The idea of sending tbo oro out .of the country to bo treated is absurd and, will sqon bo a thing of the past. It is Bnly Recently' that prospectors and miuers hare commenced to realize that they have in the Kootenay conn- try a vast quantity of exceedingly rich '- copper properties, somo of whioh I kuow to run from 16 to 10 por cent and in somo instances .as high as 50 per cent. There is ono copper mino in Montana which gives employment to 8,000 men and supports a population of 50,000 peoplo and pays largo dividends ou tbe sum of *35>Ck)01000. ■ I-^bo* venture to predict that in a vory short timo tho eopppi. jpSTufotifr in tl|*e*Kooto- pnys will support tfVqr n- quaotff of t) million f)e_iple. British Columbia is not only blessed witb a world of lead, silver, copper and conl, but is also rich in gold. A good many, o? tbo properties now being developed are showing very rich values in gold, especially in tho West and North Kootenay dis-. tricts.

The following extracts are taken from a letter received* from one of the most prominent mining men In California and now largely interested In Cariboo. The letter was written beforo tho last clause was added to tbe Act. In our judgment the writer is entirely right in his conclusions. We will venture the assertion that no man, whatovor his politics, or however popular ho may be personally, oould be at the present time returned as a mem- ver from Cariboo or either of the LU- looota with tbe Allen Exclusion Aot as the Issue, it he favored it. We make this assertion not from any personal feelings in the matter bnt based solely on reports from different parts of these districts and from interviews with well ipformed men from that section of tbe country. Certainly In Ashoroft and this immediate vicinity the aot is not regarded with favor by our progressive business men. The people bere wish to see travel brisk and times lively and are not worrying particulary about posterity. Shut off aliens and yon bar out a very large percentage of mining men in Cariboo as well as other parts of the province. Increase the number of customers by restrictive legislation and yon ' rbduoe tbe number of sales, Has Llllooet any particular wish to shut oat a class of men that will invest money? Tou may say tbat quartz, hydraulic and dredging are not interfered with. Any laws tbat are or may bo passed that tend to restart the purchase or securing In any other way of one class of mines by aliens, causes a lep-ge percentage of capitalists and mining men to turn their attention to other mining sections where money wih buy any kind of a mine and none are labelled: "These are not for sale to anyone except a British subjeot. WS don't want your money nor your experience. You can't play in our back yard," "I have noticed the mention ofthe Forelgq Exclusive aot now before the Provincial parliament, but was unable to learn what the bill contained nntll I saw It in tbe Jocbnal of the Uth inst, I am really surprised and am at a loss to understand why yonr people have so tar lost their reason by passing a measure so detrimental to your best, or you may sayyonr only interest. If British Columbia Is anything but a mining oountry I have not discovered it. People with money and mining experience is what she wants, and Instead of legislating against mining they Bhould legislate for it It makes me wish I Was out of the oountry and I shall from this on feel that Zam unwelcome. From your, editorial I infer that it is in retaliation for some of our obnoxious'state laws. I know of none that would call for suoh legislation on the part of your Provincial Govern ment.... "It is true that our laws prohibit for- eignei-B,from obtaining a patent to any kinds of .lands; this was necessary to prevent foreign capitalists from securing titles to vast areas of our pub- llodomalp, which if allowed would be in direct conflict with our frWHnstltu- tions.and oause landlordl-im.fathing we do not want. Nd nfitioh on earth offers more inducement td^'foreigners thau we do. . "Our doors are wide open to the world, All tbe fesfive'.'Canuok" has to do to mine in this country Is to stake off bis claim, pay 81.00 tor recording It and do 8100- worth of labor on it eaoh year. He can work his claim entirely out on bbese condUhjnsand no one will molest him, I never heard of a case in all my forty-six years' experience in'California, where a foreigner was deprived Of his claim on account of being a foreigner, even the despised Chinese mine here by the thousands, carrying away millions annually and no one molests theiji. Of course, they cannot acquire a patent for their claim, but they dotft need it. Half the olaims ih this state are.held without patents and worked right along, Why, the celebrated Consolidated Virginia mine, in Nevada, that produced'over $200,000,000, was nqt'patented and was held and worked under location when ber Bhares were selling at $8,00-' to $1,000 per share, "Your remark* are good and to the point. British Columbia will be the sufferer from this act, if enacted into a law." ] • . . LAC LA HACHE, The year 1608 has passed into history. It was an important epoch for the people of B.C., and more especially in the Cariboo district. First came the great overland rush to tbe gold fields of Klondike, Then the complete overthrow of the local government. Next worthy of special mention