If Col.

It is\nalso considered from the character of the\nlegislation probably the most memorable one, if we leave ont the one in which\nthe confederation was brought about, or\ntbe other only second iu importance at\nwhich the Settlement Act was pissed.\nApart from a constitutional point of\nview no oilier session has affected Interest of so comprehensive a character or\nachieved results so important to the future of this province. When it is\nsidereil that during the last 10 years the\nprovince has directly or Indirectly thro1\ntbe instrumentality of the legislature\nbrought into existence lines of railway\nactually constructed or under construe\ntion or iu immediate contemplation to\nthe extent of 1600 miles, involving.'! capital expenditure of nearly (40,000,000\none can come to some conclusion as to\nthe magnitude of development that h:\ntaken place, and the people have reason\nto be proud that a young province like\nBritish Columbia with a limited populi\ntion has had lhe courage to face such\nserious problems of communication as\nhave confronted it.\nWhat the Canadian Pacific railway wa:\nto the whole of Canada, the several line:\nof railway provided for during the bite\nsession are tn British Columbia. It is\nnot a lime for faltering. Tlieeyes of the\nworld are upon the Yukon and the min\nend and other resources of British Columbia and in order that the province\nmight be in a position lo take advantage\nof the great idilux of capital, and to turn\n10 advantage ihe popuUtlou that is imminent, it was necessary to act promptly\naud courageously. It may appear a large\nundertaking for the province, but nol bo\ngreat in fact as tbe Canadian Pacific railway appeared lo the whole of Canada.\nCanada's destiny was assured by lhe completion of tbat road and her practical\nindependence secured, To Biitish Columbia it means that the tiemendous\nwealth of minerals distributed so widely\nover its surface will become available ami\nthat British Columbia will take n place\nin the Confederation with and greater\nthan ihat of Canada in the British Umpire.\nProm ibis point of view, therefore, not\nto speak of the other important measures which have been passed, the session\njust closed must become a memorable\none. This sentiment was very well expressed by the Hou. lhe Premier in his\nfew farewell remarks to the House ou the\nevening of the lylli inst., after the orders of the day hnd been exhausted and\nthe practical work of the session was\ncompleted, He said that the session had\nbeen held iu a very eventful epoch of tbe\nprovince, and itself constituted au epoch\nof that history, They had In a very long\naud arduous session, after careful consideration, passed many important acts\u00E2\u0080\u0094*\nso important, indeed, that they were\ndestined to hold a prominent place in\nthe pages of Biltlsb Columbia's future\nhistorian, lit fer ring particularly to the\nI all way legislation, he said that he con-\nsideicd il. and the sentiment was reechoed by the members present, an honour for them all lo have been members\nof the Route and to have taken part iu\nthe work of giving these measures effect\nfor the benefit of the country; and he\npersonally would always consider it the\ngrealest honour of bis life.\nIt was most appropriate under such\ncircumstances that the Premier was able\nlo announce the important news to the\nHouse that the railway Irom Rosslaud to\ntlie coast was lo be commenced immediately aud that the line to Teslin Lake\nfrom a seaport of British Columbia would\nbein progi ess wilhin lhe next few weeks,\nin fact work was already under wny. lt\nis uot often lu the case of great undertakings of this kind ihat a Government\ncan announce tcsulls so quickly and Can\nsay 10 the public\u00E2\u0080\u0094\"This thing is already\ntaking place.