THE MINING JOURNAL, $2A YEAR V'lt'ner evidence of tho prevalence I of gold deposits throughout tho Omonica is afforded by tho strike just reported to havo. boon mado on Tom creek by tho Mayflower company, with which Mr. J. D. Wells, sub-1'.eoordor for the district, is connected, Mr. Wells arrived from tho north Tuesday on the Barbara Boscowitz. Por over three years Mr. Wells nud two partnors composing the Mayflower Mining Company, havo boon prospecting in Omonioa, and aftor spending ovor 83,000 tlioy Imvo they claim struck it vory rich. Mr. Wells brought down with him several rioh spocimons of tho recent finds mi Tom orook, ono u round nugget, about nn inch in dlamotor, studded aud voiuod with gold. Tom orook Is about 125 miles from Hii7.lol.on, tho head of navigation ou tho Skoona river, uud Mr. Wolla says a woll equipped parly ouu rouoh the now discovorhm in ton day*-; from this city, whilo tho diflli'iilt.ii'M in packing provisions whon the trail in roue lied is trilling. The Mayflower company staked out. most of tho orook whon the striko wiih miido, taking hi altogether ubout two miles nnd a half. Tlioy ascertained that tho pay gravel wna at least oight foot lu depth and that it isworth about lt.2T> to the pan. An experienced miner, says Mr. Wolls, can easily pan out 120 n day. Speaking further of tlm richness of tho Omonica district, Mr. Wells says that coarse gold eau bo found in many of tho small crooks emptying into tlio Nation rivor. In tho same belt in which the Mayflower company havo prospected so successfully, and .about fifty milos from Mauson creok, a mnu named Konny, of the Good Hope mino, pioked up a uugget valued at 8200. Whilo tho prospecting so far around Tom crook has boeu confined pretty much to the creek aud riverbeds. Mr. Wells says that sovoral very rich quartz locations havo been made. "Gold hunters ueod not go so far as Klondike," said Mr. Wells, "as coarse gold abounds all through the Omenica. Thanks to tho work recently douo in tbe district by tho local government we now havo an excellent trail right to tho gold fields, and whilo wo havo not yet struck anything so rich ns tho Klondike, we are not without hopes that we will before next summer." Mr. Wells leaves for Tom crook in about ten days wheu ho will take back a largo supply of provisions, and a. moro perfect outfit for thoroughly developing the company's claims.--Colouist. Food for Dawson Citv. Washington, Dec 13.—In answer to a senate resolution, calling for such information as tho war department possesses relative to tho lack of food supply on the Yukon rivor, Secretary Alger today submitted a lottor, rociting his action in sending Captaiu Ray to that country, to iuvestigato, and enclosing copies of tbat officer's report. Secretary Alger says: "It is ascertained that, since August 111, but 105 tous of provisions havo reached Dawson City by river, and that tho boats of tho two transportation companies with 2,000 tons of supplies for that place wero obliged to discharge their freight ut Port Yukon, 400 miles north of Dawson City owing to the lowuoss of tho rivor between theso two points. The population of Dawson aud its vicinity, in October of this year, will bo estimated to be not less than 5,000, nud a largo number of American citizens are reported to have insufficient food to last them through tho winter, many being absolutely destitute. The latest information from tho mining district bears the date of October 17th, when it is reported thore was not ou salo iu the Stores of Dawson, or thoso accessible to the mining region, n single pound of bacon, beans or flour, uud thoso minors who had been in the territory contiguous to Dawson depended ou tho stores thero for their usual winter's supply found it impossible to purchase any supplies whatever. It is, therefore, recommended that reindeer bo purchased in Lapland, to the number of 500, and permission granted to bring reindeer drivers from that country; this upon the information that it requires much skill to manage these animals. It is believed thut supplies taken into the Yukon country need not to ony great oxtout, bo furnished as a gratuity, but that many of tho miners will bo able to pay tho cost of suoh supplies." fon-od to in the said affidavits, and tho plaintiff by his counsel and being por soimlly present in court having himself undertaken to abide by this order unless and until the same be varied in appeal, this court doth declare that the plaintiff is a trustee of the shares standing in his namo in the books of tbecom- pauy upon the following trusts, namely; To hold tho said shares for the benefit of the defendants the Golden Cache Mines Company, limited liability, and the othor defendauts beiug all the ini'ml)its of the Golden Eagle syndicate and to' soil and dispose of the same and tho proceedsthoroof subject totho term.