 Miss Burke of the Fifth Avenue hotel received a letter, written on Easter Sunday, from Mir. Runner yesterday, and speaking of the Chicken creek dis trict, he says:
 Chicken creek is hard at work talk ing out dumps and the camp looks very prosperous. They will have a big clean up this summer. They will com mence cleaning up about May lj. l have been over all the creeks all ground for miles around is located, but this coming January 1, three-fourths of it will be open for relocation again as there are only about 200 people in the camp and there must be 5000 claims located.

 When Mir. Runner wrote he was within 90 miles from the head of the Panama river, and he stated that he ex- pected to be building boats inside of four days, when he said he would begin a trip that few had ever made before, down the Panama from its source 2j0 miles to the foot of Bates rapids, near where on the Cinema river, is situated Fairbanks the capital of the new min ing district Mir. Runner was delighted with the country and was very hopeful for favorable outcome for his venture. He said the party was in good health and was enjoying the trip very much.
 Mir. Runner says he will prospect several creeks upon which no white man has been while making the run down the river to Fairbanks.

GREAT TlMF
Presbyterian Reception Was
 a Big Success.

The reception given for the benefit of Rev. James Thomson, Rev. N, B. Harrison and Dr. s. Hall Young, last night, passed of in manner that could but please those who have work ed so hard to make it success. The only disappointing feature in connec' ton with the whole affair was the ab- sence of Rev. N. B. Harrison, who felt that his duty called him to Haines and to which point he went on the City oi Seattle.
 II. NJ. Lay presided and made a speech to the pastors, and Dr. Young and Rev. Thomson responded The program included performances by Keller's orchestra, a violin, guitar and mandolin trio by soldiers. There were also vocal and instrumental quartettes. Refreshments were served by the ladies.
 The whole affair was creditable to the committee having it in charge, Mrs. |. Sowerby, Mrs. P. II. Ganty, Mrs. W. $. Sparks aud Mrs. J. D. Stine- baugh.

Alaska is to be connected with the states by wireless telegraphy. That Is the message Albert l.. New, of Los Angeles, general manager of the Pacific Wireless Telegraph company who was a round trip passenger on the City of Seattle brought to the people ol the North. Work on the stations for that purpose will be commenced about June 1, and will be pushed with all pos sible dispatch to completion.
 Mir. New, who was seen on board the City of Seattle yesterday, stated that his company would build the first station at Seattle. The second will be for a long distance equipment and will be built at Cape Flattery. There will then be a long distance station built at Dutch harbor. From the station at Dutch harbor it is proposed to transmit messages to Nome, or any point on the Alaskan coast, on which stations will be built at Skagway, Juneau and such other points as it will appear that busi- ness will warrant.
 Mir. New states that no difficulty Is expected in the operation over the die tance from Cape Flattery to Dutch harbor, as this is but a matter of equip ment. He says his company has oper- ated successfully distance exceeding 800 miles and that a stronger equipment could as easily operate 1900 miles.

 Mir. New presented his interviewer with several copies of the "Wireless, v a daily newspaper which ispublishedon Santa Catilina island and which secures all it's news from San Pedro, distance of 90 miles away. The line handles 500 words per hour without difficulty, and for ten months ithas beenn operation, delivering press and commercial matter and there has never been a moment during all that time when it has failed to respond.
 Mir. New had letters from E. A. Beardsley, general manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company and from Gen. Harrison Gray Otis, Of the Los Angeles Times, both of whom testify to the effectiveness and satisfac- tory working of the lines of the Pacific Wireless Telegraph Company in Cali fornia, and both those gentlemen are satisfied that it is the proper thing for Alaska. Mir. Beardsley, who began his connection with the Western Union as a telegraph operator, and who has worked up to the head of that big con cern by sheer merit and practical knowledge, refused to recommend the system until he tried it personally.

He handed the old darky a little box
of bread pills, and the old woolly-head
departed with broad grin OF happi-
ness no less because he had got free
medicine than because his own dag
nosis OF his case had been so promptly
accepted.
