In llii--. tbe gold Is nol sn coarse, yet it is in sufficient qualities to warrant most hopeful anticipations, Although these two locations caused much excitement- llie final coup wits made when Mr. 0. Thomet located, the Bonanza, a stmlh-wesi extension of Ihe Gold Drop, nn the lib of .May, the vein of the Bonanza being four feet wide, und traceable nearly the entire length of the claim, It is not unreasonable to expect, when this promising neighborhood, of the new locations bus heen thoroughly prospected, und the number of prospectors now on tiie scene warrants the assumption that this will In- consummated at. no distant date, that other claims of equal evident value ns those discovered by -Messrs. Bossljart and Dittmer, und Thomet wiil lie brought to light, The large number of good claims that have been recorded alrea'dy Ihis summer confirms our oft*ex*pressed opinion that the Boundary creek dis* trict still remains one of tlie best fields fnr tlie prospector to be found in Brl isb Columbia, I'li-TY MILLIONS OF (1(11.1).

The world is apparently about to see again a production of gnld equal to thai which made C'lllfornin the center of attraction for several years. Reports made by reliable English experts of llu1 South African gold mines conlirni lbe earlier reports, wliieli were received with wonder and Incredulity.

With the prospect, in the near future pf the throwing open of theOplville Indian Reservation to white settle- piont ou the part of the I'liiled States Government, a question thai hitherto lias not commanded more than nursory interest, now becomes of paramount importance, and a question that demands Immediates,ttet|tlqn In prevent, perhaps, siiritius ai|d difficult cqtflpllcft- tilins at a litter date. We refer to the Inadequate and f-u|hy markings of the International boundary line, ■Suppositiously, the line js marked by permanent iiiiiiiiiineiils iu the sl)i|pe of stone pyramids, at regular inte|-.yiils of about a mile apart; this, hq-ruvpr, is pot the case, partly because at the time of the survey t|ie ciuintry was considered t(| be practically valueless; partly on apcfllin(i of its ruggedness and the inequality of the ground; and, again, part|y d|ie to the fact that two separate surveys of the line were made, which did pot agree; and when the boundary was definitely determined, the monuments marking these disputed lines were not removed, nor others to mark the true location put in (heir place. Thus, in many instances, a distance of ten miles intervenes between monument and PWWment. Since the days of lbe survey many and important cliaugus hjive taken place, ^'hu country can nq longer be regarded us a tract of waste nnd valueless land. The discovery of rich mineral deposits has attracted, and will continue to attract, a growing population of all classes—the agriculturalist, the prospector, the mechanic, the merchant, and the capitalist, Not only is property of every description liecoming p,f value, but the discovery of mineral p,ear the boundary line jends a special lyorth to the timber, the land, and the water rights in that vicinity. The necessity, therefore, for the placing nf unmistakable and indisputable indications of the exact Ipca,-. (inn of the international Imflnflaw Jine is urgent; not. only th^t the British subject may be assured that he is residing on British sijjli hut to prevent possible annoying and expensive litigation in the future. We trust that, the authorities will not allow the prospect (if a slight expenditure to hinder the immediate commencement of this most pecessary work. »-♦-< A USEFUL AM UNDENT. We have every reason tobe.Iieye that clause II of Land Act Aii\('.iii\!ni'ut Act will meet with universal coinaiendation. Jt provides that settlers o.p land east of the Cascade range may, upon application, purchase uiisurveyed and qntilln* hie land adjoining homestended properties. "The settler is thus enabled to acquire the. permanent right to tin I'.'inge or pimtni-e land, adjoining Ids property; aii(| this, owing to the fact that, the number uf cattle is yearly increasing on the hills, and, therefore, feed scarce, will, ere |n.qg, prove invaluable to the stock-raiser. No particular procedure is provided, by the Laud Act to lie followed by thoso desirous to avail themselves of the privileges of lbe Amendment, than which is supplied hy the printed forms Ihnt are issued for the purpose, The ntuepd* metit doesiawaj' witli all the vexatious preliminary delays whicli were experienced under l^uold sysletn, ami allows the settler to. <i.liti\in his Crown Grant im his purchase, wjllpn six months of pis application, ■ 1,4 NECESSITY KOIl I'H(»|I>'V ACTION.

