The gold helt thatstrotouos along Uio coast ranges from one end of the American continent to tho othor, has boon uncovered at u particularly rich place near the junction of Canadian territory with that of Alaska. Bo far about 200 very rich locations huvo been proved on Bonanzui and Eldorado creeks. The course of the uld gold seekers sinking it rioh in California in 1810, in Cariboo In 1809, in Casslar in 1811(1 mid In Alaska in 1879, has been varied by making it rich strike in '07 instead of Watting until '99, howevor it may bo reserved for somo lucky fellows to hit it rich in upper Cariboo, Poatio river country or oomn section in a lino with the rich do- ] posits of Williams und Lightning crooks with the Klondike. Thero in gotd bearing country botwoou tho two points of about 1,000 miles that, hus boon prospected only in u very hurried and superficial way.uml yot largoBUtuS of gold lias boon takou out. Thoro is not ii strwun in Mint whole country of any size or length but thai boars gold in greater or loss in .piantilios, Tho rioh crooks so recently disoovorod in tho soution onllod lho Klondike, viz.

S12.000.000 so that tho record of the Klondike does not as yet hold over the old Carl- boo discoveries. The Into strikes will do much to stimulate gold mining in all sections of the northwest we look for largo parties nf prospectors to drift both ways noxc year from the Cariboo country north and from the Klondike south. All cannot be accommodated with mining ground in the now eldbr- ado and thousands and tens of thousands will pour into thut section next season, many will naturally drift each way looking for new diggings. Where is there a moro favorable section for prospecting than the great gold belt stretching along near the Fraser, Purs- nip und Peace rivers on through tbo Cassiar mountain ranges and through to the Teslin lako country. A small part of tho gold buried along the route traced out would pay off lho debts of the world. There is as sure to bo good mining ground fouud along this route as the suu is to rise nnd sot- It is only a question of properly equipped and competent parties, who aro not afraid to work. Klondyke is now tho cry. Within two seasons stories of great wealth being found iu the section numed above, Cariboo to Teslin laket will abound. 50 cents per yard, at an expense of $20 or $.'10, yon havo a handsome profit. Cut tho average down to 25 cents and still a dredger built at uu expense of, say 820.000, will yield tho handsome I'ovouue of about $3,00Q per mouth for eight or nine months iu tlio year. .So long as dredging has been found to pay in othor countries, as iu Now Zealand, California. Montana, oto., its will be found to pay In tho rich streams of tlio north. It is only tho method of work to bo brought, down to suit iho joudltions of tho stroams to bo operated in. The timo is uot far distant whon millions of dollars will betakoii onL every year of the crock lud rivor bods of Cariboo and the upp-'t* country.

