Another batch Of hiteen victims oi Fakir Rollins arrived on the Victor ian yesterday They did not know the full situation until they got here and conversed with those who had pre- viously arrived, but some of them had slight idea of the iaking character of the gigantic mining project before leaving Seattle. They thought they would chance it. however. and come on. only to find upon landing a whole lot of others who had been duped by the swindler and sent up here to shiit for themselves
 The steamship Senator which was turned back because she had smallpox carries about seventy other victims who in addition to being out their money and lime will now have to go through the quarantine sie"e.
 With II. Heinrich, who came up on the Cottage City to be foreman of the mines which would not be worked the matter has passed its serious stage and has resolved itself into an unalloyed comedy.
 He was seen yesterday and laughed heartily at the whole affair. SO far as it concerns him individually, but he feels keenly the predicament which some of his less fortunately uatediellows have been placed in by the rank fraud per pctrated upon them by Rollins.
 "You sec" he said in talking the affair over. "one of those who came up after our crowd told me he bad d-heen engaged as foreman. asked him whether he had come first or second- class and he said second. We'll, then. I said to him. you must be intended | for second foreman. for travelled first class"
 Mr. Heinrich was told in Seattle by Rollins that one hrst-elass passage would be allowed and that as Heinrich was to be the boss he should have it.
 "Mr. Mill. who has been hired for six months Co be general manager has quit the job, SO we will have 10 be given another. think l might get that job myself for I must stand all right with Rollins or he wouldn't have | let me travel frst-class at my own ex- peuse." he went on dyly. "l don't think a general manager will have much to do. What do you think about itY
 CT have a notion to quit my job any how. and go to Juneau. but that would take money" he continued. But you are working suggested the reporter.
 "Yes. the steamship companies work for money, and I work for cred J it" replied the foreman.
 "The men hired by Rollins in Sc attle are an frst-class miners he humorously went on to recite. "The promoter don't take everybody who ap- | plies for iob not much. II he did he would have several steamships full in a little while He selects them and only the best can pass an examina- tion."
 When Mir. Heinrich came up he bore with him a very large, fat, prepossess- ing looking envelope addressed to Rol- lins' partner, Mir. Lewis. When he had been here only a few hours he ascer- tained the facts about this alleged great mining company and while taking with another party about the affair the let ter was mentioned Mir Heinrich drew it from his inside pocket where ii had been carefully kept on the passage up. As it bore no stamps the sugges- ton was made to open it and no soon CT was 1t done than the action was suited Co the word and the contents wcr taken out and perused. The mis' sive stated in substance that Rollin: had everything ready and would now commence to ship men by every boat and that he worid shortly come him self He is certainly adhering relIg iously to the promise made about shipping men up. bat as to his coming it is rather problametieal whether he does or not
