Mr. Geo. McL. Brown wns in Ash oroffc last night, and in reply to quor* ios concerning Uio railroad situation generally and theKottlo rivor valley charter in particular, .snid lio was only warranted in speaking iu a goneral way nf tlio plans of the company Ior tho development of British Oolninbia. Uo staled that theso plans woro com* prohoneivo indeed and wore nil mado with the ono objoot, lho development of British Columbia ona portnauonfc basis, iu viow. This, mount tho troat- mout of Cauadlnu oroa in Canada, (lio ostablishiug of intorior towns, and tho bringing of tho coin uiun iti os throughout the province in aloso rotations with ouo auothor ootuuiorolnlly. Whon nsked what ho thought tho prospects worn for tlm granting uf tboKottlo river charter at Ottawa this your, stated Hint, lm hardly onrotl to oxprosa an opinion on 11 nt. point, but would sny that in his opinion thoso who woro fa* vorliig tho graiitiug ot tho ohm-tor had lost sight of tho lnna.lvi.-wt>!' thoquos- Hon am] woro promptod In thoir ao* tiou hy Bimio Fanoiod humodlato ad- vantage to tho Bouudary Ordoh distriot. If Uio Keltic rivor railroad woro natruotod it would simply moan tlio OrOttSitlg of tho Hold of operation for tho morohants of Spokuuo and tho farmors of llio Uolvlllo rosorvfttiou to tho distinct dotrlmont oftho British Coliimliian ugrloultural ami commercial ooutrosi it meant tho postpono- monl. of tho establishment of Canadian smelters, for no capitalist would caro to invest in lho largo smolting establishments thai would ho neoossary for tho successful smelting in tho Boundary country, unless ho was assured of tho output of Unit country. Without those smelters tho mattor would simply resolve itself into a fight betwoou the Canadian Pacific railroad company ou tho ono hand and tho American railroad companies ou Uio other for Uie haulago of such ores as would stand transportation. With tho exception of a very fow mines, tho Boundary country is essentially a low grade proposition, and without smelters, these vast bodies of low grade ores would never bo developed and the country would loso to that ex tout, In fact, if wo are to reap tho full benefit of the riches in British lolumbia wo must open up our low grade bodies. This oan only be done by home smell hi1* on a very largo scale, tho larger, the lower the cost of treatment. Tho smelting trust recently formed in tho United States with a capital of 865,000,000 must be considered in this matter. The avowed intention of that trust is to control tho ores of British Columbia aud to treat them in the states, and unless Brilish Columbia is alive she will lind herself in respect to her minerals in the same position as Ontario has found herself iu respect lober lumbering industry. As it is, today Uio Ontario forests are depleted and substantial Michigan mill towus built up out of them. Tho American papers in the wost aro all jubilating over the trade and prospects of trado wilh British Columbia. There is no reason on God's earth why why tho American farmer and tlie •-inerio.m merchant should become rioh out of tlio wealth of British Columbia to tho detrimolit of our own peoplo. But what have you to say for this local cry in the boundary country for moro railways? If competing railroads aro necessary, which I by no means admit, tbey Bhould be all Canadian roads. A3 regards the Kettle river railroad being a factor in the settlement of local rates throughout southern British Columbia, lho idea is absurd, as a lino following llio valloy of tho Kettle rivor, crossing and re- crossing tlio International Boundary several times, and being under twenty milos in all iu British Columbia territory, cnuuot bo a great factor iu traffic rates.' In tho second place, the Dominion govornmout has control of all ratos on Canadian Pacific railway Hues in British Columbia south of tho main liuo, aud if the company neglected its duty in respect to the public in tho matter ofrate3, tho government havo power to aud undoubtodly would step in and correct any injustice I am glad to hear, said Jlr. Brown, the good accounts you givo mo of this section. It is needless to stato that the company realizes that it must become very prominent iu British Columbia, As a proof of this you huvo only to consider tho enormous personal investments of sumo of tho company's chief men, which have been and are being made in this portion of tho couutry. Rich Hind (.onr Homo, Most of thoso who as tlioy aro hur rying through British Columbia on an express train and gazo out llirough tho I window of a parlor car at the hugo mountains and inagnlficont scenery, aro aware that in the provinco thero aro tmmonso deposits of shining gold, Imt thoy aro at tho same timo usually uudor tho impression that tlieso valuable Holds are oifher up iu a vague and Tro- zou norlli or else down iu tho Slocan and Kootonny districts. To tlieso and also perhaps to many in this city it will como as a surprise to learn that right in full view of tho C. L\ li. railway track and scarcely two miles bolow Uio thriving littlo town of Yalo, thoro is an extremely valuable plncor'depositon the Feasor and that tho samo is lo bo shortly worked by an enterprising syndicate oEIndianapollsgentlomen which acquired tho proporty last autumn and which will seek to recover I lie gold by a novel und highly ingenious process. Threo members of the syndicate, Messrs. Lyman W. Louis, K, D. Town- send and U. Cohen, wero in the city yestorday, registered at tho Motropolo and from Mr. Towuseud the Province obtuluod much interesting Informal-Ion as to tho syndicate's plans fm- tho future. Mr. Towuseud is, It may bo said, tbo practical member of Uio company, having bad many years of experience in any form of gold minhg i.i California und Arizona, Speaking of lho placer proporty bo said: "Wo acquired this claim last September, aftor having ascertained by otirofu] experiments llim, it was likely to justify all tho claims that had been made for it. It ia ovor a mile iu length mnl lhe gold is ooutaluod in a lino black sand, which Is of course not easily bundled by tho primitive process of punning out. H can bo treated by the sluicing process and wo already have a llumo'roady to work but wo propose to deal with this sand by an entirely different process, which has but recently boon invented and which has been found to bo very successful iu treating crushed freo milling quartz. "Tho fundamental principle of tlio proooss is, as iu many other processes, iu tho utilization of the fact thai the specific gravity of gold and of other precious metals, is much greater than that of ordinary gravel, and by means of a current of compressed air, it has in tho caso of freo milling quartz at least, boon found possible to separate the gold from Uic othor substances iu which itis imbedded. With goltl bearing black sand tho process is precisely*, the samo, tbe sand is subjected to a stroug current of air and tho substance possessing the greatest speeiOo gravity remain behind whilo the others are blown away. This is of courso only a rough explanation, for naturally I am not at liberty to explain all tho minute details."---Province. Dry I'laecr Machines. The application of t he principle upon which tho farmer's "fanning" mill is constructed is that which Is applied to all lho "dry" machines, says tho Deu- ver Mining Reporter. Tho operation of somo form of fan, by crank or othor power, designed to actuate forco enough in the blast to Irive over tho tail board all the gravol, sand and dust, while permitting tho heavier particles of goldto fall into a receptnelo provided therefor. In theory tho largo specillc gravity, and the small size of tho gold particles, would enable sucli results, but, liko many other theories, thero are exceptions, and without enumerating somo of the necessary conditions whicli must exist beforo tho "dry" machine can be mado even reasonably successful. Dry," which menus that Uio sand, gravel, or gold bearing material must be dry, that it must bo so freo from moisture that no lino particle of gold shall bo held to a particle of sand by adhesion or capillary forco. This condition is possiblo iu a dry climate, whero thoro is littlo if any rain and for short distanco below tbe immediate surface, but to render such machines of practical uso arrangements must bo made for artificial drying of the material preparatory to passing it through tho machine. It will bo advisable to add some method for crushing the lumps and nodules of dried clay aud indurated sand, for in theso lumps and nodules will be found tho richest portion of tho wholo mass of material, and unless crushed to a iluo dust almost all lho values would go iuto tho tailings. Another serious abjeelio.:. to the successful introduction of tho dry ma- chino is found iu the manual labor involved, tho material having to bo lifted into tho hopper of tho machine, and tho tailiugs removed in tho samo man uer. Theso objections could bo overcome by mechanical elovators aud carriers, should it bo fouud that gold bearing gravol can bo successfully worked by tho winnowing method. In Arizona aud on tho borders of Sonora, a primitive method is in uso by Mexicans and natives. A sand screen is sol at an angle, tho sand thrown at it wilh a shovel, tho forco of Uio throw directed at about the piano of tlio horizon, tho gold particles, being tbo heavier, will bo thrown lho farthest, therefore lho gold is found at tho outer sido of tbo sand which passes tho soreou. This is carefully gathered nnd washed iu a pan, mul tho operators aro content with a result of 50 cents a day for thoir labor. QUARTZ ON i'U\Cl_ RIVER. This week a party consisting of five gentlemen, English and American, aud representing apparent ly plenty of car. ita!, placed with P. W. lAister a largo order Cor supplies to be forwarded Lo them utQuesneilennd they themselves left on Wednesday for that point. At. Quesuolle they will build a boat, and proceed up Lhe Prasor to Qlsoomb's portage, across lho eight miles of land aud pass dowu tho Parsnip, or as it is called by local people, Crooked rivor, to Fort MoLeod, aftor which thoy will have good boating down to tho junction of lho Finlay brauuh with the Parsuip, Prom thia point on tho stream is callod Poaoo river, snd whou tho headwaters oj Uio Peace river are spoken of it is Lhis point that is referred to. Tho abovo named party, among whom are quartz men of experience, stale that, thoy havo a vory largo ami valuable body of quarlz in Um Woolsoy mountains, ou tho right hand bank of tho Poaoo just, below whero Un' Pindlay oomos iu, aud that thoy have ubout forty men in thoro now do- volopiug tho proporty which ia described as an enormous body of oro, 000 foot iu width aud of enormous extent, covering as it does tlie mountain side with a body of Tree milling quartz that they know from actual test of largo quantities taken down as samples, i-o bo high grado, and ihat tho intention of the eumpany, whoso headquarters are in Chicago, is to tako in a largo quarlz mill from lho works of Praser & Chalmers yet this season.

