We would rather believe it the work of some reckless or thoughtless Individuals. If wilfully set out the penalty fur such a crime brought home to any one should be extremely severe. .i. DISTRICT NOTES. There was a good clean-up on the Cariboo mine, Camp McKinney, last week. Mr. II. ytjttouili'igb, of Rook creek, is in Victoria on business connected with the Haynes estate, Messrs. Duncan anil James Hardy, brothers of Mr. T.,1. Hardy, of Boundary Falls, came to Hrniid Prall'io lust week from Chicago Tbe latter bias purchased an interest in Mr, Hardy's ranch in Grand Prairie aud ivill a.,!!,■ in tho country. .Mia ('. VI. Wilson, Ua' Spokane ink ing expert, is expected in shortly to examine the Boundary creek ores. The latest assay by .Mia Glbbs of unpicked ore taken from Ibe Stemwluder shaft,'at a depth of 25 feet, ran $139,10 in gold, Eighty lens of concentrates from Camp McKinney are being shipped lo Tacoma via Penticton, The teams are travelling via Sidley's and Osoyoos through the,Sin!,a;, .Alia (leo, Rumbergcr lias made a new location I'li'il of Hie Knob Hill. The character of the ore appears lo be the same as Ihe real, in Greenwood and Ibe surface showing Is big. .Mia King, of Hie Cariboo Mining Company, is making the necessary ar- 1'ungoin.eiits. for working ibe hydraulic claim on Rock creek. .Mr. McKinuoy will, we bear, be foreman, Mr. Atwood is prospecting the Oro for Mr. James Douglas, and lie open surface cuts discbaa' what may yel, turn out to be ;•, fine vein of oro, ai least present indications point to such a resull. Mr. Ncbnlield, who is doing assessment work on Hie Number Seven, in Atwood's eaiii]), is taking out good, pre near the old shaft, A new shaft is also being sunk on tbe claim on a three- foot vein, The ore is galena currying gold and silver, The miners in the district feel vory sore over the road work being stopped. As one gentleman pul it, " lo have the cup placed to your lips and then rudely dashed away, just as you are about to drink fo tbe health, wealth, ami prosperity of the country is loo much,even for a hardy miner used to all kiwi-; of disappointment to bear." On the summit of Boundary Mountain, a mile and half north "f tbe old Dewdnoy trail (between the Skylark ami While's camp) Mr. W, T, Smith has a promising claim called the Lookout, which he located last May. The ledge is three feel, iu width ami carries free gold on Ibe surface, which I urns Into sulphurate deeper down. Two I.V foqt shafts have been sunk on it. 'ibe ore samples $20. The through waggon road over Boundary mountain, though uncompleted, is finished within a quarter of a mile of the Helen and Capital Prize, (he two comparatively recent strikes which were bonded by Mr. Sudani, Tbe ore is rich enough to ho shipped nnil probably will be Ibis fall. The ledge has been exposed ou the surface for 1,300 feet. Tin'Helen is owned by Synionds aud Wallace, and the Capital Prize by Humphrey and Lind, Work was re-commonced on Monday on the Nonsuch, in Smith's camp, a few men lining pul on to deepen the shaft. A test of the oro from this claim was made in Spokane lately, which proved it to be a free-milling proposition, iiinty per cent of the gold being saveable by amalgamation, .Mr. Smith reports that Messrs, J. A, Pinch and Louis Vernon, representing Hie Everett Smelting Company, will be in shortly to examine this and oilier properties, Wo are informed that the project is entertained among several strong mining men to erect a smelting plant ou the Columbia river, somewhere north of Northport, but on tbe Canadian side of the line, where the orps of the Nelson, Slocan, Trail creek und Boundary creek districts could be handled together, The idea is that the lai ter ores, containing a largo percentage of copper, could be used in tlie reduction of the former, llieie not being siifllci- ent variety in the Slocan and Nelson ores, or those of the Trail creek district alone, The Trail creek ores, also, we understand, do not contain sufficient copper lo matte themselves, If such an enterprise wore undertaken, how- over, nros from this district would of necessity have to he shipped via the Slates m bond, there being no through road or means of communication of any kind, outside of one trail, on Ihe British side hetwoen the east end of tho district and tho Columbia river. Just at the presenl n review of some old lime experiences may nol be out of place, with reference to the greal difficulties that some mining men labored under a few yoars since, and are still working under, ton lesser degree, even at, this laic day, in tholr endeavor to develop the hidden mineral wealth of tbo province. In this respect some of the