Tho chairman\nexplained that iho meeting hid beet)\nculled to give lhe residents an opportunity to express their views on some\nof tlio important topics that would\nlikely come bo-lore tbo legislature\nduring tho coining session in which\nthe residents of Lillooet are deeply\ninterested. :\nIt. Hoey addressed tbe meeting\ngiving liis views as to tbe re-juire-\nmeuts of the district gen.rally. He\nreferred particularly to tbe urgent necessity of a wagon rond from Lytton to\nLlllooet, he believed that tbe government was anxious to do all they possibly could to assist in developing\ntbe resources of the province and believed it was only necessary to show\nthe government that tbe road was\nreally needed nud it would be constructed. A. \\V. Smith, M. P.P., J.\nR. Williams and others addressed the\nmeeting on various subjects and the\nfollowing resolutions were proposed\nnnd adopted unanimously\nResolved, that it is the opinion oi\ntbia meeting that a wagon road ia\nurgently required bo as to give Lil-\nInor-t cheap and speedy communication with the railway at Lytton. We\ntherefore request our member A. W.\nSmith to use bis utmost endeavors to\ninduce the government to undertake\nthe renstruction of a wagon road\nfrom Lytton up the Fraser river to\nLillooet at the earliest possible\nmoment.\nResolved, that wc are of the opinion that- no person or corpnration\nshould bo allowed to have tho free\nuse of the puiilio roads of the province for the purpose of using traction\nengines on them as it will cause a\nlargo increase in the cost of road repairs and seriouBly injure some of tbe\nbest industries of tbe province.\nResolved that in yiew of the large\nnumber of mining leases that have\nbeeu granted by tho government on\nthe Fraser and other rivers on which\noo work is done, wc consider that the\ngovernment should insist on the\nleases carry out the conditions of tbo\nlease, or it should be cancelled and\ngive others a chance to work the\nground.\nResolved that we consider tho payment of five dollars for a freo miner's\ncertificate by men who work for daily\nwages in the mines is a hardship, and\nwe request our member to try to get\ntho mining act so amended that only\nthose who bold mining interest by\npurchase or location shall bo required\nto take out free  miner's certificates.\nResolved that wo considor tho\npractice of jumping claims on account\nof Boine technicality that the locator\nmay happen to overlook, is dishonorable and dishonest und should bo discountenanced by ull woll wishers of\nthe mining industry iu British Columbia.    \t\nLytton.\nMr. Dulton of Dulutlt, vice-president\nof tho company owning tbe bijj\ndredger accompanied by Mr. Rob\nbeck, draughtsman tor lho B.

A gluncR at the\nru-TRed faces and finely built frames\ncf ih*\u00bb\u00bbo men oa ii rule indicated ability.\ni itegrhy' and nobility as the characteristics shown by these men for th* past\nthirty-live years. 'Tis truo that\nmany fo ma are not as stalwart as of\nyore, and timn has left its mark on\nlhe faces of tho pioneor, but thnt lm\nheart is as warm and his dis position\nns generuos, a night spent around tho\nfestive board will abundantly bIiow.\nThe most of tlieuo men have acquired\nif not a competence at least enough\nof Una worlds goods to live on in the\nplain ami unostentatious way that\nthoy prefer, Somo imvo Hot been\neven thus fortunate or farsight cm!\nenough, but it is to their credit that\nnone of tbe members of the Yale-\nLillnoet Pioneer Society can have\nthe finger of enquiry pointed in suspicion  against them or have it said\n-ith\nany\ndegree of truth that any\nmember has accumm.ilated wealth at\nihe expense of his honorable reputation or by opressing or taking n**;,\nmean advantage of his position, as a\nlong time resident of t!it* province\nand of the opportunities that some\nmen would have found for acquiring\nwealth unscrupulously. That thoy hove\ntho rc.pcct and esteem of their\nneighbors und follow ol .tains is a\nfume more satisfactory than wealth\nor position oottld give them. All\nhonor to the pioneers of Yale and\nLillooet, may the evening of their\nday prove calm and pleasant, and when\ngono to join tlie silently majority, it\nwill be eulogy enough to write above\nthem \"A Pioneer of British Col\numbta.