The first authentic information from Silver creek came in nrst-hand last evening when Mir. Willis Eos t,r arrived In the city direct from the new gold fields. Mir. Foster Is a mining man of experience, having been iu mozl of the placer camps of Che western states, and was a- mong he large number of stamped eIs who thGt went into the Klondlke
 While n sealrlo a short time ago he heard Of the Teslm strike and immediately came north to myestI- gate it. On the first Of March he arrived in skagway and left for Tes- lin via Carcross and Atlin, arriving at Silver creek week later.r He found Silver creek an staked, to- gethor with iB tributaries, locations having been made on the adjacent err lks.

In all these creeks water is encountered at depth Of from five to ten feet, aud he says it will be necessary to construct bedrock drains, or In some cases pumping in order to work the pay. Mr. Foster says that no one has reached bedrock yet Co know how deep it averages, but from all Che information that can be gained from the general formation and the appearances of the ground, he be- lIeyes that it will be found at a depth of from fifteen to thirty feet.

Who wait with starry banner,
Now floating in the air
She has crossed the shining river,

Where heavenly music echoes,
Dear children, weep no more
She sleeps beneath her native earth.
And near the spot that gave her birth,
Her youthful feet trod flowers that bloom
In beauty Ger her earthly tomb.
