Horsefly Gold Mining C o, A letterrecelred nl Ihu ofll :e from Mr. R. G. Ward, secretary and general agent ot the Horsefly Gold Mining Company,in- torms ui that Ml nl tlie pipe fur hit coin pany haa now bean shipped, nlso two large giants, two elevators, gatea, pumps, etc If the sleighing continues the company will soon bare their material on the ground and tbe riveters at work. With as complete an outfit as this company will hare, with the ground as thoroughly tested as It the Horselly mine, and a man of the well known ikill of Senator Campbell In chare, of the work there can be no doubt of the success or this company. It ta to be hoped that thorough arrangeU-foUwil be made Tor developing the water privilege on MuHile creek, which, by a comparatively Ineipaosiveaam can be made to furalih all the water required fur both of tho mammoth companies that wilt be operated lu Unit section next year. Gooss Creek. Mr. M. Helgerson, whom old timers will remember well, Is al the present writing iu Ashcroft and will tea-re on Muuday lor Cnribno. During the past few weeks Mr. Melgeraon has organised n oinpuny wilh a capital isallou of 110,000, known aa ilie Elk Mining Company, which litis taken over a lense held hy Mr. Helgerson on Gaoao Creek, a -tlr.ani emptying into Cariboo lake about oppositu Kelthly creok. Gooie creek wus worked to some extent by Mr. llclge-.on and his party In early days, but finding something better, It was abandoned and has been left since, except what work has been dor.* by chinaman, one reason for this being that there Is a heavy boulder wash, making it somewhat difficult to bundle. Tbecompany will put In a flume three by six feet and with a grade of mere than 2 inches to the 13 feat will convey the whole of thc creek through a canon TOO feet thereby drying the ground so Ihat it can be worked. Mr. Helgerson took oul quite a large sum from this creek la '01 and of course knows what to expect as the result of hie work on the grounds of the present company. Some trouble was bad with Chinese who had been working on the creek before Mr. Ilelgerson'syUit last season. A pint was cut down and a notice destroyed, and a party ol four chinamen armed with axes made serious demonstrations toward Mr. Helgerson and Mr. Gen. Vleth, who whs with him. The Chinese wero arrested and fined heavily, since which all has been serene. The decomposed bed-ruck on Gooio creek Is very rich and pans can be taken out often, containing several dollars. The amount of good ground in this section is limited bat the Elk Mining Company have undoubtedly enough good ground to make a do elded success, and depth on Goose creek may ihow some very rich ground near bedrock just below the canon. Tbe company now bavt several men whip sawing lumber for the flumes. Mr. Helgerson will take charge ul'tlie work and expects lo make a good showing between now and next Novcmoer. country suoh a demand may arise thnt a boat can again be put on the river to ply between Soda Creek and QueBnelle. lt is but a few hours run of GO miles and a pleasant steam boat trip. Tho building of tho British Pa cine may help to bring about this much to be desired result. ISO-Mils Bouse. A welt attended and harmonious meeting of the people of this section w«s held last week at the 150-Mile House at which the needs of this section were discussed, more particularly in relation to roads. Messrs. Adams and Rogers, members of parliament, were present and gave the taxpayers assembled much pleasure by agreeing to do all in their powcr.to bring about an adequate appropriation to make good roads to the Forks, Horsefly and other points from this general center of travel' also, to do what they could toward improving the method for crossing the Fraser River at or near Chimney Creek. It is hoped good results will obtain from tbis meeting and tho talking oyer of matters of interest to the residents with their representatives, Tbe Government should d eai liberally with tbis section. From the 10S to Quesnelle Mouth of ranohera there are 29 heavy tax payers, and most of them have been suoh for many years past. Give them their just dues, passable roads, even if you And that an extra coat of varnish has to be omitted from the oupola of the (600,- 000 government buildings, in which our thirty-three members of parliament have to crowd themselves for several months each year. Soda Creek, This quiet little barg can seldom furnish much news of interest to tbe outside world. We have good people but not many of them. It ia rumored that there will be a change in one of our offices here at a date not long in the future, and new business man take tbe place of one of our old timers. The many friends of Mr. Hawks have good hopes that a few weeks treatment at tbe hospital will no im prove his health that he will again be with us with many pleasant years before hira. Soda Creek has hopes that with inr* creased development in the Cariboo A Correction, Editod MiNisa Jouiwai,, Sir;âIn my communication whioh appeared in your last issue concerning gold nuggets found in the province, I noticed a typographical error whioh pleaso oorroct. Referring to lhe piece discovered on Butcher Flat in 1803, weighing â¢400, I mentioned, "Si'""o that period none fcave been found approaching that value.'1 The sentence as printed materially altered the sense by sub- htttuting the word more for none.

