Beattle, March 17 A special to the
Post-lntelllgencer from Skajgway says:
The travel to Atlln now goes by way
of Caribou and the lakes, i The lake
route will undoubtedly be exclusively
used In' the future between the fweze-
up and the break-up. J. It Brooks,
the packer jtt pioneer fame, has been
the prime factor In deflecting the
travel from the Fantall. After the
freee-ip last fall he put on stages and
freight teams on the trail, and, regard
less of the weather, he mantured to
moke regular trip between Caribou and
Atlln over the lakes. Though better
time can be made over the Fantall and
the fare Is about $5 less, travelers to
Atlln seem to prefer the longer and
more comfortable horse trail to the trip
behind dogs over the cutofT.
There are only two roodhouses on
the Caribou trail until Taku Arm Is
passed. One Is located at Ten-Mile
point, ten miles from Caribou, and the
other at quaw point. 80 miles farther
on. On East arm there Is a roadhouae
near Bell's point kept by the Butler
brothers, and Ash ton's roadhouse Is
still maintained at Taku portage.
The provincial parliament has passed
a bill or the making of a wagon road
from Caribou to Atlln. , The road will
follow the Dominion telegraph line
around the north of Tagish lake to old
Taghm nwft, at; thj banJwnd polw
station where'- tewes river wil! b
bridged, r then ..following yie shore
btoundyl?sIjt art ty Taku, where It will
connect with the portage railway. The
residents of Atlln have hopes that the
work will be. Initiated next summer, '
5 Sto. Olson srfys there fc ho work be
ing done on the ; mining properties In
the vicinity of Taku arm excepting on
the White Moose, 'opposite' the Etv
glneer group. This property now be
longs to residents of Atlln, who have
kept two or three men contini'usly
drifting for the past two years. They
have lately struck a very nice quarts
lode running In a different trend from
the one for which they wre cross-
cutting. , ,
The owners of the Redmond mine,
who were piling up an ore dump for
shipment all last summer, will resume
work as soo nas navigation opens. This
property was located by John Redmond
In 1899, and was bonded to M. 3. Heney,
E. C. lUwklns and other officers of the
White Pass Railway Company during
eoWnictfon jdayaThe; lode" appeared
to be blanket; three teet thlckv dip
ping out of the hill transversely from
rh formation 'of the "country. A well
eoaulpped pronpectlng camp was locat
ed and a drift 45 feet long was driven
on the body, when' to all appearances
the ore pinched and the Claim was
abandoned, after the bonder had re
ceived 5000, and as much more had
been expended In the exploitation. A
year later four men with plenty of
muscle, but without capital, recoraeo
the claim. They caught the lode where
It had been passed by the tunnel and
followed It further. The blankeHike
outcropping they found turned down in
a manner that leads to the belief that
the ImDact is a true Assure. .
Aj their drifting was done on the
ore, they were enabled to produce by
bringing In a single pony hand stamp
prospecting mill. In the washing It
was observed tthat & black scum float
ed off on the mater. Some of It was
caught and sent out for assay. It was
rich In gojd that could not be saved
bv crude reduction.
The Redmond claim Is located on the
Bighorn, 10 miles up the stream from
it. month Hale Cttv. Seven and A
half tons of rock was packed down
to the arm and shipped to the Tacoma
smelter. On the showing of tnis smeu-
r test a wagon, road was bunt from
the'landlng to the claim. ConalderaWe
local Interest centers In the Redmond
claim on account of the plucky man
ner In which Its owners have by the
crudes methods met conditions with
which only capitalists generally pre
sume to cope. , .
The Engineer Mining Company
equipped Its property with machinery
last summer and sank a working shaft
75 feet to within 35 feet of where H

New Tork. March 17. Letters have
been received by the missionary society
from Bishoo David H, Moore, of the
Methodist Episcopal church, who has
had charge of the work in eastern
Asia. The bishop was a passenger
from Shanghai to Chemulpo on the
steamer Sungart. The latter was sunk
by Russian warships the 4night after
she departed from Chemulpo,
Bishop Moore says he witnessed the
fight Which ended in the destruction
of the Varlag and KoHetz, and, with
General Allen, was only a few hundred
yards distant when the Korietx was
blown uo.
The bishop was expected to start
home or the general conference, but
as an old soldier says he does not like
to leave the scene, at least not, until
all the missionaries are out of the dan
ger sozne. It is likely a1 suggestion
that he remain in the far east will be
telegraphed at once.

Age tomorrow will say;
The outlook for railway building In
the United States Is not as promising
as It was a year ago. There haa not
been complete recovery from the check
In new work which followed the dis
turbance in the financial world last
summer and, while a large amount of
building has been planned, much of It
Is being held up until financial condi
tion are more favorable. There are
6308 miles of WW line -under contract
or under xonstructlon, . or . 1790 miles
more in which it is expected to begin
work during the year. ' '
A year ago there were 8500 miles re
ported under contract a little over 68
per cent of which, or 5736 miles, were
completed during te year.
