The Atlin Mining District.

Arthur Needham has received let
ter from J. D. Kinney, dated at Atlin
City, B. C. March oath, from which the
following extracts are taken: Arrived
the 18th, things quiet, and the snow is
about five feet deep over everything.
Think there will be no mining before
two months. There is close to 1000 in
habitants in the three towns; Atlin
City, on the Lake; Pine, about eight
miles above At1in, on Discovery on
Pine Creek; and Surprise City, on Sur
prise Lake, head of Pine Creek. They
are doing considerable building in
Atlin and Discovery, mostly all log
buildings. One saw mill here cutting
1000 feet per day, and two larger mills
being built. Lumber is 500 per M,
and up. There are four hotels in town
with saloon accompaniment, any num-
Der of restaurants, stores and shops,
and they evidently anticipate some
business in the future.
People say Atlin is all right for a
mining district, but can tell better
next fall, after this summers work on
the brooks. Very little developing
has been done as yet. A. few people
are arriving each day, but nothing of
a stampede. Customs charges are
pretty heavy. This is a fine country
for mining, nothing near as hard to
get around as at Dawson, and when
the snow goes, think it will be very
pleasant and pretty to look at. I have
secured interests in three claims, and
will go to developing one of them
when the season opens.v

The Kidney Complexion

The pale. sallow, sunken-cheeked distressed
looking people you so often meet are afflicted
with "Kidney Complexion"
Their kidneys are turning to a parsnip color.
So is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion, or suffer from
sleeplessness, rheumatism, neuralgia, brain
trouble, nervous exhaustion and sometimes the
heart acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney disease does
not find out what the trouble is until it is al
most too late, because the first symptoms are so
like mild sickness that they do not think they
need medicine or doctor until they find them
selves sick in bed
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root will build up and
strengthen their weak and diseased kidneys,
purify their diseased kidney-noisoned blood,
clear their complexion and soon they will enjoy
better health.
You can get the regular sizes at the drug
store, at fifty cents and one dollar, or you may
first prove for yourself the wonderful virtues OF
this great discovery Swamp-Root, by sending
your address to DR. Kilmer & Co, Binghamton,
for a sample bottle and book that tells all
about it, both sent to you absolutely free by
mail. When writing kindly mention that you

that the low rates prevail. For short
