W1RK ON THE
 TUbUKTOLIK
A Number of Miners Are Staying With That SeCtiOn=-The
 Mail Service.

John D. Flanagan, Tubuktolik mining man, left for that section yes terday. MT. Flanagan is confident that good ground will be struck in that section, and he and d number of others will spend the coming winter in doing development work. Last winter Fisk X Noren sank hole l0G feet deep in Otter creek, but did not reach bedrock. The work will be continued next win ter. Some work was done this summer on Camp creek, with fair results.
 rho peopic in the Tubuktolik coun- try are anxious to have tntip camp in cluded in mail service between COun- cl and Candle. Boulder creek, on which the camp is located. is about midway between Council and Candle. and the announced intention of the postollice department to abandon the CounciI-Candle route and establishing q route from Teller to Candle is vigor- ously condemned, as it should be.

THE INMACHUK
 WILL PAY WELL
To Operate as a HydrauIicking Propositions Prospect.
 ing Done.

The Inmachuk country is not, as most people imagine, merely & late summer proposition. It is d broad river bed with pay as far as prospect ed. extending twelve miles up stream and perhaps sixty feet wide. It is probable that the pay extends much further, but that far there has been good prospecting done. The pay runs from 10 cents to the pan as high as several dollars, though it is probable that it will average b to 9 cents per pan. ..
 Only 8 few claims have been pros pected, but those that have been show that they contain good pay dirt. IL appears to be both summer and a winter proposition, and the nearness ot coal beds shows that it can probably be profitabIy worked during the winter season. Quite number of steam drawers have been put into place this summer, and it is probable that after this season the Inmachuk country will be worked all the season around. f i,, !.

TIN MINES
 or YORK .r z Fifteen Tons Ready for
 Shipment. WORK THIS YEAR
Has Successfully Demonstrated the Fact That Tin Exists in
 Commercial Quantities.

The Alaska Tin Mining Co. has fif-
 teen tons of stream or placer tin ore
 which will be shipped to Seattle and
 forwarded thence to Providence, l.. I. This ore was mined the present season, and the outlook for future operations is considered entirely satisfactory. Presi- dent Nadon, of the Alaska Tin Co. has perSohally superintended the work this summer. Stream tin has been found in paying quantities, but not in single claims, and the ground, in order to pay, must be worked on q large scale. Sto- ries to the effect that S40 and $50 a day can be made, to the man, are without foundation in fact. The Alaska Tin Co. worked this season 600 yards of ground and took out fifteen tons of ore, which assays 90 per cent. Mir. Nadon says that he travelled over 20 square miles of territory and found placer tin everywhere, but, as already stated, the ground must be handled on a large scale, and, with good management, it can be made to pay well. Mining ma chinery is needed to secure to best re- suits, and iu d short time fair share of the worlds tin product will be pro dueed from the tin placer deposits of the York region.
 The work done this year by the Alas ka Tin Mining Co. was largely experi- mental, but it proved 50 satisfactory, that next :! ear work will be prosecuted on large scale; plant will be put in to concentrate the ore, and the product will be shipped 10 Swansea, Wales, for further treatment. The company will invest Sl5, 900 in it's York plant, and next year they expect to take out be- tween 400 and 600 tons.
 In order to provide transportation facilities Mint river will be improved so that it con be naVigas ad-wi th--ss;~- boats, thus ieavlng only siA mntS of land transportation to be furnished. A steam wagon will be used for this pur- pose, and the cost of moving the ore to tide water will be reduced to the lowest possible point.
 The tin placer deposits in the York region arc found in stringers of slate. The ore which will be sent out this fall will be held until next year when the first shipment will be made toSwansea.

