A gang of men wore al work in No. 2 pit and a warning had been given aa usual when signaofaslido appeared. Bmldcu, with tbe other workmen left Hie dangerous locality aud was un comparatively safe ground, whon just as the mass of enrlli aud --ravei Iwo or three hundred feet high, gave way(#he turned, aud, ns his companions afterward described his ceiions, wuikod deliberately, and without, any apparent hurry directly toward where the caving mass would fall, He, was buried many feet deep ond an etforl lo dig blui out was at once made, but. it. soo-a became apparent that bo could nol by the glow process of hand digging bo gotten out alive. At lasl accounts a giant was being sot up to wash down the gravel, Ihat being much lhe quicker way ol exhuming tlie body. This is tlm second accident in lhe "Cariboo", the other happening in pit No. 1, in which five men wero serimmly licit, but no lives lost. In cash case, all connected agree that plenty of time was given for all loget safely away from danger. The management do not wish the mine 'a galu a reputation as a man killer, and hayo kept a lookout on watch during a!l tho time the men were at, work, and us stated in another place in litis paper, piping has boon prosecuted only in daylight oh account ol the clangor from the haults caving in tbe night, the face being BOO feet high and darkness preventing the work- men from seeing lhe caves whim thoy started. Tho recent cave occasioned much damage, and some time will be necdasary to replace iho broken and damaged sluice boxes and pipe.

Campbell cam« up rem --.an Francisco last Wednesday, nud topped over one day in' "t'relta.' He is on his way to the Cariboo --old mining' region in Bitlitm Columbia, where ho is going under engagement of San Francisco capUatiBla lo cxamino lhe famous Horse Fly gold mineri nn tho Horse Fly river, said to be one of iho richest gravel deposils on the coast, with a view of putting in ono ol his Improved hydraulic-elevator plants. Mr. Campbell is no doubt one ol tbo mnf-i u-fpfiricncu-; hydraulic minors in thisstalc, haying been brought up from boyhood in Nevada eounly, where hydraulic mining was drat inaugurated i After ten year's expvricnce iu that county, he was oxlensivtfly engaged in yiiasla comity mining sections, when in 1380 he came lo Siskiyou county, where hn bo- c-ame inlcreslcd iu hydraulic mining nl Qinirll* Valloy where be operated the liy- driinllc elevair.r wllb unequalled success fur soma six or seven years, night and day ing electric lights, We do nol believo there is another mau In thestale or California who has had aa much practical experience with iho hydraulic gravel elevator as Mr. Campbell. Being thoroughly practical himself, and lull ol'euercy aud push, he spared neither lliiionbr money in perfecting ihe hydrau- . elevator so lliat tho greatest results ght be obtained. We bad the pleasure visitiug liia mine at Quarlz Valley when in operaliou, and can speak ftom personal knowledge ol what he accomplished llioro. [to presented us wilh a photo of his now mid improved elevator, which can be s.cu at liiis ofilce. II seems to bo perfect in every respect,'and will imei-e.t mining in en. We congratulate the parlie:, interested in the Horsefly mine in securing the services of Mr. Campbell, nud eau assure lliem that their undertaking will 'bo crowned with success, if he is placed in charge. Mr. Campbell informs tia that Ciilifuruia Is now entering upon ono ol lhe most pra-nerous* gold mining eras ever experienced since the '50 period, and snys (here is more capiiul seeking Investment in gold mines now than ever before in the history of thc slate. Any gold properly that has merit eau cMbcr ba sold for cssEi or secure money lo operate il on le- gitimale lines. Tbis is evidenced by tlio renewed activity in raining in this county and the stale is experiencing a siniiini* genuine mining Ijcom. Referring to tlie Horsefly gold mines in liie Cariboo mining country or British Columbia, it reminds us of the William's creek mines in ihat district, which In '02 created such a wild excitement aud a great rush. This creek alone produced over twenty millions of cold in a very short time. As high as ?o00 to lhe pan was not an uncommon thing. The Horsefly mine is perhaps not ni rich as the Williams creek mine, but is said to Lo very rich. All work in that mine herein fore has been performed iu the most primitive manner, mostly by rockers, tho gravel yielding ?10 tu §15 per cubic yard. From oue pit about 300 feet square and 30 feel deep, worked years ago before it became involved in lltiga'.inn, -$500,000 was taken out. Fifty dollars was an ordinary day's work for one man with a rricker, and often $100 and upward has been taken out by one uinu in a single day by the same procee., Tholillgallou extending over a period of years has finally been terminated and thc property is now O'Viidit by San Fran. cisco capitalists, who hold it under lease Irom theil. C. Uovcromcnt, hud intend bringing in a large water supply at heavy expeuae, requiring a line oi 30-iiicb pipe two miles, iu length nml some four or five miles of ditch; This, with an "up to dale" plant for washing the gravel will no doubt produce somo wonderful results. This mine is ranched from Ashcroft, a point ou the Canadian Facillc railway, over a-mft- cadami/.ed wagon road *_'Jl) miles in length built by the 1J. O. Government nlacost of over a million dolInrs.—Exumiu.. Penalor Campbell, accompanied by Mr, Ward and hia son reached Aslieroft on lhe 19th and the parly left ucxt morning for Iho Horse Fly mines via the 160 Mile House. To tho Jourtsal Mr. Want said that ihe balance ofthe company's pipe was cut, rolled and on its wny.lhat it would nil bo taken in lothe mines as soon ns possible, and that he expected eight men Irom the coast, as soon m the pipe was delivered, to rivet, the same. Il will take eight men about three months to do the work. The.dilclt ia well along aud lhe company hope lo havo tho claim in working order during May, of next yen;;. It Is fortunate thai a man of tlio ability am! experience of Mr. Campbell has boon secured to put in iho elevator, as it would seem Ihat thero can bo no doubt ofthe successful, operation if properly put In. Tho company, Mr. Ward stated, had plenty of funds to open up Ihe ground and every ono familiar with Hint regloti knows well thnt the gold is thorc aud llio faith er the mining men in general, is him thai the Horsefly camp will ben wonderful producer.

