Rich Ore Is Reported Found Near Alaskan Border
KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Jan. 1. — Thousands of persons in the United States and Canada, and even England have been sent here for reports regarding a supposed fabulous gold strike just across the Canadian line south of here, near Hyder, a town on the American side of the international boundary.
Hyder residents expect a "rush" next spring, according to word brought here.
Reports from Hyder rather discourage the coming of men who have not adequate financial backing. Prospectors described the place as "not a poor man's camp" and "not a second Klondike."
A body of what is reported to be extremely rich ore has been discovered.
