Casy and Mackenzie are nut only men of wealth, but have a practical experience in Lead villc, Cripple Creek and Aspen. The latter goes at a big salary having resigned the superintcndciicy of the Portland mine where bo drew $10,000 a year. At .Seattle contracts will be awarded for building a river steamer, or probably two, to be no arranged in sections that it can Ik? shipped to St. Michaels. Three steam luunchcs will also be built for tenders and the boat when ready will lie loaded with .riO0 tons of provisions, calculated to last for two years. Twenty-five of the best prospectors of the West have bet n engaged to make locutions ami three more will 1 hired ou the eoa-t with a sjccial view to knowledge of placers. Tho river steamer will be equipped with jow( rftil steajn pumps placed on the boat so the captain u.;; prosjirct along the banks wherever litis is deemed ncessc iy to si. nj ! the dirt along the banks. No time will be lo-t and i. result are good the men will file loca tions "We are going up to that country (o get our share of the good tilings if they are there, and we hardly see how we can miss it," said Mr. Mackenzie. "We will take with us ft sawmill Colnplete. a hydraulic mining plant to be operated by means of a hose from the deck of the steamer with pumps, and everything else we can need. About the middle of February Mr. Casey and half of our foivu w ill be started over Cbilkoot pass and the rest of the ex pedition w ill go uround by St. Michaels and up the Yukon river. We will chnrtor a steamer at Scuttle, load everything on it, the charter bringing us to St. Michaels. There w e will put our river steamer together, load our supplies, the steam launches taking their share, and when we are ready we will steam up the river and w ill join the first part of our expedition at someoint agreed upon. Accoiding to our pluns at present when we reach the country our prospectors will divide into pairs and will work out over the country. They will keep in touch w ith the main party and will be SHp'plied with provisions. Should any prospecting party make a discovery that proves good, the whole party will be concentrated at that point and we will thus be able to take up all the best part of the country. Having our sawmill we can quick lv build our own town and make all our preparations to mine in the proper way. We are not going for placer mining alone, but will look for quartz lends us well. We will depend upon tho country for nothing but timber, water and gold. We w ill furnish tho rest. Mr. Casey is ono of the best known mining men in the West, lie was one of the earliest prospectors in Cripple Creek ami discovered the American Eagle and John A. Iigan mines on Mull hill out of which he made himself independent. Mr. Mackenzie is a native of Canada and has many friends in Ottawa ami plans have already been made if anything worth while is discovered to secure concessions from the Dominion government for timber and other claims." 'Our orders," continued Mackenzie, "are to spare no expense to make tho expedition a complete success. We will take with us everything we can possibly need. We expect simply to pros pect, it will cost us about $10,000 for a ship to transport us to St. Michaels and from there we will depond upon our own exer tions. You know that it has been impossible to get a sawmill through to the mines because the transportation companies have a monopoly on the lumber. We will not be bothered with any such monopoly. We w ill carry everything necessary to build a city with and we. will have tho men along who can do the work. Wo are feeling very enthusiastic over the scheme and our plans are so well made that failure is almost impossible. If the gold is there wo are sure to g6t more than our share of it.

A NEW CHANNEL. San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 14.

A dispatch from Paris to the Herald ays: The Herald ts Informed from a trust worthy source that the answer which the Indian government has forwarded to tho Prltish cabinet, declining to reopen tts mints uikWt an agreement with France and the United States. Is causing considerable difficulty In English gov ernmentaj circles. A imujorlty of the cabinet is disiiuillned to override the opinion of tts Indian advisers on a ques tion which principally affects India, bu several members of the cabinet feel that the government Is too far committed to withdraw. At the present moment it Is Impossible to foretell the outcome of the differences of opinion, but tho resigna tion of all the Influential members of tho c.iblm-t la not Improbable. Mean while It la Interesting to know that the refusal of India Is based on her obli gation to the ratio of liVi to 1. Indian statesmen foresee 'the greatest difficul ties arising out of a sudden drop In the price of silver to 60, which it Is feared would revolutionize the commercial r lntlons and lead to the ruin of many merchants engaged In trade with Asia, On a basis more nearly corresponding with the price of sliver, for Instance on the basis of 15Vi per rupee, that Is to say, iHd.per ounce for silver as the standard, India would Immediately ocn her mints. Perhaps the , English cabinet will try to negotiate on such lines before Anally rejecting Senator Wolcott's pro' posals.
