YUKON UAL
FOR COINAGE
DAWSON. Dec. 21 ? An Ottawa spe
cial to the Dawson News says the Ca
nadlan government has purchased 50,
000 ounces of Yukon gold. This has
Just been received from the Klondike
by Joe Boyle to be used in coining
the first Canadian gold pieces for
Canada at the new mint. Minister
Fielding is arranging the details of
the purchase of gold. It Is expected
that most of it will come from the
Yukon.
F. T. Congdon, member of parlia
ment for Yukon, who Is working at
Ottawa for an assay and gold-purch
asing office for Dawson, hopes to di
vert Yukon's output, now several mil
lions yearly, and rapidly increasing
under the big dredge hydraulic com
panies, to the Canadian mint at Ot
tawa from the Seattle assay office
and American mints.
The opinion is entertained at Ot
tawa and Dawson that a Canadian
purchasing office at Dawson might
get a great deal of American gold
from the Alaskan cainps at Forty
Mile, Eagle, Circle and Fairbanks.
Ten to fifteen millions of Alaskan
gold passes through Dawson for Se
attle annually. A government pur
chasing office here would mean takin
much if not all the gold bartering
from the banks, which do almost all
the business here at present.
