This\nis more especially the case with that portion devoted to the Colony\nof British Columbia\u00E2\u0080\u0094the time allowed for the appearance of the\nbook having been found too limited to admit of the travel and\nresearch necessary to embody a comprehensive work on the condition and prospects of that rising country.\nThe publishers, however, are sanguine that their present attempt\nto place a detailed account of the British colonies on the Pacific\nbefore the world, will meet with such encouragement from the\ncommunity as will induce them to spare no means in their power\nin rendering the next edition of the Directory a more complete\nand better expositor of the position and importance of both\nColonies.\nVictoria, March 1, 1863.\nTOWNE & BACON, PRINTERS,\nEXCELSIOR OFFICE,\n536 Clay Street, San Francisco.

Her true position as the center\nand headquarters of commerce north of the Columbia, has been placed\nbeyond a doubt. The influx of capital and immigrants from Europe,\nand the rich and extensive discoveries of gold-fields on the main-land,\nare the principal causes to which the present prosperity of the town\nmay be attributed.\nSince the commencement of the past year her population has at\nleast doubled itself, and the increase of buildings and improvements\nhas been almost in proportion. During the winter season the town is\nthronged with strangers from British Columbia and elsewhere, who\nmigrate in the spring. Apart from these, the number of inhabitants\nmay be set down at six thousand.\nVictoria contains about fifteen hundred buildings \u00E2\u0080\u0094 some of them\nvery creditable to the size of the town. Among the public ones are\nthe Government Offices and a Jail. There are several commodious\nbrick hotels, the principal being the St. Nicholas, the St. George, and\nthe Royal. Substantial warehouses and stores are also becoming very\nnumerous.. The city is adorned with five Churches, two belonging to\nthe Church of England, one Roman Catholic, one Wesleyan^and one\nCongregational. A Jewish Synagogue and a Presbyterian Church are\nin course of construction. There is also a Theater and a Hospital, the\nlatter being chiefly supported by voluntary contributions. The sittings\nof the Legislature and Law Courts of Vancouver Island are all held in\nthe city. There are two joint stock Banks, and three private Banking\nHouses.\nUntil recently Victoria was without a Corporation, but during the\npast year an Act to incorporate the town was passed by the Legislature. The authorities consist of a Mayor and six Councilors. Effective and speedy measures will now be adopted to complete the grading\nof the streets, and the laying down of side-walks.\nThe water frontage of the town has, since the removal of the old\n5\n3 /is\n50\nTHE BRISISH COLUMBIAN\nbridge, been greatly extended, and several wharfs are now available\nfor shipping above the point where that obstacle to navigation existed.\nA company has been formed to build' a Railroad connecting Victoria\nwith the capacious harbor of Esquimalt, distant four miles. Among\nother institutions the town can boast of its Gas \"Works. A company\nhas been also organized to supply the town with water from Elk Lake,\na distance of eight miles.\nThe value of Real Estate in the town of Victoria has increased, in\nmany places, over seventy-five per cent, during the past nine months.\nFrontage on the best business streets commands a rental of from two\nto six dollars per foot per month.\nThe city is a Free Port, and therefore not troubled with customs,\nduties or bonded warehouses. Vessels drawing fourteen to fifteen feet\nof water may, under ordinary circumstances, cross the bar of the harbor at high water, and ships drawing seventeen feet have entered, though\nonly at the top of spring tides. A sum of \u00C2\u00A310,000 has been devoted\nby the Legislature to the improvement of the harbor.\nSteam communication is carried on three times a month between San\nFrancisco and Victoria by the vessels of the California S. N. Company.\nEvery alternate trip is made via Portland, Oregon. A steady and\nincreasing trade is carried on with San Francisco, the Sandwich Islands,\nOregon, Washington Territory and the coast of British Columbia. The\ninhabitants of the latter Colony obtain nearly all their imports via\nVictoria. The goods exported from Victoria and Vancouver Island\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2are trifling in comparison with the imports ; but the amount of gold\nobtained from the mines of British Columbia goes far to maintain the\nbalance of trade. The exports of the Island consist chiefly of coal\nfrom the Nanaimo Mines, lumber from the west coast, furs, skins and\nfish oil.\nThe coal measure extends from Nanaimo a long distance north, both\nalong the east coast of the Island and the main land; and several\nplaces have lately been found by practical coal miners where capital\ncould be advantageously invested in opening up beds of this mineral.\nSteam lumber mills are worked at Alberni, a Port of Entry on the\nwest coast, by a British company, and some more mills are about to be\nerected a little further north of that place by parties who have made\napplication to the Government for the purchase of seven thousand\nacres. It is probable that the timber trade of the Island will shortly\nassume great importance, as the spars for ship building have attained\nan European celebrity.\nThe fisheries of the inland waters of both colonies have up to the present time been greatly neglected, as it is impossible that the immense\"\nnumbers of salmon, herring and halibut which exist in them can be\njga*\u00C2\u00BB ,r-\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0-\u00E2\u0096\u00A0ii\n<-&\u00C2\u00A3. AND VICTORIA DIRECTORY.\n51\nvalueless for export whilst in such close proximity to the South\nAmerican and China markets.\nThe statement of imports for 1862, which will be found elsewhere,\nshows a very flattering increase when compared with the preceding\nyear. The amount of direct shipments from Great Britain form a\nrespectable figure, and leads one to hope that the time is not far distant\nwhen Victoria will become the distributing point of home manufacture\nfor the whole North Pacific Coast.\nA somewhat surprising impetus has been given to the development\nof agriculture in the colony by the number of newly arrived immigrants,\nwho have settled in the most fertile districts in the neighborhood of\nVictoria. With land at the low figure of four shillings, two pence\nper acre, and time allowed for payments, together with the improved\nstate of communication between Victoria and the back settlements, we\nmay reasonably hope that the inhabitants of the town will not in future\nbe so dependent on neighboring countries for their supplies of produce.\nFor a more detailed notice of the trade and institutions of Victoria\nand Vancouver Island the reader is referred to the statistics hereinafter\ncontained. - \u00E2\u0096\u00A0'\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nTABLE OF DISTANCES\nFROM VICTORIA TO THE FOLLOWING PLACES.\nCtaa\nNo. miles.\nVictoria to New Westminster. 70\n\" Nanaimo, by the inner channels 66\n\" Nanaimo, by the outer channels , 86\n\" the Comax Settlement 110\n\" Fort Rupert 270\nI Alberni 130\n\" Socklaee Harbor, Queen Charlotte Island 430\n\" head of Bute Inlet 130\n\" head of South Bentinck Arm 310\n\" head of North Bentinck Arm 305\n\" mouth of the Skeena River 500\n\" Fort Simpson 570\n\" mouth of the Sticken River 780\n\" Sitka (or New Archangel) 830\n| San Francisco 770\nTo the Cariboo Mines.\nVictoria to Yale by Steamer 160 miles.\nThence by road to Lytton 63\nFrom Lytton to William's Lake via the New Wagon\nRoad 195\nFrom William's Lake to the Forks of Quesnelle... 53\nFrom the Forks of Quesnelle to William's Creek or\nRichfield. 50\nTotal 521 miles.\nVictoria to Lillooet, via Douglas and the Portages 287 miles.\nFrom Lillooet to William's Lake, via the New\nWagon Road 165\nFrom William's Lake to Richfield, via Forks of\nQuesnelle 103\nTotal 555 miles.