\" It might buvc been made\niu the hands of n sensational politician\na very spectacular denouement of the\nwork of the closing days o( a session of\nparliament; but the Hon. Mr, Turner is\nof too practical a turn of mind to turn\nto political effect such opportunities ns\nthese. Very modestly hesaid that these\nworks of development will open up the\ncountry, increase the population and give\nbelter prospects for the success and happiness ol tbe people. That of itself was\na great honor,\u00E2\u0080\u0094une that the members\nshould (ill appreciate, and one in which\nhe was quite willing lhat Uie members\nof lhe Opposition Should share with the\nGovernment.\nThe feeling expressed at the close of\nthe session was in a remarkable degree j\none of good fellowship and personal\nfriendship. The Premier rcfened toil'\nvery appropriately when he snid at the\nlime Ihey had fought ami at times they\nhnd fraternized, but he was sure I hey had\npailed with feelings of respect nnd goodwill for one another. To these seuti-'\nmenls Mr. Setnliii, the leader of lhe Op''\nposition, gave a hearty acquiescence, j\nThe Hon. the Provincial Secretary did a\nvery graceful thing nl the close in referring to the lender of the Opposition wj'.lt\nwhom, he said, he had sat for many years\nin the House and had never known him\nto make a personal attack upon a fellow\n: member, an example that might with\nprofit be followed by those on both sides\ni of the House. Such a compliment com*\nI ing from a prominent member of the\n! Government and so gracefully executed,\nspeaks volumes for the general high\nstanding ol personal and political ethics\nin the Britisli Columbia Parliament,\nThe ceremony of prorogation was\ncharacterized by no special feature. The\ninterest displayed was eveu less than\nusual, if we were to Judge hy the attend*\nmice. TI is Honour was attended by only\none ald-de camp and the ceremony was\nof the plainest possible character.\nAs soon as possible alter the House\nprorogued tbe members will return to\nilieir respective constituencies, and the\nfight may be said to be now fairly on.\nWithin the next two months will be experienced tbe hottest political contest iu\nthe history of lhe Province. The Issues\nnre more involved than they have ever\nbeen before The Government had steadily refused to recognize or encourage the\nintroduction of Dominion politics in the\nfight, and while tbey wi,l nol be altogether absent the lines of cleavage will\nbe mainly provincial. The Government\n1 is standing ou iis record, which, despite\n[ the several minor efforts at sensationalism, remains untainted by scandal. Pew\n'governments of Canada can make the\nboast that in a long term of years of\npower such ns the present hns succeeded\nto there has been no grave abuse of office and no acts of corruption to defend.\nThe record is one of progressive policy\niu the interests of development of the\nProvince, which has been continuous for\nsome years past. Perhaps no other Province in the Dominion cau show any\nthing like the advances in all directions\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094in population industry, trade, etc.,\nthat British Columbia can There can\nbe hut liitle doubt of the result of the\ncontest. The Opposition, whi'f earning\nfor itself a record of respectability, is regarded generally in the light of mediocrity by the public, and generally does\nnot posness such qualifications as would\nentitle it to the confidence of the public\nas leaders and directors of the affairs of\nthe country. Personally, no one can find\nfault with such men as the Messrs. Semlin, Sword, horsier, Williams, McPlier*\nsou, Hume, Graham, Vidder nnd Ktdd,\nall respectable men and good citizens,\nbut who so far in lhe political arena have\ndeveloped no qualities that would suggest them as successors to the present\nadministration.\nTHE NATION'S BACKBONE\ntlio-e land-bank bands a\nmaintained hi Kitt-opa in\nn nwUBStaudingtliti name\noccurred, whether maneti\nreturn kai>'-- i.e.'rcc,\nnort os which have\nor through revolutions or tliroiwli war. 1 'or example, during the\nrevolutionary period ot is is, when the l-rusjftn\nfunds tell to 8 the land hank bonds In tlie sumi\ncountry only fell t\" eg\u00E2\u0080\u0094thus s^ow.ns the eona-\ndeuce whioh was [all by the tnoiey tu trket in\n I this paper money backed as it was byiauimi*\n_ ' der cultivation, but.

