Quesnel Forks, Oct. 30th, 1800. Editor ABICMV* JoCBKAl., Sir: I have received-from you « roqupst for a discussion upon tha Placer Mininp Amendments. This i i a good movo on your pari. Ido tint thiuk thut t uin pvitiinp ii too Htroigly when X say that iht present Plucer Mining Act te calculated to crush the placer miilBg indMlry, more CHiwciully in the older diHtriiitn Htiuli an Cnribno, Cassiar and Omenica. In thr*.o plecee the ehaUow ground is practically worked out und the pro- hlem resolves itself into a question of tho exploitation nnd working ot j,u lllon-' extenefre hud-taper 4epotfiteou*alarge scale, which necessarily involves llio nsetf eapilal. Thai valuablennd extensive deposits of thin kind exist thi*ro ran lw no doubt* Th* Subject therefor te one of very grout importation lo thu country, in fact the future development fliid success of Cnriboo und othor plucer mining district* depends wholly upon thin rovlhilon of the Placer Mining Act. A good dlwuesian In yonr valuable papor will hu ol groat service, and bu Ihemeitus of bringing out valuable suggestions, luudeiHtund thutu commission la iu bu appointed io look inlo this raittiT of u proposed revision oftho Act. I would suggeet tlmt practice, placer men from the varioitH dietrlett- hu uppoitUod on this CommiMNioi. nnd thatthedoUU'omiulHHioncr of the diHtrlcl ho one. Public meeting muid -be held et tho virions coutrofl und tho vtows of thu peoplo obtain- ed. The older placer mining districts uru in the development stago ul present so far an the d.-eper deposit* are concerned. If tlih indristry te encouraged byjitdi- clou* legislature, It will succeed hm quart), mining haa succeeded. Thin enn best be done by punning laws: lit. Which will entourage tho prospector to nook for placer miniug ground, uutl to tin some preliminary prospecting to show whothor lho grouud if. roliablo or uol, All few, charges and working conditions should lw light enough to on- courage hlm to hold the ground by doing actual work upon it nud aot by muking caah payniouh) in lien of work. Actual work prospects u property und does good not only to the individual hut to the community nt largo. ?3d. Which will encourage the eupltulfst to visit tlie country und to examine it lor himself. By giving him a good title to ground which ho may acquire. By help in building roads and trail.- nud by allowing hiui to use timber for his own t»e without charge, ond, in whorl, by showing liiin that he is wanted, uud thnt he will receive every encouragement. I shall refer to (1) deep placers (2) creek placer claims (8) dredging cljiimt. which arc now held under the Leasehold system. . Deep Placer Claims. Thoy ahall he rectangular in shape us neur as possiblo and marked by four posts and surveyed linen joining thorn, they shall be 80 acres iu urea. Thoy shall not extend more than 1600 foet in width along nny auriferous Mreum or ancient channel. When.laid out to cover un ancient channel which may lto marked by u stream depression they muy groan tho stream and tako in thr full width of tho valley so far as the size of the claim., nn signified alono will allow. Creek Placer Claims shall be on unworked or abandoned creek-.. They shall be h mile In length ond shall include adjacent benches not more thuu 15 feet nbovo low water mark. Dredging claims shall be 5 miles in length and shall be divided Into two rksm, (1) Small streams less than 100 feet in width which shall include adjacent benches not more than 10 leet above low watoi mark. (2) Large streams 100 foet or mora In width. They ahall include nil tho stream below low wator mark. In many places in the'Quesnel nnd otber strenms o! the larger kind tlio deposit is not more than two feet helow low wnter mark und tho present aide bouniuies of all below the level of two feet bolow low water is absurd for it takes .way much of the ground in thc larger streams and praclie/lly nil of it in the smaller streams. I will consider both the Leasehold system nud tho Crown Grunt system of holding plucer mining claims, and tho above speclBed descriptions of tlie sizes etc. ot claims shall be the same for both. A modttiethtnd revised Placer Mining Act on tho Leasehold (system with radical changes mainly In tho fees, charges, rentals uud rapiirod work would be :i great improvement on the existing Act. On n deep