Record Clean-Up From One Claim In Tanana District
Three hundred thousand dollars for the 1905 spring clean-up is the record of Discovery claim on Cleary Creek. The claim is owned by many prospectors, the largest sum ever taken from any mine in the Tanana district. The Dolphin brought $400,000 from Dawson, marking the first spring clean-up there. Navigation on the Yukon is now clear from White Horse to Tanana, with floods rising eight inches at White Horse. The Dolphin's purser notes the first Weasel from Tanana due with 50 passengers to Fairbanks. The steamer Horse will carry 70 Klondike passengers from Dawson to that city. The gold from the Dolphin is sent to the U S assay office and was brokered by the Canadian Bank of Commerce in Dawson.
