THE MINING JOURNAL, $2 A YEAR It is reported tbat a special agent of tho Dominion Government will during the present month visit the Cotton* wood and Fort George Canyons to report on the same and the Government has promised to act promptly iu removing the obstructions, so that it now seems very likely to be the case that within a few months steamers will be running through from Soda Creok to Stuart's Lake, a distance of about 5001 miles from Ashcroft and iuto the heart of tho Omiuecu district. This will placo supplies ut that point at an advance of from 4 to 0 cents over coast prices, aud will ouly leavo a stretch of about 400 miles between thut point and Teslin lake, with agood cattlo and pack trail and plenty of feed through, Teslin lake Is bound by the condition uf affairs to bo tho headquarters of the Yukon trado for Canadian mines. It is a cheap aud all Canadian route to the mines aud now discoveries at Stewart's river uud other points thla side of the Klondike ull go to show that the source of tho Yukon gold placers will bo found near the base of and iu tho Cassiar nnd perhaps Kooky range. A mooting of the busiuess men of Lho Cnriboo road should certainly be held in the near future to formulate somo plau whereby tho true state of affairs can ho spread far and wido aud a knowledge of tho rieh placers of Carl- boo, Cassiar, and hundreds of yet undiscovered creeks carrying fortunes, if properly worked, placed before the tens of thousands who uro already looking toward tho Northwest. Merchants, hotel keepers, farmers and miners who would all be benefitted by an influx of prospectors, miners and mining men are urged to write their views to the Journal at Ashcroft. In our judgment an association should be formed to forward the matter of improving roads and trails and an office established at Ashoroft with a good correspondent in Charge to answer all letters of inquiry, send out maps aud plans of the Canadian route to tbe Klondike, aud give, for the next six mouths at least, a prominence to this section, as its true condition warrants. Think what it would mean to all if even 10,000 of the multitude already pushing their way to the Northwest could be induced to go in via Cariboo and Cassiar. The Journal has ever since its establishment answered all inquiries sent in and hundreds of letters have been sent out each year In answer to queries of Cariboo, Lillooet and Cassiar. Tbe increase in the last few weeks of this class ot enquires and the amount of time tbat can be readily seen will be required to answer such enquiries for the next six months will be enough to keep a bureau of information snch as is suggested busy. Tho coast cities will not of course advertise an all land route. It will to a certain extent interfere with their interests. The C. F. R. will no doubt give material assistance to the scheme. Shall we attempt to push the subject or shall wo keep quiet and let Seattle boomers take tho business that could with proper efforts be brought this way. river bars. The gold is coarse aud is what is called barley gold with occasional nuggets worth from (10 to $18. Peace river is about tho size of the Fraser at Quesnelle, fully half a mile wide, flowing east through a low country for a.distunce of fully 11)00 miles into the Great Slave witb Its source oujthe eastern slope of what we termed spurs of the Rocky Mountains and far south of the Klondyke and Stewart [rivers. It wil fhe the first country to receive thi overflow from Klondyke aud Yukon, aud its record will provo interest!)]-?. While theMMon is short, like that of the Klondyke, there nre some advantage possessed over that country. Tho ground never freezes to such depth aud mining is much easier. What is known as tho'Arctlo Divide lies south of the Pence Kiver, but the vegetation grows quite rank iu thc few short mouths of summer. Such vegetables as turnips, onions and radishes Imve been grown along the shores of Stewart Lake, "A wauderiug baud of Indians known as Foxes, very peacefully disposed, live in Litis country, trapping uiul limiting for the Hudson Bay Company. I purpose prospecting the couutry be tween the Klondyke and Peace rivers, and I go out well prepared for tho journey. The Northwest Territories are now surprising the world, aud they have still greater surprises in store," The above is very good reading but not all true. A party named Fitzgerald did go in with the Wright pnrty to Omineca, aud may have located claims as stated but they are not being worked, and the assertion that there is ground yielding 8300 to $600 per cubic yard may all be true but it is sot known to be. There is no question of the great richness of that section and that good mines will be found there is undoubtedly true. The way to roach that country is via Ashcroft, oa the C. P. R., and thousands of men will next year outfit here for a trip through Cariboo, Cassiar and if they do not find diggings to suit before reaching there, on to Klondyke, Those who are disappointed in the Klondyko country will drift south and the whole Northwest will be benefitted by the thousands of men who will next year gather from far and near. , THR0UUH CARIBOO. U Spy (M TU. Un.. New PIcM e. Rich-5. Seattlo, Wash.. Julv 20. Among the miners who are outfitting here for the Klondyke is Mr. M. T. Fitzgerald. Replying to an enquiry about the Northwest Territories he said: "The Klondyke is but a speck on the map of that great gold country. Last season I spent six months in the Peace river country in the interest of the Forty-third Mining Company of Ottawa, going iu tho capacity of a prospector. Our exploring party included thirty-one men and sixty-three horses. Ashcroft, British Columbia, on the Canadian Pacific railroad was the starting point, thence over the Cariboo wagon road to the Quesnelle river, 220 miles. Crossing Upper Fraser river, we traveled northwesterly, following the old telegraph trail to Stewart Lake, stopping at Fort