R., a river route on tho Prasor, with the exception of rapid water at two points, viz., Cottonwood und Port George canyons, to tho upper end of Stuart's luko, u distauoo of about 500 miles from Ashcroft. The two canyons referred to have beeu examined and reported on by competent authorities who say that at low water a few thousand dollars will blast nut the rocks and make the stream navigable for ordinary steam vessols. An appropriation was once obtained for the purpose but not sufficient to do thc work properly, although the steamer Charlotte will, it is said, attempt to make the trip as tlio river now is. By tin- route abovo Mentioned goods could belaid down at the upper cud of Stuart's lake, lu the heart of a rioh mining couutry, for about il cents per pound, which us it now is, costs the Wright and Black companies, near there, about III to '.'i> cents. Above Htnurt's hike is a con tinuation of water ways. Tat-chm-river Cross Lako mid Into North Tatlah hike and on up Driftwood rival: to Port Connelly. All of thoso streams and hikes are navigable I'or small bouts und cimld be easily inudo iiitostenmer way Kurt Connelly is about 225 miles from Telegraph Croek, where the proposed railroad will run to Teslin lake and down Teslin lako to the Klondike. Tho route from Port Connolly to Telegraph Creek is through a series of plateaus well covered with grass and roads and trails eau be easily made. Tho entire route from Ashcroft to the Klondike can bo easily traveled with puck animals und good feod for them tho en- tiro distance. The total distance to go iu by way of the lino indicated would be about 1,000 miles from Ashcroft and tho most of the way good time could bo made. It is through the best mineral country in the world uud it is fair to expect that as rich pay will be taken out of the as yet unprospected creeks of Cariboo and Cassiar as has ever been found in the Yukon. What is urgently needed is an appropriation from tho Dominion Government to open up the Praser to navigation and to make trails and roads. In tbis lutter the Provincial government would no doubt assist largely. The telogrfffffi" Hue should bo extended from Barkerville or Quesnelle to the interior to connect the new mines with the outside world. The fact tbat within the last few days enquiries havo been made as to the distance, etc., via the route indicated, goes to show thut there is at least a chance that tho telegraph line which will be built within a year will be the continuation of the Barkervillo Hue The members from Cariboo, Lillooet aud all sectious of the Province should second vigorously the efforts of Senator Reid and Mr. Bostock to secure appropriations for tho opening of the country to navigation and pack teams. Should tho Yukon roports continue as favorable as unw seems to be the case thore will bo work for many thousands of men in the Klondike and if so there will be tens of thousands who will visit that couutry next spring who will not makeustako in tho northern country and will drift south. Cassiar,Omineca and Cariboo will faro well in the general shaking up that from tho present outlook a quarter of a million or more of peoplo will givo tho Northwest within a year. Vet Richer Creeks. Whilo the government are extremely reticient as to tho latest advices from Surveyor Ogilvie and luspector Cou stantino, the fact has leaked out that thoso officers have assured their departments that scores of miners aro de- sorting Klondike for a richer district further east, believed to bo the Stewart river, whore it is said still more wonderful deposits have been discovered this spring. A special session of thc cabinet was held on Monday to deal with questions affecting the government of the Yukon district, tbe collection of tho revenue therein and tho establishment of competent authority to euforco law aud or der in the new gold Holds. The arrangement entered into with the Uuited States treasury department by tho Minister of Customs was approved. This plan provides for tho establishment of a customs port and po lico station at Lake Tagisb, the eonflu euco iu British territory loading from the Dyea inlet, tho privilege having been uucoi'ded of a lauding place at Dyea on Lynn canal. Tho additional police will consist of a dotuohmont of 80 men, making with tho _u> already lu a forco of 100 meu. Tho officers will bo invested with tbo powers of justice of tho peace. A now post is now being constructed at Dawson City. The ministers decided to open up oorrcspondoiK'o with Washington [ur the purpose of securing the consent of the United States government to utilization of this way for tho trans pyrt of Dominion forces and supplies