The reported departure last
week of Mr. and Mrs. N. Bel
yin has proved an error, as the
couple are still here. The mis
take was due to a peculiar con
fusion of identities, for which
our informant, a resident iof un

tirely innocent of wrongful in
tent.

The Alaska Weekly of Seat
tle, in a recent editorial anent
the silver situation gives the
Portland Canal district a fine
boostunderthecaption “Watch
Portland Canal and Silver.’’
Reiterating a former pre
diction that this section of
Alaska and British Columbia
would develop into one of the
great lode mining camps of
the continent, the journal de
dares that “silver is not
through by any means—it is
going to go higher and other
nations are going to f ollow i-'uit
to some extent. In the mean
time keep your eye on the Port
land Canal section and other
silver producing sections and
silver producing properties.

beautiful vocal numbers by a
choir composed of Mrs. LeClair
and Messrs. W. D. Smith, L. R.

Mr. Smith. Responses in the
church ritual were made by
Mr. Bouzek.
