PREFACE.
In issuing this, the first volume of the new British Columbia Directory, all
possible means have been employed to insure its accuracy a 'd to . ^^eavour to
meet the requirements of the Business man, the Professional mttii , >/>'^ . Artisan,
as well as to afford the general reader a thorough knowledge of the country.
The work has been compiled entirely trom new and original manuscript, writ-
ten up to the latest date by gentlemen who have lived many years in the country
and who are, in every way, familiar with its capabilities and great natural wealth.
The necessity for a publication of this kind (and the Map which accompanies
it) has become more urgent during the last three or four years than at any other
time in the history of the Province, in consequence of the steadily increasing pros-
perity that is now enjoyed, by this, the most western portion of the Dominion of
Canada. ' . /
The Publisher returns his sincere thanks to a number of gentlemen who have
always been ready to assist in promoting the interests of this work.

VICTORIA CITY— DESCRIPTIVE.
e
VICTORIA-DESCRIPTIVE.
The Capital and seat of Oovernmeut of Britiah Oolumhia, ia aitnated on the
■outh-eaatern extremity of Vancouver lalund. in lat. iH dpR. 26 uiin. 20 aeo
north, and weat long. 123 deK- 22 niin. 24 aec, oornpyin^;, with the adjacent bur)>or
of Eaqiiiinalt, a poaition of prominent importance, an well for preaent local needa.
aa for the requirements of the future oo iimerce of tho P.iciflo Briefly it may be
atated that, diatant about 750 geographical milea from Sivu Franoiaoo, in Galiforuiit,
and about 30 from Fort Townaend, the port of entry of Wuahington Territory, ita
home porta are on all aidea aooeaaible aa far aa the Alaakan boundary, in lat 64 deg.
40 min. Thna New Weatminater, aituated on Fraaer river (and which ia alao a
port ot entry) is diatant only about 70 milea, or 6 hours paasaote of steamer
Nanaimo, another port of entry, is nearly equidistant; while there are other ata-
tiona of delivery along the coast which, it is needless to specify, are within varying
distances. The fact of its being the first available sea-port north of Ban Francisco,
apon the north-west coast, confers necessarily upon Victoria and ita allied harbor
of Esqnimalt, an importance which cannot easily be over-rated.
The harbor of Victoria itself is not onpHble, at present, of accommodating
vessels drawing more than 18 (eighteen) feet of water; but dredging operationa
are in progresa, under the care of the Federal Oovernment of the Dominion, which
will increase the present capacity; while the adjacent and aupplementary har-
bor of Esquimau is constantly available, where ships of any burden can at all
times freely enter and diacharge. An excellent macadamized road, upon which
stages mn regularly, connects Victoria with Esquimalt; there is also telephonic
communication. Westward to Sooke, and northward to Saanich, are excellent roads>
graded throughout, and a drive in either direstion. through charming scenery, can
readily be undertaken with the certainty of enjoyment.
As one gazes Southward, across the Strait of Fuca, towards the range extending
seaward from mount Olympus in Washington Territory, manifold beauties come into
view at every torn.
Among the many advantages Victoria can boast of, not the least ia, that the
sportsman can within easy distance from the city roam over undulating downs, and
grassy hills, enriched by the most romantic scenery, and fill his bag with quail,
snipe, and grouse, or bring to earth the bounding deer. Anglers can, upon the placid
bosom of the numerous lakes near by hook— amongst other fish— the lively trout, and
in the hays of the sea the wily salmon, with which the waters are at all seasons stored.
Contiguous to the city boundary, on the south eastern side, is the Public
Park, a spacious tract of great natural beauty. The view from here,
looking towards the American side, cannot be surpassed. The placid waters
of the Strait, on which swift steamers may be seen passing on their way
to New Westminster, Tale and other ports of the Province, viewed together
with the snow-oapped scenery of the Olympian range, is charming in the extreme.
In the centre rises, with a gentle slope, the knoll known as "Beacon Hill," from
the oircamstanoe of its having in the early days, been surmounted by a signal post
which served to indicate the entrance to the harbor. Around this eminence a race-
course is laid out, where some well-contested matches occasionally take place. And

pleaaareH of foot-ball and the faToriti* Caniidian game of La OroiM.
Within a distance of about two milew from the city ii an attractive and beautiful
■pot called the "Oorge," an inlet from the harbor. Thia han been Hooft(>u descritied
thot it i* almost snperrtuouH to rtpeak of ita natural beautiea. Visitora to Victoria, and
Victoriana themaelvea thoroughly enjoy the boating and other charming attractions,
which the Arm and the Oorge afTord, and no one can visit thia beautiful apot with
other than feelinga of rapture. This, however, is but one among the number of at-
tractive HCfUea which invite the touriat'a att<-iitinn;and, asexcuraiona an* extt-nded in
various directions, fresh beauties present themselves to gratify the visitor who, lient
on rcvrtutiou, or in quest of health, may sojourn for a while in Victoria and its neigh-
borhood.
From various eminenoen, notably in the vicinity of the residence c f the Lieut.
Oovernor, BlaoVhard Avenue, Honpital Hill, Head of Pandora Avenue Chuich Hill,
and from Mt Tolmie, (a delightful walk ot aliout a couple of miles) the eye ia en-
chanted with the piutureaqueueas of the InndMcape. and the pretty houses emitowered
in ivv. honey-suckle, and other lovely creeping plants, and neatly trimmed lawua.
Tiie Oovernment buildings, five in number, built of red brick, and of Bwiaa atyle
of architecture, are located unon a neck of land, accessible by a substantial bridge
acrosa Jamea Bay ; and viewed from Oovernment street have a decidedly pretty effect,
with their well kept lawn and choice evergreen trees. Here are the Provincial Offl-
cea. At the foot of the lawn ia a grey granite obelisk, ereoter 7 the people, to the
memory of the lamented Sir Jamea Douglas, K. G. B., the f ^vernor, and Com-
mander in chief, from 1851 to 1864. In front of the Oovernn ildinga the Royal
Navy Band occasaionally favors the public with a selection of sweet music, enliven-
ing a large number of the residents of all olaasea who attend.
The Dominion. BaildingB ore well and solidly constructed, containing accommo-
dation for the varioua federal ofSoers. Among these are comprised the Oustom
House, the Post Office, and the llarine Hospital.
Moat of tho buainesa portion of the city is well built of stone and brick : many
of the buildings displaying considerable taste and architectural skill. The
private dwellings ore nearly all wooden structures many of which are aor-
roanded by thrifty orchards containing the apple, pear, plum, cherry, oar-
rant, raspberry and gooseberry, growing to perfection : and inland may be found
the apricot and peach; while the gardens, adorned with luxuriant shrubbery and
prolific with many well known flowers, attest the generally diffused taste for horti-
culture in its most attractive form.
On the opposite side of- the harbor from the city, and comprising an
extensive area of land, is an Indian Beservation, allotted to, and occupied by, a con-
siderable portion of the Songhish tribe. This is, indeed, the ancient capital of these
people, their chief dwelling-place from time immemorial. It is neediess to say that
a great barrier to the extension of the city in what would otherwise be a favorite
and much coveted direction, is thus established. The legal rights of the natives
to the possession of this locality are necessarily respected, and they cling with
much tenacity to their ancestral home. A strong attempt was made by the late
Joint Commission (appointed in 1876 to define the boondariesof Indian reservations
in the Province) to indaee the Indians to remove to some other place in the neigh-

VICTORIA CITY — GENERAL PROGRESS.

VICTORIA CITY-GENERAL PROGRESS:
The City was iucorporated in 1862. The oensns of 1881 retnrns a population of
nearly 7,000, exoluslTe of Indians.
The Winter population is increased about 1000, in addition to the above number
by the arrival from the mines, fisheries and public works, of n:.en employed in
those various industries. This shows an increase of nearly double the population
since the last Directory was published in 1877*. There has been marked progress,
during the years 1881, 1882 This is seen in the increased telegraphic and telephon-
ic communication, and great improvement in the streets. The seal, fur trade, sal-
mon canning, fish, fish oil, and lumber trades, have been vastly developed, and are
now assuming gigantic proportions. The harbors of Victoria and Esquimalt, are
thronged with shipping, to an extent unknown before The salubrity of the climate,
the manifold beauties of Victoria and its surroundings, together ^ith the excellence
and cheapness of its hotels, are attracting a large, and increasing ^.umber of visitors.
During the past year several handsome stores, with extensive wharf front-
ages have been erected on Wharf street, and throughout the whole of the city and
suburbs, signs of substantial progress are everywhere observable in stores, ware-
houses, and dwelling houses, which have lately been completed, whilst many others
are approaching completion. The following are a few of th<) many* new buildings
which have been erected.
BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS.
Since the issue of the last British Columbia Directory there has been a marked
improvement.
The Post office has been enlarged, a new and handsome front erected, and most
convenient and commodious appartments provided for the Telegraph Office and
Dominion Savings Bank.
The City Hall, a large and substantial brick building, has been built at a cost of
$17,000; it contains every accommodation for Police Court, and Municipal Affairs.
The new Fire Engine House, next the City Hall, and the Masonic Temple
will compare '^vorably with similar buildings on any part of the Pacific Coast.
The Odd Fellows Hall, in Douglas street, is one of the most substantial build-
ings in the city, containing Lodge rooms above, and two excellent stores on the
ground floor.
Mr. James Fell, has very greatly improved the appearance of Fort street, by the
erection of a handsome block of brick buildings two stories high, occupied as stores
below, and furniture factory above.
Valuable improvements have been made in Government street, especially in the
establishment of new dry goods, and other stores.
Moody Hall, a two story brick building, at the comer of Broad and Tates
streets; on the ground floor there are three commodious stores, and on the second
story, a large Hall and four handsome rooms used as offices.

VICTORIA DISTRICT.
Ita area is about twenty^Mven aqaare mileB. which if it were populated in
proportion to its space would admit comfortably fifty thousand inhabitants.
It is bounded on the South and East by Haro Straits, on the West by Victoria
Arm, an inlet from the harbor, and on the North by Lake district. There is a uni-
formity in the nature of the soil, which ia principally black loam, with a clay sub-
soil, and as the Autumn advances, the cnltiTated fields usually present the picture of
a generous harvest.
To those who are not blind to the scenes, which in every phase present them-
selves, they will be induced to climb the adjacent hills, and look down upon the
promising crops of wheat, oats, barley, potatoes and other bulbous vegetables. From
these elevations they will see at intervals scattered through the valleys, comfortable
looking farm houses, well stocked with choice breeds of homed cattle and herds of
the erratic southdown sheep dotting the plains and hillsides.
The drives to the di£ferent bays, to Saanich, Bnmside, Gedar Hill, and along
the Arm, are a source of perpetual delight and the macadamized roads give a zest to
the enchanting scenery. At one time rattling through acres of oak openings, and at
another embowered among the shady glens of pine and fir. There are five bays
in this district, along the Eastern shore, viz : Foul, Shoal, Oak, Gadboro, and Tele-
graph. Each of these has a variety of attractions.
The favorite among them is Gadboro Bay, which has held its supremacy for
many years, as the most convenient and enjoyable resort, for pleasure seekers. The
wide expanse of sea beach is so gradual in its slope, as to appear almost level at low
tide. During the day the basking rays of the sun upon the sand nicely tempers the
water as the flood tide creeps over it, making it a most desirable bathing place. If
ever a spot on earth, by nature were fixed for a delightful residence at all seasons of
the year, with the usual comforts of a home, echo would answer, Gadboro Bay.
The dense foliage of the maple trees, the pleasant aroma of the wild
flowery spinea and syringa in their season, the cool springs which ooze through
the earth in their different channels, with an endless amount of water cross drink-
ing their purity; the very primitiveness of the acqueducts is a charm, and in keep-
ing with the surroundings. The climate is mild in this neighborhood, being tem-
pered by the sea air, and sheltered from the prevailing winds.
On this account the bay presents more the appearance of a placid lake than
an inlet from the sea. The scene is daily enlivene<? by the variety of vessels, of all
classes crossing its mouth, en route either to or from the East coast or mainland.
At the annual Agrioaltnral Exhibition the farmers of Gadboro Bay are conspi-
cuous in their contributions of vegetables of a Mammoth growth. The agricultural
show fair grounds and driving park are in this vicinity. Most tempting sites for
country villas are to be seen along this route.
On the highlands are to be found the more sturdy growth of pine, oak
and arbutus; the lowlands, ravines and brooklets, the cedar, fir, maple, alder
and willow, form their medley of companionship, with an occasional wild honey-
suckle to entwine them, as if they were of one fraternity . This district is possessed
of a church and a healthy school system, in oomformity with the neighboring ones.

and it becomes quite optional ^rith the reRidenta to choose between the country or
town, for either one or the other, the distance being not so great.
The demolition of the forest in every direction ; the smouldering fires to be
seen at night, among the big pine trees ; the large burns, already bursting with
their autumn crops ; the exposed haystacks, the newly fenced clearings under cul-
tivation ; the tidy farm houses, with their fruit, flower and vegetable gardens ; all
these signs are indications of a growing thrift among the farmers of this section of
Vancouver Island.

It is situated due North of the city of Victoria, and contains some 38,500 acres, with
about 200 settlers, who own farms, varying from 50 to 1000 acres.
Surrounded on three sides by the Strait of Haro, Satellite Channel, and the
Saanich Inlet, giving ready access by water, indented with creeks and bays, and its
shores protected from storms by the Islands on the East, Salt Spring on the North,
and Gowichan on the West, with excellent soil and a mild cliu.:'te, it would seem
especially adapted by nature, for a large and thriving community.
SoUi. — Its soil, as is the case in Vancouver Island geuernll;', and in fact
throughout the Pacific coast, varies considerably. There is a certain proportion of
rocky declivities, scarcely deserving the name of hills, which are of little use save for
grazing purposes, but the soil in the extensive valleys and prairies is, as a rule, of
a rich black loam, varying in depth from 8 inches to 2 feet. Clay is found to a large
extent throughout the peninsula. The soil near the coast is much composed of lime
and all kinds of shell detritus, which is a valuable fertilizer for the garden and
orchard.
The peninsula comprises the Dihtricts of North and South Saanich and Lake,
which, together with other suburban localities, unite in forming the Electoral Divi-
sion of Victoria District.
LAKE
Commences about three miles from Victoria anl includes Elk, Beaver, Prospect, and
Maltby lakes, from whence it derives its name. Its products are similar to those
of its northern neighbors, while the soil, timber, and general characteristics resem-
ble them greatly. The waters are the resort during the summer of many followers
of the piscatorial art, while Elk and Beaver Lakes form the reservoir from which the
requirements of Victoria are supplied. In addition to this, hundreds of cords of fire-
wood, both fir and oak, go annually to fill the demands of the city mart.
The District possesses a neat and commodious public school, which is well at-
tended by the children, and highly appreciated h^ the parents. Two excellent ho-
tels provide accommodation for visitors and are situated within easy reach of the
city, the lakes, and shooting grounds. The religious requirements of the settlers are
attended to by missionaries from the city, both Episcopalian and others, and the
HAANIOH PENINSULA.

SAANICH.
SiANicH Pbopbb, Oimbkai. Viiw.— This District divided into North and South,
reoeived ita name from the aborigines, and extends from Lake to the extreme limit
of the peninsnla. The country is thickly wooded, in many parts, but the lowlands
abound in park-like glades. A ridge of hills runs due North for a distance of some
5 miles, when it abruptly terminates, opening out into an extensive valley, which
oommenoea close to the West coast, traverses the peninsula, and, on nearing the
opposite side divii es, meeting another flat extent which approaches it from the
South. A further range of hills takes its rise to the North again, and stretches in
a N E direction for some 2% miles, until it reaches the sea, after which the general
aspect is level. The water-shed is East and West. Two ntreams find their outlet
in the sea on either coast, they are not however of any great size. A considerable
fall exists on the West coast, where a third stream which waters the central valley,
reaches the Saanich Inlet. A site for a water-mill could probably be obtained in
this locality.
Goal.— Indications have been found in several parts of North Saanioh that
coal of a superior quality traverses the whole sub-surface of that portion of the Dis-
trict. No work has however yet been undertaken. Herein is a prosperousindustry
to be developed by capital, which may attain enormous proportions.
TiMBBB. — The forests abound in fir, maple, oak, dog-wood, alder, Ac, jco.
Cedar grows scattered among the pine-ridges, and has been so extensively used al-
ready for fencing and roofing, that it is now becoming somewhat scarce. Crab-apple
is common in swampy places, but 'attains to no great htight, cotton wood is also
not unoommon. The arbutus is to be found almost everywhere and attains to a
considerable size. Shrubs, berries, and wild flowers are plentiful Also blackberry,
salmonberry, sni-lal, huckleberry, Oregon grape, wild strawberry, gooseberry, &c..
The cranberry abounds in marshes, while for grasses there are the sweet grass,
reed-mcadow, bent spear, white clover, wild«oats, broad-leaved rush, cowslip, Ac.
WiiiD Animals. — Saanich peninsula has lost some of the denizens of her for-
ests, since the white man began to clear himself a home . The elk is gone, the bear
is very seldom to be seen, but the blaok-talled deer can Ite met with in fair abund-
ance. *
Oahb.— Grouse of various kinds are plentiful, especially among the hilis,
and quail numerous the last are not native, but have increased wonderfully since
their introduction to this part of the coast. Wild-geese and ducks are also plentiful
and snipe and pigeons occasionally to be seen. Plumage birds have increased very
fast as the country has become opened up. the valleys and prairies, formerly so sil-
ent, are now melodious with the music of the feathered tribe. The gay humming
bird is also common amid the gardens around the homesteads.
The few streams do not, owing to their small size produce much fish; trout
are however to be found, and in places some very fair sport can be bad. Along the
coast, and particularly in the waters of the arm which separates the peninsula from
Cowichan, sea-flsh abound. At various periods of the year, from early Spring until
the close of summer salmon literally swarm; these are caught by the Indians, and
dried and smoked for winter food . Halibut, cod, and herrings are plentiful, and
oysters and crabs not difficult to procure.

in Europe and the United States are not to be found, and with ordinary foresight,
the farmer onn be certain of a plentiful return.

Buckwheat, rye, &c., are rained in smaller qnantitieH. Hops thrive well, and
are cnltiTated for consumption, chiefly in the Victoria breweriea, a small proportion
being exported.
FBtm TBRia. — Ml t'eacriptiona of fruit come to perfection. There ia no rea-
son why the canning oi app' *a, peara, peachea, plums, nectarines, apricots, Ac,
should not in course ot time become one of the moat remunerative of the local in-
dustries .
AoHiocLTUBAL SooiKTT . — The farmers of Saauich established some 13 years
ago an Agricultural Society, which now possesses 4 acres of Innd and the largest
building on the Island used for such purposes. Here takes place the Annual Show,
in which there is an amicable competition in local produce, stock, manufactures, Ac,
attracting visitora from all adjacent parte.
The Provincial Exhibitiona of the Dominion have already beatowed well-
denerved honors upon Saanich produce. Higher atiil, however, baa the Diatrict
aspired, and with success, the recent Universal Exhibition of Paris having awarded
a gold medal diploma to a farmer of Saanich for the best sample of wheat. This
proves beyond a doubt what are the agricultural capabilities of the peninsula.
Stock.— Animals of all kinds are raised with facility, the usually mild win.
ters being well adapted for avoiding the loss incident to a rougher climate. Cows,
sheep, and pif^s thrive . A large pork-packing business has lately been established
by the Messrs. Brethour, which bids fair to become a lucrative investment to the
proprietors, as well as beneficial to the district at large.
VkobtabiiBs. — All products of the garden can be raised in profusion. The
temperature and soil suit many vegetables and fruits of a .warmer clime,
water-melons, musk-melons, corn of several deacriptiona, tomatoes, See., ripen
without much care.
Fabh Implbments. — Since the earlier days of farming Saanich has been by no
means behind her neighbors in the adoption of improved farming implements. In
fact there are few cases in which contrivances for the saving of time and labor are
not made use of, while all thrashing is done by horae-power. An advance has
lately been made on these by the introduction of machinery worked by steam.
Canadian engineering skill ia now represented in the peninsula, bud we doubt not
that in the near future other improvements will follow.
MiUiS.— At the present time there is a steam grist-mill at North Saanich,
owned by H. Braokman, producing an excellent brand of flour and oatmeal, and
ff'ffl^^tf--

psying oaah for <s«r«ali. This undertaking hM proved * great oonvenienoe to aettlers,
M grain can now be ohesply and qnieklj converted into flonr, close to the home-
stead, avoiding a long and tronblewme journey to the city. We may here mention
that the proprietor has the utmost difflculty in supplying the demand for oatmeal. In
course of time we may fairly predict that similar establishments will be set up, as the
requirementa of farmers in other parts of the District demand. Water power
eiists and could probably be utilized for this and like purpcses.
BoADs.— Two excellent highways traverse the entire length of the peninsula,
at an average distance apart of '2% miles. That on the eastern side, after leaving
Lake, is the more level, passing through a tract of country which begins to present
quite a settled appearance. The west road, while not yet so much opened out,
abounds in scenery of a romantic oharnoter, offering glimpses here and there of
some thriving homestoad amid its broad acres surrounded with woodland. At
intervals of a section cross-roads, uniting these main arteries, are projected,
while five excellent roads are at present in actual uhc These itre all kept in
repair by the Provincial Government, and it may confidently be asHerted that of
the 2,U(H) milefi of mHcadaniized wagon road of which this Province is bo justly
proud, the highways of 8aauiob are secobd to none.
Whabvks.— A commodious wharf has been erected close to the mill at Shoal
Harbor, North Saanich, at which the east coast steamers make frequent and regular
calls, thus affording the settlers a readily accessible means of shipping produce to
the city and other markets.
RiLiGioDs AMD EDUCATIONAL Faoilitikb.— Not ouly do the inhabitants of the
peninsula profit by the above attention to their material interests but their intel-
lectual requirements are not by any means overlooked; for from very early days of
the colonizing of the Island religious privileges were supplied. Some twenty years
!-ince an Episcopal church and parsonage were erected at South Saanich, and a
clergyman of the Church of England has been generally residing there. Around
the picturesque building extends the local cemetery, one acre in extent, which
is neatly fenced and surveyed, and is being from time to time improved. It is
under the management of the church officials. The religious needs of those who
reside at a distance from the present church are provided for by worship each
Sunday in North Saanich. . A generous donation of two acres of land, cleared and
enclosed, on a splendid site, has been made for the erection of a church for that
portion of the District, A handsome sum has been promised and the building will
shortly be erected.
In addition to religious worship, Sunday-school classes are held and other
services given in various parts of the peninsula, as occasion demands, and the
members of the Church of England otherwise attended to generally.
The Roman Catholic Church has a place of worship and small cemetery
in South Saanich, and a resident clergyman has been in charge for many years.
The Indian Mission is under his care, and the orderly behavior of the Chris-
tian n&tives and their constant attendance on the services of the church are highly
creditable both to their missionary and to themselves.
Not far from the east road in South Saanich is a chapel belonging to the
Wesleyan Methodists, where services are periodically held. In addition to the
above, ministers of various denominations visit Saanich at intervals and give the
settlers the benefit of their ministrations. The inhabitants are therefore well
looked after, from a religious point of view.

