PROSPEROUS AND
6IISY ATLIN IS
DESCRIBED
E. A. RASMUSON SAYS AUTOS
CAN MAKE 50 MILES AN HOUR
ON I lOADS—LABOR IS SCARCE
—TELLS OF MINING METHODS
—FOX FARMING IS BIG INDUS
TRY,
"Atlin is the prettiest, and most
glorious place I ever saw. The
country is one of evergreen hills,
with tlie bald rocks eutirely covered
up, and with the pine trees and wil
lows and other flolage colored by
the frost into all the shades of the
rainbow. This view is reflected in
to a perfectly clear transparent lake
with the picture in the water even
brighter than the real scene. When
the war is over and. Atlhi is more
thoroughly advertised the White
Pass will have to increase its ser
vice in order to handle the tourist
travel into ihat country."
Such is the opinion of E. A. Ras
musou who has just returned from
a business trip into Atlin and
Whitehorse.
"A stranger going mio ahu iui
the tirst time Is particularly im
pressed with the fine roads that
lead to the mining creeks and
claims in the district," continued
Mr. Rasmuson. "Becauso of the Im
mense amount Of travel the roads
are packed as hard as paved high
ways and they are so well graded
that an auto can easily make a
.speed of 50 miles an hour nearly
the whole length."
Mr. Rasmuson describes the At
lin people, their business and their
government as being practical.
While there a term of court was be
ing held with Judge Young presid
ing, and the judge and jurors went
in a body to the various mines to
investigate certain questions in dis
pute. To get the information first
hand the men, including the judge,
put on slickers and rubber boots,
went down the shaft into one of the
mines, and with candles on their
hats to light the way, walked thru
Che tunnels investigating certain le
gal questions which the court was
considering in connection with the
claim. "It was a practical court,"
said Mr. Rasmuson, "and it was a
casej where the mountain couldn't
come to them, so they went to it."
Mining is handled on a percentage
basis in the Atlin coutry. In the
Spruce creek district shafts are
sunk into the ground to bedrock and
from that point various "sets" are
cut in different directions. A "set"
is described as a cut in the gravel
four feet in length, six feet high,
and 10 feet wice. iwu liieu o>« M
pected to dig a "set" a; day, and la
this particular mine a "set" returns
about $100 in value. Of this
Hint til9 two miners get 78 per
. the government g«ts a 2 per
cent royalty, and the owner of the
claims get 20 percent. When "Bets"
are dug deeper and deeper Into the
mountain they soon form a tunnel
which is roofed and walled with
logs a!id timbers. In time the whole
bottom of the hill will be under,
mined with these tunnels six feet
in height.
Mr. Rasmuson stated that Atlin
is busy and prosperous, and that
there is a scarcity of labor. The av
erage workingman gets 35.50 a day.
Fox farming in the Atlin country
is rapidly coming to the front, arad
it is said that one man, In a per
iod of three years, has developed
a farm which he recently refused to
sell for $25,000.
Back of Carcross the Venus mine
is doing well and mining consider
able ore. The great need in the
whole country is men. The same
thing applies to the Valreie and
Pueblo mines near Whitehorse. The
Pubelo has just about completly
recovered from the caye-in, but its
development is hampered for a want
of labor.
NIGHT LETTERS DISOONTIVUED

Boots and you'll find it will be
long spell before you need an
other pair.
"Hipress" outwears any boot ever
made. There's a mighty good reason,
tor "Hipress" isn't "built up" like
other boots. It's welded into one solid
piece without a seam—so ^ there's no
place for it to leak—and it's actually
made of die same extra tough rubber
that goes into Goodrich tires. Also it's
the boot for solid comfort.