The 1 ,on slump in: ill that 1 uis hoo u in ooun ;o of oou- THE MINING JOURNAL, $2A YEAR River Drcdgl-iit on the Qucsnelle ami Fraser. More than 8*100,000 has been expended in building dredgers for operation on the streams of Cariboo within the past three years and slill none ure operating successfully or eau bc considered us satisfactory. Still,nil things considered, the outlook for scoring u -success iu this great branch of mining much brighter thau it has boon heretofore. It uow seems to be the concensus of opinion among dredging mon, witli a fow exceptions, thnt a properly equipped boat with a dipper or bucket attachment to ruiso gravel and dump it iu a sluice box and pumps of u capacity to raise water to wasli tho same, is the right system. Some good meu still adhere to the suction method and it must bo admitted that if they could score a success tho method would be much more satisfactory, ull things considered. There are now on tho Fraser, built or being built, idle or workiug, aud ouly ouo or two ure working, uot less than eight, vi-/.., oue at Boston Bur, two ut Lytton, ono ut Lillooet, one at Big Bar, (just beiug built) and three ut Quesnello ulso one in actual operation on Quesnelle river, which bus boeu hanged from u suction to u dipper dredge, und is now reported to bo workiug successfully. Much money lias boou invested in this line but tho results, if a suobess is made in dredging the river bottoms will soon put tbo owners oven and much more. Wo are in receipt of a letter from Mr. C. 10. Kollius, of Chicago, and a copy of the Dillon Tribune, which gives uu Interesting description of dredging as curried ou in Montana, Thomaehin- ry of the dredges uow working successfully on Grasshopper creek, Montana, was built in south Milwaukee uud iu 90 days from the time it started from Milwaukee thoy had a wash-up of 8*2,500, whieh is certainly quick work. All their dredges have boen hard to get in successful operation, and many chauSes required but three largo ma chines seem now to lie operating sue cossfully. They are able lis u rulo lo run full time und when so running take out about 81,1)011 per duy. Mr Kollius has puid u good deal of alien tion to tliis class of mining and is con viuced that u dipper, or u modification of it, an elevator, is t|m \,\\\\\ of u ma ofilub that will bo finally found loop orato successfully in the rivers uud streams of Cariboo. As abovo stated nearly all mining mon are coming round to that way of thinking, j^id why npt, it you tiau hoist and wush 500 yards of gravol in a day that will pay s| ruction during tbo past throe months ut tho Horso Ply Hydraulic mine, wus completed on Saturday morning, duly lOlh. Everything boing iu readiness at 10 o'clock on that day, Mrs, Hobson, wife of tho manager, turned on tho water that started the machinery and lot drop tho stumps of thc first cemented gravel mill ever built in Canada. The mill has 10 stamps of B50 pounds each, and is expeoted to crush 120 tons of cemented gravel each 21 hours. It is equipped in a first class manner; will be run by water power duriugsum- inoinud by steam during winter months As the cemented gravol in this mine is known to be rich, good results are certain to be obtained from this method of working it. Work hus beeu temporarily suspended ut the Miocene Gruvoi Mine, awaiting the arrival of some now machinery recently purchased at the coast by Sou- ntor Campbell, the superintendent. A sad-accident occurred atHnrper's. on the Horso Fly camp, ou Monday. 12th iust., En which Dun McCallum, an old timo prospeotor and miner lost his life. McCallum aud another man were bringing a raft of logs dowu the Horso Fly river for R. T. Ward's claim und had got almost to tho end of their jour ney whon a log broke loose from the raft. McCallum jumped on the log to bring it back to the raft, but slipped and fell into the river. Ho camo to the surfaco oneo but sunk again beforo help could reach him. His dead body wus recovered shortly afterword. He was buried at Horse Fly on Wednesday lust. The floutl. Wears in receipt of news today that is absolute, to tho effect thut Mr. Ad- dicks, on tho 15th of this month, instructed bis agent to mako an offer to the owners of tho Muud hydraulic mine to pay85,000 cush uud renew his option until Juu. 1st 1898, whou the balance 890,000 will fall due. AU meeting held ut the company's olllco iu Vancouver the fore part of tho week tho offer was accepted by tho owners and the socio tary of the company instructed to so notify tho agent of Mr. Addicks. Under those circumstance! thore seems but little question of the payments being met next "January and of the mino being ut once opened up. It will be u great help to Quesnelle Forks and the entire Cariboo country to have this work go ahead. Thc mine has boon thoroughly prospected und there seems uo reason to doubt the ability of the property to return good dividends to those who about opening it up iu a businesslike way and have the means lo do so. The proporty is situated about four miles below Quesnelle Forks on the right hand bank of tho muin Quesnelle, going dowu stream. It is owned by a dozen or more persons and lias for many years boeu regarded as a good proporty. Tho deal is made by Mr. J. M. Buxton, of Vancouver, und is with tho sumo parties who visited Cariboo lust season to inspect the property. uarkuhvii.u:. Messrs. A. Gotto, C. Mootomet and P. Endor, who ure miuing men of distinction nud arrived direct from Paris threo weoks since, returned last night to Ashcroft from Bar korville. To a Journal representative one of the party said, "thut a force of ten mon aro at work on quartz proper ties near Barkerville, under bond to the French syndicate. Tho outlook is not so favorable as wo could wish, but is so far encouraging. Tho first payments have been mado on some properties and no further payments will have to be made until next April. By that time and likely long before we shall kuow just what tho properties are Wo shall give lliem a thorough tost and wo do not hesitate to say that there are (|liart/. niities ip Cariboo, but believe tho future or that country will bo from tho hydraulic and drill mines which are unquestionably rich uud ox* toiwivo." _ t f.. a Tho Goldon Cache mines are tbo most prominent on this crook and muoli has boon suit! und written about thorn.