The Quesnelle River Hydrauho Gold Mining company will resume operations wilh Mr. James Deaoon of Qucsnelle sa foreman in the early pring. With a permanent water supply this company has a valuable property. Moro woik will have to be done to secure a good supply of water. A four mile ditch will add largely to the supply and a permanent dam at Big Lake will give a good supply to draw on for the latter part of the season. Tbe mines are shuatodabout 13 miles above tbe mouth of the Quesnelleon the north bank aod the company's -ground consists of 320 acres, with a lease of IliO acres more 4 miles further up the river. Messrs, J. B. McLaren and Albert Palmer are the principal owners. Worth Bend. A petition has been forwarded t-» the superintendent of education asking fur the establishment of a school atlhisplace. It ie much needed aud should be established. The flume nearly four milts long en the opposite side of the river shows up well and In tbe early spring water will be turned in aid washing on the bar by the Ottawa company inaugurated. The prospects lor Ihis company seem good, as their ground prospecti well. Col. Wright is now In Ottawa completing arrangements for his trip to the Peace river country, where himself nnd his tutu elates expect to open up a hydraulic prop osllion next season. The pipe and material will be taken via Ashcroll to Quesnelle, across the Fraser and by way of Btuart lake. Colonel Wright's party Hint so thoroughly explored tbe country lut season believe it to be good, and many prospectors will no doubt go In to the Peace river country next season. Some Old Timers. The names ofthe old Carlbooiles signed boluw wilt ba familiar to many of our readers. Tho following letter rccelred from two of our old pieneers just after our last issue went to press, is conclusive proof of tho death of M. O. Davis and wilt end the search of a daughter for a long lout father. II was only a 4w weeks ago that Mary Davis, now living ia Arizona, chanced to seethe name of Governor Bheah ley mentioned In a Han Francisco paper. She immediately wrote him and he promptly sent the letter to us. We have forwarded Miss Davis the letters and papers containing tbe information se much desired. A uewipapar should be a public convenience; that is what we are making the Searchlight and we extend our thanks to the many friends who are helping to do this: Jdkead, Jan. 9,1808. Editor SEAitcuLiaiiT: Iu answer to a request for Information concerning "Red* headed Davis," published id yonr-lssue of December 93, permit ut to say that we first became acquainted with Davis in tbo Cariboo country lu 1803 and knew him intimately from that time until his death. During the winter of 1884 85 while living her« in Juneau he was taken Ul from inhaling the fumes of quicksilver while retorting gold amalgam. Tbe belt medical skill available and Ihe beit cars possible at that lime was given hlin but his life could not be saved. He died in the spring of 1889 and was buried dm Chicken Ridge, Respectfully, John C. Ourrt, John Pbioil Quesnelle. Durlug tho last few weeks out two rivers' had been thickly moltlcd with flood Ice passing doWn. Last Tuesday this came t» n stand und ice lurm'el sufficiently to enable ouoto inma ovlt on foot. The stir- fttco wus very irregular as large cukes at every angle leaned ugriiust one -mother. A jutn had becu formed nol far below here und apparently a dam, fur on Wednesday night, nbout B o'clock, the Water, or rnlh.r ice, rmeso rapidly that In' hair an hour the piles of ice were about sixteen feet up the river bank. This rise caused Ihe Ice to break up with terrific crashing, the sound *f which could be hoard quito u distance. The interesting spectacle was observed by many ofthe citizen** standing on the bank. A few minutes before the breaking up of the Ice two men had walked across. After a while, the water somewhat subsiding, the ice remained In huge broken masses, unable to force Its way further. Last night the thermometer regUlared Sit degrees and ice may be permanent fnr tho witter. This freak ofthe elements nearly ended disastrously on thc Q/iossellt, which also was .fleeted by iht rise in thu Fraser. Clias. Lnrmide, Ihe well known tripper, has a house near tbo bank ol tha QueBnelle about three miles trom here. Uo bad retired, when suddenly tbo door of his house was thrust In. Jumping out of bod to see who so unceremoniously made an entrance, he found himself la two feet ot water. His shoes were carried away, but he made his escape alter being rudely awakened and coldly drenched. Mr. Fty, who IS largely Interested in lulcg, has returned lo i esume work on his claim near Cottonwood; Chas. Moffat had one of his legs severely Injured at the ankle, ne wns driving a sleigh filled with people and to convenience the company Bat on thc dashboard. Tht result was, that his leg got entangled between the whlppletree and Hit crossbar. Ht is under the treatment of Dr. Caltnan, who will do all that is possible to restore tho use of the joint. A pleasant social dance was held in the Boyd Brothers' Hall last night. Mr. Ln- ronde furnished tht music and all enjoyed themselves until a late hour. F, W.

