WITH THREE MAPS LONDON: CHAPMAN & HALL, ld. 1898 TO THE " TRAIL-BLAZERS," WHOM I MET ON MY TRAVELS, AND TO ALL WHO SMOOTHED MY PATHS HT BRITISH COLUMBIA, I DEDICATE THIS BOOK. PREFACE. I The reader must accept the following pages as a sketch ; : of the great work which might be written upon British I Columbia were more time allowed for it. While it would be impossible to compress the whole of so large a subject into a book for the information of emigrants, it is hoped that, by breadth of treatment, some idea may be conveyed in a handy compass of both the inducements and drawbacks offered to careers ■ in that Colony. I have to acknowledge the courtesy of Lord Strathcona I for permission to reproduce the Government agricultural map of British Columbia and Mr. Ogilvy's map of the Klondyke. I am indebted to the C.P.B. for furnishing me with their map of Canada, and for assisting me to reproduce the other maps. These notes are the result of travels undertaken I during the summer months of last year, and I have to thank the following gentlemen for the good advice, I assistance, and encouragement given me in what I found to be an arduous, in fact, an almost impossible, I task :—Colonel the Hon. James Baker, the Hon. I J. Turner, Sir William van Home and the officials :.of the C.P.B., Charles Hosmer, Esq., Major Dupont, the Bev. Dr. Bobertson, Messrs. Allan & Bros., the managers of the Bank of Montreal, and many friends, too numerous to be named, but whose kindness it is a : lasting pleasure to remember. THE AUTHOE. CONTENTS.
