Arctic watershed," he continued, "is
uiuoh the same ai found on this sfde,
only iho Indications for gold are better.
John Hoyles and others made a strike
on the divide and toclc out considerable
gold. But by the time a man gets into
the country ho has only enough sup
plies to return, and haruly dares to take
chances of living several months a year
on what game he can kill. Therefore
it Is not possible to prospect the ground
under present conditions.
"You can mark my words, however,
the time will come when the district
will be made to yield lots of gold. There
are vast stretches of ground where a
white man has never stuck a pick." ?
