Jacklin, accompanied by the party ol
five prominent mining engineers who
recently came north to inspect the
Alaska-Gastineau mines are well-pleas

been anticipated and also that the
tailings were giving better results
than expected.

The Ladies Aid Society, which is
an auxiliary of the Presbyterian
church, are holding their food sale
this afternoon in the store of Dough
erty & Ferguson.
Although a large supply of eatables
had been provided, the demand was
so great that, at the time of going to
press, many lines had been entirely
closed out. The members have fur
nished everything free of expense and
the store room has been donated so
that the receipts are all profit. It is
planned to bold another sale in the
near future.