\".\t\n\" Those Bl$ Horns\"\nEditoii ov Tins Mining Jo.rx.m.,\nSir: I notice in your issue of the\n28th, ultimo, 4 letter Irom Mr. J. N.\ni. Brown referring to W.F. Burton's\nremarks in tho Colonist on the\nslaughter or big horn by Indians, and\nas one who 1ms paid considerable attention to the preservation of game\niu this country I should liko to say a\nfew words upon the subjaet,\nMr. Brown may bo correot in saying in thi. part of the counlry tho\nIndians have not beon instrumental\nin causing tho decrease ol tho sheep,\nbut nevertheless it is a well known\nfact that the .beep country to tho\nsouth of the C. P. tt. has boon almost\ndenuded of t-tieep chiefly by Indiana\nnml profession nl bead-hunters, and 1\ncannot agree wilh Mr. Brown that it\nis tr-e sporting tourist or visitor to\ntho province to whom the responsibility should be attached for the disappearance of this animal.\nI contend that a mun who will\ntfravel thousands of miles and spend\n.hou?nnda of dollars to get a shot at a\nbighorn, if, ninety-nine times out of a\nhundred too good a sportsman to\nwantonly dostroy game by which ho\ncannot benefit,\nThe game which these visitors destroy is a mere bagatelle, many of\nthem would not look twice nt anything less than a fourteen inch head\nand others would not even waste\ntheir time upon that. They all know\nthat good heads Hre few and far between and the visiting sportsman is\nwell aware that to fire his rifle for a\n-small head may loose him a really\ngood one.\nMr. Brown's sneering remarks\nabout taking the \"scalp,-1 by which\n1. suppose he means \" head,\" must he\ntfuu, I think, to ignorance cf the sub-\njeot. A Bportfttnan-s sole object is to\nobtain a good head which he can retain as au enduring trophy of his en-\ndiiiHiice. perseverance and skill\ndoes no\", go out for meat, if he\nhe would simply shoot the first own\nor lamb he came across and certainly\nnot waste his time ovor v_ma which\nas a rule are not worth tlo cooking;\nneither does he want the hides, for\ntho hide of a mountain sheep is u\nthing to be despised oven by the Indians.\nNow who will say that a noble\nmm has not served its end when it\nfalls to the rifle of some hunter win\nfor months, perhaps years has\ndreamed of bringing down a mighty\nbig horn, and who has traveled perhaps 7,000 miles and endure.\nics? privatfoui\nanimal amutig the rooks tied ntoiin-j\ntains of its home? At least he gains\nhis desire and the beast lies dead at\nIns feet, almost reverently will lit*\ncut off tho bend well down to thi1\nshoulders, and carefully will he br'n*.\nit into camp. What cures hn fur a\nfew pounds of meat, which at best\nwould only servo Inr it few meals Ilia\nlittle camp! Has he not something\nwhich will endure for all time, and\nupon which bo will look with pleasure\nthe remainder of his days?\nThen again Mr. Brown in wrong\nwhen he ii.scits that Indians only\nkill for meat, 1 Imve ntysoli seen Indians kill door for tlio shin and fat\nonly, and that they frequently du\nthis is too well known a fact to disr-\nTho Indians of Lillooet and\nthis district may not kill sheep for\ntheir heads but if they do not it is\nsimply because tho garni* is not worth\nthe caudle, as there is opt yet sufii\ntout demand, but if an Indian can\nmake money by obtainining heads fur\nthe dealers, and the law permits him\nto do so, no ono can blmu. him for\ndoing it.