Advices from Dawson state that
the gold yield of the placer camps
vf the Yukon valley for the year
1920, It is estimated by competent
authorities, will total $4,485,000.
Six weeks more will wind up the
1 ‘ '•* '/,• • t
season before the freeze-up. Vol
ney Richmond, superintendent of
the Northern Commercial Company,
which has posts throughout the
north, has returned to Dawson after
a tour of 3,000 miles visiting posts
in all the interior of .Alaska and
estimates that camps in that region
for the season will yield $2,985,000.
Geo. J.Jeckell, royalty collector
at Dawson for the Canadian Yukon
estimates the season’s yield for this
territory, which nearly all comes
from the immediate vicinity of Daw
son, will total $1,500,000. Practical
ly every camp in the north suffered
a heavy decline in output this sea
son. One reason is, it has been the
driest season in the history of the
north, thus largely curtailing hy
draulic operations. Other reasons
for the curtailment include the
heavy cost of supplies and mater
ials which practically are twice
what they were in normal times,
wail? goia remains at a nxea val
ue, thup reducing its purchasing
power one-half.
Yields by camps in the interior
of Alaska and the Yukon this sea
son, as estimated by Richmond and
Jeckell, are summarized as follows:
Dawson, $1,500,000; Fairbanks,
$750,000; Tolovana. $750,000; Idita
r»d.$500,000; Tacotna and Ophir
$500,000; Hotsprings, $100,000; Ruby
$100,000; Koyukuk, $75,000; Circle,
$70,000; Marshall, $50,000; Forty
Mile, $50,000: Rampart, $20,000;
Chandler, $20,000; total, $4,485,000.
The Dawson News editorially says
the sharp decline in the yield
throughout the north shows em
phatically that if the Northland’#
gold shrinkage is to be arrested, the
purchasing power of gold must be
restored by bonus or otherwise, as
the miners cannot afford to work at
a low grade of alluvial gravel for
metal having only one-half its nor
mal value.
