The Columbia company, owing to scarcity of wator, did littlo moro than prospeotiug tho past summer, tho yield of gold being 8800. The ground is roportod rich. It is the intention to utilize a larger and moro permanent supply of water to permit of more oxtou- slve operations, SIWABU CREEK. This crook is a tributary of the Frasor, aod empties iuto that river i\« miles abovo Yalo. It is situated ou the left bauk and is reached by menus of a oable. A good trail leads to the mines. A largo amount of gold wus taken from this stream in early days, where suitl- cieutly favorable couditious existed for its extraotiou. The heavy How of water encountered iu sinking has prevented tbo deep ground from beiug bottomed, notwithstaudiug many attempts to overcomo this obstacle. However, a few miners still persist iu attempts to reach bedrock. Most of the mining leaseholds have had littlo or no work douo on them for the samo reason as above stated—too largo a quantity of wator to handle. FIVE MILE CREEK. A largo camp of Cbiucso miuers aro working hero, obtaining moderate wages. EIGHT MILE CREEK. Messrs. Hogar and Gardner have undergone cousiderable expense in bringing water on this property, which is an hydraulic miuiug leasehold of about 10 acres. The summer's work bus proved to be unprovable: but littlo gold was obtained, although a large amount of gravol was washed, Indians and Chinese, also a few whites, wero rooking in this vicinity. BOSTON BAH—-OTTAWA MINING it MILLING COMPANY. This company was prepared to wash about the ond of Juno last, but in con- soquonce of tho exceptionally dry seasou, and accidents to tho flume by laud slides, the monitor was kept at work for only about throo woeks. Tho wash- ups amounted to 81,880, which was a vory good return, considering tho disadvantages encountered. Tho company is fully satisfied with tho richness of its ground. WENDELL COMI'ANV. This company's property is close to -1-Mile Crook, whence tho necessary supply of wator is obtained. Thoy woro ongagod ingronnd-sluiciug fora short timo, but had to shut down owing to shortness of water. NORTH BEND. Two miniug leaseholds havo beeu granted in tbo vicinity of North Bend, ouo opposito Salmon river, tho other near Keefers. Tho gravol in the last mentioned is reported us being rich. The gold found is coarse. Miuiug has boon carried ou to a considerable extent betwoou North Bond and Lytton. Keefers, Cisco, Kanaka Bar aud Lytton aro localities mined principally by Iudiaus with rockers. LYTTON. Mr. T, Earl has secured ft lease of grouud formerly iu tho possession of tho Van Winkle mining company. BUAL CLAIM. This proporty, situated opposite Lytton, has boeu leased by Mr. L-Vuson, who is experimenting with tho Mow- man gold saving machine, a device for saving tho flue particles of gold whioh aro usually carried through tho sluice boxes and lost. RIVER tmEDGINQ. Tho Boatty Co. aro constructing aft Boston Bar a scoop dredge, provldud with powerful machinery. This is a kind of drodgo muoh used for harbor excavations, Tho shovel, whioh is under perfect control of tho machiuery. can bo swung around and submerged anywhere within a certain radius, aud is capablo of bringing up at oach hoist ten tons of gravol. This ia deposited iu sluico boxes aud washed. Tho large boulders aro to bo hoisted on scows and dumped at udistancodownstream, By this means tho scoop will bo ablo to perform its work in a much moro e(Il cieut manner. This schemo seems to possess more features oapablo of attaining success than any of the others, whero tho strong current can bo avoided. Tho following is tho yield of gold tho past year for tho Yalo division of Yalo District, which Is perfectly roliable, being tho rospectivo amounts purchased by tho morohants at tho different poiuts mentioned: Agassi/ 8 COO Hope 11: Yale 18,1150 Kpii/.zum 8,0_u Norlli Bend 2,1112 Koofor'a 8,200 Lyttou U.oaO Qpunoo'a Bridge 1,210 Ashcroft -.

