Seattle, Dec. 17.—When a ship
ment of $307,000 in gold came into
the local assay office from the Idit
arod region, Seattle was finally per
suaded that the great northland has
a new camp which will prove as great
as Fairbanks in the next few years.
The new Iditarod region is being
developed along permanent and bus
iness-like lines, and with new discov
eries being made monthly, the pro
duction of gold in the new camp will
be at least five millions next year,
according to conservative estimates
by returning Alaskans. The North
west may well rejoice over the pros
perity of Alaska, which is one of our
best and richest markets.
