This road therefore\nreally covers a quarter of the\ndistance between the American\nboundary and the Yukon. Sucha highway is an immense advantage to start\nwith. It passes through a rich mineral country all the way, much of\nwhich is still unexplored. Prospecting has been very active around Fort\nSteele during the past two seasons, so\nthat we don't think there is much left\nin that neighbourhood but what has\nbeen discovered. The fact, however,\nthat, according to the estimate of Mr.\nJ. T, Galbraith, J. P., of Fort Steele,\nwho ought to know, $35,000,000 of\nplacer gold was taken out of Wild\nHorse Creek alone,affords indisputable\nevidence of the prospective wealth of\nthat country. That was a richer find\nthan has ever been struck on the\nYukon, and the disadvantages and\ndifficulties of access to the Wild Horse\nwere greater in those days than they\nnow are for exploring the whole area\nof country between Golden and the\nYukon.\nOUTFITTING AMD SUFPLIKR.\nIn addition to the advantages of\nsuch an excellent road tostart on the first\n360 miles of his journey and lying\nthrough a rich mineral country all the\nway, the miner and prospector has\nalso this primary advantage, that he\ncan get his supplies as he comes along\nat reasonable prices. The towns of\nWardner, Fort Steals. Windermere,\nOolden, Donald and Field, with the\nstopping places at Wasa, Canal Flat,\nMcKay's Ranch, Shorty's, Spillimaoh-\nene, Hog Ranch and Carbonate, place\nhim within easy reach of civilization\nover all the distance of this 310 miles.\nPlenty of horses are to be had at rea%|\nsonable rates on this side of the line,\nand purchasing here will save the\nduty* At Oolden, before entering into\nthe northern country, the prospector\ncan get a complete outfit, and thus\nSA7S freight or packing and duty. A\ngsntleman who Is organising an expedition from 8pokane for the Yukon\nby way of Columbia Valley recently\nwrote ns, asking for Information as to\nprices, and how far the expedition\ncould be outfitted in Golden. We obtained the information showing that\nprospectors can be outfitted at Oolden\nWe now come to consider the resources of this great Columbia Valley\nand its extensions to the noith as far\nas these resources have been proved hy\nprospecting and development. Coming\nup the Kootenay River from the American boundary we have on the right\nthe Rocky Mountains. While further\nnorth these mountains largely consist\nof limestone, which is unfavorable for\nmineral deposits, it is different between\nCanal Flat and the American boundary. There the flank ranges consist\nlargely of porphyrias which give the\nrich n.imjral deposits of Colorado, and\nwere douhtiess the source of the great\ndeposit of gold which was discovered\nin Wild Horse Crook. The other\ncreeks (lowing from the same range\nbear more or less indications of gold.\nBull River, Tracey Creek and WaSft\nCreek all curry placer gold more or\nless, and soma rich quartz deposits\nhave been found and are likely to be\noperated shortly. On thn left side\nis the Selkirk range, which is really\ntbe \"Mother lode\" of the rich mineral\ndeposits of British Columbia. Ou both\nits eastern and western slopes this\nrange literally teems with mineral\nwealth so far as it has been prospected, and its extent is so vast that it\nwill take years, with thousands of\nprospectors continuously at work, to\nthoroughly explore it. This range\nruns in unbroken length from the Ai\nerican boundary to the Big Bend of\nthe Columbia, a distance of 450 to 500\nmiles. Near Fort Steele it carries tho\ncelebrated North Star and St. Eugene\nmines, with many others which are\ncoming into prominence. The streams\nflowing from this range are also gold\nbearing. Rich strikes have been made\non Nigger and Weaver Creeks, and we\nnotice that Perry Creek is now to be\nworked for its placer gold. St.\nMary's iB also reported to\nbe gold bearing. Then we\ncome to a regular line of streams arer-\naging about 30 miles in long'.h, which\nare either gold bearing themselves, or\npass through rich mineral country\nwhich has been prospected to some\nextent. These streams are ns follows: Skookum-Chuck, Dutch, Find-\nlay, Toby, Horse Thief, No. 2, Bugaboo, Spillimachene, Canyon, Quarts,\npo'cupinc, Beaver and Bear Creeks,\nwith their numerous tributaries.\nAfter tho last season tho rush of\nprospectors to Fort Steele, thinking\nthat part of the country had been\npretty well prospected, made for Skoo-\nitura-Chuok, Dutch and Tohy Creeks,\nwhere many promising leads wero discovered and numerous locations were\nmade. The discoveries consisted mainly of the most valuable class of ores,\ngold and copper, with occasional leads\nof galena. There is evory evidence that\nWindermere will be a great gold and\ncopper camp, and there is a great field\nof unexplored country here open for\nthe prospector. Find lay Creek has excellent placer prospects but few locations have ye* been made on this\ncreek, though it is a moral certainty\nthat it Hows through mineral country\nwhioh will give every prospect of making gold finds. Horse Thief country\nis comparatively unexplored and the\ncopper prospects so far found in that\nvicinity beat anything that has been\ndiscovered in East Kootenay. Similar\nindications have been found on No, 2\nCreek, where the leads are strong.\nBugaboo carries large quarts leads,\nwhich are sure to hold considerable\ngold, and at the head of this creek\nsome very large galena veins have\nbeen developed. The Spill imachene\ndrains an immense area of country,\nnnd there are no bettor prospects any-\nwheie than in this district, which,\nthough not a virgin one for the prospector, has stilt an immense amount\nof territory unexplored. On the Burns,\nCariboo, International and Benmson\nBasins the prospects are such as are\nnot excelled in British Columbia to*\nallowed to lapse aud remain open to\ntho first prospectors who choose to\nre-locate them. Within such convenient distance of the railway, locations\nhere ought to bo specially valuable\nwilh the returns which these are reported to have given.\nThen on the Rocky Mountain side\nwe have tho mineral districts of Otter-\ntail nud Field, where prospects second\nto nono have boen found. This district, we believe, is yet destined to\nturn out some of the richest mines to\nhe found anywhere. While the ore ar\nField is low grade and zincy t s\nan enormous body of it. The Ottertail\nprospects on the other hand show high\ngrade ore and the mother lead of\nthe numerous excellent prospects here\nwaits to bring fortune to the lucky discoverer that is to be.\nNorth of the C. P. R. line good gold\nand copper prospects have been found\nin the Rocky Mountains. Further on,\nin tho vicinity of Donald, big promising Ifjads havo been located, including\non the Bluewater one of the richest\nprospects yet discovered in East Kootenay ore assaying $Ij00 to the ton.\nVery little prospecting has been done\nin this locality. Right through this\ncountry, whose resources we have reviewed, the prospector is within\neasy reach of first class roads and\ntrails at every point of his journey.\nNow we come to a country which is\nalready famous in the history of the\ngoldmining of the sixties. Wo refer to I\nthe Big Bend of the Columbia, which'\nproduced as rich placers as the best of\nthe Yukon, and has been very little;\nworked since that time. Many eyes;\nhavo been turned to this region with a\nview to prospecting it but it has\nhitherto boen somewhat difficult of\naccess.

