Late advices from the Chlsana

several mouths ago, viz: that the
discovery wan bona fide and the
richuesa of the find, wheu fully de
veloped, would rival the world fum

Fairbanks. Mr. Paul d'Helrry, the
commissioner at Chltlnn. says that

uiucb to do wl'h the disbelief ex
pressed by rn.vjy as to the ge'tulne&t
of the Chlsana gold strike. This
will, however, we believe, retard the
development of 'h camp but a short
this season of the year, that the rush
of stampedeni has been temporarily
checked. Of tho comparatively f?v
