Two of tlio party known as Captaiu Boughmnn's party, returned to Ashoroft this week, making a remarkably quick trip from Nation river. Thoy are very much dissatisfied with tho condition of things up country aud claim that Captain Boughman misrepresented everything from tho nature of the trip totho value of the claims in which thoy are interested. Tho party is broken up and all are expected hack shortly. This sort of thing does il good deal of harm to the country and should bo frowned dowu and everything possible done by those who aro interested iu the welfare ot Cariboo and Omenica to hive lhe facts aud nothing but the facts published as to tlio wealth and conditions of these districts. There is uo doubt in tho minds of tho woll informed as to tbe groat minora! wealth of northern British Columhia. and that it is a desirable country Tor the investment of capital, which if expended in teili gently und witb knowledgt, will bo roturnod tenfold. Wo havo a magnificent heritage north of us and wlion properly exploited it will surprise tiio world, Over llic Bluff. Iii tho unfortunato giving away of a sectiou of tho cribbing along the Mar- ble Canyon road about 'M milos from Lillooet, by tlio sido of Bluo Lake, Louis Dessoau, driving Mark Bagleson's six horse team with a heavy load of the Dominion Company's dredging machinery, was letdown the sido of the mountain about thirty feet into tho deep waters ofthe lake. Fortunatelyjust whero the accident took place the lake is very deep, so that tlie forco of the 30 or 10 foot fall was broken by tho deep wator aud tho teamster by lauding in deep wator escaped injury other than n ducking. Thu horses also ooming to the surface ropes wore thrown over their beads and they wero landed without serious damage so far as we have learned. Tlio wagons and machinery are at the bottom of the lake, supposed to be badly damaged. It is a vory unfortunate thing for all parties but in tliis caso can not so far as wo can seo bo attributed to tho carelessness of tlie freighter. Iu former cases of a similar kind wo understand that the Government havo refused to allow themselves to bo held lu any way responsible. Tho matter will no doubt be vory closely looked into however. Tlio accident will delay tlio operations of the Dominion Dredging Company of Lillooot some mouths. American Miners Imprisoned In Siberia. F. W. Bensloy, ox-county assessor of Milos City, Mont., and Lewis Spitobit, of Sun .fraucisco, havo just returnod from a prospecting tour aloug tho Siberian and Alaskan coasts in tlio vicinity of Bering Straits, embracing ti period of nearly fourteen months. They traveled over 300 miles of shore lino in lho vicinity of Bust Capo, Siberia, and penetrated the interior 200 milos ami woro within toil milos of a convict settlement, whoro they mot a Russian commissioner, who warned them to leave tho country uudor penalty of Imprisonment. Tho olllcor told thom tho laws strictly prohibited prospecting on Russian soil. Six men, four Bngltshmou and two Americans, who porsistod in violating the law in 1800, woro arrested and .sentenced to a term of servitude) in tlio Siberian mine:-. Beasley made diligent inquiry, but was Unable to obtain any Information as to the identity of tlio imprisoned men or the particulars of tlieir trial. Tho Russian incidentally said that thoy woro found prospecting for miueral, wero arrested aud at thoir trial were sentenced ton term ol' imprisonment in tho Siberian gold mines, Ho refused to givo llieinmmof!, assigning for n reason that suoh publicity wna strictly prohibited by tbo Russian government mnl lie advised Beasley and liis companions that wero tbey doteotod in tbo act of prospecting and on trial found guilty they would bo liable to suffer imprisonment, Thoytook tho hint and roturnod to Amorloau boII, Tho commissioner, in explaining lho miuinor of working the Siberian mines, suid that shafts sixty or sovouty foet Woro BUUk to bedrock irful tiio pity stroakwas followed liy drifting.