It is iafe to assert that those prints know little of nny minin-r property; but they havo gotten iu the first blow in their attack on B. C. industries and it may be they can induce some timid capitalist not to invest. Lot us hope nut, but it is now in order for the Province and Saturday Review to attack our cattle, fruit, fishing and coal interests. It is our duty to warn peoplo and we call upon our powerful metropoli tan brethren to hack us up. Tho great wave of European capital has nt hist reached British Columbia and tho clang of ils coin on our shores is ringing loudly. As we have often pointed out, there is ample opportunity for genuine investment, but unfortunately thoro is ample opportunity for swindling. If tho public will only be guided by men whose names nro a household word for integrity aud righteousness they cannot come to much grief, but if thev listen to a man who comes from an unknown place and has no recommendations whatever, they are liable to lose their money. Quartz uud ore mining have been redueed practically to regular business lines in which there is little risk aud the element ol speculation is id most eliminated for men who understand tbeir bu_in_ss. With their guidance investments in this class of mining property may be fearlessly mado.

Ii is with amazement that tho Min er's inconsistent conclusions as to the value of hydraulic mining are read. If thero is any one clans of mining that can be reduced to an ah-olute certainly it IS where, by tunnels, shafts, and drifts, a bunk •-' gravel -in bo accurately measured, and where every yard of dirt removed can be readily tested. The Miner must bo actuated by either ignorance or pn-jiidioo to dnuv the above inconsistent conclusions between quartz and hydraulic mining. Mr. Lawrence Kip showed himsolf to bo n careful student and thinker by the lecture on "The Hawaiian Islands, their lions, lepers and laborers," which Iih delivered last night in the V. M, I. hall on Richards street. The lirst part of tho lecture m which he treated of the "lions,11 had reference to the gradual posses- sum of Hawaii by the English anil Americans, who were crowding the natives from their rightful possessions and doing all they could to get rid of ihem, Tho lecturer nojit treated of tho lepers and {rive a graphic description of the misery and degradation that had come from the. introduction of the dread disease with the intrrduction of tho Chinese.

