LATEST FROM PORCUPINE.
p. Fl. rlcGuire Returns and Talks
 With the News Man.
THE DISTRICT ALL RIGHT

Mir. P. H. Mcclure returned to this city on the City of Grand Rapids last Wednesday night. He has been up in the Porcupine country for the past three months. He was seen by the watchful News man. Mir. Mcclure Is thoroughalIy posted on that district and says the country as a gold producer will turn out all right.
 What is new up in the Porcupine country" asked the News man of MT. McGuire, as he quietly slipped copy of the 'paralyZer" into his hand.
 Well, the very latest Is that Finley, Mix and Wiley, who own Discovery claim on Porcupine, sunk new hole to bedrock last week and found what they consider will pay from ST5 to S1O0 day with sluice boxes.
 "A man named Parker, a mounted policeman from Pleasant camp, came to Haines Mission last week and on his way down stopped at Pete Neasen's claim, No. 1 below Discovery, and he reports that that claim had been re- gently prospected and they took out about S7 in nuggets and dust, and the owner claimed it would produce S3O per day per man.
 "There was also new discovery made at Pleasant Camp that was equal ly as good as the last mentioned claim.
 "There are twenty-nine claims staked on the copper ledge near Police Camp, of which twenty claims are i'll British Columbia and the balance are on the American side. The ore has been as saved and runs $40 to the ton. An eX- pert for an English syndicate and an expert from San Francisco have gone in to purchase this property.
 "Jack Dalton has his saw mill near Porcupine The capacity of the mill will be 10000 feet per day and it will be started as soon as the snow Is off the ground.
 "K. Richardson has Discovery claim near the head of Tahkin on Marble Creek on which he sunk hole, but not to bed rock, and he claims strike of at least $20 per day.
 Several other prOspectors have been at work on their claims and report finds varying from SIP to Sl5 per day.
 "Byron Robinson and the Brackets of Skaguay have some bench claims that show up we'll, and D. k. Roberts has recently located quartz claim near the Robinson bench claims that is a free-milling proposition and an assay showed up S26 to the ton.
 "A number of others have sunk pros pect holes near the head of, and on, the Tahkin river that will produce from S10 to S15 per day"
 "When do you expect the snow to leave the ground?"
 "We expect the snow to leave by the middle of May and good hard work will no doubt commence by the first of June.

The Nevada has made some changes recently. A new steward, and one of the most pleasant gentlemen to be found anywhere, is always on hand to greet you, and new cook, that can't be beat on earth, is there to supply you with anything you want to eat. The Nevada always has been a popular place, but, really, it is more popular now than ever. We don't know that little fellows name that is behind the bar in the daytime, but he is a good one. The good Lord has made a few, jolly, good natured men-he is one of them.
