The government at Ottawa have 'disallowed such acts as were passed by this government and refused an amendment to the Grand .Trunk Pacific charter introduced- b/ Mr. Earle, of Victoria, whereby the employment of Orientals was prohibited .The, result is that British Columbia will be over-run during the coming summer,' as the Japanese government has raised the embargo which prohibited emigration from Japan, and advices show that some thousands are ou their, way ..to work on the -construction of ,the Grand Trunk Pacific. Once they are in the country the provincial government has absolutely no power to control their movements in any way. H. E. .Young.

He is looking fine after his holidays. Alex. Alliott, of Spruce, and Pete Gabrio came in over the Fautail Saturday night. Captain Bragg was in town during the week. Pie reports the Scotia as -almost ready to take to the water, though she's still 'on ice.' .Miss Carrie Doelker returned to Atlin on Saturday last after an absence .of eighteen months. Her many friends welcome her return. Saturday's stage: Ed. Helgren, Oscar Wilcox, W. C. G. May, Ed. Telford, Archie Beatty, Jack McDonald, John Stronach, Bruce Anderson, Jack Buchanan and Miss Carrie Doelker. . T. Obalski, manager of Boulder Creek Hydraulic Co., accompanied by Mrs. Obalski, arrived last Saturday; also Georges Krivocha'pkinc, an eminent mining engineer, and Georges Mainnet. Konrad Waw- recka and Joe. Traber brought the party in. It is understood work on Boulder will begin at once. On Tuesday's stage: T. D. Harris, manager of the A. C. M. Co., operating the steam shovel on Tar Flats, and his brother Chas. Harris. George I. Wallace, secretary of the company; H. T. Currie, and M. P. Flanagan, engineers for the shovel; A. J. Bedard, cranesman; and R. A. Merrithew. R. M. Teer, cook for the Scotia. There are two or three places about town where a guard rail at the edge of the sidewalk would be a great help in warding off the possibility of accident. One place is at the Grand, on First., street, aud the other at the head ofthe steps in front of the post office. On a dark night the last mentioned place is positively dangerous. At the public meeting,' held in court room last Monday night, to discuss the Japanese question, there was a very large attendance. Every creek was represented. A chairman and sccre'ary were elected and the discussion was started. After several speakers had expressed their views, it was decided to form a Miners' Association, for the protection of the miners and workers in the district. Walter Cox was elected .president and Chas. T. Baker secretary. A membership roll was started. After that, committees were appointed and ways and means discussed. It was decided to hold a meeting in Discover}' Tuesday night. Tuesday night there was a very large' and enthusiastic meeting in Discovery. Mr. Ruffner was interviewed. Just exactly what has been done.-hy the committee will be known shortly. They are still actively engaged in the work and feel that it will be but a short time till the Japs are 'hitting the trail' with the north wind in their backs. ' Nzw Hydraulic Company. M. R. Jamieson yesterday received a cable from H. Malum stating that: a company had been formed and the money subscribed for the working of Otter creek. Mr. Maluin has been in Paris for time past interesting capital in the venture. It is very gratifying to those immediately interested, and to the people in the district generally, that his endeavors have been successful. The company will"-be known as The Otter Hydraulic Gold Mines Company, and will be under the joint management of M. R. Jamieson and H. Maluin. Mr. Maluin will not be in this season. He is in Spain putting through a large deal in connection with a tin mine. The local management will be in charge of Mr. Jamieson. The property is a large one, running up Otter creek from Surprise lake about five miles. Work will be started immediately. A ditch is to be run for a considerable length, and a dam will be built. No doubt a considerable number of men will be employed. Messrs Maluin and Jamieson are to be congratulated. Edwin Brown, secretary of the Engineer Mining Co., of,Skagway, was charged, ou information of Jas. Alexander, with taking a false oath in connection with the swearing of the assessment work on the Hope claim, one of the claims comprising the Engineer Group. Afler hearing part of the evidence the case was remanded eight days. Bail was fixed at $500 J. A. Fraser, magistrate. One of our citizens in the district, who occasionally- wipes the dishes for his wife became tired ofthe job and refused, saying that "it was not a man's work." Not feeling disposed to lose his help she brought the bible out to convince him of his error and -read as follows, from II Kings 21:13: "Aud will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.'T It. is hardly necessary to state that he still is doing his usual stunt. Some of the other good housewives arc seaiching the Scriptures trying to find something bearing ou getting up and lighting the fire, splitting kindling, carrying in wood and keeping the water barrel filled. :, FOR SALE���Reasonable price.