W. Keyser, Lewis Davis, Lewis Levy.\nTHE VANCOUVER COAL MINING AND LAND COMPANY, LIMITED.\nThis Company's property at Nanaimo embraces an area of more\nthan 6,000 acres, one-half of which is available for mining purposes.\nThe quality of the coal, already beyond question superior to any on\nthe Pacific coast, would seem by every year's experience to be greatly\nimproving; each new shaft sunk invariably developing coal of a much\nfiner description.\nThe new Douglas vein in particular, both as regards steam and\nstowage qualities, is acknowledged by most competent judges to be surpassed only by the best Welsh coal, and that merely by about two per\ncent. \u00E2\u0080\u0094 . .\nAND VICTORIA DIRECTORY.\n143\nThrough the improvements and additions to machinery, plans, etc.,\nthe productiveness of the Nanaimo coal fields has been greatly increased\nof late; the yield of the last quarter being fully one-third in excess of\nany previous one.\nWith the ample provisions made in the matter of wharfs, jetties and\nbarges for loading vessels at all times of the tide, the possession of a\ngood and commodious harbor, and the successful working of the Dong-\nlas, Newcastle and Dunsmuir veins, the Company are now enabled to\nsupply vessels with return cargoes of coal suitable for every purpose ;\nand as a large sum has been expended in the purchase of new and\nmore powerful machinery, (now on its way from England) and a further\nsum of from $40,000 to $50,000, set aside for sinking additional shafts\nand making tramways to the harbor, the Company will be prepared to\nmeet that demand which the superiority of the Nanaimo coal is daily\ncalling forth.\nThe large and increasing exportation of coal to California and elsewhere and the growing demand for it in our midst is a sure guarranty\nthat the investment of capital in the Nanaimo Coal Mines will not\nprove unremunerative.\nBank of British North America.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The Victoria branch of\nthis establishment was formed in 1859. The Bank itself was established in 1836, and has branches in most of the principal towns in\nBritish America. The paid up capital is $5,000,000, and the head\noffice is in London. J. G. Shepherd, Esq., is the present Manager of the\nVictoria office.\nBank of British Columbia.\u00E2\u0080\u0094This association was formed during the past year, by parties of influence and position in London, in\nconsequence of the extensive gold discoveries in British Columbia, and\nthe want of banking facilities in that Colony. At present, only a branch\nexists in Victoria, but as soon as circumstances justify such a step it is\ncontemplated by the Directors to establish branches in the neighboring\nColony. Its capital is $1,250,000, in 12,500 shares of $100 each.\nThe head office is in London. James D.

It shall be lawful for the Gold Commissioner to mark out\nfor the use of any person intending to carry on temporarily any trade\non or near a mine, a plot or plots of waste Crown land convenient for\nthat purpose, and also for garden purposes, not being larger than one\nacre. There shall be thereby conferred enjoyment for so long as such\ni\ni 184\nTHE BRITISH COLUMBIAN\ntrader shall pay all license duties in respect thereof, and also the right\nto any crop standing thereon at the last payment of license duties.\nProvided always, that the land on or near any mine so marked out\nfor any of the purposes mentioned in this or the last section, shall\nalways be resumable by the Crown and applicable to general mining\npurposes, on six months' notice thereof given by the Gold Commissioner to any occupier thereof.\nXXXIX. Any person who shall willfully and maliciously damage\nor destroy any Free Miner's Certificate, or fraudulently fill up, or post,\ndate, or alter any name, or date, or particular, in a Free Miner's Certificate, or in any document purporting to be a Free Miner's Certificate,\nor who shall falsely pretend that he is the person named in any such\nCertificate or document, or who shall willfully and maliciously damage,\ndestroy, or falsify any of the records and registers hereby directed to\nbe kept, shall be guilty of felony, and being duly convicted thereof shall\nbe liable, at the discretion of the Court, to penal servitude for not more\nthan ten years.\nRules and Regulations issued in Conformity with the Gold\nFields Act, 1859.\nI. In the construction of the following Rules and Regulations, unless\nthere be some contrariety, or repugnancy thereto in the context, the\nwords \" Governor,\" \" Gold Commissioner,\" \" Mine,\" | to mine,\" shall\nhave the same meanings as in the Gold Fields Act, 1859. The\nexpression \" bar diggings \" shall mean every mine over which a river\nextends when in its most flooded state. \" Dry diggings\" shall mean\nany mine over which a river never extends. \" Ravines \" shall include\nwater courses, whether usually containing water or usually dry.\nI Ditch \" shall include a flume or race, or other artificial means for conducting water by its own weight into or upon a mine. \" Ditch head \"\nshall mean the point in a natural water course or lake where water is\nfirst taken into a ditch.\nH. All claims are to be, as nearly as may be, in rectangular forms,\nand marked by four pegs at the least, each peg to be four inches square\nat the least, and one foot above the surface, and firmly fixed in the\nground. No boundary peg shall be concealed or moved, or injured,\nwithout the previous permission of the Gold Commissioner.\nin. The size of a claim, when not otherwise established by a By-\nLaw, shall be, for bar diggings, a strip of land twenty-five feet wide at\nthe mark to which the river rises when flooded, and thence extending -M'U'll*\"-\n-\nAND VICTORIA DIRECTORY.\n185\ndown direct into the river indefinitely. For dry dieo-ings, a snace\ntwenty-five feet wide by thirty feet. For ravine diggings, a space of\ntwenty-five feet along the bank of the ravine and extending up to the\ntop of each bank. In quartz claims the size, when not otherwise established by a By-Law, shall be one hundred feet in length, measured\nalong the vein or seam, with power to the miner to follow the vein or\nseam and its spurs, dips, or angles, anywhere on or below tho surface\nincluded between the two extremities of such length of one hundred\nfeet, but not to advance upon or beneath the surface of the earth more\nthan one hundred feet in a lateral direction from the main vein or seam\nalong which the claim is to be measured. All measurements of area\nare to be made on the surface of the earth, neglecting inequalities.\nEvery claim is to have a distinguishing number marked on its boundary pegs.\nIV. If any Free Miner, or party of Free Miners, shall discover a\nnew mine, and such discovery shall be established to the satisfaction of\nthe Gold Commissioner, the first discoverer, or party of discoverers, if\nnot more than two in number, shall be entitled to a claim double the\nestablished size of claims in the nearest mines of the same description,\n(i. e., dry, bar, or quartz diggings). If such party consist of three\nmen, they shall collectively be entitled to five claims of the established\nsize on such nearest mine; and if four or or more men, such party shall\nbe entitled to a claim and a half per man. A new stratum of auriferous earth or rock, situate in a locality where the claims are abandoned,\nshall for this purpose be deemed a new mine, although the same locality shall previously have been worked at a different level. And dry\ndiggings discovered in the neighborhood of bar diggings shall be\ndeemed a new mine, and vice versa.