 The establishment of a large pumping plant is only possible if water power be used, as the price for generating steam IS prohibitive. The K1ondike River could pc used for this purpose.

 With cheap electric energy there is a vast field for dredging purposes in the entire :Klondike District In 1act in my own group of white chan mel claims have white gravel in sufficient quantities to supply 100 stamp mill for many years, and cheap electric energy combined gold content thereof from such white channel gravel.
 If can be of any further service please