was the fistic encounter whioh took place not long ago, wherein the citizens ofthe place saw the champion of a year ago laid bora de combat after a brisk five rounds. Owing to social standings, eto., it is deemed wise not to get too personal as to names, dates, etc. We also note the upward tendency to the north of us, prosperity ever abounding. Tbe 150-Mile House has produced and brought forth to the knowledge of tbe world a heavy weight pugilist or no mean ability, who during tbe past week bas seen active service in the ring and distinguished himself by completely paralyzing bis antagonist. News of tbe recent bombardment at Asbcroft and the battle for supremacy wbicb followed bas reached here. It leads us to believe the South bas not yet been subdued. Owing to laok of particulars we will not dwell lengthily on this matter. Suffice to say we are heartily In sympathy with all those who had a shoulder to tbe wheel and helped to push a good thing along. We do not want tbe outer world to imagine that Lao La Hache Is one day behind the age. The trainer at our local athletic club desires to issue the following challenge: "We have here at present a man voluntarily remaining incognito, whom we will match against all comers for a purse of $500, Marquis of Queensbury rulee, 21-foot ring, 5 oz. gloves, light to a finish, loser to have gate reoeipts awarded bim as expenses, etc. The one who accepts the above oballeage bas the option of selecting tbe locality for tbe contest to take place." Mr. Stoddart, ex-M.P.P., of Clinton, haa been ln the district for the past ten days. J. B. Lelghton, the superintendent of the B.X. Is on a tour of Inspection up tbe road. He bas his gramaphone with him and tt helps to while away the long winter evenings. The songs, readings, recitations and band plecos reprodue*d hr It, are excellent, and a musical treat snob aa very seldom falls to our lot. Our local barber has altered tbe old, time-honored custom of displaying a striped pole for a sign by having his own pole painted a jet blaok. The new idea ts not likely to become universal, yet it goes to show tbat the Cariboo district is coming rapidly to tbe front tn the way of setting fashions. Unless the depredations recently committed in a certain locality come to a speedy termination some action will have to be taken to protect a certain citizen. "Smoke ln tbe Temple, or the Seven Last Plagues." "Somebody's Secret." "Who Took to the Bush? or, Wby Was the Door Slammed?" Freight is not moving very rapidly at present. After another thirty days times will brighten up. PETITION TO THB PREMIER. Hon. C. A. Semlin, Premier or Bbisisk Columbia— Dear Sir: The following resolutions were unanimously adopted at a largely attended meeting of the citizens of Ashoroft and vicinity held at tbe Court House, in Ashoroft, on tbe evening of the 28th day of January, 1899: Whereas the citizens of this community are Interested in the erection of a suitable school house, one capable of accommodating all of the ohildren; Whereas there being now in tbe patched up excuse for a school house only a seating capacity for ii children, and nearly 60 In dally attendance, and quite a few are not attending because ot the lack ot proper accommodations; and Whereas the Government in power before that of wblob you are now the bead recognized tbe absolute necessity of improved accommodation and made an appropriation of $700 for an addition to the existing school house; this being found insufficient was not used, and one year later $1,000 more was appropriated by that same Government, whioh was also found to be insufficient to do what was actually necessary. Both appropriations, therefore, expired without anything being done; and Whereas the need of such building Ib imperative; be it Resolved tbat we must have a building of .suitable size to accommodate our ohildren and we ask that an appropriation of at least $2,000 be set aside for this purpose. And be lt further resolved that the dlsgraoeful condition in whioh prison* era under arrest have from necessity been confined In Ashorott jail, an institution that has been condemned by grand juries, has been visited and inspected by judges of the supreme court who oould not conceal tbelr disgust at a policy that would oause as many as fifteen prisoners at one time to be confined in three vermin-infested cells, 7x8 feet square, the same being composed of the old lookup used many years ago at Savonas and moved down, tbe seams and between tbe boards being suoh tbat no jailor] could possibly keep the vermin out; and i Whereas the Government Id power before your own had recognized the absolute necessity of doing something and had mado appropriations, but not large enough to do what should be done, we earnestly request and in tbe name of humanity demand that an appropriation be made at as early a date as possible witb which to build 11 suitable jail, and wo ask tbat such jail be built where hygienio surroundings can be arranged, a jail yard and rooms for a jailor to live in, and in counec Uon with this matter that this bo made a sub-judicial district with a registrar, so that courts can bo holden boro, and that prisoners accused of crime and awaiting trial or serving a jail sentence can be held bere Instead of sending thom away at a large expense and re turning them to Clinton a fow days after for trial. We would respectfully suggest that the sum of 93,000 bo appropriated for this purpose. The above resolu Ions wero unanimously carried and emphatically endorsed, and we, the committeo, wero requested to represent to you that tbo residents of Asbcroft feel strongly that their requests should be granted. We are, Sir, Your obedient servants, (Signed) 3. C. Barnes, Wm. Lynk, Walter Fearn, J.E. Knigut, M. P. Stewart, I. C. Smitii, Oliver Harvey, J. B. Bryson, O.B, Deans. Sir Arthur Curtis' Death. London, Jan. IfO.