It seta about there in buckets like potatoes on aKaneas farin. He estimates that there was $10,000,000 waiting for a steamer last July and that $30,000,000 will come outof there this year. There was $4,000,000 sent out last year. It was expected that other yessels would be up the Yukon, -but they did not come. As a result this year, he tninks, there will be $20,000,000 added the patient if possible. J. B. MeArthur’s Mission.

Mining association, which held their annuel session in Mons treal last week, has decided to reorganize. ian: Mining and the greatest interest and eathusissm. shown since its organization. There were several interesting com- munications presented and read con: cerning the Rainy river, Lake of the Woods, British Columbis,. Kootenay, and Klondike niining districts, In order to unite all sections and’ 2 gest assoc ation of its kid it was decided to appoint four represén= tatives trom each and every province. The following council was selected for the year: For British Columbia—John B. Hobe son, Frank C. Loring, William Black- more and R. G. McConnell. For Nove Scotia—Henry 8. Poole, R. G. Leckie, Clarence Dimack and W. M. Libby. For Ontario—Archibald Blue. James MeArthur, Fred Snyder aud Hamilton Merritt. For Quebec—G. E. Drammond, George R. Smith. John Penhale and J. Obalsik. The annual officers elected were as Walker isa fine looking specimen of| follows: President, John H. Hardman physical manhood but the chances are ot Montreal; vice presidents, W. A. Carlyle of British Columbia, Charles Fergie of Nova Scotia, John Blue of On- tario, Dr. George M. Dawson of Quebec; A, W. oO! ; secretary, B. T. A. Bell of Ottawa. It will be seen that British Columbia ig well and ably represented both in the council and annual officers. W. A.

Confirmatory of the views expiessed by the World some days since, in re- gard to the representation question, that a division would be made of south- ern Yale and southwestern sepresent- ation, satisfactory assurances sre said to have been given by the government.
