.HORDES RUSH
TO GOLDFIELDS
Stories of Sudden Wealth
Lure PrOspectors to
Northern Canada
MINING OPERATIONS

EDMONTON, ALBERTA.-Tales
Of sudden wealth have brought pros
pectors by the hundreds to this
town, starting point Of the trek tc
the new goldfields of the Northwest.
Already during the past two years
1000 claims, extending over an area
Of IS miles in. length, have been
staked. Prospectors who started out
with dreams Of riches have returned
and have been able to sell their
claims to several Of the large min
ing corporations of Canada and the
United States for prices ranging
from $50, to S50O,000.
Three new boom towns have
sprung up. They are Goldfelds, on
Lake Athabasca; Saskatchewan, on
the north border of North West Ter
ritories; Yellowknife and Gordon
Lake, N. w. T.
Await Production.
\ The test Of the wealth Of the new
fields will be made when three prop
critics come into production in a
/ few months, as soon as milling
/ equipment can be delivered, erected
and started.
! Meanwhile prospectors and 9TH
.ers set off daily on tours of aerial
exploration. Forty airplanes which
operate winter and summer and
cover an area of 100000 miles fly
these men into the unexplored parts,
leave them for few days, then re-
turn and pick them up and fly them
to another spot so or 100 miles far
ther on. In this manner several rich
strikes" have been made.
The aircraft also deliver thou
sands Of tons of freight. The mines
are entirely dependent upon them
for supplies during the winter, when
the Mackenzie river is frozen over.
During summer power boats and
barges operate on the river, rushing
in as much freight as possible.
Oil Fields Found.
Oil discovered at McMurray,
about 300 miles from here, will soon
supply fuel to the river boats and
airplanes and to the diesel-operated
mining plants Of the mines at an
economical cost. Refneries and
storage tanks have already been
completed.
Although "Old Gus" Nyman, the
original discoverer of Goldfields, is
now penniless-his secret leaked out
before he had a chance to stake his
claims-fortune has smiled on 9TH
ers.
Sam Otto, an ''old timer" in the
game, sold his Is claims to a min
ing syndicate for $50, 900 last Febru-
ary. Two young men. the Ryan
brothers, sold their claims in the
Yellowknife area to Canadian min
ing corporation for a reported $780,
wy. An adjoining group Of claims
was sold by the owners to another
syndicate for S150,000.
The commitments already made
py leading mining corporations will
guarantee development work for the
next 25 years." said L. E. Drum
mond, manager of the Alberta and
North West Chamber of Mines.
And If all the claims up to the
arctic circle are developed it will
take 100 years!"
