REPORT YUKON DREDCE
TO ENTER ELK DISTRICT

A report has been circulated from
Elk City to the effect that men said
to represent the Yukon Gold company
a Guggenheim corporation, are now
taking options on large number of
farms and other properties in the Ell
City mining district.
These properties are being acquired
with view to determining their value
as source of gold that is possible OF
extraction with dredges. Tests on a
large scale are contemplated. The prop.
erty acquired and to be acquired lies
along the American and Elk rivers II
has an area of thousands of acres and
lies within a territory two miles wide
by five miles long by estimate. Al
equipment for drilling the ground has
been ordered.
Operating i'm Occur d'Alenes.
The scale upon which operations
may be conducted is suggested hy the
investment of the Yukon Gold com.
pany of Prichard creek in the Coeul
dAlene region and where $4,000 wa
expended in preparation for work
aside from the cost of a large dredge
! valued at $250,000, that was brought
from Alaska.
The removal of placer gold from
the Elk City district by dredee will
be the fourth since its discoVereyS In
1860. First in the field@were party
of white men. They were followed
by Chinese, who turned over ground
vacated by the whites, and 10 years
ago by dredging operator who in
vaded only small part of the fielt
and then with small boat.
1T is impossible to arrive at any
thing like a correct estimate Of thu
gold production from placers in tn,
Elk City district, but it is said th'
records still preserved show tha
about $1S50O,O0O passed through tn

nine were found in the tunnel and
fourteen others succumbed to their in
juries at the hospitals. But forty-nine
of the dead have been identified.
Ex-Baseball Player Killed
Among the men killed outright by
the deadly blast was James J. McClos-
key, former baseball pitcher, at one
time a member of the Philadelphia
National League Club.
Assistant General Manager Buchan-
an, of the Delaware and Hudson Coal
Company, after investigation at the
scene of the disaster, gave it as his
opinion that the explosion was not
caused by the sagging of the overhead
wire. He believes that perhaps steel
bar or drill carried by one Of the men
came in contact with the wire, forming
the short circuit which caused the pow
der to explode. According to the COM
panys figures 143 men and boys were
being carried by the train, and about
seventeen escaped injury.

hell. No man could possibly hope to
escape with his life unless he got in
the water, buried his face and rolled
over and over, as l did. There was
powder in the car. There were about
ten kegs, and besides there were kegs
