The secretary of thS Black Jack QfuartJi Mining ctfrffpaf/y; lieffited, received a telegram this week from the capitalists bonding the Black Jack mine, stating that alt financial arrangements had been completed to take over and commence operations upon the mine, and that their representative Mr. S.

Here a scow was built( and after a month's delay they travelled via McLeod laku and Parsnip iivef- to the Big Horn, a tributary of the Peace river, about 4.'.() miles from Soda Creek. The Peace river show- ing poor prospects, owing to tlm very high waters having cut np thu bars, Mr. Cooper and his friends* determined to prospect ihu Big Horn, whioh 19 d Vbry rapid river, running llirough a densely wooded itnd IhottD* tuitions country.

G'__c^JE^XJEaCD^jBi The Holiest of those marvellous auriferous .alluvial deposits are in tlio Caiiljot) ilistiict.a region which, with thn neighbor!tig initios of Onimecn nntl Cassinr, has yiuldod over §(10,000,000 in yellow inetiil sinee their discovery. Cnriboo is yet ii virgin field for the minor, that fabulous output boing the result of esplorulions nnd operations necossarily cotilint'd to tl o stirfiioo, the enormous cost and almost insuperable diill eiltics tif trniiftport'iig heavy machinery necessitating tho employment of lho most primitive appliances ill mining, These obstacles to the lul development of lho marvellously rich gold fields of Cariboo havo been largely overcome by the construction of the Canadian Pacific railway, nud the improvement of tlio great highway from that railway to northern British Columbia, with tho result th.it the work of development has been vigorously antl extensively prosecuted, During the past two years several costly hydraulic plants have been introduced by dil*. fcront wealthy mining companies which aro now operating well-known claims with most gratifying results, and there is every prospect of a second golitoh harvest which in its immensity and value will completely overshadow that which made Cariboo famous thirty years -ago. Several very promising quitrtz bearing locations aro also being developed in the Lillooet district, and as machinery capable of treating the refractory ore on the most improved methods will soon be imported, the excellent results already attained are attracting miners and mining men in large numbers. The Cariboo region and northern interior of British Columbia can only be reached by railway to Ashcroft, thence by stage. Traveling by day only' Quesnelle and other points are reached in three days, Barkerville in four. Tho roads arc excellent, aud the stopping places convenient. Ca i boo Wagon Road Directory.
