Young, general manager\nfor tlio above named company, camo\ndown from Quesnello on Sunday and\nloft ibe next morning for tbe east,\nwhore he goes to look over and thoroughly test the machinery now about\nready to bo shipped to QucBiiello for\nthe new dredgti being cons true ted at\nthat point under llio direction of Mr\nYoung. During a pleasant hour\nspent with him while bo wus in Ash\ncroft wo learned things of interest to\nthose engaged in the dredging busi*\nneRS or about tu eiigige in it.\nMr. Young is iuturestud In tho\nnuin.ll dredger now in operation at\nMormon liar nix miles from Lytton,\nThe imtuhinery was put in by him\nand has siiiou buuu overliauieil, repaired and Improved, When ha left\nLytton for Queanello they bud\njust got tliu d.edge to working\nho hu could not give uu tho\nreport of the last work done, but\nut' last -icnson'a work ho spoke freely,\nTheir rule Inst season was to run une\nhour, then.take up thu first two feet of\nliill-.B. It' they did not find $. or\nbettor in the fu-bt two 1'eet of the\nflume thin* would move to another\npluce. Tho two feet would catch\nlumtouo third of the gold in the rifiles\nand aometimes they would find two\nor three lim.-s that amount. On the\nwholo the plant was eminently successful as demonstrating ihat gold\ncould be raised by centrifugal pumps\nAs high aa $70 a day were taken out\nand tho richness of the ground was\nshown beyond question. Many defects in tho small dredge havo been\nremedied in the new plant soou to be\ncompleted at Quesnelle.\nThe cms and blue prints show the\nmachinery very plainly aud understanding^ and the improvements as\npointed out liy Mr. Young it is easily seeu will make a very great difference with the working of the dredge.\nThe machinery for thc new dredge U\nall manufactured \u00bbt Pittsburg, Penn.,\niitd will be placed on a soow 80 feet\nong .nnd iii feet wide. A string of\nsluices on each side of the scow is\narranged in such shape that ihe\nstreams from tho pumps can bo\nturned from one slutoe to the other\nwithout difficulty, so tlu-.ro will be no\nstopping to wash up tlie boxes, three\nmen wilt do all the work en tho new\ndredge itjslead of five or sis ns nro\nrequited ou tho sin ull one new in up-\n(-ration. The new one will hftve ca\npacity for raising material at least\nten times greater than lho small one.\nTho cost of the dredge now being\nbuilt will be about (15,000. The\nweight of the steel pipe, dredger,\npumps and rigging in the trout of the\nscow is about 5000 pounds, nnd the\nlength of the stroke or din-; of the\ndredge is 00 feet. About 1,000\nsquare feet of gravel will be covered\nby the swing*bf the divdgound pump\nwithout moving the scow. The biz.\nof the intake pipe is eight inches and\ndivided at the bottom into two compartments to kei-p out large rocks,\nthen redivided again into two moru\nby across bar. A sleeve so an-au-jed\nas to be worked by a lever from the\ndeck of tho scow will Blip dowu and\nexpand the mouth of the iutake if it\nclogs and allow the rocks to drop\ndown. The dredge will tear up rotten\nbedrock and will move boulders of a\nton or more in weight easily. The\nscow is held in place by au ingenious\narrangement of steel tipped spars on\neither side of the scow, and the\ndredger is designed to work in thirty\nfeet of water, but could work at a\ngreater depth. The arrangement of\nthe dredge is different from tho Underwood dredge and while Mr.Young\nspeaks very favorably of the Underwood dredger and thinks it will be a\nsuccess, thinks bis own invention\nposseses somo especial advantages\nthat no other dredger dees. M\nYoung Bays tho conditions aro very\nfavorable for dredging on thc Fraser\nwhere ho will operate and his company havo -0 miles of river bed and\nintend to have several machines at\nwork within a few months of the\ncompletion of the one now building.