through the disputed territory between tido water and tho lutertor But It was decided not to entertain thu proposition to euforco tho alien labor law iu tbe Klondyke country. But as effects the mining interests, perhaps tho most important decision the output of the placer diggings, Un der the new mining regulations estub lishod last Muy tbo cost of registering a claim was increased from 85 to Sin, while au annual assessment of $1(10 is to bo paid by tho holdors. What the government has now decided to charge In-Addition to this is a royalty of 10 per cent, upon thc output of all chums yielding over 8500 por month. It has also boou decided to reserve to the Dominion every alternate claim in placer grounds henceforth staked off. Among those posted in mining matters the opinion is freely oxi tossed that the government has bitten off considerably moro than it will bo uble to chew in regard to this royalty, inasmuch us it. will be next to impossible to so supervise the output iif these thousands of Individual claims as In -.oiled royalty upon the exact yields. QUGSNt.LI.t3. Till! l>RUI>OSI:l> RI-UHI.ATION.*.. Referring brielly to the roportod in tention of tbe Dominion government to hold alternate claims on the Yukon as a reserve, wo said yesterday that it luul some good features. After cousld ering it more fully, we must say that the proposal seems an impossible one, It Is vory doslrablo that the country should get as much out nf the gold mines us can bo reasonably obtained: but we ure ut a loss to see how alternate claims cun be retained by tho government. Suppose two mon go into a district and stake out adjoining chums, must oue of them give his claim up to the government'. And if so, which one'. We can understand how if tbo government should prospect tho wholo country uud stakeout claims it might sell every alternate one, but it passes our comprehension how they cun talk about every alternate claim now. Suppose n man finds a claim at thc mouth of a stream and there is not/ another claim within five miles of it, will the next claim bo retained by the govemmont? Tho proposition seems on examination to be such an impossible ouo that we can hardly think auy attompt will be made to carry it out. As to the proposod royalty, it is so enormous that itcau never be collected, gold is easily smuggled out of a country and if a large royalty is exacted, it will uot be paid. If tho royalty were a reasonable figure, say 5 per cent., tliero would be uo disposition on thc part of somo minors to shirk it, but wc fear tho majority would, as was the case when Sir James Douglas attempted to collect it royalty on Cariboo gold. If twenty or twenty-five per ceut. is exacted, a premium will be placed on smuggling outwards, aud unless the government is prepared to station an officer ou every claim, it would be impossible to collect the amount. If the report from Ottawa is correct, one is almost justified iu considering that tho government has lost its head over ,tho gold craze. We tell them very frankly that if thoyatteiupt to enforce regulations for tho reservation of alternate claims and tbe collection of ox- lesslve royalty, thoy will bring nbout a state of anarchy ou the Yukon, The government should also be very careful lest in seeking to get a revenue out of tho mines, it forces the miners to do thoir purchasing of supplies out of Canada, as they will do if they smuggle out their gold." Iu thc foregoing article taken from Thursday's Colonist, tbe facts are plainly stated nud can not be too tlior oughly impressed on tbo "powers that be" to attempt to hold every alternate claim and collect '20 per cent of the balance of the gold taken out. Chargo 815 for a liceuso and 8100 per year fee, and then givo the miner a chance to make mines for tho government by do velopiug their owu first, is tho most idiotic twaddle over proposod by any government. A reasonable tax should be paid, tho proposed one is not reasonable und no man that has tho faintest conception of abovo condition of tho true state of affairs iu the Klondike could advocate it. Work on the Cottonwood mines is progressing fairly well, much of tho flume work is now being pushed ahead hy contractors. Thoro is reported to be work for all tbat apply and no idle men are to bo found at Quosnollo. Work ou the M. -fc M. mines is goliig on well and tho returns from their wash up aro suid to bo satisfactory. The cut Is boiug rapidly pushed buck into the buck uud higher benches mnl u largo body of pay gravel is now iu sight. Tho Cliiueso are working tho North Star mlue nu a lay, receiving about 05 per centof tho gross output. They are pushing back for the upper benches, where