The country is practically honeycombed with gold, but the cost of carrying provisions into the district is so heavy »s to preclude any attempt at develop meat, upon any large scale. Tbe gold is (here. How can It best bo got at. Tbat is the problem which a number of British capitalists,headed by his highness,the Duke of Teck. have set themselves to solve. With this object in view they have applied to the Dominion parliament for an act of incorporation as the British Yukon Chartered company. The capllai of tbis company is placed at £1,000,000, and its chief object is to develop and open Up tbe Yukon country that its wonderful wealth may be opened up CO the hardy miners of the world. C. H. Wilkinson, the representative in Canada of Iho British syndicat plained the situation to a Montreal Star reporter the other day in a manner which throws much light on the subject. Tbe bill incorporating the proposed company has passed the Commons, and is now before the Son- iite. We do not ask anything in our application which could uot be exercised by auy private individual,except power to build a railroad, tor which, of course, wu need parliamentary sanction. When we get our charter we propose to start work at once. At present we are construoting a pack trail through the White Pass, and as soon as tlmt is finished wo will commence our surveys. In order to show tbe difficulties of transportation into that country let mo toll you thai for the first I'i or '20 miles alone the cost of packing runs from l-i to 20 cents per pound. I have now in my possession applications from a mcr- cbiiutal .luueau for the packing of at least 1000 tons of freight. "Now. us each pack horse going through tbe White Puss can only carry ■JiHl pounds, you can see that 1000 horses will be required for this work alone. ".Some complaint has been made in certain quarters about our proposal to collect a royalty upon the precious minerals mined within the territory. Bul I claim thut. the miners would bo far belter olf utider such a system I ban tbey uro now. "Wu expect a largo influx of miners this season the season has hardly be gun yot but in view of the great diffi culties of transportation no great do volopment of the country is possible until some railway faculties ure provided. If we are allowed to get our charter we will go ahead with the work next season. We are iu earnest, and, if given a chance, will prove that our proposals will be of benefit to Canada." To show tbe wonderful wealth of the Yukon country Mr. Wilkinson quoted from the report of Mr. William Ogil- vie, of bis exploration of that territory: "Qold is fouud all along the valley of Sixty Mile river and under more favorable conditions, both mercantile and climatic, it would yield good results to largo enterprises," There are nearly UK) claims, all of which pay well. Oue on Miller creok will yield from 876,000 to *80.IK)0 this season, and the owner will net between !$10,IK)0 and 850,000. "It is claimed llmt Sintl to 8500 por day cun be made of (.'round that has beeu prospected so far." "Two men took out 81,000 in two duys." •JThroe men, working very irregularly, washed out 81,800 in eight days." "Placer prospects continue more and more encouraging aud extraordinary It is beyond doubt that three puns on different chums on Eldorado turned out 8!_0_, i?--lli_ and 8210.'' It must, however, be borne iu mind that the winter lusts for nearly three- fourths of the year. Ottawa, Juno 1«. Mr. Fielding tonight tabled the export duty resolutions. The logs aud pulp wood duty will bo $3 per 1,000 feet, broad measurement, If the States impose a duty on our sawn lumber. Ou ores the proposed export duties are as follows: (a.)

Montana is experiencing a revival in placer mining. The muin impetus has come through the application of steam dredge on the difficult bars and creok beds tbat could not be reached iu any other way. At the present time the lurgest steam dredpo ever used in placer mining is earning 8000 a day in the bed of Grasshopper croek,in Beaverhead county. It can handle from 4,000 to 0,000 yards of dirt every'24 hours, at a cost of from 5 to 8 couts a yard. A larger dredge is beiug built in South Milwaukee for the sumo com puny. It will be completed iu September, and will work thc remainder of tho season. Tho success of the stoam dredge in Grasshopper creek has induced an eastern company to buy up a large part of Alder gulch, with a|vlew of pitting In a machine or two there. Another steam dredge is iu operation in Mitchell's Gulch, near Helena. STTJDEBAKER ■w-A.a-o_r.TS. McCormicks Binders and Mowers, McClary's Famous Stoves, tanning Tools and General Hardware.