*1 of tho resolution of the 23td day of .inly, mint, in tho plaintiff's said affidavit set forth; and this court doth fur flier order that a certificate representing the numbor of shares now standing in tho books of the company be issued to the plaint ifi: that tho company do not dispose of the said shares oxcopt in accordance with tho terms of lhe said resolution; aud that iu the evont of tbo nogloct, or failure ofthe plaintiff to carry out the terms of thisorderso fur us he Is roquirod to do, or rofrain from doing anything that the defend nuts, tho Golden Cache Mines Compauy, liniiti'ii liability, or other of tho defendants herein, bo ut liberty to move In this action in a summary way for nn order to remove tho plaintiff as trustee; and this court doth order lastly that the costs of this action up to und including the hearing be paid out of the trust estate. Tho resolution referred to in tho de- oroo orders "100,000 fully paid up and umi assessable shares to bo handed to J. T. Carroll as trustee as between the members of the Golden Cache Syndicate and this company. The trustee is to apply the proceeds of tbe sale of such shares as maybe sold to the credit of tbe company, to be used by the directors of the said company as they may see fit, and the said trustee shall receive his instructions regarding the sale of the said shares." -lining Regulation! Being Revised. Mr. Sifton's mining regulations are being revised by a sub-committee of tho council, at Ottawa, composed of the ministers of the interior, marine, and justice. They have decided to amend the royalty regulations by exempting tho sum necessary for developing a clnim for a yoar. They also will probably abandon the alternate claim reservation scheme, und instead make tbe government reserve in blocks of ten claims. A Rough Experience. E. J. Skinner arrived from Bridge rivor Sunday accompanied by an ox- pert who has beon examining the Forty Thieves group of olaims, in that district, in which Mr. Skinner is interested. This property has a splendid showing, tho assays in gold running from 821 to 8100. On the return trip Mr. Skinner narrowly escaped a sudden death. The party was orossing a suowslide which was very icy, and Mr. Skinner slipped and slid along some distance towards the "jump-off-placo." Uo managed to save himself with a pick he carried and then the other members ofthe party cut a path in the ice to where he stood.—World.

Mr. Forest spent several weeks iu the Lillooet district this spriug uud in early days put in some timo in the Cariboo distriot. J. Menzies and Mrs. Menzies arrived in Asbcroft yesterday from Savonas. Mr. Menzies has secured the vacant store in the Johnson building and will open up iu a few days a full stock of dry goods, groceries, boots aud shoos.

Wells, mi -ing recorder and special constable of Omenica district. He says that nothing hus beeu done us yet, nor wiil anything',^ .done this winter to investigate the ui\ei*:od murder of Isaac Jones, tho prospector whom his luto partner, William Adam Gordon, now waiting trial ou tho churga of thof t at tbe provincial goal, is alleged to havo killed. Tho work of investigating tlie oircuuistutces of tlio death of Jones will bo pushed in the spring, when Mr, Wolla thinks tho body of the missing man will bo fouud, for tlio Stickine In- dlons usually find tlie bodies of men who die from starvation or exhaustion during tho winter, us soon ns tlio suow clours, Tho gonoral impression in Omonica is that Gordon has done nwuy with his partner. Hu has a bad character in thut district, and to Mr. Welts' knowledge he has on two occustsus threatened residents of that couutry with death, Wolls himself iutorforod in a quarrel ou Tom crook lust summer whon Gordon wus trying to kill an Indian,—Victoria Times, Duraiit Again Sentenced. Suu Francisco, Doc. 15 -William Henry Theodore Durrant, tho condemned murderer of Blanche Lament, was sentenced this morning by Superior Judge Bahrs for the fourth timo to suffer tho oxtremo penalty of tho law, tho date of his execution being set for January 7th next. His attorneys made a desperate effort to secure further delay and pave tho way for another appeal to the Supreme Court, but Judge Bahrs was inexorable and overruled each and everyobjeotlon mado totho proceedings.

