WIU be an Extremely Expensive Line to Build so Must be Liberally Subsidised. The Advanck has for months past maintained lhat there is no rnason- lile probability of the Robson-Midway railway lieing extended beyond Midway for some lime lo come—in all likelihood nol fm- two or Ihree years. In once again re-iterating thia opinion and in dunning that Midway will receive material lienetit fr un lieing dining a comparatively long pciiml the western terminus of lhe Ooiumbia and Western railway, pleasure is taken in directing attention to editorial opinions quite lately cxpres sed in the Vancouver "World" and Victoria "Colonist" respectively, Tlie "World" gives the distance lielween Midway and Spence's Bridge, on the C. P. K. main line, as 225 miles and after pointing out the advantages to both the coast cities and the Siinilkauieen country such a railway would Siloed, and that Midway, (ireenwood and Grand Forks could be reached in 15 to 18 hours from Vancouver, and vice versa, were surli a line in operation, il says that, tlie C. ,P, lt. company is fully alive to the importance of the conditions referred to. Oontlnu- ing it remarks: "But it is impossible for the company lo decide upon a definite policj with reference lo these extensions until ll has been able to make such a caieful examination of lhe most feasible and desirable route. The conn try in every direction is of such a character as to make railway construction Exceedingly expensive, and therefore the company cannot afford to make any mistakes, It is expected lhat during the incoming spring and summer sueli definite information will Ihi received as will enable the conipany to lake decided aulioii in the matter, and have nil its plans matured for proceeding with the work at lhe earliest possihle moment. Tlie conipany has laken means to ascertain the possibilities for traffic, and having satisfied iUelf upon this poinl, there is every reason now for the belief that in the course of two or three years at the furthest a line of railroad will be in operation from Spence's Bridge in the direction we have indicated. Considerable, however, will depend upon the assistance which the company may receive in the matter of subsidies. It is a well known fact that It will lie an extremely expen sive line lo huild, and lhat for some time, al least, the traffic to he derived will not be such as tu pay even the smallest moiety nf dividends." Referring to this subject the "Colonist" observes: "The "World" seems to accept as inevitable that the Canadian Pacific will extend its Rohson- Midway line to Spence's Bridge and to be willing to accept this as the hest route to the Interior attainable. Such information as we have at command does not lead us to the conclusion that the C. P. 11. has decided upon a line from Midway to Spence's Bridge, hut rather that no decision whatever has been reached in that regard." The Rossland "Miner", too, recently commented upon the situation, remark ing that "in order that our internal relations should he better, there must be a more direct, line built to the coast. The C. P. R. has promised to provide such a short line, but has made its terminus at Midway, and is prohahly waiting there till it is given another big subsidy liefore it will huild on towards the coast." This then appears to he the position. ThcC.P.R.Co.is now having the Siinilkauieen country thoroughly explored ho as tu be ready, when the time shall be opportune, to proceed with the Midwny-Spence's Bridge extension, hut, thai lime is not yet nor is it likely to be until both substantial monetary aid towards construction and a large oul ward tonnage immediately after completion are definitely assured. Meanwhile the "World" advocates the construction of the proposed Hope- Princeton wagon road which, it says, ">vhen completed, would enable anyone to lake a conveyance from the Coast as far as Hossland and other Interior points, by way of Princeton, Fairview, Midway, Oreenwood, Grand Forks and other important pointa. It is therefore to be hoped that the government will recognize the Importance of the situation, and at once grant such aid as will enable the completion of what will bea great artery for trade and commerce, in the way of a wagon road." THE CARIBOO-McKINNEY. Mine Never Looked Better.