The day was vory pleasant for tho occasion and young aud old enjoyed themselves exceedingly. Quito a fow prizes woro given for races, etc., and tho ground was loaded with tho many delicacies which tho kind ladies of Quesnello contributed. Tho day's enjoyment ended by all singing "God Save the Quoon." A meeting of tho gonoral committee was hold iu tbo Bonding Room to discuss tho Diamond Jubilee celobratiou. It waa decided to bold tho principal part of tho colouration on the 1st. Tho comroittoos woro appointed to prepare ii programme and to manage tho several events of tho day's sports. Tho 22nd being so near lbe 1st it was thought better to combine both events, aud as many of our American friends must observe the Itli u combination of tho International sports has been mado, to occupy throe days. So we oxpoct to have a groat tlmo ou this occasion of tho colouration of tho sixtieth yoar of the most glorious reign in history. Nothing will bo left, undone to make tlie occasion worthy of tho event, and uotlvo und energetic ttommitlees are a guarantee that such will bo tbo cane. The steamer "Charlotte" will be engaged to curry excursionists from Soda Creok and Cottonwood. Posters will bo out in n fow days and fuller information will bo afforded tho general public. Mr. McCuskill is vigorously carrying ou the work on tho dredge Pioneer No. 1. Tho now scow is launched nud the crane aud dipper nro in position and took as though they will scoop up the channel of the Quesnello without much trouble. Tho Sjnoky. River Company havo one of tho scows well nigh completion. Mr. Cousins and two Indians started today for the scone of operation, taking a canoe. Mr. Cousins purposes going all tho way on the Fraser and will bo able to note any obstruction or difficulty that may bo encountered. He will tako about three weeks to roach the ground but may return in threo days. This company at tho present time seem to have men of prudence, forethought aud ahility at thc head of affairs. Mr. Betts, of tho Cottonwood Gold Mining Company, has completed the sixtoen-huudred foot tuuucl. It was a most difficult job in tho wny of engineering difficulties. From all accounts Mr. Betts engineering capabilities arc of a very high order. Mr. St. Laurent, road superintendent, loft here Thursday for a three week's trip and will bo busily at work looking after all the trails and roads on tho upper end of this section. Mr. John Stevenson, S. M. is still around collecting taxes. If nil the assessors of the provinco had half the energy of Mr. Stovonsou thero would bo vory Uttlo arrears recorded in government reports. Your correspondent was carefully mulcted to the sum of threo dollars. Dr. Callauau mado a professional visit to tho Cottonwood, whoro ono of tho men had been severely injured by tho fall of a tree. Mr. Cross, commercial traveler, of Vancouver, passed through to Burkcrvillo. Mr. Eddy Bell of Clinton drove up Mr. Rochdale of Victoria, ou a liko business. Tho weather for tho last two days was exceedingly warm. The thermometer today In tho shade registered 95 do- grecs. Tho prospect of a good shower would ploaso many, especially farmers. Tho rivers havo rapidly subsided bo- twoen four and five foot. They reached about the hoight of ttie high water in June last. It is believed thnt tbe Juno high water will not be much higncr thau at prosent. bo invidious to particularise Indvldual acts of bravery. A very pleasant picnic was held at Jones Lake on the 24th iust., und everyone enjoyed themselves.

THE MINING JOURNAL, $2A YEAR A fire occurred yesterday afternoon at St. Joseph's Mission, completely destroying tho harness shop with tho entire stock. Mr. Foster has charge of the shop and we regrot that ho lost his gold watch and also somo money. Tho cause of tbo fire is at present unknown. Mr. Foster has had a week of bad luck, only last Monday ho was overturned in his cart whilo ou his way to a picnic and sustained injuries to his head whioh spoiled his beauty for a fow days. Messrs. Cussnck and Mack loavo tomorrow for Lillooot on a prospecting trip. Wo all wish thorn luck, as rumour has it that a successful season will result in a change and wo trust a happy ono iu the latter gentleman's life. A concert is to bo hold on Juno 22nd at tho 150-Mile Houso und wo hnvo no doubt that auy attending from your section will bo amply ropaid for thoir troublo, as tho local talent hero is simply out of sight.

