TO COLLECT MUCH CASH
James Rollins, of Skagway. Said
to Have Sold His White Pass
Claims - Took Those Financially
Interested With Him On the
Steamer Ruth to Collect Their
Shares of the PrOoeeds--WillP Put
In Stamp Mills.

Mrs. James Rollins, of White Pass, re-
turned on the Dolphin. and was surprised
to learn that she had passed her husband
on the wav. Mr.. Rollins left on the
Ruth, and according to those financially
interested, has consummated the sale OF
some ten or twelve quartz claims in the
White Pass valley for large amount. So
certain was he that this consummation
was the one to be devoutlv wished, to
quote Shakespeare, that he offered to pay
the fares of all those interested in the
White Pass claims, to Seattle, where they
could draw for themselves their own
share of the proceeds. Those who were
unable by stress of business to Ieaye on
the trip We're to be represented by power of
attorney.
1t was stated that each OF those inter
ested was to receive 81. 10000, but George
Mowl, the we'll known tailor, one of the
parties in interest, said that he and his
partner Frederick Enrich, expected to re-
ceive 50, 900 as their share. They mad
given their powers of attorney to John
Herberger, who had gone to Seattle with
the party to collect. MT. Herberger was
himself int rested and he is supposed to
collect $4,000.
Mr MoGraW, of the railroad was
another of the party, and M and Mrs. S,
Storey. Mr.. Lewis, the working partnet
OF Mr. Rollins, remained to look after the
White Pass claims.
Mr., Mowl was not It liberty to state the
total amount of the purchase money 1t
was understood, he said, that the put-
chasers would begin work as soon as
possible and put in stamp mills.
While those interested have faith that
the sale has been made others are KEEP

Use of the new strikes of both quartz and

fifteen men are employed. 1t is owned by
J. d. Meenach of Seattle, who has pur-

managed to get out from Dawson before
navigation closed. He started from there
on the Nora and arrived here Yesterday
afternoon.
He has been lucky in other respects this
last season. Giving up his retail business
in this CITY and devoting himself entirely
to wholesaling he has made many trips to
the interior with several carloads of
freight each trip, and has disposed of his
goods to such advantage that he said last
night he had decided to build large
wholesale house in Dawson, in connection
with his Skagwav house, and from his
experience of the last summer was conf
dent of being able to compete with the
large companies that have been so long es-
tablshed there.
During his last trip he purchased site
on Third avenue. near the Dawson post
office, had plans prepared for large whole
sale warehouse, and has left them in the
hands of contractors, who will begin its
erection as soon as the weather will per-
init. He SAYS that business is booming in
Dawson, and that his faith in ,Skagwav
as the great supply point for the interior
was as great as ever.
'As soon as can arrange for nv local
trade for this winter am going below to
appoint agents in Seattle and san Francisco
and shall go into the markets of the east

Mr.. EmmonS, who is now in Skagway
has taken great interest in the modus VI
vendi agreement. He SAYS the Canadians
had planned the coup and intended to
take the whole OF the Porcuplne district.
Nv. H. Vckers told me-" said Mr. En-
mons, THAT the whole campaign to cap

that the miners in the Porcupine district

miners did not directly or Indirectly ask
his advice in the matter, nor was it prof
fered by him. -.- .-sa.-.
1.-The reason and the only one. which i'm
PEELED the miners 70 ignore Justice Martin
was the guarantee of Secretary Hav, who
informed us that this government forgoes
no part of its right and power to protect its
citizens in the Porcupine creek region,
whether they be temporarily within Amer
lean or British jurisdiction, in the full en-
loyment of all rights ana privileges which
thew had before the modus vivendi was
concluded. "
This was our advice and we were sat
istied to trust our cause with our govern
ment.
"The secretary of state tells us that
agreement will protect its citizens in the
Porcupine creek region in all the rights we
had prior to signing the treaty. That means,
we believe, that we are not to be moested
in our mining operations and that our diff
ferences, If any, will be adjusted by our
courts, and we failed to see what we had
to discuss or advise about with our hon
orable Canadian visitors"
