them considerable gold from the new Dig

OF the ships IN the harbor had to divide

At Dyea the excitement was fully as
great. Many of the stores We're closed
that their proprietors might join the gold
racers. A large party had started from
the lakes several days before. but this
had no effect on the stampeders. Wasn't
