BOLD STAIiPEDERS HERE
The Jefferson arrived this noon |
with a capacity list of passengers
She left Seattle with 181 persons
and after distributing main of theni
along the way, picked up about
twenty at Juneau for this port.
Among the more notable passen
gers are Skookum Jim Mason and
family, Geo. Carmacks and W. C
Leak, who with other parties, art
bound for the new discovery iu the
Teslin country. There ate about
thirty persons among the passeng
ers who will make the trip to Atlin
and proceed at once to Silver cre?k. ,
While tiaws of the new diggings
are not ov< rly satisfactory, because
ot the fact that no 0110 knows any
thing definite about them, the fact
that Mason has been there for the
past two years, aud is going in agai
with his Irieuds to do more work,
leads to the belief that he has
knowledge of Hie existence of rich
pay in many of the creeks. <
Mr. Win. Drury, the last man out i
from there, does not 8<>em inclined
to place much stock in the oxist- '<
nice of great values, but says that i
ho believes some of the crceks in
tfte Ailin district are as rich as I
Silver. He can ste no reason for a
stampede at present. Certain It Is
hat coarse gold has been panned ou
of Silver creek and it is a safe bei
that there is some good ground
there, but it has ye! to be proven.
Like all new discoveries there are
stories of all kinds floating around
and are apparently uuthen lc until
someone attempts to run them down
then they disappear in the air. From
the best information the Daily Alas
kan can secure t h ;to is seme coarse
gold in tho district, ami that is all
anyone knows.
HUES PUNS
GANGED AGLEE
London, March 15 ?Yesterday ?a
the day set for the taking of Adri- 1

that is what happened to the Allies.
After waiting for reinforcements and
arms, everything was in readiness

and then t ike the city.
Shortly <:fter dawn the attack be
gan on the south fortress; bitter

Turks heid their own and maintained

of the Allies one after another as
