REDOICK GREEK
 E PROMISING

Among the outgoing passengers on the Princess Sophia last night were Robert Reddick and wife, the discoverers of the new gold strike on Reddick creek, about 20 miles from Whitehorse, and which last fall created a small stampede. MT. and Mrs. Reddick are going to Van couver for the winter and while there will use the time to secure capital for the development of their property.
 Gold was discovered in the Red dick creek country about 16 years ago, and there have been many prosrecting trips to find the source of the metal and to find the creek on which placer diggings would pay. LeMar made three trips into the country to find the stream, but failed each time.
 MT. and Mrs. Reddick have been in the country for IT years and are exUerierced miners and pioneers. They have prospected each of 14 years and never until last fall did they discover any diggings that were worth while.
 Mr. Reddick worked on Russell creek three years ago, and last fall discovered 8 new stream which empties into Russel, and on which he found gold in paying quantities. This stream was named after him. self, and is the scene of the new discoveries where hundreds of claims have been staked.
 During the fall months MT. Red dick sunk 9 shaft down IT feet, and found good paying dirt all the way. The ground is full of bould- CTS and a blast set off in the pit caused caye-in of the shaft, stopping operations temporarily. in the spring the Reddicks will again take uo the work of further devel- opOment and mining. Both MT. and Ms. Reddick are full of hope for the new district and expect to find only the best of luck.
 Mrs. Reddick emphatically stat ed the new creek is not the Mo CauIey. as stated in some quarters and which has beeR mined repeatedly but is an entirely new stream that has not yet been indicated on any map.
 Mir. Reddick is a pioneer skiff builder of the Yukon, and is known all along the great interior water highway. He and wife have suf- fered many hardships during their 17 years on the interior and each Of them know what it means to car ry a pacE on their backs and ram, for days in search of the yellow metal. Now that they have made their discovery they are bend ing all their efforts to develop the country and to procure enough of the gold to repay them for their many hardships, True sour doughs" may be the best descrip- tive word of the Reddicks.
