Two Brave Irish Lads.

Devlin and Conway, of Tralee, stand
forward and let us all have good look
at you; for, though your gallantry was
vain, that was not your fault, and you
are both heroic Irish lads! So writes
a contributor to an English magazine.
A fire broke out at night in their ma
tive town. 1t did its work quickly and
cruelty. By and by it was whispered
in the crowd that two children were in
the burning house. That was enough
for Devlin and Conway. Forcing their
way through the front windows, in
spite of the fame and smoke, they
searched for the poor BARNS, and at
last brought them out. The pity of it
was that these two plucky fellows
were too late, for the children were so
badly burned that they died of their
hurts. But God bless these two Irish
boys for doing what they could to save
the children.

Dawson News Tells of the
 Flood

A tremendous loss in work has been caused by the floods on Bonanza creek says the Dawson News.
 A majority Of the big claims on the creek below it's junction with Eldora- do were open for summer operations The water has entirely undone the work of the miners.
 The damage wrought reaches a ter mendous magnitude already and worse is yet to come.
 Miners are battling with the distruc' tion-bearing waters, in an almost hope less effort to save the fruit of win ter's hard work.
 Today may tell the story.
 If the sun continues warm this after noon the worst is feared. On account of the gusher ice the torrent in the val ley of the creek is six or ten feet high CT than it's normal level.
 The late season with the consequent sudden melting of the snow on the hill sides and the gusher ice are responsi for the devastation which has fallen or the lower creek.

Ice Is Moving Out of Lake

Whitehorse, May 2j.-Ice was moving out of Lake La Barge yesterday and to- day. The strong warm South wind is having an effect on the ice. It is also causing the water to rise a few inches. It is now nine inches above the low water mark.
 The jam at Hell Gate is so far cleared out that small boats can get through.
 The Sybil is still above Selkirk, though the jam has moved out at the latter place.
 The Thistle got away from Hoota- linqua for Dawson at noon.