—In the probate division of the high court of justice to- diy, Lady Curtis applied for leavo to presume that tho death of ber hus band, Sir Arthur Colin Curtis, third baronet of that name, occurred noar Quesnelle, Mud river. B. C, whilo ho was on bis way to tbe Klondike. Evidence was given tbat he left hia party's oamp on June 10th, 1898, after a diaa greement, and has not been heard of since. The judge thought tbat tho application was early in view of Sir Arthur's death being so recent, but be granted leave on the precedent boimf cited. Tbe estate is valued at -C1«,000. On the steamer Amur which sailed for the north Thursday of this week Is ft pkll-j- who will e-.c_cnv.ov to nial-i* n record trip to Atlin City, They are most thoroughly equipped for their journey and expect to reach tbeir destination In less than two weeks. It ia the Russell party and all are experienced men. The head is J. H. Russell. wbo reoently Bold out tbe Arlington. He bas been in ho north before, having with considerable enterprise, gono In over thn Ice to Glenora lost spring, where he built an hotel and brewery. When that route to the Yukon petered out be returned south. He has witb hlm seven men all well known hero. They are M. McLeod, ex-Licence Inspector Wm. Lawson, 11. Clegg, J. Wis- bart, for many years at the Balmoral; D. Bruin, B, Lashbrook and Gus ttett- man. A large flrst class hotel will be built at Atlin as soon as the party arrives. The land has already been secured. Eight tons of supplies were purchased in Vancouver by the party, but not before making enquiries elsewhere when it was found tbat the local merchants oan outsell any other town, and this wtth extra quality thrown in. "I am more than pleased with my outfit," said Mr. Russell to a Provinco reporter. We are taking In eight tons of stuff. Our local merchants know thoroughly what Ib wanted and I havo yet to meet a oase where useless goods were pushed forward. Our groceries we got from Kelly, Douglas & Co, hardware from McLellan, MoFeely & Co.; cigars from Creed, Slater & Co., and from the Inland Cigar Manufacturing Co., of Kamloops, in which I am interested; blankets, eto., from Turner, Baeton & Co.; furniture from Sbelton & Co.; glassware from Skinner A Co.: clothing from Johnston,Kerfoot <!b Co.; and liquors from J. G. Crawford & Co. and Mr. Massey. Everything was packed for us In a thoroughly practical manner. You see we will form quite a little oolony of Vancouverites, Going in by way of Skagway, we shall cross over the White Pass and push on for Atlin City. We all expect to be gone for many months." If this party does not get through no party will, for the leader's slogan is "Onward; not an eye to the rear." All will be sadly missed In Vancouver, but there promises to be a warm timo in the old town when they return with fortunes,—Province. Seethe notice of William Morgan, furniture repaired, in nnother column. F. J. Duhig, of Vancouver, received Wednesday the news of the death of his father, D. D. Dubig.

When Billy Barker, the man whom the town of Barkerville was named after, first started to sink a shaft below tho canyon 011 Williams Cieek, thero were not many miners who shared iu his Bauguluo npiiiimi tbat rich pay continued down tlie creok, but after lie struck it richer than tho Steel or Abbott chums pnid ahove the canyon everybody came to tho conclusion that Billy's idea was protty nearly correct, and 11 regular Btampedo for claims followed, which resulted in the staking of all tho ground between tho canyon and Jack ol'Clubs lake. Every man ou tho creek had an evon chance. Tliero was no grab game allowed in those clays for ouo man to stake tou or twenty olulms for himself and friends on speculation. The old mining laws only permitted ono claim by preemption and ono by purchase to eaoh individual, and i. instead of the government tinkering with tho mining laws tlicy would get down to common horse sense mining principles, and go back to the laws of 1801, they could do more good for the majority of practical miners and be ablo lo offer greater inducements to capital than tho present plncor act affords, whioh gives all the benellts of a new discovery to tbe best man with au axe, and it seems strauffe that our Solons "don't take a tumble, or got some oue to throw a gold mine ou top of them.'' They never would be missed, any more than Gamerontown or Maryville are missed by residents of Barkervlllo who recollect how the one arose Phoonix like from its ashes. whilo ber two promising rivals were buried under twenty-live feet of tail logs in tlio meantime. Before these events occurred thc Barker, Canadian and Diller claims were producing fabulous amounts of gold which made times lively for Nick Cuneo's brewery and Charley Vtwdoland'a saloon. Tbe former sold all the beer he could make at $1,00 per