Mir. Shirley stated that Partridge and McLenan are doing considerable work on the Ben Ma .Chree mine. They are working 25 men and have more than one hundrel tons Of ore broken down already
 Partridge and McLennan are now negotiating for a shipping contract for the purpose of getting their ore over to Che railroad. This mine of theirs is a wonderful ledge and is de yeloped by nature to the extent that 1t is shown to a depth of 500 feet through the slipping off Of half of the mountain. which has exposed the ledge matter. The ore is very rich and of a concentrating nature. which makes it economical to work
 Mir. Shirley looked over the ore samples in the Alaskan office and OK. pressed the opinion that there must be several very good mines to be de- veloped in this section. The test mill also interested him very much and he said that the people Of Atlin would patronize it quite extensively as soon as it is in running order.

SEATTLE. Feb. | - At 9 o'clock last night, accompanied by Mrs. Bar nette. Captain Barnette left on the steamer Victoria for Cordova and Fairbanks, to straghten out the af- fairs of the WashingtonAlaska bank. According to his present plans, which have been submitted to heavy depos itors in the Washington-Alaska bank who are now here, and which have been approved entirely by them Captain Barnette proposes 10 i'm mediately pay the small depositors every dollar they had on deposit in the closed bank. The larger depos- itors will be amply secured and paid in full in the shortest possible time if it takes every dollar of the pri- yate fortune of Captain Barrette but the smaller depositors, the work ingmen and women of the camp. are to receive every cent of their deposits immediately. Captain Bar nCtte ascribes the failure of the bank entirely to the inability of himself and ViCe-PreSident Jackson 10 obtain the needed overdraft, after it had been promised to them. He is intensely angry at the insinua- tiOns and allegations that have been | made against him, and will declare himself when he reaches Fairbanks, He would have gone there long since had it not been that he was awaiting the recovery of Mrs. Bar nette from serious illness, as she insists upon accompanying him, to be with him when he faces his tra- ducers in Fairbanks. Just say that I am going back to Fairbanks to stay until every man has been paid; that l won't quit there until that has been accomplished. My friends know me we'll enough to know what