Tbo lodges show well in gold and copper. The assays run from $.1 to 810 per tou and improving with depth. Theso properties aro own od principally by Ashcroft pooplo, Messrs. Bryson, Doans, Smith, Stowart, Burr and others. At Keefers over 8100 was takon outby tho Ashcroft Gold Mining Co. before a shortago of water compelled a cessation of work. A now ditch is contemplated that will give a bonntiful supply and will make a valuable hydraulic property of it. Tho Boatty dredge mentioned in tho report above, has been completed aud is iu successful operation proving, wo bolieve, a completo success. The Ottawa company, operatinga hydraulic on Boston Bar, washed up betweon 8-4,000 and 85,000 this season and wo understand thoy will put in a per- mauout supply ofwoter. Messrs. Hondorson and Webb are arranging for a large hydraulic company ou Boston Bar ranch, Ou tho Thompson river, near Thompson's siding, good quartz ledges have boon discovered nnd are being developed. Work iu Highland valley on copper ledges is soon to be renewed. Lytton lias some good quartz ledges and Stump Lake ia again awakening iuterost. Miuing on Scotty creek is in full swing and on tho Bonaparte much work has boon done, Yalo Distriot will yot prove to be a successful sootion for quartz, as well as for placer mining. CLINTON. Mr. J. Wrou has Btaked out a qjnartz lodgo somo ton miles from town. Tho ledgo Is forty foet wide and the assay gives return of gold and silver. A lire occurred at Poster'a ranch, four miles from town. It completely demolished the stable and all the harness, solfbinder, cultivator and eleven tons of hay. Through the heroic efforts of tho Goss brothers the house and a stack of hay was saved. No one knows tho origin of tho lire. Tho loss ia estimated at 8200. Tho Goss brothers will shortly remove tbeir saw mill to Dog Crook, whero thoy will likely saw somo 200,000 feet of lumber. Stickine Route In Order* J. H, Brownleo has roturnod from tho Stickiuo routo aud Caasair district, whoro ho has boeu surveying for sov- al months. Mr. Brownleo Bays provisions woro vory soarce in some parts of Cassiar whon ho left. He knew one instance whoro Hour was sold at 25 cents a cup. Thero was actual suffering thoro. Tho Cassiar Central peoplo aro spending a largo amount of money prospeotiug tho country, and havo struck ono vory promising quartz claim on Eagle rivor, south of Deaso lake, Tho ontlro trail from Telegraph to Tesliu, 175 milos, has boen completed, with 25 miles of wagon road out of Telegraph. Tho boggy ground has all been overcomo, and freight can uow bo hauled as cheaply this way as any other routo, Tho Maltlond Kersey Steamers will ruu rcgulary hereafter from Toslln to Dawson. Mr. Browuloo, who was far beyond Toslln lako, Bays tho Toslln routo is a simple oue now, and from the fact that thoro is scarcity, moro or Icbs, of pack horsos on tho Skaguay route, owing to the Pine Creek Btrlke, tho Stickiuo should bo tho popular routo to Dawson from thla on. World. QUEflNBLLB PORKS, Messrs. McGregor, Vieth and other owners aro still pushing work drifting ou Spanish creek. It is stated that $30* 000 has boen taken out of this proporty since work Was oommonood on it, uiid that while a poor drifting claim it oould bo mado a highly valuable hydraulic property. il, McDonald has recently discovered and located ou or noar tho summit of tho Snowshoo mountain three quart/, lodges, all of which aro said to show up remarkably strong, and samples t rom which show gold, on crushing and panning out, in good quantities- The lodges aro said to vary from 8 to is toot in width, and already a pnrly of capitalists havo secured a bond on the properties and have gono In 11> examine thom. Thore aro other mines iu this section and iu (he minds of the woll informed Ihere is no question of there being quart/, in Cariboo and ledges that will stand the tost of development, The mill at tho Horaofly Is reported as having beeu closed down, one reason alleged for tho same being that good help was uot available. At tho Cariboo mino a rock out 20 foot deep has boon made su that the old channel can he washed down to bodrock and lho working flumes are now iu placo and the rich dirt being rushed through. Tho amount ofthe full washup at this mino it is generally believed will bo large, somo sny from 8100,000 to 8150,000, but tliis Is of courso all guoss work. It is however kuown that ono ton-inch streak of gravel was found iu tho workings that is very rich, said to avorago more than 880 tu tho yard. The water is holding out unusually well. Moorehead ditoh, under the directum of engineer Warner is boiug pushed rapidly along, Tho contractors have linishod tho masonry work at tho dam aud Messrs. Pouporo and McVeigh have this work woll in hand aud it will bo completed ithiu a fow weeks. Next season tho water syBtom of this great, hydraulic mino will-bo so that one eau travel about 31. miles along a canal II feet wide on top, 7 feet on tho bottom, and feet deep, aud thoro will bo enough water iu the reservoirs to koop the ditch flllod for constant'work, night and day for 150 days or more. Tho Golden River Quosnelle Company have not yet closed dowu their gates siuco high wator, having been delayed iu getting in their machinery through tho failure of the B. C. Irou but some of thc machinery is now on the way in, and in about 18 or 20 days mining is expected to begin in earnest. Thore aro many problems yet to solve in connection with the successful working of chis property, and no doubt tbey will receive careful consideration. Ono thing scorns very certain nnd that is that tbo work of Mas* •srs. Hunter, tho engineer, and Nixon, tho foreman, has boon Well dono, aud that if a practicable way eau be found for working the river bed it will make a highly valuable property. Heavy machinery will, it is said, be installed ut onoo aud a vigorous effort to move tho old rivor bottom gravel will be made. Prospecting basso far givon excellent results.