Ottawa, June 17.- A meeting of the railway committee was called this after noon at the request of tho promotors of the Victoria, Vaucouvor k Eastern Railway, au arrangement having been arrived at between themselves aud the promoters of the Columbia .fc Western to permit both bills to be put through by the committee and to allow tho government to decide ns to whieh road was to Ket thesubsidy. Theagroemeut in fuel weut further thau this and provided that for certaiu considerations, not necessrry to mention, the promotors of the Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern were to throw tho whole alfair in the hands of the Columbia k Western men. This agreement, it is understood, was signed by Dr. Milne of Viotorla. Today the doctor sent a letter to one of the promoters of tho Columbia k Western stating thnt he would not stand by the letter he signed last evening in tho olllce of a certain leading lawyer on Sparks street. In consequence of this the promoters of the Vietoria. Vancouver & Eastern aud their parliamentary friends stayed away from the meeting of tbe committee to-day, although the Columbia k Western men were present. When the result of lnst night's deal was quietly circulated around this morning, the Vietoria. Vaneouver & Eastern men slipped nut; of the committee and left it without a quorum. If the meeting had taken place somo startling reveli t ions would have boon the result. Tho British Columbia people will havo to blame themselves for tbis squabble which has thrown bark for years the chance of building a railway from the Kootenay region to the Pacific coast. The coast line representatives are on top aud for this year ut any rate Mr. Mein/.e and his friends are thrown down. Both Heinze and Warlleld were present at the railway eninmittec meeting this morniug. Maxwell and Mc Innes were also there, eager to put them on the gridiron, but the late hour at which the house adjourned last night hail its eireets. After waiting a fow minutes Chairman Sutherland declared that the meeting was -Adjourned for lack of a quorum, and subsequently, when it was seen that the Heinze bill could not pass was determined not to hold any'.further meetings this sossion. In tho senate Senator Mcluuis of British Columbia moved that in tho opinion of the senate it was both desirable and expedient that the government should at the earliest possible moment establish a miut in Canada for the purpose of coining alj the gold, silver aud copper currency necessary to meet the commercial requirements of the country. He thought the miut should be located in British Columbia, but if any niid objections could bo urged against that proposal he would not object to its being established at Ottawa. His idea was to coin two, two and a half, five and ton dollar pieces of the samo si'm and value of tho United Slates coin. As an evidence of the need of a national mint, Senator Mcluuis stated that the banks in British Columbia had never beeu able to got enough Canadian silver to satisfy demands made upon them, witb n result that, a largo proportion of tho silver iu circulation west of Winnipeg was American silver. Thero was certainly uo good reason for this whon the country could produce a silver coinage of its own at such au enormous profit, Senator Drummoud, while admitting the great mineral wealth of British Columbia maintained that the commercial requirements of the couutry did not call for the establishment of a Canadian mint. Tho present arrannemeut was amply sufficient for the needs of the country. Nor would the establishment of a miut bring the enormous profits stated by Senator Mclnnis. It was true that the United States in coining, for instituce, dollar pieces which had in them ouly about sixty cents'worth of pure silvor, would, if they could, dispose of them for a dollar's worth, realize forty cents on thc dollar by the transaction, but it was well known that in tho treasury at Washington there were hundreds of tons of these dollar coins, which were uot in use, aud represented ouly their market value of alloyed silver. The truth was that the United States lost much mouoy through its silver coiu age. Thou it was woll known that tbe depreciation from wear and tear ou gold coinage far more thau represented any margin of profit that conld be made in coining gold. As one associated with manufacturing industries all his life, he thought a fair estimate of the cost of establishing an adequate mint would bo about 8100,00(1. To this must be added tho cost of running such au institution, which he estimated at 812.000 or «1.J,000 a year. The present cost of our coinage was estimated by Senator Mclnnis himself at about 88,000 a year, so that thero would be no oconomy in tho ehauge. The most, serious aspect of the question, however, was that tho establishment of a mint would be the first step towards au agitation for the unlimited coinage of silver. The experience of the United States, whicli had boen brought almost to the verge of bankruptcy by a similar agitation, should be a warning to the government to proceed cautious- ly with any such proposition us this. After further discussion Sir Oliver Mowat said that the debate had proved interesting and instructive. Senator Mcluuis had accomplished wlmt he desired iu bringing the matter to thc attention of the government and the :ountry. Ho would ask that the motion be allowed lo drop, to which request Senator Mcluuis reluctantly consented.