The Golden Stripe joins the Golden Fugle ou the north. \ttho mill site a chinaman is running iv restaurant and any enterprising man who would open a hotel at this place would most likely do well as there will be quite a few meu employed at the mill and it is ngood stopping pluce for those going up and dowu tho creek.

Mrs. Smith has charge of ,-ie dining department at the mines aud gives a good meal. A telephone lino from Lillooet to tho Golden Cache mines is badly needed, as the cost of the numerous messages and business daily dono would put up a line between these places, It is now iu contemplation by the company and will probably bo built shortly. On the Goldon West claim, ou tho opposite side ofthe mountain from the Goldon Cache group work is being pushed by D. J. R. Cameron, who has a contract for driving a 100 foot tunnel uud is getting on first rate. Tho showing on this claim is good. It is owned principally by Vancouver people. Work on the Alpha Bell is going ou steadily, with W. F. Gibson as the foreman and good results are being obtained from the work dono. J, B. Mo Luren, the vice-president, and R. V.

Mining Company, the principle owners boing Mackinnon, and DoBeck, own a group of claims and it is expected that a gang of men will be put on as soon as tho mill is started ut the Cache. On the property of the Eldorado mining company, who are placer mining on Cayoosh creek, work has beeu suspended, but is expected to bc resumed shortly. . , Further up the creok a rich Strike wus mado on the Big Horn group and quite a number of claims have boon staked.

It is the intention of the purchasers to do a largo amount of work on tho property between now nud next spring, und It is confidently predicted by them that next season will soo on the Bonaparte river a lively quartz camp and that vast quantities of ore will bo smolted on the ground iu tho near future,some of tho properties hold by tho Clinton and Ashcroft syndicate of prospectors is likely to prove valuable. Work is boing continued ou tho Rivers mines adjoining, over 1,500 foot of work is now done.

I'nmi Kufl'.any luu. The Gate- Party In Scuttle. Mr. Gates was seen by a Post-Intolli- gencer reporter the othor afternoon at Seattle while he was enjoying his cigar after luncheon. He was frankly communicative about tho object of his trip: Ho said tho main purpose of our trip was to look ovor tho ground with a view to finding a suitable location for a'smelter. Wo were also desirous of looking at a mining proposition in tho Cariboo. The whole party of us went up into the Cariboo couutry, staging 350 miles. We had Lord Dufferin's couch. It was a delightful trip, but tho placer miuing proposition wo went to look at was nol at all satisfactory, and wo dropped it. Wo have not come to nny determination ubout the smelter, eit her. I think myself that Vancouver, B. C, is a good location for a smelter, and we may decide upon that place. Certainly if any placo is selootod it will bo on tho British Columbia side of the line. Tho proposed duties on load ores will make it more profitable to smelt thoir ores ovor thero than to bring thorn over to this sido of tho line. Their trip into the OriribOo country was heartily enjoyed by all the party. Tho magnificent macadamized road built by lho British Columbia author!- ties wus especially commended. "Why, I would like lo stago all the way back home if it wus all like the Cariboo road," said Mrs. Drake oul litis iastlcully; "nnd thc views wore simply wonderful." Mr. Drake had very little to Bay ubout the smelter proposition whieh hud enlisted the attention of Mr, Gates and himself, excepting that bo said the matter had not taken dollnilo form at present. Ho left a well-defined lm prossioii that a smoltor will, however bo liuilt by thost; interested wilh him lit some point on the coast, probably in British Columbia, us oue of tho ro- suits of his trip. believes thut ft will port of a very largo mn- 'rovincinl voters, whether orters of the Opposition mont, in its view that it Onioly detrimental to th© interests of tho whole Province at the present time to Introduce Dominion political issues' into iln* discussion of Provincial affairs, The Committee, iu consonance with this view, proposes tho following as tho platform on which the Opposition will appeal to the electorate: 1. The adjustment of the representation of tho Province ou a general principle, by which un equitable system wiil bo established. Districts thinly settled aud remote from the populous centres receiving a larger proportionate representation than those districts with a greater population and nearer tho largo cities, while iu turn those dis- II have a proportionately larger ilut ion thau the cities of the Province. 'J. Reorganization of the civil service witli u view to greater ofitcieflcy uud economy in administration. !).

