DAWSON IS BUSY

DAWSON. May 2-The annual harvest of gold has begun in the camp. and il is generally predicted that the cleanup for the season will exceed that of last year by a round million Water is running every where. and those operators who have not already started up are making all haste to take advantage of the many sluiceheads that are running to waste.
 All of the big dredges of the camp have started up, operators are getting ready with their hydraulic plants. and the small miners are washing up their winter dumps of which there are quite a number this spring. twithstanding the suppo- sition that the camp was long since worked out by this method of min ing.
 The output of the klondike this year will be the largest for several seasons and it is expected that the annual flow of gold will increase steadily during the next several years as a result Of the many dredg- CTS and other improved methods of operating on large scale The output of last season was S4,0OO, 900; this year the yield is estimated at 5000. 900
 From two to four new dredges are planned for this summer and there is reason to believe there will be several more hydraulic plants added to the present equipment of the camp A giant water power plant is now being installed at a cost of over $l 900 GOO, and this will he supplying water and power to the surrounding country before the close of the present season.
 That there is still much desirable ground left is evidenced by the con test that is on between Treadgold and the Guggenheims for the pos session of several of the oldest creeks which nave been practically deserted by the small miners.
 The Milvain company will operate extensively in the Fortymile district during the coming summer. This concern plans the opening up of several new properties, and in addi- tion to the dredge, which is at pres ent on the ground, new machine will be installed. The Consolidated Fortymile company is about ready to begin operations for the season, and will start up its two dredges within the next few days.
 John Milton, the Minneapolis capi- talst and Old-timer of Hunker creek, left Whitehorse today with crew of men to open up the Tantalus coal mine at Five Fingers, and it is eX- pected that this excellent grade of fuel will be ready for the local mar kets this season in any quantity de- sired Milton has been at work on the Tantalus properties for several seasons and during the past winter he was successful in interesting Eng fish capital in the promising mine, from which is taken the only coal in the Yukon which will coke.
 There are now 2,000 tons of min ing machinery in sight at Whitehorse for shipment to Dawson on the early boats Included in this are the two new dredges which have been order ed by the Guggenheims for their holdings here.

The car has withstood the tests well
thus far. but the real test will come at
endurance. when the Tigers are at
Lakewood.
The distance from Lakewood to New

used by autoists than the rail route,
and McGinnity expects to find his cal
invaluable while the Tigers are In

time and save time In the bargain. in