Tho work of tho college is steadily progressing, and a largo measure of success is undoubtedly beforo it.

The work of tho college is extensive and embraces all courses of study up to tbo dogroo of B. A.

There aro failures made in nil professions aud mistakes iu the best laid plans, The southern end of Caiihoo i tho return of tlie Klondiko break- downers with sympathy, but understands that these failures aro iu tho natural order of things, Most of tho prospectors" who retire beaten from tho task of penetrating tho couutry which lies botween Queanello and the goldon north, go down tho river Trom Quesnelle In boats toSodaCroekwhero thoy once more resort to shank's inure and go full speed ahead to Ashoroft, cursing tho oountry as thoy go. This oausos no one in Caribou any wonder. Tho surprising thing is that so many oftho utterly green bunds who essayed the overlaud journey seem to havo gone through all right. With thoso who knew what was what in tho way of packing and tending their pack trains, there was hardly a ditiloult feature pro sontod by tbo long journey. Those, on tho othor baud, who havonooxperleuco and aro looking for a kind of pleasure trip had better stay at homo. Notices of the petition lodged against the return of Gonoral Klnohaut and ftl r. Helgeson huvo beon posted up through the district, Tho petition seems to bo viewed with general disfavor. It has heen a matter for remark that tbo lato election iu Cariboo was tho cleanest ever known, Should this petition bo gone on with it will bo tho Ilrst timo anything of tho kind has boon dono in Cariboo. A petition was threatened ngninst tho return of Dr. Watt In 1892 but came to nothing and this sort of warfare will never become popular in a district like this whoro treating, at least, is universally looked upon with favor in anyone. Wn.i There Fiml Play? Tho disappearance, of Sir Arthur' Curtis last spriug on tho Ashoroft trail which was supposed at tho timo to be duo to his wandering away from the road aud losing himself in tho woods, has of lato aroused suspioiou among the miners at Hazoltou and contiguous camps that bis sudden disappearance may have boou duo to othor causes. Tho explanation givon by his party was from tho lirst considered a vory improbable ono by thoso familiar witb packing on ill-defined trails. It was stated by his party that awakening in In tlio morning and finding tbe horses gono tho men scattered in search of tiie missing animals. Finally thoy wero recaptured aud brought back to camp, and that thinking Sir Arthur Would turn up shortly tho party proceeded, leaving a horso saddled ready for tho missing mau wheu ho should return. Aftor traveling uutil noon without his overtaking them, thoydo- ilded to return, and reached tho site of the camp at night Tho statement mado by them that Curtis was such au iudifi'erout woods man that ho would bo lost as soou as lie was out of sight of tho trail renders more Inexplicable liis conduct iu leaving it, for iu othor respects ho was a bright aud capablo follow. A soarch exteudiug ovor twouty-slx days was carried out, but tho reward of 8100 was too small to attract tho bost Indians, and thoso who did volunteer woro too lazy Tor thoir work. Tt is also alleged by tho miners that Sir Arthur's partners soom now to havo plenty of monoy, although thoy confessed that at n certain point on the trail thoy had been "broko." A vigorous investigation will have to bo carried out before the uneasy Buspirone wbicb have been aroused in tbo minds of many of tho Hazelton men lan bo allayed. Victoria Times. We do uot think from what information we bavo had on the subject, tbat there is any reason to believe that tbo loss of Sir Arthur Curtis was anything but tho result of foolish judgment on thc part of both tho man lost and of the party. Ho was lost along Mud river, and thoro are many places, wo aao assured by suoh authorities as Charles Poquet, tho packer and trap- por, who Is perfectly familiar with the portion of Mud rivor referred to, whoro if a man slipped from a log in trying to cross tho stream his body would disappear In tho oozo and mud, or in high water, as it was then, bo carried dowu stream, perhaps to the Prasor, Inch seldom gives up its dead. The man Pocock was no more lit to load a party than a child, but no ono who knows him would believo ho had disposition to commit a orimo of the kind. Tho story ia told of him that when he was a inombor of the mounted police, ho was in a forced march ou horseback on a vory cold day, forty or moro below