Dawson, Y. T.( July 6. — Volney
Richmond, superintendent of tie N.
C. posfs and mall routes In the
North, who arrived' herr© from the
lower Yukon on the steamer Tana
na, gives an Interesting reyleiw of
the orospective gold yield of various
placer camps of the Yukon valley
this year. He says:
"According to the best advicea ob
tainable thus far, the gold yield for
the yoar of 1917 in the Tanana val
ley, Including fhe Toloyiuia, Hot
Springs and Fairbanks districts
should aggregate approximately $3,
000,000. |
"The Ruby district, I estimate,
will uroduco something like $S0j),00
"Th0 Koyukuk yield will be $175,
000 •<> $.200,000. |
Tie l-di tarcxl camp will take out
$1,500,000 or thereabouts. |
$500,000 from Murshall
"The Marshall camp, near the
mouth of the Yukon, will produce
perhaps $ 500,000. This is'exception
ally good for that place, especially
since there are buf four producing
claims in the camp to date. Th«
.Marshall diggings are shallow, jbut
heavy boulders are numerous and
they are covered largely with a
sticky gumbo, wnich greatly In
creases the difficulty of removing
the gold. The chief owners at Mar
shall include Albert Edwards and
Chrfs Batch. Frank Waskey, who
was the second delegate to congress
from Alaska, is working extensive
ly there on a lay. Capt. Newcomb,
formerly on the Yukoa river packet
is prospecting. One of his sons
was with him during the winter, baS
is back on the Schwatka during the
summer. The Marshall camp has
| about 500. people. J'
War Affects Work
"The Rampar', Circle and other
such eld camus will produce com
paratively little fnis year.
"Low grade properties in various
Dlaoer camps, it seems, will not be
worked much untjl after the war
and return of lower costs of mater
ial. High costs put low grade
ground beyond reaoh. In the Pair
banks camps the labor supply has
be oil absorbed largely by the Amer
ican government railway work fifty
miles farther down the river, at
Nenaua. The railway pay is sure,
and the men have gone there In
large numbers. f
"High costs or material in the
Yukon valley may yet affect a good
many workers in low grade pay. The
exact average advances in prices can
not be determined, but I should not
bo surprised if it ranged anywhere
from 25 to 50 per oent. We do not
like to see the prices outside go
irg up, but are powerless. The
increased costs of feed will be hard
on those handling etock in. the
Xorth." [

The "Real" Fourth, of July was]
celebrated lu Skagway yesterday; In
a gafe ftnd sane manner, and al-1
though tjie weather yas raw and [
Inclined to be drlzzlly, still tliq i
people enjoyed themselves to the
extreme. > , »
Wi^lijthe exception of getting off
the scheduled time once in. a while,
the program as planned wag follow
ed closely.
The SouthrBnders won from the
Norti-tondcrB by a score of 25 to
19 in the boya' basball game, but at
the end of the 7th inning, it was
anybody's game, as the score stood j
tied at 18, aud had the boys from |
up the valley kept their heads and!
played as they did in the 6 th and
7itb, they might have carted home
the bacon.
Mulvihill, piclher for the Tide
Flattesra, , settled down, to work in.
the UVst two Innings and. held the
North-finders down to on© run.
Wheeler and Flynn played'a good
battery throughout, and from tlie
bleachers, the game put up by both
teams was of a high class, and
showed that It,would not be many
y*»are, before Skagway would have a
team of all home production which
would defend its right to the dia
monds against all comers.
The lineup of the teaiuj was as
follows:
North-finders—Wheeler, p.; Flynri
c.; 0. Selmer, lb.; Collison, 2b.;
Britt, 3b.; C. Matthejvs, 'rf.; V.
Selmer, If. J!
South-finders — Mulvihill, p.; F.
Blanchard, c.; J. Conway, lb.; G.
Fickhardt, 2b.; Jim Miller, 3b.; M.
Con,way, rf.; Boss, If.
Tho parade was a pleading event,
and the little'Goddess of Liberty,
Miss Lois McKay surrounded by
charming' maidens representing the
states of the union, arranged on
a specially constructed float lead
the oageant. Closely following weri
a number of automobile^ decorated
With bunting and flags, which car
ried Skagway's little lassies ' over
the designated line of parade, and
thence to the Elks Hall, where a
program 0f patriotic events wa» ren
dered. |! ■ ;
Immediately af'er tho patriotic ex
ercises th© program of sports fol
lowed, and all *ue kiddies in town,
and most of the grown ups enjoy
ed the next few houru in field
floorts, the kiddies furnishing the
entertainment for tjieir elders.
The gTand ball in the evening at
Elks ball completed the 'day's fes
tivities, ajid when the last strains
o£(the orchestra had diied away in
ih^ '"Home Sweet Home" waltz, it
was everywhere evidenced by ex
presbions of content that the day
had' been one of e*treme joy.
Dr. L. S. Keller resumed 011 the
Steamship Alaska from a short busi
ness trip to Juneau, and while
there he took up the matter'of roads
In the Skagway valley with Colonel
Richardson and. Major Davidsom of
the Alaska Road Commission. i
A communication froim Lieut. Ma
haffev had just been, received by
Major .Davidson iu which the re
Quest fox the suspension foot bridge
acrroau the Skagway river and the
loads up tho valley were mentioned,
and when Dr. Keller mentioned the.se
matters, Major Davidson stated that
£ol. Richardson, before his depart
ure for the west had approved an
aippropriation. for the foot bridge
and had also signified his intenton
of havng some work done on the
roads up the valley this summer.
From what he could lo^rn, Dr.
Keller said to a representative of
this paper, that it is hardly prob
able that the work on the road to
Liaifcvllle would be continued) this
season, one of the principle rea
sons t being the scarcity of labor.
"It is almost an assured fact that
the road from Denver Station om
the White Pass to a point well uip
towards the glacier will be built thia
season, as I took the matter up!
with the Territorial Road commissiol
and from the renort which Mr. Hurk
burt had made after his inspection
of the ground while he wag here,
will have weight- with the commis
sion.
"The fact that Skagway needs
roads to , enable the people to get
out wcod was alone a good argumen
tod this was, considered by the com
mission. It wag thought that sev

"As to the foot bridge across the
river, Major Davidson stated that
were it not for the fact that his
engineer had Just left for the we*t,
where he would be for the next two
weeks, he would bave sent him to
Bkagway to make a survey of th
route desired, and draw the necess

return to Juneau and if possible, on
his way back, he would stop off at
Sk^gway and do thiq work. The
work of building the bridge would
commence as soon as possible."
In speaking of Juneau in general,
Dr. Keller said that conditions were
bright therg and indications good
lor a good season.
It was intima'ed that Skagway
might bo called upon to contribute
a portion of the money necessary
for the construction of th© bridge,
and as the Alpine clul> 'has already

should easily be _raised for