placer mining claim there is an-wmunl rental of 950.00 and nu annual expenditure in work of $.000. On the creek plucer mining claims the rental is ♦75.00 uud required work $1,500 each year. In both eases it per cent, In cash muy bo paid in place of the work. Now I consider partial cash payments in placo of work to be a very bud system. It is, of course,** source ef revenue but it ties the land up without being prospected and it is » drag on tho community. If cash is accepted it should he for the full amount and the ground will thou liu either worked or abandoned. These two clauses in Deep Placer Mining Claims und Creek Claims should come undor one heading us regards fees, set the annual rental to be $25.00 and tlie annual work #100 or the full amount In cash. Theu enforce the. law, uud if the conditions are not complied with cancel thc tense. Dredging Lease*. Class No. 1. Annual rental for the whole lease $50.00 and annual expenditure in work $100 on the whole claim. Class No. 2,the huge stream. The rental for tho whole lease shall bc $180 per annum and the yeurly expenditure in work on tho whole lease shall be $200. In all placer mining property held as leases if work in excess of the stipulated amount is performed it shall hold tho property in succeeding years till it is expended in that way. In the waft of MfQWHty h.pli_| under any law v'wprk" shall menu: The cost p.fice of plant wlien it has been shipped to tho mine, and its carriage, up to thai point. The building of dams__ resevoirs, ditches, pipe lines, flumes,mills,bridges fcadi and all wo$k which has ft direct bearing on the development of the claim. Wnter Right in the caso of a Leasehold aud Crown Grant property slmll mea:* the right to nse unappropriated water, thc right of wuy to build dums, ditches, flumes, reservoirs and pipe lines ou unoccupied ground. Lot nil tho rights aud privileges last until tho claims ore worked out or abandoned. Specify where the wuter is to be taken trom, and where used. The ditch, Hume etc. to be the property of tho owners after the chums lire worked out or abandoned. For this charge an annual fee of $20. Crown Grant System, I personally am strongly in favor of the system of holding placer mining claims as Crown Grunts till It Is worked out or ubnndon- ed providing it contains,proper restrictions und conditions to govern the annual expenditure in work. Deep placer claims and creek cluims would l>e Crown Granted ahout us in tho pamphlet amendments sent tome. 1 muy state thai 1 agree with these ns a whole and differ mainly in details. As thero specified, I would obtain a crown grant for deep-glacer, Creek and Dredging claims. After this was obtained I would, In. ease of deep placer and creek claims, charge nn annual tax of 420.00 while tin; claim,Is being worked, and $120 when it is not hpjug worked, with uu anuual expenditure tn work or in casho^lOO. Dhidging ClalmaVclass Ko. 1 (shiall streauisj. A.mmil tax $25.00, when, the claim U being worked and fifitf wtyeii it \s nojj, annual ex^endiluro in work or cash #125. Class SV.S'Oar^OBtrean^sj. Ai^uml tiuj when worked $5Q.Q0, when un worked, $300. At^uftl expenditure Ul work or cash $250, Wlille on the gullet of dredging I would liko to state that I consider thlsclflss df tqjitfcg will tisoome A moat important source oj revenue to the country. It w^l -ffurk ground which cannot ho worked to nn advantage iu any other wuy. A large amount o( capital Is required, and costly and extorsive machinery used. Most of the large streams of thc country such as the Thompson, Kraser, Quesnel and many others aro known to be rich in gold. These streams will be tested and dredging will undoubtedly succeed In many of them. In my opinion this will become a most important branch of placer mining in this country ami for this ruasoii it should be especially encouraged. I consider that tho Crown Grant system of holding plnccr ground would meet thu wishes of the people, and that Cnrlboo and other plucer mining countries would prosper under it. It has always Hiicceeded|in tho case of quart?, uiin- iug. It places tne quartz und pluuer miner on nn equality. It is equally advantageous to both the prospector and to the capitalist. It encourages the prospector and helps him to prospect the ground ho has found, tmd if valmiblo, to demonstrate this tu