Tuesday evening- at Discovery  was set apart for .the children. A  Christmas tree festival was given  by the. members of the Presbyterian  Church, iu tlie church, and the few  hours'of pleasure enjoyed by both  young and old,' will ever remain a  happy memory of '.Xrnas root.-  'On Christmas I've, midnight service was held in the Kpiscbpal  Church, and after the service the  presentation of a .purse, containing  the sum ol $60, was- made to the  Rev.'

The  entertainment was held in the Presbyterian L Church which was most  tastefully decorated ���though the  building was too small to hold ihe  immense crowd who desired to witness the performance. The details  of the programme, as far as concerned the children, were in the  hands of Miss Hughes, and we  do not pay her too high a compliment when we say that these were  perfect. We also understand that  she arranged all the par's,'which'  made a very happy blending of the  uever-to-be-lorgolteu fairy tales of  our childhood. Miss Hughes and  Mr. Lumsden acted the. parts of  of father and mother grieving over  the absence of their children on this  festive season, when one by one the  girls and boys appear in costume:  lit hei Pillman, as a nurse, touched  the hearts of the audience by-, her  beautifully   delivered / piece ;    the  her untiring effons of the last  several       weeks. The dia  logue was prepared by her and all  who were fortunate in witnessing  the entertainment showed their appreciation by their generous applause. Several solos were sung by  the children, by Miss Hughes and  by Mr. Lumsden, all of which were  most heartily enjoyed. Mr. Pilling  faithfully performed his duty at the  organ, ably assisted by our old  friend, Mr. HatuHke, with his violin, while we must not forget the  indispensable Maid of All Work,.  Daisy Durie, whose duties kept her  ever 011 the move, but did not dis-  pellllie winning smile she had for  everybody.  At the close of the programme, ������  the sleigh bells of Santa Clans were  heard and riveted the attention of  youngsters, and oldsters, alike.  He was most, lavish with his gifts,  and regrets were heard that it was  "so long till next Christmas."  A pleasing presentation was.made  to Miss Hughes on behalf of the  school children and their parents of  a beautiful Atlin nugget chain,  which was feelingly acknowledged. V

'.fins, being the last issue of 1901,
we wish   all   our   patrons   and the
public a most prosperous New \"car.
Il   is   our   intention   to   give mil-
readers   a  general   resume   of  the
year's   prog res.., in   the district, together wilh   interesting  vital slalis-
tistics  concerning   the   work ol"development.     During ihe next week
or so a special  issue of the Claim
will   be   issued,    and,   as   we  will
print a number   of extra   copies we
hope   the   increased    demand   will
recompense us.
With next week's issue each subscriber will receive a beautiful coloured picture, iS by 24 inches, of
Kinglidwaul VII, which is well
worth framing.
That a mass meeting should  be
found necessary to suggest the performance,   by  delinquent   officials,
ol a plain and self-suggesting duty,
is another of .l!*.e   ma:iy absurdities
for'which-this camp is now famous
and   to   which   it  owes its unique-
place in mining annals. . Unless the
Menzies' ' leaseholders    can   show
cause why their  grants  should not
be leciarecl   rorl'citefl   and cancelled
for non-compliance with   Ihe conditions ol" their respective'leases, it is
so   clearly the   routine  duty.of the
Cold Commissioner and the   Minister of .Mines lo so declare Ihein thai
we cannot but   wonder  the  matter
has been so  long  left  iu abeyance.
So much of  the   ground  blanketed
by these leases is either legally held
by   individual   claim-owners   or is
still vested in   the  Crown and open
lo   location,  thai  'this     particular
group   ol    leaseholds   should  have
been   firmly taken   in  hand by Mr.
Graham   long  ere -this, in order to
definitely   limit   or  indefinitely extend   the   area   available for individual drill mining.    Once the value
of   the   ground, to   Life  individual
miner, was made  known lo him by
the development  work of the   past
two seasons, the opportunity should
not have been allowed to slip to retrieve   the   error   of  judgment by
which   the   only   real   drifting proposition   iu the district was permitted to pass out of the possession ol"
the hard working mirier into that of
the    idle   aud     speculative    leaseholder.     This   holding of   corner

Recent'telegraphic reports slated

the question of appointing a County

the    "Colonist:"
" The affairs ol" Atlin came up for
consideration on account of some remarks addressed lo the Council by
.Mr. C. Dubois Mason. Mr. Mason,
among other things, spoke of the
need of a resident judge al Atlin,
and made oul a very strong case
for one. The Council decided to

We feel assured that the resolutions passed at the recent meeting
will receive instant att'jiilion by the
titles. The story of disputed claims
and of the injury done to the camp
by the inevitable., delay in haying

which the people of liritisli Columbia would have no reason lo feel

We are at  present 35 feel below the lake level  i\\\d aie finding some of the richest  ore yet found in the country. With  every blast we find flaky specimens  like the one I am sending you by  'this mail, which you will find lo be  telluride and free gold.  "In the last two weeks we have  gathered some hue high grade"ore  which you would be surprised lo  take a look at."  .   Il   must,   be    with   considerable  gratification    that     the     company  learns of the results of the development wor.k done  upon   its property  during   the   pieseut   winter.    The  work   is   being  carried   on  by the  Norton    Brothers   aud   three men,  and the returns   have fully justified  expectations.-  A drift was'first run,  from a prospect   shaft sunk   by the  company in   the   hydraulic   pit,..for  some.distance into ihe bench on the  north-west   side   of the creek, the  difficulty of gelling rid of the seepage water   corJpelfcd   the   men  lo  abandon   tin's   drift.    A   new shaft  was sunk-to   bedrock, 40 feel lower  down   the  creek, to  a  depth of 16  feet" -a-drift-was then driven'up and  across   the  creek. ��� The   men   are  working  in   pay   the   full   face   of  tunnel.    From- this drift some very  coarse gold   has   been, taken,   four  nuggets, in value, respectively, 4J/,  3}i> -% and 2 ounces, were picked  off bedrock.    The    best  guarantee  of the value  of  the   ground is the  fact that the men are all thoroughly  satisfied aixl are making money.