The New York Herald's Washington eorrespoudeul says: So Tai* Uio report of Lho British Indian currency coin- mission Lends to show that thero has uot boon any serious consideration by lho United States cabinet of tho question of another international monetary conference or of a ratio for tbo coinage of gold aud silver—it is misleading. Tho correspondent says he has high authority for tho state-moot that thero has been no serious consideration of tho question by the cabinet sinco the failure of tho last monetary conference and it is highly improbable tho Uuited Stale., under Lho presont nd- ministratton, will take tho initiative for calling another. It can bo said on tho samo authority, however, thai, tho Unitod Slates will accept any iuvila- tiou issued by any other nation for such conference, and the prosent administration is inclined to go as far in increasing tho uso of silver as tbe other leading commercial nations might be willing to go. Sonic Gold Nugget-. big gold uuggets aro becoming more common in British Columbia. Ho- oently Mr. J. B, Hobson,ot lho Cariboo Hydraulic Mining Company, brought to Vancouver a gold nugget weighing G:.j ounces and worth about Silo. Captain Jack Catcs last week brought out from lho Yukon a beauty worth 804, and Mr, A. W. Smith, M.P.P., possesses a nugget valued at over 680 and weighing ">■-,; ounces. It was found on lho Bridge river by an Indian and purchased by Lho member for West Llllooet.- -Nows-Advertiser. James McKen, of Barkerville, has a nugget taken from Stout's gulch tributary of Williams creek, that is a beautiful specimen. Por the gold alone it is worth aboul 4110, but its value is greater as a specimen. A nugget was sold Lo Lho Bank of B.N.A., Vancouver, last year, by an Ashcroft busiuoss man, for $150. It weighed about 8)., -juuees and was a flno specimen. It was taken out of Lightning crook somo two or Llireo yeara ago.

