A deal which is considered to be of Importance by reason of the location of the claims, was consumated In Vancouver last week by I hike Harris, of New Ha/eiioii, one of ihe pioneer mining men of the north. Mr. Harris arrived in Vancouver with an option in his pocket, but although he put his proposition up to several local men, he was compelled to deal wilh men in Prince Rupert finally by reason of the apathy of Vancoiiveiites. He got in touch with Princj Rupert by wire and made the deal at long distance. After the property had changed hands, however, Mr. Harris had numerous opportunities to reconsider his deal and could have disposed of the property in Vancouver.
