The old man has so long lieen a Jauinigr figure in the district thatitM^K gepuine regret those who have known him for years now see his Old cabin vacant, hut with his health and strength failing, and lacking some of the comfort* necessary to prolong bis life, the desirability of placing bim wliere he will lie cared for has lieen recognized and his admission to the Old Men's Home at Kamloops arranged for by the Pioneers Association of the Boundary dislrict, It, is not easy tn tell the tale of such j a life briefly. Nor could all that would I lie interesting, whether of ever changing fortunes, of adventures, of varied experiences and comradeships, or bf the numberless incidents and vicissi tudes filling more than three score years, of, for the uiostpait, wanderings hithei andtl-ither as chance circumstances mid inducements prompted, he learned during the nil too short uppur tuniiies afforded liy two or three talks of himself and his doings had with the old man by the writer. However, since I here aie still many left in the district nnd province wlm will likely he glad to read something, even though it he fragmentary of the life of '•Old Jolly," the endeavor will now lie made to relate in as connected a manner as can be under conditions some what unfavorable what he recently narrated when asked to tell his story. And if at tunes the statement* here made should appear to lie at variance with known fad s, it must, lie reiiiem* liereil that these are set down as given —they are not vouched for. Of course it is tn he expected that now and again the nld man's memory will Iw found at fault, but it may be noted with interest tbat several quotations that will he made from other accounts of some of the incidents mentioned by him in the main confirm Jolly Jacks' narrative. John Thornton was born at Stockton nn the river Tees, county of Durham, England, on June 11, 1825. In 1KB, sixty four years ago, he left his home to go as an apprentice on a collier, and lo become a "Hem-die," as those who followed this vocation were then and there called. During six years he make nne in the States, 'hut, hy G—! they can make good guns now," (In Dr. Alexander Johnson's "His tnrjr of the United States" the following passages occur: "The screw propeller, to take the place nf side wheels in ocean steamers, was introduced by John Ericsson in lSW The screw propeller had now—1814--bei'ii introduced Into the United States navy, and the sailing vessels of the past were no longer built. The first of these steam war vessels, the Prince, ton, was the scene of a terrible accident, during a pleasure trip on the Potomac in 1814, One of the large guns burst when it was fired a third time, and killed two ineiiiliers of the Cabinet, a commodore nf the navy, and a number nf other persons. Many other persons had narrow escapes.") After two years in the navy Jolly Jack was discharged and for a while ^ie w«_ once more in the. merchant set'* vice, hut nnly for a short time, for in ifMfl at Boston he joined the Independ- ' frigato, Commodore Shnehrink. ent ...„.._., ._ Prom Boston he went in California, for the Mexican war was in progress, hut hy the time he reached San Francisco the stars and stripes had already been hoisted. Said he : "There was very little lighting for ihe navy there There was quite a fleet at. San Francisco, wliieh (the Spaniards called 'Yabha Bono' which meant beautiful herbs. There was the sloop of war Portsmouth; the battle sbipColumbils, Commodore Biddle, jm-t come from India -, sloop of war Siam, Capt. Montgomery, and Stockton, who was now a commodore, had a frigaie there as well. The American flag was also hoisted at Monterey, San Pedro and San Di-'gn, While we were at San Francisco the Briiish Pacific squadron came down to take California hut they found it already taken. That reminded me nf a story 1 had heard before, of a lol of Britishers sent, nut once before to lake California, bin they went back without doing it, because, as they said 'the blawsted salmon wouldn't bite, wouldn't take a ■»V Invalided, Jolly Jack went hack round the Horn to New York in the frigate Savannah. But once again be shipped and this time was drafted into the southern coast survey net-vice, surveying with pole Hnd lead from Pens., cola, Florida, to Texas. Aft?r nine months all hands were discharged nt Fernanda. They got a tow boat lo take them tn New Orleans where Jolly shipped on Ihe packet. Robert Burton for Phidelphia. There he once more shipped in tbe navy, wai drafted to the receiving ship Phidelphia at Nor folk, and then to the frigate Hareton to cruise during the winter between tbe cape* Delaware and Chesapeake, on the lookout for distressed vessels. Thence to New York, where he was discharged. At. New York he shipped on hoard tbe 10 ton brig Meteor, Capt. "Bully" Smith, to go round the Horn. This brig, having been built for use as a slaver, waa a very fast craft. When she reached Valpariso, Chile, her owner tried to sell her to the Chilian lo excitement broke oni. Men from all parts of the country flocked tn California : they went by steamer to the