Mr Whitehead says, comes from Dawson. Anvil creek, which has been the greatest producer up to this time, and which gives promise of yield trig- good returns for some time to come, has produced this year about $750 000 "Of the new discoveries since last season." says Mr Whitehead. "Topkaku, located on the beach, 60 miles east of here, easily takes the lead From a space not over 500 feet in length, along the beach to the tundra, tkere was taken out this spring between ?500,000 and $600, 000, ail with rockers ' The latest strike, and one which is at present attracting most atten? tion, is on thc Bluestone river, in the Port Cla;ence mining district, some? i thing less than a hundred miles from Nome The gold run is said to ex- j ceed in richness anything known i heretofore, it being no uncommon thing to get from $10 to ?20 in a single pan. The creek is entirely taken up "A source ot gold which ie attract? ing much attention at the present time is the ancient river along the head of Dexter and Anvil cieeks Some of these deposits are fabulous? ly rich, nothing richer having been found in the Klondike, I am told, than one of the claims along the | Nickkala gulch The extent of these j deposits, however, has uot been j proven and another season will be j necessary to demonstrate their value "My estimate of the production up to this tim?is $1,500.000 with the chance of increasing this production j before the end of the season to $2, j 000,000 " I -mmrnm- -- .