\nLet us not then lay too strong a\ncharge upon the Indian, but rather\nrevile those persons who, while lack\ning the energy and endurance necessary to obtain bunting trophies for\nthemselves*, must Btiil have them to\nadorn their halls and libraries, and so\ngo not t.i the wild* but to tho dealers\nshop. These arc tho people who by\ntheir patronage nnd ottcourttgemetil\nof the head dealers aud his agents\nhave been the cause of denuding\nmany n district of its oneo swarming\nherd, of wild animals.\nFrom the onward inarch of civilization also, it is tho    fate   of   all    wild\nanimals to suffer, and thoy will over\nbe driven back   furthor  and  further\nfrom tho beaten Irack; sti'l man has\ndevised wise laws which assist in re-\nmining these animals in then  haunts\nand it ie lhe duty of ft very ono to see\nthese laws enforced to tha fnllest extent, in order that   not  only may we\nretain these \"re.itures for our own u.\"\nand pleasure, but also that   we  inn\npreserve to posterity similar  benofi\nto those we enjoy   Faithfully you\nSidney Wili.j_.M3,\nQuosnelle, January -iih, 1890.\nAn Aged Cypress.\nThe cypress of Montezuma, near\nthe city of Mexico, is 44 feet iu girth,\nand its ag-y is nstimatod at !$f) centuries. In thc churchyard of Santa\nMaria del Thulo, iit thc Mexican\nstate of Oxaoa, is a cypress which\nmeasures 11-2 fnot in circumference,\nand is without a sign of decay.\nAt Piilinquo are cypresses growing\namong tho ruins of the old cit>,\nwhoso streets they may have shaded\n[ll the days of its pride. By the\nusual methods, a writer in the Nuri.b\nAmerican Review calculates tho cv-\nprr-ss at Santa Maria del Thule ai\n5,125 years, or if it grew as rapid)v\nduring its wholo life as similar trees\ngrow when young, it waul I still be\n4,034 years ol 1. -This can hardly be\ncorrect, as in Mexico trees ofton\nmake two growths in a single year,\nshowing a distinct ring for each\ngrowth.

W.FOSTER,\nASHCROFT, May 3rd, 1893\nAmong Towering Wavet-\nThe British steamer Iiuta, from Port Au\nPrince, which was reported lost, arrived at\nHalifax thc other day. Capt. Hopkins\nsnys that in all bis experience he never encountered such weather. They had lo battle with hurricanes and heavy seas\nthroughout lho voyage. The vessel was\nunder water up to the rails almost all or\ntho outward aud inward trips. Two days\nafter leaving Halifax, while making good\nheadway in thc heavy sens, Capt. Hopkins,\nwho was on tho bridge, saw a tremendous\nsea coming toward him, und realizing that\nit would likely break over Ihe ship, be\ntried to secure a place of safety, but did\nnot have time to do so, and as tho wave\nreached him lie grabbed the hand rails and\nducked hia head. The wave lowered\nabove ibem as it struck ihc ship and then\nbroke right over ibe vessel, tons of water\nfalling on the deck. The deckhouse wns\nstove in and the cabin flooded. Tho ven-\nlllatoiswcro waabud iiwayaudtbe iron\nrails were twisted liko pipe stems. The\ndoor of tin- whcclhouse was smashed in\nand tlie man nt the wheel was knocked\ndowu aud carried undrr lho gear. He\nhad a narrow escape.\nCaptain Hopkins narrowly escaped\ndeath when a- huge wave struck htm and\nlifted htm bodily nnd carried him com*\nplctdy over Uterulia or Uo bridge and\nlanded him under ono ot thc boats.

Let 111 take tho Or\nstory first, promising solely that\nmemory, however vivid is not a plio-\nnogrupli, and in this in_tf\u00bbnci_. it ii\ncarnleas of incidental details, which\nadd little but local color to tha picture. Tlie tale was elicited by aqucs\ntion whether Lord Wolaoley knew\nCharles Gordon in tbe Crimea, and\nwhat he thought nf htm.\n'\"Ohyca,! knew Gordon\u2014knew\nhim very well. We were subalterns\ntogether; young fellows, just begin*\nling lit'-, full of spirits and go. In\npile of all the hardships, tlio road\nbeforo us aoemed bright, interminable, always leading upward. Gerald\nti rn ha. in, Gordon and I were often\nogether in the advanced works in\nfront of the redan. We had already\nnine to look nn Graham's eourago as\nsomething almost supernatural.

