Bonanza, Little Eldorado, and Skoo- kum creeks have produced most of the gold mined. The short mining season, comprising only 90 to 100 days, and the remoteness of tole district from lines of transportation combine to make mining expensive. Gold has been mined actively, however, and the total production of the district up to and including the year 1914, was prob ably not far short of $SO0,OOo.

This rebellion was quel1ed few months later, and the town rebuilt on it's present site and given the name of Punta Arenas Spanish for Sandy Point). It would seem that sheep raising is the foundation upon which the little city's growth and prosperity depends to a great extent, and in this connection the writer states:
 The cold climate of Tierra del Fusgo and the strait region generally ing. In order to protect O1em from the rigors of the low temperatures na- ture provides the sheep with unusually thick and heavy coats of wool, the ouality of which is such that it com raands good prices in the markets of Europe. Its special qualities are that # washes very white and will take the most delicate dyes exceptionally well. Thus Punta Arenas has become one af the great wool-exporting ports of
 l'e world, something over 20,J00, 900 rounds being shipped from there an- ii,tally. It is estimated that there are now 2,000,O09 sheep in the territory where 35 years ago there were but
 ! S5 head all told. At the time of the
 writer's visit there was one company, capitalized at $7, ,300, 900, which owned over 1,8O0,0 900 acres of land on which were maintained 1,253, GOO sheep, 5000
 head of cattle and 9,183 horses. For
 one year the production of this com
 pany amounted to nearly 9,5O0,000 pounds of wool, shorn from 1,190,683 sheep, thus averaging 7.91 pounds of wool per animal.
 The little city beasts of. about 13,000 inhabitants, and their prosperity is in- dicated when an examination of the credit information books of the banks reveals the fact that among them

GOLD IN STREAM eRAvEls.
Found In the White River
 District, Alaska.

The discovery of gold in stream gravels on several of the headWater tributaries of ChiSana River Alaska, led to a stampede of prospectors into this district in 1913 that recalled to old-timers the early days of placer
 mining in the Territory. This district is described by Stephen R. Capps in
 U. s. Geological Survey Bulletin $50.
 Upper White River valley was first
 brought to the attention of mining
 people by the discovery of native cop
 per on Kletsan Creek, and it was not
 until geld was found on Bonanza
 Creek, in 1913, that the district began
 to be thought of as a source of gold
 rather than copper, though gold
 quartz veins had been staked in this
 very locality at least six years before
 1913. When. late in the summer, the
 men who found the gold on Bonanza Creek returned to Dawson for supplies
 their discovery leaked out, and sev-
 eral thousand gold seekers rushed into
 the country, many of them without
 equipment or provisions and unaccus- toned to the rigors of an Alaskan winter. The small supplies of food then in the region were soon .ex- hausted, prices rose to prohibitive figures, and sufficient provisions were not availabl0 even for those who could afford to buy them. Fortunately the district was we'll supplied with game. SO that for weeks many lived on a diet of rabbits and ptar.nigan. In 1914 ] most of those who had been disap- pointed in stalking valuable claims or disgusted with their experiences left the district, and slle real business of mining began.
