Jt was with regret, that the publishers of "Tine Claim" ceased, for a time, 'their weekly issue of the pioneer paper of the district, and while all felt the absence ol a live paper of our own, we tc-day congratulate ourselves' thai " The Claim "has taken a new-lease of life and is now under entirely new management. Tn coming5 again before the public of Atlin, we ask what we believe we are entitled to ask : the hearty support of the entire community, and, receiving this , we have no fear as to the future prosperity of the paper itself . We propose.-to conduct "The Claim "on distinctly non-political and non-party lines, believing, as we do, that the best interest of the district will be met by adopting this policy. Our columns will always be open to the public and. our aim will be, the promotion of the mining and other interests of Atlin. _. It is our firm conviction that we have a great future before us in this camp and we urge upon every one, . especially our Pioneers, to bear in miud**that "Rome was not built in a- day,", -and .that Atlin expects her sons to stand to - gether and pull as "one man. Our future is in our own hands;, .by uni- ' ted action and- mutual support the early development of'the District is assured. led that hydraulic workings will be instituted iu the year 1901:- the projects are now under consideration. Ground lias lately been prospected in different part's of this "Division (e. g., on Pine Ceek below Surprise Lake, on Pine Creek within three miles of its mouth and at the head of Spruce Creek) which carries good values and will yield handsomely for working by the method of dredging. Owing to lack of.grade this ground is not altogether suitable for hydraulicking and hence it-is proposed'to.mine -it with modern dredges of the contitm- ous'bucket type such as are so largely and successfully used in New Zea: land and California. ( The quartz of the District has not been so much prospected as the gravel, but from what is known of the rock values it may be safely prophesied that Atlin will be an Important gold-quartz camp. In another column of this issue will'be found a reference to the principal prospects and ' the work done in developing some of them. Nor does gold alone represent the wealth of the-camp. , Silver, Copper, Nickel, Mercury aud Lead" have all been found. Capital has never been offered a belter opportunity for-remunerative investment in inrnng ventures than this Atlin District affords. 3. fl. Traser $ Co. SUCCESSOR!-* TO P. P. CO. First Street, Atlin.

From a scientific point of view, the game showed little merit, but was an excellent exhibition of oi brute force and utter ignorance; it consisted- chiefly in'a series vof scrimmages wherever .the puck happened to be, and looked more like a whirlwind of feet,'clubs', heads a lid skates' than it-1 hockey1 nbfateh. j Hitherto, the mortality in thec'aihp ' has been insignificant, but with a similar game only once a week,-' sve give the tip gratis, there should be 1 a first class opening for an enterprising undertaker.
