A long hill lending up to Bostou Flat is tho Ilrst thing ono starting up tbo Cariboo road encounters after cross- ing tbo swift running Thompson, whioh is at this ditto within ubout four foot uf last year's high water murk, ulthongh still nbout twolvo feet below tbo high water mark of 1801 wheu tho bridgo was carried out. It now looks as though tho farmers living on tbo lower Frasor may escape disastrous (loods tbis season although it is still too eurly to lio anyway certain. Ou Boston Flat Alex. Shields was soon witb a survey party running out the lines aud iinding levels fot- tbo big ditches tbat aro now uudor way, Tho big pump to be run by olootrlo power will raise 8,000 gallons of water somo 2-iOtoct from tho Bonaparto iuto tho ditches above, frum whence it will bo distributed along tbo flat, passing down by fcho sido of the reservation noar Judge Cornwall's and on down, pplylng water for tbo lowor rosorva- tions as well as the one above and that with lho approximately 800 minors iu. raised will supply somo -l,IHHl acres of ground, antl this amount, and perhaps moro lator ou, will hu put in shapo to grow crops uf various kinds, aud somo of it will bo choice fruit lands.

Wo woro with tho majority but fouud no ouo at homo. Robert Walker and bis interesting faut- ly livo in a neat cottage opposito Camp- boll's. Tbe village of Cacho Creek proper has but few residents and nearly all Chiuese, two Obinese stores being located at this point. Across tbe second Bouaparto bridgo Dan MoLood has a pleasantly located house lately built. A church at the Bonaparte ranoharee has lately boen erected. Some 200 Indians make this their headquarters but spend much of their time at Hat Creek, where they have gardens aud meadows. They are of Catholic proclivity and are a peaceful lot of Los wbo are not especially careful in thoir dress and will gladly dino off of beef tbat is rather old or wear anybody's cast olf clothes. Cole McDonald's, the 12 Milo House always bos a tidy appearance and is a favorite stopping house for teamsters and travelers. Hat Creek, a mile beyond is a stage station, where meals are taken early mornings that the stago leaves Ashcroft for Cariboo. About 100 acres of crops aro sown aud the meadows in connection are valuable, large quantities of bay boing cut each season. Tho Hat Creek buildings are always kept in good condition aud mako a good appearance to anyone driving along tbe road. Nevins' blacksmith shop seems to bo doing a good business, tbe owner having no time to spare from his business. Au unfortunate man by tho name of George Williams lives in a little houso near tho shop. He is helpless from rheumatism and receives, we believo, 610 por month from the government towards maintainance. The sum is, however, so little, situated as ho is, b-ing entirely helpless, that were it not for the kindness of his neighbors be would suffer for tbe necessaries of llfo. Something should bo dono by the authorities in bis caso, and if uothlug can bo dono to relievo him he should bo taken to some infirmary whore ho can baye care at govornmont expense. Neighbors, bo thoy ever so kind, can not for an indefinite period look after a sick person, and tbo fow dollars it will cost to put this man whero be will bare care and treatment will never be begrudged by tax payers. Tho mineralized mountains between Hat Creok and Muudorl's ou both sides of the Bonaparto ure a pretty sight and are of interest to minerolo- gists. The iron stains, rod and blue predominating, show what leeching and oxidation have done, und from the exploratory work dono by the English mining company undor the direction of Captain J. K. Mitchell, several hundred foet of tunnels having been run and shafts sunk it would seom fair to suppose that thore aro hero mines of value, Tho company, two yoars ago shipped a car load of oro that gavo returns of about $10 per ton iu gold, silver aud copper. Tho company, largely ongagod in othor mining projects iu otl'.or parts of the province, two yoars ago secured crown grants to about 100 acres, and sinco that timo nothing has boen dono, the. oompany having, it is reported, gone into bankruptcy. Somo day thoso miues will, be worked to the advantage of their owners, aud much to tlio bouellt of Ashoroft and the surrounding country, Messrs, Hooding, Smith and Bryson owu properties in which thoy bavo full faith a littlo fnr tlier up tho road, and aro now doing development work on