A privato letter from Senator 11, H, Campbell conveys the information thut ou tho Miocene mino at Horsefly, rich gravel was struck at tho 100-foot level, but thoy hnvo not yot roacbod tlio bottom of tho channel. This is certainly ono of tho most aucientchan- nels over discovered in British Columbia. J. L. Hark ins, who camo direct from Horsolly, reached horo by Tuesday's stuge.

Tho last vestige of hopo for tho unfortunate prospectors who started up thu Knskokwim rivor on the unfortunate steamer Jessie und barge Mluorva was removed on the l;ttti, when a letter was received from Bethel, Alaska, telling of tho finding of tho steamer, bottom up, with tho machinery dropped out. The bodies ot Captaiu J. P, Murphy, of Bowling Green, Kentucky, and of missionary 1_. Webber wero also found ou tho beach, Tho bodies had been ribbed by tho natives, but enough was left in tho pockets to afford identification, Agent Lind of the Alaska Commercial Compauy is tho man who finally settles the question of tho Jessie's fate, which hitherto has been doubted ou account of tho story being told by Indians, The first news of disaster that reached Agent Lind was when the barge Minerva washed ashore right side up and heavily loaded. Ono of the Indian guides that had joined the party at Good News Bay came ashore on the barge. Ho reported tho wreck to Lind, claiming that all the others were drowned. Ho came over to tho coast from Bethel and found tbe hull of tho steamer on the beach, bottom sido up. The boilor and machinery had dropped out. The Indiaus had stripped tho wreck of everything of value. A little later the natives showed him two bodies that had been washed ashore. Tbey proved to be thoso of Captain Murphy, of Bowling Green, Ky., whose first command was tho unfortunate Jessie, and the Moravian missionary, Rev. Mr. Weber, whose wife and family were lost in the wreck. One of the Indians was wearing the missionary's watch. The bodies were buried on tho beach and the personal effects recovered will be sent to Seattle. Tho Indiaus have been sent to bury tho othor bodies that drifted ashore on tbe other aide of the buy. It is proba- uble that these are all thut will be recovered. Tbe men in chargo ot tbe Jessie were inexperienced, but it is doubtful if she could have stood the storm even bad shebeen in the hands of experienced men. Tho sea ruu very high, on the bur und doubtless engulfed her. The barge was cut loose before tho Jessie weut dowu aud drifted ashore all right. A uum'utSr of men on board were from Seattle.—Times. &lg Arctic Whale Catch. Tho spring catch ot the Arctic whaling fleet this year has been much better than usual, as if to make up for the hard treatment the fleet received last season. All of the vessels havo caught wbales this spring. For aeyeral yoors spring whaling In the Arotic has beon very poor. ' From one of the whaling captains wbo arrived on tho Bear tho following information about the whales and thoir catch was obtained: The Pacific Steam Whaling Company's vessels in Lady Franklin Bay, which wont in July n year ago, havo done very well. Roports havo notbeen received from their spring catch as the boats do not get out uutil late In July and had not reached any of the south ern stations up to the time the Bear loft, Tho Mary D. Hume was the only vessel of tho five that had no whales, Tho catch of tho others follows: Grampus, 1 whale; Norwal, 2; Bulega, 2; Baolenu, 5.

Mr. Hamilton was then makiug his last visit to Greenwood City in connection with the right of way, Ho is making final arrange in cuts with the owners of tho property. In Graud Forks he and Mr. Wilgross met the council aud issued tbeir ultimatum, which is practically Mr. Wilgress' first offer to tbo council. If tho railway is to go through lower Grand Forks it must bo on a trestlo, as it is impossible to loavo a steep bluff and run on a level with the lower towu. The station will bo on tbo bench midway between tho upper aud lowor towns. In Greenwood tho C.P.R. ollloials had no dilllculty.

Davis, Vancouver, threw up the position of chief justice because he would not go to Victoria to reside. Justice McColl was also very near refusing it because ho would not leave New Westminster, and now Archer Martin hesitutes about the puisne judgeship becauso he does not want to go to New Westminster. This is the first timo that tho Dominion government has had such matters as these to contend with, It shows that British Columbia lawyers are doing a big business and are loathe to go on the bench. Suoh Is not tho caso on this side of the Rockies. American Creek (laid. The Cottage City, arriving on tho Hth, brings most favorablo reports from American Creek, ono of the bost gold streams on tbe American side of the line. The best part of It is that the news goes into detail as regards ti number of claims. This i*. a very satis- faotory relief from the general terms regarding a district to tho effect that the claims are good and that tbe yield Is above the average, Frank Carroll is tbo man wbo brings oat tho latest information from Amer ican Creok. Ho brought it as far as Dawson, arriving thero shortly before the Cottage Clty'3 Klondikars loft. He has been engaged in developing No. above discovery for himself nud tbo firm of Finsmore, Spencer & McFee, The principal work douo has beon the uncovering of a strip of ground 800feot long and 20 feet wide. Tho gravel has boen taken off to bedrock and tho golden sand is ready for shoveling. Carroll says tbat it will avorago 8100 to the shovel. Ho ouly hud to go through six feet of muck to roach bedrock.

