AROUND ABOUT TESLIN LAKE.

One of the best qualified to speak of the country around Teslin lake and the Pel.y river is A. l.. Pondreer. Domin- ion land surveyor, who has spent years in the north country at the head of a surveying party, working for the Gov ernment. Speaking of the country south of Tcslin lake, he has this pleas ant account to give:
 The country north of the Stikeen is perhaps a little more wooded than fur ther south, but, nevertheless, food for horses is very abundant. Gold is found on nearly every stream, and on the Thuiton and Dodedonto rich prospects have been located.
 Tcslin lake is il very beautiful sheet of two to six miles in width and about eighty miles in length. The shores are not high, and are generally cover- ed with the same short growth of trees which characterizcs all the interior plateaus.
 The river coming out of Teslin lake is called the Hootalinqua, and then the Lewis to the point where the Pelly reaches it, at old Fort Selkirk, where it takes the name of Yukon. I believe l,i,, is wrong. The HootaIinqla and
Stikeen River journal., 1899-04-29

Lewis are, by far the largest feeders of the Yukon; they are also in the same line of direction. Therefore, accord ing to the rules of physical geography it should be called the Yukon, and Teslin lake is its source.
 Two noted gold fields are known in New Caledonia the Omenica, north of Frazier lake, and the tassiar, which begins at Telegraph Crock. Large amounts have been taken from this To- calty. In Omenica powerful compan- ies have started hydraulic mining on a large scale, and no doubt the same will be done in the Cassiar. People with experience in that line and with sufiic- tent capital do not need to go as far as the Yukon. Cassiar offers as rich a prize as the Klondike to the hydraulic miner.
 Large tracts are not yet prospected at all. even for placcrs, and nothing whatever has been done in the line of quartz mining. It Is known that rich deposits of galena ore occur on the Skeena, and rich copper ore is to be found on the Stikcen and on Teslin lake. Native copper has been mined for ages by the indians from this local ity, and has been hammered into sheilds and beaten into currency, which can yet be obtained

CHEsTRR's FUSION TICKET
sTALwART REPUBLICANS Ar
ACTIVE IN ITS BEHALF.

West Chester, Sept. 1S.-The Stall
wart Republicans are lending a vigor-
Gus helping hand to the Democrats who
split on from the Democratic nominat-
ing convention on last Tuesday. They
are working hard to secure nomination
papers. There is a belief that no ticket
will be made, but that, on the con-
trary, the opposition will be dissolved
in a few days. so far as any party or
ganization is concerned.
Some OF the fusion people say the
work of seeking names to the nomina-
tion papers is merely a ruse to poll the
town in a measure, in order to get at
the real feeling regarding the fusion
ticket placed in nomination last week
