benefits us as well
At a speech at a conservative j
party mteting held in Dawson. -o»
the night of Wednesday, Sept. t
15th, 1915. Dr. Alfred Thompson, |
member of the Dominion parliament
from Yukon territory, gave a brief!
review of what had been done toy
the government since getting con
trol of public affairs in 1911. His ■
address*, which appears in the Daw
Bon News of Sept. 16 th, is an in
teresting article, but owing to its
length we regret tiiat we can only
publish that portion relating to
Yukon territory, which is almost asj
important to Skagway as it is to
the ;>eople of the interior, for the
reason that any measure that is of
benefit to our Canadian neighbors
in ths mining regions to the east,
aud north and west of us is almost
of eiiual importance to either Skag
way or Haines, for it is through
these two ports on Lynn canal alone
that passenger and freight traffic
to and from the outside con be car
ried ou advantageously -he whole oi
the ycar, '"or, however regrettable
it may be the international boun
dary line isolates and shuts in
the Yukon territory aud Northern
British Columbia from tidewater on
the Pacific, while it proves au
equally insurmountable barrier to
the expansion of American com
mercial, mining and industrial pur
suits in the opposite direction. Dr.
Thompson's remarks follow:
"The prospects for the future
prosperity of the Yukon are yery
good at the present time. At the
south end of the territory, in
the U'heaton district, there are large
deposits of antimony ore, which our
geologists tell us are among the
largest in the world. These de-1
posits are at present occupying the
attention of people interested in
rniiru" antimony. A number of
claims have been staked and re
corded and some development work
is beins done. The price of anti
mony ;s quite high, and has been
since the war began, and, as a re
sult of this, there is likely to be
a good deal of antimony ore
shipped from Wteuton district dur
ing tne coming winter, and thus
a new industry will be established
in Yukon.
nen me war uruie uu^ - >.»>.
price of copper declined so rapidly
that the copper mines at Whiter
horsa could not ship at a profit
and as a result closed down, since
the war began the consumption of
copper has been so great and the
prices have advanced so rapidly that
they are now at a point where the
copper mines at Wliitehorse can
operate at a profit. One or two
of the smaller mines are operating
and shipping ore. The Pueblo mine,
whicn has shipped the largest
amount of ore up to present date,
is likely to begin shipping In the
early spring, and there are other
mines in the Whitehorse belt which
will be able to ship as long as
copper maintains rs present level.
"I-i the Mavo country, the Ait
ken& mine has shipitu over 1,000
tons of silver ore, and it is gen
erally understood that there are
at least another 1,000 tons in sight,
with good prospects of the ore con
tinuing with depth. The opening of
this mine has given a great impetus
to prospecting in the Upiper Stewart,
•with the result that a number of
prospects are now having more or
less done on them, and new finds
have been made within the last
six months.
'•We have had Dr. Cairnes at the
head of a geological and topo
graphical party in the Yukon all
summer. He made a survey of the
antimony fields at Wheaton and is
now in the Upper Stewart making
a survey of the silver properties
near Mayo. When he has finished
this we shall have a geological
inap at both these districts with a
topographical map, aud with these
two -my prospector of intelligence
may find out where to go and where
not to go iu looking tor the precious
meta's. Owing to the financial de
pression, we had some difficulty in
iccuiiuj a geological party for this
year, but we insisted on the neces
sity of having t'atse two surveys
made.
"The conservative party always
has realized the importance of
transmutation. it was the conser
vative party that first conceived and
finally carried to completion the
CaiiiidiiUl Pacific railway, giving
ccutuiuous transportation facilities
from the Atlantic to tho Pacific
ocean. We always have followed
the policy of developing our trans
portation, and iu the Yukon the Yu

