Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Klondyke Gold Fields: Their Discovery, Development and Future Possibilities, With Practical Information on Gold Mining, How to Get There, What to Carry, What to Do, Also Hints of Value to Propectors Traders and Investors The one magic word which has, perhaps, been spoken, written and printed, more than any other, during the past few weeks, is Klondyke. I retain the spelling of the word in the form given because I believe it to be strictly accurate, although many newspapers, doubtless well informed, have departed from the first rendering and have substituted the letter "I" for the letter "Y," a matter of little moment, indeed, but one which may yet give rise to controversy, as the name, itself, bids fair to take a leading place in future history and to become even more celebrated than that of California. As a matter of simple fact, it is as well to observe, the original name of the now notorious river and district was spelt "Thron dak," or "duick," a word of Indian origin, which means, "plenty of fish." To those who are acquainted with gold-bearing strata in various parts of the world, and who make it their business to obtain information in regard to new mineral discoveries, the fact has been well known for many years that the immense territory, bordering on the Arctic Circle and extending on the East into British Columbia and on the West and South into Alaska, contains deposits of gold of incalculable value.
