Rerorrs say that placer mining in the Klondike is no longer available for those who have notclready obtained claims. But according to Harper’s Weekly, which is evidently well informed, there is abun- dance of opportunity for the capitalist who can bring in the aid of machinery. Har- per’s Weekly states that as soon as creeks to be stampeded began to run out, atten- (ion was turned to quartz, and there have been some astounding results. It is shown beyond adoubt that as there is gold in some quantity in almost every creek, so is the whole country underlaid with veins and ledges of quartz. Whenthe snow goes off, greater results will follow. Ifthe gold in the piacer has come out of quartz near at hand, as everything points, then, afier the placer is worked out, we may ex- pect to see quartz.mines on a scale corres- pondingly larger. The evidence that the gold is not from one, perhaps distant, source, brought thither by glacier or river, is that the gold in creeks adjacent is dissimilar and easily distinguishable. El! Dorado gold is paler, besng more siiver,than Bonanza gold. Huuker is purest of all.’ The gold ha? come from the disintegrating of the quartz in the immediate vicinity. There is one curious thing: the “ bench ” claims, on the side of the hill above the creek claims are paying sometimes more than the creek, This is especially so about the Skookums, just below E! Dorado. The largest nuggets, one of $455, found last winter, came from a bench on Skookum ; another, of $262, came from a bench on E! Dorado. In consequence of these finds, the whole side of the creek, from the low~ er numbers of E! Dorado down to Little Skookum, has been staked out to the fourth tier, lioles have been sunk to bed- rock, and the most sensational discoveries have been made. The singular thing is that even though abutting on Boaanza, they bear El Dorado gold, showing that atone time the old bed of El Dorado ran across these benches. In further corro- boration of this belief, it has been obzerved ou Bonanza that ledge crops out every few Claims on the creek. The claims at the crossing of the ledge are barren, but just below is the gold, coarse gold, and the farther down one goes the finer and more scattered the gold, until it peters out. Below the next ledge the same is repeated At the present time, below the ledge scores of menare piling the dirt into large dumps. As one goes down, the dumps grow smaller and there is less work being done, while at the end the men have thrown up their lays, leaving the wiud- lasses aad dumps. The streams here, continues Harper’s Weekly, are not what are called bed-rock streams—thatis, the water does not run over a rocky bed—but under the present streams is adeposit of decayed vegetable mould or peat, called muck. This muck is often Of great depth—in one place in a part of Bonanza, forty eight feet. Under this is gravel, then the bed-rock. The gold lies in this gravel, and not only on, but im the bed-rock. For bed ‘rock, in miners’ parlance, does not necessarily mean hard rock, but anything that will catch and bold the particles of gold as the water carries it down. The hole which is sunk is usually about three by five feet. Each fire burns down about a foot, an] is usually started at night. By morning the holeis clear of smoke, the earth is softened and ean be lifted out. When the hole has been sunk ten feet, oras deep asaman can shovel, a windlass is set up, and the dirt is hoisted out ina square board bucket and lifted upon the dump. Every little while, after gravel is reached, a panful is taken to the cabin and washed out, and by this it is known when “pay” is reached. Where the creek bed is wide, or where there bas been much sliding in, several holes will often have to be sunk in a line across the creek from rim to rim, and there connected by drifting, before the pay, which lies in the old bed of the stream, is found. It will thus beseen that much, both of actuay work and “dead work,” is consumed mak- ing any prospect of a claim. When one stands on the Dome and sees the miles of creeks all staked to their sonrces, likewise \ every pup, he realizes the years that will elapse” before what is in every claim can be known. The main work of the district is being done on El Dorado, which, as far as the forties, or four miles up, is rich beyond the power of imagination to conceive. Yet there are total blanks on El Dorado. On Hunk:r there is a blank between two of the rich- est claimson the creek. The gold has slipped over, apparently, Bonanza is 8p Ot~ ted from top to bottom, yet the the total amount that will be taken out will be large, aod there are some very rich claims, Hunker will also turn out a large quantity of gold. Next tothis comes Dominion, a creek of great promise, while it is impos« sible to say in what order the others come. ‘| They all show promise, but bardly wore can be said, for the amount of work done Oo them is insignificant. —e ae NOTES AND COMMENTS. — Le Soleil, the Quebre Liberal organ, quotes Sir Wilfrid Laurier as speaking of the plebiscite vote as the intermeut of prohibition in Canada; and the Montreal Gazette remarks that the prohibitionists whom the Laurier policy fooled into the exeriions of the late campaign will wonder how piliog up a majority for their idea meant making | agrave ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

Perfectly Cured Weak and Low Spirited — Nervous Prostration—Appetite Poor and Could Not Rest. ‘‘T take great pleasure in recommending Hood’s Sarsaparilla to others. It has been the means of restoring my wife to good health. She was stricken down with an attack of nervous prostration. She suf- fered with headaches and her nerves were under severe strain. She became very low spirited and so weak she could only do a little work without resting. Her appetite was poor, and being so weak she could not get the proper rest at night. She decided to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla, as we had heard it highly praised, and I am giad to state that Hood’s Sarsaparilla has perfectly cured all her ailments.” G.
