EARLY WINTER.
The Yukon and Upper Rivers Closed
Sooner Than Usual This Year
Scows in Danger.

Reports from the interior indicate
that winter has come 10 stay, and es-
says to make record date for closing
navigation ON the Yukon and upper
rivers, says the Alaskan. The weather
from LIE Barge northward has been
much below zero for week past, and
since then telegraph information was to
the effect that the thermometer was Is
degrees below zero at Hootalinqua,
which is about 20 miles below lower
LIE Barge, and 20 degrees below at
Dawson.
Great quantities of ice are coming
out of tributary rivers, and 1t would
not be surprising II the Yukon should
block with ice soon after the - inst.
To all appearance a moderation of the
weather is the only thing in human rea.
son to prevent the river from closing Q
full week earlier than it did last year.
A gentleman who is pretty we'll ex-
perienced in Klondike navigation says
that the chances are very good for
catching fully 100 scows in the ice
when the Yukon closes. This is high
estimate.
1t is we'll known that a number OF
scows left Bennett with the expecta.
ton of wintering this side of Dawson,
and some scows will yet leave Bennett
with the intention Of waiting for spring
at Lower LIE Barge.
There were six men on the two scows
wrecked in White Horse rapids lately,
hut four of them were rescued. Mr..
Robinson had life in his body when
brought to shore, and ]. T. Bethune
triedeverys means to resuscitate him,
but his efforts were IN vain, and the
cold water or internal injuries proved
fatal to him.

of the expedition is to move down the

Hon. G.. w. d. Clifford is satisfied
with the Atlin ountry as a mining dis.
trict, but he asys it is not great pro-
Queer. He thinks valuable quatrz will
soon be discovered, but pronounces the
country on the whole no poor.man
camp. He says further to the Alaskan:
''From what can learn Of the banks
of Atlin the output in placer this year
will be from $3.50, 900 to 81, 200, 900.
1.-THE Anaconda group of quartz
claims, purchased not long ago by Lord
Hamilton, are being developed by a
small crew. A day and night shift Is
at work, and already the men have
tunneled 80 to 40 feet and the prospects
get better the farther they go.
"The alien exclusion law discouraged
the investment of capital in Atlin this
year, but look for hydraulics to take
the lead in the development of the
placers. The exclusion law has proved
boomerang. have been opposed to it
and shall stand for its repeal"
Todd Lees, en- route from Atlin to
Vancouver, says that he has reliable
information that up till October 10,

put for the season amounted to $410,-
900, and it was estimated in official
circles that the output will be more
than a million.
General mining along the creeks will
continue three weeks more, says Mr..
Lees, and after that drifting will be

mates 800 people will remain in the
Atlin country this winter.
Are Salmon Trout Trout?
This is the closed seson for trout un-
der the new law. There is some dis
agreement as to whether the fish popu-
larly known as the salmon trout should
be called a trout, says the Portland
Telegram.
Many persons, particularly those
who like to fish for them in the winter
time, insist that the salmon trout is a
young steelhead, and that fishermen are
opposed to them because they eat eggs
which chinook salmon have deposited.
1t will be left for the courts to decide
this mooted question, over which
learned doctors disagree, and most
people believe that they will decide it
in the matter of fact way and call the
salmon trout a trout.
This species is the only kind Of trout
that will bite in the winter time, and
many Portland sportsmen have been
accustomed to fishing for them all
winter long. They are gamey, and the
meat is of excellent flavor, and the
fish form good change of diet during
the winter time.

MINES AND MINING.
Copper Properties Around white Horse
Are to he Developed.

Copper Properties Around white Horso
Are to he Developed.
It was reported in Skagway recently
by ]. Almer Mccormick that the ex.
tensive copper properties around White
Horse have passed from the hands of
Porter & Co.. the original owners, to
the British. American corporation. 1t
Is understood that Porter and his asso.
ciates could not secure charter for
the properties, and that the British.
American company got them under
twenty different grants, and the prop
critics are all now merged into one.
The British.American corporation Is
one of the heaviest mining concerns
operating on the coast. Last winter it
purchased the famous LIE Roi quartz
mines of the Rossland, b. c., district.
and not long ago acquired extensive
hydraulic interests in the Atlin country.
1t is generally believed that If this
company has actually secured the
White Horse properties they will at
once determine their value, and salts
factory results will be quickly followed
by mills and smelters.