A.\nBuoke, of Kaslo, a mining engineer of\nextended experience and a well grounded\nreputation for honesty, but the Province says Mr. Bucko will not get the\nposition without having to fight for It,\nas the claims of several others are being pressed by their friends.\nMining in the Golden district of\nEast Kootenay ha-* received distinct\nencouragement by the sale of three\nclaims on the Bugaboo, owned by Dr.\nLangis. of Vancouver,for $83,000< Seen\nby a \"News'Advertiser\" representative\nDr. Langis said a deposit had been\npaid and tlit remainder of the money\nwas to he handed over in iuslnl itents\nbetween now and July 1st, 1899.

There is a mine at Kin-\nbasket Ltlte, about half wav, which is\nbeing developed by the Golden and\nFort StealeCompany.affording i nother\nevidence that t! s country through\nwhich we have passed is a vast mineral belt, awaiting the resoarches of\nthe prospector to reveal its hidden\ntreasures.

This\nSta* eaten t shaws the Province to be in\na serious position financially. Its\nliabilities exceed its assets by $4,284,-\n014. The treasurer balances up his account, to make a decent showing by\nputting in the deficit on the credit side\nas the value of tho Province of British Columbia. That, however, is a\nvery doubtful asset, as the Turner-\nPooley crowd have long since put\nup over the Province the label \"To be\ngiven away to tho highest and most\nnotorious jobbers.\" The result is that\nwe have the Canal Plat and B.