gallon or twenty-five cen ta a glass; while the hater sold whiskey straight at twenty live cents a drink. Money was plenty at the time and little matters of detail were uot considered of Bufllolent importance to Interest: local capitalists iu cornering the beer and whiskey business. . Thoro wore no hotels in BarkerviUt. in thoso days. Richfield was tht. nearest point (one mile) where the culinary »ftist dispensed savnrjt (ii^hi-s .if h-nm.. und bacon to hungry miners' with a .in cup of coffee, "sin leohe," at 82J50 a meal This simple fare, however, was soon relegated to the camp when Mr. aud Mrs. Richard Cameron arrived on tbo scone aud opened up a tirst class boarding house. Mrs. Cameron attended to the cuisine and with feminine taste served tempting meals to her patrons, who paid the modest .um of $10 a week for board alone. There woro not many ladies on the creek at tho timo and every new arrival was welcomed by the miners. Mrs. Cameron, therefore, enjoyed the freedom of tbo miues, so to speak, and received many invitations to visit the various deep shafts below the canyon. One day sho had a very tempting offer frr.m Jim Lorlug of a pau of dirt if -she would go down tho Diller shaft, which she accepted, and in company with her husband mado tho descent. Jim Loring, being an owner of the claim and foreman, knew just where the richest dirt laid, aud whispered to one of the men not to give it from that quarter. His instructions wero obeyed, but the result somewhat astonished the liberal Jim, for when ho uudertook to wash tho dirt, at the first shake of tho pan the yellow metal showed upon the surface. Ho thought this was a little too much, so ho quickly scooped a lot of it over into tho water hole. The next shako of tho pau uncovered more of tho precious stuff, and a lot more of gold dropped iuto tho water hole. At tho third shako Jim saw that there waa very littlo gravel mixed with that pan of gold, and so concluded to scoop out somo more. This was not very easy now as tho lady and her husband stood closo by watching tbo operation, but "whero thero is a will there is a way," aud magnanimous.lim found the way, Tbo wator was muddy, and as he gave lho pau a vicious whirl preparatory to a final shake, be let it fall into the water, aud while endeavoring to get it out threw a lot of gold into the hole. When ho brought tho pan to the surface all eyes wero intently gazing at its contents, aud Jim saw that it was impossible to deceive them any longer. Ho therefore got up uud politely handed Mrs. Cameron tho proceeds of her pan of dirt, when tbe party returnod to tbo surface. Mrs. Cameron took tbo pau homo, aud after weighing tbe gouerous gift fouud to her astonishment tbat sho hnd 00 ounces of gold —approximately 91,000. About tbo samo time tbat Mrs. Cameron was foudly admiring her precious wealth, Jim made a straight shoot for tbo water holo, and tbo boys stated that all tho caudles wont out and that the air smolt like sulphur while.Tim Loring worked hard at that water hole panning out the gold he had put into it. He finally got it nil, and whon it waa weighed Jim had just 40 ounces, or nearly $700, which with theamount Mrs. Cameron received, made 81,700 tho yield of ono pan of poor dirt from tho Diller claim. R. Mrs. Philip Purko has entirely recovered from her lato sorious illness, ■ <p THE B. C. MINING JOURNAL. ISSUED EVEKV SATUItDAV. F.

(1001) OLD CAI.IB00, Of Cariboo muoh has been written since tho early days of 1858. liogin ning with tho early discoveries on Hill's bar In lhe autumn of that year canoo load alter canoe load of prospectors pushed tholr way np tho rapid Kraser ami to tho junction ol' lho swift running Quosnollo with the Kraser, up that river to tho Forks, mattor of about. IU) milos, thero again dividing, somo going by thc Nnrth Pork and across tho mountains by Keilliley and ovor different creeks and gulches lying that sido of the Bald mountain rango, while another portion of lho gold hunters followed up the South Pork past what is known as tho Cariboo mine, Dnuoiug Bill's gulcb, aud on up and across to tho Horsclly, whero rich discoveries were made each year cclips ing those of the previous year, until finally Williams creek was struck in 1802, and during the hoy-doy of prosperity thero wero probably 10,000 miners mining within 100 miles of Barkerville, und most of them within a radius of a few miles; rich diggings, easily worked, have since become less freely found. Men can no longer tako thousand dollars from u foot of bedrock, as was doue many times in the early days on Williams creok: longer is it possible to take out, as they did on the Dillory claim. 