ASHCUOFT, B.C., FEMtUAIU* 21). ISOfl. Thrown Out. Undor the ubove heading tho Vancouver World of Feb. 23, fays: Word cotnOB from Victoria that the private bills committee, in oonse* fjuonce uf informalities bus during tho last few days thrown oul several bill* brought beforo it fur consideration, amongst the number are tbo bill re- I'tttinjj to traction engines ou the Cariboo road and tlm one relating to the Consolidated ICloctric Light. As far as the reference to tho traction matter ia concerned, it is literally n perversion of tho truth, for the traction engine bill was thrown out of the committee by a direct vote of 5 to 3 aud thero was not even au al leged informality iu the bill. It waa fbrown out on its merits alone. The majority ot the committee believed it would be a detriment to trallic ou Che* Oarlboo road; also, that lite and limb of people traveling on the highway would be continually endan gered. The statement that there whb an informality is simply a notice to the legislature and thc public that the petitioners do not propose to let the matter drop but propose to badger the legislature na long as there is n chance to get through their iniquitous measure. It is very probable, however, that tho measure will be killed in committee, no matter in what slinpf it coiiren up, and tho chances are it has a dozen heads and will raise one after the other as lung as there is any chance of success. Columbia Iii ver and Western. The route to be taken by the Columbia River & Western railroad ns shown on the maps now beforo the private bills committee of thc provincial legislature is as follows: Beginning where the Trail Ureek narrow gauge railroad ends on Nickel Plate flat adjoining the town of Ross land it will skirt around the bas-a ol Red mounta'n nnd cross Sheep creek near Gold hill. Here it will swing to the south, gradually ascending thc range, and stiil keeping its elevation run north up Main Sheep ereek about <!0 miles and back south again till it crosses the main range between Sheep creek and Christina lake, alio llirough a pass u**ed by the Dewduey trail. Hero ia begins to descend, making about 25 or !t0 miles of dis t-atvee to tho outlet of Chriftina lake. Prom here it follows along jhe valley of Kettle liver tu Grand Forks, shortly after pas-ting which point it turns north again and runs clear around Summit camp and thence south and west down Eholts and Boundary creeks to the Kettle river valley oneo more. This valley it foi- lowB.to Rock creek and then from near lho head of thnt creek it fiwlngs northwest to Iucameep river. Crossing this river it keeps a fairly direct Une to Okanngan lake where it will oonnect with the Shuswap & Okana gan branch of the 0. P. I'i. Branch linos are projected to all the camp in the Boundary district. From near Summit camp a lino runs south-to Greenwood and Wellington camps and another northwest to the Long lako camp. From the Providence camp a third branch runs to Deadwood and Copper camps An altornate route is shown for a portion of tho distance. It ex.ends from where the line reaches its most northerly point in tlio Sheep crock volley to ihe outlet of Christina lake This alternate route instead of turning smith again keeps on in a northwesterly direction and crossing over the divide, follows down McRae creek to Christina lake, joining the other line at tho outlot of tbe lake, Tlut the people of tbe Oknnagan t-iMintry fully appreciate what the building of tbis railroad means to them is evident from the fact thnt pe titions favoring tho granting of the charter nut- pouring in on the govern me tit from Vernon nnd nil portions of the Oknnngan valley, The farmers til these districts havo been trying for years to get into tho West Kootenay markets with their produce, but it has been a vain effort heretofore.-— Rossland Miner. "Poor Degraded Mexico." Tho silence of the eastern prnss on the subject of --poor degraded Mexico" during the Inst four months is very great. Thc fact is Mexico to- ■lay is the most prosperous in the world. A gentleman jubI from tiie city of Mexico declares it is impos.il.le to get nny thing like comfortable accommodations in that city because of the rush. Every hotel in tilled to uvci flowing, and tlio couutiy is undergoing a veritable boom. Tlie Tho reason U tnsy to understand. The Mexican receives tbe same wages ho always did, but any one from n gold standard country can go there, and with ono dollar in gold eau buy two dollars in hi 1 ver. Let a man go there with -.5,000 or $10,000 in gold, nud has a capital of $10,000 or $"J0, 0U0 to begin with; that is, his capital doubles when ho gets there, and he is able also tu hire laborers nt half price; h>> can buy lauds at half price, and whatever