A Number of Parties from all Over the West Organizing to Start for the Rich Northern Districts of Carl- boo, Casslar, Omenlca, Pence River and Klondike via the "Poor Han's Route.1 Tho ovorlaud routo lo tho Klondike via Ashoroft is fust coming to public attontion us l lit*- poor mini's routo lo tbo famous gold Holds, says tho Spokesman Rovlow. It might, with oquul truth bo termed tho Spokuuo rout.1, for this city Is beyond quest inn tlio natural outfitting nnd supply point foi' nil Americans who desire to onLoi- tho Klondike regions, or others whicli promiso to itttnu't attention iu (lie far north west. A number of parlies nro now organizing to take thn overland route, but most of them will wait till spring beforo making the attompt, Arthur Jordan, who was hero early lost week urmuging to start with a pnrly of six S|mkano mon by October 1, is now hi Snndon looking oftor somo business affairs that require attention beforo lie starts. Uo Is expected hero early this week to complete arrangements for his journey, whieh mnny experienced mountaineers bcliovo is n duugeroits ono at this season of tho yoar. While admitting that tbe trip will uot bo a comfortable one, Jordan insists that it will bo extremely hazardous. He lias uo dilllculty in finding meu who aro moro than anxious to follow bis loud, no matter wheu ho may start. If present arrangements nre carried out, but six meu will accompany him, nnd these will be selected from those who aro accustomed to hardship nud roughing it in the mountains. The Klondike Mining uud Transportation Compauy is a Spokuuo corporation which is organizing a party to yo to Klondike. James H. Mengcuhall is secretary of tho company, uud bus offices in tho Jamieson building, which are crowded eurly und luto with thoso who desire to join tbe party. Thoso who go will form a cooperative company, each having invested uu equal amount aud sharing all losses nnd gains equally. Mr. Mondeubnll refuses to consider tho application of uny but husky, sturdy men who show evidence of the grit and determination so ueces- sary for such an adventure. Tbe routo has not been positively decided upon, though tho Ashcroft way is favorably considered. This compauy already owns n claim on Wild Goose creek, a tributary of Gold Bottom creok, which in turn Is a tributary of tho Klondike. This claim was located by J. Whitman Holmes and is invested by him in the oompauy. Ho states that it was worked last winter by threo miners on a lay and netted 88000 from drifts . thoo-idenoe -[ve- ln theonso, aggregating leas than ten bo- lengths. | d_ -„- t._t Jamcg H„miltou „„,„,. t0 bis death by a gun shot wound, suid gun beiug iu tho bauds of Mrs. Euphe- miti Kabbltt. Aud it is our opinion und belief that Mra. Eupbcntia Babbitt to outfl'l, a mail and start hint on his way to tho gold fields, than ure the Hound cities, und that the route is cheaper besides, It is uu actual fact thut the cost of packing over tbo Chil- kopt uud Skugiiny pusses is greater than the en tin: expense of outfitting uud muklng the journoy by thc overland route. It is essentially tbo poor man's routo and that fact eau uot be emphasized too strongly. "Wo fail to uppreointo, I think, the great interest taken in tho Klondike in tho east," continued tbe doctor. "Wo have hud but u touch of the excitement hero. In the extreme eastern cities thero Is greater interest tukon than bus ever boon manifested iu Spokune. Pago utter pugo is boing devoted to tbo subject und many parties have boou sent north to represent tho newspapers und get lho most accurate news. Tho Chicago Inter Ocoau Is awakening to the feasibility of the overland routes uiul bus sent n party of correspondents iu viu tbe l.dmunlon route. 11 would not. lnke much of un effort to get these papers oftho east to talking of the Ashcroft route us the Spokane route, and it would be a great thing for this city." FIRST CAR OK ORE. The llrsl. cur or oro to be shipped rrom Ashcroft. will take place early next week and will be sent to Butte. Mout.1 from tho Rivors mine on tbe Bona- parte, operated by the B.C. Development Cumpuny. This is n tost cur of ore und tho results of tho first shipment will bo anxiously looked for by pooplo in this vicinity. Thnt tho ore got from the Rivers mino is good is not doubted by anyone who has seen uny of it. The B.C. Development Coinpuny have pushed work steadily on its twelve claims ou tbe Bonupartc, and have not heruldod it all over the couutry, us they uro not selling stock, but are doing legitimate miuing. Leonard W. Parish is in charge of tho work. Comfortable quarters buvo boen built on tbo Bonaparte side of the wagon road.