 Hutchinson would supply the necessar, powder, fuse, etc. He did, making another trip to Teller r the purpose Upon his return the cut was run and a ten-foot face exposed in the dyke. which is at least 100 feet wide. Six sacks of ore were taken out, some of il being decomposed, but the greater DOT tions solid tin quartz, in which the crystals are plainly visible.
 Seventeen claims have been located. and of this number Mr. Hutchinson bonded eight The price is a substan- tial one. The ore brought down by MT. Hutchinson shows Outcroppings, slabs from tin quartz in place, gouge matter from the vein showing the char acter, of the gOuge, and concentrates
 Speaking of the discovery yesterday MT. Hutchinson said: "If prospectors will go into thGt section and hunt for contacts of intrusive granite dykes in limestone, they will find lodges, almost beyond doubt. Mir Collier, of the U. $. geological survey, made assays of this ore in ''coOk stove way" for the lOcators. He took the decomposed rock and with charcoal and baking soda made tests which showed up the tin in fine style. These tests can be made easily and cheaply, and Grim and Rand have small bricks of tin which they assayed themselves. 1 will come in next spring thoroughly equipped to prove the continuity and depth of this tin ledge, and have no doubt that the results will be entirely satisfactory"
 The ore brought down by MT. Hutch inson will run from 10 to l. per cent. in tin, while the tin crystals from the decomposed ore will average 60 or 70 per cent. Ore from the Delacoath mine in Cornwall, England, assayed only three per cent. at the surface. MT. Hutchinson will take the six sacks of ore to Pittsburg.

No Ground for Action.

The case of the city against the agents of the steamship companies is dismissed.
 The agents of the various steamship companies who were placed under ar rest few weeks ago, were dismissed by Justice Shields yesterday. It will be remembered that they were arrest ed for failing to take ont license as ticket brokers. The city attempted to prove that they were brokers, and SO came under the ordinance requiring ticket brokers lo take out license. The case was of course fought on both sides, and Judge Shields decided that the agents were not brokers, and so did not come under the ordinance. The case was dismissed and the money that hand been paid under protest was re- funded. This ended the case of the city against the ticket agents. If a license is to be charged them. it will have to be under some other ordinance than that already passed.

left the district subsequent to MT. Van Eeer, says that a $l5.20 nugget had Leen found on No. 5. One thousand dollars in gold was sluiced from the rim on No. ,, but no bedrock could be taken out because of high water.
 'There is gravel and quartz coun- try on the Kobuk," Mr. Van Lser said, including some great hydraulic pro- positions. But little real work has been done as yet, though the outlook is excellent for good mining district. There were not more than p people in that country when I left, and we net 25 more going up the river with outfits and supplies for the winter. There is no grub there, except what each man takes with him, and there is an excellent opportunity for store. One hundred or more men will winter there, and next summon good show ing will be made. Several other par ties who have been prospecting in that section claim to have found pay. and good prospects have been found on Wesley, Dahl and Bear creeks.

that he happened to learn of the find. Mir. Hutchinson represents a number of Pittsburg capitalists who are closely related to the American Tin Plate As sociation. It was in the interests of these people that he came to Alaska. The story of the find is best told by MT. Hutchinson in substance as follows:
 "The man who deserves credit for this discovery is w. J. O'Brien. for mer longshoreman at Nome, who also has worked at mining on Snow gulch and other creeks. O'Brien backed Leslie Grim and Chas Rand, of Teller, and in May last Grim and Rand made camp at the mouth of Lost river, 20 miles this side of York. They intend ed to go into Arctic district by way of Buck creek, but they did not get there. In prospecting on Lost river they found an intrusive granite dyke on & creek which they named Casserite, a tribu- tary of Lost river, four miles from it's mouth. Lost river is l5 miles from Buck creek, where so much placer tin has been found. Before locating the ground Grim and Rand returned to Teller, where they met Arthur J. Col Her, of the United States Geological Survey, and they showed him samples of the float quartz they had found. Mir. Collier and his associate, MT. Hesse went to Lost river and investigated for themselves. MT. Collier was con vinced that the men had found tin in place"
 Mr. Hutchinson reached Teller Au- gust en route to Shismareff to meet the men he had sent into that sec tion earlier in the season. At Tel Ter he heard of the strike on Lost river, and the report was confirmed by Mir. Hess, but he and MT. Collier refused to divulge the location, because of prom ises made to the locators not to do so. Mir. Hutchinson, however, was enabled to meet Grim, and together they started for Lost river. Grim and Rand agreed

 IS ALL RIGHT
What an OId.Time Yukon Miner Has to Say of That
 Country.

J. C. Bcary, well known mining man of this section and the Yukon country as well, recently returned from
 the Cinema country, on the Panama. Mr. Beary says that that region will develop good gold camp. The de. velopment of the country is being re- tarded, according to Mr. Beary, by the lack of mining supplies and provisions. Taken as whole, Mir. Beary thinks the Cinema section is a low grade propo- sition, but that it will produce \ large amount of gold is certain. There is q and developments this summer may he expected to prove entirely satisfactory.

