years na has wonted, In every ca

ooaitions, and' has made an exhaust
ive study, of the conditions from ev
ery conceivable angle.
Wnen the Canadian Klondike
Gvld .Mining company weut into
the hands of a receiver, Joseph, Jr..
was retained Dy the receiver as
operating manager, and Bince that
tiroe efforts ifave been mad<e to form
a merger of three of the largest
companies operating in the district.
I* is for the purpose of consum
mating the plan, of merging these
companies that Mr. Boyle is now
going to London, where be will
conault with Ws father, J. W. Boyle,
Sr., who was the original organizer
of the Canadian Klondike Gold Min
ing company, organized to operate
th» nroperty which ha? been known
VV~en Questioned by a representa
tive of the Daily Alaskan yester
day os to the futurei outlpok in the
Yukon from a mining standpoint,
J(»e Boyle, Jr., who has been asso
ciated with the Canadian Klondike
Gold Mining company for a num
ber of years stated that it was
jiroblematicai as to whether Or not
the • would be very much doing in
the Dawson district during the com
ing season by the companies with
which he has been connected.
While "Joe, Jr.," he Is ex"
tonsively known throughout the
Dev,son district, went into the
mining game while a young man,
shortly after he received* his de
grf>-> of mining engineer at ona of
the largest schools of mines, he
has had a wonderful schooling in
the practical work of dredge min
ing, this being the first time that
he ha* &een outside for more than
five years. During the past five
as the "Boyle concessions."
Mi. Boyle, Jr., stated that if the
merger was effected it would jm
mediately cause a stimulus in t!<e
Klondike mining region, and it
would mean that many years of l>!g
ouet&tious would be the result.
"Th© virgin ground known to
Crry gold values in a larger or
smalled proportion is immense,"
said Air. Boyle. "It would take a
number of years to work this
ground out. Some of this ground
is known as "frozen" ground which
I will require expensive plants to
(operate," he continued, "but there
is much ground known to carry
'goo - valueg which could be opened
an at once with the available dredig
■ es and machinery now in th® dis
trict."
la speaking of this season's op
erations, Mr. Boyle stated that
Dredge No. 4, working for his com
pany is still at work and will con
tinue until time during the
month of February. He says that
this winter has been, particular
ly favorable for winter work.
He expressed himself as being
much impressed' with the possibili
ties cf the quartz mines of the
S'ewart river and said that a new
comoany has been formed in Daw
son for the purpose of developing
some of the more likely looking pro
parties there.
While not altogether optimistic as
to the present possibilities, Mr. j
Boyle expressed confidence in a
grcr.t future still being in store
for the Klondike and that when all
litigation bag Deen settled they will
got -?'own to real mining again, and
that the gold output will oncg more
assume the large proportions that
hag already been taken from the
Dawgoa district which has made thft
camp famous as a gold producer
throughout the world.