Mr. Merritt is ouo of tlio most prominent mining engineers iu Cauada, nntl it is gratifying to uoto that Ins letters aro being extensively copied abroad. Uo has just returned from bis fourth visit to Cariboo, and is highly impressed with tho universal capabilities of that vast gold producing region. But Mr. Men-it is outspoken iu his opinion that a railway should run from somo point on the C.P.R. through the metalliferous bolt to Cariboo aud eventually far beyond, giving the northern interior a backbone similar to that the C.P.K. gives southern British Columbia.

Tho street-ear sorvlco was practically at a standstill. Many of tho stroots wore Hooded to the depth of two or threo feet. At Thirteenth ami Morris streets, tbo wa tor was four feet deep. lil.l'ORT l-non ULENOWA, As has been learned by letters re. oolvod at this olllco, many partios arrived safely al, Glenora from July 10th to 15th. Considering that the season was several weeks lato aud that tbo rainy were excessive, it is fair to claim that the Ashcroft route to tho northern gold Holds is a success. Many men will yet this fall and in tbo earlyspring visit, :is thoy safely can, the gold fields of northern British Columbia. They can go in with thoir owu horses and outfits with a certain knowledge tbat, should thoy so wish at any timo, they can continue on to any point of tlio Yukou country. So far as tho condition of tlie trail is concerned, tho following letter, from a special correspondent to tho Toronto Globo, removes all doubts which havo heretofore existed: Tolograph Creok, ,)uno it. Acting undor instructions received from tho British Columbia govornmont in April lasl, tho road suporiutondont of Carl- boo district sent out Jamos Deacon ami party to cut out a trail from Hn/loton to Telegraph Crook, on the Ashoroft route to tho Kloudiko. Mr. Deacon, who loft Hazleton on May Tth, arrived at Tolegraph Crook on tho evening of July 8th, haviug ae- lOinplishod tho work of cutting out over 350 miles of trail in two mouths. Mr. Deacon was tho first arrival on this new overland routo, and his sunburnt appearance and bvior-tora clothing testify to tho roughness of tho journey. In view of tbe facts that from :i00 to oOO men, with about 1,000 uuimals pack mules and beef cattle - aro reportod as following over the route, his report of the condition of the trail will be of interest. The entire distance from Ashcroft to Telegraph Creok is about OiiO miles. The distance betweon Quosnelle and Telegraph Creek has usually been reckoned at DOO miles, but Mr. Deacon believes TOO miles more nearly correct, and uddiug to this tho 220 miles from Ashcroft to Qucsuello makes a total of 120, or perhaps iu round figures 950 miles. From Ashcroft to Quesnelle is a good wagou road called the Cariboo road. At Quesnello the traveler lories ovor the Praser river and then lakes tho trail - a fairly good ono—to Ua/.loton, a distance of about oWO miles. Mr, Deacon left Quesnello on the Mth of April witb a pnrty of seven men, Thoy mado the trip to Hazleton in 17 days, largely ou suowsboes. Hazleton is situated at tho fork of tho Skeena and Buckley rivers. Tho trail between Hazleton aud Telegraph ('rook is not entirely unknown. It was originally part of tho old tolegraph route from tho Fraser river to Telegraph creok. It was blazed a second time by tho government during tho Dease lake district gold oxcitomoBt of 1871 to bring in pack animals. But luring tho past sixteen or twenty years it has been practically unused, aud has become overgrown and obliterated. From Quesnelle to Hazleton thoro aro rancberies all along the routo, but beyond this point the en- tiro 350 miles is solitary and unbroken ground. Tho trail leaving Hazleton follows the Skeena rivor for about 100 miles of comparative prairio land, thon comes a formidable mountain climb of throe miles aud au after-descent, when tho Skoeua river is again sighted and followed until it diminishes to n very small creek. At this point the headwaters of tho Naase river aro reached. Tho trail follows one of tho branches of tho Naase, crosses a rungo of mountains, known generally as Lo Pau range, aud afterwards sights tho Skeena rivor again, whioh it follows until reaching the serious point of tho journey- a bald slato of rook mountain between 5,000 and 0,000 feet in height. This mouutaiu—ouo of tho Le Pau range- is never free from snow, aud on Junc2-ith, tho dato of Mr. Deacon's crossing, his party passed their horses through six or seven feet of snow. At some planes the suow reached ton feet doop iu drifts, After crossing tho summit and descending, tho trail is over prairio laud again and comparatively easy. When within sixty miles of Tolegraph creek Mr. Deacon, uot being certain of tbe trail, left his party at work and hurried on iu advance, coming out at Tabltan river, some twolvo miles