In the year 18% and before the ? Klondike discovery startled the world, the Grand Lodge followed the stain- ? pede from Fortymile to Circle City, ? Alaska. Then came the rush back up the river to Dawsou in the fall of and the Dowson lodge was start ed. It was here that the Pioneers purchased property and built their hall. In 1898 the convention of the Yukon Order of Pioneers was held at Dawson and the Grand Lodge, books, banner and funds were permanently located here. We have many members here now who attendedthat convention and they state, that so many of the delegates from Circle City hud in the mean time affiliated with the Dawson lodge that they themselves voted to move the Grand Lodge to Dawson and at Dawson it has remained ever since 1 that conventiin. Your statement that the original books were carried to the golden sands of Seward Peninsula is not so; some of the books of Rampart Lodge we have reason to believe got car ried to Nome. 1 am enclosing to you a copy of the first minute of the order, taken from the books that are the original ones, and in which we have the signatures of every man who helped in this or | ganization. ! The only defect that I cnn see in | these minutes, is that the secretary,! Frank Bowker, overlooked recording: that he was duly elected permanent I secretary. We have also been invited to join the Pioneers of Alaska, but our pride in being the first pioneers in the val ley of the Yukon with such trail blaz ers for charter members as Jack (L. N.) McQtiesten, Frank W. Hart. Ar thur Harper. Rudolph Newman and A1 ' Mavo makes any possibility entirely out of the question. We embrace the whole watershed of the Yukon river, we are the last of the pioneers on this continent; be yond the Occident and the Orient meets: Permit me to be, F. W. CLEMENTS, Grand Secretary.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF CIRCLE QUARTZ STRIKE A four-inch 9treak of pay has been found on the Homestake property on Wolf creek that yields gold at the rate of $1 a pound or $2,000 a ton, ac cording to Thomas J. Rockwell, pro propritor of the Igloo at Cleary City. Mr. Rockwell is in the city on busi ness. In speaking of the develop ments at the Homestake property, Mr. Rockwell stated that the find was en countered in the cross-cut tunnel be ing driven by Balzimer and associates on the stringer encountered 315 feet from the mouth of the main tunnel. The ore is literally speckled with coarse gold and yields liberally in bucking-hoard tests. Numerous tests have been made by Balzimer of the ore taken from the four-inch streak in the vein and all have averaged about $1 a pound. The ledge has a width of about 12 inches. Eight inches will run in the neighborhood of $40 to the ton, it is reported. The work of development is being hastened on the ledge. An j other shipment is to be made to a cus tom mill within a short time. The last shipment averaged $77 to the ton. ?Fairbanks Times.

Maulton, manager of the Placer Gold Mining company, operat ing on Ruby Creek, is in the city with | a number of men on his way to in crease the working force on their property for the coming season. For the past few seasons this property along with several others in the Atlin has been hampered by a shortage of I water for hydraulicking, but with the heavy snows of this winter it is be lieved there will be plenty of water, in which case the output of the dis trict promises to break all records.?

IOW SILVER CREEK i CAME TO BE STAKED Thai there is 110 big bLuuipude to le new diggings in the Teslln lake auntry, discovered by Skookum Jiui; rnt there is at present nothing to jus fy one, and that the value of the ew field from a commercial stand oint cannot be determined until late 1 the summer, is the conclusion of lan D. Garvoy, a special correspond nt of the Times, who is at Atlin. Garvoy is a mining mun of many ( ears' experience and knows every . lacer and quartz mining camp in Al ska and the Western country. The | iifarmation he has gathered, und may ? e Uiken as being as accurate as it is ! umanly possibly to make it, is as ; ollows: |* "The accurate facts about the al eged strike made by Skookum Jim he Indian, who shared with George 'armack the discoverey of the Daw 011 gold fields, as near as 1 can learn hem from careful, observing men up >n whose judgment there can bo no tuostion, are these: "Late last fall several Indians dis :overed bright, coarse gold on an ex losed rimrock of Silver creek. They lecamo excited and hastened here to liscover other natives who had had lorne experience in the Klondike gold fields. They were advised to go back md stake the creek. This they did la ter in the fall, making the trip over the snow. In December forty of them returned to Atlin and staked that many claims. "When it became known that so many claims were staked and record ed in a new district, the white minors and prospectors in this and neighbor ing camps gradually drifted into the new camp and staked claims on near by creeks without doing any pros pecting. A few of them have tried to sink to bedrock but, because of water, they have not yet succeeded. The ground is now covered with four feet of snow.?Seattle Times. Robt. Simpson, Opt. D.
