From Far Off Atlin.-
DEAR EXPOSITOR,—As I agreed before leav-
ing Seaforth for this frozen country to let
you know how we found things here, I
will try in as brief a space as , possible to
give you a few particulars. I
I will not tell you about our dip over the
ice and over Chileoot NM and whet we had
to encounter, because you have herd those
old stems so often, I expect you are tired!
of Wethen,lft Seaforth on April 18th and arrived I
, , I
in Atilti on June 6th. On our way doming ini
as we got near to Atlin, we met many people
in di rent parties leaving the country and;
leaving most of the atuff they had brought:
with tibem and getting out any way they!
could, some in boats and some on hilts; all!
of them disgusted with the country. 1 Wel
wondered why, but we had stinted for Adin '
and we ere going to see for ourselves.
nice little city, plee.santly , located on Lake
When we rrived in Adin we found quite a
Atlin, a lake about 5 to, 7 milewide and
about 8* miles long. Of course, like other
mining camps, the store* and dwelling, are
mostly canvas, but there are it few quite
eubstantial buildings. By the way, there
are 3 saw mills, 2 very good mills and one
smaller one. As we looked around town
we saw great numbers of idle men standing
in groupes very much engaged ih their ,con-
versation and about the only topics seemed
to be the mines and mining laws and the
disgraceful way in which the government
was acting about it. Of course we knew
nothing about it and; it seemed, strange to
us; it seemed to me like getting into a luna-
tic asylum. But we have found out more
about it since that time. We have been
up quite a number of the gold bearing °reeks
and we find things in very bad shape. There
are a few miners at work, but comparatively
few, as there are so many claims tied up and
no person is allowed to work them. They
have been staked from 3 to 6 thnes and re-
corded and no person can touch , them until
the minister of mines decides ;who is the
rightful owner. There is no chance for a
poor men to get a claim and no Workscarcely
at present. There are hundred% yes thou-
sands, anxious to work but cannot get it.
The Presbyterian church people held &leen-
cert a few evenings • since in their church,
the proceeds to go to the relief df distressed
miners.
I think by what We have -seen and heard
that the richness of I this distriet has been
very much over estimated. There are no
doubt a few very fair claims, but th.reare
lots of them that will not pay the ru Ding
expenses. There are old minere here .from
Australia, New Zealand, the Tr novas!, and
all the principal gold fields of the world and
they allsay it is the worst place th y were ever
in, and they say that a great many of the
nuggets repozted to have been found hero
have been brought from other diggings, and
exhibited here in hotels or saloons. -
We intend to stay here for a little While
until we see if things will change ter the
better, but I am afraid there will net be
,
much done t ill se on. I interviewed Mr.
JI, D. Grabanal(Oold Commissioner) a few
days ago and II asked him if he would tell
a anything about Maims that were recorded
or were not, and he told me that he knows no

I don't know who • Ito blame for it, but men
have paid their recording fees and got re-
ipts for the same,, and the same claims
have been rem ded again and again. There

advertisements asking for the whereabouts
of Mary Fair, formerly of one of the

e-Thia week it becomes our sad duty to
chronicle the death of Mr. John Currie, of
Hilebert, which sad event took phew on
Thursday morning, 6th inst., at his resi-
dence about two miles east of Crom-
arty. He had been declining in health
for several years, and about two years ,
ago paralysis weakened and affected hint
so that he lost nearly all his mental and
physical powers and during the past eight
menthe he had been confined to his bed and
wan completely helpless, and appeared to
have very little knowledge of what was go-
ing on. Mr. Currie was born in North
Sherebrooke, in the county of Lanark, in
181, and would have been 68 years old had
helivedone day more. He moved from
th re in 1867, to lot 4, concession It, in the
township of Hibbert, where he had reaided
ever since.
