Hundreds of Claims Staked on
Creeks Only Ten Miles From
Town—Good Pay.
The Whitehorse Star of Octo-~
her 17th tells of a stampede
which took place from that town
during the week and resulted in
the staking of a number of creeks
in the vicinity of Dugdale lake,
ten miles south of town. The dis
covery was made by George M.
Stevens, who kept the news of his
find a secret until his friends
were able to get in on the ground.
The first discovery was made
on Wolf creek, which empties in
to Dugdale lake, and two other
discoveries were made on dry
creeks, which are believed to be
ancient river beds. The surface
indications are said to be very
promising and have yielded pans
as high as six cents. Nearly one
hundred claims ivere staked dur
ing the first few days, and sev
eral miners are already at work
developing their ground.
From the small amount of
work done the stampede appears
to be justified. Experienced min
ers who have panned where dis
covery was ade an Wolf creek,
state that the dirt will wash an
ounce per day to the man shov
eling into sluice boxes and they
believe it will be rich on bedrock.
From $8.00 to $12.00 per day is]
the estimation placed on the ol ti
er two creeks—which are not
creeks, only dry creeks beds.
Wolf creek is the stream which
empties into Dugdale lake a short
distance south of the 101 -mile
post on the railroad. It rises on
the south side of Golden Horn I
mountain and flows for several
miles through forest before
reaching the railroad, milder
which it runs just before enter
ing into the lake. The proxini- :
ity of the creeks staked to trans- j
portation and the markets of
Whitehorse will make them val
uable if they are found to carry
sufficient gold to warrant their
being worked by dredge or hy
draulic methods.
