LETTER FROM DAWSON OITY.

| Unfair Administration of Mining

Laws—High Prices.

lhe following extracts are from a letter ined at Dawson City on January 1st, 1900, written by Daniel McKenzie, son of Murdeeh McKensie, of Elliott’s Station. (hey will be read with interest by his many friends onthe Island. Mr. Mc- Kerzie isa much-travelled young map having spent anumber of yearsio the Western States and Massachusetts. He also lived for three veara inthe Transvaal sod bore arms during the Jamesoa raid From the standpoiat of 8 man who has bad experience in both, his reference to the mining laws of the Yukon and those sho administer them throws a strong sid- l\ght on the manner in which the Depart- ment of the Ioterior has abused the trust committed to their keeping. He says : —

“I think Bastern Canada must now be rid of a large number of their political thieves judging by the number they sent out here to run this Territory. Tbe fact of the matter is the government that eent them cannot be much better than themeelves. I do wish that when the British are through fighting the Boers they will come out and settle some of the rascals we have here. The mining laws of the Tranevaal were never worse, nor British subjeets more unfairly treated bere than they are here under this purist goveroment of ours.

‘“Uniese you havs » pull with the officials, and the pull usually means money, you are not in ta all. If youe‘ake a claim that is thovght to be promising some of the ctficials friends are sure to be after it and you are sure to be humbugged atthe re- cord ing office until eventually you are told your claim has been recorded by eome other party. So you see the poor miner is often made the victim of those who ought to be his protectors.

“Even the rivers are leased to peta ef the government, and in many cases the drift- wood has to be bought at extortinate prices from men who have no more legal right to it than thoee they sell it to.

“Tf you had your cattle out here there would be money im them, I saw one milech cow sold here last spring for elever huedred doliars. 1 know you will find this hard to believe, but is 1@ true. The firet eggs that came io here last spring eold for eighteen dollars per dozen, and potatoes one dollar per pound. So you see it costes eomething to get fat here.

Mail and Empire: It is not Ladysmith alone that is waiting to be relieved by Buller’s troops, but the whole British world. nce the gallant garrisom is freed, the outcry against the chief officer commavding in Natal will cease, snd everybody will feel better.

Hamilton Hera!d: The vice of dranken- ness is checked by the growing tendeney of emplcyers to refuse employment te men who drink. Perhaps the vice ef gambling can test be checked in the same way.

Divine Will, Mary, widow of the late Thomas Feehan. Deceneed had led