During tbe aame period we find that no fewer than 238 riaitora were preaent

subject ia held by the aettleia generally.
SooiAi. Ordbb.— Reapect for tbe law ia univeraal. Juaticea of the Peace
reside in both portiona of the Diatriot, but they are seldom required to exercise
their legal functions, nor ia tbe constable more often in demand.
Mail FAcn.iTiis.— A stage makes regular trips to Victoria, carrying H. M.
maila, which are distributed and collected once each week.
HoTiLs. — In Saanich there are three hotels, kept in the best style, at
which every accommodation can be obtained. Mount Newton Hotel, kept by Mr.
Henderaon, ia much resorted to daring tbe summer months by invalids, seeking
rest and a brief reapite from tbe oarea of business amid tbe pleaaurea of a country
life.
OoAST, SoiMiBT, &0.— There is perhapa no portion of the Province which
will introduce the tourist so suddenly or so pleasantly to the raaliatio of the .Sigean
of old, aa a trip along tbe east coast of this Island, studded as it is by landa whoae
every embankment is the sea, and whose every feature courts the artist's pen or
pencil. Ontario pointo with pride to her "Thousand Isles," Quebec to the cluster,
ing isleto of the St. Lawrence, and crescent-shaped Prince Edward to the numerous
inleta alqpg her environs; bat we venture tbe assertion that our coast waters pre.
sent their equal in everything tbat can charm the eye and excel them in the
abundance and variety of game witb which they abound.
Indiams. — In tbe Peninsula there are four Beaervations for the nativea,
occupying about 2,000 acres, set apart by the Dominion Government, upon each of
which a village is situated. Tbe native population here, as throughout tbe Pro*
vince, is gradually diminishing, and must in course of time pass away. Of tbe
younger Indians, some are employed as farm laborers, proving not aeldom steady,
hard workers, while others fish and bunt, finding ready purobasers for their game,
Ac, in the settlers around them. So soon as the run of aalmon oommenoeg
most of tbe Indians leave their abodes en masse and cross tbe Onlf to tbe Fraser,
where they can obtain ample wages in oatobing fiah or in preparing them for tbe

aare, tba gravea in oloae vioinity to each village, roofed in and painted— aoma
ornamented with the oroaa, othera with a rode effigy of the dead and other
heathen rclioa, bat the antiquarian haa but little to diaoover and aoanty reward for
hia reaearohea. Not far however from a village on the 4>aHt ooaat may be aeen a
few carvinga which appear more ancient than any of the above.
Repreaentationa of fabulona wild animala are aaid formerly to have exiated,
but of these no trace in now to be found. Amid a luiuriant over-growth of bruah
appear, t>monK8t othera, two effigiea of a male and female. The Monlptnre ia rude
and the imagea weatherbeaten, both flgnrea gnaing out onto the ocean, the aoeue
probably of the dead one'a eiploita. and at the feet of the woman ia repreaented a
little child with ita tiny arma encircling ita motber'a waiat. A rude figure indeed,
faulty in execution, and devoid of all beauty save that one touch of Nature, which
makes the auvnge and the civilized world akin.
8uoh is a brief and imperfect deaoriptiou of the Diatriot of Baanich, the
"Devonshire of Vancouver," aa it is often named.
Land of a generally excellent quality, a hardworking, enterprising body of
aettlera, a climate vaatly superior to that of Europe, in which the extremes of heat
and cold are seldom encountered, universal respect for law and order; all these go
far towards rendering this indeed the choicest locality in Vancouver laland in which
to make a home. We have said that over 600 persons, including children, already
dwell in the peninsula, but, with her 38,600 acres, for how many more is there not
yet room?
The construction of the Ganadian Pacific Railway, now being rapidly pushed
forward must tend to bring in settlers to this as well as other portions of the
Province.
Her religious, educational, agricultural, social and other advantages, together
with the proximity of the capital, and easy means of access by land and sea, warrant
the confident expectation that, in the near future, Soanicb will become the well
cultivated "garden" as well as the natural "Devon" of the Pacific Province.

ESQUIMALT DISTRICT.
ESQUIMALT, METCHOSIN. SOOKE, GOLDSTKEAM AND
HIGHLAND.
Exquimalt Electoral Dintrict inoludea Esqnimalt (with Col wood) MetchoBiu,
Sooke, Hipihland nud Goldstream diBtricts, mnking together an area of ahoiit lUO
square mi! en.
This district lies in a westerly direction from Victoria and is bounded on the
East b\ Victoria harbor, on the South by the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Royal Bay.
The town of Esqnimalt is situated on a small peninsula which separates the
Royal Roads from Esquimau harbor, and is distant about 3^ miles from Victoria, to
which it is connected by a good macadamized road . The place is justly celebrated
for its beantiful harbor, which is capacious, easy of access, and well sheltered. Prin-
cipally on account of the facilities this harbor affords, and the general healthiness of
the locality, this place was selected by the Uritish Admiralty, at an early date, as the
chief naval station for Her Majesty's ships on the Pacific, and consequently the Ad-
miralty has established an arsenal here, in which are stored large quantities of naval
ordnance supplies of all kinds. In addition to the dock yard and arsenal are the
naval hospital, and the powder magazine, the latter being situated on Magazine Is-
land, in the northern part of the harbor. It is generally expected that Esquimalt
will (at some not very remote period) form the western terminus of the Canada Pacific
Railway, and certainly tfa j accessibility of the harbor and the superior accommoda-
tion which it affords would seem to justify such expectation,
The dry dock, the second largest of the public works ever undertaken in the
province, deserves special notice. The amount expended in construction to date
is $250,000. Its length, 400 feet on floor; entrance. 05 feet wide; depth, 26 feet. The
material used in its construction being Portland cement; concrete faced with sand-
stone. When finished this will be one of the largest docks on the coast, affording
ample accommodation for the largest ships.
Esquimalt has two churches and two public schools . The former belonging to
the Eus^lish Episcopal and Roman Catholic churches: and of the latter one is situat-
ed in Esquimalt town and the other at Colwood .
A stage carrying pass<>ngers and H M mails makes thrive trips daily (Sundays
excepted) between Esquimalt and Victoria. Leaving Victoria at 9 n.rn . , 11 :30 a.m . ,
4:30 p.m., and Esquimalt at 10 a.m. 1:30 p.m, 5:15 p.m. Tli»< dire is 26cts each
way. The two places are connected by telephone.
Esquimau district is studded with small farms and pretty country residences,
some of those along the water being exceedingly picturesque. An Indian village and
reserve lie on the northeast side of the harbor and a Roman Catholic mission has
been established here.
At some seasons of the year the waters of Esquimalt are visited by enormous
quantities of herrings, and the curing of these at that time is quite a local industry.
During the summer months, whiting are found in large numbers in all parts of
the harbor. .Catching these delicious fish forms a favorite pastime for boating par-
ties, at that season of the year .

til
Golwoud 18 u Hchool dUtriot lying ou the West aide of Enquiuitilt harbor. It
contains Heveral good farms and the looality irt wttll adapted for sheep raising. Bel-
mont tannery is situated here on the shores of'a lagoon, and about half n mile from
the main road . The estate comprises 510 acres, aud is ownvtd by the Belmont tan-
ning and boot and shoe manufacturing company (limited) of Victoria. This large
three storied tannery is probably the bust appointed on the PaoiAo coast, North of
San Francisco . It is furnished with all modern labor saving machinery, and is a
model establishment in every respect, enabling Arst class leather to be turned out at
the minimum of cost. The output of the tannery is about six hundred sides of tole,
upper and harness leather per month, besides a great number of calf, seal, goat and
sheep skins. The machinery is run by watei -power from the abundant perpetual
springs on the company's property, which also furnishes excellent water to Her Ma-
jesty's fleet at Esquimau.
Metohosin, lying in a South westerly directfon from Victoria, and about 16
miles distant from that city, is situated along the shores of Parry Bay . Its area is
about 24 square mites, and it is bounded on the North by Esqnimalt, on the East
and South by the Strait of Juan de Fuca, on the West by Sooke district; and includes
the farming settlements of Rooky Point and Happy valley. It is purely an agiicnl-
tural and stock raising district, and is one of the oldest farming settlements in the
province.
The soil of Metohosin is for the most part of loam (in some places mixed with
red clay) with a clay sub soil, and is very productive. As much as 45 bushels of
wheat or 60 bushels of oats have been raised to the acre. The strength of the soil
in this locality may be judged from the fact, that in some parts of it good crops have
been successfully grown for the last 18 years without the aid of manure. The aver-
age yield of wheat is from 20 to 25 bushels per acre. Apples, pears, plums, straw-
berries, and in fact all kinds of fruits, cereals, and vegetables suited to temperate cli-
mates thrive well.
The principal farms, the majority of which border on the water, are the Bil-
ston, Ferncliffe, Glengarry, Sherwood, Deer Park, Crofter's, Bocky Point and Nor.
folk farms, the area under cultivation being something over 2,000 acres, but a much
larger amount is under fence. The tract of land lying between Metohosin proper
and hocky Point, called Gordonbusb, is an extensive range where large flocks of
Gotswold and Southdown sheep, are raised. There is also a good sheep rni; at Nor-
folk farm, on the West side of Metohosin, there is a number of rooky hills which
form an extensive range for cattle and sheep. Wild strawberries, blackberries, sallal
and thimble berries, and on the tops of the mountains a species of huckleberry, are
the principal wild fruits found here.
Bocky Point is the name by which the southern part of Metohosin is known.
There are several good farms here. Off Bocky Point, and on the South side of it,
are Bentinck Island and Bace Books. The former is a small wooded island inhab-
ited by Indians; the latter a dangerous cluster of rocks on which there is placed a
revolving light, erected in 1860, and a steam fog whistle has since been added. An-
other small farming settlement lying to the North East of Metohosin, and about 3
miles distant from the school house, is Happy Valley. There are some six or eight
farms at this place, the greater part of the land being low and exceedingly rich.
TiMBKB . — As in most other parts of British Columbia the timber is chiefly
Douglas pine, cedar, hemlock, balsam and spruce, the largest growth being found in
the direction of Happy Valley. There are also some fine oak-groves* in the vicinity.

Watrr PowKn. — Hesiden nmnller Htreninn there are two splendifl wnter privi-
IpfjeH in this district, neither of which is, however, at present utilized. The one is
the Bilnton Creek, which flow« from Happy Vnlley, nnd terminntoH by n beautiful
waterfall, at the head of a nhnllow inlet on the coast. The other in formed by the
overflow of the sheetof water known ns Dr. Ash's Vines, or the Big Lake: a beauti-
ful sheet of water about 2 miles long, lying midway between Pedder Inlet and Sooke
Basin. At the outlet of this lake a dam wns built some years ngo by Dr. Ash, of Vic-
toria.
SoKNRUT. — The scenery of Metehosin is picturesque and beautiful in the ex-
treme. Facing; the (trand Olympian mountains which lie, with their snow capped
snmmitR, on the other aide of the Strait of Fnoa, and possessing in itself natural
tieanties of hill and dale, rocky crags, thick forests, and pleasant farina with their
well stocked and well cultivated fields, it cannot fail to recommend itself to all lov-
ers of the beautiful. The tops of mount Vere, Driver and Indian hills, which are
easy of access, command magnificent viewA. The Bilston Falls, a cataract situated
within a quarter of n mile of the main road, will well repay the visitor any trouble be
may be put to in order to see thim. During the winter months especially they are
qnite grand.
HcNTiNO, Fishing, &o. — Metehosin is one of the favorite hunting grounds of
the Victorians, both on account of its acceanibility, and of the large amount of game
which abounds in this part of Vancouver Island. Deer, grouse and quail are very
plentiful : and a variety of ducks are found on the lakes, swamps, and lagoons, es-
pecially the canvas back and mallard. Parties of hunters start from Victoria with a
tent, a few cooking utensils, their blankets and guns, camping in some pleasant
spot in the mountains, spend a most enjoyable time hunting, fishing, &c.; and gen-
erally return to town loaded with game, with health and spirits both improved by
their excursion. Panthers and bears are not found so often as formerly; but wolves
are still too plentiful and occasionally troublesome to the farmers. Good fishing is
to be had both in salt water and fresh. Vere and Big lakes, in common with the
majority of the lakes of Vancouver Island, contain a plentiful supply of trout &o.;
and fine sport is to be had in the months of July, August and September, trolling
with a spoon bait in the waters of the Straits for salmon. It is not an unusual sight
to see as many as a dozen of these fish caught in this manner in an hour.
Drives, &a. ~ The drive from Victoria is one of the prettiest of the re-
markably pretty drives which abound in the vicinity of that city. The road from
Victoria runs in a northern direction to Parson's Bridge, which crosses a small creek
at the head of Esquimalt harbor, and is about 6 miles distant from the city . Thence
it takes a southerly course passing through Colwood, and over Sangster's Plains, a
park like expanse, bounded on the East by the shores of Boval Bay . Leaving the
plains the traveller will find the road rather hilly, but othet-vise in good order, and
will soon arrive at Metehosin. Passing Crofter's and Bilston farms he will in due
time reach the church and school house, both of which are prettily situated in a
groveof oaks, and adjacent to one another. St. Mary's church (for such is its
name) is a very neat structure built in the year 1873 under the auspices of the church
of England, the service, conducted by a visiting clergyman from Victoria, is held in
it fortnightly . The school, in common with all the public schools in the Province,
is free, and provided by the Government.
At the school-house, the main branch turns to the right. Nearly half a mile
thence the traveller will find another turn in the road, the right branch leading town-

ward again throngh Happy Valley, aud the other to Rooky Point where it termi'
nates . Branching from the Rooky Point road, and on the right Hide of it, are two
trailH. The one passing along the shores of the Big lake, joins the Sooke road at the
head of Booke basin; the other, lying Bouth of the first, leads to the settlement on
the Houth side of Sooke harbor.
AcooHHODATioN. — There in no regularly established hotel in Melohosiu, bnt
visitors and tourists can always obtnin aooommodation at Sherwood farm, where they
will find in Mrs. Helgeseu an attentive and hospitable hostess, whose charges are
always very moderate .
Mails. — A weekly mail which is established between Sooke and Victoria, car-
ries the Metchosin mails . It leaves Sooke aud Metohosin every Monday and returns
the next day . There is no telegraphic communication. The steamer \\ oodside
plies between the two points, carrying passengers and freight.
SooKK, situated al>out 22 miles west from Victoria, and around a sheet of
water called Sooke Harbor and Sooke Bitsin, is the most westerly agricultural
district of the south of Vancouver Island. It is a thriving settlement, some thirty
settlers having made their homes in this part. It is for the most part very heavily
timbered, but the soil, which is a clayey loam, is very fertile, and amply repays the
farmer for the labor of clearing it. As in the other portions of Vancouver Island,
all kinds of cereals, fruits and vegetables thrive well. Messrs. Muir Bros., who are
the oldest settlers of the district, have a large, well worked, and well scooked farm,
and have for years carried on a lumbering business in a profitable manner. The
"Woodside Mills," owned and run by them, supply the locality and, in part the
city of Victoria with lumber. A cooperage, established in 18G3 by Gapt. Hugh
MacKay, and now the property of Mr. James Knill. turns out very superior barrels.
Both salmon fishing and dog-fishing have been carried on in the harbor and the
adjacent waters but not to any great extent, and the western part of the district
is specially noted for the large number of deer which are found there.
Sooke Harbor is a large sheet of well sheltered water, but its utility as a port
is depreciated by the intricacy and narrowness of its entrance. However the inner
harbor, called Sooke Basin, is a fine sheet of water, several miles in extent, with
good anchorage in all parts,
Sooke river is a considerable stream, emptying itself into (^ooke Harbor, and
is crossed about half a mile from its mouth by an aroh-beam bridge. Siilmou run
up this river in large numbers.
Leech river, a tributary of the Sooke river, is famous for the gold discoveries
which have been made in its bed and banks. Gold was first found on this stream
by Mr. Leech, of the Hudson's Bay Company, in 1864, and lanje quantities of that
metal have been taken out since then. These mines are not extensively worked at
present; but experienced miners who have visited this region concur in the opinion
that a large amount of gold still exists in the immediate neighborhood.
Sooke is connected with Victoria by a good wagon road, which passes
through Colwood and Happy Valley and terminates, at its southern end, near
Otter Poiut, about six miles beyond Sooke school house, the latter being situated in
the central part of the district.
Highland District, situated north from Esquimalt and bordered on the
west by Lake District, and on the west and north by the waters of Saanich Arm, is
very hilly and thickly timbered. However some remarkably good agricultural land
is found in the valleys, and the hills form excellent runs for cattle. This district is
very sparsely populated, only the southern part of it !iaving been surveyed. It

It derives ila name from a beantifol stream of water which flows through it. and on
whioh gold ledges have been diseovered in several places. In the southern part of
the distriol are some good farma, and Ooldstream House, distant about 19 milea
from Victoria, is a (kvorite country resort of the people of that city. It is situated
on the banka of the Ooldstream, which affords good trout fishing. Plenty of game
is found by hunters in the neighboring hills, and the summits of theite latter
command fine views of Saanich Arm. etc.
LANoroBO Lakk also li«n in the southern part of the diHtriot, and its banks
are much need as camping plHces for excursionists and picnic parties. During the
autumn and winter months large numbers of ducks congregate on its waters, and
when frozen it affordn good skating to lovers of that sport
The northern part of Ooldstream, whioh has not yet been surveyed, is sn
excellent range for cattle, a species of wild clover growing abundantly in this
locality.

COWICHAN DISTRICT (AND THE ADJACENT
ISLANDS.)
Gowioban ia a fertile agriouUaral diatriot situated ou the east coast of Van-
CO aver Island, about midway between Victoria and Nanaimo, and presents a wide
and varied field for enterprise. It extends from the Goldsiream hills, bordering on
the west, the Saauich Inlet on the south, to Oyster Bay, near Nanaimo; and from the
salt water ou the east const to the Oreat Gowicban Lake i > i.4 interior. Settlement
began in 1862, under the auspices of the late Sir .James L'^n il^s, then governor of
the colony. The pioneer settlers had the choice of location according to prioi ity of
registered claim, and many of them still reside upon the lands then acquired, now
well-to-do farmers and honored members of the community. At the present time
agriculture is the chief industry of Gowicban. It is noted for the productiveness
of its soil, cereals being grown of a quality perhaps unsurpassed in any country.
Diplomas of merit were given at the American Centennial Exhibition in 1876, and
again at the Paris Exposition in 1878, for samples of wheat and oats grown in
Gowicban, and exhibited by Messrs. Skinner, Smithe and others, old pioneer
residents of the District. Settlement upon the lands has proceeded steadily,
although not so rapidly as could have been desired or as would have been the case
if the Bailway reserve, which was placed on the lands in 1873, had not withdrawn
alike from sale and pre-emption every acre of crown-land within the District
Those who have settled since the reserve was put on, have of coanie simply
"squatted," and they take their chance of being able to acquire a title to their
homesteads, whenever the reserve shall be lifted and the lands placed in the market.
It is expected, however, that' the reserve will not be much longer continued, and
that rdilway construction will shortly be commenced. Then a healthy impetus will
no doubt ba given to settlement, and extensive areas of lands now untrod by foot of
man will be rescued from the prowling wild beasts of the forest and made to smile
ander the settler's industrious hand.
Another drawback to Gowicban as an agricultural district is the Indian reserve
on the bottom lands of the Cowiohan. and Kokesailah rivers. In the very heart of
the scttlemttnt a block of several thousand acres oi the choicest land is held by the
Dominion Government iu trust for the Indians-, still no one can begrudge the
aboriginal owners of the whole country a limited portion of the lauds their fathers
held. Ah it is the lantl iu question is but partially improved and is likely to
continue so if no change b<* made in the Indian policy of the Government; while if
it could be purchased by white men, in a few years it would be turned into a very
garden of productiveness, would give homesteads to many settlers, and present an
attractive picture of landscipe beauty. Some day, possibly, the change will be
made; for the Indians (and sorry is the writer to have to say it) are fast disap-
pearing.
The Cowiehaus were onco perhaps the most powerful and the most warlike
tribe of the coast Indians- At the date of the writer's first noqudntanco with
them, twenty years ago, although at that time they had reduced iu numbers by a
long continued internecine tribal war, their population was among the thousands.
Now it is doubtful if one thousand all told would be mustered under the roll of the

oen8na-tak»r. Mnoh has been done by the Roman Catholic misBiou. under worthy
Father Bondeau, lately assisted by Fnther Dunokele, for the moral and religioas
welfare of the natives; and the liev. Mr. Holmes, of the Anglican Church, has also
been energetic in the same direction. The result of the divoted roiniKtrationa of
these worthy men is, t^ at the Cowichan Ir.dinns are, as a body, a good, sober and
industrious people. Many of theni have displayed great aptitude in the acquire-
ment of civilized ideas and the adoption of civilized ways. One, notably, familiarly
known as Lemon, reads and writes English fairly, and for some time conducted
suocesof nlly a general trading store .
In addition to agriculture, the lumber tiade has been a staple industry of
Cowichan. For many years the enterprisinp; pionerr, W. P. Saywnrd, kept
a mill running in Shawnigan: and since its recent nbandonment the splendid
water power of the old mill, probably the fltiest en the island, has been run-
ning to waste. The writer has always considered the nite of Saywatd's mill to
be particularly adapted for a wooleti factory, an industry offering the most
flattering results to capitalists. In Mahoney's Bay W. J. Sutton has a
lumber mill, where lately a great deal of activity has been displayed, lumber
being shipped to all parts of the world. This mill is well appointed, the
machinery throughout being of the newest and most approved order. Mr. Sutton
has a timber claim on the Cowichan Lake and river, where there is some of the
finest timber to be found in the Province. Two logging camps are working on this
claim ai present, and before next season's high water in the river they expect to get
ont many millions of feet of flrfit-clnss logs. There is another lumber mill at
Chemainus, erected by the iate T. O. Askew, and how managed by his relict, Mrs
Askew. Lumber of very fine quality is manufactured at this mill; but lately Mrs.
Askew has confined her operations to the supply of the local market. Several cargoes
of excellent spars have been shipped to England from this point A specimen spar
of magnificent proportions was sent from there to the Centennial Exhibition
While Cowichan, as ia pretty well known, is rich in mineral resources, very
little has so far been done to develop its wealth in that direction. The withdrawal
from sale of Crown lands in the District, under the Railway reserve, has Vieen a
complete drag upon mining as well as agriculture on the east coast A vein of
silver ore, discovered upon an isolated pre-emption claim some miles back from the
settlement, and now known as the Sterling Silver Mine has been worked for some
time, under rather adverse circumstances, with satisfactory results and encourag-
ing prospects. In the same vicinity Edward Harris, a practical miner and
energetic prospector, has discovered some veins of very superior looking silver ore;
and but for the impossibility of getting a title to any of the claims capital would be
at once forthcoming: to test the value of the leads, A vein of anthracite coal,
circumstanced like the Sterling Mine, is owned by a few Victoria gentlemen,
who think they have in it a valuable property. The outoroppings of other veins of
coal, both bituminous and anthracite, have been discovered in various parts of the
District; and Mr. Richardson, of the Dominion Geological Survey corps, in the 1879
report of his department, represenis the true coal measures as extending throughout
Cowichan and the adjacent islands. Until, however, the Itailway lands shall have \
been dealt with, it is vain to expect that the minerals, in which the mountains that
skirt the settlement apparently abound, will be broHi^'^ht to the surface and made to
take their place among the recognized sources of Provincial wealth.
The scenery of Cowichan is most beautiful and attractive, and the climate all
that could be wished for. Hill and dale, woodland and prairie, nre in charming
alternation, Occasional oak-openings vary the scene, while three considerable rivers
and a number of lakes, large and small, make up a landscape-view, as seen from the

