THE CHICAGO RECORDS BOOK FOR GOLD-SEEKERS. CHAPTER THE GOLD IS FOUND. HE Klondike placer mines are locatedin the Northwest territory of BritishAmerica, just east of the Alaskanborder line, and abont 2,200 milesfrom the mouth of the Yukon Klondike is a stream which en-ters the Yukon about two miles fromDawson City, which is about 170miles from Circle City. The Klon-dike is about 140 miles in length, running in a westerlydirection, and the gold-bearing creeks, where the richestdeposits have been found, run into the Klondike from asoutherly direction. Two and a half miles up the Klondike, from its conflu-ence with the Yukon river, is Bonanza creek, which hasseveral small tributaries. Twelve miles from where theBonanza creek enters the Klondike, and running ap-. 14 THE CHICAGO RECORDS proximately parallel with the Yukon, is El Dorado creek,which is from twelve to fifteen miles in length. Aboutseven miles further up Bonanza creek is Gold Bottomcreek, and several miles beyond is Adams creek, andstill nearer the source of Bonanza creek are smallerstreams, all gold bearing. Some twelve miles up theKlondike is Bear creek, with its tributaries; twelve milesbeyond Hunker creek empties into the Klondike, andabout the same distance from there, up the Klondike, isToo Much Gold creek. The richest finds have been madeprincipally on the Bonanza and El Dorado, but richstrikes have been reported on all the creeks named. Prospectors have found rich deposits on Indian river,which empties into the Yukon about fifty miles belowthe Klondike. Indian river runs in a southwesterly di-rection, and running out of Indian creek is Quartz creek,a well-explored stream about fifty miles from the con-fluence of Indian creek and the Yukon.
