A public mooting was held at I.il
looct on the 8ili iust., B. S. Patera
occupied the chair and G, B. Guthrie
noted ns secretary. Tho chairman
explained that iho meeting hid beet)
culled to give lhe residents an opportunity to express their views on some
of tlio important topics that would
likely come bo-lore tbo legislature
during tho coining session in which
the residents of Lillooet are deeply
interested. :
It. Hoey addressed tbe meeting
giving liis views as to tbe re-juire-
meuts of the district gen.rally. He
referred particularly to tbe urgent necessity of a wagon rond from Lytton to
Llllooet, he believed that tbe government was anxious to do all they possibly could to assist in developing
tbe resources of the province and believed it was only necessary to show
the government that tbe road was
really needed nud it would be constructed. A. \V. Smith, M. P.P., J.
R. Williams and others addressed the
meeting on various subjects and the
following resolutions were proposed
nnd adopted unanimously
Resolved, that it is the opinion oi
tbia meeting that a wagon road ia
urgently required bo as to give Lil-
Inor-t cheap and speedy communication with the railway at Lytton. We
therefore request our member A. W.
Smith to use bis utmost endeavors to
induce the government to undertake
the renstruction of a wagon road
from Lytton up the Fraser river to
Lillooet at the earliest possible
moment.
Resolved, that wc are of the opinion that- no person or corpnration
should bo allowed to have tho free
use of the puiilio roads of the province for the purpose of using traction
engines on them as it will cause a
largo increase in the cost of road repairs and seriouBly injure some of tbe
best industries of tbe province.
Resolved that in yiew of the large
number of mining leases that have
beeu granted by tho government on
the Fraser and other rivers on which
oo work is done, wc consider that the
government should insist on the
leases carry out the conditions of tbo
lease, or it should be cancelled and
give others a chance to work the
ground.
Resolved that we consider tho payment of five dollars for a freo miner's
certificate by men who work for daily
wages in the mines is a hardship, and
we request our member to try to get
tho mining act so amended that only
those who bold mining interest by
purchase or location shall bo required
to take out free  miner's certificates.
Resolved that wo considor tho
practice of jumping claims on account
of Boine technicality that the locator
may happen to overlook, is dishonorable and dishonest und should bo discountenanced by ull woll wishers of
the mining industry iu British Columbia.

The holidays have command gnno and
many a man has pledged himself tn a better year—lo leave the wine cup alone) but
bow often has this been dune, to be only
a failure. Human natureis radically
frail, und addicted to sins of coinmissh'ii
nud omission.
A dance was enjoyed at tbe Pioneer
Hall. Mr. J. 3. Place, ofthe Dog Creek
Hotel, gave a free supper. Sprine House,
as usual, was well represented. The great
drawback to thc participants was tho lack
of snow, there buin_; no sleighing. Slill,
some of our young men were determined
to get to Pioneer Hall wilh girls. Since
then it is reported that tbe blacks*)! I Ik has
been kept pretty busy shoeing sleighs.
Soiub of thctollows bad to borrow sleighs
in order to get their sweet hearts home.
Others could not take their girl's burses
but others who bad four horses,-fee, were
always nn band.
A mass meeting of the Dog Creek young
men took place last night for the purpose
of forming nu athletic association. The
club Is formed nud by-laws made. I have
no doubt tbe Dog Creek Athletic, Club
Association will grow and flourish. Mr.
V. Kirk pal rick was elected president and
,1. N.J.Brown seeroiary and Irea-uirer.
The club propose tn represent Ihomselvcs
woll at the Onward Itiuioh sporU nexi 4lll

need to "sprint up," ur the Dog lies will
carry all before them. The Association
will hold Its first annual ballon fhe 18lh