top of Mount PrevoHt or Monnt TBuhailim, unaarpHfined in hbanty. The ri«rrs
Cowichnn, Kokesailub and Chemainus all abound in flsb, and the dinripleB of Izak
Walton find in them nil that could be desired for the practice of their piHcatorial art,
and many basket-fulU of bonnie speckled front are daily taken from the waters of
those beautiful streams by excursionists from Victoria, during the fishing season.
The lakes are not less prolific in their wealth of fish, and the angler's fly glides not
in Tain on the gleaming surface of Somenos or Shawnigan lakes. There, at early
morn, a well plied rod will never fail to provide a bountiful breakfast; and when the
evening sun throws long shadows on the lake, the fisherman's basket may then
again be filled On the bosom of the Quamichan lake the fly need not be cast; for
large should be his store of patience who would essay to fish with fly on the surface
of the lovely Quamichan . Trout there are in the lake, in abundance, and of a size
and qual'ty to turn the angler's head; but the Quamichan fish have no weakness
for the fly, and they view the most attractively got up fly, thrown in the most artistic
manner, with unconcern It in quite different, however, when the troll fisherman
presents himself and draws the gleaming minnow before his gnze. Then,
wLero all had been calm disdain uu the part of iir. Quamichan Trout, now
ensues a flutter of eager excitement, and the troU-man's basket is quickly filled with
fish of magnificent proportions. It may be said, enpcutsant, that it is with mortals
as with trout, the bait that catches one will fail to catch another. While speaking
of fish it might be mentioned that although there is not in Cowichau a salmon
canning establishment, the Writer thinks C owichan Buy presents a good opening for
that lucrative branch of industry. The Bay at certain seasons veritably swarms
with salmon of splendid quality The run of salmon in the river, which does not
take place 'iUtil high water in the autumn, is for the moet part of a quality unfit for
canning purposes; but the run of salmon, such as they are then, is enormous, and
it is thought by those who have given it attention that the same sal'non might be
taken in the Bay early in the season when they are in superb condition, and when
canning might be profitably carried on. On a small scale, salmon caught in the Bay,
in former years, used to be put up in barrels by James Kinnear, who found the
business profitable, and there is little doubt that, if entered upon in a larger way, it
would be equally so .
At Oyster Ray, as its name indicates, there are perhaps the finest oyster beds to
be found in any of the waters of the coast; and with careful cultivation an important
industry might there be developed . The drawback at present is the limited market j
and the difficulty of getting the product to Victoria in proper condition and at small j
cost. This, with many others of similar nature in the country, is a prospective in-
dustry . Sandstone, said to be much superior to that got on Newcastle Island, is
found near the beach at Maple Bay, near W. Chisholm's. A large quaray could
be opened there at very moderate expense The communication at present is en-
tirely by water. The mail steamer calls at Gowichan, Chemainus, and Maple Bay
in Cowichan proper, and at Bnrgoyne Buy and Vesuvius Bay, on Salt Spring Is-
land. A wagon road is open between Nanaimo and Cowichan; and if 10 miles more
of road wers made between Gowichan and Goldstream, through communnication
could be had between Victoria and Nanaimo. This road would be a great boon to
the people of Victoria as well as to the people of Gowichan. At present Victorians i
are cooped up within a limited area, bounded by Saanicb Arm and Goldstream and !
Sooke mountains. Beyond those points the Island, to the average townsman, is a '
terra incognita; but were the road completed between Goldstream and the Gowichan |
road, already made near Shawnigan lake Victorians could, in a short day 'b drive, i

reach Shnvnigan lake, a body of water aeven miles long, teeming with fish and aar-
rounded by a country (ul 1 of game of every deaoription.
Cowichan Electoral DiHtrict embracea Bait Spring laland and the lalands in
the Onlf of Qporgin including Oaliano, Mayne, Pender, Satnma and a nnmbor of
smaller iHlanda. The climate of those Islands in particularly aalnbrions, and fruits
of everv description, from the grape and peach to the hardy Siberian crab, thrive in
a remarkable manner. The Islands are particularly well adapted to sheep farming,
and eitansive flocks are kept on some of them. On Salt Sjiring or Admiralty Is-
land the Messrs. Pinibnry Bros, have an excellent run which they carefully pre-
serve; and from their ranch in supplied some of the finest mutton that goes into
the Viotoria and Nanaimo markets. The error fallen into by some of the large sheep
owners on the other Islands of over-stocking their runs has been particularly guard-
ed ngninst by Messrs. Pimbury, and they have been rewarded by complete success
in their enterprise The next most snooessful sheep raiser is probably Henry
Morris of Gnliano. Mr. Morris has a splendid run and a productive farm independ-
ently of bi ( ran . The writer has l<nown a flock of five hundred sheep to have been
maintained for a period of about six months in splendid order, on about fifty acres
of rieh pasture land on Mr. Morris's farm. On Pender Island Messrs. Grimmer
Bros., and J. J. Alexander, and on Satnrna Chas. Trueworthy, have large
flocks; but they sufTer largely now from previous over-stocking. In addition to
sheep farming and ordinary husbandry, many of the setllers on those Islands pro-
secute a fishing industry, combining the cultivation of their land with the utilization
of the adjoining waters; and the water and the soil are alike richly productive. The
fisheries among the Islands are of great importance aud are capable of being devel-
oped beyond the present limits, although many thousand dollars worth of fish oil are
annually exported from the locality. As there has been no railway reserve on the
islands, settlement has not been retarded as it has been on Vancouver, and many set-
tlers have annually gone in; and to the traveller who makes a tour of those islands
the result of thrift and indnstry is everywhere observable, in comfortable homes and
their contented occupants. (The hospitality of these islanders is proverbial and
deservedly so, as many who have visited them, as the writer has often done, can
testify.) In fine summer weather, with a good boat aud a skilful pilot who under-
stands the currents and the set of the tide at its different stages, the writer knows of
no more pleasant trip than a week among the islands affords The tides run with
great velocity in some of the narrow channels, and woe to the wight who undertakes
to navigate the waters of the passes in ignorance of the action of the tidal currents;
and in stormy weather no frail craft should venture on those waters. As the name
indicates Salt Spring Island has a number of springs, the waters of which are strong-
ly saline. Some day or other no doubt salt works may be established there.
Within the Electoral District of Cowichan nre two municipalities; one on Salt
Spring Island and one in Cowichan proper, embracing that part lying to the North
of Cowichan river. The southern portion of the settlement prefers, and under ex-
isting circumstances very properly so, to remain unincorporated. The extensive
road system within the municipality, and which for some years the municipalities
have had to carry on without any government assistance is a great tax upon the peo-
ple; and if the municipalities could surrender their letters patent and again place the
responsibility of making the roads upon the government, a large majority would
favor the surrender.
Cowichan is the largest agricultural settlement on Vancouver Island and when
the Island Bai'way shall have been built and the railway lands thrown open, it will

In this beautiful valley the Sisters of St. Ann have a day sohocl, attended by
native girls, and a large asylum, where over 50 orphan girls are f dnoated. There is
also a school for native boys under the mauagement of Father Donckele; average
attendance, 25 or 30.
AoBicuLTDBAL SooiKTT.— Cowiohau has a flourishing Agricultural Society,
the oldest in the Province A grant of 20 acres of land near Maple Bay was made
by the old Colonial Oovernment to the Society, and a portion has been enclosed
for exhibition purposes. An agricultural hall has been erected and extpnsive sheds
for cattle and pens for sheep and hugs bavr> been built, and an annual shew is held
about the beginning of October, which attracts from the settlements and ffom the
adjacent islands, as well as from Victoria and Nanaimo, a large number of visitors.

NANAIMO DESCRIPTIVE.
The city is Hituated on the East coast of Vancouver Island, aboat 70 miles
from Victoria, There is a Government road most of the distance between the latter
city and Nnnaimo. which was built many years ago, but at present the more con ven-
■eut way to reach there is by water. Nanaimo takes its name from the local Indian
tribe, and ns a Reneral thin«. the samt- niune is applied to the siirronnding region
for many uiiies. ineludinK the districtH (containing about 100 square miles) known
on the Governni»-nt iiuip as Mountain. Cedar, Cranberry and Wellington The city
has a backf^round covered with a heavy forest of cedar and flr, while hidden beneath
are untold treasures of bituminous coal of various strata and depth, which forms the
staple of Nanaimo and its neighborhood. Approached from the harbor, the city ap-
pears to nestle at the foot of Mount Benson, a hill of considerable elevation, which
is nevertheless several miles distant. The building of the city and the laying out of
its streets were necessarily affected by the irregular conformation of the coast line,
the viirious indentations of the harbor having caused many deflections in the streets,
noticeable to a stranger landing for the first time.
Nnnaiuio was not built with the prospect of becoming a commercial emporium
or business centre, ns is ( ommonly the case with new cities upon the PaciiJc coast,
but was originally intended to be simply a mining village and trading post by its
founders— the Hudson Bay Company — who bought the town-plot from the Ii. Mans
in the winter of 1852. The l<arbnr is safe and commodious, affording secure anchor-
age for shipping and excellent facilities for quays and wharves near the shore, where
deeply-laden vessels may lie with safety . There are several places along the har-
bor line which are well adapted for the construction of dry docks, where the requi-
site outlay of capital would be comparatively light owing to the adaptation of the
coast It is indeed a pretty sight to see upon a summer evening the numerous boat-
ing and yachting parties which take their recreation upon the placid waters of the
harbor, or thread their course amid the islands situated from one to three miles from
the city.
Besides the large coal wharves of the Vancouver Coal Co . and that of 0. Car-
penter for the shipment of lumber from his saw-mill, there are other wharves, those
of D. W. Gordon and the late Jno. Hirst, where passengers and freight are usually
landed, and towards which the chief traffic and business of the city converge. The
original town-site was confined to the rocky peninsula upon which the chief busi-
ness part now stands; but of late years, the deep ravine in the rear has been spann-
ed by two well constructed wooden bridges which lead to the newer portion of the
city, where most of the private residences are built; since Incorporation, which took
place some eigvit years ago, the city fathers have shown much judgment in utilising
the burnt cinders from the refuse coal heaps of the adjacent collieries with which
they have overlaid the streets, and a fine, hard, dry covering has resulted. The
same judicious care has generally been exercised in the economical management of
the civic exchequer . The Government buildings in Front street (consisting of Court
house and Jail) are wooden structures and consequently of only a temporary char-
acter. A new post office is about to be erected and will be the first public building

I VV H. Clarke. A little heyond, is the MithodJHt church, the Itev, C. Hryant, pan-
tor. This is the mother or pioneer church, having been erected in 1800. There is
; also, as in the case of .S. Paul's, a conitiiodious room for Sabbath-school piirposc^ii.
; The Presbyterian (^liureh is situated across the ravine in Fit/.williani and Kobson
; streets. It is smaller than the ether places of worship, but of neat desi^^n with n
I belfry in front, A tine manse also stands on the same lot, but for some time past it
; has been unoccupied. A sliort distance from the Presbyterian el urch, are the Uo-
I Uian Catholic church and parsonage, nnd the ('onvent school of St. Ann, forming
! together the most imposing edifices in Nannimo. These are situated in Walhure st.
I The church is of beautiful Oothic design, and* has a vory popular priest in Father
i Lemons, who has been in charge since the consecration of the church
I
The public schools are conducted in two Re))arate buildings; the boy's school
I is the original edifice erected by the (iovernment in Halil'Urton street, where the Se-
I nior department is under the care of D Jones, aad the Junior in charge of A. E.
I Lindsay. The girl's school house, on the corner of Franklyn nnd Sdby streets, is
a more recent erection and ccnisists of two stories. In the upper room Mrs P>erke-
ley has charge of the senior girls, and Miss Policy teaches the junior department in
the lower r<iom
.\s before mentioned, the Sisters of St. .Ann have a large and flr>urishing edu-
cational establishment for girls, conducted with their well known ability and care, |
the attendance being about 40. j
Thk AonicuLTunAi, Capabimtiks of the district surrounding Nanaimonre but '■
limited, although in the valleys of tht Nanaimo and Millstream rivers, chiefly on !
: bottom or delta lands, several farmers have for years reaped remunerative returns. '
Climatk. — The climate differs little from that of Victoria, except that the win- i
ter may be a little longer, and the prevalence of high winds from the sen may not be i
; as frequent as in the neighborhood of the capital. The dry weather in sunirai r of- '
ten continues without interruption for weeks together. As a whole, the climate is
pleasant, i
FisHiNO AND Hunting. — Sportsmen have almost unlimited resources of enjoy- 1
. ment in the large range for deer nnd bear hunting which may be found in the sur- |
rounding forest; nnd in the mountain lakes which are numerous a few miles back, \
■ trout of the finest kind and large size may be obtained. The Victoria rond, which ;
' lends from Hnliburton street is macndnmised for a long distance nnd affords n flr.e 1
■ carriage drive across Nanaimo river which, at a distance from the city of six miles, !
; is spanned by n substantial wooden bridge, a little beyond which is a way-side hotel ;
I kept by Mr. Halloran. Beyond Nanaimo river there are severnl enterprising far- ^
mers who are making comfoj-table homes for themselves in the Cedar nnd Cranber-
ry districts; the most distant of them being about 10 or 11 miles from Nannimo. Be-
■ yond these, there is no settlement along the Victoria road for 15 miles, or until Che-
' mninus is reached. i
In the opposite direction from Nnnnimo, is the road leading to the Welling- |
ton mine, which is six miles distant. This road is the most frequented of any in j
; the district, as it also passes through the VVestwood estate, two miles from the city, I
where another new colliery is talked of, and away on to the new mines at South ;
Wellington, and to the farming settlements of Nunoose and Englishman's river. |

LiTKRAKY Inhtitdtk — This building, erected in 1866, is one of the largest in
Nanitinio, and its hidl, upon the ground floor, nfi'ords room for '250 persons. It
is the best room for public gatherings in the city, and is commonly used for theatri-
cal entertiiiumcnta, ballH, soirees, und public meetings of various kinds. In its up-
per story there is a large rending room with smaller rooms behind. The position of
this building nt the Kiist end of Bastion street bridge is well adapted for the pur-
pose of a public iuKtitiition of the kind.
The Nunaitiio HoKpital, located in one of the most desirable positions in the
city, stands at the head of Finnklyu street, upon a site donated by the Vancouver
Coal Co. It WI18 erected partly by Gorernment aid and partly by private subserip-
tious nt n cost of $3,000, but a debt of $900 still remains, which the well-known gen-
erosity of the Nanaimo and Wellington people will doubtless ere long remove.
The Nanaimo Fire EnL'ine Co.. No. 1, occupies a building in a central posi-
tion in Cominerciiil street. The site was donated by J . W. Stirtan and the late J.
Hirst, and by the same gentleman was the building erected in 1878 and given to the
Fire Co., excepting a large donation of lumber by C. Carpenter The engine which
was formerly in use in Portland, Oregon, has been of considerable service here, es-
pecially in extinguishing the great tire in the Chase river mines two years ago, for
which purpose it was taken down into the mine-workings and rendered incalculable
service in subduing the fire which would otherwise have destroyed the entire mine.
The engine is worked by a volunteer company .
The Masonic fraternity have a tine hall in a building owned by Ashlar Lodge
No. 3, situated in Commercial street. The Odd Fellows' Lodge -Black Diamond
No. 4 — have a very commodious ball also in Commercial street, neur the Long
bridge, in which there are also regular meetings of the Foresters' Lodge, which has a
large number of members, and also of the lodge of the Ancient Order of United
Workmen. The Good Templar, Onward Lodge No, 2, holds regular meetings in its
ball near the Methodist church in Front street.
Waoks — The scale of wages paid is aflfected considerably by oiroumstanoes,
but generally, laborers earn $2 and carpenters from $2 50 to $3 per day. Rate of
board and lodging: Five dollars per week are charged for board at the hotels, and
$25 per month for both board and lodging. Taken altogether its numerous wealth
of coal and many undeveloped industries will tend to make Nanaimo in the near
future a great shipping and manufacturing centre.
Dkpahtxtbb Bay. — This fine harbor, adjacent to^anaimo, has accommodation
for a whole fleet, and indeed it often contains many vessels, some loading coal and
others waiting for cargoes. Both the Wellington and South Wellington mines have
their wharves on the West shore of this bay, while on the opposite side are the Van-
couver Coal Co.'s wharves at Newcastle Island. Nothing can be more picturesqae
than the scenery around Departure Bay and along the narrow channel (deep enough
though for large ships to pass through) which connects it with Nanaimo harbor.
There is a good entrance to the Oulf of Georgia on the outside .

NANAIMO-GENERAL PROGRESS.
The City wns iiiporpornteil in lS7t nnd the consuB retnrni* of 1881 repreHentu
n total popnirttion of 2803 (includinf^ the siirroiindinn country); thin numbpr is being
coutinnnlly increnned by new arrivals, and tho oponing of new coal fifUn in the dis-
trict will oonsidcrably augment the population at no distant date. During the Inst
few years Nanaimo has made great progress, and tliere is no reason why it should
not become a manufacturing city, a« there are already various industries carried on.
THE NANAIMO COLLIERY.
The workings of the Vancouver Coal Company at and near Nanaimo com-
prise: Douglas Pit, situated in the City; No. 1 Shaft Esplanade, Nanaimo; Now
Douglas Mine, near Chase River; South Field Mine. South of Chase River; and the
Fitzwilliani Mine, on Newcastle Island
Thk Douglas Skam or Coai. is very extensive It is at present worked at
Nanaimo, in the Douglas Pit towards the Outcrop and by extraction of pillars, &c.,
' while coal is being mined in a continuation of the same seam at the New Douglas
Mine near Chase Riv^r, a distance of a mile and a hi.lf South of town. The Doug-
las seam is proved westwards to the dip, and is traceable thr lugh Protection and
, Newcastle Islands, forming a vast field of the famous Douglas coal for future opera-
■ tions. The number 1 >Jhaft, of 18 feet diameter, is being put down on the Espla-
nade, where the Diamond Drill proved tho seam to be 10 feet in thickness of
good hard coal. From this shaft or pit the Douglas seam can be worked throughout
i its area, and it is expected that the output from No . 1 shaft will commence in the
I winter of 1882-3, The Douglas Coal is of excellent quality for housn, steam and
i gas-making purposes. It yields over 10,U00 cubic feet of gas per ton; has an illumi-
I uating power of 16 candles, and produces a good coke. An analysis exhibits high
I percentages of carbon and volatile matter with only a moderate proportion of ash.
j The Douglas mines are worked by slope with powerful winding engines, capable of
hoisting 5U0 tons per diem. At the No. 1 shaft a pair of 30 inch horizontal winding
I engines 5 feet stroke, with winding drum 14 feet diameter, with steam brake and
i pumping gear, will be erected, having a capacity of hoisting 1000 tons per shift of 8
I hours . Safety hookb or brakes will be attached to the cages and every precaution
will be adopted for preventing accidents. A railway has already been constructed
of 8teel rails flange section, 56 lbs, per yard, along the Esplanade from No, 1 shaft
to the wharves, so that no delay will occur in placing the output on board ship.
The Chase River railway of 4 feet 8 inches gauge of steel reversible rails
weighing 52 lbs. per yard, substantially constructed, connects New Douglas Mine
with the Douglas line to Nanaimo shipping wharves. The Company have 3 locomo-
tives and a complement of Hopper coal cars, for transporting coal to the seaboard .
At their wharves the cars containing over 5 tons each are placed over a shute lead-
ing to a vessel's hatch, the door in the bottom of the car is opened and the coal de-
posited in the hold . The shutes are raised and lowered to suit the tides. When
the abate is low the cars are let down by a brake pulley and brought up by a back
balance. The Company have facilities for loading and shipping 1000 tons a day,

Ship Building. — The facilities for shipbuildinficat Nanaimo are manifest, and
indeed as far back as 1859 Dr, Benson (a former resident) built a fair sized schooner,
the Alpha, upon the site of the present ship yard. Of late, C. Carpenter lias em-
barked in ship building in nil its branches, and has this year successifully built and
launched a very fine vessel.
Thr Nanaimo BRKWEitY, ,T. Mahrer, proprietor, is located in Mill street, and
was established in 1879. Its capacity is 30,000 gallons per year, nud the beer brew-

WELLINGTON DESCRIPTIVE.
Tbk Wkllinqton Collieries. — Departure Bay, situated aome three milen to
the north of Nanaimo, is one of the picturesque inlets off the Gulf of Georgia, New-
castle and Gnbriola Islands lying to the eastward of its entrance, near the northern
shore of which are two small islands. The water is of such uniform depth that no
buoys are necessary, and vessels can lie with safety in any part of the bay. On the
south western shore with Mouut Benson in the back ground, is the rebidence of Mr.
Jauies Duusniuir, the manager of the shipping department of the Wellington col-
lieries, the firm being known as Duusmuir, Diggle & Co., but which is now compos-
ed of Mr. Robert Dunsmuir, who is the head manager and stnior partner He re-
sides nt Nanaimo, which is three miles distant from Departure liiiy. Mr. Wadhara
Neston Diggle is also a partner in the firm, the other members having disposed of
their interest in it ' The area of land owned by the company contains about 5000
acres, the Wellington coal field lying to the north west of the Vancouver mine; the
boundaries constitute an irregular outline but the land lies in one compact block.
The mines are known as north and south Wellington, for though adjacent to each
other, they are in a measure distinct, each having its own loading wharves and rail-
way lines on opposite sides of the bay . The mine at North Wellington, or Welling-
ton proper, was the scene of the inception of the enterprise, and was discovered in
1869 by Mr. Robert Dunsmuir, one of the present owners. The coal is of the de-
scription known as hard bituminous. On the northern shore of the bay are the head
quarters of the company in a neat office furnished with telephone communication
with the mines and iilso with Nanaimo, which allows access to the telegraph line.
A narrow gauge railway from the Wellington mine runs to the loading wharves, and
round about are the cottages of the employees, blacksmiths' and joiners' shops and
in connection with the railway track the extensive coal bunkers. One of these lately
erected has a capacity of 100 tons and two others united hold 1700 tons. They are
filled from a platform on a level with the track and some 35 or 40 feet above the
wharves.
From the wharf running along the water front, extend, at different angles
three loading wharves, respectively 400 ft., 800 ft., and 300 ft. in length, and capa-
ble of shipping 1000 tons of coal in 10 hours.
The company employ two large steamers, the Barnard Castle, 2200 tons and
the Hilton Castle, 1700 tons, and also the powerful tug Alexander of 331 tons. The
large steamers make two trips to San Francisco every month.
Thk Narrow Gauge Railway, which runs from the loading wharves out to the
Wellington mine is i% miles in length, the gauge being 2 ft. 6 in. It is furnished
with 2 four wheeled locomotives of the English highway type, geaied with an end-
less chain, weighing f '^ons each; and two of the Baldwin tank or shunting engines,
weighing 12 tons each, also 10r> coal cars. The mine is about three miles south of
the bay, but from the wharves' a considerable ascent has to be overcome, and in the
first third of the distance, the line has to make a long loop or overlap. The ascent
is of course made with empty cars going out to the mines, and the descent with full
ones returning.
The Wellinoton Mine. — The mining village of Wellington contains about
100 miner's houses built along the ridge on the north, and among them the resi-

dence of Mr. Bryden, the colliery manager. Gloae to the track extends the loup;
range of coal bunkers where the cars are loaded, capable of holding 7C0 tons. The
mine is entered by a slope 850 yards long, the month of which is in the ravine to the
sonth, and from it extends an incline built upon timbers up to the coal bunkers and
the engine house. The miners hire Chinese to load their cars, which are brought
by mules and Chinese runners to the month of the slope by the company, and there
attached to the wire cable running from the engine house. The power employed is
an horizontal engine with two cylinders 12 in. diameter and 5'ft 6 in. stroke, sup-
plied by 3 boilers 24 ft. by 2 ft. diameter. In the rear of the engine house is a small
machine shop. About 550 tons are brought out in a shift of 8 hours. The number
of miners employed is 170 exclusive of Chinese assistants. The mine is drained in
connection with No. 2 shaft, south Wellington. A short distance off there is an up-
cast shaft for ventilation.
A Nkw Powdkb Magazine, 40 ft. by 26 ft. uf solid mnHonry with a vaulted and
cemented roof, has lately been erected at the extremity of the village, a precaution
rendered necessary by occasional fires in the woods.
Tbk Manager's Offiok, &c , is near the head of the incline, ;and there are also
carpenters' and blacksmiths' shops, and two boarding houses, the rate for board being
$22 per month ; and a short distance from the village to the south east on the turn-
pike road, is the Wellington hotel, kept by Thomas Wall . Travellers will also find
accommodation at Departure Bay, at the Bay saloon, kept by Joseph Harper.
Institutions, &c. — In the villnge there is a population of about 1000. The
Methodists have a church, of which the Rev. Wm. Sexsmith is pastor. The school
htac tbout 100 pupils. The Good Templars have just erected a fine new hall of two
stories 70 ft. by 28 ft. The miners have a Sick and Accident. Mutual Benefit Socie-
ty, supported by themselves with occasional donationsfrom the company. Dr .Jones
is the colliery doctor, and there is also one general store, the company having no
store, bui simply paying their men in cash.
From the Wellington mine it would be easy to pass down the road into South
Wellington, about half a mile distant, but it is preferable to commence the descrip.
tion from the harbor.
South Wkixinoton MiNiS.~At the south east corner of the Bay are the ex"
tensive shipping wharves of th" South Wellington mine. The main wharf extending
out from the almost perpendic alar bank above, in 608 ft, long and 22 ft. wide, the
T being 355 ft. long and 21 ft. wide. There is als.i a branch diverging at an angle
from the commencement of the main wharf running northward some 100 ft. long, be-
low which is supported a temporary staging along which ballast can be run from tije
ships. The high bank above is reached by a long incline, with a double track lead-
ing to the level of the narrow guage railway, the loaded cars descending, hauling up
the empty ones. There are also coal bunkers under the bank with a capacity of 400
tons.
The Nabbow Oauor Railway which makes a considerable circuit thron^rli the
woods to the mines, is about i% miles long, and unlike the Wellington ronH the
track is pretty much on a level. The plant consists of one locomotive uud 5!^ .')-ton
cars. At the terminus of the line is a large engine house containing nii bori/oi htl
engine with two 14 inch cylinders of 4 ft. stroke. A little beyond are two steep in-
clines built of timber, one in a right line with the track, and the other diverpiu).' at
an acute angle. The wire cable from the engine house can be applied to either in-
cline for the purpose of raising or lowering full or empty cars. The incline in the
direction of the main track leads to shaft No, 2, and the other one to the new shaft
No. 3. At the bottom of the ravine there are the scattered cottages of the miners,
blacksmiths' and joiners' shops, and the engine houses and tall grimy hoisting frames
at the mouths of the different

