Estimates placed upon individual claims by theirowners have been given and much tangible proof offered, but the statements of Mr. William Ogiivie, Dominion Surveyor in charge of the boundary survey, are, if anything, still more astounding. In an official report from DawsonCity in regard to the district, he says: The extent of thegold-bearing section here is such as to warrant the assertionthat we have here a district which will give 1, 000 claimsof 500 feet in length each. Now 1, 000 such claims willrequire at least 3, 000 men to work them properly, and, aswages for working in the mines are from $8 to $10 a day, without board, we have every reason to assume thatthis part of our territory will within a year or two contain10, 000 souls at least, for the news has gone out to the coastand an unprecedented influx is expected next spring.
