M, 1885. current Events and Opinions. If ever country needed peace nnd prosperity, surely that country is France. Her debt is sotrcthing appalling. When Napoleon "was overthrown in 1870 the funded debt of France wa,s 81,500,000,000. By 1873 it liad risen to §4,000,000,000 from the expenses of war and from having hud to pay the indemnity demanded by Germany. It is now §6,000,000,000, or three times that of the United States, und about twice as much as thut of Britain. Tins makes tho taxes in France very heavy, and depresses the market valuo of her three per cents greatly. If great care is not taken she will be absolutely bankrupt some of these days. Why not give up all the wasteful fooling in Tonquin, Madagascar, and elsewhere, nnd settle quietly down to her own business?—Globe. Divorces are actually unknown among the Quakers, and this absence is accounted for by the extraordinary precautions employed when two young persons desire to be united in marriage. The parties place their proposals of marriage in a written form, which is referred to tho society of which they are members, and is first acted upon at a "Preparation Meeting" thereof. Tf all tho attendant circumstances are in every respect in accordance with tiie views of those present, the proposal is approved, and is then introduced at tho "monthly meeting," whero it is again passed upon and a committee of investigation into the characters, habits, and circumstances of the engaged twain is appointed. These committees always consist of two members of each sex. Tlio committee, after a most thorough examination and investigation, makes its report, generally at the succeeding "monthly meeting." This ends the preliminary arrangements, and the twain are then at liberty to proceed in the accomplishment of their marriage, a committee of two of each sox being appointed by thc meeting to see it orderly conducted, and the marriage certificate delivered to the recorder. As a rule, the impressive ceremonies aro generally conducted at tho home of the bride, and occasionally in the "meeting houso." At tho nuptial ceremonies the certificate of iniirringo is given to the couple, which, after receiving tlieir own signatures, is in turn signed by overy person present, and frequently contains a hundred or more names. Engagement or wedding rings are rarely given.— Ilrooklyn Magazine, A college professor of chemistry, who had mndo a long study of houso ventilation, said thut the more he investigated it, tho less did he feel that he knew about it. How to sooure in our severe winter climate the warmth without vitiation and pure air without draughts is a problem that is not often solved in a practical and practicable manner, Tho use of open grates and fireplaces has done much to improve matters,' but theso tiro by no means so common as they ought to bo, and they do not, save in a few cuses, introduce fresh air as well ns take out stale air. And this is one of the greatest lacks in all the ordinary methods of house-warming. • It is hardly too much to say that no air can pass through thc common furnace, as commonly run, without suffering a deterioration that makes it unfit for "food for the lungs." Steam heat is better is some particulars, but persons who are dependent upon pure air soon feel nature's signals that something is wrong, in the burning checks nnd dullness in the brain, in a close room ovon slightly overheated from a radiator. Tho common need is tho introduction of a supply of "uncooked" and un- breathed oxygon from nature's great reservoir outdoors. A strip of board undor the lower sash, or, better yot, ono of the box ventilators, admitting n supply of air betweon the sashes and from the bottom as well, serves an excellent purpose. Tt is complained that theso "cool tho room;" but, with tho ordinary heating apparatus, there should be no difficulty in keeping the temperature at from 65 to 70 deg., and that is warm enough for persons who are not invalids, if they become habituated to it. There would be fower "colds" and much less suffering' from winter diseases if living rooms were not kept so frightfully hot. How rational peoplo can expect to stand without injury the shook of passing frequently from rooms heated to 80 deg,, or higher, into nn outdoor air at tho zero fioint, or oven 20 or 30 deg. above t, is unexplninable.—ftoston Herald. The British Columbian. VOLUME 28 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. C, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1885. NUMBER 44 The Way of Transgressors. Under the strict regimen of prison fare and diet, Ferdinand Ward has not Bhown any physical improvement since his incarceration ei Sing Sing prison a year ago. His pulse and vitality are very low; hiB spirits are naturally depressed, and his general appearance that of abject melancholy. YeBterday was his second Sunday at Sing Sing, Ab ho stood in line before going into prayers, hia reluctant hand upon the ahoulder of a burglar in front of him, his own shoulder shrinking under the pressure of the blood-stained hud resting upon it. Ward's most intimate friends would scarce have recognized in him, bearing the stripes of crime, bending under the weight of disgrace, the dashing, arogant oracle of Wall Btreet, whose name is associated with champagne lunches and dinners galore, and whose cheque wai good for 81,- 000,000 at sight. Ward's identity ii completely lott in his convict'a garb. Viewed from Mie rear he looktttke a school-boy dressed up in his father's polo suit. It is not until the wan, emaciated face ib seen, with the tightly drawn akin, the spectral eyes, the pinched nose, and the colorlesa lipa, the bony hands with the long skeleton fingers, that any idoa can be formed of the man's appearance. It iB the face of misery, of disappointment, of de- Bpair.