zero, and complained to his officer that ho was freezing. On being told to dismount thou and warm himself by walking ho replied that he would rather freeze like a gontleman than run ou foot liko a dog. Sir Arthur Curtis was a man of small meaus and it i. said by his friends did uot -von keep a horso, It is extremely un- ikciy that he had much money with him. Tho party spout for horses and outfltst, probably 88,000, in this section, much of which was foolishly spent, by tho way, Tho party, after Mr. Curtis' loss divided up into small parties aud continued on, with the ex- icptton of Pocock. Wo believe the loss of the unfortunato man was caused by foolhardiuoss of both himself aud party, but do nut think murder or highway robbery was resorted to, nor do we think tho men who accompanied him are of lho type that such criminality Is found araouu, Thoy were simply lot of overgrown boys and had no more conception of a trip of the kind than babe*, would have had. Wo believo the leavlnft of camp after Curtis was lost wits directly the result of Pollock's Instructions, who up to that time was leader of the party, as ho stated himself to a JOURNAL representative that ho gavo tho ordor to "march." It seems that the oompany was carrying oUt somo Wind ot military order. Thoy marched when told to and halted whon so ordered, in military style, but from the stories told it is evident that many cursed tho commander, Captaiu Pocock, in a very uusoldiorliko manner, BARKBR VILLI-. Work is still progressing on tho grouud of tlie Cariboo Gold Fields company, and good work is boing dono. Waler for elevating is holding out remarkably well. A fair amount of gold, it is expected, will lio washed up, but nothing this season to what may bo looked for after this proporty bas boen thoroughly opened. Pipe is boing rapidly gotten in for tho hydraulic work near the lowor end of tho road loading through Devil's canyon, by Messrs, Campbell and others. Houses have been built and quito a largo forco of mon are engaged iu making ready for opening up this extensive property. Tho claims of Poison _.

Whore this rich pay streak is found tho gravol bauk Is abont 25 feet iu depth und near tho bottom heavy boulders are found.

Ho has gouo to Victoria and on his re turu will bring in a machine for dry washing which ho thinks will ba a success, aud handle a largo amount of gravol. Tho machine will cost about 8250. It is a hard proposition to advance to old minors fthut grouud uau he worked for gold to advantage without wator, but this is a progressive age and we wilt wait aud watch Mr, Hall's ell'orts.

The success of auy uuder- takiug or tho success of a new country depends entirely upou the amount of whiskey takon iu aud consumed there. It is a groat blotch upou the history of tho preseut day that whenever a ship load of mon leave home for a uew country, either for miniug or agricultural purposes, ushipload of whiskey has to lio pushed up after them, and saloons spread aloug tho route. We contend that a mau who cannot do without bis drink is no man at all, aud that he should go aud die somewhere, for all tho good ho is to himself or any other person. Now tlio idea of opening up a saloon iu tho Bridge river country, as is stated by tho Lillooet Prospector, struck our mind as ouo of tho most absurd and re- diculous acts that could be contemplated by any civilized man. Does that mau "of experience and recommendations" think that thc miners would prospect better and find better claims if tlicy aro perpetually saturated with liquor, or is ho about to do this for his own special benefit? Does ho expect to mako a fortune by it? What does "experience" mean in a saloon life, is it the mau who eau sell tho most liquor and draw iu fhe most mouoy from tho poor miners, some of whom havo not enough money to renew their grub stake wheu it runs short, or does it meau one who is strong enough and able enough to take the inebriate whom lio has brought to this deplorable condition, by tho shoulders and push him out iuto tho uight whon bis money gone and it is closiug time? If it is nono of theso, wo fail to see where the experience is required to band one glass of whiskey after another across tho bar. Wo bopo the people of Lii looet aud the government of B. (J, will givo this serious matter a. proper consideration and refuse to grant to any party a liquor license for tho Bridge rivor couutry. Leavo Bridge river uloue, siic is doing woll enough as she Is. Yours truly, R, CUIIMINO. New Clikt Justice. Ottawa, Aug. 22.

