Last Sunday NJ. C.. Carmichael returned from Che new town Of Mason which has been laid ofi on the west side of the head of Pyramid hlrbor at the junction there with Of the Chilcat river This point is opposite HaiueS, about five miles distant thc-elrom. lt was here that Mr. Car michael last spring discovered ledge of miuerllllej Jualiz which is quite eNtea' slve, and is thought to be of a nature sim illr Co the ore of the famous Ireadwell mine. This ledge is 2Ioo feet wide and has been tr cej for more than 6ooo feet in a uorthW esterlv direction. Al discovery the ledge is Ico feet from tide water and extends 2Ioo feet inland up a ro;k mouu- tain side to the hanging wall, and from there the ledge bears slagtlv away from the river and is traced for more than a mile to the norihwari Already there different groups of eight claims eaCh have been lc- catei and recorded, and 4o-acre townSiie has been located. The claimants also have a valuable water fall which Is esti- mated to develop 10000 horse power.
 The assays of this rock have not been high, but range from S3. 30 to Sl.6o to the ton. The rock is free milling and it is thought lt will prove to be very valuable
 Five men have begun to run development tunnels, and the work will be continued until a thorough test has been made. There are hundreds of millions of tons of this r,ck in sight above the sea level, and it it proves of any value, the worth of the claims is up in the millions of dollars.

Mr. ]. D. Gfaham, gold commissioner of the Atlin district, returned vcsterday from the new British Columbia copper and gold quartz fields in the Rainy Hollow dis tri,t. sometimes called the Copper Blow out country. He spent several divs there, and established a mining recorders ofiite' which will be temporarily filled by Mr. w. II. Vitlers, who is thoroughly eN- p,rieneed in such affiirs About sixty claims are s.al<eJ and the recording will proceed without delay. Mr. Graham says the indications poirt to an extensive field, but he cannot speak with poSitiveness as to the merits of the district. He uneov- cred one vein which is ten feet wide that promises to yield well. Samples of cop per, gold and silver quartz were brought out by Mr. Graham and will be asslyed.
 The trip to and from the district was made on horseback. Mr. Graham says the load or tail is a rough one and, ac- cordng to his estimate, sixty miles long, but of gradual ascent from tidewater, and of such a nature that tramway could easily be built from Hlines to the camp. Mir. Graham is the guest of the Brannltk and will proceed this afternoon tow I'd his headquarters in the Atlin district, where a great deal of business has piled up during his absence. Heloolis as if the long horse back ride had not hurt him.
 Mir. Graham did not pay much attention to the Porcupne mines, through which he passed; but from the gold he saw and the quiet industry of the miners, he has an op,nlon that the mines are paving hand somelv.

BERNHARDT AT THE BEGINNING.
Old Pen Picture of the Divine Sarah
by Octave Feui1Iet.


Just thirty years ago octave Feuillet,
in letter to his wife, drew the fol
lowing pen picture of Nine. Sarah
Bernhardt, then at the beginning of her
career:
"a queer girl. indeed, is Sarah. 1t is
the first time in my long career that l
have met with a genuine actress, a
coincidence of the eighteenth century,
elegant, eccentric, insolent, and bold.
Contrary to the habit of all other
actresses, she comes to the rehearsals
in full dress, or, at least, in a toilet ar
ranged after her own fashion. She
always wears velvet-a velvet dress,
velvet hat, a scarf of black lace over
her shoulders, and little ruffed col
lar. In this way, with her hair like
that of a poodle dog, and with some
fresh flowers in her hand, she repeats
her part with care and somber gray
ity, and occasionally with attitude la
Rachel. At the close of the act she
Frances about like a ballet girl, skips
upon one foot, and then sits down at
the piano to accompany herself while
singing a queer negro air. She has
very sweet voice. Then she gets up
and begins to walk about with long
strides, like clown, laughing in every
body's face, and chewing chocolate
candy, with which she always has her
pockets filed. At times she takes out
little case, in which there was a
small brush, which she rubs over her
lips to give them a ruby color, after
which she laughs, shows her white
teeth, and recommences to MUNICH her
chocolates.
Nothing could be more amusing
than to see Croizette and herself, after
a rehearsal, running out, followed by
their mothers. They start off like
frightened hares, with their heads up
and Rabage hats thrown back upon
their enormous blond wigs. Swinging
their little umbrellas, they walk and
laugh loud enough to make people turn
round and stare at them. At last they
go into Chibousts confectionery shop
and there stuff themselves with cakes

Gomez Is Governor.

New York, May l3.-The Herald
quotes Osgood Welsh, Cuban planter Of
80 years experience, as saying;
''There is no getting away from the
fact that Gomez, and not General Brooke,
is the actual governor of Cuba. The
Americans own and rule the cities, but
the insurgent knows this and all his
army officers know it,
''Brigandage is as bad now as it was
at any time under Weyler. They are
shooting brigands all the time. Six,
believe, were shot the other day at San
tiago."
