Mining Notes from Cassiar.
VICTORIA, Oct 30-The steamer Grappler,
from Wrangel, with 1874 passengers. arrived
late Saturday night. A large number of mi
ners are waiting at Wrangcl for the steamer
to fetch them to Victoria. 1t is supposed
there are 500 men yet to come down.
The weather was fine at the mines and a
large number of claims working. Several
creek claims on Dease creek were paying
well, and it is thought from prospecting that
good hill diggings exist on that creek. Several
good benches have already been discovered.
Good hill diggings have also been discovered
on Hilbert creek. Prospects on Resale
creek are encouraging and large number OF
claims will be thoroughly prospected next
season. The yield Of gold from the Cassiar
mines is not so large as last year; but they
are by no means worked out, and many OF
the old hands will return next season.