SHAFTS.
No. 2 shnft, Hoinewhere nbont the centre of the locality, is 150 feet deep, nud
near it is n large en^^iiie houne, coiitninii)gnn horizontal hoisting engine with two 12
inch cj-liuders and 3 feet Btroke, the tioiler houne being in the rear of same building.
A short distance off is No, 3, a new shaft not long since opened, and which is now
down some 2(10 feet. The hoisting power is supplied by a temporary portable en-
gine of 20 horse power, but near by are two new boilers 24 feet by 4^ set in mason-
ry, to supply the new »ngine, (a duplicate of that of No. 2 shaft) soon to be erected.
Adjacent is a large two st'>ry building containing the ventilating fan at the mouth
of an upcast shaft, driven by steam power. It may hero be stated that there is no
connection between No. 2 and No, 3 shafts, each being on its own resources. No. 4
shaft is a new one, situated on the slope of the ravine about 700 yards to the east
of No. 3, the engines of which are dunlieutes of those at No. 2 The adit level lies
to the west of No. 3 shaft, and as its name implies, th^coal is hauled out on a level,
and the mine drains itself, the only power required being ajsmali engine.
Thk Pumping Apparatus. —In connection with the mines generally are 5
steam pumps, and a .short distance along the road leading to Wellington, is a pump-
ing shaft with boiler house adjoining which diaius No. 2 South Wellington and the
vVelliugton mine itself . The sliaft contains three steam pumps to which steam is
conveyed from the boilers above ground. These pumps have been added from time
to time to meet tht requirements of the mines, A little further up the road, Wel-
lington is again reached, passing by the tall upcast shaft which ventilates No. 2
South Wellington, and also the Wellington mine as already alluded to. The output
300 tons
Thk Numbkr or Men employed at South Wellington is about 150, and the
number of miners 80. The underground superintendent is Mr. James Haggert. The
locality contains about 50 houses, but it relies for its benevolent and literary insti-
tutions and its church on Wellington proper.
Facts Bkoardino thk Collirry. — The company are working from a common
centre and radiating in various directions, and so far have met with few faults. One
of the seams worked is 10 feet in thickness. The safety lamp is not required for
working purposes, but only for inspection before the men enter and after they leave
the mine in the evening.
If the demand were sufficient the company have shipping facilities for 1500
tons per day, though the present output is only 850 tons— 550 tons ior Wellington
and 300 for South Wellington. The home consumption is about 11,000 tons yearly,
and a foreign market is found in San Francisco, and Wilmington, Gal., China, and
the Sandwich Islands.
The company employ 600 men, about 200 of whom are miners, English,
Scotch, Italian, etc., and in addition to these there are a number of mechanics, en-
gineers, blacksmiths, machinists, etc. There are also, besides those employed by
the miners, a considerable number of Chinese employed by thj company as laborers,
track repairers, and for handling the cars on the loading wharves and discharging
coal into vessels. Mules are chiefly used about the mines, with the exception of
three or four horses, the number being 26.
Wages, ktc— The firm pay their men monthly. The miners are paid at the
contract price of 75cts per ton, and their earnings amonnt to from $3 to $4 50 per
day. White laborers earn $2 per day, mechanics from $3 to $3 50, and Chinese la-
borers from $1 to $1 25 per day. The total output of coal for 1881 was 181,048 tons.
The Farm.— The company have a farm of 100 acres, where they raise feed for
their own animals, as hauling the same to the mines would be very expensive.

iuR Kronnd for shipM. fioowe Hpit extending, in a Hemicircnlar form, from the Hand
HilU at Capo Lazo westward forms n natiinil breakwater. In the ahclter of this
spit aiauds a very aommodioua wharf.
The Electoral Diatrint extends from the Qiialionnt River as far north as there
are any aettlera, and includes the Islands Denman and Hornby, separated from Van-
couver by Daynes Hound. The former is Vi miles lon^ and 3 wide, the latter con-
tains about one half the area of the former, both of which are very productive. The
Courtenay River, a flue stream, empties into Port Au^^uata, ana on the banks of a
tributary of this river, euul was first discovered in 1864, by a man named Brown,
the stream now being known as Drown River. The settlement is at present almost
exclusively an agricultural district and contains within its borders a number of
excellent farms, wheat, oats, barley, and general dairy produce, raised in this part
of Vancouver Island, are noted for their superior qualtity; fruits of all the hardier
kinds thrive.
About 3 miles from the wharf there are very extensive logging camps, and
the trees in the neighborhood being chiefly p'ne of the flnest kind; this is a favorite
spot for logging timber for the Cowichan and Victoria mills .
For beautiful and varied scenery Comox and its vicinity is unsurpassed on the
East Coast. On the West, at a distance of from 10 to 20 miles, tower the lofty, and
craggy peaks of the Beaufort range of mountains. The foot hills and valleys, be-
tween them and the salt water are clothed with the flnest timber, Hpruce. Pine and
Cedar, whilst the prairie lands in the neighborhood of the Courtenay and Isolim
Rivers, cannot for agricultural purposes, be excelled.
The principal river is the Courtenay. which flows out of the Puutluch Lake, a
beautiful sheet of water 9 miles long and from 1 to 2 miles wide, situated in the
Bedford Valley. Its water teems with trout of (he finest kind, affording rare sport
to the angler, whilst near by, valleys and mountains offer to the sportsman game of a
larger kind, black bear, elk, and deer.
Pnntluoh Lake is destined some day to become the centre of great activity.
Saw mills, eash and door factories will be run ei&ciently and economically liy the
water power which now goes to waste. The manufactured articles can l>e flunied to
the point of shipments, as is done in California and many other parts of the world
Parties wishing to visit the Lake can leave the wharf and proceed by road as
far as Pidcock's Bridge, a distance of 3 miles, thence by trail 6 miles A horse can ,
in the summer time, be taken the whole of the way, but in wet weather the swamps
would render this impracticable .
The Cruikshank is the largest of several streams emptying into ' this lake, it

hnve frequently struck ^uld in small quantities, nnd there is little doubt that with
perseverance and experience, fair pay would be obtained, as there nre good in-
dicatiuna in this part of the country.
According to many scientific and practical men, Comoz is the coal field of
British Columbia, coal seams are to be seen cropping out on the banks of the di£fc)r-
ent streams from Deep Bay to Oyster Bay, but coal mining, as well as other indus-
tries, has been retarded by the fact that a groat portion of the land in Comox District
is held back from sale, being retained by the Government as a railway reservation.
But for this serious drawback the district would have been more densely populated,
and its manifold resonrces developed.
The Iron Mines and marble quarries of Texad.i are in close proximity to Port
Augusta, and there is every reason to believe that iron ore ooulil be shipped to Co-
mox to be smelted and thus supply the rails for railroad purposes ns well as iron and
steel for engines and other machinery. . Copper is abundrnt at Howe's Sound, and
Comox would be a most convenient spot for smelting works.
The town of Comox is situated at Port Augusta, near the outlet of the Courte-
nay river, and contp'lus all necessary conveniences for settlers and travellers. Ho-
tels, stores, post office, blacksmiths and wagon making shops, &c, District school,
and churches R H. Piduock's siiw mill is three miles from Comox. on the Conrte-
uay river. The mill is run by a turbine water wheel of 4") horse power. The set-
tlement is certainly an excellent one, containing a thriving and industrious com-
munity and all those who have visited the beautiful Comox \.i' v, as well as the
people who make it their home, are satisfied that after a more frequent mail service
has been established, and hor coal mines developed, and an opportunity thus given
for procuring a better market for product , that Comox district will then become one
of the favorite agricultural sections of Vancouver Island.

NEW WESTMINSTER CITY,
199
NEW WESTMINSTER DESCRIPTIVE.
This city, the lar^'est on the Mainluiicl of British Columbia, is plennantly
situated on the right bank of thn Fra--er River, ii'oont 15 miles from the month in
Int. 49 deg. 12 m. 47 s. N.. long. 122 rleg. 53 in. 20 s \V. Lower Langley, otherwise
Derby, had ni first been adopted as the principal seaport town and capital (Van-
couver Island being then A seperate Colony) for the Mainland, but owing to its
numerous advantages, the site of New Westminster was finally preferred. In May,
1859, Her Majesty was pleased to decide that the Capital of British Columbia
should be called Nuw Westminster. The seat of Government continued here u'ltil
1868, in the meantime the Colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia had
been united and tlie Legislature, by a iiiajoiity vote, removed the Capital of the
United Colony to Victoria, the present seat of Government.
The city is centrally situated, and occupies such a position as to Vie b. 'iefitted
by any prosperity that may accrue to any of the adjacent settlements. It is con-
nected with Burrard Inlet, the terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway, by several
roads, all more or less interesting, and so ue aflfording access to scenery of the
most attractive description. Among these may be specially mentioned the
Northeast road, which introduces the visitor to a view of the beautiful valley of
Pitt River, with the picturesque range of mountains beyond, and the sublime pe.ik
of Mount Baker, in Washington Territory, in the distance.
Various other drives are to be obtained through the country on the left bank
of the Eraser River, and the system of roads connecting the city with all the various
settlements constantly engages the attention of the Government and the several
rural municipnUties. The climate of New Westminster is remarkably mild and
pleasant, no sudden changes taking place and the nights being temperate; situated
in proximity to the mountains, no ague or other kindred disease exists.
The industries of the place rest chiefly upon farmin-;, lumbering, manufactur-
ing and salmon fishing, The last mentioned being the largest. To the fishing tour-
ist New Westminster presents great attractions. The lakes and streams in
the neighborhood, all eas' of access from the city, abound with trout of great excel-
lence. The neighboring streams have, as a rule, good banks free from under brush
and over-hanging limbs, and thus afford excellent opportunities for Hy fishing,
July and August are the months par excellence for this kind of sport. Bait fishing
and trolling with spoon may be had dnrinj^ most months in the year. To the lover
of the gun the surroundings of New Westminster present a field which, for the
variety of game, is seldom excelled and rarely equaled within a small area. On
the uplands two varieties of grouse, viz:— The Ruffed and the Blue, or Dusky
Grouse, are plentiful. Snipe, on the low lands at Matsqui, Langley and elsewhere
in the vicinity, afford excellent sport; while in the marshes at various points from
Sumas to Boundary Bay on the Gulf of Georgia, wild fowl are to be obtained in great
abundance with moderate exertion. Owing to the mildness of the winter
months the water fowl remain during that season in this neighborhood, and thus
the shooting is continuous from September till the following March.
The proximity of New Westminster to Burrard Inlet has induced a company
to appJy to the Legislature for a charter (which has been granted) for a branch line

jected line will nhoi ,ly be uiidt^rtiikcn. 'i uis enterpriHe, wiiich will add lurf^ely to thi
prosperity of New WeHtininnter, i« one tliiit reflects credit upon the energy and
busineHH cnpnoity of the citizens nnd will add nn element of snooeHs to the prospectH,
commeniiitl and otherwise, of the city and the Rnrronndin>^ country. The ronte for
this line is Hin^iilurly favorable, no obstacles existing, nor great en jjiiieerinR skill
beijij; re(]iiir('d for the constrnction. Railways liein.,' an iniiiortunt fiictor in this
day towards settling up and <;eveloping the resources of all countries, it is obvious
that connection with the Cana Man Pacific Railway is a great consideration, and
touching the Fraser River ni Maple Ridge on the same side of the
river as New Westminster, (where, no doubl, macliiix' shops and other
railway works will be establishiil) will assist this city in nniiieroiis ways The
distance (only twflverailes) ona nnvignlile river, is not sntHcit-nt to originate a town
or cjty at all in the character of a rival. On the contrary biisiinss will flow hither
through numerous channels and each place in the neighbin'hood will necessarily
prosper. Among the pulilic buildings worthy of note is the Provincial penitentiary,
a sightly stone structure, situated on a lofty eminence in the north-eastern portion of
the. city. Tl* surrounding grounds are carefully kept and a large auiountof clearing
has been done by the convicts, the forest has been changed into a garden and the
walks and fields connected with it testify to the amount of labor done and the taste
and skill exer<-ised to improve them.
The lunatic asylum, built by the Provincial Government, is a brick edifice
with stone corners and situated so as to have a fine view of the river. It presents
a commanding and Landsome ap|>i>araace, the smooth lawn like 'ront and the back
ground of evergreen trees adding very much to the eflfeft. The District Court
House is a neat wooden structure, very suitable, when l)uilt, for the purposes
which it was intended, but it now hardly atfords tlit^ requisite accommodation.
On the corner of Columbia and Mary siretts. in the central portion of the
city, a building is now in course of erection by the Dominion Government for the
useof the many branches of the Federiil Depailmeuts. It will l)e three stories in
height with a mansard roof, built of red brick with facings of free stone. It is in-
tended for use as a PostoflSce, Government Savings Bank. Telegraph Office, and
such jtuer Dominion ofUues as are required, with the exception of the Custom
House, which will still remain in the building originally provided for this purpose in
the time of the Crown Colony.
I'here are many neat and commodious private residences in the outskirts, and
a pleasing feature (lonnected with this town are the many well-kept flower gardens
and orchards that may be seen aiouuil. Much taste is displayed in keeping these in
the finest order, and the equability of the climate admits of the growth and ulture
of many ditfeient kinds of flowers and shnrbs All the fruits, large and small, com-
mon to the temperate climates, grow well (with perhaps the exception of Quinces
and peaches) and yield abundant crops. Apple aud pear trees bear well, when they
are three or four years old; indeed the fruit crop of New Westminster is a recogniz-
ed source of profit, aud forms by no means an unimportant source of revenue to those
engaged in this industry.
The soil is well adapted for the production of vegetables, and the kitchen gar-
dens compare favorably with those iij other parts of the world. The water is of the
best character, being obtained from living spi ings. Several private companies have
water-works in successful operation, for supi>lyiug the lower portion and business
part of the cii y Owing to the great fall froai the reservoirs situated on the higher
levels, a great advantage is obtained in the way of proiection from fire and the water-

NEW WESTMINSTER DISTRICT,
lu iioticiug tliiH (liKtrict in its entirety, wh ciiu perhaps do no liotter tlinu to
quote, ns applicable to tlie city of New Westminster the nucleus of the whole, tlic
following remarks officially rendered to the Ad iiirulty by Captain George H.
Biol.nrds, R N.. the result of his observations between the years 1858 and 1864, as
embodied in the "Vancouver Pilot:" •'Fraser River in point of magnitude and
present cjinin-'rcial importance is second only to the Coluniliia, on the N W, coast
of America. In its entire freedom from risk of life and shipwreek, it possesses in-
finite iidvantaijes ov^r any oth'T river on tht) coast and fhn cause of this immunity
from the daiig<'rs and incouvonieuees to which all gr.'nt rivers emptying themselves
on an exposed coast are subject, is sufficiently obvious A sheltered strait, scarcely
15 miles iicro^s, re reives its waters; an 1 the U'i^hborini^ island of Vancouver serves
MR a natural breakwater, preventing the possibility of any sea arising which would
prove dangerous to vessels, even of the smallest class." » * » » "
"New Westminster stands on the north or right bank of the Fraser, just above
the junction of the north fork audio miles in a general north-easterly dir'ctioii
fiom the entrance proper. It occupies a commanding and well-chosen position,
beinf.^ within an e.i-<y distance of the eutrau le au 1 hiving great facilities for wharf-
age along its water frontage, a good depth of water and excelhrnt anchorage. * *
* * * And when the facilit.es for eiiteriti'.,' the river and its capabilities aie better
known will no tioubt rise more r.tpidly into importance. The military establish-
ment, or camj) o.' the Royal Engineers, a niile above new Westminster, is a most
picturesque spot, commanding nn uninterrupted view of the (Queen's reach, a broad
deep and magnificient sheet of water-"
The district of New W estminster, however, apart from its central city, is of
varied interest and diverse capacity. The Delta lands, specially described in the
following pages, are productive in tht! extreme— more so, possibly, than the modesty
of our informants has encouraged them to assert. There can be little doubt that,
with energetic and combined a> tion, a large area of these Delta lauds, extending
from the exit of th i 4orth iJr.i ii'h to the nei:»hoorh ooJ of tho boundary
line near Mud Uny, may be brought into cultivation with a soil of exuberant fertility.
Individual enterprise has already, to a certain extent, proved this fact; but to
achieve a result of general importance combination is indispensable. The day is
probably not distant when, either by governmental means or through privately con-
certed enterprise, the redemption of these valuable tracts for industrial occupation
will be more successfully undertaken
Above New Westminster, along the line of the Fraser tin re are other localities,
for instance Langley, Maple Ridge, Chilliwhack, and others which will be (!< s-
oribed — where great advantages of soil and other inducements are apparent. The
natives, it m.iy be mentioned, are throughout well disposed, fairly industrious, and
at all times willing, "for a consideration," to render assistance to the traveller who
may appear among them . The progress of the works incident to the construction
of the Canadian Pacific Railway has materially aided the settlers in this district —
a benefit shared, necessarily, with 'her portions of the Province, but here operat-
ing with perhaps more direct effect, ince the terminus of the railway at Fort Moody

situateil some thirteen miles North of the entraiice of Fraser river, having ft)r land-
marks, point Orey on the South and [xiint Atkinson on the North, on which lat-
ter ft revolving light is iilaced. The Inlet is tlie chief centre of the great lum-
ber interests of the M,;w Westminster district. The extensive saw mills of
Moody ville, ( Heiijamin Springer, manager) with a capacity of IVi thousand feet
per day, and those of the Hastings sawmill Company, (Richard II. Alexander,
manager,) with a capacity of (!(t thousand, being situated here. Of the ditl'erent
varieties of wood, which are manufactuiv-cl into lumber at these mills, we may mi'U-
tiou the two which make up the greater proportion, viz: Douglas tir (Ahicti liiHuilitsii)
am] cudnY {ThiiJdOiiiniitvd)- The former, which has gained a world-wide fame, for
is grjat strength and durability un lor all tests, is the stajjlo article of the lumber
trade on this coast, and is fortunately very abundant. This tree grows from one
hundred to three hundred feet high, and reach'?s a diameter of eight foet or more.
The principal ports of shipment are, Australia, South America, Chini, Japan, Sand-
wich Islands and South Africa. Besides sawn lumber, spars form no inconsiderable
part of the trade of this port.
Until within the last few years, no systematic attempt has been made to utilize,
as a protitable industry, the vast numbers of fish found in these waters. Ueeently,
however. an extensive establishment for procuring the oil frtmi herring, oolachaus and
other tish has been erected at Coal Harbor, by the Durrard Inlet Fishing Co, which
during the winter and spring mouths, give employment to quite n number of white
men and Indians. But this industry is only in its infancy ; and as salmon, halibut,
cod, whiting, smell and torn cod, are to be found here in no inconsiderable numbers,
with the increasing encoirrugeiuent for now enterprises which lanat necessarily fol-
low with increasing population, the export of fish, fish oil and fish guano, will
doubtless take a prominent place in the future trade of this port.
Although Burrard Inlet has for years played no second part ns an industrial
portion of British Columbia, it has. within the last year, received a new impetus,
from the fact that the terminus of the Canadian Pacitic Railway has been located
here; nnd the work of constructing the exten'^ive wharfs, bulk head and buildings

THE RICHMOND MUNICAPALITY.
The North Arm scttlenient. brondly speakinK, inohides that part of New
Westminster District bounded on the west by the Gnlf of Oeorgin, on the south by
the South Arm, or main channel of the Fraser, on the east by an imaginary line
crossing the Eraser at right angles about three mileti below the city, and running
from the South Arm channel to a point between Fraser River and Burrard Inlet and
on the north by a line from thnt point n. an average distance of one miU from the
river to the Uuif of Oeorgia. If we trace these lines on the map of New Westmin-
ster District, we will have the outlines of what has been familiarly known as the
"North Arm," almost since the first settlement of the country. It will be observed
(hat the settlement includes nearly the whole of Lulu Island (which, separating the
North and South Arms of the river, forrus the true Delta of the
Fraser) Sea Inland (which sub-divides the North Arm into a north and
south channel), and a strip of the mainland along the north bank of
the river. A few years ago the settlement was incorporated under the name of
"The Municipality of Richmond." The district is pear-shaped, the base resting on
the Oulf, and the apex reaching within about three miles of the city of New West-
minster. It has a breadth at its broadest part jot from seven to eight miles, and an
extreme length of about eleven tniles. Towards the upper or eastern end a good
deal of timber irt met with— alder, cedar, and pine— and along the North side, on the
mainland shore, the heavy growth of Douglas fir comes in some places to the very
brink of the river; but as you get nearer to salt water the timber becomes gradually
scarcer, and you see broad stretches of rich alluvial soil, with a sub-stratnm of clay;
dotted here and there with farm houses aud outbuildings. The growth of the
settlement has been somewhat retarded by the fact that, for a considerable time past,
all the land has been in possession of private individuals. Much of it was bought for
speculative purposes, and a large area, especially towards the npper or eastern end
of the settlement, and in the centre of Lulu Island, is still in a wild or anouUivated
state. On both banks of the river for some distanoe above the bead of Sea Island, and
along both shores of the two channels which sweep around that island to the Oalf
of Georgia, there are almost continuous chains of cultivated farms. On some of
these, thousands of dollars have been expended in building, dyking, fencing, &o.,
while others have only recently been brought under cultivation. The land which is
best situated, i. e., that which has a frontage on the river, is held at $25 an acre and
upwards; but that which lies back from the river, being less accessible, is to be
twught at a lower figure. As already stated, the soil is of superior quality. All the
cereals can be successfully grown, but oats and barley are the principal crops.
Wheat has not been extensively cultivated, but as much as sixty-two bushels of fall
wheat have been harvested from a measured acre. The hay crop is generally
heavy: three and a Lalf tons to the acre being not uncommon. From Howe Royd
farm, the proporty of S. Brighonse, the following yield has been produced— oats, 76
bushels per acre; wheat, 60 bushels per acre; hay, 3% tons per acre; all of which and
other crops have found ready sale at the following prices per ton : — Hay, $12
to $16; wheat. $40; barley, $30: potatoes, $30; white carrots, $10; red carrots, $16;
mangolds, $8.

