Gold Was Mined on Little Eldo
rado, Bonanza and Gold Run
Creeks During 8eason.
According to latest iigures the
output of the Chisana camp dur
ing the past year reached the re
markable total of 974,000. This
is greater than the result of the
first 'Season’s operations in the
Fairbanks district. When it is
considered (hat the stampede to
the new camp did not take place
until near the close of the season
the output exceeds that of many
of the northern camps and indi
cates that big things may be
looked for from' that section as a
rebult of the prospectors’ activi
ties who are wintering there.
The miners have been engaged
in getting into shape for winter
by building cabins and getting up
a supply of wood. Food was
scarce, but the arrival of winter
will cause prices to drop as there
are hundreds of tons of provis
ions at several points within
reaching distance of the diggings.
One trader at Donjak, on the
White river, has 250 tons of gen
eral merchandise. Donjak is dis
tant about . ne hundred and fif
teen miles from the diggings. The
trail from Whitehorse is being
pul into condition b> I lie White
Pass railroad which is making
determined effort to capture the
business of the camp. Men are at
work on the trail over the glacier
from McCarty and it is stated
that supplies can he taken in ov
er that route for Iwonty cents per
pound. Roadhouses are being
built every live miles on the gla
cier and the road will be well
marked to provide' safely for
travelers. The government road
from Valdez will prove popular
with those who have been in the
habit of visiting the interior for
years. They know that it is safe
at all seasons of the year and
that four-horse teams can trans
port heavy loads of freight, ov
er a greater pari of the distance.
Latest arrivals from, the camp
slate that the benches which have
been prospected are everywhere
showing encouraging results, al- J
though no one has as yet reached j
bedrock owing lo the ground be
ing frozen. The bench ground on
Cold Hill is known to carry gold
averaging 35 cetils per yard, ev
en where (here are immense de
posits of it. The gold mined dur
ing Hie past slimmer was taken