St. James, distant 210 miles from Quesnelle, and 430 miles from Ashcroft. "We struck the gold country at Horse Fly and were in it the rest of tbe journey. Crossing Stewart lake at Fort James we took the trail to Mauson creek, traveling 150 miles to the Omenica country, where Colonel Wright of Ottawa and Captain Black of Victoria aro opening up large hydraulic mines for their respective companies. Here, coarse gold is found together with nuggets of silver, being the only place in America outside of Mexico where silver in this form has beou discovered. Camping at Block Jock we prospected the country and made a number of locations ou which machinery has since been placed, aud mines are uow iu operation. Breaking camp at Black Jack we crossed the Omineca river into an unexplored region, traveling north 270 miles from Omineca or 840 miles north* west of Ashcroft, our initial point. This brought us iuto the Peace river country, whore wo spent the halauco of the season, prospecting and locating miuing claims, "We took up 2,500 acres of placer ground along tho Peace river. At a depth of 18 feet we struck bedrock and found the ground to prospect $100 to the cubic yard, and iu some instances as high as 8000 were obtained. The Two well-known English mining engineers arrived on the Charmer Sunday evening and are registered at the Driard. Tbey are Messrs. G. R. Fear- by, M. E., of Coolgardie, W. Australia, and Wm. Gray, M. E., London, Eug. Both gentlemen have had extensive experience the world over. Mr. Fearby is highly recommended by Dr. Dawson, chief of the geological survey of Canada, while on his departure from Coolgardie be was presented with a com pllmentary address and handsome gold watch and chain by his friends there. Last year Mr. Fearby traveled 7,500 miles in saddle and trap In hia examination of the mines of West Australia, and he reported on some of the best paying properties placed on the Lou don market. He has spent many years among the mines of Australia and fourteen years in the mines of the Malay Peninsula, W. Borneo, Phillipino Islands and China. He has therefore in addition to his scientific knowledge an extensive practical knowledge that only experience and hard work citu give. Mr. Gray has had on extended experience In the mines of the United States, especially in Colorado, These gentlemen have come to British Columbia to investigate its mines and will remain several months. They represent no syndicate or company, but while here will make reports on mining properties for clients. The value of such reiKjrts to those desirous of placing their property on the London market is obvious.âColonist. Two miniug meii'of'repututiou cume over Tuesday from Llllooet after a three weeks trip throughout the Cariboo and Lillooet mines, Wm. Hamilton Merritt, the well known miuing engineer of the Kingston School of Mines, and Edgar P. Rathhone, a well known English mining engineer uud late Inspector of Miues to the Transvaal Government Witwatoraud gold llclds, having served us such Government Mine Inspector for about seven yours. Mr. Rathbone gave a JOURNAL representative a very outortuhilug sketch of the cdnditlon of things at tho time of tho Jamieson raid. Dr. .lamb-sou, accord' ing to Mr. Kuthhouc, wus so situated that while his judgment told him that ho should not hmtdo the Transvaal until he flrst had word from the whites at Johannesburg, circumstances compelled him to move when he did or give up the project entirely, aud whilo he mado an ill advised move it was done with the intent to forward empire interests. The condition under which meu have their money invested in the Transvaal is one that is far from and' uovor can be satisfactory undor the, Boor government. Mr. Rathbone is heartily glad to get away from the country. Messrs. Merritt and Rath- bone visited Qucsnelle. spent some time iu Stnuley, stayed a day at Barkerville, visited Grouse, Antler, Snow shoe and several other creeks, crossed over to Keithly and on to the Forks of Quesnelle, visited the Dam, the Cariboo mine aud on to the 150 Mile House and down Lo Lillooet via Clinton. Of Lillooet these gentlemen spoke highly but were under obligation not to give particulars of their trip. Mr. Rath- bone stated that in his judgment Cariboo was a land of great promise and its yield of gold from deep creeks would be enormous in times to come. The country should have capital to develop aud there wero plenty of opportunities to take hold of properties with a fair chance to make good mines, Mr. Rathbone does not think Ihat tbe fool investor who is roped iu by the gay deceiver ou throe ceut stock is entitled to much consideration, us the man who will put his money iu a mine unless he has the opinion of some une in whom he has confidence, should un- derstaud and does, that he is buying a pig in u sock, and tnke bis medicine, whether it proves to he bitter or sweet. Both Messrs, Merritt and Rathbono expect to return to Cariboo at no distant day as tbey have properties under bond on which deals may bo mode tbat will cause these gentlemen to spend n good share of their time in Cariboo for some time to come. QUESNELLE. The M. -fc M. Company have shut dowu, owing to a shortage of water, for the season. Tho managers do not give out the output for the season. The mine is being worked at a disadvantage, owing to a limited water supply, Tho Sydney Gold Mining Company have moved iheir scows up the river u few miles and will test thoir machinery pretty thoroughly before attempting the difficult trip through to Smoky river, whero they havo u large tract of dredging grouud. The dredger now in oporutiun on the Quesnelle river, it is stated, will again try to work tho rivor bed by a suction pump. Reports so far havo been cu cnuragingaboiit the results of a dipper used. There is rich ground ou the part of the Quesnelle where the dredge now is and if yards of gravel enough can be moved the work should be a success. LOCAL NEWS.

