ASnOROFT,B.O()DEUEMBER7,f88.( Money .Yot Paid Min'h complaint is made bv the ftiembcra of the Agricultural 9ociety of thi. section owing to tha ib-lny of tho proper officials of tlio Government procrastinating, and ftiilin-r to turnover to tlie society the appropriation allowed by the Government toward paying the expenses incurred in connection willi the Inland -.grl cultural assooinvion, held Oct. lst,!jnd, -and 3rd', at Ashcroft,. 0'ily #130 -was appropriated for this purpose by tlie Government, and we eau see no reason why this amount should not be paid promptly and allow the officers of the society to pay off the balance of the premiums ns yet unpaid. Tho Director*, knowing that tiie funds would be short, voluntarily and'unanimously decided that so far aa they were concerned thoy would donate any premiums awarded to themselves, but the outsiders have not an yet been paid in full, owing to the Government appropriation failing to coin-e as expected. As all premiutns are to bo paid iu full and this balance is needed, it is to be hoped that the proper department will at once order the appropriation sent forward, Further, tho society dofl3 not believe a fair apportionment of the funds has been made to a society of the importance of the inland Agricultural Association The* matter will be looked up tins winter and a fair and equitable arrangement asked for. for tho next season. The officers do not ask more than their proper share for the society and will be satisfied with nothing less- Is $2,000 to Victoria, #1,500 to Westminster and #150 to the Inland' Agricultural' Society i fair distribution of the public money Mining Operations in Mexico. If Cortez could have foreseen-that \ii 300 years, more or les?, just a few paces from where his legions encamped on his victorious entrance Into the Aztec capital, share and stockbrokers would bo selling and buying securities, based upon the silver and gold mines of tho republic, in two exchanges, he might have left the decendants of tbe Tultecs in possession in disgust. Not being gifted in the reading of futurity, however, he pursued the course indicated by history, and thus it is that other localities than this suffer similar affiic tions. The first stock or mining exchange in Mexico started bu*iness in the City of Mexico, October 20, 1S05, with a membership of 100 active brokers. The exchange has two calls daily, and is styled " T.i Balsa de Mexico," literally the "pocket book of Mexico." , The institution has ele* gant quarters, a finf board room, and publishes a small mining and stock daily. The members are required to give #5,000 bonds, and this had the the effect of barring a. number of traders who at once formed an organization, a stock eXcHnnge "Nuevo," on the Calle des Palmas, which concern is thriving even to the detriment of the parent exchange. For tho past three years the transactions in different shares of mining enterprises in the republic have been on the increase, and a class of curbstone brokers developed, who were termed' ""coyotes," and conducted .heir trades on the sidewalks of the main thoroughfare,!' Calle San Francisco," at certain hours in the day, almost impeding travel. As many ot them were irresponsible, the speculator incurred the double risk bi losing his money on the investment or through the rascality of his agent, and the establishing of these ex- . changes will prove of great benefit to the community. Gold and silver and rtia stocks of the rich Laciendas are dealt in, prices ranging from #10 to #1,250 a share. While there is a fixed number of shares in Mexican companies, there is no stated par ■value. The "Cinco Sonores" with 2,000' sharesr pays #30 per share monthly dividends, and sell at #1,200 to #1,300 a share. This stock exchange business is new to these dusky sons of the semi- tropics, and it generally takes half an hour fur the caller to impose his feelings beforo announcing hit list. Each stock is handled tenderly and ' with caution, and after each announcement, but for the rustling of cigarette paper, nothing else is heard to mar the quietness. Tbe members aya each other furtively and the bids "___3*2r-^w--, .fe.. aud offers cmno with great gravlty after long and mature deliberation.

Texas Has a Land King, One representative in tho next Congress will be nominated and elected bjawnmun. She la tho widow of Captain Richard King, and she owns a p duel pal Ity In Southern Texas.