Tbe weather still continues mild with

THE PIONEERS Of? B. C.
One section <«f a elit-ut of men that
will (io Uow ii in history an tlio pioi.ee
of Br'tiah Columbia, nml ns such a
cntitlo-l to nil linnnr, met at Aslieroft
for their inin.ial dinner on Moii'lii ■
eroding tlie 13th. A gluncR at the
ru-TRed faces and finely built frames
cf ih*»»o men oa ii rule indicated ability.
i itegrhy' and nobility as the characteristics shown by these men for th* past
thirty-live years. 'Tis truo that
many fo ma are not as stalwart as of
yore, and timn has left its mark on
lhe faces of tho pioneor, but thnt lm
heart is as warm and his dis position
ns generuos, a night spent around tho
festive board will abundantly bIiow.
The most of tlieuo men have acquired
if not a competence at least enough
of Una worlds goods to live on in the
plain ami unostentatious way that
thoy prefer, Somo imvo Hot been
even thus fortunate or farsight cm!
enough, but it is to their credit that
none of tbe members of the Yale-
Lillnoet Pioneer Society can have
the finger of enquiry pointed in suspicion  against them or have it said
-ith
any
degree of truth that any
member has accumm.ilated wealth at
ihe expense of his honorable reputation or by opressing or taking n**;,
mean advantage of his position, as a
long time resident of t!it* province
and of the opportunities that some
men would have found for acquiring
wealth unscrupulously. That thoy hove
tho rc.pcct and esteem of their
neighbors und follow ol .tains is a
fume more satisfactory than wealth
or position oottld give them. All
honor to the pioneers of Yale and
Lillooet, may the evening of their
day prove calm and pleasant, and when
gono to join tlie silently majority, it
will be eulogy enough to write above
them "A Pioneer of British Col
umbta.".	
" Those Bl$ Horns"
Editoii ov Tins Mining Jo.rx.m.,
Sir: I notice in your issue of the
28th, ultimo, 4 letter Irom Mr. J. N.
i. Brown referring to W.F. Burton's
remarks in tho Colonist on the
slaughter or big horn by Indians, and
as one who 1ms paid considerable attention to the preservation of game
iu this country I should liko to say a
few words upon the subjaet,
Mr. Brown may bo correot in saying in thi. part of the counlry tho
Indians have not beon instrumental
in causing tho decrease ol tho sheep,
but nevertheless it is a well known
fact that the .beep country to tho
south of the C. P. tt. has boon almost
denuded of t-tieep chiefly by Indiana
nml profession nl bead-hunters, and 1
cannot agree wilh Mr. Brown that it
is tr-e sporting tourist or visitor to
tho province to whom the responsibility should be attached for the disappearance of this animal.
I contend that a mun who will
tfravel thousands of miles and spend
.hou?nnda of dollars to get a shot at a
bighorn, if, ninety-nine times out of a
hundred too good a sportsman to
wantonly dostroy game by which ho
cannot benefit,
The game which these visitors destroy is a mere bagatelle, many of
them would not look twice nt anything less than a fourteen inch head
and others would not even waste
their time upon that. They all know
that good heads Hre few and far between and the visiting sportsman is
well aware that to fire his rifle for a
-small head may loose him a really
good one.
Mr. Brown's sneering remarks
about taking the "scalp,-1 by which
1. suppose he means " head," must he
tfuu, I think, to ignorance cf the sub-
jeot. A Bportfttnan-s sole object is to
obtain a good head which he can retain as au enduring trophy of his en-
diiiHiice. perseverance and skill
does no", go out for meat, if he
he would simply shoot the first own
or lamb he came across and certainly
not waste his time ovor v_ma which
as a rule are not worth tlo cooking;
neither does he want the hides, for
tho hide of a mountain sheep is u
thing to be despised oven by the Indians.
Now who will say that a noble
mm has not served its end when it
falls to the rifle of some hunter win
for months, perhaps years has
dreamed of bringing down a mighty
big horn, and who has traveled perhaps 7,000 miles and endure.
ics? privatfoui
animal amutig the rooks tied ntoiin-j
tains of its home? At least he gains
his desire and the beast lies dead at
Ins feet, almost reverently will lit*
cut off tho bend well down to thi1
shoulders, and carefully will he br'n*.
it into camp. What cures hn fur a
few pounds of meat, which at best
would only servo Inr it few meals Ilia
little camp! Has he not something
which will endure for all time, and
upon which bo will look with pleasure
the remainder of his days?
Then again Mr. Brown in wrong
when he ii.scits that Indians only
kill for meat, 1 Imve ntysoli seen Indians kill door for tlio shin and fat
only, and that they frequently du
this is too well known a fact to disr-
Tho Indians of Lillooet and
this district may not kill sheep for
their heads but if they do not it is
simply because tho garni* is not worth
the caudle, as there is opt yet sufii
tout demand, but if an Indian can
make money by obtainining heads fur
the dealers, and the law permits him
to do so, no ono can blmu. him for
doing it.
Let us not then lay too strong a
charge upon the Indian, but rather
revile those persons who, while lack
ing the energy and endurance necessary to obtain bunting trophies for
themselves*, must Btiil have them to
adorn their halls and libraries, and so
go not t.i the wild* but to tho dealers
shop. These arc tho people who by
their patronage nnd ottcourttgemetil
of the head dealers aud his agents
have been the cause of denuding
many n district of its oneo swarming
herd, of wild animals.
From the onward inarch of civilization also, it is tho    fate   of   all    wild
animals to suffer, and thoy will over
be driven back   furthor  and  further
from tho beaten Irack; sti'l man has
devised wise laws which assist in re-