Sir: It may lie news to at least some of tlie readers of your paper to know tlint tliero is au organization known us tbo Universal Brotherhood; whose main object Is to demonstrate that brotherhood ib a fact in nature and to make it a living powor in tho lives ui' ouch one. A subsidiary object is tho study of unclontandmod- orn sciences and philosophies, at tho same limo extending to others that tolerance for their opinions thut ono expects for his own. It is plain to everyone that true brotherhood cannot exist so'long as any one religious sect say thoy have a monopoly of tho truth and that nil must accept their Idea or salvation. !i' wo will notice tiio different great religions of tlie world and their origin, we will Uiul that they were till given out liy the same class of men. For Instanco, Confucius, the' great teacher of tho ancient Chinese, gave out u very high line of ethics and wrote a great many books. Buddha gavo to ancient tnditl a system of thought, the magnitude and scope of which him never boen equalled. Jesus, the hist of the groat tenohers, came with a message of lovn and restoration. Ilo came wit hu peculiarly helpful ami penetrating powor that drew all pooplo unto him. Then* havo been many other teachers both before and since those mentioned, who have had tbe good of humanity at heart aud havo tried to drive out solflshnesa nud all kindred evils. At this lime a largo majority of the people uro saying wo hnvo religion enough and look upon uny now movement with distrust and who can blame them, When wo look nl. the Chinese wo boo thoy tire not foi During the last week between 800 und' '.100 additional men have beeu secured by Messrs, Muun, Foley Bros, it Larson, am! pul to work on iho Robson-Pontlcton branch of tlie Columbia & Western Railway. Tito ugonls of the contractors in Victoria, Vancouver, Sau'Fraucisco, Boston, New York and elsewhere, report good success in seciirlug men for tho work, and iu a comparatively short time they expect to get all tho laborers needed, The price offered is the uniform one of 82 por day, aud tbe contractors advance transportation to Brooklyn, One agent located at Boston, wired that lie hud just sent forward 300 men, and moro will doubtless follow. Fair progress is being mado on ths work all along tho line, and tho toto road is now completed for about 25 milos to Christina lake. Progress on this tote roud is a little slower just uow, its tho men have oncountorod considerable rock work. Men are strung out all ovor the contract getting out ties, of whioh ubout .100,000 will be required. One bait' of .thoso aro contracted for by Gonollo & Co., and the balance by Mcpherson Bros. &, Stoat." Six kinds of timber ecu be used for this work—hemlock, spruce, red Hr, cedar, tamarack, pine. Many men are being lidded to tho force of tie makers continually, some preferring this class of work, Every camp ts gradually but surely increasing the number "f workmen employed, and consequently tiie contractor;*, uro beginning to wear u more beatific smilo lis a rule. As soon as the harvest is over I !iei;e will undoubtedly bo nil the help needed, As it is, tho daily arrivals will now uverafto between :i0 and d0 men. Brooklyn News. The Iain-fid ol Vnp. Yap, one of tlie Caroline islands, has become a place of growing interest to tlio American peoplo because of its possiblo use us u naval station by the United States us a result of their pro- sent war with Spain. Au interesting description of tbis island is contained in u recent report to the state department in regard to the Caroline Islands. Yap," says tbis report, "is surrounded by u coral reef thirty-live miles long by live broad. There are hardly auy rlvu lets, but inland are extensive swamps carefully planted with fctho wator-taro (colo- ctisiai. The island is full of relies of a vanished chelation- old cm- bnnknumts ond terraces, sites of ancient cultivation, stone-paved roads, paos or ancient platforms of stone, raced with huge oU'Oul.irquarts, wheels, sot up at their sides: enormous council lodges of quaint dosigu, with bold, high and projecting gables, and lofty cavern pillars. Walls of ancient lish ponds aud stone weirs Iill tlio lagoon between the reef and tho shore, making navigation a diflicult matter. There are some 8,000 natives on Yap kindly, Industrious and generally poaooable folk, very dark m color, aud speaking in quaint and barbarous dialect, much akin to that of the Pelews, yot with a certain family likeness to the isles farther eastward, where tlie Polynesian iuflltra- t ion appears to bavo been fairly strong."

