Mr, Stevenson informed the JounSAL that the\nbig dredger was still at its anchorage\nneat tho mouth of the Thompson but\nthat having made a triul of its machinery and finding it in good shape\ntlioy were to move the dredger up\niho river sunn. Mr, Datton one of\nthe principal owners is at f-ytton and\nin charge of the business. The\nsmall dredger is working on Mormons\nbar and thero is no doubt but that it\nis anccesslul as n gold saver. Mr.\nYoung, who is now ut Iviimlunp\", informed Mr. Stnvenson tlmt a new\ndredger would bo built by his company ntSpences Bridge to operate on\nthe Thompson near that point.

T.\nHamshaw, from Portland, Oregon,\nreached Ashcroft on their way to\nWilliams creek, Cariboo. Tho p-irly\ncame iu early id tho Benson purposely\nso as to stop over at Quesnelle for a\nlow weeks, Mr. James Beatley will\nbe recalled by many old timers, having spent several years in Cariboo in\ntho Ws. To the J.uk.vaI. Mr. Beat*\nlov said bo l\u00abft Victoria in 1862 fnr\nWilliams creek with only $10 in his\npocket, but by selling grass at 7 cents\npar pound, to pack and saddle trains,\nWhich he cut with a sheath knife and\noften packed on his buck for a mile\nor more, he managed to arrive in\ngood time at the diggings with t new\npair of boots, for whiuh he paid (40,\nii pounds of supplies for which bu\n[iaid floU und tputo a sack ol dust in\nhis pocket. Uo went to work on somo\nabandoned giountl ou Williams creek\nand n.adu the first three or four days\nonly t.i or .1 per day but soon struck\nit rich and took out as high as 20\nounces in u single day. After work*\nng nut hia ground ha bought a claim\nof Bdl Cunningham for $1,000 and\ndid well thero. Mr. Boatloy stayed\nsome years in tho couutry but\neventually drifted into Oregon and\nsome of his neighbors, from reading\nthe Minino Jouh.val, made up their\nminds to come up and see tbo country. Mr. Beatley could not resist\nthe temptation of coining and having\nanother try for gold, He has great\nfaith in the future of the country and\nthinks the output of early days will\nbe discounted in the near future,\nQuart**, Mr. Beatley says, will be\nfound, und will in his judgment\neventually lead the mining industry\nin Cariboo, He expects to spend\nthe stasvm in a section not far from\nBarkerville, where he knows there are\nvaluable quartz ledges and hopes to\nmake a good showing on them before\nthe season closes. He recalled with\npleasure the old days when Bill Cunningham threw a double handful of\ngold twenties through the mirror in\na barroom al Victoria, breaking il\ninto fragments, and after paying the\nproprietor $.00 for tho damage, told\nhim to pick up the change from behind tho bar for his trouble aud in\nvited everybody to come up and liq\nnor at Ids expense, as ho was having\na good t'r.c si:d wanted his neighbors\nto know it. The party accompanying Mi*. Beatley were young men evidently well able to look out for themselves and have plenty of moans so\nthat thoy can spend tho season, or\nseveral of them if they wish, in prospecting. Purtios situated as this\ncompany is, wiil as a rule be well sat*\nisfied wilh the showing made by the\ncountry. Not all will strike it rich,\nbut none wiil totally fail, and the\nch.nces are ten to nne better than\nto follow the crowds of treasure seekers who aro making the wild and reckless rush fur the Yukon gold fields.\nQitasneUe Forks.\nMoRac's Hotel bus added a wing and\nbeen otherwise improved, In anticipation\nof the spring trade, which the develop,\nment work that willbedouain ihis section warrants.
