BREMEN, March 21.-After long-con-
tinued anxiety regarding the fate of
the White Star line freight steamer
Naronic, which sailed from Liverpool,
February II, for New York, and which
had not since been heard of, intelli-
gence has been received showing be-
yond any doubt that the vessel is lost.
The British steamer Coventry, Capt.
Wilson, from Fernandina, February
10, has arrived at this port She re-
ports that at o'clock in the morning
of March 4, when in latitude AZ north,
Longitude 46 west, she pissed life
boat pa inted white, bearing the name
''Naronic." The boat was floating
keel upward. At . o'clock in the after
noon OF the same day another life boat
from the Naronic was passed. This
boat gave evidence of having encoun-
tered heavy weather The mast and
oars of the lfc-boat had been lashed
together and attached to the painter,
and then thrown overheard as sea
anchor to keep the boats head up to
the wind and sea. Judging from APP
pearances neither of the boats had been
long adrift. The position of the drift
ing boats was south by west of Sable
island, on the banks of Newfoundland
There is a bare chance that the oc-
cupants of the boats were picked up by
passing vessel.

The Naronic's Boats.

BREMEN, March 21.-Capt Wilson,
the commander of the Coventry, states
that he was not able to plainly de-
cipher the name on the first lifeboat
passed by the steamer, though there is
no doubt in his mind that it was the
''Naronic. The boat being capsized
rendered the reading Of the name al
most impossible, as the letters could
only be seen when the ends of the boat
were thrown clear out of the water.
When the Coventry came u with the
second lifeboat the name was plainly
discernible. This second boat was
half-filled with water. Its appearance
led Capt. Wilson to believe that its oc-
cupants had been taken on board some
vessel, after which the boat was cast
adrift.

Our Eur City Letter


All, or nearly all, of the old-tim-
ers are placer mining, and we only
see their smiling faces about once
week, when they come to town
to keep the Sabbath day holy, re-
plenish their larder and enquire
for "The Letter that Never came"
The country is filling up with
strangers, some going prospecting
and others looking for work. 1t is
the old story of the new mining
camp, or an influx of labor before
the arrival of the necessary capital
The mines are here to give employ
ment to several thousand men, but
capital will have to be literally ex-
pended before the claims can be
put on a paying or self-sustaining
basis. As an instance, take the
Red River Mining co.'s enterprise.
1t cost this company upwards of
$4,000 before they commenced
taking out money but now that
they have got to work and over
come the little difficulties that al
ways attend new, and particularly
unknown enterprises, we find they
make a net profit of $50 per day
for every day they work. Now,
not counting the wear and tear OF
the machinery, and allowing them
200 working days we find that
they clear 100000 each year. Ger
tainly this looks like pretty fair
interest ON $4,000. Now, this is
only one claim, and Elk City basin
holds scores of others just as good
besides her quartz bonanzas, which
in themselves, when fully develop
ed, are enough to make a camp the
rival of any in the whole north
west. AS / said before, the work
is here, but capital will have tc
come in first.
E. w. Grey is working three men

claim, the Triumph, which is a bo-
nanza in itself, on which he in.
tends to do considerable develop.

winter.
C.L. Rice, J. A. McAuslen and r
w. Brownell are sinking shaft on
the Rice claim on Blackfoot hill tc
tap the deep ground, and if the
prospects justify it they will work
this claim on pretty extensive
scale the balance of the season.
A.C.McLean is piping on Buffalo
hill and reports very fair prospect
Harrington & DonOhue are clean
idg bedrock ON Donohue gulch and

Sam Dillinger came in from Dixie
last week and brought some rock
from the Dillinger lode that fairly
glistens with gold. This last strike
was made at the head of the tunnel
where he has been working the las
few weeks. Mr.. Dillinger is highly
elated over his good fortune, anC
well he may, for they are, without
doubt, the finest pieces of gold rocl
that has been uncovered in the
camp, altho' nobody knows wha
may be shown up when the othel
claims are thoroly prospected.
Keep your eye on Elk the com

or how rich the ore that will b,
