k ' ARRIVAL AT DAWSON TELLS
OF HAPPENINGS AT MAYC
j George Fulton, -who arrived ir
Dawson recently from Mayo, re
ports that the Treadwell Yukon
Company struck a spot on its pro
perty. at the fifty-foot level, tha!
showed values running 1600 ounces
to the ton in silver. He also con
firms the news of the good ore
struck on the Gambler claim, where
Bert Lamb is working, and he tells
of the new hospital and the pa
tients receiving treatment there.
“Things are looking brighter all
• the time in the camp”, he told the
News. Apart from the big body
jof high grade ore struck by the
jWemecke people, they hit a spot
that ran 16.000 ounces to the ton
in silver. This may sound incredible
but it is a fact. Of course, it was
only a spot. But it goes to show
what an astounding future may be
| in store for the district.
“On the Gambler claim Bert
Lamb has values running 107, 300
‘and 1.100 ounces to the ton. The
-tunnel 'had sloughed in on them and
they are now working from a shaft.
This claim looks the best on the
| hill next to the properties of the
^' two companies.

MEARS SAYS MANY TOURISTS
WILL COME NORTH IN 1923
According to a statement credited
j to Colonel Means in a dispatch from
Washington to the Seattle Times,
there will be the largest flood of
tourist travel to Alaska during the
; coming summer in the history of
the Territory.
Completion of the government
railway President Harding’s intend
ed visit to Alaska and the prosper
ous condition of the country are
assumed by the Anchorage Times
; to be the reason. Whatever the
, causes the offices of the Alaskan
Engineering commission in Seattle
are flooded with inquiries from
prospective tourists. Several large
excursion parties to the territory
from the Atlantic coast are propos
ed. Colonel Mears is of the opinion
that the steamship lines will be tax
' ed to the utmost to take care of
the crowds. Fears are expressed
that the hotel accommodations
, might be inadequate to handle the
expected influx.
