GOOD TIES
FOR OBI
.). A. Quick of New York, assis
lout manager of the (lug
Konheims at Dawson, arrived on the
City of Seattle and will leave for
Whitehorse tomorrow and take the
first boat down the river.
Despite the reports of an over
stocked labor market at Dawson, .Mr.
Quick says that lie anticipates a good
season. It will bo fully as good as
last year, he states, and the shortage
of positions is largely accounted lor
by the tact that na unusually largo
number of men remained inside last
winter. L ast year the Guggenheiins
?mploywd about 2.0(H) men at Dawson
and this year they will have about
l,."iOU on the pay roll.
Water has been started through the
big ditch, according to an unofficial
report received by Mr. Quick while
in Seattle.
Richard Kennedy and -1. W. Ilurnham
arrived 011 the Clcy of Seattle
to confer with Martin Conway in re
gard to the development of their
Painy Hollow mines. Messrs. Km.
nedy and Rumbam will leave for til-'
Rainy Hollow district '11 a few days
and with a crew of about eight men
expect to take out 1,000 tons of ore
before fall. The ore will be hauled
to Haines by wagons nex winter.
