 Jack Caughlan, the man reported as having been picked up in an insensi- ble condition from the rocks between the Young and Gowen buildings, upon which he had fallen the night before, regained consciousness about six o'clock last evening, and now appears to be none the worse either because of the fall or his long exposure to the rain. He can tell nothing however of the circumstances connected with the accident, but it is believed that he lay where found at least eleven hours, during all of which time the rain fell in steady down pour He had been in high spirits the day before, having received word, accord ing to his own story, that he had become heir to twenty thousand dol lars, or more, by the death of his | father, and was called to New Vest minister to look after his inheritance. ! Having no money, he borrowed twenty | dollars from an acquaintance. who was kind enough to loan him that amount, ST. 50 of which was found on his person, which made it evident that he had expended the balance for drinks after starting for the room in which he declared his intention of going to bed. These drinks were un- doubtedly responsible for the condi- tion in which he was found. He may thank his lucky stars, rather than the possession of the merest modicum of good sense. that he is alive today.

 Mrs. H. K. Shepard, Miss Frances and Master George Shepard, of Jun- eau, arrived down on the City cf Seattle Saturday night. and accompa- nied Mir. B. B. Yielding and his sister to Niblack on the Alert this morning. P. J. German, manager of the can nery at Kasaan. is in town and re- ports his pack of 30,00O cases two thirds filled, with the expectation of being able to fully complete it. There is no lack of fish, and nothing but un- forseen accident can serve to prevent a full pack.
 Mir. W. K. Hancock, superintend- ent of the government salmon hatch cry at Yes bay, has been in town the past three or four days. He reports the run of red fish as being rather scant and expresses a fear that he may not be able to secure q full sup ply of eggs for the winters opera tions.