ThoSkagway News of Dao'omber 3rd Bays: "John Hepburn, of Victoria, and Angus MoRea, of Ashoroft, B.C., arrived in Skaguay on Wednesday direct from White Horso Rapids, where Mr. Hepburn is constructing a polo tramway to obviate the necessity of shooting this perilous stretch of wator. Messrs. Hepburn uud McRcu came over White puss, making good time. In conversation with a Skaguuy News representative Mr. Hepburn stated his belief that a number of persons hud met death in White Horso Rapids. On Ootober 25th, be found a bout below the rapids bottom sido up, with every indication that it had contained a party of four of six persons. Ho believed that its occupants hud beeu drowned, and that eventually it will bo found that such is the case. He believes that many others wont to their death in the same manner lust season. The derelict found by Mr. Hepburn was of Lake Bennett build. Mr. Hop- burn states that Lako Bennett is not yot frozen over, but Tagish luko and the rivers between Tagish nnd Bounett, as well as White Horso Rapids, aro frozen hard aud fust, there uro 23 people camped at White Horse, and .'15 at the foot of Marsh lake, whilo a great many others huvo gouo to tho Hootaliuqua to prospect during the winter. He has heard of no now strikes on tho Hootaliuqua but ho believes tbat big finds will bo mado thore. Thoro aro hundreds of peoplo lu cump bolow White Horse and thero nre nt least 1,000 men scattered botwoou White Horse and Skaguuy. A fow people aro still making their wuy down tho hikes and on their way up. Messrs, Hepburn and McRea mot a woman pulling tier sled after her uud malting fair time. The Cnnadiau police huvo rendered travelers valuable assistance. Tho police authorized Mr. Hopburn to state that no person going down tho lakes would bo allowed to coutiuuo their journey unless thoy lind at least 000 pounds of food. Mr. Hepburn's tramway will bo completed by Muy 15th. Its capacity will be 100 tons evory ten hours and tho charges will bo ouo cent por pound und $10 per boat." Angus McRao, above mentioned, returned to Ashcroft this week und in a long talk with tho writer Mr. MoRao gave somo interesting details of tho present condition of thoso who succeeded iu getting ovor tbo Skagway and Chilcoot passes lust fall. Mr. Mc Raesuys men aro camped or moving along tho oountry beyond the pusses to the number of sovoral hundred, that several largo parties ure now prospect iug on tho Lewis and Hootaliuqua rivers, und that somo of them uro doing good thorough work nnd he thinks that ie of thorn uro doiug good thorough work, and ho thinks that before next spring tboro aro likely to bo good finds much nearer thnn the Klondike sec tion, us shafts aro beiug sunk on both of tho ubove mentioned streams or their tributaries. Mr. McRao says that tho Teslin lako routo will bo the favorite one for the spring traffic, that whilo It will be not at ull impossible to got ovor tho Skagway trail during lho cold weather the early spriug will soo n condition of things on the trail that is yet By Saturday night's Atlantic express 15 convlqts from tho British Columbia penitentiary woro removed to the Stpny Mountaiu Penitentiary, Manitoba, and lho Kingston Penitentiary.

As tho law prohibits tho placing of more than ono prisoner in a coll, several had to bo given quarters In the corridors, which necessitated the plaoing on duty of extra guards. Lieut-Col. Wright's Retirement. Tho announced early retirement of Lieut, Col. Wright from tho command of the l.lrd O. & C. Rifles, and tho promotion of Major Sherwood, has been oxpoctod for some timo, Col. Wright, owing to business interests iu British Columbia, considering it quite unfair to retain the command of the battalion uny longer. Major Sherwood, as second in command, has had great opportunities and most envied success—in fact, as u major, ho has established a record—It boing vory doubtful if ever in Canada before, uny officer acting for his commanding officer throughout a two yours' absence of tho latter, has brought his battalion along bo well und efficiently us ho has. Major Sherwood's advancement gives a majority to the adjutant, CaptainS. M.Rogers. "May- uard" has well earned his step, having beon in service iu the North Wost in '85, and served ns adjutant siuco 1880, Tho new adjutant has not yet been named. That Tax on Whisky. Reglna, Dec. 15.—Dr. Brett, leader of tho opposition in the Northwest legislature, euquired of tho premier regarding tbo report that Major Walsh was imposing a fee of 82 per gallon on liquor brought into the Yukon. Dr. Brett suid ho certainly bad no right to do anything of the sort. In reply, Mr. Huultnin said that wherever territorial ordinances applied thoy woro boing enforced in the Yukon. He could hardly believe that Major Walsh hnd imposed a tax on liquor. It certainly was not within his right. The only powor in this respect was undor the old ordinance of issuing permits. When tho house rose it was the in- tontion of tho government to put through an order in council providing for permits in that district, uud tho amount accruing would go to the general revenue of the territories. It was the policy of tho government to assert all its rights with regard to the Yukon, und the government will resist all attempts to disintegrate the territories.

