had sacks Of from 5000 to $1,000 each
while several Vancouver merchants

The most interesting news brought by
the Amur was that Of the finding Of the
body Of Karl Olson, who was murdered
last December with Cayson and Kelfe,
two other American citizens. Olson, =
body was found on a sand bank near Sci
kirk and was taken down to Dawson by
the steamer Yukoner
Passengers leaving Dawson 10 days ago
on the Columbian met the Yukoner going
down the river. There were said to be
marks Of violence on Olson's body, and
the authorities consider the evidence VI
his murder conclusive.

gun accidently discharged and the con.
tents OF one barrel emp,ied into his fore

turning out much better than expected.
Dr. Carol, a prominent physician OF
Vancouver, spent several days on claims
on bunker, and says several men there
were taking out 500 an hour.
Captain John Irving, well known
steamship owner and former member Of
parliament, came down on the Amur. He
states, on the authority Of government
officials in Dawson, that the gold yield
on the Yukon for the season il much
