It would be absoliute- ly foolish and they could do no good whatever, The Canadian leading the disturbance. they are not protesting as much as the Americans. “I suppose the report was sent to | the Sound by some hot-headed min- er who had heard some incendiary talk among his friends.

Everyone brings in his own grub, and so far as I can know | everyone has plenty of it. “The condition of the mining is about what {t was jast summer. No new phenomenal discoveries have been made, .though reports have come in of many good showings in many parts of the district. The mining claims which were consider- ed good last year are considered to be good now, as far as known. The snow has stopped a good deal of the mining, which will start again when | spring comes. “There is one trouble up there, With the new exctusion act there are not enough Canadians coming in to take up the claims and work them the way the Americans would do, They will drift in slowly. All the claims improperly filed last year are going to be lost. If the locators failed to record them or have staked too large an area the government will compel them to evacuate. Many Americans will lose their land in this way.” Does Almost Everything. The Rev. D. M. Edwards, pastor of the Methodist churcn, is the most industrious preacher we ever had [here.