Ottawa, Dec. 16—A warrant was issued today for the arrest of Robert Stevenson, president of the Granite Creek miningcompany, at the instance of Miss Christie, of this city, who says that Stevenson got a diamond ring from hor for seven shares in his company.

The commissioner of course dismissed the case, and commented on the extru- ordinarp conduct of the parties who laid charges and yet failed to appear to substantiate them. We do not believe tho sarcastic ami bitter articles found of late in tho Victoria Times and the Inland Sentinel regarding the getting out of a Chinese oall to Joseph Hunter to be a candidate for a Cariboo constituency ara fair or just. Tho Journal is not in Mr. Hunter's confidence, but all who know him personally believe him to be a man of Integrity and ability. If he decides to make the run for parliament in Cariboo, pit a good man against him and let tho voters judge of the merits 'or demerits of the case. The Chinese call should not be a factor. The call is a trick reprehensible and discreditable to its originators. Havo you seen the Sentinel's "map?" It is said to be a "map" of the rout*, from Kamloops to tho Canadian Yukon." We are glad the explanation accompanies tho map. It helps one to know what it is intended for. Taken all together the efforts of the Sentinel and Standard to belittle Ashcroft and the Cariboo road, they are doing something among strangers, but such trash is the laughing stock of those who know the country. Kamloops has one and one only road leading to Quesnello, but because that road leads by Cacho Croek, six miles from Ashcroft, the two papers published thero fail to notice it, nnd spend their time in building castles in tbe air about improbable if uot entirely impossible routes that many years hence may bo considered, but certainly not for many years. In our judgment it would be hotter for Kamloops to point out the fact that a good wagon road leads out by way of Savonas to Cacho Croek ahd thero joins the Cariboo road for it would bo true. Of tho various "North River" and "Bridge Creek" routes, every man, woman and child living in this section of the country knows thero are no such routes. Then why confuse the thousands that will como this way with such utter nonsense. It seems to bens tho Kamloops man said to an Ashcroft man whom he mistook for a Victorian in Victoria last wook. "We aro not against your coast routes, we are tryiugto knock out Ashcroft." Prosperity for Ashcroft will help Kamloops also. Why try to mislead and bewilder the strangers who will soon bo moving down upon u. by thousands, with theoretical and yet to bo made roads und trails?

