Work will be pushed throughout the fall and winter energetically, and it is the belief Of those interested iu the property that tho successful issue of this work will open up a vast tract of the old channel of Lightning creek, from which so many millions were takon out in the seventies. Major H.

It is understood that a shaft will be started on tho Eleven of England ground, and tho heavy machinery installed immediately. With two companies with apparently largo capital behind thom operating on Lightuing croek wo may look forward with confidence to a return of old timo prosperity, us in mining in Lightning crook it is only necessary to so operato as to extract the gold eco'uom- ieally, Tho fact of tho gold being in the ground is not questioned by ouy one familiar with Cariboo mines. of tho Cottonwood, and it is further said that tho indications are continuing very favorable, The North Slur mine iii laid over for the season, The Nino-Mile claim is being worked -by Ohinamen on a lay, W.

Thomas Williamson, wife and threo ildren. left this week for Asheroft, whero they will tako train for Brooklyn, B.C., tho residonco of Mrs. Williamson's people. Mr, Williamson bus beon iu the employ of S. Bohnnou for the past two years iu the Quesnello meat market, W, A. Johnson lias been spending somo time ut Barkervlllo where he 1ms valuable mining property. It is reported that a salo of a property owned by (Try and Johnson at that point is about to consummated. Work on tho Cottonwood mines, of which G. F, Betts is superintendent, is now being pushed along, about forty mon being employed. It is uow thought by Mr, Betts that a short run may bo had on tho property yet this season, although thero yot remains a great deal of work to do, ami much dopends on tho season. A large amount of money has beeu expended ou this property, and a successful run yot this season will ho very good nows to all lu this section as well as to tho English boldors of tho stock. Work is still going ou ut lho tunnel across tlio Praser from Quesuolle for the Golden Province Minos sold by C. P. Law. The contractor, Mr. Clark, bos gono up to Hlxon creek to do somo work on the quartz mines owned by tbo llixou Creek Company. The tunnel on the Law's proporty has to bo ruu some distanco yet before thc old ohutv noi predicted to bo thero by Dr, Dawson, Dr. Arthur Selwyn and others will be lapped. When this is douo if tho predictions of tho celebrated geologists Mr. and Mrs. P, C. Laird arrivod In Ashcroft on Tuesday night from eastern Cauada, where they havo been spending somo months, and left for Barkerville on Wednesday. During a pleasant call ut the JOURNAL olllce Mr. Laird informed us that he bud a largo quantity of freight, about CO.000 pounds, soon to be in for shipment to his mines on Willow river. Among tbo rest of tbe machinery is a new pump that, wheu in operation, will raise :.,(J00 gallons of water per minute 100 feet or more. With his uow machinery in place rapid work will be douo in the long 600 foot drift that now extends out under tho bed of tbo Willow river from tho bottom of tbo shaft sunk in bedrock uear tho bank of the stream. Mr. Laird has broken through tbo rim of tho old channel in three distinct places and while not enough work has been douo to show as yot to acertainty tho absolute value of the gravel, he now knows that there is not less than eight or teu feet of the old blue gold- bearing gravel abovo bodrock aud lying under tho stratae of clay abovo. He hay tried enough ol the gravel t- know that it is rich iu gold. Ho has uo hesitation in suviug that ho will be ablo to handle the water without further dilllculty, aud in the near futuro tho Willow river mines will become regular producers. Mr. Laird bas labored long and faithfully to bring about this result, and while he know comparatively nothing of deep mining whon ho ilrst visited Cariboo four years ago, ho is now among those best posted in that class of miuiug. In all of these fojar years' work it is only fair to say tbat if Mr. Laird bus had trouble of any kiud with his laboring mon it has not bocomo knowu. On tho contrary, ho is invariably spokon of as as a man who pays bis employees and treats them well. He has had a long nud trying experience and bis many frieuds, as well as tho couutry in general, who havo watched his work iu Cariboo, will rejoice if, as uow seems the case, his property is soon put on a paying bnsis. Those who contemplato working tbe deep mines of Cariboo can learn much from tho experience of Mr, Laird. During tho entire timo that Mr. Laird has beeu ou Willow river, Mrs. Laird buy also resided there, and while to most pooplo it would at first seem very lonely, Mrs. Laird states that she does uot Hud it at ail tho caso, but on the contrary oujoys a lifo in Cariboo.