Isthmus nf Panama, ciossed il and sailed up the coast to San Francisco ; they bought sailing vessels and wenl around Cape Horn; they travelled overland across the plains. The fever was not confined to the United States, but spread to Europe. Within two years there were 100,000 persons in California, and San Francisco was a rapidly growing city of 20,000 inhabitants,) In 1858 Ihe Fraser River excitement broke nut. Said Jolly ; "Loll of us paid our passage money to Victoria. B. C. From - there we crossed the straits lo the Fraser river auy way we could—in boats, dug-outs, or even oil a few hoards fastened together. There must have heen a good many lives Inst among those who were in a hurry to get to the digging," A writer in tbe B. C. Mining Record in December of 1805 thus referred to the Fraser rush : "It is an old story now of how people from Sun Francisco poured into Vic loria try thousands and set up their tenis; of how they lushed up the FriiHer river, often crossing the Gulf of Georgia in open hosts ; how otheis came up the tableland of the interior; how they crossed the Isthmus of Panama, or rounded the cape; how they entered from Whatcom, or plodded wearily overland from East ern Canada. Victoria became a city in a day, and the mainland solitude was converted into a crown colony in a year. The vicissitudes and hardships of the eager throng as they pushed their way up the turbulent Fraser with facilities for transport limited t provisions dear as gold itself; an unknown region to penetrate, and each a stranger among a strange crowd of advent urers, constitute a chapter of history in themselves." Jolly Jack's stay nn the Fraser was not a very lengthy one, for in the fall of the following year he came, as already mentioned, to Boundary Creek. Of his after experiences something will he told next week. m*m New Machinery for Knoh Hill and OM IroniMe*. The new machinery house in which the large electrically driven compress or plant the Granby Company is put ting in at ita mines at Phoenix is to be installed is well forward towards com pletion. Thr building is 00 feet hy 1211 feet and 90 feet high to the ridgecap* ping. It ii now enclosed and the foundation* for both compressor* and electric motors are about finished, the latter having been completed a month since. Tbi* building is placed far en oiigh away from lhe nre quarries to lie out ot reach of most of the rock* scat tered around when blasting. The two tandem duplex compound Rand air compressors, lo lie driven by two 750- horse power Induction electric motors to give together a flO-drill rapacity, should soon he received at 'he mines, Two cars have already arrived snd the restof I he compressor planl has been are about ready tor the big Karri I crusher, having jaws niili an opening 3B hy 42 inch, a which will he driven by a lOU-horse power electric motor. This crusher is the largest of ils kind yet made hi Camilla. The open workings at the (iranby mines are assuming large |,iu* nrtiuiis. The quarries now extend niirih and south almut 1.HW) feet over all, and have a widlh varying fiom ahmn 50 feet at the upper face to about 100 feel near the month of the miun tunnel. Besides this an area lip'-ruit- mate)) Mil) feet long hy 200 feet wide lins been stripped in readiness for removal of the enormous body of ore thus uncovered. Woik iu the main quarries is being carried nu iu i he usual manner. To facilitate sending mil ore more large openings have been made from the Knoh Hill main tunnel up tn the quarries, giving in all twelve of these big chutes for sending down theme. No.2 tunnel, part of whicli was forn,erly the HiO foot level of the Knob Hill, starting from ul out the centre of the Old Imnsides claim, now runs about l.MX) feet into the hill. At that distance in it connects I y a 100* fl. winze with the Knob Hill main lunnel which continues south about 1,000 feet further, so thai practically theie is ii continuous working, in oie all tbe vay, fur a disim.ee of nearly 2,0110 feel. From lhe Hour of No.2 tunnel to thc highest pomi of the ore- face in the upper q.inri ies is about 410 feet vertical. With un ore body being worked tn ihis depth and having a widlh of 300to 400 feel and u pi-m.-d length of nearly 2.51,0 feet it is quite evident that, even wilh i lie daily output of 6.000 inns which the new plant is designed to pro- ide power for, ihere are many years' work ahead here with a consequent enormous production. This leaves entirely nut of in count the extensive underground workings iu the Old Ironsides and Victoria mines, which contribute about jt) per cent of the present output. The total output of tbe Granby mines now aggreal en about532.0O0 tons ol ore, all of which hus heen treated at the company's own smelting works at- Grand Kork*. Of ibis total 04.531 tons .wen- ibip-ied during the second half of | UMU. Ml.-m uw. in litti, and the tie- maiuder during ihe current year. Tbe output would have been Jtill larger tmt for difficult ies in connection with tbe fuel supply and water power at the smelter for the three or four months just pait. triune railed.