Beautiful IF Ud Ti 'est Sports. Under the above bending the Ashcroft correspondent to the daily Columbian of Oct. 18, says concerning ihe Dog Creek races which took place Oct. nth: "The races went off vory quietly until Oct. 12th when Hoy ward of Vancouver and Lee of Calgary ran a match race of 200 yards, for a $500 purse, $250 a side. Some unknown oowbov fired two shots at Hoyward, but it is thought he is not badly hurt. One ball bulged in Ins shoulder. The man esnapod. Hevward is doing well. Hoyward won the race by two yards." Every one at lhe races knows the above is a base fabrication. The News-Advertiser also published the story verbatim. What is the use. of publishing such "lurid" stuff aboul a peaceable Ciminiuiiily.

It is an acknowledged lact that Hies, springs will make hair (-row on habl heads. ilm we must endeavor lo go along uearly as fl'-'-Tftly ns the "iron horse" due.., and so must nut linger here uny longer, Wlinl a slrange feeling comes over one as upon rounding the bend wc cmue in sight of poor old Yale. This is ti beautiful little village aurrounded by large mountains. During the construction of lhe railway ii wns lioadquarlers ofthe railwayoflioiule nud also head of navigation un the Fraser. A great deal of mining was done here and from Ibis small town daily pack trains anil heavily loaded fruiglit wagons left lor Cariboo, then as It is now the center ol mining. Looking down from the car windows makes one shudder to seo the surging waters of llic mighty Fraser river nnd to think that on these same bauks, not more thnu twenty years ago, ■numbers of hardy miners were dashed over tho rocks by the •strength of the waters rushing upon (he rocks. After leaving Yale it commences to get dark nnd as short tunnels are frequent the tourist is hardly able to sec any more of thc wild though very beautiful scenery. Now aud theu a bright camp fire marks the habitation of some Indian or lonely working man, The next slntion of any real importance is North Bend, 11 being a divisional point. Here tlie company's holel in a lovely building surrounded by beautiful green lawns ornamented wilh Ibutiinins und a profusion of flowers of rare beauty. The dinners here are so elaborately cooked and served that rcullv half au hour Is nut sulllelcnl to do justice lo such a meal. A few hours after leaving tliu Rend, Lytlou is reached. The Frasor nnd Thompson rivers meet her, aud considerable mining is being (.lone in this ucit-Jiboihuod. Iu early day Lytton was the bUflinops center of lhe in- tei ior. A little pnst midnight wc arrived at our desliunlion, for tlie time being, Asbcroft. Aslicrofl is n very nice Utile town situated on tho bunk of thc beautiful Thompson river, which is crossed by a bridge. This bridge is iu grual demand both by fool passcugera ami teams, Ii Is rattier dusty but still ihe inhabitants nro not plagued wry much wiih rain which would be very acceptable nl limes during the long hoi suiumci'i. It is the distributing poiul for lhe great Cari- boo country, Irom which millions if dollura in gold hnyebetcu Inken out during the iiisl thirty years. Almost daily mule •mil horse teams and sometimes oxttnni3 leave or arrive nt Ashcroft willi or fi r 3torcs I'or lhe miners in the dliTerout mining distiids. In former limes It wns n,uilo nu undertaking to ride or drive on ihoOaribob road on account of tlm bad co-.dilion in which it was but now— why it is as easy us riding a hieylcc uloug Seymour sired. Leaving Ashcroft one fine morning we drove nearly fifty miles on jlluEC same, roads. ' Soon nftcr ciMSning ti c bridge wo come lo a long hill which is very trying on ihe horses. Shortly after we conic to Iho clilis from which one can look down to almost an immeasurable dls- tuiice inlo Iho waters ol lhe JJonaparte, We cannot p.i*s along without some umro mention ul this beautiful slreum. For over twenty miles It follows up ihe Caiihoo road ami besides being very plclur- esrpie as il winds 111 and out among tile uu.shes His very good for Hulling.

