Mr. Collyer is ON Guelph boy. and is only 26 “a“ of age, but is the pioneer news- bM-prman of the Yukon.

In 1899 he bought out The mwson City Sunday Gleaner, the first paper published there. after A succnssnn. 11mm an existence 0! nine months, and _ commenced The Daily Sun. now the official paper. There are two other papers there. and all sell at 25c. a copy, which is the smallest amount of currency in use. The Sun handles the daily Associated Press service, since the installation of the telegraph wire a year ago. Mr. Collyer is also largely interested in mining opera- tions in the territory. He has been all through the whole district, and last year was north 150 miles inside the Arctic circle, where is exemplified the so; ing that “ the sun never sets on the British flag.” During the month of June the sun and the moon are both visible the entire time. Mining is by no means exhausted < yet. and the output this year will be about $11,000,00tl.or nearly 8| ,000,000 allt’it'l of last year. Rich strikes have recently been made on Boucher and Lost Chicken Creeks, in the “ 40- Mile District," the scene of the first ML: «1 «ovaries, which yield from $2 to < . ‘d pan. A town of 500 was de- toiriiguwl entirely, of men. women anti t"ltll'~ll'Pn, when the news came, an‘l 'lw)’ all jumped the 67 miles to the lww locality. The radius of min- In: has extended from 50 miles to 1m miles. The government is giving RS‘lUCrUlCP, to the ordinarv miner by l'E‘M'llltllllfl the 'l'redzold and other, such concessions, and openinx them to all-comers. Gold quart-z has been found in paying quantities, the true Manure Cl the lead being on Eldorado Creek. The famous Lone Star group is luttatet‘l on Victoria Gulch, and the municipal government of Dawson has voted the company operating it sub- \tantial monetary aid to further the development. I t A t t I I I I t I ‘0 .._.. Once quartz is found to be a paying proposition capital will come in, in large some, for it is a well known fact that placer propositions will not; attract capitalists to the same degree as quartz capper or silver because of the short life of the workings. While a placer may be all worked out in from two to five years a quartz mine may last half a century. Once capi- tal begins to flow in, whether for quartz, copper or hydraulic workings it will continue to come, in an ever increasing volume, providing always the mines prove profitable. There has been a great change in opinion in regard to quartz in this camp during the past year, and there seems to be much to justify it. The deveIOpment of one first class paying quartz mine ;will work arevolution in the Yukon. It is said that the miners have been 8 losing 30 per cent. of their output of l« gold through crude mining. The electro-chemical process will remedy t this. and Mr. Collyer will himself t make use of it. Dawson is fiourish- f ing just now despite the fact that it suffers from floating population. The bulk of the capital is invested in mining. The closing down of the gambling and dance halls has tied up money in a way. but will result in ultimate good. Transportation facil- ities have been improved immensely. and a railway may be running into Dawson next spring. A false report , circulated in the north some time ago l caused small dealers up there to de- lay importing their supplies. and, as a result, there is a bad congestion of lireight on the way up. Mr. Collyer ! says that Dr. VVickett. who was sent l to the Yukon to look into the trade ‘ question for the Canadian Manufac- ‘ turers’ Association. made a thorough investigation, and his report is worth every consideration. Canadian man- , ulacturers have never made a de- l termined efiort to secure their preper share of the trade, and have lacked the persistence and ” fight” of their United States rivals. Still. figures show that imports from the United States are falling ofi greatly now. and the Northern Commercial Com- pany have this year, for the first time, bought a large quantity of their supplies in Canadian cities. Dawson City enjoys a good mail service dur~ ing the summer, and Mr. Collyer gets his cOpy of " The Chronicle ” regular- ly, but, during the winter months, letters alone are carried. The money-order business of Dawson is said to be the largest in the world. Mr. Collyer and his parents have now gone on a trip to New York and other important American cities. ‘ After their return in a couple of H weeks they all go to Florida for the 3lwinter, and it is highly probable that our prosperous young towns- “ man will not return to Dawson till 0 some time next spring. We are 'T'always pleased to interview Mr. . l -._._L__A-.fl l a r $ Collyer.

Mr. Will Wade and sisner of Wel- beck, Spent Sunday at Mr. Robert Edge’s. - Mrs. D. McFayden had a goose stolen on Hallowe’en. Likely a. two- legged fox was the thief. Edge Hill Sunday School closed for the season on Sunday last and the teachers and scholars are preparing for their annual Social which is to be held on Friday night. The members of the Edge Hill beef ring held their annual meeting at the home of Mr. Robb. Ector last Friday evening. All the business for this year was settled and the Ring organized for 1903. While” playing with a bottle last Sunday the little two-year-old son of Mr. Harry Williams gave his wrist a nasty cut. The doctor was called in and put three stitches in the wound and the little fellow. at time of writ- ing. is doing nicely. formed last week regarding Harry moving to Manitoba.

Both are first-class threshers and have well outfits. Grain is turning out good. Mr Thompson on Hem- stock’s farm threshed off 15 acres of oats fully 800 bushels good measure and good weight. On account of haying so many thnesbings to attend a number of the farmers haven’t taken up their rooms yet. After all there hasn’t-been much plowing done for such a fine fall. Just arrived it. good time to attend to threshing on Thursday morning very early, October 80th, a son to Mr. and Mrs. Donald McDougall. Dr. Hutton, of Durham, was aroused from his sleep to attend on the oc- casion. All are doing well. consequently he is entitled to pension whether or not he served faithfully during that time. We were pleased to meet with his successor, Mr. Arch. McLellan. the other day. who pre- sented us modestly with our bill of fare. Archie looks more like a stud- ent from Knox College than a public- an . Mr. and Mrs. David Hinks treated anumber of their old friends from here to a party on Hallowe’eu.

Joe Campbell and Wilson are draw- ing ship knees all fall from the Elder farm, Balsam Valley. Joe says he takes fifty hundred weight on every load, but his poor horses think it’s i far more. Hallowe’en passed on very quietly with little or no tricks done. The for there often would be some un- manly tricks committed on poor in- nocent peOple who never dreamt that there was danger of any kind. We notice that some of our young ladies are equipped from the sole of their feet to the crown of their heads ‘ making improvements on the already ‘ good work of the Creator in bestow- inz unon them the natural beauties ing upon of nature. The wind sounds a little like win. ter, but we cannot. say a word now for the time of its arrival is at hand. The women are complaining of an extra dose of washing since threshing commenced.
