More About Stickeen.

Statements made by intelligent gentlemen who have recently returned from Stickeen gold mines fully corroborate all the reports as to the extent and richness of the diggings. The weather at last accounts was warm and pleasant, and the grass was two or three inches high at Buck's Bar. Men are making from $18 to $25 per day, and can but work their claims a few hours at a time. Claims on Dease Creek are 100 feet in length and the width of the creek; land claims are 100 feet square. It costs $2.50 for recording a claim, and $5 for a miner's license. From these latter accounts it would seem that the half has not been told regarding the richness of the country: one reason, probably, being that the country is yet to be prospected and thoroughly tested. If it be true that men are making from $150 to $200 per day, by thancing out the dirt, what can they not realize from the diggings when the frost is driven from the ground by the warm suns of Summer? Men are catching the gold fever who were never excited by the most fabulous tales of gold heretofore, and the excitement and rush is becoming greater day by day.
