Provincial Mining; Association
. Will Form Branch   in  Aclin.
Evoi-yono IiUoiested Tn The Welfare Of Tho Distiict Should
JoinAiicI Aid The Association
In Its Good Work.
Jl is intended 10 form a branch
' ofthe V. M. A. in Allin, in addition to tlie l>iaudi iu Discovei*., to
enable all those who are interested
in the mining industry to a-^isl in
promoting the objects ofthe Association.
The P. M. A. undoubtedly de-
seives the snppoit of this community. Its const it ir ion says;— "The
objects of this Association s-hall be
. to pictect, develop and Ibstei tlie
mining industry of British" Columbia in ail its branches". "Such
wot thy objects exactly coincide
with the lequiienicnts of Atlin,
aud we must not fail to continue
the work commenced by us so vig-
oiously last winter, "when a huge
number of our delegates conduced
to the succe-s of the convention,
aud to bring Allin very prominently before the mining world. It
would indeed bi liugiateful lo ignore   the   efforts   that    aic    beim?
O
made by the P. M. A. 'which represents 10,0 )0 membeiH," and which
has alieady succeeded in greatly
improving the condition of mining
affairs tlirouehour the province.
Hul it is evident that without a
small Mibsciiptiou fiom the branches the •.•.oik of the Association
cannot be adequately conducted.
The Atiin branch will not conflict with the Atliu District branch,
which Ik's its headquai ters in Discovery; but the distance is loo gieat
for Allin niembeis lo attend nieel-
i'.i-^s in Discovery (.luring the winter, and a little friendly emulation
will be good for both branches.
The Annual Membership fees for
'all branches of the Provincial .Mining Association are as follows; —
Mining Companies, $10.
Retail Merchants', Motel
and Saloon Keepers,        ■. $5- ■
All other Members, $1.
All persons friendly to the mining interests are eligible to become
.Members of this Association.
Copies of the Constitution and
By-laws may be had 011 application.
.A meeting will be held at the
Grand Hotel on Tuesday evening
next the 12th. inst. at 8 oclock and
it is to be hoped that everyone will
attend, aud support this endeavour,
which has for its object the advancement of mining, and therefore the advancement of our Camp.

Fire at Chicago Theater   Creates Terrible Panic.
A >bostos Curtain F.iiLs to .-et. Apparent Culpable Negligence
Of The Management.
Chicago:—A liic bioke out on the
stage of the Iroquois Theatre and
the asbestos fiiepioof curtain failed
lo act, the flames, fanned by t'.-.e
draught, spread to the auditoiium
Ihe res.ill biing tli .1 a terrible panic ensued in which six bundled
people lost tlitir li\es, the majoiity
of whom were trampled   to death.
The buildii g was euliiely des-
.lioyed, and the employee who was
operating the fircpioo! cm tain volunteered the statemeul'lhat he had
warned tlie management 3 ,,,eeks
previously lh.it the curtain was out
of ordei and could not be depended
upon in ease of.emeigency.
BULLION CREEL
Continued Good Reports from
the New Placer  Fields Near
Whitehorse.
On 47 below on Bullion, a man
named Johnson is averaging nine
ounces per day, from the lim along
the bench. Quite a number of
prospectors aie woiking; and all
along the line good lenoits aro
cuireut.
The Whitehorse people have
raised quite a laige sum to be used
iu aclveit'iM'ig the new placer fields,
a very commendable action aud
likely to deiive huge benefits for
the merchants and others of that
city, if judiciously done.
From Mr. Biewei's report, on
the Copper belt al Whitehorse, it
would' appear that Whitehorse
needs no "booming", and that its
Quartz alone is sufficient lo make
it quite a mining center.
Russio-Japanf-.se Crisis. Feared
at Lloyd's
War risks at Lloyd's rose to 35
guineas per cent, to the end bf
January and'45 lo the end of February. Cargo insurance j unified
from 5 to 2'0'shillings.' The owners of two-cargoes already halfway
to Japan found difficulty in effecting
insurance even at the latter rates.
Beaili Of Mr. Caplice,
One  of Montana's    Pioneers
and a   Prominent  Citizen  of
'     Butte Laid to Rest.
Many will remenibei Mi John
Caplice who visited this camp in
1901 and 1902 and regret the death
of one ofthe best fiiends a prospec-
loi cvei had.
His funeral, which took place in
Butte, was the occasion of a soleinii
conclave of Montana pioneers, who
payed homage lo their- dcpailed
fiiendjohn Caplice. "- *
Requiem solemn mass was said
a'-id all the resident and visiting
cle'igy in the Sanctuary assisted by
Bishop Biondel on his thione participated in the impressingly solemn service.
Tlie death ol Mi. John Caplice
lemoves the President of the Montana Sucietv cf Pio'nceis and leaves
a blank in tbe mining world of the
Western Slater.

Ten Stamp Mill Will be Brought In

It is the intention ofthe bondee,
if investigation pi oars satisfactory,
to erect a 10 stamp mill on the
property at once.
The mine has been worked continuously since the Nimrod Syndicate gave up their option, and from
all reports received it. locks like a
paying proposition.

The Rise and Fall.  to be the greatest hydraulic mining district en  the coast, and ihe returns from  this form of mining next season  will astonish even the most sanguine." said Mr. J. M. Ruffner of  Atlin to The Province.  .Mi. Ruffner stated that the past  seasf-.'i'i had been a very successful  O'.'.e in spite ofthe general shortage  of water experienced throughout  the \ ukon and Atlin disliicts.  Although many ofthe hydraulic  milling companies throughout   Atliu were as   \ el   only   engaged   on  development, there   was  no  doubt  of the ultimate success of the   operation-. The British-American Company    had   been   making   preparations all summer for operations  ou  a large scale, and rich returns were  promised next season.     For   main'  miles along Pine and Spi uce Creeks  development was being done   on   a  large scale with every assurance of  success.     Few  of the   companies  had reached the stage where a rich  clean-up couid be expected, but tha  returns so far had been quite  satisfactory.  In the  case  of the   Pine  Creek  Power Company alone some 535,000  had   been   spent    in    development  ���work last summer,   iu   addition   to  the initial outlay  during   the   previous year.    The returns from  last  season's   npeialions   had   paid    for  these improvements, aud   for   next  summer still further improvements,  and development work, which is lo  cost ia ihe   neighborhood  of $25,  000, are planned.    These improvements, >fr. Ruffner said, would   be  largely in the way of ensuring   an  additicual supply of  water  to  enable  operations  to   be    continued  later in the season.
