Second, would our lives bo safe, I understand thai !iO men who worked on Pine and Summit creeks last Benson mado moro than wages Would thut be a good point to strike foi ? If plnoor failed, could wo get cm ploymcut, mnl nt what wages? What is tho coat or living? Charitably give una moment of your lima I'm* tho go id of all in answering liie above, uud greatly obligo IS. E. Towsh, llu!) Kim st, ' Manchester, N. II. Wo are in receipt of dozens of loL- tera monthly, inquiring about mining wages, living, &0., in Cariboo, but ilm above is ono that wo deem should iio anBworod in print, for tlio reason that it ronlly covers many points of Inquiry that people in tho cast dosiru to know nnd should he posted ou bc- foio starting for Cariboo. Wo judgo that 81.35 per Jay in Manchester is h good standard of wages, for the place, md there aro many people in British Columbia who haven't made that, but tho rale of wages is higher here, At tho same time everything else i_ higher in liko proportion*. Only tt percentage of tho actual residents of the province nra engaged ily in mining, but much ofthe prosperity of lhe province is directly dependent on the steady How of gold from tho placer mines of the rivers and creeks. In order to pay at all ihe output ol the mines must bo much more than $1 115 per day. Wages in the mines tiro from &".,.0 to .4 per day and board, Tlicie is probably no given region on earth whero scrurlty to life and property ia assured us in British Columbia, and there is no danger to be feared, oscopt from natural causes, or such ills n*s overtake tho human race anywhere, or when engaged in any employment. While British Columbia lias furnished some of the liveliest mining oampson record, and (-ports end attending profligacy flourished, the history of mining in the. province has not furnished any of the horrid butcheries and killings which have painted iu crimson the histories of so tnuny mining camps in "the Slates." The desperado never gained a foothold here and lie never will, Wiien lhe first rush of miners came up the const from California in 1858 they were naturally accompanied by many recltle& and dissolute characters, but when thoy stepped across tho lino on to British Columbia soil, ihey instantly became tame, so tame, in fact, thnt tliey became afraid to carry weapons, .lulgo Begbie told tbe first of them that "If thero was shooting, tliero would be hanging." And ho meant it, too, nud as a result, tlio killings by desperadoes, iu nil the history of our mines, from the first to the present time, can bo counted on the lingers of ono hand, and none at all for about 20 years. Taking the facts into consideration we conclude that tho lives of the New Hampshire boys would be reasonably safe, unless Horn the effects of the deadly flap- jack or bean, quantities of which aro consumed against all laws of nature by the majority nf miners. Somo of llio miners try to circumvent tho 1 flapjacks and bean by tho use of leath r bread and beef soup dumplings, but the efleets ure nearly lhe snme. Wo don't know whether the inquirers could do better iu British Columbia than whero lliey ar - or not, but there are u great many people who think they can do better in Cariboo than any where else. We arc of Lhe opinion that they cun, A number of men did very well working in Tine ami Summit creeks last year, but there aro probably numerous other creeks whore equally good results can be obtained.
