The Prospector.

Do the people of Haines recognize the real worth of the genuine prospect or to the country? 'Tis he who is the genuine pioneer Gowhere you will, on the lofty mountain peaks, across dan gerous glaciers, deep lonesome canons, primeyal forests, and tundra plains, you will find that the prospector has been before you. And many a hardy fellow has listened to his death knell in the roaring, resistless snow slides, and in the ice cold, rushing river, which left them in an unmarked grave far away from home and loved ones. Every prospector that comes to this country spends from SlOO to S2,OOO the while he sweats an honest brow in his tireless efforts to force fortune from the rugged bosom of mother earth. Many of those hardy fellows meet with disap- pointment. Now then if a prospector comes to our town broke don't turn to him the cold shoulder with that super cillious-"oh, he hasn't got any money" air, but help him; help him all you can for he is the pathfinder of the world and is blazing the way to better times for us all.

Public neetIng at Haines.

The public meeting held at Biglow's Hall on the evening of the 26th was a decided success. MT. R. Odell was elected chairman and l.. l.. Bales secre- tary. The object of this meeting was the forming of progressive club, and the reading and discussing of the mem orial drafted by the committee ap- pointed for that purpose, and which our delegate will present at the con vention to be held at Juneau Oct. 9th.
 Our delegate, Col. Sol Ripinsky, gave the audience an impromptu address that held their attention and was loud ly applauded at the close. There is no question but that the Colonel has the interests of the people at heart and will carefully guard them at the com ing convention. He was followed in turn by Messrs. Marguam, Shaw, War ner, Blaine, Johnson, Smith, Odell, Weitzman, Biglow, Hunter, Cable, Beasly, Lyman, Ripin, and many others and many a plainly dressed man proved diamond in the rough at that meeting.
 The memorial, as drawn up by the committee, was adopted in full, and with the proper credentials will be pre- sented to Col. Ripinsky who in turn will present them to the convention at Juneau.
 The meeting then took up the matter of a progressive club and Messrs. Mar guam, Johnson, Smith and Bales were appointed as a committee to draft by laws to govern the organization. A committee of reception will be appoint ed later to receive visitors to our town, also corresponding secretary will be appointed to answer all inquiries as re- gards this section.
 The next meeting will be held on Tuesday eve, Oct 3rd at Biglow's Hall.