His experience* during hi* earlier years at sea were similar to those of many another lad. After having "sailed the Spanish Main he eventually landed in the United Stales, and thereafter sailed out of tew York, Philadelphia. New Orleans, and other Atlantic ports to the West Indies and Venezuela southward and to Bermuda northward. In 1844 he joined the U.S. navy, going on iKtard the steam frigate Princeton, Capt. Stockton, during the time of President John Tyler's administration. Said he "the Princeton was built by Stockton himself, and she was the Hrst vessel in the United States m-vy to have a propeller. She steamed 12 or 13 knots an hour, and when the people first saw hei they got scared to death, for she had no sails and burnt her own smoke, so they couldn't make -at tow she went along.

Jolly Jack at. once joined the Scotch brig Annie Moon nf Aberdeen, and sailed for San Francisco, which upon arrival he found to lie a canvas cit v miles of It. Three times it was burnt down. It was a fearful place for gain bling; men used to work just long enough, at (2,00 an hour, to get money to gamble wilh and then go hack and play until it was all gone. We got a whaleboal and went up to Stockton, where we sold the boat and started afoot for the diggings. This was in the spring of 1840 and by the next fall the rivers, creeks and gulches had all been taken up. W.i were all novices at placering, chiefly soldiers and sailors, and we did'nt know how lo put a pick in the ground, but we soon found out, though," Jolly Jack remained in these part, about nine years. Once during this period he was buried by a fall of earth, Ho was got out, hut was Injured so much that he was knocked out tor nearly a year. His accident was a lesson lo others, who afterwards took tn timbering (licit-workings when tunneling in the wash. (Johnson says of the California gold fever: "The news of the discovery wss hardly believed at lirst in the older settled pans of the country ; but early — — —,j -.*■* — piled the necessary rope drives, seven air receivers, twenty 3) New Giant drills and a 10 ton travelling crane.

Advcrtisiiifc- ra!.:» soul on ;i|iplicallon. MONDAY, OOIOBEK 8, 1902. Elsewhere in this issue we publish a letter from W. A. Galliher, metnt-erfor the Yale-barihon district, it, which he states lhat he is desirous of meeting the mine owner* for the purpose of discussing the subject nf encouraging silver lead milling lit the province. It is io be hoped the mine owners will take advantage of ll.e opportunity of meeting Mr. Galliher and discussing with him this quesi ion so that he will Iw in a position lo place ilie matter liefore the Dominion government in a manner that will he satisfactory to all those interested. Last we showed that ll Urge amount of public money had been wasted in an attempt to build a i-o.nl up the West Fork of Kettle river, Ii. is certainly within the mark to put this amount together with tlie additional sum neci'ssarv to complete the road and the loss to the provincial treasury by arresting the development of Ihe important mining camps at $20,000 j ihis covers a period of ahout four years, or since the overthrow of the Turner government. This is only a very small section of a very larf*e province, and we will suppose that successive governments have uiid"riiiken similar works in 2(k» different parts of the province ; that no public money has heen wasted in 75 per cent of them, hut results similar lo those on the West Fork of Keitle river happened in 21 percent of tbem, It would mean that §1.000,000 of public moneys have been wasted, or perhaps it would lie more correct to say that the provincial treasury is short that amount. We have not heard from all parts of the province, where public works have been carried on, hut reliable information received ttoiii several parts seems to indicatit lhat conditions, similar to those on the West Fork of Kettle river, bave prevailed. Is it any wonder lhat the governnient are taxing everything in sight'/ lhat they are continually borrowing money f that they are clamoring for better terms from the Dominion government? The lot of those living beyond the hounds of municipalities, so far as governnient is concerned, is nnl a pleasant nne. There is no self governnient; during an election campaign some individual from the ranch, the sawmill, or the law office comes around soliciting votes, he is, perhaps, elected, and is a member of the successful political party. In the new government he becomes a Minister of the Crown, the head of an important department of the government. Lines he take off his coat and say to himself "I will over haul this department frnm top to bottom, no matter how much lalsir it costs uie?" No, he does nothing of the kind. He leaves lhe work to his deputy and the other officials through out tbe province, who are in most i .uses, fossilized beyond all hope of cure, and have a life-tenure of office, Tbe Honorable Chief of the department, lately from the people, clothed ln new raiment, seduced hy the social atmosphere of Victoria, beneath the dome of the million dollar parliament buildings loses his head, and imagine! he ii a statesman, but it is perhaps, in fact the commonest kind of mediocrity .in