GOVERNMENT I
MS GOOD TO
ATLIN
With the assurance of govern
meet aid in the Atiia country this
summer, and with the hope that tho
Canadian government will send a
mining engineer to see what'is re
quired in order to facilitate mining,
the prospects for a fine season in At
hn this summer are high, accord
ing to Captain W. H. Hathorn and
William Morrison, mining men en
rnou'e to Vancouver for a short visit
As is true in almost all mining sec
tions of the northern country, the
gre»test handicap is a shortage of
labor.. I
Mining in the creek beds has a.
gain been resumed, the severe cold
weather haying caused all op*ra
tl.<*8 to close down for a time. Ap
proximately 150 men are working
at present, which force will be great
lv increased during the open season*
All mining men in that country are
more than optimistic as to Atlln'a
future, and predict a development
second to nothing in Alaska or the
Vakcn..
Atlin has done noblj in sending
htr sons to the war, 25 having gone
so far. Of this number six have
oi't* the supreme sacrifice.
