Tho returns nml reports from tho various gold commissioners nml min- Ins recorders nro then gtvou nml limko very intoi'ostlng rending, inorenscd nativity in mining bohig reportod from almost' ovory section of lhe province A considerable amount of space is devoted to Cariboo. Jlr. John Bowron, the goltl commissioner, in submitting his 22nd annual report states tlmt both quarto mnl placer mining have received more than usual attention during tho past season, The principle sources of the gold supply at tlio present thno are the hydraulic claims, tho profitable working or which depends on the amount of water supply obtainable undor pressure. This season being the driest over known, those claims tlmt secured a few weeks' run ouly were deemed fortunate, while many of the regular producers wero unable to clean up at all, hence the comparatively light increase in the product, considering the number of mon engaged, as compared witb other years, A largo majority of those employed were engaged iu development work on both placerandquartz claims. Detailed reference i.(i mado to the various companies operating in the district and also those in progress of development, Special mention is made of tho quartz mining nnd in referring to tlio treatment of ores by tho cyanide process by iir. Marsh, thelesseo of tlie government reduction works. Mr. Uowron says: •'Very much interest has been engendered in our quartz mines dnriug the season, presumably in consequence of tbe proof that our ores are adapted to the cyanide process of treatment which Mr. Marsh claims that lie has demonstrated boyondquos* tion. Be this ns it may, never before has so much confidence been manifested in our ledge as is evidenced in the unusual large number of locations mado." Reports made by the superintendents of Various conipaniesure also included, so that the report on Oarlboo tbis year is ono of the most, coinplet. over published. The Koithley division is reported on by Mr. W. Stephenson, miningroeorder who says lhal while (lie yield of gold for 18% diti not come up to tlio expectations, it showed u large increase ovor that of tho previous year. It states that tho California Consolidated, holding three lenses on Rose's gulch, is tlie only new company that has done any development work. The HorsofiyGold mining company (tho old Harper lease hold) he mentions as ready to start oiioratious in tlio spring, while ho explains tbat scarcity of waler compelled lhe Horsefly Hydraulic Mining company to shut down early last senson. Thc successful operation of the Cariboo Hydraulic Mining company is mentioned, the result of llio season's work", £127,000, being deemed satisfactory by tho recorder. Mr. P, Soues, gold commissioner at Lillooet, treats of his district at considerable length, paying special attention to Cayoosh creek aud the recent discoveries there, lie says speaklugof quartz mining: Much exeiloment in this class of mining lias prevailed since the location of lhe rich gold-bearing claim on Cayoosh creek, in April last, followed by tho location of several claims on Pool creek, IVtnhorton Por tage, in Juno lost, ttllogod to curry gold. silver nnd copper. 1 append sketch plans of the locations on both creeks, courteously I'uruished mo liy Mr. T Burnet, provincial land surveyor, who bus been ou the ground the greater part of tho season, nud maybe taken ns correct, and will sovvo to illustrate and locate my remarks with reference to lho claims on both creeks. Dealing first with Cayoosh creek: Tho wholo of the claims recorded on this creek during lhe past year may, with tho exception of the Ample, Whale and Gold Bugle, be dismissed with brief re f ere nt! e, as tliero has been uo development work, except of iho most. supodlcial kind, dono on any of them. I regrot to say that several of tin.' hitler class have boon sold and re-sold. Speculation of this nature is not to be desired. We have world-wide proof, il" proof were wanted, Hint it can only result in disaster loan infant industry in this district, not only to claims u\- torly worthless but also to those thai have proved their title to merit by do- volopmont. Tlie present. "Mineral Act" requires ovory one recording a mineral claim to make oath before the mining recorder that lio has found "mineral in place." Let us have value in place also proved by development!, then sale or speculation. A dosqription of iln* various claims ami tm liitoroating history of tbe dis uovoryof Cayopsh crook follow.

The following letters linve been re solved by the secretary of the public nootlug held at Ashcron on Fobrunry 12nd, also courteous lotters from Messrs. Semlin, Rogors and A.buns. Mr.Kmilhwas sick at the lime, bul Messrs. Stodthu-t, and Rogors visited department with Mr. Semlin whon the petitions were presented. The out .nno is uot yet known but there seems to be reason lo expect a favorable con- idoration of our claims, when it is romomborod that all we asked was appropriations to (he amount of 83,500 to U 1,000,-md that Ashcroft has heretofore asked for nothing, and tlmt 83,000 per year has boon tlie regular grant to Kamloops for hospital alone, and usually a similar amount to Barkerville. It seems to us very mpdost to ask such a sum for jail and jailor's residence, a new school bouse, and hospital assis-1 tanco. Certainly our claims will not bo rejected. Jas. Haddock Esq,.

