SEATTLE, July 29.-Ten million dol

of the new Iditarod camp next season,
according to information gathered by

Just returned from Alaska. Mr.. Spen-

Every one seems agreed that the
camp will be a good producer, al
though more people stampeded to the
new district than can be conveniently
handled this season. Many cannot
help but be disappointed.
Few appear to be returning from
the Iditarod. and almost without ex-
ception those coming out were doing
so to secure machinery to take back
or making other plans to develop the
new camp.
"Fairbanks is doing fairly we'll this
season, although the stampede to the
Iditarod took many from the Tanana
district. Many streams and districts
in the Tanana section heretofore un-
developed are being prospected and
