The feeling in the west has halted between government coustruction and government cuntrol of the Crow's Nest Pass, says the Winnipeg Free Press. The people have been saying that if left to a company, without binding conditions that will bind, there would be no preventing rates which would give the business of Southern British" Columbia to Canadians. It is safe to infer from Minieterial as- aurances that iu the matter of freight rates the interests of the west will be fully protected. This much has been declared over and over again, and there need be no hesitation in accept- ing it, The manner of doing it is the duty of government apd parliament, who will be asked to furnish assistance. The road may poesibly be left to pri- ii es and fully inf d of the character of there two gentlemen, we are satisfied that they will embrace opportunity and that any intcrest they may have in the construction of arailway through the Crow's Nest Paes will have for its primary object the advancement of interests of Brit- ish Columbia and the extension of the trade to Canada. —~—.—_. CARIBOO PLACERS. The Enortaous Amount Taken From Williams Creek. Although fifty or sixty million dol- lars worth of gold has been taken out from the Cariboo placers, it is gen- erally regarded as but a fractional part of what remains to be recovered. The district occupies a large portion of the province of British Columbia. Williams creek, two miles-long,and, say, having an average -of 50 feet in width, of old channel, produced some $20,000,000 in gold since it was opened in 1861. Much of the gold was taken out by primitive mining methode, This is perhaps the most phenomenal yield ever obtained in placer inining, making the returns ten million dol lure to the mile of bed worked. With the improved apparatus now being introduced, Williams creek will prob- ably yield $25,000,000 more. Baker- ville ison the stream.

John B, Hobson, a mining enginecr of 25 vears’ experience in California, says that he has seen in the Cariboo and Lillooet districts three times the amount of gold gravel that is known to exist in the state of California. es GREAT MINING CENTRE. Col. F. W. North, the Famous En- gineer, Talks of the Kootenay. The Colonies and India, published in London, Eng., has the following to say of the recent visit to the Koote- nay of Col, F. W. North, the renowned mining expert. In August of the present year Mr. North was invited to visit British Co- lumbia, and,geing by way of Spokane, United States, he made his head- quarters at Rossland, West Kootenay, shortly after the railway line had been extended there. After care- fully examining Rossland and its be a great mining centre in the future, he declares the development of the province to be in a specially forward state and ripe for further railway extension. High-grade ore, 0} courae, pays, but additional tram- Ways and smelters will further at an early date provide a profit even on the lower-grade ores. Bgain, the Slocan district, lying between the Slocan and Kootenay lakes, with its centre at Sandon, will before very long yield marvelous returns in silver, a metal which would pay to produce even at the low price of 1s 6d per ounce. Mr. North’s advice, in short, is not to see Naples and die. but to go to British Columbia and take a fill of the real original Tom Tiddler’s ground of the universe, many parts of which hava remained, up to the present, at d. vate enterprise, with the y ipulations as to rates A.few daysagothe Free Press re marked on a dispatch sent out from Montreal to the effect that Senator Cox and Mr. Jaffray, of Toronto, had secured control of a British Columbia charter that had to do with the Crow’s Nest Pass. g-When the Globe said that these gentlemen had not taken over the charter of the British Columbia Southern railway, we ac- cepted ite statement of the fact and lified our’ lingly.
