Mr. Laws also took up some placer ground on Hlxon creek and will bottom the deep channel. Mr. Armstrong also located for himself three miles of placer ground on Antler creek. Like every other practical prospector and miner who gives Cariboo unprejudiced attention he Is satisfied that the region ia on the eve of an era of great prospeilty. He contends that the deep diggings on Slough creek aud Willow river ur. ofthe grcaiesi merit.

This creek will no doubt attract moreallcution for bydinu licking in the ucat future than it has in th past. L. E. Thompson, secretary for the French company on Quesnelle river passed through Ashcroft on Thursday. He left the company's horses at Neshltt's ranch for the winter. We hope to sec Mr. Thompson return to the country in the spting. Articles or agreement to run a 100 yard footrace were signed yesterday by Murray nnd Dcascy for a purse of Hfly dollars, on Thursday the 17th ot Oct. at 2 p. m. nt Ashcroft. Tbo money is posted with Jack Hardy, stake holder. Thc race will bo close aud interesting. W. C. Fry hns his ditch about completed on the company's ground ou the Cottonwood and the pipe is now on the way up, having been loa-lcd by teamster Maxwell about a week ago. Mr. Maxwell, however, bus been delayed several days by his rack giving out and only left for up country on Tuesd ay. Thc company cxpeel to be In operation early next scnsin. Mr. Munroe of Lytton, who has been in Cariboo for the season, informs the Jonn- nal that tho quartz outlook is particularly good in the section he has been prospect viz, Island and fiurna mountains. This seems to be tlio universal opinion of tho mining men of this region and that in tbe near future quarlz mining will occupy a leading piucc in Cariboo. It seems that another couple on their way to get married got their wagon wheels out of shape on the Cariboo road and did uot And out that the two large wheels instead of being behind, where they ought to have been, were both on the same sldo. Tho next couple that goes out in that section on matrimonial business had better luko the mother-in-law along to look after them and keep those villainous and envious bachelors out oftho way. Thc ball given at the town linll on Wed- nesdny evening Oct. 2nd, by lhe Lytton Orchestra was a success in every particular. The attendance was all that could be desired, the music first class nnd good order was preserved by thc floor manager. Over fifty couples participated In tho dancing and it was In full swing until four o'clock in tho morning. Tho ball was a credit to the originators and Ashcroft will long remember it as a night of pleasure. The supper was given at tho Cariboo Ex change nnd to Mrs Wallers is due the credit. It was tho best prepared and best served supper given in Aslieroft tor many a day. Among thc generous contributors to the fund for the races at Ashcroft Fair, Wm. Lyne or the Ashcroft enve $03, Walters of tho Cariboo Exchange $40, and Johnson of tho Corgilc $!)0. Over f 100 was collected for Athletic sports and paid out in prizes. The list of subscribers to this fund is at Harvey Bailey & Co'**, and may ho seen by any one interested. Every one gave according to their means and none refused to contribute their mite. Ashcroft has reason lo congratulate itself that all visiters were satisfied. All prizes were paid In full and the Fair was a pronounced success. The unfortunate conflict in dates with tho Ash. croft nnd Kamloops Associations should lu the future be mutually avoided. Freight Shipments.