Excellent beef is also raiRed.nnd n» a butter and obeeae produciug district, the
Hettlemeut is noted. But it is, perhaps, to the cnltivation of root cropH that these
delta lands are specially adapted. Evon with comparatively careless cultivation
enormous yields are realized, and au accurate statement of what the land will do in
this respect, would sound like romance, L>ing above the ordinary tide -level theHe
delta lands are not subject to overflow, save occasionally at high spring tides and
during the winter. This overflow rarely exceeds a few inches in depth and its
extreme duration is an hour or two at a time It follows, of course, that corapitrii-
tively small and cheaply constrncted dykes afford tho farmer ample security.
Indeed the cost of throughly dyking a farm on these lauds would be much less than
the cost of clearing a farm in the ' bush."
As already stated, the greater part of the settlem>*nt is included in the Muni-
cipality of Uichmoiid. whicit has all the ordinary municipal machinery in full work-
ing order. Taxation is liiiht and the revenue about $2,000 per annum, is expended
on local improvements. There i^ some talk of cutting a canal through Lulu Island,
partly to afford wat"r frontage . /arms which do not border on the river, and partly
to provide a short and easy w . rway between the North and South Amis of the
Fraser. 8neh a caual would b a very convenient thing for the settlers generally;
but it would be especially valuab.e to the salmon fishing fleet and probably lead to
the establishment of a number of new canneries on the North Arm of the Fraser.
The settlement has a post office (which by the way, is called "North Arm," so that
letters intended for it should be so addressed) and has a mail service once a week to
and from New Westminster. Being an island settlement the residents depend
almost entin-ly upon the river for their means of intercommunication and the river
is also their' main highway. There is, however, a very good rohd from a point
on the north bank of the river nearly opposite the head of Sea Island, to Granville>
Burrard Inlet, distant six miles— and there is also a rough road, or bridle-path,
leading up the same bank to New Westminster.
There are two salmon canneries in the municipality, namely: — I'he Rich-
mond Canning Co., established March, 1882, occupying a substantial building 200x50
feet, employing 200 men and 20 boats. The product being known as ihe Horse
Shoe brand; capacity .500 cases per day. English & Co 's North Arm Cannery is
situated in this district, established 1882. proprietors M. M. English and S. B.
Martin, employing 35 boats and 31)0 men; daily capacity 1000 cases, known as the
Phoenix brand. The municipality also boasts, so far. of^a cheese factory and one
public building, a Town Hall,. (used* also as the public school) which is centrally
situated on the north shore of Lulu Island. On the Mainland shore, and, therefore,
just outside the limits of the municipality is a church, which is used in turn by the
ministers of three different denominations.
The resident population is a little under 200. The general character of the
settlement is an enviable one. Its people are eminently peaceful and law-abiding,
and have a reputation for hospitality, neighborliness and unanimity in public mat.
tera. To the sportsman and tourist the settlement does not offer any special
inducements. During the fall and winter,' however, wild geese and ducks abound
along the sloughs, and, after harvest, in the stubble fields and on the north or
Mainland shore of tho river, deer and grouse are tolerably plentiful, and bear and
panthers are to be met with occasionally. There, too, rabbits are becoming quite
numerous. Perhaps no district in British Columbia has been more uniformly or
steadily prosperous than this. It would be easy to make quite a list of names of
settlers who, beginning with little capital, are now in comfortAble. or more than

Westminster, Burrard Inlet and Nanaimo, the settlers have always a market for their
produce. With such advantages of situation, with a soil wonderfully fertile and
practically inexhaustible, and an equable and health-giving climate, it is easy to
foretell a prosperous future for thb North Arm settlement.

DELTA MUNICIPALITY;
This highly important asricuUnrnl and pastoral section of the district of New
Westrainatfr occupies that portion of the South Arm of the Fraser River that extends
from the Municipality of Surrey on the East to the Oulf of Oeorgin on the West, em-
bracing within ita borders some of the finest land on the Pacific coast, the section
being noted for the remarkable fertility of its soil. The settlemeut comprises about
40,000 acres of rich delta land of deep black earth with a clay bottom, yielding sur-
prising crops of timothy hay, oats, barley, wheat, and fruit; also dairy produce in
abundance. From harvested crops at Bay View (the property of Mr. J. McKee, sen.,
J. P..) and other well known farms, the yield per acre is about as follows:
Wheat. 40 bushels; oats, 60 to 65; barley, 40; timothy hay, 2y, to 3% tons; turnips,
40 to 50 tons. In adddition to what the cultivated fields of the delta produce, there
is an immense growth of wild grasses, such as red top, bunch grass, clover, &o., af-
fording ample feed for cattle, and only on occasional winters do stock require extra
feeding. There is a good wagon road extending from East to West through the dis-
trict, connecting New Westminster city, Surrey and Langley Municipalities with sev-
eral side roads leading in various directions, and a number of navigable sloughs, ail of
whirh afford excellent facilities for shipment of the produce from the farms. But
little timber is found in this section, and as far as the eye can see there is nothing to

interrnpt the night except au oooaRional oluHter of Br. .willow, alder and orabapple,
preHenting to the viaion the aame general aapert aa the whole lower Fraser country,
viz. one vast flcid of fine pr.iirie land. The farms in thia neighborhood have prin>
cipally been aottled on during the Inat decade, consequently in addition to the gene-
ral routinp nf farm work, the iuduitrions aettler of thia district finds ample labor in
erecting houHea and barns, draining the laud, and ploughing the virgin soil. This
section is similarly situated to Richmond and Surrey Municipalitie*; the lands re-
quire draining, and in some places the erecting of dykes from 2 to 3 feet in height.
In so doing the farmer not only drains his land but can alao do with less height of
fence, as the earth thus thrown up from the ditches, with the addition of one or two
rails ou top. serve the double purpose of fence and drain. Overflows from the Era-
ser are unknown, excepting to u very small degree, and then only taking trifling ef-
fect on funus in the immediate neighborhood of the banks of the river, and in muny
instances the overflow adds to the yield of hay and other produce lutber thuu other-
wise.
Wild Fbctits — ThH cr:iul>erry and bine berry are found in great abundance;
a tract of nuurly SUOU acres being one vast tield of these delirious wild fruits. Ou
the hills are fo md the blackberry and thimbleberry ; the orabupplc of ihu lower lands
sometimes being used for jellies.
Qamk is abundant, especially wild fowl, which gather here in vast numbers,
late in the fall. The Canada goose, the white aud the crow goose, mallard duck, pin
tail, and other well kuown varieties, ufibrd rare sport for the lover of the gnu, Aslurgis
a numbei as 25 uruoe of mallards have been killed by a sportsman in a day. Bear
and (!eer are plentiful in the hilly regions, the former being the sm.iU black species,
and perfectly harmless, unless under unusual oircumshiuces.
The roads afford charming drives, surrounded with scenery cf the grandest
description; a more pleasant trip cannot be taken than onu along the beautiful roads
and bays of this section. Boundary Bay is situated on the soiiiberu boundary of the
settlement, in which the tide ebbs and iowi a distance of between 3 and 4 miles;
the sand on the beach being exceedingly hard, makes it an excellent resort for driv-
ing or riding.
There are two churches in this section, viz . . an Episcopal and Presbyterian,
both of which are very pretty structures There is aiso a public school house, with
resident teacher.
The main outlet of the settlement is Ladner's Landing, so called after one of
the pioneer settlers, who in years past saw the future value of the lauds in this
neighborhood, and located here. This place, as is usual with country town sites,
contains a church, post ofBce, general store, boarding bouse, and in addition to the
above the extensive cannery of the Delta Fishing Co. There is a free wharf for the
accommedtttion of the settlers, at which the regular mail steamer from New West-
minster, distant 15 miles up river, and Victoria on Vancouver Island, aboat 60 miles,
calls twice a week, and other steamers plyiug up and down the river daily. The
scene at this pioneer town is at times quite brisk, the shipping of salmon on one hand,
and the yield from the numerous farms on the other, presents an unusna sight,
consisting, as it does of two commodities so vastly difPerent from each other.
/ The following canneries are situated in this municipality : . ' ' i. h
Delta Canning Co., consiBting of extensive buildings, wharf, boats, and all
appliances for carrying on the work of oauning salmon, employing 300 to 400 per-
sons, their braud being registered as the Maple Leaf.

This whole lower Fraser country is destined in the near future to amply fulfil
the name given it, "That it is the garden of British Columbia, " and to one seeking
a home among a thriving and industrious people, with land of exceeding richness, in
which every acre is u garden within itself. No more inviting spot can he found
than the Delta of the Fraser.

THE SURREY MUNICIPALITY.
Lying between thn oorporntions o5 Lanp;ley, Fraser River, and Delta, extend-
ing froin Frn.ier River to tliu luteruatioual Boumliiry Line of 49 deg., North lat.,
oontr.ins wiihiu itH limits the importaut and growing aectlemont known as Hall's
Prnirie. Clover Viillay and Mnd Ray, ci>u»i4tiu;{ of about one hnndred and twenty
square miles, hts many ^ood roadn. an'( two navigable rivers, namely. The Serpen-
tine and Nicoinekl. which discbarge into Mud Hay, Vessplq of a large size can
ascend the Nioo:nekl for a1) >ut ten mil'"< fro n itn mouth. The Serpentine though
somewhat mi'-row, has suffl-iept depth of \vnte>; to ullow vt sselsjdrawing about six
feet to ascend a disttinuK of '.>ight tniles. At present, however, bridgt-s span both
these rivers and stop the navigation for any distance up stre am. It is to be hoped
that before lo'.g these structures will be provided with a draw each, so as n6t to
interfere with .he free navigation of both streams, the vulae of which can hardly be
overestimated to settlers along (hcit- banks.
Hall's Prairif. is situated tibout three miles inland, on Cauipbell River,
which empties into Semiahmoo Bay, about one mile from the Boundary Line. A
fairly psssable road connects it with salt-water, and also another road lends to and
from the Hope wagon road. Hall's Prairie, a rich tract ot prnirie land, is high and
dry, and not subject to overflow. The surface of thn land as of the surrounding
bush country, is rolling, which allows drainage as easily and inexpensively as such
work can be done anywhere. This prairie was' bought up many years ago, and is
held at the present time, principally by non-residents. The tiutber land in this
settlement is, however of a very superior quality, and is owned and settled on. The
clearing not being of a hard character, the settlers have made good progiess and in
almost every quarter section may be found a number of acres cleared and improve-
ments of all kinds well under way. The soil of this section is adapted for the produc-
tion of all kinds of grain and root crops; notably potatoes. Wm Brown raised off
a few acres the enormous quantity of sixty tons, being a yield of about ten tons to the
acre. ^Jp to the present time the settlers have confined themselves principally to
root crops, but the day is not far distant when, with its floar and saw mills, a
necessity in all new countries, Bali's Prairie will help t supply British Columbia
with home grown and home manufactured flour and feed. Iw is bat fair to say of
this settlement that before long it will rank among the most productive and import-
ant in this section of the Mainland.
Glovbb Vaixkt is one of the most thickly settled sections of Surrey . It takes
Ita name from the- great quantity of clover found growing wild throogbont thig
section. The land, though timbered, is easily cleared, being light cotton wood and
alder, with here and there a bunch of willow bushes. The alder and oottou wood
are nearly all dead, which makes the clearing. of the land light work, compared with
^he clearing up of the green timber, the stumps come out easily, and when the
clearing is done the field is smooth and clean enough to run a reaper over. Tb.e soi^
is clayey loam and produces wheat of a very flue quality; also, oata and barley .
Vegetables and root crops of all kinds do well and aft easily cultivated. There are
also prairie or grass lands which lie at the head of the Mnd Bay, which famish
the settlers in this seo1;iou with pasture for their stock in vhe samoier. The grass
when'cut makes very good winter feed for cattle. Beiuig able to out what wild hay

they need cnablea settlors to oaltivate the land they clear up, which is a very great r.d-
vantage in commencing a now farm in a timber oonntry. The Nicomekl river
passes ak ng the south side of this settlement, and is destint^d to carry at au early
day the trade of thi.i section. It alno furnishes the settldment with whatever quan-
tity of salmon or trout they :nay desire. There are also large numbers of deer and
bear; the last named species proving themselves troublesome neighbors by thjir
bad habits of m^kinif their breakfast or supper, as the case lu ly be, off any stray pig
that comes within their reach. Rniiu will soon be compelled to retreat to a place
in keeping with bis habits, as every year his shelter is becoming less, owing to
the progress made in clearing up and cultivating the land. It is expected that a
school will he built here thin su nner, which mjit !\\i very materially to the pros-
perity and advancement of this important and beautiful section.
Mas Bat is a small sheet of water at the eastern extremity' of Boundary Bay.
Into it discharge the rivers Mioomdklaal83rp>ntiue, on which two rivHrs is situated
the settlement commonly known as the .Mud Bay Settlem jut. The agricultural laud
here is subject to tidal overflow. It is easily dyked, however, and when reclaimed
is without exception the most productive and rich land in the country. There are
abont ten thousano acres in the valley, which varies from two to two and a hal'
miles in width. The land, hovrever, is not of very uniform quality. Along the
banks of the river it is excelleut, easily drained, and having a fall of about two feet,
allowing ample chance to thoroughly drain th4 soil, but in towards the centre where
thert> is no natural drainage the land is peat, and, in many places, cranberry bog-
This can be subdued and made available for agriculture by a thorough system of
drainage, but the present time, and while there is much uncultivated land of ft bet-
ter q,uplity, it will not piy to spend time and capital in reclaiming these bogs. The
soil along the biy aud b-iakaof the rivers is of the m>st produoMve character, as high
as one hundred bushels of oats having been harvested off a sintjle acre of dyked land.
Vegetables of all kinds do well and grow to an enormous size, and as there is no
summer freshets, and the highest overflow from extreme high tides in winter not ex-
ceeding eighteen inches, it will be readily ULderstood that the reclaiming of these
lands is but light work. A.d lei to this the facilities for shipping produce afforded
by the two' rivers and it will be easily understood by all that this will, soon be one
of the most productive and important sections on the Lower Mainland.
Oamt of all kindsabound throughout and affords excellent sport for the bunts,
man during the fall and winter months. Slud Bay itself is renowned for its oysters
and shell fish of all kinds. A company from New Westminster have obtained lease
of the oyster beds here and intend cultivating them. The Bay is also the great sein*
ing grouna for the Eraser Eiver fisheries in the fall. Many t**!ousand oohoes (sal-
mon) are taken here every fall and shipped to the Eraser Uiver canneries, some of
which draw no inconsiderable amount of their supply of fall fish from Mud Bay.
A postoffice has been established at the residence of Wm. Woodward, of Mud
Bay last winter, and the Local Government propose to place a steam ferry on Eraser
Biver between Browuville and New Westminster, thus connecting Surrey with its
principal source of supply and market. Thei<s are, also, two extensive fisheries
in operation within the limits of the corporation. (See New Westminster city gen-
eral p-ogresa.)
Surrey was incorporated as a Mun'cipality in 1880, all taxes collected by the
Gonnoil are laid out in improvements of roads, bri ges, etc., throughout the Muni-
cipality.
In common with its neighbors, Langley and Delta,Surrey is advancing rapidly
and in the near future must become a prosperous and wealthy district.

THE MAPLE RIDGE MUNICIPALITY.
The MnaioipHlity of Maple Bidge. is aitanted on the riRht bank of Fraaer riv-
er opposite to the municipality of Langley, in the electoral district of New Westmins*
ter. It extends from the Pitt river (which is abont six miles from the city of New
Westminster) to Stave river, in all a distance of aboot sixteen miles.
On account of its many advantages and its healthy climate, the mnnioipality
haa become a place of importance. He who delights in landscape scenery can here
by looking towards the east see the Cascade range beautifnlly bronght to view, while
above the whole is seen Bf oant Baker rising in majesty above the doads. To the
North are seen the Golden Ears and their connected hills; at the base of which is
quite an extensive flat called the Pitt Meadows. There are a number of settlers in
Maple Bidge who are making for themselves good homes; for the land is generally
good, especially for dairy purposes, and is not subject to. overflow, except thn Pitt
Meadows for a short time during high water season. These nevertheless ape for the
greater part of the y^ta very useful as a place of pasture for the cattle of the neigh-
borhood.
There is a good deal of unoccupied land within the bounds of the municipality
which will soon, it is hoped, be thrown open for settlement. The soil will produce
good grain, such as wheat, oats, fto. , and also abundant root crops, but the farmers
are more especially carrying on the dairy business . The land is well adapted for the
raising of fruit trees cs is evidenced by the many thrving orchards throughout the
settlement. The Canadian Paciflc Bailway Line runs through the whole municipal-
ity and with its construction obvious advantages will ensue. In view of this the
value of land in this neighborhood has become greatly enhanced.
There is a good public school, kept open the whole; year under] an eiBcient
teacher. The church of England has a resident clergyman who holds service every
Sunday, and a church is abont to be erected that will accommodate all the neigh-
borhood. The Boman Catholics have a oharoh a. Port Haney in which servipes are
held ocotisionally. There is also a Methodist church in which Methodist and Pres-
byterian services are held on alternate Sundays. Thus in a religious and education-
al point of view there cannot be found in the province a country district more high-
ly favored than Maple Bidge.
Port Haney is the plaoe chosen for the railway station, and will soon it is ex-
pected become a village of seme importance. All the steamboats in going up and
down the river generally stop here, A numbfir of steamers are now running to and

THE LANGLEY_Ml]NICIPALITY.
Langley Municipality is flitnated on the nouth Hide n1 the Fraser, and its land
ing place, Fort Langley, m 17 miles from New WeHtiqinster by the river. It has a
river frontage of about 10 miles, and extends back to wit!tin 2 milos of Washington
Teriifory. It has been justly rejifnrded us presenting an attractive field. Notwith-
stiinding itHrem>itHUPss from the rest of Ciiniidn, its comparative inaccf ssibility to
European emigrnnts. and the conRcqnent expense of reaching it No fewer than 140
lots of 160 acres each have been bought Few, however, of those who have pur-
chased laud reside on it. The strong inducenaents in the shape of high wages,
which prevail throughout the country draw them in (he meantime elsewhere.
Langley Mnnicfpality is drained by the Ralmon and Nicomekl rivers. I'hey
take their rise in the east of the municipality at points not far distant from each
other. The former, which drains the north side, flows north-we^t into the Fraser,
and issues a short distance below Fort Langley. The Nicomekl, which drains the
south side of the municipality, flows north and west, through Langley and Surr y
municipalities, and falls into the Gulf of Georgia near Point Roberts. Both abound
in trout, large and delicious. The Langley road runs through the middle of the
municipality, south-west from the steamboat lauding at Langley. to the Prairie
Schoolhonse (a distance of 6 miles) where it joins the New Westminster and Yale
road, 13 miles from New Westminster. Numerous by-roads and trails come out at
different points upon the main road from th? homes of the bush settlers, whose
houses, however, are not always visible from the road. Immediately on leaving
the steamboat landing, and going towards the prairie, there is a ridge of timber land,
a mile in width, through which fires from time to titne have passed, prostrating the
pine and cedar .f^iants of by-gone ages. A dense covering of bush (pine and vine
maple) has sinoe sprung up. These have already attained considerable size> and the
young pines are largely used for rafters in barn building Leaving this bush we
come out upon the Salmon Prairie, which is half a mile in width and extends In a
curved line to the banks of th? Fraser. It contains upwards of 2,000 acres of strong
rich land. It is presumable that at one time this prairie was the channel of the
Fraser, from which on the eastern extremity it is separated only by a low ridge.
The whole of this prairie is owned by farmers settled along its borders. During
Spring, early Summer and Autumn, it affords excellent pasture for their stock, large
quantities of prairie hay are also gathered. These flats present excellent induce-
ments to the huutsman. and are largely visited in the season by sportsmen from the
cities in quest of game, snipe and ducks are plentiful and ''the neighboring woodn
teem with grouse.
Passing frorf Salmon Prairie and still travelling southwards, numerous bush
farms come into view, presenting a neat and comfortable appearance. There is very
little green timber in the municipality. In dry seasons fires have travelled almost
ths-oughont the district, making fearful havoc of the forest trees and leaving only
blackened and ungainly stumps. In many places only here and there a tall pine or

ofdM- itands aniujared, having ewaped the oonflagratiou, at the Mma Uma aaoh
lot oontaina abnndant uaterUl for the pnrpoaea of fanoing, bailding, and alao for
favl. At the diHtanoe of %% miles from Fort Langley, there commenora what la
known aa the Hadaon Bay Gompany'a farm. It oontnina a large area of prairie
land of nure excellence, black loam with elay sal>soil. It ia devidml by the Luvjley
road into two nearly t-qoal parta. Ueaid>« ttie Hndaon Bay Company 'a Farm there
are upwards of a tbonaanii acraa of prairie land adjacent \fi it on the weat side. This
land is all held by actual settlers, is chiefly under, cultivation, and at the present
moment is liearing luxuriant crops of wheat and oats.
Betuming from the prairie to the Fon by the road, the scenery is truly
charming. There ia Mount Baker, in Washington Territory, away in the back
ground to the right, rearinit hia hoary head high above the intervening country,
and looking down from hia lofty seat in calm and dignified oompoanre upon the
soene beneath. Away in front of yon, and towards the left are the "Oolden Ears,"
commanding peaka in the ooaat range, appearing just at hand . Along the road on
•ither aide there is a richness of verdure, a wealth and profession of vegetation seN
dom equaled, and indicative of soil of extraordinary fertility. Biding along
the Langley road one can have little notion of what ■ is going on in the
bnah beyond. But suppose, for example, he turns aalde at Towel's farm, and ride
along the old telegraph trail towards New Westminster for 4 miles, he will pass a
series of bush farms, which show what intelligence and patient industry can accomp-
lish in reclaiming bush land. Most of the occupanta of these farms came hers
with little or no capital five or six yearn ago Single handed they have now 16, 30
and 8 J acrea under crop this aeasou— have comfortable homes— have oxen, cows,
hogs, fowls, and are free of debt.
Bush land here, when farmed with intelligence, will produce crops as good in
all respects as the prairie land. The two most advanctid and successful bush
farmers in the district who have some 87 and 46 acres of cleared bush land respec-
tively upon which grain of the flneat quality and other crops are abundantly raised .
The soil and climate of this district are especially adapted to the'^cnltivation of hay,
roots, and the common kinds of fruit, as apples, pears, plums, cherries, currants,
fte. , moreover the gross hoppers, potato bugs, army worms, which are so destructive
to crops iu many places, and so disheartening to the fame so far unknown here.
To the iAexperienced timber land may appear somewhat formidable. But to men
with wise heads, strong hands, brave hearts, suitable appliances, and who have had
some expfrienoe, in clearing timber land elsewhere, the bushes is not
repulsive. The climate is mild and highly salnbriona, greatly
resembling that of the Booth of England and the North-west departmenta of
France. It is happily exempt from those violent extremes which are so injurious
to health in many localities. The religions wants of the oommnnity are well pro-
vided for. There is a sprinkling of Soman Catholics, who are periodically visited
by the Priests of their church who reside at St. Mary's. Mission and New Westmin-
ster. There are alao a few Episcopalians, who are ministered to every third Sunday
by a Church of England Licentiate, stationed at Maple Bidge. Methodists enjoy
the regular services of minister* of their own denomination from. New Westminster.
Presbyterians jonstitute the majority of the settlers. A minister in connection with
the Church of Scotland haa been stationed here for upwards of 7 years, and con-
ducts divine Service in Langley every Sunday forenoon, and at either Maple Bidge
or Mud Bay in the afternoon. There is a amall Presbyterian Church at Fort Lang-
ley. The utmost harmony and good will seems to «^t among the dilTerent sects.