the guise of statesmanship. Instead of mastering the details of his department, he spends his time in negotiating with railroad magnates, whereby the government undertakes to give away a few hundred thousand square miles of Ihe puhlic domain, and a large cash bonus to aid in the construction of a transcontinental railroad with a terminus ut Victoria, in Ibe meantime some civil servant may he getting in his fine wmk, hut if complaint he made to the Chief he simply answers in effect, that he upholds his subordinates ; be call do noiliing else, because htf Is ignorant of the work of the department. Ii is lo he hoped, now that we have increased representation, that representatives will he chosen pledged to confine themselves to the lower altitudes of legislation, if We may use that expression, and that local inteiest will receive iheir best and, as far as possible, Iheir personal attention. I would like this matter to Is- taken up in earnest by Ihe mine owners and to hi'advised of the time and place of Uieeting. By kindly giving this space in your paper, you will oblige. Tours truly, W. A. Ualliher, Tracy W. Holland Resigns. Silver-Lead Mining. Nelson, B. 0.. Sept. HOth, 1002. To the Editor of Tiik Dispatch. Dear Sib, Owing to some divergence of opinion as lo lhe best mean . to lie adopted foi I he encouraging of silver lead mining in Mulish Colombo.. 1 desire I hat the iiiiiib owners llx a lime ami place for the dis-ussinii nf I his suhji-ct und also aslo I lie iuliiiissir.il im.!, Canada free of duty of all mining supplies and machinery not maniifaciiired iu Canada, and the lowering of duties on certain other mining machinery manufactured in Canada. 1 shall In; plea*ed to attend any such met ling in order that I may have their views thereon In aid ine in tny endeavor to bring ahoul condition's most favorable lo the mining industries in my constitiieniy. I might add that, the views of the Boards of Trade and smeller men and some of the representatives of large silver lead mines iu my riding on the question are already liefore the government. Grand Forks, f;. C, Oct. l.~ A private dispatch received today from Toronto, Ont., conveyed the announcement that. Tracy W. Holland, general manager of the Ki-ttle Valley Lin--s, had tendered bis resignation and had disposed nt his imeresi in the enterprise. The resignation has already taken effect. Mr. Holland is now on his way jveit, bat his future plans are unknown. Mr. Holland will pmpahly serve out his term as mayor of Grand Forks. W. A, Stralton, a Toronto attorney, has heen here for some time past on business in connection with ihe railway company. Mr. Stralton is a brother of Hon. J. K. Stralton, provincial secretary of the Ontario provincial government, and who with olher eastern capitalists are interested in the enterprise. Asked respecting the report of Mr.Hnlland'i resignaiion. he replied : "Yes I understand Mr- Holland has resigned, hut have not received any further inforinatioii from the east." The resignation of Holland as general manager of the road is the latest development in an enterprise which has been marked with more sensational features and bas given as Utile return on Ihe money invested as any scheme carried out in the northwest for many a mouth. The '-Hot Air Line,"as tbe load has come to l-e called, represents an investment of over $1,000,000, which Ontario men put. into Ihe scheme for building a railway from Republic, Wash., lo Grand Forks, B. C, The road has cost far more than was ever expected, and it has done practically no business at all. The formal opening took place ahoul Ave months ago. Since then the road has carried somewhat more than 500 toii6 nf ore, tor which it is supposed ti get a revenue of $1 a ton. It gave up all idea of runinng passenger trains long ago, and now it is not even running freight trains. Tbe cars and the en gines are lying idle in the yards, un til such a time as shipements com meiice out. of Republic, when the officials of the road expect to get a portion of tbe husiness. ■ ». One of Life's Pleasures. There is nothing in life more enjoyable and at the same time so bene Hcial to Imth mind and hody, aa traveling. A modern railway journey, intelligently taken, lends to prolong life, break the monotony of existence and acts as a panacea for dull care, by taking us out of the well worn channels of worldly and business struggles. Before stalling upon a trip, whether on business or recreation, it is well to inquire and investigate the various routes, and choose the one offering the hest inducements in the way of comfort and attraction. The traveler, the tourist or business man' is wise in selecting the Rio Grande Lines in a journey to and from the east, as it offers every comfort and modern convenience to mil all classes of travel, with an array of scenic attractions unsurpassed in the world. Castle Gate, The Canon of Ihe Grand, Marshall Pass, Tennessee Pass and the world renowned Royal Gorge are but few of these attraction! seen from the car windows, Three fast trains daily lietween Ogden and Denver, Pullman Palace and Ordinary Sleeping cars on all trains to Denver, Omaha, Kansas City, Chicago and St. Louis without change, A perfect Dining cat-service.