Tbo lirst fatality in tho construction of tho-Eobson-Pouticton branch of the < 'olumbia & Weston; railway occurred yesterday at a point about seven miles bolow Brooklyn, whou Johu Lewis Wilson, a native of Sweden, was hurled to almost instant death, life becoming extinct in about thirty minutes. Wilson, who was employed on the sub-contract of Vernon W. Smith near Mccormick's Landing, had been at work about, six weeks, and was busy in the rock out at 11.30 yesterday morning, whon a rock weighing 500 or (SOO pounds, loosened by a blast, struck and hurled him into the abyss bolow. Tho body fell some 400 feet dowu the stoop mountain sido toward tho lake mid Wiloou lived ouly half an hour thereafter. Frank Williams, tin old time friend of Wilsou, was with him when tlio un fortunate accident occurred, and came to Brooklyn to arraagofor tho funeral, Tiie remains were sh ipped by steamer Kootenay to Nolson, accompanied by Mr. Wiili'ams, interment taking placo in that city.

Tho Brooklyn News,'a bright -1-pago paper, mado its appearance at our ox change tablo tbis week. As it des crtbes Brooklyn, it bus the outlook for a-good sized and prosperous town. Messrs. Cumlon, Uiokerts nnd Dun cer, who came buck from tbo 150-MUe Houso this week, have gono to Bridge rivor on mining business. While coming down they mado a qulok trip witb Chas. Haddock driving. It is rumored bere tbat His Worship Mayor Gordon, of Kamloops, has made arrangements for a secular library with view of being prepared to take ti the pulpit should be over havo a cull Some of ns would go a good ways to hero His Honor preach. Tbo camping parties ut Suvonus, Messrs. Shaw, Hawthorns and others report a highly enjoyable time. Wo bavo oateu somo of thoir lish aud any ono douhting their llsb storios. no mat ter how lnrge, will Hud that thoy havo ourselves aud oomo othors to deal witb. [.-■Arthur Haddock and Dick Stewart recoived returns from tbeir samples of rock taken from tholr quartz lodge on Bridge river and sent for nssay, this morning. Tbo returns wero $71.40 in gold, which goes to indicate tlmt tho boys have a valuable property D.T. Hughes, now nt tbe 150-M.Ho House, was roportod by tho passengers on Tuesday's stage ns slowly improving from bis sorious illness, but ho bus beeu very noar death's door. M: Hughes is ono of tbo most conservative miuiug men in British Columbia and has mnny friends in tlio province who will bo pleased to know of his im provoment. SI. McCabe, tbo managing director for tbe North American Iusiirauco Co., spent a fow days in Ashcroft and vicinity. Ho is interested iu tho Asbcroft Waterworks Co., and speaks highly of tbe work as dono under tho suporiu tondeuoe of Mr. J. Shields und of tbo couutry iu general. Ho rightly thinks tbat Ashoroft will soon bo recognized as a pluce of importance. School will reopen on Monday with Mr. Gordon as principal and Miss Hob erts as assistant. That new school bouse has not matcrilizod as yet but there Is a stroug hopo in the future, and now wo expect somo public buildings tbat bavo boou loug needed. Wo believo we slmll have them now whether tho new parliament buildings bavo a marble bust in oach room of British Columbia statesmen or not. The railroad charter for a road I'rom Asbcroft to Cariboo, which has been in existence for somo years, bas been taken over by nn English company and work on tho road may commence at anytime. It must begin beforo Juu. 1st or tbe charter will bo forfeited. By the terms of this charter a land grant of 10,000 acres per mile for a narrow gunge road and '-10,000 acres por mile for a broad gauge, is given by the gov eminent as n bonus, but no cash subsi dy. It Is believed thnt the road will be a narrow-guago and tbnt construe Uon from Ashcroft will begin within a few weoks. Thoro seems to bo no doubt us to tbo riohuoss of tbo Pino anil Spruce crook strikes. Theso crocks aro iu B, C, about 10 miles from tho northorn boundary, In a section known as north em CasBalr. Thero is a trail marked on tho map from tbo lower ond ot lake Tesliu across to the lower end of Atliu lake into which these rich crooks empty. The distance across, tf tbo maps are any way reliable, is about 10 or mites, aud If tbe trail is passablo across, it is very possiblo that many who traveled from Asbcroft overland and wm-o packing from Glenora to Tesliu lako may be in ou I In- ground floor on theso or other rich creeks In thnt section. ,h