on the WeKt by LxiuKK-y mid Maplo Ridgif , on tbu Sooth by tha -lOtb parallel, on the
£iiHt by tbti eaatern line of the N . W. DiHlriot. and on the North by the luonntain*
of the coaat range .
Jnat at tha extreme enHtern Hiuit of th** aettlement ia the piiik, or rather peaks
of Gheam. one of the higheat mpontaius of the coast range, riainK abruptly from the
river jnat where the F.aaer, which, np to this time, baa .«pread with many windings
and brnnchea throngh tLe wide valley below, and is oorap/essed into one stream as
it enters the Coast range.
If the traveller were to olimb this mountain, a trip which would well repay
him were he hunter, botanist, or lover of natural srenery, be wonll find that what
is called Gheam peak in really 7 mountain tops, one behind the o'ner, with beautiful
valleys between, full oi deep grass, and curious wild flowers ncattered over tbo coun-
try, with solitary groups of pine trees which afford ample fuel and shelter to the
tired traveller. He will also gain a better idea of the settlement than can he bad in
any other way. The mountains branch, or rather throw out two long spurs, one fol-
lowing the boundary line, the other more or less closely the North bank of the Fras-
er river, and will observe that l>etw(en them lies the flat on which is situated Gheam.
Ohilliwhaok, Snmaa and Mtatsqui, and the other scattered settlements He will
perceive that on the North bank the mountains for the most part hng the Fnser,
falling back only three times till they finally quit the river at St. Mary's Mission,
and thus forming the prairies at Ferny Coombe and Burton Prairie, and the flat land
on each side of the mouth of Harrison river.
On the South bank the valley is much wider, about 16 mues across, and at the
foot of the mountain nestles Popoum saw mill and tannery, thence follow Gheam
Indian villages, and that part of Chilliwhack called Gheam School Dist^ct, and be
yond the buildings which duster round GenterviUe. In the dist^ince be will notice
Lower Snmas. and beyond the shining waters of Sumas lake. Upper Snmas or
York's, and still further off over a lower ridge of foot hills, is Matsqui Prairie- If
the day be very clear, the observer will notice that from the elevation at which he
stands, as far as the eye can grasp, the land appears flat, till on the horizon be just
catcher, the glitter of the Onlf of Oeorgia and the cloud-like forms of the mountains
on the Islands, many miles distant. While speaking of views, we may mention that
from many places in the settlement a beautiful glimpse of Mount Baker, many miles
off in Washington Territory, is the great attraction to the eye. Descending from
the mountain we will now describe the settlement in detail, following the Tale wag-
gon road on the South bank of the Frftser, mentioning the settlements at present of
less importance, which lie along the future line of the railway on the North bonk of
the Fraser river
At Popoum Saw Mill, the road enters the settlement. The picturesque
position of this mill, half hid amongst pine trees and nestling at the foot of Gheam
mountain, attiacts the eye of every tourist passing np the Fraser Those who travAl

idea wb it nplfiirlid Hetllvmentii lie iHthind the towcrinx rockNor roii|{h pine or cotton
woodn which fringe th« river bank. TbiH nriiiea chiefly from the folio winK canntM:
iHt. That in many plaeoa the river ii abut off from the land by Holitary or de-
tached nioutaina.
2nd. Where there ia not very much land neit the river, it ia Indian Renervu-
tiOD.
3rd. Where tbia ia not tb« oaae. the river waahea ao micb that few pemona
oara to locate oloae to the bank.
At Popcuiu ia the aitw mill belonging to tbeBrotbera KuiKbt. which ia worked
by water power. There ia a tine dwelliug houae adjacent to the mill and a tannery
owned by Meaara. Oiie A Co., to which u viry large uddiliou hbh nmde laat winter.
Thin ia one of the many landinga for the river boiit^. Moat of the land round tbia
place ia Indian Reaerve and ia uncultivated. Two milea below, ibe road paaaea
through the atreetof the Indian village of Cbeam, Tbia ix beautifully situated on a
bluff overlooking the river. The bouaea are of wood,*but ao far as the outaidea go,
they would compare favorably with many cottagea in the old world.
There ia a neat churob (H. 0.) built by the natives themselves, of which
they are not a little proud, with a very goo I toned bell banging up outside, as is
generally the Catholic custom in this country.
For the text two miles the road is still in the Indian Reserve; indeed, with the
exception of the three bomeateads of the Messrs. Henderson, the land is all Indian
Reaerve for many miles. Beyond this with the exception mentioned the road pass-
es through thick woods for the next eight miles. The Fraaer now takes a bold swoep
to the North, where there is a large tract of land easily c'eared. It is at present un-
occupied, much of it is liable to overflow, but we believe atepa have been taken by the
settlers to dyke tbe land, and were Ibis once done it would be almost uneaualed for
farming purpoaea.
Eight milea from Cheam village is Gheam School District. How it came to be
so called we do not know, for it is eight milea Irom the Indian village and twelve
from the mountain of that name, and it naturally causes much confusion. There is
« well attended government school, and tbia is tbe centre of the most thickly set-
tled part of thu district, all the land being taken up and under cultivation. There
are many fine farms here, and there is little doubt that when the large prairie ia re-
claimed, and the atatiou opened on tbe railway at Harrison river, which ia opposite,
it will be very oondusive to tbe prosperity of the settlement.
Half a milfl below tbe achool bouse standa St. Michael's meetinghouse, beldng-
ing to tbe church of England; it is beautifully situated in a two acre grove of maple
trees between tbe trunk road and the «lough. a small branch of the Eraser.
About four miles below this we come to Genterville, as it is called, where the
trunk road is intersected by two roads from the back settlements and a road down
to the present landing; here a town site has been laid out by Mr. I. Kipp, who
owns most of the adjoining property. The history of this place is rather interest-
ing. Some yean ago before there was nothing here but the road and the landing,
and at the time was all covered with brush. It waa then determined to move the Eng-
lish church from the then deserted town of Douglas, on the old Douglas portage.
It is said that .Biahop Hills, with the map before him, measured off what
appeared to be the centre of the settlement and said, "put the church there " The
church was put up, and now there is an hotel, blacksmith and carriage builder's
shop, a steam flour mill, tbe Town Hall, a general store, a fine Public School, and

thia tnming is aituated the old Methodiat Church, and we believe it ia not in future
intended to be naed for divine aervioe. Seven milea below Oenterville ia Lower

School . There ia a very fine atone houae at the ateambont landing belonging to Mr.
Miller, who baa a atore and the poatofflce. Thia situation ia a very marked feature
from the river, aa thia ia the only point in the whole district where the farming land
ia visible from the deck of the paaiing steamboat. The land at Sumaa is mostly
very low and flat, and only suitable for dairy or atook raiaing, aa it is liable to be
flooded any year; but for dairy pnrpoaea it is almost nneqnaled. Below Bumaa a
group of mountaina shut off the Frasor from the valley, and the whole apace,
between thia and the mountains on the other aide, ia filled np by a large ahallow lake
of about 1 1,000 acres. This ao entirely flila np all the valley that the wagon road baa
to paas along the monotain side. Alwut tea miles below Lower Snmaa, Upper
Sumaa or York'a, ia reached. The land here ia aimilar to that at Lower Sumas , except
that the whole valley is intersected with ridges covered with trees. These not only
greatly add to the beauty of the aoene, but also to the value of the settlement, for with
this the farmer can build hia bouse, which will then command one of the most
beautiful views in the world, backed up with the ever anow clads peaka of Mount
Baker, in Washington Territory.
Here is a Ooverumunt aohool house, and the Church of England minister
holds periodical services. Mr. York keepa an hotel and small store, but there ia no
mail or telegraphic service at preaent. York'a houae ia about two milea from the
American frontier. Through thia settlement is the road over which persons coming
from the Sound by way of Whatcom and Knootaao, pass when they wish to reach
the Fraaer Biver, and it will, in all probability, come thia way, if ever a connection
is ma<le with the Canadian Pacific Railway. From York's there ia a trail across the
mountain to the Fraaer. at a point where there ia a very good hotel and a atore
called Wade a Landing ; travellers can find aocommodatiou and catch the river boata.
On thia trail there ia much good, well watered land, alder bottom, and skunk cab-
bage swamps far above any suspicion of high watar; but none has been taken up,
nor does it seem to be known. Two milea after the waggon* road leavea York's it
rises on to higher land and continues in the thick timber dll it reaches Langley .
About five miles after the road baa entered the thick timber a road leads off to the
north, to the Mataqui, or Riverside settlement; here are many thousand aorea of
fertile land, on which there are very few settlers at present. Most of the flat land ia
owned by Mr. 0. B. Sword, under a Dyking Act from the ^Qovernment, About
970,000 has been spent on dykiiur; but more will have to be spent before it is a per-
fect success. A little below the Mataqui Indian Village, on the Fraaer, aeveral per-

it approiushen Harrison Mouth, where the Harrisou empties into the Fraser. This
wris in Pioneer days a very important point; f ir before the waggon rond through the
canyon above Yale was made all travel to the upper country and the mines passed up
the Harrison nnd through the chain of lakes beyond; coming oat on the upper Frns-
er at Lillooet. About a mile above Harrison mouth will be the station house, and
when this country is ag/iin settled up, here is likely to be an important point, this
will also be the station for the Chilliwnek Bettlenient, as it is the only place where
the line comes down to the river, and at the same time the Frnser is free from Is-
lands, and where, therefore, a direct crossing will be possible.
NicoAAMRM Station.— From this point the mountains close in upon the river
for many miles, till it reaches Niooaamen station; this is not on the Frnser, but on a
large branch, called Niooaamen slough (on which we hear a salmon canning estab-
lishment will b« erected this winter). At this point the mountains final ly leave the
Fraser and stretch away to Pitt lake and the head of Uurrard Inlet. Here again is
a large kraot of good pasture land stretching to the Mission and thence down to Stave
river; the upper part of this is known as Burton Prairie, theoountry is not very thick-
ly settled, but no doubt the railway will work wonders. The next station is the Mis-
sion, or St. Mary's Mission, so called because there has been for many years one of
the principal B. 0. Missions in the province. H^re are brothers and sisters nnd an
industrial school for Indian and half breed boys and girls. In connection with the
Mission is a flour mill, which for many years ground all the flour grown in the dis-
trict. There will be another station somewhere between this and Stave river bridge,
a little above which is the boundary line of thia district. There will no doubt be
found plenty oi good land through this section, as it is far above high water mark.
For those who are frightened out of their wits by this bug-bear of the Fraser valley,
we should like to ask grumblers what country has not got its drawbacks, and where
persons can find alluvial flats without rivers, and flats and rivers without occa-
sional chance of floods, even after 1000 years of progress they have not yet succeed-
ed in protecting London or Paris from floods, (yet there are persons who will remain
in those locations.)
There are post offices at Popouro, Ohilliwhaok, Lower Sumas, the Mission,
and Bivemide or Mataqni. Telegraph offices at Ghilliwback and Matsqui, and there
was and probably will again be one at Popoum. Poblio schools at Oheam District,
Ohilliwhaok and Snmaa; aohool honaea at Upper Snmaa and Matsqui.
Ohxtbohks. — The ohnroh of England has a reai'lent prieat at Ohilliwhaok, who
has charge of thia whole district; the clergyman at preaent in charge, ia Obarlea "EU -
bert Baakett, aaaooiateof Kinga OoUege, London, England, who ia alao Ghapiain to the

For a lover of nature it would be diflSrult to find a more beautiful neighbor-
hood. Wide prairie, foreat primeval, lakes, rivers, Rtreams,^ green hills, and snow
oippcd mountains; the lover of pastor*! p«-aoe can find it in perfection; he who in-
dims to mttnre's sterner but grander side can hero have his dil - even a glimpse of
salt water may be caught from many points. We have heard from better judges than
oiirxelves, from those who know Switzerland well, that the scenerv here ia grander.
Not omtent with our home beauties we borrow from the States one of her most
beautiful mountains to be the back ground of most of our pictures The climate is
almost the same as that of England. But persons may say, is this settlement
healthy, contrary to what one would expect from flat land subject to overflow.
Chiliiwhaok is a remarkably healt v place, and the climate ic singularly invigorating
Persons who hardly ever knew a day's health in other parts of Canada, have come
out here and been able to work with the strongest. This may be owing to the sea
breeze which sweeps over the flat laud from the gulf, or it may be owing to the
breeze coming down from the snow clad mountains around; whatever the cause, the
fact remains. There is no doctor in the settlement ; there was one but he was starved
out.
The mountains with which the settlement ia shut in, .tve hardly been pros-
pected, but they are known to contain coal in severil piaoeH. At one place it was
burning for years. A quartz silver led";e has been discovered and opened!, but not
woiked; on the very bank of the Frasor, gold, silver, irou and oth r minerals have
b-jen found in the district. Some Chinese are constantly engaged when the Eraser
is low enough, washing for gold dust .
The average yield of the crops in this district is as followb: Whieat, 20 bushels
per acre, 60 lbs. to the bushel; oats, 40 bushels per acre, 34 lbs. to the bushel; "bar-
ley, 40 bushels per acre, 48 lbs to the bushel; peas, 2''> bushels per acre, 60 Ibs.^to
the bushel; potatoes, 150 bushels per acre, 60 lbs. to the hushel; hay, two tons to the
bcre; corn of all sorts grows and ripens well, so do squashe:^, pumpkins, melons,
cucnmbers and tomatoes. All fruit seems to flourish, and where grapes have been
tried.they have turned out a great snooesB. Roots of al! kinds are remarkably fine.
We may mention that one of our settlors carried off 1*2 prizes at tlie agricultural
show at Victoria this year.
Salmon of one kind or another is in season nearly all the year, and this is the
highest point on the river reached by those most delicious of all fish, the oolaohans,
the white bait of the Frasor. Trout of various kinds abound in streams, lakes and
rivers. Grouse and quail, and other game of the country are plentiful Oeese
ducks and snipe are in countless number, and an occasional swan may be met with.
On the foot hills und mountsins the larger game of the country is to be found, beam
are often quite a nuisance to the farmer. The florn, flowering, shrubs, and ferns of
the district are remarkably rich
The farmer from Ontario and other portions of our ooantry will find in Ghil>
liwhack and the whole lower Fraser valley, a district that possesses a far better cli-
mate, finer agricultural land, and offers greater indaoements to settlers (^tban any
other portion of the Pacific coast.

HOPE DESCRIPTIVE.
The town of Hone is sitaated nearly 100 miles from the mouth of the Eraser
river, preseutini]; an attractive appearnnue; and it may well bi»>said. that the tourist
who makes his iirst journey up the Frasur, oannol fail to note the pictnreHque sight
this little place pn-sents (especially so when viewed from the deck of n passing
steamer) located as it is, on a most beautiful flat, around whioli the Frnser river
takrs one of its nnmcrous sweeping beudn. Opposite the town the construction of
the Canadian Pacitto Itailway is being rapidly pushed, added to the great mineral
wealth and Im'ck country near at hand, all of which will tend to make Hope in
the near future a thriving place. The saw mills of W. L. Flood, are in full opera-
tion here, possessing a very convenient location for shipping. There '.% also a
logging camp in connection with these mills, situated on the oppfdsite side of the river.
The town has two good hotels, churches, telegraph, post office, and several general
merchandise stores, and all probabilities are. that Hope will soon become an import*
ant trading post .

YALE CITY DESCRIPTIVE,
The town of Yale, the rhief town of thp iliHtriot, HfrivrM itH name from h well
known ofHcer of the Hudaoii'it Ray Company, alter whom the Company'* fort here
wai called. It ia on the right bank of the {"raHer, 110 milea from itH month, at the
head of uninterrupted navigation, during about nine monthH in the y<ear. The situa-
tion in in the Houtb weat oorner of Yale diiitriot. at the neck of the Lower Frnaer val-
ley, in North liititnde 4tf deg., 33 miu., 44 aeo., and approximate Weat longitude 121
deg., 26 min., 68 Neo. The reaident white population may be atiited hh about 750
though it haabeen much larger owing to the preaenoe of Ruilwaj' eniployePH. A num-
ber of Chinamen are in huaineHa in the town, aa tradora, laundiy-mnn and rcatau-
rant keepera. The Indiana, whoae appearance and language change a few milea up
the river, have a village beaide Yale and a great aalmon flahery above the town. They
are employed largely in anpplying firewood to the inhabitanta. The town ia almoat
entirely wooden, with wide atreeta and pretty oottagea in the anbnrba. The railway
contrurtor'a reaidence, head offlcea, and engine ahopa are at Yale, A weekly newa-
paper, the Inland Senthtel, ia pnbliahed. There are r;ood wholeaale and retail atorea,
aeveral excellent hotels, provincial government achool church of England and Cath-
olic places of worahip, government agent'a offlcea, and a lookup and fire engine
houae, poat office and tolegraph station. M aila reach Yale twice a week from Vic-
toria. At preaent, two through steamboata ply between Victoria and Yale, and two
between New Ueetminater and Yale, each making two trips a week. The Canadian
Paoiflo Railway, now in conrae of construction, and (he great waggon road to the in-
terior, pasa through the town. Stagea atari once a week (at present on Monday
mornings) from Yale, to go through the interior, in different directioua, as far aa
Cariboo and Okauagan,
Being a aort of border town between the interior and coast districts, Yale has
always t>een rather an interesting place. At different times, the canoe, the bateau,
and the steamboat have successfully landed pfiasengera and goods here, destined for
the interior. The town is nearly on the dividing line between two climatic zones—
the moist coast climate and the arid interior climate. It is therefore an interesting
locality for the botanist. The summer climate is very pleanant. and monquitoes are
never troubleaome; but Yale has not the beat winter climate of either zone. The
snow, owing to local causes is sometimes deep. The town ntanda in a small area,
with a southern aspect, surrounded by lofty wooded hills with many summits from
1000 to 2000 feet in hii^ht. The Fraser boils through a narrow gorge, a short dis-
tance above the town, and here begins its smoother course thron'.;hthe gradually wid-
ening valley of the Lower Fraser (New Westminster District) which extends to the
sea. There are pleasant prospects from some parts of the town of the fine bend of
the Fraser below Yale, and the distant snow-clad Hope nlountnins. The visitor who
ascends the hills, which present no great difBoalties to an active pedestrian, will be
amply rewarded by wide views of grand scenery. The less active, will find much to
please the eye in a ramble along the beautiful mountain streams, well supplied with
trout (which here join the Fraser) or in a walk pr drive to theboiling rarias and the
railway tunnels above the town, near enough to be visited before breakfast. Indi-
cations of silver have been found n'ear the town. The gold mining camps across the
river are worth a visit. If the traveller is not on his way to the interior, he mapr at
least, take a drive of 25 miles from Yale to Boston Bar where there is a capital inn.
The romantic river view among pictaresque environments, the massive railway
works, the Alexandra suspension bridge across the Fraser, and the mountain climb-
ing waggon road are well worth seeing.

YALE DISTRICT DESCRIPTIVE.
The District may be desoribed generally as a hilly or mountainous plateau ,
which, lying between the river Fraser and Oolumbia river stratohes from the Ameri-
can frontier about two degrees to the north. It oonpriseH more than one-half of the
southern interior tract of the mainland, and has a roughly estimated area of about
24,000 square miles.
The true Cascitde range of mountains— not the British Columbia coast range
often called by that nime— occupies the southwest section, and the west side of the
district, and, runninti northerly along the eastern side of the Fraser, vanishes in
the neighborhood of Lytton .
On the eastern or Oolumbia river side of the Yale district plateau, which has
an average width of about 150 miles, the land rises into the Odd Mountains— a
range immediately west of the Oolumbia river.
The principal rivers are the Thompson (north and south brimches meeting at
Kamloops) and the Nicola. Gathering numerous smnll tributaries they flow in a
westerly direction through the basin and ftually join their united waters to the Fraser
at Lytton.
Its surface is a mass of mountains or hills, in short ranges and ridges, cross-
ing and re-crossing, and of all sizes, from grassy mounds to great hills 3UO0 feet
high. The summit lines, and the slopes, are varied, and present picturesque com-
binations whithersoever the eye turns. . One often can embrace, in a view, the
shining reach of a river, clearly out terraces, as if made with the spade, and rolling
side-hills buttressing the giant slopes. The rivers, generally, are deep grooved and
rapid, and are flunked, fur the most part, on both sides,, with terraces of various
heights, which seem to conform to the ooiit turof the valleys. In soma places where
clay prevails the high banks are worn into fantastic pinnacles Lakes, some of them
alkaline, are found everywhere — nmrrow, elongated lakes in general —often linked
by streams. Some lakes Hteep-sided round their margins ; others with alternations
of beach and rugged bank, again— with low-edged intervening swamps — often with
gently shelving rims set in among grassy slopes. But for a fuller description
of the substance of this and so tie succeeding passnges, the reader may be referred
to the published description of Mr. O. M. Dawson of the Dominion Geological De-
partment. Thf commonest soil throughout the district is known as " boulder clay.'
This IS probably a fertile soil, but much of it lies too high for successful agriculture.
It is composed chiefly of unmodified drift, but without a stiff, clayey character, a
yellowish grey mixture of clay and sand, rath.r hard and with stones intermixed.
Exposed to the weather it softens, and becomes intermixed with vegetable matter.
Another class of soil known to be exi^remely fertile, and lying low enough for
agriculture, is that generally found upon the "benches" or "terraces;" and upon
the irregular slopes of some of the valleys which once, probably, were the bed of a
great lake. The sedimen of the old lake, now probably forms a covering to a
considerable depth. This second class of soil is composed of modified or redistri-
buted drift, modern alluvium, &c., and is chiefly the product of the disintegration
and re-arrangement of the boulder clay, though mixed with the detritus from the
waste of local rocks, or which has been carried down by rivers when flowing at a

higher leTAl, as they teem here to haTe flowed at some time. Alliali in intermixed
with the Boil in Home parta of the district. The common grass of Yale district is the
well known banoh grass, which formerly covered nearly the whole surface np to
aboat 2000 feet above the sea This grass, which possibly is the most valuable pas-
ture grass in the world, has the peculiarity that it never ceases to grow, '! hough
the exterior may appear dry and withe ed, the heart is green even in the depth of
winter. There is good sward, intermixed with oompositae and othM: plants, higl ^r
up the hills than the bunch grass, so that the region in practically a summer grazing
region np to 3500 feet. Some excellent natural hny nifnuowR are found on lake
margins or by the sides of streams. The bunch (^rass has been greatly eaten off in
most places near the waggon roads, and around farm houses. In many parts it has
suffered from over grazing. When eatt-n closely, and not allowed to seed, the grass
of course does not grow a^ain The sage takes its place, and fortunately the cattle
will eat sage in winter. It is stimulating food, but less nutritive than the bunch
grass.
The district, though fairly supplied in wood, is not a wooded country, nor are
there many difftrent trees. The valleys are in general narrow, with here and there
low flats. Back from the rivers, as already said, are the benches or terraces, and
numerous bills of nil sizes rising above the extensive slopes. Scattered over these
here and therf, leaving apparently the gravelly opens, and so far apart as in no way
to interfere with free travel in all directions, is the peculiar tree of the district, com-
monly called red pine (Pinus Ponderosa)—a tree well known to botanists, and which
it is needless here to describe. This tree, as has been elsewhere mentioned, is found
as far north as the upper ford of the Bonaparte, but its nearest approach to the
coast range, westward, is the head of Anderson lake. Requiring an arid climate, it
does not grow upon the coast where the Douglas flr luxuriates in the moister climate.
The traveller, jonmeying from the New Westminster district np the waggon road
into the centre of Yale district, may interest himself by noting the indications of
dryness as he proceeds, afforded by the change of the plants. The characteristic
coast plants gradually give place to those requiring less moisture. This may be no-
Mced before he reaches Boston Bar, and very markedly after passing Jackass moun-
tain, which intercepts the moist winds of the coast. The trees become sca/itier.
massing only on mountain tops or in sheltered valleys with a northern aspect. The
red pine. replaces the Douglas fir. Soon he becomes aware that he has passed into
a different climatic region from that upon the coast or Lower Fraser, and with char*
aoteruttic flora. The Pinus Ponderosa is the prevailing tree of the whole region. The
timber is good, close grained and durable, but as its name indicates, comparatively
heavy It is a pretty tree in the landscape, with rather an elegant shaft, of which
about one half is brianchless. Tlie Balsam Poplar or Oottouwood and the Aspen are
distributed throughout the district, with numerous wild ornamental shrubs and edi-
ble wild fruits, particularly the service berry and choke cherry ,
The above short description will already have given the reader a general idea
of the climate. The district has peculiar climatic advantage^, with the exception,
perhaps, of some parts of the Kootenay region, in the south east portion of the pro-
r vince. Yale district probably has the best climate on the mainland, or indeed, in
any part of Canada. The climate differs esseutially from that upon the Lower Eras-
er and the coast, in being drier and, seasonally, more regular. A greatly milder and
: shorter winter is enjoyed in Yule district, compared with the winters in the territor.
I iai divisions north of it. The summer beat is great, very great sometimes, but a
I light breeze generally refreshes the valleys, and no case of sun stroke is known.

