VANCOUVER, B. c., August t.
The melodrama of the gold rush, with
all the color and violence of the '49
days and of the Klondyke, is being
staged 800 miles nor.A Of here in the
bleak territory between the Frazer
river and Cariboo mountains.
For weeks, prospectors, miners
from California and Alaska, and
their following of gamblers and ad-
venturers have painfully been max
ing their way with pack-trains to
Cedar, Spanish Lake and Rose Gulch.
The rush has been in progress
ever since three men, who staked
claims there last fall, returned this
spring with the news that gold had
been found.
The discovery is an echo of an
other rush a half century ago when
Cedar Greek in two years gave up
$50,000,000 in gold to placer miners.
