Candler,' President of the Postal. Telegraph Cable Company, was seen in thc general office of that company in this city to-day. His attention was called to the report that the consolidation of the Postal Telegraph Cable Company Is likelv to occur soon. Mr. Chandler stated that there Is not tbe slightest foundation in fact for such a statement. When asked If some action had not been lately taken which will remove the active competition hitherto existing, and If there is not some identity of Interest between the companies, he replied: "There is no identity of interest what i ver. The two properties are wholly distinct and just as sharply competitive as ever; neither has anv interest in tlie other directly or indirectly, and it is the design of tne owners of the Postal property to so i-ontinne, otherwise they would have accepted the methods designed to injure rather than protect telegraph business, as others have done, whose purpose has been to force a sale or lease of their property."

The central part of the body of the church waa set apart for the accommodation of the triends of the deceased, and the two side aisle* were thrown open to the public, who availed themselves of the privilege. The choir then sang the anthem, "The Lord is my Shepherd, I Shell not Want," in a very creditable manner. Tbe Rev. H.

There are many citizens who are willing to pay more for home made machinery and . goods, home material, etc, that they need in order that thereby their neighbors and fellow citizens may be benefitted, nnd in this they are not only neighborly, but wise, for they profit as well as others by the money thus kept at home. Quolitv, however, is a different matter. Tt cannot be reasonably expected thnt the merchant or mechanic will pay the highest prices for comparatively poor goods, far lees take chances with home material, that he has reason to think is inferior to that manufactured elsewhere. If local! manufactories can offer productions which are just as good as any manufactured else-' where, they have a right to ask people to : buy them, even if they cost more. But if they cannot guarantee as good quality then they have no right to demand dis- crimination in their favor.