An Aged Cypress.
The cypress of Montezuma, near
the city of Mexico, is 44 feet iu girth,
and its ag-y is nstimatod at !$f) centuries. In thc churchyard of Santa
Maria del Thulo, iit thc Mexican
state of Oxaoa, is a cypress which
measures 11-2 fnot in circumference,
and is without a sign of decay.
At Piilinquo are cypresses growing
among tho ruins of the old cit>,
whoso streets they may have shaded
[ll the days of its pride. By the
usual methods, a writer in the Nuri.b
American Review calculates tho cv-
prr-ss at Santa Maria del Thule ai
5,125 years, or if it grew as rapid)v
during its wholo life as similar trees
grow when young, it waul I still be
4,034 years ol 1. -This can hardly be
correct, as in Mexico trees ofton
make two growths in a single year,
showing a distinct ring for each
growth. This would slill leavo the
tree from 3,000 to 2,500 years old,
which would nuke it younger than
tho great Sequoia* of California,
which are from 300 to 3,500 years
old.
A Floating Gold Mine Camp.
I_. II. Lewis is about to launch a
bout on Snake river, Idaho, that will
be a veritable floating mining camp.
Tliero ie a stationary engine nnd
boiler which weigh 2-1,000 pound,
Iredges, cranes and pumps of all
sizes and descriptions. On thc boat
s a good boarding and lodging
house intended to accommodate 50
miners. This mechanical battery
will move up and down Snake river,
working the channel and banks for
gold. The scheme was tried on a
small scale beforo and proved successful. Th. launching takes place
at Fromnn's Ferry, about fifteen
miles from Caldwell.

