Water Freezes and Forms Glacier Miles Long. . / Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 22.--After sink- ing a shgit 210 feet, two Klondvke miners struck a stream of water which suddenly filled the shaft and began overflowing. The stream in- creased until it became as laige as Bonanza creek in summer time. Run- ning down Bonanza valley, it cut through numerous dumps of auriferous dirt, swept away cabins, and washed out large piles of cordwood hauled for thawing purposes. The well became a regular gevser and threatened to work permanent injury to the entire Bonan- za district. : Its menace was so great that the Yukon government sent engineers! to stop its flow if possible. They have spent £1,000 in capping the geyser. A dispatch received to-day says they have succeeded. In the meantime the overflow from the gevser has frozen solid, forming a glacier several miles. long," whicl§ will require years to melt. The water came from a subterranean lake below the frost level. This shaft is the first one ever sunk in the Klon- dyke district helow the permanent frost limits, Its owners had taken sold from thiee successive bedrocks | and expected finding vicher gravel than | on bedrock which they were approach- | breath ing when the water was struck. They have applied for permanent possession of the head of water from the shaft, which will be worth more than an ordinary gold mine if the flow :ontinues fs heavy during the sum- n when PRonanza and Eldorado reeks are low. The gold commission vill grant their request if they can provide some wav of controlling the flow, so it will not damage other pro perty. Mines Again Closed. Long Lake, Dec.