101 pounds iu one shift of HI hours by two men. Prospectors are a roaming uneasy class, unci if they do not llud what they were looking for iu one section, will in most eases strike out in another direction: and so it was in Cariboo. Soon canoo load after canon load wero working thair way up tho Praser. across Gis comb portage, iuto the Omenica, Peace river, and up the Pindley branch to the rich discoveries of Cassiar. which foi lowed tho discovery in Omenica by a few seasons. A recent rich discovery in northern Cassiar, the Atlin lal country of today, goes to provo still moro what has been insisted ou by mining men knowing tho country, that British Columbia is indeed a land of gold. Tho Cariboo of today is full of promise. Never since tho early days has thoir been the determined effort, tho concentration of capital, and tho gathering together of mining men of ability as aro now enrolled among tho Cariboo mining men. The gold is there, and capital has at last been found to join issues witli nature aud bring forth the hidden treasure. Of tho work being done for the past 12 months in Cariboo, mention will first bo made of tho Horsolly, wliich is reached either from tlio 108-Mile House, ou the Cariboo road, or from tho loO-Mile House, lying as it does about ... miles from tbe 150, to tho right. This great gold-bearing section has beon more thoroughly prospected within the past few months by tlio Miocene Oold Mining Company than has ovor been dono boforo by auy or all of tho mining companies operating iu tho Horsefly, for it has been dono at a depth and in a direction which, if the theory, backed by tho proof thut Senator Campbell, their superintendent, advances, bo true, then au enormous system of old channels will be opened up to the world, and will help u.ain to populate Cariboo as iu the days of 1802. A shaft sunk by tbo Miocene company lo a depth of 250 feet on their ground, ou ouo of lho old channels of the Horseily, then sun'' 100 feet through the bedrock, then drifted out a matter of 75 foot until gravol was again ouooutorod, then a continued sinking of an inclino an other 50 feet, found tbe company, while not at the bottom of lhe old chanuol which thoy sought, yet not far from it. An enormous aniountof alluvial gravel was here found, and pans running from 30 cents to Si in gold were takon out, this being only on the rim rock not in the deepest ground. Owing to a lack of preparations for doop work, it was not then possible to sink this inclino deeper, but so thoroughly wero tho company satisfied with tho showing mado that 8-10,000 was immediately subscribed among themselves, it being u closo corporation, and HcnatorCamp- bell was instructed to at oneo aink n triple compartment 5x15 feet working Bbaft, the site for which he has selected at a point 2,000 Toot further down tho valloy than where his previous work was done. An enormous shaft house, 7"ixH0 feet, is erected and nearly completed. The triple compartment shaft is started, ami gangs of mun aro steadily pushing it down. If ho moots with no bad luck, Senator Campbell hopes by next July lo havo this im nienso working shaft ou bedrock, and by raising and sluicing the rich deposits from this old channel, which is no less than 1,000 feet in width. Daw- son, Sohvyn, Hobson ami Campbell all agree that this immeuso channel at ono timo an old bed of the Prasor whou it carried the waters also of tbo Quesuolle, tbo Clearwater,and perhaps the North Thompson. Much work has beeu done in other parts of tho Horsefly, and a 10-stnmp mill has been running most of tho time tbis season on tho cement de posits along tho bunks of tho Horsefly river. This cement is irregular in its richness, and so far tho company bavo not met with the success they had hoped for, but are still sanguine of ul- timato good results. Tbo Horsefly Gold Mining Company, with its hydraulic elevators, successfully operated for the past two seasons, are showing up grouud that riiua vory rich in gold. Individual pans have boon takou out of lhe rich part of their ground containing more that 820 in gold. There are many other locations in tlio Horsefly country and conBid6n-blo work has boou done on some ol' then but nono as yot aro producing, Th ig up of tho old clnmuol by Hi Miocene, if successful, will give on ployinentto thousands ol nun, ami that particular section ot" Ihe Horsefly is not by any iih'iuis tlm only om*. in tho opinion of ininin-j; mou, that contains old channels rich in gold. At Quosnollo Porks, lhe wmk dono by llio Cariboo Hydraulic lm-; been chronicled from time to limo during tlio season. It is sulllcienl, to say I hat tholr work Is boing intelligently nnd steadily advanced ami from the state of chaos that existed four years ago an enormous and very valuable hydraulic mine with all its paraphernalia has been evolved. In tho bottom oi' tho old channel now from six to eight IVet of gravel has heen exposed, running from ■?_! to 810 per pan, Thoniiuo pays from lop to bottom ami of course the rich pay gravel is lower dowu. Having a -100 foot bank and on the start being handicapped by old Chineso dumps. shortage of water, lack of roads, and various other tilings, it has taken several yoars to get this mine where it uow is and much remains yol to bo done. Thev have uow probably the most elaborate water system of auy mine ou earth, ill miles of ditches, immense reservoirs, theirditahes being 11 feet wide on top, 7 feet on tho bottom and three feet in depth. Now thai tlie Moorehead ditch is comploted und tlieir dams in place their wator supply will be about double, but there is more yet to do before the system will bo completed. Still, within the uoxt '■' years tho output from this mino will not be less than half a million dollti a year, and ground enough iu sight f Kl) years to come, A largo oxpoui tore of English capital on the dam across the lower end of Queanello lako was continued during the season of 1898 and a trial ruu of a few days was had during tho lull. The absolute re. suits aro not as yet mndo public, but probably