Of the several routes suggested, the Ashcroft routo seems to be most favorably considered, owing to the good road which cun bo traversed all tho way to Luke Teslin and tbe ouso with which it is suid tbo rest of tho journey can bo made by water. The Edmonton route hns some advocates, but it is suid that it is uot so accessible uor so short as tho Ashoroft route. Dr. D. C, Nowmau continues to tako a lively interest in the project of turning some of the tide of travel this way. He has had a largo correspondence with many in a position to know the Hamilton. The evidence takou was practically the same as at tho inquest. Mrs. Rabbitt was committed to stand her trial at Kamloops Assizes. W. H, Wbittaker und Chas. Wilson, Q. C, will huvo charge of tbo case. Much sympathy is expressed ull through tho district for Mrs. Rabbitt nnd for her family. Ska-way Never Fit for Travel.

The U.S. revenue cutter Grunt, Capt, Manger, arrivod from Uhalusku and brought the latest advices from St. Michaels und the surrounding counlry. Tho str. Bertha arrived at Unnlusku on Sopt. 12th, She reports two Inches of snow ut St. Michaels. There will be a big crowd of returning miners on the str. Portland, and it is estimated that she will bring down three tons of gold. Ou board the Grunt are Capt, Peters and crew, in ull nine mon, of the schooner Nunome, which left Seattlo ou Aug. 10th for St. Michaels with lumber for building bouts for the Yukon river. At 10 o'clock ou tho night of Sopt, 7th, during u dense fog, tho Nunome went ashore on Unink island uud completely wrecked herself und cargo. All on board escaped to laud by means of life lines, which the sailors mrried ashore by jumping overboard aud swimming. Bight days Inter tho captain took three men in n small bout uud rowed from tho wreck for Unnlusku. After pulling for threo duys iu an open bout they wero picked up by tbo str. Dora uud taken to Unalaskn, They were transferred to tbe cutter Grunt, in which vessel they started for the men left on Unink island. After securing them the cutter started for the sound next dny. Tbe first dny out from Unalaska two sailors. Wm. Hood und Otto Severen, wore drowned by being washed overboard while furling the outer jibs. Their bodies were not recovered. Hood wus from this pluce, whero bis parents reside. Sheep Camp Disaster. Skaguuy. Alaska, Sept. 20. Stone- house, ubout two miles from Sheep camp nud sixteen miles front Dyea, en tho Dyea trail, wus visited by u landslide or avalanche Saturday ovoniug lust between liund 7 o'clock. One man wus killed nud twenty tents und llieir contents wore hurled into the Dyea river and floated down tho raging torrent, a total loss. Whon theuvulunche struck the little touted town ut Stoiiohouse, ubout 100 touts filled the narrow gulch, through whioh the rivor swirls und roars ut terrific speed. Weary und worn with the toils of the dny, literally tired out, most of tho dishonrtedod pilgrims were lying iu their tents trying to rest und sleep. Suddenly a llorco roaring wns heard, on tho .mountain side, at the foot of which tho gold seekers wero en- camped. The wholo sidoof tho mountain and the great glacier whioh protrudes ovor its brow, seemed to bo moving dowu on tbo campers below. Tho descent wns not swift at first, but the huge body gaining velocity us it tore down the mountain side, swept everything before it. Tho damage is ostlmatod at 820,000 und tho losses include at least 100 outfits which belonged to men who woro trying to make Luko Lindcnnan iu timo to get down the river this full. Tho avalanche wus caused by heavy rains. All Friday night und Saturday thoro was a steady downpour, and part of tho immense glacier which towers above Stoiiohouse broke away, currying everything before it. Had the avalanche descended in tho middle of tho night when the wholo camp wus wrapped in slumber, the death list would hnvo been uppulliug. The Kaitiloops District. Mr. John Cobbleilick, who represents a large amount of English capital, ar rived Wednesday from Kiimloops, says tho Colonist, having development work vigorously prosecuted on tho Lucky Strike mine, which he recently pur chased. Mt*. Cobbledick is u skilled mining mnu nnd uu observant one, who expresses himself conservatively nnd without uny exaggerated views'. Still it is easily soon ho is decidedly ploasod with tho results so fur obtulnod on tho Lucky Strike, nnd, ns he says quietly and confidently; "I think wo have a good mine." The Kiimloops district Mr. Cobbh dick describes ns a piece of the old world laid bare by glacial erosion. In steiul ol' having high mountains to contend wilh thoro the ice bus doue the work of grinding ofl' tho mountaiu peaks uud whero tho-Lucky Strike is situated seems to be tho remains of u mountain that hus gradually been rasped nwuy, laying bare "tt littlo of tho old world," us Mr. Cobbledick describes it, There wero not any signs of this at first sight, for aftor tho grinding had censed the marks woro hidden by earth lilling up the grooves aud soratchos, so to speak, caused by tbo movement of lho glaciers. Whon tho earth on the surface wus -cleaned nwuy, however, iu opening up the mine, the glucutod surfuce on tho rocks below wus very apparent. Whoro tho shaft bus boon sunk the vein is seven foot wido from wull to wall, uud shipping oro hus been tukon oul from the surfuce down.

