It is only necessary lo slat,* fm- tla> information of tliu general public ihnt to successfully nuik,-' llu* journey two things are essential -an active hoi-si*iiutl a gooil temper, And it isa mutter of sincere regret thai. Ihe gen. tlemeii of tbe provincial legislature tVpo SO cheerfully voted for the bur* t'otviiig of the large sum to lm devoted towards erecting mora comfortable quarters ill wliieli tn carry on tin* weighty affairs of the country, could not first have been obliged to ride over the trail (say) three times from Boss- hart's cabin 'ti the Snowshne claim before determining upon the advisability of saddling the prflyinee wilhadelit for a practically non-i'ssenliiil work, where money could have been spent with a so much greater advantage to the country in other ways, Who can suy how long the development, nf the Boundary creek mines lias been retarded by the failure of tlie puaviucial govei'iiuieiit to recognize a fact, lib* vimis in itself, ihal, before I owns can grow, Ihe country must he. built up, and, however fertile the country or i-ii-li io the i-esoui't'i's of nature, until good roads ntnl highways enable llie settler or prospector to make use of Ihese natural advantages, progress is impossible. Although the government have built ns nu excellent main trunk mad through tlie district, It is now I hue that steps should he taken loap- propl'inle funds for llie purpose we have itdvocali'd on severa! occasions, the building of well-graded roudways to the principal camps, and we trust these appropriations will appeal- iu the very next, estimates. Especially is a good load needed to Greenwood ciijnp, where pet-haps lie the largest deposits of copper-gold ore iu lhe world. It cannot now lm long before Ihis fact is recognized. One of tlie most, note- wot thy claims is the ptt-uiwinder, located mi the ilrd of August, 1891, by Messes. Atwood und Scliofleld. The claim has since bad un interesting history, On lbe liii-d of July iti the following vein1 Mr. Atwood sold bis interest to his partner for $100—nil Iti- significant enough sum, now lhe value of the property is beginning to be discovered. In 181)2 Mr. Denzler bought a half interest in the claim, and when Mr. Scholield sold mil in the beginning of Ibis year to Messrs. Farrell and Midgeon for $5,000, he valued Ilis share ns woftb $10,000. This sum was later offered by Air. Smith, agent for the purchasers of Mr. Srhnfiejd's interest on a bond; a cash stun of $1,000 having been given at. Ihe time of the transaction, and Hie balance to lie paid in three equal installments, extending over a period of t welve mouths. Simp the transfer to Messrs. Farrell and Midgeon, active work has been ill progress, upon which n large number of men have been employed, Shafts are being sunk at different points on the ledge, and we understand a thorough assay lest is to he liinde, The main shaft is down some fifty feel and lhe showing at thu foot is excellent. The assessment work of the former owners proved the ore body In lie sixty fee'-, wide, with a well-defined foot wall. Sainpleiissays which were made for thein gave as high as $1X1 in gold and eight pel- cent, ill copper j Imt from nil accounts the ore gains in rich* nees wilh depth. It is impossible to give nt tbe present lime it mine detailed account of the progress of the work, due to Ihi' fact that Messrs. Fiiri'ell and Midgeon prefer thut (he ; matter should not he discussed, nud I refused to give any Information, Another claim a little further up illii'trail is lbe Snowshoe, located by |Mr, W. A. McDonald on ihe I8thof April, 1808, who sold to Mr. T. Mi-Dun* aid iu the following vein- for a .small sum. Later Mr. Robert Denzler purchased a third Interest, Aft "I- seeing the immense, size of (lle ore body, which, thanks to the energy anil hard | work of the proprietors, is for a considerable distance exposed IO view, on the Snowshoe, one can have little doubt of the future destiny of lhe [claim'; und us Mi-. Denzler aptly re* : marked when such a view was expressed to bill], lbe Snowshoe has all thu "earmarks" In show thut il will one day be a great producing mine. Al the present lime two parallel ledges bnve been discovered, and five cross, cuts bnve been inn, tun (in lhe upper ledge and three on Ihu lower. The upper ledge tines iinl appeal' lo be 11101*6 Iiiiii] 30 feet witle, but on the lower, incredible ns it may appear,'although a crosscut across the vein has been made for a hundred feel, lhe further wall bus not yet been found. At lbe bottom of the crosscuts can be seen for the euthe length lhe well- uiiiieialized ore matter, copper and iron pyrites, currying gold. Before reaching the ore a calcinaceims cupping must he removed, which, however, is very much easier to work through Ihiiii the iron cup, whicli is so coin* inoiily found covering mineral veins In the dish-Id, Mr. Denz'er wus good enough to tuke um- representative tn lhe shaft, where lbe porphyry walls can Im seen well