General Kitchener, whose reply was
modest and not important, gave un-
stinted praise to the British, Egyptian

UNEASINESS STILL EXISTS.
LONDON. Nov 4.-Despite the jub1-
Iation of the country over the favorable
announcement by Lord Salisbury re-
garding Fashoda at the kitchener pan
uuet. there is serious uneaSineSS as TO
the real object of continued war prep
artions, which can hardly be justified
even by Lord Salisbury's warning that
there are still matters in dispute with
France.
A dispatch from Hongkong, received
late tonight, again remarks upon the
unusual naval and military activity
there The dispatch says General Black
and his staff have been inspecting the
old frontier of British Kau Lun (Kow
LOOM, and selecting points for erection
of defensive works. Field and siege
guns are being mounted, and the men
of-war lying off Hongkong are embark
ing large quantities of ammunition. The
fleet has been signaled to send no mails
by the French steamer leaving to-day
Saturday. This order is regarded as
very significant.
The Berlin correspondent Of the
Daily News" says: 1T is asserted in
well Informed quarters that the British
war preparations are connected with
the Philippine question, in which the
United States Government is working
in agreement with England. Rumors
are revived that the United States in
tends ceding to England some of the
islands, or granting coaling stations
there"

Mr. Neil Keith, superintendent of construction of the Government, Yukon X Teslin Lake railroad company. for Mackenzie, Mann X Co.,. arrived in Wrangel last Friday week from Telegraph Creek, having made the down trip, in three days. in q canoe. lie was accompanied by an indian and d young Norwegian.
 Mr. Keith left Wrangel for rele- graph Creek on the 24th day of last February. He was in charge of l3O men, 50 teams of horses. and d general outfit of supplies, tools, etc. They landed the same day on Cottonwood island, at the mouth of the Stikeen river There they built the big ware house, lsO feet long by 30 feet wide.

i Rare sSpeSijneu,

NJ. Healy is the custodian of one of the richest pieces of frec-milling ore that has been seen in Wranuel fen years. The specimen Was brought to -NN4r;silrc Aby @:, indian and given to the Pioneer Store keeper for safe keeping. .As an Indication of the richness of the discovery ii may lc said that the spec- men is but two inches in width by two and on" half inches in height and con tains nearly $15 in pure gold. The specimen is incrustcd on all sides with the dull yellow metal and the contrast with the pure white quartz in which it is found shows the former off to the full. st advantage. Alr. Healy is reti- cent as 10 the source from whence this specimen came and will not give even an approximate description of the region. The prediction of mining men who have seen the specimen is that if the body of ore is one half as rich as the specimen: the mine will be one of the richest on the coast.

the Stikcen river. By taking time, prospecting, one can carry that much easily and go to the head waters of the Pelly, Salmon and Dease rivers and iSo examine the numerous tributaries of these streams. Thus a man gould surely strike rich claims. in which case he could come back to Wranyel and return the next spring. When one has the best prospects,, there build cabin for the winter, timber being plentiful, and. when it freezes. sink to bed rock. The report of a trip made last fall from Telegraph Creek to Tesiin lake and re- turn, for the purpose of closely eXamin- ing the route and its resources, show that there is plenty of grass for horses ali along the trail on either side, with N idle eNpanse of reserve pasturage available by ranging away from the trail in pitching camp. This trip began October 1th. and ended on return to Telegraph October 27th.. or 10 days going and d like period returning. SnOn WAS encountered about F miles out. though only four inchee." The small lakes along the route were not troZen at tEc time of the outward journey. bat were found incrusted with about one inch of ice on the return. There are no hard hills having very heavy grades.
 The first summit. which is about l2 sni.es out from Telegraph Creek, has an elevation of 3.650 feet. but there was uo part of tue road over which a pack ,lor,e could not readily carry his fuil ioad. At that tilne the Canadian gov arnineut had twenty men at work widening the trail to d width of four or five feet. The reporter. while going north met. at different places on the road. about r. men in all. some having horses and dogs. on their way tuTe!e- graph Creek. A
 \ Mr. York has seven men and lo mules packing from Telegraph Creek and widening the trail from the post to the summit. From this second summit tlc road is practically d down grade or level the entire remaininy distance to Tesiin lake.
 There is now a good trail from Glen ora and Telegraph Creek to Tcslin lake.

one thousand men to work on the road as soon as they can be had. Wages are from $4O to S75 per month and board.
 A force of 100 men are at work at Shakesvillc and Glenora clearing the right of way for the railroad, prcpar- ing for the construction of the G. Y. X T. l.. R. E. Wages are the same as on the wagon road. Mr. Keith will put 1000 more men at work as soon as they can be procured. Mr. Keith is under positive orders from Mackenzie, Mann X Co. to complete the road before Sep tember lst.
 Mr. Keith and party padded down from Telegraph Creek to Cottonwood island in 2G hours. actual travelling. They camped two nights on the bank. He does not think there will be any trouble in navigating the river. After this, from the experience had this winter, there will be no trouble in going up the river another winter. The trail has been we'll mapped out, the dangerous points marked, and can be hereafter avoided.
 Mr. Keith said Il would like to inn press upon the public through the press that the Stikeen is tirst-class winter route. There are so many people who look on the dark side of everything. They come into new country, expect ing to find everything as it is in the old settled countries, which it has taken hundreds of years to accomplish. Last
