HE HUNDREDS TO DIE
TORONTO, July 13? An awful for
est fire has claimed a great toll of
life in the Porcupine district. The

rf the mining country causing the
death of hundreds of miners. At

escaped out of three hundred. Relief

dollars. __________________
DETROIT, July U? The terrible
results of the raging forest fires are
not yet known. The property loss Is
Incalculable and all reports coming
Into this city say that it Is Impossible
to estimate the number of dead.

PROGRESS ON
THE PORCUPINE
Daniel Cadzow. who for the past T j
v<<ars has conducted a trading post ,
at Rampart House on the Porcupine
river, returned on the last trip of
the Princess May enroute to his
home. He went outside to purchase
a stock of goods which was brought
alonjr on the same boat.
The boundary survey parties make
Cadiow's placo their headquarter*
getting some of their supplies from
him. Mr. Cadzow says that ?h?e
parties have a hard task before them
and he thinks it will require a much
longre time to complete the work '
than has been contemplated, owing
to the difficulties with which they
must contend. The country to the
north is largely a succession of bald
hills, bare of timber and Intensely
cold in. the winter time.
There are at the present time only
five permanent white settlers, of
which he is one, in the entire coun
try. Most of his trade has heretofore
been with the natives who get great
quantities of furs in that section.
That section of the country he says
has had but very little done to It
in the way of prospecting but there
are splendid indications where work
has been done that it will be a
producer of gold some time. The
prospects found so far are on streams
flowing into the Arctic and In tribu
taries of the Old Crow river.
The formation Is mica-schist and
slate with plenty of quartz in evi
dence. The territory on the Ameri
can side Is just as favorable for pros
pecting as across the line where he
is located according to his views.
He thinks that if there were a
regular steamboat service up there
that the country would long ago have
developed miriing on a successful
scale but that the lack of transporta
tion has held the country back
L. H. A'ork, who has been in Skae
way for the past ten days, left on
the Humboldt for the south.
Hubert Pierce arrived on the May
yesterday and left this morninc for
Atlin where he will spend his sum
mer vacation with his parents, 'lis
father having a large hydraulic plant
on Birch creek.

Charles Ferrln. who is one of the
hest mining men in Alaska, has been
in Skaj<way for thr past several day*
having stopped while enroute to the
Yukon and Nome.
Mr. Ferrln Is receiver for the|
Council City ami Solomon River rail
road on Seward Peninsula, manager |
of the Taylor creek Ditch Company,
perating In the Kougrok and presi
dent of the Northern Mining and I
Trading company which owns and op I
crates some of the most valuable
pr pcrties around Nome and Topkok.
Mr. Ferrln has had wires from the]
men In charge of the different Inter
ests of which he Is the actual head I
an] everything seems to be moving
along all right. Th<? Kougrok will |
produce quite a nice run this sum
mer and the Northern Mining com
pany's properties around Nome which |
are worked under lease to the Pi
oneer Mining company are also pro
dueing up to his expectations.
While here Mr Ferrln was Interest
cd In the recent finds around Skag
way and was so impressed with the
stories, of the new strike that he
oamc up to the Alaskan office and
had a look at the samples. He pro
noanced them very favorable and
was especially pleased with the sam
ples from two of the locations. He I
thinks Skagwav has a splendid chant n
to become a great mining camp.
Mr. KVrrin will leave for White- j
horse in the morning and proceed ,
down the Yukon to Nome.

MINE AT ONCE
J. E. Clark, the prospector who h?s
Mdf the great strike on the Kas?
Fork of the Skagway river. an ac
count of which was published In yes
terday's paper. was eon at his rabln
on Tenth street by an Alaskan rep
resentative.
From him It Is learned that the
ledge I* from 10 to 14 feet In width
and carries all through, ore of the
same gneeral qualfty as that s-'en
on the street. Indeed some of It
shown the the Alaskan representa
tive was even richer, being studded
with gold on every side.
The lead haw a dip of a boot ?? de
grees with diarlte for a foot wall and
granite for a hanging wall Between
the granite and the qnartt there in
about two feet of talc.
The lead Is visible right to the
summit of the gulch where It Is lo
cated. The hills are rery abrupt
and It Is a most dlfflcnlt and danger
ous undertaking to get near the ont
cropping.
The two claims fcva?<"-d on the
M which Is on Whistler's Oalefi
am nam^d the TVdlr ft. belonging to
Mr. Clark and the ffoosicr an eg
tenalon. belonging to Arthnr Wilson,
who was with him and helped do the
staking.
It la the intention of Mr Clark to
.-rosa-cut the ledge as soon as he
can get supplies on the ground
which will be In three or four days
It is too bad he said, that the te?t
mill is not up. so that he conld get
a mill run test of the ore He la
too anxious to watt for the installa
tion of the plant iiH will send oat
five hnndred pounds to l^dysmith as
=|oon as he can get It down to the
dock.
At the time Mr. Clark found tj|e
first bit of flo^t in the Skagway val
ley thirteen years ago, he picked np
'liwe different kinds of quart* each
of which was very1 rich, showing free
srold. One of the pieces was from a
ledge of blue qnartt that Is even
richer than that which has been Iden
tified ns belonging to the ledge JW
located.
Mr. Clark has not bo?n able tn
find this bine lead bnt he la of the
certain belief that It Is np there som??
where. There has been no prospect
ing In that aecllcn of the country so
far as any evi??enro shows and
there are number* of gulches that
