(Volney Richmond, superin
| tendent of the Northern Com
mercial Company, in an inter
view with the Dawson News,
made the following statemenl
as to the output this year of
the various Alaskan gold camps:
“Fairbanks will produce about
$3,000,000 this year. Hot
Springs will yield possibly $000
000; Ruby, $750,000 to $1,
000,000; Iditarod, $2,500,000;
Koyokuk, possibly $200,000,
which was the figure of last
year; Innok'o, $150,000 to
$200,000; Marshal City, a few
thousand. Circle, don’t know;
I Rampart, forget it.” The chanc
es are that Mr. Richmond’s
figures regarding Iditarod will
need revising, as the abundant
water supply this summer
promises a yield greater than
early estimates.

GRAVE DANGER THREATENS
A. Kaleel, propie tor of the
Gateway Store was in receipt
of a letter yesterday from an
old friend and schoolmate in
Turkey, his native land. The
letter, which is a long one, goes
into the European War at length
and sees the possibility of a
Holy War being declared by
Turkey as the head of the
Moslem Faith in the world, a
gainst the Allied forces of Eu
rope. The only thing that is
likely to stop this is the fact
that the people of Turkey them
selves do not like the German
government owing to its alti
tude when Italy Was fighting
Turkey in Tripoli prior to the
Balkan War. At that time
Germany assisted Italy, and of
course the Turks have not for
gotten it.

Captain John W. Thompson
ol' the gasoline schooner Trad
er sailed recently from Nome
for Providence bay, on the Si
berian coast, says the Nome In
dustrial Worker. The captain
■arrived at Nome a few days
prior with a boatload of skins,
furs, whalebone, etc., from Si
beria, and is now returning with
supplies and merchandise for
his trading post which he is
conducting at Providence bay.
lie has spent six years at this
trading post, and intakes sever
al trips during the summer to
Nome to dispose of the skins,
etc., which he has accumulated
during the winter, and lay in
his yearly stock of trading
goods. The captain report:
that the trading this year was
largely in sealskins, of which
the number brought in by the
natives was largely in excess
of former years, owing to the
fact, as he says, that last year
the natives secured only one
whale, their main reliance for
food, fuel and money, and
were compelled to hunt the
seial to supply their needs. If
the natives are successful in
catching from six to nine
whales, as is usually the case,
he says they will do no more
work for the winter, having an
abundance of food in the form
of whale meat and tea, sugar,
etc., which they are enabled to
purchase by the sale of whale
bone. There was, the last winter
therefore a larger catch of all
kinds of furbearing Animal*
than for many years.
