Tented Town on Yakataga Beach.
A tent town ling sprung up at
Yakataga during the past thirty
days. It has a population of 1.80
jieople, several small stores and
four saloons.
All except a linker’s dozen of
these people went there early this
spring to mine on the beach, which
yielded some gold Inst fajl, and to
engage in trade. Up to March 24
no mining had been done because
of the glacial ice on the bench. Un
til the tides and wind carry this
ice out to sea it will be impossible
to mine with any degree of success.
The fortune hunters are in no wise
discouraged, despite the unexpected
delay. The camp is orderly and
free from sickness and distress.
The ice, with which the beach is
strewn on cither side of Yakataga,
was sloughed off the Malaspina
glacier, whose contribution this
spring has been greater than usual.
