The prospecting of various 1 claims will continue this season.
 AJr. Schellinger has q deep rich bronze tint and is as hard as an athlete. due to his outdoor cxper- fences. The bronzed effect was per rected in the long mush over the snow of the trail. He reports the Twcmty-mile in good condition when 1 passing there Isaac Lusk and F. E. Short were met there.

 lIr. Schclltuger was on Keno Hill the day that Jack Stewart the fore man, made the spectacular plunge off the high brow of the north slope of the hill and sustained the fracture of three ribs, and witnessed the re- ma~kablc feat. MT Stewart has en- tircIy recovered. and is as rugged as ever.
 That plunge" " says Mir. Schellin- [ ger. surely was an amazing and hair-raisiug experience. The wind was blowing a gale. and MT Stewart and Paddy McIver were riding up on the aerial tram. when suddenly tie conveyance was ripped. and they were spilled on the beetling slope 1000 feet high. Paddy sliddcd . 150 feet down the first incline. try , ing in vain to dig in with his finger nails. Luckily he struck a little rough rock reef. and lodged there with toc-hold. Jack whizzed on ! like an irressistable terrestrial body. The boys wanted to know from i Paddy what Jack said as he scootcd past. but Paddy could not translate it. Fortunately Jack had a faculty of keeping right side up with care. l He made the initial scoOt sitting ! upright. and then took the hop of with feet straight out He evidently did the nose dive. the tail spin and lOoped the loop several times immc- diately after the take off, but he righted himself again. and struck a second inclined slope 75 feet farther | down. This slope shot him into a reef of soft snow. with 500 feet of space beneath. Luckily, the snow held him, and the boys went down and got him out. none the worse except 10 rJhrcG broken ribs. Had Jack not been as muscular as a wildcat he would have been killed as il was. No ordinary mortal ever would have survived that leap. It was a mighty close call to the last post for Jack. but h's up and about today. He shows no signs of the wild leap for life. but is careful on the hillside now not to let his foot slip"