defined, taking ll punfiill of dirt ft'oin a jailing ledgeof probably decomposed rock, be washed il. in lbe water lying nt llie fool of the shaft*, and when tne superfluous dill. luui been removed, at the bottom of the pan wus gold enough to cover a twenty-five cent piece. Assays from different places in the claim huve been made nn several occasions with Ihe result showing fi om $11 to $00 in gold und nbout, 8 per cent, iu copper, The pro* prielors of lhe Snowshoe huve already done enough work to entitle them to a crown grant, and no doubt this will he shortly applied for. Meanwhile lhey are steadily developing the property, which promises to lie one of the best ill the camp. »♦< Unlucky Prospectors. Three men have been steadily employed fol' the past few weeks running drifts und tunneling on the right bank uf Boundary creek, a little morn than half a uiilefi'oui Midway, witli the expectation of finding pay gravel iienr the bed lock. From the excellent colors that were obtained, lhey lind every reason to believe that liy sinking in a spot wliieli was at one lime the creek bed, gold would be found in paying quantities, Three tunnels, nne of which is twelve feel long, wen run, but il. was found lhat Ihe gravel do- pnsit wns so small (but wages could nnl be made by working il. Tlie fuel, nf the,mutter is that the ground was thoroughly worked nuny yeui's ago, during lhe excitement nt Rock creek, nnd what wns lefl by the white ininers wns taken by lhe Chinese later. One ol lbe pui'ly, however, is not yet satisfied lhat llie summer's labor bus been useless, nnd while his partners have abandoned the cluim, he still intends In try what further perseverance will bring. One hears a good deal of lhe happy and free lifeof the prospector,of his perfect Independence and ol his often sudden leap into fortune, but tbe other side of lbe picture is nol so fieipienlly given — the hardships, Ihe tedious tramps through difficult country, tbe disappointment of unsuccessful search, Ihese lire things rarely considered, in llie life of a prospector there ure some prizes, but more blanks. Taking the present instance ns n case iu poiul, lhe men started iu tlie early spring from Mull- I lua, Ibey prospected unsuccessfully hi Granite Creek, lhe Siniilkameen andTtilameen nnil Ibey were iu ibe Okanagan, till finally lhey found themselves In this district, Not only is their small capital expended, llie proceeds of several month's hard work in the Montana mines, hut after undergoing hardships mid difficulties worthy of African explorers, lhey return with absolutely bottling to show for all.this expenditure of energy und lime, und wilh Ihe dreui-y prospect of Imitig again obliged to seek employment before they can tempt fortune in another verdure, •*•■♦ ■ A Farmers' National Con/rresH. The provincial government has been Invited to send delegates to the Farmers' National congress, which meets ul Atlanta, Georgia, from October 10 to HI Inclusive, The congress is composed of farmer delegates appointed by the various slates of the union, the provinces of ihe Dominion, Mexico nnd South and Cent rat American coiiul lies. Ii is held this vein-in connection with the Cul Ion Stales and Iutci'iiuliniutl exhibition ut Atlanta, The aim lias been lo make Ihe congress pan-Anieri- can iu character, and the Invitations to lhe various countries have lieen so generally accepted und the delegates appointed nre of such calibre that it is predicted thul it will 'k' the ablest eg* riciillurnl conference ever held in America. Al lhe last annual meeting nearly 2,1X10 delegates were In attend* mice, nnd il. is u body thoroughly non* parlizan in character, the object being tu discuss in the widest sense the agricultural interests nf the/ooutliieiit, The provincial government will ask the agricultural associations to nominate delegates to represent British Columbia at the congress, _. , . 4 S,miller lit 'I mil laiiiillii<*. P. Aug. Heinze has returned tn Butte fnnn trail Creek, where he went lo pass upon the site for the new .smelling plgnt The location selected is ,-it Trail landing. The brick and stone work of the plant has already been let lo Spokane contractors, who will at once commence their purl of the work and push it to completion as rapidly as possible. The road between Rosslaud and the smeller will tie rebuilt and put in condition for hauling heavy loads. It will be built from Ibe Crown Point mine, down Tiger creek lo a point where it. intersects Hie Trail and Ross- lunil wagon road, n distance of twu und a half miles. In ihe meantime arrangements, will lm made to construct a tramway, which will no doubt lie completed before snow falls, by whicli lime Mr. Heinze is of the opinion that llle plant | will lie Increased to a capacity of at least 'M Ions. The present contract culls for the necessary ninrhtnery to treat 100 Ions per day, and as this amount bus already been contracted for, the concern will ben paying proposition froth lhe first.

