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 "7" ATIJN, B.C..

'.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.

The following is quoted from an editorial in 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.
