Victoria, B.C. The wealth of the new
Gold Fields at Atlin Lake is practically
afforded in three ounces of the beautiful
flaky dust exhibited today at Lake Bennett
and Klondike Company's office. It bears
the inscription: "Washed up by W.H.F.
Olive from three surface shovefuls on Pine^
Creek, B.C. Th^ee ounces in five minutes.'1
This is an account published, in a B.C.
Newspaper, It may be true, but we doubt
it very much. We have had too much demon
strative proof of the harmonious blending
of "facts" emanating from the Canadian
officials & their coadjutors, the B.C,
Press, Still there may be some little
truth in it - but noj it won’t go: "Three
ounces in five minutes," is too good.
Among the new arrivals to Eagle City this
week are: Mr. W.H. Smith of San Francisco,
G.F. Hall of Seattle, & Mr. J.E. West.
These gentlemen have both money & bra ns,
and finding that, in Canadian Territory
they had to endure so much tender mercy from
the’ officials, that had they stayed in Daw
son any longer they would have been ostra
cised very soon from anything they had.
They have every faith in Eagle City and its
future and are sanguine as to the ultimate
development of good quartz properties here,
which will insure the permanence of this
Camp.