The trails\nacross thu GMlkoot and White pns90S\nnro practically Impassable liecntiBe of\nthe frequent nnd severe storms, und\nwill not bo in good condition until\nabout the first of April. Tho result is\n(hut thousands ol men and thouBunda\nof tons of supplies and mining outfits\nnre crowded together on this side of\ntlm summit und have already reached\nsuch number and quantity ns to create\na blockade.\nIt bus been generally understood\n(but it was foolish to go up to that\ncountry earlier than March with tlio\noxpci'tnliim of crossing the passes, nnd\nthat one who did so would simply subject himself to a long wait, to needless\nhardships nml possible sickness while\nconsuming supplies whioh Bhould bo\nkept for service lu the gold HcldB. Notwithstanding thin l'nct, travel begun in\nJanuary and lias continued through\nFebruary, nn average of n steamer u\nday having landed men and freight nt\nDyea nml Skagway, Those who took\nthis early start did ho because they\nfeared a blockade uud worn anxious to\nget over the summit, expecting lo wait\nnt the lakes for thu opening of thu river\nto navigation. Tbu blockade they\nhoped to escape bus come upon them\numl they nro not over the summit.\nMany buvo spout a mouth of hardship\nand toil uml aro worse u1? because oI\nit than are tho newest arrivals\nThero are not loss limn 011,000 people\nIn Dyea and Skagway encamped along\nthu trails ns fur as tbe weather conditions huve permitted thom to advance,\nonly a fow miles at thu most. Tbo\nquantity of supplies, outfits, hunts, machinery, oto., averages not less titan u\nton to oaoh mun. This average will\nbe kept up during tho month of Mnroh,\nand by the first oi' April, when the\nwork of getting over the summit will\nbegin iu earnest, a motlerittu estimate\nof the number of men ami quantity of\nfreight that will hu assemblud thero in\nfill,OUO persoiiB and 50,000 tons of\nfreight.\nThe only thing that hns been accomplished on tbe Skagway trail to make\nit more passable than it wns Inst summer bus been tbo building <>f some\nsmall bridges, and sumo improvements\non the road lending out from Skagway.\nThere has been a tramway project, thore\nhut uo progress has boon made with it.\nThe Indications are that the Skagway\ntrail will not I.e materinlly heller than\nit wns lust uummor, when it wns block*\nitilod uml rendered practically impas*\nRuble by B.000 or 4,000 people and their\noutfits. Of course, us long its the snow\nlasts in the spring the trnil will be i)\nbetter one than when tbu traveler has\nencounter mud und boulders, which\nwore suoh an obstacle n yenr ago.\nAs for tbe trail from Dyott, whioh is\nthu ouu experience has proved to ho\nthe beat, two tramways nre are under\nconstruction for the transportation of\ngoods, line of these bus tt tram railroad from Dyea to the base of ihe summit ridge, and au oleclrlo bucket system ucross the summit to Lake Linile-\ninttiin. The other has two tramway\ncables loading from the ilrst aud second divides und ending nt Lake Llndu-\nin.uiii. Connection between tho Inst of\nthese mnl Dyea will hu mado with\nwagons ami puck animals. Neither\nof these enterprise is ready for operation, nnd tlie possibilities are thai they\nwill not he before tbu iiist of April.\nWhen incomplete operation, their combined capnoity will not exceed 400 tons\nper day. Assuming that hy tho use\nof puck animate 10i> ions per dny eould\nbe taken over the White pasa from\nSkagway, this leaves the total capacity\nof all faoilitles provided for both passes\nnt 800 tons per dny. This menus 1 OU\ndnys fur transporting 50,000 tons thut\nwill l\u00C2\u00BBu accumulated there by the Ilrst\nof April. In other words, accumulations could not lie cleared uwuy before\ntbo middle of Juno. The probabilities\nare, however, thnt during the months\nof April nml Mny uu equal quantity of\nnew freight would durannd tittention.\nIn this calculation no allowance is\nmude for the freight which could be\ntaken on sleds bv imlividiiulfl uml by\ntbe aid of dogs.' This would be inconsiderable, in fact, with such it\nmass of Immunity uud of goods, it\nwould bo almost Impossible for freight\nto bo moved ut nil on those narrow\nportions of Ibe trail where Iho right of\nwny would bu (be Subject of dispute\nnud contention. If pooplo interfered\nwilb each other lust full so us to ciente\nn blockade on both trails with loss thon\n8,000 people attempting logo over, It\n.lues not require n gront [light of imagination lo see Ibe utter blocklldo that\nwould be created by 60,000 people.\nOne who intends to go to Alaska tuny\nwoll stop uud consider whnt Ids chances\nuie likely lo he iu such a mob, und\nwhether bo would not do better lo seek\nBcnno othei route or some other objective point titan tlm Klondike teg ion.