I here is heavier gold uud doopor bunk. The business bouses here ure prosperous und all nf the hotels soom to bo lining a good business. The Occidental is crowded ull of I be time. Tho Armstrong house has been recently added too and is filled to its utmost capacity all of tbe time. There is no place in Northern British Columbia where a more complete stock Of goods can be fouud than ut the two stores iu Quosnelle, James Rold's uud the Hudsons Bay Company's. Both carry enormous stock selected purposely for tho northern trade, Thoir experience as old and established houses gives them tho advantage of knowing what class nf goods to carry for the northern mining country. Klondikers need not quarrel with either tbo Seattlo or Victoria merchants about rates and import duties, for they eau be well supplied with proper outfits by going in via Quesnelle, and it uow looks us though, from the enquiries made about the route that next season many will tako puck trains through Cariboo, Ominecauud Cassiar, and, if tlicy do uot strike it sooner, on to [the Klondike, passing through on tlieir way u thousand miles of rich gold bearing country uot as yet prospected. Bonanza and Eldorado creeks will yet be fouud on the route mentioned. The Big Lake Mining Compnny are working eight meu on their mines, sit- uuted ubout .10 miles from the Cottonwood House near the Praser :iver. They are paying 82.30 per day und board. John Leiser is foreman and thoy are taking out more than expenses iu sluiuiug and doing other work on the claims. The company have 85,000 on baud for development work aud will put in a hydraulic plant iu tho early spring. Tho government will do some work iu the way of trail aud road building for the Big Lake section. The company have leases on about throe miles of creek bod nud benches. It is uTacomaoutfit and the owners seem well pleased wilh the outlook. Mr. Sidney Williams, P. L. S., wus last week, Saturday, at Quosnelle, united iu marriage to Miss Agues Shepherd, of Barkerville. Tho young people will make their home at Quesnello, where Mr. Williams has a ranch aud is doing a good and rapidly increasing business as laud surveyor. Mr. Williams cume to Quosuollo from Vancouver two years ago nud Mrs. Williams was born aud hus lived ull hor life iu Curiboo. induced to go in via Cariboo, think of tho amount of business it would bring. Let each merchant that wishes to soil goods, each stock man that hn cuttle aud horses to sell, each mining mnu witb property that be wishes the outside world to know of, each lintel man to whom this immense traffic would mean many dollars, write their views as above suggested. A careful study of the different ideas will be given and wo may be iu shape before the meeting of the next Parliaments, Provincial uud Dominion, tn state through a proper medium what wo desire our representatives to do.

The Poison Act. The attention of the public is called to section i of the Poison Act, which is as follows: " Evory person who shall placo auy poison outside of his owu building-or outbuilding for the destruction of noxious animals or for any purpose whatever, shall give notice to all persons or families residing within one milo of tbo place, where such poison is used by posting notices iu throe of the most public places within one mile of where said poison is to be put out." Por violating this section a parson, shall bo liable in treble damages to auy person whoso proporty is Injured thereby, besides a beiug liable to a fine of 825 or imprisonment for sovou days. Tho provincial police will most rigorously prosecoto auy person against whom thoy can obtain evidence for tho infraction of this act. Somo of tho people of Ashcroft should be a little more careful iu thc promiscuous distribution of poison. HARK I.R VILLI:. Work is being resumed by the Carl boo Gobi Fields on u huge scale ami there are few idle mon hero now. Tho French people seem disappointed with the quartz showing and are dropping tbeir bond ou most of the properties thoy bud terms on, Many hero do uot think their development work has been dono to good udvuntuge. The three ohiuumon hydraulioklug with a small pipe on tho Blackjack washed up SI.IHH) a few duys ago uud would have made a much better clean up but for a big cave of ground coming down that interfered with a section of their flume. They expect to make another and larger clean-up yet this sea sou. It is reported that A. H. Sroufo struck a rich streak of gravel ou bis claim neur Pleasant Valley croek and In seven days cleaned up 870. Unfortunately the pay streak did not hold out butthe ground Is well worth spend ing time to thoroughly prospect. The tunnel