Another committee was appointed to secure the necessary data showing the great amount of legal and court work in the Eirst division and other infor mation which might assist in secur ing the passage of the bill.

GRIGSBV’S MEETING JUNEAU, Oct. 8—Governor Strong presided Inst night at the meoeting addressed hy George Grigsby and the house was crowded noth withstanding the fact that several other attractions j were offering in the city. Three quarters of the speech were devoted to Wickersham but the speaker also exposed Cobb’s treason to Democracy, lie explained Schofield's criticism o» himself and showed Schofield's resi donee* to he Seattle. Ho characterized the supporters of Wickorsham as of three classes: Hero worshippers who i refuse to see facts, those who regard him as a lighter and those who vote , for him to got even with someone else. ' Mr. (irigsby produced records to show lie was not a lighter, that he is inef ficient and that he imposes on the credulity of the people by mis-stating facts, 'flu* speaker showed that Mr. Wickorsham never led in progressive matters hut grabbed the tail end or some progressive movement and usually pulled back instead of pushing! ahead. The speech was very well re ceived. The report sent out from lioiv that the betting is two to one that Wickorsham will carry the First di vision is not true. (Irigsby’s meeting last night was called to order by Mayor Stewart who introduced the governor. The governor spoke in oulogv of (Irigshv and urged the peo ple to vote for him. MATING IN Jl’NF.AU IS IN FAVOK OF St I.ZKlf JUXKAU, Oct.

Although consider able prospecting was done only about 40 mines were commercially product ive, but they made a gold output to the value of $80,000. Gold bearing gravels occur in the beds of the pres ent streams' in buried channels, and in bench gravels, but most of the gold has been won from the deep channels on Livengood creek, which has proved to be far richer than either the stream or the bench placers. Some shallow placers have also yielded gold, notably on Olive creek, but only prospects have been found in the benches.—U. S.
