Tbo Leonids, so called from tho fact that ihey socmo'l to radiate from n point In the constellation Leo, are thoivlnro duo to return in force in 1800, but tbe tho earth will doubtless meet, the advance guard tbi-i year and next, while the o:imp followers will probably appear in smaller numbers as lute as 1000.

Thoy appear every thirteen years in unusual -lumbers, the last two times boiug in 1872 and 188a, so tbat tbo period will bo oomplotod in 1808.

Application will bo mado to parliament at its next session for throe charters for three separate railway lines, all bound for tho Yukon country. The routo of ouo ns slated is from u point near Craubrook, iu East Koote- Ibe most northerly point on tbo Crow's Nest Pass Railway; tlionce run- niug in a northerly direction up tho Kootenay river to Canal Flat; thenco to Columbia lake, and in a northerly linn down the Columbia river to Canoe river: thence up Canoe rivor and across a portnga to tbo headwaters of tho Praser river: thenco down tho Prasor tn Glsoomb portage; thouce cross tho porttlgo to Parsnip river; lience down to Parsnip river to Fiddly river und up Findlny rivor and across tlio divide to Francis lako, and thenco to the Yukou; with powor to divert tho routo of tho line north of Giscomb portage and by way of Dease lake, or as may bo found most suitable. The other two lines will go from the coast, starting at Lynn canal. The first is called tho Pacific & Lewis Rail and Wnlerwa;;, to bo from a poiut near the boundary lino nn Lynn canal, by way of Lake Arkell, Hootohi village and Nordonskold river, to a point ou Lewis rivor below the Five Finger rapids, and thence to Fort Selkirk. with power In vary the above route should further surveys of the company prove it to bo advisable. Tho other application will be for an act to incorporate a railway company for tbo purpose of conveying passengers, freight and ores from some poiut near tlie bead of Lynn canal, thenco in a northeasterly direct inn through White pass: thence by way of Luko Bernard to 11 point on the southeasterly end of Like Bennett; thence following tho said lake to a point nn the northern boundary of British Columbia, and also frnni snme point near the northerly end nf Lako Marsh by way uf McClin took river and trail to Hootallnqoa Ivor. In addition to these three is the Stickine river road, extending from Glenora. 011 the Stickine. to Lake T6s lin, which, it is stated, will be built by tho Canadian Pacific oompany, and whicli lias already beeu surveyed by the company's engineer.

Hero they did half a day's prospecting, and came bind., striking into Bonanza aboul ten miles beyond, where Ihey took nut from a little nnnk n pan which encouraged lliem to try further, In a few moments moro they bad Inken out 812.75. A discovery claim was located, and also one above uud ono below for the two Indians, In August, 1806, the lender,generally known as Siwash Gcorgo, becauso bo lived witb tlio Indians, went down to Forty Milo to get provisions. He met soveral miners on bis wny and told them of his lind, showing the 812.75 which he bad put iu an old Winchester cartridge. They would not believe him, his reputation fnr truth being belnw par. The miners said be was lhe greatest linr Ihis side of a gronl many places. Thoy came to tue finally uud nsked me my opinion, and I poinl ed out to them that there was no question about bis having tho812.7fi in gold; the only question was, then-fore, whero ho had got it. He had not been up Miller or Glacier creok, nor Forly Milo, Then followed tho excitement. Boatload after boatload of men went up at once. Men who had been drunk for weeks and weeks, iu fact, were tumble the boats nnd taken up without being conscious that they wero trav Ono man who wont up was so drunk that he did not wake up to realizat that he was being taken by boat until n third of the journey Imd been accomplished, and ho owns ouo of tho very best claims on the Klondike today. (Laughter.) The whole creek, it distance nf about twenty miles, giving in tho neighborhood nf two hundred claims, was slaked in a few week: Eldorado orook, seven and a half or eight miles long, providing eighty claims, was staked iu about the same lengbt of tlmo. Boulder, Adams and other gulches wore prospected, and gave good surface showings, gold being found in the gravel iu lhe creeks. (Jood surface prospects may be tukon as an indication or tlie existence of very fair bedrock. If was in December tbat the character nf the diggings was established. Twenty one above discovery on Bonanza was the one which first proved the value of the district. Tbo owner of this claim was iu tbo habit of cleaning up a oouplo of tubfuls ovory night and paying his workmen at the rate of 81.50 an hour. Claim No, 5, IDldorado, was tbo next notable ono, and horo tbo pan of 8112 was taken out. Tbat was great. Tliero was then a pan of oven greater amount on No, (i, and tbey continued tu run up every day, and you who are down here know bettor of tho excitement there was than 1, who was iu and didn't see. Tbo news went down to Circle City, which emptied itself at once aud came up to Dawson. Tho minors camo up any way they could, at all hours of tlie day nnd night, with provisions and without supplies. On their arrival they fouud the creeks had been staked months beforo. A good many Canadians who wero in their talk out aud out Americans, (same up to Canadian territory with a certain expectation of realizing somothiug out of this rich ground by reason of their nationality. One of them particularly, on finding thut he was too late, cursed bis luck aud said that it was awfully strange that a man could not get a footing in bis own country. Another of these meu who arrived too lato was an Irishman, aud when ho fouud ho could not get a claim ho wont up and down the creek trying to bully tho owners into ild I hud hoi This live bee ii made ba pull at g tn have the .OU lo 250 feet. and oll'erod to iro August 1st to 250 foot, One hud mado this 110 aboul it.

