I was time keeper in a brick yard fora long time. I would like to get a good gold mine that would be sure to pay me from the start. I want one that will net me about $10,000 a year and if you sell me one I want you to guarantee me that I will: make 310,000 a year out of it. Have the mine all ready for me when I come.

To those contemplating a trip to the! British Columbia mining dis- tricts, too much cannot be said about the*bidden treasures that are to be foutid beneath the pine covered moun- tains along the Porcupine, Bear and Wild Horsecreeks. This section is only in itsinfancy. Just before the snow blocked the few trails that led into the wilderness in the fall of 1896, a ‘few prospects were opened up, and déapite' many obstacles, work was pushed, and now we have mines and not prospects. The richness of the country is now assured, und we think there will be at least 35 ship- ping mines. % >The Elise, Blue Eyed Nellie, Tamarack, Tennessee and the Parker @roups all have ore on the dump Teady to ship. '

We have a good business town, known as Quartz creek or Wild Horse. ‘Here can be found nearly all of the comforts ofa mining camp in the way ‘of hotel accommodation.