This region, nearly as big nn New England, cninpri.es four great counties, aim is owned by four families—thc Kings, the Kennedys, lhe C'-lliiises and tlm Armstrongs, Much the largest ofthe tour shares belongs lu fee simple to Mra. King, Few men in this World1 have oyer been so hated and feared as whs Captain King. He wan a character typical of Texas life twenty years ago. Employing the labor of large mimbcis nf ignorant Mexicans, he induced lliem to acquire homeBtcada under the laws of the United mutes. Thoy were always in debt to him and eventually their lands came to him. lu this manner the gigantic estate was largely built up Olher white men who took np holdings in the r.giou were shut iu with barbed-wire fenc._ by the groat proprietor. They found themselves cuclosed as in mousetraps they could not drive out their cattle, and so sold their properly to Capt, King. The region is nt preacot the most shut-up portion nf the United Slates—a veritable terra- incognita, without railways and in lhe earliest stage of development. The ancient road from San Ant min to Ilrowuiville has been closed by Mrs. King's fences, and there are no gates. There is no road law in thai counlry. The only way to get from Brownsville to Alice is by a s'age route of torly hours. The stage carries mall tor a large part of Mexico. In tbo entire dlatooce there is nol a single settlement, beciiu-Je the territory traversed belongs lo Mrs. King. Tlie ro ginn Is wholly wild, being used fur cuttle graalng. In " The West from a Car Window," Mrs. King is referred lo by Uicliard Harding Davis, who remarks tlmt it is difficult lo imagine a lolilnry family occupying an urea larger than some ol lho Eastern Slates —an area that would iu the East support a Slate capital, wiih Governor and Legislature and numerous small lowuj wilh competing rail way systems and baseball nines. The owner of this principality it a gen Croat and liberal-minded woman aboul sixty years of ago. She does inueb good and lakes .are of her people. To each laborer on her eslates she gives a cow. Her much of Santa Oertrudis is the largest in lhe world. It is bounded by Corpus Christ!'Bay furs distance of forty miles aid by barbed-wire fences fur DUO miles more. From her front door tu her front gale is thn teen milen, and she can drive in her carriage sixty-hve miles in a straight line without going off her own premise* Her house looks like a castle on the Rhine—a typical baroai.il mauslnu. It. is situated uu a slight eminence, surrounded by tlie modest dwellings of lierdepondouls und by fields of waving corn. Beyond on every side is a wilderness of tucsqultu aud cactus. This out-of-the-way Texas chateau is us completely furnished and as handssmely equipped as any ni-tnaiou uu Fifth avenue. No luxury thai muuey eau buy anywhere is lucking tu die widow, who is the duugn. ler uf the first Presbyterian missionary to the lliu Grande. Corpus Chrisli ia the terminus of a railway, and1 from that point a continuous streum of wagons carries ice and olher accessaries lu the ranch. Mrs- King lives for several months of each year iu a palace al Corpus Cltristi. Her son-in- law, Robert J. Kleberg- Is general maaagcr of lhe ranch, oa which are 200,000 cattle of imyorled breeds. Long trains of freight cars are mado uu at Corpus Chrisli to carry Mrs. King's cattle to the East. Tu run the vnst eatate costs about #100, 000 a year. For every twenty miles uf barbed-wire fence there is u man to make repairs aud see that no break occurs. Ia ihe old days to cut a louce was an olfence likely to result iu tlio death ul llio perpetrator of the act. Three hundred cowboys are regularly employed, 1,300 pontes being set aside for their use. Every spring all of the calves are rounded up fur branding. They are driven inlo a pen through a wooden chute, aud as they leave the chute, each one is caught by the leg and thrown upon its aide.

Canada to be Explored. The Canadian Government hus very sensibly determined upon a scientific expedition tu Hudson liny early next yesr lu study the resources of ihat district und the surrounding couutry. The powers at Ottawa owe it tu lhe geographers ul lhe United Status to aid much mure ihnn they have done in the exploration of Canada, the accepted map of which is now so Indefinite. Perhaps citizens of Montana and Washington have accomplished mure fn lhe opening up'ot Canada's great uu* explored areas thnn all thu Canadians of this generation. As for the Hudson buy environs, there nre many engineering and commercial reasons why those particular regions should be systematically explored. There ure luur grand arens ul' unknown land lying aruutid that lur northern budv of water. There is, first of ull, upon Hie northwest the area surrounded by (luck's river, Great Slave lake, Athuhnsci. lake, Hatchet and Reindeer hikes, Churchill river and lhe west const uf Hudson Bay—a region of 178,000 square miles, much larger thun Great Biiuin and Ireland, and somewhat larger than Sweden. It ha* not been explored since Ilaurn.'S three jiurucys in 1709-73. His maps are not even roughl-, approximate, according to his own account. The second area lies between tht Se vtrn and Oltawapishknt rivers and the const of Hudson bay. It cou*prises an area of 23,0.1) square miles, n, larger nrcit that of Nova Scotia. Thc third is the urea tj thc soulli nud east of Jam 13* bay, cm- bracing 35,000 square miles, where the Bell expedition just finished a superficial survey. This ro_hm may be compared in size to Portugal. It U the nearest of these unexplored regions to the Urge centers of population. The fourth area comprises almost the entire interior ofthe Labrador peninsula, or Northwest Territory, and contains 28!>,OJ0 square miles, or more than twice Ihe area of Great Britain and Ireland, with New found land thrown in. Prof. Hind, A. P. Lowe and R. F, Holme have touched upon, bul never entered the boundaries uf this immense unknown tract. And tu these four Hudson bay nrcnsiiiigl.t also be added lhe lower lying area between Trout lake, Lac Sen] and the Albany -river, which is small in comparison wilh the o'hern, yot never- the.less equals in sizo tho wholo of Scotland. &N8& i_ ■ll.^iiilinnpw-)'ii'.-'i-ii-ij'i'iin"l**«i been a Christian wl.cn Kentucky went Republican, according to pn in* ise, yet even thnt miracle did i ot convert him.