—Has Paid $400,337 in Dividends. Has Three Years' Supply of Ore In Sight. Will Enlarge Mill to 40 Stamps. The Cariboo mine in Camp McKinney haa several years' supply *f ore blocked out and ihe capacity of tbe stamp mill is in lie doubled, says Ibe Toronto "World." This is the gist of the Inforinatioii obtained by lhe shareholders at the recent meeting af tbe Cariboo Consolidated Oold Mining k Milling Company. While disappointing announcements are being t»ade concerning some olher mines, it is gratifying lo the. company's shareholders aud to lhe public in general Io hear Oood News of the Carlboo-McKinney. At Ihis annual meeting of lbe stockholders, a number ofshareholders were present, wilh Mr. Roliert Jaffray, president, in the chair. The president, in presenting his reporl for the year, on lielialf of thc directors, «taled lhat since Ihe company's reorganization in October, 1898, a large amount of necessary development work had hceu done iu the mine, and important and valuable additions made to the operating plant,and that, besides making ihe large expenditures necessary for the above, the company had been able to pay dividends of one cent a share per month to lhe share holders, making lhe tolal dividends paid up lo Decern lier 31,1801), $400,- 337.62. Mr. Jaffray concluded bis report with tbe following staletnent s "You will he pleased lo learn that thf company's superintendent in charge of the mine reports Ihal lhe Property Never Looked Better than at. present, and there is every reason foi believing thai the product of lhe mine will continue to pt|tial and may exceed tbat of lhe p ist. lt is also recommended that the capacity of lha company's tweuty- siamp mill lie increased at an early date." The president's report was followed by tbat of the managiiig director, Mr. George B. McAuley, who chronicled the acquisition by the company of the outside quarter interest of the Okanogan claim, and stated ihal this purchase completed the consolidation of the company's properties. The properties to which tbe Catilaio company has now an absolute title are seven in numher, namely : the Maple Leaf, Alice, Emma, Cariboo, Amelia, Sawtooth and Okanogan, all of which aie contiguous, and the lode known as lhe Carihoo vein runs through them all, extending for 4,7(10 feet in an easterly and westerly direction within the limits of lbe company's propert y. Up tu the present time mining operations upon the company's properly have been most ly confined to the limits of the Cariboo, Amelia and Sawtooth claims. It will lie seen, therefore, that according to Mr. McAuley's report, the company's ledge has not. yet lieen opened up for half its length, Anol her feature brought out by the managing director's report is that the ledge down to llu* depth of the present developments upon Cariboo and Amelia ground haa shown a number of breaks or displacements, wbich have at times caused much trouble and have materially increased the cosl of mining. This condition apparently does tint exist in the ledge where it has been opened up on the Okanogan claim, I he developments there showing the Vein in Place on all the Level*. The policy of the company during the past year is outlined in the following paragraph of ihe report: "It, has beet: ihe aim of the management since the reorganization of the company lo push the development both east and wesl, in order to put more ore reserves ii sight, wilh a view to tbe increase of our milling plant at as early a dale as possible. This policy may have interfered some a hat with the earnings of the pioperty during the pasl yeai, but lhe benefits will accrue from now on," The report next proceeds to describe the company's plant, which consists of a 20 s'amp mill, a duplex compound Hand lll-ili ill compressor and a hoisting plant capable of sinking lu a deplh of 1,000 feel. During Ihe pasl year I he mine has employed on an average ut) men continuously, As to the output, of Ihe mine during the past year, though for four months during lhe winter of 1811800, owing to the abnormally severe weather, which shut off the wilier supply, the mill was run al only half ils rapacity, the com- puny has crushed 14,702 tons of oie, yielding 11,702 nnncesof bullion, valued at $b"7fl,080.3tl, and 875 tons of concentrates, it'uuliiiuvil on page 2.1 WAR NOTES. Boers will pay $1,500 for a Des. patch Rider's Head.~Can- adians are Handy Men. The Canadian Patriotic Fund.