.HENEYCOMES
Former W. P. Contractor
 EnrOute to Dawson.

Michael J. Hensv, who has played sueh an important part ln the history of Skag- way as chief contractor for the White Pass & Yukon and who has the contract Co build the Rlondlke Mines Railway, Is ex- pected to arrive on the Dolphin tomorrow. He will probably be accompanied by Alfred Williams who will be assistant engineer on the raihoad. PaSsengers who arrived on the Princess Miv brought the Information and they quote Mr. Hsney as saying that it Is hoped to have men on the ground ln two weeks at most Sur veys over the greater part Of the route have been made and approved, 30 con- slruction work will not be deliyed. li possible [, 500 men will be set to work, though perhaps lt will be difficult to ob- tain that large a force on the start. lt Is announced that si cents an hour will be the lowest wages paid.
 At Dawson the road will start up the Klondiks valley to a point where the waters Of Eldorldo and Bjnanzl creek flow into the Klondike rlvsr, thence the route will be northward over an elevation gen erallv termed the divide or the head Co the vicinity of the upper Stewart river, on which are mlny valuable mining pro pertles. lt Is the present intention to build about & miles of track, but, of course, Che Tails will be extended northwart as far and as fas, as demands require. lt Is not expected to have il finished this distance ln less than two years. There will not be much difficult In building at least 90 miles a year, as we can work all lhe year through and the country Co be tra- ysrssd Is not of great roughness. There no engineering fsats of magnitude to be performed along the Hoe.

 The attention of the Alaskan has been called to the non-patronage Of the grand stand. Possibly there VIII be TO persons on the bleaehsrs to TOO who occupy the logs, fences, etc., on the side of the diamond. lt only costs 2sc. to get a seat ln the grand stand and as this revenue all goes towards purchasing bats, balls and other diamond needs, it Is only fair to the players, to pltronlze the grandstand and show our expectations of the national sport by thus helping the players.

Hlrsehfsld, editor of the Atlln Claim and secretary of the Atln board of trade, had assured the committee that Atlin would contribute at least 200 10 the throng who would be here on the Fourth Of July. This added to the enthusiasm.
 O. course, the fact was not overlooked that to get the big crowd that was expect ed to come skaGway would require money, and ways and means of raising funds were considered. While it was decided Una the main reliance would be on publit sub serlp,lon other methods were dlseussei'
 Among the plans for Srousing Interest in the affair and incidentally to rllse money which was adopted was the election of a Goddess of Liberty. An ordei has al- ready been placed for tickets.

Of operations upon the new building for

is to cost S2.4-9 900 and is so far COM
pieted that by January I next. the Pub
