outlook. Fairbanks will he a good
placer camp for the next three years,
and from the showings made iu the
quartz properties. I am led to believe
that it will develop into a permanent
quartx mining camp. It is the best
town 1 .have been in in Alaska, from
| a business point of view.
' The Fairbanks district will ship
about M.OfoO.OOO worth of gold this

"I think that Skagway is the best
townsite 1 have been in, and the cli
mate. and the accessibility, with
the railroad terminal, should be a
good town. What you want Is to
*iud a good mine, and from what 1
ran learn. It is only a question of
time until you will have a mint that
will pay to operate.
Mr. Uoodhart, accompanied by his
wife and little son "Dick" will re
