Abstract
EXPLANATIONS of the eccentricities of the paystreak in placer deposits have long been considered difficult to furnish. Geikie, Beck, Posepny, Locke, Lindgren, and many others have all discussed the subject and acknowledged the fact. Eight years' residence and study of placer phenomena in the Klondike gold-bearinp: region of Canada on the part of Mr. J. B. Tyrrell have enabled him to formulate a natural law respecting the location of the paystreak, not only in the Klondike, but also in any placer region of the world.
