WORLD RICHER
BY $5,500,000
Five million five hundred thousand
dollars ? such will be the total yield c|
placer gold to be shipped to the outer
world this year from Dawson. This
gold will come from the camps with
in seventy-live to a hundred miles of
this place.
These figures have been estimated
after careful inquiry of the banks, the
government royalty collector and
others in touch with the gold traffic.
The estimate for the Canadian Klon
dike yield proper Is $5,000,000, but thq
gold from the American side of the
Forty mile camp, which centers here b
virtue of being right at the very door
of Dawson, in all likelihood will swell
the total to $5,500,000.
ANOTHER MOTHER LODE IS FOUND

were placed on record on Sept. Sth
in l". S. Commissioner Conway s of
fice, the names of those locating the j
claims being S. J. Weitxman. Tim j
Creedon and Peter Duncan.
The new strike is located three ,
miles above the fails on McKinley
creek, and those Interested are mak
ing the vlaim that from the richness
of the ore taken out, they have at
last found the mother lode of the Ca
hoon and Prcuplne placers.
That such a lode existed has been
a theory held by the oldest miners of
that vicinity ever sincegoldwas first
discovered in that district, and it is
now firnUy believed that this new
sroup of claims will demonstrate that
theVr theory is correct.

SEATTLE. Sept. 12? Shortly after
eight o'clock Sunday night, while
steaming south la the Gulf gf Alas
ka, the wireless operator on the SS.
Northwestern picked up the distress
signal "C. Q. 1).," and was in formed
that the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company's SS. Kamona had run onto
one of the Spanish Islands off Point
Decision while in a dense fog, and
with the seas breaking over .her, was
rapidly sinking.
Before an answer could be, gotten
to the doomed vessel from the North
western, that aid was on the way,
the wireless apparatus on the gamorq
was evidently put out of commission.
Under full speed the Northwestern
started for the place from where the
call came, and for the balance of the
day Monday, the ship kept its course
towards the point of the chart which
was indicated in the last message
sent by the wireless.
Late last night, one of the boats
| of the Kamona was sighted and when
picked up was found to contain the
passengers and part of the crew of
the ill-fated steamer. Shortly after,
the other boats with the remainder of
! the crew were pickd up. and It was
then learned that the Ramona was a
| total wreck, and that when last seen
I nothing but her masts and smoke
stack were out of water.
Captain Martin Taafe was in com
I mand of the Ramcna. and "Dick"
i .(ones was purser.
The Ramona left Skagway ??ith
Itound at 9 o'clock on Friday evening
and was to have called In at several
I of the canneries for fish.

L. L. Willoughby for Prince Rupert,
