The Commercial hotel, Vancouver, litis added to its equipment a handsome wagonette") which will accommodate t'.'ii persons insido nnd three on the driver's seat. The rig isBpleudidly finished and bears the name Commercial in bold gold letters on tbe sido. The cushions are leather and it is fitted with roller curtains so that in case of bad weather it can bo transformed into a closed carriage in a moment or two. The workmanship on It is first- class throughout. It may be said, too, that Manager Thomas did not send out of town for it, but- had it built there by Duko &. Wallace, who deserve commendation for the. oxcellont work done ou it. Besides being useful as a bus tbo turnout is admirably adnpted for parties wishing to rido around the park, and tho splendid springs with which it is fitted make it a decided comfort to ride in it. J. J. Mflckny, of the 13. C. Ex'press Company, spent n couple ol' days at Kamloops tbis week. Mrs. Campbell, wife of P.

After wan- high bench land, low bench land and river bed, The elevation of the high benches range from 250 to 500 foot above river bed at lower eud of claim, and the hoight of thc low benches range from 20 to (10 foot above river bed, Tho cubical contents of the high benches above stream bed amount to 130,300,000 yards, those of the lower benches lo 1,600,000 nubic yards, and thoso of lbe stream bed amount to 70,- 000 cubit- yards por foot of depth, which, with a depth of 40 feet to bedrock, as is reported to exist, would make a total i'or stream bed of 2,800,000 cubic yards. Willi Die addition of the property upon tho south side of the river, which you are about to acquire, the acreage of your claims will be BWelled to the amount ol Till acres, and the cubical contonts.of Ibo high benches to about 385,900,900 cubic yards. 'I'lie formation of your claims Is chiefly that of a loose gravel, apparently of ancient river deposit, with Boino (bin firmer beds or pay streaks appearing at various elevations, upon the exposed sections of banks.

R., and of this distance 00 miles consists of a good stagejroad, therom»ining20 being "pack trail," With regard to the very Important question of water supply, you mine is most fortunately situated. Within throe miles of your claims there is a constant available supply of 10,000 minor's inches at an elevation or 650 fest above river bed at lower end of mine. Thta will place tha maximum length of ditch roqulred to operate your whole property at less than live miles, whiuh, considering the ample-and constant supply, i-i a natural advantage probably unequalled in the province, Other mines In the Cariboo district have bean obliged to conduct their water supply, of far inferior extent and constancy, for four times the above distance at enormous expense. At (he Horse Shoe Bend a peculiar natural feature exlats of great value. It will be possible and advisable to di- vart the river from tho present broad channel around tha Bend by means of a short tunnel through tba point or rook at tha "corks" of tht Shoe, and tho* dry tha rich river bed and low gravel banehea in tha Bend so as to render them readily accessible for sluicing purpoMs. The cost of this tunnel will be small aa compared with the great benefits which will be derived from Its construction, one of which will be additional water power that can be advantageously made use of for washing tho lower digging)*, and operating an electric light plant, Regarding tha river bed and gravel flats of the Horae Shoe Bend, they should from their natural position bo found to be exceptionally rich. Above the Horse-shoe the river flows very swiftly through a deep canyon, but when It strikes tha " frog" of the shoe or providing tongue of rocks, its velocity la suddenly checked, and around the bend it varies from only three to four mllea an hour. Thus tbe channel here forma a natural alulce box, which muat catch all the gold brought down the canyon. One ot the most necessary requlattes for the economical operation of a placar mine la well known to be an ample aud convenient dumping grouud for the washed material. In this rea- peet your mine is also moat favorably altuated. It not only possesses the deep channel of the Bridge river for the entire length of your claims, but at the bend there is in addition the great circular pit of fully 50,000,000 cubic yarda capacity. Thla after wash- of the rirer bed and lower benches in it will form a most admirable dumping ground. For the purpose of constructing flumee, sluices, dams or other structures an abundance of timber is available on all parts of your property. My estimate of the cost of the various works necessary In order to equip your mine, la the sum of 178,600, as per my detailed report. It haa been ascertained in practice that one miner's inch of water will wash as much as ten cubic yards of gravel per day, so that with 5,000 inches of water, the right to which yon have secured, you should be able to handle 50,000 cubic yards per day. This in a season of 235 days, which you should at least count upon, would amount to the enormous quantity of 11,250,000 cubic yards, which at the very low average of 10 cents per cubic yard would yield tho handsomo sum of $1,1.15,000 in gold per annum. In aouclusion I am pleased to be able to atate that, after careful examination, it is my opinion that in many respects your property is unequalled as a placer mino in the provinco of British Columbia. •2.00 PER tear; cavoobii cunt!* Mines, Spatsum in tho near future.

