Late and Discouraging Mining News
Nothing Heard from the Shieffe-
lin Brothers.

Victoria (B. C) Daily Colonist, June g.
Mr.. John Davis, an old and experien-
ced miner, who arrived on the Sardo.
nyx yesterday from Wrangel, describes
the mines at Harrisburg as offering but
little encouragement to miners. He says
there are only few men working on
Douglas Island, about three miles from
Harrisburg, and they are taking out an
inconsiderable quantity of gold. Seven
miles back from Harrisburg, over the
coast range of mountains, is large ba
sin about ten miles in extent, but at pres
ent unavoidable, many claims being COW
cred with snow to the depth of sixty
feet. Last year nothing was taken out
of these diggings to justify any ex.
citement; in fact the general features
of the coast land are not such as
would make an old miner call it n
mineral bearing county. There are
few spots where gold in fair quantities
may be found; but there is no such thing
as paying gravel. Old Cassiar miners,
many of whom are up at Harrisburg, are
not even attempting to locate claims
there, as they have no faith in these
diggings, but are merely changing ON, 1"
so to speak, in the hopes OF hearing
news from Takou, in which many have
great faith in consequence OF the mineral
belt, which enriched so many at Carl.
boo, passing through this great tract of
country. There are about 400 miners at
Harrisburg, many of whom will doubt
less return. Very few men are at

business. The report that was spread
in January last, that courier
from Schieifelin Brothers had been
sent overland from Takou to Sitka,
is entirely discredited at that place,

Hair-Spiitting.

Very interesting questions arise at
times among the Good Templars, and
other kindred societies, in respect of
what is, or what is not, an infringement
of the pledge which, we are informed, is
usually exacted from members of such
associations. A case of this kind re.
Gently came before n Justice of the
Peace at New Haven. A certain Mr..
Mohan, of that city, sued st. Patrick S
Temperance Society for pecuniary aid
to which he claimed to be entitled, be.
cause Of Illness. 1t seems that Mr.,
Mohan, at some time during the past
Autumn, was seized with cramps of the
stomach, and, acting upon the advice of
a good Samaritan, he swallowed, in a
strictly medicinal way, some Jamaica
ginger and brandy. The draught pro-
duced its customary good results.
Shortly afterwards Mr.. NOLAN, suffering
from relapse, resorted to the same
remedy, and was relieved once more.
But now the trouble seemed to be trans.
ferred from his physical to his moral
organization, and he laid the matter
before his brethren. The result of the
discussion was fine imposed upon the
backslider. The payment of this the
ingenious Mr.. Mohan avoided by a res.
ignation, which was followed by re.
newal of the pledge, and his reinstate
ment as a member in good standing of
the society. But he fell i'll once more,
and once more found relief in brandy
and ginger. He was i'll for several
weeks, and, on notification, a committee
of the society visited him. On his re.
coyery, Mr.. Mohan presented bill for
money due to him on account of illness.
This bill the society refused to pay, on
the ground that the pledge had been
violated. The society received uninter.
ruptedly Mr. Mohan's dues, nor did it