That tin ore exists in placer in Sew ard peninsula has been fully demon strated.
 A ledge 100 feet wide has been dis covered on Casserite creek, tributary of Lost river, which enters Bering sea about 20 miles this side of Cape York. The locators of the ledge are, Leslie Grim and Chas. Rand, of Teller. Their packer and partner is w. J. O'Brien, a former longshoreman and miner oi Nome. For year or more past he fur nished Grim and Rand with the neces- sary means to prospect the York sec tion for tin. Grim and Rand had start ed for the Arctic slope, but they did not reach it, because they found what they were looking for on the Boring sea divide. The discovery is pro- nounced by mining men to be the most important yet made in Alaska. It promises to be the greatest tin discov- cry that the world has known. Placer tin has been found in considerable quantities, and for two years past many men have been looking for the ''mother tin lode." That it has been found can not be doubted, and great impetus will be given to the mineral develop ment of Seward peninsula.
 Yesterday morning Jos. H, Hutchin- son came down from Teller with six sacks of tin quartz. To the merest mining tyro it was evident that big find had been made, and that find dem onstrated that tin actually exists in place in this section. Mr. Hutchinson is a mining man of experience; he was for six years uperintendent of the Trade Dollar mine near Boise, Idaho, and he served term as lieutenant governor of that state. Mir. Hutchin- son came to Nome early last month. He lays no claim to recognition so far as the tin discovery is sc0ncerned. though he has bonded eight claims for a good round sum. It was only by accident

McGraw was much pleased with the
showing of his men and he encouraged
and coached them throughout the
game. He is particularly gratified
with the showing of Cronin and
Mathewson and said that they are in
shape now TO go in and pitch pennant
ball. The other twirlers are a bit sore
in the arms and shoulders from the
hard practices, but it is gradually
working out. There was not much life
in the game, or at least the teams were
not sufficiently matched to make fast
playing necessary.
The teams lined up as follows:

SAVANNAH VERSUS
MACON AND ATLANTA.
bowling Teams From the Three
Cities to Meet in Macon

bowling Teams From the Three
Cities to Meet in Macon
Instead of two-sidsd bowling game
between Atlanta and Savannah in Ma
con. as has been announced and ex-
pected, a three-cornered match has
been arranged to be played between
Macon, Atlanta and Savannah on the
Colonial alleys in Macon next Thurs
day night. There are three alleys
there. and the three teams will play
at the same time, each playing a game
on each of the alleys. The team which
makes the greatest number of pins
in the three games will win the match
and the trophy offered for the match
by the Brunswick-Balke Company. The
trophy is a silver bowling ball, sup
ported on tripod of bowling pins,
handsomely executed and valued at
about $50.
The Savannah team will be captain
ed by Mr.. NJ. A. O'Byrne and made
up of five of the following players, all
of whom are members of the Inter
Club Bowling League teams: Messrs.
w. L. Lindsay, W. G.. Austin, Rogers
Woods, Fred Garden, Henry Blum, Jr..
A. P. Felts and w. c. Mcintyre. A
rate OF one and One-thiTd fare has been
offered by the railroads for parties of
twenty or more. The team will leave
Wednesday night, so as to be in Ma
con early, and have some time to spare
before the game. 1t is expected that
twenty or more will go in the party.
1t is thought also that another party
of more than twenty will go up on the
morning train, which will give them
the whole afternoon in Macon before
the game. The match will begin at
$3.50 O'Clock and be finished shortly aft
er II o'clock. The Savannah party will
leave on the Central train about 1
o'clock that night and arrive in the
city at o'clock a. m, city time.
Some time after the match in the
near future another match will be ar
ranged between the three teams to be
played in this city and a third match
will be played later on in Atlanta.
The Atlanta team is much puffed up
on itself and thinks there will be no
chance for anybody else much in the
match Thursday night, and no doubt
have about decided where they will
put the trophy when they get back
home, but unless all signs fail. when
the Savannah combination of cavalry
men, Country Boys and Indians get
behind the Gate City folks they will
have to get mighty gait on them to
get that trophy.
