It waa on September 4lh. 18f#, thai Jolly Jack flrst reached Boundary Greek, having come in through the Similkameen ennntry, Thai fall there were number* of prospectors placering on the, Similkaineen and the Tulameen rivers. Gold had lieen found in the Similkameen Kiver in small quantities by the Sappers and miners engaged in locating the International Bnnmlary line, and their discovery attracted numbers to Ihe river. It wns not until the spring of 1861 though, that Rock Oreek attracted attention and drew the couple of ihon- Hriml miners who ate stated to have worked un it. in that year. Jolly Jack mentions noiliing about gnld having been found on Boundary creek when he Hrsl camped on It. .ho it in likely that no placering was bring done on it then. In 1800 the Columbia River drew placer miners, and Jolly Jack was one of the crowd. Hi- travelled down Ketlle River from Boundary Creek, and I hemic down the Columbia River to Grand Rapids, as one part of it was then called. He thinks there were 4110 nr 500 men placering on this river in the early sixtie*. scattered along the river for many miles. It. was customary to go down river in a boat, Hnd a liar, prospect it, and if it seemed worth while "go a rocking". Flour gold could l>e found at almost any part of the river for some distance down, and therewere ninny liars found. One nf lhe principal liars was the one known as "Jolly Jack's", and the old man .inserts that during two years he and his partners took out from it gold to ihe value nf*»,(W net. This bar, to use the old man's own words, was "a fine bar; easy work, no Ium Idem, no lilting, only steady shovelling. I tike a tine-gold bar and wouldn't change one for a coarse gold bar any time; it pays more regular." He says that he had four partners and with them owned two bars, the second one "a low-wat- er bar. good enough at one time for $25.00 a day to each man." Among his partners were men who had been working with the Royal Engineers under Col. Hawkins nn Ihe Boundary survey, and these brought for the use ot the partnership a number of things that had been used on the survey, Afterwards, when they decide to divide up, they drew lots. Jolly got the big bar, and lhe olhers, respectively, thc other bar, the boat, a chest of carpenter's toolB, etc. At one lime tbey bad at many as 14 men working on Jolly Jack's bar, They paid while men ai the rate of $5.00 a day and Chinamen 48.00, This bar was situate about 14 miles lielow what is known as Marcus, Washington, In 18(11 Jolly .lack went to Wild Horse Creek, in Kast Kootenay Said he "at Hrst the miners called it Stud Horse Creek but Judge Haynes thought that was not a nice name for It so he called it Wild Horse Creek" Jolly did not remain long on Wild Horse, hut. he says he wan foolish nol to go buck loi 1 when he heard that bo many were doing well on it. The gold was coarse, with sonii! good-siied nuggets. Twn he heard of were each aliout.'«! om. and one of these was found by a Chinaman. (Notes—In January 181X1 the B. 0, Mining Record published tin iii-Ncle on the Fort Steele Mlnirig Division written by T. T. McVittie, C. E„ then secretary of the Fort Steele Mining Association, from which the following is taken: "Ur Wild Horse Vt-eek, alsjut Hve miles from Fort Steele, is Ihe old Kootenay placer camp, °"t of whicli millions of dollars in gold dust have lieen taken. Two companies are at present engaged in hydraulic mining, hesldes some . Chinamen. It is a picturesque spot, with its undent buildings, Chinese quarters; and old grave yard i surrounded with piles nf debris, bare' bedrock and high cut banks, showing the immense amount of work tlmt had lieen done in the past, liming """ H"1-' ''"V wlu'" gold could be got In plenty, just, for the digK'»B' Without doulil there is still a large extent, of ground to lie worked over, which will imv well for the trouble." In No, 1 Bulletin issued this year by the Government Bureau of Provincial Information, the following reference Is made In this eamp: " The rniiiniencemenl of mining operations in the East Kootenay dates from 1801, when discoveries of rich alluvial gnld deposits were made on Wild Horse Creek, which joins the Kootenay lllver at Fort Steele. It Is official ly estimated that ordinary claims on two miles of Ihis creek yielded from f20. to 930. to the hand per day. and that from 1804 to 1800 Ave thousand persons were engaged in placer mining in Kast Kontenny. By the close of 1800 the locality was largely abandoned, except by Chinese; hut of late years the old workings have beeu operated hy hydraulic methods,") Jolly Jack ulso had a turn al Find- lay Creek, whieh joins lhe Kootenay River a little south of lhe Source of the Columbia ami near where the Kootenay crosses the present