above Telegraph Creok settlement. Mr. Deacon considers the trail a very rough ono in its prosent condition, but assorts that it oould bo mado a first class trail. Tho chief timbor lies botwoon Hazelton and Lo Pau mountain. The last sixty miles Is also good timbor, pine, spruce and balsam, clear of underbrush. His party crossed somo eight or ten crooks forded by tbeir horses. Threo streams all within 70 miles of Hazoltou had to bo crossed iu canoes. Thoro aro oue or two chains of small lakes on tho route which it is nocossary to go around, but tliis does not iutorrero seriously with the straigbtnoss of tho trail. There is plenty of foddor for au imals, Tbis country, boing largoly prairio land, is dry. Thoro aro prncti cally no swamps until ontoriug upon thc hist 20 miles of this 700 milo trail. OF tho largo number of horses started upon tho trail at Ashcroft threo mouths ago, Mr. Deacon expects that tho flrst sixty will arrive in a week from tho prosent date. They wore in company with his party. All roports made to hlm along tho trail Indicate that ovor 1,000 animals are on the wny, One large paok train (tarrying several tons of supplies, in charge of Robert Bor laud, is en route. A11 these horses aud supplies are for Teslin lako and Dease lako routes-some for tlio packing trade, but a largo proportion bearing miners' personal elf'oels, who are goiug through, Mr. Deacon stales Lhal ninny of lho men who have taken this ovorland routo will arrive here disappointed with tho trail. Thoy sot out undor tlio misinformation that the wagou road to Quesnollo continued all tho way to Telegraph ereek, whereas 350 miles of almost unbroken trail lay ahead ol' thom. Many of tho animals- and 1 havo gono considerably below the number estimated instating that 1,000 tiro reported coming overland wore brought up to Ashoroft from Oregon, Sau Frimoisoo and other western Aiuerienu town;; ami ranches. Mr. Deacon states that the oountry betweon Hazelton and Telegraph creel; has novor boon prospected, ami llmt, since it lies within tlio gold belt, and tho rock is of right formation, ho believes it will certainly yield a profitable striko lo tho first persevering prospectors, Let Um Disease Spread.

E.Trlplor, of Now York, declares to bo truo is so, there is a new form of energy in the mining aud industrial world moro potent thau steam, electricity or compressed air, observes the Miuing and Scientific Press. Recently there was published au account of Prof. Tripler's exhibition of his process for producing liquid air. Ho now claims in published articles, with some semblance of fact, that liquid air is cheaply made aud easily handled, aud capable of being economically utilized in a variety of ways. Ho cites tho Tact that heat is an equivalent of force and that hitherto wo have beeu ablo to utilize only the heat which-viscs considerably above tho ordinary temperature of things, Tlio heat of coal, for instance, becomes effective iu the steam engine only when tho boiling point of water is reached; all that lies between this and the absolute zero -supposed to bo about 100 degrees helow zero, Faron- heit--is wholly wasted. This 00 por cent, of tho potential energy of the coal consumed, representing 072 degrees of temperature is thrown away. But liquid air that boils and develops enormous pressure at a loin peraturo 312 degrees bolow zero, enables us to utilize some of tlio waste. Confined iu a properly constructed boiror it acts precisely like steam, though with even greater energy, the difference being that no llro is needed to boil it. Its condition at 32 degrees Farouheit is liko water at say 1,500 degrees. One would not nood flro to boil water if tho whole earth wero red hot, as it is relatively to liquid air. It is entirely possiblo, in Mr. Tripler's opinion, for a warship, furnished with his apparatus, and equipped with suitable engines, to be driven indefinitely at tlio highest rate o[ speed which her construction enables her to endure, propelled by tho heat of the waters that buoy her up exerted upon liquified air, making it as Hooded from tho wind blowing over tho decks by the uso of apparatus which has waved satisfactorily in his laboratory experiments. This liquid air whioh boils and evaporates at 312 degrees below zero, Farouheit 524 degrees below the temperature of boiling water at sea level - roprosouls lu each cubic foot SOU cubic feet of ordinary atmospheric air, and it is claimed as it returns to its gaseous state, affords in such expansion energy capablo of being economically directed iu many of tho arts of peace and war. A snbstauco that would at once perform tho function of blasting powder iu a mine and at thu same limo purify tho air and hoist tho rock to the surface, would bo of manifest value to Hie minor, though Mr. Tripler's conclusions sooui chimerical, ot, olllco.