tbey soon will be as it is ai English stock company and tho results will bo published. Oftho work, the engineering and management iu general has apparently beeu perfected and the enormous gates can he raised and lowered at will and have amply proven the engineer'; port to bo correct in which he stated that tbo bed of the river eoulil be dried completely and a permanent, dam put in across the lake that after its in- Dtollatluu would give no troublo ami with which thero would bo no danger in connc.tion. Prom the reports at hand of the results of tho comparn' lively small amount of work done in tho old river bed during lho few days in November it seems fair to expect that lhis compauy will bo a success, Harvoy creok has been further' prospected this year and is iu shapo i'or a hydraulic plant which will be installed at no distant time. At the Heaver river properties, 20 miles below tho Porks much work has been done and a valuable property witb a splendid water riglit put shapo for a hydraulic plant. It is bo hoped that next season will see the work of fitting this up perinaueutly boguu. Tho Montreal company, a few miles down, havo valuable banks of on which ubout 820,000 lias been spent iu prospecting alone, and we havo boon informed by one of lho parties in terested iu tho company that they oxpect next yoar to put in dams, make resorvoii-3, put in ditches, etc., and bo ready by the fall of 1800 to gel, thoir pipe and hydraulic machinery iu. Tho Maud company have made a conditional salo of their properly, and payments havo been received on lhe same. It has passed inlo godd hands, and wo trust tho deal will bo concluded and the property opened up. Mr. Southard, of Boston, has bought ten miles of the river bed, beginning at a point ten miles below tho Porks and extending down tho rivor, and has done somo good prospeotiug on the same. His confidential man, an engi- neor by tbo name of Brown, was ' sent out from Boston and has been about four months ou tho properly siukirg holes, which he has been able to do in tho low stages of water to advantage (the dam beiug closed a portion or the time), and reliable information is to the effect that of the I'll! holes sunk by him to a depth of from 0 to 10 feet to Lho clay bedrock, the couteutsof which wero takon and rocked ami weighed. Mr. Brown found, on averaging tlm Ilrst fivo miles of ground, 61.20 in the cubic yard. On tho second live-mile lease tho report was found bettor, the averago being 81,-10 per cubic yard. A dredger is now on its way In-to tho Porks, and will be put ou this Btronm early in tho season. Tho ten miles between Mr. Southard's ground ami tho Porks is owned by the Earl ol' Nor- bury's company. Tlioy have- dobs somo very thorough work, and -.vill, we understand, install a dredger there In tho early spring, to bo followed shortly by others. Many prospectors for quart'/, havo been in tho Quesnelle lake seclion, into tho Clearwulor country, and have brought back flno specimens of galena ore, carrying -'10 or JO ounces in silver, u little gold, and some as high as eighty per cent in lead. Coal is also roportod, aud of good quality, in that section, It now looks as if transportation is nil that is necessary to open up a quartz country. n tbe vicinity of Barkervlllo tho season of .KSiS has been a bright one. Tho ■■minmms.work carried on by the Gfu'iboo (.oldflelds company with energy Inn boon brought to a successful issue", ami the work t.i hoisting ground waa begun during the season. With a plant oi' the kind, and situated us Ihey arc, this must naturally go slow, ami it will lako some years to put lliis property ou lhe high plane that, it should bo. That tliero arc millions in tlm ground owned by this company no ohl limai- iu Cariboo will question. At Pleasant Valley creek recent sales Imvo beon made, aud it. is now ex pootod with eonlldouoo Ihutun English upaiiy with plunty of capital behind m wiil next season instulln liydrau iio plum. Hamshaw A Youngs, on Plousaut ley creek, havo douo somo oxtonsly k, and aro believed by many to u found lim ohl channel of Wil Hums creek. A fow mouths more will toll tho talo ol this, In any case thoy vc valuable hydraulic grouud, which oy aro filling up and putting in apo for a producer. The Waverly, ou Grouse creek, was a success this year, and its output is better than for many years before. Tho Housor boys, on Pleasant Valley creek, struck some very rich ground) ami working iu tlie very primitive way thoy ilnl, took out somo thousands of dollars; The Black Jack has again como to llio front, and worked in a small way only. I her. was an output of over £3,000 for lho season, which, it is supposed, will bo largely increased next Many ot hoi around Bm-ki past seasou. Thc Plynn small hydraulic tilt ■villi-- have done well the hum, on Mosquito creek, has shn.Yoil up well, ami is now, we understand, uudor bond for good money to an English syndicate. A low nays since a-conditional payment, being the second, was made to Pin Iter toil on the Lowlioe creek mine by Messrs. Moon .v. Bromner, ropro smiting an English symlicutc. The Mpdlloott properties, on Barnes creek, were rapidly pushed this season ami will bo in oporatlon nexl year. On Dragon creek Gusl Lang lias hnd ii vory successful season, and bis company have a very valuable properly. P. C Laird is installing some new machinery, ami from what, bo has so far .learned of the deep ground of Willow river, is very confident that he will be successful iu mining ami sluicing lho rich gravel from this ancient river bed. 