I huvo been requested to make suggestions for a proposed revision of tho I'lncer Mining Act. I havo mado it n point to confer frith many practical mining mon of tho district and thc uuggeationa here given practically embody tlieir views and my own, 1 find'that there te a universal dif.sat.sf action in Cariboo with the Act as it stands. People consider that Plucer and quarts miners should be on un equality. To discriminate ho markedly against lho placer miner is unfair. Comparing tlie two Acts wc find that by tho Mineral Act a miner is allowed to locate and bold a mineral claim of about fifty acres for u term of five years by doing annual ossessment work amounting to ?100, ortheequlvaleutlncasli. Any excess of work over thc $100 goes to the credit of the noxt yeur. Ho can complete this $600 otussossment work in one year or in live years, or ho may pay in the Hum of $500. This with various fees, recording etc., entitles him to a Crown Grunt. The properly therefore becomes his own hy nn actual outlay eithoi- in work or in cash, of foOO. Tho plucer minor on the otber lmnd receives aliens.hold for a lea,, of twenty years. At the end of that time if not worked out be may receive an extent-Oil of the lease. There aro various kinds nf leases. Tho one that costs the least is tho ordinary hydraulic lease of 80 acres. The conditions of this lease enforces an iiimuiil rental of $50 and uu annual expenditure of $1000 or ho may pay instead LTi per cent, or $2f_0 iu cash. Now u prospector is tlio backbone of tho country and Iia should bo encouraged. If such excessive charges us above are put on a property it is impossible for him to comply witb tbom, On the other hand, if reasonable requirements are culled on he will prosper uud the benefit to the country at lnrgo will be greut. Similar remarks apply lo erpituliwts and investors coining into tbo country. Radical oluuigos in tho Act for tho better ure absolutely necessary in my opinion, and this is lbe general opinion too, If satisfactory changes ure mndo the counlry will prosper but ii ia extremely doubtful whether it would over do so undor the existing placer mining Laws. I understand thut a Commission is to bo appointed to inquire into this matter. This is a good move and if tlio proper men are appointed it should be conductive of good results. I would suggest that one or two practical mining men from euch mining centra of tho dlatrlcl be appointed, nnd thnt tho Oold Commissioner ol the district bo oue of them. Tho peoplo would bo ublo lo give tbeir views and those boing adopted practical undjustluws I am satisfied would be the result. As regards tho mining claims themselves 1 would suggest the following.— Placer mlnos Bhall bo divided into the followiug: [1] Shallow placer mines; i'2] Precious stone diggings; [.(] Deep placer olaims; [4] Croek plnccr cluims; [5] Dredging claims. Shallow pincers slmll mean ull the smaller claims now known as the ordinary plucer claim. They shall include the following: Creek claims, bar diggings, dry diggings, hill diggings, and thoy slmll bc of the sizes a specified in the Plnccr Mining Act of 1898-9 und they shall follow tho general laws of that Act. Precious stone diggings, ten acres. They shall not include the right to mino for gold or other precious metals. Hoep placer mines, shall mean all claims sitnnted on deepalluvial deposits of enrtb, gravel, cement or conglomerate. Where u creek or stream not in itself auriferous traverses a valley marking un ancient channel system then the claims mny bo laid out to cross and take in thii,valley of tlie creek or stream so fnr ns tbe sizo of the claims as specified below will allow. A deep placer claim shall contain 80 acres. It shall not have a greater width nlong tbe stream or ancient channel than 1500 feet. It shall ho rectangular us near as possible and it shall be plainly marked by four corner posts nnd lines joining them. It shall include drifting cluims and such cluims at may bo worked by the various hydraulic processes, or by mining and milling processes iu the caso of conglomerate and cement. Creek placer mining claims shall be on abandoned or unworked creeks or streams. They shall bo one-half milo in length und ahull include ibe lied und low lying valley of tne stream to nn elevation of 15 feet abovo low wnter murk. Dredging claims shall be five miles in length. On rivers of 100 feet in width and more, they shall tako in and include the whole bed of the stream