that the winteiH in Ihix dlHtrii^t are not found by reaidents to be ho aevero oa to re-
quire more tliuii additional Hlove-warnitb ana protection againat ihe effecta of the
(•old. The snow fall at 0«ooyoH ia generally very light, probably becauae the etlVot
of the gr> ater altitude than in the northern part of the district, ia mitigated there by
the w ivm winds which may reach that locality, owing to ita approximation to the
giviit .\iiierican de.-iort ao called, which atretch^a South to Mi<xico.
FiHh and game in th" diatrict are aufflci ntly numeroua to interest both the aporta-
mauand aettler. The salmon ascend the Thompson and Nicola in great uumbera, but
are not ao good, as when caught at the entrance of the Fraaer or upon the coast.
Fine white tlsb and v.uiuties of excellent trout may be caught in moat nf the lakes
and atrfiima. Immense quantities of carp of auvoral vaiietioa are cau;jht i) lu.
dians in Spring. wh^'U tht^y enter the streams from the lakes to spawn. Deer are
plentiful ill most paita and, in some localities, the Cariboo and mountain aheep and
goata. Of edible birds of passage, the Canada goose and other varieties, the mal-
lard, tciil, widgeon, the paascuger pignon, and a boat of othera. might be named
Grouse of various kinds and prairie chickens are abundant. The cinnamon bear at
certfdu seasons, and the rattlesnake iu some localities, are the only dangerous crea-
tur'ea, but neither give mucih trou'.ila. The wolf, the black bear, and the sneaking
coyote, oi-casionally attack the young piga and poultry of the farmer.
The district, probably, has a oonaiderable future before it as a mineral
region. Excellent indications of silver exiat near Hope, on Fraaer river, also in the
neighbothood of Osooyos. and at Cherry Greek, near the western flank of the QoM
range on the eastern side of YiIh diatrict plateau. A goo I deal of gold is taken
every year from the lower part of Thompson river, with rockers. In Nicola jthere
are indications of iron, and the coal oroppings there, and on the left bank of the
North Thompson, about forty-five miles above Kamloops, are said by 'experts to be
of superior quality to the teitiary coal in Washington and Oregon.
The Indians in the district are well disposed, and of considerable use in their
way, as laborers, herders, and paokors. Ths Indian land question, which threaten-
ed to give trouble some time ago. has been udjuated, and the natives are now as
peaceable as their white neighbors.
The wliole district may be said to be a slock-farmi:^^, not at present an agri-
cultual, region. The rainfall generally is deficient for the growth of crops in soil
otherwiiie arable, and farmers have to depend on the water of streams for irrigation
of their land. Men of modoi-ate moans can irrigate only where water can be easily
applied, from streams <oming fi-im higher levels. There are a g<^od many of these
jitreams, but the available ones are few com,>ared with the extent of the district.
\rtOdiaa wells have not yet been tried. The channels of the rivers and streams are

The artiA of land tit for oiiitivation is not H.xtpnsiv*^, though largnr perhaps
than ii) gonorally HuppoMod. Many of tho moot suitabio locntioiiH hav«, ofcourKc;,
long bmm ncciipiod. Tho «t'iok-rait<or chuojic-i a ){ood piace for a hom<'^ti'ad nnd
for a little ciiitivalion, with, if po^niblo. r.aiural hay meadows, or ii picco of a raiigi'
for winter pastino, or access to mich a rango on unoccupied lands. Tho homestoad
formed, the cattle and horses brandiMl with distinctive murks, aro turntsd out to
roam over the ext'-nsivo mountains and vallnys on the pviblic domain. In winter
the cattle require sheltered spots with little snow on them, and, as already said,
^omo provision of I'ood in case tho winter should be severe. Horses can live on the
higher lands in winter, as they paw througli tho snow to net at the grass. In some
localities and winters the cattle live out without great loss. The bunch-grasH pas-
ture varies much in quality in diftorent parts, and the pasturing of stock on origin-
ally tine pasture seems to be more destructive in sumeiilaces than in others, perhaps
owing to the ditlerent character of the soil and tie greater or less hold whii h the
grass has in it.
"What mainly governs the stock-fiinner's nusitw'ss as at present carried on,
and what will do s > until a continuance of high prices for cattle shall enable him to
cultivate largely for tho produ'tion of winter food, is the extent of natural winter
ranges owned by him or within his reai h on the public domain. The aspect and
lie of the land, its openness to winds which sweep the snow fr m the surface, and its
nearnrss to night shelter when the windsare too keen, have all to bo considered If
not accustomed to visit llie farm winter corral, tho cattle them -elves generally find
the best plucks, in a rough sort of way, preferring of course places to whicli the
older c title have been a> customed. The natural winter- langes in the district are
not so extensive as to justify any \ery large addition to the stock no» in the coim-
try. Cultivation of winter food will become inevitably necos.-ary. There is still
abundancf of summer pasture.
The unoccupied land in the district, for 20 miles on each side of tho Canadian
Pacific Railway lielongs to the Canadian Government, and is managed by the Dom-
inion Resident Agent at Victoria. Tiie remainder of the unoccupied land belongs
to the Province, and is under the management of the Commissioner of Lands an. I
Works,' Victoria, who has ofiUcial assistants in the district.
With respect to transport and travel, the public ro ids are good young-country
roads, and are made and maintained by the Government.
Tho district is entered along the main waggon road whic'i proceeds from
Yale on the right bank of the Fraser lliver for 12 miles to the ."-Suspension Bridge.
Crossing there to the left bank, it goes on to Lytlon where it leaves tho Fraser and
runs atonic the left bank of the tributary Thompson to Cook's Ferry (Spence's
Brid)te), where the Thompson is bridged. From this place the traveller may drive
to Kamloops by either of two routes. He n rty go up Nicola Valley, and north to
Kamloops, fW)m the head of it. Or he may drive to Cache Creek, thence to ."^avona's
Ferry (><t foot of Kamloops Lake), crossing the Thompson there by ferry, and
thence along the south side of Kamloops Lake to Kiimloops. From Kamloops the
waggon load proceeds by way of Grand Prairie to the head of Okunugan Lake, and
thoncu to the Mission halfway down the east side of Ukanu^an Lake, where its
further progress southward along the hike is stopped by a .steep mountanous pro-
I jectiuu. The outlet for the country south of this point is by a cattle tniil up the

Compiiny theniHolves, and the route will depend on the particular paoH which, with
the sanction of the Government of Canada, they may xeleot for croBNing the Rooky
Mountains into Kritixh Columbia. If they select the Yellow Head Paso, the line
will come down the v illey of the North Thompson River, and on one or the other ttide
of Kainloo|ifi Lake to HavonaN Ferry, where cunKtruction under exi»tint{ cotitructi
endf). On the other hand, if, as is perhapH more probable, they choo»e the more
Doutherly pnnn known a» Kicking Horse Pai<t>, and aUo And a way through the
Selkirk range (enclosed by the Big Bend of the Columbia), the line will enter
through Eagle Pasn in the Gold Range (on the west i>ide of the Columbia), traverse
the south side of Shuswap Lake, and find its w.iy down the South Thompson Valley,
and one or other side of KamloopB Lake, to Savona's Periy. The whole railway
across the continent has to be completed and equipped by the 1st May, I81)t.
The Okanagan, Simiikameon, and Nicola Rivers, cannot be classed as
navigable, nor the Thompson below Cork's Ferry (Spence'g Bridge), but there is
clear na\ igation from about 20 miles above the latter place up the Thompson,
through Kamloops Lake, and up the North Thompson to near the Clearwater, or,
ascending the South Thompson from Kamloops, steamboats enter Shuswap Lake,
and from it go for a considerable distance up the Spellumcheon River, which flows
into that lake from the south-east. Two good steamboats now ply on this ex-
tensive stretch of navigation. By cutting a canal for about 16 miles, which could
be easily done, from the head of navigation on the Spcllumcheen to the head of
Okanagun Lake, across the low main "divide," access could be gained to the
waters of Okanagan Ltike for steamboats. The Fraser is not navigable between
Yale and Lytton for about 21 miles above Yale, but a steamboat has been built by
the railway contractor to ply for the remainder of the distance, say between Boston
Bar and Lytton, and it is believed the attempt will he successful.
The towns and villages in the district are Hope, Yale, Lytton, Spence's
Bridge, Cache Creek, Savona's Ferry, and Kamloops, all of which are supplied
with '' stores " and good hotels, which also are found at intervening places on the
lines of travel.

upon the view, with a oharming peep upthu Kraoer Valloy beyond; at the Junction
of the Thorn piion and Fraaer rivem, 57 mileit above Yale.
The town nanaed after Lord Lytton, formerly Colonial Secretary, iit built upon
a flat, a HUceeMion of which riite like ho many terraces from the river, and i* in-
debted for much of itM pniHperity and importance lo ito central poitition at the
meeting of the riverf above named.
The a'uuml sale of flour iind dry xood*, owing mainly to the concentration
of Indiana here, i* Himply enormoun; and Hince the commencement of the Kailway
construction, which crosiie^ the heights overlooking the town, the buHinesa of the
pliico has been largely increaged.
As we enter we pans through the GhineHe locality, where the numerous
celextiaU employed on tlie railway find their peculiar wants abundan*<v met within
the unique establishments that are being constantly multiplied by e' Wsing Arms
within this nrea, for the sale of goods and for catering to the quest tastes of
their acquisitive countrymen.
The European portion has also the look of thriving prosperity. Mr.
Quagliutte Romano's dry goods store, recently erected upon the site of the former
one destroyed by Are, is filled with choicest slock, and is doing a flourishing trade.
On the oppo.'ile side of the street, Dr. Tunstall, the Railway Medical Assistant, has
his office and dru^ stoi-e, and is one of the busiest officials of the neighbourhood.
A fruit store hard by is doing well, and also the two old established business
houses of Messrs. Boucherat and Mclntyre, whose sales each year cannot be less
than 4u tons of imported merchandise. The butcher shop of P. Kilroy is remark-
able for presenting the flnest bunch grass fed beeves of the interior; many dressing
up to l,20u lbs,, and are brought down from the Douglas Lake country; the finest
grazing section t f the Province
A very neat Telegraph and Post Office has lately been erected at this point.
Three hotels, with restaurants attxched, affitrd comfortable accommodation for the
constant travel, and tor persons congrogatiirg here for business or amusement, *nd
all seem to enjoy a fair shird of public patronage. They are owned by Messrs.
Hautier. Sproat, and Baillie, respectively.
The commodious livery stables of Messrs. McKay & Mclntyre can scarcely
meet the demands made for accommodation, where so many are constantly coming
II nd going from all parts of the district. Messrs. Barnard & Go. have also excellent
stables tor stage convenience, and Nelson and others have barns and store-
houses for supplying the numerous freight teams that are constantly passing
through the town. There are also two blacksmith shops, a saw and grist mill,
court house, government school and ageucy; whilst the Railway Contractor is
adding to the buildings in the shape oi warehouses and offices, which, with the
private residences, have well nigh covered the entire town site.

At Cook's Ferry, on the left bank of tho River, there is a post office and
telegraph station; also a good Inn with excellent accommodation, and close by is a
blacksmith's establishment of great repute; also two stores for general merchandise,
notably that of Mr. Jho. Murray's on the North side. On the flat over-
looking, this cluster of dwellings and places of business, the Hallway Com-
pany have their buildings. The road to Nicola Valley tuins off' at Cook's Ferry*
and crossing the Nicola Bridge folUws a fair waggon road; the distance from the
mouth of the Nieola Rivtir to tho Lake of the same name being 47inilos. The
Thompson is at least 300 feet wide at Spence's Bridge, a beautiful structure
which rests on a number of piers with cut water fronts, and is capable of resisting
an enormous pressure. Quite a little settlement at this point exists. Morton's
Hotel might grace a city, the garden adjoining is filled with every variety of annual
flowers and produces all kinds of fruit and vegetables, and will yield this year some
hundreds of pounds of grapes of finest quility. There is also a tinsmith's store on
thit) side and excellent stables for horses attached to the Inn. The distance from

Cook's Ferry to' the Bonaparte is 30 milos. The Cariboo Waggon Koad on the
other hand follows the right bonk of the Thompson from this point.
The beautiful level farm of Mr. Aritoine, at the lUO mile post, contains Bome
lOU aoreH of the finest timothy, whep.i and barley . The Asfacroft estate comes next,
the property of the Cornwall Broo ., and here is the private reHideiice of the present
Lieut.-Governor of the province. From Ashcrolt to Cache Creek, the distance is
six miles . Half way, a small waggon road leads down to the mouth of the Bona-
parte, where Mr. Harper, one of the most ente . ^lising and worthy pioneers of the
province, has erected his well known flour mill, which he removed a year ago from
Clinton. Hither the Peerless, tue beautiful Kamloops steamboat, owned by '^lessrs.
Mara, Barnard & Co, comes constantly with cargo, during the higher stages of wa-
ter, (brought all the way from Spallumcheen). and this point bids fair to become
one of greu' coiumercial activity. A waggon road now lends across the hills to the
UACHK GBLEK
vallty, up which (on what is termed the Eight Mile Meadows) the central railway
section house has been built, and is at present occupied by Mr. Hamlin, the dis-
trict engineer. Cache CreeK or Bonaparte house, with adjoiniug grounds, is owned
by Mr. J. Campbell, who also has a store, connected with whicb is a post, telegraph
and express office. Blacksmilihiug and other business accommodations can he found
across the bridge, which spans the Bonaparte at this point. The Government board-
ing school stands on a small flat half a mile from the Bonaparte house, and con-
tains so:ue fifteen inmates of both sexes. From Cache Creek to
SAVONA's FKRilT, ON KAMLOOPS LAKE,
is 22 miles a small settlement containing hotels, express office, and a capital store,
owned by Mr. Jno. Jane, where everything ordinarily required can be purchased at
reasonable rates. The Thompson, flowing out from the lake, is crossed by a ferry
boat, and persons proceeding to Kamloops have the choice of three routes They
can cross the ferry, following the public waggon road to the South of . le lake, some
30 miles, or they can go up by steamboat, the Peerless and Lady Dufferin, making
weekly, and sometimes bi-weekly trips, or they can ride along the North side
of the lake by Copper Cre .k, passing through the beautiful Tranquille valley settle-
ment. The finest kind of trout fishing with fly. can be found at Savona's Ferry
whilst the sportsman will find abundant use for his ^uu, m the way of grouse,
ducks, and prairie chickens, between here and Kamloops. Tranquille is about
twelve miles up this lake, beyond Battle Bluff Here Mr. W. Fortune resides, own-
ing flour and lumber mills, has a steamer in constant use, a splendid house, and
one of the finest gardens in the country. The farm of Mr Cooney, immediately ad-
joining, is also a very valuable one.
Next, the far famed Hudson Bay buildings come into view on the left bank of
the river, formerly having been buiit on the right side, and then adapted for primi-
tive times, in which they wc^re first founded. Civilization, truth, honesty, y<a, reli-
gion itself are indebted to these early adventuroub and hardy pioneer representatives
of this great fur company of the North West. As one now follows the old brigade
trails, radiating from the old Kamloops fort, across to Nicola, or up the South
Thompson, or away North towards Cariboo or New Caledonia, as it was then term-
ed, how many romanti? stories, more marvellous than fiction, could be woven out
of the adventures and hazardous journej of those days.

nnd reaidenoe. The principal merchandise bouse is owned by Messrs. Mnra & Wil-
son, who also, are largely interested in tlie steamboats rendezvousing here, and also
the extensive milling establishment, for the manufacture of hides and lumber, and
for the feeding of hogs, some hundreds of which are yearly fattened for the market,
by the owners. The Government agent for tho district is stutioned here. There is
also a post and telegraph office, also hotels, one of which, kepi by Mine Host Spell-
man, of pioneer renown, is deserving of being ranked as first class, and at it the tra-
veller and tourist may be sure of finding every reasonable want promptly attended
to The H. H Co. 's store, as that also of Messrs. Mara and Wilson, r.re capable of
supplying well nigh every imaginable want. There are also two blacksmith shops, a
saddler's store, and the usual Chinese wash houses.
Opposite the town, at the Forks, the Indians have a reserve of some 10000
acres, their growing little town, with its well built church, presents quite an im-
posing appeanuu'e. TheNorth Thompson is settled for about fifteen miles on eith-
er side. The South Thompson branch is remarkable for its calm sweet aspect, and
is being constantly navigated by steamers to Spnllumchet u. Fine timber, including
cedar, red and white pine, is being constantly cut along the Sliuswap lake, rafted
and towed down to the mills below. A source of wealth is lying h. re, only partial-
ly developed uji to the present time. Splendid farms are to be seen the whole way
up the South Thompson, and especially that of Messrs. Duck and Pringle, eigh-
teen miles from Kumloops.
Tht Grand Prairie settlement, eighteen miles above Duck's, is very noticeable.
Here the Kirkpatrick's and Pringle Lave shown what can be done by the enter-
prising settler who is content to rough it for a while. Messrs. Joneb & Sons,
have also secured some lOUU acres of this lovely country. Kamloops is connected
by a good waggon road, with the Nicola settlement, and it bids fair to become, after
a few years, th ■ most influential town of the Mainland interior. Several good dai-
ry farms might be taken up in the neighborhood of the high roads, which penetrate
the country every where, but for good agricultural farms, one must go somewhat in-
to the interior, especially following the Spallumcheen and Okanagan valleys.
The average yield on irrigated lands, may be given at 30 bushels of grain per
acre. On the new farm land, occupied by Mr. Jones, of grand Praiiie, the yield of
turnips' for the present year, is close upon 35 tons per acre, whilst beets, corn, and
all other produce attain enormous size.
In conclus-'in, we may observe that the two chief wants of this part of the pro-
vince seem to be cheaper labour, and hi^lp mates for the lonely bachelors of this
section At present the Indian is the chief reliance for help in the gathering of the
crops, as well as the sowing of them, and very good it is of its kind . But there is
room for the introduction of a number of families of the labouring class. As soon
as a railway connection has been established between the interior and the coast,
then they may find their way inland at a moderate cost, and so the farmers will be
able to accomplish more, and the country at large, will be settled up.

NICOLA VALLEY DE8URIPJTVE.
291)
NICOLA VALLEY DESCRIPTIVE.
Is centrally situated, being distant from Kamloops 60 miles; Spence's
Bridge or Cook's Ferry, 50 miles; Fort Hope, 80 miles; Similkameen, junction of
trail to Hope and Osoyoos, Custom House, Southern Boundary line, 6o miles.
Nicoli is readied from Spence's Bridge, or Kamloops, by a good wagon
road from Hope, and Similkameen by trail.
Nicola proper, i. e., the settled portion of it, is about 60 miles in ien>>th, and
from Marmot Lake on the north, to Douglas and Minnie Lakes on the south, soniu
40 miles in width.
Mail Communication — Is from Spence's Bridge to head of Nicola Lake,
distance 70 miles. The Post Office is located near fool of Lake Nicola, but the
service calls for a road-side reception and delivery over the entire route. The
present contract is only for a bi-monthly service by stage wagon, which also
carries passengers and express freight to and from the Valley. Stage fare for each
passenger from Spence's Bridge to Post Office, Nicola, $5; charges on freight
equally moderate. From Spence's Bridge to Nicola there is a good road-side
Hotel, accommodation at reasonable rates. In the alternate weeks between regular
mail communication, a two horse express wagon runs between the head of Lake
Nicola and Spence's Bridge, carrying freight and passengers.
The nearest Telegraph Offices to Nicola Valley are those located at Kami ops
and Spence's Bridge.
There are four general stores in the Valley, about ten miles apart; at most
of them you can generally get any necessary article. Three Hotels, or rather
houses where the tourist or traveller can lodjie or rel'resh himself; two blarkmith
shops; one wagon maker, and several carpenters; four saw milU; three fluurintr
mills; one church; two Government school houses, and one private day and
boardipg school, established under the auspices of the Bishop of New Westminster
and presided over by a lady of rare Hbility. This institution supplies a want \r g
felt in the Valley, us well as other adjacent districts, by affording a place w en-
girls can receive a good education, and a careful moral training, with all the;
comforts of a well kept home, at a very moderate cost.
The principal fluur mill in the settlement is built at the issue of Nicola
River from the Lake. The brand of flour turned out of this mil! is excellent.
Contiguous to and driven by the same power is a very gool saw mill, where dressed
lumber, tongued and grooved, sash and shingles, are turned out. Dressed lumber,
T and G, sells for |25 per thousand at the mill; rough lumber $1U, $15, and $20
per thousand.
The climate of Nicola Valley is much the same as that experienced all over
the large belt of country extending from Similkameen to Thompson River. During
the summer months it may be visited with from three tu four hot spells or periods,

iniignif.cant The autumn and ipring in this geotion of country may be Juitly
termed 8alubriou8. Winter aa a rule sets in about December, and break* up in
March, but strictly gpeaking there is do oafe precedent in the matter. Some year*
we have what are termed *'hard winters," i. e., deep snow (9 inchex to a foot), which
may lie on the ground for two or tliree months. Thermometer, in cold ipelli or
periods, may register as low as 80° below zero. In August, September, and
October, there is frequently considerable rain, but seldom enough to injure grain
crops that are being harvested.
The climate and soil of Nicola valley, considered in a general way, are admir-
ably adapted to the growth and maturing of all European cereals, roots, and grasses.
Tomatoes and cucumbers do well in the open air, whilst all kinds of small fruits
yield enormously In the floral depftrtment the careful attendant has a rich re-
ward in bloom and beauty.
Within the last two or three years, some very good private residences have
been built, and others are in contemplation. The buildings that have been erected,
are comfortable and commodious, with more or less architectural ornamentation .
Every day improved i%nd.^ are becoming more valuable.
Sbootino, or as \t in generally termed, "hunting," is attended with consider-
able tear and wear of muscle, fspecially in deer stalking. The Indians are expert
deer stalkers; they rarely drive deer, "still hunting" is their usual way of getting
within range. Accompanied by an Indian, or some one acquainted with the various
hunting grounds, excellent sport can be had. From September on till snow falls,
very fair bags can be made from prairie chickens, blue, and willow grouse. Splen-
did shooting can be had from lakes, swamps and rivers, in swans, geese and brant,
with almost every species of the duck family; snipe will now and then be found, but
they are, to say the least, soared in this upper country. When the stubble fields and
farming districts are cleared, large coveys of prairie chieken can be found without
much travelling.
FisBiMO. — Almost every lake, river, or running stream, of any size or depth,
in Nicola division, contains fish of excellent quality. The best trout ^shing is
found in the rivers and streams. Almost any bait will sometiuies fill a basket. Ex-
cellent fishing is also to be found in Nicola lake.
AoBiouLTDBAi. AND Pastobai..— In 1868, the first settlers located in Nicola val-
ley; in that year sheep farming was commenced near the foot of the lake, and cattle
breeding at what is now known as the Forks of Nicola and Ooldwater rivers. The
settlers who came then, are here yet, perfectly satisfied with their lot in life. The
valuable privilege that all possess, who settle down on the public lauds of B. C,
viz: That of running or depaMturiug sheep, cattle, or horses, on all unoccupied crown
lands, give great inducement to embark in the business. Nicola proper, contains
to-day, between 50 and 60 bona fide settlers, most of them with families ; collectively
they own between lU.OOO and 12,000 head of cattle, about 1000 head of horses, and
2000 head of sheep.
Sheep fanning and stock raising has never been extensively carried on. The
country is adapted for breeding sheep, and will eventually (when the ranges are
eaten off by cattle) become a wool growing district. Had we a « olen mill in the
province, many would go into sheep raising, as the improved breeds do remarkably
well. Sheep hnd cattle, within the last year, have on the Mainland of B. 0., ad-
vanced in value at least 60 per cent. WiUiin the last few years, many excellent stal-
lions, of different breeds, have been brought to this upper country from Oregon and
Oalifomia, and in Nicola valley, some five or six good stallions have been bred. In

every stook raising oonntry, a nnmber of saddle horses are annnsUy' required to do
the riding attendant on oolleoting, dividing and delivery of cattle. Tl e Indians all
over the banoh grass country, are perfect horsemen. The speed and »-ndnranoe of
their ponies are wonderful, To And a B. C. deer, on a mountain side, and liiiike him
go just where yon want, is a trick, that tries both horse and rid<*r, and few can do
so more cleverly than an active Indian well mounted.
Since the settling up of Nicola valley, farming operations have been prosecut-
ed on a very limited scale, owing chiefly to the limited market The increasing de-
mand, consequent on railway oonatrnction, will, in the future, offer material induce-
ments in this direction Wheat grown at Nicola Valley was awarded a bronze medal
and certificate at Ct-ntennial exhibition 1876, certiflcutes of honorable mention, have
also been received for HampleH of wheat sent to FariH, so that it is evident the soil
aud climate are favorable.
The mineral resources of Nicola must, for the present, be confined to coal,
which is known to exist in large quantities, near the Forks of Nicola and Coldwater
rivers. Groppings have for years past been used by blacksmiths . Magnetic iron ore
has also been found adjacent to the coal fields.

