An old-timer who is about to go into' Big Bond gives us his experience of the \"eikl days\" in Cariboo. He wits one of the pioneers who went to Cariboo at the time'of the great boom in 1861'. \"I believe,\" said he, \"that tho farther north one goes the better the mines will be\"'found,and I think the Cariboo country will soon' come to the front again as a great producer of the precious nietals., Tliat was a wonderful rich country in the the early days.

In consequence, mines which would not pay one or two ounces aday were abandoned. The little ranches scattered along the valleys, which perhaps paid their owners nearly as large profits as did the mines, one by one were deserted as the vast tide of prospectors, traders, speculators and gamblers, which flowed in during the Eraser river excitement, gradually subsided. Afterwards a great trunk road was built and still later, when the Canadian Pacific was completed, the cost of- supplies was reduced, when the comparatively poorer properties were worked, and the Chinese'are now making money up there on the old abandoned' placers. There havo been ono or two excitements started about rich quartz discoveries, but the cost rof working them has prevented their development. In the early elays there vvas no prospecting done for silver, and there is no' reason 'why rich' ores of that metal should not be found there also. , , CORRESPONDENCE. 4* . \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD !* The following story i.s related to a .

Picking it up to remove it he was struck with its remarkable' weight, and decided to keep it till morning (it being then \"quite dark)* and take a look at it in daylight. What was1 our surprise next morning when my' partner after an examination of the supposed rock, pronounced it gold! We were wild. Vision of King Solomon's mines and the treasure of Monte Crista floated through our minds' and it was some moments before we came to our right senses.\" * \"Going to the spring where the nug- gut was found we saw enough to drive any sane man crazy, for tho bottom of the spring was simply one mass of gold nuggets varying from the size of a pea 'to that of-a man's fist. After taking out all tlie larger nuggets and caching them near by, we resolved to try and find the le'dgo. Tt proved no difficult matter, for, by following up a little draw which ran into and through this spring, we came to a low ridge which could be followeel as far as the eye could see. Every few stops up the draw to tho top of the ridge we found gold in the bed of what appeared to be it stream during the rainy season. \"On top of this ridge was the ledge. It appeared to be about 20 feet wide and vvas decomposed quartz literally hung together by threads of wire gold, with now and then a solid mass of the precious metal weighing from nor 10 to 100 pounds. Te) say that we were excited would bo putting it mildly; we were stupefied. Following the ridge for a number of miles the ledge appeared to be the same all along, everywhere along it being found the same evidence of its richness. t By this time it was getting lute'and wc went to camp, intending to return the next day and do some staking, preparatory to returning to civilization. \"That night a severe snowstorm set in, aud as it was already hite in the season we camo to the conclusion that the best thing to do would 1-e to leave for home and return in the spring.