In lliis message, which is a very lengthy one. be first deals with tho proposal to add to the classes excluded from llic United States all illiterate persons over 16 years of age, save the pnrontspi' grandparents of qualified immigrants. now exists a great bed of auriferous gravel J50 feet iu dopth. A further evidence of the gravel bed having once been the course of this branch of the river appears from the fact that just above your claims there has been nt somo time a great slide of rook from the side of tho high mountain, whioh wonld account for the stream being deviated from tho aueieiit to the present channel. This great gravel formation, having been the bed of the ancient river, might well be expected to be highly gold bearing, us you have found tt to be. Your property is exceptionally favored iu its location and natural facilities -for economical operation. The climate of Lillooet is well known to be about the best to bo found In British Columbia, so that you may expect to he able to operate your mine some seasons without interruption, or a leaat for nine months of the year, whioh is about two months longer than work can be carried on in the famous Cari Pfa.fbt SMpaKMla.

They secured opium valued at 1200,000, smuggled in for a syndicate of Chinese firms. The opium came here two months ago consigned to H. R. Davidson, of the Bank of British Columbia, who turned the drug over to the warehouse of Swayne -fc Hoy t, where it was seized before it could be removed by the Chinese, who are the real importers of the smuggled opium. In an intereiew with some men from Lillooet the following information was gloanod: Cayoosh c.-eek ia not one of the oldest camps in the Provinoeor British Columbia but Lillooet dlatrlct is one of the oldost of our mining dig. trlota Ita history reads back ai far aa tho history of the excitement along the Fraser in 1858. Cayoosh c?cak, how. ever, only goes hack about seven or oight years, aud naturally theoonver- aation led up to that portion of tha country. It is only fair. Haid oneof the party, to state one of the flrat men to send a prospector up the ereek was John Marshall, or Lillooet. That I think wns In 188ft This man made IjUiO a clay, but as he bad tbo Bridge river fever he did not stay at tho work. When a miner (jets the fever to go to a place he is almost sure to go, no matter what he hat in front of him. Shortly after that a Chinaman came along and went to work. None of un c*n aay whnt be made, or for that matter how other Chinamen round out what he Was doing, but -tho fact remains that soon after he got to work Chiuamea commenced to pour in. They might he aeen atriking up that way on the run with their hate ln their handa. The Chinamen worked the creek for about three miles, but they nover bottomed it. It has often been wondered where the gold come from that fed the creek. It may be remarked that in tho creek there were found three different classes of gold, the precious metal varying la appearance and quality. The source, or sources, of this gold have not yet boen definitely ascertained. The Chinese who were working on the creek at the time tbat has been referred to obtained numerous nuggets, ranging in value from 110 to $150. Many cf these contained quite a quantity of quartz, so much so that tbe Chlnamaa had to beat them up with She hammer to free the gold from the roek in orde* to make their finds salable by weight. Numbers of the nuggeta, ao called, cob. taineda bluslah white quartz, The ledge from which theee o*m* hot not yot been diacovered, but It is quite poa. slble that it may be found In ma. of the recent locations. Time and development alone will prove ihla. Othar gold, taken out or tbe creek, ahowad a similarity to nuggeta that bar* be« foiiad In deconip-osed rock In tha Bo* nanza ledge, which reasonably laadata the conclusion that this ledge hat contributed its share during tha wear aad tear of ages to the wealth of the orsak. Up to the last year the general imprss- sion was that above the Bonanza and Golden Cache ths creek contained no gold, bnt it has been proved that tha Cayoosh ereek prospects right up ta the source, at Duffy lake, whieh fa dis- tant some thirty miles from the Vrassr rtver. I would like to aay, said one of the party, that from my observation I do not think that the Golden Cache haa contributed anything to ths wealth of the ereek, becausa ths Golden Cache ledge ia still intact. In yeara to corns tt might have dono ao because nature will, in its own good time, make all ledges feed the creeks in their vicinity. But uone of us would have lived long enough to see any gold from the Golden Cache lodge washed into the flowing water. This led the conversation naturally up to the matter of ledges on Cayoosh creek. There are two dis- tirict and well-defined ledges on tha left or north bank of the creek, Theea have been traced for about 12 miles and both of thorn have been prospected, more or less, all along their course, with' very satisfactory results in freo gold. Among tbe well-known claims that have been located on the upper ledge are the Golden Bagle, which le the leading claim of the Got* den Cache group, tbe Alpha Bel), Mayflower, Woodtick, California, Monarch, Whale, Ample and Dandy. On the lower ledge are tbe Post, Preston, Hazel, Gem, Stanley, Duchess and the Treasure. On the opposite bank are other ledges, on which are situated ths British Columbia group, the Atlas, Maude, better known as the Big Horn Bonanza, Louisa, Mary Ann, and numerous others, extending for a distance of at least two miles, recently located, and on which but little prospecting work has yet boen done. On the same side of the creek, and about five miles below the Bonanza, some very rioh float was found about two yeara ago. This was as rich as anything yet found in tho district. Several locations were made In the vicinity, but as yet they have not dropped on to the source from which the float came. Theee, however, comprise some very promising prospects. Among these are the Snowshoe group, Gott group and a group including the Nanaimo, Marguerite and the Aurious claims. Other claims located farther up the creek cannot yet be commented upon, be* cause little Ib known about them, From knowledge of the claims it is safe to say that within two years there will be seven or eight stamp mills in operation tn the district. Speaking of the Lillooet district generally, and its prospects tt is only fair to eay that the claims located in the' Black water section, Seaton lake,' Anderson lake, and the Bridge river districts, many of which are very promising, are being taken hold of in such a way that tbey are sure to be Boon contributing to the prosperity ef UUnaefc-*Warld.