\nV. The registration of claims shall be in such manner and form as\nthe Gold Commissioner shall in any locality direct, and shall include,\nbesides the matters mentioned in the Gold Fields Act of 1859, all such\nother matters as the Gold Commissioner shall think fit to include.\nVI. No transfer of any claim, or of any interest therein, shall be\nenforceable unless the same, or some memorandum thereof, shall be in\nwriting, signed by the party sought to be charged, or by his lawfully\nauthorized agent, and registered with the Gold Commissioner.\nVII. Any person desiring any exclusive ditch or water privilege,\nshall make application to the Gold Commissioner having jurisdiction\nfor the place where the same shall be situated, stating, for the guidance\nof the Commissioner in estimating the character of the application, the\nname of every applicant, the proposed ditch head and quantity of\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0i 186\nTHE BRITISH COLUMBIAN\nwater, the proposed locality of distribution; and if such water shall be\nfor sale, the price at which it is proposed to sell the same, the general\nnature of the work to be done, and the time within which such work\nshall be complete; and the Gold Commissioner shall enter a note of all\nsuch matters as of record.\nVIII. Unless otherwise specially arranged, the rent to be paid for\nany water privilege shall be in each month one average day's receipts\nfrom the sale thereof, to be estimated by the Gold Commissioner with\nthe assistance, if he shall so think fit, of a jury.\nIX. If any person shall refuse or neglect to take within the time\nmentioned in his application, or within such further time (if any) as\nthe Gold Commissioner may, in his discretion, think fit to grant for the\ncompletion of the ditch the whole of the water applied for, he shall at\nthe end of the time mentioned in his application be deemed entitled\nonly to the quantity actually taken by him, and the Gold Commissioner\nshall make such entry in the register as shall be proper to mark such\nalteration in the quantity, and may grant the surplus to any other person according to the rules herein laid down for the granting of water\nprivileges.\nX. Every owner of a ditch or water privilege, shall be bound to take\nall reasonable means for utilizing the water granted to and taken by\nhim; and if any such owner shall willfully take and waste any unreas--\nonable quantity of water, he shall be charged with the full rent as if\nhe had sold the same at a full price. And it shall be lawful for the\nGold Commissioner, if such offense be persisted in, to declare all rights\nto the water forfeited.\nXI. It shall be lawful for the owner of any ditch or water privilege\nto sell and distribute the water conveyed by him to such persons, and\non such terms as they may deem advisable, within the limits mentioned\nin their application. Provided always, that the owner of any ditch or\nwater privilege shall be bound to supply water to all applicants, being\nFree Miners, in a fair proportion, and shall not demand more from one\nperson than from another, except when the difficulty of supply is\nenhanced. Provided further, that no person, not being a Free Miner,\nshall be entitled to demand to be supplied with water at all.\nXII. A claim on any mine shall, until otherwise ordered by some\nvalid By-Law, be deemed to be abandoned and open to the occupation\nof any Free Miner, when the same shall have remained unworked by\nsome registered holder thereof for the space of seventy-two hours,\nunless in case of sickness, or unless before the expiry of such seventy-\ntwo hours a further extension of time be granted by the Gold Commis- AND VICTORIA DIRECTORY.\n187\nsioner, who may grant further time for enabling parties to go prospecting,\nor for such other reasonable cause as he may think proper. Sundays,\nand such holidays as the Gold Commissioner may think fit to proclaim,\nare to be omitted in reckoning the time of non-working.\nXIII. Whenever it shall be intended, in forming or upholding any\nditch, to enter upon and occupy any part of a registered claim, or to\ndig or loosen any earth or rock within [4] feet of any ditch not belonging solely to the registered owner of such claim, three days' notice, in\nwriting, of such intention shall be given before entering or approaching\nwithin four feet of such other property.\nXIV. If the owner of the property about to be so entered upon or\napproached, shall consider three days' notice insufficient for taking\nproper measures of precaution, or if any dispute shall arise between\nthe parties as to the proper precautionary measures to be taken, or in\nany other respect, the whole matter shall be immediately referred to\nthe Gold Commissioner acting in the district, who shall order such\ninterval of time to be observed before entry, or make such other order\nas he may deem proper.\nXV. In quartz claims and reefs, each successive claimant shall leave\nthree feet unworked to form a boundary wall between his claim and\nthat of the last previqus claimant, and shall stake off his claim accordingly, not commencing at the boundary peg of the last previous claim,\nbut three feet further on; and if any person shall stake out his claim\ndisregarding this rule, the Gold Commissioner shall have power to\ncome and remove the first boundary peg of such wrong-doer three feet\nfurther on, notwithstanding that other claims may then be properly\nstaked out beyond him, so that such wrong-doer shall then have but\nninety-seven feet. And if such wrong-doer shall have commenced\nwork immediately at the boundary peg of the last previous claim, the\nGold Commissioner may remove his boundary six feet further on than\nthe open work of such wrong-doer; and all such open work, and also\nthe next three feet of such space of six feet, shall belong to and form\npart of the last previous claim, and the residue of such space of six feet\nshall be left as a boundary wall.\nXVI. Every such boundary wall shall be deemed the joint property\nof the owners of the two claims between which it stands, and may not\nbe worked or injured, save by the consent of both such owners.\nXVII. In staking out plots of land for Free Miners and traders for\ngardening and residential purposes, under the powers in the said Gold\nFields Act, 1859, contained, the Gold Commissioner is to keep in view\nthe general interests of all the miners in that locality, the general prin- n^!\u00C2\u00BBr\" \"\n188\nTHE BRITISH COLUMBIAN\nciple being that every garden benefits indirectly the whole locality, and\nalso that the earlier application is to be preferred; but where the eligible spots of land are few, or of scanty dimensions, and especially where\nthey are themselves auriferous, it may be injudicious that the whole or\nthe greater part should fall into the hands of one or two persons; and\ntherefore, in such cases, the Gold Commissioner may, in the exercise\nof his discretion, allot small plots only to each applicant.\nXVIII. Any person desiring to acquire any water privilege shall be\nbound to respect the rights of parties using the same water, at a point\nbelow the place where the person desiring such new privilege intends\nto use it.