McDonough, Oa., Jan.26.âHiram Les ler, supposed to be the oldest man on earth, Is dead in tha Henry county poor- house, at the age of ISO. Ho was born in Haftlxh, N. C, tight years before the birlh ofthe republic. There is do question as lo bis great age, as he leaves a son M years old, who is an inmate of the same institution, slid a daughter who lives in Heard county and Is 05 years old. Uncle Hiram,as he was familiarly known, came from a long lived ancestry. Ills father lived to be 100 and his grandfather to bo 115. Tbe old man claimed to have enjoyed tho hospitality of George Washing- fur three days and spoke fluently on the subject ol the oillcinl acts of Jefferson, Madison and Jay. He claimed to havo fought In Ihs war of 1813, but he never crew a pension. Ho lost three sons In the civil war. In 18-31 ho was obliged to tako refugo iu the poorhonse. In 1.91 he wns married to Miss Mary Mossley, agad 31, 'â ousekeeper of the poor house. Joseph Juneau, who with Harris, first discovered gold In 811 ver Bow Buin, Alaska, In September, 1879, la a nephew of Solomon Juneau, tha founder ot Milwaukee, When the rush of miners who had heard of tht rich strike, began from Sitka, where quite a number of miners mako headquarters, tht first comer's found old Joe In a tent on the beach with a lot o I quarts sparkling with gold, a big lack of placer gold, a cais ot gin, a klootcbman for a housekeeper, etc., still Joe was crying and bemoaning hia fate, and bis explanation was that his great rlehcs had com*; (to lalofbf bha to enjoy them, as he wu too old. That was 10 years ago lut fall, and 10 years ago Jot eld not hate a cent. We is* by thc Aluka papers that he is now In the Yukon and hu* made' another strike- Deerfoot, the Seneca Runner Dead, Louis Bennett, thc Sonets Indian, betler known as Deerfoot, died al his home on the Cattarraugna reservation, New York, January 18. He was 06 years old and lived en lm farm, with Lis son, a Tew miles from Silver creek. In his younger days Deerfoot made records for long distance running which never hove been broken. In 1850 he defeated a horse in a race on the Cattaraugus reservation, and for this ftat an old chief gave him tbe appellation of Deertoot. Until a few weeks befoie his death Deerfoot wns in good health and thought nothing ot walking fifteen or twenty miles a day. Doerfoot's fame was made Irom 1851 to 185!). In 1851 ht went to England, where ht defeated ihe English champion runner in a ten mile race. At Its conclusion he was greeted by the Prince nt Wales ai d asked to give an exhibition before the royal family, lie did so and was presented with £50 an<1 it gold souvenir by the prince and a neat little token by Queen Victoria. He remained a guest of the royal family tor several weeks. Two years he spent In England, during which time he gayo exhibitions at Oxford and Cambridge and lectured an Ihe best methods of physical training. Deerfoot came home in 1803 with considerable money. He defeated allcomers in this country, and more than a score of years ago ht settled down ou his native reservation for the remaindor of his Wo. In London hu ran ten miles la fifty-two minutes. t This was his greatest race. Deerfoot was considered one of Ihe greatest men of his nation, but tho honor was thrust upon him, not sought, During tha World's Fair he wu on exhibition In Chicago. BARGAINS!! BARGAINS!!

For -great distances between the lines of shafting, ropes should be used; though in exceptional cases thoy mav be employed with in* liitlens 12 feet between almft centers, though in general ihc distance should be not less than 20 feet. Spans of as much 328 feet Imve been worked by ropes with only one intermediate sup port. Under no oircuinstances should th« diameter of the smallest pulley be be less than 30 times tho diameter of iho rope, nnd in general tho pulley ratio should bo not less than four to one. Three stranded ropes of man- ilia, hemp or cotton may be used, Hemp Ib much cheaper than cotton, rind usually, wears longer, but is less pliable. To facilitate estimates, the approximate weight of a pulley must bo taken as b^ pounds per gionv-a fnr each inch of diameter, (hough single groove pulleys will weigh double this amount. FJOTiCE.