bis weok It sooms to bo believed timl. a now election will be ordered for the pro vlnco between tlio 8th mul Kith of October. Some dilllculty is boiug ouoouutorod in laying tlm water pipes, owing to tlm ground caving, but tho work is steadily progressing. All plposuro laid six Foet under ground. The Methodist society of Ashorort will soon begin tbo erection of npar Bonago, inn1 tlmt. will lm u credit to tlio placo, not large, imt comfortablo uud nicely planned, Tho outortaiumout given last ni, ut tho town hull by Miss White nnd Miss Kleisor was well attonded tind was vory favorably received by tbo audience. All pronounced it oxcollont. Tho prize lists for tbe annual fair are distributed from the Jiii*i:sal olllco liy tho energetic secretary. A good list of prizes isshowu. If by mistake you have failed to Hot one write to the secretary, Jos. Wm. 3urr, Thomas Allien, tho well kuown com mere iul traveler, visited Ashorofl tbis week on his way homo I'rom an extended trip. Mrs. Allloo and thoi boy (iccoinpnnieil hlm. Wo ventur the suggestion that Tom bus not called any high bluli's this trip, Mrs. Alice snys the trip bas been ti very pleasant one and the trip through tbe Kootenays pai-ticuiirly enjoyable. Charles. Cussidy. wbo left the Clul colon country with a band of cattle iu May, lias returned as i'ar us Victoria after a successful trip. Ilo states tlmt tho great rainfall being unusually heavy for the section made the trip a disagreeable one. Ilo lost but it tow head of cattlo. Mr. Oassldy says thut beef is selling at Cllonora for 20 cent per pound tit retail. fifteen mon are atwork on the drain tunnel on Lightning Creole and work is progressing woll. A good pieco of work bos so far been done and thoso In charge of tbo nlt'uiri of the company seem to be attending closely to the work nud pushing it as rapidly as possible. Among those well informed it seems to lio generally thought that rich ground may bc found oven boforo bedrock is reached. Tbo British Columbia Express Com pany, uudor tbo management of Jus B. Loigbton for tlio past yoar has boon ii decided success and has bad a largo business. Wo hoar no complaints of service nor of tho mail delivery, und it is fair tu presume tbat tliero is no dis satisfaction. The outlook for Curiboo travel bas never been so good siuco early days than at present, Much money will bo invested in Cariboo within tbo next twolvo months. Lac La Hacho will hold tbeir annual raco meeting on tho 17th aud If-tb of October. Tbo nicos uro going to bo very interesting, asscfei-ul dark horses are spoken of to enter against tho iu vincible Black Danger, but tho owner and jockey say lot them come. Danger has won tlio Derby three years in sue cession aud is u vory hard horso to beat. Ho was bred and raised by Mr. H.O. Bowo, Alkali lake, where you get somo moro just as good if not batter, t Rev. Mr. Thompson In Trouble. A good deal of space is devoted to the case of tho Kov. Thompson in tbis weeks Standard. Tho parties referred to, both Mi*, aud Mrs. Thompson, wero in Ashcroft this wook, Sirs. Thompson having como down to meet hor bus band ou bis return from Cariboo. Whether ho is guilty of tbo serious crimes apparently charged up against bim, or not, tiio statement that bo was married to tlio presont wife within a woek or less of the burial of bis lirst wifo is not disputed, und this fact alone will condemn hlm among decent peo pie. Tbo consummate gall of claiming to bo u minister and donning lho sacred clotb to preach, as bo did iu Kam loops, is remarkable A good story is told of an old Gorman wbo was married to bis second wifo a few days after the death'of his first. Tho neighboring youngsters turned out to charivari him and bo solemnly objected. "Poys," said bo. "It is not right to make sucli a noise around hero so soon alter the funeral." Tho caso against Thompson seems to bo a stroug suspicion that bo poisoned or mado away with liis flrst wifo so that lio could marry tho present one, and further, that within a few days hor child by a previous marriage, a. boy of oight years, died suddenly and under suspicious circumstances, These occurrences woro in Massachusetts, There may have been uu murder con mittod, but it is evident from tbo press roports that tbo occurrence caused serious suspicions lo arise tbat aro now being investigated, und lhal the quick marriage after bis wife's death, with whom bo was thou living, to tlio woman now his wife had at least aroused sucli indignation in the community that it was no longer a desirable community in which to reside. Cariboo reador.