A favorite hobby for years with a little knot of politicians at tiie capital has been to havo a direct steamer running between that place nnd San Francisco. -How much theaxL-. vantages that would accrue from such an undertaking have been magnified everyone taking any interest in thc aff.'irs of the colony well knows. The cost of a subsidy of course was nothing'compared with the promised re- «ults to New Westminster. The embryo city was to be built up into a thriving commercial emporium, and the local trade arising from the influx of direct passengers would more than connterbalance the"expense of the subsidy, especially as the capital p-iid so infinitesimal a part of the amount! It was in vain that persons from the interior protested against the squandering of the public money on such an object, if not carried out properly. It did not require much prescience to know i hat the result, under the arrangement entered into, would be more detrimental to the commercial interests of the colony than otherwise, but as matters stand, the result is even CARIBOO MINING INTELLIGENCE.

Above the cation the companies which have been at work all winter still continue taking out pay, but the banks arc not yet sufficiently thawed to allow hydraulic washing to commence nor is there water yet in the Bed Rock Flume Company's ditch to enable them to do worse7than the strongest opponents of the ar-so ; at the foot of the canon the old Burns raiigement predicted. The " direct" steamer I Tunnel Company which has been at great cx- has been running now for three months and vhatthti politicians impressed upon their dupes in the capital as certaiu to occur, has been falsified by actual events. Business in every department of trade in New Westminster instead of being augmented has really decreased under the "direct" steamer arrangement, and trades people who wcre formerly blind to everything but the teaching of their political lenders, are now beginning to free that they havo committed a gross error in listening to i he sophistries of their false guides. If the results of the expenditure that has been going on only fell upon the authors of the arrangement iu question, we could afford to pass it hy—without a-~woxd_ofjwmment, but when those who have really to "pay the~pi]rer" are the merchants of Yale and the interior gen pense erecting a splendid aqueduct to bring the water of Black Jacket Gulch across Williams Creek to the level of the top of the hill, has commenced ground sluicing, but they have not water enough yet to make much progress. Below them we find the Foster Campbell Company still hard at work building a strong bulkhead to keep the creek off their ground and running a drain round their shaft, they expect to get to work again in a few days, and having struck good pay in the high ground just before they were drowned out, they have great hopes of being quickly reimbursed for the heavy outlay they have been at during the winter. Below them none of the creek claims above the Calidonia can work on ae- mencing to work their front ground througi •heir incline. Conklin Gulch. On Conklin Gulch the Ericcsnn and Sawmill Companies are engaged pumping out water, and the Rcid and New Zealand Companies are getting ready to work; the United Company have struck a large channel in the hill on the north side which has raised the spirits ot the owners of hill claims on that side. Stout's Gulch. On Stout's Gulch the several companies which have struck pay expect io take out large returns shortly as soon as they get pro-, perly drained, a share in the Alturas Company was sold a day or two since for we believe $3,f)00.—[Cariboo Sentinel.

Under the arrangements which Star Company continues running their tunnel, have been made with the "direct" steamer the amount, of subsidy paid is not less than $4,000 a month. What do we get for that outlay? Nothing but a competition in our trade which the merchants here cannot meet. The subsidized steamer brings her passengers to Victoria where they are landed to roam about for twenty-four hours, and that city being a free port, as a matter of course the miners are smart enough to understand they can buy their supplies there cheaper than at the head of navigation at Yale. The merchants here cannot bring a pound of goods in without paying the duties, whilst the miner can purchase everything he requires in Victoria and bring it in without paying a dollar of either import duties or tonnage dues. Is this fair to our merchants who are so heavily taxed and vho are actually paying the subsidy which the Government, at the bidding of a few men who have nothing to lose, is squandering in such a gross manner?

It is now being demonstrated that the*e " top streaks" are to be found all through the creek, and if the miners can trace a continuous lead in the gravel, it will take years yet to work out claims which have hitherto been prospected and worked only on the bed rock. The Bank and Nevada Tunnels are getting ready to wash; the Beauregard Company is prospecting, but has got nothing yet; the California Tunnel Company has got to work with good prospects, they are taking out now about 1 ounce per pay to the hand, this company in view of a scarcity of water in the creek for | hill claims has applied for the privilege of!

