"The Panama is no fake, but rich and safe proposition and Dawson is also going to prove her richest year this season." Such was the remark made by Eugene Mccarthy who came out from the inside last night.
 "I suppose 1900 have left Dawson for the Panama and fully 400 have passed through there for the new district. I have seen letters from the Panama and have also talked with people from there who are worthy of belief and they say the Panama is alright. The Dawson papers have tried to throw cold water on the district but that cant hurt it She is a winner.
 "Dawson is also going to be a great camp this season and actually believe her output and commercial business will this year surpass all previous seasons"

Swanville News: About six month";
ago Olaf Johnson. better known a.
"Pine Lake, picked up a piece of..rock
on hill on his farm, near town
which he ct once recog nized as con
tanning gold. He took his find to the
houee and with a hammer crushed it,
and found he had d composition Of
greyish red rock In which were flakes
Of pure gold. He Immediately ex-
amined the hill where he had found
the rock and soon convinced himself
that It was practically :composed Of the
gold bearing rock. Sometime ago he
sent . sample Of hiss find away to be
assayed and Saturday received the
sassayist's report. which conveyed to
( him the ; surprising news. that the
sample submitted showed. IAN ssanyalsis
Of 30 cents worth Of gold TO the ounce
Of rock, or practically $3.50 to the ton.
You can imagine MIR: Johnson's feel

he had thcrouRhly investigated and
found he had almost unlimited guam
titles Of the rock, much Of which he
says, is richer even than the sample
submitted for analysis. The find and
the assayist's report. which was ex-
amined by several business men here,
has created consi derable excitement,
and further Developments are awaited

back and rescued the travellers; who
were on the platform. half frozen.

pany ought to think more of it's pat
