arrived iu town yesterday from the
Kaiuy Hollow country and left on
this morning's train for his home
in Atliti. He is always good for a

ever he strikes Skagway, and it
w.is therefore with a feeling of
citalnty that reliable information
would he forthcoming that a rep
i'tentative of this paper asked for
the la;est news of the new placer
strike which was reported to have

We are informed by Mr. Hugh
Molyneaux tha'; a couple ot weeks
ago, before he left Atlin for Pleas
ant Camp, he paid a visit to some
of the creeks in the Atlin district,
where he was very hospitably en
tertained and shown every courtesy
while making the rounds on Mc- )
Kee and Ruby creeks.
On June 23d ths McKee creek
Hydraulic Co. made a cleanup of
515,000 for eleven days' piping. Mr.
Adams, manager of the company, re
ported that work was progressing
in fine shape and that the optpul
for this season would be texceeil
ingly good.
The Ruby Creek Gold Mining Co.,
of which Mr. Daulton is manager,
is also making excellent progrc s
and Mr. Daulton is to be congratu
lated for the manner in which lie
is handling this valuable property,
which promises to add materially to
the gold output of the Atliu min