It will not do to have our merchants going to Victoria to purchase their goods, paying the duties upon their importation, and then having goods brought ill from the same place free of every impost to compete with them in the colony.

PAINFUL RUMOR. A rumor nffecting the honor and credit of our Government has been going the rounds for some days past, and it has created a most orieasy feeling among the public. When we consider that the present Administration has had no financial policy worthy of the name, and that it has pursued a system of reckless 4-xtravngiince and wasteful expenditure that eonld scarcely be paralleled, we are prone to believe that there is some foundation for the current rumor. We forbear from making more particular allusion to the subject at present, ss we feel that consequences which *o drend to contemplate might be the result io the colony. BOW THE PUBLIC INTERESTS ^RE PROTECTED. Mr. Moberly, thc Assistant Surveyor-General, is laying ill with mountain fever near Wilson's Landing, Columbia river, totally incapacitated from attending to business. Thc Chief Commissioner of Works is employed at his desk at New Westminster in writing letters! Most certainly our interests are well looked after by the mammoth establishment known as the Lands and Works. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. AUCTION. Storage and Forwarding, YALE, B. C. THE BIG BEND MINES. MR.

YALE, MONDAY, MAY 28, 18G6. Terrible Catastrophe. SEVENTEEN MEN DROWNED. We received news by Express last evening that a boat capsized in the Columbia river on its way down from the Big Bend mines, one day last week, when the seventeen men who were in it were drowned. Thk Steamer Marten.—Although it has been predicted by many that the Hudson Biy Company would not have their steamer in running order on the lakes before the middle of June next, yet the predictions have been falsified by the events of the past week, as the following telegram from Cache Creek, dated the 24th inst. will show : " I have the pleasure of informing you that the steamer Marten will make her first trip on this day at noon. She will commence her regular trips on Saturduy next immediately on receipt of the mail. W. A.'Mouat." When we consider the short time that has elapsed since the timber in the Marten was growing in the forest, -and the difficulty of getting men and material up to Shuswap at a most inclement season of the year, it redounds greatly to the credit of the company for public spirit and enterprise, to find their contract carried out with such commendable promptitude. It has been the custom of some of the high officials of the colony to pass sneering remarks at the energy displayed by the company, but it would have been well for the country if some of her servants, who are so well paid for doing their duty were to imitate the example of the company in regard to their new steamer. To Mr. Moffat and Mr. Thompson great praise is due for the energy displayed in preparing the lumber and getting the boat built in so short a time, and Mr. Suffem nnd his assistant are deserving of the highest commendation for the- marvellously short time occupied iu getting the machinery put together. We must not omit to give Mr. McKay his due share of the honor attached to the expediting of the work. He was one •if the first, we believe, to go up with the men in the depth of winter to inaugurate a work that in its results is a credit to all concerned. We trust that under Captain Mount the vessel will be successfully and profitably employed for ninny years to come. From the Big Bend Mines. During the past week a number of miners arrived here from the interior. They give conflicting accounts of the new mines. Some think the country will turu out a rich mining region, others are of a different opinion. The following accounts are given as a fair sample of the statements made: From a Canadian who arrived hew on Wednesday last direct from tho mines we learn that the snow was still very deep on French and McCullough's Creeks with the exception of near the entrance to the creeks, where it was nearly all off. So far not much prospecting had been done. In many places encouraging prospects had been obtained. Several claims ou both creeks were paying, but nothing very " big" had so far been taken out. Saw quartz cropping up on the creeks, and in (he opinion of our informant and many others with whom he conversed, the country is auriferous. The. water in the creeks whs rising very fast, and the belief among old miners was that it would be a mouth or six weeks before much successful mining could be done. Our informant saw men stake off claims which were covered with at least twelve feet of snow. After remaining a few days running round, these men left the diggings cursing the country, " that there was nothing in it." It was raining nearly all the time in the