ment mining inspector for the Daw

yesterday from Whltehorse and will
do south on the Princess May. Ho Is
wing to Toronto for his first vaca

?Mr. McFarlano came through Skag
way in 1S98 with his brother on their
way from Brandon, Man., to Dawson.
He has a vivid recollection of the
town and remembers having a talk
with "Soapy" Smith, who was then
;u the hey dey of his power. Yes
terday while in Skagway Mr. McFar
lano was tendered a five cent piece
in change for a purchase. "Thnt's!
the first nickel I've seen in eight
years," he said.
"Prospects were never bettor
around Dawson," said Mr. McFarlano.1
"the placer mining Is still good for
Individuals and will bo good for the
tK-xt ;wenty years at least. New dis
coveries are constantly being made
The quartz mining Is increasing, how
over, for the reason that the placer
fields are being pretty well taken up.
"Davidson Brothers of Toronto
have bouded a number of clalniR on
the Dominion Dome where quartz
has been discovered in surface pros
pecting. Tunnels have been driven
'li 2.000 feci, and will go 500 feet be
lt w the level. Cross cutting and
leads are being pushed and if gold
is found In quantities It will decide
favorably- once and Tor all the future :
of the Dawson district,"
