Reynolds of Ashcroft, president of the Anderson Lake Mining and Milling Co., operating on Mc to 1,000. Although this does not represent a very large sale or a big amount ol money, it goes far to show Ihe opinion in wMch the property is held when ve remember that the buyers were mostly men of very limited means yet willing to put what little spare cash they had into it and ail being men who aie thoroughly acquainted wilh the nature of the property. The following a pears in the July number of ihe British Columbia Mining Record.—Lillooet is making a spleiidit' showing of late in quartz development. Cayoosh Cnek will soon have a 50 ton cyanide plant at work and it is hoped will bo successful. There are good properties on this creek despite tbe failure of tbe much-boomed Golden Cac'.< . Bridge River shows up weli aud ».: arrastras proving, as was doue last year, that there is rock free-milling and running $100 or more to the ton, what may we not expect with develoyment. From 80 tons of rock $8,000 was taken out of the Lorne mine with an arrastra. The Bend'Or mined and milled $24,000 in some three mouths last season and expect to ao much better this year. Probably the Brett property on McGillivray Creek, on which a 20 stamp mill i- nearly completed, is atti acting more attention than any other at present. A ten-foot ledge, said to give a very high average value and fairly well developed, has been reported on very favourably by Lane and Hay ward, experts, and a sal, is being negotiated at a large figure. two dit lies to be built, one of about thiee miles and aio'hfrof abi-nt four m lea in length. A 24 inch pipe lire is to be laid covering the entire distance. A sawn i I and electric plmtwi.lbe instated. Yet wih all tl.e r great amount of work to he do ie it is Mr. Brown's ii • ten ion to have everything in readiness next sprinir ior a full seasons work. At present on v a mall f<>r<:e ii employed but after certain legal formali ie* a e .one through with, which will require some title timi, it ia the inten on-if Mi. Brown to employ a large force of mei. The enterprise will be watched with much interest, as its suc< ess will mean very much for the district, and Li loon is to be complimented on having such an enterprising and business like man as Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown will shortly be followed by his family and they wi I take up their residence in this vicinity for some lime at least. Cariboo Clean-Up. Horse Shoe Bend. Mr. W. W. Brown of Newark, N.J., returned to Lillooet on the 9th inst. Mr. Brown spent several weeks, in the early part of the season prospecting a hydraulic claim on the Horse Shoe Bend of Bridge River in the interest of an eastern company. Having made a thorough test of the property, he weut East Jin May to confer with his company who pronounced the result very satisfactory. Mr. Brown proceeded to Horse Shoe Bend on the 10th inst, and on his arrival found his foreman Mr. Jenson had considerable work well under way having 200 feetof heavy nitch completed and 600 feet more partly constructed, the same work is being pushed along with pleasing a success. A large amount of preliminary work has to be done before mining can be commenced as there are One hundred and thirty-five thousand two hundred and seventy-rive dollars in one solid chunk of gold came down from the Cariboo Mine this week and well has Superintendent J. B. Hobson kept his promise to make an output this year that would rejoice the hearts of the stock holders in this big mine. This great cone of gold was brought down as above sta'ed this week, James Bain in charge and by Parker's Express. It was, by the kindness of those in charge, on exhibition at the Dominion Express office for an hour or two, and was shipped on to Toronto the same i_ht of its arrival. It is the largest single brick or cone of gold ever moulded at a mine. This output is the result of 62 days run and it is expected by the management that there will be two more good shipments yet this season. Each will be large and the total output will be very likelv for this season between $300,000 and $400,000. It means much for Cariboo and we hope to see a revival of interest in hydraulicing in this section of the country. There is gold in Cariboo in vast quantities; extracting it rt quires capital, time and experience. We trust that from this date on there will be a decided improvement in business conditions here, dependent as it largely is on the successful exploitation oi its mines. Too much credit cannot be given to Mr. J. B. Hobson for his firm, unyeilding and far-seeing judgment in bis long service in opening up and making this greatest of all placer mines, Tlie Cariboo, a success and a dividend payer.— Ashcroft Journal.

Special to The Prospector: Victoria, July 19th. - Queens weather mar ked the opening of the Legislature by the governor this ifternoon. The staff was increased by the add Hon of the officers of the Chilean warthip now here. Theie was the usual ceremony. The speech regretted the wars in Africa and China and congratulated Canada on loyalty to Mether- land. Pleasure was expressed that the Prov- vince was fairly prosperous, notwithstanding the wave of depression. Metalliferous mining resuming normal condition of activity and largely increased output expected. Coal mining prosperous, output reaching preceeding ye*rs. Lumber-active and foreign demand growing. Agriculture making progress, prospect much development. Fisheries last year, successful. Too early to judge this year. It was intention lo make strong representations against large influx of Japanese. Roads aie promised, sites have been arranged for manufacturing pulp. Commission will be appointed to enquire into the working of the mining act and condition of water rights. A tonnage tax of five cents will be placed on coal. By this the Pr-ivner will be obliged to pay $35,000 .'iluually. Agent general office in London will be placed on a satisfactory basis. Booth waa appointed speaker, Cassiar ballot boxes were received last night. Bella Coola officer spoiled ten ballots which iu the recount tod iv were rejected.

