W1IO--3A],- AND BOBTAIL DEALEKS IN HAY AND 011AIN. CARIBOO EXCHANGE HOTEL. dROSSLY MISREPRESENTED. Dear Sir: About two weeks ago i wrote you that I wus on my way to Asheroft to outfit i'or the Yukon, but I am unablo to oomo aa I will explain, At the boundary lino u government ollicial told us that the merchants of Ashoroft hud combined to fleece tlio Klondikers, aud that wo could do much hotter Id Kamloops, and thut tho now trail wus 00 miles shorter This story wus_rcpoated at Vernon und other points. Of course tie people hero swear to it. Now, I don't take any stock in this story. - Jtsecms to bo aoonoortod plan to get the outiittlug trado at Kamloops and 1 have used every effort to huvo tho party come on to ABhcroft aa llrsl, plaunod, but till the rest uro against tno and 1 huvo to give iu. I took the liberty to huvo my mail seut in your care, expecting to buy my outfit of you. Will you bo so kind um to forward uny which bus arrivod for mo to Quosuollo and oblige, Kamloops, Muy 20, 1808, Tho above loiter wus linudod in to tho Journal ofliee Friday by ono of our morohants, nnd noes to show thn false and oonloinptlolo moans Unit uro being used by pooplo to destroy the trade of Asbcroft, In tho lottor tho wrltOV states that u government, official noar the boundary line lind advised him logo to Kamloopa. Wo do not think tho morohants of Kamloops uro responsible for this, although wo know of somo pooplo iu Kamloops who have interests in Ashoroft ud vising the people not to come by Aslieroft. OE course, if peoplo wish to take :i trail In proforonce to a good wagon road, it is their owu business. They will no doubt know better by the time thoy reach Bridgo croek. Tho road via Ashcroft is acknowledged ns one of tho best in tho country, und the outfits supplied at Ashcroft nro ns cheap nud us good a quality us is sold in auy city or towu iu tho couutry. As to the merchants nt Ashcroft combining to ileece Klondikers, it is u downright lie, as the reputation of our merchants for integrity uud square doaliug cannot be questioned. The people and originators of these disgraceful falsehoods should bo pluced behind the prison bars, for they nro not iit to be at large. Iu the letter the writer says that the people at Kamloops swear to these stories about Ashe-- Vt merchants ileeciug tho Kloudritors. Wo hope tbe Kamloops mou will look iuto this mutter and exonerate themselves from blame. Early Closing. Editor Mining Jodbnai--âSir: In last issue I notice tbo approval of my remarks ro early closing, by "Pro Bono Publico." Ho certainly has the right Idea, aud as he rightly says, "that it would bo a very easy mutter to coul* to somo arrangement for early closing thero beiug so fow to consult." I only hopo that the matter will bo pushed to assist the men who have to spend their long hours iu tho stores, although few would bo willing to ucccpt a few hours iu the evening to themselves and the storekeepers and employees themselves do not seom to bo iu favor of early closing. It gave mo great pleasure to nolo that the stores all closed at 1 o'clock last Tuesday, tho Queen's Birthday. For tbo last fow years it bus been tho hardest thing possiblo lo bo ublo to get them to close, but civilization is graduully dawning upon us. To honor Her Majesty's birthday is a move iu the right direction uud we will all bo pleased to soo tho business bouses closed on auy public holiday tbat comes around. If tho early closing cannot be adopted possibly some arrangement cun bo mado for public holidays. Kamloops morohants und clerks havo a half holiday evory Wednesday afternoon, besides tho early closing. And just think of our own littlo town. From early morn to lato at night. No recreation whatever, or if any lha Sabbath is broken. Thore is not u Sunduy but whut you can soo it broken in sundry ways, which, by a few hours during tho week, would bo avoided. Suuday is a day of rest und us such should bo recognized. A fow hours onch woek to listen to tho holy word of God is uono too much for tho ordinary man. As "Pro Bono Publico" advises, tho mattor should bo taken up and pushed ouergoticully and not allowed to drop, us mauy matters of public interest aro iu Ashcroft. Hoping I havo not taken up too much of your space, und thut tho matter will bo pushed, 1 remain, yours truly, Orison. Ashoroft, Muy 27, 1808. A. H. Walters Proprietor. Board and Lodging at reasonable rates. Corner of Railroad Avenue and Third