This sentence maybe somewhat chest-\nnutty, nevertheless il Is true, it may be\nsnid that people know all about the true\nvalue of a newspaper, but they do not.\n' To some, all newspapers are alike, so long\nos .they have fourpages, so mo reading mat-\ntor and\u00E2\u0080\u0094advertisements. They do not appreciate tho contents, thov think not at\n,ill of Its Influeuco nor th t amouni of its\nsubscription list, it is n newspaper, and\none is as goo 1 as another, and all of thorn\nmight bO a great deal heller. This Is perhaps true in pari, but, the discriminating\nman expends his monoy where there is\nthe best chanco foi nn adequate return\ntor the money invested. Thc man who\nsubscribes to a paper expects to get the\nworth of his money, and tho advertiser\ndoes not advertise, simply for the sake of\nencouraging his home journal. He ex-\npeels some reward for tlie money he invests in printer's ink, and il is right that\nhe should. Ho expects a return for his\ncapital. But there aro plenty who want\nall, and who will give nothing in return,\nand they imagine that a newspaper is a\nbloated bondholder; thoy seem to think\nthat it possesses the famed philosopher's\nstone, and everything it touches, turns lo\ngold. They therefore expect their work\ndone for absolutely nothing, and we regret\nto .\"late that pari oi the press cater to their\nexpectations. That same povlion however,\nis without the pale of legitimate journalism, il does not live, it only exists. It\ndoes not believe in a \"lairday's wage for\na fair day's work,\" and by methods known\nonly to those of that ilk, it secures a certain hold upon the public through its\n. very\u00E2\u0080\u0094cheapness. Influence it has none,\naims il has none, save only the eking out\nof a miserable existence, contemned by\nman and scorned by its contemporaries.\nSuch sheets exist, wo aro sorry to say.\nThe press ol British Columbia will however, for honor, Uprightness, and fraternity stands pre-eminent. As far as our\nacquaintance goes these journals or the\ngreat majority of them' are a credit to\ntheir constituencies, and for enterprise,\npluck ond energy, discount those oi the\neffete East. Our newspapers are\ngenerously Kiipporc.'d by the citizens oi their respective localities.\nIn regard to newspapers, their influence\nand objects, it may be said that thoy have\nno prescriptive rights. It cannot be\ndenied, however, that a newspaper cannot live on air or empty promises\u00E2\u0080\u0094a\npolitician may; but strange as it may\nseem to the uninitiated, a newspaper has\n.1 stomach and must be fed. It is not a\nPit. Tanner, md cannot fust for forty\ndays without sustenance. Neither can it\nlie run for glory. A good paper is entitled to and should receivo the support\nof its constituency, It ;s an exponent\nof thc views of the people; it is the\nchampion and the guardian Of Iheir privileges; it Bounds the note ol warning; it\nhoists thc danger signal. It is the conservator of human liberties and the\nrights of (ho people, From a small beginning) from tlie weakly insignificance\nof an a'most barbaric infancy the newspaper has progressed steadily, grown\npowerful, und to-day it stands foremost\namong the institutions of the universe.\nIt has proved itself worthy of the support\nwhich it receives from the world, its\n[lower good ever increases, and thc good\nwork it has done In the past will be but a\nlithe of that which the future has in reserve for it.\nfailure to attend regularly is not due to\nany misconduct on their part. Whatever is practical to secure their attendance, even irregularly, in larger numbers\nand to encourage in them the desire to\nlearn, should be done.\nEDITORIAL NOTES.\nIr Stanley can be Induced to forsake\nhis American allegiance and become an\nEnglishman for the sake of promised\nhonors it will be a great disappointment\nto the world.

She lately inherited fl fortune\nof a million gulden, and has built an enormous circus building at Vienna. She\nhopes to take her troupe to Ibe Paris Exposition and exhibit it. Herpoculhvr fad\nis encouraged by ber friends, who admire her originality and vigor.\nDestiny, while il onthralls and defines\nindividual ability and therefore lias its\nreflex on the individual life, has nol so\nmuch to do with the happiness or unhnp-\npiness of man. Our content or discontent is esoteric; that is, it proceeds outward from tho action ot the spirit within.\nIt. is Independent oi our surroundings.\nThis much we know, Unit happiness is\nnol tho creature of power, nor honor, nor\nknowledge, nor wealth alone. Happiness\nseldom finds a placo on the throne or in\ntho mansion. It is of tenor found In tho\ncottage \"f the jioor. Where you find content there you will find happiness as\nnear as it can exist iu this world. No\nmatter whether clothed in velvet or rags:\nno mailer whether tho man has Mends\nor none\u00E2\u0080\u0094if he is content, is cheerful and\nhappy. It 's a simple thing to be content and cheerful. A little discipline will\nmake you so. it comes hy introspection.\nTho contented man need not envy tho\nemperor in tho glory nf unbounded\npower, lie need not envy tho scholar.\nHe need not envy the rich. Tho noblest\ngospel which ecu be preached to mankind Is the gospel oi contentment. Destiny, however it may enthrall us in other\nrespects, cannot deprive us of Ihis. We\nare masters of the situation. Take whal\nis your lot ;'i life without a liiU'nnir.\nThai is Ihe text of this gospel. Fortune\nn iv come to you when you least expect\nit, or il may never come.

