TOM OKA WASN'T LONG
 IN MAKING HIS CHOICE

Tom Oka, the Japanese cook who recently attempted suicide in Whitehorse and was released from custody few days ago by Judge Geo. L. Taylor, under suspended sen- teRce for the attempt upon his life, the penalty for which is two years imprisonment, left last night on the Princess May for Vancouver. Oka wished to leave here for the south, on his way to Japan, on the Humboldt, but Immigration Inspect Or Joy would not consent, and told Oka he would either have to go on the British boat to some Canadian port or be deported back to White horse. As the jail sentence star ed Oka in the face if he returned to the interior, he preferred to take chance on British Columbsa.

The Atlin district has been pro nounced by widely experienced min :Ig men to be unique in that it has more different kinds of mineral within a radius of 30 miles than any part of the north yet explored.
 Much attention is being drawn to the quality of vegetables and flow CTS that can be grown in the north, and in this respect, too, Atlin is coming into the limelight, as some Of the visitors to the district have been greatly surprised at finding so many different varieties of flora and fauna not expected to be indigenous to this northern zone. There is great deal of arable land close to the town and Samuel Johnston is now experimenting on larger scale than has before been attempted hay ing several acres undr cultivation in the Pine creek valley which he con fidentIy expects will prove a paying proposition and cursory glance at what he has already done seems to indicate that his confidence is not

.lTUIN BUSINESS MEN EXTEND
 THIRTY THOUSAND IN REBUILDING
The Output of the Placer Claims in the District From 50 to 75 Per Cent Greater This Year Than L st More Money for Mineral Development Needed-At- tention Being Directed Toward Horticultural Possi- blitiss.

AtIia, B. C., Nov. Is, 1914- 1914 will be q memorable year 1n the history of At:in--tho year of the fire.
 Toward the latter part of May when everybody was looking for ward eagerly to the opering of navi- gatiou and the first boat;' the mer- chants preparing to receive ship ments of stock to meet tie increas- ed summer demand. the hotels and restaurants ready for their busy sea son and what with rumorS Of a new railroad from the south, and the consequent development of quartz and other minerals hitherto untouched because of the high cost Of transportation; everybody look ing forward to a banner year and the commencement of a new era of prosperity for the camp, imagine their dismay, therefore, on a bright and balmy morning to hear the echoes disturbed by the glamour of the fire alarm. But so it was, for, on the morning of May 23rd. a fire which originated in F. L. PiIlman's store, on the corner Of First and Pearl streets, swept over and consumed nearly the en- tire business portion of the town. The fire started about 7:S0 in the morning and by 9 o'clock nothing remained of oyer thirty buildings but a few charred embers, the fin anciaI loss being upwards of S1OO,- 900.
 The flames gained ~heaGway so rapidly that in less than fifteen minutes after the alarm vas given it was impossible to get close enough to throw waaer on the build !ngs with the appliances &t hand; consequently the victims simply had to watch their homes and places of business go up in smoke, aHhough it is remarkable how much was say ed, considering the short space of time for the work of rescue
 The people of both Athn and Discovery deserve the highest praise for the splendid manner il, which they helped each other 10 save what they could and the way in which they fought the fire. The Discovery people especially deserve tribute for the fine spirit shown in coming six miles to help their un- fortunate neighbors and for the valuable assistance which they con- tributed on that disastrous morning.
 The effects of the ire have been very widely felt throughout the dis trict and will continue to be felt for some time to come, as many of the people who lost nearly every thing they possessed, were preparing to develop their properties on the different creeks, which development Of course cannot take place until their losses are at least, to some extent, recouped.
 Notwithstanding the severe loss es sustained the business men have nearly all rebuilt, MT. Eggert, with characteristic energy, setting the example by starting the fine
The daily Alaskan., 1914-11-19

building which now aderns the site of his former store and residence and which is a creditable monumoLt to his good taste and confidence ill the future of the town and district. MT. John Roxborough was the next to start building and on 1he spot where the old Kootenay hotel stood, he now has a fine, new, first class hotel, modern in every par ticular. Others soon fell into line with the result that the town looks better and more prosperous today than it has for many years, as about $3O,OO0 has been expended in build ings and improvements since the fire.
 Among the new buildings erected are:
 E, L. Pullman, general store cost tug about $S,OOO.
 J. Eggert, jewelry store costing about $3,5OO.
 T. A. James, drIg and drygoods costing about $3,OOO.
 J w. Mcintosh, groceries, etc, costing about $2,5OO.
 M. J. McDonald, general store costing about $4,O0O.
 J. Peterborough, KoOtenay hotel costing about $4,OOO.
 L. Schulz, addition Of store and hall to the Royal hotel $1,5O0.
 Post and telegraph offices i'm provements to cid Canadian Bank of Commerce bldg. $1,5OO.
 Although the great war which is now raging in Europe, and which So yitally affects all parts Of the world at all depending upon British and foreign capital, caused several local mining companies to at once cease operations, the majority of the creeks have yielded more gold this summer than any recent year.
 Mckee creek gave 50 per cent more gold during 1914 than in 1912 and more than twice as much as ill 1912.
 Ruby creek gave nearly 5C per cen' more gold than in 1913, and over three times as much as ill 1912.
 Wright creek gave nearly three times as much as last year or the year before.
 Otter creek gave nearly 75 per cent more than last year, and near ly twice as much as in 1912.
 Boulder creek gave four times as much as last year.
 Pine and Spruce creeks were not So productive this year as last as a great many of the miners from these creeks are now on the O'Don nell river where, although compara- lively little work has been done, the outlook is very encouraging, The O'Donnell Placers Ltd, spent most of the summer installing an hydraulic elevator plant and did not commence operating until late in the season, but they are ready to start early next year. The work done on O'Donnell so far is nearly all preliminary only, and everyone expects good results in 1915.