below low water mark. In the ense of streams narrower than 100 feet it shall include nil adjacent land not more thnn ten foet below low wator mark. The present boundaries including all below the level of two feet below the low water mark is absurd. Iu many places at low water on theQu.nel river the depth is not greater tban two feet and in the cass of the smaller streams it would leave little or no grouud to mine. Plnccr mines shall include the right to mine for all alluvial gold, platinum, silver und other precious metals but it shall not include rights to mine quartz ledges discovered in so mining, unless the rights for this have also been applied for und granted. It shall also include surfuce rights. Consolidation of adjoining plucer claims of classes 2, 3, 4 nnd 5 shall be allowed, It shall not exceed 010 acres. For each such application a fee of $20 shall be charged, This consolidation shall allow tho whole of tho work to be done on one claim and it will nlso consolidate the water rights of the various claims. Work on cluims sbull menu the purchase of plant and its carriage to the ground. The building of ditches, flumes, pipelines, dnms, reservoirs, roads, mills, buildings und all work wbicb hns a direct bearing upon the development of the mine. The Oold Commissioner or Mining Recorder to judge thut this is being faithfully done. 1 would reccomond that the L05.sol.old system be dono awny with nnd the Crown Grunt system adopted. Deep placer mines, of 80 acres. Let tbe annual expenditure of work or cash amounting to $100 for live yeur.-. entitle the holder to a Crown Grant after paying the usual record nnd fees. If the work is all expended in onoyear it shall also give the same privileges, nnd $501) cash sbull purchase the claim outright. The claim shall be surveyed before the Crown Grant is allowed and tho Crown Grunt sbull hold till tho claim is worked out or abandoned, After the Crown Grant is issued charge an annual tax|of $20 when tho clnim is being worked and $120 when it is not being worked and let tho necessary annual expenditure in work be $100. Creek plucer mining claims slmll bo acquired and Crown Granted under the same conditions ns to work etc. us in the lnst case. Dredging cluims shall be Crown Granted in the same way. Annual expenditure $300 ns before for five yenrs, tbe olher conditions being the snme. This class of mining should be especially guarded and encouraged. Water Rights. Charge an animal tax of $20. Let it curry with it the right to build dnms, reservoirs, ditches, flumes aud pipelines. It shall also include the right of way for tbe ditch or Hume through mining or unoccupied land. In wider grunts specify whero the water is to be used and let all the rights and pri- ileges lust till this "round is worked out. Provided, nevertheless thnt tlie-ditch or flume sbull be the property of the Crown Grant holder. Give the Goltl Commissioner power to settle wnter andotber simple disputes. There shall be no taxes on wood for lumber, timber, firewood etc. except when it is being cut for side. During the development stage especially, encourage tlio mines in evory possible wuy nnd give tho Oold Commissioner discressionury powers to grunt necessary concessions pro. tent, when good reasons are shown to him for doing so. Tlie mining industry in this country is in its infancy and it is especially so in the case of placer mining. Tbe country is pre-eminently a mining one, it ia therefore to the general interest to encourage the industry. All excessive charges and tuxes directly.effect milling and prevent capitalists investing in und developing the country and they should be uvolted* as far us possible. Tho Crown grant system has succeeded well in the ense of mineral claims and I nm satisfied it will work equally as well with the placer mines. PROPOSED PLACER MINING AMMENDMENTS Tbe following is from a wull known resident of Barkerville uud gives hia views regarding the issuing of orown grants for plaoer ground, lt is only by getting tbo views of mauy tbat the JOURNAL hopes to have sufficient data to lay before the miuing commissioners or Uie mining committeo und be able to nay, "these ure the views of men of experience, who are Interested In the country. They bave given their views and from tbom sbould be taken the proposed amendments." All oau not be satisfied but all should bo und no doubt will bu willing to nbtdo by tbe majority interested. We hope to hear from mauy more on the subject before tho next session, wbiob will likely be some time in February: Kditoii Jdliinal, Snt: -1 saw Home suggest lone iu your valuablo paper some Lime ago regarding Lhe issuing of orown giants in place of louses, and as all the suggestions oomo from individuals who aro holding half th» oountry in leases, itiu plain to bo seen who will bi) benefited by the ohaugo. 