The most largely attended dance of the season was that of last night, for the inde fatigafife hostesses, Mesdames Barry and Engelhardt, had extended their kind Invitations to nearly all Bennett, and nearly everybody was represented there. The highest credit is due to these ladies for the excellent way in which everything was managed, and for the pains taken to ensure warmth and comfort to all the guests. It was no light matter to transform a steamboat, which has been laid up for weeks, into a palatial ballroom, but this stu* pendous task ^proved no obstacle to these estimable ladies, for it was successfully accomplished. The long saloon of the beat furnished ample room for all the dancers, while the entrance lobby (or waiting room) was patronized by the lovers of the fragrant wood, and ample accommodations by side tables was provided for those inclined to card playing. The dancing programme was a long one, and nicely arranged, beginning with a grand march, ledV by Mr. and Mrs. Roberts. The cake walk was the most enjoyable event of the evening. The first figures of the "walk" were danced very^nicely by Mrs. Engelhardt • and Mr. Phelps (tils), followed by the evening's premiers, Messrs. D. Von Cramer and A. Engelhardt, who appeared costumed as a couple of "dead swell coons." Their efforts were loudly applauded. The refreshments offered by the fair hostesses were bounteous and graciously served. The lotion department was in capable hands. The celebrated Jenner-Oartmel orchestra (unabridged), on a raised platform, gave general satisfaction, and altogether everyone most thoroughly entered into the spirit of enjoyment, and left regret- ing tne close of such a pleasing event in the history of Bennett. Brother Barry is to be complimented'! : pn his zealousness in escorting the' ladies to the dance. He first of all gave his arm to one lady, and leaving her on •board, said he must go in search for Wore; and when he again reached the boat it was in company of six ladies, thus bringing upon himself the well- earned title of "the beau." Thermometer at 2 p. m. to day stood at 20 degrees above zero showing only 12 degrees frost. Report of a great British victory by Gen. Buller has come over the wires. Severe fighting is said to have taken place at Tugela river, resulting in losses: 900 British; 3,000 Boers. Report also states that two British regiments in mistake fired on each other, with losses in both regiments, and the mistake was not discovered until actual bayoneting commenced. Explanations will undoubtedly follow, but possibly thick brush was the Cause of disaster. Mail Carrier Humphries has been laid up with a severe cold the greater part of this week. He is now about again and is waiting mail from Skagway, when he will at once set out with the Dawson portion.

Mr. Brooks' mules arrived from White Horse Thursday night, 17 in number. Brooks is supposed to be in Skagway. One of these mules, it is alleged, made the hole that the Red Lino teams broke through. The next train in from Skagway will bring back many snow-bound residents of Bennett; among tho number are J. Westj D. Burns, George Stelly, Frank Turner, Rev. Sinclair and E. E. Siegley.

Local Postoffice authorities say the mail left Skagway, on Friday morning by dog team, so we may look for letters about Monday. Mrs. J. G. Phelps, wife of the yard- master of the White Pass railroad at this place, arrived in the city last Saturday evening and will remain some time.

The next morning (Thursday) he started with his dogs for Tagish to visit his brother, Sergeant Pringle, of the N. W. M. P. The reverend gentleman expected to be back in Bennett by Monday or Tuesday of this week, but the severe snowstorm delated his starting. He arrived in this city about I o'clock on Thursday, having left Caribou eailyon Wednesday morning. He was in company with M. J. Heney's two teams which went through the ice. He tried to make Bennett Wednesday night, but the storm was too severe and the trail very bad, so he and others who were with him built a fire, and spent the night, without blankets. When they reached the engineers' camp, three miles from Bennett, they had been 24 hours withoufc-food.

A great deal is being said at present about the likeness in spirit and action between the miner and' the gambler. So closely do some claim to trace this resemblance that they cannot draw the line between the man who wins at black jack or roulette and the prospector who, with pick and shovel, digs gold from the Oarth. . again the time-worn expression: **iyiin- fog i an^gai^i^^r>nlyIfi rjajue, their' inherehtr pMflc'iplts a*et «$« the same order.',' Accepting this as a self- evident truth, the thoughtless adopt it as a rule of action and gamble away their money and thtejr wif s. This alone is about all .the injury the ill used words can'do. Sfntelligtmt miners will continue to prospect new districts and gamblers will woo the god of chance at the roulette or black jack table without ever finding a eonvergence or meeting of their respective lines. There is nothing congenerous nor in common between them. The line of demarcation is so distinct that all may find it. —Juneau Miner. * A HUNDRED YEARS FROrt NOW.

Wholesale and Retail General BKNNRlT, B.C, would conclude that the weight of gold relative to ihe whole is sufficient to fix its valuta at not less than $5 0,000 per ton. It won'd not takt a very large vein of this character to establish the reputation of this district as one rich iu quartz. In the light of what we see and hear concerning the gold bearing quarts, formations, hi this vi;unity, it is certainly not at all reckless to -predict a great future for the district as a quartz-mining field.-— Yukon Sun. Victimized by Forger ; VAncouviiU,B. C, Jani4.--Local store- I eepers have littn victimized i\i whole- sale st lc by a clever and succe sful forger who has worked this city pretty thoroughly. All ofthe fdi^eries were checks drawn upajtal&e BanMBf British Coluuibia, with what prasuineu to he tlie firm signature of Morrison & Armstrong Each check was drawn in favor of George Voldmar, who represented himself its a workman in the employ of the firm. The firm name was placed on the check with a rubber stamp, having also the signature klow, 'W. H. Armstrong, manager." The amount ofthe check, which was invariably $10, was punched through the paper, and the check had every appearance of genuineness. The forger's simple method was to make a small purchase, tender the check and receive about $9 in change. The scheme worked like a charm and it was only when the bank refused payment that the guileless merchants suspected anything wrong. The forger has not been arrested, although the police have his description Percy Travis, familiarly known as "Monty," dispenses aromatic and fine mixtures at the Klondike hotel bar. "Mouty" is a winner, sure. Speculating About a Throne Though Queen Victoria heads a very large family order, and has descendant* of impetial as well as royal.ranks, it is interesting to note that, next to the Duke of York's two sons and deughter, the Duchess of Fife's two daughters count beforeall otherrin nearness to the crown. It is a far look aliead, but in 203 years, if the York line fails, as did the senior Bour on line of France, to the principal representative* of the bouse of Duff will then fall the kingship, or the queeuship of England, or the name of it. The Ladies Duff are, consequently, being carefully trained in the way they should go, though the chance is mighty slim of sturdy Prince Edward, or hia equally sturdy little brother Albert ever giving his cousins a living show in the throne business. Yet dynasties have suQdenly petered out before now.—Boston Herald. . Mr. Jack -Allen has consented to leadr the negative in the debate on Tuesday evening next.
