journey can now be made WlCnouI ue- lay. Outfits landed here can De oeilv- cred at Lake Bennett in three days. Freight rates are lower than they have ever been. They will go up soon, for the second rush will be on. Those who lnbend to go to Dawson thls year should go now.
 As to the comparative merits of Skaguay and Dyea, there is much to be said on either side. At Dyea the ropeway is apparently in successful operation now from CanyCn City to the summit, injunction suits notwith- standing. On the other hand, freight must be handled four times, in four different ways by the Dyea route. At present wagons, sleds, ropeWay and hand packing. Much delay is caused by this, and some confusion. By the Skaguay route an outfit IS taken through without change in three days and delivered without loss, delay CT confusion of any kind. The prices are about the same by either route and must remain SO. It is difficult to say which will be the best route later on, for that will depend entirely on what is done to improve the trails on the other side, when the snow melts. Each trail will be bad and the price of
 transportation will be determined by the conditions on the other side of the divide.
 There has been curious dispute among the Chilcoot Indians here and att Dyea. These Indians lay claim to all of Dyea and all of Skaguay, and everything between. A certain law yer told them the other day not to worry-that soon the whites would all go to Dawson and that then all the buildings would belong to them as we'll as the land The Indians were
 greatly pleased at this and the two sections of the tribe began at once to divide the property and buildings. All went we'll until they came ito the Sylvester building here, a large and quite handsome wooden structure, well painted and good to look at Each chief had his eye on this for a wig wam. Each was determined to have it. It would be the best wigwam an Indian ever had, and was worth fight ing for. So they fought A great many shots were fired-in the air No one was hurt, though. The whites thought Spanish invasion had come O most enliven1ng little episode.
 A painful degree of interest is shown here in regard to the war. It is the | first of May and we only know that war is declared What has happened; !; what battles have been won or lost, | what triumphs or disasters have come upon the country we can only conjec- ture. We can only hope and watch for steamers.
 Last night the Skaguay guard, Col

NUGGETS FROM THE HILLS.

Brookshire, Hobbs & Roberts are working a force of three men on their properties south of town near the Grand Bounce.
 Aleck Mcintyre, a former well known Tombstoner is reported having met his death recently at Congress by the caving in of a drift while at Wofk in the Congress mine.
 We are informed a mining deal of considerable magnitude and of great interest to the town of Jerome is on the tapis. It is now in order for the Hammer brigade to get out and get their work in.
 MT. I. E. Solomon of Solomonville on Sunday visited the coal camp a few miles above Solomonville. He reports that the drill has attained a depth of over 700 feet and that indications are considered highly encouraging.
 It is generally known that good placer ground is to be found in the Huachucas. In the vicinity of the Harper mine placer dirt is being prof itably worked. Some placer miners are constantly at work and their re- turns show good wages, from $5 to $50 a day being realized. Some good sized nuggets have been found and occasion ally small sized Klondyke is discov- ered-Tombstone PrOspectOr.
 William Zent drove into town yes terday with as large and handsome a block of ore as any mining wise man would desire to look at- The ore came from Zent's Longfellow mine on Ban ming creek, three miles south of Pres colt, and gives an assay of $56 gold per ton. At a depth of twelve feet a vein of ore twenty-three inches wide is exposed. The vein was quite mar row on the surface, but has widened out as sinking progressed. The prop erty can be cIassed as a very promis- ing prospect-Courier.
 The News mine, formerly the Cop per Matte group, is showing up re- markedly well. At sixty-five feet crosscut was run showing twenty feet of thoroughly mineralized slate. The ledge being about twenty-four feet in width. There are about twenty tons of ore on the dump. The property is situated about one mile south of town and is part of the group sold by Charles Ward to L. P. Drexler, a Cali fornia capitalist, three years ago. Mr. Drexler had the title work done two years and last January had a repre- sentative on the ground to relocate it but was shut cut by the present owners, who located the ground and have been working steadily since, sinking and drifting, and now have a very promising prospect.
 The Decatur Copper company of De catur, H., is pushing development work on it's property two miles south of Jerome MT. Mullarkey of Hedges, Cal, lately appointed superintendent of this company, has arrived and as stunned charge. This company's prop erty is located upon the contact which extends from the United Verde on the north to the Equator on the south. Their work at present is being done in sinking large working shaft down upon the claim formerly owned by John Miller, which is on the east boun- dary of their ground. When this shaft has attained a depth of two or three hundred feet a crosscut will be run to cut the numerous parallel lodges running through the Decatur company's ground. This is the sort of work that develops district and we only wish there were more people like the Decatur company working in this district.