ABOUT GOLD MINING, The Western Mining Wnrltlsiiyi-i Oecnsionally there will bu met with a rich gold mine whiuh will stand for a Sricf period tli.it kind of reckless niHiingmont thnt would send the cold clnlls down the back uf a eon servtitive business man. These mines are few and far between, but their â -xisteiice does moro harm than good from the fact that the methods np plied in their mating.ment are also â¢tried on other properties, which, while possessing largo woalth in gold, aro not of such a nuturo -is to stand this kind of "kid glove and chain pagnu*' miiiiiige incut, tituX" hence the euterpriaeinvnriably ends disastrously and a valuable mine i-i nbaudoued ns â worthless. All over the westort) mining enun try there are obi gold minus with millions of dollars in low grade ores, which were abandoned years ago at ihu tnno the silver excitement, spread its allunneuts to the miner. At thu present thuo. our cuiiSfli'vativo aud wide-awake men are tjuietly securing eontrol of such propertioa as these. Tlmy are ct'puipping lliem with mod em plants of machinery und erecting woiks for thi.' reduction of their ores iiy the process or processes which have to be the most ndap'table to tin- business of extracting gold from just that class of ores. They me not earning fnbuhius dividends nor are they losing nny- â¢Hntig, but they are earning these dividends which could reasonably be expected from any legitimate maun- i'neturing enterprise. This is mining snd business combined; the kind of mining llmt furnishes employment for competent mine superintendents, business men and metallurgists;, who take large interest in their work of producing gold for Uncle Sam with* -nit question of loss or chance. In this kind of mining you will not find, the speculator or expert. If capitalists want to make minine; investments, not speculations, go to tho experienced Western mining man, tell him whit you have to invest, andyiibove all, impress on him the fu.t that you havo no money for speculation, but **ish to engage in some legiinate enterprise its n business venture with as littloof that element "chance" to cuter into tlie 'ransnetion as is possible. If your mining man (duut call htm an "expert," the name applies loo much that is not complimentary in this â western country) understands his business he wiil get you a mine with nrc in it, but probably of such low grade that It will take eonsideiable money to place it on a paying Imsis. Thfre nro hundreds of mines iu the â¢west whose owners know the value uf their properties, but nro too poor to work them themselves and seldom find an opportunity to sell, for the majority ol the buyers are speculators only and nro frightened away by tlv preliminary outlay necessary to "open np" the mine. When you havo your mine iu view it is no difficult matter to estimate its real value, the amount to bo expended for development and thc value of the oro bodies, woiking, aosts, etc. Thn oniynclual risk run is the Find den "playing out" of tho ores in the -Mine due to more or less geological peculiaritiei- for which our erealorb â â doue responsible.

For several days previous to Oct- tobor 1st, e-fthibltora wore bringing in lliblr products, nml boforo the hour of opening the exhibition wore in place und a noater or boltor nr- ranneil exhibit never appeared before iho eyes of admiring people. Tin big hid I wns filled wilh loiiR tallies on whioh the product of farm uiul garden, nrohurd and dairy were displayed. tin: OTENisu- At 2 o'clock p.m. as previously an- noli licet) the opening of the seventh annual exhibition of the Inland Agricultural Association look pluce. President J, C. Barnes took tho platform and in a few well chosen words announced that tho hour lind arrived and introduced .1. A. Mara, M.P., who had been invited by the manage- jnent to make tlio opening address. Mr. Mara said: (i I thank tho president and the officers of the Inland Agricultural Association fur the great honor they have done me in inviting me lo announce the opening of this exhibition and to call the attention of thc people of this region to thc immense resources and fruitful productiveness of the couutiy tbey cull their home. The magnificent exhibition here laid out before our aduriing eyes is a reassuring feature that should impress every British Columbian that tvo have nature's sure foundation lor prosperity, that while the forest, tho stream, thc mine, shall yield forth their wealth and biing great prosperity to the community, the farms are tho sure foundation upon which it* based the welfare of the state. I am sorry that three big exhibitions are taking place at once, at Ashcroft. Kiimloops, and Vernon, for friendly disposed people from each place would bo glad to visit tho others. Many people at Kamloops sent regrets that they c.mld uot get hero and I am informed that people at Vernon have done tho same. With this iti'igmOcent an 1 splendid exhibition before our eyes it is strange that tho Nova Scotia cow and Manitoba hen should be able lo invade British Columbia, but they do. With the peerless