[Special to Dally Alaskan ]
Among the late arrivals from
the new gold strike southeast of
Atltn are Wm. Conroy. Kenny Mc
Laren, Joe Wlls.m and Skookum
J ha. Conrov, McLaren and Wilson
ire old-timers in this district and
experienced miners. Skookum Jim
Is one or the discoverers of the fa
mous Klondike In Yukon. AH are
very enthusiastic over the pros
pects of the ne* diggings and pre
dict a lively future for the camp.
Conroy and McLaren have started
back on the return trip with four
tons of supplies which they will re
lay with dog teams. In fact, most
of the stakers are preparing to re
turn at once with outfits to com
mence operations as soon as the
snow is off th<> ground. I'p to
date, five creekt have been discov
ered and staket . While no ex
tensive prospect ng hits been done,|
on account of the presence of snow
and the frozen condition of the
ground, good prospects have been
found in various places on all of
the creeks. Over three hundred
claims in the new Uiatrict have been
recorded.
At the regular weekly meeting of
the "Atiln Pastime Club" last Wed
nesday evening. It being Indies'
Night, the ladles Introduced "The
Atlln Old Maid's Matrimonial Bur
eau." The little play was Intermix
ed with some very clever remarks
and timely hints for the bach
elors present. Since the meet
ing there has been a "run" on
the local drug store for Love Powd
ers, the aupply of which is almotit
exhausted. Refreshments were
served after the meetings followed
by dancing until after midnight.
The evening was pronounced as t>*
ing the most enjoyable since the
Club was crganised last fall. Th<?
Club is open at all times so that
the mombers may meet and indulge
in rmding the latest papers and
magasines, or while away the time
at cards or music. - Wednesday
night is the big night, when, ac
cording to the syllabus, dancing,
progressive whist or music is the
main feature. The gentlemen de
fray the expenses by monthly as
sessment and the ladies serve re
freshments at each regular meeting.

delay fresh dogs were secured and
the journey resumed. On account
of the great depth of snow and
mildness of weathor,. It Is impoaalble
to cover more than ai. average of

Each Yaar to the Haughty Descend
ants of tha Victorioua Spamarda.
Every year there takes place In the
Pyreuean highland* a remarkable fete. |
It is held at the boundary atone of San j
Martin, which separates the French j
valley Bareton from the Spanish valley
of Roncal. Every year the representa
tives of t'ae French peasants assemble
there in order to pay the Spaniards a
tribute, which consist* of three calves
of the same age and the same color,
and the delivery of the calves is ac- j
companied by ceremonies which suffl I
ciently indicate that the old Inhabit- 1
ants of the Roncal valley were once .
victorious over their neighbors.
At 9 o'clock in the morning the may- j
ors of the various village* In the Bare
ton valley, bravely adorned with their ;
blue, white and red scarfs of office,
march up to the boundary stone. Id
front of the column walks a lad. with a
pike, from the point of which flutters a
little white pennon as a gage of peac?.
The three calves are dragged in the
rear of the procession at the end of
long ropes. Calves and scarfs take up
their position by the stone nnd await
the arrival of the Spaniards.
They are soon visible in the distance.
In front walks a man clad In sheep
skins, who waves a red pennon at the
end of a pike as a sign of war. Behind
him walks the alcalde of Isabt, the
principal village in the valley of Ron
cal. and following him come the a- ;
oaldes of the other rillnges. their strtffs
of office in their hands. The bulk of i
the procession consists of shepherds,
stern looking fellows armed with aid
sabers and matchlocks.
The alcalde of Isaba is all glorious to j
behold in a long black garment fat- j
teued by gold buttons. & tall white ruff, I
tight fitting knee breeches, red silk 1
stockings and buckled shoes. A cum
brero covers his bend, and In his hands
he holds the staff adorned with sllrer
knobs, the emblem In Spain of magis
terlnl dignity.
As eoon as the Spaniards reach the
rendezvous the alcalde of Isaba steps
to the front and addresses them in sol
emn ceremonial style:
"Are you come to nay tribute and
swear friendship icvjnllng to old cus
tom and tradition?"
"That ta the reason of our coming."
