a story concerning wonderful gold finds
at Munook creek. in which ex-Mayor w.
u. Wood was interested, has gained
circulation The story purported 10 have
come from Dawson recently. and related
10 ono days washout by Judge Wood. in
which the product was reported as being
thirteen ounces. When the story was fol-

OF Judge Woods company, the Seattle
Yukon Transportation Company, II was
stated that a man named Dularge. better
known as "Burley," who left Dawson
December T. had stated that three men
who arrived at Dawson two days before
had brought letter from Mayor Wood
TO his brother Walter Wood, in which II
stated that all at Munook creek We're
well and tina. the diggings were panning
out rich. Manager A. L. Hawley. of the
Seattle Yukon Company, said that no
word OF any kind had been received from
Judge Wood. Mr. Hawley doubted the
story as 1t was told. Dawson mail has
been received since the alleged receipt of
the Munook letter from Judge Wood. but
nothing definite in the way OF information
has reached Seattle from the Munook
creek colony at Rampant City
