They had provided all the- fringes,
such as “long, long time ago; people
now all dend; I, ane, only one who
know, ete.” A man of means looking
fur adventure and out door life, fell
far the story as presented to him in
Prince Rupert. An agent was sent to
the interior to arrange’ with the In-
dans to guide them’ to the lost mine.
‘The Indians were ready to go, but all
nf a sudden a grub stake with promises
of money if, they found the mine dld
not seem good -enotgh, “At the last
minute. aud after all arrangements
had been made, the Indians presented
a written demand for cash in advanee,
Right then, the deal was dead, altho-
ugh the Indisns were given another
chinee to ge through with the original
deal, But the Indians got lust in the