Tho second busiest consul in the world is the British consul at Constantinople.

He conceded howevor,that Ibis arrangement is better than government construction, An amendment by Mr. Midlines llmt no Chinese or Japanese be employed in the construct ion of the railway was negatived. Another amendment of his providing that the reduced rates in freight fnun cast of Port Arthur to points in the west should also apply iu the opposite direction was left over, lo if tbe government could not got the Canadian Pacific to agree to it. Barney Harnato. The late Barney Barnato, who com milted suicide lasl week by jumping overboard from tho steamer en route to England from South Africa, was lu many respects tho most remarkable speculator of the century. Of all tho Englishmen who hare taken part in tho development of South Africa, two only have secured a worldwide reputation. Those have been Cecil Rhodes and Barnett Isaacs, more often and less respectfully styled Barney Barnato, Barnato was an assumed name, a sort of stage name, for he began bis life in South Africa by exhibiting a trick donkey some twenty-five years ago. He was then about 20 years of age. Barney Barnato was an English Jew. Up to the point where his fortunes began to decline he made money by leaps and bounds, aud in 1805, when his good fortune was at its zenith.it was estimated that he controlled interests worth in the neighborhood of £100,000,000. It was the fashion to call him the richest mau iu tho world. At that time ho was virtually the king of the London money market. In the autumn of 1805, when the boom in Kaffirs, the shares of the comparatively new gold mines of the Transvaal, South Africa, was at its height, every man, woman and child ln Loudon, with money to invest, invested it in Kaffirs. Tho craze was tho last of those financial fevers which periodically attack conservative England, tbe South sea bubble" being tho first. Fot months it was tho controlling passion in London, and it was most rampant in Paris and Berlin. Tho shares weut to unheard of figures, and fortunes were made in a day. The center of this tromondous financial outburst was Barney Barnato, and he was conservatively estimated at that time as worth between 8100,000,000 and 8150,000,000. Among his assets was a bank originally capitalized at $12,- 500,000. In a very few months its capital stock rose in value to 845.000,000. Barnato was bom in London. Littlois known ns to his early life, except that ho received his instruction from n private tutor, instead of attending the public schools. He was a younger son, and at the age of 20 went to South Africa, then a much moro unknown torritory than it is now, thinly populated by Englishmen or persons of English descent. Tho Kimbcrlcy diamond mines were just beginning to bo productive. With his few pounds of capital he began dealing in diamonds in a small way. Ho was clever and pushing. Everything he touched ho made successful. In five years he had earned enough in the retail sale of diamonds to purchase shares in tho mines from which his merchandise had come, Before another five years had elapsed his holdings at Kimberloy had become very largo, and whon tho Transvaal gold fields wero discovered he had profits to iuvest in them.* In 1886 Barnato was a definite money power in South Africa, and began to bo spoken of as tho rival of Cecil Rhodes. Unlike in temperament, the two men started ont to be opponents, but iu 1888 they reached the conclusion simultaneously that tholr respective interests could bo best promoted by combining forces, and the Do Beers consolidated mines was the result, one of the most valuable pieces of property in laud in the world. Although Barnato represented Kim- borly twice lu tho Cape legislature, he had little time to give to politics, and little interest in that field of activity. Cecil Rhodes used wealth only as a means of political control: Barnato aspired only to such control of mon as comes from boiug fabulously rich, His record in tho Capo legislature was quite devoid of incident. When tho tremendous increase in his mining Interests called for the establishment of a London branch, this took the form of the Barnato bank. From that date he spent most of his time iu Loudon. lived at first in Earl Spencer's town residence, but moved dually into a moro magnificent mansion overlooking Hyde part.. While in Africa ho married and had three children, two sous aud a daughter. Ho always had, or professed to have, boundless faith iu the future of tho Transvaal, and his personal popularity among all classes of Afrikanders was great. In Loudon, where he was constantly beseiged by flatterers, beggars and projectors of all sorts of enterprises, he finally became quite inaccessible to all except his most intimate friends. TABLE.
