 Commission Arrives

BIT. A. Bell, of Montreal, Canada, who with Justice Britton, who arrived in this city last week, constituted the royal commission which has been in- vestigating the Treadgold and other Yukon hydraulic concessions, was an arrival on the train last night. He Is accompanied by II. H. Rowatt, chief clerk of the mines records bureau of the department of the interior. and who has possession of the government records which were taken into Dawson, and by Dr. c. A. Laeombe, secretary of the commission. Commissioner Bell is editor and publisher of the Canadian Mining Review and secretary Of the Canadian Institute of Mining Engi- neers.
 lu speaking of the Treadgold and other concessions and the work of the commission, at the Golden North hotel last evening, Mir. Bell said; While have my mind pretty well made up as to the Treadgold and other leases that have been made to portions Of the Klondike gold fields, it would be improper for me to state at this time what that opinion Is The matter Of our report will be determined after we shall have had time to go over the great volume of testimony given by the numerous witnesses and contained in the 2jO exhibits.
 "I may say, however, as a general proposition that it is not for the best interest of placer country to give too much territory to one person or one combination. On the other hand, under some peculiar circumstances, a grant of sufficient importance Go induce the investment of large capital in ma chiuery adds to the permanency of a mining camp. am now speaking as to the general proposition and not us 10 the situation in the Klondike in partic- ular.

 "The gold output of the Klondike will be increased as soon as the change from old methods to the new in work ing the ground shall have been com pleted.

 The members of the commission will go south on the Princess May.

BIT. A. Bell, the junior member Of the royal commission which has been Investigating the Treadgold and other concessions at Dawson, is very pro nouncedly opposed to the custom now in vogue of searching passengers out bound from Dawaon for gold. Particu- larly does he think 1t wrong to apply the custom to women. In speaking of the matter yesterday he said;
 "No delay should be permitted in the discontinuation of the custom of search ing passengers on the trains between Whitehorse and Skagway for gold dust. Particularly obnoxious is the enforce

 George Bonnideld, who lead the van guard to the Panama last spring, in writing, said that Fairbanks is destined to be the largest city in Alaska within four years. He says the country is un- occasionally very rich and that by an- other year several million dollars worth of gold will be taken out from creeks on which only sufficient work has ye, been done to demonstrate their value.
 Tom Bede, Dawsonite, whom it is said knows a good country when he sees it, in letter sending for his brother and mother, who are at Daw- son, says among other things;
 This is going tO be great camp next year as they are finding pay on very nearly all the creeks, and very good pay, that is, from five to eight feet of dirt that will average from Q to 10 cents to the pan. On the whole, I think this country will beat the Klon- dike."
