Why then, if we find a nugget valued at ^50 in a cm-tui.i spot of the river, is there not a quartz ledge within fivt or ten minuets walk of that very spot? and the fact that gold only being found at intervals would justify one' in believing that at every one of these spots a quartz ledge had been | Dr. Solw}n, chief of the Oeologi cal Department ut Otiuwu, oiune up by lust stage and passed a few dnyf examining the Law clnim.

These obstacles to the nit development of tbo marvellously rich gold Golds of Cariboo have been hugely overcome by tbo construction of the Canadian Pacific railway and the improvement of tho crent highway irorfi that railway to northern.British Columbia, with the result that tho work of development has boon vigorously and extensively prosecuted. During the past two years several costly hydraulic plants have been introduced by different wealthy mining companies which aro now operating well-known claims wilh must gratifying results, and thoro is every prospect of a second golden harvest whioh in its immensity and value will completely overshadow that which mado Cariboo famous thirty years ngo. Several very promising quartz bearing locations aro also being developed in thc Lillooet district, and ns machinery capable of treating the refractory ore on the moist improved methods will soon be imported, the excellent results already attained are attracting minors and mtmns*; men in large The Cariboo region and northern interior of British Columbia can only be ranched by railway to Ashcroft, thence by stage. Traveling by day only Quesnelle and other points are reached in three days, Barkerville in four, Tbe reads are excellent, and the stopping places convenient.
