YEITH & BORLAND. The Consolidated Cariboo Hydraulio Milling Company, Ltd., of Bullion, Cariboo district. B.C., completed the cleanup for tbe second ran ou tho 1st instuut und bnve shipped tbe result thereof in one largo ingot of solid gold, weighing 9,040 troy ounces (753 lha 4 ounces) valued at $!..â !JIm.OO. This, wo are informed, is the product of u run of 08 days washing with 2750 miners inches of water, and is probably the largest ingot of gold ever shipped oist aoross the contineut from an liydrauiio mine. Tho product in largo when it ia considered 'thnt tho company wus compelled to suspend washing operations for nbout 'Jl days, awaiting tho arrival of expiosires, which wore delayed in delivery ou account of tho hoavy aud Impassable condition of the rendu between Ashcroft nnd Bullion. Wore it not for thin delay aud serious loss of waabing time llio product of tho second run would nodaiibtbiivoroai.il- Od nbout 1210,000,00. This »ri mn h»s in product to the Consolidated Cariboo limit en apparent t ho neoossity for immediately placing tho main Cariboo road In propor condition for tho transportation of tho largo quantities or heavy freight ami mining supplies required nt Horsolly. Bullion, Quesnel Forks, aud Barkerville. It appears Jtrange, however, that largo mining compuuies do not take advantage of good winter roads aud get tbeir season's supplies on sleighs, when freighting oau be douo at less cost to tho mine owner as well ns the freighter, aud by doiug so avoid delays caused by heavy rouds, that must be expected duriug tho summer months. It is understood that the Consolidated Cariboo Hydraulio Mining Co. has stored iu its extensive system of reservoirs, sufficient wator to ruu the mine full time for over sixty days, bo we may look for another large shipment of bullion before the end ofthe season, and we are safe in saying tbat the product of the season of 1900 will greatly exceed 9300,000.

WORK ON THE CARIBOO ROAD "His interesting to observe," said a passenger oo tho last down stage, "bow tba various road gangs, scattered along tbe length of tbe Cariboo road go about their work, and how tbey succeed in making permanent whatever work they do. Of course, road- making is something like running an bote), for everybody thinks be can do it better than tbe fellows who are giving it close attention and perhaps bave made it a careful study for years. Nevertheless we oannot look at tbe manner of work adopted and the successive work gangs without forming some opinion as to which is likely to prove tbe best and most permanent. Coming down the road I saw some first olass work being done, and done, too, as if some intelligent interest were taken in the work, while in othor cases it seemed to be that the workmen were simply putting in their time|with- out regard for permanency, and with a desire only to cover up the bad spots for the preseut aud let the future take care of itself. For instance, it seemed to me palpably absurd for a road gang to throw a lot of dirt on top of a mud bole and expect tbe mud to disappear iuBtanter. And yet tbis is being done in dozens of places on tbe Cariboo road tbis fall. I realize tbe diflloulty of reforming tbo muddy parts wben there is no gravel to be bad for probably miles arouud. And yet some gangs were getting over tbis difficulty and making a good job, while others were merely heaping on more dirt, which in tho eud would mean making moro mud. I saw stretches of soft, muddy parts covered to a depth of two reet with soft dirt whioh only required a rainfall or two to make the whole highway one soft and sticky mass. We desire to cover up the original mud and let the future take caro of itself, was evi- dentally uppermost in tbo minds of the workmen, "While this was true in some cases, it was not the oaso in all. I saw plenty of good intelligent work being done, and where gravel waa plentiful the question of making better roads was not a serious oue, and tbe men were doing good work, Where no gravel was to be had I also saw good work done. The manner if work was this: In case of deep boles tbey wore filled iu witb smull boulders.whlch were broken into reasonably small hard-beads with a sledgo hammer. Long, muddy stretches wero corduroyed flrst and then covered with earth. Tbe corduroy formed a solid bottom tbrougb whioh the heavy-laden wagons could not break, Iu corduroying, progress is necessarily slower, but tbe work will last for a uumber of years, and it is far more economioal to have a good, hard-bottomed road that will stand wear aud tear for some years, ovon if it costs more at flrst, than to pile dirt on top of dirt and expeot a road to be4 tho outcome. "But as I said before, road-making is something like running an hotel, and maybe I don't kuow so muoh about it as I think I do. Nevertheless, 'them's my sentiments,' aud the Journal oan have tbem without any extra charge if it wants 'cm," . CORNISH CREEK Mr, H. W.