The Ashcroft Water Cumpuny is incorporated and it now looks as though tho next few months would see a com pleto wuter system aud olectric light plant in operation and a flrst class hotel erected, All are much needed im- lttrgcst results were obtained on thc provements. Reports from the Horsefly nro mos t encouraging. Senator Campbell has resumed work sinking aud expects bedrock within the next 20 or 30 feet. His shaft is now down 240 feet. He is in a gravel strata that carries some granite that in the Horse Fly gold mine just overlies tho rich strataof gravel ou bedrock. It is expected when this layer Is gone through rich gravel will be found, The quartz mill on the Horse Fly Hydraulic Company's ground, is crush ing from 80 to 90 tons of cemented gravel every 24 hours. It is expected even this large amount will be increased to 100 tons or more after u few weeks. A large amount of ground iu various sections of the Horse Fly couutry is beiug staked off and if the good results from operations uow being carried ou aro realized there will bo a great camp iu Horso Fly. An Old H. B. Mnn. Thomas Hamilton, to whom tho Journal is under obligation for much useful information concerning the Cassiar and Telegraph Creek sections, was for seventeen years au employee of the Hudsons Bay Company iu that section viz., Stuart's lake, for four years at Ne- chaco river and for somo years a trader at Fort Connolly. During Mr. Hamilton's time many bands of cattle were successfully driven into Telegraph creek and tho Casslar mines, The route, Mr. Hamilton says, Is through a country abounding iu feed and the trail is easy for packing or herding cattlo. From Telegraph creek the new trail to Teslin Lake will put interior British Columbia within easy drive of the Yukon markets. No other route offers the inducement for overland travel to thc Klondike that the Cariboo- Cassiur-Teslin Lake route does. Thousands will travel it next season. They will buy their puck animals iu Ashcroft aud begin the journey here. All along thc route they cun restock and resup- ply if tlioy wish nt Telegraph crook, aud further they cmi spend their time profitably iu prospecting the creeks and rivers on thoir way and may strike another Klondike beforo going many huudred miles and Teslin Lake, 700 miles from Quesnelle by,trail, is bound to bc a great mining sectiou, so say all authorities. A partner of James Buin in the California mine, whose iiamo wo are unable to leuru was badly hurt by au accident in tho mine the fore part of thc week. Several ribs were broken and hejsotherwise injured but will recover. L. M. Dennis of Lillooet is sojourning for a day or two at Ashcroft. Workmen are repairing the foundation to the C. P. R. water tank this week. There are woll grounded rumors of approaching weddings nlong the Cariboo road. A suggestion was made this week that the old Harper's mill would make a good brewery. Charles Miller, of the stago company, left for Toronto this morning but will return in nbout three weoks. Officer Burns, of Lillooet, came over yesterday to meet his wife and family, who ure joining him at Lillooet. This hns been nu unusually slack week of freight shipments. Guess our forwarding agents must bnve been fishing. '; B. Lee hus sold the larger part of his band ot horses but still has a few good driving and freight animals on hand. D. A. Stoddart, M. P. P., of Clinton, paid Ashoroft a visit yesterday and was spending tho day with his many Ashcroft friends. Beef cattle on the range are now in splendid condition aud if good steaks are not now provided by your butcher it is his fault. The idea of a Recreation club, with reading rooms, etc., is a good oue and should bo observed in regard to hours, recreation, etc. Miss Pauline Tiugley goes with her parents to the coast tonight and after a visit with friends in Victoria will reenter school at Vancouver. Repairs are going on nt the Perry ranch and rumors of various kinds are afloat. If congratulations are in order Ashcroft is ready to congratulate' There will be an excellent crop of hay in this section aud the reports from j up the road are to the effect that hay and grain crops will be good except in some few places where grasshoppers have done somo damage. Superintendent of Telegraph Wilson spent a fow hours iu Ashcroft this week. Mr. Wilson states that enquiries have heou made ils to the probable cost, etc., of extending Barkerville lino north. It is tlie most feasible line to build to the Klondike aud eau be built cheaply. Mr. John Shields left for Kamloops this morning aud will spend a day thore, after which he will go down to Vancouver and Victoria and ou to bis homo In Toronto, where he intends getting tho material for the wuter works system for Ashoroft, If all goes well the system will bc comploted this full. Today's issue contains twolvo uotices given by tho Rivers mines on the Bonaparte, 10 miles from Ashcroft, in applying for patents. This