 It is contemplated by our company. install, as soon as possible, two additional dredges, as there Is a large surplus of money in the treasury.
 We have also large interests where pumping can be used successfully in sluicing high benched gravel.
 Not being an officer of the Canadian Klondike Mining Co, the main office be- am a very large sfockhoider with my brothers. and MT. Fred Rothschild is the general Manager of the company and is located at Dawson.
 must naturally speak without author ity, but we will naturally be large users of your power on our properties; in fact, I believe we could use the greatest part of your entire power plant.
 Very respectfully yours.
 Harry s. Rothschild. Dear Sir:

From my Investigations I consider the Companys estimates of earnings on the power plant quite conservative.
 Geo. G O. .. Baker. M. E. Dear Sirs:
 Mining for placer gold has been carried on in the Klondike District for nearly the Yukon on Territory has has beer been 2 steady producer, yielding over 120 millions or gold bullion.
 Pumping has not been in tbe main a success because the cost of fuel has been so great as to make the water so expen- sive that none but the richest hill gravels eoud be worked ,ii at rsapcs prst the Anything pumping water will to the extent of that reduction make it possible to work gravel by this method that up to the present could not be worked at a profit Dredging is to be the great vol # the future in mining gold in the KIon- dike.
 On the Klondike River and it's tribu- are at present seven drsdges ready foe work under construction. These machines are driven by steam or electricity. Electricity generated by wa ter power will be the power of the fti- ture in that district and there is already large market for such power and will be a much greater market in future The nearest source for generating power is the Klondfke River
 Truly yours,