Lynch, a member of tlio Ogilvie party, cume on to Ashcroft tho fore part of tho wook and stayed olf for a day gathering what Infor- motiou be could regarding tho wants of this section relative to railroad transportation north to tho Teslin lake section. Mr. Lynch goes with tbo Ogilvie party to gather information on various subjects for tho department, ond itis fair to suppose that his reports will receive consideration. Mr. Lynch seems to taken very rational view oftho transportation question, viz., that no all Canadian routo can bo established pf it bo au all land route aud from some point on the 0. P. R., and that point apparently Ashcroft, to connect with tho headwaters of tho Yukon, and bis idea also is thut iu time a road should be built across country from Kilniiinlnn and eastern points west to Port Simpson or some other coast poinl. This latter purl, oftho proposition ho thinks should bo Icopb lu view but la uot. imperative, as is tho build ing of asection of road nortli from Asbcroft. Of Mr. Lynch und his work tho following is taken rrom tbo Montreal Dally Star of July 23rd: Mr. William Henry Lynch, who bns made a eloso study of mining matters in the Kootenay couutry, will accompany -Mr. William Ogilvio, tho administrator of tbo Yukon, to Dawson City- Mr. Lynch goes in tho capacity of an expert on miuiug matters, particulary with regard to tho new regulations which will bo established in tbo Klondike. Thero aro necessarily some mat tors iu this connection which aro uot workiug smoothly iu tbo northern El Dorado, and Mr. Lynch's particular cure will bo to see that justice is done both the government aud tbo miners; that uew regulations be drawn up to fit special conditious, aud that tho miners shall bc mado to feel that their interests aud thoso of tho goverumout aro identical iu tho working of claims, and in all connected therewith. William Henry Lynch was born at Danville, Que.. July __5tb, 1817. In bis youth bo worked as a tolograph operator, and was aftorwards muuager of the old Danville slato quarry. Wheu the quarry appeared to be wotked out aud was closed Mr. Lynch turned his attention to tbe duiry question, and wus part iuventorof a number of improved nppliauees for butter making, iir. Lynch begau an agitation throughout tlio couutry fora reforai in tho methods then in vogue. Prom 1S81 to 18S0 he speut most of his timo and money in efforts tourouso tho attention of tho farmers to the groat opportunities before thorn in the manufacture of butter and cheese for export. His work attracted tho attention oftho late Professor Arnold, of Rochester, who invited him lo that city to carry on experiments in the treatment of milk, and tho manufacture of butter, and wbo returned the obligation by coming to Cauada to testify to Mr. Lynch's work iu the interest of the Cnundiau farmer. During this time Mr. Lynch be- camo the author of a book on "Scientific Butter-making," which the government boiiRbt for general distribution among tbo Ontario farmers. Among tho direct results of this work wus ibe establishment of a governmout creamery aud tho incorporation of dairy work as a special department of tho Agricultural College at Guelph. "Sciontiilc Butter makiug" was followed by "Butter and Cbeeso," of which 70,000 copies wero issued in English aud Proucb, Tbo edition was exhaust ed within a yoar, and this led to a larger work entitled "Scientific Dairy Practice," of which 100,000 copies were printed. During theso years Mr. Lynch do livored huudred of public lectures to farmers' aud dairymen's assochitious, besides addresses to various Boards cf Trado throughout Cauada. These were dolivorod iu most cases without compensation for bis traveling expenses. To see what was being accomplished by other countries Mr. Lynch made a tour through Denmark, Norway, Swo den, Holland and Germauy, aud gave tho results of his kuowlodgo to tho public iu a series of interesting letters, to the lcadiug Canadian papers. Ho had all along urged federal aotiou by tbe Cauadlau government to promoto the exports ot tho dairy products aud closed his letters by a call to Canadian dairymen to moot in a convention in Ottawa. Tho immedinto outcome of this convention was tho appointmout of a Dominion dairy commissionor and the organization of the federal governmental machinery under which our exports of dairy products bavo since iu- oreased witb such roniarablo stridos. Por somo years past Mr. Lynch has devoted much attention to mining, and made somo suggestions for tho improvements of tho B. C. mining laws. Mr. Lynch hus now boon intrusted by tbe Minister of tho Interior with a commission to examine into the working of tho mining regulations of tbo Yukon, aud to roport upou tho same with a view to their improvement. bits from Calgary wesl. absolutely free of freight charges, provided lho ownership of the exhibits is notohanpod, and that they are returned immediately after the show to tho points from which they were originally shipped.

