Owing to the choppy sea the boats could not make, a .landing on shore only a lew miles distant, aud drifted all day. Sixty-five people were picked up by the steamer Dispatch and taken to Eureka. Another boat; under command of Ivngineer Brown, containing thirteen persons, readied laud at Trinidad but was swamped and six persons were drowned, including J. Williamson, Quartermaster, W. Marol, fireman, and I,. Drube, a passenger, names of the. other three unknown. ' On receipt . of -the news tugs were at once sent from Kureka to look for the missing boat's. The tug Ranger picked up one containing eleven passengers ard three of the crew." KuKi'KA, Cal.; Jan. 3d.--Capt. A. I,. Hall, master of the wrecked steamer, gives the following, account of the disaster; " We left Sail Francisco ou Wednesday bound for Victoria and Puget Sound. Wea^ ther-thickened as night advanced and on Thursday morning a heavy fog, accompanied by light rain, set It was very chirk at the time, while the uncertain light interfered lo a great extent with the rescue of passengers. I remained on board assisting them and went down with the ship. After I had been down, I dout know how Ion-1" the social deck broke off and I floated to the surface with it. Sighting- a life ��� raft, I commenced swimming and succeeded in reaching it after a hard struggle,and was nulled' on board by the three occupants. We floated about all clay and early in the evening were picked up a lew miles to the north of the wreck by the steamer Dispatch which was proceeding to Seattle. From tlie information I liave since received concerning tlie rescue of passengers and crew lam unable to state how large the death list will be, but in my opinion it will not be less than twenty and possibly may reach forty or fifty. ��� A; number were injured by falling timbers and I am certain many of the steerage passengers perished in this manner; the housing of the forward part split into matchwood. . "While not very rough, the sea was nasty and choppy and tlie continual wash over the rafts was a severe hardship, especially ,to the ladies, many of whom were in the last stages of exhaustion1 when picked up by the Dispatch."

Instructions Issued From Ottawa ��� Notifying1 Postmasters That All Mail Matter Will Bo Forwarded to Atlin. Following up tlie instructions issued from the Postmaster-General's department in Ottawa, similar in- slruclions have been sent out from Washington, I). C, notifying postmasters that all classes of mail addressed to the Atlin and Yukon diet that, from the prospects ob taineci and the quantity of grouiiif cljslricls win hereafter be made up and forwaided from the Seattle poslcflice. A previous order forbade the admission ol other than first'-ciass mail for these places. The order from the Supt. of Foreign Mails is to the following effect: "In view of instructions received from the Hon. the Postmaster-General ol Canada, '.voir 'will please cause articles otlier than letters, post-cards and newspapers, destined for the Yukon aud Atlin districts to be in 'available for such operations,. Atlin will afford satisfactory returns from its dee;) drifting for many years to come. This winter's work is bei/.g done, for the most part, with a view to permanency and not, as heretofore, as a makeshift for a grubstake. It is, at the moment, impossible to define the boundaries of the ancient auriferous beds now under exploitation On- Pine and Spruce creeks, or, for that matter, on Boul- Platinurh Pointers. As a guide to miners and prospectors, who ' desire to save the platinum values from their black sands, it would be well to note that ail the platinum metals,are gray, in colour, with a'comparatively feeble luster; are very flexible and can, be' dissolved in aqua regia and precipe laled by ammonium or potassium chloride. This applies, to all but 1 alladiuin, which' will remain in solution. Platinum is not acted ou by hydrochloric, hydrofionrie, nitric and,sulphuric.acids or a mixture of hydrofionrie and nitric acids., Aqua regia, and any liquid containing chlorine, or'able to evolve chlorine or bromine, dissolves platinum.������' Meude'.eefT. ��� Mortgagee's S.ale. ���NT0TIC1C is hi-rcliy uivi'n that tlio "X.ui'a." ."Anna l.i'iili," " Miiuliliird."

J. de Lauiurc, relative to his idea of next year's prospects.on his P.oulder creek property, was severely criticised. From the criticism il is evident lhat the writer has very little knowledge of tbe mining possibilities of this district, particularly with icgaid to its hydraulic possibilities, when he questions the probability of obtaining 540,000a month from the ground. We might mention instances without number where men have taken out from 50 to 150 and as high as 200 ounces from a week's .sluicing with, pick and shovel, on , this and other creeks in the district, why then, doubt $40,000 a month, when a ' thousand times more gravel can be washed by hydraulic means, and especially with such a plant as Mr. .de Lamare has installed upon his property. Furthermore, some forty men were working on Boulder last '���-easou ��� a very short one-���������and took out over $100,000 lor the sea: sou's operations. Tlie pay chaii- nel now exposed on Mr. de Lamare's properly has shown values from $5 to $50 per cubic yard, and the estimate given by him is locally considered conservative. For a County:Court" Judge. The chums of the' district for a Resident County Court Judge have again been laid before the proper authorities by the B..ard of Trade, and a very strong letter was drafted aud copies forwarded to each of the following, the Minister of Justice, Ottawa, G. R. Maxwell, M. 1\ the Attorney - General, Victoria, and to the Boards of Trade of Vancouver, Victoria aud New Westminster. Tbe following are a few of the pertinent points of the communication: "We have always been told that the' matter would receive ' serious consideration.* The time has arrived when it requires more than ' serious consideration.' " Regarding the laxity in the enforcement of the mining laws and the opportunities open for "jumpers," the letter says: " Much litigation in consequence ensued which drove capital from the camp already there and effectually deterred other, which would have come in, from seeking investment in our mines, both placer, hydraulic and quartz. Tlie question., probably will be asked, How much legal work is transacted in the district ? but we would point put that the life' and progress;'of the district'.depends,on the immediate settlement of all disputes and mining questions, and difficulties, which are naturally arising daily, throughout the year. . . . We would ask that prompt action * be taken in this essential matter and- that ii be not merely placed 611 the shelf of ' serious'consideration.'''