Burns who came up from the coast lust week—it is reported -hus received the appointment of provincial constable at Lillooot, in place of D. Hurly. resigned. Rev. P. Scott arrived in town last Saturday night from Revelstoke and held services in thc Presbyterian church last Sunday. It 'is probable that he will stay all the summer iu this field. About 1500 feet of work has so far boen dono on the Rivers mines. Ou the Ahearu proporty, the drift is in nearly 100 feet, and is now in good rock, aud seems to bid fair to make a highly valuable property. A telegram was received here last week from Nicola to look out for a man on his way to Ashcroft on horseback, us tho horso did not beloug to him. A man arriving from that sectiou has been arrested ou suspicion. There has boon no further develop - ments in the Indinn-Chineso murder case, which took place neur Lillooot last week. Several Indians buvo boen arrosted but nothing definite has been fouud out. Jos. Wm. Burr has tho wise in hand and will no doubt find tlie guilty party. ,\u Otta wa special says that the Canadian Pacific Railway and tho Government have practically arrived at an understanding regarding tho Crow's Nest Pass Railway. Mr. Shaughnessy, when interviewed, said that tht rond would probably bo comploted by the Fall of 1808. LYTTON, Mr. Frauds and sou from California arrived at Lytton last Thursday, and uro looking at tho mining property owned by local mining men opposite Gladwin on tho railway. It is probable that this property will bo takou tip and work started. Work is being prosecuted ou tho Lytton-Li lionet wagon rond under tho superintendence of R, Trodden. Work will last for nbout threo months, nnd it is expected to get ns far as Foster's bur. Miss Corbett nnd Nurse Jennie, for niorly nurses in tho hospital here, are visiting friends in Lytton for a few weeks. Charley Cisco, au Indian employed on Ihe Luul plucer elulm opposite town, wns seriously Injured lnst Saturdny by a largo boulder rolling dowu and smashing one of his legs. Or.

Lillooet. Xew arrivals every day and endless roll of express rigs testify to the boom on hero at present. Several of British Columbia's best experts have been here lately reporting on several groups. They like tho district above the Gol- dtfu Cjwhe immensely aud render its dips aud-tytrH-ws as among tho bost in tho district. Development work is being proceeded with ou several groups beyond tho granite bolt that extends for four miles up tho creek beyond the copper creek bolt.

Hor many friends unite in wishing her bon voyage nnd safe fturn. On Wednesday of last week, W. G. McMynu, provincial constable and mining recorder at Midway, was tried before Judge Spinks at Vernon, on the charge of shooting aud wounding' R. -1. Hood. Several witnesses wero called aud tho medical testimony showed that McMyun was mentally deranged, owing to a severe illness. In ncqultlng McMyun the judge dwelt tm the iiiitiiic of tho medical evidence, stating thut it was so conclusive that ho could do nothiug but acquit thc prisoner. A. G. Tuttle, while hastening to tbo dock at Everett, Wash., last Sunduy to meet the excursion from Tacoma, stopped on a stono, which turned nn der his foot, throwing him to thc grouud and breaking the small botics in bis right leg just above tho ankle.

I do not sec how this latter cal dilution can have been bused on any results hitherto obtained from gold dredging operations in British Columbia, which have been uniformly unsuccessful, and must be regarued as entirely visionary. Mr. Campbell-John- sou refers to this calculated yearly in- lomeas "tliis low conservative estimate of profits." Queen's .liilill. _ Celebration.

Why Not Here? The following is from the Chicago Times-Ilorald; Two years ngo the legislature of New York passed a law for bidding the practice of medicine by any person who has ever been convic tod of folony by nny court. Under Ibis law a man was indicted lor unlawfully practicing after he had been convicted of a crime. He interposed two dofen cos, ono that his conviction bad takou place before tho law wus passed, and tho othor that it deprived u person of tho right to earn a livelihood iu a recognized profession. Tlie defendant was convicted,uud the conrl of appeals sustains the conviction in a decision of great interest. It holds Ihat lhe legislature has power to prohibit lhe practice of medicine on lhe part of any person who has been convicleil or a felony either before or after tho passage of the law. The preservation of tbo public health is one or the highest functions of tho government, arid tho legislature may undoubtedly provide the mode by which in its judgment, the public health may be best protected. Ouo of these modes is tlie safeguards throwu around the practice of modi- clno, such as loarniug and character. Tho legislature may andshould require that thoso who practice medicine shall be persons of good moral oharaotor. The most delicate and important duties are ontrnstod to physl- ohms, Thoy are mlmiUeU into the help i tho luthof lusL March a party left Cor tho Queen Charlotte Islands gold hunting trip.

