Mr. Herbert P.

"Oh, 'yes. I am off -again in about a 'fortnight's time.'1 I want 10 get "back in tim's to go up to Atlin before the ice breaks up, which 'will lake place about tlie middle of May.

Western Australia not excepted. Asked what he thought of British Columbia as a-, mining district, he said:—"The work that has al- ing themselves - very shows far better prospects than Western Australia did at' the time. You must recollect that this district has orily been prospected for two years. "Ifyou want to pick up a ready been done shows some really ' good property you have- to pay a marvellous prospects, not in ,one j ^g prjce for ^ ag tbe Americans place, but throughout the country lare there in numbers and are tnak- generally. Practically the whole of British Columbia is one huge mineral belt, which extends, from" the North-West and Alaska down to California " , TAl1^ what has been done up to the. present?" " The bcst-kuowu mines are situated in Ros^land, and I may say, that the British America Corporation owns some of the best mines ou the Pacific- coast—to wit, the Le Roi, the Josie, and the Colum- bia-Kootenay. I have not been over them personally, but their praises were sung everywhere I went The British' America Corporation are practically the pioneers of the northern part of British Columbia. They ha\\e laige stoies in Atlin City, in; Pine City, Bennett Lake, and U hite Horse Rapids. Beyond these shows,; they, in conjunction with the Rothschilds, have a contiolling interest; in the laige, i.ew copper district at White Horse. I was talking to a man on the spot there, and he told me that the British America Corporation's t,ropeities were worth from tiirfie to four millions.

I believe in labour being protected, but I do not believe in any labour union coming forward in a new country and dictating to the mine-owners the number of hours their men shall work- A mine that has been fully developed and works full time would naturally need three shifts of eight hours each, but when a country is only in a chrysalis state you catinot have labour unions dictating the unmber of hours the men shall work."

H. Browulee, in the1" Victoria Times, April 23. "What i> the political position, iii • Atlin?" was asked by a Times re*-, porter of Mr. J. H. Brownlee, the well-known surveyor vT:o is dowm on a flying visit from his h< m_s liit , the northern Eldorado. "Will tb*. present representative.-, for Cassiaj- be'returned. . -, Mr. Brownlee replied: '"Atlim. will be represented in the next Provincial Legislature by wta wiio.ie interests are identical with those £>.f the ' territory - of which it it' the centre. In other words, we want .local men and 'are going t* have them. ' We want our share, off\\ what is going, our-fair, proportion, of government money for the development of ' one. of the richest districts, of British Columbia, for the building of roads and bridges and the opening up;'of . the comitr; generally. We _..want- no more and will be satisfied with ^ no less; and we are going to send men down here to Victoria who will get it for us. "It is not a question of mere politics: it is the question of our interests. Mr. Clifford,cast in his lot among us for ' a while, theu he moved away, and now he announce* that he is going to run as a straight Conservative." - It is not a question of party politics at all. ' When the last election took place Atlin was only a name 011 the' map. The members for Cassiar were elected by the cannery men of the Coast, who controlled thevote of-a region big and rich enough for an empire. Now everything, is changed, The scales are'tipped. The Coast and the fishermen are in the light end of the balance. However, the Coast interests, which arc important, must not be overlooked, nor will they be; only now that At He has a preponderance of vote-s. \\v» are going to be legislated for up there, not by men whose interests- are wholly fishing interests, but br men who are identified 111 some way with the mining interests as well. "So you can write it down tint Cassiar will be represented in the next House by new blood," remarked Mr. Brownlee emphatically in conclusion. We are in a position t« authoritatively announce tltat during the coming week: a candidate will be publicly announced, .viie- will, it >* hped, snit all shades of paliticaJ OTJnions.

The Alien Act seemed at the first blush; to many people, to be an 'altogether praiseworthy way of meting' out to our cousins us they have meted lo us, but in 'actual practice the old thing didn't work for shucks, and so far as our district is concerned it goes to an early and dishonored grave without a solitary mourner. American capital and American energy are good things in opening up and developing' a new 'country, and much of; both have already been diverted away from here into other channels by the deterrent effects ol that same .act. Fortunately the damage done is not irreparable, but it has meant considerable delay 111 the burgeoning out of Atlin to the position her ' undoubted - mineral riches fairly entitles her to. It is to be hoped, but we fear it is a hope only, that the Americans, will reciprocate in kind by some modifications'in their mining laws towards those who - are' aliens Lo them. Time will prove. They have not shown much magnanimousness that way, so far. We suppose this must be placed to the account of the proverbial ungratefulness of republics. At all events vvt will have the .satisfaction ol knowing that by the repeal of the Alien Law, Canada ��� has done Jhe right aud generous thing by her neigh hour: Virtue is its own,'and only, reward, iu the most of sublunary'nutters, .but it is a comfort to kiiow that you are in possession of a virtue,- anyhow. Get up brother-Jonathan; and bow your acknowledgements. Don't be outdone in generosity or anything else. You are .big and rich, and can well afford lo do the graceful matter in hand who will assure excursionist's that there is no discomfort to be experienced on the trip, but in place of that, luxurious travelling on well-appointed steamers and railways for the entire distance; clean, comfortable" accomodations, with moderate charges whilst-in Allin; and we are sure the outcome would be most gratifying to the promoters and productive of the happiest results for the district. < C.

The book is ycleped "A Bad Book, by Rex and two other Egos." We would have noticed it sooner, but we are just recovering from an attack of brain fever brought on by our strenuous efforts to master the stupendous thoughts which we feel sure are buried within its covers. We have not succeeded so far in unearthing any of these precious nuggets, although to us Browning is as easy as rolling off a log. Evidently the book is so clever that 0111 intellect cannot rise to it. We are not prepared at present to say but that some other hypothesis may he true.