A Lesson in Etiquette, A. little ne-f-ro gamin pissing alung B-iy street yesterday morning saw a stump of a cigar Tall on Die side walk in front oflhe store of Ellis A Huzzoy. He made a sec- nd base slide for it, aod when he had It safely corraled beneath him he rolled his eyes around tiie points ofthe compass to see ir another gamlu had also seen thc stump tall. Dal war in Cuba is making Havanas skace, an' you can't take uo chances," he remarked, as he brushed off tho ash and blew away tbe sand and dust frum the coveted "snipe." Going into the store he said to Charley Ellis: "Boss, gimme u match, please, sab?" "Matches are not here to give away, bul to sell," aa:d Mr, Ellis, assuming a look of intense soventy. "Dey Is,eh"?" "That's what lliey are." '-Well, how much Is dey Vr box!" "One cent." Th* gamin tiltea the stump in one cor nerofhis mouth, held to tho band of his pantaloons with one hand, ran the olher hand in his pocket and pulled forth a copper. "Gimme a box," and ho laid down a cent. ' He got the box, struck a match, lit thc stump so well that tt poured forth volumes of smoke, and then handing the box back to Mr, Ellis, assumed a look of intense severity and said: "Put dat box on de nheff, nn' de nex' time ugemmea comes in hyar an'nx you fcr a mutch you gin him one outen my box. ; _ Pray for Bob Ingcrsoll. Chicago, Nov. SO.—Chicago Christian Endeavorcrs mostly smile when they speak of the plan of their brethren in Cleveland to turn Col. Robert Ingersoll from the error of his ways by the prayers of three thousand faithful believers. Dr. Samuel A.

A gentleman mado a present to a family of a Poll parrot. On arrival at the farmhouse it would not speak, und the farmer undertook to teach her some Queen's English. After several unsuccessful attempts at "Pretty Poll," ''What o'clock," etc, he lost his patience, and withdrawing her from the cage said; "Now, then talk or I'll wring your neck.-' This failed, and with great disgust he threw her into the hencoop as a fit companion for the dumb birds. On paying his usual morning visit, he was much surprised to hear, "Talk or I'll wring your Deck," from Poll. Opening the door, he found that there were about a dozen dead chick ens around, the last oue in the process of execution. Poll, with a verv knowing look at the farmer, said, •'You talk or I'll wring your neck." Collapve of farmer.

Tlie first si., miles nr lhe river is more like n ■iruine farm limn a river, the width of tin valley beiiif. in sonic place* two mile- wide, nud covered with uiur-.li gruBS. A great deal of lhe wiulcr's supply of lmj tlmt U consumed here is cut und baled, and hiuitd sway iiftcr the ground has become frozen. Cnderneath tliu grass rontt- )-u millions of dollars iu gold. Shafts have been sunk years ugu in thc endeavor lo gel the bottom, but the rush ofwalcr in nil cm>u8 was so ureat that iho persistent miner hud al Inst to give up Ihe la.k ol seeing bed rock. Among boiiig of lhe f-.liii.tts sunk were Ihe Kurtz ■.*. I.uie, 12-1 feet deep, which was sunk purl wny ii. ■ied rock, but they drifted oul too soon and got drowned out, leaving a splendid steam pump in lite bottom of the shaft lur r-.nm.oue else lo recover. Old Mfljnt Dowuic tried to find lho bollom, about 100 yards Irom lho Kuriz & Lane, nud it was lhe same old story, too much writer. All that is lull today of these old works arc a few limber tit mark the spot where fortunes were spent iu trying to make moro. There is not n foot of this whole six miles but what would pay to woik with drcdgiugmachii-cryor stuiim shovels and pay iiandsnmcly. It la all taken up ■ton under leases, some of which will have to lapse, as they arc held by parlies ,'*r speculation, unless the law is evaded as ihey havo uot the means to wort their ground to thc extent of three thousand dollars a vear. £nl.rln„ tns cnnvoti nt Ihe end of the six miles we liml Mr. F. Laird of Chicago, dilligcntly .at work prospecting. This gcutlcmau has beon here tor about two , years, and during thnt lime ho has bored rive holes to' bed rock to ascertain the depth .oft.thc grouud. The shallowest iiulo was C"> feet deep and the deepest on the south aide was 105 feet. Iu each and every hula fine prospects were struck, running as high aa eleven dollars lo thc yard. Sinking was commenced last spring, and after gelling down tifty feet a great inrush of waler was struck, which the pumps wero unable to cope with, despite thc fad that their speed was increased to 40 strokes per minute with a 12-foot stroke aud 12 inch plunger of tho old Cornish typo. Abandoning the shaft, Mr. Laird •darted his men to drift southward to find led rock, which was reached a few weeks ago at a dlslaoce of 620 feet. Here he is now starling another shaft to go down through bedrock and then drift back -indcr the stream. Tho work* already have cost over $00,000 and il everythluc v.iea well It will not bo long after getting Ho channel before Mr. Laird will bo a Millionaire. Ills ground lies at the nmnth of Mosquito creek, which here empties Into WilloW^rlver, and was once and is still probably tbo richest creek in 1 miboo today. There has uol been any thing more tliim surface work done on this .reck'sinco thu early days, when for tunes were taken out. Even today can bo _.__ the old shaft* half way up Island mountains, Where tbo creek lakes Ils rise, Thorn oldshafis led to workings that were ,,,;, und all llio ground around (hem is still rich Tor hydraullclng.

