The Skeleton of d Russian Pros. pectOr Found in the
 Atlin District.

A miner who returned on the City of Seattle brought gruesome relic which was found on his claim on Atlin lake, and which told story of death and suf- fering years ago in pursuit of gold.
 It was an old Russian musket, of the kind in use in Alaska years ago, when the Russians kept government house at Sitka. The miners found it in rude cabin on one of the wly.discOvered creeks flowing into Atlin lake Near by was the skeleton of man with the bones whitened by years of changing seasons.
 The discovery, startling in the ex- treme, was made very suddenly one morning. The miners were prospect ing stream through the woods and unexpectedly came across lonly little cabin. The door was not locked, but was stiff for want of use, and had not evidently been opened for years
 The prospectors pushed inside and found what once had been very com fortabie cabin. Lying in one corner, however, were the bones of man whitened with age. There was nothing to indicate what had caused his death.
 Sickness, accident, murder or starv- ation-any one of the grim qnartette might have been his fate. A few feet from the cabin were faint traces of old workings, which showed the man had been miner.
 The prOspector soon found the claim to be rich one, and staked after the laws of British Columbia. The skel- eton was buried near by and the man moved into the cabin. Threatening