Tho throb of life and rush is folt all tlio way up to Barfc- orvillo. I got to Ashcroft, via the C.P.I-., in good tlmo, and loft next morning at-1 o'clock. Wo traveled 70 miles and put up for tho uight. Next morning we were up and oil at 3 o'olook, and traveled S3 miles before resting. Tho next day WO made 77 miles and took a sleep. Tho next day brought tho faithful old coach to Barkerville after a run of 39 miles. This gives a total distance ot 2S0 mites from Ashcroft to Barkerville, mostly called William's creok by the old timers. 1 rode in from Quesnelle cn tho Lome coach, a special drawn by four horses driven by Mr. Bell, a most estimable young man, sou of the Indian agent. The Lome coach is one of the best I over saw or rode iu, and is at this moment the special uf four English gentlemen who are out inspecting mines with a view to purchase. Thoy are mou who mean business and understand what they are about. They uro only a few of tho mauy who are most earnestly exploring tho Cariboo lislriet. In fact I seo very clearly that this whole region around -Stanley. Quosnollo and Barkerville is looming .ip woll and will, inside of a few years, bo the foremost gold centre of British Columbia. This was tho ca§e in the fifties and sixties. Then to continue on llio necessarily larger scale, cost too much owing to high living, wages aud freight rales: autl to handle properties as was necessary to produce profit repaired larger capital, such as is being furnished nt presont, There are now about a scoro of hydraulic plants actually in operation and many more arc coming in.

For every man trained iu tho art of discriminating among tiio outoroppings ou the mountain side, and ablo to toll by tho appearance of a range whether gold ought to bo thoro or uot, thero are probably a hundred who are totally ignorant or such knowledge, and yot who go ai prospecting in hopo of stumbling open somothiug rich some ilny. By fur tho greater number 'of men who havo swarmed north to the Yukon since July, 1807, and who are now scattered over tho faco of that wide rogiou lying between the Pucilic coast and tho Klondike, know notbiug at all aboul gold mining or prospecting upon a sciontilic basis. Many of thom ara men who imve knocked about a groat deal and picked up a smattering of knowledge about formations and a dim notion about testing and assaying, bul notbiug dollulto. British Columbia has many such men in its mining regions; ouo hero and there makes u lucky strike, while the majority live uo one knows how, imt. it always seems to occur tn (hem thai ii would bo practical common sonso (•> go somewhere and take a course in a suhool of mines tmd so equip Ihcmselvos thoroughly for Iheir business. When it is romem bored thai thc practical prospector ought to have a broad, general education upon which to lay tho necessarily exact and specific knowledge of geology, metallurgy, chemistry, besides practical assaying, which arc essential to his profession, tho futility of tho unskilled man's efforts will bo recognized. As the Mining and Scientific Press recently expressed it: "Tho secret of the modern prospector and miuo manager lie hi thoir knowledge of tho dates and olfectsof porpby overflows and intrusions." Those secrets cannot bo picked up in kuookiug about mining camps: thoy must bo learned accurately and definitely through laborious study under specialists. Now, as Hn woll known fact that Iiritish Columbia is practically ouo immense mineral Held is likely to attract thousands of mon I'rom all over tbo the world eager to try tholr luck, and as many of those mon will come hero utterly igonmiit of oven thc rudiments of mining knowledge but would bo glad enough of an opportunity to learn If thoy could do so without too much expense, why should not a good school of mines be established in the province? Such an institution would afford a a grand opportunity for young British Columbians to train for a profession that, it can hardly be d»ubtod, is to bo the lea-ling ono in this province in tho coming year.1.. Tlie mining college could bo started in a modest way, care boiug taken, however, to secure first- class lecturers and demonstrators: it would uol he long hof'jro lho institution would attract so much notice, aud tin- demand tor tuition become so gn.il, that, enlargement would have to be made, ll seems Lo us the scheme is feasible, and that tbo time is ripe for putting It to tho tost.