Iu fact work is boing pushed ahead so ns to be done before cold weather sots in. Mr. Semlin is iu town, and bis old friends will be pleased to moot hlm ns this is his first trip through tbo valley since lust election. Doubtless there will be some questions to ask aud be answered. However, ho never promised, if elected, to build tho Nicola Valley Railway at once, i.e. Mr. Martin's most solemn promise. The Fern Mine. By tho lutter part of this week tho owners of tho Porn mine, neur Nelson, B.C., expect to bnve thoir new 10-stnmp mill in active operutiou. It is completed, but Jt will tako at least a wook to get the tramway and concentrator in good running order. There aro now throe tunnels in tho mine ut different levels, in all over 400 feet in length. Prom tunnel No. 2 to tttuuel No II uu upraise bus beeu cut. Everywhere throughout the mine thero is u nice showing of ore. A fow duys ago a rich, discovery was mado u ledge of between six and soveu foot in width, which gave assays of between 8300 and 8500 in gold. It is decomposed quartz much like that in the main lend, uud is nil free milling piurtz, The new ledge wus fouud whilo the development work wits going ou below the main lend.

Taking everything into consideration, the ownfU'S of thc Pern may well bo satisfied with thoir proporty. Mr. Veatch, tho superintendent of tho Fern mine wus for somo time in charge of tho cinnibar mino neur Savonas. A circular letter wus received at this olrlco this wook from Opponheimer Brothers, 11 mi tod .wholesale grocers, of Vnncouver, describing tho various routes and giving advice to those intending going to tho Yukon, nlso tho milling laws of thnt district, with a full list of articles necessary to take iuto that country.

