Fingers. Y. T., arrived up on the
Princess May touay, and will take
the next train for Whltehorse. from
where lie will go t? the miius to
take charge of the summer's opera
tions.
Mr. Milton goes into the collieries
this season more optoniistic thane>er,
and states that the future of his
enterprise is assure:!.
During the past winter he has ha J
a number r f interviews with Presi
dent Dickeson, and hal a confer once
with Mr. oickeson at which the
Close Rrothers wore present, in Chi
cago a short time age.
President Dickeson, in one inter
view had with Mr. Milton said: "1
don't see why you cannot work up a
good business along the line of the
White Pass & Yukon railroad, and
especially a' Whitehorse, the Atlas
Mining Property, Caribou am J Con
rad, as well as Skagway."
Mr. Milton stated to a repre?on a
tive of this ps.per that he had not
anticipated doins business on the
south end the White Pass Route
far some time to come, but in antici
patlon of a realization cf business to
be had, and the encouraging talks
had with Mr. Dickeson, his company
has purchased from the Jeffrey Man
ufacturing company, of Columbus, O.,
a complete am] up-to-date coal wa-sh
ary, serening an 1 conveying piait
with a capacity of 400 tons p<r ten
ho-ir day. This equipment, Mr. Mil
ton state*, is r.ow on the way. and
will be ins'alled and in working or
der bv the middle of July.
?Vith th.? "i H'ion of this plant,
at a cost t"> tli? company of about

inj oven, which this equipment now
makes possible, we will be able to
make an excellent coke for smelting
purposes. "
"Heretofore our a'tentions ha^ al
ways been given to the country north
of our mines, and we firmly believe
that with the assistance which Pres
ident Dickcson has offered us, we
will be able to furnish ooaI to South
eastern Yukon and this sectt:n of Al
aska, * said Mr. Milton, "a?id never
before since 1 have been coming in'o
the country- have the prospects been
brighter for this se'tion cf .Ma?ka
and the Yukon."
Just what the cost of coal to the
consumers at Skacway would be, Mr.
Milton was unable at this time to
state, but said that he believed that
it would be much loss than the con
sumers were now payinc.
