 It is reported that number of other men in the vicinity have gone to stake and that some others are leaving Daw- son for the creek.
 Gladstone Creek enters Indian river about seven miles above the mouth ot Indian, which in turn flows into the Yu kon river. Gladstone is on the left limit or south side of Indian and is said to be about seven miles long and to head in the divide opposite Reindeer Creek. The gold quartz is-said to come from ledge paralleling the creek. Il is said some fine values have been ob- tained from pieces of the quartz which were crushed and banned, and that gold was found in the slide on the hill side, presumably making the creek val uable for placer purposes.-Dawson News!
