put of the Yukon district this year

'?ye according to It. I). MacFarlane,
inspector of public works, with head
quarters at Dawson. The finds were
made hist fall, too late in the season
to carry on any extensive work. They,
are located on tributaries of the Stew
art river.
.Miles of ground have been located
t>y pioneer prospectors who have
made and lost fortunes since the;
tjarly days of Klondike discoveries.

i.rt river forty miles above its conflu

The yellow inetal is expected to be '
extracted- in abundance as the little
developement already done was of'
tne most encouraging character.
Miners secured an high as $2.50 to
Clio pan.
Bettor results, however, are expect
ed from the Mayo river, a branch of
the upper Stewart. The richest dig
ging where the surface has been
scarcely scratched are located on Hag
gart creek, which empties into the
Mayo river. Here the gold Is coarser
than on its new rival, and prospect
ing gave results up to $3. 50 per pan.
In order to provide facilities for
reaching this new camp, twenty four
miles of wagon road will be built by
the Yukon government this summer.
The territorial government keeps in
close touch with the prospector by
building new trails and wagon roads
r.o every camp which promises to be
a permanent one. The Yukon now
has 1,600 intles of wagon roads, in
cluding 500 miles of substantially
built highways. ? Dawson News.