\nXIX. Any person desiring to bridge across any stream. Or claim, or\nother place for any purpose, or to mine under or through any ditch or\nflume, or to carry water through or over any land already occupied by\nany other person, may be enabled to do so in proper cases, with the\nsanction of the Gold Commissioner. In all such cases the right of the\nparty first in possession whether of the mine or of the water privilege\nis to prevail, so as to entitle him to full compensation and indemnity.\nBut wherever due compensation by indemnity can be given, and is\nrequired, the Gold Commissioner may sanction the execution of such\nnew work on such terms as he shall think reasonable.\nAS TO LEASES IN LARGER PROPORTIONS THAN CLAIMS.\nXX. Applications for leases are to be sent in triplicate to the Gold\nCommissioner having jurisdiction for the locality where the land desired\nto be taken is situated. Every such application shall contain the name\nand additions of the applicant at. full length, and the names and addresses of two persons residing in the Colony of British Columbia or\nVancouver Island, to whom the applicant is personally known. Also\na description accompanied by a map of the land proposed to be taken.\nXXI. Leases will not be granted in general for a longer term than\nten years, or for a larger space than ten acres of alluvial soil, (dry diggings) or half a mile in length of unworked quartz reef, or a mile and\na half in length of quartz, that shall have been attempted and abandoned by individual claim workers, with liberty to follow the spurs,\ndips, and angles, on and within the surface, for two hundred feet on\neach side of the main lead or seam, or in bar diggings, half a mile in\nlength (if unworked) along the high water mark, where the same shall\nhave been attempted and abandoned by individual claim workers.\nXXn. Leases as above will not in general be granted of any land,\nalluvium or quartz, which shall be considered to be immediately avail- AND VICTORIA DIRECTORY.\n189\nable for being worked by Free Miners, as holders of individual claims.\nNor will such a lease in any case be granted where individual Free\nMiners are in previous actual occupation of any part of the premises,\nunless by their consent.\nXXIII. Every such lease shall contain all reasonable provisions\nfor secui-ing to the public rights of way and water, save in so far as\nshall be necessary for the miner-like working of the premises thereby\ndemised, and also for preventing damage to the persons or property of\nother parties than the lessee. And the premises thereby demised shall\nbe granted for mining purposes only; and it shall not be competent for\nthe lessee to assign or sub-let the same, or any part or parts thereof\nwithout the previous license in writing of the Gold Commissioner. And\nevery such lease shall contain a covenant by the lessee to mine the said\npremises in a miner-like way, and also, if it shall be thought fit, to perform the works therein defined within a time therein limited. And also\na clause by virtue whereof the said lease and the demise therein contained may be avoided in case the lessee shall refuse or neglect to observe and perform all or any of the covenants therein contained.\nXXIV. Every applicant for a lease, shall at the time of sending in\nhis application, mark out the ground comprised in the application by\nsquare posts firmly fixed in the boundaries of the land, and four feet\nabove the surface, with a notice thereon that such land has been applied\nfor, stating when and by whom, and shall also fix upon a similar post\nat each of the nearest places on which miners are at work, a copy of\nsuch notice.\nXXV. Objections to the granting of any such lease shall be made in\nwriting, addressed to His Excellency the Governor, under cover to the\nGold Commissioner, who shall forward all such objections, together\nwith his Report thereon.\nXXVI. Every application for a lease shall be accompanied by a\ndeposit, of twenty-five pounds sterling, which shall be refunded in case\nthe application shall be refused by the Government; and if the application shall be entertained, then such sum of twenty-five pounds shall\nbe retained for the use of Her Majesty, her heirs and successors,\nwhether the application be afterwards abandoned or not. 190\nTHE BRITISH COLUMBIAN\nTHE NATURALIZATION OF ALIENS.\nLaw enabling Foreigners or Aliens to acquire the Rights and Privileges\nof British Subjects whilst residing within the Colony of British\nColumbia.\u00E2\u0080\u0094From the \"Aliens Act, 1859.\"\n1. Every alien now residing or who may hereafter come to reside in\nthe said Colony with intent to settle therein, and who shall have actually resided therein, or in the adjacent Colony of Vancouver Island, or\npartly in the one Colony and partly in the other, for a continuous period\nof three years, without having been, during any portion of that time,\na stated resident in any foreign country out of Her Majesty's dominions,\nshall be entitled to procure himself to be naturalized in manner hereinafter described.\n2. Every alien desirous of becoming so naturalized shall procure a\n.declaration of residence and character, to be made and subscribed by\nsome British subject. Such alien shall, in the next place, make and\nsubscribe a declaration of residence, and shall also take the oath of\nallegiance to Her Majesty and Her Successors.\n3. Every such declaration and oath may be taken, made and subscribed before any Justice of the Peace, acting in any part of the Colony\nof British Columbia, or before any person appointed by Her Majesty\nto be a Judge in British Columbia. Every such declaration and oath\nshall be forthwith delivered to such alien, with the certificate at the\nfoot thereof, signed by such Justice of the Peace, or by the Registrar\nof the said Judge, stating the compliance on the part of the said alien\nwith the regulations hereinbefore contained.\n4. It shall be lawful for the said alien to present all the said documents, properly subscribed and filled up as aforesaid, in open Court, on\nthe first day of any Assizes or general sittings of the Court of British\nColumbia, in any place in the said Colony. And all such documents\nshall be then read aloud in open Court; and it shall be lawful for the\nsaid Court, on the last day of the said Assizes or general sittings, to\norder all the said documents and proceedings to be entered as of record\nin the said Court. And thereupon, such alien shall be admitted and\ndeemed, while within the said Colony of British Columbia, to be thenceforth a British subject, to all intents and purposes whatever, and to hold,\nenjoy and transmit all property, rights and capacities, in the same manner as if born within Her Majesty's dominions.\n8. Every alien shall have the same capacity to take, hold, enjoy,\nrecover, convey and transmit title to lands and real estate of every\ndescription, in this Colony, as if he were, at the time of the passing of AND VICTORIA DIRECTORY.\n191\nthis Act, a natural born British subject; and no person shall be disturbed in the possession or precluded from the recovery of any lands or\nreal estate in this Colony by reason only that some person from or\nthrough whom he may derive title was an alien.\nBUTE INLET WAGON ROAD COMPANY, LIMITED.\nREGISTERED JANUARY 2d, 1863.\nDIRECTORS.\nAlfred Waddington, Esq Chairman.\nAlexander D.

