Said to Be Living Among Indians on Muddy River.-Mining Party Returns.
----
The report that Simon Gun-a-Noot, the Indian murderer, is living among the Indians on the Muddy river, about one hundred miles east of the Dease river, was brought to the city yesterday by a party who have been spending the season developing a hydraulic mining property for the Boulder Creek Mining Company in Cassiar.
In the party were one of the owners; Lord Beauclerc, Warburton Pike, W. A. Casey and H. P. O'Farrell. Lord Beauclerc left immediately left immediately for the east.
The mine is located about four hundred miles from the coast and they made the trip by canoe and pack train. The past season has been quite successful and twenty-five men were employed.
More prospectors have been in the Dease lake and Cassiar this season than during any season since the Cassiar excitement. Many were attracted by the reports made at the close of last season of rich placers being found on the Nehana river. Although no finds of great importance were made the explorers said there was much good ground for prospecting, and it is expected that many will go in next year. With more trails it is anticipated that considerable prospecting will be carried on in this district.