them, Mr. Hocking, a practical miner from Batte, Montana, boing In chargo of the work. Of tho various ranches along tbo road iu tho Bonaparte valloy Philip Purkos', B.F, Euglish's, D. O'Hara's, T. Morgan's, Wm. Walker's, Mrs. Veasoys' and others, it is suftlalent to say that although tho soason Is very late, tho drops are looking well. Stock wintered without any appreciable loss and no finer or moro prosperous ranchers can bo found iu tho proviuco thau thoso along tho Bonaparto, At tbo Hat Creek houso a team just returning from Cariboo with Messrs. Deelts and Johnson aboard was met, tho former must havo had a good sale up the road of his colobratod "Tiger" brand clothing for his appearance indicated that ho was at peace with himself aud all tho world. Tho 20 Milo Houso is, as it always was, a good shipping houso and tbo presence of tliogouial seargont-atarms of tbo Provincial Parliament as a guest, mado time pass pleasantly. Mr, Mun dorf has cleared up about 10 or 12 aores uf ground along Maiden oreek and uuy one driving up tho bill would vow lio is running wator up hill t:i irrigate it. Tlio Dougherty ranch, with its green crops, tastily built new house aud pleasant surroundings is a famous stopping place fur teamsters. At Clinton both hotels seem tubo doing business in spite of the dull season, and tho towu looks as it usually docs this soason of tho yoar. Cliutou has a groat advantage uver most littlo villages iu tho fact that a mountain stream comes tumbling dowu tho hill aud Is divided aud subdivided into many littlo branches that go through tbo various gardens and to supply tho residences with water for domestic uso. Foster's store, as it always has dono, soils goods and a good lot of thom throughout tho season. Kolloy's haruoss shop is well sup plied with material aud Mr, Kolly doos a good business in his lino. Tho government buildings, uudor the caro of F. Soues, agout, aro woll kopt, and while not largo aro commodious enough for Clinton's wants. The government work could not bo In better hands than iu those of Mr. Soues aud his assistant, Provincial Constable Mitchell. A blinding snow storm on Clinton mountain was not a particularly pleasant experience and hardly to be looked for on the 1th of June, but it came down nevertheless, blizzard style, for about four hours aud after a twelve mile drivo, most of the way iu the storm, the 50 Milo Houso was a pleasant haven of refuge, The 59, kept by Duncan McGiIlivray, accommodates many travelers. Thero is pleuty of stabling and tho house is large and convenient. More mud and a little storm and wo aro at the 70-Mile House for dinner. Doos anyone who ever traveled over the Cariboo road fail to know Wm. Boyd, of the 70? While hero we were told in confidence by Mr. lioyd that the narrative told by our fellow townsman, Johu Shields, about goiug out to the lakes at tho head of tne Bonaparte last fall and tiring out his guide was a fairy talo. That on the contrary it looked to Mr. Boyd at one time as though lio would have to pack Mr, Shields in on his back, bo was so thoroughly exhausted, und that when bo finally reached home witb the exhausted man it took various potions of Scotch and water to bring him around. At the 7-1 a new house bas been built and a comfortable stopping houso is conducted by Mr. Cunningham. At the 83, the meeting place of the up and down stages good commodious bams aro found and tho hotel is conducted by Mr. and Mrs. Strout. At times a largo number of peoplo meet at this favorite placo. From the 83 to the 87 the road needs repairing badly, as is the case with uearly all tho mountain road. Collens', tho 87, is a favorito placo for freighters to pass the uight as they are then very near the top of tho long climb over Clinton mountain, A horso belonging to the B. O, X.lay by the side of the road about two milos south of tho 100, dropped in its harness early tbis morniug. Tho stage was delayed a couple of hours in consequence. Holp was given to the horse but the unfortunato brute could not stand and will likely die. It was not, however, by any means tbo rosult of poor care or bard work that the horse dropped as it did, for it, like all tho horses oftho B. C. X., was well fed and in good condition. Allen's, tbo hundred, changes but little year by year aud as usual freight teams were found here. ThVee heavily loaded toams with tho machinery for the Miocone mine. If Sonator Campbell does not succeed in bottoming the old