Sheppard, Atlin. >���������� It wasn't a Missouri editor but a printer's devil who -was going through his first experience on "making-up" forms. Thepaper was late and the boy got the galleys mixed. The first part of the obituary notice of a, nee. t'iioii<- citizen had been dumped iu the forms, and the next handful of type came off a galley describing a recent fire. It read like this: -"The pallbearers lowered the body into the grave and as it was consigned to the flames there were few if any regrets, for the old wreck had been an eyesore to the town for years.' Of course there was individual loss, but that was fully covered by insurance.'" The widow thinks the editor wrote the obituary notice thai way because the lamented partner of her joys ard sorrows owed him some back subscriptions. A. Natural Query. - Robinson had been down to the club with a few of the boys, and when he proceeded home his gait was slightly unsteady. His tu".,]- tank was a little bit befuddled. Ou arriving.at his home he proceeded with the utmost caution to let himself iu. 'ft was about 3 a. m., and all was still. The keyhole .seemed to be moving about in a most erratic maimer but finally he managed it. After getting inside il appeared to him as if the furniture had been put in strange places. First he collided with a hall chair and apologised. Next the table with a flower-pot careened over; tin's time there was no apology, instead it was something in a hoarse whisper. Tlist as he was about to make one more heroic attempt to mount the stairs his wife's voice was heard in tones of enquiry: "George, is that you?" George'.siBigliiened himself up and answered, as dignified as he possibly could under the^circumstances: "Cert'uly, m' dear, did you expect anybody else?" ATLIN, B.

The Question of Lhe Flour. The invasion ofthe Atlin district by the Japanese under the auspices of J. M. Ruffner, manager of the Pine Creek Power Co., is tlie burning question of the hour. That the greater majority of the people do not want the 'little brown men' is very evident. Adverse comment and strong- expressions of disapproval come from all sides. The Japanese come in here to work for a' lesser wage than the white man, and, the chances are, they will be paid off at the expiration of ' the labor contract time. They do not spend their money in the country the same as the white. They do not live the same as the white. And, even .if they wished, the would nol be allowed to mingle socially. Would we care to see our women married to Japanese; would . the women themselves fancy the alliance? Well, if the white men are diiven out by the Japauese, it will be a sad slate ot affairs. Surely they are a detriment to the community and an alarming menace to the interests of the white race. The excuse for the importation of these objectionable people is, that labor was scarce and even those who were here could not be depended upon to stay throughout the season. Such a statement sounds a wee bit out o' tune. Other companies operating in the district had not the slightest difficulty in getting all the men they required. And, what is more, kept them throughout the entire seascn. Strange to say these self-same men are back in camp to seek employment with the same companies they worked for last year. Providing tlie wages are up lo the camp standard and the manager treats his men justly there will lie no scarcity of help. A man of -that stamp has the pick. While the other fellow, well, as Paddy says; "comparisons are odorous." Considering the question broadly: They should not be allowed to enter the Dominion of Canada. There are millions ol Japanese crowded into a very limited space in their own land. Since the edict issued by the Mikado that the Japanese might not leave their native land has been annulled, thousands are preparing to migrate. Tlie United Slates has closed ils'doors. Canada i.s the onI3" 'laud'of promise' open to them in North America, and to Canada they will assuredly come, if there are no steps taken to prevent them. , - ' ^ The population of the Dominion promises lo increase by almost a million during the next year. -The influx from the United Kingdom is estimated at some 300,000. Added to this there will be thousands fro.tn European countries and the United Stales. Such people arc of a class wc most desite lo populate our fair land with. They hi ing their small savings, their wives and children, aud, casting in their lot with us help lo build up a