It i* estimated that the total output
' of the placer camps of Yukon Territory
1 and Ala-ka for the year 1919 will be
$5,250,000. To this may be added an
other half million if the districts of
Atlin, B. C., and Nome are included,
each of these sections being given cred
it for a quarter million. Aor.ther half
million may be added by other scatter
ed camps throughout the north, so it is
possible that the aggregate will reach
$6,220,000.
All northern camps are led by the
I Klondike, with Dawson as the center,
■ its production being placed at two mill
| ions; second place is taken by the Tan
j ana valley, as Fairbanks, Tolvana and
