One must live ia a new country tn fully appreciate, or fully comprehend, the phenomenal changes that may Inwrought within a very limited space of time. In a nighl as it almost seems, where gloomy growths of slunled pines, and ground, lit I ered apparently with masses of immovable and jagged lioiildera were only tu he seen, new towns have sprung up, with stores, olllct* and houses, incomplete an.l unfinished perhaps, hut ready enonu'li to admit uf a very In-isk liusiness being transacted within their walls. The aew towns of Anacenda and ('item, und are remarkable instances of this mushroom giowth, and although neither have attained yet tn the size or dignity of a large city, the probabilities are so strongly in favor of even this consummation within a measurable distance, taking place, that one cannot afford tn he sceptical. The difficulties that have to lie faced aad overcome by the promoters of new towns would he to any but men ot Anglo-Saxon blood insurmountable, but the very air of the west has a vitalizing influence, and develops qualities in men of energy anal enterprise whicli under less favorable circumstances would huve been entirely lacking. This time a year ago neither Greenwood City nor Anaconda had any existence. In fact, it is only within the past few weeks that the marked metamorphosis, so to speak, has occurred. Those who had the opportunity uf seeing the Greenwood tinvnsite last fall invariably remarked; " Well, ne doubt, the situation is admirable, Il is a central spot. Bill, Good Lord, the place is dreary euiiugh to give one the ■lues Mi a monlh, merely to look at it I" It is wonderful what a diffeience the cutting down of those dismal, half- grown pines makes, It seems to let in al once bolli light and air. Noon however captious, could deny now to either of the uew towns a certain picturesqueness, a certain unique charm, due, though, perhaps, to the very incongruity of the surroundings. Tii leave generalities, iiiid come loa mere particular description of the two places: The town of Greenwood is peculiarly happily situated in regard to the mining camps upon which, of i nurse, its future prosperity and existence depends. It is the nearest town teat least five important camps- Greenwood, Long Lake, Providence, Deadwoial and Copper. At their own expense the owners of Greenwood City built last fall and winter a road inlo the Stemwinder in Greenwood camp, which from there on is to be completed by government appropriations. This spring a gang of men hare been building a road connect ing Greenwood wilh Deadwood and Cupper camps. Passing over Ihis road some days ago, a gentleman who had come in wilh a view to Investing heavily in Boundary creek property, remarked; " Well, evidently Greenwood isn't a boom town, or you people wouldn't be spending money at this rate upon road making. This Deadwood road has heen a great, undertaking, as any one must see who passes over it. The in,isl difficult pint, however was at. Ihe Greenwood end, where an immense amount of blasling was necessary. For ahout half a mile up the side of a hill huge boulders and solid rock had lu be removed. The grade is only I) per cent. This road will be a greal boon to people visiting the mines, not lo mention prospectors. All the lips aud downs of the old road leading to Copper are avoided. Two bridges have been built across Boundary creek, and one ill these connects the Deadwood wilh lhe Greenwood camp road. An- olher road lhat is to he built at once is that l" Long Luke. At presenl lhe trail lo lllis eamp is in. a wretched condition, It is, therefore, palpable lhat while the Greenwood Townsite company, have very efficiently contributed to the value of their property by a very ciiiiiineiiilable display of well directed energy, they have al the same iiiiiviii'icil lis public benefactors, for the roads thus built, though leading inlo Greenwood City also connert with the main trunk road, and admit of the ramps lieing visited without the inenn- vriiienee and discomfort of last year hy intending purchasers. In Greenwood City there are now some forty more or less respectable buildings, though sonic hare assumed a shape only descrlhable as fantastic. For Instance, one house has hei'ii built In Iheshiipe ol n leiin-le, wilh tho In tention of milling to it later so as to form a peak-roofed house, meanwhile tho appearance is rather bizarre, Tbe difficulty of obtaining material alone acts as a check in the mauia, for to the outsider it thus