The man who won did so\nwith hands down, as his opponent stopped rowing. Only two boat loads of people were out to witness the contest.\nni\nStreet Improvements.\nThe corporation workmen have been\nemployed laving the new sidewalk on\nSkinner street. This will add materially\nto the usefulness of that road. Cornish-\ntown has been considerably improved by\nwork done on Fitzwilliam street, but tho\nworkmen left a dangerous hole on the\nside of ihe road where they obtained their\ngravel.\n ...\nIllness of Mr.. It. Whitfield.\nWe are verv sorry to hear that Mrs.\nR. Whitfield is at present in a very critical condition. She has been confined to\nher bed for over four weeks with typhoid\nfever. A lung complication set in yesterday, which together with the fever has\nplaced the estimable lady in n very precarious state. We hope however, that she\nwill soon be restored to her customary\nhealth.\n \u00C2\u00BB\u00E2\u0099\u00A6. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nThe New Theatro.\nThe walls for Aid.

It is ol tlie\nlignite variety and burns well. Amos\nBowman, a mining expert, who was sent\nby the Government last year to report on\nthe coal formation of that district, predicted that coal would lie found there.\nTelephonic\nMr. Hilbert's turiiiture store was connected yesterday by wire with the Central\noffice.\nDr. Walkem's residence at East Wellington will also be connected this week,\nwhich will prove a great convenience to\nmany of our citizens who have frequently\nrequired his medical assistance but had\nbeen unable to obtain it on account ol the\ndistance and lack of speedy communication.\nThe Courier ofllco will also join the\nthrong in this respect in a few days.\nFife and Drum Baud.\nNanaimo is to have another band. This\ntime it is to be composed ol riles and\ndrums. Gladstone Foster is leader and\ninstructor, and will no doubt be able to\nfill the bill. The membership already\namounts to fifteen and there is room for\nmore. The members are very enthusiastic and say they will be sufficiently organized to have a street parade on the\nQueen's birtbdav. The first practice will\nbe held in the I. 0. G. T. Hall next Friday night. Nanaimo is not going to be\nbehind ber sister cities in tho matter of\nmusic anyway.

W. Macey\nmade some very telling remarks relative\nto the question at issue, lie stated that\nhe had seen a boy picking pieces of bread\nand broken meat from a swill barrel, and\nwhen asked thc reason of it, the boy said\nhe was hungry and his father was out of\nwork. Mr. Macey said the only remedy\nfor this state ol ail'airs was the total exclusion of the Chinese. Wc in Nanaimo\nhave done a great deal towards solving\nthis great question. When the Chinese\nwere excluded from working underground, Nanaimo entered on an era of\nprosperity she had never before experienced. The influx of white labor to replace that formerly done by the Chinese\ngave Nanaimo an unprecedented hoist.\nWhite labor is sufficiently cheap, and\nplenty of men and boys are willing to do\nthe work originally done by the Chinese.\nand there is no visible reason why Chinese should be employed in the placa of\notfr white brethren. It is a well know\nfact that Chinamea are not a source of\nrevenue to the trades people and consequently one would expect the latter to\nassist the workingmen in any endeavors\nthey may make to exclude the Mongolians.\nSmoke The News the liest \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 f>. cent\nCigar in town. Only 5 cents at Geo.\nOavalsky'i. *\n[From our Special Correspondent.]\nTexada, Headquarters of Courier,\nSurprise Lode. April i8, '89.\nMy last, hearing date of the 14th inst.\nwas necessarily brought to a sudden\nclose by the unexxected shriek ot the Rustlers' whistle, and as my mail must go ou\nher, finished or otherwise,\u00E2\u0080\u0094if I would\nhavo it reach Nanaimo in time for publication\u00E2\u0080\u0094I hurriedly collect together tho\nscattered sheets of manuscript that lie on\nthe ground about me, and hasten down\nthe rough trail, at break-neck speed to\nMiller's camp, a half mile distant, where\nthe steamer usually makes her landing,\nI arrived just in time to witness the first\nboat load of passengers make their landing, for as there is no wharf here, the\nsteamer has to convey her freight and\npassengers to the shore bv means of a\nsmall boat. Thc new arrivals represent\nall classes. There was, lirst and paramount, the Capitalist, then following in\ntheir regular order or classification, came\nthe Mining Expert, the Mining Engineer and Assayer and last but not least\nthe hardy Prospector who invariably\ndoes all the work and usually gets left\nwhen it comes to handing around tlio\n\"pie.