SPOKANE, July 19 ? A crisis ha*
arisen in the inland empire. The
farm hands in this vicinity have re
fused to work on account of the ex
cessive heat.
AMONG HE
The forest fires which have been
raging in the neighborhood of the
East Pork of the Skagway river sirne
Monday have made it almost impossi
ble for prospectors to get up that
branch of the stream consequent "y
there will be more delay in getting
supplies up to tshe Dolly B, where it
was expected by the owner, Mr.
Clark, to commence active operations
this* week.
Monday Mr. Clark brought in sev
eral samples from the Trolly B to be
placed in the Alaskan's cabinet for
exhibition to all who take an inter
est m mining matters. One of the
samples is fairly studded with gold
which shows without the aid of the
glass.
Mr. Hukill also left a large collec
tion of ore samples from the different
locations which he has up the val
ley. Some of his also show free gold
in the quartz which remains just as
it was broken from the ledge.
The forest fire has also extended
over the property owned by Mr.
Hukill doing great damage to the
timber and effectually stopping any
attempt to reach the property till
it cools down considerable.
The fire was getting close to ReM i
creek as the Alaskan went to pres* i
and it is doubtful if Mr. Bledso will
be able to reach his properties, the
Skagwav Chief and the Galena for
several days. A fine sample from
the Skagwav Chief is in the Alaskan
office.
W. H. Shaw, Steward for the
White Pass Company, left for White- [
horse this morning.

Last night & small gathering of
Skagway's music lovers were treat
ed to an entertainment, such as it
is rarely given a Skagway audience
to enjoy, when the Hiller-Lindsay
Company filled their engagement at
Elks- Hall.
From the first number on the pro
gram to the end of the entertain
ment the audience was with the per
formers and followed their every
mood, was swayed by each change
of temperament and time.
Miss Hiller played her selections
with an assurance and confidence
that would do credit to a veteran of
the concert platform, and showed a
perfect control of her chosen instru
ment, especially in the use of the
bow. Her perfect tone called forth
encore after encore, to which she
responded with a grace that was al
luring.
Miss Lindsay, the soprano soloist,
has a very pleasing voice, which is
possessed of great power combined
with a quality that commands at
tention. Miss Lindsay also exhibit
ed good taste in the choosing of
her songs, giving only such selec
tions as could be readily appreciated
by those present.
The entire entertainment was
rounded out by the work of Mrs.
Hiller, who was the accompanist of
thm evening.
