Rampart, from a mining standpoint,
looks bettcM' this spring than it ever did
before. In past years the approach of
the spring thaw has closed down all pro
duction, and with the final washup, the
miner was at liberty until the following
November or December.
All this is now changed; it has been
demonstrated that summer mining can
be successfully carried on at the mouth
of Slate creek, oil Ruby, Florida, Hun
ter, Little Mi nook, and on a large nuin •
her of clainison Big Minook. There is
no doubt a large number of other creeks
where the same can be done, and as this
district is more generally prospected
each succeeding summer will see an in
creased amount of work in this direction.
Circle City in her palmy days, was
supported wholly by the summer work
done on her richest creeks; in fact all
that was done in winter, with but few
except o is, was freighting supplies, get
ting wood, budding dams, ute. all iu pre
paration for three short months work in
summer. This district isinfinately more
favored than Circle ever was; the large
dumps that are taken out in winter, em
ploy all the men available to wash up,
whereon the summer mining operator
im u: Lately eo n lienees his work, which
in view of the short season and twentv
hours daylight, demands men to work
in shifts, day and night, so to speak.
With the increase of su n lier mining
the amount of money in circulation will
increase, as all help can be paid daily,
weekly, or in any way it might be de
sired. While on the other hand all mon
ey in the winter dumps must necessarily
lie Idle until old Sol sheds the rays of
liis benign countenance on tile frocen
creek*, an l thus iut only lo>;ei> Lie
dump, but the p >ke strings of the fortu
nate owner and laymen as well.
With a$500,000 cleanup from winter
diggings, and as much more from sum
mer operations, Rampart will still hold
a id more firmly, that she is the best
mining center on the American Yukon.