others. It is au Inducement to the capitalist to visit the country and toVivest, for it first helps to prove the ground and then give's bim a title so that he muy invest without four, lt would,- in a few years, bc thu means of developing lbo country and making it a success from a mining point of view. This, I think, is what the placer mining districts wnnt. We who know Curiboo believe it to be a good miniug country which will, we feel satisfied, produce more gold in the future than it has in the past. Wu (eel satisfied ihat in time even under the existing laws that thu the outsido world will recognize this, but we well know that with radical changes for tho good In. the Act. that this end would bv necompllshed much quicker. I trust therefor tlmt your endeavors to to bring out a good discussion will bij successful, that the great importance of tbfliubjcet will be n-t*((nued flnd that lhe required changes will be made. THE GENERAL RESULT At tho present writing the returns are not all in, but sufficient te known to show that tho Laurier Government has beon sustained by a substantial majority. Cunudti. has followed the example of Great Britain uud tbo United States, uud oonoluded to lot thiugj. remain iu statu quo. Tho Liberal sweep in the Maritime Provinces is notable, and must ho regarded as it triumph for I-'iolding, Blair uud Davios. Sir Wilfred nud Mr, Tarto gave a good account of themselves in Quebec, ln Ontario tho Ministers did not mnko anything like so gooii;u showing, nhlch ju.iltlc.-. lliu olaim, so often mado, that Lho bruins of the Liberal party nro iu Qiteboo and Lho Maritime Provinces, The defeat of Sir Charles Topper, Mr. Poster, Mr, Bergeron, Mr, Hugh Johu McDonald uud other parliamentary gladiutors leaves the Conservatives iuu had way for loaders, It "ill tuko lho party somo timo Lo rocover From ihis blow. Presumably Sir Charles Tupper will not again outer Lho politi- oul aroun. He is uow in his eightieth year, ami, if we are not miatukon, has never before been defeated. Doubtless if he desires u seat iu Lho House a uou- Btttuouoy would be opened for him, but il is hardly likely llmt he will do siro ibis.

According to ull roports il is past tbat point now.

Now, as to what wo shuuld.or can do. Everyone knows the road is almost impassible uud our road experience does not give ua any reason to believo wo can suggest uuytbing for tho immediate placing uf it iu good condition It seems tlio ouly thing thnt auu bo douo is Lo impress upon tho government aud tho members for the districts uifecteii the absolute necessity for au active policy Lo bo out'oroed'__ iu tho work done ou the Curiboo Roud next your.

Those who uro compelled to travel Lhis fall uud next spriug, woll—they will huvo to got ultng us bost thoy oan. About a yeur ugo the Journal advocated the forming of u Cariboo Board of Trade for Lhe purpose ot handling .just such questions as tbis, but it evidently was not thought muoh of by Cariboo citizens us but ouo seconded tho idea. Au association uf citizens representing overy industry and political faith could prosout such mutters to tnoso in power with greater force uud with u greater possibility of success than oau bo douo by individual citizens. It is useless to expect, the goverumont to muko the Cariboo whal it should be without agitation, aud if we i\re not sullVileutly wide awake to our interests to agituLo intelligently it not to bo expected anyone else will do it for us. Oocusional letlors from electors to their members, or tho cabinet ministers requesting work bo done Lhut will make a good road pust Lhe writers property only, will nover make tho Cariboo roud whut it should bo aud it is timo uuited action wus tukon. Editob Jouiinai. Ab there appears to exist a false impression in this district ns to lhe motives which prompted the organization of a third or Independent party, I will, if permitted the use of your columns, in your next issue endearor to make clear our position iu this oonneotion, To my mind, as a workiug mau, tbo most important question involved li this campaign Is the unrestricted, ul most unlimited importation iuto this oountry of u semi-oivili/ed, r.oti-usstmi- lating people, brought here for tbe purposo of compelling Canadian labor to submit lo cohftittons that will soon null him dowu to tholr level, and lho blind stupidity of the business mou, who do noi seem to grasp tho fact that they are as vitally interest. 