\" The names of these representative persons were II. E. McKee, of Vancouver, B. C, representing the Texada\nMining Company, of Vancouver; W.\nL. Fagan, Provincial Tax Collector; Dr.\nW. Bredemeyer, also of Vancouver, Assayer and Mineralogist; S. R. McGowan,\nMining Expert of San Francisco, late of\nAlaska, two prospectors, Richards and\nanother whose name I did not ascertain\nand A. Roper, our fellow townsman who\nhas large interests here\u00E2\u0080\u0094being part on ner\nof the now famous Surprise Ledge, over\nwhich there is now so much dispute as\nto tge ownership. On the return of the\nboat to the steamer\u00E2\u0080\u0094which was about\n100 yards distant, 1 took advantage of the\nopportunity and went on board where I\nmet the genial skipper, Cant. Le Blanc\nfrom whom 1 gut a copy ol The Coniiicit,\nwhich is much Bought after hereabouts\nfor general news, and after a pleasant\nchat\u00E2\u0080\u0094tbe boat in the meantime being\nfreighted\u00E2\u0080\u0094wc pulled for tho shore, and\nbade adieu to the Rustler, the captain and\nthe jolly crew. On shore all was activity\ncacli one collecting together his belongings. It would be useless for\nme to attempt 11 description of\nthe many things strewn along the beach,\nsuffice to say, there wero eatables of all\nkinds, and as for tools everything was to\nbe found from a needle to an anchor, and\nwhen I scrutinized some of the heavy\ntools I sympathized with the poor fellows\nwho must soon shoulder them and commence the ascent of the mountain. On\nmy return trip to camp, 1 fell to ruminating, and could not help thinking of the\nsad experienco of many prospectors, who\nalter weeks and months\u00E2\u0080\u0094aye, and in\nsome instances years\u00E2\u0080\u0094of toil, hardship,\nand privations in tlie search for gold,\nwhoso efforts were about to he crowned\nand their hopes realized by its discovery,\nbut who too otton fell victims to the\nclutches of the omnivorous capitalist,\nfrom whoso grasp they never were frood\nuntil tho rich reward of their unceasing\nefforts had been wrested from them. I\ntrust tbat tho old story may never repeat\nitself here on Texada Island, and that the\nhonest and hardy prospector may reap\nthe harvest of his well earned toil. The\nforegoing is not penned to discourage or\nprevent capital from seeking investment\nhere\u00E2\u0080\u0094and it will come, have no fear on\nthat score\u00E2\u0080\u0094but it is written to put the\nworkingman on his guard, whose friend\nI am and ever shall be, and as I am now\nthoroughly convinced of the assurred\nrichness of the mineral deposits of this\nisland\u00E2\u0080\u0094 for seeing is believing\u00E2\u0080\u0094I am desirous that the deserving shall not bo deprived of that which is his due. In my\nprevious lettera I have described the\nsalient features of all claims that I have\nvisited and shall now continue by Speaking of the Blue Bell Company's claims\nand in connection herewith I will give\nthe reader to understand that I havo personally examined each claim of which I\nwrite, taking my notes from the ledges as\nI came across them. Tlio first then is tho\nBlue Boll\" This claim is running south\nand fs really an extension ef the \"Welsh\nOak\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094the property of the Invincible Co.\nThero has been no work done upon it as\nyet, though it was one of the earliest\nclaims staked off. From surface indications it displays a good looking ledgo\nwhich can be traced for 11 long distance.\nWe next came to the \"George Denning\"\nwhich is an extension on the south of tho\nBlue Bell, this claim like the above has\nno work done upon it, but has\na good lode upon it easily traced for somo\ndistance. We are now on the Roving\nClan, which is next to and west of the\nDenning, running paralled with it, There\nhas been no work done upon it worthy ol\nthe prospector's immediate attention.\nNext conies thc Grade, which has n g\"\"d\nlooking ledge upon it, fully exposed to\nview below the surface. A tunnel lias\nbeen run into the hillside looking Smith,\nwhich shows the lode to be 8 feel in\nwidth, with good indications uf widening\nas the work proceeds; the rock is of a\ngreyish color, showing pyrites of iron\nand copper with a streak or white quartz\nfollowing on ils side. This ledge has all\nthe appearance of carrying much silver,\nand is a fine looking prospect.