Victoria Times: In view of tho coming events which uro casting their shadows beforo, both in tho political uud commercial arenas, it is of very great importance that all the preliminary arrangements to meet the approaching crisis should bo made without delay. On tho political sido of the question nothing can bo of moro importance just now thau tho registration of voters. Thoro is going to be a Btrugglej several mouioutous questions aro to bo settled beforo long, and no stone is to bo loft unturned thut will in any way aid. Now is the Umo for all voters to soo that thoir names uro properly ou the roll: thoso who have uot attended to this duty should do so at once. This is a matter which is too often neglected on tho ground thut ouo vote more or less does not mutter. But suppose everybody snid that: what a flno thing thing it would bo for the unscrupulous graspers of the reins of power. Somebody must, in the present stngo of human progress, guide, rule, direct; whou a people become cureless of their voting privileges tbo guiding will bo dono by selfish men, tho ruling by tyrants, und the directing by persons who hnvo dedicated themselves to the advancement, further glory uud uggruudisemont of Num ber One. Every muu who hus the right to voto owes it to himself, to his neighbor, to the couutry, to tako pains to see that his name is upon tho register; nnd when tho timo comes to use that vote to do so like a man, giving it to tho side ho sees bost deserves it. Therefore, see to it, voters, that you get your rights and have your names registered; there will bo need for every one of thoso votes ere long, for thoro is warm work ahead. Iu regard to tho provincial government wo might appropriately employ tho figure of seamanship iu discussing it, us it spoms to bo a "trade wind" that is goiug to strike the province soon. When the favoriuggalo fills our sails aud tho ship begins to move it will require tbe best of seamanship to enuble hor to travel us she should. Tho voters must signify whether they consider tho Tumor government political master mariners who can bo trusted und retained, or whether thoy are incompetent lund-lubbe.'s, uu- ablo to do anything pertaining to political navigation but box tlio compass of self-interest, and who should be paid olf and replaced at tho first port. Wo ooiitoiid they are tho latter, uud we refer to their log, which shows a long list of collisions, groundings, ship on her beam ends through lubber steering, shoal water too often, takiug wrong chuuuel repeatedly, crew in mutiny against contradictory orders, look-out mon asleep on duty, irregular watches, lying-to in fair winds uud aimless beating up to windward in foul weather. Theso officers must bo cashiered as sooa as possible, for their certificates ure hovo-down uud shown to bo spurious documents. Tho work of relegating them to tho safety of useful obscurity and ro-urrai.ging tho whole crow lies with the owners—tho voters. Mrs. McKinley Demi. Canton, Dec. 12, -Mrs. Nancy Allison MoKluloy, tho aged mother of tho president, died shortly after "_ o'clock this morning. Almost two weeks hnd elapsed since tbe stroke of porulysis, which was at once pronounced fatal, uud tho wonderful vitality which hud kept death ut buy so loug hud deluded tho friends aud relatives into tho belief that tho aged woman might, perhaps, recover, despite tho verdict of her physicians. But unmistakable signs of approaching dissolution were seen eurly yesterday morning aud at nightfall it was evident that death must come beforo morning. The demise of Mrs. McKinley was painless. All night long tho members of tho family wero watching and watting for tlie time of dissolution. From 11 o'clock until the timo of lho death, tho McKinley houso was quiet and shrouded in a stilluess that was suggestive of tho mournful scones within its walls. No response could be obtained by messengers or reporters who sought in vain for news. Shortly beforo midnight tho attendants discovered what wns thought to he certain signs uf dissolution. Thc fact was communicated totho inmates of the household, who had gono to tlieir rooms, but had nut retired fur tho night.

TllO MlNINCI .lOL'UNAL IS iuifiCOlpt of limny letters ami telegrams of iuqulry I'egardibg tlio overland routo to Tosliu Lako from Ashoroft. This avticlo , is published so that a copy of tho Mining Journal sent in reply will answer the majority of tho inquiries. Thoso wishing detailed Information from week to wook cmi find it hy reading tho paper regularly. 1st. Ashcroft is ou tho railroad liuo 202 miles east of Vancouver, tho terminus of tlio Canadian Pacific Railway. 