J. N. Wright, pastor. Quite an excitement was caused last night by the sounding of tl.e fire alarm. The bucket brigade turned out iu full force and ran to tbe residence of Major Burnet. It was a false alarm, however, the fire being a small bonfire in the back \\ ard. E. M-;Carty, a gentleman of spurious habits, much leisure aud given lo soft spots toward dusky babies, is now a guest at the Government House for failing to dig up fifteen dollars being the price of fifteen minutes privilege of baby nursing. A meeting of the land owners on the suburban flats is to be called shortly to discuss the way and means of supplying water for irrigation and other purposes. As the different parties interested are a lively go ahead lot of men, there is no doubt of their success, and a tract of nearly 100 acres of land, now little more than a desert, will be converted into verdant fields, gardens, orchards and homes. There ia every possibility of making this one of the nicest plots of ground in tbe district. London, Ju'y 13 —Though there does not appear to lie at this hour any juf- tificaion for the statement that officia' onfirmation has I een received here of the massacre of the International Colony at Pekin, it is hardly doubted that such confirmation will be the outcome of tbe present suspense. The report m the springs to the south east of the city, nor hward to Middleburg and Durdepoort and thence southard to Nitrals Nek and Krngersdorp. Lord Roberts omits to give Hie name of the commander concerned, giving rise to the belief that worse remains to be told. Ev< n if the mishap be not more grave than his information implies at present, it proves that the situation is still serious and there is no possibility of any troops being spared from Soath Africa for China, but on the contrary that it will take a long time to clear the country of the Boers. News has reached London that Lord Roberts has been suffering from a serious bowel complaint and that Ladv Roberts was hurriedly summoned from Bioemfontein. Lord Roberts though now better, is still weak. London, July 12.—Lord Roberts' re ports to the War Office, under date of Pretoria, July 12th, are as follows: "The enemy having failed in their attack upon our right rear, as mentioned in my telegram of July 9th, made a determined attack upon our right flank yesterday and I regret to say succeeded in capturing Nitrals Nek which was garrisoned by a squadron of the Scots Grevs with two guns of a battery of the Royal Artillery, and five companies of tbe Lincolnshire Regiment. The enemy attacked in superior numbers at dawn, and seizing the hill commanding the Nek brought heavy gun fire to bear upon the small garrison. Nitrals Nek is about 18 miles from here near where the road crosses the Crocodile River. It was held by us in order to maintain road and telegraphic com* munication with Rustenburg. Tlie fighting lasted more or less through the day, and immediately on receiving information early this morning of the enemys strength, I despatched reinforcement? from here under Colonel Godfrey of the King's Own Scottish Borderers. Before, however, they reached the spot the garrison had been overpowered and the guns and the greater portion of the Scots Greys had been captured owing to the horses being shot, and also about 90 men of the Lincoln Regiment. A list of casualties has not b_«n received, but I fear tbey are heavy. Simultaneously an attack was made on our outposts near Durdepoort north of the town, in which the seventh Dragoons were engaged. The regiment was handled with considerable skill by Lieutenant-Colonel Low, and kept the enemy in check until they retired on their supports and would probably have suffered but slight loss had not our troops mistaken some Boers in the bushes for our own men. General Smith-Dorrien had a successful engagement with the enemy yesterday near Krugeridorp, and inflicted heavy loss on them. General Buller reports that the Boers, who were destroying his line of railway nearPaardekraal, were driven off yesterday after a short action. Pretoria, July 13.—Colonel Mahan, reinforced by General French's Brigade, yesterday took all the positions held by the Brers in the neighborhood of Rietfontein. A number of Boer dead were found. The British casualties were trifling. THE PROSPECTOR, LILLOOET, B. C, FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1900 THE PROSPECTOR. Published every Friday. SUBSCRIPTION .... Parable in advance. *2.00 KIC. A. FRASER, Editor and Proprietor. FRIDAY, JULY 20. 1900. THE FRASER BIVER DIFFICULTY. Vancouver Independent. Trouble that has long been anticipated by those who have been watching the current of events, has broken out on the Fraser River, due to the unnatural influx of Oriental labor and the consequent shutting out of the white man, to a very large extent, Irom the honorable employment he has been engaged in for so many years, that of salmon fishing. Heretofore everything went along smoothly, employer and employeed were as a rule satisfied, the one amassing large wealth, and the other making a somewhat comfortable living. Life went along very well until a most undesirable class landed upon our shores— we refer now to the Japanese—and practically took the bread out of the mouths of the people of our own race. We say we refer now to Japanese because it would seem to be hopeless under existing