The\nold man has so long lieen a Jauinigr\nfigure in the district thatitM^K\ngepuine regret those who have known\nhim for years now see his Old cabin\nvacant, hut with his health and\nstrength failing, and lacking some of\nthe comfort* necessary to prolong bis\nlife, the desirability of placing bim\nwliere he will lie cared for has lieen\nrecognized and his admission to the\nOld Men's Home at Kamloops arranged\nfor by the Pioneers Association of the\nBoundary dislrict,\nIt, is not easy tn tell the tale of such\nj a life briefly. Nor could all that would\nI lie interesting, whether of ever changing fortunes, of adventures, of varied\nexperiences and comradeships, or bf\nthe numberless incidents and vicissi\ntudes filling more than three score\nyears, of, for the uiostpait, wanderings\nhithei andtl-ither as chance circumstances mid inducements prompted, he\nlearned during the nil too short uppur\ntuniiies afforded liy two or three talks\nof himself and his doings had with the\nold man by the writer. However,\nsince I here aie still many left in the\ndistrict nnd province wlm will likely\nhe glad to read something, even\nthough it he fragmentary of the life of\n'\u00E2\u0080\u00A2Old Jolly,\" the endeavor will now lie\nmade to relate in as connected a manner as can be under conditions some\nwhat unfavorable what he recently\nnarrated when asked to tell his story.\nAnd if at tunes the statement* here\nmade should appear to lie at variance\nwith known fad s, it must, lie reiiiem*\nliereil that these are set down as given\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094they are not vouched for. Of course\nit is tn he expected that now and again\nthe nld man's memory will Iw found\nat fault, but it may be noted with\ninterest tbat several quotations that\nwill he made from other accounts of\nsome of the incidents mentioned by\nhim in the main confirm Jolly Jacks'\nnarrative.\nJohn Thornton was born at Stockton\nnn the river Tees, county of Durham,\nEngland, on June 11, 1825. In 1KB,\nsixty four years ago, he left his home\nto go as an apprentice on a collier,\nand lo become a \"Hem-die,\" as those\nwho followed this vocation were then\nand there called. During six years he\nmake nne in the States, 'hut, hy G\u00E2\u0080\u0094!\nthey can make good guns now,\"\n(In Dr. Alexander Johnson's \"His\ntnrjr of the United States\" the following passages occur: \"The screw propeller, to take the place nf side wheels\nin ocean steamers, was introduced by\nJohn Ericsson in lSW The\nscrew propeller had now\u00E2\u0080\u00941814--bei'ii\nintroduced Into the United States\nnavy, and the sailing vessels of the\npast were no longer built. The first\nof these steam war vessels, the Prince,\nton, was the scene of a terrible accident, during a pleasure trip on the\nPotomac in 1814, One of the large\nguns burst when it was fired a third\ntime, and killed two ineiiiliers of the\nCabinet, a commodore nf the navy,\nand a number nf other persons. Many\nother persons had narrow escapes.\")\nAfter two years in the navy Jolly\nJack was discharged and for a while\n^ie w\u00C2\u00AB_ once more in the. merchant set'*\nvice, hut nnly for a short time, for in\nifMfl at Boston he joined the Independ-\n' frigato, Commodore Shnehrink.\nent ...\u00E2\u0080\u009E.._., ._\t\nProm Boston he went in California,\nfor the Mexican war was in progress,\nhut hy the time he reached San Francisco the stars and stripes had already\nbeen hoisted. Said he : \"There was\nvery little lighting for ihe navy there\nThere was quite a fleet at. San Francisco, wliieh (the Spaniards called\n'Yabha Bono' which meant beautiful\nherbs. There was the sloop of war\nPortsmouth; the battle sbipColumbils,\nCommodore Biddle, jm-t come from\nIndia -, sloop of war Siam, Capt. Montgomery, and Stockton, who was now\na commodore, had a frigaie there as\nwell. The American flag was also\nhoisted at Monterey, San Pedro and\nSan Di-'gn, While we were at San\nFrancisco the Briiish Pacific squadron\ncame down to take California hut\nthey found it already taken. That reminded me nf a story 1 had heard before, of a lol of Britishers sent, nut\nonce before to lake California, bin\nthey went back without doing it, because, as