experiences of Mr, James Douglas, one of the foremost, if not the. foremost of mining men in theloworOkun- ag.in, furnish a striking example, This geutloman, in the fall uf 1887, located In Camp McKinney the Eureka mineral claim, and the Douglas Mining Company, in tbe face of all the difficulties they then bad to contend with, Bel about to develop the property, It will he readily understood how severe was tbo strain upon the energy of the Individuals and upon their purse si rings us well, when il is mentioned Ibal everything consumed had tu bo packed into the country on pack animals, which meant a large amount of labor and added to the cost of articles consumed to such an extont Ihal they were three thn,os the present prices, Vidua Ibid Ibal ibe work on Ibis mine consists of il shaft sunk to tho depth ol' 152 feel. Aattt depth of 8fl feel, a cross-col was [run 85 feet south across H- formation, ami a drift in a wi si, rh lirection win- iii.',', a, the ledge ai the level of 115 Fi ; .}] ia trije ore, the ledge being six I.-.. ■■ ' Vi various other depth ■ ia, ,',-, tji run,and drifts iiiadonn :: - ledge until tin' 152-foot level wo reached, when owing to tlie fact that (be mine wns without proper pumping machinery, il was necessarily closed down. Again, when capital was forth- coining for Ibis erection of suitable machinery Ic'lbc working of the mine, they worn handicapped by llu; excessive freight rales charged by the O.P.R, on machinery from Ibe east, which iii. llu1 lime amounted to two nnd a ball times Ibe first cost of the machinery, and the transportation of ibe same from Stannous, in Camp McKinney would augment the cost lo two and a half limes Ihe cost of Ibe plant, ThitSi'to give example, bad the planl co-! $5,000, by the time it would have been landed on ibe ground, il would total lie' Iinndsnmosum uf $17,500. I was, therefore, though! advisable under the circumstances lo allow llu- mine to lie idle until such times when theso mail! las would remedy themselves, li would he well, however, In point on!, 'that the Cariboo, which is on Ibe same ledge, and is being worked at tbe presenl linn', has been demonstrated without doubt to In' a good paying proposition, ami we may Infer thai these other properties, us soon as they puss into other bunds, will not be allowed to lie idle I'i)!'a much longer time, FAIUVIKW NOTES, (From our aval correspondent.)

CORRESPONDENCE, ►— To tlio Editor of Tub Advance: SIR—Would you allow me spare in tho columns of your paper to show to Ilie people of Ihis cunsiliiency ibe way and manner the public uionoya are spent or thrown away. In Ibe lirst place a superintendent was appointed of roads anil bridges fur what is known as the lower country, from Penticton to Cascade Oily. Now il isa well know fact Ihal, thero was already a road from Pcnlictou to Fail'' view (2,'i) miles) and there was ;i small amount of nionoy spent In keep Ibis mail in repair, Such being the ease be could have started lu build ibe road I'ruiii fairview bridge on Ihe Okanagan lu (Iriiiid Prairie, via Citllip McKinney, The fact of the mutter is, all the summer was wasted lasl year fooling around Hog Town, iind nobody I e- lllled. The next thing imdei'lal.cn was to Illl up Viiseux lake. Who ever beard tell of a sanp, man undertaking the responsibility of filling up a body of waier sixty foot deep? Nol even mi the largest railroads would any man wilh linrse sense think of nucha thing, Well Ih the neighborhood of llvo thousand dollars has been thrown Into Ilinl lake, and thai much moro would uol make a ejiod n a, n I as ilx hundred would do inside cutting a'■■ a the same place, Any way, ul llu pn ■-,,] time, ii ivas nc ue i rj to ba' " thai par! of Ihe iv irk dune, I ,1,,';.' hi ncfil ed a few i Dog Town, while hundreds of people i ith aud i us! have still to tl ivel mil ' il. ('. into Washington nnd back again. You will remember that the Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works w.as having a littio nulla a, and Ih,' people that In; met made it appear to him thai the road to Camp McKinne; would be bettor nndur way, so he mad,' u splurge and they started the road fur Cum]) McKinney, A very short linn after snow conim meed lo lly a."-1 i| froze up of course, [load worn 1, ! lo slop, Winter nearly passed the Intendeiil wnssentdown through the country to locate a route over Bound ury mountain, when fourfeet of snow wore on the summit, A good time In locate n road, you will say, Well, when ho wn I leaving for Vernon I was luld when the snow would bo of'i the summits and bo suid ho would come down, locate the route, and commence work as .