which to contend that is proving troublesome.
 It grows cut of the movement of considerable body of "cheechakos north last Spring. Unable to ob- tain employment in Southern cities, they trekked North in the hope of getting something to do. Most of thsse are still idle and without funds, making it necessary for the public to provide them with re- lief.
 Two New Strikes
 Two new strikes have been made in the Yukon in recent weeks that are highly interesting and, if sur face values continue with depth will result in the addition of new mines, declared MT Blask. One of them, described in despatches from Whitehorse recently, is on the hills at the head of Livingstone Creek, in the Big Salmon area. The other is on Big Creek in about the center of the Territory. Both are gold lodes and are reported to carry high values.
 Livingston Wer n ecks, Superin- tendent of the Treadwell Yukon operations in the Mayo district, went to the Livingstone Creek re- zion by plane yesterday and is ex- pected to spend several days exam ming the discoveries and making a preliminary geological study of the lrea.