Horsefly cbanuol it will not be becauso he is not making a thorough effort, and is not sparing expense in bringing in the best of machinery. The 105 buildings havo been improved and tho samo cuu bo said at tbo 108, at tho latter plaoe a numbor of now buildings havo been put up within tho last year or two. The proprietor, liko many another man was buildiug fence. Iu fact thisfseems to bo tho way a Cariboo road ranoher works olf his surplus money and gets even with himself physically, by building fence nil his spare time. I am seated now writing theso lines at tho desk of tho Rider Haggard of Lao La Hache, tbo discoverer of the floods, tbo burning mountains, the Lao La Hache Athletic Club, fighting turkey gobblers and the narrator of more startling news from this quiet farming community than was supposed oould over bo evolved from any one's brain. fights lasting as many as 70 rounds occurred for big monoy, whero tho champagne wns brought in in tubs, etc., and yet tho sottlomont consists of Mr. Wm. Abel, J.P.'s. house, in which is also kept tho postofflce, a repair shop for the B. C. X., and a traveling tolcgrnph office The latter has, by tho way, boen kept on rollers since it was first built, and has been moved threo times in tho last three weeks, it being the personal property of tho operator. Ho almost may bo said to lako it witb hint whero ere he goes, Wo said tho Rider Haggard of Lac La Hacho but iu no other respect oxcopt in his vivid imagination does ho resomblo "Rider." Ho is not even 'haggard", but iu imagination ho cou dlscouut the story of "Solomon's Mines" and writo greater stories than "She." He ulso deals iu carriages and tries them himself, and as a rulo aftor lie trios them they are notsnlablo. Tlie Mcintosh brothers' sawmill has beou muyed from tho 111 lo Horsolly, whoro they aro to cut lumber for tho Horsefly hydraulic aud olher companies. Tho 111 is a neatly kept house whoro tlio stago changes horses and passengers tako meals, Attempted Suicide. Donald Perrier, undor seutouco of death for the murder of Jennie Anderson, mado an attempt to commit suicido last Tuosday at Now Westminster by severing an artery iu his wrist with a penknife, and also stabbing himself in the stomach with tho samo instrument. His condition was noticed, and medical aid summoned just in timo to save bis life, Tbe wound in tho stomach is not serious, tho ouly ill effect is caused by loss of blood from tho wound in the wrist. Perrier was recently respited till Juno 30, and medical mon havo been examining him as to his sanity. Mining On Horstllv. The big placer mine on the Horsefly river, owned by tho Miocene Gravel Mining Company, Ltd., which was temporarily closed down a couple of weeks ago on account of water getting into the shuft, will be running full blast again in a fow days. Senator R, II. Campbell, manager of tho mine, returned Wednesday night from Sun Francisco, whero bo purchased nbout twelve thousand dollars' worth of machinery, which, whon put in operation, will keep all water out. Mr. Campbell is negotiating with Vaucouver firms for a .further supply of machinery, which he expects to ship in a couple of days. Mrs. Campbell accompanied him on his return from San Francisco. Pressmen's Excursion. The committee in charge of tbe proposed excursion of membors of tho Western Canada Press Association have about completed all arrangements. The party will embrace representatives of about fifty leading papers of Western Ontario, Manitoba and tho Northwest Territories. Two sleeping cars bavo beeu chartered and will be attached to tho regular passenger train leaving Winnipeg on Tuesday, June 13. The first stop Will be at Banff, whero a duy will be spent; thou the party will proceed to Seattle, Tacoma and Portland and return via Victoria, Vancouver and tho Kootenay country, visiting Spokano from lloss- land, then back to Nelson and homo over the Crow's Nest road, reaching Winnipeg Juno 30th. Expect a Big Run. A special meeting of the salmon dinners of iiritish Columbia was bold in Vancouver Tuesday afternoon but just what was transacted at tho session could uot be learued as tho meeting was a secret one. The salmon season opens on July Sth and it is thought by people wbo havo carefully observed conditions in tlio past that ibe coming season will bo tbe most successful iu many years. The new salmon fishery regulations for British Columbia are now in force and will have the effect of keeping