A, Semlin, M.P.P., ihe leader of tho opposition purty, went down to Victoria ou political business lho foro port of the week. Mr. Semlin',*. old friends and supporters without, so lur us we have hoard, u dissenting voice, say emphatically lhal he has tor years headed the light against the government, that ider his leadership the past government met defeat, and tlmt Mr. Semlin is entitled to bo recognized as the lender of the party and should have boon culled upon to tiii'iu a government. Any other course, especially such a course us has boou falcon by the lieutenant, governor, meets with tho em- phatlo disapproval uf the people of this section, aud if tho wishes of Mr. Sem- lio's friends and supporters count with him lie will accqpt nothing less thau ho is by right entitled to, viz: tho premiership of the province. This article is writtenshnplytovoice the sontlmont of tho community where Mr. Semlin has so long resided, aud those whom ho hus so long represeuted in parliament, ami as uhovo stuted so far as we have heard au opiniou expressed by anyone in Mr. Semliu's district., tho sentiment is unanimous that no uew man and no defeated candidate must take precedence over him. Wo believe the article by the pen of P.J. Deane, tho lately elected member for North Yule, expresses tbe general feelings of the voters of the land. The article is ns follows: "The reason given in ono of our despatches thut the lieuleuunt-goveruor had called upou Mr. Beuveu because tho opposition had uot decided upou their louder, is absurd. Charles A. Semliu is the acknowledged leader and it was to him that the lieuteuaut- governor should have turned uuder the oircumstanoes. "iiin- despatches state that Mr. Heaven has undertaken tho responsibility of forming a government. We think he hus undertaken .uuio thing that he will lie unable to accomplish. Mr. Semliu and Joseph Martin bare been invited by .Mr. Beaven to meet; him in Victoria, presumably for the purpose of organizing a government. Neither Mr. Semliu uor Mr. Joe Martin aro ut ull likely to acknowledge Mr. Beaven as a leader. We fancy tho outcome of the situation will l.e that Mr. Beaven will hn've to notify His Honor of bis inability to form a govorumenr, and His Honor will then be compelled lo do what be should have done in the lirst place, cull upon Mr. Semlin. "In calling upou ih*. Beaven His Honoris doubtless acting within his prerogative, but he has taken a decidedly peculiar courso and oue which cun only complicute matters unnecessarily. His Honor is uot supposed to take cognizance of new.paper reports. Ho know that Mr. Semlin was the acknowledged leader of the opposition. * ::; * * It seems to us that some inlluence not in accord with the public wenl must havo actuated liis Honor in the course be has taken."

J.J, Brown, of Dawson city, is n guest at the Stevens hotel, Seattle. Mr. Brown left Dawson July 12th, and wns umoug the pussengers on the steamer Dirigo. He has spent four years in the gold Holds of Alaska und the Klondike. Ilo sold out his claim on Hunker creek, No. 10 below discovery. *i f'w weeks before he left Dawson, and suys he bus left tho couutry forover. It is stuted on good authority thut hisolaim was one of the best ou tbo creok and that he received 800,000 I'm- il. Mr. Brown thinks Alaska u good* place for young men who nre strong und willing towork. He suys that many of tho meu who weut into tho country last full und worked in the mines for wnges mado nil tho way from 91,000 to 82,000. The most of these, be says, will remain thoro und prospect this yoar, nml il' -ortunuto will work their claims next winter.

The banks in Dawson allow miners -.1! mi ounce fur gold deposited with them; they then allow the depositor a rebate after tbo gold has been assayed, not forgetting to charge a liberal rate of exchange for their trouble, Tho Yukon was very low when we left Dawson, but thc water roso considerably on our trip down stream, owing to a henvy rain.