Coryell's ranch at Grand Prairie, -and intends to cultivate it next, spring. ft is satisfactory to note that the ronds between Penticton and Grand Forks have so greatly improved thnt the mail contractor, Mr, Miller, is now ■enabled to complete the journey in two /days. Mr. J. Coryell has completed a magnificent map of the local mining district which will shortly be ready for .sale. To those vyjho are as yet unacquainted villi our ore bodies this authenticated guide to the camps will prove a gnu.il. boon; while to those who ^ire on the spot it will also lie of value. Thanks to competition, the rates on |the (!. P. R. steamer Aberdeen have lieen considerably reduced. The •steamer Fairview, owned by the Okanogan Transportation Co,, is now running tri-weekly to Kelowna, while on Mondays'and Fridays she makes the ontll'e journey of the lake to Pentictou. Judging from the blossoms on the limited number of fruit trees about Midway, there are few localities in llriiish Columbia better adapted for fhe cultivation of the hardier varieties ,if fruit trees than this district, We would, therefore, urge upon our farm* jers the advisability in view uf the excellent market that could always be lObtained for any kind of fruit at the mines, of paying more attention to this lucrative branch of agriculture. A few days ago one of our subscribers was good enough to notify us of the change in the address of a fellow Subscriber to this paper. We heartily /appreciate this attention. At the same time we must beg that those who are subscribers to Thb Advance, and who may be leaving the location to which f|ie paper had been erstwhile sent, will communicate the fact to the publishers, thereby enabling them to change the address in the mailing hook. If this suggestion is followed much annoyance may lie saved, Under the instructions of Mr. Leon. •ird Norris, Assistant Commissioner of Lands and Works, tlie rocky load bed cut by Vaseaux Lake is to be improved at once. Mr. Burnyeat, of Vernon, is now on the scene taking levels, jitter which 700 cubic feetof gravel will lie placed ou tbe rough portion of the road. Mi. Norris'action is highlycoin- mendable, and will be greatly appreciated, both by passengers passing over the road, as also by tbe teamster, to whom the Vaseaux Lake road cut has always been a bugliear.

There are four open cuts on Mr. Oor* liett's iilaini, the Oro Dlnero, Summit camp, in all of which ore appears, Mr. R. Christie located an east extension qf the Advance, Skylark camp, last week, the new find being called the Mountain View. The Butte claim, Wellington camp, was located May 10 by Mr, Geo. Cook, This claim adjoins the Oro (late Wellington) and has a vein 8 feet in width. Mr, Peterson located the Gold Dust claim, aboul, one mile north of the Golden Eagle on May 8. On the same (late Mr. S. Beiierman Iqcated the Silent Friend, adjoining the Gold Dust (jqli) Drop camp, Mr. G. B. McAuley has returned to Spokane.

In the Gold Drop camp there are now twenty-five prospectors busily at work searching for indications. Twelve new locations have been made within the last few days. Mr. E. P. Suydam, and Mr, D. A. Holbrook left Boundary Falls on Saturday tn inspect, a location of theirs made quite recently in Copper camp. The name has not transpired. Mr. W. C. Adams went up to the Skylark camp on Tuesday with Mr, J. Winters, who has obtained the contract to sink 50 feet on the Cordlck claim, Summit camp, where work will be commenced at once, Mr. Thomet recorded on Saturday the Lake View claim, and also the North Star, which he located on the 10th inst. The North Star is a frac. tion between the Gold Drop und Golden Eagle mineral claims, 350 feet wide. Mr. C. Thomet is at present engaged doing assessment work on the Elkhoru, Providence camp. The ledge on this claim is showing up to more advantage 113 the work proceeds, and Mr. Thomet may flatter himself on its promising appearance. The Lake View claim was located May 1, on Blue Grouse mountain, north of Gold Drop camp, and on the west side of Long lake, by Mr. 0. L. Thomet and Mr. R. Dickman. There- is a two-foot vein, and like the other claims in the vicinity, it is rich in free gold. Mr, James Ross, who recently came from Renfrew, Ont„ is making great progress, in conjunction with Messrs, Turley and Rankin, in the sinking of a shaft at the first crossing of Rock creek. Mr. Ross hopes, after sinking through the quick sand, to tap an aid channel, in whicli it. is expected gold will be found in large quantities. Mr. S. Benerman returned from the scone of the new gold strike liy I,nng lake on Thursday, and reports that a great number ot prospectors are camped there, staking off much valuable property.

