The KlondLke Olean-Un.

: San Francisco, June pa letter
from Dawson, dated May 2G, says tho
cleanup for the present season will
amount to at least $1s, 900, more
than twice last years yield. The i'm
crease is due to the fact that Dominion,
Sulphur and Hunker creeks, which
were practically unworlted last season,
have been developed to considerable
extent, with favorable results, and tho
bench claims on Eldorado, Bonanza,
HunIter and Dominion have been
worked to such an extent that their
output will greatly increase the total
production. Gold run, which is prac-
tically the only "new" creek in tho
district, has also shown up well.
