The Wadley Claim.

Back of the Mexican mine, on this island, about one mile from the beach, is mining claim, which is known as the WadIey claim, and is supposed to be continuation of the Mexican vein. MT. Moore, of Seattle, Wash, prac- tical mine operator, has taken hold of this claim and has formed a company, with capital stock of S25O,O00, to work it. MT. Moore is now on the ground, accompanied by MT. Hayman, who is superintendent of the new undertak- ing. S25,OOO has been set apart to thor oughly prospect the claim, and if the ore is found to be as rich and in as large a body as supposed, the balance of the capital stock will be immediately invested in machinery similar to that used by the Treadwell Co.,, to work it, The opening of this new mine means much to Douglas Island and Douglas City.

rlr. FaIconer's Body Found.

The news was telephoned from Ju- neau yesterday afternoon that the body of a man had been found on the beach, near the Nevada Cafe, supposed to be that of Mir. Stephen H. Falconer, of this city, who mysteriously disappeared Dec. Sd, last. Relatives of the deceased from this city, went over, and from the papers, watch and nugget, found on the body, decided that there was no doubt that it was MT. Falconer. The burial will take place to-day at 1:3O p. m., at the Evergreen Cemetery, Juneau. Ser vices to be conducted by Rev. l.. l.. Wirt.
 Stephen H. Falconer was born in Ma con county, H., Jan. ', 1854. How his death occurred, will probably never be known. Mrs. Falconer and her chil- dren have the sympathy of the entire community in this, their day of attiic- tion.

Proposed New Route to the Golden North.

The long talked of extension of the Northern Pacific R. R. from Olympia, Wash, to Port Angeles has now mater ialized and work has begun.
 The merchants and business men of Victoria, B. C., have long realized their dependent position, relying as that city does, solely, on the Canadian Pacific foran eastern outlet. They now see a way of escape and have laid plans, that, if carried out, will shorten the water route to Alaska by many hours.
 MT. Cushing, the capitalist who is backing the Port Angeles and Eastern, proposes to build two large and power ful ferry boats to run from Port Angeles to Beechy Bay, on Vancouver Island, to carry passengers and freight across this narrow strip of water in 40 min utes. At Beechy Bay he will build large wharves and warehouses, and it is further proposed to connect there with the E. and N. R. R. which is to be 
 extended to the north end of the island.
 A glance at the map will easily show that this plan, if fconsummated, will land passengers 400 miles nearer Juneau by rail, leaving an ocean voyage of only about 500 miles instead of 900, saving of at least 12 hours in the time between Sound points and Juneau.
 It is pleasing to note that such effort is being made, and our Victoria friends are working hand in hand with the great continental lines of the States to establish a route which will be both popular and profitable, when the wonderful riches of this great coun- try of ours are developed.

A Wonderful Escape.

Last Monday morning MT. John son, an empIoye of the Treadwell, fell from the skip 25O feet to the bot tom of the shaft.
 A party of miners immediately went down expecting to find only his dead body, but instead. found MT. Johnson standing in the water at the bottom of the shaft holding on to a brace. He was carried to the hospital where Dr. Treuholtz made a thorough eXamina- tion and found that, with the eXcep- ton of bruised arm and leg the man is apparently uninjured. Although suffering from the shock, at last ac- counts he was doing nicely and will probably live to tell in days to come of his, one of the most remarkable es- capes in the history of mining.