appears, to build, aud a contract has, it is understood, been made with the mill for lumber which will take several weeks before it is rut, the purchaser Intending to erect a large hotel and a number of collages of different sizes. At Greeuwood City the following businesses are established already: General store, two assay offices, laundry, mining engineer's office, real estate, restaurant, hotel, blacksmith, carpenter, livery stable, saw aud shingle mill; while a bakery, drug store and furniture store will beslniied shortly. This is a big record for a town of practically a few weeksgrowlb. The spat whereat stood Johnny Lind'scabin, tbe doors of whichever stood hospitably open, is scarcely recognizable now. A large tract has heen cleared on both sides, a gnnd" sized hotel is being built neur the road, a sile is being made ready for a sawmill, with a daily capacity of snme twenty to twenty-live thousand feet of lumber, a number of houses, not to lie seen a few weeks back, peep oul here and there between tbe trees. The pro- proprietors of Anaconda-..an appropriate name, by the way—have seemingly adopted the motto, "feslina lenle"; for while n-l making the rapid progress of Greenwood, Anaconda is as surely and steadily adding lo its size and Importance, The townsite is situated right by the main I rank road, and adjoins Greenwood. Hence it is not an improbable fact, hy any means, that the two places will by the natural growth of both, join and liecome one of the largest cities in British Co- luui bin, ill the course nf time. THE MERCY OF THE BOERS. An issue of the Critic, published in Johannesburg and Pretoria, contains a stun ling statement under the heading nf "A story of Jameson's Column.'' The stiuy is as follows: On Ihe lasl. day of the year (:11st December, 18115) ..lie of Jameson's men, of unknown rani, I ut supposedly au officer, was captured by lhe Boers lo Ihe west of Krugei'mlorp. Afler a protracted struggle, in which several of the Boers were severely handled l.y him, he submit.!.'- and was Ikiiiii.I. The Boers siihuillird him to sundry indignities, kicking and culling him about the face, and took him'wiili them to tlie main laager in charge ..I' PietGrobler, then ailing Held cornel in place of P. Sleenknnip. who was nl sent on duty. A woman iu the camp wus called on to interpret, and asked the Englishman who lle was. lle informed her he was an officer in Jameson's column and the third in command, and a Scotchman. Ou her further asking him for his name, he is said to have replied thai lhey need mil mind his name—he wits a prisoner and they could call him Black, lie then asked for a drink uf water, and some was offered him in a filthy tin lying about, wilh whjcli the children were playing. He could mil drink it, and the woman fetched him some in proper vessel. She begged the Boers to until' him, his wrists had heen nearly cut lo lh. hone with a riem; lhey did sn, and took him to the farm-house, placing two Boer guards uver him, one a notorious ex-convicl. The Englishman shortly afterwards asked leave lo wilk alsiut ou the sloop. This was granted him. After a while he stepped down off il. was at once seizrd and pulled back by the guards, roughly handled, and flung down by I he one; the other raised his rifl.i and struck him ou the back of lhe bead With the bull-end. The Iirsl guard thrust his hand out to ward off the blow, aud got some of bis Angers broken. The Englishman rose to Ilis feet with his head streaming wilh blood, tore open his shirt, and told them to shoot linn there, lhey would find his heart in the right place. The next day he was told that Jameson waa offering J!5 (or news nf one of his officers alive or dead, and ordered to mount a horse, He was led off by several ununited Boers, and as lhe nil* fortunate nam was crossing a kopje a Utile ahead i.f Ihem, three shots were fired, and he rolled olf Ilis horse, dead. A German, living half a mile from the Blaaiiwhiink store, came up later, eov- ered the corpse wilh alowel, and buried it. The Boers returned lo the laager jubilant, and report ed the man dead. ■ ~4.