The finding of gold in a new
localityy on the upper Xcnaim
gives encouragement to the
belief that Xenana, at no dis
tant date, will he called upon
to supply the needs of a min
ing district of large propov
tions, directly tributary to the
town. The discovery of gold
on the Moody tributary, of
which a report was received
during tho week, is not an is
olated find, although it is tin*
first gold uncovered on that
particular stream. Several of
the many creeks back of Xe
nana are producing a little
gold every season—sufficient
to demonstrate the fact that

the district is highly mineral
ized—and further prospecting
it is reasonable to believe,
will disclose tin* presence of
more and perhaps much rich
er paystreaks. On less show
ing, other districts have been
overrun by stampeders.
The development of this
district undoubtedly has been
retarded in the past largely
by the fact that the country
has been almost inaccessable.
I Only exceptionally good pay
'would have warranted opening
a claim, for the cost of put
ting supplies and machinery
on the ground would have
formed an overwhelming part
of the operating
Another drawback to tin* dis
trict has been, and still is,
jtin* fact that comparatively lit
i tie prospecting can lie done
iduring tin* winter months ow
ing to the number of glacier
ed streams. The district is
not nearly so isolated now,
however, and by the time ma
chinery and other supplies
arc needed in quantity, there
will be a railroad near at
hand to deliver them. The
cost of prospecting already
has been very materially re
duced by the work done along
tin* right of way and quite a
number oldtimers have tak
en advantage of tin* opportun
ity thus afforded them to
spend the summer in a region
of such unusual promise.
Their success will be Xenana,s
gain.