11:Uii in for one that if orown grants were issued it would benefit only tbo vory few companies that aro now here, as, notwithstanding reports to tbe contrary, pretty muoh all tho available ground that is likely fo prove good le held by people already here, and if Ihey bad uu unassailable Litis why of course they could pay the small feo suggested and let It lay indefinitely to Lho detriment uf tbe couutiy and people. I thiuk that Lbe majority of the minora are in favor of retaining tbe lease system. The only kick you hear up here is.llrt.il the luw is not enforced in regard to assessment work, it being boldly asserted that, if the poor prospector does not live up to tbo letter of lho law, his claim is declared forfeited J government in this connection mon C. FOLEn_LETTER. Editor Jovhsal. hi attempting to outline tho position assumed;!))* the Independent Labor party in this campaign I would state thnt the impression thnt wo nro out for the purpose of splitting tlie vote of any par- tlculnr parly is an erroneous one. The questions involved ure of too serious u nature to permit such nnrrow considerations. Tiie, 1 might say, almost criminal indifference shown hy the old parties to the fnct thnt Canndlun labor is being rapidly driven from every Held of industry on the Pacific coast; the fact that 3000 of our countrymen have been robbed of their birthright by what appears to be n collntion betweeu government olllcials and cannery men on tbo Fraser River; the fact that the C, P. It. is today discriminating uguiust our peoplo in favor of au nliuu nice; the fact tbut Canadian labor is being displucod in our snw mills, fue tori on and mines, our women Irivon from domestic survloe, the law of supply utid demand In this connection being nearly equal, and by tbe employment of these people in this capacity an artificial over supply is boiug croated with the result thut for every alien so 'inployed someone's sister or daughter may be driven Into prostitution to earn a livelihood. The position assumed by Hoth of tho ■Id parties during the lust session huve cuused us to dispnir of relief in that di- 'ection by the methods heretofore employed, und wo believe that it is absolutely necessary we should scud u man thoro thoroughly acquainted with the silunliou who, with thu assistance of others similarly situated, willboenabled to convince the people in the oust that our cause is a just one. We believe that a smull body of representatives working now in the House will bo able to bF_jiig a prbnssura to bear upon tho while iho favored few have some way of doing assessment work whioh is invisible to tlio optics of the ordinary miner, but If you enquire at tho proper quarters you wilt be -told tbat tbeir title is as solid as the rook of ages and apparently more lasting. Tho laws as we have tbem at present constitute a frionoee from wbioh auy- oue huuget-iuK or thirsting for a diet beurinj. uo relation to Ulaokstouo may partake, Wben a miner has become so befuddled with Its rich boquet thai ho "does not know where be is at" be may have an antidote administered by his own kind; i. e. the fossiferous remains of crown colony days. Some of the medicine prescribed is a greut deal worse than tbe disease. It it was not for the fact that the drainage of lhis upper couulry passes tbrougb tbe beautiful valley of the Fraser, with its rich fields and happy honits I would suggest lhut the laws uud the bulk of tbe lawmakers and administrators be suuk in some abandoned shaft up here, auy old oue ou some of the real estate ground will do, as it will never be needed again. Why not adopt the boy after ho bas grown up and has sense and hns shown his usefulness. Thore bave been several miniug countries iu existanoo besides Cariboo where very fair workable laws have beeu promulgated by mou capable of comparing favorably with even our modest uud retiring Solon*. Siuco we, after 35 years, hnve lost ourselves iu chnos and parliamentary aspirations, and aro getting tired anyway, let ns adopt In toto the laws, or best of ihem, proved by other mining countries.

