Henry Bratnober, the mining expert who recently made a trip to Daw-soCity in the interest of the London company purchased a number of claims for his employers, the aggregate price paid being 2,200.000. Mr. Bratnobers operations is thought to be additional evidence of the value of Klondikes gold fields. A. C. Yost, one of the survivors of the d expedition from Colorado- to the gold fields of Bolivia and Peru, has returned to Denver. He says tha stories of terrible ravages of fever ia those countries have been greatly exagerated. He says the gold fields consist of rich placers which give rich returns for machine mining, but poor men have no chance there. It is said thatjthe mining district surrounding Baker City, Ore., is a great country for gold, and that in nearly every camp there are several mills iq operation, the number of stamps dropping, with contemplated additions, amounting to over 300. This is an excellent showing, and it is believed that in the near future this will rank as one of the leading gold of the west. ns The Gipsy Queen Gold Mining company, composed of Chicago business men, and headed by Percy D. White-hea- d of that city, have closed a contract with the Missouri Dredge company at Kansas City for an elevated bridge, an immense affair which is' to be attached to the bow of a steamboat now building in Chicago and which it is intended to ship west within thirty days, to be sent Into the Klondike. The richest gold mine In the world, according to the New York Tribune, is located nnder the thriving town of Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. The town has about 25,000 inhabitants, nearly all of whom are employed in the mine. There are more than 100 miles of tunnels under the city, some of them being at a depth of 2,ooo feet. The entrance to the mine, which is controlled by a corporation and is known as the Band, Barton and Albion Connells. Is outside the city. The department of mining and geology of the Wyoming 8tate university has just given out ten remarkable assays of surface gold ores from the Grand Encampment mining district in southern Wyoming. These assays were of ore from widely different parts of the diatrict, no two samples being from any one prospector or miner. The phenomenal average of 461.82 resulted from them.