Wo print below extracts front the report by H. P. Boll, M. I.C. K., on an exploratory survey for a line of rail way to connect tho Canadian Pacific with Barkerville, showing the distnuce uud cost. Prom tho following it will bo seen thut tho Bonaparte route is the favorite, being lho shortest and cheapest: "Calling now the route by way of tho North Thorn psou rivor and St, Josoph's crook No. 1: that by way of tho North Thompson uud Clearwater No. 2; and that by way oftho Bonupartc No. 3; uud uflixing thoir respective mileages ils before, I estimate their respective cost complete as follows: Route No. 1. :ilHl miles. .8 9,000,000 " 2. 314 miles.. 10,500,000 " 8.- 288 miles.. 7,500,000 "In considering tho what amount of rolling stock should bo included In the above estimate, I have added to tho number of engines and flat cars necessary to ballast 288 miles in two years time fairly woll, cars enough of other descriptions to accomntodute auy proportion that tho truffle would be likely to assume during the first year of operation. "With reference to the southeru portion of tho line, I may direct atteutiou to the fact that the Bonaparte river possesses an advantage over all other routes us a meuus of access to the central plateau of British Columbia, owing simply to the length of its course and the general uniformity of its grade ovor uny given distance. Taking two points in the same latitude, say 51 deg. and 20 miu., one point situate ou th* Bonuparte uud auother on the North Thompson river, it will be seen that the [joint upon tho Bonaparte is nearly three times higher above tho sea level thnn tho point upon the North Thompson, which shows the inferiority of the lutter us uu approach to high eoutigu ons points compared with the Bona parte river. In reference to the question of which of tho routes reported on would bost meet the requirements of tho country, other than those of mining, It should be remembered that the best portion of the North Thompson valley Is already navigable. There is. therefore, no great object to be gained by further serving that district which is already best served. The interests to be served by the Bonaparte route preponderate over those of the North Thompson district, outsido of the valley of tho river itself, is uot capable of much lateral expansion. There are mnny good summer ranges upon the head waters of the Bonaparte, and between there ami Cnnim lake capable of considerable future development." Hy the B. C. Statute-. Tho supreme court has decided in favor of R. T. Daniel iu suits against tho directors of the Gold Hill Miaiag Co., taxing the costs to the latter. Tbis is a case in which the directors were alleged to have attempted to dispose of thc Gold Hill miue to themselves by selling to a brother of the president, thereby shutting out the stockholders. Daniei. one of the largest holders, took tbe case to the supreme court. The case hinged largely ou whether property owned by foreign companies iu British Columbia was controlled uuder the laws of the couutry in which the compuuy wus organized or the laws of British Columbia. This decision determines thut henceforth the operntiousof all foreign com panics must be governed hy the British Columbia statutes. The freight shipments at the C.P.R. station.

Tho Kitwuneool valley, being further inland, in my opinion is lhe proper route for a railway, ns it is wide, level and adapted iu every respect, uud lends up lo the Nuns rivor n few miles ubove Kitlatomuv, where the river is narrow, tlie bunks high, therefore easily bridged: from thence through a level beuchy country, striking tho Stickeen river iu the neighborhood of Glonora on tlie Teslin lake trail. Again I sny, this route cannot be ovoristimatodas there uro hundreds of miles of territory between Stickeen and Dawson city yot to be prospected and muy tic us rich in gold us uny yet found. Bvou n fow miles to tho oust of Hazleton the mountains show every indication as u mineral bearing country. By ull means let that portion of railway trom Stickeen to Teslin luko bo lirst completed; it will open the Stickeen routo nnd bring travel uud truffle to and from the Yukon: undsecondly, from the Stickeeu lo the Kitamaat arm, bringing tho travel to within two days from tho olty of Victoria by steam- or.

Hardwlok returned last Friday evening to Nicola Luke from the scone of the tragedy at Slate Creek uud front them the following particulars huvo been guthorod respecting tho shooting uud death of James Hamilton. It seems thnt W. Kyle, Olo Benson, und tho deceased, James Hamilton, were engaged in mining on adjucout claims iu tho vicinity of and ubout a quurter of u tulle from the residence of Mr. Babbitt, u rancher iu tho Slate creek district, about 12 miles southeast of Granite creok and close by the Tultuncou river. Mr. Rabbitt bad gone away a few miles distant to llttoml to some mail matter uud left Mrs Rnbbltt, with ber three small children, tho youngest still nursing, at home. Messrs. Kyle und Ben sou testified at the inquest that they heard Mrs. Rabbitt screaming and and went to ascertain the eausis when tlioy mot the man Hamilton, who was subsequently shot, coming from the direction of Rnbbitt's house. On being questioned about his actions, ho admitted trying to have some fun with the woman, but nothing serious, and afterwards remarked that he would go buck uud make it ull up. Further t-vi douce wont to show thnt he attempted n criminal assault ou tho woman, but she succeeded in escuping unharmed from hor assailant. Hamilton then returned to his work, but tho woman, terribly excited, went straight to the house, took down a 45-00 Winchester rifle and gavo it to Mr. Kyle, lu a short, time Hamilton returned, when Mrs. Rabbitt took the rlfie from Kyle, who shouted to Hamilton to koep buck, but he uot heeding the advice, the woman fired at 15 or 20 yards distanco, und tho unfortunato mnu, staggoring nud severely wounded, sat down upon u stone.

