Marshal J. N. Tanner says there Is not the least need, In hls opinion, of troops at Halnes for the protection of the whites against the Indians. He IS of the opinion the cry coming from Halnes Is merely an agitation On behalf of some of the people there to have soldiers stationed at that point. and that they cannot prove sufficient evidence to warrant the statloning of troops there. The marshal says:
 "l have had men at HaInes. among the natives and othsrs, watching the Indians and listening closely to them to hear what they have to say, and not an authentlcat> ed report has come of any intentions or declaration of intentions on the part of the natives to make trouble over the lmprlson- ment of the Indians implicated in the mur- der of the Hortons. All the demonstra- tlon at Halnes Is a peaeeable one among the Indians, and that made simply in their salvation Mmv.
 "Even were the Indians inclined to harm whites who go out from Halnes to the mines or up the creeks, the statlonlng of troops at Halnes would do no good. The fact soldiers are stationed at Skagway would not keep an Indian, were he SO ln- cllned. from shooting man up the Skag way valley just back of this town.
 "So long as the marshal Is able tc cope with the situation there Is no necessity to call on the troops. There Is absolutely no trouble at Halnes and none threatened, and should call out the soldiers would te conveying the Idea that the marshal could not take care of the situation.
 Just as son as anyone will prove to me that any Indian at Halnes made a threat to commit a depreciation ! shall promptly arrest that Indian.
 "The Halnes situation, although peace able. Is being watched.
 "AS to the letter written at Haines and published in a Juneau paper that four pros peetors known to Jerome, Juneau Squaw man, as Cleve, Anderson, Jim and Sam, had gone up the ChllkOot river last fall. in the face of a warning from the Indians to stay away. and have not since been seen, | do not believe 1t. Had there been such a disappearance the friends of these prospeetors, there being so many men in the party, would certainly have made in' ouirles about them ere thls."

 When he made this discovery. his suspicious fell upon Rivers.
 He keeps his smoking tobacco in . certain drawer of his desk, and Rivers was the only man likely to have med dled with the things in that desk.
 The other night, after Rivers had gone home, Brooks opened new box of that tobacco, took out about half of it and proceeded to doctor the remaining portion.
 He procured several dozen small rub Der bands.
 These he cut with pair of sharp shears into small bits He mixed these bits with the tobacco, stirring the stun till the particles were we'll distributed throughout the mass.
 Then he hunted about for other good moking material.
 He found an old leather glove in Riv' CTS desk.

 Not entirely satisfied with this, he cut generous section from m old oiled rag which he had borrowed from . typewriter young man on the next floor, and when properly reduced to fragments 1t went to swell the grand total in the box, now nearly full.

 GREAT THIS YEAR Two Claims on Eldorado Will Go a Million Each.
SULPHUR'S FINE SHOW
Cisaa-ap wnl Shortly Begin and There s Already a Demand for All the Labor In the Klondiks-- Nome Ru.h Cats Littls Figure.

One Of the members of the Lieutenant Adair party which arrived last night says that the output of gold in the klondike this season will be heavier than ever be- fore. He says further:
 "The employment of SO much maehin- cry the last winter in the country has greatly increased the output. There Is no estimate whlsh wish toQuote as to what the output will be, but it will easily De the banner year. Sulphur has forged to the froni as one Of the great creeks On 46 above, owned bv Warren. the widest pay streak in the country has been diseov- cred. lt Is fourteen feet wide.
 For a while last year the owner would have been glad to sell the property for SIsoo to ssooo. and he was not able to get anyone to take law on the property. A number of holes had been sunk but nothing struck. Al last Warren went out and sunk another hole just beyont the lsst Of the row already down.
 "Much to his surprise he got rich pay, and shortly 1fterwsd was offered s2oo.' ooo foi his claim, and refused the offer. He was but a short while placing on the dump what was estimated to contain s7o,ooo.
 "There are two claims alone in Klondikc which wlll each yield million dollars, o' near that amount. this season. They are both on the famous old Eltorado creek. One of them Is owned bv c. L. Llppy aSd known as No. I6. The other is No I7 owned by Hall & Pickett.
 "The fact the elean-up season Is lus' about on creates a demand for all the lab9f in the market there, and consequently there are not many, fl any Idle men h th' district. The Nome excitement. of course will carry some people out of Dawson, bul there will be others to take the place ol those who leave, and no great need of heiT will be felt bv the mine owners"