+ THE GENERAL ELECTIONS. Preparatimis are going on at Ottawa for a general election, and both sides aie sending oul campaign lileralure by the ton. Many hold Ihe opinion thai ihe Government will dissolve the House before the 21th. In any event the first week Iu June is (Ixed for the eleclions, LOCATIONS VALID DECISION AGAINST BUBB, THE U. S. INDIAN AGENT. Judge Han ford Docldec lho Reservation Mining Case ll Was Not Necessary 1° Walt for tho Recent Act A Brief Outline of tho Decision. Judge Hanford of the United States court has handed over liis derision iu the famous case of Charles N. Collins v. J. W. Iliibb. The action was brought, to determine lhe right to locale a lode claim within Ihe limils of tlie Ctlvllle Reservation, il lading alleged lhe porlion of lhe reservalion on which Ihe particular lode in quest Ion was located luui been thrown open In locators l.y lhe provisions of an act af congress dated July in, l_!l_ The defendant in the case was al the lime Indian- agent, and ret used In pern.it tlle plnin- liff In enter upon, locate and work the hale in quest ion. A temporary injunction was secured restraining Ihe defendant from interfering with the alleged rights of lhe plaintiff, and a peruianeut Older was asked for, Tlie defendant demurred. anJ lhe decision comes upon the argument on Ihis demurrer, Judge Hanford gave liis decision ns follows: • "First—The law, liy mandatory words in Ihe present tense, annuls the executive order creating tile leseivn* lion as lo snid tract, and lestores lhe same to the public domain, subject only to lhe rights of the Indians lo make .elections nf land to be all..tied to Ihem in severalty: lhe lauds valuable for the mineral contained therein are imi subject io be selected fur allotment, in Severalty lo award to each Indian ngricullur.il land lo be his home, ".Second—For llle purpose of giving lo lh" Indians lhe full benellt of lhe tiglii io select from the whole tract such lands as may be required (oral- liitmciil, settlement upon nud entries nf agricultural land musl lie puslponrd unlit a date in Hie future, to Iw fixed by president's proclamationi hut prospectors and milters' are uol required to wail for Hu. proclamation to ..pru the trad for exploration for minerals, "Upon the general provisions of ihe public laud Inn's of the United Stales individual rights to acquire title In non-mineral lauds can only In-initiated by settlement thereon and improvements to he made, or hy entry; that is, by purchase; but rights lo mine claims are Initiated liy discovery of valuable mineral deposits, lhe mode of appropriating mining laud is described l.y the ivi.id 'localion,'and Ihrough- oat Hie public land laws Ihe words 'selllenient' and 'entry' are used (o describe Hie mode of acquiring noli- mineral lands, and 'exploration,' 'location' and 'purchase' are used to describe the mode of acquiring rights lo mineral claims." He then quotes section illll, United Slates revised statutes, und from lhat and the following section holds that Ihe plaintiff in Ihis case, aud any olher citizen of lhe United Slnles, can go upon the trail in question and prospect for mineral lodes without lhe pro- cluinatli.il of lhe president, The demurrer is overrulril and nn iiijunciiuu granted. -•4 BAD FOR THE MILITIA.

Dominion politics are not a subject uneul which lhe people of this dislrict. wax greatly e nthiisiaslic. This is a more or less deplorable fact, bul its trill bis irrefutable. We are now ou the brink of a general, election, and yet, no sign of awakening inleresi is anywhere apparent among voters iu (liis end of the constituency. It seems rather wid ihal we who enjoy a frail* lliise practically on the basis, one mail, one vote, to gain whicli agitations, not free from bloodshed, have laken place in less favored rniinlrics,-should value so great it boon lo so small a degree. From tbe premises it would nol be unreasonable to conclude 'hat it is a mailer of perfect indifference In the peuple of Ihis district whether such questions as the. admittance of milling machinery free of duty or tadler innil facilities, us instances, are ever determined in a more satisfactory manner. «v What we in lhe Yale-Cariboo district have lo consider is mil so much the patly ns Ihe man in ,'hoosiuga representative at Ottawa, Tlie agricultural interests would undoubtedly Is. seriously injured by free trade, Of Ihis there can lie Utile doubt, but a return of a Liberal member for Lhisdistrict, or for the mailer of Unit there- turn of Ihe Liberal parly to power, does not necessarily imply an immediate reconstruction uf the tariff laws. On lhe contrary, except in a few particulars where it is clearly demonstrated that the reiuoval of duly charges would be generally beneficial, Hie Liberal leaders themselves deny tiie feasibility of free iraue except by a gradual and natural process. Ol' lhe two