Portluud, Ore., Feb. 22.—A well known business man just buck from a trip to Idaho vouches for the truth of this story of good luck: "About two weeks ago a mitier offered Morris Yonzol. n Moscow, Idaho, tailor, a handful of mining stocks for a suit of clothes. Yonzel refused that sort of currency iu payment for his labor and goods ou tho grouud thut he had no luck iu stocks. He remarked thnt five years ago a miner gave him 5,000 shares of stock, then supposed to be worth one cent a share. He never rerlized anything ou the stock. The miner said that if it hud been Le Roi stock it would have made him rich. The tailor started and said he wns quite certain that was the uatue of the stock but he could not remember what he had done with it, as he never expected it to amount to anything. A fow days later Yonzel wont to the suspended Moscow National, bank for nu iusurrnce policy and some other papers deposited there, among which he found the missing 5,000 shares of Lo Roi stock, now quoted at S8 a share, with accrued dividends. The Le Roi mine owners have boon negotiating with au English syndicate for the salo of the property, hut the luttor declined to accept without a transfer of every sharo of stock so far issued. This lot of 5,000 shares was long advertised for, but now thero will be no obstacle to the sale of the property if tho owners como to Yenzel's terms, Ho demands S20 a share, or 9100,000 for tho wholo, aud will probably get it." $1,000 Worth of Diamond.. Stolen. Burglars entered tho roar door of Challouer, Mitchell & Spring's jewelry store on Columbia avenue, Rossland, next to tho post ofllco nbout 7 o'clock Wednesday uightaud made a successful robbery of jewelry, watches nnd wish nmountiug to over 82,000. The work was dono while Mr. Mitchell nud Frederick White, u aalesmnn, who have been in the habit of locking up tho storo and going to supper at tho sumo hour since Christmas, were absent. Valuables wero always left iu tho show cases and display window Tho precaution to lock them up iu the safe was uot considered necessary. Tho burglars carriod the booty to thc school house whore tho small jewelry cases and trays that were takou from the store woro stripped and thc trays and cases discarded. Thc empty cases which once contained valuable watches, rings and broaches, numbering about twenty, wore found by some school children about 0 o'clock tioxt morning and takon to tho principal of tho school, who callod an officer and had thorn taken to Mr. Mitchell. The mnpty cases are tho only thing found since tho bnrglarly was committed giving any clue to the whereabouts of tho marauders. Tho Lo Roi air compressor plant hus beeu put in motion aud ho t.sr hus given perfect satisfaction. This is tho largest plant of tho kind in British Columbia and furnishes power for 40 drills. It is an Immense affair, weighing 250,000 pounds and was built by tho Rand Drill company.