They thus became a party to tbe crime of disregarding ihe treaty or modus vivendi that placed the Provisional. Boundary line at the Summit, twenty-one miles from Skagway, showing their disregard for law and justice and at the same time in the most public way . possible, ' insulting every American citizen. 1 "To fight an unscrupulous and greedy corporation successfully is no small task, even if fighting on the side of justice and right. These test cases will probably be appealed to the higher courts. We are undertaking a public service in uprooting a public wrong and ask all persons interested, either from personal motives or otherwise, to unite with us in this work.

All we need is truth, courage aird common sense. Trulh to stand upon, courage .to stiike and common sen.se to direct the.blows. Tlie question of what amounts to "reasonable ch.'irges'" will depend upon tbe cost of construction of ihe road, cost of operation, amount of business done and interest upon its bonds as proved at the tiials. The following communication ,was received from a Skagway at- Monies' who has made a name for himself in lluit town. Ceoige Melvin Miller is ins name, and he it was who figured so prominently in that breach of International etiquette by - pulling down the Canadian flag above tlie Customs oflice in Skagway, and'upon which "patriotic" act he still gloats, as will be seen by an extract from .the clipping enclosed with his letter.

From the clippings referred lo, which have gone the rounds of Lhc- Skagway press,, we quoie the fol- Jowiug Irum the pen ol .Mr. Miller: "The laud un' which the W. P. ���& Y- Ry is built is still ours, belonging to the people who bought it from Russia. The railroad coni- ���pany has not paid one dollai for il or .for its exclusive use and occupation. A mihoad . built on puDlic laud is a public highway.. "This company has not only taken and occupied without consideration the only available pass through the mountains, but it took from the public domain also without consideration .���much of/the material of which this road is built. "The charges on this road heretofore made and now in force as published, amount to "nothing less than outrageous robbery. They have taken our own property without consideration and are using it rob us of what little we have left. ���" Amerioan citizens are sovereign on American soil. No set of men controlled -by aliens, whether organized .uiuler the name of tho. burden the business with costs and "oyalties, that make profit impossible, even with ,very rich ground. At the same time, Russians do very well with these same'' placers when milling on their cwn account."!'hey ate good prospectors, and confine their kisses to prospecting., not mining any ground that will not pay extraction costs." "The discoverer of-gold ulacer iu Silwria has the right lo locale one vcrst���35C0 feet���of surface on discovery. He is not, however,' permitted lo mine this at once, but must apply to the Governor-General at Irkoutsk for a.survey, for which he must deposit a sum equal to about $150. This survey is made by a Government mining engineer, and the applicant, who has the right to prospect meanwhile, must select one-fourth of one square verst from���the full area he has located, lo which his claim is1 thereafter limited. When the survey .is completed and. filed he is. granted the right to mine under the supervision of a Government engineer, whom he must pay. It happens, usually, that not less thaiv two years are required between the date of discovery ar.d the granting of the right to mine. In this country a miner would figure ou working out his claim in,less time." l''OK Photographs Ol" Alaska, Yukon and ; Nortliern B.C.

Russia is perfectly willing to have the foreign capital, but only permits it iii Russian companies, and reserves the control to Russians. The. Government,-mine owners and people have absurdly exaggerated ideas as to the value of the;r placers, ane extravagant and incompetent iu .-management, and Mining-Hints* In shooting down holes in mine blasting, as a substitute for tamping aud a modification of the method of loading that successful ��� use has demonstrated lo be an improvement, consists in the use of water. Tlie hole, after being thoroughly cleaned out is filled with water. The paper wrapping of the powder sticks is removed and the powder is dumped into tbe water and sinks through it to the bottom of the hole. The primer is put in and the paper then is pushed through the water till in contact with the powder. So loading, the powder charge is compacted in the bottom of the hole, the strongest part; and a charge that, loaded the ordinary dry way would fill 20 inches depth oTtlie hole is compacted into 8 or to. The water does not seem lo affect the explosive power of the powder, and its position at the bottom of the hole adds to its power for breaking the rock. In grading a water ditch it is not necessary to increase the grade in going around bends. A slight widening accomplishes tlie same purpose. Tlie maximum grade that can safely be given depends tip'.'ii the quantity of water and the nature of the ground in which, the excavation is made. Generally the grade should be such as to give a mean velocity of 3 or 4 feet per second. 7".IRKLAND HOTEL, K V1RST 'STREET,' AT-LIN. j.