caudidilt.es now in the Held, .dr. Mara and Mr. Unstuck, Mr. .Mara is an ardent and, blind adherent iii Const-native 'principles. More, he allows his pur|iziinship lo carry him lo lhe length of voting eontrury to his convictions. In voting for the Remedial Hill, a coercive and despotic and despotic measure alined al a sister province, a bill which he had.hitnself denounced, Mr. Minn showed that he did not possess even the courage of his convictions. Is such a liliilla win I by representative of a growing and |MI. port mi t constituency P —♦— Jin. HusTiit'K, nu Ihe olher hand, is au untried mail. His political career is yel to commence. He is a poor canvasser, because he is all hunoralile man and bribery is not lo liis taste, Il is for this very reason lhat he should meet wilh lliesuppofloftheelectorale. -•■ Hut Mr. Mi. Bosloi'it, for an honest man, has been either Indiscreet ur unfortunate in rhu.osllig his associates in tlle political arane,, Through ignorance, il is lo be Imped, he has been so unfortunate us lo aiiach himself to the coal tails of the Hon. Joseph Marlin, » 1st for Winnipeg. We doubt if there is one supporter of lhe Liberal parly in Canada who, in stttrtillgbin son in life's battle, would wish to have him accept Hie Hon. Joe ns an example of hoiiesly, truthfulness, business integrity or political purity. .—+ II'Mr. Bostock desires to retain lhe good opinion of tl who are not lh,. creatures of either political party, he would do well to carefully examine the pasl record of those with wh she intends associating politically, To llie lnilepeudi.nl, elector Liberal principles may not be objectionable, but Willi the Hon. Joseph Marlin ns their exponent they become nauseating. —4 . 4 KETTLE RIVER MINING DIVISION. Record of Mineral Locations for ths Woek Ending April 16. It). Granite Falls, Long Lake camp, J, Sullivan.

Barrett relumed by this week's stage from Vernon. Mr. Barrett, suggested a wise step In lhe far- mem in the north, which if it were acted upon would not only give thein a capital market, hut supply Ihis lower country with farm produce and commodities which now are hardly obtainable for love or money. Mr. Barrett suggested that the Vernon farmers shetlld ciMipernte in building a couple of large ware-houses, one at Ponticton and another at a spot conveniently ■ear the mines, aud that they should keep to many fuur-horse teams constantly on the road with wagons laden with vegetables, Hour fn.ui Ihe Spal- luincheen mills, and even grain. Were this done, the expenses would be more than offset hy the difference between prices here and abuve, (we do not refer to Heaven), The idea, however, did net, so said Mr, Barrett, meet with a wildly enthusiastic reception. In fact, it fell, if the truth must be told, rather flat, So much for the energy uf Canadians.

A very rich pay chute has been struck iu the Cariboo, Camp McKinney. Mr. Roger, a mining experl, is in the camp. It is staled that he is here to complete a yecy important deal. Mr. Hall, representing a Boston syndicate, is at Greenwood, He visited Long Luke camp on Wednesday wilh Otto Dillier as guide. Mr. Bn.phy arrived from Fairview on Sunday week last. He was greatly laken wilh the camp, and predicts great things which, if only half are realized, will mean stirring limes there ere the summer is over. Mr. Turner left willi Mr. Wood for Long Luke camp on Thursday. Mr. Turner likes the appearance of what ore he has seen bi ought down from that .'.imp very much, and it is probable lhat he will invest iu several properties. Tom Walsh, who discovered some of the best prospects in Deadwood ciunp Insl summer, is again in the camp. He and a part tier have been for Ihe past fortnight or more prospecting on Buonaparte inoiiiilaiii and on Myers and Napoleon creeks, but without striking anything won h silking. Then snow is yet on the hills, which, of course, prevents I borough prospecting, Tlie North Star, Long Lake, is more than realizing the expectations of the proprietors, The ledge is not only widening, but the ore appears to be gelling richer, and contains U'qlialltity of free gold. Ou the other hand the Lake View has so far proved rather disappointing, Work, however, is not to be slopped on this account, and there is no saying but what, this plucky policy will have its due reward in the long run. On the 17th inst., before Gold Commissioner Lanibly, Robert. Clark made application for ejectment against E. J Hickey from I he Seattle mineral