Green, Esq Secretary.\nBank of British Columbia Bankers.\nCapital, $60,000, with power to increase the same to $220,000.\nThis Company is established under a promise of charter granted\nMarch 28th, 1862, to Alfred Waddington, Esq., of Victoria, in consideration of the discovery of the above route and of its practicability,\nand conveying the right of levying a toll, not exceeding five cents per\npound, on all goods and merchandise, and a duty on all animals or cattle for a period of five years from the completion of the first fifty miles\nof wagon road, together with the right of preempting ten lots of ground\nof ten acres each at ten different stations on the road, which is to be\nfinallv,completed before the first of July, 1864.\n. The Bute Inlet Route is thought by its projectors to be by far the\nshortest and easiest road to the mines. It passes for forty miles through\nthe mountains of the Cascade range, at an apparently dead level, and\nthence through a fertile plain to the Fraser above the junction of either\nthe Quesnelle or Swift Rivers. The lower part of the river, which is\ncalled the Homathco, is at present obstructed by drift wood, but which\nwhen removed will render it navigable for about twenty-five miles, and\non reaching the plain above the mountains forty miles from the head\nof the inlet the river becomes again navigable together with the lake\nfrom which it flows (and which is thirty miles long) for ninety miles\nmore. The proposed town at the head of the inlet is situated on a dry\nflat of 1,200 acres or more, about a mile from the mouth of the river,\nwith a water frontage from twenty to twenty-two feet deep and accessible for vessels drawing less than twelve feet; besides which, a road of 192\nTHE BRITISH COLUMBIAN\nabout a mile in length connects with the head of the inlet, where ships\nof any burden can unload in safety. The town site is to be laid out\nby the Government and sold in the Spring. The valley itself is in\ngeneral heavily timbered, but presents several square miles of prairie\nground and patches of good cultivable soil.\nThe main features in favor of the road by Bute Inlet are: its shortness (one hundred and eighteen miles of land travel against two hundred\nand thirty-five miles by the Fraser route) ; the absence of all mountains\nor even eminences worth mentioning; the comparative small number\nof loadings and unloading* (five against fourteen) ; its dry soil and the\nabsence of swamps; the comparative mildness of the climate; and the\nfacility of approach (one hundred and eighty-five nautical miles) and\nsafety of navigation from Victoria. Twenty-three miles of the road\nfrom tbe head of the inlet were opened last autumn, and the remainder\nof the route through the Cascade mountains surveyed and partially\ncleared. The Company will be able to open a trail for pack mules\nbefore the month of June.\nMETEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS.\nThe following interesting Meteorological Observations were taken\nat the Royal Engineers Camp, New Westminster, during the year\n1862, by order of Col.

A wagon road has been lately\nmade by G-. B. Wright & Co., under a charter from the Government,\nfrom Lillooet to William's Lake, a distance of one hundred and sixty-\nfive miles. Lillooet is connected with Douglas by a chain of lakes on\nwhich steamers are plying, and by wagon roads on the portages. The\ntown has, during the last twelve months, rapidly increased in population\nand importance. A bridge will shortly be constructed across the river\nto Parsonville, where the wagon read commences.

Since the Frazer River excitement of 1858, Yale has always been a bustling, busy little town, and\nnotwithstanding the competition of the Douglas route, that via Yale\nhas always retained its popularity. The great Government Works,\nwhich have been carried on in the valley of the Fraser above Yale,\nduring the past summer, have had a very beneficial effect on the prosperity of the place, and caused a considerable rise in the value of lots\nin the town. By the middle of next May a road, passable for wagons,\nwill have been completed from Yale to William's Creek, a distance of\nat least two hundred and sixty miles. The road from Yale to Lytton,\n(sixty-three miles) which goes through the precipitous channel of the\nFraser known as the Big Canon, has been constructed at a great cost\nto the Colony. From Yale to Pike's Riffle, a distance of six miles and\nsix chains, the road was built by the Royal Engineers; from Pike's\nRiffle to Chapman's Bar, a distance of eight miles, by Mr. Trutch for\n$47,000 ; from Chapman's Bar to Boston Bar, eleven to twelve miles,\nby Messrs. Spence and Trutch for $75,000; from Boston Bar to Lytton, thirty-two and a half miles, by Mr. Spence for $88,000. The\nengineering difficulties encountered in carrying out the above work\nhave been considerable, and a bridge has yet to be thrown across the\nriver before the chain of communication is completed. There is no\ndoubt that this will always be one of the main roads into the interior\nof the country.\n* Owing to the list of inhabitants of Yale not having come to hand in time, we are\nunable to give their names to the public.