Two claims are boiug opetied up on Discovery Fork which yield on uu average 872 to tho shovel. Joo Cooper is another man who Is rapidly gelling rich from the gold taken out of two claims.

The London morning papers comment upon tho proposed immense increase in tbo American navy. Tho Standard says: "Such a fleet operating from Manila as a base would bo ublo to exercise considerable iullu once upou tho progress of events in Chinese waters, nnd added to the English China squadron and the Japanese navy, would make a mighty armament indeed.'' Tho Daily Mail says: "The new programme Is startling iu its immensity. Tho American navy jumps to fourth placo among tho world's fleets. It will not loug remain fourth uor will It be long beforo they have a policy iu China." Capital Interested. Mr,%Wm. Thompson, M. K., of London, who is in tlio city, bos been spending a few duys lookiug over the Mount Sicker mines and also a property at Goldstream. Ho was not prepared yes- terduy to give uu extended interview on tho impressions he had gained but said that from what he had seen Van couver Island had groat possibilities abend as a mining country. Before coming to Victoria Hr. Thompson visited tbo Slough creek miuo in Curiboo, recently acquired by a London syndicate and be made arrangements for working tbe property. "It is tbo intention of the company.'' he said, "to get to the bottom of it."- Colonist. A Fortunate flarlner. Captain Edwin Bright, oue of the oldest uavigutors ou tbis coast, re turned from the Interior of tbe northern gold fields by the Cottage City last night, aud is today holding quite a levee at the Victoria hotel. The captain was formerly master of tho ill-fated Eliza Anderson, and has beeu engaged iu many shipping enter pris *i on tho Sound and in British Columbia, but has now temporarily abaudoned tiis seafaring life for that of a miner for the precious yellow metal. And as a miner Captain Brigbt bas boen as successful as be was a mar iner. Ho visits Victoria for the purpose of purchasing a large supply of provisions and material and in conversation with the times said that he found Victoria to be the best point at which to obtain goods for the northern fields. His purchases will include alarge quantity of material for the construction of a steamor which he will build to oper ate on Luko Tagish, to afford communication with the new mining district, which the captain says is the biggest thing that has over boen known. In proof of his assertion tbat'the diggings near Lako Tagish aro beyond dispute rich, ho displays u large quantity of gold and nuggets brought from there, and he has deposited with one of the prominent financial institutions in the city u sum In tbe neighborhood of fc85t- (XX), the proceeds of this year's sojourn iu tbe interior. The captain showed the reporter a glass bottlo continuing gold valued at J5.40, tho result of the washing of one pau of gravel taken out of the new diggings, about which be will have some thing moro definite to say in a day or two. In thc meantime Captain Bright desires to impress upou the renders of tlio Times three things: First, that Victoria lias every right to plume herself upon being the only pluce from which to start aud at which to outfit for the mines: second, that tho Yukon excitement will bo put in tho shade by by tho publication in detail or the truth of the richness of the new diggings, aud lastly, that he will bo glad to see all his friends at tho Victoria hotel aud to tell them of the finds he knows of and tbo opportunities in the El Dorado from which he has just returned. -Times.

