It has not been worked because all the claims are owned by those who are operating on Porcupine. Those who have done their assessment work all found good pay. Quite number of Porcupine miners last fall to test the creek put little steam pump in and worked down on Jack Dalton's Glacier creek claim.

 "Casey isn't in it with friend of mine when it comes to killing bears," said former Atlinite who has just re- turned from the Dominion telegraph expedition, to Skagway News man "When we were building the northern end of the line and were about half way down the coast between Atlin and Telegraph we got into the greatest game country in the world. It was there in all sizes and varieties. There were birds everywhere, small animals, deer, elk and caribou and bear enough to fill every menagerie in the world. The elk were so thick that in places VIC ran across their stamping ground, where they had stamped down the grass and brush; in fact had beaten the ground so bare that it looked as tho cattle corral was in operation there. But about that bear story: You see we made such a racket along the line with our big crew and pack animals and live stock, that we frightened the game away from our line for several miles, but the advance crew was con- stantly meeting big game, and whenev- CT there was any occasion for any one to go back the line to one of the sta tions we had constructed they found the bears fairly climbing the telegraph poles. The buzzing of the wire made the bruins think the poles were bee trees, guess, and they are partial to wild honey. This friend of mine, you know, left his watch hanging on peg in one of the stations and never missed it until we had worked about 10 miles down the line. After supper that night it was Saturday-he started back to get the watch and some other things the boss had left. There were blankets and provisions in the cabin, and after he got there he fixed up shake-down and rolled in for the night. He had hardly got settled down when he was awakened by bear scratching at the door. He got his Winchester into ac- tion and the bear was dead before he got forty feet from the house. Before the sound had hardly died away he saw another brown fellow coming down the line in the bright moonlight. He didn't get him, but he sat up until midnight, and in that time eight bears came sweeping around the cabin and he got five of them. I'm going back there and hunt and trap. It's the greatest game country in the world"

tion in China is increasing in seriousness,
and that the utmost concern is felt by the
Government for the safety Of Americans
and American interests now threatened by
the Boxers.
Before noon the State and War Depart
ment officials held a conference on the
matter. The War Department was asked
for information as to the number of troops
which could be spared from the Philip
pines for service in China After care
ful consideration OF the strength Of the
garrisons around Manila, it was stated that
5000 men could be allowed. It was further
announced that General Macarthur had

Samuel Gompers President of the Ameri-
can Federation OF Labor, and other labor
leaders are present for the purpose Of hav-
ing Mr. Thompson properly and thoroughly
questioned.
At the meeting this morning Henry F.
DeyiRs, Secretary Of the National Metal

gard to the plan and scope Of the organ
ization which he repre- sents and It's eOnnec-
tiOn with the Chicago strike CT the Inter-
national Association OF Machinists- Mr..
Devins gave his views Of the causes which
led 10 the strike. and explained the char
acter Of the Chicago agreement between
the two associations which pat an end to
the strike. Mr.. Devins stated that two
claims Of thl agreement which had been
accepted BY both signatees, had been
omitted from the printed copy Of the agree
ment which the international Association
OF Maehinists had prepared for distribution
among its members
The testimony was elected from Mr..
Devins that in American shops indeatured

selves with sufficient information TO be
able properly TO srbitrate trade questions.

Chicago agreement which required within
two weeks, a meeting CT the arbitration
board for the presentation Of questions that

Under such an agreement, which had