thnt is in on tho Devil's Canon road to tap tbe little lake bus not been disturbed since Keiglor died from tbo bad air. Tho tunnel is very nonrly through aud will be completed this winter, when the air is expected tn be bettor. The tunnel seems filled with white damp and nil bousider it dangerous to undertake work there at present. It is thought that when the water is drained off good ground will be found iu the bottom and tho sides of tho lake. Good pay was taken out in early days all around tho lako and as deep down us long bandied shovels would reach. Tho claim on Pleasant Valley creek, which was so promising last yoar has not this season done as well as was expected. Some of tho deeper ground that was thought to bc good does not show up well. Prospect holes are beiug sunk and much work will yet be done ou tbe claim, on whicli there is ut least some rich ground. At Stanley last Wednesduy night the event of thirty years accumulation occurred. A genuine, thorough, old time dunce, attended by all iu tbo vicinity, men who hud worked for "20 years wicb a stoop when they heard tho inspiriting strains of the violin and organ and tho merry call, "balance to partners," got right iu and stepped out time like professionals. A great time it was aud the visitors thoroughly enjoyed seeing the good fellowship that prevailed. Historic Quebec. Mining Near Klondike. About '400 meu will be at work for tho Goldon Rivor Quesnello Company, arrived at ia to Impose a royalty upon near Quosnelle Porks, in September, Every hotel uiiu, store keeper or business man of any kind who feels interested lu the Cariboo, Lillooot. Onii- uocn, Cassiar or Peace river country aro requested to sond in to the MINING JOURNAL a letter with tlieir views of what steps should bo taken to try to Induce some of tho many thousands of prospectors who will in the early spring begin to pour into the Klondiks country from every part of tho world togo iu via Oarlboo, lt Is believed by thoso woll Informed that a telegraph line will be built from Quosnello straight through to Alaska. It Is the only practicable route. .\ vigorous effort should be made t o got a largo party of workmen pushing ahead to make trails and reutovo obstructions from tho streams between Quosuollo aud tho Klondike country. It is not too muoli tu say that if tlio reports whicli havo been received of the extent and marvellous richness of tho country aro confirmed that 250,000 prospectors will swarm to the Northwest within a year. H 10 per -.'out. of these can be Prom Quebec, Canada, a correspondent writes to tho Paris Daily Messenger: ■ "Ici ou parle francais" might be written on the portals of this quaint and picturesque old city. Strolling in lower Quebec you might easily fancy yourself iu Amiens or Dieppe. In tho upper town thoro is more English, but everywhere an amusing mixture. On the same card you will read "Maisou a Jones," and "Houso to Let"; on one side of tho door "Pas d'adinissiou suns affaires," and ou the other "No admittance except ou business." This bilingual necessity causes a little extra painting and printing. Each railway crossing must bo marked likewise, "Traverse duehcnien defer," uud every official "notice" must bo printed also iu full as an "Avis." Tbe blending is often curious, as whon two adjoining shops havo their announcements one in French and tue other in English. Along tho Grande Alice, running right across the Plains nf Abraham, you might bo in Brussels or Paris, ouly that "Clifton Terrace" seems to recall you to Kensington. Travelers for whom Europe is too distant, are advised to go to Quebec, there to find a bit ofthe medieval Old World transplanted to the Now, but still embalmed in its ancient religions sentimental ism, upon which the rush and roar of modern uu- restproduce ils little effect as the Atlantic breakers ou tho cliffs of Cape Breton. French continues uppermost until you puss Montreal, but from Ottawa aud Kingston to tho Pacific the legeud of tho nearly universal tongue is like that of tho Paris shopkeepers, who auuouncL'd "English spoken." In most of the best schools English is taught, and a large number of the people are conversant with both languages, English being iudispeusublo i'or commerce. Tho Seattle company known as the Templar Mining company thnt did n littlo work on a creek near the mouth of the Cottonwood have given up work for tho -prosent, not having sufficient money on hand to do a sufficient atuouut oil work to prove their claim. 