Excerpt from The Gold Fields of Cape Nome, Alaska: Entered According to the Act of Congress, February 23, 1900, in the Office of the Librarian of Congress, Washington, D. C
The thousands of prospectors, whom the Klondike excitement sent to Alaska two years ago, have proved that Prof. Davidson's theory was correct. This gold bearing belt seems to be confined to the great stretch of territory compris ed within the 64, 65, 66 degrees North Latitude, and as far as yet known, commences about the 128 degrees longitude, west of Greenwich, finding its way across, into Siberia.
Gold in paying quantities has been found right along in the territory above mentioned.
