ARE RENEWED
DAWSON. .Sept. 20 ? Dawson has
made a splendid showing this season
in renewal of mining claims. In placer
claims alone 750 have been renewed
thus far this month, which probably
means the total will exceed a thous
and by the end of the month.
During August the total number re
newed was 800, and July 1,000. Other
months of the year run into hundreds,
showing that there is no little work
in the renewal department, and carry
ing the greater significance that the
Dawson district has thousands of
placer claims which are being kept
alive by working every year.
The renewal fee for each claim Is
$10 which means no little revenue to
the government from renewal sources.
The quartz activity also continues
in all sources, and many claims are
being renewed each month, while not
a few applications are being filed for
crown grants.