out alien labor which will consequently make things more prosperous for residents of British Columbia. It is uot expected that thero will bo any trouble between cannery owners and fishermen in regard to the price of fish as has been tho case during past seasons, but it is impossible to predict just bow things will shape themselves until after tbe season opens, A short time ugo a report was circulated tbat thero was a scarcity of tin cans in tho British Columbia canneries and that it was impossible to buy tlu plato at any price, which would have a tendency of considerably reducing the output for the season, bul there is no foundation for tho report. "It is impossible to say whether tho season will bo a successful one or not," said W. D. Burdls, secretary of the cannors association, tliis morning. "The fish aro all iu tho wator yot, but all the canneries aro mnking preparations for a big run."—Province. Chief Burr, of tbe flro department, received a letter from tho Kamloops fire department asking Ashcroft to send up a team to take part in the hose-cart contests during tho Kumloops exhibi This, then, is the spot where the prize | tion noxt fall. A Letter Prom Alaska, Written to Dr. Hamshaw by a brother, giving somo interesting facts concerning tho mode of living in tho cold gold regions. Ft. Cudab, March 13, '09. Dear Brother:—*Received yours of Novombor 25 yesterday which found rue woll aud hearty, weighing 180. This is the first letter I have received since oomiug to the couutry. Am living at forty-Mile City, which is just across tho rivor from Ft. Cudab but tlio postofflce is at tho fort. Forty Milo City is a town of 200 cabins, two trading companies stocked to lho roof with ali kinds of grub, sugar- milk aud buttor, however, arc soarco, but I eau get all 1 waut at tho stores. Sugar is (15 cents a pound, Tho canned stuff sent to this country for quality and variety. Thiuk of canned "-■-iiglish Plum Pudding," beefsteak aud onions, liver nnd bacon, asparagus, suusage.sweot potatoes, cabbage, mince meat nud butter as fresh uud sweet as tho fluost new creamery you get at home. But how somo things do cost! A can of milk 50 c, dried fruit 10 c. a pound, oxt of beef $2 a jar. -Potatoes 75 cents a pound -but tho evaporated potatoes sold by tho N. A. T. & T. Co., at Ft. Cudab aro simply immense. They ure made iu Germany and part of tbe ame is: Luceokor Conserven Fabric roschonschneidor Lubeck. Will send you some more of tho namo uoxt time as tho steamor will only curry it iu sections. Havo been stampeding all wintor except when I had to return home for grub I would rest up a weok or so. Have pulled a loaded sled 200 to 350 pounds -over 1200 miles this winter uud it is the hardest work a human being ever did. Remember that a Bled docs not ruu easily In this country, on tho contrary, owiug to the extreme oold und tbe dryness of the snow it pulls almost as hard as on sand. Dress as light as you will sweat will run off you in streams. Kvery bit of clothing on you will bo as wet us if you had fallen in tho rivor. When you stop pulling you havo to have a lire very suddenly or it is "all olf" with you; but tboro uro road houses on all the main streams whoro you can stop over night, cook your meals on tholr stove with their wood and wator and sleep in your own bed for $1. These road houses are a God-send to the country, as no one so fully appreciates as one who has slept out in wet clothing several times. You can stop in them any time of the day and cook your meal und the charge is nothing. Tbe only oharge is for stopping over night, and money or no money you are always welcome. The miners in general are very hospitable. You can stop in any miner's cabin as long as thoro is room to stand up; but tbis hospitality is tho hospitality of necessity for they may be on the road themselves iu a fow days. They are all liars. As there is no telegraph communication they tell all sorts of stories about news they heard from the "out sido" whilo at tbe post. They lie about rich strikes on creeks far away and causo innumerable stampedes; lie ubout tho temperature, lie about their prospects, etc. Some are gifted artistic liars, somo low, unscrupulous liars, others ure good conscientious, never failing liars who regard the plain statement of faots as a lost opportunity. A man who does not invariably lie every time he clears his bazoo for action cannot become a member of the "Ancient Order of Sour Dough