A'\nSut the Russians wero too astonished\nat tbia piece of eheok to take an*,\nstops to prevent it, but aa it, was repeated again and again, ihelr sharp*\nshooters crew uuue numerous, till at\nia.t a perfect raub of them w ',1 to\nwait fur his appearance nnd then lot\nfly. But lie walked away with his\nback to thfim evening after evening,\n-is cool as a cucumbar, nnd was never\ntouched. Again and again we re\nmonstrated wttlvhim, told him he had\nno bu-.ir.e9-t to make a cock-shy of\nimself, but nothing we could pay\naltered hi*1 resolution, 'He'd be hung\nbefore he'd take the trouble to crawl\nquarter of a mile to avoid the Russian Gre\u2014let ili-on shoot aud bt*\n,mncd to them.'\n'And you,' we asked, interrupting\nthe narrator; 'how used you to go to\nyour tnntV'\nOh,'he went on modestly, with a\nvein of humor in his voice; lI crawled\nalong the tren h in the mud and\n(\u2022lush till 1 waa well be ond gunshot.\nI. suppose my disposition waB calcu\nlining aud ambitious. I did not see\nwhat could be taken by getting a\nbullet in ilie back for no reason.\n'And Gordon?* again wo interrupted.\nThat's the curious part of it,1 was\ntho reply. 'One evening Charlie\nGordon *w__Id link arms wilh Graham, and walk away as if a rainstorm\n<>f bullets hid no power to hurt him,\naud tbo very next evening he would\ncrawl along the trentilt after me as if\nhe would liko to hide in the slu.h.-\n'Uy tho way, talking of tight\nplaces and war correspondents, I remember an incident that may inter-\noat you. It was at tho beginning of\ntbe Ashanti campaign just after wo\ntiad landed. A square built little\nman came up to me and said, speak*\ning slowly and with an unmistakable\nAmerican accent,\n'General, allow mn to introduce\nmyself*. I am the correspondent of\nthe NAw York Herald.    I\u2014-\nTo busy to attend to him I cut him\nshort with,--\n\u2666Wliat can I do for you, sir!'\nHe replied imperturably, with tbo\nsame exasperating slowness,\n\"Well, General, I want to be as\nnear you as I can if there ia any\nfightin' to be seen.1\n'Capt. bo and so has charge of all\narrangomenta concerning war oorres-\npondents,'! returned curtly, 'you hud\nbetter see him.1 And with this I\nturned on my heel and went about\nmy business.\nI saw no more of my correspondent with the aggravating coolness\nand slowness of speech for many a\nday. I did not know whether he was\naccompanying the column or not.\nPersonally speaking, I waa only iii\ndanger onoo during tho whole expo\ndition. It was shortly before wo entered Coomassie. I had pressed for\nward with the advanced troops, hoping to break thc lnst effort at resistance and havo done with tho affair\nwhen the enemy, utilizing the hoavy\ncovert, came down and fairly aur-\nrounded us. For a few moments tlie\npos'tion was critieul, and ove y man\nhad to fight for thn enemy's Gre waa\npoured in at close quarters. They\nprev-td upon un Irora all sMt_| dotlg-\nng 1\n1 'ret* to tree, and continuing\nto edge closer, hoping to get hand to\nhand. In the hottest of it tiiy attention waa caught by a man in civil\niliitl oh who was some fifteen or\ntwenty rods nhaud tif me, and who\nwas completely surrounded by the\nsavages. II*- fie .mod to pay wo m\ntion to tbe danger he wns in. but\nkneeling on one knee, took aim nud\nfired again nud again, umi I Bi.aim'tl\nto see that every time he fired a blnul.\nman fell. I wns fascinntnd by his\ndanger and ooolnrcss. As our mum\nbody came up and tin- savages were\ndriven link, I went lorwaul to sue\nthat no harm onme to my civilian\nfriend, who toae just ns I reached\nliiin. To my astonishment it was tlie\ncorrespondent of illn New York Her*\naid, and he began again in ihe same\nCalm, slow way;\n'Well, General 1\nAgain I interrupted him, 'You\nwore lucky to escape.
