HAS SOLD MORE STOCK
The Work of ofTransforming tho Well
 Known Group From a Fine Pros- poet Into n Great Dividend Payer Will Now Bo Pushed-Win Com tribute to Greatness of Skagway

The Engineer Mining Company is preparing for great activity the com ing season. IL is learned from those in positions to know, that the com pany has succeeded in disposing of large block of treasury stock outside of Skagway. While the officers of the company seem unwilling Co give spe- cifc information it is quite sure that the first thing on the program IS the surveying of the entire group of thir- teen claims with a view to securing q crown grant
 An exhaustive examination of both surface and underground Showings will then be made and with the inioma- ton already gathered. the manage ment will be enabled to transform the promising prospect into a mine. and beyond doubt a dividend payng Gine. if present indications do not deceive c, oryone who knows the proDcrty. The company has fitted up elegant offices in the rooms formerly occupied by Church & Day. over the postofiicc, and there is such an air of prosperity about the place that all are satisfied that the general report concerning the true state of affairs is correct
 The president, Mir. H. R. LcFeIrc. has returned from short trip to Se- attle with 'he secretary and it is gencr- ally known that they went there for the express purpose of closing a sale for treasury stock. Mir. Elias Ruud. the secretary. has more cheerful courtc- nance. and it is learned that a number of men will be employed in addition to those at work at the present time. The latest reports from the inside tell of the discovery of still more ore of ex- trcmely high grade The Alaskan takes pleasure in being able to give this information to its readers. as it is known that a great many Skagway peo- pie are interested directly or indirectly in the welfare of this company. A few more mining properties in the vicinity of this city with Skagway people at the head-aud the great future of Skagway will be assured It is bound 10 come and the sooner the better The people are satisfied that the Engineer Mining company is but the pioneer mine of many that will help making a great mining center of Skagway

Con- nell. the ships popular captain, is go- ing Co keep open house in honor of attaining the century mark li the skipper does this and he uncorks the choicest which the vessel always has aboard m abundance, some queer things may happen-ihingS more peculiar by far than those which took place at the now famous banquet of the "5I club at the Pack Train restaurant the other evening. It must be admitted that great things occurred there. but the elixir which Capt Cornell will dis pcnsc with his we'll known liberality is capable of far greater oddities lf he does hold a reception it is entirely improbable that Agent Kelly will talk an hour on transportation. He will be placed hors de combat long before the expiration of that time He may clucidate awhile on bugology and then quit. lt is likewise very improbable that a certain other gentleman will sit all evening and chew the end of a green onino or piece of lettuce as was done at the late sumptous rcpast
 Dr. Moore has received a tip that the reception is Co be held and is pre- pairing a suitable address He will not discourse upon anything SO tame as microbes but will start out. it is said. on the "reminiscences of scow building After he has enjoyed the benefits ci Capt Councils inspiration" he is very apt Co conclude with a diagnosis of the cutrate disease. Mir Pope, the com pary's agent. is not saying much-he did not say much at the Pack Train affair He is very apt Co say even less at this reception. unless he makes hi, speech very early in the evening It is undecided who will represent the press on this occasion, but as there are several who have great capacity no difficulty will be encountered in this score.
 One rcgrcttable feature will be the unavoidable absence of Mir. Eugene Leddy. "thc forwarding agent for the United tates government. t.