2nd. From Ashcroft to Quosuollo, 220 milos, there is a first-class wagon road, open tho year round, and at Quesnelle thoro is it ferry on which the Fraser river can bo crossed. An overland trail lends from there to Hazleton, tho distance beiug 327 miles according to tho last roport from J. D. Devereaux, representative of the Mining Joi'hnal who is now iu the Held and is a good trail. From Hazleton to Telegraph Creek, on the Stiokiue river, tho trail has not been vory much usoil of late yours, but is passable, and the government hits promised to havo it put in llrsl. class Mlmpe early lu the spring. Tho distanco from Uazlotou to Tolograph Crook Is said to bo 210 milos by tbo old Dense Luko trail, and siiinewlitit slimier by a out'-off trnil I'Yoni Ti'legrnph Creek to TOBllu Lako It is 135 milos over u good trail. Tho total disllUlOO from Quesnelle, where the iiverliim! trail begins, Is Lliorofbt* tibouli 702 miles. These llguros tiro nc given ns absolute, Imt approximate. You enn ibivvo Ashcron, about April Willi to Mny 1st, on glass, anil leave Quosuollo Mny lsl, but you tuny require, if loftvlng lliis early, In paok a small supply of nuts for lhe Ilrst. few dnys nrier leaving Quesnelle. ;lnl. The trail Ib good Irnm Ashcroft to Teslin Luke. A few days KCtor leaving Quesnello there is a great almn- diince of ln'iivine anil blue joint, making splendid food for stock. Lumber can be had at Teslin Lako for boats and the trip down Teslin Lake ami tho llootnlinqiia river to Dawson is easy. The only rapids nl'any account is lho Five Finger rapids of the Yukon, which can bo run by any boatmen with safely. There arc hundreds of miles of uuoxplored ground near the over- laud trail known to be rich. Mines of groat valuo will bo found in this partially unexplored section, and as it is in British Columbia, whero laws are enforced aud there is no reservation of alternate claims, thero is no royalty as iu the Northwest Territory. Tho Hue between British Columbia and the Northwest Territory is the 60th degree, crossing the north end of Toslin Lake. Horses aud outfits can be bought at any part of the Cariboo rond from Ashcroft to Quesnelle. For detailed information regarding prices write to the advertisers iu this paper. Game is fouud iu fair quantities, aud fish in every lako aud stream in abundance B'lies and mosquitoes are troublesome for a few weeks. Horses cost from Slo to &10.each. A magazine will bo issued by the Minino Journal as soou as tho report of ils special correspondent Surveyor J. D. Devereaux, who is now mapping tho trail, is receivod. It is hoped that this information will be received so that thc book and map eau be issued early iu December. The illustrations arc now being engraved in Chicago. "Oi ] 1 Mon ■toBi'l Small Boats On The Yukon. Tho waterways furnish one of tho principal menus of travel aud transportation throughout the greatnorth- wost territory and tho Yukou region and thoso are generally free from Ice ouly throe or four mouths of the year. The rest of the time the traveler must uso dog teams aud sleds. Supplies aro therefore brought iu during tho summer when the streams flow. In moving about from place to placo uud going up the rivers and creeks ou prospecting trips the minors and prospectors must use boats aud canoes. Boats aro preferred, because provisions, tools, etc, maybe carried. For tlieso reasous miners along tho Yukon aud its tributaries must have moro or less boating to do, aud havo to learn to build, repair', paddle, pole, row aud load boats. Nineteen out of twentv who go iuto that country kuow littlo or nothing of boating, aud do uot kuow the difference botween the gunwale and tho garboard strako. They do not know how to stop a leak or put on a patch properly, much less build a wholo boat, Fow, if any, know how to placo tho load in a boat so it will keep her in tho proper trim, and make her safe,, or how to steer to keep her away from tho beach, while others aro "tracking" with a tow ropo along tho bank. Kvery mau who lias tho opportunity should try to loarn something nbout building, ropairiug and handling a boat. Tho boats used ou the Yukon aro sharp at both ends, ^itlt bottomed, with wide, flaring 8if'ies liud much like an ordinary Sherman's dory, except that there \rA no ni,^,., A perfectly dry boat, Iop^ *,« a rnvity 0n tho Yukon river; l>_10y aU lo|lk moro ol. less, which 1st.

Nelson R« A Now York wrii ques Cartior Squan stands a monument greatest naval horo, annihilated tho co France and Spain at 1805, and died amid his mightiest victory, Tbis monument has beon au offensive reminder to the Fronch-Canadians for mauy years, and, consequently, has beeu allowed to fall iuto vory bad repair. Au attempt was made to blow it up at ono time, and tho gaping crevices aud shattered stones have uovor been restor3d, as the English had no desire to fan to life the slumbering French-Canadian prejudice. No tribute of respect, uor attempt to protect It from vandalism, has boen mudo by tho Montreal authorities for years, and uot until tho last anniversary, in the past month, has Nelson's memory boon recognized by decorating the Jacques Cartior Square monument. Tho Army and Navy Veteran Association this year imitated the custom prevalent at tho Trafalgar Hqimri-i monument at Montreal with four Hags, ono of a royal standard, entwined with the tii color of Franco, tho two others boing Union Jacks, abovo which was hung a wreath of white lm- mortoltoB] while at thn lui.se was u lingo bouquet of oui'UUtlous, cluysantlie iiiuns, asters and ferns."