Three goals were obtained by the single men in twenty-eight, four ami ten minutes respectively, the first two being scored by Goldsmith, and the third was kicked lhrough by Tommy Vickers. The team intend practicing steadily with a view to getting up a match with sow? other team jn the near future, probably for the 24th of May, when there-ire to be sojne other sports, but t)ie programme js not yet completed. Bear are plentiful this season iu this section, and a large brown one was shot by Louis Brent last week on eight mile creek. Wolves are on the increase ou the west side of the lake, but no one hunts them, the bounty being so small it does not pay the hunter to do so. Messrs. Collins k Holman are working hard getting the ground ready for their tobacco plants. The seed has come up and is doing finely, and the growers have every confidence in obtaining a good crop. Mr. Holman has secured some fine Havana seed, and predicts the quality will he Iirsl. class. Mr, Gran's, of Nlcnlfl, was down last week and took away about two hundred head of cattle purchased for him some two months ago in the valley by Ned Wood. CABIIIOO MINE, CAMP M'KINNBV, Alioat to Pan Into tlio HiiikU of tho Ilutto & IliiHtoii Company, Although we are not ill possession of full particulars relative to the recent transaction which lias taken place between Ihe two companys, enough is known, however, to warrant the statement that this now famous mine is about, to puss into other hands, Preparations are being made to immediately prosecute work on a much more, extensiye scale than formerly, the ground being already broken for a shaft to be sunk on the ledge to a depth of 200 feet. The new company, which is represented hy Colonel Doyle, the gentleman who so far has been successful in consummating the deal, is bringing in a quantity of new machinery, which is now on its way between Vynneta, Wash., apd the camp, having come from tlie pceur d'Alene coun- t/.*y, and consists of two boilers, an engine, hoisting works, etc, The position of tlie new shaft on the ledge is to the east of the old one, being close to the dividing line lietwcen the Cariboo and Amelia claims, both of which belong to the same property, The Cariboo company has proven this ground to a depth of 80 feet, and the length of their tunnel on the ledge is some 800 feet. The sinking of the present shaft to a depth of 200 feet, should everything remain favorable, well establish the fact of this being one of the richest gold properties on the American continent. In future issues more detailed accounts will be given relative to this interesting and profitable mine. >-♦-.—'— PROVINCIAL NEWS. A paper is about to be started at Ashcroft under the direction of Mr. Thorpe, formerly of the Loomiston Journal. The first trial of distance telephone in this province proved very sneceseful last week, when an opera, the " Pirates of Penzance," played in New- Westminster, was distinctly heard liy an audience in Whatcom, a distance of about sixty miles. Mr, Wm. Postill, who is very well known in this district, has disposed of the major part of his ranch in the Mission valley to his brother, Mr. A. Postill. His intention now is to remove to Alberta, where he will give his attention to tlie raising of horses. Thanks to the energy and enterprise of the people of Mission, and particularly to that of Messrs. A. Postill and Christien, a co-operative telephonic system is about to be instituted between Mission and Vernon. Preliminary arrangements have been satisfactorily settled; and the scheme has been received with enthusiasm by all lo whom it lias been submitted. The Vernon News reports in its last issue the occurrence of a painful accident, resulting in the loss to Mr. George Tronson of his thumb. Mr. Tronson, while endeavoring to cut out a horse on tlie commonage, after lassooing the animal, managed lo get his thumb caught between the lariat, and the saddle horn, as the robe tightened, with the consequence that, the member wns severed aliuust as cleanly as if done with n knife, at I he second joint.