Sargent, of Tacomn, who has ouly recently returned from England, hits a good story to toll apropos of lhe keen interest evinced in tho Old Country money markets In everything appertaining to Klondike. Ho hud, ii huppenod, witnessed the arrival of tin steamer Portland on her first mentor able trip dowu this year with treasure and being ttie first to roach London whoso eye had seen the much discussed Upper Yukon gold, bis opinion of thc Klondike was, of course, in strong demand, He had not been iu Loudon 24 hours when oue enterprising broker Informed him that he hud organized Klondike compnny, und only wanted the claim that it should.be the mission of this incorporation to develop. If Mr. Surgeut could get n clnim front uny of the minors he hud met u .i'5,000 commission wus waiting for him, Naturally, he tried to meet the demand nud in reply to tho cablegrams the telegraph informed him that the miner he had communicated with would sent to soil u olaim, provided next year's clean up should belong to the original owner, uud u consideration of 81,000,000 be tmmedlutely forthcoming. Even this gigantic proposition did not stagger tho would-be purchusers, nnd they at once cabled buck an alternative offer practically of 8750,000, o' which 8150,000 wus cash down. But the Klondiker was sanguine, nnd adhered to his original proposition. He goes buck iu tho spring to see if his confidence in the golden north is verl fled. What's money for? get good things.

Tho report of the executive committee of the Dominion Trades & Labor Congress for British Columbia, wus submitted to tho recent convention at Hamilton. It contended that the most vital question is that of Oriental labor uud that the congress has for a number of years dono all iu its power to right this grievance, yet they still earnestly request that the cougross will tighten its hold aud bring tho pressure to bear <ou thc Government till it disgorges tho anti-Mongol legislation so loug sought for.

The need of restricting the immigration of Japa- uese coolies, and of making the existing conditions aud naturalization more stringent is also urged.

According to an article iu the luUii.u Agriculturist, .tho better, qualities of Indluu mien ore exported to'England nud tho United States, while the lower grades nro used locally for making small lamps for tho marriage processions of the richer Hindus, White mica is rare iu Boliar, the. best Indian mica beiug ruby-colored, Although mica mining is sometimes very unprofitable, on account of thero boing no certain surface indications of its presence, trading in it is said to bo ver;? lucrative. Tho prosent mica mines are all situated iu tho districtsof Hn- zaribagh and Gya. The minoraUs also fouud in certain parts of Mnnib- hoom, but all attempts to work tho imlnea profitably havo hitherto failed. 'The principal mines in tho Haznribugh district aro Dutnoho Gharanohl, Bo- chngta, Salboya and Kodatria, lu Gya tho mines worked are Slugur, Vita, Chatkuri, Bind, Govindporo und Kora- rama, Tho government leases out land at a fixed rato of Rs. 50 per acre, whilo private lands aro leased by arrangement, Wheu brought out, tho mica yields easily separable layers, tho upper of whioh uro generally cracked and therefore useless, Tho lower layers uro sent to Calcutta; either in blocks or after being cut nud sorted. Tho largest pieces aro about 25 inches long nnd 5 Inches wide. Unstalnod, good ruby-oolorod mien realizes us much as lis. 8011 per mnuiid (maund =-= 180 lbs.), but even higher prices huvo 'boon reached, Ouo specimen from Gya sold lust year for Hs. l.UM per maund, There is ouly one mine, Blr- gur, in Bengal, which yields white mica, uud tliis has been worked for thirty yoars. It is stated that mica trading would bo ovou more prolltublo If tho trader, iustoud of buying In Calcutta-, weut diroct to tho mines to pnrelinse. —Eugiuceriug uud Miniug Journal, NOTICE.
