As far as we can learn, the objections of the miners to the late proposed grant  of tho meadows lie against the extent of the  ground proposed to be giveii, and tp the inadequacy ol the means of those who offered  to nndertake tlie, working of them.   They  fear that if the; coveted ground were .alien-;  ,.ated it would not be properly utilized, and  they .hope to he able; yet to undertake the  work themselves.; Wei^rust-Iha^hefbrethe  government give.Ahl^AtheL-:--gcd[uiid;t^-������t,: convj  pany they will exact: sucti conditions as will  . ensure, continu oits working,;and; thus 6bviate  all-dissatisfaction.   The welfare of the coun-  - try, aswell as the satisfaction of the minora,  should be considered in the drawing of any  'charter   granting   a  large  'ansa of mining  ground, whether it he the meadows or any  other supposed rich ground in Cariboo.   It  is to be hoped that complete publicity will  he givien to all applications having in view  the possession and use of the public lands.  Had   this  policy been followed in earlier  days tlie numerous complications and difficulties with chartered companies would have  , tho last session: of the Legislative Council,  .-'��������� took a very wise step in this respect. At his  snggeslion a committee was appointed which  was intended to. work in the same manner  with;respect fo..ttiis pplonyias; the parliamentary committee on priyate ^ilisjppe^aleswith  respect to tho^^tec^  private bill is Introduced into the imperial  Parliament it is submitted; to the consideration of the committee on private billsVwhere  it undergoes ai thorough/ investigation,, and  when the public or any in dividual may contest it if deemed ,inj aiip.us to public or private interests;'^'^ts-^'a'Mchlb^tlijBr; plan of  ascertaining the character of a private bill or  charter than that of submittirig'suchL matters  o  the  consideration of a public meeting,  tWhile, then, we regret that the'/ineadows are  still remaining^dle, we- trus$ that complete  publicity will -be; given to^any application  for.a grant of public lands in  the   manner  ab o ve men tioned'." "-;���������       \y  With regard to-supplying Williamcreek  and the neig^brihg creeks with .water, two  things have yet to be determined.   First, the  ���������   practicability of the much-needed work and,  .    next, in what way could a companv he compensated for the outlay of capital."  It is by  :   no raeans/certain.tbat water sufficient to mp-j  ' ply William creek can be obtained by means  or ditches and flumes.   Swift river, which is  suggested as the, source from which water  enough caa be obtained, has not yet been  determined to be large enough at ihe point  where a ditch or flume would have to be  connected with it ; and those who profess to  he able to decide whether that stream would  be amply sufficient for $ supply of water say  that it could only bo made  available   by  means of a tunnel.   A survey would not cost  more than SJ.,090, and the sooner a survey is  made the better.   Next comes the question  of profit.   Suppose a company shall have expended a large amount of money in bringing  water from Swift river, how could they obtain  returns?   By selling the water.,of course.   Is  it certain, however, that!-they could "sell the  water in sufficient quantities to reimburse  them for their outlay ?   Until last jear there  was always water enough in Cariboo, or  nearly enough, for all purposes, arid there  may be again1; /Mining companies would,' of  course,, n o tip pyi water i f th ey d i d: no fc need it.  Sorne sprt of:a guaranteed interest Would- 6e  giveii -li'' '-ai -water' (company. ,..;^gislatiye  enactment might? give such guarantee; In  what way ? There seem s to b e ori 1 y o ne way,  and :that 'Is by, the collectipn pf: a; rent; frorii  eyery cl ai in oh Tth e creeks whi ch; the w ater  company could supply with water, whether  the mi ni ng co mp anles to ok the water o r riot.  The^consent ofl companies ;nbw working  would of* course;; be necessary tO-'such a law  or charter; but lit - mightitorly be made imperative on; conipanies ppiniiig ;irito existence  after the passage of such - law; to ��������� take / the  water or:pay commutation -rates. * In short,  the municipal system with1 respect to water  supply might be applied to the .mines, with  th is d ifference,; that the, modeA pf��������� c b argi ng  should be fixed according .to; the sys tern ..at  present practised by ditch companies-^that  is, by measuring the water by^the inch arid  the time it is used; Supposing the supply of  water to become plentiful "again, as In previous years', would the waterloompany sti 1 i ]  sell sufficien t to give them di vi den ds':? There,  can be no doubt of that. With a largevaiS  ti ficial sup ply, ..of;.', water . co mm an d 1 n g _������������������; h ill'  ground,- a vast area of ground ��������� would "be  worked which now lies idle, and will do so  tip matter, how-large the natural supply may  become. . .'Numerous ��������� hydraulic,. companies  would start into existence. The mining laws  give creek;claims the first right to the water  and thus cut off hill claims from the supply,  and hence the necessity for a large supply ol  water independent of that obtained from the  creeks.