sound, strong and mighty empire. Will any reasonable person-say that the Japauese will do this? It is hardly likely. Out'of British Columbia every year goes thousands of dollars, sent home by the Asiatics. The object is to get as much as possible out of the country. It is a perpetual 'bleeding process. The state of California, for self- protection, was forced to shut out the Japanese. They were getting control of the labor market. In one of the most fertile valleys, we are told, they were masters of the situation, and the whites had to 'knuckle under.' They would make j an offer to recover the season's crop aud if refused they would boycott the owner. In more than one instance thousands of dollars worth of fruit rotted ou the trees because there was no one to pick it. Let no one imagine for a moment that the Jap is a tame and docile creature, to be herded here and there with impunity, and to be treated as a mere chattel. Such an idea is absurd. The Japs are no fools. On the contrary they are bright and intelligent. They are here for a purpose. They are intensely patriotic and united in a common bond. A foothold or an entrance is what they desire. To obtain this they will work for low wages and do most anything to get a start. Once their goal is reached they will be in a position to dictate, aud it will be a sorry day for Canada and the Canadians when they work under Japanese rule.

There aie some ' 1:0 uuiri <_���.-> which spring-at once into notoriety,-and are successes from the finding* of the first "float" like Cobalt, and there are others' wliich have their preliminary fliilleis, their subsequent.period of compai alive neglect ami their ultimate ^revivals, or second births, like Caribr>o. Cassiar belongs lo the same class as Cariboo, which it resembles a good ileal iu character and history. Between them they make up the northern half of British Columbia, .and the gold we find in both is found on ancient liver channels, probably belonging to the pre-glac- ial period. Like Cariboo, Cassiar had its early rush of . "cream skimmers," poor but energetic .individual miners, who fought their way into the country in spite of all difliculties of transportation, found gold, and dealt with the richest aud most obvious deposits of it successfully, and when they had exhausted .the very richest spots which alone could pay . under such conditions as they had to contend with, abandoned the ���country until the era of companies, hydraulic mining, and Guggcii- heimers should arrive. In Cassiar iu 1873, Thibert and McCullough and .others, . located chums upon Dease creek, Thibert creek and McDames, aud from these the pioneers, and a few thousands of similar character took, with the rudest appliances, some $4,500,000 worth of gold dust; at least the' government collected upon that amount, though how much more was won must be a matter of conjecture. In those early days, men went by steamer lo Wraogel Irom Victoria; thence by canoe or over the ice up the Stickine for 150 miles, thence they had to pack over a forest trail of 72 miles, boat across Dease lake aud climb in from there to the various creeks upon which their claims were located. - Tne whole of a normal, season today is only 150 days', but luckily it is not difficult to mine for the whole 24 hours of each'day, aud the difficulties of frozen ground, big boulders and cement are for the most part absent. Under such conditions it is not wonderful that the first excitement soon subsided, and by the early eighties the country about the Stickine settled down lo its primeval silence. Then once again the cry was "gold," this time in the Klondike, and British Columbia had the chance of its life, and missed it, because the senate of the clay was afraid that Messrs. Mann & Mc- Kenzie might make too good a thing out of their grant of snow and : ice in return for an all-Canadian route, which would have given our coast towns the trade which has built Seattle. About this time various smaller 'companies sprung into existence, the Cassiar Central Railway Company, which proceeded Mann & McKeuzie, and also ended in disaster; the Casca Trading & Transportation Company, which went out of business without a debt and ivithout a nickel, setting a good example perhaps of business morality, and affording au'example ofthe unwisdom of trying 10 rival the old Hudson Bay Company���and some others. Kventually, when everybody had lost all the money they had to lose, some ol ihe members of these