mines and the men had to put up with great discomfort in consequence. Thinks the bars on the Columbia river are very rich and that good pay will be got out of them in the after part of the season. Our informant left for the purpose of working at his ttade (a shoemaker) in New Westminster for four or five weeks, and then—if the water has fallen— to return to the mines, of which he has a successfully. He says that the mrjority of men who are coming down country have never been in the mines at all and know nothing about them. He thinks the men all went up too early, and the majority with very scanty means. Provisions at the mines rated as follow: Flour, 60 cents; bacon, $1 75; tea, $3; beans, $1. Our informant thinks that a moderate outlay at present would make the truil over the divide practicable. He also gives it as his opinion that of those who are now leaving the mines a large proportion will be back again in the full, when he -'xpeets there will be stirring news concerning rich strikes. LETTER FROM SAVANA'S FERRY. May 18th, 1866.. I promised to keep you posted, so I thought I would drop you a line or two before I go over the lakes. 1 found it very hard to pari with Boi)A-parte, but us I was short of cash I thought it best to go to Cache Creek, but as that .place belied its name I came on tu Savana's Ferry, and a ferry nice place it is. I stopped .at the Ferry Hotel, and I /bund Mr, K. quite K-pable of keeping a gocd house. Savana's Ferry is at the west end of Kamloops lake, on the north side of Thompson river. It was called Kamloops from the From Mr. J. L. Shappard of Victoria, who Camels residing there, and Shuswap was so arrived here on Saturday, we have obtained called because the Hudson Bay Company used the following intelligence: Mr. S. left French Creek, where he has been for six weeks, only ten days since. The Discovery Company were getting a wheel built. Iu sluicing off some surface gravel to change the course of the creek the compauy took out from 1| to 8 oz. a day of course gold. The Half-breed Company were preparing to get to work. Ship to swap shoes for furs and skins with the Indians. Seymour City is situated at the head of Shuswap lake, and called Sey-mour because there you see 7)iore long fates th»n you do here. I write to cnution you against being led away by false, bad and discouraging accounts of the Big Bend mines. You must know that several men are returning, but re- Bailey andMunro Companies were also makingImember two-fourths of those that return from preparations to go to work properly. ThejSeymour never went into the mines: one- hitter company had taken out pay this season, |fourth of them went there dead broke and but they had got off the lead. Mr. 8. has no doubt whatever that these are all good claims, and that their merits have not been exag gerated. Miners have gone to work for, bed rock pay in them, and there are not a few persons who have money desirous of purchasing into them at a good price, but tho shareholders will not sell. James Oir is sinking a shaft some distance up the creek, and there aro other parties engaged in similar under-j takings. In one shaft bed rock was reached came back the same—why should they grumble?—and the remaining fourth are disappointed miners who found no gold on the top .of the snow, but waited in their tents like the renouned Mr. Micawber for something to turn up. Captain Greenhorn, has just returned, he gives me the fo'- lowing pitiful account of our rich placer mines. Ue sa\ s: Seymour Is awful misewable place. I was there three days and nights at the Hotel de Fizzle, and never got a ptir of New Steamer for the Columbi x.—A letter has just been received in town from Wash Eldrick, engineer of thc steamer Forty-Nine which states that a new steamer is in progress io run from the Little Dulles to the Big Bend mines. The timber is being got out for her, and thc machinery has been ordered from San Francisco. The new boat will carry 125 tons. She will be 25 feet beam, 6 feet in the hold, and of the same power as the Lillooet. The new steamer will be the property of the owners of the Forty-Nine. There would seem to be no diminution in the strong faith which our American neighbors have always entertained in regard to the richness of the new mining region of Big Bend. Sanitary Arrangements.—Now that small pox has made its appearance among the Indians, there should be an inspection of the various Rancheries contiguous to towns in order to have something like sanitary measures carried out in them at once. As a precaution against the cholera as well as smallpox, not a moment should be lost in having instructions issued and properly carried out to effect an object which must tend to preserve the public health. We hope the chief constables of police throughout the country will be instructed to look after this matter without delay. Right.