dividing line between the Windermere and Fort Steele Mining Divisions. This creek, however, couldn't be worked easily; it was nearly all "crevleing,' Where it could lie washed, near tbe rim rock, It was very rich I hough. Later he was on Ihe Perry Creek diggings, also In East Kootenay. Then he had a ferry on the Salmon River, where he made some money nut of crossing men on theirway innnd oul of Kast Kootenay, Theie were many Chinamen, and at nne time there was a dis|iosition tn drive Ihem out, hut Judge O'Reilly told the miners that they must nnl abuse them, nnly use any fair means to try to keep them out Whilst on the Little Salmon .lollv had many a talk, sn he says, with Mr. Dewduey. who was in charge of the wnrk of making the Dewduey trail through from Fort. Hop* to Rasl Kootenay. Said lolly "thattrail cost almut 915.001). Mr. Dewduey was a flue man loo. Sometimes he would camp wilh me and then we wnuld have long talks together.". (ExGovemnr Dewdney tells an interesting story «f his experiences iu connection wlih building that trail. After the discovery of the Wild Horse Creek digging*, he says, report* of enormously rich dirt reached the coast and a veritable stampede set in, Goods and supplies were lakeii in from ihe roast and Fort Colville, the latter at the time an old Hncl«ons'liiy trad ing post. The coast merchants became clamorous for the huilding of a l rail so lhat they might secure a fair share f trade, so Governor Seymour sent for Mr pewjney and entrusted to him th* undertaking. He set about it at once, hurrying to Fort Hope, where he found several old tune-expired Royal Engineers. Wilh the assist ance of 18 Indians they packed their supplies across the Hope mouniaius. Near where Princeton is now Ihey found J. F. Allison, then the only white settler in the Similkameen, and having arranged With him fnr saddle and park horses, started blazing the I rail eastwards. Past what is nnw known as Keremeos, thence to Osny. oosLake, nn past Ehnlls. nnw Midway, passing Rock Creek, then a deserted camp except for a few Chinamen, past Grand Prairie, now Grand Forks, and then over the mountain* to the Col umhia River, At. Fort 8heppard they divided their forces, one parly biasing a trail via the Pend Oreille and Salmon Rivers until they reached Kootenay Lake, where the others met them after a trip up the Columbia and Kootenay past whal is now Nelson. Goat Creek was struck and the trail continued via Moyle Lnke to Wild Horse Creek. Win. Fertile who afterwards discovered tbe Crow's Nest coal measures, was given charge nf Ihe wnrk of making the trail west wards In Koot enay Lake and olher patties were placed on different, sections, and such good progress was made that within seven months of the time of leaving Hope the trail was completed nnd const merchants were sending in long packtrains with supplies.) • In 1807 Jolly Jack came in to Boundary Creek on his way to Hope and lhe const. On the creek he found a party of old Cariboo miners —George Hamilton, Bob Hamilton, Cottonwood Smith Johnny Smit, Hnnk Kerns, Joe Kinill. Frank Harvey and twn others whose names he has forgotten, They all went nver the trail together and on reaching Hope bought a large northern canoe in which to go down tho Fraser to New Westminster, The captain of the steamer Ihen plying nn the Fraser heard of their having started iltid h« left orders with his men to look out for them ami if they saw them, take them on hoard and give them a free passage down, At New WestmiiMter Ihey all got work, Jolly going down on the Delta putting up hay, They wintered in Victoria and in the spring of 1880 Jolly relumed over the Hope trail. He spent thai yeurou Boundary Creek, but did not innke anything, so moved nn to the Pend Oreille where be wintered. Then came some excite ment over the Big Bend of the Colunihia, above what is now known ns Revelstoke, so In l he spring of 1800 he was once more off, pulling up lhe Columbia en mute lo French and McCulloch Creeks, which flow into Gnldstream, itself a tributary of the Columbia, ITo bo mnduital mist weok.l Rosa Sentenced to be Hanged. Nkmk-n, II. C, Oct. 7,-At 'lit) tf clock this morning the jury brought in a verdict against Henry Rose for thr murder nf John Cole. He wns sentenced to he hanged at Nelson on November 21 next. The murder look place nenr Nakusp, B. (!., on June 4th la«t. Rose, in company with Nelson Demars, an nld prospector 78 years of age, and Cole, started frnm Nakusp In a row- boat for Rose's ranch, whieh Is situated a few miles Mow Nakusp. The men Were all more or less under Ihe influence nf liquor. Demars claims Rose and Cole started to quarrel soon afler leaving Nakusp, and the lake lieing rough they, rowed ashore, Rose and Cole continued their quarrel, and upon