AND VICTORIA DIRECTORY\n199\nCARIBOO.\nThe district known as Cariboo was first discovered to be auriferous\nin the latter part of the year 1860.\nTo some miners, who were amongst those who arrived in 1858 at\nthe earlier diggings on the Fraser River, the discovery of gold in large\nquantities is to be attributed. These men, undeterred by unusual difficulties and hardships consequent on the extremely rugged and mountainous character of the country through which they had to pass,\nsucceeded in following the course of the Fraser a distance of three\nhundred miles, there arriving at the mouth of the Quesnelle River,\nwhich flows into the Fraser thirty miles above Fort Alexandria, a trading post of the Hudson Bay Company. Having ascended that river\nand finding gold on the bars and flats they reached the forks of Quesnelle ninety miles above its mouth. Both the north and south forks\ntake their rise in extensive lakes, which are themselves the reservoirs\nof numerous streams draining an immense extent of country. Gold\nhas been found on the south fork of Quesnelle and also on Horsefly\nCreek, which runs into the South Fork Lake.\nThe latter creek was deserted last season, owing to the miners being\nunable to get down through the blue clay, but it is the intention of several companies to return with larger-resources and better mining appliances during the ensuing season, as they entertain great anticipations\nof success. The gold-bearing formation has not been traced in the\nsection of country immediately to the southward of Horsefly Creek\nand the south fork of Quesnelle River ; it appears, however, that the\nran^e of gold-bearing hills crosses the north fork of the Columbia\nRiver near to its head; and from the quantity of float gold found in\nthe tributaries of that river, which comes in from an easterly direction,\nit is probable the gold-bearing range.continues its course south parallel\nwith the main chain of the Rocky Mountains into a district similar in\nits geological features to the Cariboo country south of the Thompson\nRiver; it is very evident that the Columbia must be crossed, and the\ncountry to the eastward of it explored, the ground between the Fraser\nand Columbia Rivers having been already prospected.\nSome rich specimens of gold-bearing quartz were brought to Victoria\nfrom the head waters of the Kootanie River near the foot of the Rocky 200\nTHE BRITISH COLUMBIAN\nMountains by some members of the British Boundary Commission,\nand all the parties who have traversed these districts agree that the\nindications of a rich gold-bearing formation are very palpable.\nGold has been taken out of the north fork of Quesnelle River in\nlarge quantities, and during the Spring of 1862 preparations on a large\nscale were made by wing-damming the stream in many places to\nabstract the auriferous deposits from its very center; owing, however,\nto an unprecedentedly early rise of its waters from the thawing of the\nsnow on Keithley's Creek and the numerous streams which discharge\ntheir waters into Cariboo Lake (the source of the north fork of Quesnelle River) the wing-dams and waterwheels of the miners were all\nswept away and with them the results of several months' arduous labor\nduring the most severe portion of the winter. Three miles from the\nhead of the north fork of Quesnelle River across Cariboo Lake is the\nmouth of Keithley's Creek, and here commences the district which is\nnow known all the world over as the Cariboo country ; this creek, with\nHarvey and Goose Creeks also running into Cariboo Lake, were partially worked during the Fall of 1860. The striking of these creeks\nwas the consummation of the hopes and labors of the hardy men who\nsince 1858 had with never failing energy followed the golden course of\nthe Fraser in search of the rich primitive deposits which a ripened\nmining experience had assured them existed in some part of the country through which that river pursues its course.\nDuring the month of January, 1861, rich prospects were discovered\non Antler Creek, twenty miles from the mouth of Keithley's Creek,\nacross a portion of the range of Bald Mountains which are situated in\na large bight or bend of the Fraser River, which rising in the Rocky\nMountains runs in a north-west direction until a point above Fort\nGeorge when its course is to the southward and westward. The main\nfeatures of this country consist of a large range of mountains, generally\nheavily timbered, but some of them are remarkable from being only\npartially covered with timber and form the highest points in the range.\nThe highest point yet explored was found to be 8,400 feet above the\nlevel of the sea, the general altitude being about 5,000 feet. This\nrange forms the watershed of Bear, Swift, Quesnelle and other of the\nlargest tributaries of the Fraser. Antler Creek, a tributary of Bear\nRiver, formed the main point of attraction during the Summer of 1861;\nbut in the fall of that year the heavy deposits found on Williams,\nLouhie and other creeks, and the promising prospects obtained on\nLightning Creek, one of the largest tributaries of Swift River, gave an\nimmense impetus to the naturally energetic efforts of the miners, and\nthe country was traveled over, if not thoroughly prospected, for a distance of fifty miles round* Antler Creek. AND VICTORIA DIRECTORY.\n201\nAbout 1,500 miners were in the Cariboo country during the.season\nof 1861j and the yield of gold has been estimated at $2,000,000.\nDuring the early part of this season provisions were packed in from the\nforks of Quesnelle to Antler Creek by Indians, and the price ranged\nfrom eighty-five cents to one dollar per pound; but by the month of\nJuly trails were constructed and pack trains brought in, and during the\nlatter part of the season the provisions were sold at from fifty-five cents\nto sixty-five cents per pound. Beef, which in the early part of the\nseason was fifty cents, was reduced to twenty cents in the latter part of\nthe season. In the early part of the year 1862, a large emigration\nfrom California, Canada and Europe, attracted by the results of the\nmining season of 1861, flocked to the mines; and it is estimated that\n10,000 persons started for Victoria, one-half, however, of whom,\ndeterred by the difficulties of the way, did not succeed in reaching the\nmining country. This immense crowd coming after an unusually hard\nwinter, during which the transportation was much impeded, almost\ncaused a famine at the mines, and a large quantity of provisions, which\nin an ordinary year would have reached their destination, was consumed\non the road by these unfortunate adventurers. This was a great drawback on the labors of the experienced miners, many of whom lost\nmuch valuable time during the already too limited season in traveling\nafter provisions, which ranged in price, up to the beginning of August,\nfrom one dollar to one dollar fifty cents per pound, and were often\nalmost unobtainable. Many hundreds of claims were thus prevented\nfrom being worked during the season, but general confidence in the\nresources of the country remained unimpaired. Notwithstanding all\nthese drawbacks, the country was still further prospected, and many\nmore new creeks struck. It has been estimated that 5,000 persons\nwere in the mining section of the country; many of whom, however,\nowing to inexperience and other causes, did not contribute any quota\ntowards the yield of gold, which, at a moderate computation, amounted\nto upwards of $3,000,000. The yield of gold on Antler Creek last\nseason was not so great as was anticipated; and Keithley's Creek, with\nthe exception of the tunnel and hydraulic claims at the mouth of the\ncreek was worked with indifferent success.