-tf. Y. World. A Great Apple Crop. Whilo the beat winter apples have boen so abundant and cheap this season in New England and parts of New York that farmera could afford to pick only so many as they needed for their own use, there has been a good market for them in England. Ten thousand barrels shipped from this city were sold in Liverpool a few days ago. The English wholesale dealers paid $3 a barrel for Greenings, $3.60 for Baldwins, and $4 for King apples, and the entire ooat of picking-, barreling, shipping and delivering in Liverpool was only $1,81.25, and 81.60, respectively, bo that the exporter made a amall fortune in profit. These facts show that there are some thinga which our Eastern farmers and dealers in fruit have yet to learn. Hundreds of thousands of bushels of tine apples havo been left tu rut in Now England orchards thia year almoBt within sight of railroad stations and only a few hours from this port because no one wanted thom, but n shrewd exporter aeut 10,- 000 barrels to England and pocketed 820,000 for his trouble. Perhaps the farmers will learn by and by that a "great apple year" is a blessing whose magnitude they have not fully measured, even if the abundance of fruit kills a greedy cow hero and there,— JV. Y. Times. __- ■***. - SintiRiAN Caravans of Convicts.— It ia nothing new in Russia to see a band of convicts in their coano gray uniform, with a largo orange-colored cross covering the back, trudge wearily along on their way to Siberia. But these miserable caravans aro formed of men only, female oonvicts boing generally conveyed by rail or steamer. Somo eighty-four of these latter left Odessa the othor day by the iteamor Coatroma for tho island of Sakalhin, on the coast uf Eastern Siberia. According to the Nome Vremya, thirty- six of the womon were transported for murder or attempted murdor of their husbands, twenty-two of the thirty-six being under the ave of twenty. Ono bride of sixteen had killed her husband within the tirst week after marriage; another uf sweet seventeen lived with him six months before she did the deed, and a third of eighteen was convicted for killing her husband during the night by blows with a heavy hammer. Which facts demonstrate that, howover beneficial early marriage may bo in other countries, in Russia at least no woman Bhould bo allowed to marry before alio ia twenty.—Pall Mall Gazette. -» A Stock Exchange Episode.—The sixty days limitation of contracts originated in ono of tho famous speculative ventures of Jacob Little soon after the panic of 1857. He had sold large blocks of Erie, seller's option, at six and twelve months. The happy family," composed of tho moat eminent members of the board, combined against lum. The day of settlement came; Erie shares had been run up to a high figure.. At 2 p. m. the brokers prophesied that the Napoleon of finance would meet his Waterloo. At 1 p. in. he stepped into the Erie office, presented a mass of convertible bonds that he hud quietly purchased in England, and demanded tho instantaneous exchange of share equivalents fur them. Tho requisition was met. Little returned tu Ina office, fulfilled his contracts, broke the eomer, and waa Wellington and Napoleon in one. Tho convertibles were his Blucher and night. To prevent the repetition of suoh victories the preaent option limit was adopted by the Exchange. — Harpers Maijasine,_ Gen. Grant and Tobacco.—Who- ther tobacco caused the cancer of Gen. Grant's tongue is a quel tion which may never be decided to the satisfaction of all, but that Gen. Grant advised others not to smoke can no longer bo disputed. Rev, S, H. Lee of Vermont says that in 1880 he met t'te Genoral in tho office of a Wall-street banker, and during their conversation inquired if it was true that he told the boys in Girard College he was glad they woro forbidden to smoke, becauae if they did not learn while young they would not be likely to do so in later years. Not only did Gen. Grant answer in the affirmative, but ho declared that "If I could have my way I would lot nobody smoke until twenty-one years of age," and added that "whatever it may do to men, it is certainly bad fur the young." Hii words ahould be often repeated by those who desire to check the use of tobacco, whioh undoubtedly has become so great an evil that it seriously injures vory many people. The obelisk in New York Central Park has been covered with parafllne to secure it against the destructibility of the climate.

Now that Louis Riol lias been decently buried, und tlie French Canadians havo ventilated their emotions by resolutions and effigies nnd things, we hope no more will be hoard about tlie mutter. It is foolish to attempt to make a martyr oi this mnn. When he had poor Thos. Scott iu his power, and butchered liim in the most brutal way, Scott Ijivaiiu* a true martyr and Riel placed himself beyond the reach of any reasonable and proper symp thy. If lie hud committed no other crimo during his whole life, this monstrous piece of villainy would justify his execution. Wo called attention the other day to one of our local cotempor- ary's singular articles on the immigration pamphlet. Our cotemporary pitched like a fishwife into tho provincial secretary bocausn of cer tain things which appeared ill the pamphlet calculated to attract people to this country. In the same article he himself presented a more glowing picture of the country's attractions than anywhere appeared in the pamphlet which lie condemned. In his last issue our cotemporary takes up nearly a column in an attempt either to excuse or apologize for his inconsistency; but in all that vast area of words there is not one solitary particle of proof or argument. The New Oold Mines. On the 90th of August an article appeared in this journal in whieh the opinion was expressed that the gold mines of Similkittneen would prove to be a valuable find. That opinion has been perfectly justified by subsquent events, and now tliere can be no reasonable doubt of tho richness and extent of these mines. On the fourth page of tins paper will be found the text of the report just presented to the government by Mr. Elwyn, deputy-provincial secretary. Tins report is official, and may be accepted as accurate. Mr. Elwyn went up to Similkamcen for the express purpose of making an examination of these mines. Having had considerable experience in practical mining and as gold commissioner, and being thoroughly disinterested, his statements are entitled to very great attention and respect, Tt will be seen by reference to the report itself that, after a careful examination, Mr. Elwyn asserts that no newspaper report that he has yet seen goes beyond the truth respecting the richness of Granite Creek, For four miles, extending from the mouth of (Irauite Creek up to near the forks, both sides of the stream have been worked more or less, and throughout this whole distance, equal to 8 miles, the aver age pay has lieen more than an ounce per day to the hand. It is quite probable that there is a considerable extent of territory still unprospected whero eventually the precious metal wil! be found in large quantities, and no one can really predict with any certainty how far the mining camp will ex tend before the ground has been worked out. Wo sincerely hope that Urauite Creek may prove to be even richer than Cariboo, and much more enduring. This province is about to enter upon a new period of development in consequence of the opening of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and the addition of a rich aud extensive mining region just now to our other great resources would lie most opportune. We are glad thot the government has shown itself alive to tho importance of these mines, and has given to the public a report on them from one so competent to speak. interview with ;i numbor of prom- ini'iil citizens, and during thai interview said that his company had really never seriously considered flu1 question of railway connection with tho sound. Moreover, lie gavi! it as his opinion that whatever traflic there might be expected from that region could be secured for the C. P. R. much more cheaply and satisfactorily by steamer than by rail. A railway, he said, could not be constructed except at considerable cost, and would only reach a limited part of the sound country; but by steamer almost every place could be conveniently reached at a very moderate outlay. There is certainly no wish on our part to hinder the development of tho city of Blaine, which lies close to the boundary line between this province and Washington Territory; but in the interest of truth, aud for the purpose of preventing further misrepresentation, we must protest ■publicly against tho utterances of Mr. VanHorne being so distorted as to justify the use of them that has been made in tho advertisement referred to. Of course the persons who hold real estate in Blaine are naturally anxious tt^got up a'boom, and we have no wish to hinder them in the employment of legitimate means for that purpose, But wheu misrepresentations are resorted to in the hope that persons who do not know the facts may be induced to invest, these people should remember that a day of serious reckoning may come. Port Moody is a town site that was persistently boomed upon misrepresented circumstances, and those who today are sufferers from having speculated there without first ascertaining the actual facts may uow be counted by hundreds. Wo hope this experience may not be repeated in the case of Blaine. Let the city be boomed if it is best, but let it be done honestly. -Booming lhe Oil) or Rlalue, ln the Blaine Journal of the 19th inst. we notice a flaring advertisement in wliich "The New Westminster Branch of the C. P. R, to bo built' to the boundary line" stands out very conspicuously in large lotters. After that wo find the following declaration: "The president of the Canadian Pacific Kailway stated in an interview with prominent citizens of Xew Westminstor that the C. P. R, syndicate Imd determined upon connection with nn American system of railway at the boundary line at Semiahmoo Bay." To our readers we need scarcely say that Mie president of the O. P. R. never said anything of the sort. The vice* prwident of the company hod an Hallway Management. Nothing definitely is known yet about the future management of this end of the Canadian Pacific Railway. It was announced lately by the Victoria papers that Mr. H. H. Abbott, C. E., and Mr. tf. Cambie, C. E.( would take the management upon the relinquishment of it by Mr. Onderdonk on the lst prox. Tins, we believe, is not exactly true. It is understood that Mr. Abbott will become superin tendent of the western division, but will not assume thc duties of that position until spring. In thc meantime it is believed that Mr. Haney will remain, as he has been, manager of the road, and will run it in the interest of the Canadian government until it has boen finally taken over by the syndicate. It is very well understood that the syndicate has refused to accept the road between Port Moody und Savona in its present state, because it has not been completed according to specifications. The government seems very anxious to take tlie road ofl' Mr. Onderdonk's hands, nud thc announcement that Mr Onderdonk will dispense with the services of all the railway and telegraph employees on the lst prox. would seem to indicate that some arrangement has been made between him and the authorities at Ottawa. It-Ms said that the syndicate engineer who made sucTi a minute examination of the road some months ago" reported that there were many parts of it whicl: did not como up to tho requirements of the specifications, and if the syndicate takes over the road in its present slinpo it will certninly be on condition that the deficiencies shall be made up by the government, or that a sufiicieiit nllowance be made to cover thom. At the present time we do not know wlmt kind of service will bo maintained, or how far it will reach. Tho latest announcement gives one train a week each way, but it is not believed that this will lust more than a vury brief period. The train arrives at Port Moody so late on Friday night, and leaves so enrly on Saturday that it will be quite impossible for the mail clerk to sort the lettees and papers bofore reaching Port Hammond without working all night. It is a pity the managers of the road did not think it worth while to let the public know something of the probabilities thnt lie bofore them, The sorvice is shunted about without warning until ono is quite unable to calculate what may come next, and serious inconvonience and loss aro the result. It would cost very little to advertise judiciously the changes about to bo made in the time-table, and such information given by authority would be most welcome to the public.

By Telegraph, Yai,k, Nov. 27.—Word has beon received here to-dny from Ottawa that it is quite possible there will bo no train service on the mainland after Monday until next spring. Mr. Tingley is in town, and, rumor has it, to make arrangements for canoeing the mails to this point and by stage coach from here east. The citizens were jubilant over a rumor started that government would operate the road, but later intelligence doomed them to disappointment. Thero was great excitement through the upper country over one train a week, but one would be a boon compared to none. Stock men complain bitterly of being compelled to hold over their stock until spring. A.

This is to be run alternately with steamer lines via Brindiai and Sue/, and is regarded as very important in the event of a blocknde or uther interruption of the Suez canal. It iB expected that through mails will no over the Canadian Pacific via Quebec and Montreal." Hum Tides.—During the past few days the tides have been unusually high, and it is reported that some of the dykes on the delta lands have been overflowed. Some farms ure under water, nnd although the damage may nut be much the inconvenience is very great. Iu the vicinity uf Ladner's Landing some of the houses were Hooded until the water stood two or three inches deep in the parlor. There is two feet of water ou the road at this side nf False Creek bridge, and thu telegraph and telephone wires un the bridge are submerged. Oue cause of these high tides is the heavy winds which have been prevailing on the gulf. *•>■ Gas,-Mr. E. Mohun, C. E.t hu boon gathering statistics about the eity relating to the probable demands for gas, and has oome to the conclusion that gas works wuuld pay from the very start. This is a matter in which all citizens should feel an interest. The superiority of gas over conl oil for illuminating purposes need not be mentioned, and if a superior article can be obtained at a cost actually less than tho inferior, surely it is worth while making an effort to secure it. To the cost of oil must be added the cost of lamp chimneys nud of cleaning and trimming lamps every day. We hope every citizen whu oan assist in the promution ol a gas company wil! manifest his willingness without delay, and let the scheme be perfected as soon as possible, Mr. Mohun has not yet oompleted hts preliminary inquiries, but the result of them will doubtless be laid before the citizens shortly. —, .«.

The programme consisted uf songs, duets, trios, choruses, piano solos and duets, recitations, tableaux, an illustrated rendition of the "Mistletoe Bough," and a dialogue by a number of school children. Altogether the programme was carried out in a way that did great credit to those whu arranged and took part in it. The three tableaux were very pretty. The last, representing a glimpse of fairyland, was especially enchanting. In it were grouped a large number of children dressed to represent fairies, scattered through evergreens, (lowers, and other charming adornments which decorated the stago. In the dialogue also a large number of little ones took part, robed iu appropriate costumes. We understand that the proceeds were about 880. Strono Coffee.—There are two brothers connected with one of our mercantile and manufacturing estnb-1 lishmenta who lodge in the same house. Ono of them iB married and has a little hopeful boy about two years of age. On Thursday night the wife put some coffee into the coffee pot and fixed it so it would be handy for tho morning. The little two-year-old observed the operation, and wondered if there might not possibly be some other ingredient added so as to give colur and pungency to the decoction. As soon as his mother had gone out of the kitchen this philosopher spied a piece of ptog tobacco lying ou a shelf, nnd some internal monitor (probably what our cotemporary calls the "calculus") whispered to him that was it just the very thing needed in the coffee pot. Acting promptly upon the suggestion, he quietly slipped thu tobacco into tho pot and shut down the lid. Next morning the coffee was soaked and boiled as usual, and two fragrant cups were poured out smoking upon the breakfast tablo. The two brothers wenrtit ix huiry, fa tbey wero wanted at the shop, and after adding cream and sugar to the inviting beverage they hastily drank it down without stopping to analyze the strange and unexpected flavor. The usual result followed, however, and these two brothers were forced to perform their customary duties yesterday forenoon upon empty stomachs. Tobacco should on no account be left lying about the kitchen. sufficient evidence against Bartlett to support tho conviction, but looking at all Hie circumstances, ns I feci bound lo do, aa itioro or loan capable of explanation by reason of Iier license uml occupation accordingly, I mu not- satis- lied as thc evidence ought to satisfy mo in n criminal cuse (see Paloy uu convictions, p. 132, noto (x) od., A, D. 1879) thnt ho carried on mid exorcised the buBine&s of vending fermented liquors us found by tho conviction.

This is an expression which I do not think tho legislature intended to upply to n person who only keeps n rust au runt, and whoso object is to supply beer or porter nt menls and not otherwise, I think tha conviction must be qunshed. It is not usual to givo costs ugainst magistrates except under special circumstances, nud I see uo reason for doing so in the present caso. McCkeioht, J.

Kditor Columbian.—When the voto for, or against, the bylaw was taken authorizing the corporation of New Westminster to borrow thirty-eight thousand five hundred dollars for the construction of a branch railway to connect this city with the Canadian Pacific railway the people were as a unit on the question; the nroporty-holdors by their voto were unanimous aa to the absolute necessity for the railway; but no sooner is the survey made than we hear growling here and growling there, from some of those through whose land the line has been laid out, To remedy this state of things I would suggest that instead of taking the lino down through the oity as proposed, the syndicate be advised not to bring it farther than Lytton square. Thero they would have plenty ot wharf room, deep water and plenty of room for warehouses and other buildings wliich may be required. It may bo argued that the square and wator frontages would not afford sufficient room for tbe purpose; thon in such ense lot as much of block seven be appropriated as may be necessary; property there would not be of so muoh value as at ttie western pnrt of the city, and it would do away with Chinatown, which everyone must admit is au intolerable nuisance.

Montreal, Nov. 22.—*The long- talked of mnss meeting nt Chump do Mara, by French Canadians, was held this nfternoon, nbout 10,000 persons being present, Thero were threo platforms, nt ench uf which the French flag floated. There were between thirty and forty speakers, who one and all protested in strong language againBt the action of tho government in hanging Kiel, and called upon all present to combine to defeat the government. Sir John Macdonald was a speoial object of invective, his action in the present instance boing regarded by thc speakers as a crime of the most culpable character, A telegram was read from Messrs. Boyd and Murphy, of the New York Irish Union, protesting against Orange fanaticism and British brutality, and wishing the French Canadians succoss in the struggle. The following resolution, among others, was passed unanimously: "That in executing Louis Riel the government has committed an act of inhumanity and cruelty unworthy of a civilized nation, nnd deserves tho condemnation of all friends of right and justice, without distinction of race or religion." Quebec, Nov. 22.—A nieetiug called to express indignation at tho execution of Kiel, held at Levis to-day, drew au immense crowd. Effigies were burned, and tings inscribed "Glory to tho Horo and Martyr Riol," "Death to Sir John Macdonald," and "Hurrah for Riel," wero displayed, The greatest enthusiasm prevailed. Hon. M. Pellet iur called upon all to unite, and said war hnd been opened by Orangemen in Shorbrooke, in attacking nationalists. Hon. M.

Nkw York, Nov. 14.—The Commercial this evening says: The naval preparations now actively in progress indicate a much worse outlook in Central America than any facts in possession of tlio public would of themselves suggest. The United States government is hurriedly preparing to concentrate its entire available naval strength in Central American waters, sending fur- ward each veaael as soon as it is in readiness for duty, each being fully ntmed nnd manned, and each being supplied with ammunition and provisions for a prolonged period of active service. Such preparations ure not made without adequate cause, but precisely what reasons the government litis for anticipating serious troubles iu that quarter, nobody not in the councils of the administration is informed. Nkw York, Nov. 10.—The Sun haB an editorial on the Isthmus trouble, in which it says: It ia probable the Tennessee and Galena have gone to Aspinwall, not for' the sake of unwarrantably interfering in the nffnirs of Columbia, but as the Galena did last winter, in order to be ready to discharge treaty obligations and protect American citizens should the occasion arise. The political condition of tho republic iB still unsettled. The excitement created by the recent decree imposing heavy duties on merchandise imported at Aspinwall and Panama haa aroused special fears of another outbreak against the government on the Isthmus. New York, Nov.. 10.—The Religious World is much interested in the proposed movement a fortnight hence to uwaken religious thought in New York and other eastern cities. The same journal says: Presbyterians will join Episcopalians in working for the revival of religion in this city. It is not improbable the Protestant churches pretty generally will lend thoir aid. We have not had anything like an extensive revival in these churches since the great' awakening in 1857, when even the prayer meetings in the business part of the town were crowded daily by merchants and their clerks, und the theatres wero turned into temples of worship. The religious excitement was so great then that it attracted tho attention of the whole civilized world. The Sun doubts if the impending movement will be so deep or widespread. The cjty is twice ns large uow as then, and the .tharacter of tho population has changed very decidedly, owing to thu enormous increase in the foreign element. Religious zeal has been cooled, religious fnith weakened by skeptical attacks.

Salt Lake, Nov. 23—The esse of Deputy Mnrshal Vandercook, charged by the police with lewdness, was taken before tho Third District Court to-day on habeas corpus, claiming the ordinance invalid. The hearing is set for Friday. Evidence accumulates that the church agents for months have been employing harlot spies und procurers to entrap sinful gentiles.- A contract with one of .San Francisco's noted harlots has been procured, whereby she was to come to Salt Lake and engage in certain transactions, thc nature of which she knows and fully understands, and for whicli she received 3700 in cash, and was to receive 81,000 for every prominent gontile'or Fedoral entrapped. Women ot the town came from other places it is supposed on similar contracts, and on their arrival took private houses nnd flooded the mails with letters to persons whose names were furnished thom, asking them to call. Two moro arrests were made to-day, but proceedings were stayed nnd no further arrests will bo made until tlie district court decides the habeas corpus cases.

Ottawa, Nov.—The Assizes Court here baa been occupied the past two days aud nights with two eases of orio. iunl assault in which eight young men were implicated, five in one and three in the other. When the crimes were committed, on the llth and 12th of June lost, thore was intense excitement and indignation in tho oily.

Verdicts of guilty were returned both caaes, and the prisoners were arraigned in the box tor sentence at 6 o'olock thia evening in the presenco of an iuimenso concourse of spectators. Judge Roio sentenced all of them to imprisonment for life in the penitentiary at Kingston, and in doing so said that had not the jury recommended mercy the sentence of death would certainly have been passed. Many exciting and pitiable scenes occurred in the court room after the sentences had been pronounced. Fathers, mothers, sisters and other relative* of tho prisoners screamed and criod pileously. Three of the mothers threw themselves on thoir knees in front of the Judge's bench and implored for mercy for their sons.

Seo,'« Offiob, 23rd Noyomhor, 1885. Tlio following roport on tho discoveries oj gold on lirunito Crook is puli- lisbod for general information. Jno Kobson, Prov. Sec. Victoria, 23rd Nov., 1885. Snt,—In accordance with your instructions, I loft here on the 23rd ultimo and proceeded, via Nicola, to Grauito Creok, wliich I reached on tho morning of tho 20th ultimo. This stream is tributary of the Tula- metm, or Nortii Fork of the Similku- ineoii, nnd falls into that rivor, on its ' rijjht bank, nbout 12 miles above its junction with tho South Similkumeen at Princeton —perhaps bettor known as the Vermillion Forks, m* stilt better as "Allison's," About livo miles from its mouth, Granite Creek is joined by u small tributary from tho south-west, and tbo point of junction is culled by tho miners "Tho Forks." Nut being a true fork, it is a niismniior, but, for convenience, I shall retain tho name whon speaking of that locality in tbis report. Looking up tbu valley of the crock from high land just below thc forks, the bearing hfiytii tho south-cast, and, in Iho distraiieo, from oast of southeast. Looking down stream from the samo point its genoral courso to the Tulanioon is about N. 30 E. (mag.) With tho exception of a few hundred yards nt its mouth, Granite Creek runs from tbe forks downwards in a deep V shaped yorgo, through which the yearly freshet, evidently of great volume, has wasbud everything except the gold ntid some gravel- iu fact this portion of the crock has been ground- sluiced by nature. From near the mouth uf tho cruuk to a point something over half n mile bolow the forks, a distance of about four milos, no claim which has been tested on both sides of tlio bed of tbo stream has failed to yield uoud returns, and it nitty safely bo said that the ground for that distance will average over au ounco n day to tho hand. From the point indicated upwards, continuous pay has not boon discovered, but theru is overy indication tbat this wonderfully persistent lead of heavy gold will thore he found in thu hill on the proper luft bank of thu croek. It afterwards appears to cross the creek to tho right bank, and possibly continues in that bank to beyond the short canon through which Granite Oreek runs, just before its junction with thu tributary from tho south-west at tlie forks. I havo not myself been above tiie last- named point, but nm told thu bed of tha stream is there considerably wider, thu valley not so distinctively V shaped, and thu ground much deeper. For thoau runsotis tho timu has been too short for a proper test to hnvo been made of this portion of tho creek, but for a distance of tivo miles men aru at work, at intervals, and I heard of a prospect being obtained by some Frenchmen, during the timo I was on the creek, over which they were much excited. Some experienced miners have a very high opinion of thu upper creek—called erroneously, perhaps for recording purposes, the South Fork- but it is right to point out that, although there is every probability of the run- of gold extending abovo tho forks, it has not yet been proved to do so. The creek is a long one, from twenty- five to thirty miles and, iu addition to thc annual freshet, ia Bubjoot to Hoods from rainfall during the autumn mouths. Uu this account many miners contend that the early Bpring, bofore the snow on the mountains begins ■ tu molt, will be thu best time for work. In judging as to the feasibility of this it should not bu forgotten that the mouth of Granite Creek has only about half the altitude of Barkerville, and three and a half degrees advantage in latitude. On the 3lst October, on lower Gra- nitu Croek, there were C2 companies owning crook claims, averaging probably 300 feet to the company, who wore working. Of these 34 were taking out gold and 28 either preparing to do su or prospecting. The gold admitted to have beun taken out by the several white and Chinese companies, from 5th July to 31st October, amounts to the Urge sum of $!>0,0b0, which, considering the great loss of timo caused by the freshet, and also the ditikulty of obtaining lumber for nluice-boxes, is a creditable showing. It is almost certain that the actual total is more, but that yield can be given without any possible fear of exaggeration. Chinese have for years boon mining on the banks of the Tulamuen many miles above the mouth of Granite Creek, and it is therefore, probable that other gold-bearing tributaries of that river, issuing from the samo slate range, will be found. The wonderful richness of tho developments in Cariboo during the autumn of 1801 attracted thither, in the following spring, tho miners who had huon working on the bars of the Sim* ilkameen- and who would, doubtless, under other circumstances, havo followed the gold to its source in thu same way as thoir brother miners working in 1858*50 on tho bars of tho Eraser had done. This appears to mc to bu a sufficiently satisfactory explanation of the delny which has occurred in thu discovery of this uow gold fluid, so fnr as minors aru concerned j Chiuose, however, have been passing the mouth nf Grauito Crook for yours, and their failure to tind out ita valuo gofifl far to provo the assertion, often made, thut they never prospect in any true sense of that word. It is indeed most fortunate that such has been tho case in this instance, for had the Chinese working on the Tulanioon come to know of thn easily worked and rich ground on Granite Croek, it would have beou quietly gutted, without our kitowludge and without any appreciable benefit accruing to u single white person. I was particularly impressed with the fact that those who wero warmest in praise of these new diggings were among the most experienced miners there; and certainly I have not, so far, seen any report in the newspapers which has gone beyond thu truth. The statements made as to tho yield of the claim owned by Messrs. Sherburne it Hashdoll, noar the mouth of the creek, are quite correct, and it may be added that im they are not working on bedrock the possibilities for this claim are very great. Other reports- such for example as Messrs. Briggs & Bromley taking out $400 in an after* noon with a rocker might also be verified, but it seems unnecessary, and I shall confine myself to giving onu instance of good pay being obtained whioh I have not seen reported. On Sunday morning, the lst instant, the Point Company, situated about two inlies above Cap). Sherburne's ground, washed up 45 ounces, or over 1700, at the mult of the labor of eight men fur thirty hours, Tbis ulnim is owuod by Messrs, Peurce and Harvey, the former of whom ia one of the pioneers of Cariboo, and well known throughout that dislrict. There is associated with tho gold on Granite Creek a vory hard, heavy, and whitish metal, which is probably platinum or iridium, perhaps u mixture of both. I brought away with mo ubout half nu ounce as n sample. Thore are no means of thoroughly testing it here, but Dr. G. M. Dawson, Assistant Director of the Geological Survey of Canada, has kindly offered to take it to Ottnwa for examination in the laboratory there, after which it will be forwarded to London for exhibition at the Colonial and Iu- diati Exposition to be held next year. I believe that the discoveries on Granite Creek will lead to the open- up of an extensive gold-field—a gold-Held, in fact which, from its accessibility and close proximity to farming districts, producing beef, flour, vegetables, oats, and hay, will be of more benefit to tho Province than any, with thu exception of Cariboo, hitherto discovered. Iu this opinion 1 may, of course, bo wrong, but-1 venture to submit that evon so, the finding, nt the close of railway construction, of a lead nf heavy gold, having n steady run for so groat a distance as four miles, is n matter of thu greatest importance, and an event on which Ilie province may be most heartily congratulated. On the luft bank, at the mouth of the creek, a level bench offers n good sito for a town, and is being rapidly covered with log houses. At tho time of my visit thero were seven generul stores (three of which wore kept by Chinese), two restaurants, twu licensed houses for the sale of liquors, and a butcher's shop, In addition, thore wure about fifteen houses in course of construction, and mure or less building will probably be carried on during tho winter. I estimated that there were between 400 and 500 whito men, aud from 150 to 200 Chinese, on nnd in tho neighborhood of Granite Creok. It is extremely difficult to do more than guess at the number of men who will winter iu a mining camp tho firat season, I think, however, tbat there will uot be less than two hundred whito people, uuless a scarcity and consequent high price of staple articles should drive them away. It is probable that a very short summer route to Granite Creek can be obtained by taking, ut tho end of tho wagon road from Hopo, the left or Canon trail, instead of the right or Grunt trail, which is usually followed. Thu head waters of Granite Creek can- nut be many miles from thu Canon trail; it is possible that sume of them cross it; and if a practicable route could bu found iu this direction it would savo a long detour to Allison's, nnd twelve miles of very bad trail from there up the Tulamcen tu tho mouth of Granite Creek. In the event of the upper portion of the creek turning out well, the saving in distance would be still greater. For a wagon road tho valley of the Cold water, which falls into the Nicola at Coutluo's, will probably, eventually, be found to bo the easiest line. It is n matter, however, which must be determined by explorations. I intended tu have appended a list of prices tu this report, but. tliere has already buen a sharp rise in Hour, and es the same thing iB likely, in my opinion, to occur in other articles, such a list would only be misleading, and is, perhaps, better omitted. I may say, however, as giving a general indication of prices, that fairly good meals are obtainable at the low rate, for n mining camp, of fifty cents, — I hnve, etc., (Signed) T. Elwyn, Deputy Prov.

Much has been written- both for and against tlio value of swamp muck aa a fertilizer. But in spite of all the objections to it, the fact remains that swamp muck, of an average good quality, consisting mainly of decayed vegetable matter, contains ono and a half per cent, of nitrogen. It is true that this nitrogen jb inert, nnd it is necessary to tako action to make it available. To do this is tho business of the farmer, who rarely finds the materials with which ho works already prepared to liis hand, Ono und a half per cent, is equal to thirty pounds per ton. Thirty pounds of the cheapest nitrogen the farmer can procure is worth three dollars. If swamp muck, by tho expenditure of a little labor at this season, can bo made worth three dollars a ton, or one cubic yard, what is it worth per acre if three feet deep? Wo forbear to say any more than this, lest our readers might think us extravagant. We would impress upon the minds of farmers who own swamps, whicli are left to remain unsightly and unheulth- ful eye-sores upon their farms, the hard fact that they are not only wasting a valuable opportunity of improving their lands, by neglecting to drain these marshy places, but are leaving unused the valuable material which might fertilize the upland to mako it doubly productive The writer speaks from his own knowledge and experience in this respect, having for sumo years dug and used annually several hundred tons of swamp muck, in the form of compost with lime and barnyard manure. He has used it, when dry, ns titter, as an absorbent in the manure cellar, cattle yards and pig pens, and lias found it to bo worth all that the chemists have claimed for it. —American Agriculturist, To Printers!
