Estimates on Tanana's Out
 put Reach S1,OOO. 600

According to the Seattle Post h. telligencer private telegrams received at Seattle from Cinema and Fairbanks last week indicate that the spring cleanup of the Panama diggings reached sl,OOO,OOO and may be even more.
 This estimate is nearly treble the figure given toward the close of the winter. Men who came out of Fair banks in February and March placed the production of Gold at $500 It was stated by these men that the yield would have reached S75O,OOO if the mine owners had been provided with sufficient supplies for their men It was a case of plenty of gold, but little ;ood and no prospect of getting more either for love or money.
 If the spring cleanup of the Panama reaches sl 100000, the total yield for the season will not fall short of g, ,OOO,- 900, is the judgment of men who oper- ated it the district last summer.

NEW ONE
SkagWay May Have Another

Steps were taken by the chamber of commerce last night that might lead to the establishment of a new water company in Skagway. A committe to canvass the situation with the business men of Skagway was authorized. This committee will sound property owners and moneyed men in the city as to the advisability and the practi- cability of organizing another water company.
 The chamber acted on this matter, because it was pointed out that the water company now operating in the city had refused, to make any guarantee of service and because, obviously, the city could not force it to make a guarantee.
 President Daly will auounce the later.
