The coroner's jury, called to investigate the cause of the Columbian disaster, and which adjourned from the 2nd instant until yesterday, pending a change in the condition of the surviving victims, met yesterday but again adjourned until this afternoon, when it was believed Mr. Winstanley, tlie only survivor of the seven men injured at the time the accident occurred, would be able to,give his evidence.

J._ Taylor, IK. C., of Victoria. The1 Daylight was an attempted re-location of the Starlight, which was in litigation last year with the Buckeye,' the history of which is well known,iii the camp. But, instead of re-staking* the 'Starlight, those employed are said to have staked a portion of the Starlight, a portion of the -. Buckeye .and portions -of the "D" and "Ufistenr"* 'leases, and in doing so they [constructed another new "geometsical ���iig.'i-i-e .of .the 17 dimension. , The funny part of the whole business is" that the ground' staked .as ithe Daylight -had been worked out arid the gold recovered therefrom previous to -the said nocturnal visit, aird-now'the Supreme Court -enters and-grants .an '.injunction agf.1*"'st working'lhe ground.' The old_^ tbv.erb that "the early bird catches the worm'' is exemplified in tlie above particulars. /lining: News. Board .of Trade Meeting.

On motion moved and carried, a vote of thanks was tendered the re-' tiring -president and the secretary was instructed to write Mr. Stables and convey the regrets':of .the board at his resignation as a member of the organization and at his intended departure from the camp. Mr. Stables replied feelingly and expressed . his regrets that his intended move made il necessary for him to sever his -connection with the board.

'It is the intention of the "North Columbia Gold Mining Co. and the Pine .Creek Power Co. Ltd., J. M. Ruffuer, manager, to operate their Pine creek 'hydraulic plants until the 15tli of November this year provided -that the" frost does nat compel them to shut down before that date. Messrs. I-I. Molynea'ux and A. Bcatly, Boulder creek, closed down operations the early part of the week and report having had-most satisfactory returns for their seasons' work. They left on Friday's boat for the outside, Mr. Molyneaux going to Victoria for a few months, while Mr. Beatty will pay a visit to his oltl home at Acton, Out. Both will return in the .early spring for"next year's mining operations, from which they expect even better returns than those obtained this year. We are informed that the Atlin. Consolidated Mining Co., of wlwse operations T. D.

The company will have their crew at work again early next spring and will resume operations just as soon as conditions will permit. . Although it took most of this season to install .and erect the plant, and it was the r5tJi of August before the first gravel was washed, the returns have been very satisfactory and.prove beyond question that the steam shovel and electric clump cat- system is the best method as yet adopted for working the particular kind of ground which this company have acquired, and of which they have sufficient to keep their presettS plant and a large number of iruin employed Say several ...''jea.saiif'.

In commenting an the various remarks from sowe of its conterapor-. aries throughout this great Dominion concerning the rival claims of Labor that writes itself in capitals and is looking out for a soft livelihood at someone else's expense, and the" other kind of labor which is needed to open up, this grand province of ours, the B. C Mining Ex�� change says: , ' MOur position is. what it has always been. For the man who , works, whether with. pick or pen, we have an admiration which,increases with his growing scarcity all over Canadaj for the man who talks about work and never works: who bellows about his rights and neglects his. duties*; who raves at the tyranny of capital, but is. always eager to trample, on everyone weaker than himself*; for this'kind of animal we have no use at,-'all, and ��� have, no.sort of.b^tetiqnjiT telling hina so. We are in favor of having British Columbia opened- up by. white labor;- but, if white labor is too lazy or too. scarce���and,-, it, appears to be both at present���then the country has got to be opened up by any other colored, kind of labor that has sand enough to get in ant\ dig, whether its comple-t^on be brown, black,' yeUow,. salmon-pink or pea-green. And by white fcibo** we mean Eugfeh-^peakwg. white labor. There is no blacke*. shame on Canada's record than the policy which has populated sections. oJ our ���jountry,. as big audi biggs* than ���t-aany an Qlidi-Woiilid kiugdiwu,. with Ijhe disease-stricken sers^fc&otic- hordes of southern Europe,- whUe thousands of good men, English and Scotch, Welsh and Irish.,,were starving in idleness in the mother-laud. The nation that could swallow without blinking Clifford Sifton's naked Doukhobers and, filthy, murderous Galicians,. has. forfeited all right to grate about a pretended desije to keep the Canadian race- puse and unspotted from the-defiling contami- yation of the less favorable peoples ��f this sinful world."'