Stiffs," a very powerful Yukon organization. Ono has to learn to cook up grub for a stampede. To begin with he must slice up some bacon and throw it in a sack, as it freezes too hard to out. The beuns wo boil and then drain ofl; the wuter und spread out on a table outside to freeze. They aro then in shape to bo cooked iu a few minutes in a frying pun by tho addition of water and bacon grease, Tbe oooked frozen beaus are carried in a sack same as uncooked beans. Then I bake np a sack full of punk in biscuit form and am ready to go. Uf course I take along somo fruit, sugar, rloe, milk, rolled oats uud teu, but the backbone of a stampede outfit is beaus, bacon and punk, but the greatest of these is punk, Poo pie como to this country with some great ideus about grub. They looked in an almanac and saw tables giving the nutratlvo value of different foods and never stopped to consider whether they oould live on a certain food exclusively. I saw an old man last win ter just starting out from Skagway with un outfit consisting of 800 pounds of rice, live of coffee nnd five of bacon, aud thut was absolutely all. I nsked him if ho hud ever lived on rice straight and he said be had not but the almanac gave it a very high nutritive value and nutriment was what he needed, Tho poor old montal imbecile never dreamed that bis stomach would eventually rebel against trying to extract tbo llfty live -elements of nature from tasteless, slimy, swamp grown rice, A pound of rice or oat meal may contain moro nutriment than a pound of beef but a hungry man can easily devour two pouuds of beef at a meal, while a quarter of a pound ofricoor oatmeal would founder u hound pup. We hnvo the bost houses in this country I over snw. My cabin is so warm that no matter how eold it Is I have to open tho door whilo cooking a meal. The weather has uot beou so cold this wintor as it was a few years ago, but cold onough to suit me. A peculiar thing about this country is that one never feels chilly or shivers because tho air is so dry. I often walk about town lu my shirt sleeves in the ooldest weather without feeling cold, but it must not be inferred from this that there is no danger of freezing. I have frozen my noso and face a hundred times this wintor, but thut doesn't amount to much. Tho hospital here is full of frozen men. One man last November got Into the slough running through town an.' we could not get him out, He fell asleep and froze his hands and feet so thoy had to be amputated, all this in two hours. Sam MoCullough left my cabin about two weeks ago to go to Dawson. He got there all right but started back with a quart of alchohol in his pocket. Word has just come to me tbat be was picked up alive about ten miles this side of Dawson and taken back. His hands have been amputated and his eyeballs were frozen solid and had to be taken out, But tbe winter is practically over now for the sun is out bright and warm about eleven hours a day. It looked rather gloomy here in the middle of the winter as the sun went down on the 27th of November and did not rise until the Oth of January. On tbe Oth of November I threw a cup of water on glare ice and it flew off like sand, frozen before it struck. Game has been scarce until now but tbe Indians are bringing in lots of Moose and carribou uow. I have two claims which I think are pretty goad and will work them next summer. Thero will be great exodus from this country next spriug as there are too mnny people for the country and tha prices for grub are prohibitive. But grub will take a big drop uext summer.

I wns told to get it. I tried mnny ways nml fntlcd. Ho did not know I waft detective. Hu had known ma for a number of years, but thought I was engaged ln other work. I had another plan to get from him whnt I wanted. I told him a New York publication was having tho affair written up and Illustrated. "I said I hnd seen tho picture of tha fight which hnd been prepared for it. He wns pleased at tho publicity that the fight wns to get, for tho story of the affair at the club had beon printed, and ho wanted It known thnt his son had avenged the intuit.

A deal wan consummated Friday by which (he Madison group nf three claims, tho proporty of J, 0 ISaton, was sold to McOnaig, Rykort &. Co., of Muutreal. Tho Madison is considered one of tho best prospeots in tbo district and recent- development lias shown up somo extensive bodies of high grade oro. Only three weeks ago \V. W.