'On Slough creek work is progressing ou a very large scale under tho general management of the well known Australian mining man, Mr. Thompson.. .Vork will bo resumed iu tho early spring. . . ■ . ■ On the old Eleven of England grou[i which 'has been taken over by the Moou'Breniner syndicate including also tho Gladstone, the Myrtles, tbo Lily and several other claims iu that immediate section, a drainage tuuuel .1,000 feet in length wiil bo run to tap Um ohl Eleven oi' England shaft at a denth ofa hundred foet, where a pumping station will be eslilb'ished and the ground dried from lhis point. A lew miles below on Lightning creek tbo drainage compauy' have uutil lately beeu making good pi'ogress, some twelve or fourteen hundred' feet ofdruinngo tunnel having been run, The company havo a valuable group of claims,jand the property is geuornliy well spoken of throughout the community. Around Quesnello among the important projects carried on is that ofthe Cottonwood hydraulic, the work for the past year having beeu dono undor tho direction of Mr. G. h. Betts, of Vancouver, and in a thorough, businesslike manner. Work was commenced this season at tho intake of tho river. At this point a ilanl 1.7.) feet wide has been put iu, -l,:W0 foot' of ditch and 0,500 foet of Hume, all done this soason. Tlm most, ol' the Hume is carried on high trestles from twenty Ao thirty feet in length, and 11,800 foet of which'is carried on cribbing 18 feet wide nml from ii to 12 feet high, built in the bod oftho Collouwnod. From tho fact that these I'oumhit ions were neeeessarily in the bed of the river it was impossible to start work earlier in the season. Water lias been turned on through 0,"itl0 leet of lhe race. There aro no leakages and a perfect grade is shown. Although there is still considerable work to bo done it can be completed and the properly in working order two or throe months after starting in the spring. Seymour Baiter has dono considerable work on his properties during the season, and on. at least ono.of them- has Beefaiod to liav'o'fair results, lt was reported that about. 8_l,()iiii was cteaued up after a few days' trial run. The tunnel across tho river-from Quesnollo on tliefT!ol(]enProvince com- pliny's properties is being drifted ahead, but the old channel has not yet been lapped, lhis js an old channel believed by such authorities as Dawson, FJonvyu, Hobson and others Io havo been at one timo lho bed cf lhe Quoanell'o river, lis cover is basaltic capping and from, tho shells already sunk as doop aa can.bo on account of water, alluvial gravol was found and moro extensive work' undertaken namely the driving of a tunnel from Maker's creek totap lhis old channel. The length of the drive will bo,"'complete, some' 2,(H)0 feot. Dredging arounil Quosuollp has not beon as sue-. cossfnl this season as was hoped Tor, the Pillsburg company having failed to make any showing, their dredger boing now aground with uo liklihood of getting It oil'uutil tho water rises iu the spring. Tho Oleson company, operating on Quesnelle river, claim to havo had a very successful seasou and aro arraug-1 iug to put ou two or throo more dredg-1 ors for operating next season. A ki.'go Bucyrus dredger will be put ou tho lowor end of Quesnelle river, thi. being of Lho same stylo ol dredgers iu successful operation on Grasshopper artfok, near Bannock, Montana, A com* pany will also install a dredger on tbe ground bolow tho village of Quesnelle, which leasehold takes in the celebrated Rich Bar. On llig Bar, on tho Frnser, o dredger has been successfully operated by an English company under tho management of Mi-. Gore, and on Boston on tho Frasor tho Beattie company have been successfully operating their dredger again tbis season. It Is re- polled that several more dredgers will be put ou tho Praser noxt season. In tho vicinity of Clinton what appears to bo valuable quartz mines have been found within tho last few months, -ght or ten miles from town, ledges from six to ten feet in width carrying values in gold of from $4 to 810. Some native soda lakes near Clinton bavo attracted much attention and a compauy beaded by Mr. J, B. McLaren has been organized to take out this deposit, box it up and put it on the market uv t_ washing compound. I'he accumulation on the lakes begins early in tho fall and by the time of oold weather tho surface of the lakes Is covered witb this deposit from eight to sixteen inches thick. Blocks are cut out tho samo nsicc. The eioot turo of this compound Ib not as yet known as analysts have tailed to agree about it. but unite in pronouncing tt a washing and healing oompoupd and one that will bo a favorite wjth the public and in general demand as soon as put on tho market. The quantity Is large, moro than 20,000 tons being measured at one lake. A 250-ton shipment will soon bc made from the lakes to Ashcroft. that amount being now cut aud extracted from tho lakes. lu tho vicinity of Ashcroft quite ft largo amount of work has boen done, and somo properties are showing Up good values iu gold and copper, Depth seems iu any caso toimprovo the value. - Special correspondence to the Colon- muuniD us*.