It is a pitiable truth that very few men ever get rich prospecting. The great majority of the noble followers of the trail do little better than win a grubstake; not a few of them die in poverty. Yet prospecting, despite its poor promise of reward, keeps an army of men" at work. And upon this army depends the success of the mining industry. It is this army of patient, dauntless men that stimulates, that keeps moving the mining business of the world. The greatest battles ever fought arc those iu which this army of meii engage; yet they are fighting them unknown to the.world. It is an army composed ' of soldiers of honest toil, but of martyrs and pioneer's, marching through the unsettled, west, fighting mountains and. making straight the way for others to follow, unlocking the treasure vaults of Nature to increase the riches of the world. ������ While 011J3- 1 in 10 of the ledges located become producers, it is the prospector that finds that one. A .region is never more thoroughly explored than when tramped over by an army of prospectors.. This army is composed of men who will not turn back. There are no crags too steep for them to climb,- no mountain range .too rugged to be scaled.- Prospecting has, - in' late years, been robbed of much ot the romance that characterized lhe gold-hunting ; art iii pioneer ' times. It has been reduced to a more conservative business. . The prospector of today resembles the prospector of 50 years ago only in that he is every hour expecting'to'stumble across a fortune, ��� a veritable'glory-hole filled to the brim with pure gold. Though'' few' men get rich prospecting, there is no denying the fact that this is a good business for the man who follows it on business principle. The "mineral west," so'called, which-is really all of that territory, west of the New England states. and whose eastern border line is each year drawing nearer the Atlantic, affords a splendid field for the real prospector. The districts that were tramped and scratched over half a century ago still afford great opportunities. Tracing,a ledge by "colors" is an easy, matter. When the prospector finds a favorable spot he halts and strikes camp beside a stream.- Then he chooses a course, and following it, pans the dirt and gravel, washing each pan carefully down and scanning the residue for colors of gold. When he strikes good colors he pans again, and if the colors grow brighter with each pan he smiles more happily/for then he knows he is on a trace, to follow which will lead him to a treasure. As a usual thing this simple meth- ed of tracing leads only to placer diggings, though the locating of colors, when combined with float and a general investigation of the country rock and formation, is one way of locating a ledge. This question of "country rock," "contact," "mother lode." "ribbon quartz," "sugar quartz," "diorite," "porphyry," and all the other terms aud expressions known iu mining aud prospecting parlance, will soon become as familiar to the follower of the trail, even though he be a tenderfoot, as is the first.pf the multi plication tables. The close observer, the earnest and'energetic follower of the trail, will soon learn to read from the open book of Nature, as readily and easily as from a printed Page- ; When a ledge is struck the prospector's first task is to ascertain its value. An open cut is made upon it to a depth of 6 or 8 feet, at which depth the two walls of the vein are likely to be well defined, unless the country is badly broken up 011 the surface. The miner picks off a quantity, of fine particles of rock from across the face of the ledge and mortaring them down to a powder, pans the dust or pulp. The amount of colors left in the residue indicates the amount of free gold carried in the quartz. The ore may be rich, however, aud still show no value in colors, the metal being hidden in rebellious sulphides. To ascertain the: ore values in cases of this kind, and' where there is no assay office within, a radius of many miles, the prospector becomes at once his own assayer.' He pulverizes the quartz to a dust, and adds to it one-third as much gun powder ; as there is pulverized- ore.; The whole is then mixed with water and made into a think pulp or paste. The mass is shaped into the form of a cone- and laid - on a flat stone to dry. When dry the point of the cone is fired with a match, aud the mass sputters and burns away until naught is left but a small black and charred ��� metallic button. A little scraping with his jack knife, aud a little polishing on his coat sleeve, will prove the identity of the metal in the button.���D. H. Stovall in the'Miumg'.World. r. . .