Dep.uty Attoi'uey-Gcnoral A.G .Smith arrived here froni\" Victoria on Friday niorning and at 11 o'clock opened the court of inquiry in Petei-son's Hall. The hall was full to overflowing and standing room was hardly obtainable. The evidence was not taken on oath, the commissioner declining to administei- it to witnesses who desired to give their testimony on oath. After le&s than an hour's preliminaries the court adjemrrrcd to 1:30. On reassembling Mr. Geo. Marsh, who represented the signers of the first petition, wras the first to give evidence, lie saiel: J met Kirkup outside tho Victoria Motel last July, anei we fell into convo'-sntion about the mining districts, especially Big Bend. Kirkup said he1 had nothing to dei with it; it was a fraud ; that the mines there were no good, a nil there hnd not been one dollar taken out for ,every ten dollars put irrto it. . 1 contra-' dieted hiin, having' boon there a few days before. 1 - Lcild hiui of the; state the trail was in, anil saiel the Government ought to clear it out, and said 1 thought $11)00 or even $500 would make it passable. Kirkup saiel there; would not be one dollar spent on it. About it month later, I was sitting iu front of the Victoria Hotel with Mr-. O.I 1. Allen and one en- two others, when Kirkup came up and demanded onr poll-fa1*:. Mr. Allen and 1 both stood him oil', and I saiel 1 hoped our- both paying tho tax would bo tue means of raising Bevel- stoke to a big town. Kirkup aiibwor- eel: \"Marsh, if you are here in ten years' time, you' vvill see it just the same as it is now.\" That is the last conversation I ever had with him. Cross-examined by Mr. Kirkup : Vou told me- wrong things about Big Mend. There has been gold enough take n out ofBigMe-nelto build six trails. Von told me the1 mines were frauds, ospe-ci.-illy the Barrett mine. Have seen the Consolation Aline aud the Ophir Bedrock Flume. The gold recently, bi-oi-ght down from the former amounts to over $7000.' The* $500 spent on the trail last year was well spent. If you hael your way, there never woulel be one cent spent there. There has been enough gold brought out of the* Bend to make the trail bettoi-, and with the prospects ahead a be*tte*.i- road should be built. John Abraliaiiipon said he hael seien Kirkup ill-using (hunk people, and mentioned ciiocs. Could not fix the* dates, but it was within the ln**t seven 'years. Had seen Kirkup kick people and use a stick. Mentioned two e-.ises, one with regard losoine Kiiilande-rs, also a Cfise where a man named Ci-nin- bie was injured bybeing kicked in the1 back by Kirkup. Another'case- where* Mr. Keliie, M. P. P., inlei-1'ci\" <1 anei fold Kii-knp that was not the* l-ij^ht thing to elo. This was l.-ist.Tuly. Speaking of the grueling of l'Vc'iii, street in LS02, Air.

When I was grading id The heitel-keeper.s_pui/ their teams on and did the woi-fi\" free. Kirkup then '.agreed to gravel it, and did so out' of the balance be saiel he was keeping for improvements in the spring. In 1SU3, the citizens circulafeel a list for subscriptions to open up Douglas street in view of the promise of $250 from the Government. The citizens pi.it up about $\"'500, and after this; was spent on the street, the* (-ommitfeu risked Kirkup if ho would gei em with the work, using the $250 given us1 by the Government. He said it was no use-, opening up a btree-t where\" nobody lived. 1 Ie wanted to make a narrow, r-oaelwuy through the niidelle.1 eil'-lhe street, but the citizens objec'U'd. Then he started, opening up the cemetery road on l.huvot,her side of the railway.. The people protested against this.' Mr. S. O'r-owl was the foreman employed by the committee. Air. Kirkup remarked last February, directly'after a public meeting _on the. siibjoct of the; wagon roads to the Beg Blind and, Trout Lake, that'he woulel not be afraid to bet that neither of the roads woulel bo built next, summer, because the country didn't justify it. I have told Kirkup that if the peei- plediael the same opinion of the town and district as he,hael everybody would leave. Had heard Kirkup say he woulel not invest a cent in,, the town or the country. lie said last \" summer that he owned the building next to the Senate llot,el, and if he coulel sell it ho would never again invest a cent in the town.

' Wo--did kick about the .money being used (on the Cemetery road. The money for Douglas street ,was not enough to open it up to the railway track. Therefore we could not spare the money for the cemetery road. You did ask if we had permission to cross the railway. AVhen f said we had not'you said \"You had better got permission lirst.\" You told me you had telegraphed to Ah'. Alar- pole*. We did ask you to reserve $100 for the erection of a crossing over,the , railway. Very little of the Government money was spent on Douglas St. It was not the -wish of tho committer to handle' the Government- money. We only desireel you to have the same foreman. We did not expect that $500 woulel quite eipen up Douglas street. \"We' thought it was'no use having-a narrow road ^through the', centre.; When Mr. Northey' risked the Hon' Thco. Davie for Government help to do this,work, he told Air. Davie that the street was a disgrace to the,town and that if it was cleared and levelled jt would make a bettor entrance to the town. The estimates states there' are $11,000 for wagon 'roads for West Kootenay. ' * '*-, ' You did make the remark that the wagon roads would not be built this year-. Heard Kirkup say ho would not have Crowl for-foreinan, but -I 'don't know the reason why Samuel Crowl: Douglas street Kirkup came up and asked what I was grueling the street for. 1 said it was the people's wish. He said: \"Who arethe-people?\" Iloalso said: \"When T get the Government, money I'll make a road in the middle.\"' Last February I spoke to Kirkup about the wagon road from Thomson's Landing to Trout Lake. He said the road w.'is not needed. There vvas nothing there to induce the Government to build ii road. There was nothing' in tho'Lardcau to build a road for. Have seen Kirkup kick \"and hit drunk men with a stick within thelasteightyears. It has been such a frequent occurrence that I have not been\" able to keep track of them. r P. li.

