Before the next issue of "Thi* Claim" can reach our subscribers a new year will have begun and we take this opportunity of wishing one and all A Happy New Year���a year of true prosperity. IBOt will be the third year of this Camp's existence and promises to be one of great development . along many lines. Though we, knowing the mineral resources of the Atlin district, may have been impatient at the apparent lack of interest hitherto shown by the outside investor, still the fact remains that the progress made" by the best mining camps of the Continent has been slow: the history of Cripple Creek and of Kooteuay shows this. But in time ���and we venture to say but a short time-- our District will excite the atten- tion" it deserves. Capital will be eager to find investments here and Atlin will soon be as well known 11 the World as Coolgardie is to-day. The following letter appeared in the New York Engineering and Mining Journal, of the 17th November last. . " Many of our readers will remember .Mr. E. P. Spalding *M. E. who spent considerable time in the spring and summer of the present year in examining hydraulic and other mining properties in this district. The examinations made by Mr. Spalding 'while here were very thorough and prolonged and his opinion of the prospects for successful mining in this Camp, published for the first time iu this letter, is valuable. Sir: In your last.notice of the ������Famous Gold Nuggets of the World," on page 513 of the November 3rd issue, you say: "Contrary lo general belief, Alaska and Yukon has produced no large nuggets." Strictly speaking this may be so, but the Atlin district in British Columbia produces many fair sized nuggets and has, to my certain knowledge produced at least two that may fairly be called large. While in the Atlin district recently, examining hydraulic propositions, it was my good fortune to see these two nuggets, which I photographed. One of these was picked up on a bench claim just below discover- on Pine Creek, July 21st, -900, and weighs 29 ounces 10 pennyweights 11 grains, valued at $472, The other was picked up on Discovery Claim Boulder Creek', about August 1 st. 1900, aud weighs 4S ounces 1 2 pennyweights, valued at $778 Bolli' of these nuggets were abso- lntelv free of quart/, or other rock. It a-is notable tact that nearly everv Creek iu the district produces for saving.such gold are employed. Permit me to say, while on this subject, that if the real facts with regards to this, field were known and unterstood more fully by American capital and mining men, they would very soon embrace ihe opportunities that exist there. In no field that I know of personally, are the opportunities for large and long operations iu hydraulic aud dredge mining as good as in the Atlin District. Iw my opinion the District will prove a permanent and very profitable producer- of the noble metal for many years from its alluvial deposits alone. Besides these the outlook for quartz mining is very promising. Gold, silver, lead and copper have been found in paying quantities under certain conditions, and as rapidly as the' necessary capital can be secured development will be prosecuted "on many claims of real surface merit. ' E. P. Spalding. * Chicago, Nov. 8th, 1900 [Our reference to the absence of nuggets from Alaska and the Yukon was not intended to cover the Atlin country. We have heretofore spoken of nuggets from' that district, and published an illustration of one in our issue of August 191I1, 1899, page 215.���Editor, E. & M. J-] 3.

' This undertaking of co-operative r. respecting on the "Race Horse" group of hydraulic leases near town' is a local enterprise from s'-art to finish.��� The "idea of taking tip the ground for .hydraulic and dredging purposes, and of thoroughly prospecting it, was conceived by the pioneers of the Camp���by the men who have withstood the battle and the breeze of both winter and summer ���- and their success is w:ell merited. Every dollar expended in developing this property, and it now runs into the thousands, has been provided locally in Atlin town. None of the contributors will claim to be capitalists, nor even well fixed. The co-owners of the " Race Horse" group and the co;workers who are now developing the property are typical representatives of a genuine mining spirit that should pervade every crevice in Atlin. Such spirit goes far to make up for the lack ot outside capital that has been a hindrance to the Camp up to the present. This party of enterprising workers are preparing the way for capital | to come into the Camp, aud to in- | stall a plant on a well prospected ' property that will bring handsome returns to the investors and will be a source of pride to the town- Most of the readers of the "Claim" are familiar with the successful prospecting carried on last winter under the direction o( Mr. i Mackintosh.

' Encouraged by the foregoing, arrangements weie entered into with W. H. T. Olive to continue the prospecting by driving a tunnel froin bed-rock on Fine Creek, just below Me. Kee Creek bridge, to one ' of Mackintosh's pay shafts 1200 ft', up stream. The tunuel,.is now driven about .150 .feet, including a short open cut, and with encouraging prospects. It is anticipated that the "pay" underlying the clay will*" be struck at less tha:; 100 feet ahead. It' is the intention to hilly prospect the extent ot the pay gravel, and this will take all winter. Iu this connection tunnelling, drifting and sinking are being carried on successfully elsewhere in this Camp, during these winter mouths,.and there are moremen at work now' than this time last year. To all' such good hearty toilers, and particularly tothe "Pine Creek Tunnel Syndicate." "The Claim" wishes every success.

' ^��������������� ^ ( ATLIN CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL. , This is the brief story of another Christmas festival similar in some ways to that at Pine, -dissimilar in others. "There areabcut'30 children in Atlin, the majority of them girls, there are just one girl and four boys iu Pine, so that there the older people did most, had to. In Atlin the old people got well out of it. The Rev. F. L. Stevenson made remarks here and there aud kept the people on the alert, as a good chairman always does; and James Stables,M. L..-A. gave a short and happy address. But it-was after 'all .a children's programme.. The Carols and drills, and other songs took the audience of grown up people captive and carried them away to other days and other scenes. There was a song by Maggie Mc. Donald, a recitation by Walter Blackett, a recitation by Eleanor Wollas ton and another by Ethel Pillman. The children gave evidence of being carefully trained. It was remarked by more than one * or two in the audience, that every word in song and recitation could be distinctly heard iu ihe remotest corner of the church. Two friends had purchashed and given the committee, for the children, the whole stock of toys etc. in town and the children were bubbling over with expectation and were not disappointed. Mr. Pringle at the close of the entertainment expressed the thanks of all to Messrs. Byrom and Wrong for their kindness. The evening closed with games by the children, in which some of the older people showed that at least they were growing old gracefully and had lost little of the spirit or sprightliness of earlier days. The last Christmas of the 19 th. century will never be forgotten by those who enjoyed its festivities in the Atliu District.' The Atlin City programme follows.
