Reports from the far northwest
show that there may be some SUR
prises in the cleanup in the various
mining camps. The Klondike is sure
TO yield many more millions than last
season, because OF the labor saving
machinery, such as devices for rapid
thawing of the frozen earth and for
bringing the earth to the surface. AT
Atlin, 1t is asserted on good authority,
the bench claims will yield from 81
to $12 a cubic yard, and the Spruce
Creek bench claims will produce $751;
100000. Most of the owners of claims
on Spruce and other creeks have put
in hydraulic machinery and in this
way they have worked a large amount
OF ground.

IMPORTANCE OF THE CENSUS.

We have no doubt that the supervisor
of the census for this district under
stands fully the Importance of making a
very careful enumeration of the inhabi-
tants of this city, and, in fact, of the
entire district. We are sure, however,
that everybody interested in Savannah
would be especially grateful to him If he
would take extra pains TO impress upon
the enumerators the necessity for getting
on their lists the name of every person
living within the city's limits. 1t is not
desired that the city shall appear to have
more inhabitants than it really has, but
II is desired that it shall make just as
good a showing as it is possible for it
to make legitimately.
1t is certain that hundreds of citizens
will be missed in the enumeration I'M
less che enumerators pursue their in
quiries persistenty and intelligently.
There are houses az which they will call
where they will find ii difficult to get cor
rect information. not perhaps because Of
a desire to withhold the facts. but be-
cause of a lack of knowledge of what is
actually required. They will come across
houses where there is no one at home and
concerning the occupants of which she
neghbors probably know very little.
II is impossible TO think of all of the
conditions likely TO arise that would in
terfere with getting a correct enumera-
ton. 1t is certain, however that the
enumeration will show the population to
be much below what 1t actually is un-
less the enumerators undertake their
work with a determination to spare no
effort to get the name of every person
that lives within the limits of the city.
In other cities of the state special eff
forts will be made to show that there
has been great growth within the last
ten years. 1t is probable that their citi-
zens will do what they can 90 assist the
could assist the enumerators by calling
their attention 10 persons that they have
some ground for thinking, have been
overlooked. and by giving information
respecting neighbors who may be absent
al the time of the visit of the enumera-
tors. In fact, there are a number of
ways in which the people can assist the
enumerators. If they have no sugges-
tons to make they can encourage the
enumera tors 20 be thorough in their work.
Savannah has grown considerably since
the last census was taken, and the CEN
sus this year should show a big increase
in population.
