P, Whitney, a Philadelphia glass iiiaiiufacliirer, who owns the largest interests iu the Oily of Paiis and Ginnhy group uf mines, paid a visit lo Ilie iMiiierGnives' properties at Phoenix, a few days agn and was greatly astonished at the enormous slum ings mid Ilie amount of development done in ili.it group uf mines. Mr. Whitney said : "1 can almost regard myself as one f the pioneer in vestnis in this districl, whose richness was first repreHcnicd to me by Mr. Graves in 181)7, Th" following yenr I paid ii my first visil and wns I hen convinced Ilml the half lunl iml lieen told. This is my thhd trip, as I also can e west iu 18W), One can scarcely credit tlie progress and development of the pasl lliree years. The present site uf Phoenix was a primeval foi est in 181)8, and the mines there were litlle mure than 'prospects.' The Old Ironsides shaft had then only attained a depth of 1(K) feel. Besides the mining bunk house which Mr. Graves had just completed there were only twn oilier buildings, Uuinberger's hnlel and a shack. I was simply overwhelmed wilh amazement when I traversed the enormous slopes, lunnels, galleries and shells of the Knoh Hill, Old Ironsides, Victoria mid Grey Eagle, all of which in e connected. The amount of ore iu siglu is so ureal thai to liegin lo figure ii uut is in become involved in inured ilei" mul hopeless calculations. If one were to submit. 31) per cent, of the esti male, his statement wnuld be regarded as exaggerated and chimerical, Hence I will nut dabble in tlie higher mathematics. Afler visiting the Treadwell mine, and speaking frnm a knowledge nf other greal properties, 1 feel safe ill erling that lhe Granby group has the largest ore reserves of auy mine or mining group nu file continent, •TheGranhy smeller has the must perfect plain I ever inspected. What with self'fluxing ores and labor-saving devices, treal ment charges must lie reduced almost I" a minimum. What especially impressed me was the small nilier <if Hlun employed, considering lhe quantity of ore treated daily. Willi an enlaigid plant. I shall look fnr still better results, because the larger the (mlput nf any plant the greater the economies that can he effected, based on previous experience. N'u mining region in existence has so many advantageous factors to ensure cheapness nf mining and smelting. British Columbia was almost, un known in the eastern slates a few years ago, Imt already a growing interesl in ynnr mineral resources is being displayed. Quite a number nf Phila- delphians have innde investments iu the Boundary, which, of course, is nnl as well known as Oolot ado or California. However, a few years more will bring (he province into pruinineiice." r*. Exploring the Rockies. Field, B. V.. Aug. 2B.-Mr. Whym- per's parly relurned here on the evening of the 23rd frnm a ninnt.h'sexploration of the Yoho valley and contiguous country, A preliminary examination frnm Gaihedral iiioiiiiiain showed thnt a new and easy route up lhe valley could be made by keeping on high ground;;Instead nfai the bottom. This course was adopted and a new trail made on .Inly 3dl.li, the parly deseeding iuln an unexplored and attractive vnlley leading uff the main valley tn I he wesl. The name Upper Yoho is suggested for this. On the Hist two peaks were ascended al the head of Upper Yolio valley and two passes discovered, one a glacier pass leading nciiiss the Emerald group In Field and the olher trending west ward. On August Hid Whymper and Kluckei walked ihrough from Upper Yoho valley to Field in ten hours by the glacier pass and relurned to the camp on August 7th. Ou the 8th they crossed ly the pass frnm Upper Ynlin valley into an entirely new valley, fnr which lhe name nf Verdant valley is suggested, mid got Into Field in 17 hunts from camp via lhe north branch. On the 14th an ascent was made nf the mountain called Insulated peak tn inspect the high motmtaiiis of the VVaputtaelik range. Mount Hahel. sometimes called Hid den Peak, was ascended on Augvjsi 15. Moiuii Collins on the 10th and Trolli derloonthe 21st. The whole of the Emerald gmup Ims I een explored and its principal points ascended, mainly by Hev. ,1. Ou tram, «hn has heen at Inched to the party for the last fort night and has proved a valuable enad jiitnr. On August 22nd in company with the guides he made a new pass from Yoho valley by Lower Row lake loLagganin 12 hours. Thn weal her was bad until ihe end of 'he journey, j hut since llwirit has been Hue, OKANAGAN FRUIT Hal the Preference in the Territories —Report of Inspector R. M. Palmer, Ir, Ii. M. Palmer, fruit Inspector, and ('. P, It. speciai freight rales coin- missiouer, has relurned from n visit to Winnipeg, made fnr I lie purpose uf Investigating market conditions iu Manitoba for B, 0, fruits. in regard tn his iiivestigaiinus inin the transportation of I'i nit, he luis (lis. covered I lint the fees charged un thn ('. P. It. are inure favorable than those iu vogue over lhe United Slales lines. Fruits can be shipped to Winnipeg anil pnints en route for $1 pur hundred weight, while fnun Washington $1.25 is charged, frnm Oregon $1.40, and frnm California $1.1)11. The rales In Calgary are still more favorable ovec the Canadian road, hul. uu American roads tu this point nu reduction is made. The nnly advantage which thu California roads possess over that of Ihe C. P, It. is in the fact thai it luu made ils fruit business a dislincf and separate feature ; but this advantage will not long be enjoyed over iis Canadian rival. The C. P. K. conipnny is not only arranging for an improved sei vice, hul fnr a more frequent one. Icing facilities will be provided, su I hat shippers will be furnished wilh the most modern and improved accommodation, Sn far as the inaikets in the Northwest are concerned, Mr. Palmer re* purls that up till the present they have been poorly supplied ; in lhe first place, e thinks, because of the Strike in San Francisen, and in tlie second because1 of the shortage of the fruit cinps in the F.u-t lasl yenr. mid il, seldom bap pens that there nre two heavy yields 111 succession. Then, um, i lie sprint,' in tlie Easl was backward, nnd this may have lieen responsible for the poor crops, which are not only short in Canada, hul in the eastern and middle slates as well. The result is lhat Winnipeg and other places in Manitoba and the t'prtbwest Territories are looking westward foi' Iheir supplies, and high prices are likely to lie realized These towns are most, eager lo secure tlie output nf the Okanagan country this fall; bin while tliis i.s the case, and these places aro even waiting lo obtain their supplies fnun Ihnt country, Kontenay is alsn iu ihe field, and looking tn the same district fnr fiuit. Ir. will thus lie a question of who pnj.-i most. The Okanagan fruil haiii splendid reputation fur quality, and the packers in the towns nf Vernon and Kelowna are winning for themselves enconiiims for the way the fruit is heingshipped and prepared fnr market. r ta — TWO TOWNS UNITE.