Street. "A Remarkable CuHe." Editor Minino JournalâSir: 1 sbull bo obliged to you if you will insert, this in your Saturday's paper in correction of tho paragraph copied from tho World which appeared in your lust issuo undor tho abovo heading. So far from tho operation on Eva Evans boiug "a wonderful modicul scleutiflo achievement and ono of tho most unique of its kind in tho history of surgery," it wus tho simplest opera tion that is ovor dono for appendicitis. A cut about throe inches long was made througb tho skin and llesb ovor the bowels, tlio pus, which wus outside the bowels, lot out, und tho cut was partially sewed up aguiu leaving u small opening for any pus which wus formed subsequently to come away. The appendix wus uot seen. Whou Dr. Proctor exposed tlio bowel lie thought it was gangrenous aud a hasty glauoo gavo mo the samo impression. The subsequent course of Lho case bus, however, shown that wo were mistaken, and thut tlie bowel was net dead. I most heartily endorse all that the World's correspondent said about Dr. Proctor's assiduous attoutiou aftor tlio operation und huvo no doubt that the recovery of the child is largely due to his uuromlttlng care. IPov tbo bonofit of tho many (Mends of Mike Burns, 1 should liko to say thntsofar from being in n critical State when ho went to Kiimloops, us stated iu your last* ho hud beon convalescent for a week and was sent to Kamloops for tho nursing-unci dietary bo could not got in the hotel. Yours truly, Jno, I.. Williams, Ashcroft, B.C., May 20, 1808. Two VetUS' Imprl-uimietit, W, C.

Colonel Wright, manager of the 43rd Mining aud Milling Company loft with his party Monday evening for tho company's property ou Manson and Slato creeks, iu tho Omeuica district. The party are well prepared for their overlaud trip uud have a good outllt of horses und mules. The colonel expects to havo a washup this summer somo timo and will no doubt bo able to tako somo gold east with him next fall. Most of tho party will drive to Quesnelle, the company having teams and wagons. G. S. Davison, of Ottawa, accompauiod tbo colonel as bookkeeper for tho company. Tbe directors of tbo company are woll pleased with the work so far us it has gone; ' Perry Broke Loose. Last Friday evening, about 7 o'clock, tiie ferry boat at Sponco's Bridge broke loose uud rushed down the Thompson river, carrying two passengers and tho ferryman with it. Tho passengers Btayed witb the scow uutil about three miles this sido of Dryuock, aud made shore with difficulty. Tho third man, knowu us Sailor Jack, went further down whero bo made shore. It is reported that Sailor Jack went through tlio Jaws of Death, near Gladwin, with tho scow. The scow entered the Fraser river at Lytton, 25 miles distant, in two and n half hours after breaking loose. This is tlio second timo this ferry Ions beon lost, aud moro caro should be daken by tho ferrymau, and only competent men should bo chosen to run rtuoli an all'air. Tiio lirst time it broke away thero woro passengers aboard nnd they woro in great danger of losing tiiolr lives. Tbo scows cannot '..o brought back as it would cost moro than building new ones, and th^ii if sought they aro usually all battered to pieces by tho rocks. Tho government might as well build abridge and settle tho mattor, as tho expense of .keeping the ferry going uud tbo building of new ones evory year would soon p ay for tho bridgo. There is cousidorabl o travel at this point and the iuconvenie uee of having no way to got across tho r brer will bo great to tho traveling public No doubt tbis matter will bo attendee, to at once, uud an investigation should be made for tho sake of the lives that are constantly in peril wlion crossing. Evory day a number of school chlidrou nave bad to cross on this ferry, aud if it had broken loose with a. load of children it would havo boou impossible to save thom all, if auy. Queen's Birthday Celebration. Tho Queen's Birthday was duly i"'0*0' bratod in Ashcroft by a fairly lar,''?0 numbor of people. The weather was' very warm and was rather disagreeable. Tho morning passed off without iinythiug going on. In the afternoon shortly after two o.clock tho horso races commenced und wero conituuod ;ill afternoon, Tho following aro tho winners of tho races: I. Opon for all-âThroe-eighths of a mile single dash, Gannon's "Little Cripple." B.C. bred liorses -Three-quarter mtlO single dash, Gannon's "Little Cripple." -J.