EDITORIAL NOTES. Intekw.ivbn with ibe trivialities ol p letter, un excerpt of which we published iu .nit' Insl issue from a ci'ia-ea- upudenl writing from Grand Forks who anonymously signed linn* fteif "A Miner," a question was raised nf some Importance. Ought a miner Jo be compelled lo take out n license? The answer should (ic dependent upon what is infant by the lai an miner, li js certainly (ui Imposition that, un ni-ti- sun should be taxed for bis skill, or n .workman tor bis ability in Ihe use of .certain tools\ und regarded from ihis alandpoint it is obviously not right Unit ii miner rjpmltl be obliged lo pay license fees any more than a faiui- bibori'i- should. On the nl her hand the miner's license itives lbe owner a rigid In prospect, for mineral, to locate ground, and is practically a lux on property lie mny thus acquire. If a fnnn discovers two or more claims he lairs luxes lo tlie unioiml of $10 on his first local Ion ($o I'm- his license and $5 fur the recording of llu claim and the iisssessineut iviirk); for nny other liii-u- llnn he mny make, bis liability to the government Is for the latter charges puly. if tlie cluiins, as would sup* I tisedly be the case, mv likely to prove /if value, tlie luxes cnnntil lie considered immoderately high, The prospector, however, should lint be requiicd In juke out his license until he hatl actually' been.ne api-.iprielor.

