production of the baby camp there was much talk of the future of the district which in a couple of produced 5000 900 a single season Last year he output ss.OoooOo That season struck about fair average of what may be expected in the way of combined quartz and placer output for several years come. It is safe say that that S6. .o00 900 stayed in Fairbanks than of the $9o0O000 production few years back.
 It that the benefit accrung to the camp is in direct proportion the increased working the ground. rather amount of deeper low grade ground opened up It holds operators and induces them to prospect more diligently. The result is that ground which has been years past is being worked profit. that have been walked over with notice swelling the yearly figures Everyone in the camp knows the history of Engineer creek, Goldstream and Eva Eva was just fairly opened during the past This year she will produce it is believed, at least half mil lion The total output expected of the camp is :6- 0OO.000
 Although every there are those who assure us that the pay is worked out and that another or two will find the going pieces. every winter. too. sees some streaks and spots of rich dirt throughout the camp. Such prospecting work done during the closed together with rich deep ground which will not be exhausted for several years. is sufficient to convince the skeptical the predicted playing of the camp very little near CT than when the first warnings were voiced.

However difficult to work ground may be, pay dirt will be left in the camp there is profit to be made by working it. Many operators have slices of ground prospected that they know they have cheap wide They will work it time.
