Tlie following tiieniliers of tlie government were present: 'Sir ilii'liurd iMiIlride, Hon. W. J. Bowser, Hon. Dr. Voung, Hon. Tlioiuus Taylor, Hou. I'riee Ellison and Hou. A. E. McPhil lips. Tlie delegation tiuiuliered upwarda of sixty members auioug whom thc ladici »en1 u,b represented. The official spokesmen were as followi: Heovc Mny, Alderman Foreman, Hcevc Nelson, Councillor Bridgman, J. W. Dou ui.i uu, li T. Tin ii, John Farmer and t'ouiii'illor 1.1,nl.i.

Thc Conservative excrutives of Hie Nurlh Shore liad likewise endorsed their mission. The members of thc delegation were present ai citizens wbo fell lbe heavy burden resting upou Iiiiiii because of the laugled question wlneh had developed with reference to governmental claim to certain portion! uf their proporty. The wheels of pro gross were clogged, Ihc ainbitioiit of pruperty owners were fettered and Ih* entire districl was denied adequate developuicut, became of the uncertain iiii nf the situation.

This, hu regarded, aa a parallel case. If Ihe government would withdraw ils claim in Poiut drey, he saw no reason why tbore ihould nut lie u similar with flrawal iu I.yun Valley. The government intercut in I.inn Vulley was oomparu lively -mall anywuy, and lbe loss lu Ihu liuieiniiii'iii wuuld nut lie serious. Beeve Nelson, speuking I'ur Wust Vaucuuver district, stated that property owners in that district were not so heavily affected ua weru those in the ilislriet of North yuncouver, iuas much as very lillle properly bad l.ecu subdivided into luls. One uf the mosl unfair featurei uf lbe present siluu liuu, huwever, was illustrated by the caae of tbe N.6. ', uf block Ullil. The quarter in question was sold at u government sule al which the restrictions were removed, und the rest wus sold later, tlie restrictions being in full force, lleeve Nelson reud extracts from a memorial presented tu lue gov eminent over une yeur ago, with refer ence to the ijucsliuu at issue. Another feature of lhe tangle was seen iu the fact that people have gune lu the re- giatry office aud received n certillcate showing thut a certain panel uf bind wai clear, and ii hud afterwards de veloped that it was nol clear because of the government '» reversionary righli. Tbe i'u: ui'l. effect ou Ihe credit of Ihe district which waa atill under tne ban of the act, waa a serious mailer.

Afler considerable haminer ami drill wurk a lurge sample of the ore was brought buck lo the city whicii being heavily mineralized, will be forwarded for treatment. A piece ufthe ore wos dollied uud panned by Mr. J.

The discovery uf the reef wus purely accidental and fortunate. It appears that Messrs.