company bus done their work us delight eth tho heart of a mining man, thut is, uo fuss and feathers but quiet work und paying thoir way. They hnvo over 1,500 feet of tunnels down or shafts sunk. THE TESLIN TRAIL. Mr. John C. Oallbreath was u passeu* ir from the north hy tho steamer Queen, arriving on Sunduy evening, says tho Victoria Colonist, The instructions from the lands and works department authorizing Mr. Cullbreath to proceed with the work of putting the trail from Telegraph creek to Teslin lake tu first class shape were scut uorth by tho steamer City of Topeku last week hul were not, received by Mr. Oallbreath previous to his departure. The trail Mr. Cullbreath reports pas sable for puck trains ut tho present time, so loug ils they curry light loads. Tho streams have to be forded, but as the water in ull the creeks at this timo of the year is at a very low stage no trouble could uow be ex'perieued ou this account. There are a few spots along the trail where gardens could be made for roadside bouses. Grass in great abundance grows all along tbe trull: a comparatively level country is found nud the hills met with are uol a serious obstacle for either a trait or wagon roud. The trail can be passed ovor or avoided altogether, the greatest difficulty to bo surmounted on it being the swampy nature of the grouud in places, which although dried out at present, is very bad in the early part of the senson. When the roadway is properly constructed there will ouly be one hill of auy considerable altitude and this extends from Telegraph creek to the summit of the mountain when passing from the creek to the west fork of the Tahh-tan stream. Over a good trail loaded animals would pass to the head of the hike in twelve days, whereas it takes now fifteen days or " I havo packed three loads over the trail this year, experiencing go«Mi wenther. Thore has beeu an exceptional rain fall up there this season, but the climate has been mild Tor all. , proper light draught steamer for tlio river could carry freight from Wraugel to Telegraph Tor 820 per tou. providing it bad u considerable amount of freight to carry. The rates from hero to Wraugel are high, and the wharfuge ut Wraugel is 83 per ton, but if there was a large amount of freight passing up the river it would be re duced to a reasonable figure. A stem wheel steamer of right build can ascend the Stickeeu at auy season, *j-< â *â¢ vidiugthe Ice is out. With the ice out of the river a steamer drawing 2'a feet and having the freight, rapacity of 100 tons, could go up to Telegraph. Navigation here opens in the fore part of May, but a steamer has made tho trip iu the lost of April. She left Wraugel on tbe 27th or 28th of that momh and arrived at Gleuoni on the hist day of the month. This happened iu 1870. On thc 15th of May lost year 1 found ice in the river, but it was all gone next day. "I do a little farming on Telegraph creek aud raise hay for our pack trains' Oat*! and barley are also grown successfully either for hay or grain, bu. where theso nro grown the spots are like oases iu the desert, the general face of tho couutry producing nothing but grass and bushes. Below Glenora and extending down as far as Grand Rapids there are many fine pieces of land, suitable to growing almost anything. Some of it is meadow land, where hay is cut aud other places are covered with willows and black alder. Teslin lako has been described as a tine body of wuter nbout 100 miles iu length and from three to fivo miles wide. Hoota- liuqua river is described by those who have been up and down it as free from snugs and (boulders aud not nearly as rapid ils tho Stickeeu. It is perfectahle for five months of the year, but the lako would not bo navigable for more thau four mouths. If I had the money tomorrow I would run n steamer from Teslin lnke to the diggings and from Wraugel to Telegraph, providing the government would complete tho trail to say uothiug of a good wagon road. A good 12 foot road could, I think, be built for 8150,000. Tho trail uow running to Deose lake, the old Cassiar road, is now u first class oue for jiaok trains, although a good many more hills havo to bo passed with not nearly so good feed as is to be found ou tbe Teslin trail. I consider the Teslin trail the only route over which one can get cattle and sheep into tho Klondike country." It is Mr.,Culll>reath's Intention to return north by the next steamer aud carry out the intention of the government, placing the trail in thorough repair. This work will necessitate the building of only two bridges of auy size, and these will uot be more thau 100 feet long. An article carefully prepared in regard to the Cariboo Cassiar route to Lake Teslin Is not published this week, owing to an unusual uumber of legal notices that came In for publication. The article, giving route, distances, condition of trail, etc., by one well acquainted with the upper country will be published next week.

