word of Caution.
SEATTLE, February 1st.-C. IL. Sisson ar
rived here yesterday direct from the Skagit
mines. He states that snow is from five to
six feet deep on Ruby creek. One party who
was showed in at the mines during the recent
severe weather, su6sisted for an entire month
on one meal per day, consisting of bread and
water. Another party, showed in some dis
tance beyond, at the mouth OF Panther creek,
is not vet heard from. 1t is supposed. how
ever that he is all right, as lie was we'll pro-
visioned. New .comers are constantly arriv
ing at the portage, and pushing on through
the snow across the mountain spurs TO Ruby
creek. Here nearly all of the available
claims have been located, many of them be-
ing stalled out at random il the snow. Pros
pectors arc at work in many instances
digging through five feet of Snow TO reach
the surface ground. Sisson, who went
into the mines late last fall, after most
other miners had left. brings bacll 800 in coarse
canyon gold, which he claims chat lie panned
out at various points for fifteen miles up and
down Ruby creek. He further states that no
work can be done in the mines till the latter
part of April and that it Ia folly for parties to
attempt to go in before that time.
This city was lighted for the first time on
Friday evening with gas made from Silagit
river coal All the coal heretofore used FOX
gas has been brought from Nanaimo.
The rash from California aud other por
tons OF the coast for the Skagit mines still
continues. Such rush, however, is prems-

UNSUCCESSFUL ENGAGEMENT. r. Ma
Suire's engagement of the variety troupe.
including the Davenes, closed at the Metro
politan Theater Saturday evening. The en-
gagement, Ike that managed by Wilson.
Bassett & Welles, of the preceding week. was
disastrous failure. Maguire's venture was
so complete wreck at the end of the week
that his agents here were compelled to sus-
pend payment in part, and have gone to San
Francisco to procure the means necessary to
discharge their liabilities and say thew will
return and pay up this week. The first en-
gagement was that of sterling stock COM
pany, with John E. Owens as leading man,
and new and old comedies as the attractions.
The second embraced gymnastic, acrubatic,
ballet and semi-minstrel people. Both troupes,
IN their lines, were good. Both adhered to
the old prices; both made financial failures
Inc reasons assigned by the theatrical people
are, the uncomfortable character of the audi
forum, inability to make the house warm,
the heavy charge for rental, licenses, etc, the
latter being $ll per night alone. The nom
theatrical people, on the other hand, admit
these complaints in part, but add that the
stage, IN It's old, worn drapery, is not only
unattractlve, but from familiarity is repulSive,
and destroys the effect of the finest picture
