SAYS ATLIN CREEKS WILL
PRODUCE FOR MANY YEARS
"Jimmy" Lipscombe .agent for the
White Pass and Yukon at Atlin, says
the season just passed was the boat
known at Atlin for three years and
predicts a continuation of good times.
Ho predicts a larger output if ROld
and thinks the camp will bo a steady
producer for years to come.
"The freight shipments into Atlin
this year were larger than for several
years past," said Mr. Llpscombe,
"and at least 400 tourists from all
parts of the world made the trip. All
of theso people went away enthusiast
ic over the trip with tho exception
of one party. They had eaten some
thing that disagreed with i^em and)
r affected their estimate of the coun
try. Even the mountains didn't look
beautiful to this bunch. The tourists
who saw Atlin will advertise the trip
and I look tor <t constantly Increasing :
tourist traffic. Not only does the |
scenery appeal to them, but they can
tee the mining operations on the
creeks and this Is most interesting to
tourists.
"The output of gold from Atlin this
> ear is much larger than the year be
fore. I expect a still further Increase
next year, for Ruffner and Hamshaw
will operate at a larger extent and
the Guggenheims will be in the field.
The Guggenheims shipped in 150 tons
of machinery this summer to work
their Willow creek property with.
This machinery is not set up, but is
on the ground and operations will be
started early next season. They will
operate a big 70 ton steam shovel.
"Tho individual miners are leaving
the camp as It Is too expensive to
work their holdings, but the big com
panies are doing well and next year
will ??e several new ooncorn* In tho
fiold. Atlin's future looks good to me
for years to come."
