| output of the Panama and pro- nounccs the figures as being lex tremcly conservatives:
 The gold output of the Fair banks district for the year 1912 will exceed $5,000,OOO, according to a careful compilation made of estimates furnished t0 The Times i by conservative business and financial men of Fairbanks. Tn" output is very likely to exceed the , estimate, for recent discoveries l of pay made on various creeks fin the district lead to that belief. The estimate is based on average cnnd lions and is considered as extremely conservative. Should the water supply br above the ar- craze and tn" season be of more than the usual length, it is prob able that inc output will be cor total will. of course. be larger. 1 Considered from in" producing standpoint. Eva creek, Inc little
 tributary of Ester, is the most
 noticeable. Last year the .crcck
 produced buI a few thousands of dollars. while this year the rSli-
 mate places it's output al the half million mark. Ester creek. last
 year estimated at a quarter mil
 lion. will probably produce almost
 twice that amount durin" the
 present season.

Last year it. was placed at a paltry S5O,O0O. This year, if the major fly of the five mills now on inc creeks sec their way clear to op- crate, it should exceed the quar- 1 ter million mark with ease.
