Marking a new epoch in Northern mining development and representing the largest shipment ever sent out O.. the Kuskokwim River District between Seward Peninsula and the Aleutian Islands a consignment of Sl50,O00 in gold dust arrived in Seattle Wcdnes- day when the steamer Katherine C, docked in port from the North. The gold dust is being shipped into the states by placer miners along the Kus- kokwim River, according to advice re- ceived Thursday by J. l.. Burnside, general agent in Seattle of the White Pass & Yukon Route and the Northern Commercial Company, which main tains a number of trading posts in hat territory.
 Reccnt advices from that section indicate a big increase in population and an optimistic boom spirit. The big gold dust shipment just releived here represents the pioneer tg of placer miners banning the tributary streams of the Kuskokwim. Between 4,000 and 5000 tourists were handled cn the White Pass line during the summer season, which breaks the re- cords of all previous years.

Everybody who is sincerely interested in Seward will buy some shares and in thirty days from the time the company is organized every share will be sold and and the necessary equipment purchas- cd.