he can raise from these tnnds he can send to tho United States or Europe and get a double prleo for it. Tho Mexican treasury is overflowing; it meets Us running ex* peiisca easily, and Ins enough surplus to buy tho gold necessary to pay the interest and, as it becomes due, the principal, says tho Salt. Lake Tribune. Enlightened Mexicans laugh nt the situation ofthe United States; thut is they laugh when they are not pitying us, that wc, with all our boasted intelligence, aro tied up in such a financial knot, that our industries are reduced to such an abject state that neither ihe government nor lhe peo pie know which way to turn. The situation is all the inure rediculous when wo think thnt the president ol the United States and his press in the great cities predicted when he demanded the repeal of the purchus ing clause of the Sherman law, and .In* remodeling of the tariff. We were to have abundant prosperity in sixty days; confidence was to be restored; there was to be a return to ihe old prosperous eia that was upon us before some bad men tried to bolster up silver at the expense of the government, The president got all he wanted, nnd since then he has put in his time mostly in twooccupations ono is to go duck hunting, nnd the olher is to cry aloud for more bonds. The states are forbidden by Hie con stUution to make treaties with foreign [lowers. If tho states from tho eastern base of the Rocky mountains west had the privilege of handling their own finances and making treaties with foreign countries, we would enter into direct relation with Mexico, Japan and China; tho old prosperity would nil come b.ck to us within a month; and the cxumpU would within a year absolutely compel the men of thu east to admit that they all the time had boon wrong in their warfare on silver.

Callahan, a well known mining engineer and expert. Mr. Callahan is American by birth he and bis father having -some yenrs ago been well known mining men in Utah with Oliver Durrant, manager f tbe CentorS ar mine. The Callahan brothers now havo an office in Loudon and do a very largo business as consulting and practical miii'ng engineers in different parts of the world. C. W. Callahan has been all over the gold fields of America, Aus tralia and South Africa. He left Jubunnesburg just before the recent trouble culminated tliero. He recently came out from London to examine a mining property in Montana and while there concluded to come over to Rossland with Mr. Rand. S.nce co-ning here here ho has visited meet of the prominent mines of thn camp including the Le ltoi, War Eagle, Center Star and Cliff. So far ho ia well impressed. To a representative of the Rossland Miner ho said: " You have very lurge bodies of ore here which you cannot did out for a long time, indeed they seem, to bi* almost inexhaustible. The thing you havo to learn is how to treat this ore. That done you will have one of the greatest mining camps in tlie world. I think tho ores will bo treated here at thc mines. That will iu tho end be found the most economical. You mu*-' be rid of transportation charges altogether ir.d yot your treatment charge down to the lowest possible point. It Is the only way you can hucecssfulty handle your immense bodies of low grade ores. I am going to have 500 pounds of tho ore sent over to England and have somo pert German chemists experiment with it." Advices from Vancouver stale that large shipments of gold dust con titiuo to bo quietly made to China by Morgol placer miners. Thus a large output of British Columbia gold is mado which fails to enter the official returns and be credited to lhe prov ince'B precious metal. The Colvllle llesarvation.

Fur from it. We have it on llio highest expert authority that the Tru.il creek mineral bell extends well down into Stevens county and enough is known uf tho reservation to he reasonably sure tint il will be found lo contain mnny good prospects and possibly some big tnines. Tito ronHmport.ince oflhe opening ol Ihe reservation lo miners consists, bo far ns tho people if Ho---iluiiilr.ro concerned, in the fact that it will doubtless attract mill moro attention to this section and will be of great value lu enabling miners lo more fully detormlua the true extent und direction ol the Trull creuk mineral belt. To llio British Columbia residents of the Kettle river valley nml Boundary districts it is ol slill greater Importance in this respect as many ol their mint promising camps nro practically bounded at present liy tha inltinuiionsl line. Tho opening of lhe reservation is also of great Importance to the whole people of southern Brit lilt Columbia by reason of the fact that it will encourage the construction of railroads both to Rossland and Boundary creek.