Alt INTERESTING DESCRIPTION. Of the Islam* by an Aotual Qbi.mii [From oar Special Correspondent.] Texada, Headquarters of Courirr, Gheat Eastern Lode, Aran. 9, '89. Your correspondent made tin early start this morning, with H. James as guide, intent on making a thorough tour of inspection of the claims owned by the Invincible Company in this vicinity. The first lode I visited was the Great Eastern. This lode was discovered by the outcrop, near the edge of James Lake. It is running northeast from about the centre of the lake shore. A tunnel is being run into the mountain from the outcrop. When work was first begun the lode was only 5 feet in .width but at a distance of 20 feel, to which the tunnel is now run, the vein shows a «idth of 8 feet at the face with good solid walls. This lode seems to be gradually widening and is what one would call a well defined ledge. The quartz is a light grey, carrying pyrites of iron and copp.-r; galena also been occasionally found in small quantities. On one side of the ledge can be seen a streak of white decomposed quartz, which my guide informed me was similar to that found in the Golden Slipper, lately bonded to a Vancouver syndicate, for the sum of $50,000. I broke off a piece o f this quartz which I shall bring down with me when I return. It is very rich looking rock, and contains native, or virgin silver in a crystallized form. I consider the company very fortunate in being owners of so promising a- ledge, and should not be surprised at any time to* hear of some very rich strikes being made on the lode. The next claim visited was the Nanaimo Bay. The cropout of this ledge was first discovered by the uprooting of a tree at the bottom of a canyon, and it is at that point where they have commenced a tunnel which has been run into the lode i$ feet where it is a feet wide, but above and beyond where the work has been prosecuted can easily be discerned, the lode which can be traced for a considerable distance on the surface showing a width of 4 feet. This lode carries large quantities of Bulphurets and galena, and is destined to be one of the Invincible Company's best claims on account of the galena it contains. This claim runs almost parallel with the Great Eastdrn. A. Richardson's claim, the Arion, is running very near at hand but somewhat pinched by its close proximity to the Nanaimo Boy and King Solomon lodes, making his claim describe an acute angle. I saw his stakes, bearing date of March 13th. The claim is a good one. The : next lode i_ the Welcome Home, also the property nf the Invincible Company. The :...face in__i<a-4 tions of this lode arc' unlike all others . so far visited. This claim wis located 1 through the discovery of flour quartz on the (Sulfa*-. This quartz being gold bearing was accepted ai tuffi-iem evi dence of' thc existence of the lode, .nd a shaft being sunk revealed the lode at a depth of four feet, at which depth the vein showed a width of two feet, but upon the shaft being sunk four feet deeper, and reaching a total depth of eight feet THK I.ODF. EXHIBITED a -width of $6 feet with favorable indications of its spreading out to a much greater width further down. The quartz is pitching almost straight down—and to use a mining phrase- - is "standing on end." .This quart- reminds one of the Colorado auriferous piartz, and as it is looking better as a greater depth is attained, I am of the opinion that good results must come from a further prosecution of work on thc same. This claim is staked off north and south, and the ledge is running almost in Ihe same direction, though probably a point or two east of north. There is no mistaking the nature of this quartz, and I consider it to lie a good prospect. Later on I shall speak of the biggest find of native gold yet discovered on the Island, and as ihis lode is only three miles from the last bonanza find, it is very likely a sister lode, or an extension of the same. The Maud S. lode belonging to the same company was next visited. The ledges of this claim—for there are four of them within the boundary of the stakes—run north-east, and all of them can bo traced throughout their entire length. The nature of the quartz on the claim is of a somewhat similar nature to that found on the Nanaimo Bay, though more scattering, the claim shows four distinct lodes iveraging three feet each in thickness. A tunnel has been run into one of the leads a distance of nine feet, which clearly defines the lode, the walls are bluish colored porphyritic rock, which is the best indication of rich quartz, porphayry nearly always carrying within its embrace crystals of other minerals. Two canyons separate this claim from the others already mentioned.which are convincing proof of a series of continuous and rich ledges extending through the entire holdings of the Invincible Company's property, the vastness of whose enormous wealth is now established beyond doubt. Some may say that yonr correspondent is trying to boom this particular company's property that they may thin be enabled to sell out to advantage, and to all of tuch he would say—do net be to too hasty in your censure, and withhold your criticisms until further reports come to hand, and in this connection I wish to say right here, that not only shall I give reports from the above company's holdings, but also from all claims accessible, and possible to be found. It is also my purpose to get at facts for the purposes of this, and other communications to the people through the medium of the Courikr, and I shall send nothing misleading, but on the contrary shall state only that which comes under my own observation, and to that end shall only stutr that which I know to be true from having seen it myself. I shall speak still further of the Invincible Company's property as it is more convenient to classify them as I go along, thc largest number of claims being in a body. The Tiger lode was my next stopping place and is found at the edge of a flat piece of ground—once a part of the lake, but now covered WITH HARD HACK, causing a division of and forming one lake into two. About 100 yards from the edge of the big lake the stake is lo be seen abutting on the west end of the King Solomon terminal post. This claim has not been worked, but being adjacent to the ott.er claims which look so promising, will probably form no exception, and also contain a fair share of the precious metals. We are now on the King Solomon claim. The ledge crops out about the centre of the claim and has been worked in two places. A tunnel has been run into the cropout running in a southerly direction. Ihe drift is eight feet into the lode, which shows fifteen feet in width. The quartz has every indication of carrying gold. Though: it is probably deeper down on the ledge, it can be traced on the surface a thousand feet, and is the heaviest rock I have so far examined, and yet the softest and easiest worked of .ny I have so far seen. On the bluff opposite, just across the lake can be seen innumerable stakes, the claims of Benj. Baker, Robt Aitken and many other Na- naimoites being reprepresented. In fact the whole country hereabouts presents a bewildering net work of stakes. It is not, however, my purpose to dwell on those which have not been worked, unless some special features make th.m worth chronicling. We break camp in the morning to go over the mountain where other t-lnims are located, and it is (.ith many regrets that I isive up my present headquarters for hore 111111 quite comfortably situated when one tn lies into consideration the roughness of tlio country, for hero I have a good fire to sit by, and .1 pit lamp to give me light io do my writing, for yoa mast know that all my writing must be done at nighl after tramping and taking notes throughout the dav, and you may Im sure that my present position is not nn enviable one. for whnt with up hill and down dale, over ridges delving dotfrn into canyons, crossing divides, straddling ■ ledgA. -and occasionally falling down intd a gulch ton or twenty feet below _vi. rooks without number, through lirnuh aud briars, over liii'i's of windfalls with trees piled so lildtli 11.1t. suemlng-Jr be'ittipas.able, this and more too is what' your etim-spondoiit. hns tiiciiooitntor iii his dully exorcise of Kb uuinit information concerning the Islnnd ot Texada, the Kdarado of tho northwest.