Mining Review, Tbo chemical principle involved is Lbe solubility of gnld and of most gold compounds iu dilute solutions of po tnssium or sodium cyanide. Aftor Hie gold is obtained in solution, it is pre* clpitated therefrom by uny oompetotil chemical reagent, Tho solution of tho gold is kuown to take place slowly, and therefore a necessary condition is that the gold shall bo finely disseminated through the ore, Lhe finer tho bettor: iu fact, small lumps or nuggets are practically uuattaokod. Sucli "nuggety" oro is besL trotted by other processes. It is however, necessary that tiie gold slionld be native gold: gold sulphide and most oilier gold compounds are also 'attacked and dissolved, with the exception of thut class of ores known us "tellurides," in Which tellurium nnd selenium occur, combined wilh gold uud silver. Tbo lutter compounds art attacked slowly, and under somo conditions not at all: a preliminary gentle roasting is In ull sucli cases advisable, lt is necessary that Lho ore be oltbor finely divided, to enable the solution to get at tho gold,.or else that il bo of a porous, spongy texture, In the days of tbe inception of Lhe cyanide process il was wittily observed Llmt '*lt was oo trouble to get gold oul ofthe ore, but Hie dilllculty was Lo get it oul of tho solution." Tliis epitomises the chief dilllculty of lhe process, Thc first to propose using cya nide solutions on ores, specified in the usual blase manner of the professional inventor, that "the solution muy be evaporated to dryness and tho residue fused in u crucible to metallic gold." This Bounds like Llio nemo of simplicity; but. uufortu.mi.oly, with the dilute solutions, which aro uloue feasible in praoLico, tho cost of evaporation wonld be greater thau Lhe value of tbe gold contained in tbom. Again, auother inventor speoillos: 'The gold is precipitated by strips of metallic zinc whilo cxperlouce shows that strips of zinc uloue will not precipitate a particle of the precious metal. The ordinary gold worker is confounded, aud even the chemist is nonplussed, by the obstinacy with which gold refuses Lo precipitate from Llieso solutions. We musl, iu order to get rid of tho gold,literally dispossess the potassium, providing it with some other negative radical, andthouspllt up Lbe gold cyanide. Some of tlie strongest reducing agents can effect lhis. Charcoal, if used in quantity und given time enough, can do it, Sodium or potassium (used us amalgams) magnesium, aluminum, and zinc c-n effect it. tho hitler only whon In shreds so as to offer a large clean surface and wilh many jugged points from whicli gas can be liberated. The use of zinc turnings wus patented by MncArthur aud Forrest, but tbey afterwards abandoned their claim lo it asa-validinvention in the legal contest to exact royalties in Lhe Transvaal.

B, tho North Thompson Brickyard, of Kamloops, came down ou Wednesday to Asbcroft. He brought down three carloads of brick which will be used in tho construction of tho new building for Harvey, Bailey & Co. between their present premises und tho Ashcroft Hotol. Mr. Gill commenced work yesterday morning. Messrs, Johustou -_ (jill manufacture somo of tho best brick made in the province, and as they have several hundred carloads on hand they can llll auy orders without loss of time. A report reaches us from such a quarter that we feel inclined to attach some weight to it. to tho effect Lliat tho intention of tho Dominion government is to roaoh the Yukon with a railway that will pass through Omenica aud follow tho gold bolt northward. It is nlso said that there will bo a branch from suoh a liue to somo point on tlio British Columhia sea coast. Our read ers will remember tbat both Sir Wilfrid Laurior and Mr. Blair, during tho lust days of tho late session, spoke of a line from Edmonton to the coast, with a brauch to the Yukon. Colonist. A local statistician hns beou working ou the 07 carloads of beer which were shipped to Manila lost woek with the result that it is not adangerousiiuautity in his estimation. Thero are 0 dozen and it bottles to tbe barrel, aud -DO barrels to the car, malting a totul of 1,005,000 bottles. Thero are 20,000 American soldiers in tbo Philippines, and, allowing thom 3 bottles each per day, the t!7 cars would last but 10 days aud 18 hours. Or, if ou tho 17 th day ;t bottles should bo given out as far us tbey would go, 5,000 of tbe soldiers would remain dry. Nn provision is made for the natives. Green, of Vancouver, in the Presbyterian ohuroh, last night, waa a success in many ways. The points in favor of prohibition of the liquor tralllc were well put and well sustained. We understand Lho now building to be erected by Harvey, Bailey it Co, will bo a two storey, uud possibly u three- storey, brlok block. Tho ground floor will bo used as stores, throe in number, and tho upper storey is to bo u ball. Tho details are not complete us yet, This will ho the lirst brick block Lo* bo builL here, and it is to bo hoped moro will follow. Tlie purty soul out by tho United States government to seok out a deep channel across tho bur ut the mouth of tlio Yukon, bus returned without accomplishing its object, and its report will be to tlio effect that no such channel exists, but that a continuous bar extends across tlie wIioIimiiouUi of the river. This will have a material olEect in determining the futuro navigation of tho river, for us uo deep water channel exists, there Is no hopo of improving upon the conditions now existing. Colonist. Tho preliminary hearing of the charge of criminal libtl brought against J. T. l.ohinson, of tlio Standard, by W. J. Thompson, took place in the provincial court Friday morning before Mayor Gordon and H, O, M. Ridley, J.P. D. Murphy, of Ashcroft, appeared for plaintiff, and F, J. Fulton for defendant. After the examination of two witnesses Lhe accused wus committed for trial.