Alongside the Alabama J. Butts owns a claim which has paid handsome dividends, aud no oue knows what It would par if the bottom could be reached. Here, as else* where, the lack of high level water obstructs the miner, five weeks' run beiunconsidered a good season. Following ou down Willow river wc come to WhipaaW creek, which also had its fair share ol gold, but has been worked for many years by lhe Chinese. Ou the opposite side we find Cornish creea, which for some reason or anolher was never prospected except in oue place. Thero is no reason why it Bhould not be as rich us its sister creek«, as it is right in lhe center of the g.dd belt. Two miles down we come to Hard- .scrabble creek, where .Tie Shaw and his son are making Ibingi lively, taking out $.0 per day with the aid of two men, Irifllng ou bedrock with good results. From here on down lo Slough creek lhe whole of Willow river is under lease, and bow much below lliat I do not know, but pnv can be lound ils entire length io where t empties lulu lhe Fruser river near Fori George.

A mile further WO came to Junk Shepherd's claim which lias beeu bunded lu eastern capitali-ls for a good figure, and L- a good paying proposition for a dredger. The pay is line, but well mixed from top lo bottom.

This mine is oue of what nre locally called the first rung'1 td deep level mines, in which Ilie reef or blanl.ul bed is to be found at a depth varying Irom. 2,000 to 2,500 feel. Preparations have already beeu begun for sinking shafts f_r a second range, which will havo to go .lowu 5,1)00 feet or more to reach the gold- bearing deposits. The location of the shafts and their probable depth is based upon the indications of thc dip aud direction of Ibe htauket beds as givcu by the diamond drill.

Medicated l.i/is fur JVi$$in>jf, The following s-.iggflf-tions, are applicable to Uritisb Columbia people and possibly Ashcroft girls can glean a hint or two on a subject that lias always engrossed a large share of the uttetition of the majority of both sexes; * Chicago's Hoard of Health having sd-rled it, many others are following the examp'e of warning people to beware of kissing. Iu a rocp-'ily issued circular an eastern health department say-: "Dj not let others kias you indiscriminately, and never without first wiping your lips caro fully with carbolued rose water nnd thoroughly drying them." It would seem to a simple minded man who has not had the advantage of medical training that there is no harm in exchanging a few microbes with an attractive young ludy by kis.-iiiicj li*-r. If we must hnvo microbes it strikes us that they aro better served than to .orvetliem boiled or on the half shell. At present, of course Ashcroft girls pucker their lips in derision and laugh to scorn tho hints ofthe eastern alarmists, but if a mandate is sent endorsing this osculatory prescription it will Pave to bo lived up to. After that when a young lady carries a bottle of carbolized rose water dangling from her belt and occasionally sponges her lips with the sweet smelling decocticn it may be taken as a signal of distress. In other words, tbo young man nny know that her osculatory microbes havo been carbolized and that fiho is longing to transmit tho bacteria that are infesting tho convolutions of her henrtlet to bis impressionable soul, where they may fructify and grow into large and healthy bacilli of affection, and produce n genuine attack of love sickness, Rut all the carbolized rose water will not discourage the Christmas girl wi h a bunch of mistletoe in her hair. Neither will tho resourceful young man be daunted. He will find some wav of getting around the carbolized mixture, although it may take him a whole evening to do it, and you may be. sure he will stay as long as the supply of rose water lasts. Young ladies will readily seo tho necessity of having a good quantity of carbolized rose water on hand. It is well to havo several gallons in the parlor in case of emergency, if a young man should bo skilfully and adroitly led up to tbo crisis where a few moro osculations would bring him to the asking point, and the sup ply of carbolized rose water should suddenly give out the consequences Constantly on hand a fine antl complete line of Drugs, Patent Medicines, j Toilet Articles, Fancy Soaps, Actions, tire, I am a graduate of the Ontario college of Pharmacy, (oy E.xan) and am preffied to fit' prescriptions, and family receives, day or ni/ht, at short notice.
