Indians, Chinamen, and Japanese are principally employed in the work. The Indians come here from the Skeena River, Queen Charlotte Islands, Kitamaat, and Pt. Simpson to work during the summer. Numerous hotels however prove a great and sad disadvantage often robbing them not only of their hard earned money, by their manhood also. Rev. Mr. Freeman, Meth.
