THE MAN AND THE WIND.

THE MAN.
Wind on the hilltopl
Wind in the treel
Is there aught in earth or heaven
That bindeth thee and me?
through the long hours
Feebly creep and crawl
Ger the green smooth shoulders
OF the huge mountain wall.
Whilst thou in a moment
With roaring skirts outspreed
Leapest from the valley
To the black mountain head.
THE WIND.
Little puny brother,
Why question thus Of mef
There is need of me: doubt not
There is need of thee.
would smite thee were hidden
Without pity, without wrath,
As smite the gauzy May fly
On the rain swept pathi
I envy not, nor question,
As play my eager part,
But think that thou art nearer
To the Fathers hearth

RAILROAD WRECK

A wreck occurred at the yards of the
c. IL N. W. in this city yesterday after
noon, serious in loss of property, but for
tunate in the absence of personal injury.
A freight train, q double header, came
in from the west The custom is to stop
west of the bridge but the engineers
were unable to do so because of the mo-
mentum of the train. A switch engine
was taking water at the tank and see
ing the freight coming tried to get ont
of the way, but instead of starting up
gradually put on too much steam which
made the driving wheels slip on the
track The two engines crashed into
the switch engine and it was driven par
italy off the track and imbedde1 i'll the
ground. The others left the track and
plowed furrow through the earth in
which they Embedded themselves. The
track for a distance of many rods was
torn up. The engineer of the switch

Interesting Information From the AtIin Country.

Interesting Information From the AtIin Country.
 The Skagway-Atlin Budget of the 9th inst. publishes an interview with Mir. J. H. Wright, from which we take the following as of interest to our readers:
 "The mining outlook in Atlin is very promising and the country undoubt- edly rich. Wherever any one is work ing, gold is being taken out, and plenty of it; but throughout the district, the majority of claims are tied up by dis putes, and they must await the arrival of the supreme judge, as the board of arbitration is doing but little in the way of settlements"
 Of the creeks, all of them show up we'll wherever work is being done, and the frost is nearly gone.
 Bert Farrar took out seven pounds of gold for run of four days, and had the stuff to show.
 John Stanley took out one pan from the bedrock of one of his claims that showed SIS.
 w. A. Bell on No. ? above discovery, on Birch creek, had S62 for the work of four men one half of day.
 Samuel McCauley, on his Pine creek bench claim, which is called Nugget Point, rocked out S27 in half @ day, and on this and adjoining claims, nuggets are so frequent, that it has been called Nugget Point.
 John Stanley's claim is now tied up by claim of Fitz Miller, and the dis pute must be settled before either of them do further work.
 All the 25O foot claims under the original locations, arc idle, pending settlement. The Mckee Creek Mining company are getting ready bedrock Hume and sluice boxes, preparing for hydraulic operations"

The Juneau Elks had fine blow out last week. The editor of the News could not be there and of course it was not written up for the local papers. We will, however, not miss another one of these gatherings. Since the last meeting, Ex-Gov. Swineford succeeded Judge Delaney as exalted ruler. The Governor called the meeting to order and made C. S. Blackett chairman, who started the fun in good shape, but he was soon succeeded by J. J. Thornton, who is one of the best presiding off, cers to be found anywhere.

4 MONSTER CELEBRATION
All Former Events to be Out done. Grandest Celebra-
 ton in Alaska.
OVER 5000 SUBSCRIBED,

Plans are rapidly being formed for a monster celebration on Douglas Island on July 4th. The committees are now all hard at work and full arrangements will soon be completed.
 At the meeting last Friday night the committee on finance reported progress as did the music committee. Chair man Willis appointed the following ad. ditional committees:
 Committee on Sports: A. Mackay, Chas. A. Hopp, A. Williamson, John Egan, k. Bertram, c. A. LindstrOm, pr. w. L. Harrison, and D. J. Milan. Committee on Arrangements: A. Murray, Raymond Robins, E. McCOr- mick, A. Hunter, D. Mckay, J. Laugh lin, c. A. Phelps, and J. Cashen.
 At the regular meeting last Monday night the committee on Finance re- ported subscriptions already obtained amounting to over 5000 and some to come in yet.
 All mining operations close down on the Fourth, and the employees cele- brate from early morning till late at night.
 A dance is being arranged for that will surpass anything ever held ID the district.
 The committee on sports are plan ming a general good time for every body. There will be races for boys and races for girls, for working men and prOfes- sionals. Sack races, hurdle races, needle races, three-legged races and a tug-o-war will also be included. There will be a large purse for Indian canoe races, also for boat racing. In fact the entire day is to be filled up with fun.
 We hope by our next issue to be able to publish a complete program of the days exercises.
 Everybody is enthusiastic and since the beginning of the work the word mo" has not been heard on the Island.
 The next regular meeting of the 4th of July association will be next Mon. day evening at Ohman's hall.

Taking the country as a whole the outlook is very promising, and were it not for the adverse legislation would rapidly develop. The tramway from Taku Arm to Atlin is built, but the buckets and a portion of the mecha- nism are not in place. At each end of it is a wharf, and there are two com modios wharves at Atlin City.
 On No. ' above discovery on Pine creek, Campbell, owner of the Caledo- nian group of claims, took out recently nugget weighing 13 ozs., IA pvt. Those who saw it say it was a beauty, and looked like a big potato. It won't take many in hill to please MT. Campbell or any one else.

The Grand Jury's Report.

While there may be much that is wise and good in the report of the grand jury, yet many Douglas Island people have expressed themselves as not in sympathy with all of it's senti- ments. especially the sweeping criti- cism of Dr. Jackson. Douglas Island may be a favored spot, but it is q fact that the educational agent has been very kind to this place. One of the teachers on the Island in conversation with News reporter said that she had never asked for anything for her school but it had been forthcoming; The Douglas school house is too small, but it is not the fault of the department or of pr. Jackson either. No one could have anticipated the rapid growth and increase in population that this city has experienced in the last year. We believe in giving the devil his due, but honor to whom honor is due is just as good maxim.

B. F. Benson Puts In a Few Weeks Looking Over That Country. Gold Everywhere
 in Alaska.


 A News man struck MT. B. r. Benson on the new wharf in Juneau last Mon day afternoon. He has been out pros, pecting and the scribe is always out after these fellows.
 "When did you get back?" asked the writer, "and where have you been|
 'I returned last Sunday night, and I was up the Taku. was hunting for gold, of course, and l brought back some quartz, some of which l think is all right?"
 "What do you think of that for a mining County?"
 "Well, there was too much snow there yet to tell much about it. l am going back in a few days and as soon as the snow is off the ground l will be able to say more about it. As far as l have been able to find out, 1 think the coun- try is all right. There is gold in every part of southeastern Alaska"
 "Is there any placer down thero?"
 'Yes, l found some placer ground, but was after quartz principally"
 "HOw is prospecting up there, the same as in all other places?"
 it is an awful hard country to prospect in. worked two days cutting a trail into a place 1 wanted to pros peCt and it wasn't far either.
 "I cannot tell you much now. l don't know but when l come back, l will tell you all about it" and the News man said good bye.
 Mir. Benson understands prospecting. He can do his own assaying and he is in good health and possesses an end less amount of nerve and endurance. He will find something good up there He knows more than he would tell the News man at this time. The News hopes he may strike it rich.
