The Sixty Mile stampeders are showing more spirit than the Klon- dike has seen since the golden days on Bonanza and 'Eldorado. The Klondike is no longer a poor man's camp. Hence the excitement over a new discovery that. promises indi- dual riches. Scores who went in the first rush at Christmas time began buying outâ€" fits immediately after recording. These have gone back to the creeks to sink holes. By spring several gundred men will be at work. Num- erous half and quarter interests in Sixty Mile claims have been sold to Dawson people who were unable to join in the rush. Among the stampeders were ahunâ€" dred or more miners from Stewart River camps. They obtained news of the strike through the telegraph operator at Ogilvie. Sixty Mile lies between.

Between forty below and thirty above on the. main stream the striking is well done. Otherwise the staking is poor. and ii gold proves plentiful accurate surveying will soon be necessary." Toni Kirkpatrick. one of the stem- peders. punned gold on the bars of Sixty Mile before the Klondike was struck and found color. Another cluihi owner is Andy llurt. who was in the Glacier Creek country before the Klondike was heard of. John Matson. the discoverer, took two and :1 quarter ounces of gold worth about. $40 from a space five by eight feet on bedrock on discovery claim. "ll the indications found in the fnrmimrs on Mntson'n claim hold out in an area of gravel the creek will aflord a good camp. Tho indications are Very favorable. Within a month thirty to forty more holes will be sunk to bedrock.” Burwnsh traversed the full length of the main stream and went. to the heads of the nine tributaries which were being staked. He said further Matheson’s First Municipal Body lndignation was caused at Dawson by reports that a number of claims on the Sixty Mile were blanketed. lllanketing is construml as pure fraud and ollicors of the Yukon Govern- ment declare that prosecutions will follow.
