ORE SHIPMENT
 PLEASES DAWSON


 One of the most reiro1hing items of current news for Yukoners is that within Q few daya the first oi a ship mont of I,5OO tons of silver ore will reach Dawson from Che Mayo camp. This shipment win make lood for an ocean steamship of no mean ca- pacity. When landed at the omelter lin san Francisco 1t will make the wise ones look over Che horizuo to Yukon with renewed Interest.
 Not since the treasure ship Port Hand sailed down the North Pacific with hcr cargo of sold from the first llllondike cleanup has there been a more promising new shipment from this territory But this one cargo 1 of silver does not prove camp, and does not warrant q stampede. As stated by arrivals this week from this ] district, there is no labor in the Mayo district for outsiders, and nothing op. ened mp but the one prospect or mine. However, the country is large and well mineralIzed ano there is room for. prospectors Men with outfits will find as good opportunities there as anywhere. 1T others strike anything similar to what McWhorter and Ait ken have on Galena creek whence comes this first biz silver shipment, they win add vastly to Che promise of the country The opening Of a few good properties which will stand thorough tests will make a camp, and good one.
 But is it too much to herald to the world that Q new and permanent camp is located. However the indications arc sufficient to warrant men who can secure the supplies to follow up pros. pecting on the Yukon with real ear nesness. Other good mineral pros peots are being tested near Dawson and some in more remote parts of the territory. and with a territory here large enough to embrace several Eng Hands, and with such highly mineral ized characteristics there can be no doubt that the hard working and per sistent prospectors in time will put Yuyon in the class of steady hard rock producers.-(Dawson News.)