During tho uftoi-uoou a baseball match took nine o on tbo grounds south of tho town. The stores alt closed at 1 o.olock aud remained closed the remainder of the day. QUESNELLE FORKS. It is reported that the Victoria Cou* soliduted Comiany will put iu a largo and oxpensive ditoh yet this season. Nearly n thousand men will be employed ou tho Cariboo Hydraulic Gold Mining Company's ditch and dam. It is said that a Now York compauy will do somo work on ouo of tho big hydraulic claims in this section this asou, u compauy having boon formed for this purpose. The Golden Kiver Quesnollo Company aro giving out good roports und it is snid that iu Iho neighborhood of 100 men will bo put to work thero milling within a few wooks. Tho bod of tho old south fork has boen known since early days away back in '">.) to bo surprisingly rich. Frequently ouo to two dollars has boon raised on a single â hovel of gravol ut u favorable stage of he wafer. With the present arrange- 1101 its for mining tlio river bod after ilosing the gatos and thereby shutting ill'the .stream for about 150 days, uu tmmonso amount of this old channel bo worked. It means muoh to Quesnello Forks as it will furnish employment to many hundreds of men during tho mining season. HORSEFLY. Tho Horsefly Gold Mining Company uro running two olovators aud are doing good work. About 25 meu are employed and about 2,00u yards of gravel per day is beiug elevated. Tho property is looking well and a good output for tlio seasou is assured. The Miocene company are now down 285 feet to bedrock and fouud it pitching, and they uro now sinking into the bedrock intending to go down about 40 feot and theu drift out to the bottom of the channel. Gold was found'on bedrock aud abovo some feet good gravel was found but it wos not rich enough for drifting. Tho outlook seems good for rich gravel on bedrock in the channel bottom. The bedrock whore tho shaft is now being sunk is easy to work, it being so soft that it can be picked aud broken up without powder, lhe water has given considerable troublo but is at present undor control. Tbo company are em- pitying about 10. meu working eight- hour shifts. At the Horsefly Hydraulic Gold M-lning Company's mino somo men ure at work, nnd a small force has been at work all winter drifting. It is reported tbat good gravel is now iu sight iu sufficient quautities to justify starting the mill soon. This is, however, only rumor. There is no question about water rights at tho present time between any of tlio companies here. It is said to have been amicably settled for all time. In auy case thero is uu abund- auee for work this season for all the companies hero at work. The Derby. Epsom Downs, May 25.--J. W. Larnaob's colt Jcddahwon the Derby. BirTatten Sykes' bay colt Disraeli, wus the favorite nnd led uutil passing Shorwoods, then Elfin drew in front und led until descending tbo hill.

Victoria, May 23,âThe threo days' celebration of tho Queen's Birthday opened today under tlie most favor able auspices, tbo day beiugbright and cool, and the attendance of visitors largo. Tho miners' raco in the morning was amongst the first events and produced a great deal of amusement, tho task of catching, loading and di- rooting the untamed burros proving a very difficult ono. Iu tho raco for pack animals thero were six ontrios, including threo by Ashoroft meu, G. C. Gattress, E. E. Jamieson nnd Coorgo Jamieson, tho othor three beiOi? from Victoria, H. Stodthagen.W.