they said 'the blawsted salmon wouldn't bite, wouldn't take a\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00C2\u00BBV\nInvalided, Jolly Jack went hack\nround the Horn to New York in the\nfrigate Savannah. But once again be\nshipped and this time was drafted into\nthe southern coast survey net-vice, surveying with pole Hnd lead from Pens.,\ncola, Florida, to Texas. Aft?r nine\nmonths all hands were discharged nt\nFernanda. They got a tow boat lo\ntake them tn New Orleans where Jolly\nshipped on Ihe packet. Robert Burton\nfor Phidelphia. There he once more\nshipped in tbe navy, wai drafted to\nthe receiving ship Phidelphia at Nor\nfolk, and then to the frigate Hareton\nto cruise during the winter between\ntbe cape* Delaware and Chesapeake,\non the lookout for distressed vessels.\nThence to New York, where he was\ndischarged.\nAt. New York he shipped on hoard\ntbe 10 ton brig Meteor, Capt. \"Bully\"\nSmith, to go round the Horn. This\nbrig, having been built for use as a\nslaver, waa a very fast craft. When\nshe reached Valpariso, Chile, her\nowner tried to sell her to the Chilian\nlo\nexcitement broke oni. Men from all\nparts of the country flocked tn California : they went by steamer to the\nIsthmus nf Panama, ciossed il and\nsailed up the coast to San Francisco ;\nthey bought sailing vessels and wenl\naround Cape Horn; they travelled\noverland across the plains. The fever\nwas not confined to the United States,\nbut spread to Europe. Within two\nyears there were 100,000 persons in\nCalifornia, and San Francisco was a\nrapidly growing city of 20,000 inhabitants,)\nIn 1858 Ihe Fraser River excitement\nbroke nut. Said Jolly ; \"Loll of us\npaid our passage money to Victoria.\nB. C. From - there we crossed the\nstraits lo the Fraser river auy way we\ncould\u00E2\u0080\u0094in boats, dug-outs, or even oil a\nfew hoards fastened together. There\nmust have heen a good many lives Inst\namong those who were in a hurry to\nget to the digging,\" A writer in tbe\nB. C. Mining Record in December of\n1805 thus referred to the Fraser rush :\n\"It is an old story now of how people\nfrom Sun Francisco poured into Vic\nloria try thousands and set up their\ntenis; of how they lushed up the\nFriiHer river, often crossing the Gulf\nof Georgia in open hosts ; how otheis\ncame up the tableland of the interior;\nhow they crossed the Isthmus of Panama, or rounded the cape; how they\nentered from Whatcom, or plodded\nwearily overland from East ern Canada.\nVictoria became a city in a day, and\nthe mainland solitude was converted\ninto a crown colony in a year. The\nvicissitudes and hardships of the eager\nthrong as they pushed their way up\nthe turbulent Fraser with facilities for\ntransport limited t provisions dear as\ngold itself; an unknown region to\npenetrate, and each a stranger among\na strange crowd of advent urers, constitute a chapter of history in themselves.\"\nJolly Jack's stay nn the Fraser was\nnot a very lengthy one, for in the fall\nof the following year he came, as already mentioned, to Boundary Creek.\nOf his after experiences something\nwill he told next week.\n m*m\t\nNew Machinery for Knoh Hill and\nOM IroniMe*.\nThe new machinery house in which\nthe large electrically driven compress\nor plant the Granby Company is put\nting in at ita mines at Phoenix is to be\ninstalled is well forward towards com\npletion. Thr building is 00 feet hy 1211\nfeet and 90 feet high to the ridgecap*\nping. It ii now enclosed and the foundation* for both compressor* and electric motors are about finished, the latter having been completed a month\nsince. Tbi* building is placed far en\noiigh away from lhe nre quarries to lie\nout ot reach of most of the rock* scat\ntered around when blasting. The two\ntandem duplex compound Rand air\ncompressors, lo lie driven by two 750-\nhorse power Induction electric motors\nto give together a flO-drill rapacity,\nshould soon he received at 'he mines,\nTwo cars have already arrived snd the\nrestof I he compressor planl has been\nare about ready tor the big Karri I\ncrusher, having jaws niili an opening\n3B hy 42 inch, a which will he driven by\na lOU-horse power electric motor. This\ncrusher is the largest of ils kind yet\nmade hi Camilla.