TO PROPERLY DEVELOP THE DISTRICT
TO LARGE FOR THE INDIVIDUAL.
SURE OF RICH RETURNS.
Rampait d strict has given a larger
production of gold than any other camp
in the Northern Country without the em
] 1( \ incut of fore gn capital,the existence
of large companies or any of the influen
t, al and effective coml)inations of econo
my and science that is, as a rule, about
the first on the ground and so common
in most mining camps.
The individual has made this district.
For four years he has thrown into cir
culation thousands of dollars, the combin
cd production of a handful of miners com
pared with the immense gold bearing
territory surrounding them.
The men who made the camp are the
ones w ho came in with a grub stake and
worked, prospected, located their claims
and devoted their time to developing
them, themselves, instead of at once ap
pealing tor aid in their development. It
was this that made them the liionev. It
was this independence of the miner, sup
ported by the resources of the district,
that has given Rampart its solid linanc al
basis and tl:e enormous consumption of
miners’ supplies and the thrifty condi
tion your business enterprises present.
Capital is always desirable in a camp
of this nature ana we need it. It cannot
be said of more than one half of the dis
trict that it is workable by the means
common to mining in the north,by sink
ing, drifting and ground slu cing. This
is well for the creek and bench diggings;
but the high bars must have a larger ex
penditure and employ different meth
ods; water must be had on the ground or
the dirt must be conveyed to the creeks
for sluicing.
This will require larger expenditures
than the individual w ould care to or could
stand. The invested capital must come
from a source that wTill not be impaired
by a season’s delay for a return.
PROVISIONS TO HIGH
Tom Antonson, 24 l.m. jr , says
he has just had a letter from Daw
son, which states that everything
in the provision line is 40 per cent
cheaper than Rampart price.1. Tom
says that the present prices on pro
visions if kept up will drive every
man out of the camp, under exist
ing conditions. He declares how
ever that he looks for a great reduc
tion all the line next summer, so as
the extensive deposits of $5 p?r day
diggings, around Rampart, to the
shovel, can be worked out.
