due^ ?25 000,000
Dawson, Y. T? Nov. 29? The latest
Fairbanks arrivals report the output
at the Tanana camp for the coming
year will be the largest in the history
of any northern camp. The Klondike
is not excepted. An output of $15,000,
000 is estimated for Cleary creek nlone
from the beginning of Uve present fall
until the end of next summer's opera
tions. The total output of the Tanana
cauip by the end of next fall is even put
by some at $25,000,000, which is $5,000,
000 belter than the best year the Klon
dike ever knew.
This time last year everyone thought
Tananna would do well if a yield of $3,
000,000 was had by the close of the sea
son of 1905, and the output actually
was $7,000,000.