\nIf tho new dredger does not pay f_i\nitself every-0 days Mr. Young snys\nhe will be disappointed. Tho company also has ground on the Thompson River and intend to operate\ndredger next season near Spcnco's\nBridge. Mr. Young is a pleasant\nman to meet and is, while enthusiastic on the subject, a nun in whose\nstatements the utmost reliance can bo\nplaced. He will return to Ashcroft\non his way to Quesnelle tn abi>ht a\nmonth, and expects to have the plant\nat Quesnello completed within forty\ndays after his arrival with iho machinery . The benefits to be derived\nfrom the successful dredging of the\nrivers of British Columbia are almost\nincalculable and probably no country\nin the world offers so great Inducements to men wishing to engage in\nthis line of mining as duos ihis province.\t\nThe Clearwater Country.\nJ. W. Moxley, who undoubtedly knows\nmoio ot lhe Eecllnii nf lliu country above\nthan any eUmr white man, came down\nthis week and litis gnus on from Aslicrofl\n10 Salmon Arm,- where his family lives, to\nspend a few weeks la resting ami getting\nin shape for nexi season's work,\nMr. Moxley left the main Cariboo road\nSt llielll curly lam June nnd imly ruturucd\nwhen driven by the snow I rum (hu new\ncountry which ho has been exploring this\nseason. Thu distance penetrated was, as\nnear as could bu told at a guess, ulimit 300\nmiles, ll requiring 17 dnys cunstunt travel;\nHiif\" tn gel buck to lho Cnribno roud nt the\nstarting point. The dlvido was reached\nby Mr. Moxley, whore tlio head waters ol\nthe Clearwater, Little Horsefly and Canoe\n'Ivor nearly meet. From this roint Mr.\nMnxloy followed ihe Oanne river down to\ntlie Fraser, and lull.Hug a raft, crossed\nHint stream ami explored Homo dislauee or\nacrcck on tho other side. In hisjudgc-\nni(-\u201el it Is a good country for prospectors\nto vlsil. A packer with burses went with\nllim as far as lho open country would permit and I'uun tliouce turned buck. This\nwas In the latter part of June and from\nthen tn til bis return la October no hu.\nninn being was seen except when camped\nbout 60 miles (rom Tele Jamie Cache\nthree Indians made their appearance and\nstayed overnight In the prospector's camp.\nA bountiful supply of caribou in camp\nwas sufficient tu satisfy his ever hungry\nvisitors, so Mr. Moxley'_ scanty 6loro of\nfl->ur was not drawn on. The Indians iu-,\nformed him Ihat 15 Crees wintered lu tbe\nvlcliiily of Ti'le Jaune Csthe trapping and\nbunting. Mr. Moxlev lound many creeks\nwith gold Indications and found en trying\na pan on almost every creek, gold, bul us\nhe says, not iu quantities sufficient to\nkeep him awake nights. He is nevertheless ol lhe opinion that many uf tbo creeks\nwill be louud to be valuable when itior-\nmighly prospected. Iu some places banks\nof gravel a hundred feet high are found\nand large quantities of float quartz In\nllieir beds. Some samples nf quartz\nbrought out by him have beeu sent away\nfur analysis and tho quarlz Is apparently\nvaluable, dome splendid pfoccs of inica\nfrom a large and apparently i n ex li au slit-It-\nl.dge were aho brought out by li im.

They will bu submillcd lo a fair\nlest, and if found satisfactory an expedition will visit these miucs next season.\nThe country has not, Mr. Moxley says,\nbeen properly mapped and many inland\nlakes as targe as small seas?are not put\ndown at all oa maps. Tho country is uol\ndifficult of access except whero ibe fires\nhave ruu through, and then It is terrible\ntraveling. \"Tls a veritable hunter's paradise, as caribou, deer, bear are plentiful,\nand smaller game bucu iu blue grouse,\nptarmigan, partridge, ducks, and geese on\nthc lakes nud streams in abimdanco and\nthe waters teem with fish.\nMr. Moxley considers this section to be\nparticularly favorable for quarlz,prospecting, tbo quantities ol float quartz being especially great and mnny ledges to be Been.\n11 Is not a hard country to get into and\nwe see no reason why prospectors should\nnut, another season, explore some of this\npromising country. There Is no danger\nof Us being over crowded for many years\nlu come, ns very lew signs of the presence\nof man can be found over Ibe several hundreds of miles (raveled by Mr. Moxley.\nOne would think (hat a four months slay\nIu au unknown couolry alone would bo\neuough but Mr. Moxley says he is going\nlo ruluru early ip the spring and is indi tier,\ncut whether he has company or goes alone,\ntor, as he says, it Is all the same after you\nget used to it.\nThe Horsefly Company.\nMr. John E.