\nOf course, transportation tacilltlos from\nthe coast ports lo Alusku huve been\nprovide.! for Dyea und Skagway, but\ndoubtless as soon us this blockade so\ndevelops tlntt intending gold hunters\ndemand to be taken somewhere else,\nsteainerfl will leave the Dyea and Skag*\nwny routes nud seek other ports, such\nns Copper rivor and Cook's Inlet. Al\ntin so places there is room for ull. No\nnariow canyon trail confines tbe gold\nhunter to a particular route, but thero\nis opportunity to spread out over a\nwide expanse of country, now practically unknown, hut reported to he rich\niu gold, Theie nre suid to be low\npusses through the mountains front\nbntb Copper river nml Cook's inlet,\nloading over to tlio Tnnntm uml to the\nhead waters of Birch creek, by which\ntbu now promising gold fields on the\nAmerican side of the line mny be more\neasily reached than by thu route across\ntho Ohilkool pass iiml down the lakes\nand rivers. The government is now\nlilting out mi expedition for Copper\nliveri Undoubtedly these routes will\nho opened up Ihe present season by\nI prospectors even should not the grent\n. stream of travel be turned in that direction.\ni There are already Indications of n\n; desire on u.e part of gold hunters to\nabandon their men of going to Dyea\nund Skagway, uml to Btike out for the\nCopper river und Cook's inlet, lie-\njyund doubt this tendency will rapidly\nI increase aa the crowded condition nl\nthe pusses becomes better known. At\npresent the only facilities for reaching\n.Copper rivor and Cook's Inlet is the\n, United States mad bout operated by\ntho Paolfio Const Steam Whaling Company from Sun Francisco, lhe two\nstiinll stoumeis nojv on the route from\nPortland to Copper river, and the a mill I\nBteamer running from Port TowtiBend\nto Copper river. These steuiuers nre\nalready inadequate to meet the demnnd\numl doubtless more will soon be put\nOII the route.\nI Attention hnsitlmli turned in the\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 .liioelit.ii of tho route hy Port Winngel\nnud Siickeen river.

On this\nBtrotoh ol 1B0 miles it is proposed by u\nCanadian company to conatruct a railroad the present yenr under a Bpeclal\ngrant from the Dominion purl lament of\n-,'0,110(1 hcioh of hind per mile, and\nthe time set for its complutlon is the\n, first of September, It is thus seen\nthut, for this season nt louBt, only such\n, travel can go over the Stickeen route\nus cun he handled by pack animals,\nund this, of course, cannot ho very extensive. Possibly several thousand\npeoplo will attempt this route, with\nthe probability that a huge portion of\nthem will mnke a failure of thoir\neffort. Should this railroad bu built\nand a sufficient light draught steamer\nbo placed ou Luke Teslln and Iloota-\nlinqua river, iu another year the Stick-\ni ecu route would he lhe favorite one.\nUndoubtedly a great many who intend to go lo Alusku ure waiting to take\nIho ocean uud liver mute during tho\nsummer mouths. lleio there is as\nmuch uncertainty as oil the pusses.\nThe facilities have yet to ho provided.\nPossibly us tunny us 60 small Bteainers\nnro undor construction or huve been\npurchased for use on the Yukon iho\n1 coming siimmor; but navigation of thut\n' rivor is expensive nud dangerous.\n! Channels aro narrow and tortuous nnd\nknown only to a few people, Fuel is\nvery difficult to procure, nnd it is understood Unit the companies already\noperating on tlie river have secured all\nthat can he hud for several hundred\nmiles from the mouth of this stream.\nThose companies will not take miners'\noutfits, preferring to tnko in goods foi\n' thoir own stores uud sell them tu\nminers after they get three. Conso-\n! quently miners wishing to tako outfits\ni will have to depend on independent\ni boats which promises tn be a very nn-\n! certain reliance. Certainly,, one going\n1 hy th it route should not undertake it\n; unless ihe transportation company con-\nI tracts with him to carry him clear\n: through lohioadaatliiatloii. Thin, how-\nlever, is a matter about whioh more\nwill he known n few months later. Ah\nstated above, the natural outcome of\nthe presont condition of affairs would\nho the opening up of new routes and\n: now objective points for the thousands\n; who will be disappointed In their expectation of getting over the pusses,\nnnd of getting into the Yukon country\n'. by the present routes.\nAtunkii Min hie No | en.\nThe Alusku Mining Record, pub-\n: lislied al Juunoau, in iis latest issue\ni has tlie following items brought oul by\n\ recent arrivals from tho interior!\nj Messrs.