It was strong sentiment, and the Americans woro a littlo overawed until Hli Perkins was called to toast the Stars and Stripes. Looking into the proud faces of Lhe Englishmen he said: "Horo is to the Slars aud Stripes of Lhe new republic.

Is is to be hoped that tho law bearing upon Llio ownership of mining claims In Alliu will be administered in a manner to conserve as far as possible all rights acquired by aliens before the passage of tho exclusion act.

Tho sensational press of tho oast are now engaging in some real pipo dreams of thoir own, and allow acolumu or two of Canadian and American lights on tho Atlin and Porcupine border to oroop into their paper. One good has resulted from this, nnd that fs, as Soapy Smith said, "I owe my success n lifo to tho freo advertising I have received iu newspapers by tho number of lies thoy havo told about me."

Along those hayousaromauymounds or banks of shells of an extinct bivalve. These shells were brought in boats and barges from tho shores of LaboBorgno, helow Uio present city of New Orleans, aud there, on tho shores of Lake Borgno, Lliey had their great storehouses and magazines of shells, aud "Shell Beach" is one of Llio resorts now and yet groat piles of shell*, remain, though countless ages havo passed since lliey wero gathered by thoso people, ami whou wo examine those shell. we lind that thoy Loo, aro an extinct raco of bivalves, belonging to an old geological period older than man himself.

Each fragment of pottery now in existence, when placed under the microscope, shows that one fifth of ils couiposiliou is of fragments ut' these shells. I havo found as many as eighteen jars filled wilh these shells in ouo boat hollowed from a cypress Iree.

(tin* prehistoric mound builders wero purely aud solely an agricultural. peaceful people, while tho Indian was a roving, warlike nomad, and scalped anil destroyed his enemies, just as the Tartars of today do on Lho steppes of Siberia, and, I suppose, ho camo over years after the mound builders had been hero, and captured and destroyed tho whole race, or possibly plague, pes- iileuco or famine may havo swept them from the face of the earth.

