We published an extract a few
days ago from the Dawson News
ia reference to the O'Doni.ell river,
in the Atlin district, in which that
paper stated that everal Dawson
men had turned back when on their
way to that section upon hearing
that the ground on the O'Donnell

we learn that the government does
not grant placer mining concession
