fox skins from his ranch on Middleton
Island. Smith and his foxes are the
sole inhabitants of this fertile little
island, which is on the open ocean just
outside of Prince William sound. There
is little gold in the beach sand and at
times he works rocker, but there is
not enough pay to justify any great
amount of work. AT the present time
the garden on the island is as far adj
vanced as those in the States, the eli
mate being very mild. Smith says that
he located the wreck of the Discovery

The Innoko strike is fact. Four pros

years through the Mckinley range and
down the Kuskokwim, without finding
pay, decided to come to the Yukon.
Gaines took sick and went outside.
Coming over the divide between the
Kuskokwim and Innoko, prospecting on
the way, they finally found colors late
last fall, aud then tried the rim rock,
finding five cents in the first pan. This
rapidly ran up to 70 cents. They then
made foGr lengths of sluice boxes, and
in eight days sluiced with their crude
working outfit $500. The men were
short of grub, and while two men work
ed the others fished for grayling. The
men, when shoveliDg in, picked up two
nuggets, of s66 and $3.50. The gold is
flat and coarse. The formation in which
it was found is slate. The men bad to
go over to the Kuskokwim for grub, and
as they could not buy it they told of
the strike, and all the bean peddlers
and steamboat men in the country
came over and staked, some men as high
as sixty claims. The original discover
ers only staked five claims. The limo
ko is about five hundred miles long,
and can be navigated to within sixty
miles OF the strike with light-draught
steamers. Fishing boats can go to dis
covery claim, on Gaines creek.