A new 7-foot plank walk is in contemplation, dowu throo blocks of llrink street. It will much improve tbo street and should bo dono by all means. Tbe ball given by tho A.A.A.A. Thursday night was a great success and a splendid time was bad. Tho association cleared about 830 above expenses. Robert Middletou, of Alexandria, was married iu Winslow, P.B.I., to Miss Cbowen, last week. Mr. aud Mrs. Mid dlotou will urrivo next wook ou thoir way homo. Chester McAdam loft tbis morning with two men on liis way to the Muhood counlry, whore bo goes to develop somo promising quartz claims that bo located this year. Checkers aro gono for tho season. So mauy men havo neglected tho game siuco work opened up that thero is uo longer tbo interest excited that was shown a few weeks ago. Mrs. P. Webb, of Ashcroft, so long in poor health was taken to Lho Kumloops hospital Thursday nipbt for trentmout. Her many friends hope for ber speedy improvement. G. E. Johnson, during hisreceut visit to tho oust, bought the furniture for bis new hotel. Tbo building will bo very complete aud capable of accom- padatiug a largo uumbet of guests. Tho bill to givo well diggers a lion on the well for services peformed should authorize tho lieuboldcrs to romovi proporty it not paid for.and might also bo mado broad enough to include post holes. Tho party of Peace rivor mon men tioned iu another column wbo bavo boon staying at tlio Cargile Houso for somo days, uro a bright energetic lot of mon, Tlioy should score a success iu tho northern country—a country that is moro than promising and that contains mauy thousands of equaro miles that has nover oven been crossed by a white mau's tracks. Minos that will equal'any"yot (.iVoovbi-ml 'ui'tlio world's history will, wo boliove, bo found in northorn British Columbia. Thore is room for all that wish to come, and Ashcroft is tho natural starting point for that vast Inland empire, whero a splendid macadamized rond loads into the northern interior for nearly U00 miles. H. L. Roberts, for tbo past yoar countaut In P, W. Poster's stores, is in charge as manager of tbo Ashcroft store. Mr. Poster is still iu poor health and contomp'ates a trip to California to recuperate. Trout fishiug is now tbe order of tho day nud good catches are roportod. Tiio Thompson Rivor rainbow trout are caught woigbiug from '» pound to as high a. 9 pouuds, aro gamoy and of splondid flavor. It is yot early in tho season for good sport. James Haddock is now in chargo as manager of tho Asbcroft Hotel, Through his extensive acquaintance and his thorough kuowlcdgo of hotel work, which bo was engaged in beforo coming to Ashcroft, Mr. Haddock will do much to improve tho hotel in many respects. To a certain extent wo are in accord with Mr. Brown's ideas regarding railroad building but cannot agree that railroad competition is unnecessary, aud whilo believing in competitiou in railway extousions and completion, Canada should, so far as possiblo, for hor owu good, havo competition by Canadian lines, and thero should be strict govornmont supervision of tariff ratos, American roads buildiug into tbo Boundary creek country will do much to take the smelting ores outsido tbe province for smelting. This should, if possiblo be guarded against. Wm. Polleys, of Quesnello Forks, an old timer well known as a reliable mining man, mot at Ashcroft this week his son Charles, of New York, and Mr, Matiueaux, also interested in the Gold Point Hydraulic Co., of Quosnollo Forks. A lot of machinery,-including lirst-class pumps of very largo capacity, engines, boilers, etc., manufactured by tbo Northoy Co., Ld., of Toronto, Out., has arrivod hero and is being forwarded to Quosnelle Porks, where it will bo installed. Tho abovo named gentlemen aro spending a few days in Ashcroft awaiting tho arrival of othor parties interested iu their mining projects. Wi H. Boyd, who registers from Fort Selkirk ou tho Yukon was ono of yesterday's arrivals at tho Oriental—glad to be back once moro in Victoria, where ho was for several years a resident. Mr. Boyd wout to tho Yukon at tbo first Hush of tho northern miuing excitement, aud believing thnt the Polly river and its affluents promised to bocomo good gold producers, bo confined his efforts to that section. But tho Polly, he says, proved no good, and ho has uow left tbo couutry fortho simple reason that ho could make nothing in it. BUSINESS LOCALS. Seo Clarke it Co.'s cbaugo of ad.

This is polite, but tho invl tatiou will hardly bo accepted, becauso tho president will not leave tho United Slates during his term of otllco. Thero is no law forbidding him to do so, but tho constitution doos uot provido for such an emorgenoy, and therefore all presidents havo been careful to prevent its arising. NOTICE.