Turuintf several curves of the road Mini hnl's house comes in view. A short (lis- lance and a hill, familiarly known as Mundorf's Hill leads up to tho lovely farm of Mr. Dougherty, llirough whose hind runs llu; beautiful little stream called Maiden's creel;. This place looked especially pretty at lliis lime on account nl the loads of fruit on lhe trees and the heap- of iipo raspberries, currants, and other small fruits. The lucky possessors of ih'u- henutiful place are lo be congratulated upon tho neat manner in which it is kepi and also fur tlteil hospitality. After dining and walking around looking al the different parts of ihe ranch, and as we were quiie a distance from Ashcrolt we thought it would bo well Io be wending our way Ihliher. What a beautllul sight it was lo see the moon rising over lhe mountaiu tops and thc slurs shining so brightly. It cannot b. described, only IniHgiucd. Leaving Ashcroft Iho next night we weut on to Kamloops, which ia quite a city and .sireiclics itself oul to quit*-a leuglti along the Thompson river an.l Kiimloops lake.

We sojourned iu Kamloops for n week and thoroughly enjoyed our visit ihero. ■ Ou lhe homeward trip wc stayed off for a lew days iu Yale, but ou account ofthe rain were not able to go and look at lhe old ruins.

A plant has been Iu operation in Denver lor the past year for the purpojo of icf-ling the I'elalan-Clerici process of extracting gold and silver in ils application to the ores in lliis country. This process is lhe invention of Messrs Louis Pelatan and Fabrlzlo Clcrid, and is the property ofthe General Gold Extracting Oompauy, Limited, of London, England, u corporation with a capital stcca of ^10,00.. Thc ex peri men lul plain in Dauver, which is localed at 16!";) Wynkonn street, is yory com- plele in all ils appointments, and is under lhe personal supervision of Mr. Clcrlcl. Another plant has been established al Milan, Italy, in which many Europonu and African ores hnvo been successfully treated, and lhe company is also making a trial uf the process in Russia, .ays llu Uenver Mining Industry, Tho operation la described as follows: The treatment by the Polntan t'lerlei process consists of a single operation which iscarned on in a vat or pan uf very simple description. This vut, In the centre nl which is a metallic stirrer, and which is composed at the bolloni of amalgamated copper plates, is filled with crushed ore or tailings or slimes. At thc Baino lime a diluted solution containing cyanide of potttPsUmi, common sail, and, if required, some olher accessory chemical is added, the proportion of each being calculated riccordlng to the quality uf the material treated. The stirrer is then set in motion so as to mix the ore with the solution, and to make a liquid sluge through which 1111 electric current generated from a dynamoad is allowed lo pass freely. Tho particles of precious metal nrc thus brought again and again inlo contact with qiianlltloa of cyanide much mofc than sulllcieiH to dlaBolVO Ihem entirely. Owing to lhe very elllcleul dissolving power of tho solution on the one hand, and 10 ihu action of the oloctrlo currouton the other hand, both 1I10 fine gold nud silver are readily dissolved ami alierwiird-j electro deposited on Iho amalgamated plates tu tho vat where Ihey can be recovered in the form or amalgam. Besides, by holding the pulp suspended in thu liquid solution, thc stirrer purmlts the coarser grains of gold lo sink gradually to the bollom nftho yat, where they nroamnlgamidod with the mercury covering the platoa. The sy.*le:n. as devised is, consequently, equally lilted to the recovery of lhe gold, whether in very mluulo parllclesor in much coarser grains. Hence a fur sin dim* quantity ofcyanidu can be employed than in any of ihe leeching processes known. Tin; operation, according to lhe quality nl'ihe ore treated, aud the size ol thu vat used, may vary from elghl lo tun hours. Allot*ovlonslvo toslsoflho IVlatan-Cler- ici process, iho Do Lamar Gold Miming Company, of De Lunar, Idaho, decided to orect 11 llfty.'on plain,mid lhe -same is now in progress of ouuslllictlon nud will be uumptuloil ns rapidly as possible.
