NEW RICH GOLD DISCOVERY
WILL MORE THAN EQUAL THE
kLoNDlkE.
300 Miles From the Source of the Ia
mana River, In American Territory
Stampede In Progress-CircIe City
Deserted-Dscoveries on Smaller
Creeks Prove to Be Wonders.

Seattle, Wash.-A special from Daw-
son says: A tremendously rich strike
the magnitude of which has never been
equaled since Bob Henderson told his
wonderful story of the Klonkide, has
been made Is miles north of a point on
Tanana river, 300 miles from it's
source.
The district is in American terri
tory. Circle has been depopulated and
wild stampede of prospectors from
all the surrounding country is in prog
ress. AS yet few have reached the dis
covery.
The holes that have proved the
wealth of the country were only sunk
late this winter and the first man to
reach Dawson from the new country
has just arrived. He is a Japanese,
j. Wada, well known in Dawson, where
his veracity and honesty are known
as his chief traits. So far the report
has not been spread to any extent in
Dawson, but the little that has been
surely means stampede.
The gist of Wada's report on the
ground is that the district resembles
the Klondike in its physical formation
but has heavier growth of timber
Gold of widely different kinds had been
found in eight different creeks when
Wada left for Dawson, December %.
The original strike was made on Pc
dro, a creek running parallel with Ia
mana, about Is miles from the river.
This creek is staked for miles. Dan
Mccarthy, we'll known DaWsonite,

cents. On Christmas day he had 16
cents to the pan. Three days later he
had found rs cents to the pan. The
ground became richer all the time as
he descended and what he found be-
fore reaching bedrock may be still
more sensational reading when the
news is finally received.
Pedro creek, the discovery creek,
has not yet equaled Gold stream. Sew
enteen cents is the richest found, but
its wealth is better indicated in state
ment that Costa brothers sunk several
shafts to bedrock and found an even
run OF gold in every one, with a pay
streak over eight feet right through
with width of about 600 feet.

his claim on Gold stream and refused
it.

Fuel shortage is still the one seri-
ously disturbing element in the indus
trial situation. transportation facil-
tiles have been diverted from other
merchandise, to the disadvantage of
shippers, yet iron furnaces are unable
to secure sufficient supplies of coke
and many other manufacturing plants
are closed because of inadequate coal
deliveries. Mines are more fully op-
Grated, but there is no prospect of nor

low temperature during the past week
