MAYO FUTURE UNCERTAIN
DECLARE LATE ARRIVALS,
The future of the Mayo district I
is very uncertain, there are more >
than enough men for all the jobs in 1
the camp, and the country is lo
cated for miles in every direction,
according to Dennis White and Ed
ward E. Overend, well known old
timers. who have just returned to
N'enana from the silver diggings at
the head of the Stewart river, above
Dawson.
The outlook is anything but • en
couraging. they say, with no new
i prospects showing and operators
skeptical about the permancy of the
ore bodies now being worked. The
work is being carried on under
great difficulties, ‘with wood and
water scarce and the mine work
unhealthy, owing to the poisonous
dust from the ore.
The Guggenheims are working at
: the top of Keno Hill, 18 miles
! from the nearest wood, and 'with
dust laden snow the only source of
water supply. The housing accommo
; dations at the Gugg camp are
to be pool, which, together with the
fact that the big company is not
paying any money on options, has
: created rather an unfavorable senti
; ment. The men get $5.50 and board,
j but they have to lay off occasionally
j on account of lead poisoning.
Livingstone Wemecke is in charge
of the Treadwell camp, some dis
tanc-e down the hill from the Guggs.
and he has made his company very
popular. being about the only out
fit in the district which has circu
lated any money for properties. It
! was announced recently, however.
(that no more cash would be paid
on options. The Treadwells are sink
ing and are in the ore, but it will
I not pay to ship. The shaft is down
• between two and three hundred feet,
i The Guggs are also sinking near
the Wemecke camp, in an effort
to tap the high grade ore body from
which much rich ore has been taken
at the top of the hill. The Guggs
are working about 50 men and the
Treadwells have nearly that many,
some employed in the mining oper
ations and some on the road lead
ing to their camp from the main
highway. The Treadwells are sinking
two shafts, one by hand and the
' other by machinery.
Although a tractor has made a
! trip to the hill from Mayo this sum
I mer. the road is bad and it is out
of the question to haul ore. The out
! put of the Gugg mine at the top of
j the hill is being sacked and will be
j hauled to the landing over the snow
1 next winter.
A man named Palmer operates an
i auto between Mayo and Keno Hill
and charges a fare of $14 for the
j 40-miie trip, with no allowance for
, baggage. Pickerel and Greentree.

man. has a sawmill at Mayo, and
pays $35 a thousand for log?. There
is also a dredge near Mayo, but it
is not in sight of the landing and
nothing was learned regarding its
operations.
There are a number of substan
tial buildings at Mayo, the log store
of the Northern Commercial Com
pany being a mode! structure.
White spent several months in the
Sixtymile country, above Dawson,
before going to Mayo, and reports
that Mattson, an oldtimer of that
region has found good pay on a
bench on the South Fork. The dis
covery was made last fall and the
ground is said to run $2 to the foot.
The two oldtimers made the trip
down river in a small boat, stop
ping along at the various settle
ments to survey conditions. Dawson,
they say. looks like a deserted city,
the mainstay of those remaining in
the old town being the tourist trade
and the little business that drifts in
from the dredge camps nearby. It
is a summer revenue from both
sources and the winters, in conse
quence. are very quiet:
Heavy harvest of muskrats and
other fur in the Fort Yukon^ dis
trict has brought prosperity to the
natives and white trappers in that
section. Dr. Hedger is being kept
busy fixing the teeth of the natives
and they all have the money to pay
for it. Gold teeth are becoming
quite the fad. much to the enrich
ment of the obliging dentist.
The fur is pretty well trapped out
along the upper Yukon, but oldtim
ers anticipate a return of lynx dur
ing the coming winter and are pre
paring accordingly. Moose are fair
ly plentiful in the Mayo district
and caribou are numerous along