Tho umondmont of the Land Act so that coal will be reserved uio nit with otlior minerals. Timber to be disposed of by open competition and ia such quantities as the trade demands. Agricultural lauds to be reserved! for actual settlers, 0. Repeal of the tux commonly known us the Mortgage Tax. 7. Amendment of tho law In regard lo Freo Minors'Licences, so that a man shall not bo compelled to take out i Freo Minors' Licence before he COS work in a mine for wages. 8. Provincial aid to railways iu tha past having resulted unsatisfactorily, both as regards economy in construction ami moderation in transportation on charge's, any future aid to railways to bo based on efficient Provincial control both of the raising and expenditure of tho capital and of the rates of trap, s port ut ion. While the Committee believes that an administration of Provincial affairs on the linos laid down in the foregoing platform, would conduce to the general prosperity aud assist iu the rapid de* velopmont of tlip great natural resources of the Province, it does not ignore tho fact that the most sagacious policy may fail in results by extravagance or incompetency in carrying it out and it considers that the present Government is open to the strongest coudemnation in both those respects. With united and energetic action on the part of those who aro in sympathy with the views of the Opposition, the Committee has no fear of the result. C. A.

Advertising rutcR mi nppltcntioi SATURDAY, JULY Iil, 1807. Capital WanUd. Messrs. John Francis and F- J. Brandon, who have boon investigating miniug proportion in tho Lillooet and Yale districts nro spendidg a fow days in the city ami are guests at the Hotel Vancouver. Mr. Frances' long and varied experience us a pructical mining man in Colorado aud California, where he bus owned and operated some of the bost mining properties, makes an opinion expressed by him worthy of consideration. He predicts tt great future for tbo mining industry of British Columbia, if locators and those without capital who are interested in mines will do more to help themselves by way of gaiuiug tbe confidence of capitalists. A mere prospect without development comes to naught with the experienced miner, and when the locator or promoter is without means to place his property in a marketublo condition, he must mnko udvunc.es to capital that will justify his earnestness, and not expect that capital, besides udvaucing tho money for development, will pay au extravagant sum to the locator, whose imagination, on staking a claim, throws aside tho first rules of business. Monoy is uccessary to make a mine, uud if the holder of a miners' license is without moans to thoroughly prospect his property he must seek capital to assist, and when that assistance is given, it must uot bo presumed that the chances are all to bo taken by the party who, from a surface indication is willing to devote his labor, energy and capital to help the locator as well hs himself. Mining is a business, us woll as merchandizing or ouy othor occupation, and experience has taught the practical miner that, to be successful, he must first find a property that. Trom surface indications uud surrounding appearances, will warrant him in somo degree to further his examination by sinking, or tunneling, drifting, blocking out oro bodies, and by other ways or moans satisfy him in his judgment that he has a proposition that will pay a llim fair interest on his investment. Now here is where the capitalist is handicapped by tho locator or would-be seller. He imagines that capital intends to take from him thut profit that bis air castles have built for him, aud his proposition is to realize thousands of dollars, for what? For his taking out a miners' licence, tramping through the mountains for a wook nr two, driving his location stakes uud recording his claim. This same locator or prospector would if offered 810 per day for doiug the samo work as nu employee consider himself woll paid for his services; but if, pur chance, some ono is inclined to look at his "prospect," th-i prospector demands from 1500 to 810,000 "cash down" for the privilege of ascertaining whether ho hus discovered uu ore body that is worth money, or whether ho hns deluded himself with tho idea thut all rock carries gold. For instance, crop* pings show thut thero may bo hidden away in the earth material of worth, if iu sufficient quantities; but after weeks or months of labor it is found thut the ore is valueless, or not of quality or quantity to warrant further ex pendlture, it is abandoned, uud the in tending purchaser is thc loser, whilo the locator is benefitted in so much thut ho has hud his property developed is in u better condition to show uud without any expense to himself. A case bus just come under Messrs. Fran ces und Brandon's observation, where representation was made that a free milling property wns for sale; the croji plugs showed rock that would assay in free gold. They expended somo 8000 or $700. Tho ore body improved somewhat. The original owner was worked to au excitement and now he feels that ho has sold ton cheaply. He, like many another, does not stop to think that without tho assistance of others his property would not appreciate in value. The finding of au ore chute that pays is no criterion that it is to bc continuous, for how often has it occurred I hat what hus beeu taken fiyjm ono pay chute has been expended many times over in hunting for another body of like character only to meet with disappointment. Mr, Brandon, who represents unlimited capital, has views ou the subject thut indicate his knowledge of mining.