LETTER FROM C. F. CORNWALL Editor Ashoroft Journal, Bin:âI havo just returned aftor driving ovor the whole length of road from Ashcroft to Barkerville and during tho journey thus mado was gratified in seeing whnt oxcollent crops |of grain wero being harvested and thrashed out on tho different farms which border tho highway. We in this neighbor, hood huvo el put grounds foi thankfulness aud content with the return for our labors as hnvo our farming friends to whoso crops I hnve referred above, and ou this rstnio I find that tbe yield of grains this yoir is quite worthy of report to thoso interested in suoh mailers. The acreago we cultivate Is hut smull for ihe h onl market will hardly warrant oxteusive agricultural operations, Om- land lias beou under cultivation for .17 years now and ita minimi yield seems to be ns good as over. Wo may 10-cribo tbat facl. to the oharaoter of tho soil, tho wonderful liinnte, the practice of irrigation and, maybe, to Uie skill of tbo farmer, but slill itis wiser to remember tbat, aa hus beeu suid, "Paul may plaut and Appolos muy wntor but it Is the Loan lhut glveth the Increase." This year our barley land has yielded exactly 12 bushels per acre, wheat 41 ?â¢{ bushels to tho acre and tbo >ala, putting their weight ot 40 lbs to the bushel, just 100 bushels per aero. In another way of putting it tho land has yielded 2,470 lbs. of graiu per acre ull round. Theso weights are taken as the grain enmo from the threshing machine und nhout them no doubt can arise. .gain, as to lhe special Ashcroft product-lhe potato. As you know, Ashcroft station is now tbrongod with teams delivering to the railway their magnificently grown tubers, and if all tho crops grown aro as good as ours thero must he thousands of tons weight to be shipped away. As near as 1 cuu muke out (and tbe calculation early exuol) our yield here has just been 500 bushels per aore of market- iblo potatoes. Such yields speak for themselves and require no explanatory paragraphs. Theso yields aud the quality of tbo fruits, roots aud grains that wo grow hereabouts should cer- talnly opon the oyes of those living In loss favored regions, 1 am yours faithfully, C. F. Cornwall.

TRANSVAAL MINES. The English papers aro beginning to iceive accounts from tht Witwatersrand in relation to tho oondition of the mines thero. In almost ovory case the roports corroborate tbo statements mude hy our special correspond during the period when tho Boer forces occupied Johannesburg aud the mines wero entirely uuder thoir control, a rulo there has been no destruction of property. In a fow cases tools and machinery n-hinli could bo used in Uie arsenal wero romoved from the repair shops or engine rooms, hut the number is comparatively small. In lhe mines operated by tho Transvaal Goverumont thu oro blocked out has been taken oul and uo new development work done. A number of mines are full of water and tho mills show the deterioration wbich might bo oxpeoted afler uearly u year's idleness.

GOLD IN NORWAY According to a't dispatch lu lho Ohrisliaua Press, valuable discoveries of gold have boon mude at Kurusjok, iu Kiumaikeu. Tbe gold is ulluviul aud ouo ox pad i tiou is suid to be washing gold ut the rate of $..21) a day. lu other rivers, too, washing is carried on successfully. Tbe expedition bus been organized by minors roturnod from Klondike, whoro most of them hnve beeu uiil'ortuunto, but thoy aro of opinion tbnt the prospects iu lho Lap- laud riverj aro very promising. As. however, is well kuownj small quantities of gold are constantly fouud iutho rivers of Luplaud uud Finland, but hardly su.lli_iti.it lo puy the cost uf extract iou ou a large scale.

