 i Hugh Barclay went to KaSaan this morning to institute some work on a group of ten claims which he and 1 Fred Hickman with two others own near that place. The property is situ- ate about mile and quarter from tidewater. and discoveries recently made upon it are unusually promising. lAl4S CAAlbi dNC lNo distinct and separate lodes-one of copper carrying considerable values in gold. and the other an apparently free milling quartz lode carrying free gold. An assay made at the Hadley shelter of ore taken from one of these lodes gave returns of little over 1850 per ton. Though it is very probable that the ore assayed was by no means an average of the lode. the result never theless is such as to encourage the be- lief that the find is one much above and beyond the ordinary as to values
 D. Bell-Irving, of Vancouver. B. C.. president of the Fidalgo Island Packing company, owners of the can nery here. is in town on tour of in. spection.

Practic ally all have paid thus placing the sum of SIP. 600 in the hands of the clerk of the court to be turned over to the town treasurer for school and municipal purposes.
 New Ship Coming. ng.-The Princess Royal, the new Canadian Pacific Rail- ways twenty-knot steamship, will take the place of the Princess Be- atrice. on the Alaska run on the re- turn of the latter to her home port. The Royal is expected to run al around any other steamer in the Alas ka passenger trafhc-provided she doesn't strike some immovabIe ob- stacle and go down with flying colors. She is said to have been constructed on lines having as much regard to safety as to speed. and is furnished in a style that makes her averitabIe float ing palace.
 Gilbert F. Rude and wife, of Wash ington, D. C., are registered at the Stedman.
 This is the season. says the Douglas News. when the passengers on each boat to Nome are supposed to present the captain a written expression of their undying affection and apprecia- ton of his gallant conduct in allowing them to ride on the boat and not mak- ing them swim for it.
 Total Loss.-The stern wheel steam. er Hazleton. which has been plying on the Stikine river, called in here last evening on her way to take the place of the Mount Royal on the Skeena.
 From her tf.cers he Miner gleaned ihe news that the Mount Royal, the wreck of which was briefly reported by cable yesterday. is total joss, but LbdL dpLdlu JOlILoOu " aS HUI bio"lCd as stated, though he had very nar- TOW escape. Their information came direct from the owners of the two vessels in conn ection with a cable gram ordering the Hazleton to the 5keena, which gave more particulars than the Miner was able to get. The wreck occurred at the upper canyon. which is long, narrow, crooked, and exceedingly dangerous to craft at- tempting it's navigation. Six of the crew were drowned, the boat having no passengers.
 The miners and working men who throrged the town for several days during last week having pretty gener- ally scattered to their respective fields of active endeavor, Ketchikan has re- sumed it's ante-4th of July quiet.to such an extent that the streets present practically deserted appearance. It is well. since they are again earning money instead of spending it, or in- curing an indebtedness to be wiped out later on.
