TELLS OF THE
OLD cm
John Grant Recalls tlio Early Opor.
Hon* of Tho Noted Camp?Says It
Is Not \ ? Dead? Gives Stato
ment as To Hates of the Greut
CKt Activity.
John Grnnt, pioneer of tho Cas
slsr country, and (or a long time
engaged In mining and trading In
tnat region, brought the Dawson
News a statement, rocontly rogardlng
the operation of gold mines in that
region. Ho says.
"I have road the statement made
by William Norton in your issue of
Tuesday In regard to tho old Cas
siar mining camp. Mr. Norton has
made a mistake of the yoar in whlc'
th?, Capillar mines woro discovered,
as well as tho number of yoars they
wero operated.
"Thlbort creek was discovered in
1 J?73 by Henry Thibert, later a Klou
dike minor, and a man by tho name
of McColiough. The rush to tho
m'nes took place during tho follow
in*: winter.
"During the next ten yoars over
$5,000,000 was gotten from the var
ious creeks of the camp.
"Caliorcath, Grant & Coolf oper
and olght stores during most of
thoso years Instead of tho camp
being cleaned up in three years, wo
woro In busInesH ns a firm for 17
years. I went Into the country In
tho spring of 1970 and drew out of
tho firm In 1893.
"Iu tho fall of 1875 a number of
successful miiiera, principally from
McDavio creek, took passage on tho
steamship Pacific, en routo for the
mint In San Francisco, with hun
dreds of thousands of dollars In gold
dust. Unfortunately, when off Cape
Flattery the Pacific had a collision
In a very dark night, with tho salt
ing ship Orpheus. Tho Pacific wont
<<? ?n, with some 345 souls. Only
tn-o of all aboard were picked up.
Ilinco, a largo amount of treasure
was lost.
Instead of tho camp being clean
eu up In 1875 we passed through
our cash book during the month of
August, 1878, over $63,000 for
goods sold at Lakotown. Tho yoars
1879 and 1880 were prosperous.
"I would not havo taken notice
of the mistakes only I did not wish
to have a country misunderstood In
which I had passed so many sura
mins. It is not cloanod up yet.
NEW W. r. BOAT TO
UK READY JUNE t
Whltehorse ? Over two hundred
won are now employed In tho B. Y.
N. shipyards of this place, many of
them on the two now steamers (or
ih- lower Yukon routo, tho Alaska
an ' Yukon, and others on stoamers
w hlch ply on the Whlteboree-Dawso
routo, tho Intention of Foreman Hen
aereon being to launch tho latter as
soon as possible to got thom out of
the way of tho now onos.
Last week a forco of from fifteen
to twenty men was put to work
'.unrrylng the lco which Is four feet
thick, away from tho ways, whore
tl.ey oxtend Into tho water. The
Casca will be tho first steamer put
Into the water and she will .be launo
cd sometime this week, tho other up
por river boats following shortly.
On tho uew steamers are carpen
tors, painters and engineers ? all
busy as iM-os In their lines and all
r aklng good progress. Tho various
shop men ure as busy as bees keep
ing up with tho domand for their
products.
The skilled mechanics are all
working overtime, taking but thirty
minutes for lunch and dinner and
working until 8 at night, making 12
hours each day.
Foreman Hendorson oxpocts to
ha\o tho Alaska ready for launching
by the firs* of Juno nnd the Yukon
ready fifteen days later. Tho new
slumers arc allko as two eggs and
will be tho most up-to-dato craft ev
er Been on tho lower Yukon.
W. D. Gordon who returned from
tho outside Wednesday, says tho out
look Is good for a busy season for
tho Whlto Pass railroad and river
steamers. The new line, Dawson to
Fairbanks, Is destined to be quite a
favorite with lower river shippers.
Mr. Gordon Bpent all tho timo bo
v : i away, with tho oxcoption of two
or thro? days. In Seattle where Supt.
Wneeler at presont has his head
quarters and whero ho will remain
ui tit the middle of the month, when
he will como homo.
M'r. Gordon Is pleased with tho
rapid Progress mado on tho now
otcamors ar.d ventures the opinion
that they will be the finest on the
river when completed.
SAVED BYDREAMS
Curious Cases of Warnings That
Came In Slumber.
TOLD OF DEATH OR DISASTER.
Lucky Eicapei Due to Heeding the
Myaterioue MtiHgti of tho Pro
phetio Viiiona ? A Vivid Dream That
Reiultad In Preventing a Murder.
In splto of ibc number of authenti
cated ruses of dreams tbnt have come
true, tbo percentage of prophetic dreams
(bat are actually fulfilled must bo very
Hinall. However, It must be confessed
dial h considerable number of people
bare escaped death or disaster by pay
ing heed to a dream warning.
