The vaine of the churches and the ‘Yand on which they are erected in this | country up to July 1, 1897, is esti- mated at $680, 000,000.

This is the conclusion that has been reached by John D. McGillivray, an expert on gold, who sends a letter telling of the conditions which gold seekers are confronted with in the Yukon region in Alaska. Mr. MeGillivray had been studying the situstion in Dawson City snd the mines for several weeks when the letter was written. He ealls particular attention to the fact that all the claims on the richest of the gold creeks have already been taken up, and that new comers must prospect for themselves or work as sborers in the mines already opened.
