Miners 10 Whom She Appealed Were Un-
able 10 Give Her Protection
INDIANS DYING FOR WANT OF FOOD.
Scores Have reTishsd Curing The Past Winter
Terrible Suffering fmong Those Living en-
The Upper Stewart RIvsr.

Victoria, Be, June 13.-Three miners
who have just reached here from the
partially explored headwaters of the
upper Stewart river, tell the story of
young girl slain by the Indians at
the behest Of a medicine man as a sac
rifice 10 ward off starvation
The bnt of the three miners was
snatched open one morning last March
as they sat at breakfast and in rushed
a swarthy Indian girl, who threw her
self down before them and cried Bit
terly. Before they had time to con-
slider the cause of the interruption a
bowling mob of Slwashes. headed by
their medicine man, rushed in and
seized the PROSTATE girl.
The miners, unable 10 save the girl,
followed as she was carried away. She
was taken TO a totem in the center OF
the Indian hamlet, and after the In
dians had danced around her for a few
minutes the chief plunged a knife into
her body and she sank down without
cry.
Ii was not until next day that the
miners were able TO get an explanation
OF the tragedy. The medicine man was
approached by the famine stricken In
dians and asked TO make medicine"
TO the inroads of starvation and send
food. The medicine man called upon
the chief TO make a sacrifice, and the
young girl was chosen as a victim. She
was placed in a hut under guard, but
managed TO escape To the miners camp.
The miners promised secrecy, but
fearing the Indians would kill them TO
insure their silence they lost no time
i'm getting out of the district. They
haze notitied the mounted -pnlice-a and
the troops at the Fort Selkirk bar
racks OF the murder of the girl, and
soldiers will be sent TO arrest the chief.
The trio. Cesare Francisco OF Salt
Lake, Robert Hitchcock of Detroit, and
Richard Silent, a half breed. resident
of Alberta, bring news OF illness and
death among the Indians living in the
vicinity where they have been pros
pecting for the last eighteen months
During the winter starvation has
ravaged the Indian lodges and made
great inroads in the ranks OF the once
powerful Chilkat tribe. the one time
war like rulers of the Indians of the
North. Scores have died for want of
food. With the advent of miners and
spectators in the North the game
seems 10 have been driven far back in
the wilderness.
Roots and dried grass, gathered in
the fall. did not last long, and soon
the Siwash lodges were without food.
One by one the unfortunate famine
stricken Indians dropped off and their
emaciated bodies were laid away in
tree tops.
1t is probable that a relief expedition
will be sent to the famine stricken dis
trict, for last fall the soldiers sent re-
lief parties TO the camps on the lower
Stewart river wlrn food was short.
Many of the returning miners are
well supplied with gold and they say
wealth is TO be washed from Upper
Stewart placers when the problem Of
getting food there is solved.

a III THEATRES
Providence Opera House.


Judged by the many and earnest ex-
presions'of approval by the large audi
ence at the Providence opera House
last evening. the Wilbur Opera Com
pany scored one Of the biggest sue
cesses of the season. The unbounded
generosity OF the managers of the COM
pany was SO thoroughly appreciated
that there is little doubt that the COM
panys season here will prove a big
success. Taking the prices into con-
sideration the program is a wonder.
There is first the ever tuneful and
pretty opera of the Mascotte, then
there are quartet selections, vocal So
los. illustrated songs and living pict-
ures. The principals in the opera sang
well, and the costumes were choice,
correct and elegant.
The opera OF the Mascotte Is one of
the one-time popular operas that
seems to have glNea-a~ay TO otheEal-
legged musical attractions in which
gags OF the day take the place OF true
music. Many who recall the promin-
ence ii once had in popular favor viii
be glad, OF the chance TO see the pres
entat.on this week and renew what
must be the pleasantest of their old
memories. Those who have not seen
the opera or heard its music should see
and hear 1t. Miss Richardson makes a
charming Bettina and Mr.. Vaughn's
voice is heard to advantage as Pippo.
Both he and Miss Richardson left moth
ing TO be desired in their pretty duets.
Mr.. Kohnle made all that was possible
out Of the ever amusing character of
Prince Lorenzo and Mr.. Huntington q
Rocco was equally amusing.
Anna Laughlin, for a child, sings re-
markably well. and her actions are
very cute. One Of the best things she
did, and one that delighted every one
of the large audience, was her clever
singing and imitation OF Pauline Halls
selections that won considerable ap-
plause, while AL. Lamar's illustrated
songs were among the best received
articles on the extensive program. Af-
ter the opera there was a military drill
by the ladies OF the chorus that showed
remarkable precision and won con-
tinued applause. Last on the program
were the living pictures, under the
personal direction OF Maud Daniels.
There was evident great attention TO
matters OF detail in this attractive fea-
ture OF the evening.
The biggest amusement attraction
for the money that was ever given i'm
this city will be at the Opera House
every evening and every afternoon this
-~re-it- and next irt HaSrutt1s- ty,
presented tonight. Tomorrow afternoon
IL Will also be given, while tomorroy