1 believe that miners will drift south from Klondike and north from Cariboo until they will prospect that Whole northern country and provo that it is gold bearing clenr through." So said Dr. P, S. Reynolds, editor of the fi. C. Minino Journal of Ashcroft Who is at the Butler with Mrs. Roy' uolds.ton representative of the Seattlo Post-rntolllgouoor. The doctor is an American, who has mado bis home in Canada, and while he extols the glorious cllmata and fishing of his new homo, grows enthusiastic over the life anil business activity of Seattle. Con- tinning on tho JnovitubJe topic u-r the Klondike, he said: If Seattle is building on the hopo of bidding the trade ol' the Yukon, or that portion of it in British territory, it would be well to bear iu miud that British Columbia or Canada is likely to adopt and enforce such regulations as will give Victoria and Vaucouver a fair share of the trade. Tbe provincial legislature camo neur passing a law which would have provented American citizens or any others not naturalized from holdiugu miner's license or other privileges, and would have at least seriously interfered with their miuing activity in any part of Canada. A measure of this kind came within one vote of booomiuglawat tbe last session of tho provincial parliament at Victoria. The agitation on tbo subject was, perhaps, brought about more by unwise attempts at discriminating legislation against Canadian subjects that were engaged In various occupations along the border states. British Columbia has imposed a tax of 1 per ceut. on the gross output of all the mines, and it is quite likely that the Dominion will impose an export duty on the product of the gold mines. As to the trade nl' tho Yukon, many of the goods used there are of American make and have to be bought in tiie States anyway, whether directly by the miner or by tho morchiint who sells to him at Victoria. Changing the subject, to mining operations iu the Cariboo, uud talking or great developments, he said: ■The Cariboo Hydraulic company, which made a cleanup of over 872.000; will soon bo ready to make another of about tho same amount, and will probably wash ubout 8200,000 this season. The Horsetiy Hydraulic company, after washing for the first year, in which it took out 805,000, found that there waa to much cement in the ground for successful operations by this method, put in a 10 stamp mill, whioh started July 10, and crushes 120 tons a day. In the same camp the Miocene Mining company, a San Francisco outfit with Senator Campbell at its head, has a shaft lown 240 feet, sinking for the bed of the old channel, aud has put in ma- hinory to sink deeper. The theory of a numbor of experts is that the old channel is here 1,000 feet wide and that the Praser, Clearwater. Quesnelle, and perhaps other streams formerly passed through it. This theory is well borne out by tho fact that the Horsetiy Gold Miniug company has shown the present channel of the Horsefly river to be simply a crosscut of the old channel. This mine is being worked by two hydraulic elevators and will make a good showing. Nearly forty miles of this old .channel have now beeu located, and if Campbell finds it rich enough to drift, hoist and wash the gravol, there will be n great deal of now work. As regards tho property of the Maude Miniug company, on which Col. Pishback attempted to make a deal, J. Henry Addioks hus made the second payment of 85,000, and the owners have given him till January to pay the other 890,000, The people are working at Barkerville and the Porks quite extensively with rather promising prospects. "Aboutsix hundred men are goiug in tbe early part of the season for var ions companies 600 miles north of Ashcroft, to Munson creek and othor streams. Ono of these is tbo Forty- third Mining uud Milling company ot Ottawa, which is putting in hydraulic elevators at Mauson creek. Captain Black's party of Victoria bus 100 men at work on Slate und Mauson creeks in the same section, and within the past two months a New Jersey. New York and Philadelphia syndicate bus located for dredging purposes 80 miles of the Fiudloy, Nation and Parsnip rivers, in that same section. Thoy have engl neors thoio now preparing to put in a sawmill imd establish a - Lako in 150 to ..'. '■' mei p:*op.<ue to put in six dil Ij ; - iv) ._» the season next ycoi. Several Seattle outfits are iu that section. Clarence Coulter and his rather are thorp to investigate socio proporty in which It. B. Brierly, became interested last year, and which bus the reputation of being good. " Aslicrolt is the distributing -point for that whole section, uud Quesnelle is one of tho busiest towns, with somo of tbe most euterpi'isiug men. Alliu nil, the country is iu a highly prosperous condition, but it has room for plenty of capital to bo invested in conservative mining properties." The C.