Ajiulj AllVAVKIirrpT, ns* A Review of the Litigation Connected Willi the McArthur-Forrert Pro- t*i*sN for Saving Gold. At Ihe present time, while the production of gold is very large, tlieie appears to lie a gooif pt-osnecf thai the present large outpnl of the p'riic/nus metal will he aiill further increased, In most articles a large production in one purl of the world generally has the effect (if causing a falling off In other 'countries. But the extraordinary yield of the gold Holds in South Africa -—which this yeai it is expected will reach il value nf §50,000,000—seenw tn have stimulated the search for the nii'tul iii other quarters nf tin- globe. Western Australia and British Guiana are both steadily increasing theii out. put uinl there is good reason to believe liuii the auriferous deposits' In the rivers and creeks of British Columbia ivill this year yield such results as will betoken something like .a ra'iiru of the .-'golden days" of Cariboo* Por miners und prospectors will nol hesutisll ii withgalnlug the gold which lies I a i< 1 - ilcn in the vast deposits of gravel along the banks of the streams, They 'will exploit- tlio roofs inni ledges which are known in (ix'lsl In the mountain which'coyersuch '1 large area of ilu- Interior nf British Coluinlilii, nml the statements of geologists ami oxplora* lions already utadobyprospectorihave demonstrated beyond the possibility of doubt tlmt the gold bearing Btratu arc there,und Hint ilm capital and labor which may be expended ou thein will reap a rich reward, Tilt: CHEAPENING OK Till: PBOCESS nl EXTRACTION, Within the last few years groat advances liayc been made in tlie manner |n which gold ores are treated ami, as a result, many ores which in the past it whs found unprofitable to wurk, on account of the impossibility of extract ing the gold at a reasonable enst, can bow he treated so as tn attain that result. Among the processes which have achieved this desirable nud Important end, probably the must successful has been that, known as tlm McArthur- Fm-resl process, tbo patent fur which is owned by tlie- Cassel Cold Extracting Company; Limited, uf Glasgow, This is what is known as the cyanide of potassium process and i.s used on an extensive scale ill treating the m-es of -South Africa, a very large amount of 'capital lieing invested iu the plants for carrying on the operations. Recently other parties have attempted tn treat ores liy a somewhat similar method and litigation has ensued. As llie cyanide of potassium process appears to be one which must be used in many cases in British Columbia If a large proportion of the oies here are lo lie worked at . aprottt, n brief review of the circumstance and of tlie position which the Cassel Cold Ext.rai.ting Company liow occupies, as the result, nf llie re cent decisions in the English courts, may be of much interest to many pf our readers. THE DECISION OP THE COURT. The patent for the process invented by Messrs, Mi-Arthur and Forrest, and which now bears their name, was granted in November, 1888, a provisional patent having been obtained in October, 1SS7. Since the process obtained the reputation and success which it has done, other parlies have attempted to dispute tho validity nf the patent nn various grounds, among them being a company known ns the Cyanide Cold Recovery Syndicate, Limited, which lias a process in which cyanide of potassium formed nn important basis in conjunction witli certain treatment of the ores by electricity. The Cassel Gold Extracting Company commenced suit against the Gold Recovery Syndicate for alleged infringement of their process, but .Mr. Justice Homer gave a decision adverse to thein and the Cassel Coiupuny appealed from it. Recently, as brietly stated ill these columns on receipt of a cablegram, tlie Court nf Appeal dismissed the appeal from the decision of Mr. Justice Bonier. Now that the full details of the decision of the Court of Appeal have been received by mail, il appears that though nominally against the Onssel Company, the latter decision practically contlrms the validity of the patenl und will allow lbe plaintiffs amending the specilionlinn sn as to secure to themselves the benefits Ami fights which tiiey claimed belonged to Ihem as the result of their patent'. The decision rendered by ibe Courl pf Appeal may be thus summarized '< Dii' defendants denied any Infringement of lbe MoArthiii'-Forrost palont, nml asserted that ibe latter was nni hovel un Ihe ground thai the discovery its claimed contained neither n novelty nor an invention, and further, thai there was prior anticipation, The defendants (lid lint deny, bnwever, the utility of Hie plaintiffs' Invention, A.