United States Omcial Assayer 1t Seattle
Says that Win be Gold Output of Alaska
and the Northwest for 19OO---Cape
Nome Will Rival the Klondike---S1S'-
sos, 900 in Gold Received at Seattle Az
say Office Since July IL, 1898.
Seattle, Wash.-A great many people
ridicule the stories that are told of the fab
u1ous riches of the Alaska gold fields. Re-'
ports of output of gold are characterized as
deliberate lies. The rush to the gold fields
is said to be fostered by railway and steam
ship managers. These 'doubting Thorn
ases' are respectfully referred to the fol-
lowing letter from Mr.. F. A. Wing, assayer
in charge of the United States assay office
at Seattle. It is sufficient evidence OF the
amount of gold ACTUALLY DEPOSITED
AT THE SEATTLE ASSAY OFFICE.
The Alaska gold fields have hardly been
forth no man can foresee. Certain 1t Is
that young men of good health, with pluck
and energy and determination to succeed
will dig immense fortunes out OF the golden
sand of Cape Nome, Cape York, Cape
Prince of Wales, Norton Sound and Golotin
what Mr.. Wing writes:
The q. s. Assay Office at Seattle. WASH,
Office of the Assayer in Charge, Nov. 2sth,
IS99.-Mr. r. c.. Stevens, Gen. Western
Pass. Agt:, Great Northern Ry., City:Isir:
In reply to yours of the 9th inst, l have
the honor to submit the following data
which trust will be satisfactory. This Of
fee was opened on July 18th, 1898. Since
that date there have been 1908 separate in
dividual deposits of bullion, aggregating
eighteen million five hundred and five thou
sand dollars; one-third Of which was re-
ceived during the first fiscal year ended
June 80th, 1899; the balance since that time.
The comparative average values per ounce
OF K1ondike and Cape Nome gold are as fol-
lows: S16.50 per ounce Klondike; $3.50 per
ounce Cape Nome.
In my judgment the output for 1900 will
easily double that of 1899. In my prepara-
lions for next season I am anticipating at
least twenty millions for this office alone,
on basis Of thirty millions as the entire
output of Alaska and the Northwest Terri
tory. All indications lead me to believe
that Cape Nome and its immediate vicinity
will equal the Klondike in amount of pro-
duction. Trusting this will meet with your
requirements, I am, Respectfully Yours,
(Signed) F. A. WING, Assayer in Charge.
