Finally, after what seemed hours, he managed to burrow up and out of the snow, which must have been at least seven feet over him. Weak and exhausted he managed to stagger to his cabin, when he discovered, to his surprise, that it was past midnight.

The District Honored. Dr. PL E. Young, member for the Atlin district, was, Wednesday last, sworn in as Provincial Secretary, in the cabinet of the McBride administration. This is an honor conferred on the district and also an honor to that gentleman who has so ably and efficiently represented us in the House during the last session. The Doctor will be a strong man in the cabinet. His thorough knowledge of the affairs of state is well known. With such associates as McBride, Ross, Fulton and Tatlow ive rest assured that the affairs of state will be conducted in a thoroughly business-like manner. The rights of the banner province of the west will be looked after aud the interests of every individual within its boundaries guarded and protected , Our member, the Hon. H. E. Young, will appeal to the district Tor re-election. There is only one sensible course to pursue. And that is���elect him by acclamation. By doing this harmony and accord will be preserved aud the little differences- of opinion will be buried now to exist why Dr. Young's re-election should be, opposed, especially in view of the fact that the conservatives have control of provincial affairs. . (Signed) E. M. N.' Woods. ���*����..��� The Star happens once a week at Whilehorsc. We publish a clipping from this, same happening. To wit: A letter of thanks from Captain John Irving to his supporters in the Atlin district during ' the late election. Our reasons' For publishing the letter emanate from good-nature and generosity. The .Star does not shine very brightly in this district, and its circulation is weak. Few people would have a chance lo read the letter. So, on that account we print it, that everybody will have a chance to peruse same. -It.quotes the .Captain as saying he was barred from the columns of Tin* Claim. - This is an untruth. Captain Irving, in the presence of his own followers, was told that he might ��� use the columns of Tub Claim any time, over his signature. And as for other liberals wishing to use the columns of the paper, and being refused, there was one���a fellow named, Reid. His letter was a long, garrulous, mis-spelt, and tiresome rigmarole, with neither pith nor point. It was sent back to the writer with a request to 'boil it down* and attend to its needs grammatically. Life is too short to waste lime on garbled and illiterate effusions from disgruntled individuals who have sour stomachs and a bad taste' in the mouth���aud who look the part. Captain John has a 'kick coming' alright, but not at Tub Claim nor at those who opposed him. No one .appreciates being rooked and the Captain had it 'handed to him' SJ In the Iron Store formerly occupied by Stables & Lumsden.

We are indebted to Mr. Geordie Coutts for the following verses describing beautifully a convivial gathering of men from the land o' the thistle and the bluebell. The author's name we do not know. If you chance to strike a gathering of half-a-dozen friends, Where the drink is Highland whiskey, or chosen 'Border blends'; And the room is full o' 'speirin' and the grippin1 o' brown ban's, And the talk is all of tartans, and of plaidies and of clans. .You can take things douce and easy, you can judge you're going right, For you've had the luck to tumble on 'a wee Scotch night.' When you're pitchforked in among them in a sweepin' sort o' way, As 'anither mon an' brither' from the Tweed or from the Tay. When you're taken by the oxter and you're couped into a chair, 7 While someone slips a whisky in your tumbler���unaware.' Then the present seems less dismal and the future fair and bright, For you've struck earth's grandest treasure, in 'a guid Scotch night.' When you hear a short name shouted and the same one shouted back Till you think, in the coufuson, that they've all been christened 'Mac' When you see a red beard flashing in the corner by the fire And a giant on the sofa who stands six-foot three, or higher, Before you've judged the color and before you've guaged the height You'll have jumped at the conclusion, it's 'a braw Scotch night.' When the red man iu the corner puts his strong voice to the proof As he gives 'ihe hundred pipers' and the chorus lifts the roofs;- * When a 'chicT sings 'Annie Laurie' with its tender, sweet refrain Till the tears are on the eyelids;��� and Ihe drinks come round again. When they chant the stirring war songs that would make the coward fight, Then you're fairly in the middle of 'a braw Scotch night.' When the plot begins to thicken and the band begins to play, When every local chieftan has a word or.two to say, When they'd sell a Queensland station for a sprig of native heath, When one 'Mac' is on the table and a couple underneath. When half of them are sleeping and the whole of them ,'are tight, You'll know that you're assisting ' at 'a (hie) Scotch night.' When the last big bottle's empty, and the dawn creeps grey and cold, f When the last clan tartan's folded, and the last big lie is told, When they totter down the footpath in a brave unbroken line To the peril of the passer and the air of Auld Lang Syne, You can tell the folk at breakfast as they watch the fearsome sight, They've only been assisting at 'a braw Scotch.night.'

SATURDAY, , MARCH 2 1 907 Wind/ Arm Prospects. The Skai-way Alaskan publishes :<p interview with Mr. Fred U011- Vi'iidorf, of Conrad, as follows: The Windy Arm district is very ri h and will be one of the'great -n'-neral producers of the world: The work that has been done on it this winler proves thai beyond the shadow of a doubt. "The Venus', the Vault, tlie��Big Thing" and ihe Dalton properties" arc all rich and all of them will make mines of ;;reat value. They have been' developed to a point where that is assured. ''About the middle of January '.he men working on the Venus struck an ore body 4.0 feet wide- iu the lower tunnel, aud it is richer than anyone ever honed to find it. This is the vein that was looked for last fall, and thc failure to reach it for a very long time made some men' skeptical as to the final outcome of the property's final d.e'vel-. opment. "Ore is. being sacked 011 the Venus now for shipment belpw. *I,l 'will be hauled lo Cariboo aud sent over the raih;oad. This will go on the remainder of the winter and aiext summer. ''That the Big Thing is rich is evidenced by the fact that some men who know what il contains Ir-icd to get a lay on.il recently and were refused. They were willing to expend their own money and lake chances on thc results. "The nioi": work there is done on ihc Vault the belter it looks. Tt is a splendid propeity. "The Toochi and Whealon river countries arc prospecting well, and conservative mining men believe they will both develop into, producing mining districts. The boys who are working in the Whealon country have been pursuing a stringer which was only two inches wide at thc surface I.L is now two feel wide. Thev are making a shipment of ore outside aud it will yield ��100 a ton. mil the defence to put in evidence as to W'liile's conduct with oilier women. If his general 'character can be shown to be that ofa man. who would probably do what Mrs.. Thaw accuses him of having done, 'il will be corroborative of her testimony. It is said that thc defense has many witnesses lo prove that White has ruined other giils than Evelyn Mesbil. One of the strongest witnesses on- -this���point will, be Anthony Coin- stock of the anti-vice society, who has evidence of While's treating a fifteen-year-old chorus gill exactly as, Mrs. Thaw testified he ircalcd her.
