The Gold Commissioner, we are informed, received word to the effect that the whole matter was left entirely in his hands, to open it or leave it closed as he ' saw fit. Mr.' McKinnon, one of the delegation,' states that he asked Mr. Hume, Minister of Mines, whether he had been advised by Mr. Graham to continue the close season. He replied in the negative,- ' adding .that Mr.' Graham had advised against doing so Finding < themselves in a tight fix they now throw the* whole responsibility o 1 Mr. Graham. Cojld anything bt: more contemptible or more cowardly. First'they take from the Gold Commissioner the powers given him by 'the Placer, Mining" act, at the instance of their heelers*- (As to the legality of this the doctors of the law disagree.) Then when they find they have brought a storm of wrath down upon their heads they turn and 'throw the "responsibility of opening the season within five days upon the Gold Commissioner.

By united action on their part much might be done that would be of great benefit to the district. Premier Green way of Manitoba has promised the people of that province prohibition if they will give him another lease of power. From what is known of the legislators of Manitoba it is to be feared that "awful thirst" will never permit them to commit such an act of folly. But then it is an ante-election promise, you know. A MAMMOTH EXCURSION TO ATLIN' SUGGESTED. ISnrroH CriAl\t:l~Sir,���It must bo satisfactory to all well-vviiliors of Atlin district to observe that tho reputation of tho camp on tho outside is beginning to recover from tin- effect of the us.-iaultx made upon it by people who left here in a dissatisfied statu of mind some f��\v weeks back. These people denounced the district ai "no good" fr-im a mining standpoint .mil th<��sn denunciation1. ��ere scattered broadcast in ,tln* oiifsirlo press". That thf.se disappointed people spoke u hat they believed to be true may be admitted, but they spoke in ignorance, for at that time the minimi-, capabilities of the district had not been testod, and the shameful offi- ���ial drawback-,'under which the c.i.np l.ib- o'ri"it w'fre sufficient to dishearten almost- any man. l But to-d.��y the conditions are different, .iud I am s.ifo in s'tyiug that there i. mo'"man who kno.vsithe conditions in the oiines. and i. aware of tlira success thnt is being so sfotiuiiiliy tiMt in gold-gotting in the di-.triet, but b"lieves tfi.it, Atlin lias a long period of steady_aiid strong prosperity before it. Its success From a mining standpoint is now beyoMil question. Tlie remaining mouths of the present Vear will show most satisfactory results, and mpjU year will undoubtedly be a year of gn>at activity and prosperity. ��� ������ The opinion1 (if the outside world ���thanks mainly to the letters of some good press correspondents here���is being improved as to Atlin, as I have said, and no effort should be lost to completely retrieve the good name of the camp. With this object in view I am going to suggest that the enterprising people of this city should consider the advisability of organizing a mammoth excursion of mining and business men _ to the district from the outside this fall. I believe it could easily be mado successful, because the transportation ^companies ou' the coast as well as in the interior here would "uo'doubt 'gladly co-operate to make it so. What more charming excursion could be planned than a September trip up the coast, and over the White Pass Railway and connecting steamers to Atlin! If a sufficiently low fare could, be obtained (and I believe it could) hundreds would come simply for the pleasure of the thing, while still hundreds -uiore would come on business bent. And it is, of course, these latter that we specially want. In September our mines vv ill bo showing up better than ever, and the weather will be delightful. Let some of Atlin's best men get together at once and push this thin? along. Wjt. HaI��jT,IE. Atlin, B.

To the Editor of the Claim: Dear Sir���In your paper ot July 1st you state that hotels under canvas rooLi have had to close down. How is it thpy are allowed to do business here still. Notices were s-ei ved on proprietors of hotels here early in the year notifying owners if they did not have wooden buildings by June 1st thej would be closed.** One hotel here complied with the law und there became a fixture. The others did not and as a consequence have been able to move over to the depot of the jerk-water line and start new hotels under canvas, as business has moved to that locality. At present they are allowed to conduct business under canvas with impunity, bo that it is much the best to take no notice whatever of such orders. This is particularly the case If you are prepared to graft some one of the .Martin grafters who are dispensing tho law in those parts. Ohhkkveh. Log Cabin, July II, ISOfl.