Campbell-Johnson was* elected president of the lately formed society or mining engineers ol British Columbia. Mr. Johnson has closed his Vancouver office,and after a months holiday in Cult- fbrn.a.wlU goto Kootenay to lake charge of a mine. Mr. Johnson in a thorough and practical man nud the Journal cou- gratulales KiolcoRy on his bc-Ornin*" a resident ol thai section. "Prof. E. Odium, who has gone east on n lecturing tour, was in Kamloops on Sun day and Monday and lectured al the Methodist church, on Alaska, the disputed territory, and then (old about the famous Trcadwell mine," says Die Sentinel. Either tbe professor Is not rightly quoted iu the Sentinel or he made a bad mistake in saying the Treadweil mill had 100 stamps constantly drooping. Instead of 100 il has 240 under une roof. The narrow escape from drowning ol Mr. Mrabam'a family nnd a child of Mr. Huffman's, of Shnswap, in the Thompson river, shows what nerve will do. Happily Miss Oraham eau show good nt use at a critical lime, aa her escape wilh the child shows, as well u take ball a dozen prizes for fancy and other kinds nf work at agricultural fair., as she did at Ashcroft last fall. Tbo lamily'a many friends here rejoice that the accident did not havo fatal results. Ice on a swill river like the Thompson Is tr_a.li (irons and should bo avoided when possible. .Iloadmaster Munroe Informs us that so far as is known, about the tisnnl amount of work will be done on lhe C. P. It. between North Bond aud Kiimloops. Two hundred fillings of cuts have been made since the buildiug of this rond, between the points mentioned and nearly as many aiers-aro ?cl i» be filled bm those remaining are as n rule smaller. The work done last season nmounte'l in actun] cash paid for labor to nearly or quite $1,000 per day, exclusive of Umber used A $1,000 per day added to the circulation in the little towns along the line for one hundred and fifty miles makes quite a dif. tersnee in times. We arc In receiptor a letter or enquiry at to who are the applicants for a charter to build a railroad from Asln-rofl or some other point on the C. P. R. to Barkervillc, and what the chances of its being built this season arc. We only know what ia shown by the published notice, except for tumors Ihat English capitalists are aaid lo have the funds provided and â¢â ill build if they can secure favorable legislation. As for ifniuil being built the coming season, there is no likelihood of work being commenced on such an undertaking until a series of surveys have demonstrated Its practicability, which of itself will take some lime, perhaps several sea- sons. The Occidental Hotel at (Jiuisuellu Is doing a gooil business, lt is* w well kept house. One cur load of tbe Fader fre%ttf arrived at Ashcroft yesteiday, another load will soon bo here. J, 11 Fmunn.of l_.t*_ & l.tiiser, visited Llllooet this weuk nnd Is now on a trip through tho Nicoln country. The work train will be on again in about u month.

It now looks as though the English people represented by Mr. (Jlcmea, who visited liillooel and lhe Kiaser from there up somo distance lasl (all, will build and operate a dredger al or near Lillooet. It Is evident Trom a glance through the provincial legislature that the members from1 ""his section will compare favorably wilh lhe balance of the province, and no doubt the wanta of Cariboo, Yale and Lillooet will be well looked after. At present there is very little snow in sight at Ashcroft. There la no sleighing through the lac La Hache valley and teamsters leaving hero say they will go right through to (Quesnelle with wagons unless there is more snow fell, Teamsters are all busy and no lay off* are in order. There is a large nittonnt of freight awaiting shipment now at Ashcroft. rhe Ward and Underwood freight having all arrived, the Fader dredging company's fr.ight Is expected now at any lime. The Jourral is In receipt or a very handsomely gotten up map calendar from the Province office. It Is "done In Ibe west" and a credit lo any section to luro out such work. The work waa done entirely in Ihe Province ofllce. S.nno of the very sensible Koolcnay papers think that while IheJ'Rov.rnmenl lectures on mining are being given In Vauctiuver and Victoria, In order to loose no time It might be as well to send some ono that is good authority on the subject over lo Kootenay to deliver a few leclurss on fishing arid scaling. Mr. D. Murphy, barrister, nf Victoria, who baa been for florae time visiting at his fathers came down Tuesday night and went on the same night to the const. We predict a brilliant future for tbe young man. Ilia rather, Dennis Murphy or the 141 Mile House is one of Ihe oldest or eld timers, his present farm being the first taken upon that section of the wagon road. A son ol Mr. Helgcson accompanies his father to the mining country above this season. The young man will have lots of fun with the gold diggings and at the same tlmo along about June Ihe flies, gnatB and mosqultos will have lots of fun with him. The mosqultos are said by miners lo bo the worst fn the Yukon of any country In the warkl, for a few days only fortunately.
