T HAT the Klondike gold fields con-
tinue to produce many millions
of gold is evidenced by the an
nual report of Vice Consul G. c.
Woodward, who has compiled statis=
tics on the imports and exports of the
Yukon region.
The total exports, he reports, from
States for the year ending December
81, 1906, as appears from the records
of his consulate, amounted TO S5,643,-
415. OF this amount $500, SOC was
gold dust and $322,S09 was rnerchan-
disc; s5.2s7.0ss of the gold was Cana
dian and s33.5Ss was American. OF the
merchandise. $223.915 was American
goods returned-that is, goods that had
been sold TO merchants in Dawson by
exporters in the United States and re-
sold by them to merchants in Alaska.
The balance OF the merchandise ex
ported was goods shipped to Dawson
from different points in Canada and
reshipped to Alaska.
The total exports invoiced through
this consulate for the year ending De-
ceber 81, 1905. from the Yukon terri
tory to the United States amounted to
$7,S49.95S and was comprised as fol-
lows: American gold, s75.S01 Ameri-
can goods, $404.971; Canadian gold. ST.
241.092; Canadian goods, $12s.094.
The dutiable imports Of the Yukon
territory for the nine months ending
March 81, 1906, amounted to s950,976,
of which $669,S05 was entered for con-
sumption. The total tonnage of goods
entering Dawson during the year end
ing December 81, 1906, via the Skag-
way route, was approximately $4,000
tons, of which 5000 tons We're in tran
sit for Alaska. There was no tonnage
of consequence leaving Dawson for the
outside. via Skagway. The open sea-
son in this territory-that is. that pOr-
ton of the year in which these goods
are received-is from June Is to Oc-
tober 10 The total tonnage of goods
during the same period entering Daw-
son, via Eagle (the lower river route)
amounted approximately to 1000 tons
and the amount leaving Dawson via
this route amounted approximately to
5000 tons
The principal product of the Yukon
territory at the present time is gold.
The other products worthy of mention
are furs. timber, coal, copper and other
minerals. and vegetables and hay.
There is, of course, an abundance of
fish and game, but not sufficient for
expectation. The invoiced furs ex-
ported during the calendar year 1906
amounted to 1920 skins OF various