Judge Morrow rendered his decision at Sau Frr.ncisco last Monday in the United States circuit court relative to tbo petition for disbarment against Attorney John Boone, accused of unprofessional prrctice in the Bowers dredgor case. He decided in favor of the petition, disbarring Boone forever from practice in the federal courts. Florence Blytbe H. Hinkley has won a most important victory in tho San Francisco federal courts, and her rights to tho vast property she has bo long struggled for In the courts havo been fully sustained. United States Circuit Judge* Morrow delivered an opinion reversing adecreo made somo months ago adverse to Mrs. Hiuckloy, and going ono stop further, impreguahly establishes her in full possession ol' tlie Blythe millions "by nonsuiting t ho contestants to her property.

Miss Hamilton, who has boen visiting Mrs. Dodd at Stauley for some time arrivod down last Saturday evouiug accompauied by Mrs. Dodd and aftor visiting friends iu Ashcroft continued on their way to Culiforuia, whero they will spoud tho winter. A very ploasaut party of Ashoroft young people spout Thursday evening at the Perry ranch visiting Mr. and Mrs. Sheppard and Mr. and Mrs, George Bluir. Two sleigh loads left Ashcroft shortly uf ter 6 o'clock, returning shortly after midnight, Mr. nnd Mrs. H, P. Lewis, the latter of whom has beeu keeping bouse for Mrs. F. S. Reynolds during her absence, returned to their former boarding house, Mrs. Jumes Newlaud's, Thursday. Mrs. Reynolds' thanks are duo Mrs. Lewis for her kindness. Miss L. Wurdell and Mrs. H. P.

Both ladies arc experienced in the dressmaking business uud will bo ublo to fill any orders intrusted to thorn. Miss Wardell is well known iu Ashcroft and vicinity aud will no doubt receive good patronage from her many friends. Last Friday ovening tho children of the public school guthorod at tho rest denco of Mrs. James Nowland, the occasion being the presentation of an ad- dross aud a set oE poems and travelling caso to thoir teacher, Mr. David Anderson, who was leaving for a visit to his homo in Westminster. Mr. Anderson has been in vory poor health for some time aud it is hoped by his many friends in Asbcroft that he will have speody recovery, "Ovorlund to Klondike," through Cariboo, Omonica and Casslar, a page pamphlet, will bo sent out within a fow days from this office. It is nicely illustrated and will give satisfaction to thoso interested iu forwarding the Interest of tho overland route. Several thousand copies have been ordered by each of tbo dlfferout railroad lines interested, aud thc book will have wide circtilatiou. Tho engravings wero expensive und took tlmo, and have in fact accounted for the delay in getting out the work. Those who wish to order a numbor of hundred will be furnished them at cost. Tbo cost will be made known soon. All advertisers will ccoivo copies within a few days. A Cariboo correspondent of the Vancouver Nows-Advortisor writes: Tho want of a telegraph or tolephone line between tho 100-Mile Hom.0 aud the Forks cf Quesnello is much felt by llioso interested lu tho various mining companies around tho Forks. Anyone wishing lo communicate rapidly with tbo latter placo can uso the telegraph to the 160-Mile Houso, but from this point a message can only bo transmitted by mail oneo a week to the Forks, occasiouully a dolay in transmission of nearly -18 hours, as the message only reaches Big Lake, 24 miles, tbo following duy, and Is delivered at tho Forks, 82 milos further on, tho uext afternoon. For this delay in tbe journey, bud roads aro responsible. Unless tho message happens to hit off even, n sp:cial messenger, at a cost of 826 for tho trip, hus to be engaged, It seems hardly credible that in so important a section of Cariboo, where vory largo sums oE money .are being expouded, and most important works aro in progress, such a state of things can oxist. A speody romody could be fouud cither by extending the tolegraph lino or by laying a telephone lino from tho 150-Mile Houso. If tho latter project, provincial assistance should be forthcoming.
