LOCATION OF THE YUKON MINES.
MAP OF THE YUKON GOLD DIGGINGS.
Sitka appears at the southeast corner of this map, and northeast of itis Juneau, the usual fitting out place for miners going to the Yukon.
The arrows show the route of miners bound for the Yukon. Steamboats cancarry them from Juneau as far as Ty-a. Then they must pack their loadsthrough Chilkoot Pass and boat them through a chain of lakes and downthe Lewis River to the Yukon. It is about 700 miles from Juneau to theKlondyke River.
The two other most important centres of Yukon mining were Forty MileCreek, where there were two big mining camps, Forty Mile and FortCudahy, and Circle City. All these camps have now been practicallydeserted in the great rush for the Klondyke.
The ever reliable and always trustworthy New York Sun publishes the mapas given above.