About lliu olnse ol ihe Inst century
ibis pint or the counlry was sparsely populated, nnd Ouk island wns without an inhabitant. In 1"03, llireu mun—Smith,
M'Gtnnis and Vaughn—visited the Utand,
and while rambling over lho eastern pun
uf it, came lo a spot of which the Unu.uill
nnd strange conditions at oneo attracted
tbelr nttuiitiiHi, Vaughn himself, who was
only a lad of 10 at this tinie, subsequently
ted those I acta tn Kobuit Creelman,
.slill lives at Uppoi Blewlcake, Nova
Scotia, and who was alterwarj tho tuana
coinpniiy formed to recover tbe
treasure. This spot bad every appcarauec
of having beon cleared many years before
Ktil clnv.i and other plants altogether
foreign to the soil in its natural state were
growing. Near the renter stood h large
out* tree wil ll marks und figures on it'.
trunk. One of the lower and large
branches of ihis, tlio outer Phil oi which
hiid been sawed oil. projected directly
over tlie center ol a diiop circular (lepiua-
sloil In tbe land about 13 lout in diameter.
These and other signs shortly nfter led
the three men named to com men oo work
Ariel'digging a lew feel, lliey round thai
they were working in a well dell.ieil Blind,
the wall <<f which were Imrd acd solid,
ami it is said that in sum. places old pick
marks were plainly lo bu semi, while with-
these walls the earth Was so louse that
picks wero not required. On rcaeUnga
depth of 10 feel they came to a covering of
oak plunk. Tlicy kepi on digging, until
a depth of thirty feel was reached, finding
marks at each tun feet. At ibis poinl the
work proved lo be loo heavy fur them.
After an Interval or six or seven yevrs, r.c-
eountB of die wonderful discoveries had
spread over Ihe province, and Dr. Lynda,
•i young physician or Truro, Nova Scotia,
visited lhe island and interviewed Smith,
Vaughn and M'Oinuls. On lilis return to
Truro a company was Termed for tlie pur
p.-ia.ul c'liilinulngtltesoarcli. Work wus
at once resinned by this company, and the
halt was excavated to a depth of ninety-
live feel. Marks were found every ten
feet as before, and n\i iron bar was frequently used in taking soundings. The
ninety.fool mark waa a flat stone about
ttuve iVet long and sixteen Incbes wide.
On it murks or characters had been cut.
Afterward it Was was placed bl lhe jamb
of a lire place that Smith was building
In bis bouse, and while lliem wn. viewed
by many people. Years afterwards it was
taken oul of (he chimney and removed io
Halifax to have, if possible, the characters
ditolpliuroil One expert (rave his readiug
oflhe Inscription to be: "Ten feet below
are two million pounds buried.' I _Iv_
liis stuli-nient fnr what it is worth. Until
ihe depth of 05 feet was reached no water
liml beeu encountered. It was Saturday
evening when this depth had been
reached. When llio men returned thu
shal't was fuuud lo be full of water within
BJ) or SO feet Irom Ibo lop. It was Ihen
decided losluk a new shaft a few feel to
thc cast of tho old pit, known a. the
'money pii,'to lhe depth of HO toot, but
water again camo in. A now company
was formed, and operations wero rostimed
at the nid stand Dlgglm; was enmmonced
and went on without Interruption until
tbe dept of OB feet had been reached, when
Lho water again put in tin appearance,
and tho men were driven out of the pit,
Shortly after men with boring apparatus
of primitive description, uiud lu prospecting lor coal, wore sent to tho island. The
boring started, the platform was struck
at 08 foet, just as the old dUijers lound it
when sounding with the iron bar. After
going through this platform, which was
five inches thick, and proved to ha spruce
the auger dropped twelve, incbes, and
then went through four inches or oak;
then it went Ihrongh twenty two inches nf
metal in places, bul the auiror failed to
lake any nf ii In except llireu links resembling an lilioiont watch chain.
In the next horlnu; thu platform w«
strnr.k as before at nlaely-elglu'feott pus-
sing llirough this, tbo auger fell about
eighteen inches and came in contact with,
as supposed, tbe side or a .ask. Thc flat
chisel revolving close to lho side of a cask
gave it n jerky and irregular motion. On
withdrawing tho auger, several splinters-
of oak, such ns might come from the suit:
of an <*mk stave, and a small quantity of a
fibrous substance closolv resembling the
husk or a coconut were brought up
Nat satisfied willi the result of tho lasl
boring, another crow was sent to make
further investigations, with practically lhe
same result as before. Work wns not resumed until the .following summer, 18.0,
whon anew shall was sunk at thc west
si'le ofthe "money i>it" and about ten feet
from It. Tills shift was 100 feet deep,
when the water burst in, but lhe discovery
wan made that tho waler wns salt, and
lhal it rose and fell In both shtlttB about
18 inches corresponding with llic tides.
It was considered extremely improbable
tlmt the flow of water camo through a
natural channel, and IT not through a natural it must he through tin artlllohtl one,
having Us Inlet somewhere on the shore.
Acting on this theory, a search was nt
once begun in order to find such nn Inlet
i. mi til's Cove, on Ihc eastern end of the
island  and   about  thirly rods from thc
li resembling the husk nf n uoen«
nui, and when eoi/.pared with   ibe  plant
lint was bored out ot   Uio ' innije-v i It' ui
(liif.renc!. lu the two could be d.lccleil,
It  was  fuuud   impracticable  to retnovi
tli-*.-!e rucks and hialtu further Invesilgalioi
unlcsB the tide *fis kept ImcK.   Accordingly a collerdam was built nrmuid this
part of the cave, including the bound
'ml an unusually high lido overflowed the
top ul' the dam, and as it had not been cou*
stiuuti'd io rcsii-t pressure from the Inside
when the tide recoiled it was can led away.
Ollici pits   wero dug. hut they, too, soon
filled   with   water, and   for   the lime lhe
work was given up.   It  is  perfectly evident thai Ihu great* mistake llins  far hn3
been in attempting to ball out tlie ocean
through various pits.   Our company uses
modern appliances for culling oil' the flow
or water throngh iho tunnel, nt  a  point
near the shore.    We are getting on finely
with the work and IVnm thc present out-
look it wt.n't bo mnny months betorc thi
secret of the ' money pit ■ is solved." That
is the story of Oak Island—*one sine nf it.
There is another side, a story of elalrvoy
ants   and  divining  rods being called in
play to loc;.lc the mythical treasure.    It
story, thn, of ironical  tin ilea, scoffing,
eau hints  about  smnu  men making a
good thing oul of a bole in the grouud
but it's juat us well nol lo Ull it.

