Mining Record. •Supplies on the Sfickeen-Teslin Trail.LIVER COMPLAINT.Those responsible for the circulation of the reports, this early spring,respecting the passibility of the Stickeen-. Teslin trail, are guilty of the unjustifiable booming of that route,which was d-scribed as prc-emiuently the' best for summer travel to the Yukon goid-centres, have a great deal to answer for, and it is a matter of regret that a Victoria newspaper whose editor, too, :: .temporarily served as a director a of a Klond};ke transportation company, misrepresented-though through ignorance and without malicious intent, we are willing to admit—the facts ' concerning this trail in such an uncalled for manner. • Some blame, moreover, it appears, attached to the Provincial Government officials for the present deplorable condition of the Teslin trail, kb from what we can ’ learn, the Targe*, ppropriation granted for its construction from the river, at Telegraph creek to Teslin lake, was utterly wasted, the contractors most scandalously scamping the work, arid yet receiving payment in full to the extent of the grant., Mr. Dennis, a member of Messrs. McKenzie A Mann’s Engineering Corps, recently returned from this section of the country, states emphatically that the trail from Glenora to Teslin, instead of being an open way over a priaric oountrv, ia nothing but an Indian-trail over mountains,“I have great faith, in Burdock Blood Bitters for Livr*r Complaint and Constipation, as it cured me. I consider there is nothing equal to it.” Mrs. WM. JOHNSON, Balmoral, Man. 'Friendly Advice.Sir James Winter, premier of Newfoundland, had a short interview, with Hon.