Denver, Colo., Nov. 8.—Although the reported sale of tlie Portland mint, in denied at the ollices oi tho compnny in ('olm-ado Springs, it is generally lxdievod in mining circles that this big Cripple Creek property will pnen into the bands of an English syndicate, consisting of the Venture Corporation, tho Exploration Compnny uiid'.Vehrner, ltoit *t Co., the South African diamond miners nud investors in Mtotlco mines and railways. Itis said tlmt thc price to be paid is nbout |15flOO,000, It is kanwu that experts for the concerns in tho din 1 hnve nude tHorongh Oxamlmitioii of the property, and from London the report comas that the deal is practically closed. The plan reported froniXondon is to consolidate the 1'oat land witli Strntton's Independence, ami to form it new compnny to control both of the great gold properties.

We hnd been together Tor four days. We called tbe boy .Ilm because Uis fnther did. We knew his father to bc Colonel Weston, banker, cattleman and mine owner. The colonel wasn't a man to whom n stranger would tnke nt first glance, aud even nfter four dnys of lilt. company none of us could nny wo liked lilm. Wlien you came lo study him Closely, you saw thnt he was rovengo* ( ful nnd relentless, The buy wan frank, chipper nud good natuivil, ami you I took a liking to film iih soon an you .totted Into his big blue eyes, Ilia ago wns nbout 10, and he had wtt nnd : knowledge beyond bis years, Wo bud 1 yet '-'ii miles to go to reach tho tornil- iiiih, nml the hour was nlimit '2 o'ctook In tlio nrternoon when the coach enmo to a sudden bnlt an It tolled up hill. Next moment the driver raited to ur: ''All you folks whnt don't want your heads blown off had bettor get down and liuo up, Wt'v« been Htoppi.d by n road agent." We hnd nrms In plenty, hut no one moved to resist. Kvery Imllet fired by the robber would bore Ila wny througH the conch and find n (Argot, while the robber bad the cover of tlio horses and wns safe from our fire, it seems cowardly wlion you read It, but to get down and submit to lie robbed was the wisest tiling to do under tlie clrcum- itnucos. Littlo Jim wns uot n bit frightened. On the contrary, he rather enjoyed the situation. It was not so with the colonel. I snw him turn pale and heard hlm cursing under bis breath, and ba wns the last man to get down. The robber bad a double barreled shotgun in his hands, lie cautioned the driver to hold the coach where lt was aud then advanced upon us. He glanced carelessly Into each face until Ids eyes rested on the colonel. Theu be gnve a sudden start, drew In bis breath with a gasp, and we realized that tbero wns n recognition. Thc colonel grew white uuder bis look nnd began to tremble. The boy bad no sooner looked Into the road agent's fneo than be cried out: "Why, It's Mr. Pelton-Mr. Teltonl Boy, Mr. Pelton, I'm awfully glad to ■ce you. Where"vc you been this loug time?" "So It's you, Jimmy," laughed tbe robber ns bc held out bis bond for a shake. "Well, you have been growing since I saw you lnst. It's a wonder you knew mo nt first sight." "Oh, I used to Ilk* you so well 1 couldn't forget your face," replied tho boy. "Are there robbers nround, Mr. Pelton r* With gentle band the mnn pushed tbo boy bnck in lino and then stepped back a pace or two. As he did so his fneo grew very sober, nnd I saw a flnsh in his blnck eyes I did not like. His voice wns low nnd steady ns lie Anally said: "I'm much obliged for your promptness in climbing down nnd lining up, aud I think I'll let you orr this time. The four of you may go back Into tha coach nnd go on. I'm leaving your guns with you, but don't attempt to piny me nny trick." Tbe colonel took his son by tho hand •;id attempted to enter the stage with us, but the robber motioned him back. "W-whnt do you want of me?" asked '■ thu colonel in a voice which quavered. "1*11 toll you Inter," wns the reply. As tbe conch started on we looked out to see the three standing In tlio rond. Little Jim still had hold of his father's hnnd, but bad reached out thn other nnd caught the robber's sleeve. When wc had gone SOU feet, thc road turned aud shut tlicm from our view. At the disappearance of the stnge tbo mnn turned on Colonel Weston nnd pointed to tbe hillside ou the right nnd aald: ' "Move ou tbnt wny. Jimmy, give ino your hand, nnd I'll help you along." The white faced colonel entered the pines nnd bold