FOSTER\nAmong good finds Mr. Sargont of\nthe Slough Creek company has a\nhandsome $80 pieco found on Slough\nCreek noar tho mouth of Nelson. A\nfew years ago a $-100 ono was found\non bed rock on Williams Crook. A\niiumliur of years ago a nugget valued\nat $480 was found by Chinese miners\non Terr\/ Creek. What old Cariboo-\nite can give us news of nuggets found\nin early days iu tho many rich creeks\nof Cariboo? Send down the histories\nof big pieces found to the Jouu.nal,\nand oblige th. readers of this paper\nand help to call the attention of mining men to this too long neglected\nsection.\nMen, women and children like lo\nread of rich finds, nud gold mining,\naud without varying from the truth in\nany respect those acquainted witii tho\nearly days of Cariboo can tell some\nmarvelous tales of strikes that occurred in tho times when in one\nclaim on Williams Creek .two men\ntook out in one ten hour shift over\n104 pounds of gold. This article is\nuot intended to unduly represent\nCariboo or lo be taken by those not\nfamiliar with mining us being the ordinary thing to find big nuggets or\nto take out gold by tho hundred\nweight in a day. It has boon done,\nbut only by the very few union.; the\nmany thousands of prospectors. Of\nlato years and for the future, minine:\nin this section must be done through\ntho use of largo capital, and no poor\nman need vi.it Cariboo expecting to\nfind limes tike early days; but is a\ngood country for rich or poor if lliey\nuse good judgment in tho former\ncase or are industrious in the tatter;\notherwise it ia better to stny away\naltogether and no man should visit a\nstrange section of tho country where\nmiuing camps are as a rule Irom ten\nto 100 miles apart and the nearest of\nthorn nearly 200 iirlcs from a railroad; where the supply of laboring men exceeds the demand as is tbe case in some sections\nof Cariboo, as well as in Kootenay,\nand living expenses high, without at\nlea.t some money to depend on, in\ncase he fails to get work at first. A\ngood man can always get work in\nCariboo during the mining season,\nbut not in very many cases until he\nhas visited different camps and often\nhe may have to wait weeks for it; bo\nlaboring men are by this article\nwarned not to come on chanco and\nexpect to find employment, and if you\nfail so to do Bud yourself destitute,\nbut have at least enough to pay your\nway in and live for a few weeks, and\ndo not make the mistake of going\ninto Cariboo in March as many did\nlast year. As a rule work on ditches\nand mines does not commence beforo\nApril 1st, at the earliest and iu many\nsections some weeks later. As will\nbe seen by notice published in another oolumn of this Journal\napplication lor a charter to build a railroad from Ashcroft\nKamloops or some point\nbetween, to Barkerville, wilt be made\nto the legislature tho coming session\nand will he no doubt granted, but\nthis does not mean an immediate\nrailroad, at least it is not generally bo\nbelieved by the people of this section. When the time comes as it no\ndoubt will before many vears, that\ncapitalists can see their way clear to\nmatte a paying proposition of a railroad it will bo built and all will wel\ncome that time; nor is it far in the\nfuture but the amount of freighting\nand traffic must be doubled many\ntimes before profit can bo figured out\nof a railroad. At present and for the\npast year about 100,000 pounds of\nfreight per week has boen forwarded\nfrom Ashcroft including all way\npoints, as Lillooet, Dog Creek, etc.,\nwhero a railroad could not touch.\nSuppose a railroad increase the business ten times, it would then only\nmean about freight enough for two\ntrains per week and no down freight.\nThe time will come whon with quartz\ndevelopment tho outlook will justify\nthe building of n railroad, but it is\nnot, as we stated before, the general\nbelief of tho people best informed on\nthe subject that r railroad can' be\nbuilt nnd successfully operated ior\nsome years yet, but- if capitalists\nthink otherwise aud will build it tho\npeople of Cariboo will welcome and\ndistal it to the beat ol their ability\nWttECT IllPOLTl-G OF\nfiilM-\nCLINTON\nASHCUOFT.\nComplete outfits fur all classes of settlers, miners, farmers and rcacben\nPROVISIONS, CLOTHING, BOOTS and SHOES, DRY GOODS\nHARDWARE, AGRICULTURAL ami MINING IMPLEMENTS, FIELD ami GARDEN SEEDS, STATIONERY, DRUGS, PAINTS, OILS, LAMPS,\nGLASS, CROCKERY, SADDLERY,\nMILLINKRY AND DRESSMAKING establishment in connection\nwith storo at Ashoroft.\nThe largest stocks in the province to select fromat my stores, Clinton\nand Ashcroft.\nGoods received, .'orwardetl and stored at low rates.\nROUGH AND DRESSED LUMBER, SHINGLES,\nLATHS, PICKETS, ire.\nA full line of G.

