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 safo to infer from Ministerial as- surances that in 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- vate enterprise, with the necessary stipulations as to rates, A.few days agothe Free Press re marked on adispatch sent out from 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 mioing methods, This is perhaps the most phenomenal yield ever obtained in placer inining, making the returns ten million dol lars 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.

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 neighborhood, which, he believes, will 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, O} course, 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 perfect scenery, climate and access to the real original Tom Tiddler’s ground of the universe, many parts of which hava remained, up to the present, absolutely untouched. —_.