conditions to get rid of the Chinese incubus that long has been, and is now, a blight upon this province of splendid possibilities The speech delivered in tbe House of Commons upon Chinese immigration betray an ignorance of this subject that is positively appalling anyone reading them from Hansard, could easily imagine himself at a Sunday school frolic where well-mentioned old lady philantrophiets and giddy young girls who ought to be in better company, for their own sakes, show kindnesses upon the Mongolian that he usually laughs at and in some cases takes advantage of. The awakening will come to the East onlv when they know these Asiatics as we do. And the Japanese are more dangerous, because more clever. They quickly assimilate with the country, go to chun h, don our dress and iu a short time seem to the manor born. They are bright in their knai k of pulling the woo) over the eyes of those dear, good people who are never happy unless they have a mi&i-ion the world, forgetful ail the while of those of their owr. flesh and blood who are wandering in the desert of unbelief or whose hearthstones are cold because of the lack of natural warmth. It is such namby-pamby ism as this that induces, to a very large extent, the ill- under which our people on the Pacific coast suffer. It would perhaps not be exaggtration to say that in a longer or shorter period, if this'wholesale immigration is permitted to go on, the Canadian laborer along lines that the Chinese and Japanese take up might as well shake the soil of British Columbia off its feet and go some where else, where he is not obliged to struggle bard against cheap iabor such as is to be found nowhere else in the Anglo S.txon country. We are a small people, we do not seem to be growing at tbe ratio we ought, and the task of building up a great nation under the folds of the Old Flag might : be on August 10, between Bob Fitzsimmons and Gus Ruhlin, who recently- defeated Sharkey, and tbe s- cond wili be between Fitzsimmons and Tom S.iarkey, on or aoout August 25. B. C. Salmon Exports. Victoria, July 11.—Seven vessels with a capacity of 414,000 cases have been chartered to carry the salmon of the salmon canneries to European markets.

George Jones, wlio'a an elector." NOTICE. Insane Gold Seekers. One of the most remarkable features of the Amur's voyage from Skagway lay in the fact that no less than seven crazy people, six men and one women, were among the passenpeiR. Fur the accomodation of these unfortunates, apartments constructed of woooen flats were erected on the starboard deck aft. I was found necessary to co: line them in this way, as several of them were violent cases, and all required constant care ami attention. One of the male patients called "Joe," tried to throw himself into the sea, and lie lady patient also made an effort, but both were prevented from doing so by the redcoats aboard. It was the soldiers, also, who leieared the men, when they were i'O be taken ashore, and who accompanied 'them in carriages to the street car, and thence to New Westminster, where I hoy wen taken for confinement in the provincial asylum. Three of Ihe cases weie eo violent that they had to be fettered in irons as a precaution against injury to themselves and their guardians. An especially sad case among these afflicted ones was that of Dr. Hewitt Belmore, a medical man, who it teem* went to the Yukon about a year ago, and since then, aud until a couple of months ago, was practicing his profession in Dawson. There were some on tbe boat who had known and spoken to him there, only a short while back, before the affliction came which deprived him of his reason. Another case was that of Edward llerrick, an old soldier, who had served in the British army. Allured to the gold fields, as others by visions of wealth it promised, be apparently met wilh reverses and hardships which deprived him of his reason. Gathered from the soldiers the history of these cases seemed to be about as follows: Isolation iu the hills, bitter disappointment, lonely brooding, and then the map in the mentality, which sent them raving into (he town, to be cared for in the gnaid-lioute of the force. How He Votes. The following i6 an unreported incident befo'e one of the commissioners appointed to inquire into a certain election petition*.— "What is your name?" "George Joues." "Well, what do you know of this!" "On the day of the election I went to the Spotted Dog." "What did you there!" "I see'd a man." "Well what did he do?" "He gave me $5 and said as how I was to vote for ." "Well, did you vote for Mr, ?" Saved His Honor. "Vat ees eet Jean?" Monsieur, ze doctaiie comes today to vaccinate monsieur." "Nevaire!

Enthusiasts in Chicago were so keen to show that city of wind and pork had two million inhabitants at tne date oi tbe recent census, that they formed an association familiarly known as tbe ' Two Million or Bust" League. They irigathered within the city for census day large numbers of country folk, "by offering them special inducements and even hired high-priced physicians, in some case.-1, to prevent the very sick from dying before census day. Yet Chica.o af er all fell short of its two million by 157,000 souls. The League is "bust." ' Family Resemblance. A yoHng gentleman took his little sister with him while calling the other evening at a house wnere he is a regular visitor.
