 Manager w. H. Vance of the Conrad Mining properties shipped between 5o and 60 tons of ore from the Big Thing mine on the steamer Princess May, which was wrecked on the way down Lynn canal. As the ere was not in. sured and was valued at about S5,000, MT.

 The Whitehorse Star says that as de- tails of the heavy rains of three weeks ago are obtained it is more and more apparent that the damage done was far iu excess of that first estimated. The destruction was mostly worked to the highways of the country, there being little else of value to destroy, this not being farming district It is doubt ful if S200, ,0oo would place the public highways of Yukon in as passable con dition as they were before the heavy rains. Several road gangs are now at work where repairs are most urgent but large expenditures of both money and labor will be required before the roads are even passable in many places.

And he said: 'My love was weary

He knelt beside her gravestone in

And he heard the dry grass rustic,

And through his heart the tremor