Among Towering Wavet-
The British steamer Iiuta, from Port Au
Prince, which was reported lost, arrived at
Halifax thc other day. Capt. Hopkins
snys that in all bis experience he never encountered such weather. They had lo battle with hurricanes and heavy seas
throughout lho voyage. The vessel was
under water up to the rails almost all or
tho outward aud inward trips. Two days
after leaving Halifax, while making good
headway in thc heavy sens, Capt. Hopkins,
who was on tho bridge, saw a tremendous
sea coming toward him, und realizing that
it would likely break over Ihe ship, be
tried to secure a place of safety, but did
not have time to do so, and as tho wave
reached him lie grabbed the hand rails and
ducked hia head. The wave lowered
above ibem as it struck ihc ship and then
broke right over ibe vessel, tons of water
falling on the deck. The deckhouse wns
stove in and the cabin flooded. Tho ven-
lllatoiswcro waabud iiwayaudtbe iron
rails were twisted liko pipe stems. The
door of tin- whcclhouse was smashed in
and tlie man nt the wheel was knocked
dowu aud carried undrr lho gear. He
had a narrow escape.
Captain Hopkins narrowly escaped
death when a- huge wave struck htm and
lifted htm bodily nnd carried him com*
plctdy over Uterulia or Uo bridge and
landed him under ono ot thc boats. He
gratped lho rail with his arm. A f«w