It is the *o iMiint. which the market, or W. H, Ru- dio, tho proprietor, wbo came down on the stcumer Furallou, kept with "Nljf- ger Jim," or Jim Danghtray, the fam* oiis millionaire of the Yukon.

"Ho Rare nwuy an awful lot of money each1 day, Whenever he saw a sn boy whose good nature appealed to him ho f-euoi-ally made tbe little fellow presont. Then he spent a lot of money about tho saloons, at the dance halls aud faro banks." Danghtray does not like newspaper men and tbey have characterized hlm "tho meanest man that ever came out of Dawson." Whon tlie steamer Rosalie reached tho outer wharf the other day an Irish* American stepped ashore and with feverish hasto enquired if tbe Alien Exclusion Act had been passed yet, Uu was informed that it had, and with true American haste, be Bald to a by* standee: "Say, where can I swear al* legiauce to Queen Victoria?

If wo were forced to endure the soolety of such a bum for 15 minutes, we would got out an extra edition to advocate sending him out at once. W. Owen, of Mnmmetto Lake, is in town for a fow days consulting witb some of his partners, wbo are Messrs. Henderson, Lyne, Barnes, Webb and Sims relative to their valuable hydraulic claims on Lost and Lorno creeks, in the Omineca district. . Tho in) Milo House, with the land belonging to it, will be offered for sale to the highest bidder on Friday at 11 o'olock a. m, at Lho Court Mouse, Ashoroft, by Joseph Burr, Deputy Shcrilt. It is a valuable property and will no doubt command a fair price. We hopo to be able soon to announce definitely that the government will build the telegraph line north from Quesnello to Atlin Oity und Dawson. It would mean much freighting and a large expenditure locally aud along tbe Une for wages, team work, etc. Many people play at the gamo of hearts in Ashcrofi. Tbe game oan be played by six or eight persons but someof our young people think itis the beBt game when two handed, and when occasionally the old man takes a hand the two handed peoplo resent il as crowding tbo game, The funeral of the lato Malcolm McLachlan took place on Sunday from the Presbyterian ohuroh. l.ov, P. D. Muir preached the services at both tho church and the grave. A largo number of friends of the deceased followed tho remains to Lhoeometery, The pallbearers wero Messrs. J. Mol vor, M.P. Stewart, J. W. Burr, Stuart Henderson, C. B. Deans and ,1. 13, Bryson. Several of our distinguished citizens are struggling in tho front ranks for the supremacy iu the curling matih. Oa Monday ovening Mrs. McCosh easily defeated Mr. Rowlands, Mr, Rowlands of course makes tlit. usual oxouso tbat he could not llud it in bis heart to defeut B lady, thereby following tbo example of the Knights of yore wbo insisted whichever way tho lady wagered that she had won. The enforcement of tho laws made lo govern society is ono of the things that must bo, but when suoh a wretched blatherskite as the one hero this week makes complaint of a violation of tho liquor law, it is unfortunato that the magistrates bad not the authority to give tbe complainant 00 days with bard labor aftor they were through with him as a witness. It is said to be a fact that be, the complainant, had no more shame than to go to the samo parties for financial help a few monlbs ago, at Kamloops, when lined for selling liquor to Indians, and tbat such help was given him, thereby saving him from jail. Tho resolutions published in another column regarding a school houso and jail are self explanatory. Of tho absolute necessity of tho buildings no oue familiar with tho circumstances can question. Tho feeling seems to bo unanimous that West Yale has been very unfairly treated for the past. 20 years and that now when we ask for ouly the absolutely necessary improve ments that havo even boen recognized for several years past by Lbe government as boing necessary and iudispen- slble, that our request should be granted and tho buildings erected. Knowing as tho Hon. Mr. Semliu does that only absolute facts aro stated in the petition his many friends in tliis vicinity express entire conlldenco iu tbe necessary appropriations being made. (Jen.

It is a very valuable property without doubl. Tbe six owners are re ported as having rocoivod 830,000 in cash for the prop rty. It is no price for propositions of this class, as, if tbe company succeed, as they can by pro- per work aud with capital, in reaching the bedrock, tbey can lake out tbis amount in a few days lime, but it is a most excellent thing, for tlio country iu general, to have a strong company taking bold in this long neglected section of Cariboo. Last week an item was handed in in reference to peoplo keeping valuable dogs home for the next ten days, intimating thereby tbat poison would be put out. Tbe item was published and by an oversight no explanation of it given. We desire to go on record as feeling quite free at any lime that curs do congiegule in our hack yard and make night hideous, to tako onr gun and shoot promiscuously, but wo consider the putting out of poison as a cowardly, vicious crime and it is, believo, as it should be, a serious thing, and tbo perpetrator should bo severely doall wilh when convicted, A new strike was made last week in the old Baker oluim on William's creek, the owners being Ml*.
