Within the last thirty-six hours there has occurred In Skagway the denouement to drama in real life. the scenes of which have been laid all the way from gay Paree to a wild and woody Alaskan mining camp.
 The original cast of characters lnclud- ed four females. three of whom stand out In bold relief as the heroines. while the fourth. who originated the plot. may ap- propriately be designated as the villain,
 But in the closing scenes other char acters were necessary to bring about a fl- naIe which waS perhaps not anticipated by the designing ana consciencclcss strumpet whose greed for gold at any sacrifice brought shame. misery and no- toricty to three innocent and defenseless girls. one Of whom. correctly speaking, was nothing more than child.
 The name of this brazen destroyer of that which every good woman holds most dear. appears on local hotel register as somnier No place of residence Is given. and the hand writing is one that a call graphist would describe as Indicating du- pllclty combined with force
 The woman. who Is nothing more nor less than a French procuress. remarked Co people In Atlin last year that she was going to France for the purpose of bring Ing hack a few attractive girls whom she would place in a bagnlo when she rctnn' cd to Alaska.

The girls had been iurcd from their homes with prom lscs of employment In magnificent hotel at Atlln. where the scenery was repro sentcd Co be more grand and majestic than that of the Alps. and where the ycIfarc of the innocents would be look sd after by the solicltous and philan- thronic Somnicr.

 White Horse
English Companies Have Two Min- ing Experts In tho Field Look ing Over Copper and Gold Quartz ptrties-Capitnl Interested

WHITE HORSE. Nov. ii-Rumors are again rife in this city that n powerful English company has representatives here looking into several of the copper prop critics In this vicinity.
 For the past two weeks gentlemen who seem to have plenty of money to spend have been picking up all odds of informa- ton about mining. When pressed for information they have nothing to say.
 Before navigation closed. two engineers from Dawson. in the employ of one of the English companies who are interest cd in quartz properties in the Interior. came here and paid several visits to the mines out from the city. It is not known whether they made n favorable report. The experts now here are experienced mining men, as can be readily seen from their conversation.
 It has been reported that big deal was on. but no particulars have as yet been made public.