Tlie announcement that Daniel Sanderson was tin; dlsoovororof the groat quart*/, lodgo from viiich all tho Klondike gold originally oamo is not. taken iu great seriousness by moro than a vory fow. \V, II, Armstrong should be one of the best posted men on the subject, as his Eldorado bench clnim lies uoxt to that of Sanderson's, and the two mou havo beon more or less closely iu touch since thoy both weut to Dawson ovor a year ago from duneaii, "1 know that Dan has found some rich quartz," said Mr. Armstrong, "bnt whether it is tho mother lode, or a vein at all, is another question whicli I could not answer. Thoro has been a heap of gold found with quartz in it, but up to date no quartz has been found with gold in it, so far as I know. Maybe Dan has found it. But whether ho has or not, ho has got rich stuff; all ho needs, with his fraction at the mouth of French gulch antl his benches higher up." "Arizona Charley" Mondows boliovcs thai, Sanderson has found a vory rich vein of gold bearing quartz, Whothor if is tho so-called mother lodo or not lio does not protend to say. "I have seen the quartz," said ho to a Times man. "The largest pieco is about threo inches thick and about lour or live inches square Tho exports say that tho size and shape of the pieces that have been taken out show tlie vein or whatever it is to bo very uairow, probably ranging thickness from a hair inch to threo inches." "Why do you think it is the mother lode?" Mr. Meadows was asked. "1 say 1 don't even guess whothor it is or not, but I can show you bow it might very well be," and Mr. Meadows proceeded to draw a diagram showing the Klondike, Bonanza, Eldorado, Big and Littlo Skookum and French gulches coming off Eldorado, Tbo dome was marked oil' iu the distance. Then a straight Hue was drawn from tho dome westward cutting across Eldorado ul Hi and across French gulch at just tho point in lho hills whero Sandersou is said to have made his quartz discovery. "Here at 1(1 on I'jldorada," said he, '■.loo Barrett found quartz in tho bottom of the creek, and it looked very much like what Sanderson round. Ho would not lot auyono go down into tho hole, but there is no doubt hy got the quartz thore. Now a vein running through there and along whoro Smi- dersou made his Hnd, and running all the way back to tho dome, would ue- nuiit for tho Eldorado gold, that on he high benches that have proved so rich, and that across the rango iu tho north tributaries of the Indian river, Daniel Sandersou, who thinks bo has found tlie mother lodo of tho Klondike, is an Englishman who went from Juneau to tho interior about fifteen months ago whon the first news roiiohod tbo Alaska town of tbo Klondike Hud. He managed to got a frao- tion of a claim, about 300 feet, at the junction of Freucb gulch and Eldorado. It was ono of the richest of tbe Eldorado claims. He and bis partner, Martin Wolstart, also bought three bench claims on Frenoh gulch last winter for S1,000. During the past working season tbey havo taken out over SrttXt,(Kt0 from theso benches and have refused !?T:--\000 for tbo property. They will uot talk about selling. It was in May last thut Sandersou look his [lick ouo day, as many of tlio Klondikers do occasionally, to go out ■rubber-necking" for quartz. He turned ovor an old moss-covered boulder and thero lay the quartz, almost half gold. The one piece contained over $1,01)0 and thoro seemed to bo a vein of it. Ho told nobody excepting his partner and showed the specimens to only u chosen few, He is out now to send in tramway material and some machinery to explore the proporty.