1 in this question as labour, uud tbat we should mako a common cause against a common enemy 1 will endeavor to show that it is absolutely necessary that we should bo represented by it mau who haB beeuu victim Lu these conditions, nud one who realizes the importance of immediate action to prevent L'anu- dlan labor from being robbod of its hirthrlght.rnthoi- thau by a Mvfessiou- ul lawyer, who bus never hud uuy practical experience along these Hues, C, Foi..;». In accordance with our statement of somo timo ngo to publish letters on political matters whon of general In* terost we will of courso find spaeo for Mr. Foley's lettor. Up to tho present time Mr. Koley is tho ouly oue of the three candidates in this district who bus spoken in thia parlor It and Lbo indications at his meeting on Thursduy night would lead ono to believo thut hia appearance hero will considerably atren^Lhen bis posillot). Asa speaker Mr. Koloy Is forcible und convinces hit. audience that ho is familiar wilh tho principle of tho cause whioh be upholds. Ho put forth no excuse tor Lha entrance of tbo Independent Labor party iuto politics, claiming that t he wolfuro of not ouly tbe laboring men mude it necessury but tho continued success of every business mau wan possible -illy by adopting suoh legislation us his party stood for. lloLh the Conservative and Liberal parties cumo in <_tar a gooil scorching for tbelr neglect to logiBhito in the interests of tbo masses. That unalloyed happiness would follow from logislutiou as proposed by Mr. l'\)ley is not probable, for that state of affairs isu't found this side of eternity, but hia arguments i'or revised legislation in the Interests of lho mas- ses are certainly worth tie: serious consideration of overy citizen.

"But it is very bad for her," said Howard, with a parental olr. "You know yourself, Mat, sho bas no more Idea of business thau a butterfly. She ought to learn to livo within ber Income. Aud she Is becoming quite reckless about money matters and—other things." Matthew pricked up his ears. "What othor things?" "Why, It is chiefly that play writing fellow, Duval. lie has a comedy to be brought out in New York next week, nud about 20 young people here pro- ■ pose to iifllkc up a party for tha 'first night.'

"So nil you hnve to do when sho demands money for this expedition Is to say '.No.' You eau do this because she bas overdrawn her account." Two or three days after this visit of Howard's Miss Idlewild went down towu to see Matthew In his office at the bunk "on business," as she said demurely. "Give the poor cripple ■ dime?" sht snid In her absurd way. "Certainly," snid Matthew, with grave politeness, nud he took a bright new dime out of a little roll of coins fresh from the mint nnd handed It to her. So she looked a little disconcerted aud abandoned this method of attack. "Matthew, 1 am bankrupt. Insolvent) forced to make nn assignment," she said In a plaintive, spoiled child toue. "I waut some money—a lot of mouey, In fact—for a very speclnl purpose. May I have it?" "A lot?" repeated Mnttbew. "Yes, that's it; at least a hundred," Matthew looked grave. "What Is the special purpose?" ho Inquired, ferveuily hoping she would tell bim all about the proposed theater party. "That's a secret," snid Miss Idle- wild, willi an nir of mystery. "I cannot let you have any money just now, l.ve," in? said gently after a pause, ami as he spoko ho carefully avoided lier eye and stared witb rapt absorption at the carpet. "Herenfler," continued Miss Idle- wlhl, with a grand air, "I will man- age my owu money matters. Then I will kuow just how much I have and spend It as 1 please without beggiug for It.

This motto was rigidly adhered to by the author, whose love of accuracy was so grout that lie spared no pains to verify every statement he desired to make' iu nny of his novels, grudging no amount of labor which expended In tlie accomplishment of this result. He was an indefatigable collector of newspaper clippings from all nations, which he carefully classified and arranged in mauy scraphooks. Reports of many institutions, police gazettes, accounts of trials and accidents and manifold descriptions of nil sorts were filed nwny for future reference.
