Evans, the last arrival from the Tanaca. Is quoted by the Post-lntelli geneer as saying: "The Tan ana is a rieh district It is estimated that the output next season will be $1,000,000, much of which is al ready lying in the dumps. There are some large dumps? that of George No ble and partners containing over 6000 buckets of gravel up to the time I left. "The richer creeks are Fairbanks, which has a pay streak 60 feet wide and six miles long, with a depth of five or six feet; Goldsiream, Pedro, Cleary, Chatham and Wolff. "Fairbanks is the richest. Many of the best claims on this aifti other creeks are owned by Capt. E. T. Barnette, who has oome to be regarded as the mining king of the Tanana. "Prospectors are sinking holes on no less than 100 other creeks this winter, and some of them uo doubt will find rich ground." SELLS COAL J. W. Ivey Keepins: Kayak I'cople Winm W. H.

They were looked upon, according to the Irish custom of send lug malefactors to a sea doom in this plight, as outlaws. However, they had been allowed to land, and a spring of water bursting forth in the sand at the place was taken as a sign of their right to a refuge. Out they ill repaid thi Welsh. The men lived by smuggling, the women hy witchcraft. It was uol possible lo overcome the smugglers lu a fray, for each carried almut with him a black fly tied In a knot of bis ker chief, and the moment the knot was undone Hi? fly (lew at the eyes of thf opponents and blinded them. If the Llanddona witches attended a market and bid for anything no one ventured to bid against them. Provision! From Trrri. There Is a tree which grows in Sn inatra.