Demars remonstrating, Rose turned on him and hit him nn the head, knocking him unconscious. When Demars rernveied his senses, he saw Cole on his hands and knees and Rose standing over him. Demars started to light a Are and Hose came at him again, struck bim over the face with a club, knocking out one nf the nld man's eyes, and again rendered him insensible. After this Rose wenl. to Nakusp and I old the authorities thnt he had started away in a rownoat to lish, leaving Cole nnd Demars ashore, aa they were quart eling, but hearing cries he returned to shore ns quickly as possible, and found Cole dead and Demars in very had shape. He said Demars told him "Two men came mil. of Ihe woods and clubbed them and ran away," When the authorities arrived at the scene of the murder, Ihey. found that Cole's jaw had lieen broken with a dub, wliieh was found near by. and nther bruises were on the hack of the head and neck, which must have caused almost inslantdeath. At the ti ial, Rose's counsel endeavored to make it appear that Demars committed the murder, but according to the doctor's evidence, from lhe condition in which the old man was found, it would have l-een a physical impossibility for him to do il. Cole was aboutSO years old, and had the reputation of heing very quarrelsome when drinking. .1. A. Macdonald, counsel fur Roje, will take steps to secure a new trial for the prisoner. If this is denied he will endeavor to have the penalty reduced so as to save Rose from the hangman. Mr. Macdonald will more In Ihe matter an soon ss he receives a transcript of the evidence taken in the case. a At Gamp AlcUiuMy. Camp McKinney, Oct. H-Renewed interest is manifested in ramp over the resumption of work on tbe Waterloo mine, uuder the management of Denis Clark uf Spokane. Tbe mine is lieing pumped out in anticipation of the early arrival of Mr. Clark, when it is slated development will lie proseeut ed vigorously. Previous to the prop erly lieing closed down, former superintendent A. W. Boyd opened np s about of ore in the north drift on the 100 fool level. The vein heie is snid to be fully 2. feet wide and was especially remarkable for amount of free gold. The fact chat through some over sight the company failed lo record lbe ilnliii recently, ami thai, ii was r— staked by G, M. Bennett, does not appear lo lltfeulr local shareholders, us Patrick Graham, the iigctil iu the pro- vine-for the company, siateN tlmt every requirement to safeguard tlie title has been complied Willi. On the other hand, Mr, Bennett says: "I l.vl petfectly satisHed with my title to the ground," Asked the reason for relocating the claim, he snid: "The claim had reverted to the clown and was open tn is* local til by any one, and I intend to hold it If I have to light for my tights in all ihe courts." Locally Mr. Bennett's action is believed tn be the result of even'ng lip with former Superintendent A. W, Boyd, who, it is i-laiined, relocated I be Radja claim owned by Bennett, Who is Imcking Bennett is not dcHnitelv known, although It is believed to lie It. Sidley, J. P., a wealthy fanner on Anarchist mountain. However strong hopes are entertained thai, upon Ihe arrival nf Dennis Clarke some arrange* ment will iai effected whereby lhe title to the claim will be rtlisnltitely h-ld liy Ihe Waterloo Consolidated Mining company and all further annoyance in this direction abated. At I be Cariboo mine little is to be learned l-eyond the fact that, there is plenty of ore in sight on laitb the 4110 and 6110loot levels, and thai the 20 stamp mill never goes hungry. The proposed enlargement of the mill, predicted 12 months ago has never materialised, and while it is declared by many in camp Ihal the mine Is capable of supplying double the number of stamps, the' company's directors appear satisfied with whal Is lieing accomplished, lliighie Cameron, who owns the Tenser, adjoining the Cariboo ground, and claims to have tlie Cariboo vein, is jubilant over Ihe discovery of UJ feet of splendid looking and highly mineralised quarts at the laiitoln nf a SHI foot, shaft. He purposes expending a considerable sum during the winter in fully determining the extent and strike uf the vein, in following it lo the Carihoo ground. Mr. Cameron is alao developing the Vernon claim, to the east of the Fontenoy. In the shaft down 80 feet, he has 4J feel, of bluish-white quart t greatly resembling the Waterloo, Recent values range around $17 per ton.