They no iv number 110,-  00,0, arid) of that number 100,000 are,: slaves,  and are routed out by the' companies in  gangs of from 50;to 5.000. their wages being  paid to the agent of the company, who are responsible for the performance of their labor  and for/the return lof the slaves, .dead or  alive, to the Celestial Empire.

Al J  the ; inferior ; work in :the mills; factoriea;  stdres, workshops, etc.,. that is elsewhere  done by apprentides, is done in Sau Francisco by Chinese. While.

From Co tton-  wood house, on the" wag'on road> to the head  of this lake the country.can be travelled over  val 1 ey s. lying much lo wer th an , Wil lianis  Creek, and & wagon road could be easily run  through theih. This information is somewhat  at vanarice with the statement of the Chief  Commissioner of Lands and Works, to the  effect that the; country between Barkerville  arid Tete Jaune Cache is a sea of mountains,  and- therefore nbt adapted for the route, of an  overland road.      ' .  :\  The QuscsNEL River Calamity.���������No information of a definite character has been received since Friday last from the scene of  the great forest fire along Quesnel .river.  Kwong Lee's employees say that in;two or  three days they will learn whether any more  Chinamen have been burned or Dot. It has  been reported freely that about fifty Chinamen have suffered fatally in the fire ; but  this statemeut, we are inclined to believe,  rests only on the supposititious calculation  ���������that about that number of celestials might be  included in. the calamity, owing to the fact  that about 150.men were at work in the  country traversed by the fire.

THE MEADOWS AND WILLIAMS CREEK.  y  f-room on the lower side.  Editor Sentinel :^A great deal has been  said about the Meadows, the miners, and the  parties who propose to obtain a grant "of five  or six miles of mining ground to^ the exclu-  sion of free miners. ��������� I have no objection;; for  one,��������� to allow a company: to take up ar large  slice of the Meadows, but-1 should not like  to see a company; get five of six miles of  mining ground while there is a possibility of  working a large portion of it to advantage.  That it could be worked to advantage, aud .  worked by miners, too, I have no doubt. I  have for several weeks been working the  surface ground of William Creek, arid I find  that it will pay on an average, almost anywhere, about $2 50 per day to the hand. It  is often said, and 1'believe the statement,  that, there is yet as much gold in William  Creek aa there baa evor been taken out of it  With the necessary facilities for working, I  believe that two hundred men could find  profitable employment where not a dozen  are now working. What are these facilities,  and how would such a number of men find  employment?. By the construction of a flume  commencing at Willow river and running up  William Creek. The Meadows may be rich,  or they may not. There is no certainty about  that. It is certain, however, that William  Creek is yet rich in gold, and quite enough  so to make a flume a very profitable piece of  property. It would he the means of bringing  all the idle.grouud into use, and a large number of men would be enabled to work. If  miners, as is said, cannot, for want of means,^ r  undertake to work the deep ground of thr*'^;*  Meadows, it seem3 to me that thev ought to /?���������  be able to work the surface op William creek,f -'  which is now affording employment only to :.  a dozen or so of men. I am satisSedj .from  my own experience in rocking, that no better  enterprise can he undertaken., . .  Rocser.
