The-c tuen, members of the Amtricsn Insti tute of Mining Kngineer*. to the num ber of 80 have made arrangements to come north on the next trip of the l*rinceas May. due at Skagwav 10. It has been suggested that they be met with carriages and taken to the different prospects In the vicinity of this place, and that the advantages of Skagwayasthe site for mills for the reductian of ores of the inferior be pointed out to them. The development of mining properties on Taku Arm, Windy Arm and in the vicinity of Whitehorse make Skagway a strategic point as a prospective center of great quartz act: vit ies even should the proper ties in the immediate vicinity of the town and those of Iiainy Hallow not to I<e developed until later.

Tho mvn>t came otit In this way: Tito mon wanted to go ashore for ? a dual eproe. Tho captain, who wn? a I weak man. In order to excuse himself for n?vt nonpitting them to go told of tho treasure. But the weakest thing ho did w.i* to let thorn go after tolling tliem tho reason why thoy should slay. Thf captain, thv first mate and I i-m-c- { ond mate) remained altoard. The cap , tain waa smoking on tho |>oop lltvk . tho first mate was pacing tin- forward I dock: 1 wits leaning over t!i< gunwale J ?midships looking down Into (111- ? ;t j tor.

Tho consequence ?a< that 1 I warn as far front the shl|? #s 1 likiil j I was some i-MO yards astern wl.n 1 i i heard the sound ot o.-.r* an. I, raising Jj my bead, saw a dark object coming i from tho city. I did not douht that It j was tho boat containing tho crow com ( lug from their spree I was surprised. ; bow<-vor, that thoy wore so quiet. Van j ally on such occasion* they were very ! j noisy. I started to swim to the ship. Imt they reached It before nto. I hoard ' the mate sing out "Boat ah >y !" but did not hear the answer. Tlie lioat'a crew clituM the ladder aud went aboard. I heard a scuffle, and a mo ] mont later a heavy object dropped In i the water. Tlio tide was going out. | but 1 kept ahead of It In the direction J of the ship. Presently something ] floated by me. By the light of tho moon, which by this time was well up ( above the horiron, I saw the upturned ashen face of the first mate. I soon , heard a second splash and know that the captain had met a similar fate. It was now all |terfeetly plain to me. The men who had gone ashore had been babbling in their cujis and had been overheard by some persou or i?er sons who had taken advantage of tbelr absence to capture tlio treasure they had talked aKtut. I know the robben had |tossossion of the ship, and what to do myself 1 coukl not determine. Possibly I might swim tho distance to tho shore, but I didn't like tlie idea of leaving these mou to make awaj with the treasure, there being no evl donee of their Identity. While 1 was deliberating 1 hoard the anchor chain rattling through the hawse pl|?c and knew the captors were intending to make sail, or. rather, drift out of the harltor, for there was no wind. I lis tened. hoping to hear the sound of oars Indicating the return of the crow, but heard no such sound. The ship drifted toward me stern on. ami. not knowing what el*- to do. 1 elungV> the rudder. But. re.ilixlng that there was nothing there to support mo for any length of time. I let go my hokl and. keeping close under the side of the ship, waited till the l>ow drifted to me. then grasped a chain under tho bow sprft. There I was better protected front being seen and might cling for a long while. When day aawrtco a npivw R|lnfllR up, ami the ship hove away westward. ?Jteepinp close to the coast. About sixty miles from Rio they ran her ashore, bow on. Knowing that I fchonhl l>e discovered where I was, 1 swam Kick to the rudder, keeping nn der water all except my eyes. with which I saw the robbers carry the treasure ashore There were five of them, one with red hair and lieard dl recting their movements I noted his face and that of every one of them ?o that I should know them apaln. As noon as they pit ashore each man ttarted off, staple ring under a bac of fold. 1 pave them time to pet n start, then swam to the ladder. clim!>od ?hoard and after potting provisions followed them. The^ were talking ?ost of the time, which enabled me to keep at a safe distance. They moved eastward and after going about ten miles Mopped at a deserted hut. went Inside anil when they came ont had left the treasure. I knew they bad hidden or burled It Inside. After a hurried lunch from a basket they bad brought with them they ?tnrted on to the eastward, walking rapidly. I felt sure they were going to Rio and wished to pet there as soon as possible In order that they should not be missed. Striking a road, they hired a conntrj man to drive them and were thns lost to me. However. I made my way to the city ?nd liunted up the . rew \\h.> Yi.l seen the ship sailing aws\ S.s>n a 't? i ft. > had left the dock to return to her 1 took them to where the treasure had bt?n placed ; then after securbic it ? ? went on to the ship, which at V iph tide we managed to get afloat, am' set ?.ail ft>r Rio.