We were much pleased, as you can easily imagine, with this very favorable .statement', und naturally sn as It lefl us with a still large surplus of capital namely, (i,0(K) poundk, availablo for nny further ox- pendltiire which might be found advisable. But, unfortunately, as only too frequently happens, it turned out to be too good to ho true, and we were, much to our regret, doslined to be rudely awakened from our pleasnnt anticipations for the future, and compelled to look some ugly Tacts in the face. Mr, S. Baker, the engineer who had made the former reports, returned to British Columbia in April lost, aud, although at Uie time unconnected with this company, save us a largo shareholder, he visited the company's property'Uud examined into the then state of affairs. Tbe result: was that he wrote us a further report of a very different complexion from his reports which had proceeded it. to which I have referred, and with which you are probably acquainted, This Board was very slow tobellevnthal matters at tho mine could be so bud as had been represented hy Mr. Baker, hut we are sorry to say that, on eommiiuieating with Mr. Charles Tetley the company'sbiisiness manager, who has examined the works himself, we lind that hoconllrms much that Mr. Baker has snid. I will presently read to you Ihe last reports of Mr. Baker and Mr. Telley respectively, whieh will enable you lo judge of the present state of affairs for yourselves. You will see that vory serious errors it Wit-) a very good sleigh road, and I believe he fntondr. m-oinineiiding that there should bo a pnst offloe «fc t-hfi claim and that Government should be asked lo improve the . rond. This is about the svorst time of the year for traveling and ihe rond was very soft in many places hul even the stage road Is sofl. Tlie huts nl the claim have beeu made very comfi'i*tahlc,and a store hut built hy the meti, when not otherwise employed, wilh inferior planking. In such a place il Is absolutely necessary for tho engineer In.koep twuor three nnu to chain, hold the level, -stall'und do oilier work, which requires trained men. nnd it would he inadvisable to employ contractor's meu. The small tunnel, il was believed, would he very ensy io construct, but to the surprise of everyone large boulders were met with iu the roofaudgave much trouble, The tunnel was complete, hut as there was a considerable amount id' ice iu it 1 did not go through. This ico is formed hy streams of water, aud to prevent the freezing the end will have to bo closed at the beginning ofwlu- ter. or other precautions taken. The long tunnel has been pushed ahead very fast, and there was only _!00 feot iu length left to be done, und it is expected fobs through on the 21st or _S0tk of this month. Tho ground varied hul with lhe exception of a short piece uteach end, is stated to be cousoli- dnied gruvel more or less compact, always requiring the use of a pick, but no powder has been used. The whole of the tunnel appears to have been con strue.ied in a solid and workmanlike manner, and. in addition to thc lining behind lhe frames there is an inne liuiiiL' made out of plunks, which have heen rejected as not good enough for fluming. The saw mill was set up three limes and has sawn about HIXUIU.) feet of lumber i board measurement.) and (he requisite material has been delivered and stacked along the ditch line. It was considered advisable to lay in a large surplus, for unco the sawmill is taken away it'would he very expensive to yet in lumber, even if any were available in yncsnelle. Messrs. Mcintosh & Co., wish to dissolve: partnership, and for that reason are willing to sell Ihe mill. They iwk 8-1,350 for the mill as it now stands ctoso by the claim, and I have forwarded their offer to Mr. C. Telley, as the company must, have a sawmill, or pay very heavy rates for lumber. With the experience Mr. Belts has gained from the working of last winter, all Messrs. Mcintosh's workmen's pay-rolls having passed through his hands, lie knows exactly what, it costs to saw lumber aud the bost way of doing it there. Tho winter was favorable to sawing, but has been most disastrous to the work, and all hope of getting any gold until next spring must, boglvon up. The temper alure, I am told, changed In a few days from 20 degrees helow zero to DO degrees above, and there was a fortnight's very heavy hot weather, with the result that, the snow melted at an extremely rapid rate, causing a number of land and mudslides, aud ground which is usually extremely hard, was so disintegrated Unit it turned to liquid mud and its force was irresistible, so that part of the Humes will have to be put on piles, instead of on a bench cut in the hillside, and this will increase lhe cost, greatly.

Mr. Baker tolls mi1 that he bus written to you aiid put the state of affairs before : liowevor,so thai there may not he misunderstanding 1 will explain the wholeease as plainly us I can. Mr. Buker last year did a considerable length ol ditching, und made his plmis for the flaming. Now, i| unfortunately turns out. that be made the ditch on a land slide, with tho result that this year, when the snow went, the whole ditch was utterly destroyed, and it will uow cost double the amount it originally cost to put it into working order: in olher words, the wholo of Unit length will have to be limned. Then again, he laid out a certain amount of fluming to bo done on the face of a bluff, which dnriug the spring thaws lias been converted inlo astraight precipice, ou which a bird would lind il difficult to Imn';, so you may be sure that no flume can by any possibility he made there. We shall therefore have logo further back and drive a lunnel 1,100 or 1,200 feet loug, at a cost of about §0 a foot.. I n several ol her plac where Mr. Baker intended (lltuhing the gi-oiind is unsuitable for it, and we shall have to build Hume, 'i'he water that he staled could be collected out of various streams, and turned Into Ilie ditch to enable us to begin washing in May or -Tune, has disappeared. To put it. plainly, there is not as much water running in a whole month as would supply one monitor 10 minutes. You will therefore understand how utterly impossible It is for us to prodm gold until we get the whole length of ditch and flume built. Mr. Baker timaled that we would require 05,000 feet of lumber. We linve ('-nt nearly 100,000 feel and I doubt whether we shall have enough. To put the whole thing plainly, Mr. Baiter has mado gross errors in his estimates of cost, and lie has very much underrated the difficulties of construction. Of course, you will understand Ihat when I sent my cable of ifJtb April the thaw had not set in. so at tbat time wn supposed thai the ditch was all right, It was during tlio tbftW that the damage was lone. We have gone into the matter of expenditure thoroughly and carefully, and as near as it is possible to tell It will cost us 801,000 to put the water on. This, of course, includes the'2,tllKl pounds I cabled for on the :ird inst. Iu this amount we Imve made allowance lor contingencies, and there certainly ought lo be something.

