'PLANES IN RUSH
LABRADOR “KLONDIKE.”
ST. JOHN'S (Newfoundland), July 2. Aeroplanes are being used to carry prospectors to the rich gold deposits found in Labrador, territory belonging to Newfoundland. r l he new field, which extends for about 2,300 square miles between the 52nd and 53rd parallels of latitude, is expected ultimately to prove as rich as the Klondike area, which was the scene of the last great “gold rush” in 189 G. Most of ilie prospector's are Americans, only a lew Canadians or natives of Newfoundland taking part. Apparently there are no prospectors from the United Kingdom. There are already four prospecting parlies of about 100 men working over about 800 miles which the Government has reserved for leasing. Negotiations are in progress for the leasing of the remaining areas.