IT must be confessed that even as
office boys go Bonfortunato Tag
liatela was by 110 means of en
gaging personality. He was abort
for bis fourteen years, and a tousled
mop of hair bung low over his eyes,
with which be squinted horribly.
So ill favored was the boy that he
moved easy going John Oakley to pro
testations of disgust
"By George!" be said to Freddy Fur
uival. "That office boy of yours Is a
freak. >Iay 1 ask what on earth in
duced you to hire hlni?"
"You may." Freddy replied. "The
sole consideration was that he's a
member of the Benveuuto Cellini cir
cle of the Tasso Settlement on Mott
street, at which your sister Mary is a
worker."
"Quite so." Oakley commented. "But
where's the conuecllonY"
••Spoken like a brother:" said Fred
dy "I suppose you don't know Mary
Is awfully down ou me and calls me
one of the idle rich."
"1 do know It." Oakley replied.
"Last night at dinner she said you
were only playing at practicing law."
"I'reeisely." said Furuival, "and Tay
lor shall be the moans of disillusioning
her. He is uuder strict injunction to
inform her. first, what a large and
lucrative practice I'm acquiring, and.
secoud./how by precept aud example
I'm making a man out of him."
tie felt in his pockets for some ciga
rettes aud found none there.
"Taylor!" he called. And when Tag
Uatela appeared iu response he threw
the lad a quarter. "Get some ciga
rettes," he said, "the kiud we're both
partial to."
"You don't mean to say you feed him
cigarettes?" said Oakley when the boy
had gone.
"Not 1!" Furuival answered. "He
helps himself lo em. together with
what small change 1 may have, out of
-.lie iwkct of my office coat, when I'm
jot here. Ln. t week he developed a
new trick. I found uiy library dwin
dling volume by volume, lie sells 'em
:it a book shop ou Ann street. I fol
lowed him there last Thursday, and
arranged to have him paid a quarter
apiece for reports and thirty cents for
digests. Very decent fellow, the pro
prietor. He turns em back to me at a
nickel profit—and there you are."
"By Jove! What won't a fellow do
when he's In love?" Oakley ejacu
lated.
"You're quite right." said Freddy,
"but there are compensations. I've in
vited myself over to the Beuvenuto
Cellini circle tonight, as Taylor's guest,
aud Mary will be there. Ilere he is
uow." he broke off suddenly. "Greet
ings, Taylor!"
The stunted youth entered, and. grln
uiug sheepishly, deposited a package
of cigarettes ou the desk, from which
Freddy took It.
"Cigarettes used to come teu iu a
bos." he said, as he opened the pack
age, "but—ha. as I thought, there are
only nine here! The trusts again, Oak
ley—you cau't beat 'em!"
The Tasso settlement ou Mott street
accomplished two results, neither of
which was Important from the stand
point of sociology. Imprimis, It pro
vided Hector Ginhouliac, its founder
aud head worker, with a living, and,
secondly, it catered to a laudable aud
charming taste for "social service" in
various wealthy young spinsters. One
of these Hector had marked for his
own.
I» uui Uliil-ia imic VJ"UC i lull UU, ut:
declared --to himself nud laid siege to
the heart of Mary Oakley.
To that serious person there could be
no comparison between Ginhouliac, the
Milanese of French extraction, and
Freddy FurnivnL only heir at law of
Furnival's dry soap and magic cleaner.
Freddy's perennial flippancy served but
to Irritate Mary, who was nothing If
not earnest of purpose, while the
suave and polished Ginhouliac appeal
ed strongly to her sense of dignity.
True, Gilhouliac had no money and
even made melancholy jest of his pov
erty to Mary.
"But you are rich in your life work,"
she would say.
Ginhouliac would answer with a re
signed smile. Induced, no doubt, by the
aptness of Mary's observation. He
would, indeed, be rich If ids plans ma
tured as he hoped. Moreover, he sin
cerely admired Mary. Her face was
lovely rather than beautiful.
In most men her glance might well
provoke a sense of their own unworthi
ness, but in Ginhouliac It aroused only
self congratulation. The proposition
seemed delightfully easy, save for one
obstacle—namely, the cost of a suitable
engagement ring—and this difficulty to
a person of Hector's ingenuity might
be readily overcome.

house on the Tuesday In question. In

Mary's company, Gliihoullnc felt no
restraint Ho greeted Miss Oakley ef
fusively and acknowledged the Intro
duction to Freddy with an obeisance
that blended graco and dignity In Just
the right proportion.
"Assuredly," thought Freddy, "this Is
something to be kicked."
"How d'ye do?" he said aloud. "Cold,
Isn't It?"
Glnhoullac agreed that It was "canld"
and asked If Miss Oakley was to have
the pleasure of demonstrating the set
tlement work to Mr. Furnlval.
"Not exactly," Mary replied. "I met
him by chance on the way over from
the subway. He's here as a guest of
one of the clubs."
"The Benvenuto Cellini circle," Fred
dy broke In.
"Ah, so!" said Ulnboullac. "You pro
nounce the Italian good."
"At the invitation of my friend Bon
fortuuato Tagllatela," said Freddy,
enunciating all the liquid syllables with
practiced ease.
"Too baddal" Glnhoullac murmured.
"Too baddal"
"He isn't sick, is he?" Mary asked
sympathetically.
"Notta seek," said Glnhoullac, "A-oh,
notta seek. I should to be seek. He
take from my desk six of my cigars,
and I find him smoking them in my
office."
"I'm sorry to hear it," Freddy com
mented.
"It Is no matter," Glnhoullac replied,
with a smile and a shrug. "I keek him
down to the street corner. He notta
come back, 1 promise you!"
"Then Mr. Furnlval is deprived of
his host," said Mary.
"Notta so, notta so!" Glnhoullac
broke in hurriedly. "Mine shall be the
pleasure to act as host" He turned to
Furnlval. "And to show you how it
is we uplift the poor foreign boy," he
said, with a line sweep - of bis soft,
white hand.
Freddy smiled at the involuntary hu
mor of the head worker's phrase.
"Not with the foot" Glnhoullac hast
ened to add, "like that unfortunate
Tagllatela. Bad manners we condone
here, but dishonesty must be treated
—must be treated, ah"—
"Summarily," Mary helped out
Glnhoullac smiled bis thanks, with a
dazzling show of regular, white teeth.
„ "Just so," he murmured. "My Eng
lish Is a little difficult at times, but
with Mees Oukley to help me, I be
comes like—how shall 1 say it—like
another Shckspeer-a!"
At the compliment a faint shade of
pink came over Mary's pale features,
not unnoticed by Freddy, whose men
tal attitude at the time might well have
been translated by a low whistle. For
the rest of tin* evening he watched Miss
