ELDORADO CITY
IS THE MECCA
The big trek to Eldorado City con
tinues in the wake of the stories of
the rich finds that have been made
there this spring and there Is every
| probablll'y that a thriving city will
have grown into teeming life before
the autumn leaves turn 'o gold.
All sorts of enterprises are on 'heir
way thither for establishment. Pro
fessional men are turning their at
tention that way, business houses
aie opening there, bartenders are pol
ishing bars in many now saloons, and
the inevitable camp-follower on the
trail of the argonaut, the woman of
the half-world, has taken up her resi
elf ncc.
Such is the growth of the mush
room city that springs in the gold
fields and such it will always be. If
the stuff men set their hearts upon is
there, the community must thrive and
prosper, if the hopes die in the
groum' the hangers-on are the first
to qu t and soon the busy streets
are cc d and silent with the worst of
all desc'atlon.
But the signs of the times on
Little Eldorado would seem to war
rant the faith of the inhabitants of
Eldorado City, They have opened up
a paystreak on the lower end of that
stream that will take them many
moons to work out, and from all in
dications there is more to be dis
covered. ? Fairbanks News-Miner.
