STRIKE ON THE YUKON.
Report of Rich Find in Tanana Valley
Confirmed.

Chicago, Feb. 21.-Federal officers
IN the Yukon river confirm the story
that a gold strike equalling that of the
Klondike has been made in Tanana
valley. Two thousand miners are STAN.
peding thither from Nome, Dawson,
Eagle and Rampant. Some of them will
probably perish, as the weather
throughout the Yukon has been most
severe. The stampeders are taking
only enough supplies to last them on
the journey. This may endanger the
lives Of all, since provisions are very
short in the new camp.
United States Commissioner Clay
pool writes from Circle that 900 claims
have been recorded in the new district
which is officially known as Fairbanks
being named after Senator Fairbanks.
Bottles of coarse gold have been
brought to Commissioner Claypool,
fully confirming the richness of the
strike.
Pedro, Cold Stream and Pine creeks
are the richest streams, running 25 to
so cents per pan.

plain Valley of Vermont Is surely the
scene Of Its birth, comments a writer
In Harper's Magazine. From this eyrie
Rochester Mountain one may see the
great lake that is the gate to the
country" as the Indians named Lake
Champaign; one may see the Otter up
which the paint-smeared sayages crept
to make their murderous attacks deep

may scan where Ticonderoga lies In
shameful abandonment, the spot where
Champlain fought the red men Of 293
years ago., where the French built their
most important fort in the chain that
a from Montreal to New Orleans:
where Amherst took it from them;
where III dashing friend and leader,
young Lord Howe, fell and was Sc
cretly buried.
1t required but little imagination for
the minds eye to see the path that
Ethan Allen and his band took to gain,
at this fortress, our first great victory
in the revolutionary war. From where
the church spires marked the seats of
Rutland, Pittsford, Brandon. Whiting,
Castleton and Middlebury, one fancied
he might almost see again the tall
rugged mountain boys" stalking the
trails to the rendezvous with Allen at
SUPPLEMENTARY noted nov as the
birthplace of Levi z. Morton.
All of these villages are prosperous
and beautiful places to-day-the sum-
mer resorts of well-to-do folks from a
score of distant cities. Even the edge
of the rich valley, where the lake wa
ters lap the Vermont shore, now
shows the beginning of a movement to
stud the lakeside and the islands in the
lake with fine summer hotels and pala-
tial mansions set in great estates.
