The richrst nf tlieso marvellous auriferous alluvinl deposits are in the Cariboo dlsttlet,it region which, with the neighboring mines of Omineoo and Casshir, has yielded over $1)0,000,000 in yellow mo till sineo their dltoovery. Cariboo is jet a virgin field for the miner, that fabulous output being the result of oxploralinns and operations necessnrily confuted to ll e surface, the enormous cost and almost insuperable ditli cullies of tradeport*ng heavy machinery necessitating tho employment of the most primitive appliances iu minni;. These obstacles to tho tul development of the marvellously rich gold fields of Caribco have been largely overcome by the construction of the Canadian Pacific railwny, and the improvement of the great highway from that railway to northern British Columbia, with the result that the wmk of development has been vigorously anrl extensively prosecuted. During the past two years several costly hydraulic plants have been introduced by different wealthy mining companies which are now operating well-known claims with most gratifying results, and there is every prospect of a second gnlilen harvest which in its immensity and value will completely overshadow that which mado Cariboo famous thirty years ago. Severn! very promising quartz bearing locations are also being developed in tlie Lillooet district, and as machinery capable of tretting the refractory ore on the most improved methods will soon be imported, the excellent results already attained are attracting miners and mining men in large numbers. The Cariboo region and northern interior of British Columbia can only be reached by railway to Aslieroft, thence by stage. Traveling by day only' Quesnelle and other points are renehed in three days, Barkerville in four. The roads are excellent, and the (flopping places convenient. mmkmmmmmmmt Cariboo Wagon Road Directory. fiE'iIiFEB!ALiEIWMGO.' IS fVMLOOPS, 13.