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 13. l«U2. The Editor of the Boundary Creek Times, in a late issue nf that Journal remarks that it is difficult lo under stand why Thk Dispatch should take up so much space in denouncing tbe failure of the government to complete the West Pork mad. Our principal aim was not to denounce' lhe government, but lo show that under Ihe present system of carrying on puhlic wot ks it is quite possible through eslrava- gance and blundering mismanagement to expend more money than Is neces- snry on important public works, and yet fail to complete ihem. And since the end of government, is the good of those governed, it is high time for ihe people tn examine a system that fails to bring that end, As is generally known, there are Arts in force in British Columbia re luting to the Incorporation nf Munici paliiies. There aie provisions made for two kinds of municipiitii ies; City or town municipality, and Township or district municipality. These may he incorporated hy the Lieutenant. • Governor in Council upon receiving a petition fnr incorporation from the property owners, and upon various other conditions heing complied with, In the milling districts there are a mini ber of town municipalities, but it wnuld appear no district nr township municipalities; the latter lieing confined, we think, to the more impuions agrirultii rnl districts of the coast. The popular tion of East and West Kootenay and the southern part of Yale district is said lo be about 50,000. Why tbe pen pie outside of the towns have not sought incotpotation perhaps cannot be exactly determined; it is probable however, that a majority of them are interested in mieing directly and in directly, und tbey do not take the same interest in the affairs of government as is taken in the more permanent ag< rlcultural districts. The limits uf municipalities may he extended or reduced, and, a part, of the electors of an existing municipality, may, under certain conditions, withdraw from one municipality and mite with another. The boundaries are not permanent, A great, change has taken place in South ern British Coliiniliia, since the com uiencement uf quarts mining a little nver len years ago. It. may be that our municipal legislation nnd system of governnient generally is not up to date, and does not meet the require menls of tb'J changed conditions. In the early days nf placer mining, when a new discovery, was made it was nee essary for the government to send a person to act. as mining recorder, gnld commissioner, constable and to per form any other duties required of him by the government in a new camp, where enndftions were in an unsettled slate. It may he neressarv to have such an official in a populous common Ity, where law and order are well established, but we have a suspicion that something more is needed. For the last four years, we have had a very unstable government at Victoria, a lot of ordinary men, some of them trying to do the hest they could, hut with au undue proportion of would be leaders, fo man of commanding influence and ability who could gather around him a sufficient number of men to form a strong governnient, has come to the front, Tbis dearth of hniinsand strong men Is very much to be regretted. It has caused much loss to the province in very many ways. In 'he meant hue, during this barren period in nnr legislature, the coulry has heen governed by the Civil servants, who are practically in a large degree responsible to no nne. They are sup posed to be responsible to the heads of the departments whn derive their power from the legislature and people; hut what head of a department has held office long enough to become acquainted with the duties of his office even if he hod the ability, and the inclination to do so? If any change is to he made nnw or hereafter in our mode of government, the initiative must come from the people, it will not cmnefrom government officials, who are wedded quite naturally to the present system. It is the custom for our public men and orators lo boost, of our free British institutions; we have reason to he proud of nur Institutions hul we should take care that they do not become a delusion, The barons supposed that they had secured a larger measure of freedom when they forced King John to sign the Great Charter, but John had no sooner sign- ed iban he resolved to take away the privllenes thereby granted, We will Dot attempt to trace the struggle for constitutional freedom through many centuries, but we wish to call alten tion to the kind nf govern ment -hey had In Upper and Lower Canada and the other province-, al i, the beginning of Queen Victoria's reign in 18117, Heretsa quotation from a Canadian history published in Toronto in 1809. "The ineiiiliers of the government and their friends joined together to secure * themselves an the public offices, were called the Family Com- -.»