Glenn vvas drunk and had only just 'come iu. Nobody, paid any attention to what he- was saying. Kirkup caiiK1 in auel spoke i,ei Glenn in a very sharp tone and Glenn answered hack, using bad language. Kirkup said he would arre-st liim and Gleuin again ansvveroel hack. Kirkup caught hold of Glenn anei hur-led him through the1 eloeir. Glenn woulel not walk, se> Kirkup i-alle-d on his brother, and the; twei eil them dragged him to the lockup. Air. Brown said he took down the* first petition for signatures and it was sent lo Victoria for the Gove'i-nirienl, to act upon. The object in acting quietly in regard to that petition was to favor Kirkup by allowing hiin to resign without any ill-feeling. Arr. Kirkup Iiiiel bi*i*n detrimental to the town for a long time past.

Wo have given .Mr. Kirkup'** evidence in full, .so as to give1 that gem- ' tie-man fair play, although some of Ins > friends have said to the contrary. Mr. * Haig said Air. Kirkup was not lhe si;r- ' vant eif the people, but tlie servant, of , (Coii'inde Ifitnu ]'<< as it i.s now'. Tlio'Governnioirt aulli- ori/.ed Kirkup to spend $2(10 (o extonel the road, but ho saiel it was not, necessary. ' ' ' Fred \"Ribbai'h said he came rip from eleiwn rivcrJa->l.].'iuu.-iryand in Ku-kup's oilice one day accidentally mcntioneel the fact that there was'a party at the head \"of the Like sollingjiiijuoi- without a liceijse. Kirkup saiel he-had heard of it, but could not get fact-, so as to erf? able him lo take slops in the mallei-. Told Kirkup ho would give him the names of the par-ties if he wished anil did give him five or six names. Witness said he had bought liquor there himself and know the whole business. Kirkup took no further action in the matter. A. 11. Ilolelich : Heard Kirkup make remarks about the mining' district on erne occasion. 1 asked him wh.it he' thought about mining here, and more particularly what he thought of Big Bond. He saiel ho thought that Big Bond was no good at all. No one else was present. Aiy experience has been quite-the reverse\" anei has proved ALr. Kirkup to be wrong in his estimate of Big Bond, because from a lot of assays l have m:uj,c there was not one1 which did not contain some gold. Alauy of these samples wero surface ' o.irth,- ,so thitt I did not expect to find gold. I think Big Bend is a good gold country. 1 have had a lot of assays considering the short season. \" II. N. Coursier said all his influences were centred in the welfare of tho town. The town depended .on'its mineral wealth. Had nothing against Kirkup' personally. As Government agent he* ought to assist the country-with all his power. H;, was a' young country and ought tb have the assistance ol and not the opposition of Government oflicials. In a milling country it. veiy often required $1(10 or- so to be spent before Jjil could be taken out. The Government ought to lay out an expenditure before thoy expected any .return--. Had heard Kirkup say it required $10 for every .$1 returned. Ct-os^-examiiied by Air. Kirkup: 1 leard you say so about a year ago out- siele the courthouse. I think Jerry Ne'.rgle -was pros'ml. Have not hoard you speak against lhe eouiiti-y before strangers. Have re'sideel here about five years. 'F.B, Wells: l s'gned the petition because f heard Kirkup had been running down the country. 1 think if the Government agent is not going to hold up tho couritiy the sooner we pack up and gv) the hi*rtei'.<* The court then aeljnur;ii*d until Saturday morning at niin1 o'clock when the first to resume the evidence vvas o ull iiros.