\nThe open workings at the (iranby\nmines are assuming large |,iu* nrtiuiis.\nThe quarries now extend niirih and\nsouth almut 1.HW) feet over all, and\nhave a widlh varying fiom ahmn 50\nfeet at the upper face to about 100\nfeel near the month of the miun tunnel. Besides this an area lip'-ruit-\nmate)) Mil) feet long hy 200 feet wide\nlins been stripped in readiness for removal of the enormous body of ore\nthus uncovered. Woik iu the main\nquarries is being carried nu iu i he\nusual manner. To facilitate sending\nmil ore more large openings have been\nmade from the Knoh Hill main tunnel\nup tn the quarries, giving in all twelve\nof these big chutes for sending down\ntheme. No.2 tunnel, part of whicli\nwas forn,erly the HiO foot level of the\nKnob Hill, starting from ul out the\ncentre of the Old Imnsides claim, now\nruns about l.MX) feet into the hill. At\nthat distance in it connects I y a 100*\nfl. winze with the Knob Hill main\nlunnel which continues south about\n1,000 feet further, so thai practically\ntheie is ii continuous working, in oie\nall tbe vay, fur a disim.ee of nearly\n2,0110 feel. From lhe Hour of No.2\ntunnel to thc highest pomi of the ore-\nface in the upper q.inri ies is about 410\nfeet vertical. With un ore body being\nworked tn ihis depth and having a\nwidlh of 300to 400 feel and u pi-m.-d\nlength of nearly 2.51,0 feet it is quite\nevident that, even wilh i lie daily output of 6.000 inns which the new plant\nis designed to pro- ide power for, ihere\nare many years' work ahead here with\na consequent enormous production.\nThis leaves entirely nut of in count the\nextensive underground workings iu\nthe Old Ironsides and Victoria mines,\nwhich contribute about jt) per cent of\nthe present output.\nThe total output of tbe Granby\nmines now aggreal en about532.0O0 tons\nol ore, all of which hus heen treated at\nthe company's own smelting works at-\nGrand Kork*.

Three times it was burnt\ndown. It was a fearful place for gain\nbling; men used to work just long enough, at (2,00 an hour, to get money\nto gamble wilh and then go hack and\nplay until it was all gone. We got a\nwhaleboal and went up to Stockton,\nwhere we sold the boat and started\nafoot for the diggings. This was in\nthe spring of 1840 and by the next fall\nthe rivers, creeks and gulches had all\nbeen taken up.

A. Galliher, metnt-erfor\nthe Yale-barihon district, it, which he\nstates lhat he is desirous of meeting\nthe mine owner* for the purpose of\ndiscussing the subject nf encouraging\nsilver lead milling lit the province. It\nis io be hoped the mine owners will\ntake advantage of ll.e opportunity of\nmeeting Mr. Galliher and discussing\nwith him this quesi ion so that he will\nIw in a position lo place ilie matter liefore the Dominion government in a\nmanner that will he satisfactory to all\nthose interested.\nLast we showed that ll Urge amount\nof public money had been wasted in\nan attempt to build a i-o.nl up the West\nFork of Kettle river, Ii. is certainly\nwithin the mark to put this amount\ntogether with tlie additional sum\nneci'ssarv to complete the road and\nthe loss to the provincial treasury by\narresting the development of Ihe important mining camps at $20,000 j ihis\ncovers a period of ahout four years, or\nsince the overthrow of the Turner\ngovernment. This is only a very\nsmall section of a very larf*e province,\nand we will suppose that successive\ngovernments have uiid\"riiiken similar\nworks in 2(k\u00C2\u00BB different parts of the\nprovince ; that no public money has\nheen wasted in 75 per cent of them,\nhut results similar lo those on the\nWest Fork of Keitle river happened\nin 21 percent of tbem, It would mean\nthat \u00C2\u00A71.000,000 of public moneys have\nbeen wasted, or perhaps it would lie\nmore correct to say that the provincial\ntreasury is short that amount. We\nhave not heard from all parts of the\nprovince, where public works have\nbeen carried on, hut reliable information received ttoiii several parts seems\nto indicatit lhat conditions, similar to\nthose on the West Fork of Kettle\nriver, bave prevailed. Is it any wonder lhat the governnient are taxing\neverything in sight'/ lhat they are\ncontinually borrowing money f that\nthey are clamoring for better terms\nfrom the Dominion government? The\nlot of those living beyond the hounds\nof municipalities, so far as governnient\nis concerned, is nnl a pleasant nne.