The Dayton & Western statement
which has also been filed. gives the

BurWash Miners Prepare
 Active Season

Fred Costello, of this city, has re- ceived a letter from Henry Itjen, written at Burwash creek, April i, saying that claim owners on that creek are preparing for an active summers work. They are hauling lumber, logs and other material, making sluice box es and otherwise getting ready for bus mess. Some of them are drifting there and have doing so for most of the winter.
 Mir. Itjen says he arrived on the creek with his brother and the latter's wife, March 3l. They found N. J.. Black and Tom Mcdonald, of Skaway, already there. A Mir. Smith, who also has been in this city, was there.
 Dr. Sugdon was drifting on his claim and had been doing some time.