Three gentlemen undertake to answer the question in the affirmative, und three will support opposite views. Bolides these, it is hoped that all the members will speak on one side or tlio other. At the close, a vote will bo taken. H is confidently expected that this debate will prove the death-blow to tyranny, whether iu autocratic or republican form. Cnim.y Cottr-J.

C.assil's. Frank La Kochdl.'. I'mly l-uuml. A dead body found floating iu lbe harbor Wednesday evening solved the mystery ns to what had become of Frank La Roohollo, who disappeared more than a mouth ago. At 6 o'clock Wednesday, a Greek fisherman named Frank-, and a young companion, saw a body floating in tho water opposite Turret rock and towing the corpse ashore, they informed tho police. Though tlio features wero unrecognizable owing to decomposition, tho clothing and othor particulars tallied with tlo description of La Kochollo. who hud been missing sine:: February 10, and whon the police lind the body taken to the morgue thoy were able still further to identify the body by moans of papers found iuthe pookots. It will be remembered that Frank La Uochellc and two companions, George Lasher and James MoKuight, oamo from Lillooet early iu February, having completed the sale of a mining property thore iu which thoy wore interested. On tbo night of February La Roohello, who with his companions, was staying at tho Oriental, was a little short of funds, though he had some SflOO in the bank at Vancouver, nnd borrowed some $30 from ono of his friends. He thou left tho hotel for tbe purpose of seeing the town. Later in the evening he was scon at the Del- nioniea and about ten o'clock he started down Yatos street towards his hotel. Since then nothing was soon of him, though a little after that time a cry was heard ;by somo ono in that direction of the harbor; that was all that was known until Wednesday evening, when thc body was found in tho harbor. A reward of &.0 was offered by his j friends for news of his whereabouts, tbe police luul the harbordrnggodcarefully aud all that could bo done was dono to find him, but without avail. It is likely that tlie body lodged against a pile or under one of the warvos till somo passing vessel disturbed tho water and it tloatod out to whero it was found.—Colonist. th" Bonaparte river If) Ashoroft are being systematically devel- 1! mon aro at present Mitehetl wlib lust inspected tlm work is well pleased will, ilie showing (mule.

Quite n number of pr'>sppi;toi-s are looking over the hills aud mouutulus near Mundort's. *2" miles from A-h- croft. Messrs, Mundorf and GllfoJl have two locations about three quarters of u mile from Mundorfs up thn Cariboo road. A large phophyry dyke runs through that section and their ledge nhows up well, being apparently fl-om 10 to 20 foot in width. Tbey hav.> as yot had no assays but are able to pan gold out of some of lhe rock, und if the average of the lclgo -.hows enough gold ami copper as may setMii probable to pay for opening up. it is likely to be a valuable property. Work was done about 'iti y.'urs ngoou a ledge in that section that assays showed averaged 810 lo 820 ia free gold. but poor judgment was shown in th« way the money for development waa expended nntl no pernumeut ledge was shown up. There seems reason tt) believe that some good quartz mines will be found between Ashcroft ami Clinton, and to the right of the Bonaparte towards Loon lako, a largo tract of country boa been ns yet entirely unexplored for quartz. Cinnibar is also likely to be lound, as enough has been found iu that section to justify such expecta tions. All in all. the outlook for quartz mines in this section is most encouraging. Et ARK El* VILLI.. Wtio Will Answer? To tlm Editor of u. c. Mining Journal. Doar Sir:-Can you or any of tho numerous readers of your valuable paper explain the theory expressed by some experts, that a "lode" dipping into a mountain to the south isinvaria- bly far richer iu mineral matter tlmn one dipping to the north. In one enso-in this section -thereis a high mountain on north slope, at face of which several mincrnl claims havo been located : in these the " lodes" dip to tho nortli. On the south slope of the same mountain are also several mineral claims, tho "lodes" on which dip to the south. A theory has been advanced, that iu the center of this mountain exists what is termed a "mother lode," and that the lodes appearing on cither side aro simply veins thrown out of the "mother." Information on these points through your valuable JoutNAi, will oblige ENQi'inEii. Lillooet, B. C, March 20th, 18117. Mr. George Ferguson an old Cariboo miner of years of practical experience, came down from Barkerville last Saturday and on Monday night gave a lecture ill the town hall ou " Prospect ing for gold in Cariboo." Tiio attendance was uot very large but those who attondod seemed satisfied. Mr. Ferguson spoke principally on placer. mnl hydraulic banks, and described the work which was done iu early days, lie advocated organized capital for tlie prospectors. Mr. Ferguson left Tups- day for Kamloops where he will give a lecture. It is his intention fo take in the Kootenay district and go around by Spokane to Victoria nnd Vancouver, and will deliver lectures llirough the country. John A.
