 Reliable reports indicate that another gold field has been discovered what is called the Tolsu dis trct a region lying between the Inncko and the Ruby mining districts These reports say that one pay creek has been opened and that favorable prospects have been found on a half dozen other streams Everybody in the new camp appears to be optimistic and there are no knockers around, most unusual condition to be sure.
 Most of us old-tlmers here in Alaska are given to saving that there will again be discovered in the Northland such camps the Klondike. in the Yukon Territory and Nome and Fairbanks in Alaska. Just the other day Billie" Leake of the best known of the old sourdough prospectors told the Seattle re- porers that there would be no more important placer strikes in Alaska: that the country had been gone over by prospectors and that the big placer deposits had been found. Of course oldtmers are entitled to express our opinion about the subject but 1t does not follow that that opinion is right It is within the range of possibility that the Toso district will prove big placer camp. In fact, there is plenty of room In Alaska for the efforts of the prospector All the gold pacers have not been found Indeed. the rich est may be as yet undiscovered Gold is where you find it. and 1t is not within the limitations of mere may to say with any degree of certainty that there will be no more big placer discoveries in Alaska li is one of those things that beyond the ken Of the finite mind.