a straight course up tbe bill, Behind bim enme tho robber and hts son. The boy bad been full of curiosity nt flrst, but presently he was awed nnd frightened by tho looks cast upon his fnther. Two or throe years before lie and \ Mr. Pelton hnd beeu great friends. Mr. i Pulton bud been manager for bis father. Ouo dny there bad heen a bitter quarrel, pistols had been drawn, tbo sheriff had rushed In, nnd Mr. Pelton liml fled to escape arrest. He remembered bis father calling tiie fugitive a thief nnd of men being sent out to hunt bim down. All this cnuic back to him an they followed thc fnther up tbo rough wny, and though bo knew nothing of mnn's vengeance there was a feeling of dread In his soul. Now nnd then the robber ordered tlie colonel to the rigiit or left, but those wero tbe only words spoken until they finally reached a rude camp high up among the bowlders. By and by tho robber hnir turned to look the colonel in the face uud snid: 'i'vo waited for this for two year", t could neither die uor go nwny until I hnd killed you.*' "it will lie murder-cold blooded murder," replied the colonel as he folded his nrms. 'if It was murder n hundred times over, I'd do It. Do you suppose I can forgot Itose Harper? Who separated im? Who maligned me? Who wrecked my life and scut her to n suicide's grave? Who drove me to bo a fugitive from justice on a false charge? I'd kill yoti If 1,000 men surrounded me." The colonel was silent for a time. Uc did hot look at his boy, but past bim. The boy's eyes were fnstened on bis face, however, and ft' chill went by*. film as be noted the look of ft man standing ln the shadow ot death. It was the first time bo had ever seen It Ht turned from bis father after awhile to look at tho robber. There was another look strange to him. It wns a set determination to kill —the look of a man who had hated and thirsted aud watted. "Take the boy away flrst." said the colonel with a touch of entreaty in bis voice. "Yes; thnt will be proper," answered Pelton. "Come, Jimmy, let's take fl walk." "What—what you going to do with father?" whispered the boy as he walked slowly over and pnt his hand ll that of the would be murderer. "Never mind. Do you see that big rock up there? Well, go pp there and see what Is hidden-behind It. Shake hands with yonr father before you go." The boy crossed over to his father in a pawled way, and the father lifted him up and kissed hlm. When be put hlm down, ho said to him: "Bun along, Jimmy. If you don't find me when you come back, Mr. Pelton will Jake core of you." "Oh, yes, Mr. Pelton will take care of roe and see that I get home," replied the lad. "I'm awfully glad to see him. Wasn't It queer to meet htm 'way off here? X was saying only n week ngo tbat I wlsh'd he was back with us so that he could mend my wngon nnd help me mako kites, Mr, Pelton was always good to mc. I won't be gono long, and you and Mr, Pelton must bo good friends. Don't you remember that mother snid she was sorry for him) Wo wsnt him bnck, don't we?" Little Jim started off for the rock, but he hadn't taken ten steps before he was back ngnin to ssy to the robber: "And I wnnt you to make me a new water wheel, and ths handle has como out of the hammer, and nobody trill sharpen my knife for me. If you don't come back, I don't know what 1 shall do." "Perhaps I'll como back," whispered Pelton as ho turned his head away. "Oh, but you surely must. I've heard lota of peoplo say you were a good man and shouldn't have gono nwny. Mother told mi! if l ever met you I might speak to you Just as I used to. I'm going now, but remember that you are coming bnok." Tbt boy went away almost gleefully, and tbe two men beard his footsteps and bis voice as he made his way toward the rock. Tho father looked after him until lie was hidden by tho trees nnd theu turned to the robber and quietly said: "Before he comes back. And you'll help bim to get home?" "Ies; before he comes back," replied Pelton as he drew bis rovolver. "It won't bo murder, Colonel Weston. It'll simply be retribution. Do you want n minute or two to ask God ts forgive you?" Tht colonel sat erect with folded ] arms. Ho closed hts eyes, and his lips moved. By and by he heard the click of the pistol. He did not open his eyes, Imt he felt that lt was leveled nt his heart and that his life was measured by seconds. Of a sudden came a call from little Jim. Half