It was a cash transaction, of which the price said to be 820,000. -Kootenaiu. Cane Nome, Whilo reports uf a moro or less vague nature as Lo the richness of the Now Cape Nomo diggings havo been given to the outsido world, ouo of tho men best <|iialilled to speak with regard to tho camp bas been singularly quiot ou on tbo subject. This gentleman is John .1. llealy, general manager of the North American Transportation and Trading Company, now in Seattle, Yesterday, however, whilo sittiuginthe lobby of tho Butler hotel, Mr. Healy discussed Cape Nome iu a most interesting manner. "Capo Nome," lie said, "is a rich camp, Indeed, iL is so far as it been prospected, showing up as fabulously rich as the Klondike. In comparing tbo two camps ouo bus only to take into consideration the extent. If the mining area of tho district should prove us great iu extent, it is a second Klondike. The developed mines are just as rich, and this my company has known for many, months. We have re trained from telling of the country simply becauso we did not waut to precipitate a big rush, at least until it is known that thero is an abundance of pay ground iu that section. "In tho meantime however we know reports woro reaching tho outsido in the shapo of letters from thoso mining there. Innumerable letters have been received, moro iu Seattlo, perhaps, than iu auy other ono city. Already, there aro many evidences of tho work of theso letters. I'eoplo are slip ping into Seattle fiom all parts of tho Union, and quietly making arrange merits to got to tho new diggings, "As early as November wo received a lot of tho Capo Nomo gold at our St. Michael storo. About 81.800 worth camo out, aud was put in general circulation. The stuff is of rather peculiar quality, and I should say runs auywnySlO per ounce. Itis not scale gold, but rather what might, in mining parlance be termed honeycomb gold. To my notion this gold got into Cape Nome without traveling far. perhaps not to exceed flvo or six miles, and somo of it possibly not over a mile. The friction indications show this, lt is neither coarse uor shot gold, though I think tbo former abounds in tbe camp. Thn Cape Nome quality thus far taken out is of such naturo as will save In tho Ilrst length of the sluice box without tho use of quicksilver. Muoh of it will lodge within six feet of where tho dump product is emptied into the box. Some, of course, goos farther. When tho first news of the discovery began to sift out, last November or December, ovory loose mau ground St Michael and on tho lowor Yukon began to rush to the new camp. Tho Laps deserted tho employ of tho government and went pell mell to the diggings. Olaims early in the winter began to havo, according to their holders, big values. Our agents have authority to buy mines, and they were frequently askod $50,000 for asinglo Gap.o Nome property. But tho claims in that camp havo some extent, containing, according to the American laws, twenty acres. "The so-called Capo Nomo district is divided into Tour divisions, each twenty miles square. And there is a big difference botween a 000-foot Klondiko claim and a 20-acro Oapo Nome proporty. The result is going to bo that when tho news of tho winter's work comes out there will bo a big exodus from tho Klondike to American Cape Nomo. And I have no hesitancy in saying that thero will bo 10,000 peoplo In tho camp by October 1. "In my opinion wo aro going to hear great news from tho Kuskobwin, tho Koyokulkand tbo Tanana beforetho closo of tho summer season, and it will bo another case of tho world boing on fire again in a mining excitement way. Tho Klondike's restrictive meusures aro driving mnny miners into American territory. "Thero will be 100,000 miners prospecting for gold in Alaska within ten years. Thut is my prediction. I hope you will remember it. Yes, 100,000 strong, hardy meu, pick and shovel iu hand, will bo browsing the mountains uud valleys. They will bo makiug in tho capacity of mino wage workers and as miners on their own account au average of $5 per day. That means that for overy day's toll 3500,000 at the least calculation and uo doubt very muoh moro will bo added every twenty- four hours to tho world's circulating medium. Ii is true that the farmer produces, ani so also does the miner. Stop tho miner and the circulating medium or the world come.', loan end very quickly. There aro threo classes of men, to my mind, especially deserving of legislative protection, although I am sorry to say that tho protection too often takes tho form of restrictive measures in tbe matter of the prosecution of their several pursuits. I refer to the prospector, the trapper and tho soldier. Tho latter guards the prospector and tho trapper as thoy open up tho country. But for tlicm Alaska would oven now bo littlo known." P. 1.