•;'., (..in iiihi uonmii oi ice iiinaing and also the administering of the law. They had control of the revenue and also of the Crown lands, and they abused their power hy giving large tract* to theii friends at low prices.' Under ihe ConstItnilonal Act, the assembly, which represented the people, was nol given control of the revenue. The Fxeciilive Council and the Legislative Council were appointed, nol, elected. The Executive Council could unt be removed for wrong-doing. These political abuses led to rebellion in lhe Camillas in Nftf, and snyie of those who took part in the rebellion were put lo death and others banished. When the news of this resistance to the rule of an oligarchy reached ihe British government, they sent mn Lord Durham as governor-general witb Instructions to inquire into lhe causes uf the rel-ellinn. He made a report to the British government and in it be advised among other things tbe granting of responsible governiuenl and tbe introduction of the municipal system of local self-government, We helieve lhat a municipal system of self government is one thing that the province requires, and thai our present laws relating to municipal government are defective. We wnuld advocate a system of county government within Hxed lim its, divided into townships, rather lhan townships with movable meter and tmunds, for the more pnp-ilo.is p irts of tne province. The system nf local self-government recommended hy laird Durham was introduced into Up|ier Canada in 1841. We do not wish to he understood as thinking that the political conditions of the Canada* In 1837, and of British Columbia in 1902 are parallel) there is, however, in our opinion, a similarity. When Lord Durham came to Canada he found that Iheaflairs of the people were lieing neglected on account of the snug gleslietween Ihe popular and execu live legislative branches of the legislature. He, doubtless, recommended ihe introdtirtinn of municipal Insl iin tion on account of this neglect. We have had in Briiish Columbia, for several years, a very unsatisfactory government | a good deal of lime and thought, that should have heen de voted to useful legislation, has been consumed in useless quarrels lietween ineiiiliers and factions of our legi.la tore. Therefore, if our representatives fail to do tbeir legisai ive duties, let us have as soon as possihle, a measure of local self-government. Whnt the British governnient aud Lord Durham did for people In 1837. they will have to do for themselves in 1902; In thhse days, as stated ahove, the executive and legislative councils were res|ions ihle io tbe Crown, now they are sup posed to be responsible to ihe people, though the people of British Columbia have responsible government to a limited extent nnly. That, such a state of affairs could exist in the Can- ados In tbe early years of Queen Vic loria's reign, is a very good reason, why the people, not only nt British Columbia, but of every other British colony should constantly guard whatever freedom they possess.

Those aro the upper seams In a series which consists of three tunes and it is estimated lhat tbe whole of the coal hearing strata III he pasted through at a depth of 1.800 feet, This fully demons! rates t he prediction made hy Mr, Blakemore laat fall, and also establishes the fact that whether or not coking coal ia found, thecoal will make a high grade steam and domestic fuel, "From Mr. Krnest Waterman, manager of tbe Vermillion Porks Mining ft Development Company,, an Rngliah oompany, I received considerable accurate data, regarding the operation of his company's hore drilling. This company bas two coal leases one for 312 acres, immediately adjoining the townsite of Princeton and another for M0 acres, The hore operations bave peen conHed to tbe townsite, and two holes have heen sank respectively 290 and aOBifeet, and a third is now heing put down. On the Hrst, at a depth of 70 feet a seam 18 feet five and one half incher fas passed through, as also two nther seams four snd sli feet in thickness. Below the larger seam no other coal waa struck. In the second bole at a depth of 202 feet a Ave foot team was pasted through. The third hole at the time I left Princeton was down 110 feel and in sandstone, The snalysis of the sample of coal taken from the second hole showed 47 per cent carbon, and when one considers tbat the coal is more nr lesa mlied with the sandstone drillings the per rentage is good. Sampling* of the roal taken from the pit give as high as Sl per cent carton. In (act it it a high grade steam and domett ir coal. ■The third drill was in charge nf Aleiandec Sharp M. K. reprraeting the Holt syndicate. Absolutely no Information wat oliteinalile in camp regarding what .was encountered, l-ryonri lhe fact thai several seamt of coal were penetrated. The information I obtained while mil authentic Hated that the hore was sunk 823 feet. Certain it is that Mr. Sharp espretned himself as pleased with the results iibtained. "The Osoyoos ft 8lmilkameen Coal ft Rtplnratmn Company which I represent has acquired 10 coal claims, in different tactions of the basin. After title has heen obtained tht ground will he surveyed.

