At the time, Barkerville was home to a fast-growing community of miners who had been attracted to the Cariboo region by the discovery of gold. The Sentinel was published by George Wallace, and its stated objective was not only to disseminate mining intelligence, but also to eradicate official abuse[s] of power, both within the Cariboo region and beyond (vol. 1, no. 1, p. 2)."@en, ""@en ; edm:aggregatedCHO "https://open.library.ubc.ca/collections/xcariboosen/items/1.0170519/source.json"@en ; dc:format "application/pdf"@en ; skos:note " Vbt.'I'Q.

It will be within tbe knowledge of most of our readers that an effort was made last year to induce the island of Newfoundland to join the Confederation, and the project, of ,union had gone so far that, tbe terms of admission were discussed jointly by a deputation from the Island and by the Canadian Executive* It may hot be so generally known, however, that a magnificent scheme of water communis cation was one of the conditions proposed arid accepted,: as between the eontraefciog par ties, though the deadlock in. the NewfoundlandLegislature, and. the' short-sightedness of her people delayed, but we trust did not defeat, the carrying out at an early day of the proposed arrangement. I Briefly stated, th e sch erne! was this: The Montreal Ocean Steamship Company arranged with tlie Dominion Government to provide and equip a fleet of seven splendid ''steamers, say 2000:tons each, which should run each way, weekly, between St. Johns,; N.F., the British West Indies and Liverpool, pursuing some sucli route as the following : Leave Liy- erp o ol for Ne wf oun dl an d, to once to Halifax^ found out this new property of coal 'oil was simply this : He had a large boil oh the bald place on his head, which gave him: much pain, and, in the absence of anything else, he rubbed coal oil on it. He says it relieved the pain almost instantly, so he continued to rub on the oil until the boil was entirely well, when to his surprise he found a thin coating of hair coming out over thetbald place. He coritimied the use of the oil for a month or two, and. now-has a:heavy coat'of hair, on his head. Thisis! no humbug, but the simple truth, and we advise our bald-headed friends to try the expe^ment.,, ���������..\",;_ MISCELLANEOUS. where the sfceamei^:wonld coal; from there : A letter from Saxil t Ste., Marie, Michigan, tp the Pittsburg Commercial says : - The precious, metals of Lake Superior, 'which have remained untouched above and beneath the surface where nature placed them, and where they have been known to exist.for ages, but remained undeveloped on account of being in the soil of a slow and short-sighted, government, are about to create one of the greatest excitements this country has known for years. It has long since been known that that portion of the north \"shore of Lake Superior, about Thunder Bay, in Canada, was immensely rich in .the precious metals, but the selfish and short-sighted policy of the government and the monopolising tendency of the Hudson Bay Company, have thrown every obstacle in the way of its development. Recently two American Companies have been formed and have succeeded in securing titles to an immense amount of mmiiig- territory, and commencing operations. One .company has already reported at tbe Customhouse 3600 lbs. of silver lead ore, which will \\ yield one hundred and sixty-nine ounces of silver to the ton, and which has been sent to New York to be assayed. The other company is constructing a huge coffer-dam around a small island in Thunder Bay, called Silver Island. From this island ���������to Thunder Cape, a distance of one and a ���������qnarter miles, and ten feet under water, can be traced a vein of silver ore running entirely across. It is the intention to sink a shaft 60 feet deep, and then drive galleries in all direc* tions. This lode of silver ore is said to be exceedingly rich, far exceeding the celebrated Comstock lode in fevada, which yields $139 to the ton, while that of silver island yields $1G9, besides the lead .and copper. .The working: of this mine will be attended with a great dealof expense and risk, as the island is so situated as to be exposed to the storms which are so destructive on Lake Superior. Of this mining district Fort William, British America, will bo the centre, and it will be but a short time until that isolated trading post of the Hudson Bay Company will be the ���������seat of a great business, and a city of active, thriving Yankees will take the place of the1 worthless Indians and stespy Canadians. to * a- United States port to re!sceive;..Canada mails for the West Indie3; then to Bermuda, St. Thomas andDemerara; from pemerara; the return voyage would.begin, calling a;s before at St. Thomas, Bermudai and at. the TJ.

TER^ We took occasion recently to, draw attention to the ridiculous absurdity of a party of demagogues in Victoria trying to create an issue in the terms of Confederation as to the terminus of the trans-continental railway, at the same time publishing the text of a resolution adopted at a public meeting in New Westminster^ in which, we thoroughly concurred, deprecating any such dangerous and absurd agitation at present. Onr New Westminster friends, however, seem not to be con- ten t wi th the ac tion al ready take n an d 1 elfin g the matter d rop; biit they have got up a counter petition praying: that the Governor will not accede to the Victoria petition or make any communication to the Canadian Government in regard to altering or interfering with the terms of Confederation. A copy of. the petition has been forwarded, to Cariboo for signature but so far has received tto signatures, nor do we think it will. The people^of Cariboo, we believe, consider that the.course adopted ia New Westminster is only.calculated to flatter the Miotic vanity of the originators of an insane movement, to whom silent contempt would be.more galling than a thousand petitions, and-^hose insatiable appetite fore self-aggrandizement and notoriety would only be stimulated by argument or remonstrance.
