 Halibut have been coming in freely since Saturday, especially in sma' boats. Hunt-Lathrop company made a considerable shipment by the Faral- lon last night, and are taking in more today.
 Business conditions are readjusting themselves at least in some quarters. Knight X Morrows business is pick ing up and if conditions keep on inn proving at the present rate they ought to be too busy to stop for meals next week.
 The report which was spread through town yesterday that large bill of supplies had been ordered al one of our mercantile establishments preliminary to a renewal of mining l operations at the Mt. Andrew was l wholly premature and unfounded. 1 rnere is every reason to believe that
 resumption of operations at the Mt. lndrew will not he long delayed, but
 he time for that hoped for event i> not yet.
 The steamship Farallon, tied up al Ter wharf here last night on her re- l turn trip from Valdez with q goodly sized passenger list. It was given out ny some of those on hoard that both he Faraliou and Portland were carry ing passengers back to Seattle, who lad been scared off from attempting he further journey to Fairbanks b, he threatening attitude of the strik ing miners who were reported to be 'ick eting the trail.
 The Methodist chruch was filled tt he doors last evening, drawn largely ny the special feature of the service he singing of the Young Mems Glee .lub. The several numbers by the ;lub were we'll rendered, and showed hat much time had been put in on practice. Continued practice will 'emedy the small defects m blending. md the young men certainly have very reason for qualification, ana hey may rest assured that all who ieard them have only words of praise 70 offer. The wish is expressed ny many that another program might bt given iu the near future. Professor Ranney and the pastor gave short. pointed talks addressed to the young people, and these. with two sol.s b, Messrs. Mitchell and Taylor made ul he programme. The clnb is comnos- ed of the following men: Messrs. Warehouse and Ranney, tenor :: Messrs.' Mitchell aud Campbell, sec ond tenor; Messrs. Bold and Thomp- -on, first bass: Messrs. Taylor and Ball second bass. Mir. Mitchell is the director. The members of the club are all busy young men, and are so much the more worthy of commenda- lion for their effort in adding to the pleasure and profit of others. With many who heard them last night we say. 'Come again boys"