Ollicial advices iinnouuciug theso to bo tho positions of tho opposing fleets wero received at tho navy department Into last, night, from tho commander- in-chief of tho Amorfoau forco operating in front of tho harbor. It was thoso advices which enabled tho authorities tu emphatically deny the re port that uu action had occurred iu the Windward passage. Washington, May 25. The event of tbo day iuthe war situation was the issuance of a proclamation by tho president calling for 70,000 moro volunteers, It added u new and striking phase to tho lethargic-conditions which havo prevailed of late, and came with almost startliug unexpectedness, even to mauy of tho high officials iu tho army. Tho proclamation moans uot only the assembling of u largo force of troops but also the appointment of a largo number of major-generals, brigadier generals, colonels, majors and staff and field ofllcors, for the organization of this additional force of 75,000 iuto urmy corps, divisions, brigades und regiments. Tho now foruo will require, either by appointment or by officers already appointed, three major- generals and about 'it brigadier- generals. The law authorizes the president to appoint one major general for each army corps, and one brigadier- go noral for each brigade. Brigadier- generals are also assigned to command divisions when the organization advances to that stage.- Tho colonels, Heutenant-oolonols, majors, captains and lieutenants are appointed by tlio governors of tho various states, as tho law provides that "ull regimental und company ofllcors shall be appointed by tho tho governors of the slates in which their respective organizations are raised." The Royal Coi.ii.ii.vsluii. The Royal commission, appointed by tho government to enquire into the conduct of tho business of tho Lauds aud Works department, concluded Wednesday, says the News-Ad vor User. Tho Government employee, U. F. Tolmie, of Nolson, was severely cross- examined, and admitted tho correspondence regarding Crown grants having boou issued for uu iniproppor consideration. Tho evidence will bo submitted to tho Government and prosecutions for perjury will probably result. The Cosgroves, The Cosgrovo Merry Makers will again visit Ashcroft, aud will appear iu tbe town hall on Monday evening, Juno 13th. Thoy have boon playing to full houses on tho coast, aud on thoir way cast have decided to slop at â Ashcroft. The admission will bo 50 conts, children 25 cents. They have au entire new collection of kinetoscopo pictures aud have also secured some lute interesting views of the Klondike. The Cosgroves played two nights at Ashcroft when goiug west nud gave en- tiro satisfaction to the public Wo perdict a good patronage for them when thoy play here on Monday, Juno 13th, Thoy aro high class performers and havo played for tho past ton yoars to tbe eastern public, Thoir Irinoto- scope is a fluo machine and the whole compauy is also good. Change of Tlmo. The expected change of the Canadian Pacific railway trains will probably take placo some time iu Juno, although it is not yet officially announced. Fast trains, Nos. 1 and 1!, will make tho tho trip between Vancouver and Montreal in 100 hours, stopping only at tbo important stations along tho lino. No. 2 will leave Vancouver about 1 o'clock and No. 1 will arrive thoro at about tho same time. The fast trains will carry tho mail. This now arrangement will bring Nos. 1 aud 2 into Ashcroft at about 7 o'clock in tho morning and 8 o'clock iu tho ovoning respectively. A mixed train will run from Vancouver and Kamloops daily especially for the local trade. Tlio trains will leavo Kamloops and Vancouver at the samo timo, 7 tun., arriving at their destination ut 0 p.m. The local trains will pass Ashcroft about 0:30 In the morning from Kamloops, nnd about (i in tbo ovouiuR from Vancouver. The local trains will bo very convenient for people along tbis division. The C.P.K. ai-e doing everything possiblo for tho comfort of its patrons und It well merits tbo reputation it bas of being tho best railway to travel ovor on tho continent. Boforo j* the to Mr. Currie nnd freighting associates aro down from Grande Prairio with a a large outfit, consisting of 28 liorses and 7 wagons, to engage lu freighting the Cariboo road. This is tlieir undoubted privilege, but all should bear In mind that this season, so far, freight Is scarce, and regular freighters aro in need of work. Those who live here or along tho road who spend their money among Iho people of this sec tion, should not bo deprived of work by those liko Mr. Currio, who simply buuohgrass summers and go homo a hundred milos or moro wlutors,loaving at most but a few dollars of their summer's earnings in the country whoro ('â¢hey earn it. Neither will it add to the prosperity of the country to huvo teHmbters buy wagon loads of goods and put ,t-bom on tlio market in the upper country* Theso remarks ure uot mado iu any spirit of ill-will toward Mr. Ourrlo ot any intorosted with him, but only as tlio Journal believes it is in thc interest of tho country from Ashcroft to Barkervlllo. QUESNELLE. The spring's planting is about completed. Tho weather has beon unusually favorable and work has hud scarcely any Interruption. The month of May has been vory line, and tliis weok refreshing showers havo fa]leu and will do much to bring on the crops as well as tho grass so needful for cattlo and tho numbers of puck horses used by the many prospectors who have