You will admit that that communication was very depressing to us. ADDITIONAL OUTLAY REQUIRED. You now kuow the real state of affairs which we are called upon to meet: and I may here observe that Mr. C. T ley lias redbutly lutprined us that he md Mr. 13otLs, the mine miumgor, who hnscoutrol ofthe works, believe thut the further sum of 8,iKX> pounds, beyond the amounts which have already been, or will bo remitted, will in ull probability cover ull additional outlay up to the actual couiiuencment ofthe washing foe gold. I may state that we now propose au issue of us much us 15,000 pouuds in preference shares, bo- cause it may be tbat some further expenditure of capital beyond the 3,000 pounds abovo iretepred to, may become necessary, .notwithstanding, as I have said, that that amount is now considered enough, aud because, if that should prove to bo the case, we desire to have sufficient capital in reserve whioh may bo called up at any timo it it may be required. We only propose to call up as much us muy bo ueces- sury, which probably wilt uot exceed 10,000: and tbis. wo believe, wlfl leave a slight margin to be drawn upon for current uses. The terms upon whioh these preference share, are to be issued aro very favorable to the holders of such shares, and it is hoped, therefore thut tho present shareholders will, for that and other reasons u.ideuvor to take up tbo wholo of them pro rata to their present holdings of ordinary shares, 1 statod at tbe outset that 1 would later on endeavor to givo some reasons why we hoped to secure your hearty aud indeed cordial co-operation iu bringing tho proposal now submitted to you to a successful issue, uud I will now try to do so. In tho lirst place, you are aware thut when the company wus formed it hud three claims ouly of SO acres each In extent, or 210 acres iu all. Well, the compnny now possesses eight cluhns, or l>.0 ncres; that is to say, its present holding of gold-bearing alluvial ground is nearly three times as large as it wus when wo stnrted. This fact iu itself is quite enough, ns wo think, Jo wnrrantnn increase of capital such as that uow asked for. SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES. This onormpUS tract of couutry is fur more, woboliove, than our company icsclf can possibly work properly or of* fectuully, and It follows, therefore, thut, when we are once in a position lo show gold producing results, which wo hope to bo early in tho season of next year, wo slmll be enabled to tako steps for the formation of ono or more subsidiary companies on our claims, Aud If this should bo brought about mid there appears to bo no good reason why it should not we need hardly say thut hero will arise a source, possibly a very considerable source, of additional in come to the coinpuny. Willi rogard to tho value of thc ground itself as a gold producer, you doubt lens noted wlmt Mr. Charles Tetley said upon tho subject, which, although ho expresses himself cautiously, is full of promise as coming from such a man. Ilo has ap pareiitly satisfied himself dial tho 0011V puny hus secured a real good thing, and consequently ho himself, being a large shareholder, is very anxious that there should bo no tie toy in getting to work, and it is for this reason tlmt he has pressed us so much for largo mitumces. 1 may add that several shareholders who best know tho value of our claims are thoso who hnvo taken tho lamest number of sharps in tho company. 1 could give you good proof of tliis, and l may perhaps ho permitted to mention tbat the three Messrs. Tot- loy and the three Messrs. Baker hold relatively the largest number of shares. This is a slgnillotint fact which I hope will he remembered by the other share Holders, The estimate of the value of gold contained in a cubic yard of our ground 1ms been variously estimated- at from 2D to 10 cents; but I had it ou tho authority of Mr. Seymour Baker tbat it is fur moro than this. I will not venture to state openly to you what his estimate of the value per cubic yard of somo parts of tho claims was. as actually tested by bim, but I shall have no hesitation instating to any shareholder privately, who may apply lo me, what he snid on this subject. It seemed to me almost too good to lie true, mid yet ho wus very positive on tbis point und in support or bis statement produced some samples taken from the mound iu which plainly gold was very ploill fill. THE ('..Union DISTRICT, h Columbia is uildoublo uis country pretty British Columbia is undoubtedly an auriferous country pretty generally, hut from the accounts which have reached IIQ I should say thai tlieCiiri- plan's, but I gon i,no district, hi which one claims urn old resideiils In sltuali'd, Is Hccond lo none. You "ill doubtless remember tlmt I lutmtiouoil in my statement to tlio shareholders at the statulorymeeljiinheld lust. Novem her, tbat Ibo Cariboo Hydraulic mine, whieh is a comparatively small portion of thegruvel hank ou tho Soulli l-'orks river, hud yielded 931,000 from seven teen days' lULsbiug of the paying gravel, und thai the mine iiiauugor est! muted when he was able lo wash Ihe lower 100 fool ofgliivolho would real i/e for his company 81,000,000 por annum. Oui* properly Is of apparently He same cbarncter as tbis mine, and ihereioiv there appears to bono reason that similar results will not he obtained by tbis company. 1 ferred also to the Tact tbat from an alluvial gold mining properly on the olio river, in Cariboo, upwards of 1,000,000 pounds lu gold bad been taken from'-.1- milesonly. lu conclusion I may say tlmt your directors oousider that this company possesses a very valuable property, which, when worked properly, will return rich results to the shareholders, and we earnestly recommend you all to retain your full iuterest iu it. aud wait patiently for results, which cannot now. we believe be long delayed. If we obtain this money, which I may repeat is required within the next four mouths to the extent of S.000 pouuds at least, we hope to have all the works duly completed by next November, and to be thus iu"u position to start the washing for gold witli four monitors.eurly next yourâ that is, in Aprilor May.

