PLACER GOLD IN KLoNDIKE.
Glowing Reports Received From
Consul McCoOk, of Dawson.

Glowing Reports Received From
Consul McCoOk, of Dawson.
"The gold fields in the territory Of Alas
ka," says Consul J. c. McCook, of Daw-
son, in a letter to the State Department.
"at Forty Mile. Eagle City. and Seventy
Mile districts, are becoming more prom
ising and bid fair to rival any territory
yet discovered for placer gold mining. The
geological formation in these districts is
practically the same as that adjacent to
Dawson.
Sections of the Forty-Mile District"
he says, have been difficult of access: but
since the location of a mining camp at
Eagle City prospecting parties have been
sent out to examine the tributaries of
Forty Mile River and good paying ground
has been discovered during the past win
ter. Slade Creek, a tributary in the Eagle
City District. has recently been found to
contain much gold, and no doubt many
other creeks will be found equally as rich.
In the Forty-Mile District. American
Creek, Chicken Creek, and Stone House
Creek contain rich gold deposits. but the
best in this district is Jack Wade Creek,
which. from all indications, will equal any
yet found, even in the Yukon District Of
Canada.
THE gold belt of the Koyuk mining dis
trict. in the vicinity of Union City and
Peavy trading post, Alaska. Is also found
to be as rich as Forty Mile district, and
more adapted to hydraulic mining. Circle
City was almost deserted at the time Of
these discoveries. the miners staplpeding
across the country to the KOyuk, long
distance. From Rampant City the trip
was only 200 miles. and the trails were in
a good condition. The ground where gold

reported not SO frozen as in the Klondike,
and is therefore easier to work.
''It Is surmised that Alaska will ex-
ceed the Canadian Yukon in gold output in
a few years If properly developed. 1t COW
ers more gold-bearing territory and the
gold so far discovered is evenly distributed,
not being in pockets. as is the case on
many creeks in the KlOndike district,
when one claim may be rich and the ad-
joining one worthless"
The consul says that the sanitary con-
dition is better. health officers have been
appointed. and Dawson City is to be drain
ed. There has been an overstock Of fresh
meat this winter and moose meat sold by
the Indians has kept the price OF beef
down.
The mail service leaving Dawson twice
a month has been excellent. The quickest
route, Consul McCook, says for persons
going to Alaska for prospecting Forty Mile,
Eagle City, or Seventy Mile is by the pass,
then by boat from Lake Bennett. through
Dawson. The bulk Of freight for Dawson
will go up the Yukon.
In a later report Consul McCook says:
''The outlook Of the placer gold fields Of
the Klondike has not been better since
gold was first discovered in the Yukon ter
ritory. Already this winter several new
strikes have been made on creeks that were
supposed to be barren"