Mr. Torrence, whose sudden death was recently announced, was a mining expert widely and favorably known iu this distriet. it will be remembered that lie paid n couple uf visilsof inspection to Camp Fairview, Boundary creek and Harris creek last summer.

Once again the htippiekers are busily enraged harvesting ihe golden fruit of lhe vim: upon tlie Furl of Aberdeen's Coldstream estate, gathering having commenced on Monday last. The harvest, it is understood, will be bountiful and a large number of pickers will lie required to gather il iu. This year, owing to the not very high price of Imps, pickers will only lie paid at the rale ot 75 cents per box, instead of $1 as foi-inerly, At Ihis price it is questionable whether a sufficient number of laborers call he hired to gather tbe crop iu good season. One circumstance, hflH'ever, favors I he large growers and that is that many of the smaller growers will not be in competition in the labor market, owing lo having lost their crops lhrough the devastation of their yards tbe disease which lasl spring attacked the plants, totally destroying thein.

A Happy Event. On Saturday Hm7lli insl., (I. Simius, a well-known and iiiucli-rospocLodnicin- ber of Vernon society and a trusted servant of -lie Hudson's Hay company, was united ininairiage to Annie, the youngest daughter of Mr. J.

M. Campbell having been elected to lhe position of and the honor of being the first president, began his duties by drawing Ibe attention of those present to the order recently issued by the deputy commissioner of lands and works, Mr, Gore, re llie payment of certain arrears due lhe government valley has been a success, and should hold out an inducement to others lo follow the worthy nnd profitable ex" an pie sel them. The fact that a few reverses have boon experienced by small growers owing, it may be, to having imported diseased vines from On ifoi'iiin, or lo the selection of unsuitable localities fur the constitution of ihe planls, is nn reason why others should not embark in what may confidently be louked upon as a profitable industry when carried on unilcr favorable circumstances The Coldstream Orchard. To Ihose desirous of obtaining accurate information all lo the Capabilities of the Okanagan asa fruit-growing country, a home object lesson may be gulped by taking the trouble to inspect, the flourishing young orchard ou the Coldstream estate, within live miles of Vernon, where may he seen trees planted some three or four years ago, many of which are hearing for the first time. Several tons nf apples will he gathered Ibis fall, showing what may he expected iu a few years tocoiue when from this and other like orchards much, of the fruit destined tu be consumed by the great Northwest will be gathered. A careful study of market requirements, combined with a close attention to the method of packing aud placing the fruit before the customer, should crown the efforts of the fruit grower witli success in the future, The scorching that the Victoria hotel suffered from the recent tire which destroyed Mr. Mcgaw's buildings in Vermin, lias given the owner of the hotel a pretext for the thorough reuo. valinii uf this Hue building as far as exterior appearances are concerned, and workmen are now busy at work on the building. A fine new building Is being erected upon the site occupied by lhe barber shop recently destroyed hy lire, for Mr. Purler Watson, The new structure Is the outcome of a spontaneous public geiicrosiiy, $r*l)0 having lieen subscribed for the purpose hyMr, Watson's old time and well tried friends.

MINING .VOTES, Mr. Neil, agent for Mr. Finch, left fol' Spokane on Friday. Mr. Patterson is working away steadily on the Roderick Dim. To every one's surprise the bigger ledge of the two un the claim, looked upon as hardly worth developing, is turning out iiiicninonly well. The deputy state assayer of Okaini- gan county, Wash., is in Boundary, anil il is an open secret that he lias made several purchases of milling property up the creek, a public announcement of which will no doubt, tic made shortlp, Mr.Cole,uniiiagerof the List Chance mine, left, on Tuesday last for Spokane to arrange wilh his principals for the settlement of some difficulties which had arisen iu connection with the operating of Hit- development of the properly. There can be no doubt lhat the apparent misunderstanding will be easily explained. Mr. Wells, the mining expert, whose favorable opinion of the country, and particularly of Greenwood, has already been stated, left Ihe camp some little time ago but returned uu Friday's stage wilh Mr. Woodhoiise of Tacoma, whn also belongs lo the profession of mining engineering. Il, is more than probable lhat the result of this second visiFwill la* lhe sale of several properties. Messrs.

McArlhur and Shmviitpiest determined could he traced lhe Jewel ledge. The work was by no means plea-,ml, bailing; the water out uf the shaft with a bucket, being not only slow but irksome. After sinking for about len feel, they managed to strike the vein as lhey had anticipated. The clahn, known as the Oro Grande, piioiuises to be one of (he best in the group. A number of men have been working for Mime lime at Rock creek, sinking u shift 11 tip tha hi.l ruck. U.id-ji' the supervision of Mr. Young, lhe foreman, great progress has been niii.de, and lliere is a reasonable hope, of a return for lbe labor and capital expended being realized now Very shortly The shaft is down 2(1 feet and a large water wheel has been put ill position, which is said to lie a very admirable piece of work. The wheel supplies all the power for pumping water and drawing up dirt from the shaft, Two pumps are constantly employed. The ditch is 1,11X1 feet long, besides 200 feel. of II ing. H will thus be seen that. no lime has been lost, this summer in I he prosecution of an enterprise which undoubtedly deserves success. MINERAL ACT, 1891. Certificate of Improvcmenta* NOTIOIil.
