San Francisco, Feb. 4.—General 0. W. Turner of this city has received several letters from the Yukon which tend to contradict the report of Captain Ray to the Washington authorities, as to the fallure to discover new placers along the river. Tho letters were written in December last by Colonel’ Samuel Word, who was in camp on the Yukon‘ five miles sotth of Five Finger rapids. He is a wealthy piowesr of Montana, and took with him to Alaska six men to asaiast him in pros- pecting. He reported on the river in September last and his camp was ina situation where he had opportunities of talking wiih out going miners. Under date of December 7th he writes of “rich strikes on Hunter, Indian creek and Henderton, the latterone mile below tke mouth of the Stewart.’ He is con- -| fident of the future of the country from a mining point of view.

Connect- ion with the Central Washington would give it the greater part of the grain haul out of the big bend, the ore haul from the Okanogan country, a large part of the merchandise haul into this city and the flour and meat haul to the coast. That. acquired, there would be little doubt that it would extend 2 line south into the rich Palouse country. All this would tend to the uppuilding of the Canadian city of Vancouver, but Spokane and eastern Washington can not afford to stand on sentimentality in a matter so vitally affecting their material wellfare.