Tho Mixing Journal is in receipt of many letters and telegrams of Inquiry regarding tho ovorlund route to Teslin Lake from Ashcroft. This artlolo is published so that a copy of tho Minino Journal sent in reply will answer the mnjority of the inquiries. Thoso wishing detailed information Irom week to week am lind it hy reading tho paper regularly. 1st. Ashoroft is on the railroad line 202 miles enst of Vancouver, tho terminus of the Canaclhin Piioldo Railway, ■ind. Prom Ashcroft tn Quesnollo, 220 miles, thoro is a (h'st-class wagon road, open the yoar round, and tit Questu'lle Lliero is n ferry on which the Fraser river can lie crossed. An ovorlund (tail lends from there to Hazleton, tho distance beiug not far from 300 miles, uud a good trail. From Hazleton ,to Tolegraph Greek, on the Stiokoon river, the trail Itus not beou very much used of late years, hut is passable, and Lho govorninout has promised to huvo it put in ilrst-elass shape early in lhe spring. The distanco from Huzlotou to Tolegraph Orook is suid io ho -i!" mill's by the old Dense Lako trail, and somewhat shortor hy a cut oil' trail. From Tolegrupli Croek In Toslln Lake it ia 13fi miles ovor n good irail. The tolaldislaiieermiii Quosuollo, where tho ovorlund trail boglus, is therefore nboul (17f> miles. Tlieso llgurtw nro nients, hy at ouo stroke abolishing all private titles, declaring all hind public property uud lottiug it out to tho highest bidders in lots to suit, under such conditions as would sacredly guard the privnto right to improvements. Such a plau, instead of boing a wild, impracticable vagary, bus (with tho exception that he suggests com peusation to the present holders of of land—undoubted a careless concession which he, upon relloctiou, would leconsider) beeu indorsed by no loss eminent a thinker than Herbert Spencer. But such a plan, though perfectly feasible, does not seem to mo tho best. Or, rather, I propose to accomplish the same thing iu a simpler, oasier and quieter way than that of formally letting it out to the highest bidders. I do uot propose cither to purchase or to confiscate private property in land. The lirst would be unjust, the socoud needless. Let the individuals who now hold it still retain, if they want to, possession of what they are pleased to call their land; it is only necessary In confiscate tho rent." hi Yo lBth lo oil mil .,.1-il ubsolul leavo Ashe .

Wants Canadian Antimony, Professor Edward C. Brice, the alchemist, who claims he can make gold out of antimony, has beeu in Toronto. He culled on Mr. Blue, director of the Bureau of Mines, witli a view to ascertaining if he eau obtain auy antimony iu Ontario. Mr. L'rico says tlmt he has within the past four mouths manufactured and sold 61,000 worth of gold, mid lliat. having secured sufficient backing, helms erected a plant iu Chicago, with a daily capacity of 10 tons. Washouts have shut out this source of supply in the Utah mountains, aud, therefere, he is uow aftor Canadian antimony. He was Informed by Mr. Blue tliutdeposits of tin; metal exist in tho township of Barrio, in North Frontenae 1*1 nl the Professor will visit the district. Mr. Brice's theory includes the idea that gold is tho compound sub stance of which antimony is the basis. Ho says his process is so simple that a blacksmith, did he know it. could manufacture gold in his forge. Wo-iil Alcohol. There is a proposition before thc Dominion Government from the Rathbuu Lumber Company for the manufacture of wood alcohol in Canada. This is a product that is not as yot manufactured in tho United States, aud is found to be very cheap and perfectly suited for tho manufacture of methylated spirits, such as is not drinkable. The wood alcohol leaves a charcoal which is disposed of at a prollt in tho United States for smelting purposes. Up to the present there has been uo market fortho charcoal in this country, but uow It Is said that since smelting has dovolopod Into au industry in Canada, thc charcoal might very easily be disposed of.
