There are no data to hand on which to form a correct estimate of the output,but that it will exceed last year's there is no reason to doubt. Creek miners, on the whole, have done much better, and it is safe to'put tlie season's output at , considerably over a million dollars. , Work lias, been plentiful al .good rates���$5 a day���aud eveiy man , has had the. option of working a claim for what there is in it or accepting wages.

Quite a number of creek claims are "about worked, out, a;-.d the benches, from now on, will receive their proper share of attention. On Spruce creek alone there arc benches which 'will give profitable employment to hundreds of men, winter , and summer," for many years to come. In fact, the working out of '��� the creeks is only a preliminary matter, as it were. There is no - element of stability in Ihem as there is in ' other" branches of mining, their'producing existence being necessarily a matter of a k\\ short years only.

Nowhere, perhaps, in this large' constituency' should there be a louder cry for a labor candidate than in our'mining, lumbering aud fishing camps, where brawn and brain (especially the former) alone can contend with the stupendous difficulties that are hidden away in forest, mines and sea. If this country is anything, it is a mining country, yet not one single effort is made by either the Ottawa or Provincial governments to in any way enlighten or educate the people on the formation .or mineralogy of the country by establishing a school of mines, whereby the average prospector would be abie to roughly tell what he had found without being put to the useless expense of a professional assayer. Legislation of this kind would be .iu the interests of labor and a real benefit to the country. But as it was iu the days of Noah, so will ii continue, so long as we send to Parliament men wlio place party first, while the demands of labor receive a secondary, consideration. The great Irouble is that the Opposition want to occupy the G over, men t benches, while the Government ���" f the day, in order to retain their positions, have to pander lo corporations and grant s, ecial privileges to their' supporters.

REYNOLDS V. SINCLAIR. This case came up before the Stipendiary Magistrate last Saturday and involved a poiutof considerable public interest, namely the inviolability of caches. The plaintiff whipsawed some lumber near Surprise Lake last season, and cached, as he claims, about 1300 feet near the mouth of Wright creek. Returning .in the spring he found the lumber missing- and shortly afterwards found some of it i,: the possession ��f defendant, who did not deny having'taken it, giving' as a' plea that he considered it an abandoned cache, aud offered to pay for iooo- feet .which he claimed was the total amount, at mill cost, which was $30. Mr. Reynolds refused the. offer aud brought action, claiming the price paid for whipsawn lumber at that period. The case resolved itself{ into one of larceny, however lion-! orable the intention of the defen-1 dant, and the court adjourned to give the disputants an opportunity to settle it outside, which was done.

There has been some talk of,a gold strike this week on Silver Salmon, ' in the Teslin district. Three men were reported to have brought in about $1,500 last Saturday frctrn the rew .diggings. As the new camp is somewhat over a hundred miles from here and winter is close at hand, there is not likely to be any rush at present. Mrs. Durie has taken oyer the management of the Vancouver restaurant and all giving her a call will be sure to call again. As a cook she takes the bun. The, Arctic Brotherhood Hall on Second street will be sold by the sherifF,>at to o'clock on Monday to satisfy a judgment obtained in the Supreme Court by the Atlin Lake Lumber Co. against Jennings and Noyes, the absentee owners. Mr.' Eric Halverson's artificial loot has at last arrived and been fitted on by Dr. Lewis. It is a fine piece of mechanism and with a little practice, Eric will get around in great form. The Graham creek' rush a couple of weeks ago is now generally pronounced a fake and the so-called diggins is nearly deserted. One or two parties .' re barely making wages with sluice boxes. J., Broder, who lost nearly his all in the late fire, , has concluded to seek fresh scenes and pastures new. He left on Tuesday's boat. The fire relief committee granted him a donation of $150, which will enable him to to return to his wife and children in Washington. Mr. Durie is building a new store next door to tlie Kirkland Hotel, his .present one of canvas having to come down in accordance with the fire regulations. The Pioneer Bakery is having an addition made to tho kitchen to meet the ever-growing trade. Brown & Sinclair are building a large number of scows on speculation. The \V. V & Y. Railway gave them an order for five this week, but- it could not be accepted owing to shortness of lime allowed iu which lo complete them. The Mike King Company will establish a camp of 15 men on their limber limit at Taku this winter. George Eindlay returned from Taku on Wednesday where he has been very busy for the last two months. During that time he has rel uilt the steamer Lorelei, also a round h >use foi the Taku Railway. He left again on Friday for Ben ueit lo caulk ��cows for the Mike King Co. at $u per day. Mr. Eindlay says carpenters are iu de- niiind at Beir.'ell for scow-building and that $8 a day,is now the cur- .rent rate of wages for capable men. .All the sawmills, aud private -parties besides, are building scows \vith feverish energy. They find a rc-idy and profitable sale at Bennett and White Horse from- whence thev go dow. the Yukon never to return. After ore trip there they are sold for the Inn ber there is in them. The amountof money brought into Atlin hy ihe building and sale of scows this summer must be very considerable and tlie trade as yet is only in its infancy. The White"Bass and Yukon Railway Co. sre calling: for :oo men aud 20 pilots to man, scows .from White"Horse to Dawson. Captain Morrison's new steamer, the Blair Athol, made her first experimental trip on Thursday. She only' used a pressure of 50 lbs. in- slead'of the 120 she is entitled to use and answered all requirements handily. The captain .reports her good for fully to knots and says that there will be no scareilv. of work for her so long as the lake remains open. Her first charter is for a run down to the copper mines < this evening. Mr. Wollaston and family are moving shortly into more commodious premises on Discovery street. The kissing bug has struck town sure enough. Several of our citizens have been going round lately with lips a full-blooded Ethiopian might,well envy. The victims so far have been men, which is a good thing for the ladies, but shows.,the bug to be.an animal of low and depraved taste and possessed of but little discernment. If we were a kissing bug we would do better, but then we ain't. In McFeely's hardware store on First -street can be seen a very ingeniously put together locomotive engine and goods train. The whole thing is composed of common articles for sale in the store, and the result achieved, considering the material employed, is quite striking. Archie Browulee is the designer and constructor and deserves great credit for his ingenuity. Captain Thompson, the arbitrator for Mr. Johnson in the arbitration case of Johnson versus the .Atlin and Willow Creek Gold Mining Co., left for Pine on Thursday to attend the arbitration. ; Messrs. Mason aud Jenns, solicitors for the plaintiff, went with him. We understand that offers of settlement are pending and ' that meantime matters have been postponed until to-day. Saturday. We understand that the outgoing mail on Tuesday per the .Scotia was by some unaccountable oversight not delivered to '.he Gleaner at Taku.