\nOn William's Creek the rich deposits found in 1861 in the bed of the\ncreek were found to hold out, and many new claims, both in the creek\nand banks adjoining, were opened and yielded rich returns. All\nprevious discoveries were eclipsed by the finding, towards the close of\nthe season, of very rich diggings in a large flat below the canon at a\ndepth of from fifty to sixty feet from the surface. Old channels were\nstruck, and the lead has been traced a quarter of a mile along the flat;\nfrom two hundred to three hundred ounces per day have been taken ^\n202\nTHE BRITISH COLUMBIAN\nout of some of the rich claims above the canon during the last two\nyears, but it is anticipated that even this yield will be exceeded during\nthe coming season, and that these diggings will vie in richness with any\nyet discovered in California or Australia. The late discoveries in William's Creek resemble in character the Ballarat diggings to a greate\nextent than any yet discovered on this coast; and it is expected that\nthis creek will give employment to 4,000 or 5,000 miners during the\ncoming season. Hill diggings were struck in the early part of the\nseason on Last Chance, a tributary of Lightning Creek; and Van\nWinkle, Davis, Anderson and other gulches on the same creek paid\nwell during the season.\nLightning Creek, during the greater portion of its course, runs\nthrough wide and deep flats, and from its size and sudden freshets to\nwhich it is liable, presents many obstacles to speedy and successful\nworking; in those parts of its course, however, where it runs through\ncanons, and owing to its comparative shallowness from the surface to\nthe bed-rock, it presents fewer obstacles, and the result has been highly\nsuccessful and many rich claims have been opened. Besides these,\nmany other creeks were worked, and with great success, amongst whieh\nmay be mentioned Burns, Lowhie, Nelson, Sugar, and Willow Creeks.\nMost of these creeks head in the range of Bald Mountains, and these\nare remarkable for the vast number of quartz veins which they contain,\nwhich will undoubtedly be found to contain auriferous deposits when\nthe country is sufficiently developed to allow the mining capitalists to\nundertake enterprises having other results than the exigencies of the\nmoment in view.\nThe greatest drawback to the general progress of the country and\nthe individual success of the miner hitherto, has been owing to the\nwant of cheap and unfailing communication between the sources of\nsupply and the mines, but during the last season energetic measures\nhave been taken by Government to inaugurate a different state of\naffairs. Upwards of $350,000 have been expended in the construction\nof wagon roads, which, on their completion during the ensuing season,\nwill reflect credit both on the Government and the hardy pioneers whose\nearly hardships and struggles have rendered such magnificent undertakings a'possibility. These roads start from two points, viz: Yale\nand Lillooet, on the upper Fraser. . The road from Yale to its junction\nwith the main trunk road from Lillooet, has been constructed under the\nimmediate supervision of Capt. Grant, of the Corps of Royal Engineers, and is probably the finest public work on the Pacific Coast.\nVast sections of the road have been blasted along the face of precipitous rocks, where five years ago the construction of even a mule trail\nwas a matter of speculation. Thirteen miles above Yale the road will AND VICTORIA DIRECTORY.\n203\ncross the river, and a contract for the construction of a bridge at that\npoint has been taken and will be completed early this season; from\nthence it runs to Lytton at the confluence of the Thompson and Fraser\nrivers (passing along the face of the canon so famous in the early days\nof Fraser river adventure), and after passing up the Thompson and\nBuonaparte rivers, forms a junction with the main road about fifty miles\nfrom Lillooet.\nThe road from Lillooet (which is the terminus of what is called the\nHarrison Lake or Douglas route) will be connected with Parsonville,\non the east side of the Fraser, by a bridge, and runs along the Fraser\nabout twenty miles to Pavilion Creek; thence over the Pavilion\nMountain, and after its junction with the road from Lytton, proceeds\nthrough Cut-off-Valley and a generally level country to William's Lake.\nAt this point the old and most generally used trails pass via Beaver\nLake to the Forks of Quesnelle \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 from thence up the north fork via\nthe mouth of Keithley's Creek into the Cariboo country. It is considered, however, that the best route is by Fort Alexandria, and the wagon\nroad will probably be constructed to that point during the coming\nseason. A steamer was constructed last year at Fort Alexander to ply\nbetween that point and the mouth of Quesnelle River \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 and trails run\nfrom thence to the mouth of Lightning Creek, and up that creek to the\nhead of the Cariboo country. The construction of these works will,\nwithout doubt, so reduce the cost at tbe mines of all kinds of supplies\nas to enable the country to be thoroughly explored and prospected, the\nresults of which will probably surpass tbe most sanguine expectations. 204\nTHE BRITISH COLUMBIAN\nTHE PEACE RIVER MINES.\nAt the present moment, when these new gold fields are attracting so\nmuch attention among the mining population of the Pacific Coast, a\nshort statement of what has been discovered there, and of what is\nknown respecting that portion of the country, will doubtless prove\ninteresting to the public.\nThe Finlay Branch of Peace River forms the northern boundary of\nBritish Columbia, and is situated in about latitude fifty-six degrees\nnorth. It flows east through the Rocky Mountains, and empties its\nwaters into the Mackenzie River via the Great Slave Lake^ The\nroute which has hitherto been traveled by the few miners who have\npenetrated there from Cariboo, is from the mouth of Quesnelle River\nup the Fraser to Fort George, a distance of one hundred miles; thence\nup Stuart's River by water to Fort St. James, one hundred and fifty\nmiles; from Fort St. James a portage of eighty miles over a good\nHudson Bay Company's pack trail, brings the traveler to Fort McLeod,\non McLeod's Lake; on descending McLeod's River for twenty-five\nmiles, the Peace River is reached, one hundred miles above its junction\nwith the Finlay branch, which comes in from the north-west in the\nimmediate vicinity of the pass in the Rocky Mountains through which\nthe river flows in a due east course. This would give a distance of\nthree hundred and fifty-five miles from Quesnelle to Peace River, and\nfour hundred and fifty-five miles to the Finlay branch, on which the\nbest diggings have been struck. With the exception of the eighty\nmiles portage, the entire route.is by water; it is, however, asserted on\ngood authority that a much nearer road can be taken, and McLeod's\nLake reached from the Fraser without going round by Fort Stuart.\nIn the year 1861, Edward Carey and W. Cust, two miners from the\nQuesnelle River, descended Peace River for two hundred miles. The\ndescent was made in a canoe during high water, which is in the month\nof June. They returned as soon as the water fell low enough to enable them to prospect the bars, and prospected the entire journey back.\nGold was discovered in paying quantities on all the bars, with the\nexception of those situated within the pass in the Rocky Mountains.\nOwing to the want of provisions they had to return to McLeod's Lake,\nbringing with them the sum of $1,000. This was obtained by working AND VICTORIA DIRECTORY\n20L\nfor a day or two on those bars which presented the least difficulties to\nget at whilst on their way back. The highest day's work made was\nf Sixty-five dollars to the hand.\nMessrs. Carey and Cust. wintered that year at the mouth of the\nQuesnelle, but before the winter set in they took the precaution to\nreturn to McLeod's Lake and store at the Hudson Bay Fort a sufficient\nquantity of provisions to last five men for the ensuing season. In the\nmonth of June, which they consider much too late, they reached the\nPeace River again, in company with three others, named Peter Toy,\nJoseph Oates, and Ezra Evans. They did fifty days washing, and\nspent the rest of the season prospecting, returning in the month of\nOctober with $1,200 each. They found scarcely a single bar which\ndid not pay from ten to fifteen dollars to the hand for a fair day's work.