Dawson, June 12.-News comes from Quartz creek, 25 miles from Dawson, of what seems to be the best strike of pay dirt made in this camo since the early rush days.

One story brought in by Quartz creek ar rivals has it that the lucky miners already have in sight 400 cars of pay gravel that will run $500 to the car. This, however, may be subject to some correction, but the news of the strike is quite the sensation of the town and the creeks and all old timers are busy discuss ing the new find and the possibility Of opening of good pay streaks which have been overlooked for years ill this camp.
 The uew find has been made on he upper half of claim No. g below A. Mack's discovery on Quartz creek and cu ground owned by John T. Rosmau and George Yott. 4 part of tbe ground is being worked on a lay by Charley Henpila. All three men have been working on the ground for some time.
