of the Klondike gold rush is once
more, being re-enacted,, with this little
snow-buried hamlet as its latest stage
setting
The rejjorted finding of gold in- the
Red Lake district, in Northern On

hustling center of activity, the gath
ering point of hundreds ,f adventur
ous spirits, lured here by the hope of
plucking a fortune from the earth.
All of the characters and properties
of the “Far North’’ movie thriller are
to be- seen ip real life here today—
the dog team,, the packer, the snow
shoes, theAljibway Italians*, titer beard
ed prospectors, the . ddnce hall, the
hastily,'tonsiru^ted stores*, the log
cabins, shacks anti. t«jnts which house
the new arrivals,,
