A klondyke Miner Tells of the Unlimited

| A letter has been received by A. M.
Hunter that contains passage concern
ing the Klondyke. which rather disputes
recent stories about the mines of that
district playing out. The letter, which is
dated al Los Angeles, reads as follows:
"You were speaking about Eldora's big
boom. but tell you candidly that Klon-
dyke is all right. l was talking with
personal friend that just camefrom there
last Saturday, and Charley and / know
him to be man of his word but wht
he told his story we laughed at him, 81
he pull. ID out his bank book and showed
US his account which was $4,000 for one
years work. He said that there was
any quantity of gold there and in five
years Klondyke would be richer than
is today. He and his partner sunk hole
I6 feet deep, 10 feet long and feet wide
and got $4,000 apiece, and he said that
a company next to him was taking ou,
rom $1,000 to $50 O day, and you
could not go into cabin but what you
would see two or three sacks of gold ana
1t is freer than bread and butter, and in
the gamoiing houses every table woul.
BE- stacked up just as high as it could Be.
He said there were twelve who came on
the boat with him and between them
there was $4,000 and that next summer
there would be over 24.coo pounds O.
& Did carrie out of that country He is
gong to build a large raft boat and take
back with him, for the worst was that
you could not get anything but just what
you took with you. In getting the
gold you would thaw out the ground un
til it was mush and then stand in the
mud ard keep that up day after day un
til you struck gold, and that there was
not one hole out of FIVE sunk but what
struck gold. So now if you see any one
tha, wants to pay all expenses tor halt
share ust take him up nd we will strike
out. There are hundreds of people going
but there is plenty of gold for them all.