A document was found tbat clearly gives control of tho island to the Dominion, which has leased it to Theo.

Loch jew. Lockjaw when caused by a wound has long been considered incurable, aud it is only of late yonrs thut a few instances of successful treatment have beon recorded, tho most striking being thoso elfected by tho Indian woo- rali poison aud by enormous doses of alchohol, Two cases nre reported iu which all the alarming symptoms were removed by violent perspiration. The first was thut of a youug man of twenty two who had tho misfortune of having his band caught in the gearing of a threshing machine: part of tho skin was carried off, but in the courso of a fort night everything seemed progressing toward a speody cure, when ouo morning tho patient awoke with a strange rigidity in his jaws, violent pain all over the sternum, intermittent difficulty iu breathing and convulsive start--, in tho lower limbs. A doctor being called in, ho immediately pro ceeded to throw tbo patient into u violent perspiration. On tho fifth day all tetanic symptoms had disappeared except a littlo stiffness iu tho jaws. The patient was in a stato of prostration, which was, however, removed by good nourishment, uud a few days after al) traces of tho dangerous affection had disappeared. Tho second caso was tbat of a day laborer, who, when the doctor came, appeared iu a dying stato. Ho at first denied having any wound, but upon examination an injury caused by a hobnail was discovered on one of his groat toes, a circumstance the patient hnd forgotten. The treatment was the samo and attended with tho samo result.-Loudon Globo. Building Activity. Hundreds of men are at present employed on tho construction of the Col umbia & Westorn railway (C.P.R.) from Robson to Midway, lt is expected that tho track layers will reach Grand Forks early in July. Tho charter does not permit the C.P.R. to go within ono hundred miles of tho international boundary lino. Therefore to reach tho Boundary district it is necessary to cross mountains, bore tunnels aud build a road bod that costs for many miles of tho distanco over $.12,000 per milo. From Robson, wliich is at an elevation of 1,400 foet, the road climbs to McRao creek summit, at an elevation of-1,000 feet. Then it comog down to Cascade at 1,500 feot, with auother climb to un elevation of 11,100 feet over Eholt summit, and down again to Midway which is at an elevation of 1,000 feet.

THB SCHOOL HOUSE. Last week we published an article uudor the above heading to whioh exception has boen taken by tbe council of publiu instruction, whioh may be seen by the following letter: Victoria, Juuo 4,1890. "Editor Ashcroft Journal,—Sir:— My attention has been drawn to an article in your issue of the 3rd inst in whioh you stato that the members of tho School Board inform you that tbey cannot get a reply even to their letters of enquiry regarding tbo matter. This statement is entirely without foundation. Will you kindly nsk the members of the School Bourd wbo gave you this information, the dates of any letters which hnvo not been answered by the Depart ment of Education, and the names of the writers, I hopo that you will Lnke pains to correct in your paper tho very orronoous statements contained in tbo said article. I have tho honour to be. Sir, Your obedient servant, Jobeh. Martin For the Council of Public Instruction." Tbe secretary of the local school board informs us that two letters of his, written about one month and two weeks ago, respectively, addressed to the Department of Lands and Works, remain unanswered. Tbe writer of the letters referred to was Mr. Walter Sbaw, secretary ot the school board who would receive any communications from the department bad they hcon written. Therefore wo oan tako on no further 'pains" but still maintain that there is a case of gross negligence lurking somewhere adjacent to tho Capitol building. Sinco the above was put in type we aro informed tbat the secretary has received au answer to tbe Ilrst of tho above-mentioned neglected letters. As tho nnswer is of iuterost and also sustains our contention ot uogligence we annex it: Victoria, June 7,1890. Sir: In reply to your letter of tho l.ltfa ultimo, I have to inform you that tenders will at once bo callod for tho construction of u two-room school houso on the present sito. Tho present school building, if uot required, will be sold, I have tho honor to bo, sir, your obedient servant, F. C. Gamble, Public Works Engineor. A DENIAL. To The Editor Sir: It has been stated in Ashcroft that a letter exists proving that I was a candidate for the position of Deputy Attorney General of this Province. This I wish to emphatically deny. I was neither an applicant myself nor did I make an application for the position on behalf of any one else, Denis Murphy. Embezzlen Sentenced. Trail, B. C, June 8.