THE DREDGER IN GOLD MINING The dredger is growing In popularity i u useful uud economical agont in river mining. Its ohlefjvalue lies, of course, in ils ability to handle at trifling oosl,auriferous gravel deposits iu- aocossablo to ull other methods of mining. Il is enlarging tho Hold or its operations on the Pucilic coast, Almost overy stream lu tho gold hearing belt capable of floating u dredger hus ono or more of these machines at work or preparations ure being made lo Intro- duoo them. For years dredging for gold has been a fixed industry on Klamath river. Tliero are hll.f u dozen of these mammoth machines at work on lho Geather river, each one handling from 2,000 tn 11,000 cubic yards or ma- torlul per day, A scoop dredgor bas beon in successful operation Tor yoars on the Sacramento river near Redding, At Poker Fiat, on lho Trinity river, a dredgor hns been at work for a long time pusl, und one whioh was formerly used In gold mining ou Rogue river, Oregon, is about to bo Installed ut Weaver basin, In the stuuo counly. Tho lattor illustrates in a marked degree lho greut value of Lho dredger iu miuiug ground whieh is dillicult or impossible lo druiii. ll is represented that two yenrs before lho demise of the lato Thomas Ulytho surveys of Weaver bnsin wero made for him with lho view of mining it through a bodrook tunnel. The latter would have beou two miles lu tongth, and it is estimated that it would oost 8000,000 to drulu and opon tho ground. Tho dredger which Is about to ho transferred to tho basin represents possibly less than ouo- twentieth the capital involved In Blylho's ntaus, uud it. is expected that tho gold-boarlug doposit lying there can he handled at a cost or uot more than 1 cents per cubic yard . Ouo of tho lurgest dredgers ever constructed is afloat In Vreka crook, lu Siskiyou county. It bus beou at work for several weeks but so fur us roportod its success has been only moderate, becauso of mishaps to the machinery, A lurge dredging enter- rise is about to be started at the potholes on tho California side of tho Uol- ado river, uud Arkansas capitalists ie become interested iu a similar, enterprise on the banks of tho samo Stream in tho I_i.ig.iua district. Machines of this kind aro nlso to ho used ditto Croek In the vicinity of Chico: on tho American river nnd also tu the Stanislaus. Outside of this Stale dredgers are in ployed iu gold raining iu Montana, whero theso machines wero first introduced iu miuiug ou the Pactllc Coast, iu Oregon, Idaho aud British Columbia. Several dredgers are working regularly in tho hed of tho Fraser river aud are reputed to ho lifting lots of gold from tho bottom of tho stream; others are to'be installed ou ibo Saskatchewan river, on tho eastern side of the rockios.

