M. P. Freeman, agent of the Nam m oth Company, has received cable instructions from the company in London to begin the work of putting the shaft on the mines in working condition. This means the enlarging of this shaft, which is now down to the 500 foot level, from a single to double compartment, and while no information other than the cable to be- gin this work has been received, Mir. Freeman has every reason to believe this means the early resumption of work on large scale and the building of reduction works at the mines according to the plans upon which the company has been at work for so long time.
 Mir. Freeman expects early mail advices with full information, and in the meantime has given instructions to Andy Collins, who is in charge of the operations at the mines, to begin the work on the shaft at once.

If it should, the suggestion is made that both countries. for an agreed term of years, make the Yukon basin a tariff free zone The conditions of life are hard enough there at the best, and Government policy should be directed to Tightening the burdens of miners to the largest possible extent. Till the country builds up it's industries the admission of Canadian goods to our portion of the Yukon basin, either overland or by the river, could be duty free, and the corresponding priv ilege could be extended to American goods in the Canadian portion of the Yukon basin The conditions are such at the present time that Canadian goods to enter it's own territory must cross our territory, and our goods tor our section ot the basin, excep. by the river route, must cross Canadian territory. These conditions create annoyanees and veXa tious charges that benefit neither Gov ernment, nor the citzpns of either The extraordinary conditions j1stiiy extra. ordinarv action It will be good business policy for he action to take the form suggested, the forma ton of the Yukon basin into tarjff-free zone for a term of years M X s Press