Wrecks have figured In more than one
prophetic dream, both the loss of tbe
Itepubllc and the Berlin being foretold
In dreams. A man was once about to
sail for Norway with a friend, but od
the nlgbt before be should hare itarted
be dreamed tbat he stood upon a moun
tain surrounded by water and that tho
water gradually began to submergo
the peak. Just as be was In danger of
belug drowned bo woke, and so vivid
ly was the dream Impressed upon bis
mind tbat be decldcd not to salt. A
few days later tbe ship by which be
should have traveled went down with
all hands.
Then there Is tho caso of a lady who
was about to leave India for England,
hut was deterred by a dream. Several
days before the date set for ber de
parture she bad n vision In wblcb she
saw tho vessel by wblcb sho was to
sail on tire In tnldocean. The sequel
was tbat a tiro actually did break out
under tbe conditions Indicated, but
after hard work by tbe crew It was
extinguished without loss of life.
Vet a third Instance was mentioned
In one of the shipping papers a few
yean ago. Ao apprentice up for bis
second mate's ticket failed and was
sent to sen for another voyage In a sail
Ing ship lie was appointed boatswain
of a fine sailing ship trading wltb Ails
trails and New Zealand. The nlgbt
before be signed on be had a vivid
dream In which ho saw bis ship sailing
along In fine weather under a full
spread of canvas. Soon a lltk 2c bank
of sen fog closed rouud the cllp|>er, al
though tbe dreamer could still see ev
erythlng on board as clearly as before.
All at once something glimmered
through the mist, and beforo anything
could be done a huge Iceberg crushed
luto the ship, the noise of the collision
and the falling spars waking him. So
vivid was the drenm that the vessel
left without her proiier boatswain, and
since then she baa figured among tbe
missing. Tbe curious thing about It,
said tbe narrator, wus that never be
fore or sluce can be remember having
dreamed of sen life.
It Is also on record that n shipwreck
?I crew were once brought buck to dv
lllxntlon through (lie Instrumentality of
a dream An Knst Indlnuman ran
ashore on Inaccessible Island, In tbe
Atlantic, and for three months the pas
sender* and crew subsisted .as best
they could During that Mine a rough
l>oiit was bullu and In this they were
transported to Tristan D'Acnolm Sev
eral weeks Inter a slilp appeared o(T
ibe Island beennse her owner had
dreauii'd a shipwrecked crew bud land
?d there. As clothes were scarce,
rough und ready garments were made
out of some green and red baize which
happened to be on board. Curious!}
enough. before tbe return of the vessel
the owner's wife bad a dream In wblcb
she saw It salllug Into port with people
dressed In grecu and red on board.
Now and attain a miner relates a
drcaiu tbat saved him from sudden
death, although strangers do not often
hear these stories. There was once a
bad accident at a Derbyshire pit, sev
eral men being killed by a fall of the
cage. One of the meo who should
have been Id that cage was absent, for
be bad a dream that It was dashed to
pieces, falling from the very top wltb
all tbe men Inside It Oo bearing the
dream bis wife persuaded him to stay
at home that day.
When Melton Prior, tbe famous war
artist, died most of tbe papers told tbe
story of the dream warning be had
when In Zululaud. At flrst bo deter
mlucd to disregard It, but It made such
an Impression on him tbat be at last
determined to keep away from tbo col
umn bo Intended to Join. Oo engaged
another man to go. and be was among
tbe Orst killed.
From time to time crimes, oven mur
der, *iBve been prevented by a dream
A lady saw In a dream an old relative
being murdered, so sbo posted off to
her house and was surprised to And
the door opened by tho very man sbo
bnd seen commit the deed. She ob
tallied permission to sleep with tbo
old lady and before retiring asked the
two sous of tbe latter to sit op all
night In the adjoining room.
As soon as tbe old lady bad gone to
sleep she got out of bed and locked tbe
door and then lay awake, listening.
After wbat seemed hour* a ray of
light appeared under tbe door and tbo
knob was curefully turned. Leaping
out of bed. sbo called tbe sons, throw
open tbe door and found tbe manserv
ant outside with a coal scuttle Id bis
hand. On being asked by the lady
and the men wbat bo wanted bo re
plied that he bad answered tho bell
But no bell bad been rung, and In tbe
coal scuttle was a knlfel Then he
saw tbe gamo was op and confessed.
The day before bis mistress bad re
ceived her rents, whlcb were kept tn
her room until they were paid Into the
bank the next day. and he bad sud
denly determined to mnrder bcr fsr
tbe money ? I/>ndon Family Herald.