way to the rock he bad turned about to shout: "Ob, Mr. Pelton, don't forget to think up some new Indian nnd bear stories to tell me. Nobody has told me a story since you went away." The colonel's eyes opened. Tbt revolver wns lying on tbe ground, and Pelton bad his bands over his face. Wben he dropped them, there were tears In his eyes. He rose up, put the pistol In bis pocket and said to the man waiting for death: "I can't do It Little Jim would know lt some day. When bt comes back, tako him and go down to tbe road. It's only three mites to Cedar- ville." With that be walked off Into the brush and was out of sight ln a moment. When little Jim returned, bc found hts father sitting as be bad left him and gazing Into tho woods. "What Is It, fjther?" he asked. "What's the matter with you and where Is Mr. Pelton?" Tbe man rose up slowly, took bis boy's hand In his, and without ft word In answer be led the way down to the stage trail and safety. A MUntuned To.In, He had driven from a backwoods hamlet to the station nnd nftcr making su inquiry of thc conductor boarded the train for Philadelphia. When well ou tjje way, he stopped thc blue coated otllclal and asked In all seriousness: "I'm sorter hungry. Will ye just tell me where tho catiu car Is?" "There is nono on this train," was the answer. "Its short run does uot re* quire- it." "Huh 1" grunted tho questioner.

A Full Car load of BAIN BOB-SLEIGHS Just arrived at The Rnih ol __ Shell, As a shell rushes through the nir at tho rate of 1,000 miles an hour It gets heavily chnrged with electricity by friction, says London Answers. It parts with It to auy good conductor lt meets ou tho way, doing terrible execution. Passing In front of u Hriilsh soldier, a big shell gave hlm such n shock that be Instantly felt dead. In one ot our wars two olllcers, stand* Ing sidu by Bide, saw a shell coming. They stood apart, nud it passed between them without touching either, Uut ono olllccr lost the sight of both eyes, and tho other Instantly becanio blind tn ouo nnd soou tost tho other atso. In nni'iiitT battle n soldier had Just stooped to help a fallen comrado when a shell passed over bis back. He fell forward quite disabled, and for months after tie could not stand erect. A curious accident of n similar kind happened to nn American officer ln the Cuban war. Ho wns galloping across tho Held when a shell whirled past in front of him. His horso rolled over, and he himself became unconscious. On recovery ho found that neither self nor steed bad been wounded, and hs knew that they bad simply sustained a severe electric shock. Th* Der Battery, Ths dry battery, so called, lias almost completely supplanted the older wet battery for electric boll work, etc., on account of Its greater eonrcnlenee and Isck of the disagreeable, sloppy qualities possessed by Its predecessor. Somebody has defined a dry battery as one tbat Is always wet Inside and a wet battery as one that often dries up. It Is precisely so; the dry battery is permanently wet inside. It Is generally made up of a sine cylinder or cup, In which Is supported a carbon stick or rod, surrounded by some porous substance, such as "excelsior" or other fiber, mineral wool or plaster of parts. This Is saturated with the active chemical, sal ammoniac generally, ln a solution made stiff with gelatin. The whole Is then sealed with pitch or sons similar compound snd Is ready tor use. These batteries nre wade in *mst quantities and so chcnj£ that when one becomes exhausted It Is .-.imply thrown away and repliced-wltb a new one.

Mauy grcnt men wero believers In tnllsmans nnd wore theni constantly.

A snilor who met with a serious accident was carried to tho London hospital. Thc poor mother hurried to th* building to sec her son. She was met by a kind but firm refusal from the house physician, but nothing daunted sho pleaded for admission to tbe poor fellow's bedside. Who could resist a mother's entreaties? The safety of the patient lay In hts being kept absolutely quiet, but tho physician consented to her admission on condition tbat she did not speak a word. She stole softly to bis bedside nnd gaged as only a mother can at her unconscious boy. She dare not speak, but a mother's love was not to be denied all expression, and gently laying her hand on bis fevered brow sho let lt rast there a. moment aud then noiselessly crept from thc room.