exhibit of fruit here to be Been it is strange llmt California fruit should come into this iiiagnifiouutly endowed region, but it does. The mines of tlie province are just now in a very promising condition. Let not the farmers be behind iu keeping the merits of this grunt commonwealth to the front. Hitherto for years Americans havo furnished the Kootenay mines with their produce till thc farmers of Shuswap sent agents to those mines and now they draw their supplies from BritUh Columbia, It gives nn- exceeding pleasure to note these changes. It shows that British Columbians aro self-reliant people, and mining is bringing a productive pros, perity to the province, let the farmers of the province take udvantago of the betlcr conditions by putting themselves ift a position to supply those mines with lhe best produce in the world and at the sumo time retain within our borders the cash that would otherwise go outside. To th. management of thi. association belongs unbounded praise. Early and lato have your members worked make tills exhibition a success and tbo admiration I hive heard expressed should be, in a small measure, your reward for the unselfish work you havo done in portraying by actual exhibiti thnn which no words could half so well express, thc pictures of prosperity and plenty that British Columbia can produce from the soil by lhe handiwork of man. Mr. President and directors, ladies and gentlemen, it now gives me groat pleasure to announce that the seventh annual exhibition of the inland Agricultural Association is now open.1' A reference to the prize list will 'how that Durham cattle were well represented by tlio prize takers alone, but ii great mauv very fine cattlo were ou the ground besides. It was not possible for all to take prizes. Tho Hereford* wore also well represented as wero the graded stock, Galloways and Polled Angus. The horse show was good. Some exceedingly line horses were brought n for the admiration of tho visitors, and many of the animals showed to finest advantage by reason <.f the careful handling and grooming. Sheep wero out in considerable force and from lhe fill*) specimen* shown [there appears no reason why British Columbia should buy mutton from the lower Fraser or wool from anywhere. Llecestors, Smith do wns, Cotswold aud Shiopshires were represented by able specimens of their kind. rigs of unmistakable origin t> u ted and si-neuled in their pens as naturally as they would have done any hero on earth. Very line pigs they ere, and British Columbia should in future produce all it-J hams aud bacon. The poultry exhibit was very good, about 100 fowls strutting about and cackling, gobbling and squawkbij for the good will of the judges. No liner fowls of all kinds probably ever appeared on a fair ground and yet tnis region imports in large quantities of eggs from Manitoba and the sound country. Il should not be so. â The dairy was well represented, while the exhibits wore not numerous they were good. What one person can produce to perfection another should be able to do. Field produce was exhibited in great variety aud was excellent. The specimens were wed developed and healthy. Parsnips *.U inches long aud 1-1 inches round, mangold wurtzel boot 20 inches long anil 18 inches round figured in the exhibition While many competitors were in the race for prizes there wero none who felt other than proud ol their own produce. Wheat, oats, barley, peas, hops, all came iu lor thc admiration of the visitors. The Bonaparte, Cache Creek, Hat Creek, Maiden Creek, Thompson river wero all friendly rivals for the prizes iu field produce and people from each locality admit ed the products from the other valleys. In tho ladies work department some exceedingly fine specimens of handicraft manufactured by fair hands were to lm admired. Honors were about even between Mrs. VV. Shaw, Mrs. C. Trimble, Mrs. -I. W, Burr, Miss Graham and Mrs. Spears, although one man, W. A. Wood, did get into the charmed circle and cairv off second prize tor a loaf of bread. In fine arts Mrs. F. S, Reynolds exhibited a very fine crayon drawing of the town of Ashcroft and vicinity. A very pretty reach of the Thomp*. son river, th.s bridge,Lcong Sheows, Dougherty's, and Evan's ranches are included m tho sketch. Thc picture was much admired. Miss Graham exhibited a very prettily painted eusnion which also came in for much praise. In the floral exhibit the ladies again oamo to the froiit with many rare and pretty specimens of flower some of them bordering ou the ready magnificent. The Iruil exhibit was thu finest wo oyci saw. It may bo that other purls of British Columbia eau equal the Aslieroft. exhibit but nothing, wo are sure, can out vie tlie Incomparable apples, pours, grapes plums und peaches shown Lure. From liolh ways, up aud down llic Thompson river, from Uiicbo creek, Hat creek, Buna- aparto creek, and Maiden creek, came the iucompumblc specimens. What one iiiuch in Ihis region ciw*gro*v, another, with conditions thc same, sluulil bo able to p roil vice. Iu vegetables the exhibition could nol lie excelled.