-nun nn possible, April, all of May nml ; ar! of rime pa sed mid tho election waa getting dangerously near, Along comes Mr, Venn n with Mr, Sail;.!: .. as bis guide, Tbe route was located and men wore to be pul to work iii six days and a learn waa biui after the tools, Well, the nioi I. nf the tools have uul got hero as yet. i su| - pose they are still on the ro id, Now tho distance from the Okanagan bridge to Camp McKinney in sum ifhing like twenty-four miles, hive niilcn of this was liuii! in 1803, and on the 15th of August this year Iii";' arc Ihreoand one-half miles from Camp McKinney; ll: d is Bixleen and one-half miles biiill from the8th of .May. with a force oi' l'i'iiin twenty in Ihirly-eighl i mn employed on a road Haul could be easily built fur $10!) [ier mile ; thai Is, provided i!. was handled in propi r shape. They, if they gut iii full time, were earning $15 per week, und were paying fur board $0, which leaves $1,50 per day. Of course nn :i will nut do Ihe sumo work for $1,50 per day. With a different man at the helm the road would have bean completed for Ibe twenty thousand by Hie lsl of Si plumber. One of the best men hi the country claims that ibe road could have been built for the amount quite easily. Tbe sumo man has built uver seven j miles uf road nn Boundary creek, equally as difficult u road to build, fur a trifle uver three hundred dollars perl mile, and if Mr. Schubert bad nut disappointed him he could have built the same for at least fifty dollars per mile cheaper. In the first place, tools, steel, powder, fuse and caps did nol come, il might be a good idea lo give Ilie amount of tools the local road foreman on this section was supplied wilh. lie Iiiul to borrow shovels, after waiting leu days, A scraper was bought aud is laying at Osoyoos, and a side-bill plough which baa not appeared as ye . The consequence was a plough had to bo borrowed tho same way with ilia shovels. Two mattocks wore furnished for twenty men working '... thicli tiiulior, where il bad tu be grubbed twelve feel wid", and two men working nt rock work had to borrow steel, powder, fuse and caps, lie was generously supplied with two axes. At the same time this gang hud lu build iliree bridges, besides i lie culverts, 'l be covering of the latter tiro as follows: 10 fee! al Kerr's, ;!! feet Roy's, 70 feel crossing Boundary creek, They are, however, all completed, with the exception of ffiliiig one pier with ruck, If tho man had been told thai none would be sent he would have gol thein elsewhere. He had lo contend with the same drawback with his steel, 1. had lo be packed or hauled live miles in oriler'lo gel b sharpened, and al last be came to the conclusion I hat Mr. Schubert hud resigned Ids position, and he ordered, tools from the smith, By tho tiiim those tools arrived Ilie work was closed down, the reason given for bo doing being thai Ihe money bad all heen i] mil or nil thai bad, bean appropriated for Boundary mountain. Did an;: m ever In ur of n man making an ostium f iweiily miles of road in a country like ibis, and especially where ynu have In raise uver two thousand feel lo gel over a divide? li has not been stated who made Ihis estimate, bul that is something like tho fuel that $1,800 were I'liid [orengineering in order log, ,In distance, li would nol have bei n so bad ii' use of those sin veys had bei n liliido whore il was foasible, bill ii was that much monoy thrown away. A person would naturally wonder whal became of this $20,001 nf un appropriation, A trifle over $1,000 waa spent on Boundary and Fourth of July creek , and thirteen miles of road were built, for the same, Did nineteen miles of road cost $15,000? and if so, why? II would be well to und Tstuiid thai In ih aides of Boundary mountain were treated in the same manner, I think ihal Ibe above facte prove quite clearly the reason fur holding back the work and ul the same lime.keeping buck the country's progress. One reason 1 understand which was given for not starting work at tbo mouth of Rock creek was the superintendent did nol want to buy his supplies from Spokane., Whal ure the poop!" in Ibis country lo do until be eels ibis road completed. His men paid $0 per week for board, while the men on Ihis Mid uf tho work's paid at lein i 20 per lent more for their supplies ;iu,l paid $10 for ii cook per month and each mini paid only $11 per month, Therefore, after deducting SII for board they bad an object in lining a fair day's work, I think that this is sufficient for the present, aud « ill wall for a few weeks to sec if things wid not lake n change. If nol ynu will surely hear I'rnm me again, and I will lay and point mil a tew slick election li inks. Thos, .1. II Mii'v. ■THE PHILOSOPHERS.