B. Mills, who was ouo of the party with Mr. J. C. Calbroath building the trail from Tolograph Creek to Teslin lake, Is back in Victoria. This trail is lho one to which tho government gave a grant of 82,000 to assist in building. Tho parly loft Telegraph crook on May 80th and got tho trail through to thu lake on Juno 28th. The intention had boon to cross the plateau to the east aud build tho (rail by that line, as more direct, but thero too much suow was oncountorod, and so the party took tho old Hudsons Bay mipnny trail, which runs W miles, orked along It and then finished to tho lake, tho distance being somo 150 miles. The route was found on tho whole level, with clumps of scrubby woods or somo swamp lands to encounter In places, but is pronounced by Mr. Mills to lie a very good trail and a very feasible way into the Yukon. At the lake a large scow had beon built by men in Mr. Culbreath's employ, and somo supplies were shipped on it to Kloudyko before the party started on tho return, It took the party nine days to get back to Telegraph creek, though they could have made it iu a day less if they wished. Sixteen miners weut on to Klondyke on tho scow. Mr. St. Cyr, the surveyor sent out by tho Dominion government to examine the various routes luto the Yukon, was met two duys' journey from the lake ns tho Calbreath party camo buck. Ho had followed their trail iu,so he will bo in a position to report upon it, uud he will come buck by some other route. By this time there is now a good trail into the Yukon if steamers would connect ul Teslin lake. Bonding goods at Wraugel they can bo taken by steamer up the Stickoou to Glouora whore the bond can bo lifted. Then, ut Telegraph creek. 10 miles further on, goods can be taken ovor the 150 miles of trail to Teslin luko, aud from there It Is plain sailing by water to Klondyke. This route would only be somo 10 or 12 days travel from Wraugel. All along the trail tho feed for cattlo is exoelleut, which means that beef on foot could be driven iu by that route with advantage. -Colonist. be tlio western starting point; from | thenco passengers and freight will be taken on tho company's steamers to Telegraph creek, Stlkeen rivor, where the railway will begin.

The National Review, which Is edited ! by u relative of Lord Salisbury, mukes a somewhat startling announcement of what the British Government is pro- pared to do with silver. France and the United States uro said to havo urged thut somo pructical steps be Inken iu regard to the silver question, and the National Review declares that it is iu u position tosny whut Gnglund's reply will be; "Thut the government is willing to reopen thelndluu mint, to uiuke further substantial contribution towards the rehabilitation of silver by extending its use iu Englutid through increasing tbe legal tender of silver, making silver the basis of notes, empowering tbe Batik or England to use its silver reserve." Besides this, En-, gland is to give strong moral support to the object which tbe United States aud France havo in view in connection with silver. That object, which wo all know is to restore silver to tho placo it previously occupied iu tho currency of nations. Some of tho motives for the change Great Britain is suid to bo prepared to make muy bo found iu the history of the question, Iu India the closing of thu mints to the coinage of silver wus admitcdly uu experiment. The Bank of England, at least tbe governor and somo of the directors, have long desired tho government to permit it to do witb silver what it is now said will be conceded. Tho announcement of the National Review contains nothing intrin- sicully improbable, and tho known relation of thut organ to the Homo government mukes it tolerably certain thut the information it gives is correct. —Nelson Miner.

