A Letter From Atlin.

Atlin, B. C.. June 10th. 1899. Friend Mckeand: l receive your paper regularly and am glad to hear from you in that way. am now on Pine Creek and have some good prospects Most of the old Stikeen River men are here. Dr. Davy, Judge Cochran and other Wrangel men are here: but such tan- gled up mess you never saw. l am afraid it can never be strengthened out: one to dozen stakes on every claim. teere are about 5000 people in Atlin and Pine cities, 300 of whom are wo- men and 100 children under ten years: queer place for womean nd children, with snow and ice freezing every day in May and June. The gold is like Paddy's flee, now you have it and now you don't. Men are afraid to lease or buy. There are 5S,00O location records made in the district. so you can see how matters stand. They are taking out from one to ten ounces on a good many claims and nuggets in value from BIO to $20 are common. I saw one nugget valued at $4O0 last week. The owner claims to have taken it out here but of course 1 don't know. In any event it was beauty. l have got to reach my claims above Telegraph Creek this summer so will see you in Wrangel soon.

 Three men have been found dead on Moose Lake, they are the Ellison Bros of Kent. England: and $. Caster of Tlar- awangi Aukland. New Zealand. One of the Ellison Bros. kept q diary. the last entry in which Was: "My brother has just passed peacefully away. this entry was on April 2lst.. Anot her en- try dated March 4th said that the Fagg party and one member of the El- llson party had Just left them on their way to Tesln. The man of the Ellison party reported to Drummond at Tcslin. that one man of these who died was sick with influenza. but was improving. This party must have been the last who attack which was reported to Drum mond must, have been more serious than was supposed. and probably mark ed the beginning of the end When found the men were badly decomposed. and the intcrrment was d nasty job The unfortunate men, according to Drummond's judgement. had died of scurvy and judging from the diary entries. had been dead six weeks The last man to die had taken his cap full of dried apples. d chunk of bacon. raw, and cup of water to bed with him. he. evidently being too weak to get up and cook. Their cabin was in d very poor location, for the high water in the spring had deposited two feet of mud on the floor. They had flag at ;half mast: but there had been little or no travel that way this winter. They were reported to Drummond by d man named Martin who was taking mail in from Telegraph Creek. The men when found had S9OO in cash and d first-class outfit in every respect.
 The last pack train brings news that Dease Lake is open.

Telegraph Creek .jnne IS, Special to the Journal.
 A. D. Drummond from Tcsln. Frank Smith from Atlin, Grant (. Miller from the heNescutlin River. and Charles Oleson ;lsrivcd here yesterday and the news they bring is sufficient to merit space in your lively paper. Drummond is the constable at Teslin. He came through to bury three men who died on Moose Lake some time during the win ter, and picked up the rest of this party to hel P III W hat was d very disaagrce- able job. Miller was on the Big Sal mon last summer, aud his account of that country is very tattering and to say the least holds out lively hopes for the exploiting of promising camp there in the near future. The route he and his party took was up the Ncs- cutlin river a distance of 90 miles to a portage which leads, by short land and water hauls combined, to Quirt Lake, which is the head of the Salmon, an easy route. The prospecting in this vicinity was unfruitful and they start ed down the Salmon, prospecting as they went. Fourty miles down the river they struck d creek, the bars ot which they considered good enough to start on. This was in the fall of 9S. There grub Was short, so two men were left to prospect what they had found. and the remainder came back to Teslin for more grub. On the way back they ran across another creek which showed gold. They obtained col ors as much as twenty-five cents to the pan This was on top for they had no tools with which to enable them to sink. After having procured their grub they started to return, but were frozen in on the Nescutlin river seventy-tive miles up. There they wintered and the whole crowd got the scurvy. None of their party died: but some of another party, who was in the same fix as them selves, did. They had great difficulty in getting their sick back to Tesin, and now their great anxiety is to get out of the country. They say fourty men will be on the Salmon river this spring, most of whom had enough grub to last all winter, so look out for some news of d more substantial character: for while Miler's news has the ring of truth, the story, that story that really counts is that one that has the sound of the chink of gold.

Bengaline silk poplin and light wool goods

French cashmere with a velvet surface

of thing that claims every shoppers at

to drape over colored silk skirts, and we
are getting very deep in checks. That
which is not checked is very sure to be
striped, such for example as the pongee
lawns and the fancy lusters and Canton
cloths. A book full of flowery language
might easily be devoted TO a description
of the latest fruits of the loom, but one
pleasant truth all shoppers now bear in
mind that it requires less material than
ever before to make gown, in spite of
trains having come for good long visit.

BESSIE POTTER, SCULPTOR.

Chicago, Feb. 1o.-Besse Potter is all the
rage in Chicago 1t is the correct thing to
have portrait statuette fashioned by the
deft fingers of this diminutive woman But
as the demand exceeds Bessie Potters DOW
er to supply, the less favored ones are
glad to content themselves with a Gun Of
tea at the little table in one corner of her
studio if they are lucky enough to be in
Vited And finally, as there is a limit 10
the capacity of the tea table, there is a
still larger class which can do no more
than read what the newspapers have TO
say about the young artist and envy the
more fortunate ones.
Now the studio is deserted, the tea table
is in storage and its owner is in Europe.
partly for season of recreation and part
ly to have more important recent produc-
tons put into marble under personal su-
pervision.
1t used to distress dorado Taft to find
his young pupil bent on undertaking tasks
entirely too ambitious for a pupil But
when Bessie surmounted the difficulties
and accomplished the tasks, he ceased to
worry on that account and devoted the
time to admiring her astonishing capacity
for work.
Genius Is sometimes described as unllm-
tied capacity for work. Measured by this
definition Bessie Potter is genius; for no
one ever saw her idle, and the number of
her productions is something phenomenal.
When it is added that besides the virtue
of industry she has love of art and good
TASTE her success so early in life is not
surprising.
The first Of her work that attracted At
tention was bust of Prof. David Swing
She gave expression to his picturesque
personality as it had never been done be-
fore. That was her starting point She
soon mastered the knack of hitting off the
prominent characteristics of her subject in
a happy manner without making her work
over-eiaborate. Her special line took the
form of sketchy little statuettes. Her
statuette Of Susan B. Anthony is pro-
nounced by critics the best portrait of Miss
Anthony extant.
Bessie Potter is seen at her best In fig
ures of young women and girls. She gets
on famously with the little folk, and has
done some delightful portraits of babies.
There is an individuality about her work
that Is so often lacking in the production
of other sculptors and artists. and she
means to retain it. She has pronounced
opinions on the subject of American ar
lists who go 10 Europe, settle down there
and copy year after year until they lose all
Individuality" She thinks it we'll enough
to be Informed on what Europe has pro-
duced and is producing, but that is ALL No
copying for her.
1t is pleasant to be able to say that while
society has made her a fad her work IS
appreciated by artists. Raffaeli went
wild over her statuettes. Vonnoh is an
enthusiast on the same subject. Taft is
very proud of the fact that he was once
her teacher, and the rest of the Chicago
art colony seems 10 feel proprietary in
terest in Bessie. The consensus of opinion
In every studio was summed up by dorado
Taft when he said:
Bessie Potter is destined to take very
high place in American art"