Hamilton and Tonkin now have the lead on tbe Dayton claim near Camp McKinney, cut la three different plau along a dittanoe of ahoul UN feet. On this cla|m which is situate on the dl vide between tlm main Hock creek and the snath fork ef that stream, free gold can hs obtained hy panning lbe oiJdbjedore cat in each of the deep trenches or open cuts run across what is now regarded as tbe course of the vein. The Dayton was under bond to several Greenwood men tome time since, bat tbey did not proceed after a « root shaft passed out ot the mineralised rock In which It had been started. Since Ihen Hamilton mid Ynnkin have done* bitof surface work, chiefly In cutting deep trenches, and now the showing hi to promising that enquiries are Mug made with a view u> getting an nption nn the claim, which certalnl* appears to he well worth spending a few thousand dollars on to prove whether the generally gond gold values that assays return can be maintained when tha ore it treated io bulk. ', There are other likely looking min eral claims in the neighborhood of the Dayton that may be eipected to attract attention Itelor* long. Among these are the Night Hawk, owned bv Bash and Luce i Jim Crow, owned by 0. K. Hamilton! I* Rol, owned by Jas, Copeland | War Bagle, belonging to Wm. Yonkln, and several others. Two open ciiti show a big lead or dyke of mineralised rock on the Night Hnwk from which sssays ranging from SB to $10 have lieen obtained. The rock Ik mineralised throughout with white and yellow Iron sulphides, and the cnpiier ■tains showing suggest the presence of copper. A shaft sunk In this big hody wnuld Iwiter determine the characiVr and value of the ore. There Is copper in the Jim (imw ore. also a Itlle silver and gold. The Le Rol and War Ragle have pyrrhotiie with values In gold, silver and cupper. snalt was sunk by the former owners snd has at the bottom a four foot ledge of high grade copper ore. The Rainbow has Inng been considered one of the lieat. copper properties In the camp, and a few weeks ago waa sold to 8. 8. Calslian and others ot Spokane, and it, under their direction that the present work is being done. A company was recently formed to operate the property, and It Is reported here that when this contract is finished arrangements will have been made for some very extemlve development. The mine is located ahnilt three miles north of Chesaw, near the international boundary, it is on the north end of ;the famout Oopper Mountain and near it are such well known properties as the Buckhorn, the Orant, the King Salomon and the Kitchener, which fact, together with the excellent showing already found on tbe Rainbow itself, leads the local mining men to Mleve that it is a property of exceptional merit, and the owners are pursuing >he proper methods to ascertain whether or not such is the case. Fatal Accident at Victoria. Victoria, Oct. 8-This afternoon In the great, exhibition hy the pompier ladder life saving team of 8pokaoe J. F. Lylich was instantly killed, and E. M. Hooper Injured. The two are members of the Spokane Sre department, and were demonstrating the use of the pompier ladder as a means of prompt and safe exit from a several stalled huilding. The exhibition took place at the Brunswick hotel huilding on Douglas street, under the suspires of the Are chiefs convention, and the accident consequently occurred in full view of the large crowd that assembled to witness it. The two men had just concluded their tests from the southerly windows of the buildings, having descended safely and quickly from the topmost story, They were about to bring their exhibition to a close, hut decided to make one more descent. They consequently ascended several Stories, going up with an ease and agility tbat. created a favorable impression as to the efficiency of the scaling ladder on which they were operating. They then commenced the descent. Everything progretsed satisfactorily until the lowest story waa reached when the awful tragedy ocritred which deprived one of ihem of his life. Hooper was inside lhe window for the pur* pone of holding Lynch while he got on th* ladder to descend to the ground. Lynch stepped on It liefore Hooper was firmly set-ured, and fell to the pavement helow dragging Hooper, who was fastened to him, nut. of the window after him. Lynoh fell on the back nf his head crushing his scull and dying instantly. Hooper fell on him and was not seriously injured. IMMENSE OPPORTUNITY. jyJcLKOD ft BROWN. BARRigTiiM, Solicitors, Rtc.