No one has ever given more graphic
sketches of Lee and Stonewall Jackson, than Lord Wolaelfly can give,
as the French say, between tlie pear
mid iho cheese, and his stories of the
Crimea, tho Indian mutiny, of wars in
China and Africa, aro hardly to be
equalled. Let 111 take tho Or
story first, promising solely that
memory, however vivid is not a plio-
nogrupli, and in this in_tf»nci_. it ii
carnleas of incidental details, which
add little but local color to tha picture. Tlie tale was elicited by aqucs
tion whether Lord Wolaoley knew
Charles Gordon in tbe Crimea, and
what he thought nf htm.
'"Ohyca,! knew Gordon—knew
him very well. We were subalterns
together; young fellows, just begin*
ling lit'-, full of spirits and go. In
pile of all the hardships, tlio road
beforo us aoemed bright, interminable, always leading upward. Gerald

and when li« w-is relieved tn the eve

out of it on to the open ground and

Sut the Russians wero too astonished
at tbia piece of eheok to take an*,
stops to prevent it, but aa it, was repeated again and again, ihelr sharp*
shooters crew uuue numerous, till at
ia.t a perfect raub of them w ',1 to
wait fur his appearance nnd then lot
fly. But lie walked away with his
back to thfim evening after evening,

touched. Again and again we re
monstrated wttlvhim, told him he had
no bu-.ir.e9-t to make a cock-shy of
imself, but nothing we could pay
altered hi*1 resolution, 'He'd be hung
before he'd take the trouble to crawl
quarter of a mile to avoid the Russian Gre—let ili-on shoot aud bt*
,mncd to them.'
'And you,' we asked, interrupting
the narrator; 'how used you to go to
your tnntV'
Oh,'he went on modestly, with a
vein of humor in his voice; lI crawled
along the tren h in the mud and
(•lush till 1 waa well be ond gunshot.
I. suppose my disposition waB calcu
lining aud ambitious. I did not see
what could be taken by getting a
bullet in ilie back for no reason.
'And Gordon?* again wo interrupted.
That's the curious part of it,1 was
tho reply. 'One evening Charlie
Gordon *w__Id link arms wilh Graham, and walk away as if a rainstorm
<>f bullets hid no power to hurt him,
aud tbo very next evening he would
crawl along the trentilt after me as if
he would liko to hide in the slu.h.-
'Uy tho way, talking of tight
places and war correspondents, I remember an incident that may inter-
oat you. It was at tho beginning of
tbe Ashanti campaign just after wo
tiad landed. A square built little
man came up to me and said, speak*
ing slowly and with an unmistakable
American accent,
'General, allow mn to introduce
myself*. I am the correspondent of
the NAw York Herald.    I—-
To busy to attend to him I cut him
short with,--
♦Wliat can I do for you, sir!'
He replied imperturably, with tbo
same exasperating slowness,
"Well, General, I want to be as
near you as I can if there ia any
fightin' to be seen.1
'Capt. bo and so has charge of all
arrangomenta concerning war oorres-
pondents,'! returned curtly, 'you hud
better see him.1 And with this I
turned on my heel and went about
my business.
I saw no more of my correspondent with the aggravating coolness
and slowness of speech for many a
day. I did not know whether he was
accompanying the column or not.
Personally speaking, I waa only iii
danger onoo during tho whole expo
dition. It was shortly before wo entered Coomassie. I had pressed for
ward with the advanced troops, hoping to break thc lnst effort at resistance and havo done with tho affair
when the enemy, utilizing the hoavy
covert, came down and fairly aur-
rounded us. For a few moments tlie
pos'tion was critieul, and ove y man

poured in at close quarters. They

to edge closer, hoping to get hand to

twenty rods nhaud tif me, and who
was completely surrounded by the
savages. II*- fie .mod to pay wo m
tion to tbe danger he wns in. but

man fell. I wns fascinntnd by his
danger and ooolnrcss. As our mum
body came up and tin- savages were
driven link, I went lorwaul to sue
that no harm onme to my civilian
friend, who toae just ns I reached
liiin. To my astonishment it was tlie
correspondent of illn New York Her*
aid, and he began again in ihe same
Calm, slow way;

Again I interrupted him, 'You
wore lucky to escape. Didn't you
sen that you were surrounded?'
Well, General,' he began again,'1
