C. S. Wayland, special inspector of the
postoffice department for Oregon. Wash
ington. Idaho and Alaska, was in the cltv
I. isl .Mturday being en route to Sitka on
the Cottage City. Mr. Wa; land has re
cently returned to the states from accom
panying a military expedition trom Cook
Inlet, up Copper river and across to the
headwaters of Tanana river, and thence
down that stream to the yukon. He re
ports that it is feasible to construct a
wagon road and stuge route ta the interior
by that route. Froir. the mouth of the
Tanana he went down the Yukon to Cape
Nome to inspect the postotiice at Anvil
City. He reports the trip up the Copper
river as verv laborious, but all went nicely
down tlie Tanana, for thev had taken
boats with the expedition. At Anvil City
lie found business rushing and the receipts
of the postoflice were than f 250 per quar
ter, which makss it a presidential ottice;
and he at once . uthori/ed the postmaster,
G. N. Wright, to employ an assistant at
#1400 per year. The Anvil postoftue will
be kept open all winter. Mr. Wayland
left there August 8. He says there are
trom 2000 to 3000 people in Anvil Cltv
a id lots of them in the mines; that monev
'.vas plentiful, and the boys were "r, lllng

I i>t Sunday Mr. C. carmichael returnr J
fr in the new totinol Mason which has
been l.ii J i II on the west side >;f the lie id
of Pyramid harbor at the junction there- '
with of the Chllcat river. This point Is
on osi'e II tints, ;ibont five miles distant
therefrom. It was here that Mr. Car
micluel la<st s ring discovered a ledge of
mineralized quail* which is quite exten
sive, .111 J is thought to be of a nature sim
ilar to the ore of the famous Treadwell I
inine. I his ledge is 3100 feet wide and :
h is been tr ..ed for more than 6coo fret in i
a northwesterly direction At discovery j
the ledge is ico fert from tide water and
extends 2100 fret inland up a rock moun- '
tain side to the hanging wall, and from
there the ledgr bear* sliagtlv away from
the riu-r and is traced for more than a mile
to the northward. Already there different
groups of right claims eavh have been lo
cated and recorded, and a 40-acre townsite
has been located- The claimants also
have a valuable watir fall which is estl
inatrd to develop 10,000 horse power.
The assays of this rock have not been
high, but range from 5'* ? 50 to $4.60 to the :
ton. The rock is free milling and it Is '
thought It will prove to be very valuable. 1
Five men have begun to run development !
tunnels, and the work will be continued [
until a thorough test has been made. 1
There are hundreds of millions of tons of
this r..ck in sight above the sea level, and
if it proves of any value, the worth of the
Jaims is up in the millions of dollars.

evening. While Jackson was in his prime
Jas. J. Corbett, with whom he fought a

dared to go ag.iir.st him. Slavin for sev

Mr. J. L). (Jr.ih. in, gold commissioner
of the Allin district, returned yesterday
from the new British Columbl.i copper and

trict, sometimes c.iilr J the Copper Blow
out counlrv. He spent several d.ivs there,
and established a mining recorder's office,
which will be temporarily tilled bv Mr.
VV. H. Viclers, who is thoroughly ex
perienced In such affairs About si.xtv
claims are sVkeJ and the recording will
proceed without delay. Mr. Grah nn savs
the indications polrt to an extensive held,
but he cannot spe.ik with positiveness as
to the merits of the district. He uncov
ered one vein which is ten feet wideth.it
promises to yield well. Samples of cop
per, gold and silver quartz were brought
out by Mr. Graham and will be assayed.
The trip to and from the district was
made on hotseb.uk. Mr. Graham says
the tojd or full is .1 rough one and, ac
cording to his estimate, si.xtv miles long,
but of gradual ascent Iroin tidewater, and
of such a nature that a tramway could
easilv be built from Haines to the camp.
Mr. Graham is the guest of the Brjnnick

headquarters in the Atlin district, where a
great deal of business has piled up during
his absence. Me looks as If the long horse
back ride had not hurt him.
Mr. Gralum did not pay much attention
to the Porcupine mines, through which he
passed; but from the gold he saw and the
quiet industry of the miners, he has an
: op.nion that the mines are paving hand

Mr. W. J. Partridge, (he famous world
trotter, the chum of millionaires and the
companion of lords and dukes, was not
able to hold a little short-hand type writer
clerk to her agreement to assist him In all
Ills arduous duties of going to the Atlin
country and turning over to some Enrlish
capitalists the mines which have been
sold for $;oo,ooo. As Mr. Partridge was
tarrying in Seattle, it occurred to him that
he ought to have a secretary, so he adver
tised and got a feminine one, Miss Stewart
by name. Thev came to Victoria last Sun
day week and there waited the City of
Seattle in which they had engaged pass
age. After boarding that vessel it was no
ticid that a rich Uawsonite, a close friend
of the great McDonnld, was quite chummy
with his private secretary; but his aston
ishment was greatly aroused when that
young lady came to him with tears in her
eves and asked to be released from her
contract, saving that she had been offered
matriage by the rich Klondiker and they
intendeJ to leave the vessel at Juneau and
seek a priest. A hundred thousand dollars
more at less don't cut much figure with
Mr. Pattridge, but this request rather un
did him. However, he recovered himself
in time to giant her request before she
quit crying. Before the happy couple left
the vessel at Juneau thev became quite af
fectionate to each other, and it was re
ported that thetutute husband had already
g'ven his sweetheart a full #1000 as evi
dence of the wealth he would shower upon
her after their marriage. Mr. Pattridge
says the couple left the steamer at Juneau,
and he was told that thev had no difficulty
in letting a license and a ministet, and
were soon made man and wife. Mr. Part
ridge seemed to be a little affected over the
iftair and the name of the purloiner of his
typewriter had escaped his memory.