\nThere is no self governnient; during\nan election campaign some individual\nfrom the ranch, the sawmill, or the\nlaw office comes around soliciting\nvotes, he is, perhaps, elected, and is a\nmember of the successful political\nparty. In the new government he becomes a Minister of the Crown, the\nhead of an important department of\nthe government. Lines he take off his\ncoat and say to himself \"I will over\nhaul this department frnm top to\nbottom, no matter how much lalsir it\ncosts uie?\" No, he does nothing of\nthe kind. He leaves lhe work to his\ndeputy and the other officials through\nout tbe province, who are in most\ni .uses, fossilized beyond all hope of\ncure, and have a life-tenure of office,\nTbe Honorable Chief of the department, lately from the people, clothed\nln new raiment, seduced hy the social\natmosphere of Victoria, beneath the\ndome of the million dollar parliament\nbuildings loses his head, and imagine!\nhe ii a statesman, but it is perhaps, in\nfact the commonest kind of mediocrity\n.in the guise of statesmanship. Instead of mastering the details of his\ndepartment, he spends his time in negotiating with railroad magnates,\nwhereby the government undertakes\nto give away a few hundred thousand\nsquare miles of Ihe puhlic domain, and\na large cash bonus to aid in the construction of a transcontinental railroad\nwith a terminus ut Victoria, in Ibe\nmeantime some civil servant may he\ngetting in his fine wmk, hut if complaint he made to the Chief he simply\nanswers in effect, that he upholds his\nsubordinates ; be call do noiliing else,\nbecause htf Is ignorant of the work of\nthe department.

Mr. Holland is\nnow on his way jveit, bat his future\nplans are unknown. Mr. Holland will\npmpahly serve out his term as mayor\nof Grand Forks.\nW. A, Stralton, a Toronto attorney,\nhas heen here for some time past on\nbusiness in connection with ihe railway company. Mr. Stralton is a\nbrother of Hon. J. K. Stralton, provincial secretary of the Ontario provincial government, and who with\nolher eastern capitalists are interested\nin the enterprise. Asked respecting\nthe report of Mr.Hnlland'i resignaiion.\nhe replied : \"Yes I understand Mr-\nHolland has resigned, hut have not\nreceived any further inforinatioii from\nthe east.\"\nThe resignation of Holland as general manager of the road is the latest\ndevelopment in an enterprise which\nhas been marked with more sensational features and bas given as Utile return on Ihe money invested as any\nscheme carried out in the northwest\nfor many a mouth. The '-Hot Air\nLine,\"as tbe load has come to l-e\ncalled, represents an investment of\nover $1,000,000, which Ontario men put.\ninto Ihe scheme for building a railway\nfrom Republic, Wash., lo Grand\nForks, B. C, The road has cost far\nmore than was ever expected, and it\nhas done practically no business at all.\nThe formal opening took place ahoul\nAve months ago. Since then the road\nhas carried somewhat more than 500\ntoii6 nf ore, tor which it is supposed ti\nget a revenue of $1 a ton. It gave up\nall idea of runinng passenger trains long\nago, and now it is not even running\nfreight trains. Tbe cars and the en\ngines are lying idle in the yards, un\ntil such a time as shipements com\nmeiice out. of Republic, when the\nofficials of the road expect to get a\nportion of tbe husiness.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 \u00C2\u00BB.\nOne of Life's Pleasures.\nThere is nothing in life more enjoyable and at the same time so bene\nHcial to Imth mind and hody, aa traveling.\nA modern railway journey, intelligently taken, lends to prolong life,\nbreak the monotony of existence and\nacts as a panacea for dull care, by\ntaking us out of the well worn channels of worldly and business struggles.\nBefore stalling upon a trip, whether\non business or recreation, it is well to\ninquire and investigate the various\nroutes, and choose the one offering the\nhest inducements in the way of comfort and attraction.
