Last winter fully 87,000 in coarse gold and nuggets was secured by about 20 miners, using the gold pan and shovel only. This was taken from off a false bedrock, about four feet from the surface. This fa] se bed rock was composed of a cemented glacier sediment. Many an argument occurred amongst the miners as to whether the sediment was formed previous to or after the run of gold.

Shortly after four o'clock on Thursday afternoon a wind storm struck the town, that almost proved the wreck of the steamers Illecillewaet and Lytton, together, with their scow. The storm at first sight did not appear to be anything more than a pleasant breeze; but.it freshened in a few minutes into a miniature cyclone and speedily lashed the surface into frothing billows. McDonald's boat house, at the foot of Slocan Avenue, was quickly demolished, but the boats were saved. The Lytton and scow were moored in the cove to the west ot the wharf, unloading rails preparatory to returning at once to Revelstoke. Tlie wind struck the steamer full on the broadside, just as Capt. Nesbitt was endeavoring to steam out. But she had no room to turn and the boat refused her helm. In a tryce she was cast against a tree, smashing it off, and tlien beat on to the driftwood inshore.' Signals of distress were sounded by-' the whistle and nearly„the whole population turned out to render assist. ance. The fire was at once drawn and the boiler blown off. Guy ropes were run out and the capstan manned to pull the stern off shore, as the wheel was getting smashed. . The waves dashed the steamer about like a piece of cork, breaking the guards on one side, staving "a hole in tlie upper works, and casting loose the smoke stack,' which threatened to wrench the0 boat in-pieces. Fortunately the wind subsided else tiie Lytton would have been a total wreck. Later on in the evening tiie Kootenay steamed over, in a half squall and towed the Lytton over into the bay, where she was at once hauled out and t" e repairs commenced. By Sunday morning, she was in a position to- steam out, though her upper works are still somewhat out of plumb. The company's big scow, lying alongside the rail racks, had several large holes jabbed in its side by pounding against the end of the cross irons. When the .wind ceased, it was hauled out, new timbers put in and the seams re-caulked. Its bottom remained secure, not taking iu a drop of water. ■«.'.'...'. Further down towards the, mill, the Illecillewaet was moored, and she was threatened with destruction by the logs from the mill boom dash- in g against her. She suffered bu • little. All three crafts had narrow • escapes. *-.*._■•£■ \2**? i**yji—«*»*
