Most of the freighting is done by dog teams. From Fort Yukon to Circle City, a distance of eighty miles, freight costs 15 cents per pound. From Circle City to the mines, seventy miles distant, in winter, 15 cents per pound, and in summer 45 cents per pound. Firewood delivered costs $10 per cord; a deer skin canoe, $5; moose skin gloves, $2.50, and moc- per pair. A suit has been filed by the guardian of Daniel Mosby, an insane man, against Matthew T. Gisborn for the recovery of an interest in the Geyser casins, $2.50 mine, which Gisborn claims he purchased from Mosby. G. A. Duncan of Malden, Mass., has also tendered the company $65,000, which he claims is the balance due on an option taken by him for $75,000. The Geyser people allege that the option expired long ago, the terms of the agreement never having been fulfilled by the intending purchasers. The Hale & Norcress mine is still closed down, owing to the refusal of the miners to work under Superintendent Tangerman. As noted last week, Tangerman was escorted out of Virginia City by a delegation of miners, who took him out of a barbers chair while he was being shaved, and the Reno Journal says he was the first man on record in Nevada that got half of his face shaved in Virginia and the other half in Reno on the same day, and altogether it was a very close shave. W. F. Barbee, one of the pioneer mimen of found dead in was ning Utah, his tent in the Blue Bell mining district on March 24th. He came to Utah over twenty-fiv- e years ago, and made and lost several fortunes, being in straitened circumstances at the time of his death. In the early days he operated in the Tintio and Ophir districts, having sold the Silveropolis, located in the latter district, for $27,000. He is credited with the discovery of the silver-bearin- mous g fa- sandstone reef in Washington county, and sold his interests there for $75,000. At the time of his death he was prospecting for E.
