NANSEN GREEK
IS PROMISING
Qovernment Official Says Great
Possibilities for Both Placer
and Quartz
II. <1. Dickson, deputy land sur
veyor of (he Yukon, says that he
regards the Nansen creek discov
ery as being |he beginning of the
opening up of thai large and
promising country lying between
Nesting river and the Yukon. It
is a district of immense possi
bilities. both in placer and quartz.
As <1 placer proposition, it is in
a class with the Dawson coun
try, being frozen ground, work
able in winter, and being pre
eminently a poor man's or indi
vidual miner's camp.
"The quantity of gold to be
mined is yet to be proven, but
from the gold taken out this
spring in four or five different
localities, where operations were
•stopped by water, the prospects
for the coining winter look very
bright. The camp appears to be
awakening considerable interest
in the Dawson district, and I am
of the opinion that at least two
liundred men will be working there
this winter.
"Although the creeks on which
good prospect!? were lately
found are pretty well all located,
there are oilier creeks headed i"
the,same range which have sliil
lots of open ground. We ran
baselines on Nanscn and Victoria
creeks and on llfleen tributaries.
The trail in from earmark* is
about 4ft miles long, nearly half
1 of which was transformed this
summer by the government road
gang into a very creditable wagon
road. An appropriation next sea
son will probably put a good road
right into the creeks."