VICTORIA, IS, L. #f Those Carrier I'lj-eons. Washington, July 22.—Prof. Willis L, Moore, chief of the weatlior bureau, was very much interested in tho reports cnbled from Christiimiii Norway, that u carrier pigeon arrived yesterday bearing the message .stumped on its winy: "NortliPolo, 142 W., 17.02." Professor Moore, although ho believes that ii sufllcleut time bus elapsed for the report of such a message, is inclined to look upon the report as a canard. If tho bird hud been f rood by Andree lie thinks the ring on its foot would havo been marked with his name and the messiiRO would have been signed. He also points out the fact that the message was not dated. After careful consideration of atmospheric conditions, ho predicted that if Andree had reached tho polo the air currents would carry him out on almost the longitude indicated. With regard to Andree's means of locating the pole, Prof. Bigelow. the magnetic expert, says he would unquestionably use the navigator's sextant. The sun is always above the horizon at this time of year, and thoro would ho no diflloulty in gelling observations. Stuck ho I in. July 22nd. -The Aflon- blat. which liu* close rotations with Uorr Andrco, says that Andree could llOt have despatched lhe pigeons re onfly caiighl in the neighborhood or Soovdo, nml neur lYoillsoo island, be cause it was arranged I lial his pigeons should bo ninrlcod with tho words, "An ilroooxpodltlon.A. I). 1807." Dr. Iflkhola, who was associated wilh Andree lu the preceded Imloon er.pe.Ii Honor lllfli year, dot's not believe the carrier pigeon onught on Tuesday in tbo neighborhood ol Soovodo, in l.lgy Ike. with il silver ring on one of its leel, and tho mossago, "North Polo, IWWj ■17.112," on ils wing, is one of Andree's pigeons. He says Andree's pigeons do not wear silver rings on tholr logs and they have ' Andree" slumped Oil llieir wings. Moreover, he is conlldenl timt Andree would not send such ail obscure message. Qold Shipped in Barrels. A Whatcom tailor has received the following letter trom bis brother iu Alaska: "Thingsare booming, aud the country is immensely rich, much better than is reported. Anything you j hear, you believe it. I saw coal oil cans full of gold at one claim, and there are about 000 just like it. Tho claims would average about &00 feet square, with about j to eight feet of pay dirt; saw them clean one sluice box and the gold was visible in piles, A fellow ran his shovel bundle through it and worked tbe gravel and sand out, aud when he got through he had a pile abOllt tli. steo of my hut. 'How's that?) But tbis is a hard couutry, and no pudding for anybody, and generally when a man strikes it ho gets out ofthe couutry. Tlm bout left two days ago. and one store closed to make ready to ship the gold. There was so much they shipped itiu barrels. Well.l dou't expect to get many barrels, but do expect to get oue small one. The wages are ?15 for miners and flO at ordinary work per doy." Crow's Nest Railway. Men are arriving daily trom the east and west to work on the Crow's Nest Pass Railway. Contractor J. _-. Kennedy of Winnipeg and Ilo men with horses and implements arrived last night. H. Maun from Trail Creek is also ou his way with an outfit to start work. Actual work on the road is progressing wonderfully, and for miles along the line there is one living stream of men and horses to be seen all on the move, shoveling, digging, levelling and in fact everything looks favorable for a spv-edy completion of the road. Kvery day the Alien Labor Law is being enforced and Uncle Sam is getting some of his own medicine back that he has so thoroughly dosed the Canadians with. It is believed the contract work went at au extraordinary low llgure, but if so, it is a good thing in one way as it preveuts the subletting to minor contractors to a great extent, thus putting all on a more equal footiug and preventing oue party from getting all thu prolits while on the other hand the other party is doiug all tbe work. Hasten Slowly. A Paper Already .Seattle, July 22. ThoKlondyke is to havo that indispensable adjunct to civilization, a newspaper. It will be a weekly, published at Dawson City by l.W. Scott, a practical printer, aud Jack Oarr, an till-round rustler. "Tho Yukon Nugget" is to bo the title of the publication. It will be issued in pamphlet form, on thin but tough paper. The introduction of a printing plant to tho Klondyke would have been a matter of great diflloulty were it uot for tho transportation Hue iu which Can- is interested. Tho Gordon press will be taken north on thc steamer Eliza Anderson . Transportation for tho outfit, was refused by tho North American Transportation A- Trading Company, and it was only the energy of Jack Oarr in pushing to tin-front an opposition enterprise which made tho 'Yukon Nugget" a possibility. J. W. Scott, who will attend to tho iiile work of the paper, was formerly attachotl to tho provincial government printing oltice at Winnipeg. He Ie experienced printer, and is capable of making tho "Yukon Nugget" a success t'ul publication. NOTICE.