Kirkup wanted tb grade '10 foot roadw.iy through Douglas street anei then repair the* cemetery road,' which would have been better \"than an eighty foot road for- a few block's. p. Robinson saiel: 1 Jiave never seen Kirkup illuse a drunk man. I admire, the1 maimer in whiemhe spent the Government money orr the\" new bridge across the lllecillewaot. I have had conversations with hiin about the wagon roads and also about the development of the country, and ho has never saiel a bail word against either to me. I don't think a better man 'could he; found as a police- officer. By Air. Alarsh : Kirkup has always told me it is a, good country. He novel- lolel me he1 hael no faith in\"the cemn- ti-y. 1 have not much faith in the country. I am not so covetous as Some people, so as to wish all Government' mo- 111*5' lo be spent iibout 'tin1 station. Come, up and see the road to the mill, and you will see if Kirkup has elon'c anything for the mill. By Air. David : 1 have interests at Hall's Landing. Have timber limits on tho Columbia River below Re*velstoke. ' John Stone saiel : I was askeei to sign the first petition. I have seen Kirkup chase a man what we called a \"bummer.\" Have nut seen him use any brutality. I think ho has spent Government money perfectly right. Could not tell if ho over said any thing detrimental lo the town. \" ' ' By Air. Alarsh : Don't remember seeing Kirkup kick or'use his fists on a drunk man. Fred.

(Mnfornietl Kirkup of tho all'air, and from what lie said, I felt satisfied that I knew more about it than be did. After leaving Kirkup, the first, one; I met, was Air. Haskins, who made a statement which the Government Agent has denied on oath. Haskins told me that he was present when Airs. Bei'gan askeei, Kirkup to arrest he*r husband, and he would not do it. Haskins was a bit\" excited about that time. I also hael some facts aboutBee- gau's flourishing a revolver from Air. [jFel'orson. I tliink\" Kirkup is a most \"eiTleient constable, but about, the Government Agentship 1 do not express my opinion.' 1 have never hoard him run down the country in public, but 1 havo hearel people say lie has deiue so. ' W. Al. Brown, in answer lo. Air. Da- viel : L signed.the petition against Kirk-' up. [ heard Air. .Caldwell's evidence yesterday iu the Glenn all'air, and ,1 \"havo no doubt he is speaking the truth, ladid not know before now that Glenn had boon insolent to the 'constable in the street before coming into my barroom. As'it was,.! eeiuld not understand the constable's coining in directly after Glenn and speaking to him in that manlier, but 1 -can now. What annoyed me most was .that after, this happened, Kirkup came to me and'said he- would'report me to the Licensing Boardd'or allowing a drunk man to .use foul language on my premises.\" T. want, ,to s.iy, however-, that\"* m\v statement with regarel tei the constable-hurling Glenn through the door is perfectly' correct. It is not peissible that ho could have fallen through the door of his own accord when he was standing' leaning against tho pool table; 12 or 1-1 feet away. If it i.s the wish of Kirkup's friends to have all the potty things T> will let them haye it. If I had known the circumstance's of tho case the probability is that T would not have made any statement iibout 'the Glenn affair yesterday. 1 thought that the constable was taking a high barrel hy coming into my house and arresting a'man in such a \"hasty manner, without my being called on and not knowing what had occurred outside1. _C. 13.

With that 8300 wo\ncleared, grubbed and graded 825 feet\nof the street1 its full width, 80 feet.\nThe entire length of the street from\nKing street to'the railway track is 1500\nfeet. \"With the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD250 that Kirkup had\nat his disposal, he coulel have complete^], the balance, dob' feet, but. instead\nhe only graded pari ially 150 feet.\nDoes not this shew that wo had good\ngmunds for complaint? \"Mr. C B.\nILunic staled in his evidence \"I can\nsay tho little money spent on the cemetery road was woi I spent, and, that\nsiient on Douglas street was misspent.\"\nNow, Mr. 1 fume did not contribute a\ncent towards opening up the street^\nthough he owns property on it which\nlie acknowledges is m.l.eie more\nble. How can Mr-. Himie say.the money was ill-spent when he himself uses\nthe street continually ? As to the cemetery road,, it has been in use for more\nthan five years for hauling'nearly all\nthe cord wood burnt in the town, and\nwe see no reason-whv Douglas street\nmoney should havo been spent on that\nroad, as the town has no grant of hind\nfor cemetery pur-poses.\nD.