The yearly report of the British Col unibia Board of Trade, which has just been issued for 1897, has tho following encouraging remarks iu regard to the mining possibilities of Cassiar, and to the prospects of the Cassiar Central Kail roud in connection therewith. Speaking first of tho possibilities of tho district, tho roport says: "Immediately north of Cariboo is the district of Cassiar, an immense country, very little prospectod. Several of the waterways have afforded rich placer diggings. "It is hardly within the scopo of this report to do moro than mention the Yukon gold fields, which lio uorth of Cassiar in tho Northwest Territory of Canada. Tho latest excitement resulted from discoverios on tho Klondyke river and tributaries. Some of these ure reported by old miners to bo equal to California in early days in richness. It is believed that this mineral belt extends to Cassiar and that the whole of tho dividowillbo found to be rich in gold." Then as to the railroad and its proposed connections tho Board of Trado speaks as follows: "It is a matter for congratulation to find British capitalists interesting themselves iu transportation enterprise iu this province, as it affords somo assurance that the accounts of the great natural resources of British Columhia are gaining credit in established centers of finance. Tho charter of tho Cassiar Central Railway has been acquired by such persons. Although tho railway in this case will bo short, probably not more than 75 miles, un immense area will bc tributary to it. Fort Wrangle, which is open to deep .ou vessels, will, iu the meantime,! Hold Tbelr Claim Too High. Mr. C. E. Bonn, who yesterday returned from a two mouths' visit to London, England, whon asked what the feeling in London was in regard to British Columbia mining properties informed the reporter that across tbe water this distriot is comparatively unknown, uud that the only listed property is the Hall mines, whioh were there considered as very poorly managed. Mr. Benn accounted for this unpopularity on tho ground that holders of British Columbia mines are standing out for ridiculously high prices. He says there are many very 9promising propositions in this district that would receive consideration if anything like reasonable terms would be accepted, English investors ure conservative and will uot assume the entire risk of results, and Mr. Benn states that for several exceptionally good properties that he presented to London financiers he was offered good prices provided the present owners would accept half the price iu cash and half in stock companies to be formed in London—Trail Creok News, Raffling Mines In Rowland. Those who are short of money and long in mining claims in Rossland are resorting to a novel method of disposing of them. The plan is similar to tbat followed in raffling off bicycles, From 200 to 400 tickets are printed and these tiokots cost from one cent to 94, When tbo tickets are all sold the drawing takes place and the lucky man wins a mining claim. The White Elephant and the Pennsylvania and other claims are being disposed of in this way. Ottawa, 'July 14,--Applications have been received by the department the interior from persons who desire to lease stretches of the Saskatchewan rivor and dredge for gold among the sand at the bottom. The department has decided to grant the leases under stringent conditions, ono of which is that a royalty should be paid to the government. After advertising Stewart rirer, in tho Yukon couutry, as opon to tender for dredging for gold, aud receiving several offers, tho department decided thut it would not be right to hand ovor tho gold In that river except with a proviso that a royalty should be paid to the government, and no contract was awarded. The gold in the Saskatchewan being very Hue and difficult to obtain by washing, and therefore not so much sought after by gold hunters, it is considered wiso to leuso tiro mile stretches to parties who wish to dredge.

Increasing tho prioo, forcing publicity and creating inconveniences are tho most popular, aud in the lattor scheme the town of Pomona has now the record. Its new law provides for tho licensing of two saloons. Each is to pay 81,000 per yoar in advance. The saloon keeper must give bonds in the sum of 85,000 that shall bo forfeited in case he fails to observo tho law under which he is licensed. Tho saloons must be ruu in single apartments with no aunexes or wings, and in buildings fronting on the streets. Half of tbo front of the saloons must be of glass, no painted or frosted glass or screens boing allowed. The view from tho street must bo free and unobstructed, and uo billiards, cards or any game shall be played. Only ono seat, thnt for tbo bar keeper, will bo allowed, and oven oaskswlll not bo allowed for customers to lean or sit upon, There mustbo no backdoors or windows.