HOSPITAL A Touching Sketch of X O Two Patient! Wbo Sailed £ Together. + BY P. Y. BLACK. â + J+0+0+0+0+0+0++0+0+0+0+0+0+ In tin. little couutry hospital the young nurses were very good aud attentive to everybody, not having been In the business long enough to lin vc grown callous. Tlicy were nice girls, mostly ln tlieir first year's course, nml their lips would twitch and their fnecs whiten very often lu the operating room or when they held a patient's hnnd while he died In tho niglil. Hut they were brave and went about tho liretty hospital singing softly In tiie cool corrltlors, carrying little whito clothed trays to tiro sickrooms nml being tlie best of medicine* themselves by reason of their neatness, tbelr bright eyes aud their kind voices. Now, uno beautiful bright spriug afternoon at the railroad Junction lu llio town two trains Altai with pleastiro Hookers tounid.ed together, and the doctors ami the matron nnd the nurses were plunged Into a world of work, for ntnbtilnnco nfter ambulance came drlv> Ing up from the scone of the accident and left lo tho enro of the girls many people sorely hurt. And among them wan n very little hoy about (t years old whom uoboily knew anything about lie- CAU8Q his fnther nnd mother wcru both killed lu tlio collision, and there was nothing on them lo show who or what tlioy were except that they wero very poor. It is comprehensible that a very great deal nf attention was paid to this little fellow, nnd he would linve been placed lu thc women's ward, ns tho hospital was too small fo/ a children's ward, but tlio women's ward was full, t-o thc boy, unite Insensible, wna laid on i cot iu the men's wnrd, and next to hlm was laid a big brown bearded man, also insensible, from whose clothes had been gathered quite a mm of money and who** tow papers went to ihow ho had been a sailor. lie was a rery rough looking man Indeed, The mnu came to his senses first, and It wns night. The nurse on watch was quite frightened nt the man. He wai In pain, nnd great allowance must be mado for that, but nover In nil her life had tho littlo nurso to listen to such words ns came from the big brown beanleil man's lips. lie wanted to get up and go right awny, but ho found he could not move his great massive legs. So he began to abuse hli fato and the railway and tho hospital and the nurse and mankind In general, lie wns a Terr bitter mouthed man Indeed. The little nurse by the light of the night lamp did her best to soothe him be* cause ho roused othor patients, and there wna a terrible gronnlng and wall* Ing in the small ward. And all at once the littlo boy came to hli senses, too, just for a minute, and his face was turned to the sailor's face, and bis eyes fell upon the sailor'* eyes. He was not quito Kcnslblc yet, for It seemed ho mistook the sailor for hia dead papa, and ho said very prettily: "(Iood morning, dad. Uow aro you this morning." Tho sailor, looking Into thc littlo fellow's eyes, was abashed nnd stopped his swearing nnd wns silent for a moment ami then muttered clumsily: "I'm all right." "That's nice," said the boy and became unconscious ngnin. The sailor tlid not abuse anything any more just then, but lay groaning, nml every now ami again whon the little nurso slipped by In tbo shadows he culled to her softly, and tho flrst time ho said; "Pretty littlo chap." The nurse nodded nnd smiled, and tho sailor smiled back, and until morning came nt lnst he only groaned and watched the child nnd did not curse at all, but every time tho nurso came to wipe his brow or give him n drink he whispered to her to look at thc boy. "Protty boyl He thought I was his dnd," he said and would have laughed only his pain made him groan Instead. Again he caught the nurse's hand. "Said It was nice, he did. Cute, ain't he';" And then his face twisted fa pain. But neither could the sailor rise from his back, and neither could the sailor hope to sail tho sea again, for he was lu tbe same case with tht child. and hoth wore ilovly dying. At flrst sometimes tho big brown man would forget himself In his pain, nnd the nurses would shut tbelr cars, terrified, and thc matron would threaten to move bim to a room by himself, and that frightened him to silence, for ever stneo thu accident he bad a great love for thc child. The child would look at his hugo friend In surprise when he fell Into ono of his rages and aay: "Oh, John, Hint's not nice!" And John would bite his lips Bt once and bc patient. Then tho child would pay: "How do you feel, John?" And tho sailor would answer: "First rote, Joe." "That's nice," little Joe wotrid aay. And they would lie quiet and look out of the window at the river and beyond where tho big hills purpled to the skies and were always tooklug up. So It was in the mornings, when Joe secmcil always first awake nnd ready to have his baud., nnd faco washed by the nurse. Uo could not turn nbout to ki-u the other patients, but ho learned nil their names, and as soon as he lieiinl lliem moving ho always naked very politely: "And how do you feel, Mr. Smith?" Aud Mr. Smith would always answer because It plcnscd tho child: "First rate, Joe." "Thnt'a nice," said Joe. And so he wimld nsk each In turn, and to each answer, always tho snme, lie would reply cliei'l'fldlV. "Tlml'i »l"<*" And when they asked him bow It went with him lie always said, though sometimes with nu effort, "I'm pretty well, thank you." Then everybody would sny with roal pleasure, "That's nice, Joe." So tlie BinuiiH-i' went on, nud very few patients cume to tho hospital, and Johu anil .loo woro all alono, save for tbe nurses who grow to dread .the tlmo tbnt was soon to part tbe frionds. At last they told the sailor thnt there was no hope at nil for lilm, A clergyman enme to prepare him. Uc took the news very calmly, but instantly whispered: "Autl the Utile fellow, Joe?" "Don't tell hlm," said tho minister. "He is so innocent lie needs no preparation. But you?" For dnys the poor sailor was In much trouble, and one night he whispered to his little companion: "Joe, say yon was rich as Vnudcrbilt nnd ho wns going a lung sail, would you leave mo behind'." "No, John," said the child very earnestly; "1 would wnnt you to como too." "Would you fool sorry, Joo, to sail awny and leave mo on tho wharf, orâ or if you was safo In a fine bigmtfifp, nee mo busted to pieces ou the rowf-fi^ "John," snid the child, "I would jump ont nnd pull you lo my ship, I would." "Good old Joo," sultl the sailor, and said nothing more until prayer time, when ho squeezed Joe's hnnd nud whispered: "Pray bnnl, Joo. Pray hard for mo to conic along. 1'ray for two, Joe." An.l little Jot- prayed for two. Tho two used io watch for the senrchllglit of tho big night boat which rnn between two meat cities tin llio river. When tllO steamer turned a point, lis liKlit Unshed for nn Instant full on the front of the litllo hospital. Joe nnd John, liinui lu lut ml, very, very weak now, would lie ami wnteh for It. Joo had made a story tlmt it knew they wero there mid mil Hod In ou purpose to Bay "Good Might." Alwnys hu piped "good night" in roturn nud John also, Then Joo, sipieeziii!,' Ihe once powerful tm I iv hand, would feebly nsk: "How do .vnil feel, Jobn, tonight?" "First rale, .Ine" poor John would nnswer, wilh a smathored groan. "That's nice." And lliey would lie very still orgrad unlly go to sleep. And so one night tho steamboat enmo up the river nnd turned the point and cast ils light upon ihe littlo hospital.

This was a littlo too much, and hor grace was requested to withdraw from Iho court, Kitty announcing, with characteristic composure, thnt the command was wry agree- nble to her, as she had never gone there for her own diversion, but to bestow civility upon the king and queen.âGood Words. >â¢ thc KhhMkIi Cabinet Bt.ii SecrotS of stale are pl'obnl kept of mi secrets.