I do not know that I have anything further to say except that 1 shall be glad to answer any questions which may be put to me by the shareholders and to give them any iuforrau- tion iu my powor. THE RESOLUTIONS. 1 now beg to move tho following resolutions: "That tbe capital of the company he increased to £80,000, by tbe creation of 15,000 new shares of XI each, to be called preference shares, to which there shall he attached tho special right uud privileges following, that is to say: fi> the holders of such preference shares shall be entitled to receive out of the profits of the company as n lirst charge, a cumulative preferential dividend at the rate of 10 per cent, per annum on the capital for the timo beiug paid upon such shares respectively, (il) Whonevertho profits of tho company in respect of any year shall be more than sufficient to pay the preferentiul dividend uforo- said tt> the close of such your, tho holders of tho preference shares shall be entitled, iu addition to the suid preferential dividend, to participate iu tho surplus pari passu wilh the holders,of the other shares, (ill) In tho event of the winding up of the company, the holders of the preference shares shall be entitled to have tho surplus assets applied lirst in paying oil' the capital paid up on preference shares hold by them respectively. Secondly, iu paying off the arrears (if any) of the preferential dividend aforesaid to tho coin- moucemout of the winding up, and thereafter to participate ruteably with the holders of othor shares in the residue (if any) of such surplus assets wbicb shall remain after paying off tho lapital paid up on such shares, (iv) If the preferenco shares aforosaid shall bo converted into stock, such stock slmll bo culled preferenco stock, und the rights and privileges attached to tho preference shares shall, us nearly as may be attached to tbe preference stock. Iv) livery holder of preference shares shall imve one vote for every preference shaio bold liy liim* (vi) Except as herein provided, the preference shares shall be subject to Ibo regulations contained iu the articles of association, a.. If forming part of the original ordluary capital of fhe company." Mr. 11. B, Totloy, In seuoudlug the resolutions, said ho did not think it was necessary to add many words after the full statement of the chuirmau,hut bo might say thut ho hud taken a lively Interest in the company from Its Inception, mid ho still had all thcconlldouco that ho had In it at tho boghming. lio did uot see any reason for despair There was no doubt that, thoy bad boen vory unfortunato in tbo position in which their ditch wus placed, but wo iu this country wore not able to appreciate tho tremendous climatic influences which had beeu at work, more es pecially this year, in thut neighborhood. A change from 20 degrees below to !K) degrees abovo was something that we wore quite unable to appreciate ju this couutry. The fact was tlje suow melted with grout rapidity, and came down tho luouutaVn gorge in which the ditch was situated with terrific iforoe, und thore wus no question whatever that It required a very strong pieco of engineering to withstand such a strain, He thought thoir experience would touch thorn not to pluce flumes on a gravel bed in future. The tunnel which it was proposed to ruu through the mountain sido would completely avoid any mistake of that sort in the future. They bad taken up 010 additional acres of gold-bearing alluviul luud, some of which wus said to bo richer t ban their original claims. Those 010 acres wero an exceedingly important asset to the company, and, ns the chairman so well put it,.would justify the company in applying for a much lurger capital. Very few mining com pantos, with sucli prospects as this one. had so small a capital ul the oommou- cement uud even with an additional -.15,000, it. would only niuke a moderate capital of .CSO.OOO, I lo hoped tho resolutions would be out-Had unuuinioiisly, and thai all shareholders would subscribe to thc host id (heir ability. The resolutions were then pill, HI 111 carrlutt unanimously, The Chairmen added lhal he thoroughly believed the company possessed ii very valuable properly. Tbey had mol witli misfortunes, as Mr. Tetley had so properly said, but so had a great many other people, ll was not the llrsl lime in bis experience Ihat an inaccurate stalenient bad been made, lt was necessary to face the situation, and he hoped every shareholder would e the directors his support in carrying through the scheme. Ho believed the compnny would be a groat success. Ills son had traveled iu the district hi which Ibeir cluims were situated, and ordtug to his statement thoy woro richer than they had hitherto supposed. Replying lo Mr. Skyes. tbo Chair mini said tho shareholders would be at liberty to apply for us mnny preference shares ns they liked. If auy gentleman possessed -100 shares, he hoped he would apply for 400 preference shares, because he did not wish any outsider to step iu and reap tho advantage of the 10 per cent. The calls would be 2s Od on npplicntion and 2s tid on nllotmeut, nud the others would bo made as easy as possible. If the shareholders supported the directors, he did uot think thoy would havo much to complain of in theeud. Mr. Henry Maun, Jr., proposed a vote of thnnks to the Chairman, which wns secouded by Mr. Skyes, and duly carried. Thc proceedings then terminated.- Loudon Financial Times. NOTICE. .

