Editor Uoawm-This place is quiet at the present time, no publlo work bidng done except railroad liulldlng. ThON are probably two ihousuud men now employed preparing the road bod, who receive thirty II vo cents per hour. Tht company expects to have the trains runuiiig this far by July 1st. Trains are expected in much the sum mit of White Pass by March IS. Krom there to this scenic spot Is eighteen miles. Kighl miles (Ills way from the pass Is located the "dead Hue," where all customs Into British oiumhia are collected. The duties on most all ordinary goods will average lii per cent ad Vuloreiii. Homo men havo paid $1) M) on ordinary articles that cost ill Heatlle $L1), This Is oiilv one of Qfty such iii-iauces thun can lie cited. Krum the Dog Cabin at the "dead line" the trftll to Dake Atllii Is readied but there Is scarcely any one going lu there now, as none but British sub jects can record or ucquiru placer ground, or eveu employ to a claim owner. Wo learu of a very recent strike being made on .McDonald creek down Laka Bennett twanty-ooa miles from here u few miles over in tha N W T. What wo hear I believe it to bo of little value. Therearo three lain s' earners lying lu the Ice hero and a couple of more under construction for the summer trade, There Is about I 10 population here at present, all seem well content with the futuroof the city.
