4 PROFITABLE
 INVESTMENT

The most appropriate and at the same time the most attractive sou veuir one may take from Alaska, is thai which was instrumental in focus sing the attention of the entire world on our great country.
 Ever since the magic year o1 1897 sold has poured from the creeks and beaches of Alaska and been convert ed into money reckooed into millions, Hence the sight of gold either mint ed or mounted at once directs ones mind to the land of the midnight sun
 What more appropriate then, than piece of uusset jewellery, either as a frame for tle beautiful maStOdon ivory. stained by the countless years it has endured, or nuggets joined in chain work by a skilled artisan. A brooch or solitary nugget Of curious natural shape is a souvenir which tells the story Of the mad rush to the 6IoDdike.
 The fact that a purchase Of nugget jewellery is iD reality an investment in aD article that cannot depreciate seems to be dawuing upon the wis itors to the NorthlaDd and the sales are rapidly increasing in this line of .go0ds.
 H. D. Ermse has made a study of the art of nugget jewellery mounting, and has the finest display of the yellow metaT' ever gathered to- gether in one saIesr0om.

B0B HENDERSON
 0N M MILAN

The followign interview In the Daw son News will throw some light on the recent stampede to the McMillan which was reported by the Alaskan some days ago. The Dawson News says:
 Bob Henderson, discoveru of the Klondike. has returned from the Pelly River country, where he has located new pay. Bob is enthusiastic over the proposition. and will return at once and resume work on his ground.
 McMHlan river. a tributary of the Pelly, 100 miles from the Yukon. was the center of Henderson's activity. He left here in May on the first boat up the river. He worked on three or four creeks tributary to the McMil Ian, and found pannings so lattering that he returns there to do more eZ- teusive prospecting. He speaks of three and four-cent dirt and which he got from bedrock on the rim The gold is course, one forty-cent piece being found
 "In no place" says Bob, "did I get a skunk pan Some others are in the country. sourdough Yukon Coun- cillor Max Laudreville and Miuard, the Pelly rancher, are going up the McMillan to Slate creek. The coun- try is full of game. Wolves are mum erous"
 The creeks on which Bob put in most of his time are steep, shallow, and carry large boulders. and are shoveling in propositions.

NENSY LETTER
 FROM IDITAR0D

Doctor I. Fl. Moore, writing to a friend in Skagway from Iditarod un- der date of July IS gives some very interesting facts bearing on the new est placer mining camp of the Yukon. The following excerpts are taken from the letter:
 sTbe town is full of people we know but 1t is a busted community in so far as the general spirit Of bus mess is concerned.
 The terrible experience of last winter has made Che people very sore The Guggenheims by taking options held back the work. They left and did not buy, for the reason that own CTS and laymen put such prices on, that it was not good business to buy. Under these circumstances the coun- try was held up, and so work is just starting and times may get better af- ter a while.
 "Prices are so enormous that one must make a lot to live. It is uothin like OLD SKAGWAY. where all had some money.
 "The A. B. hall is fine, Court will meet in it on Monday. There will be Ia great exodus from here this fall unless this summer shows something better.
 Ruby crek is only an expectation. Nothing has been demonstrated. We stopped there for an hour
 "They skin you on every hand in this country. We could only reach Dikeman by steamer and then come up on a launch for which we paid S20 and bought our own meals.
 "I have been fighting mosQuitos for two weeks and the weather is as hot as h-u The mosquitos bite the fiercest of any I ever saw.
 "I will write you of my conclusions It is safe to say that it is not ad- visable now for people to start for Ruby or Iditarod. I think that all the men necessary are on the ground. This summer and fan may show thing up brighter but one should wait
 Prom Holy Cross to Iditarod it costs S53 fare beside the tips Flour is at SEQ sack, with bacon and ham at Sl a pound, which is going some.
 There was no work for anyone all the past winter. The Kuskokwim bubble has broken. From what the bankers say here I expect to see a big cleanup. The seasons work this year will be short and what the win ter win show, God only knows
 "One should have the wife along so as to have a decent bite to eat at living price and to rob the life Of its horrors. Restaurant prices are fierce.
 Major Strong and wife are fine, and make one feel better than any persons ! have yet met The largest knockers club in the world is here and feel that they are wrong, for l. it looks to me as if fine camp must develop here.
 If I had you with me, think I could keep up steam All drinks are 9 cents; all cigars the same; steaks ,Sl.75. coffee and siukers 25a 75 cents to launder shirt; 15 for a collar-I guess I will wear mine until they fall off.

which had cost so much labor and
of which so much was hoped, in
the adoption of the "New Cunsti-