chosen horses instead of boats. Tliis weok somo dozens of paok horses have boeu ferried ovor by the Btoamor Charlotte. Tho trails will ho takon to tho Omenica. At present tho river is so high that it is impossible to make headway. Ouo party returned this week having gonesix miles beyond tho Cottouwood canyon. Those throe gentlemen uro from Oakland, Cal., and uro health seekers principally. They will leavo tomorrow with their pack horses for tho north. They enjoy the liealLlifulness of this climate exceedingly, and fool already the benefit of their littlo outing. No doubt lu the noar future, when this region is made more accessible by railway, it will be a famous health resort. In exchange for tho enervating climate of the southern Pacific slope, nothing is more invigorating thau a clear uir as many who have enjoyed it attest. Uharlie Blair and Jerry Grivelle have uuo hundred bead of cattle up as far as Bouchie's, opposite Quesnelle. ou tho way to the Klondike, This is tho first installment of cattle that havo beeu taken overlund, and the enterprising young men deserve success. Tlio trails will be well opened up by tho partios gouo before. Word has reached here that James Deacon's party, who left here some weeks ago, arrived at Telegraph Creek iu seventeen duys from here aud all well. This trip has been done iu a remarkably short time considering tho sensou of tho year tbey started and tho difficulties in the way. Capt. Wilson uud Dr. Carrutht-rs' party reached Giscomb portage in good condition, and are now well ou the way to their destination. Rov. D. Campbell is home from the coast whore ho wns attending the Presbyterian synod. Miss Houso, of Barkerville, who waa a guest of Mrs Locke for some time, returned by last stuge to her home. Poto Eagan, wife and daughter come down from Barkerville yesterday and aro staying at the Armstroug Hotel. Mr. Eagan's health is poor und be in confined to his bed. His recovery Is doubtful and ho cannot very long survive iu his present weak condition. Capt. Baughmau arrived by lost boat and is making extensive preparations for a prospecting tour to tbe Omonica. LOCAL HEWS. Oliver Evans was up at Kamloops this week visiting his daughter Eva. who is still iu tbe hospital there. She is slowly improving. Dr. Carrol], of Vancouver, is suinar the Golden Cache Mines, Limited, for 85,000, nt which amount he places the value of bis services as trustee. W. Adams, M.P.P., returned from Victoria last night after an absence attending to his legislative duties. He will leave for his home on Monday. F. Holfmoistor, who has charge of tho olectrical apparatus in connection with th. electric light company, will start the Ilrst of the week wiring thc business houses and residences of the town. Miss Ilelmer. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. Holmor, who was staying at tho Moutrcal hotel, Kamloops, disappeared tho first of tho weok. Sho left a lottor stating that in futuro she intended to earn her own living. The constablo ut Ashcroft received a wire but could get uo trace of ber. The sad news of tho death of Miss Grace Calhoun, neice of Dr. and Mrs. F. S. Reynolds was received here this morning. Miss Calhoun, whose homo is at J uneau, Alaska, died at her sister's residence on Douglas Island, on Thursday, May 19th, of spinal meningitis, only being ill for a few days. She spent several mouths at Ashcroft last spring visiting and was a general favorite with nil who met hor, aud her mauy friends in Ashcroft will bo deeply grieved to learn of her sudden death. She was fifteen years old. Tbo shortest way from Osoyoos or Pontioton to Quesnelle by moro than fit) miles is across by Allison's and Highland valloy to Ashcroft. Feed is to bo found all of tho way in abuud- anco from Ashcroft to Quesnollo. Stories circulated by Interested parties that the North Thompson routo is the shortest, best, etc., aro not truo. It is easier aud uot longer to leave Kamloops by wagon road via Savonas to Cacho Creok, thero joining the Cariboo road, than to go by the North Thompson trail. And via Highland valley and Asbcroft, as stated above, is GO miles nearer from Osoyoos instead of going by Grande Prairie, THEB C MINING JOURNAL. Ministry In this go-oration.

The transportation of exhibits havo been arranged with the railway and steamboat lines, Prom this part of the country au exhibit of fruit, vegetables, cereals and minerals that will equal any distrlut on the continent should ho shown.

Truvtlllnn Libraries. Dear Sir: You aro doubtless aware that llu; government of British Columbia has placed a sum of 81,000 in the current est.mules for the establishment of asystemof travollinglibraries, similar to what has beon successfully and beneficially worked out: in a number of tli:1 larger slates of the union, in which library work hits reached a high state of development, The system appears especially adapted to the needs of this province, whero so many communities are more or h.-ss isolated and where the oppor tunitlos for obtaining access to infer estlug and useful literature is limited id slionld assist | and would, I believe, he groatly appre i__ the sondlngof exhibits.

In order to encourage others in this work, which Is Intended for tho general benefit, I have decided to donate to the fund one hundred copies of tiie Year Book of British Columbia, published by myself, sending ouo or more copies with each library as a book of reference on provincial matters.