Twolvo thousand dollru-H in gold was brought down by Lho Cariboo singe on Tuesday, tbo tnosl ufil coming from Bavkorvilie, tho balanuo from thollorso* Ily mines, David Diamond was arrested Tuosday morning us a person of unsound mm,I. ll,.- was takon before Mayor Gordon nud romaudod fur eight days. Soutiuol. Ci. I.. Johnson bits bought the Cariboo Exchange and is now in possession of tho same. The price paid by Mr. Johnson is said by report, to have beeu 8-1,000, Itis regarded as a very cheap piece ol' properly. Allison Woods is uow conducting Ihe dining rooms nnd tlicy may bo depended on as being well cared for. A good meal and a clean bed will be furnished by Mr. Woods to any that will favor bim with their patronage. ________________ Harry Woldrun returned this wook from Cariboo in very poor health, He will reluii to liis old home in Minuoso ta to try and regain Ids old time vigor and if bo succeeds be will again return to Cariboo, lie says that ho never saw as favorable an outlook for the mines of ibe upper country us at. present Now properties uro being opened i\: and old ones worked more extensively. Mr. Woblrun's many friends will hope to learn of his rapid improvement in health. Some vory lino specimens of placer gold wore taken out of the ground on Lightning creok jusl above the wing dam last wool: by a chinaman who was there working a rocker. One piece was nearly Lhrooiuobes long nud n slender piece witb quartz along the middle, worth about 818. 'lho other i_ a seal shaped piece worth aboul 820. They are lino specimeusiiud go to prove conclusive;.-,* that tbo heavy gold may be expected anywhere aloug the channel of the creek between Bugle creek and the junction of Lightning willi SwifL river. . We learn from unquestioned authority that (lie recent strike in tbe Black Jack mine on Williams creek is nil that has boou reported. Tlie owners bavo been takingoutan average of 00 ounces of gold per day. or nearly 81,000, working only in a small way. Tbo rich streak of gravol heads buck into deep grouud and tlie Black Jack people have apparently a large territory underlaid by lho rich strata of gravel. There is much excitement around BurkorvHle over tbo recent strike aud ground is located for il long distauco iu the course tbnt lbe rich auriferous gravel is supposed to extend.

Dancer, throo mining men, left Ashcron. for Hat creek yesterday, whore they will stay over for Monday's stage ami will thon leave for Quesnollo Forks and olher sections of Cariboo. This is the first trip of this party, who aro English mining men of moans. They go up to visit Cariboo with a view of taking up somo mining propositions if thoy find anything that in their judgment give promise ot wood results. They arc a well informed and pleasant lot id' gentlemen and of u class that will do tho country good. They state that in their judgment northern British Columbia will come to the front in u miuing way vory rapidly from now on as Uic tide of enquiry seems to bo turned this way. Tho postal note system will bo inaugurated in a few days. Tho notes will consist of sixteen denominations, raug- itig from 20c. to 85, aud thn government's commission will range from 1 cent, to -10c, bohlg at the rate of _!c. on notes up tti 82.50, and Ho. onthoSn uotos, Only three denominations will bo issued .just now because tho equipment of tho American Bauk Note Co., docs not appeal* to he equal to furnishing tho whole issue as soon as required by the government, These postal notes will be issued by post masters through- out tho counlry and will boar the date stamp of the olllco of issue. Thoy must bo cashed within three months of tho date of their issue. After lho 1st of October next tho Post Olllce Department will not redeem tiny postage stumps as ttie cost is too great. Homo postmasters made it commission of 40 percent. One month recently tho redemption amounted toctfu.ooo. Audrow Moonoy, au old resident ot Asbcroft, who bas been for some months iu tho Lillooet and Chileoten sections, arrived iu Ashcroft this wook. Mr. Moonoy saya liis greatest, lind whilo away was a dead chinaman whom lie found in the Chileoten section and reported iho fact to tho authorities. An Investigation is now being hold. It Is nut supposed that his death wa:. caused by oilier than natural causes. Scottio's creek has produced some very good coarsa gold iu tbo past. Quite a number of local ions have been made there of lale and it may bo that persevering work will show up somo valuable mines along tho upper portion of tho crook. Tins remains to be shown by work, sinking and otherwise. Tiie gravol at the month of the creek, if a means of successfully workiug the same can bc found, will woll repay handling. Pure gold is worth 820.07 per ounce. The placer gold of Cariboo And Lilloocl, and tbe Fi-asor nnd Thompson rivers varies from 81fi to 8l8,ii0 per ounce as a rule. Course gold is worth more than line, nnd amalgam gold, or that saved by amalgamation with quicksilver, is not worth ns much as tbat whicli is Baved without amalgamating, as no mat* tor bow dry amalgam is squeezed und how woll it is burned afterwards, somo Impurities will remain. Mr. A. McNaughton, of Quosnollo, so long an employee of tho Hudson's Bay store, is reported as in very poor health. Messrs. Campbell, Meddlocat and others located a series of benches from .lack of Clubs lake to New creek, u largo body of auriferous gravel, and havo already made arrangements to instal a large hydraulic plant. Water I'or miuing operations will bo forced up i'rom -lack of Clubs lake. The high standing of tlto gentlemen ongagod iu the enterprise makes tho matter of importance to the entire northern country. They arc men that kuow bow to mine and have an abundance of capital ut their command. CARD TO THE LADIES.
