 returned from Dawson. and brings word of
 discovery of promising new diggings so miles from Dawson. He has not filed his discovery claim, and will not tell where the discovery was mate until after he has filed He, however, has confidence that the place is rich. Hewlll remain here until February when he will return to the interior.
 "There Is no indueement in Dawson, !" slys Mr. Emery, ''for men who are look ing for labor. The matter has gone so far that some who want 10 earn stake have turned their backs on the klondike and are mushing out to the extension of the White Pass & Yukon railroad, where the, hope to find work. lt is reported in Daw' hat wages on the road are 8 a day aud board.
 Good tive dogs are worth from sIco to sI5o each In Dawson. There Is a fair demand for them by parties going down the river toward Nome. The dogs b, ought from q e coast are not prized nearly so high as those native to the north.
 From Fortv-Mlle to Bennett l had a hard trip. did not know of the new government eut-off trail and walked along the river over the old route.
 have interests in the Klondike, own ing g below discovery on the left limit of Bonanza, and ean.say from extensive obser- vations and inquiries and prospecting that the country will be better the next two or three years than ever.
 "The highlands along the richest creeks which for a time were supposed to be nothing but elevated useless heaps of old mother earth are now proving to be valu- -ti~. and claims that ""''' h> nr'Se' AZ, anyone are StakeI there. lt seems that old creeks and river channels, which long since rolled their waters toward the fu- don, crossed and reer-ssed the highlands, and that their beds are now the resting places of rich aurferous deposits. These oll channels are I5o to 25o feet wide, and overlook the present creek bottoms. A chemist who has assaved the bed rock on some of these old channels has found that that very rock carries gold. Some of this bedrock from place on the left limit of Bonanza ran as high as sIoo to the ton The bed r, ek from the beds is peculiar 1t is ,oft at first, almost like clay. The Ieerer it goes the harder It gets. It has to be pulvelized and worked with quieksll' yer.
 "To prove the gold from Eldorado and lower Bonanza Gas come from the old creek channel, which parallels them, $ an easy matter.
 "The creeks which cut through this old channel from the left limits of the creek: is all rich with placer gold, while trt creeks on the right limit carry no gold al all. The noted French hill Is on the old channel lying on the left limit of Eldo- ralo. Gold hill is on the left limit of Bo- nanza, opposite the forks of EIdorado anC Bonanza. Cheechako hill is on the Jeff limit of Bonanza, on Ad ms creek. Ort Flno hill is also on Bonanza, on the olC channel between American gul,h and Fol guleh. which are both rich with gold Every bench on Bonanza creek which cut into the old channel on the left limit o the creek is rich. My opinion Is that tn tributaries of the KIOndike have not beeI prospected, but only run over. "lhave discovered numerous old chan nels in that region thlt produce fair pros poets, which. | beli,ve, if properly devel op.d, would yield rich returns.
 Throughout the Klondlke country Is great deal of land that will be of value U hvdraullc work. Even on the headlan '' right above Kondike City, sometime called 'Louse Town.' several cents pa can be washed out. That point will son
 day be of value as hydraulic propert'
 The earth that now runs off on the dumE i, from the sluice boxes Of the rich KlondiE n property will pay to work over agaiI 4 3oxes are now given a big drop; larl :, chunks of earth are thrown in unbroke' ., and gold and all often rolls out on the tai d ing pis." .. ir Mr. Emery first went into the KlondlF II country in 1898.
