Johnny McGinn, lawyer and mine operator, upon arrival here, said:
"I haven't seen such a glad sight for 20 years as a quarter of a million dollars in gold dust just coming into Fairbanks. All three dredges of the Fairbanks Exploration Company are working full blast, tearing into the gravel.
"The Nome Creek Dredging Company is cleaning up.
All dredges in the district are working and several hard rock mines are producing.
