Morrissey, ex-Alderman of — this city, which appeared in two of the daily papers of this city on Sat- urday Jast. Ordinarily IT pay lit- tle attention to communications of this kind, but in view of the fact that Mr. Morrissey is an ex- alderman of the city and that he has gone to the trouble of a care- fully prepared statement whieh he himself states is an effort at a truthful exposition of the situa- tion, I think it well that the pub- lic should be Mr. Morrissey is, because I think that we may take il for granted that there will be a large number of similar communications ap- pearing from time to time be- tween now and January next, I shali deal with Mr, Morris- sey’s statements seriatim, quot- ing each item as set out by him and replying thereto. “No, 1.—Remodelling the in- side laying out of the city hall and installing an electric bell system cost unknown), say $100.” The actual eost of this work was $168.70 and was carried out in order to bring the Mayor in closer touch with each depart- ment.

Now, I did not see any gold weighed up, but I saw a one pound baking powder tin half filled with gold from one day’s work with two men shovel- ing in. One outfit has the sluice boxes that we had here, and it is those boxes that the two hundred ounces were shoveled into in two days by two men. “Now about this place for a big camp.

William McLennan, writing from the Chisana camp under gold, and they may pay big. One is rich, all right. It leads against a mountain of porphyry. “Don’t encourage anyone, to come in here, as the mountains are staked and nothing is left to siake but the glacier. I feel a bit «ore at myself, but it’s all over, I guess. If I can’t land a lay, I will hit new fields as soon as I can, and will be in Dawson within a month. “There is lots of claim jump- ing and some gun plays, but no shooting as yet. Dud McKinney put a man off his ground at the gun’s muzzle, so I am told. “Now, as I have said, in my opinion there is one creek that is rich here, with a narrow pay streak, and will be worked out in a couple of years. I give this as my opinion only.