—Estimated Cost of "Strathcona's Horse. One the most daring dispatch-riders in the present war is Mr. W, Cum* mings, on whose head the Boers have set a price of £300. On one occasion this intrepid rider crept for nearly thirty miles on his hands and knees with dispatches through a part of lhe country swarming with the enemy and successfully reached his destination. In lhe British House nf Commons, Mr. Wyndham, Parliamentary Secretary of the War OfHie, answering a question, said that 2,285 officers nnd men of lhe British Army were missing, hut it was uncertain how many of I hem were at Pretoria. As to their protection, in ease Ihe British besieged Pretoria. Mr. Wyndham said Ibat tbe Government, left that tothe discretion of Lord Roberts. Answering another question, Mr, Wyndham stated that, in addition to the 180,000 troops in South Africa, recently mentioned in his speech, the Government had decided t o send seventeen more battalions of Militia nnd 3,000 Yeomanry, making a lotal fur the Militia of over 20,000 men and for theYeomanry of 8,000. Tbe grand total in South Africa, he added, would then lie 194,000 effectives exclusive tif sick and wounded. An English newspaper says : "Tlie Canadian seems to be quite lhe handiest of handy men. lie is equally at home carrying Boer positions or carrying the (liabiea of rescued loyalists. He goes singing over lhe veldl ns blithe as a bullet from his own rifle and sets ac example of cheerfulness and determination in the fare of hardship and danger, tie admires Tommy Alkius and Tommy .I'liiiiivs him, and never was such mutual aduilialion better deserved, The Press Association states that Lord LovatJias raised n corps nf IH> gillies and stalkers frnm Highland estates with whom lie will leave immediately for South Africa. The Highlanders will all be mounted on their ponies. Iiis expected Ihal this emps will be of gieal service. Tbey are a very hardy and powerful body, used to long matches lu the Highlands, nnd while deadly shots, Iheir mobility -r.ill lie great, (he ponies lieing accustomed lu pick their way in alt states of weather through the glens and depth, of Highland forests. Prince Boris Cwtvemiufkl, a Russian, and an African explorer and big game hunter, who has spent many years in South Africa, is lepottrd to have said: "Let tbe English get hut nne victoiy, aud you will see the entire appearance of the Boers change. They are not a people who can keep up a protracted campaign. People who talk of their holding put very long aie to my mind mistaken in their calculations. It is quite true thai President Kiuger is tih.tinale and can he personally relied upon lo protract matters to Ihe extermination point, but he is not so very popular, and the Boer people may have something to say." The Canadian National Pat-iotic Fund, as outlined by His Excellency the Governor-General, is organized «s follows: (1) For the benefit of ihe widows, orphans and other depeudenls of officers and men of the military forces nf Canada who may uiifoi tunaie'y lose their lives in or in connection «ith the war operations in Soul b Africa. (2) For the benefit of (he soldiers themselves or employees of ihe Canadian Government attached to the contingent in Uoutfa Africa who may have been disabled hy uoiinds or sickness, etc. (3) For lhe licnefil of the wives and children and dependents, separated at home from husbands and fathers and guardians by Uie exigencies of the campaign. Lord Strathcona's offer to raise and maintain a regiment nl' Canadian rangers for service in South Africa will do much to advertise Canada mid lullst vaslly increase the admiration of lbe Mot hei land for lhc colony lhat produces men. A military expert at Ottawa figures out the cosl of the undertaking us follows: 400 men, outfit, $10(1 each $ 40,000 4110 men, arms $3t> each 20,1*1(1 Hid horses, $1110 each 40.1X10 4110 hoi ses, mu fit $60 20,000 Transportation. $2iKi per man .. 80,000 Do,, horses, $100 Pay 400 men BOc, per day Maintenance, 60c, per day Maintenance horses, 50Y.' pel day 73.000 Contingencies and exnas.say..

The :-h.n't has been built up ahout ten feet above the surface of the ground, so .is to give iiu.-teased facilities for dumping the rock to be hoisted out ot the shaft, which is uow from the collar about 80 feet in depth. Sinking will he resumed after thc steam hoist ordered lust month shall have lieen received and installed. The plant now being installed on the War Eagle, in Phoenix camp, is a duplicate qf that running smoothly and giving much satisfaction on the Buckhorn, in Deadwood camp. The War Eiiglt* shift is down 30 ft et. The sinking is hard in country that looks favorable for soon cutting the ore !«• lieve-l to occur hei-e. Including the men employed in setting up the plant the War Eagle has a pay-roll of 15 or 10 men. Thi*- is one of several local properties in the development of whi—I B_stern Townships capital is being employed.
