ports were brought into town of capital placer discoveries northwest of Tcslin. The discoveries were made by prospect ors for Frank Calbreath, storekeeper at Glenora, and Wright, who keeps a store at Teslin. The last named at tached so much importance to the find that although the season is advanced he abandoned his business and has gone in to verify the reports. The new placer beds are about half way between Teslin and Atln. and their rsported richness has caused quite a sensation at Wran- gel and Glenora.
 Another matter which is agitating the village of Glenora is the effort be- ing made to have the pOstotfice and custom house, which have hitherto been situated at that place, transferred to the Hudson's Bay post, about a mile further down the river. A petition is being circulated praying the depart- ment not to make the chrage, and this petition was brought out by Mr, Rose and will be forwarded to Ottawa. l is addressed to Jno. McDougall, of the customs department at Ottawa, and sets forth that the Hudson's Bay com pany's post is made up of only one store and few warehouses, while Glenora is the natural position for the offices, hay ing twenty-one places of business, be- sides living houses. It further states that Glenora is situated on sweep of the river, which forms an eddy. atford ing quiet landing for d number of steamboats, a point of great impol tancc in river so swift and treacherous as the Stikccn. The landing, it is further stated, is a gradual slope, easy of ac- cess, while at the Hudson's Bay post the banks are steep and adrupt. Final ly the great cost of transporting goods mile over bad roads from the custom house if established here is urged as a conclusive reason why the step, if seri ously, contemplated should be aban- doned The petition is signed by ? business houses, including Calbreath, the Alaska Mining Co.,. the K. NJ. T. X T. Co. and others
 The remainder of the Alaska Com pany's party are wintering at Wrangel and Glenora, and in January they will be rejoined by Mir. Rose, who will take in, via Wrangel, modern appliances for developing the placers and also for the quartz propositions. So great is his faith in the district that he says that in q few years it will be regarded as one of the greatest mining countries in the world. Victoria ri ncs.

Ice Cream Social.

The social given by the Ladeis' Aid Society on Thursday evening was sue cess, socially, morally and financially. By eight o'clock the hall was filled with old and young all bent on having good time, and none went away disappointed.
 Dr. Campbell. as master of ccremon- ies, was the right man in the right place. The programme consisted of songs. in- strumental music and recitations The audience showed their appreciation by repeated encores.
 Tables were scattered throughout the hall and as soon as the programme was finished the members of the society be- gan to serve ice cream, cOtf ee and cake. of which there was an abundance. An hour or two was spent in social talk.
 The ladies gave Mr. Bloomhardt d vote of thanks to which Mr. B. replied in signs as he was too bashful to make speech. The ladies, one and all. work ed hard to make it a success and they accomplished their object. Their next entertainment will be an Old-fashsioned tea-meeting of which due and timely no- tice will be given and the public can rest assured of getting their moneys worth.

A RICH NoRTHLAND !
Returning Miners from the Teslin- Atlin Country are Satisfied of
 Its Richness.
A Big Company Which Will Undertake Extensive Work
 Next Summer.

There is remarkable cOnsensu. of opinion among those who have of late come out from the Omineca and Cassiar countries in regard to the rich ness of these regions. and the belief that another season will witness mar vicious development in the district in- dicated. This is perhaps accounted for by the fact that those who came out ear Her in the year were men who had made only perfunctorv eXaminat'O on of the country, and many of whom had not prOspected outside of a radions of five miles from Glenora or Telegraph, and were waiting at these points for some strike to be made by some more industrious miner. The latest arrivals here. for the most part have been men who have systematically prospected the region for companies of which they are the representatives Among them is Mr. J. H. Rose. manager of the Alaska Mining and Commercial Co.,. who arriv- ed in the city this morning on his way home to Fargo, N. D., where he will spend q couple of months with his fam ily He brought out only one of his par ty, who pushed on this morning to Min neapolis in response to telegram tell ing him of the serious illness of his daughter.
 Mir. Rose is spending few days at hn nj hnfn1 ln in, on his homeward journey. He took in sixteen men over the Ashcroft trail this summer, together with forty-nine head of horses. The party had a fearful ex- perience on that road. and whereas it had been represented to them that the journey would consume only 35 days, the expedition was four months in reaching the cOmpany's store at Glen ora. When they at last reached the Stikeen river they had but one horse left, and had discarded their outfits. be- ing thankful to reach civilization again with their lives.
 But Mr. Rose does not dwell upon this experience, trying as it was, but rather upon the almost phenomenal luck which attened the efforts of the com pany when they finally were free to ex- anime into the mineral resources of the district. "By next July" he said, I've will create a big stampede to that coun- try.' Not only did they find rich gold bearing quartz in Cassar, but they found placer beds of marvellous wealth. One of Roses men found a stream from which in four days he alone washed l9 ounces of gold. The closing in of win ter prevented any further prosecution of the work but other placers were dis covered which it is believed will prove equally rich. Mr. Rose would not say where the diggings were located, more than that they could not be reached save by way of the Stikeen river and Teslin road. This, he says, is now magnificent road, and he thinks the building of a railroad from Glenora to Teslin would result in the immediate operation of number of quartz claims upon which assessment work has alredy been done.
 It is exactly two weeks since Mir. Rose left GlenOra, and on that day re-

Unqucnchablc.

My love is like the dewy rose She wears upon her breast; Her breath is like the wind that blows Balm laden from the vest Her smiles are like the sunlight shed On weveets as they roll, And like the blue sky overhead, Her purity of soul. Her generous thoughts are like the rain That falls on high and low Her kindly gifts to age and pain None but the wretched know. Her sympathies are broad as day And starry as the night; And when there $ darkness on the way Her presence sheds light! Such were my thoughts when love was young But now. when love is old, Each fancy of my pen or tongue Is silver turned to gold. wooed her in the morn of life, Ere yet by sorrow tried. And now cherish her as wife More than loved as bride

and at times somewhat feveriSh for
tho rest of the day.
Manhattan jumped SIS above par on

are extreme examples of what was go
ing on to a less extent throughout the
list. Movements of individual stocks
were very erratic, and the market was
| excessively irregular Meanwhile the
railroad lists were rather sluggish and
resisted the depression in the special
ties except for a few stocks. The pro-
cess of relief of the New York money
| market was continued today by furth-
er large engagements of gold from Lon
