a better official than a military man, al

According to a report Just received by
the Department from toe United States

Informed that $10,000,000 will fully cover
the product Reports from Alaska Indi
cate that more gold will be fouad there
than will ever eome out of this district,"
The report wares everybody that It Is
useless to mall papers and msgszlnes to
persons at Dawson City anless letter