DISTRICT NOTES. week from Chicago The latter has purchased an interest in Mr, Hardy's ranch in Grand Prairie aud will settle in tho couulry, Mr. C M. Wilson, the Spokane miti ing expert, is oxpeeted in shortly to examine the Boundary creek ores. The latest assay by Mr, Bibbs of unpicked ure taken from thu Stomwinder shaft,'at a depth of 25 feet, ran $139.<10 in gold, Eighty luiis, of concentrates from Camp McKinney are being shipped to Tacoma via Penticton, Tbe leauiB are travelling via Sidley's and Osoyoos through the States, Mr, (leu, Rumberger bus made a new location east of tlie Knoh Hill, The ebnrnelei of the oro appears to be tho same as the real in Greenwood and the surface showing is big. Mr. King, of the Cariboo Mining Company, is making the necessary arrangements for working the hydraulic claim on Book creek, Mr. McKiuuey will, we hear, be foreman, Mr, Atwood is prospecting the Oro for Mr. James Douglas, and the open surface culs discl.uue what may yet turn out to lie a line vein of ore, at. least present, indicationspoiuttosuch a result. Mr. Seliulb'ld, who is doing aasess- mentwork on Ibe Number Seven, in Atwood's camp, is talking out gootj pro near tlie old shaft. A new shaft is also being sunk on Ibe claim on a three- foot vein. The ui'i! is galena carrying gold and silver, Tbe miners in the district feel very sore over tbe ro,".'! work being stopped. As one gentleman put it, "to have the up placed tu your lipsaud then rudely dashed away, just as you are about to jNol- [ drink In the health, wealth, and prosperity of the country is too inuch,eveu for a hardy miner used to all kinds of disappointment to bear." On tbe summit of Boundary Mountain, a mile and half north uf tbe old Dewdnuy trail (between Ibe Skylark and White's camp) Mr. W, T. Smith bus a promising claim called Ibe Lookout, which he located last May, The ledge is three feel in width and curries free gold on tbe surface, which turns into sulphurate deeper down. Two 15; foot iibafls have been sunk iiii it. Tbe ore samples $20. Tlio through waggon road uver Boundary mountain, though uncompleted, is finished within a quarter of :i mile of the Helen mid Capital Prlsso, Ilie two comparatively recent strikes which were bonded by Mr, Sudani. Tbe ore is rich enough to be shipped and probably will be this fall. Tbe ledge baa been exposed on the surface for 1,801) feel. Tbe Helen is owned by Symonds nnd Wallace, nnd the Capital Prize by Humphrey and Lilid. Work was re-coinmonced on .Monday ou the Nonsuch, in Smith's camp, a few men being put on to deepen the, shaft, A test uf tbe ure from this claim wns made in Spokane lately, whicli proved it to be a free-milling proposition, nlnty per cent of the gold being saveable by amalgamation, Mr. Smith reports that Messrs. J. A, Finch and Louis Vernon, representing Ibe Everett Smelling Company, will be in shortly to examine Ibis and other properties, Wo are informed that, the project is entertained among several strong mining nun to erect a smelting plant ou tbe Columbia river, somewhere north of Northport, but on the. Canadian side of Hie line, where Hie orps of the Nelson, Slocan, Trail creek und Boundary creek districts could be handled together, Tbe idea is that the latter ores, containing a large percentage of copper, could bo used in the reduction of tlie fni'iner, theio nut being sufficient variety in the Slocan iind Nelson ores, or lluise of the Trail creek districl, alone, The Trail crook ores, also, we understand, do not contain sufficient copper lu matte themselves. If such an enterprise were undertaken, bow- evei, tires IVi'iii Ibis district would of necessity have to be shipped via tbe Slales in bond, there being no through road <>r means of communication of any kind, outside uf one trail, on tic.! British side between the east cud of tho districl and tho Columbia river, Thero was a good clean-up on tbo Cariboo mine, Camp McKinney, last week. Mr. II. I'jtt.endrigli, of Rock creek, is in Victoria on business connected with the Haynes estate, Messrs. Duncan and James Hardy, brothers of Mr. T, ,1. Hardy, of Bound- 'try Fulls, came to Grand Prairie last Just at Hie present a review of some old lime experiences may nut be out uf place, wilh reference In the great difficulties thnl somo mining men labored under it few years since, and are still Working under.

In Ibe first place a superintendent was appointed of roads and bridges for what is known as the lower country, from Ponticton to Cascade City, Now ii is n well know fact that thero was already a road from Penticton to Fair view (25) miles) and there was it small amount of money spent to keep this road In repair.