- will remember the man as coming down on last Tuesday's stage, a small, dark man, whose actions, so say his Follow- passengers, wero far From miiiistcriui. He was canvassing Cariboo iu tbo interest of tbo Inland Sentinel. Down Prom the Forks. Lord Norbury, wbo bas boon spending t he past ten weeks iu Cariboo, came down ou Tuesday s stago and wont ou to tbe const next morning aud will soon leave for l.tiglund. To a representative of tho iTouiiNAii Lord Norbury stated thnt for tlio past oinhl yours ho had been interested iu British Columbia mines, ami al'ler spending the past two ami a bull' mouths in llio vicinity f Quosuollo forks be loaves the couutry moro profoundly impressed with its golden future than ovor before. Ho bus spout some weeks in prospecting the bod of Quosuollo rivor from tho lowor olid of Mr. Souther's claims, whicli OXI end i'rom tbo Forks down ten miles, to tho lower end oftho claims secured by himself, comprising two live milo leases.*. Ilo has men still at work and will yet this season sond in tho machinery for a shovel dredgo. Ho slates that all prospecting on tlio river has shown up wonderfully rich gravol in places, aud with proper appliances lie docs not see how u failure can bo made iu river dredging ou tbo streams of Cariboo. lie is also a stock bolder iu the Golden River Quosuollo Company, and in half a dozen othor properties in the Quesuolle Forks section. Ho believes thnt; successful dredging can bo done in some of tho Inkos, as in Cariboo lake, iu which Harvoy, Gooso and other rich creeks empty, and it seems reasonable to think that us soon as gold strikes still water it would sot- tic. Tho outlets of all oE thoso crooks have formed bars, iu somo cases ox tending out half it milo to Jlio lake. A dredgo could do good work in such t placo in bis opinion. Ho is also inter osted in some hydraulic properties, all of which will receive early attoutiou. Lord Norbury's fellow passengers speak of him ns an extremely pleasant traveling companlou, and ho is evidently of tho kind of English nobility that can "do in Rome us tho Romans do." lie was clad iu overalls and light coat uiul looked as ho evidently is, n thorough business man and prospector wilh means to invest in legitimate on. torprlses, but none to be buncoed out of. Ho is tho Earl of Norbury, of Carl tou Park, Northamptonshire, England DREDUINU IN CARIBOO. W. J. Taylor, who is Interested in tho company known formerly as tlio Uudorwood Dredging Co., at Quesnollo, but whioh has been completely reorganized and is in uow bauds, passed through Ashcroft this wook. To tlio Journal Mr, Taylor stated that tho company would immediately begin the construction of a now bucket dredge for operation on tiio lower Quesuolle rivor, and that tlio dredgo would bo built on tho same plan as tho ono built. by tbo Milwaukee company and operating so successfully ou Grasshopper crook, Montiiun. Mr. Taylor is a practical machinist nud spent some months on Grasshopper crook last year studying tlio work iugs of tho dredgers there. Ho states that tbo ground of ths Frasor nud Quesuolle river beds nro not, iu bis judgment, harder to work thau is Grasshopper crook. The currents tiro swifter but that is uot a sorious thing to overcome, Tho prospecting doue by Mr. Taylor is such that ho is assured that the uppor Fraser and tiio Quesnelle is much richer in gold than tbo Montana stream. Mr. Robertson, tho expert for tbo Bocarus company, Milwaukee, bus been up to Cariboo lately and reported to bis company that thoy can make a complete success iu handling the river gravel aud the above mentioned company will mako a specialty of manufacturing gold dredgers for tbo rivors of Cariboo. Ono drodgo during Mr. Taylor's stay in Montana worked 00 hours. A total oxponso of 8200 wus tho oul lay, tbo gold recovery was 82,1150. This was only ono of a series of BUCCOSSful runs. Visitors aro rupidly concluding thnt tbo rivor boils of Cariboo aro t ho until nil sluice boxes of countless egos, and nro getting in lino to take part in I In- first clonning-up, which will tuko u hundred yours to accomplish, and will not be finished then. Mount hue those who secure favorable locations for dredging will, by tlio proper placing of machines, make golden fortunes.