-; regards Infringement, tho defendants ai lirst strenunusly Insisted that their patent, which was said to be an In. fiingemeiit of that of ibe plaintiffs, wns'for extracting gold from ils ores by the means of the conjoint operation of electricity and cyanide of pnt-| ussiuni, electrieily being a material part of their invention. When, however, their witness, Mr. Haiiaiid.'was being examined mid they were challenged lo refer to Independent experiments nod trial ns to whether I he electricity as used was not in reality a jnvlh, thev refused lo do so, and ad* j....inline |..ii.ii[. miu |imiu nils, tbeiefor -. dbposed of, Till: i, BSTION ni' .N.i.V.l.TV. On ibe matter nf novelty, it was shown thnt eiuini n chemists knew thai gold iviis-n1 iblebycyanldeof potassium when in i illic state, just asiiijiiii regis won il dissolve gold. But iiccnrding tn the evidence nf Professors Roscoe, Dewar, and Crooks it was proved that it was nol known before the discovery nf Mr. Me Art bur was made, Ibal cyanide of potassium could be used in gelling gold nnl nf ores, The difficulty, which has been overcome by ilie MeArthui' Inventions, is Ihal of extracting gold am! silver from their ores am! leaving Ihe baser metals undissolved, The success commercially of ihe process was demonstrated by ihe statistics furnished by Professor Austin, of iii" Mint,showing that in I893sonieo00,000ouucesuf gold were extracted liy thesu patents and snid in England, which, otherwise, would have been lost, Tin- judges in their decision said I bul ilu- evidence nl the defendants wus wail, iu ibe extreme, no evidence being given In show thut they could do whal they claimed, Sir Ricbat'd Webslerpul tho case for ihe Cassel Gold Extruding Company sn clearly thai thu so-called Inventions made prior to those nt Mr, McArlhur, and also those since, were shown lo have merely a nominal ami nni a commercial value, I was proved that any Invention using strong solutions of cyanide nf potassium were valueless, weak solutions being only of use, and ibe patent for weak solutions undoubtedly belonged In ibe McArthut'-ForesI process, as also I hul fm- tbe precipitation of tho gold nnd silver from solution by moans qf zinc shavings, The Lords Justices of Appeal stated thai the McArthur-Fprrest patents were both novel ami meritorious. The reasons why the appeal was dismissed were lima staled by the Lords Justices: (To be concluded next week.) 1* e . The Dlacovory oi'nn Antidote I'm- Snake Poison. Tlie soul hern Interior of British Columbia is fortunately very exempt from venomous reptiles. Willi ibe exception of the rattle snake ii Is doubtful whether other species belonging lu the dangerous class are in be met with. The "rulller" is commonly regnt'ded iWitli little respect by thepeople who Inive dwell long In Ilm country, although the name frequently inspires the new comer wilh terror, It is, indeed, nn common occurrence to hear of casualties, tho result of snakes' bites; at the snme time, until the reptile is exterminated, ihe possibility exists, The alleged discovery, therefore, uf a most certain ami testlid antidote ill llle United Slates, will no doubt be of service and of interest to out- readers: The Iirsl thing to be done is tu tie a string rn* a hniidki reliief as tightly as possible between the wound and Ibe heart, whenever practicable. Next, cut deeply into the punctures made by the fangs, so ns to cause Ihe blood to flow freely, Suck lbe blood from the wnimil -a proceeding perfectly harm. less, inasmuch a- the poison does nn harm when taken internally. Then carefully loosen ibe ligature so as to admit a small quantity of fresh blond to the member, in order that mnrlilica- linn may not ensue. .Small doses nf whisky may now he given at frequent intervals. If Ihe patient bus to wait for the arrival nf a doctor, this ie the time to try all means to produce pro. fuse pel-spiral ion. The physician will administer extract of |abori|ndl fur a sudorific ami diuretic, and will administer hypodermic Injections uf 16 tn 20 minims uf liquid strychnia every 20 minutes until slight spasms appear. Alcohol has long held the Iirsl. place in popular esteem as an antidote for snake poison, In truth it i.-: not such at all, though useful tn sustain ihe vitality of lbe person bitten against the attack made upon il. by the tnxic agent, it stimulates the nerve centres and the action uf lbe heart, if taken in small doses. Uut lbe mistake ordinarily ppide is to pour into the patient large quantities uf whisky, the effect of which is exactly opposite (if that required, Iu such great doses alcohol depresses Instead of stimulates lbe vital functions, Intoxication, far from helping the cure, aids the poison, Ami, by llle way, people have ufli.n died from snakebite who wete bitten nlieiidend di'ultk, Binoltlng ut iti-voi-ioLi-, The report thai was in circulation snme little li itgn ilial negotiations were in progress for lbe lease of the lievelslnke smeller In parties iu lie States proves to have linen true, The property is leased io a syndicate or firm in Chicago, but nothing more than the hare fuel is known nl presenl. Who Ihe parlies are anil what Ibey propose to do towards utilizing ibe smeller for its legitimate purposes, will doubtless soon appear, The necessarily dally quantity of ore. wliieli is fifty Inns, can without doubt bu secured, and the smeller kepi in continuous operation after it is mice blown ill. We see passing Ihrnugb Hevelslol<e every day large quantities of ore of various grades, the larger portion lining the wet or silver-lead ores, fui'the reduction nf which tlijs smeller was especially designed. And the engines have power enough to run another Stuck of equal capacity, mqk. ing a reduction of 1(10 tons of ore.— Konleiuiv Mail. v- Importers and Manufacturers of All Kinds of tFXfTt^ITXrTtm, d5-6m VERNON, B.