\nAfter working fifty days on the main river, they ascended the Finlay'\nbranch for a distance of twenty miles from its junction with the former\nstream, and found still better prospects than ever. They intend returning to the Finlay this spring, some of the company having returned to\nFort McLeod and stored a quantity of provisions.\nDuring the latter part of the season of 1862 five more men made\ntheir appearance on Peace River. Four were in one company\nand did about twelve days' washing, taking out nearly $1,000. The\nremaining prospector arrived just in time to return in search of winter\nquarters, and, consequently, did not make much by his expedition.\nThe gold found is somewhat heavier than that on the Fraser, and is\nwhat is known as scaly surface gold.\nThe main Peace River has a very similar appearance to the upper\nFraser at Alexandria, with the exception that the banks are generally\nlower. The gravel appeared to the prospectors much firmer and better\nlooking. There is some good agricultural land along the river on both\nslopes of the Rocky Mountains. Plenty of moose, cariboo and beaver\nwere seen by the miners, who unfortunately had no weapons with them.\nThis is up to the present time all that is known of what promises to\nbecome one of the best and most extensive mining districts in British\nColumbia. Only two miners were there in 1861, and but ten in 1862.\nOf the truth of their reports there can be but little doubt, as the gold\nthey brought down was seen by many citizens in Victoria. The mining season on Peace River will be longer than in Cariboo, as, although\nsome distance further north, yet the elevation must be considerably less.\nShould the season of 1863 prove by its results that Peace River is\nindeed the rich country it is at present thought to be, surely the Government will not allow its discoverers, Messrs. Carey & Cust, who penetrated five hundred mile's into a comparatively unknown country, to\ngo unrewarded. 206\nTHE BRITISH COLUMBIAN\nTHE TERRITORY OF STICKEN.\nIn consequence of the discovery of gold on the bars of a large river\nemptying itself into the Pacific Ocean, in latitude fifty-eight degrees\nnorth, flowing through the belt of land (thirty miles in breadth) which.\nthe Russians own on the coast, north of fifty-four degrees, forty minutes,\nthe Home Government determined to found a new Colony north of\nBritish Columbia, to be known as the Territory of Sticken. The\nboundaries of the Territory, as defined by the Order of the Privy\nCouncil, are, the Finlay branch of Peace River and the boundary of\nBritish Columbia on the south; the sixty-first parallel of latitude on\nthe north ; the Russian possessions on the west; and the one hundred\nand twenty-fifth meridian of longitude on the east. The Governor of\nBritish Columbia is empowered to administer justice and to make laws\nwithin the Territory.\nThe discovery of gold on the Sticken River was first made by a\nFrench Canadian, named Choquette, in the Autumn of 1861, who\nascended the river with the Indians a distance of one hundred and\nninety miles. The reports that he circulated in Victoria caused a rush\nto that district in the following spring; and during the season, at least\neight hundred adventurers left Vancouver Island for the mines; of these,\nnumbers were unused to the hardships of a mining life, and did not\nproceed any further than the mouth of the Sticken. The number of\nmen who reached the mining district, which commences one hundred\nand fifty miles up the river, did not amount to more than five hundred.\nThe river has two or three mouths, and its greatest breadth at the\nprincipal outlet is about half a mile. For the first one .hundred miles\nthe stream has many sloughs and bends, and in some places the water\nruns with great rapidity. It is navigable for steamers of light draught,\nfor four months in the year, for a distance of one hundred and eighty\nmiles, and the \" Flying Dutchman,\" Capt. Moore, made several trips\nto Shakesville, a mining town situated on the north bank of the river;\none hundred and seventy miles from its mouth. Twenty miles above\nShakesville, what is termed the Great Canon commences, and the river\nfrom that point is no longer navigable for canoes, except at very low\nwater, and is even then attended with great risk.\nThe diggings below the canon are of the same character as those on AND VICTORIA DIRECTORY.\n207\nthe Fraser\u00E2\u0080\u0094the gold being very fine and difficult to save. The bars\ndid not turn out as good as was at first anticipated, only one paying\nfrom ten dollars to twenty dollars per day to the rocker. Carpenter's\nBar was the best locality struck, and two or three claims yielded about\nthree ounces a day to the rocker. From twenty miles below Shakesville up to the mouth of the Canon gold is found on the surface of all\nthe bars in small quantities, and the color can be obtained all over the\nvalley and at an elevation of 2,000 feet above the river. In the Canon\nand in a small stream known as the North Fork, coarse gold is found\non the bed-rock in places, and by some companies ten to fifteen dollars\na day was made to the hand. Prospecting parties who packed round\nthe Canon, which is estimated to be from eighty to one hundred miles\nlong, report a good looking mineral country at the head of it. The\nriver there is deep with a steady current, and the country undulating\nand covered with luxuriant grass. Enough and suitable timber can be\nhad for boat building. Gold was found on all the bars, and in many\nplaces in paying quantities, but as no provisions could be had, no work\nwas done. Cariboo, bear, beaver and grouse were numerous. The\ngeological features of the country most remarkable above Shakesville\nand around the Canon are the washed gravel hills, which are quite\ndestitute of timber and of great hight, and also the masses of lava\nand basaltic rocks which are every where met with. This section of\nthe country is very dry and arid during the summer and bush fires are\nof frequent occurrence.\nThe upper Sticken Indians pay periodical visits to the North Fork,\nwhere they are met by the Indians from the mouth who trade furs from\nthem. A large quantity of valuable furs are annually brought in from\na long distance in the interior, and as the lower Indians are rapidly\ndying off, this trade will shortly be carried on by whites and prove very\nprofitable. The interior Indians are a quiet and well disposed race,\nbut object as yet to work or pack for the whites;\nThere is but little doubt that the progress of the Sticken country will\nbe 6low for some time, as it is very improbable that anything can be\ndone in the way of road making during the ensuing season, or until a\nrevenue be collected. Without passable trails for pack animals the\ncountry does not offer much inducement to the miner. It is stated that\nthe Governor will send some surveyors up this season to report on the\ncountry, which is represented as being easily traversed. That there is\na rich and extensive gold district somewhere on the upper waters of\nthe Sticken is generally admitted, and about eighty miners are winter-^\ning in that northern latitude for the purpose of making further explor-*\nO * **\nations next summer. It is worthy of remark that the Finlay branch of\nPeace River, on which rich deposits of float gold have been found, must -\n208\nTHE BRITISH COLUMBIAN DIRECTORY.\nhead in the same range of mountains as the Sticken, but probably further\nsouth. The true course of the latter river from the mouth up for a distance of three hundred miles has been found to be about north-east.\nSticken is distant from Victoria about eight hundred miles. The\nRussians have shown every disposition to encourage settlements at the\nmouth, and last summer promised every assistance in their power to\nparties staying there. \u00E2\u0080\u0094\t\nSAN ERANCISCO ADVERTISEMENTS.\n209\nA.