Tunnel No. 2 cut, the ledge about 130 feet from the surface, south of tunnel Nn. 1. "The drift from tunnel No. 2 on the ledge is more than lOOfeettb the north and is nuw under tunnel No, 1. The upraise frnm this drift will connect with the drift on the ledge of tunnel No. 1, giving good ventilation for woik in Imth places. A winze is going down from the No. 2 level, near the south end is in good ore, When deep enough another short tunnel can lie driven, making development 100 feet deeper, "A short tunnel, 85 feet of No. 2 I Un nel, was driven for ventilation. While making an upraise and sinking the winze that will facilitate work in liolb places and give good air until the nexi level is opened. The values throughout have averaged from tfi AO to more than (QUO per loo, lieing samples of the stratas ranging fnun six inches to seven feet in widlh. "Working testa, liy amalgamation of the free gold, show extraction of between (10 and 82 per cenl, and lead to the conclusion tlmt at least(10 -wr cent can he saved by amalgamation.

Itis reported here that the property of The New Fairview Corporation Lid., has been sold in England for ■JflOO.IlOO, of which duO.OOO is to lie paid down. $360,000 iu lliree months, and the balance latter. This Information has nnl yet lieen officially confirmed. Imt it is regarded as probable that the deal known to have la-en in negotiation for some time past has now heen closed. The company's property consists of the unsold portion of the Fairview townsite (less the government reserve)) the Hotel Fairview, a 3 story building 60x60; office building, assay outfit, etc.; water rights; 48 stamp mill, with a cyanide plant being put in ; almut 400 acres of coal lands situate 10 miles north of Fairview, and 16 ciown-grant- ed quail claims all within three miles of Fairview. The company's chief mining property is the Stemwinder, which has levels opened al 100,200 and 300 feet respectively, and which have developed a hig body of quartt ore. At the 300 ft level this bas heen yielding ore stated to have averaged $10 a ton for a IB-font shoot. Tbe deepening of the mine shaft Is now In progress, a depth of alxiul IU feet helow the station on the 300ft level having been reached values are gradually improving with depth, a 12-foot laidy of ore running froul $8 to $20, no assay giving less lhan $8. The mine is considered to look better now than at any previous time. This week it is intended to start dtopping 20 more stamps, this number having lately lieen added lo these heretofore in use. Ostenliurg is pushing on with the work of installing the cyanide plant, and it is expected to have this ready for operation within six weeks. It is housed in an L shaped h.illding 150 feet long by 80 feet at its widest part. Having its own sawmill on the ground Ihe company has been ina position to turn out on short, notice all the limber required, including the 12xl2's foi foundations. 0. G. Cunningham, of Oreenwood, 1ms completed installing and electric light plant and 108 eight candle power lamps iu stamp mill and oilier mine buildings and workings. Next-month lu. will go there again to put in .25 additional lights In the cyanide works. To furnish light a triumph dynamo, made In Olnolnattl, of 110 volts 63 ampieres, has lieen put. in. More power for the stamp mill is lieing provided. By ditch, flume and pipe water is being conved from a lake distant ahoul 4J miles, In whicli dis tance it. has a fall of about 1080 feet. It, is estimated that 75-horse power additional is obtainable from this source to stipplenienl the steam power already available. Connection is made from the Pelton wheel right on lo a j.ick shaft connecting stent" engine and stamp mill, By this combination when more power shall he required than the the water supplies the engine will furnish it.