\nOn my way down to the next claim, 1\nsaw the posts of the Ontario lode, which\nbelongs to a Victoria company. This\nclaim has a very good looking ledgo upon\nit. Also came across the El Padre claim,\nlocated by Paul Santiny, which runs\nSoutheast and Northwest. This property\nruns along thc side of a steep bill, and\nhas several small ledges crossing it. It is\nprobably the private property of the locator. There has been no work done upon\nit.\nThe next claim, belonging to the Blue\nBell Company, was the Peg Top, which\nshould havo been named the Tip Top,\nfor it has a fine looking ledge upon it,\nwhich can be traced for some, distance,\nand which would not long remain hidden\nfrom view, if it was my property. It\nbeing about lunch time, ami finding ourselves in the neighborhood of Kirk's\ncabin, wo strolled over in that direction\nto seo what we could find to eat, and on\nour way over passed the celebrated Nut\nCracker claim, owned by Messrs. Evans\nand James. The outcrop, showing the\nfrold, was covered up, so wc did not mo-\nest it; the rock all about, however, was\nnoticeable as being auriferous. On arriving at the cabin we were given a cordial\nwelcome, and soon were discussing the\nlatest mining news over a well cooked\nmeal of bacon and beans, with bread and\nchocolate. Our host, Mr. Hugh Kirk,\nwas the first to discover the Nut Cracker\nclaim, but through some means allowed\nit to slip from hiB grasp into the hands of\nhis late partner, Mr. Degnan, who sold it\nto the present owners for the\nMERE PITTANCE\nof $1500. *\nAfter lunch, we took leave of our hospitable host, and next paid our respects\nto the Swamp Angel. There is no work\ndone upon this claim, though it has a\ngood looking lode running throughout its\nlength and several crossing it at right\nangles.\nNext came tbe Jessie, which had some\nwork done upon it, and which is looking\nwell, and has a good lode upon it, though\nI should say that the rock is of a low\ngrade, but what does that signify, if there\nbe lots of it? and to all appearances this\nis the case.\nThe Bear's Nest, on Douglas Island,\nAlaska, which was sold last summer to\nan English syndicate, for $2,000,000, only\naverages $li per ton ; and if the Jessie can\nonly hold its own, and 1 think it can, it\nis reasonable to believe this lode will yet\ndime to the front.\nThe Flora Hays claim was the next\npresented to our view. This little claim\nis destined to be one of the richest properties owned by the Blue Boll Company,\nalthough the smallest, and is a fractional\nparcel bounded on three sides by the\nJessie, Gladstone and Yellow Jacket, and\nwas probably located on account of its\nsupposed richness, the close proximity of\nthe celebrated Nut Cracker ledge, possibly suggesting to the locator the advisability of staking it off. The surface indications are similar to those ofthe Nut\nCracker, upon which so much gold has\nbeen found. If I were the fortunate\nlocator of this claim,! should at once\nsink a shaft, in the expectation of bringing to light some of thc precious metals\nwhich are undoubtedly stored beneath\nthe surface. In Ibis claim alone, 1 consider the Blue Bell Company the possessors nf a genuine bonanza.\nThe Lizzie was the next seen. It is\nfull of cross ledges, and is sure to he a\npaying claim if properly worked.\ni saw one prospect hole which looks\nwell, and a further prospecting will un-\ndoubedly give better results.\nThe Nancy was the last of the Company's claims I visited. It is a daisy, and\nis carrying\nMICH S1LVEB\nand I would not be afraid to venture a\nsmall amount that the outcrop would assay from fifteen to twenty dollars to the\ntoil. There is one hole sunk on the\nmountain side to a depth of 16 feet which\nshows the lode to be .\", feet in width, the\nledgo is running N. E. and S. W., though\na little to the North. The lode is begining\nto expand in width. The Nancy is a fine\nclaim and the company are very fortunate\nin being the possessors of such n tine\nlooking prospect. In my travels I also\nran across several flood looking claims,\nprominent among which were the Jones'\nlode, belonging to the Lady of the Lake\nCompany, Victoria, the Yellow Jacket\nwhich has had considerable work done\nupon it, the Little Gem and tho Northern\nSpy, which latter is very rich in copper,\nand also carries considerable silver. In\nfact the whole island shows itself to be\nvery rich in minerals and ere long must\nundoubtedly prove to the most skeptical\nof mankind that the riches yet undeveloped within her borders are second\nonlv to the celebrated Comstock Lode\nwhich in a few years made so many\nmillionaires in the United States west.\nW.