claim, situated on the North Fork of Kettle river. The plaintiff teslitied that he liad staked Ine claim in June, 18115, In accordance with the Mineral act, nnd llie records and receipts were produced. Evidence was given of the necessary service of summons, Lewis Hind, sworn, testified that be bad examined Ihe slakes and everything was in compliance wilh the requirements of the law. The gold commissioner characterized Hickey's act ion as a deliberate case of claim jumping, and snid Ihnt he would do everything in Ids power to pui a stop to the practice, The application was granted wilh all costs, Au accident from tiie same cause as resulted in the death recently of foil, men in the Center Star mine at RotshiU'l, was very nearly repealed here the other day at the Lake View claim. To warm the giant powder a box had been prepared with a little tray arrangement, to hold the powder, and helicalh a lighted candle. Some glycol inn falling from the powder on lo Ihe flame of the candle, immediately ignited, and an explosion followed. Fortunately there were only seven slicks of powder in Ihe tray atthe time, and the resull of the explosion was not serious, but a full box of p.i.vder was standing nearby, and the men working in tlie tunnel for a few minutes were iu a lerrible slate of suspense. Mining is a dangerous calling in any case, but there is no reason why life should be jeopardized through the want of ordltinrv carefulness, shots were put in on F.-i.lay, which displayed pieces of nle literally splattered with silver sulphurels.

George Guess, will he particularly Interesting iu view of the activity whieh is In-ginning tu he apparent at Fairview: "Fairview mining camp is situated on tlie west side of the Okanagan valley and ahuut twelve miles north of the Uiih parallel, The flisi locations made iu ihis camp were ou veins oc- curriag in a quarlz mica schist Hanked un l.oih sides with giauile. These veins conform Loth iu dip and strike with the schist ami are easily traced for ahout (wo miles, The schist is not wide, seldom exceeding MlXI feel, tail it curie*, a great ntlllllier i.f parallel ipiartz veins. Soiin after Ibe discovery of Ihe camp, a Montreal company lioiighi two claims and a fraction •a this main lend and two olher claims. A large resilience M'u. erected anil a leli-stillsp mill put up, Imt lhey were ne.er utile III Iiiul a pay chute on any of their claims. Since the full of '81 they have prnclically ceased operations. The high price asked for the hetter claims in lhe camp deterred the Montreal company from purchasing, and their failure with Ihose they did purchase has most certainly hurt the camp in many ways, or as lhey say has given il a Mark eye. "The ten-slump mill has however helped In develop other pi open lea in the camp, notably the Morning Star, The owners of Ihis claim have milled nearly H.IXIO tons of ore after paying a big rental for the mill, hauling lhe ure, -pauling il hy hand, und contending with ihe numerous disadvantages of short leases. It lakes good ore to leave any profitH. Nearly nil Ihe ore milled was taken froui lhe large 12- foot ledge. There is a vertical shafl of KXI feel ou this ledge, hut tlle ore milled was iptarried on the surface. Ahout thirty yards from the large ledge there is Ihe smaller, „-fo_t vein This vein has au inclined shaft of 110 feet wilh ilrifls W feet each way at the bottom. The ore here is very rich, running alum! $15 to $20. This claim ii perhaps the banner claim of the camp, although recent work on lhe Sl.eniwiiuItT hna shown a ledge wilh a 8-foot pay streak riiniiiug very high iu gold, There are altogether live veins on the Steinwiniler, varying in widlh frum four to twelve feet.

The ore on nil the claims of thii halt is quarlz with some galena, zinc blend and,Iron pyriles. The con* cell 11 n Ics are about one in eighty, going $11(1 in geld and silver. "The .Ine Dnaily'is an isolated claim, lying also in a quarlz mica schist. From this claim several tons of ore miming $S0 were milled. Tlle ledge is four feet and promises to be a paying property, "Outside Ihe quartz schist belt several claims have been located in the granite, Of Iliose Uu- smuggler, Susie uud lluckhorn are tla- mosl promising, A smelter shipment of three Ions from the Smuggler ran $1»( per Ion, aud seven Ions from the Susie went $60, The ore in these claims is not so well suited loamalgatualii.il as il the ore in the schist area. The ore is quarlz carrying galena, iron and copper pyriles.