LILLOOET, U.C. ironi|itl: The live cumpiirtnu-nt shaft at tbe Troadwell mill is now down 55 feet, lt 12 feet by 7 feet 1 inches and is timbered in line shape. Some of tho best quart'/in the mine, from that portion of the pit knows us Cassiar point is being brokeu down to bo ruu through the mill with the waste rock from the shaft. Some of tho men working on the steep wall of tho pit, 240 feet above the floor, aro kept from falling down by ropes tied about their waists. Whou seen from tho bottom of tho glory hole they look liko pigmies away up the face of tho cliff. A great muss of rock istimated at 300 tous was thrown dowu by a single blast a few days ago. The mlue is looking well and Captain Mein estimates that lliero are 7,000,000 tons of ore in sight, enough to run a 500 tamp mill eleven years. A cablegram from Loudon was ro eeived in Victoria on Monday, stating that Mr. Herobell Cohen had beeu successful in obtaining tho capital of 8400,- 000 to carry out tho undertaking of Cassiar Central Railway Company, for which a charter of incorporation was granted at tho bust session of the Provincial Legislature. This is the compnny to which Provincial aid wus granted in the form of n right to lease not exceediug 700,000 acres of laud iu tho Cass.ai*idisti'ict, which concessions of all the minerals which might bo found thorclu.

Au eight months old child oi Mr.uud Mis, Dorbiu, of tliis place, died on Thursday last nf cholera infantum and was buried yesterday. Mr, and Ml--. Dorbiu have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement. It Is reported that nearly WJ00 has been subscribed toward a Methodist church buildiug for Ashcroft. We are fortunate in this section iu having a class tif clergymen who are liberal in their views and gentlemen above reproach, aud uone stand higher iu tho i esteem of the people of Cliuton and Ashcroft than dues the Methodist min istor, Hov. James Turner, who has been known and appreciated for his good deeds from Ashcroft to Barkerville for many years past. Threo or four working men from around Ashcroft have left for Klon- d'ke. Quito a number will start from this si etiim with jmck animals iuthe early spring for an overland trip to the laud of gold. An Indian living in Nicola leaves Ashoroft fm-ibe BellaCoolaSwedish settlement tm the coast, He will go through ti Ipw pass in the coast range witu a pack tra'.'i and a lot uf cayooses for the colonists. No particular grief seems to bo expressed on account of Turn Bishop having Inken bis departure rrom this sec tion. If the Kloudikors need auy oue to start a burying ground witli. well, we do UOt expect Turn buck. Miss L. Wardell aud Miss A. li. Ward of b W. Foster's establishment, left for Kamloops .Momlay morning to spend [Mtrtof tbeir holidays visit ing friends there. Tlioy will also put in a couple of weeks camping out at Savonas with Mr. mid Mrs. Shaw mid family. Roy Hagin, the young man who was shot near Bridge Creek a few weeks ago by the Indian boy.Johnny Duck, came down the first of the week to Ashcroft with his uncle and R. T. Ward and went wesl. to his home in Washington, where he will remain until be gets better. Dr. J. R. Williams and Philip Parke each made a fine catch of trout on Thursday, having about _-) fish, the result of three hours' fishing. They were rainbow trout, being iu weight from one tti live pounds each. No stream in tlio world excels tbe Thompson for this class nf fishing. .1. H. Clements left last Saturday for Ktlmontnii to meet his bride. Miss Jackson from Toronto, aud tbey were to be married thoro tm Wednesday t ning. Congratulations frum his friends ia Asbcroft.

Weare pleased tti imt ice in the re- pjrl published on another page of the Cottonwood Mining Company's meeting, whioh we have taken from the Fi uaiiohll News, <if London, that Mr. Tetley, the agent in charge at the present time, nntl Mr. UettK.the company's en nineer now in charge of the work have been very conservative in their esti mates and reports, and if the work as done has been disappointing to the stockholders these yentlouien arc In no nny to blame. ....-â that 1.
