Information brought by persons of unquestioned reliability seem to show that the world has seen c n'y the begin ning of the golden harvest in the frozen north.

Fully 5000 prospector! an 1 miners are already tearing np 'the banks of the streams, sinking shafts and cross-cutting with great success. On Coal creek the deposits of coal will be of great value in working the dig gings, and will expedite work by melt ing the frozen earth. Edwin F. Lang, of Haverhill, Mass., one of the returned miners, says that the coal deposits found are scarcely less valuable than the gold mines. The scene of the greatest excitement at present is in the Stewart river coun try. This includes a large territory drained by Stewart river and many trib utary streams, among the latter being Clear creek and Coal creek. The de developments in this region tend to in dicate that the vield of Dawson Citv district may be duplicated, and perhaps exceeded. Mine Explosion Kills Two Men. Seattle, Wash., July 28.