Noblosville, Iul., July 29.—Miss Leila Cook of Oswega, Kiiu., arrived yesterday to visit hor unolo, Commissioner-elect Levi Cook. When seen by a correspondent tho handsome young lady reluctantly admitted her engagement to Lieut. Hobsou, the boro of the Merrlmac, aud said tbe wedding would tako placo whenever the lieutenant can arrange his affairs for tho happy occasion, probably late this fall. Miss Cook is unusually pretty. Sho has a dark complexion, eyes and hair of the snme color, and is of medium height. Her disposition is especially attractive. Tbe story leading up to the engagement of Lieut. Hobson aud Miss Cook is somewhat romantic, boing a case of lovo at first sight. About eighteen months ago a brother of Miss Cook was married at Norfolk, Va. Ho was a lieutenant on Sampson's flagship, tho New York, aud was an intimate friend of Hobson. Tho latter acted as best man at tho wedding and Miss Cook as bridesmaid. After having corresponded a year the engagement followed. VEITH & BORLAND Proprietors and Stock Raisers. CHARLES HACH, (Sac. re, Upholstery, Mattresses, .

The details of tbe acoident aro as follows: Oliver and his mate, Harris, had set olf a blast, and being in a hurry to finish up their work on tho shift, returned too soon to find tbe result of tho shot. Finding tbe gas from tbe discharge too strong tbey attempted to retraco their steps, but both foil in tho tunnol overcome by the fumes, When ho fell, Oliver's caudle did not go out, but fell on his body, sotting fire to his clothing.

Tho result amazed tho mon; thc rock was heavy with leaf gold, and so rotten that tbey pounded out about 80,000 in freo gold. Thu rock blown out by thc shot wus sorted and It filled six sacks. Thoso sticks wero cached near thc claim, and taking a box full of tho richest ore, studded aud glittering with gold, the two men returned to Kc tell ok an. This rock was exhibited on the wharf whenever a steamer came, in, but no sale oftho claim was made, because, itis said, Homblet and Cramer wanted a fabulous price for it and could uot agree between themselves as to the division of thc money. Several weeks later they returned to thc claim and found that the six sacks of rock had been stoleu. "Tho ilrst really authentic news of the recovery comes from as far away as Sitka, Homblot is a fairly well educated Imlf-hreed, and has been paying his attention to Mrs. Paul, a widow, who is a matron in tho Presbyterian mission at Sitka, and ho wrote her tho full particulars of tho discovery, stating that he wanted to sell but was hav- iug troublo iu doiug so.