-J. W. Brewster, formerly agent for the Canadian Pacific Railway company ac this place, and J. H, Sinclair, bis assistant, were yesterday found guilty of embezzlement of tbe funds of the railway oompany, and sentenced respectively to 1"> months' and two years and six months' imprisonment, with hard labor. Brewster's sentence was somewhat mitigated, as the evidence showed that he was largely influenced by Sinclair. the latter lied to Spokane, Wash., but was extradioted after a bitter fight, whereas the former was arrested here shortly after the discovery ofthe shortage. Strenuous efforts were made by Brewster's friends to effect a settlement with tbe C. P. R. Company, but without avail, as tbe case was put in the hands of the crown-attorney. J. H.

John .Shields received a quantity of tobacco seed direct from Key West, Florida, tbis week and has had it sown on the B. X. proporty at tho south ond of town. Tho experiment will bo watched with interest by many. According to the Kamloops Standard the sawmill which is to bo built by Mr. Shields will be erected at or near that town.

Gillis left for Greenwood last week whero ho looked into tbe possibilities of tho freighting business. Not boing well satisfied with the prospects, he decided to como home, and returned hero Thursday night. A number of the trees which were planted this spring aro noticed to be dead. It would bo well for those who havo such in front of tbeir premises to replace them, and, with proper attention thoy will soon develop. Give them plenty of wator eaoh ovening and no dead trees will bo found in town. The well-known prospector, Hugh M..Kiui.oii, passed away at tho Royal Iulaud hospital ou Friday. The deceased was woll liked and muoh respected. His death was very sudden, but Is supposed to bavo been indirectly caused by a fall ho had from his horse somo weeks ago. Mr. McKinnon was born in Scotland aud was ".2 years old.- Standard. A Pioneer ol '88. After a very short illness and very suddenly, Mr. Peter Leech, one of the best known and most highly respected oltizens of Victoria, died Tuesday evening at the Jubilee Hospital. Mr. 1>ech had been suffering from pneumonia for a few days, but was sufficiently well to be out on Monday. In the evening of that day his sufferings increased and it was deemed wise to remove him to the Jubilee Hospital. The disease increased witb remarkable rapidity and death supervened as stated. Mr. Leoch has been a resident of British Columbia since 1858, coming from England with the Royal Engl neers undor Col. Moody. He remained witb the command until its disband- ment in 1862, and then engaged in the practice of his profession as an engineer and surveyor. When the overland telegraph line was projected he was one of the party of surveyors, and when that was abandoned on the com pletion of the laying of tho Atlantic cable, ho entered the Hudson's Bay Company's service, taking oharge of of the Esquimalt post. In the eighties he was appointed city engineer of Viotorla, a position he re talned until 1802. Mr. Leech has been identified with many of the most important enterprises In tho province, and his great age and wide experience made him an authority on engineering work. -Times. Several months ngo 8.100 was granted to tlio town of Ashcroft for street repairs. That this was an insufficient sum may havo boou noticed during the recent wet weather. Railway avenuo wat graded from below the West End House to tho Cariboo Exchange, a distance of nbout ."iDii yards, buttoamsters would prefer driving around to going over this newly built road. From the Cariboo Exchange to the Waterworks office the road is one mass of water holes in wot weather, as is also tho road south from the West End House. An action upon theso necessities will require ouly about one minute of tho timo of tho Provincial Government. Wo would like to havo them devoto those sixty seconds to us.
