Railway will not be Extended
Beyond Midway for a
Year or Two.
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,

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:

the effect that additional plant and

It is noted lhat lhe extension of the

Afiei rending these reports it was
decided by the directors todoulle the
milling capacity. This means that
nil bin a few months the mine will
have a I'l stamp mill.
In older to further distinguish the

is that the hanker, while hanker, has
