A large hod/ o( rich oro bus been sir licit nnd in the course of a few days shipments it-ill begin lo the Trail Creek smeller. Machinery is being placed lo run drills by cpmpfesacd air. The same company bare boughl three groups, lit all about twenty'five dliiiniB'i nuiong thorn tlie famous Apache, Aaron and Waterloo groups, ?t Montgomery's binding, a few miles south of Rubson on tho Col iiiubia river.

Qoir.o.-i CariboD. Seattle, "W'.ibh , Aug. 5—U. B. Johnson, nn expertmtner, who gained much of bis experience iu tbe gold fields of California, is iu the city today, having just returned from the Cariboo district, where the Cariboo mining and development compaur, of Seattle lias five placer claim1?. Mr. Johnson has n one uixth interest in tiie local company. The most re- ifiirkable gold nuggets which have reached Seattle, for many a liny were brought down by Mr. Johnson, which have been recently washed from the ground owned by the company. All the gold exhibited by Johnson was in good-sized nuggets, the largest of which weighed four ounces, worth $18 an ounce, The next in size was a two-ounce nugget, while the othr-rs scaled down to ono-ounco pieces and an small an ordinary sized beans. The Value of the samples Johnson exhibited was*180. In nearly all of them could bo seen pieces of rpiariz showing that somewhere uol fnr distant from'whero tbey were discovered exists the mother ledge of extra •irdtnnry richness, The samples brought in are not nearly so largo as snme lhal have been found, ulihough more quarts-clings to ibe larger sizes. The gold was washed out of ground whioh indications prove was at some early period lho bed of Antler creek. At present Antler creek makes an extended circuit, so thai lhe new ■placer ground lies within tbe bend. The company's five claims occupy a strip two and one-half miles long, extending from Antler creek nt one extreme of the bend across lo tho other extreme. The territory is in the midst of the district which a quarter of a century ago mado the name of Cariboo famous all over tiie woild S3 a rich placer held. Sixty millions :n gold duat and nuggets at one time or another a-nec tbo lirst great rush iftva been taken out of the ground A tiros* this verv ground, which is jjow proving eo lich and turning out jsvlid gold nugjjets us buj as j>nr- iiins aril a in mi dev ing ilia t into thu ng ol wnrkiu loping preparatory hydraulic plant as Johnson says lliat ho went into tbe oomptttiy having huh' idea thai it would turn out so extremely well. He was expected to interest others but be says that before rut could bring himself to do so he decided to (alto a trip to lho district nnd make ;i personal examination. Ilo reached tliu ground and spent ono or two days prospecting it. The fust shovelful of dirt washed out _rnve him a 15 cent nugget. Subsequent washings showed equally wull ami he stopped fully sutislied. lie Immediately ordered u cessa-ion of nil prospecting and started tho men into whipsawitig lumber ami making other preparations lot' the flume. To reacii the pincers n stage couch is taken tit Aslrroft, on the Canadian Piieilic, to Barkerville over astage roud. From Baikeiville to tbe mines it is nine miles and tho gold aoiumis sinner of lhe province has previously opened a wagon road almost to the claims. A liydrauiio i-lnuf that will nol cost over $4,000 when put iu ia to 1)0 taken iu us soon as possible. Thf company will use 000 feet of iron pipe; for the first 150 feet 13 inch pi pi will be used, then a stretch of HU) feet of l'-i-ilich pipe nnd then :!00 feet of 11 inch pipe will carry the water into a monitor. A fi vouch nozzle will give them power itiough for all hydraulicking needed. The topography of the country and haracter of soil and strata aro all in favor of the work, The ground is h. The company will bo able to lizo 1,000 inches of water ami Imve a 100 foot fall for tailings at the lower cud. According to the story of Mr. Johnson the conditions could scarcely be more propitious for successful working, and posessitig thu rich ground, the all-important requi - site, the company has extraordinary prospects ahead. Prospecting has been dene in the im rock. It is a slate bedrock on a oiisidorabls slant and gives evidences of depth to bedrock of 200 to 300 feet. Sworn affidavits huvo been made to ihe effect that washings have been running as high as 81.23 per cubic yard oter various prospect holes long the cuutso. Dividends. At a meeting of the Byron N. White Co., the owners ofthe Slocan Star, in Milwaukee on tho 27tb July a dividend of ten cents a share ($100- 000) was declared due and payable ou September 1st. This is tlio third dividend paid by lliis company since August 1S05, and brings the amount distributed to share holders since that date up to 8250,000. The Slooan Star is thus the largest dividend payer in the Kootenay country and is followed by the Le Roi witli §200.000 and the War Eagle with §157,000. Several other mines such as the Ruoacau havo paid dividends and others in private hands have been bringing rich profits to then* owners, but it is not possible to get the txact figures, Tho capital of the Slocan Star is 8500,000,80 that in one year it has paid 00 per nout of its stock. This is a record to be proud of. None of the shares nru on tiio market, all of them being privately held by tllfl or- igiunl members of the company. The director.* of the Le Rol de dared a dividend of five cents a share amounting to &.'25,000 on the 'llh lnst. This brings the total paid by this company to fc'JOOjOOO. It is explained thu a larger dividend would have been paid but for tho ililliculty of convoying it to the smelter. This is now overcome by the construction of the Trail Tramway. An Interesting geological fact is that tho wild and apparently worthless region around liakersville, Western North Carolina, Is the main source of mica supply for tl.e United Stalot. Mica mining is one nf ihu greatest industries of North Carolina ami has yielded fortunes to those engaged in it. Mica is found in all sorts of blocks of various thickness and shapes and can bo split and re- split almost ad inliinitum, or until it becomes lho thin, transparent flexible waler of commerce. Tho ma- teiiil is by nature imbedded in or sea tered llirough lhe feldspar in masses large or smalt, close together ur far span, und it blasted .'rom the rocks by in nius of iivi ninitn, the piin-rveins .Sain** found between the walls of slate, Trom the mines it is taken tn tint shops wliprn it is split into thin shout-*, Iritnmed into irregular forma and made ready for the miitkel, the price varying with the color of ihc she-els. The nveisge size is aboui ' *(}, though rate beets or 12x18 inch. -■ art somelimes found, Occasionally a mine is found whero bedrock ro make ils operation profitable, but it is said that the expert mountaineer can determine ils value by tl.e indications.—Western Mining VVuitd.

These obstacles to the lull development of iho marvellously rich -cold fields of Cariboo huve been lar-relv overcome by the construction of the Canadian Pacific railway, nod the improvement of the creat highway from that railway to nortlmrn Iiritish Colunitiia, with the result that thc norlc of development has linen vigorously and extensively prosecuted. During the past two years several costly hydraulic plants have been introduced by different wealthy mining companies which are now operating well-known claims with most gratifying results, and thero is every prospect of a second golden harvest whioh in its immensity and value will completely overshadow that which mado Cariboo famous thirty years ago. Several very promising quarlz bearing locations aro also being developed in the fjillonet district, and ns machinery capable of trotting the refractory ore on the most improved methods will norm be imported, the excollent results already attained aro attracting miners and mining men in large numbers. fhe Cariboo region and northern interior of British Columbia can only be reached by railway to Ashcroft, tlienor*; by stage. Traveling by day only Quesnelle and other points aro reached in three days, Barkerville in four.