Tlie\nwooden slab (hut rises above his lonely\nmound henra only the number by which\nhe was known is a prisones of the slate.\nIt Is never without ihe tin-dow ol the\ngrim, gray walls within which tie passed\nthe last eight years of his life. Even ns\nhe lies cold in death YYerth Brown's body\nis not beyond the range nt the ritlcs of tht\nguards. Ue passed away on Thursday\nafternoon. The lockup bell was hi-*\nlonely kuell; the clatter ol the burs that\nclose the felons'cells his only requiem.\nBrown did not amount to much lu lilt,\nbut llic .eeucs tuirouudiug hid death and\nburial wure so dramatic that be will long\nbe remembered hy the convicts thut followed him to his grave.\nHo wns a murderer, and was sentenced\nto imprisonment lor tlfteen years by the\nlUperior court of Tulare count v. He was\n\u25a0ecelved at Ban Quontio ou December 10,\n1SS-3, and from Ihe date uf his first Christmas within lhe walla he was n model prisoner, \u25a0'(ime time ago lie became a victim\nheart disease. Ho wus sent to the Iios-\npltnl, but failed rapidly, until it soou lie-\ninms apparent that his end was near. On\nWednesday Inst Dr. Lawtor told the\nivnrdeii thai Bi'owu mighl die ni uny minute.

I thought then that I could nol\nsave him. I cheered him lip by telling\nliim Ihat his sisler was ou the way and\nwould arrive lhal afternoon. 1 gave him\nwhisky,spirits of ammonia and pumped\noxygen into him. Four brawny convicts\nfanned him with big boards for hours. I\nhud no Idea how much air could be generated by a fan unlil then. I stood at the\nbedside In the draught feeling his pulse\nand applying remedies, but though my\ncoat collar waa turned up and my coat was\nbuttoned tightly, those fans chilled me\nthrough and through. I would go over to\nthe stove and warm |up and then I would\nreturn to his bedside. Brown was a brave\nfellow. Now and again he would sink,\nhut I would say,' Brace up, old man, you\nknow you sister wants to see you.' Then\nhe would pull himself together, hia eyes\nwould kindle and he would take another\ngrip on life.\"\n\"I did not leave him for four hours.\nShe arrived at 13:30 o'clock. When we\nheard the bus rolling up the road the boys\npiled Ihelr fans furiously. I had to hold\nBrown's nase to get the wbisky down his\nthiout. I knew he was going fast, but I\nhoped to keep him until his sister got\nIhere. At last she came. An officer\nbrought her through thc prison yard Into\nthe hospital. Bhe rushed upstairs and\n\"hrew herself upon her dying brother's\nbreast. Well, it wai all too much for mo.\nI haye seen many men die, but 1 couldn't\nstand that. The dying man in his convict clothes, the prison walls, the depressing surroundings, the weeping, heartbroken sister\u2014well, I could not stand it.\"\nThe agonized woman had time only to\nput her arms around lie-1 brother, to press\nher lips to his and to exchange a word\nwith him. Five minutes after she entered\nthe room Werth Brown waa dead. Another\nrelative also Wltuessed the death.' Il was\nBrown's uncle, who Ib under life imprisonment for murder.\nWhen preparation^ fur the fuDcral bad\nbeen completed nn Friday, 'he wnnlcii announced that tlio dead Hutu's Irk-nds\namong ihe convl.tr might follow tils\nbody to ihe grave.