The Indians were in canoes, nnd from every point of the compass the attack was made, harpoon after harpoon striking into tho monster, which lashed the waters to foam in its desperate attempts to crush thc canoes and drown its tormentors. Having despatched their game, the Indians wero in a quandary as to getting the big fellow ashore. A small hawser was passed to the dead whale, whero it was attached to many harpoon ropes. The canoes were then hookod to each other bchiud thc levin thau aud tho procession started for Noah Buy, where it was met with great rejoicing by tho natives who hud re mained ut home.

The lymph which flows through nn automatic valve whou it in- •serts its proboscis, contains a modified germ of (lie malarial fm-er, und according to tlio well-settled law of inoculation, the Introduction of tho weak germ renders harmless a subsequent attack by the slrong term. 3rd.

The disputed claims to the owner ship of minerals ou Texada island in the lands held by crown grant by Captain John Irving and Mr. J.P. Palmer aro to be referred to tbo courts, and in the meantime injunctions have boen granted restraining anyone from doaliug with tho minerals, Several Vancouver citizens have staked claims on the property in question. The owners of the land claims all thc cop per as theirs, only tho precious metals having boon reserved to the crown. Clondyke, tho famous branch of tho Yukon, is in British Columbia, and the Canadian official stationed there makes monthly reports to his government at Ottawa. These reports confirm the fabulously rich finds of placer gold und say that Forty Mile aud Circle City are practically deserted for tho now oamp. If the Clondyke diggings continue to provo as rich as reported, and the gold hunters who havo gone north return in the autumn laden with tho precious metal, the next year will witness a rush to that country such has novor beon equaled any whero siuco the days of forty-nine.-Western Mining World.

Money to * A Htm CoM-Mitted 5-ulcMf A gread deal baa been said aud written about animals practicing self-destruction, but one of tbe most remarkable cases ever coming under the notice of your correspondent occurred here last night. A prospector's horse on Friday afternoon was "staked out" ou ono of the commons near the outskirts of Grand Forks and the prospector started to fill up on various kinds of firewater. His spree lasted through Friday night and all day Saturday. Meanwhile, the horso, which had be* come very much attached to bim during many weeks spent In the mountains together, stood watching in the direction in whioh his master bad gone, whinneying whenever anyone came in sight, but only to be disappointed every time. All day Saturday tho animal refused to eat, and if anyone attempted to untie the roap with whioh he was tethered bo as to lead him away, his objections were so forcible that tbe same party never made the second attempt. On Saturday evening about 11 o'clock the horse evidently determined to go in search of his master. He pulled on his rope until the stake came out of the ground, and then he went to the Cosmos tavern, where the prospector waa used to staying. For fifteen minutes the hone walked up and down the porch, which runs along in front or the tavern, and is reached by a flight of steps from the street, looking in at the windows and pushing against the doors. His actions were so strange that the men inside were afraid to go out till he *had descended from the porch. Then tbey came out and saw by the uncertain light of the moon that ho was walking slowly iu the direction of the river with head hanging nearly to the ground. On the bank of a shallow slough which runs back a few yards from the swift current he paused for a moment, looked around at the half a dozen meu who had followed thirty yards behind, then walked dellb- erately out to where the water was three teet deep, where he lay down aud was drowned. The suicide was witnessed by halt a dozen residents of this city, and they are unanimous tn the opinion that tbe prospector's horse deliberately took his owu life because he believed that his master bad forsaken-htm,—Ross- laud Miner Correspoudenco. hlc iii small inr IL'lltS.

The future of that section of tbe Okiiun gun country lying south of the lino is certain to be good, but has so far do veloped very slowly, owing largely to the blow given to silver mining by the United States as assistant in geuer through its Wall street agents to the molded men of Lombnrd street, whon the farce of mouometalism is played out to a finish, and byruetulism is brought about, the silver mines of i-iiby, Couconully, tho Similikameen, nud other sections of Okanogan county set iu operation and added to the gold output that is certain to take placo in the near future from Palmer Mountaiu und this section of the conn ty, then will Okanogan tako the lead of all of the rich couuties of Washington. May the Prospector strike it rich. We shall road it with interest, beiug well acquainted with the section and publishers. Then buy the staunch awl reliable Rkminoton, or the famous Victor.