W., says that Frank Butler, the Australian bush murderer, was xecuted yesterday. He confessed to having committed four murders. The crime for which Butler paid the death penalty was the murder of Capt. Lee Weller, whom he induced logo with him on a prospecting uotr .ami whom he shot after tbey hud arrived in the bush. After the murder of Capt. Weller. Butler escaped from Australia on the ship Swtmhilda, but upon the arrival of that vessel at San Francisco on February '2 last, he was arrested aud subsequently extradited, The plea of the defense at the trial was that Capt. Weller committed suicide. Among the murders with which Butler was charged was that of a metallurgist named O. C. T. Preston. Early on the morning of his conviction Butler attempted to commit suicide by cutting his throat with a piece of tin. but was seized before ho bad done himself any serious injury. Later he made the most violent resistance to his keepers while ou the way to the court house. Ilo fought with them like a wild beast and was with difficulty subdued. The murders committed by Butler ire tbe most cold blooded on record. Cruelly to Animals. If you have a mino the values of which you are not saving, hasten slowly about putting in a cyanide or chlorination or other plant. Spend some money rather in having a carload or more treated by some skilled chemist, exhaust lirst every ingenuity lo save your values economically liy mo- chauical means and bear constantly in mind that it .requires first a certain class of ore and next great skill to make profitable either cyaUido or chlor ine treatment. The class of ores which are adapted to cyanide or chlorine treatment is small and chemists skilled iu the work are rare: therefore, you cannot be too careful about adopting tho advice of every person who you may talk with regarding ore production and gold saving. The stamp mill, concentrator and smelter will for a lung time to come play the most important part iu_ gold saving, however great the cost, oj; loss appear to bo. - M liiing. ■■__•_■ A I'tiisiK-tor Missin«.

As is now almost, universally the custom among largo feeders and shippers, be luul them dehorned and from this seemingly cruel treatment sprang their affliction, One at a time tbey had been driven into a chute, fastened head and foot by an automatic arrangement, and with a common saw had been dehorned by a professional dehorner at urate of three cents a head. The wounds did not heal but grow virulant, and gradually they bo- came frenzied with pain, The owner called a veterinary and had one uf the brutes examined, lt was found that the top of its head was infested hy maggots Unit had consumed tho flesh to the bone. With great diflloulty tho cattle were driven singly into the chute where they had boen dehorned, and the veterinary operated upon them, cleaning the decaying flesh with acids and applying restoratives. Ouly five died of the dohornlug, but had the treatment been delayed a few hours none of I hem could havo been saved, h hereby given, that iit the expiration of sim v days I intend tn m>i>lv tn tht-chief coin- missiono. nf lands ami works fnr nerniissionto [ititvliuM- t*in acres of -.asliir.il land situated in the I.illnnet district and described as fnlinws: cnnnneiicinii ,-,t inihal jmsi A.II., al what is kniiwn ;is »-Mile lake.nne inik- and a half iinitli nf St. Petera serines, thence- east -10 ■■Mains, theme smith 10 elidins, thence west 40 ■liain-. llience mirth lo chain-■* 'mint of emu. uience. .VrtH'STINI-; UnlTANIU. lath July, 1H07. tl-JO.

Iu reality there has been no delay. People went wild with excitement over the stories thoy heard about the richness of numerous mines, and boiif-ht stock with an idea that thoy ■ould be able to realize a thousand per ceut. on their investment in !M) days. Iu many eases their stock instead of advaueiup depreciated iu vnl- ue but the fact remains that the mining possibilities on tho seaboard aro more promising than ever, and 100 per cent, more development work is being dono thau during the excitement but tbo element of speculation does not now cuter into miuing on the coast." The bicycle is every day beiug used more from a business standpoint of view, and as the lad period is dying out the manufacturers are of the opinion that the llxed prices will also pass, and in a short timo plain, serviceable wheels will he sold at, moderate prices and the more ornamental ones will bo more costly, and it is about time thai the makers are aboul to consult tho ppolcots of lhe buyers when you come It) consider that it only costs §1(1 to S'-H) to set up a llrsl class wheel 875 lo>?100 are outt'ogootis prices.

Micky paid it over again and so the process continued until tho kog was empty and the two proprietors were decidedly drunk. As each had paid twopouco for overy drink and thoro wero llfty drinks lu the keg, oaoh agreed that thero ought to bo Hs, Id. to divide between them, As lu fact thore was only twopence each accused tho other of stealing tho proceeds.