—We copy the following item from the Cariboo Sentinel of the 14th inst.: "We deem it an act of justice to ourselves, to correct the error into which the editor of the British Columbian has fallen, in stating in a late number of his paper that Mr. Wallace sold out his interest in the Cariboo Sentinel for $600; the sum was far moro than that mentioned which we can safely vouch for." Comment is needless. Thk Queen's Birth-Dat.—The citizens of Yale celebrated the birth-day of our good and gracious Queen by the hoistirg of flags of " all nations," and the firing of anvils. A number of ladies and gentlemen made an excursion down the Fraser river in- canoes and spent a very pleasant time at a pic-nic at Emery's bar. The Waggon Road along Cache Creek is submerged by tho Bonaparte river and is impassable for teams. most favorable opinion. A Californian, who got in here on Thursday, states that he was on French aud McCullough's Creeks. Saw nothing there to induce him to believe that the country is very rich. Worked a short time on a bench at the mouth of French Creek, but did not find pay. The snow was deep on the upper part of tliK creeks and no prospecting<:ould be done there in consequence. Thinks it probable that modf rate pay will be found on McCullough's Creek. Is returning to California disappointed with the country. A German who passed through Yale bound for the mines, about two weeks since, returned here on Friday. He is thoroughly disgusted with the country. No gold to be found, mow deep, water rising and provisions dear. Is hastening out of the country. After giving ii most pitiful detail of the mines and the road into them, and exhausting his stock of broken English in denunciations of thc d country, we were induced to ask the gentleman how far up the country he got on his journey ? The reply was—" I ben to Sabana's Ferry." This closed our interview. A blacksmith from Victoria who returned here also gave a most discouraging account of the mines, and actually induced men to return without going a step further than Yale. The sturdy knight of the anvil, it appears from his own admission, never got further than Seymour. An American hailing from Port Gamble on the Sound, got in here on Friday evening from French and McCullough's Creeks. He is a most intelligent young man, and gives the following account: He went up with a partner, thinking he could get on surface diggings that would pay right off. On arriving at the mines he found the 6now very deep and not much work going on. At the entrance of the creeks the snow had disappeared altogether, but as he ascended them it was from two feet to ten feet deep. There were stakes on tho top of the snow all up the creeks for miles. Went over both creeks with his partner and made strict enquiries as to what propects were obtained. Nearly every claim on French Creek that was being worked was pay in-; less or more, some an ounce a day to the hand and others less. The Munro claim paid very well until they found the bed rock pitching. As high as ten ounces were washed up in a day. On McCullough's Creek one shaft had been bottomed and pay found on the bed rock ; did not hear how much had been got, hut the prospect was said to be encouraging. The water in the creeks was beginning to rise, and the snow being deep the men, who had little means, were somewhat discouraged and were leaving. All, however, who had money to buy provisions were determined to stop, as old miners generally like tho country exceedingly and think it will turn out to be all it has been represented the country is rich, and he says he saw coarse gold in tho hands of miners that was taken out this season. He is so well satisfied with the prospects obtained that he left $250 worth of provisions with his partner, who is going to remain all season in the mines to prospect and our informant returns to the Sound to his business so that be may make money to en but no pay found.

And he assured mc for a fact There was no hiring for wages on any of the!tQat on the creeks in the mines be panned creeks, and men going in must turn to pros* peoting. There was u trial going on before Commissioner O'Reilly between McCullough and Clements for the Discovery claim on McCullough's Creek. About five hundred men were in the mines when Mr. S. left, and he thinks they will remain this summer to thoroughly test the mines. He is of opinion that many claims will turn out well this season, but as to the extent of the mines our in on out some two or three pans of snow and only got one color, and that was white. He was taken very seriously hill from the habsenee of any bitter beer. You may just imagine what a fearful place French Creek is. There is not one stone building there, the Italian Opera has refused to piay there, and it is positively rumored that the Prince of Wales will not make his annual visit to the Big Bend.
