Thia journal\ntakes no stock whatever in the stories of\ndisgruntled men coming dowu from\nthat region who attribute their non-\nsuccess iu gold getting to the machinations of the officials. Disappointed\nmen are prone to give any cause for\ntheir ill-fortune but the right one, uud\nas it has become common with some\nto blame the officials for throwing obstacle* in the way of claim hunters,\nthis plaint has served many as a plaus\nible oue in explaining\"', their failure to\nsecure riches where there is said to be\nmuch of it. But allowing for all this,\nthere is evidence that officials staked\nclaims and there are seemingly well\nfounded charges of money paid for\ninformtion, and to get at the truth the\ngovernment should proceed with au\ninvestigation. If the officials acted\nhonestly all tllrougji they have noth\ning to fear from an enquiry, but on\nthe contrary should court it as offering\na sure means of vindicating themselves\nand sotting nt rest the stories that have\nbeen so damaging to them. If, as the\npapers say, there are no grounds\nwhatever for the charges, then uu investigation will hurt no one, but evidently nn investigation is what a portion of the press wants to prevent, the\nreasons why probably being best\nknown to those concerned.\nHer Excellency Lady Aberdeen seems\nto have thought when her patronage\nwas asked for a performance of \"The\nBallet Girl,\" in Montreal, that it was\none of those vulgar exhibitions in\nhigh-light tightn which are said to so\ncharm the first row bi.ld-heads, so\nshe declinod on the plea that his excellency was not partial to exhibitions of that kind.

Prosperity has made\nSpokane proud. Thoro was a time in\nthe life of that place when it was\nglad to get any kind of Canadian\nmoney in exchange for its goods;\nwhen, indeed, it ranched out both\nhands to grasp all the money Canadians could bring it without question\nof discount or silver depreciation.\nAnd not only into British Columbia\ndid it reach but out from Spokane\ncame those alluring mining propositions that drew the dollars from the\npockets of eastern Canada without\nany dispute as to their parity with\nthe shifty dollar of the republic.\nSo having glutted itself with tho\nmoney of Candians until it has be\ncome surfeited, it uow turns disdainfully on the friend it once gladly welcomed and says to tho Caudinu dollar \"you are no good hore without a\nbonus to cover the cost of exchange.\"\nThus do tho arrogant spurn tho ladder by which they climbedjto affluence\nnnd paid off their mortgages.\nWe can suggest no remedy for Nelson\nsufferers save to keep off Spokane\ngrass in future.

It is\ndoubtful if the year's product of gold\nwill amount to two-thirds this sum\nwhen correct returns are made, and it\ncan be easily seen that the loss is\nlargely ou the side of the gold seekers.\nThis large sum put iuto permanent\nmines in tbe Kootenay would have\ninsured profitable returns for years and\nwould have opened up properties that\nwould have an ever increasing value,\nbut tbo slow proct-sses of rock milling\nmust ever suffer in comparison with\nthe easy working of rich but limited\nplacer ground.