During that period the revenue in thc port of Nelson has incroasod from $188,000 to 8350,078, while the mineral exports have made a relative increase amounting in the ngercgnte value to 8l.811.45!>.

The Ontario labor organizer, P. J. Loughlin, has beeu authorized to act as agent for tho department of justice for tho enforcement of the alien labor law passed at tho recent session of tho Dominion parliament. Similar agents are to be appointed in Manitoba, the Territories and British Columbia, where the Act goes iu force, so as to protect Cauadiau workmen ou tho Crow's Nest road. The government have also mado arrangements with the C. P. R. to give Canadian workmen tho preference, and M. J. Haney, chief of construction, has already, it is said, declared his intention of employing only Canadian labor. Tbo minister of customs has issued au order to collect full customs dues from all parties bringing into tho country goods for working on railways. The Vancouver Tragedy A double tragedy of the most sensational nature took placo ou one of the principal streets of Vancouver lost Monday whon W. J. Immel shot and killed his sweetheart, Kitty Askew, at the corner of Ponder and Richard streets, and then shot himself. The couple had been engaged for somo time, but had frequent rows, Immel being jealous of hor. Kitty Askew was about 18 years of ago and was a tall, blondo woman, aud bad it not been for smallpox marks on her face would have beeu pretty. She had lived here for teu years, her stepfather beiug Hugh Coudou. Immel was about 28 yoars old aud a blacksmith by trade. Ho was a stondy, industrious fellow, his quick temper and jealous nature being about his only faults. The Vanarles ol Fortune, Tho history of Sir Henry Parkes, the Australian statesman who is, perhaps, bost known to tho outsido world— makes a capital toxt from which to preach a sermon on tho Hooting character of political honors, Ho began in poverty and distress: ho agitated for forty yoars; ho wns live times prime minister of Now South Wales and he died in wnnt of food. It was only a fow years ago that wo woro in tho habit of coupling the laino of Sir Henry Parkes with that of Sir John Macdonald as tho two great colonial statesmen; aud uow it appears that, in Straightforward writing is so rare an accomplishment, says the London Globe, that wo hasten to extend the hand of wolcome to it whenever it is found. Tne most recent shining specimen of literary directness whioh we have lighted upon is a letter addressed by au Australian partizan to the politician whom ho assisted to eminence, but who, on reaching his high slate, forgot the poor man on whoso shoulders he had risen. The Australian wrote as follows: " Denr Sur, Yon'ro a dam fraud, and you know It. I don't cure a rap for the billot or tho iiiuny either, but you could hov got it for me If you wasn't ns menn ns muk.

Efforts are beiug made at Nelson to save tho life of James Wood, convicted of thc murder of a blacksmith there nnd sontonced to bo hanged early in August. The defence eluiins that tbe dying statement of the murdered man should not be allowed as evidence. If the minister of justice recognizes this thero is not sufficient other evidence to convict. London, July 13.—-A large deputation, headed by former General-Agent Bootou of British Columbia, waited last week ou Sir Wilfrid Laurier while in Loudon and urged upon him the expediency of opening up a route to the Yukon district. Sir Wilfrid said that tho government was alive to the importance of assisting iu every way the mining interests in British Columbia, and promised to try aud secure an appropriation for exploration purposes, At one time the Duke of Wellington's extreme popularity was rather embarrassing. Por iustance, ou leaving home each day, he was always intercepted by an affectionate mob, who insisted on hoisting him ou thoir shoulders and asking whore they should carry him. It was not always convenient for him to say where he was going, so ho used to say: "Carry mo home* carry me home;" and so he used to be brought homo half a dozeu times a day a fow minutes after leaving his own door, __^___________, Tho steamer Alki, of the Alaska Steamship Company, which arrived from Alaska yesterday, will on her way north on her next trip change her programme and call at the outer wharf.