We understand that Mr. Gamble will bo in Ashoroft shortly to oonsult the trustees and oudoavor to make some ur- raugombut by which Iho accomodation necessary in Lbe school oan ho obtained and the expense kept within the iimouni, appropriated. We trust that something eau be done and that Boon, as Lhe present, school bouse is entirely inadequate. Tuesday and Wednesduy of this week witnessed quite a mild oxclte- mont ovor somo alloged new strike on Scotty creek, a tributary of the Bonaparte about LwenLy miles frcm Asb- oroft. It is staled that over live miles of tbe bed of Lbe ereek has boou staked and recorded as placor claims. The boys are somewhat OXCltod over it. Two well known young men started at midnight on Tuesday for the orook, and were observed by auothor couple of would-be mine owners, who, after considerable rushing, obtained a fast horse and started in pursuit. An exciting raco ensued, but as Lo tbe winners, report saith not. The following evening a whole wagon load started for Lhe scone ol the new strike. Wo anticipate the return shortly of some sadder and wiser men. Reports from Lightuing creek aro very favorable and Major Mooro and Mr. V. Ramos scorn well satisfied so far. They seem to bo doing good work. When Lightning Creek again becomes a large producer of the yellow metal another step in Cariboo's onward march will be accomplished. it will bo gratifying to the public to kuow that the foundry department of the B. C. Ironworks started running again this morning. Messrs. Pollock and Dickiusou having made arrangements to lease tho foundry and will thus be able to execute all orders for brass uud iron castings.—News-Advertiser. Messrs.

Active preparation is beiug made for the fall show, by,the executive otHcers of the Agricultural Society. Let everyone put thoir shoulders to the wheel and make it a success this year. If all will take a real interest in the exhibition there is no reason why it should not bo successful. Our farmers aud ranchers can show as Uno samples of fruit, vegetables aud grain as any ou Lho continent, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Clements aro expected back from their vacation on Sunday, when "Archie" will resume the duties of station agent, after enjoying a well earned holiday. Mr. A. H. Lewis, wbo has ably tilled the position during Mr. Clements' absence will leave with Mrs. Lewis for the coast early uoxt wook. Mr. aud Mrs. Lewis have made many friends whilo horo and their departure will bo rogrotted. Tho Ashcroft Prospecting Syndicate bold a group ot claims on Tyauchton creek that have given very good assays. M. P. SLowart has lately returned from the property aud givos a very favora ble account of it. A small amount of development work will bo undertaken tbis summer. Wo shall bo glad to see tbis company, which is composed en tiroly of Ashcroft meu, do well, and trust tbis property will come up to ex. pec tati oiis. Work ou the electric light aud water, works plant Is being rapidly pushed ahead. Tho linemen started ou Wednesday stringing tho wires in town aud it Is hopctl that tho light will bo In working order very shortly. Most of the business houses, hotels, etc., aro wired and the lamps in placo and also many of the private houses, Wheu Ashcroft has a plentiful supply of water and an elllcient lighting Bervioo it will be a much ploasantor place to live in. In the courso of a year or so wo predict it will be oue of the brightest, busiest little towns in Canada. We will then have u glorious climate, healthy situation, good water und fruitful soil, What more eau we wish for. There is no denying that it is hot, but the man that asks every time ho meets you if it Is hot enough should bo given tho "cold Italian marble." Tho power houso ut tho dam is prac tically completed and the work thero will be finished In nbout teu days, only tbe electaio dynamo remaing to be in stalled. Mrs. Job. Burr and children went to Lytton Friday where they will spend a few days aud will then go camping for a few weeks before returning heme.

Such is the minimum estimate ot tbe wealth brought from the Klondike treasure land Wednesday by the steamer Man- auense the richest of tbe gold-bearing fleet to come down this season, aud the riohest by far of any gold ship to land her toil worn but envied argonauts at any point in British Columbia. The accident to W. D. Woods, C.P.R. conductor, on Monday, ocoured at Ab- botsford, a short distance past Mission Junction. It appears that there was some shunting to bo done there aud Woods was assisting. He was about to set a coupling pin when his foot caught in the grass and he fell forward. He made a grab for the bar tbat runs across the end of the ear to save himself, bnt failed to grasp it. He fell in the middle of tbe track and lay there till two cars passed over him. The tbirdmnfortuuately had a very low hanging brake-beam. This caught him and jammed him up almost to a ball and then swung his leg across the track. He says himself that he Is thankful he was not killed because if tbe twist given to his body had been in the other direction his head would have been taken «ff instead of his foot. -Standard.
