HITS HARD
Atlin Pap-r Tabes Sides
Against Hydraulic Men
The Atlin Claim favors the individual
; m%jr as against the hydraulic men in
the Atlin dis'rict. Commenting upon
the Interviews with representatives of
the big companies that frequently ap
pear in papers on the coast and in the
east, it says:
, 'T&ese gentlemen have the stage all
to themselves as the individual miner
stays at home and works to keep up the
annual gold output. If tne Minister of
Mines report of the output was depend
ent on the results achieved by the
majority of the companies, Atlin would
cu,*a very sorry figure. The indivi
duals, proportionated, are taking out
the most gold and the interviews that
err^nate from company promoters
claiming that the d ?y of the individual
miner is over are rediculous. The
wis& is father to the thought.
"The stand taken by the government
in this matter, and which is bsing given
effect to as rapidly as possib'e, will "put
the Boot on the other foot before long
and, while all legitimate work and de
velopment wi'l be encouraged, those
holding concessions will 'be obliged to
conform to the Act or give way to the
dispis^ id.ividual operator, to whose
w??k 7 o per cent of the total gold out
put since the beginning must be cred t
ed."

Jefferson Due at Miduight
Sails Tomorrow

Steamship Company, says the Je'Terson

Skagway at midnight tonight. She
will sail (or the south, probably, some
time tomorrow forenoon.

ship to Skagway has been watched for
with such great interest as has that of
the Jefferson. She has not on!* 10
days' mail for Skagway and the interior
and much Christmas good* for the
merchants but Christmas presents to

Good Christinas Gifts Make
Givers Contended
There is nothing which contributes
so much towards ones happiness at
Christmas time as satisfaction with the
presents one has purchased for his rela
tives and friends. The knowledge that
you have made others happy makes you
doubly so. This proposition is suscept
ible of proof. It is being demonstrated
day after dey by those men and women
and boys and girls who buy their Christ
mas gifts at our sto e. There are two
ways of proving this Ask one of the
happy ones who have already made their
purchases, or cooie and make your
selections and be happy yourself.
Our stock of diamonds, watches,
rings, nugget and other jewelry, cut
glass, chio*, souvenirs and other
Christmas articles and our prices
speak for themselves.

(Special Correspondence.) t
Ilniues, Dec 2i? The cantata, ' The c
New Born Kiug," ??iven last night at r
the A. P. hall by the Haloes' ?
school children, ably assisted by the ?
ladies of the town and military post, <
was one of the most enjoyable, mo t '
perfectly rendered productions ever ?
seen in our town. For amateur talent ?
and amateur training it cannot bo ?
too highly praised. The staging, that ?
essential feature to ai<y performance, '
was great, especially when ono consid
ers the limited space a d difficulties
naturally encountered when propor
scenic material is more the exception
than the rule.
Miss Lura Morris, the as' :Clergy man, "
with her sweet and rich alto voice;
M'ss Rosie Balback, as "Mary," the
child in search of Christ, (a very dill*
cult part), who acted and sang herself
into the hearts of her audience; Miss
Estella Ford, as a sister of charity, and
Miss Emma Harvey, as an angel, were
excellent and deserving of unstinted
praise.
The tableaux were sple- did. The
children's choruses ad.led much to the
entertainment, the little ones acquit
ing themselves with credit. The music. '
by vplunt?er members of the Third
infantry band, was of the drtsh and per
fection customary with that organiza
tion.
Special mention is due Mrs. Cortes
tjrd and Miss Harriet Case for their
t, ccess in drilling the cast and chorus
es *nd in managing and produciug in
so short a time such an excellent cast
from the untrained talent thry found.
The cast of characters was as follows:
C ergyman Miss Laura Morris.
A Sister of Charity .Miss Estella Ford.
Mary, a little girl, Miss Rose Balback.
I Angel Miss Emma Harvey.
