ut of the north in the opinion of these experienced furriers--makes
the muff.

Mr. Renfrew refused to set a value on the furs, but we learn on good
authority that they are insured for five thousand dollars.

There are romantic and tragic associations with these furs. Two of the
pelts have been in the possession of Mr. Renfrew for some time. He
held them on speculation until he could obtain a third to complete the
set.

This one, the finest of the three, was brought out last August by
Ambrose Doane. This was the skin which almost cost John Gaviller his
life, and indirectly induced a rebellion among the Kakisa Indians. All
those who followed the course of the recent trial will remember it.

Upon obtaining the third pelt, Mr. Renfrew sent the three to London to
be dressed and made up. They have just been returned.

A purchaser has already been found for the set. His name is kept
secret, but we are assured that the beautiful furs will remain in this
province.

GAVILLER GOES WITH MINOT & DOANE.

An interesting fact leaked out yesterday when it became known that
Ambrose Doane had made an offer to John Gaviller to take charge of the
new trading-post that Minot & Doane purpose establishing on Great
Buffalo Lake.

Mr. Doane could not be found by the Star reporter. Since the trial he
has spent a good deal of his time dodging reporters. He has a private
room at the Athabasca Club which no representative of the press has yet
succeeded in locating.

John Gaviller was found at the Royal George Hotel. He admitted the
truth of the report, and seemed very pleased by his new prospects.

"It tells its own story, doesn't it?" he said. "I belong to the north.
I have traded up there thirty years, and I will not be any worse trader
for what has happened."

In answer to further questions he only shook his head. "I talked too
much to you fellows the other day," he said. "You caught me at a
disadvantage. Nothing more to say. The arrangements between Ambrose
Doane and me concern nobody but ourselves. I may say, however, that
our relations are of the happiest nature."

THE CULMINATION OF A ROMANCE.

In another column of this paper will be found a notice of the marriage
of Ambrose Doane to Miss Colina Gaviller, which took place a week ago
to-day at the Chapel of the Redeemer on Jarvis Street.
