owing in part to the diffi culty of getting food in and to the scarcity of men The attraction to wards Bonanza Creek where such rich discoveries were made was also a fac tor towards the undeveloped condition of other fields but as the population increases these fields will be opened up and from information brought into tho Klondiko these fields says the inspec tor will be not less than to square miles in extent Bonanza Creek says Inspector Strickland was discovered by accident Prospectors had been over the ground and had re ported it as no good but day on tho day of August last a squaw man that is a man married to an In dian squaw named Si wash George or George a lumberman was camping in district and after eat ing his dinner ho took his frying pan and filling it with dirt which had been thawed by tho fire he had built to cook his dinner with went down to the creek whore he washed it out To his surprise he found several nuggets of gold at the bottom of his pan More washings were made with the same result He at once staked but a claim for discovery When he reported his claim at Forty Mile very few would believe him as his veracity says the inspector was not in high repute but thought of the gold nuggets was conclu sive evidence and the stampede to the Klondike began On being asked if the wonderful re ports of big finds which have appeared wore really correct the inspector re plied that it would almost be impos sible to exaggerate and he gave an in stance where he himself had actually seen pan yield The pan was an ordinary mining pan and represent ed only two longhandled shovolsful of dirt According to Inspector Strick land the Yukon goldmining district is what is called a winter mining country that is the fall and winter seasons are best time for mining operations This he explained by say ing that all the dirt had to be thawed out and thy way it is done is this After gold is discovered they cut down a quantity of timber which generally abounds in close proximity scrub poplar and birch and then they burn a hole or rather two holes about six feet long by four feet wide putting two fires in each hole during the day Each of these fires will probably burn out about eight inches of dirt The water that has been thawed is first bucketed out and then the dirt is taken out and put on the bank of the creek This process is continued until bed rock is reached In the two months of summer when This affords and opportunity of securing a good article at a greatly reduced price Hanger Free with every order A supply of Coat Hangers always oil