companies got hold of a piece- of property on lease on Thibert'crcck and settled down to learn mining. The adventures would furnish material for a Ballantyue for life, and what they don't know about the difficulties of ti anspoi latiou aud the charms of opening a vast hydraulic property without working capital (assisted fortunately by contributions from the sluice boxes), i.s scarcely worth consideration. All that nature could do for us except as to transportation, had been done. No one need want a belter dump, and in the other essentials of hydraulicing, we were fortunate, but we had our business to learn, and every experiment -we made showed that our deposit was larger than we had ever dreamed, and richer, in that, iu addition to the coarse gold for which we were mining, we had a good deal of fine gold and a very considerable quantity of osmiridium,, of the value of which we had at first no'knowledge. All this had been going into the dump. Today the property consists of ten leases of Sco acres each in one continuous body, fronting Thibert creek'for 15,000 feet. The net result of the operation to date are: We have opened and equipped our mine thoroughly up- to-date, and in the intervals of opening and equipping, have managed to do 150 days of actual washing for gold, although a very great deal even of' thai lime we have been washing the least remunerative top gravel, but iu those 150 days, which is just one normal season, we have taken out $63,000. Had we prospected the pockets of Ihe public and handsomely advertised our property wc might have done better still, but as an example of what may be taken out of the gravel itself by hard work and such persistent energy as has been displayed, for instance, by our managing director (who is also our head piper), Mr. Warburtou Pike, this is perhaps not bad. Besides the Berry Creek Company there are two other hydraulicing companies in Cassiar; but these are still iu their initial stages, and when the day comes for dealing with lode mines, i.e., when Cassiar has some transportation facilities, it will be found that the pioneers of the country have their stakes upon some rock which would not be sneered al iu any mining camp. g|It will be observed that in this article no allusion,has.been made to the .Atlin country, which is, of course, a portion of Cassiar. This is a wilful omission.' Atlin is sufficiently well known to the public and is rapidly making itself a good reputation. It lias the start in the race. It will do well il it leads or is in sight ot the Stickine country at the finish. Good luck lo them both.-���Clive Phillips-Wooley, in The Canadian Mining Journal. in <��!7m* ���fi Jp Jf> ci* *�� -jP txcastsstiEzv.

SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1907. Presentation. Monday evening- last a committee representing the Sunday school and managers of St. Andrew's Prcsby- lerian church waited on Mrs. C, R. Bourne and presented her with an address and a handsome brooch. The brooch is made up of small nuggets into the design and shape of a maple leaf. The delicate tracery of the veinsof the leaf is worked out with a most artistic effect, and is but another evidence of the skilled workmanship oi Mr. Jules Eggert. Following is the address;��� ' "On the eve of your departure for Victoria, the Board of Managers and the Sunday School of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, take this opportunity of wishing you Godspeed and a safe return. Some months ago, when we were iu difficulties, no organist being available for our church, you, at considerable inconvenience, to yourself, volunteered to come to our assistance, and we have found you ever ready and willing at all times to lielp us not only in our regular services, but in the work of the Sunday School aud by' assisting in the various other church functions. As a token of our regard and a partial recompense for'your services we would ask yon lo accept this small gift, 'and we hope your visit to the coast will be pleasant and profitable. Committee: M. R. J. Reid, R. B. Anderson. The same evening Mrs. Bourne was presented with a very beautiful locket, by her friends and admirers in the district as a mark of their appreciation of her contributions of music at the concerts and socials during the past season. A farewell dance was given lo Mrs. Bourne last Tuesday evening. They was quite a number present and all enjoyed themselves. Mrs. Woods played some new and entrancing dance music.