Advice to Invalids—If you wi.h to otnafa onlet refreshing sleep, free from headache, relief from pain and anguish, to calm and assuage the weary achings of protracted disease, invigorate the nervous meOia, and regulate the circulating systems of the body, you wilkprovide yourself wilh tnat marvelous remedy discovered liy Dr. J. Collis Browne (late Army Medical Staff), to which he gave the name of CHLORODVNE, and which is admitted by the profession to be the most wonderful and valuable remedy ever discovered. CHLORODYNE is the best remedy known for Coughs, Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma, CHLORODVNE acts like a charm in Diarrhrea, and is Ihe only specific in Cholera and Dysentery. j CHLORODVNE effectually cuts short >U 'attacks of Epilepsy, Hysteria, TalpltatitB : and Spasms.

Davenport, Esq., 33 Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury, London, Desr Sir.—We embrace this opportunity of con. gratulating you upon lhc wide-spread repu. tation Ihis justly esteemed medicine, Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne, has earned fi r itself, not only in Ilindostan, but all over the Exst. As a'remedy of general utility, we much question whether a lietter is im. ported into thc country, and we shall I e glad lo hear of ils finding a place in eveiy Anglo-Indian home. The olhcr brands, wa arc happy lo say, ore now relegated to tha native basaars, and judging from their salet we fancy their sojurn there will be but evanescent. Wc could multiply instances infinitum of Ihe extraordinary efficacy of Dr. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne in Diarrhce, nnd 2nd Dysentery Spasms, Cramps, Neuralgia, the Vomiting of Pregnancy, and oi general Sedative, that have oaasrred untk c our personal observation during many years, In Choleraic Diarrhoea, and even if the more terrible forms of Cholera itself, «e have witnessed its controlling power. We have never used _ny other form of this medicine than Collis Browne's, from a firm conviction that it is decidedly the best, antl also from a sense of duty we owe to the pra\ fession antl the public,. as we nre of the opinion tnat the substitution of any other than Colli* Browne's, is A bELIBERA"E BREACH OF FAITH ON THE PART OF TIIE CHEMIST TO PRESCRIBE AND PATIENT ALIKE. We are sir, faithfully yours, Symes & Co., Members of thc I'harm. Society of Great Britain, His Excellancy the Viceroy's Chemists. CAUTION.-Vice-Cnancellor Sir W.

A Dearth nr News.—Local news is never very plentiful in Nannimo, but yesterday there was a denrth which was felt.

Captain Carroll, the commander, is a genial and wholesouled gentleman, while first-officer Cheney, is most courteous and obliging. Tlie Corona will go on the Arctic excursion route permanently about the 17th of June next.

The two boats at onetime do hot nearly fill the dock, nhich will dispel an idea held by some that it is not large enough for almost any boat on the Pacific Ocean. The Itoliert Kerr's hull is literally alive with barnacles, and general appearances intlieate that the vessel needs extensive repairs. * Xf.fSERMEN as Pedestrians.—The second special train from Victoria last night arrived at 12 o'clock having lieen delayed at Chemainus an hour nnd a half from the fact that no water could be obtained for the Iron horse. Two of our city fathers, tired of waiting set out to walk home, but becoming scared at the thought of the highwgymen, who formerly infested the vicinity of "Mayor" dray's burgh they sat them down and patiently awaited tbe time of departure, Tiik Sea Serfent.—Capt. Rail, who ar. ived In town last evening from San Juan Island In a canoe, reports having seen the only real sea serpent on the Pacific Coast. Monday afternoon aboqt 8 o'clock the sea being smooth, just a light breeze blowing, and the Captain snugly eseonced in the stern of the canoe, lanily enjoying n pipe, and visions of sea serpents and other monsters of tbe sally deep being far distant from his mind, he was startled by the foaming of the water just in front of bis little vessel. Hastily looking up ho saw not twenty feet distant the tail of what he believes to he a veritable sea serpent lashing the water to a foam, He did not see the head' of the monster, it being submerged in the ocean. The animal, or whatever it might-be called, after disporting Itself alongside and in front of the canoe, suddenly sank ont of sight nnd was no more seen. The Captain states that the caudal appendage of the serpent was fully twenty-five feet long and glistened in the sun like burnished armor. Captain Rail vouches for the veracity of the statement, and says he is ready to make affidavit to its truth fulness. Saturday. The Steamship Corona completed her cargo of coal at the V. C.
