A mining town is universally un lers'ood by all uuiutorested outsiders to be nothing more than a oouplo of rows of log cabins with dirt roofs, mil mud and stone chimneys penetrating through its ono corner, the one street of which is generally pictured in the minds eye to bo swarming with men of nil shapes nnd sizes, ail colors nud all nationalities, dieted iu rngs and begad brimmed cow b.oy lints thrown back on their heads in the regular Buffalo 13i 11 style. And it is for ihis very reason tlmt tourists or travelers visiting Lillooet for tht first tine dre invariably taken by sur iriso at the bsauty, tho cleanliness, md the tasteful arrangement of i louses, the gaidens «i"l other tin Tbe new steamer is progressing rapidly. Planking will be com menced tbis week and she will be ready for launching in a fow weeks. Anew dredge for the Alexandria company will bo begun Monday, the timl, which makes the third built in Que-melle. A large raft was brought down tho Fraser last week. Tbe process oi stopping the careor of tbo raft or snubbing it is very interesting nnd exciting. A coil of ropo is prepared and the end thrown to a hand on tbe for tbat purpose. A post is fixed deep raft which is quickly tied to a sleeper in the bank, around which.tho coil is put and by this means the raft is slopped and hauled clo3e to the bank. The current flows about sis miles'ai'. hour. Tbo sl'ghteat mistake would moan the tut.il lo-ja of tin raft. Tbo ditch from D.agou Like to tbo North Star ground is about completed Thero is quite a stretch of tunnel through which tho water is taken. There are good prospects as the ground baa been worked bv Chinese, who bad originally made lhe tunnel twelve years ngi. Mr, Wateraon, ft celebrated and experienced engineer, is at present examining the claim. Rev. A. D, MoKinnon spent a lew- days in Soda creek, whero bo preached on Wednesday evening before a small but appreciative audience. Mr. Howsman was down from Barkerville last week on business. He speaks hopefully of his claim. Mr. Kelly was down from Barkerville and returned Saturday. Miss Mclnnes came up last stnge with a dislocated shoulder. Dr. Cut lanan soon replaced it and the young lady is doing well. Mrs. Gladwin, from Ashcroft, spent a fow days in town. Mr. Adams, M. P, P,, was up to spend a few days iu Quesnelle. A party consisting of thirty men under the guidance of Colonel Wright passed through here on the way to tbe Peace river country to prospect the rich region thero. Mr. Bell, Indian Agent, arrived here Friday and visited tbo wards of tho government. Everything was iu -rood condition and contentment rulod. Thero were lo,w grievances nnd the spirit uf self reliance ia developing. generally things arc very Nu groat Hare of start- mg "wash-ups" yet, but as tho sea* ■ion advances good things mny bo looked for. Mr, Holt nnd Mr. Burton came iu a month ago. Tho Utter went out again by same si ngo but Mr. Holt weut up to the Victoria Consolidated at Keith!/ point and after two or three days went off Bgaln. Report says that tbey bad a look nt the sluices but did nor think it worth while to inako a general clean-up just yet. Tbe works aro looking well and il the ground contains tbe gold thoy should make a good showing by aud by. Mr. Brighani, thesnperin- 'endi'n', sociiis tu know bis wny jibdu. TheriS is A "inn working oil tfs Half Mite gulch clnim of the Quoi uelle Forks Canal & Hydraulic Company and is said to be making good pay, In oue place he got equal to H pf r cubic yard and in other places bo gets a dollar or so for a matter of a oouplo of hours shoveling dirt into a sluico box. ' That South Fork district must be nob. I was told yesterday thnt a iittlo beyond the Hah" Mile gulch nnd Hose gulch somo cinnamon are working away up tbe bill with a rocker in a Urge box and are packing the water for washing from the ttie river in buckets, a distance of '200 feet or more. Suoh labor and perseverance is not being encountered without some com menburate results even by Mongolians. Vancouver is making a step in the right direction in incorporating tho School of Mines, one of whoso objects is the theoretical and practical training of men interested in or de- airing to follow the profession or catling of tbe inimiiff engineer, etc. Such a training, for which certificates of proficiency should bo given, and only such as earn thc certificate should be slidwed to praoiice as mining ongi- neors in '.be Province under penalties for which the taw should provide as a protection for both miners and tho public. Mr. McAdam came in yesterday and is looking around witli a view, when tho district requires, to bring in liis saw-mill. There are still a number of men out of employment here, capitalists not yet being on band with tho sin ews of war for whioh the men arc anxious to work. The owners of the river dredging leapes do not appear to be making a move in this immediate vicinity yet but probably when high water sub sides they may be seen.

The richest of those marvellous auriferous alluvial deposits are in the Cariboo district/i. region which, with the neighboring mines of Omineca and Cassirtr, hits yielded Oyoi' $110,000,000 in yellow trifetal since their discovery. Cariboo is yet a virgin field for the miner, thut fabulous output being the result of explorations and operations necessarily confined to tlo surfuno, .tho enormous cost and almost intfuperabio diffi- cjltit'H of transporting heavy machinery necessitating the employment of thn most primitive appliances in mining. These obstacles to tiio nil development of tho marvellously riob gold fields of Cariboo have been largely overcome by the construction of (he Canadian Pacific rttilwayt and the improvement of the great highway from that railway to northern British Columbia, witli the result that the work of development has been vigorously and extensively prosecuted. During the past two years -several costly hydraulic plants have been introduced by Different wealthy mining companies which are now operating well-known claims with most gratifying results, and there ia every prospect of a second golden h-tivest which in its immensity and value wil! completely overshadow that which mads Cariboo famous thirty years ago. Several very promising quartz bearing locations are also being developed in the Lillooet district, and as machinery capable of treating the refractory ore on the most improved methods will soon be imported, the excellent results already attained are attracting miners and mining men in large The Cariboo region and northern interior of British Columbia can only be reached by railway to Ashcroft, thence by stage. Traveling by day only Quesnelle and other points are reached iu three days, Barkerville in four, Tbe roads are excellent, and Ihc stopping places convenient. m$Lmmm*emmm.
