Hon. G. w. D. Clifford is satisfied
with the Atlin ountry as a mining dis
trict, but he asys it is not great pro-
Queer. He thinks valuable quatrz will
soon be discovered, but pronounces the
country on the whole no poor-man
camp. He says further to the Alaskan:
From what can learn of the banks
of Atlin the output in placer this year
will be from $3.50, 900 to 81, 900, 900.
1.-THE Anaconda group of quartz
claims, purchased not long ago by Lord
Hamilton, are being developed by a
small crew. A day and night shift is
at work, and already the men have
tunneled 80 to 40 feet and the prospects
get better the farther they go.
"The alien exclusion law discouraged
the investment of capital in Atlin this
year, but look for hydraulics to take
the lead in the development of the
placers. The exclusion law has proved
boomerang. have been opposed to it
and shall stand for its repeal"
Todd Lees, en- route from Atlin to
Vancouver, says that he has reliable
information that up till October 10,
royalty paid on the Atlin placer out
put for the season amounted to $410,-
900, and it was estimated in official
circles that the output will be more
than million.
General mining along the creeks will
continue three weeks more, says Mr..
Lees, and after that drifting will be
done to some extent on some of the
creeks through the winter. He esti-
mates 500 people will remain in the
Atlin country this winter.

EARLY WINTER.
The Yukon and Upper Rivers Closed
Sooner Than Usual This Year
ScOws I'm Danger.

Reports from the interior indicate
that winter has come to stay, and es-
says to make record date for closing
navigation on the Yukon and upper
rivers, says the Alaskan. The weather
from LIE Barge northward has been
much below zero for week past, and
since then telegraph information was to
the effect that the thermometer was Is
degrees below zero at Hootalinqua,
which is about 20 miles below lower
LIE Barge, and % degrees below at
Dawson.
Great quantities of ice are coming
out of tributary rivers, and it would
not be surprising if the Yukon should
block with ice soon after the 81 inst.
To all appearance a moderation of the
weather is the only thing in human rea-
son to prevent the river from closing q
full week earlier than it did last year.
A gentleman who is pretty we'll ex-
perienced in Klondike navigation says
that the chances are very good for
catching fully 100 scows in the ice
when the Yukon closes. This is high
estimate.
1t is we'll known that number of
scows left Bennett with the expecta-
ton of wintering this side of Dawson,
and some scows will yet leave Bennett
with the intention of waiting for spring
at Lower LIE Barge.
There were six men on the two scows
wrecked in White Horse rapids lately,
but four of them were rescued. Mr..
Robinson had life in his body when
brought to shore, and j. T. Bethune
triedevery means to resuscitate him,
but his efforts were In vain, and the
cold water or internal injuries proved
fatal to him.
1t turns out that the steamboat
Lindeman may not be total loss.
At Windy Arm the owners of the
Lindeman saved the cargo of Dawson
ties wrecked scow, for which they
will get $4,000 salvage, SO they are
ahead on disasters, as the total cost to
them of the Lindeman was only 81 900,
although she originally cost Sc, 600.

ODD FELLOWSHIP.

The Sovereign Grand Lodge of
Odd Fellows met in Detroit Monday.
Mayor Maybury welcomed the rep.
resentatives. In the course of his
address, he said that Odd Fellowship
was one Of the first, if not the first,
society ito make men brothers and to
make my neighbor the man that
needs me and is deserving OF my help"
The Mayor was responded to by
Grand Sire Pinkerton.
Grand Sire Pinkert ton in his annu-
al report said:
The evidence Of the work of the ag-
gressive, progressive force of Odd
Fellowship is refutation OF tho false
assertion that present citizens of the
world are not as good as we're their
fathers. Welcome every agency that
lends helping hand to those who
need it. December 3lst last our sub
ordinate lodge membership was $50,
96l and the number of sisters in the
Rebekah lodges was 19O,0O7. These
figures enable us for the first time to
honestly claim fraternal affiliations
with over million persons"
Grand Secretary Grant reported
encouraging increases for the year, in
both the subordinate and Rebekah
branches, that of the former having
been greater than in any year since
1892. A email decrease WAS reported

smaller, however, than in any other

ing the year." said the Secretary, ais
found in the unusually long list of
warrants issued. In Hawaii, New
foundland, the Netherlands, and
Alaska new charters have been asked
for. Favorable reports are coming
in from Cuba, and a new lodge is to
be instituted at Buenos Ayres.
"The number Of grand lodge rep.
resentatives is increased to $780,"
The secretary gave the following
summary of the condition of the or.
der December 81, 1898:
