SATURDAY, JUNK ;��, 189a. MINING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA. A meeting of the inomlicrs of tho Mining Section of the London Chamber of Commerce was held at Dotolph House, Eastcheap, E.C., on Monday afternoon. May Kt It. The first item on tlio agondn was an address by Mr. Hornco .T. Cnnnan on "Mining in British Columbia." The of more vital importance to British Columbia, and which may perhaps interest you as much as a mere acoonnt of the various minerals, and the places and extent, to which th iy are foun 1 in British Columbia. I moan tho difficulties and obstacles which meet us when wo endeavor to interest British capital in our country, and which are the oitgi'owth or the system upon which yon invest in mining properties. At the outset gentlemen, I wish you to disabusi your mill Is of tho idea that we have any mines in British Columbi... Wo have not, that may sound paradoxical, but it is true nevertheless. We have not got to that stago yet, and wo are glad of .t, for when you reach that stage the cream is off tho milk. I mike this statement hecuuse tunnels shafts, adits, deep levels, &c, have apparently become the siua qua non of a profitable investment in mining to the British mind, so much so that when we suggest the investing of cipitnl in projierlies on which those things do not exist, we are mot with a benign smile at oftr simplicity in thinking i my person with n well balanced husi- minie of Mr. Cinnaii is already tolor ably familiar tn our readers. fc wi|| j noas mind would risk theii capital in I.' r cullr, ..���: ' , ������.... nimbly, th, liri ���!'

Uuiuiull, who was shot by S,>roule on the dump of the claim, Sproule being duly hanged in Victoria. One word on the popular idea that in mining rumps wo go about with a gun in each pocket and a knife in our boot ready to kill at sight. and lie passed his probationary career This is as far us I know tho only case in Liverpool.

Thereafter he wont to Golden, could be scraped up. Not one man iu British Columbia, where he engaged in i a hundred carries anything more iu their superficial way will convey to yoi the wealth that was and must by the nature of things still be in Carhoo awaiting enterprise backed by a little money. Upon Williams' Creek in tho liO's the Canadian claim paid for a time ���J.'iOUO to $ 1000 a day. The Aurora claim gave as high as I17S ounces to the pan of dirt. Tlio Eriokson claim in six weeks in June-July, '64, gave 000, (>40, 1400, 1925, W00, 2600 ozs. mold; 10 claims upon this creek, UI40 feet in length, paid 81,500,000, or SI 120 to the running fool ; eight claims upon Lightning Cieek yielded 2J million dollars. The Campbell and Whitohull claims upon the same creek in Ml yielded $200,000. The Dlller claim upon Williams' Creek paid as high as 100 ounces gold to the man por day, mil in om day 200 lbs. w.light of gol 1, or about ��7700 sterling wis taken fro n this claim. How much gold was actually token out of Cariboi it is impossible to say, but William*' Creek is credited with having produce I some 20 million dollars. E lormmi as tiiesa yields are, I a n satistb I wore capital to go into Caribjo far greater returns of gold would be obtained; for not only ground which from natural causes was beyond tho reach of the early primitive miner but ground which he could not m iko pay would with modern appliances, cheapenel transport, .ml bettor kuo'.vlulgu of tho conditions land reqiiiromuiitH of gold milling returns which would astonish the slini'eiinl ling public. Always provided tlio lllldurlilkings are run upon American und not u|inn English lines. But that is a point I will be speaking >f later on, so will not go into it now. Northward from Cariboo lie llie Cussi- ar and O ueuicu countries of which we must confess we know little. That they contain gold and that i mining has paid th-'.o we know how far or to what extent the pay- dirt exists in them we do not know, and until thu present known ground is taken hold of by capital there is little inducement to prospectors to open up new country. Though we have been sjioaking altogether of auriferous gravels it must not be forgotten that auriferous gravels aro auriferous simply because the rocks have, under the district, as silver is at present playing' one does not care to make too positive the mischief with commerce; but nevertheless, these British Columbia silver mines are being developed and will be developed, and fortunes made out of them, whether the British people, who are the nominal owners of the soil, care to interest themselves in them or not, for a bountiful Providence has, in addition to the wealth with which it has blessed us, added this crowning blessing that it bus placed us alongside the most enterprising, energetic and shrewd, and at the same time speculative, race the world has ever seen. I moan the Americans and with them as far as we can see rests the saluation of British Columbia. If it is ever developed it will be owing to their energy, their enterprise and their money ; for we British subjects who have thrown in sur lot with this one of the richest provinces of Her Majesty's dominions have learnt that it is true that the energy and the enterprise of British capital is confined to well beaten tracks and that we must look to a foreign race to develop our mineral wealth. The principal mining development has iu the last year or eighteen months been in what is known as the Slocnn district in West Kootenay, and is almost entirely in silver lead the grade of which is exceptionally high being, taking an average over the whole cnuip, 125 ounces silver to the i ton of 2000 lbs. ��� This district lirst ! Iiegun to attract the ulteution of Americans in tho fall ol 1891. Thev statements regarding it, us this summer will see a large influx of men into that country, we will shortly know- more about it. The deposits occur mostly in limes and slates. HOPPER. There is an abundance of copper* throughout east nnd west Kootenay, hut except at Toad Mountain near I Nelson iu the south end of west Kootenay it has received little atten- I lion, probably owing to England being the market for copper ores, and our lining so little in touch with England. Round Toad Mountain considerable development work has been done, and this camp will probably show a good output in the near future, bttt most of the properties are in the hands of small companies and syndicates, and are being quietly worked The ore occurs in a diorite formation, and is good grade, running from 7 to 15 per cent copper, nnd 25 to 75 ounces silver. Copper occurs throughout the mineral belt already mentioned in East Kootenay, and n number of good prospects have been located but are not worked on account of the difficulty of marketing the ore. The holders are poor men and have not the means to ship their ore to England, and so far capital has not come forward to work the claims. In concluding this portion of I my paper I would say that I doubr. whether anywhere a better fiolu cm be found for the investment of British capital iIji.ii British Columbia.

As already stated, the Slocan district is almost entirely silver-lead, the Loudon.

To the north of the Slocan district lies the region drained by the Duncan and the Lardo. This district was only entered by the prospectors late in last summer, but bids lair to surpass the Slocan, if not for richness, at least tor the size of its ores deposits. It is likewise a silver-lead district, but differs from the Slocan inasmuch as its galena carries gold in paying quantities. As already stated, there are indications of considerable gold in this region, but the country is so young threw himself on that last refuge of destitue politicians-"the Irish party."

It is said the shooting was prompted by a row over a division of work on the highways. Last night there was a special election, at which a proposition was put forth and passed to extend $10,000 on roads. The families ot the chief and young Cleary were anxious to secure contracts for the work. At midnight Chief Cash while patrolling met young Cleary. The Chief, it is alleged, had been. drinking, and was in had temper, Cleary was accompanied by lawyer David H. Hunt, corporation counsel of the town. Cash accused Cleary of trying to prevent his (the chief's; father from getting work ou the highways. The argument became heated and finally Chief Cash drew a revolver and saying, " You attend to your business and I'll attend in mine." sent a ball crashing through tho brain of the young man. Tim chief thou walked away, (..'lean tvas taken to a j hotel near by, and given medical attendance. Tho wound, however, was fatal, and he died three hours later. Deputy Sheriff Delehauty arrested Cash, who was committed to the county jail by the coroner to wait the result of the coroner's inquest. Cash was ill full uniform when he did the shooting.