Spallumubkkn Vallky. — KunB in a north-easterly direction from the head

empties into dhuswap Lake. The length of the Valley is about 3U miles. The
prairie portion is rhi fly that which hai been cropped up to the present time. The
valley of the Spallumcheen River connecting ^he Groat Okanagan Lake, on the
Columbia River water-shed, with the Great Shuswap Lako of the Fraser, is lightly
timbered, and easily cleared; the soil extremely fertile. Many inducements may
fairly attract tho settler towards this district, with its constantly growing advantages.
Nine months uf the year the steamers land at your door, and the Canadian Pacific
Railway must approach it. Crops grow without irrigation, and yield enormously
The climate is delightful and healthy. Spring comes to Spallumcheen early in
March, fiom which time farming operations may be said to begin. As soon as the
soil is ready lo work with the gang-plough, ploughing and drilling with four and
six horse teams are the order of the day. Twenty to thirty acres are finished
daily, and so the work goes on. It is indeed a cheerful sight. The soil is princi-

Okamaoan. — Okanagan Valley may, in view of its length and area of
valuable agricultural land, be clacHcd i^econd to none in Uritiflh Columbia. It ex-
lends from the head of Lake Okanagan to a Fort bearing the 8ame name at the
mouth of the Okanagan Kivor, which empties into thu Columbia about 00 milef
below the 49th parallel. The Lake is 75 miles in length, and ronchoM to Penticton,
where the river curries the water down towards the Columbia Kiver. JuaI below
Fentioton is Dog Lake, about 8 miles in length, at the foot of which is a small
water- fall, perhaps feet in height; with tliis exception, there \* nothing to impede
the passage of a small stemner from the head of the Uruat Okanagan Lake to the
('olumbia River, near the former post of the Hudson's Hay Company, Fort
Okanagan, about 6u miles distant from the Boundary Line near Osoyoos.
The principal part of the farming land on the Canadian side of this vallo}-,
lies between Okanagan Mission and the head of tlie Lake, a distance of about 47
miles. The Mission is the head quarters of the Koman Catholic Church in the
Okanagan country. They have a tine large church and beautiful gardens, giving
evidence that this Valley can produce anything that can be grown in temperate
climes.
Plkabant AND Salmon RiVKH Vallbyb. — Tliese Valleys may be said to
contain the Inrgest area of farming lands in the interior of British Columbia ; also,
perhaps, the most profitable, since it is not necessary to irrigate. It is in these
valleys that farming; on a large scale may be seen. Many farmers have supplied
themselves with all kinds of improved agricultural implements, such as self-bind-
ers, sulky gang plDUghs, and revolving harrows. The yield is great, 55 bushels to
60 bushels of wheat to the ncre have been grown; 40 bushels only an average crop.
Wheat, barley and oats are the principal crop, though other grain can be success-
fully grown; but the demand is not goitd for a variety. Apple trees, though but
recently set out, are looking well. Small fruits mature, and as elsewhere in tho in-
terior, yield a heavy crop. All kinds of vegetables do well.
There is a large amount of land suitable for agricultur.il purposes through-
out these valleys and down the Spallumchoen river bottom, but mostly lightly lim-

The Valley runs north from the Mission 40 miles, and is bounded on the west by
Okanagan Lake, and on the east by a range of high hills, a large portion of which
is excellent for grazing purposes. Abundance of farming land open for pre-

KOOI'KNAY DISTRICT DESCItlP'nVE.

KOOTENAY DISTRICT DESCRIPTIVE,
MivKKAL Rksourcfs. — The Kooteniiy District covfrs n wide area of mineral
ImikIh. There nri' portions of four distinct rimyes of mountains in this ditttrict. Stl-
Vhk, Piirpell, Hriscoe iind the Kocky nionntitins. There has been gold found in the
Htreanis flowing from all thi'se ranges. The high price of provisions, and the diffi-
culty ill triivclliiig nud proKpcctiug, have hitherto tended to impede raining opera-
tions in Kootemiy. The imy^ediiuents, however, will shortly be obviated, as the
runiidian Pii<-itic Uailwiiy will run throuj^h the centre of the district, and thus ena-
ble miners to brunch out in all directions, and obtain thi'ir supplies very cheaply.
There i« enough known of this district to warrant the assertion, that os soon as the
railroad opens up a way through the centre of it, hundreds of gold miners will find
employinent Thi-re is at present a company of miners, backed up with plenty of
capital, operating on Ferry Creek. As soon as this company get to bed rock, and
commenoe taking out pay. other companies will be encouraged to start iu the same
vicinity. It is well known that there is plenty of gold on Perry Creek, but the want
of capital to overcome the obstacles in the way of getting at it, has prevented min-
er! frtim operating hitherto.
AcjKicDLTUUAL Kk.sourcks — The portion of Kooteuay district fit for agricul-
tural and piistoral purposes is confined to the valley of the I^ootenay river, and to
the valley at the head waters of the main branch of the Columbia river, known com-
monly as the Columbia lake country. In these two valleys, there ore many thous-
ands of acres of fertile agricultural land, and plenty of good wild hay land, and also
iuiiume able hill sides and prairies covered with the best of pasture for stock. Cat-
tle for the last twenty years have done well in Kootenay. During this period there
has been only one really severe winter on stock, and that did not extend over the
whole of the district. There .are at present, very few cattle in the district; not
enough, indeed, to supply the wants of the present population. Farmers can do
well here, ns all supplies have to be packed over rough roads, so that freight is high,
and all kinds of farm produce command good prices, and will continue to do so fof
years, as the rai road will not come near enough to the present mines, to materially
alter the prices now paid fir farm produce.
TiMBKH.— There is a vast quantity of valuable timber all along tho valley of
the Cohiiubia river, to its extreme limits in tin district of Kootenay. The best
part of it can be floated down to the railrond, when it is ooiiHUiieUd, and no doubt
this will be a great industry in the future, as there is great want of timber iu the
countr}' east of Kootenay district, and it can be supplied cheaper from this valley
than from any other timbered eounlry
The isolated position of the Kootenay district, has prevented its development
hitherto; but attention has lately been called to its magnificent agricultural and min.
eral resources, and construction of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, it is evident, will
work a great change in its wealth and population. During the next decade, the
Kootenay district will, it may be assumed, take rank as one oi the most wealthy and
important in the province of British Columbia.

LILLOOET DESCRIFTIVE.
313
LILLOOET DESCRIPTIVE,
The town it> situated on the right bank of Fra!<or River, in hitiUide 50° 41^ N.,
find near the 122nd meridian of West Longitude; itH altitude abuve the sea is about
650 feet. The valley hero i» about «ix milei* in length, by four in breadth. On
either side of the river rises a succession of plateaux, extending to the base of the
mountains, by which the valley is bounded; studded with pine trees from base to
summit; and on the tops of some the snow remains nea ly all the year round. The
scenery is grand and attractive. The town passed its prime some years ago, when
the route to the Cariboo mines was changed. It, however, remains stationary
awaiting new discoveries of gold and the consequent opening up of the iiountry. A
number of whitumen, beside' many Indians and Chinese, are prospecting in this
neighborhood at present. The town or village c 'Usisis chiefly of one broad street,
having stores belonging to '' whites" and Cliiiieso intermingled. It boasts of only
one hotel. A few of the houses are built of adobe bricks, and the rest are of wood.
At the lower end stands the Kpiscopal Church and Public School House; both well
built buildings.
The agricultural land in this section is exceedingly ricli, the greater part of
which is occupied, excepting I'emberton Meadows. The prospects for the farmers
here are now brighter than they have been for the past few years. Railway work
has cai'sed stock, and other produ(.'(! to command a high price, so that farmers
pro-per. The average yield of wheat in this valley is es imati-d at 25 bushels to the
acre. The yield of grain on Pavilion Mountain, which is at a higher elevation,
averages about 'ib bushels to the acre. The summit of tliis mountain is a great ex-
panse of land covered with grass, and with creeks, which never fail, running
through it. It affords pasture for large herds of cattle and other stock. The
valley of Pavilon, which is entirely owned by Captain Martley, J. P. and his
family, .yields rich crops of hny and grain. Prairie chickens and grouse are
plentiful in this vicinity, and on the mountains arcf deer and wild sheep. Close by
is a good flour mill.
Two miles south of the town of Lillooet are the flour mills, which make
excellent flour. One mile further on is Seton Lake, which is fifteen miles in length,
and only separated irom Lake Anderson by a portage a mil*- across. The length
of the latter lake is seventeen miles. At the nearest end of Set»n Lake lies the
hull of one of the steamers used on these waters in early days for forwarding goods.
The climate is enjoyable and salubrious. Very little riin falls, ^o that it is neces-
sary to irrigate all crops. Snow falls to ab'iut a depth ot six inches in December,
and is gone about the middle of .March. The thermometer rarelj' falls below zero.
In summer it rises to 96° in the shade, but the evenings are agreebly cooled by the
breezes from the neighbouring mountain. Melons, gr.ipes, tomatoes, and other
delicate fruits ripen well in the open air; and it seems heedless to add the ordinary
products of the orchard thrive.
The Government maintains a wagon road from here to Clin.on, by which
means a weekly mail is received; a trail to Lytton, over which the goods for the
town are packed; a trail to High Bar, and a wagon road to Pascetqua (on Seton

Lnku), for the use of farniprf) Hiid miner!). The IiuliaiiH, who nuiiihor about 400,
in this neighborhood tire hiippy and contented. They have engaged in agricultural
puriiuitit with a will, and are doing iill in their power to inuke their land productive.
The Indians although not given to mining for a li>ng continued period, lake to it
in the spring and autumn, when the waters of the rivers are at their lowest, and
they get out a grt!iit deal of gold from the cievicei* and bars of the adjacent streams.
These Indians make good farm lubourcrs; they supply the town with wood
and fuel, and pack on their horses the most of tho gouda used here, and thun the
settlers are, in a great measure, dependent on them.
TiiK DisTiiK^T OF LiLLOOKT Comprises, in addition to the tributary branch
of Uiidge Kiver, m>'ro than UiO miles of the FraHor. along the banks of which, as
bi'fore shown, there are rich auriferous depo.sits, which are partially and intermit-
tently work(!d by the natives with protltablo results. There is unquestionably in this
tract a \ast opening with the scientilic appliances of the present day, for the future
investment of capital. About three miles below the village of Lillooet, but on the
right bank of the Fraser, issues the Kiver Scton, a rapid )<tream, but with a course
of three miles only. It discharges through a narrow jjorge the waters of Lakes
Seton and Anderson, deep mountain lakes, fed from the coast range, connected
by a channel of a about a mile in length, and in united extent some thirty-tive
miles or more. From Anderson, at the head of those lakes, there is a portage (in
earlier days a i^tage roid) which connects these lakes with Pcmberton Meadows and
the waters of Harrison Kiver, and thence with Douglas on the Harrison Lake. It
was by this ruute that, until the route was suspended by the more direct, but infi-
nitely more tostly road through Yale to Lylton, the whole transport towards the
interior was performed.
Pcmberton Meadows, here casually alluded to, present a wide expanse of
rich agricultural land. Thut the advantages of this tract have not, so far, been
adequately availed of, may be ascribed solely to the isolated position (under pre:>ent
circumstances) of this locality. Few white residents are to be found here; but the
natural advantages are great. The Indians, however, with that aptitude which
characterizes the aborigines of this coast, avail themselves largely of the productive
Fjil and the genial climate. This tract appears to be specially favorable for the
culture of the bean; and from this source, as wo are informed, a large proportion of
the supply of this essential article of cunsumptiun, for railroad provision, is annually
derived. There is a Government road or trail, intended for the driving of cattle,
from Lillooet, by the way of Seton and Anderson Lakes and Femberton Meadows,
to Howe Sound on the coast; but so far this road has been little travelled, whatever
its future advantages may prove to bo.

The aummit of Mount Soaea ia aeven thonaand feet above aea level. It ia euaily
reached on boraebnck in about four houra ride from Clinton. The viewa from thia
mountain on a clear day are exceedingly grand . There are two other mountaina,
not ao high, from which very good viewa can be had. Pavilion Mountain ia about
fifteen milea diatant, where the aoenory and hunting cannot be & .paaaed.
Parties fond of good fishing can have ail the sport they desire in
a creek running a short distance from the Hotel; eAao two
lakes, one about one and a-half miles distant, on
which is a raft ; the other about three miles
where fishing cannot be surpassed. There

CARIBOO DIHTRIOT DESORIP'JTVE.
321
CARIBOO DESCRIPTIVE,
Situated in thu iiorlb-onst part of the Provinoo, is notncl for its gold fields, and
tliu ricliness of its placer miiuis. It is estimated that since the (ievelopmerit of Cariboo
ill 18iil, nearly $40,000,000 in goM dust has lioeii produced in this locality, probibly
more. The production of gold for th(! past threi; or f uir years has boon botweei)
$5011,000 and $750,0 annually. The Cariboo mining regi.in propcsr extends from
Horse ¥\y Kivor, near the southern lino of the District, for some 150 miU^ north-
ward; and e.istward for a distance of 75 mil(!s; withal it may be asserted tlial,
extensive ns th(! district i , and encouraging as the past has been, ■y wide tract
remains still only partially '., nowii,or, as it is localy termed "prospected." Hydraulic
mining has of late attracted atttMitioii among Carib )o miner-. Many i>f tiie ..Id
cla ms supposi^l lohavtibeen worked out by the old process of drifting, have ri^ci'iilly
uiidei' the hydraulic process been f luiid to yie d remun rativi^ly. The numerous
quartz ledges of the District have not yet bwin developed. An atti^mpt wa< made
in 1878 to ti;st tluiir value, but owing to the want of co-operation, and theconsciquent
failure of capital, no successful issue has so far been ol)lained| but the ore assays
favourably, and with time, a dittenMit result may be predicted. The benches on
both sides of tlie Fraser liiver from Soda Creek, f)r a distance of '1) miles aliove
QiKisnel, are worked to great a. Ivantage, p iiicipiiUy by t'le Chitie;e. S(»mis of
tlie.se benches are l.'iO feet above the river. Th.s sainii miy be said of some of the
other largo streams in the District.
Cmmate. AoRictjLTOBE, .feo . &0. —The agricultural portion of Cariboo dis-
tri(^t, may be said to coimuence at the southern boundary, au I extend to tha moun-
tains at Williams Lake, at an elevation of 210 feet above the sen. one of the prettiest
places in the Province; Soda Creek. IC.) ) feet, an.l A.le.icaudria. 1 120 feet. Tliere are
several extensive and productive farms, some of the finest in the cc^uutry, and
yielding in some instances, annually from between 2.")0.0l)0 to 300,000 lbs. of grain
There are two flour mills in this part of the country; one owned by .VI(?ssr8. Hamil-
ton & Griffin, at the l."»0 mile lioiise, and the other i)y Messrs. Hawks & (.!ollins, at
Soda Greek. Notwithstanding the elevaiion above the sea, the climate from Wil-
liams Lake to the mountains, is very warm in summer In winter, snow falls from
one to two feet iu depth, and Lists for several luontha. TUe length and severity of
the winters in the mountains, is a great drawback to the successful w<)rkiui,' of the
mines A few claims are worked during the winter, but under gre:ii .lisadvantage.
In the mining region about Barkerville (the principal town in the district) snow
commences to fall about the middle of November, and lasts until June. The ther-
mometer may indicate at times, 40 degs. below zero; stiil it is a surprise to new com-
ers to tind tie winters so pleasant. Cariboo enjovs the advantage of having an
abundance of wood, for mining purposes, and nuuiorous streaius of the purest
water. In all respects, the climate of Cariboo is extremely healthy, and notwith-
standing the elevation above the sea of portions of this district, few of the inconven-
iences, ordinarily supposed to be iu.separable from such elevation, are here exper-
ienced .
The town of liarkorvillo, on Williams Creek, at t'te terminus of iho wagon
ro.id, has a population of about 25), including whices, Chinese, and Indians; three

2 biikerie!', I blacksmith, 1 school, a theatre building;;, and a vmy ef&uient tire
brigade, 2 doctors, 1 hospital, a p^st and telegraph ofSce, 4 carpenters, Oovernment
Assay Office, a church of England, and a Wosleyan chapel.
Richtiold, the site of the Court House and Government Office, one mile nearly
south on the same creek, contains 2 saloons, 1 dentist, 1 lumber mill, a gaol, 2
blacksmiths, and a Roman Catholic church.
Stanley, on Lightning Creek, 13 miles lower down the road, once a busy
thriving little town, is now greatly reduced.
Quesnul 1,490 feet above the sea, at the confluence of the Eraser and Quesncl
Rivers, is a beautifully situated town of about one hundred inhabitants; it has 2
hotels, 4 men hant and trader's stores. 3 Chinese store , i' saloons, 2 butcher shops,
2 blacksmith shops, I Chinese baker's shop, and a .«choi.l. Here furs are collected
from a vast surrounding district by the Hudson's Bay Company; this being a
CL-ntrul depot.
Soda Creek, on Fraser River, 53 miles below Quoanel, has 2 hotels and store.",
a telegraph office, and post office. During the summer a river steamer plies
betwecm this place and Quesnel, thus facilitating the journey to the niines, and the
transport of provisions.
A small town is situated at the Forks of the Quernol River, about 58 miles
north-east, as the crew flics, from the 150 mile house, and about 80 miles from the
mouth of Quesnel River, Population about 25(*, principally Chinese.
Cariboo has vast undeveloped resources. The stnail area that has been pros-
pected in the past having proved so very rich, is a strong argument in favor of
Cariboo eventually becoming one vast field of extensive quart,4 and other mining
operations.

CASSIAR DESCRIPTIVE.
The disitrict of Cassiar is boiindoil on thi^ south by tho S^th di^groo of north
latitudi!, on iht! oust by th(i «l(!etoral district of Cariboo, on th(i nortli by tho th
dogrci! of north latitude, boing the n»>i'thern l)oiindarie« of iiie Province, and on the
west by tho Territory of Alartka.
Attention whs diiiwn t' Casxiar by tho disco vi-ry of gold on Thibort Creek
in tho year 1H"I!, by HonryThiberi and paity. Thii parliculiirs of thiH pioneer's
trip across tho continent is to bci found in thu " G.iidi! to Hriiish Columbia,'' pub-
lished ill l87f<, and need not bo ropi-atcd hem.
A'lriferouH deposits are found extiMiding north for anoul IMIO niileii from a
point on Stickeen River, known as Glonora (the port of entry i, and from uasl to
West for lib lUt 100 miles. Tho principal strca-ns on which mining has been prose-
cuted profitably, are the' Dt!a^e, Thibert, McDame, and Walker Crocks. It is
true that go!d in paying quantities has been found on several other streams, but
i>nly in sufficiency to employ a few miners. The total output of gold l)y the Dis-
trict, up to ihe prosenr time, is esiiranled at 84,478, 1>74. It cannot bu denied that
Cassiar has passed the zenith rif its gdld producing capacity, s' far as is. known;
yet there are many oM channels to be opened up oti the creeks ab ly.- mentioned,
which will, in tho majority of instanc 's. doubtless repay the outlay, and the work-
ing of which Ciin bo perfirraed during the winter months. It is also true that if
mining could bo prisecuted continuously for six or seven months of the year, this
would be, for a length 'if time to come, a profitable Held for the gold miner. Owing
to most of the diggings being surface, or shillow mining, the length of the seasons
has a great dea' to do with tlie mining success. The country is so extensive that it
is difficult for private individiials to prospect it thoroughly, although much has
Jbeen done by private means. It would, wo think, be w so for the Government to
appropriate a liberal sum f >r the thorough prospecdug of this district, as there is
not the lea.st doubt that remunerative gold deposits are waiting to be developed, and
that a mining population will be found in this country for many years to come.
The j)opuiation of the district during the summer of 1881, white and mon-
golian, engaged in all pursuits, was over 700; but the discovery of gold bearing
quartz at Takou, in the neighbouring Territory, drew from this district a portion
of these
Furs exported, at past prices, have realized about $20,000 per anniim. The
beaver skins are of the best grade, while the rartin are not up to a number one
standard. Bear, otter, lynx, fox, and wolverine .skins are of an average quality.
The climate is healthy, boing temperate in summer but cold in winter, attain-
ing, sometime, 77° of cold of Fahrenheit's thermometer. Withall it is pleasant,
being dry. The Bprinj; and summer seasons in the vicinity of Dease, Thibert, and
McDame Creeks, last about Ave months; but there are many pmces on the hill
sides of these creeks, where frost is to be found in the ground the year round, which
is greatly against the working of hydrttulic mining.
Ihe features of the district are mountainous, and but little can be said to be
fit for agricultural purpo.<es; although alon^, 'te banks of the Stickeen, on farms

now being cultivated, h11 the hardy cereals grow to perfection. Potatoes, of the
very best quality, and in quantities, are grown and sent to the mines, over a very
fair trail. The distance from Telegraph Creek (the head of navigation on 8tiukeen
River) to the south end of Dease Lake, is 72} miles. Then the serviceable propeller
" Lady of the Lake," carries the t'aveller to Dease Greek, a distance ef 18 miles.
Thus Cassiar is reached with less labor than probably any other mining district in
P'ovince. Dea^e Lake is on the wnter-shed between the Pacific and Arctic Oceans;
its altitude is 2,75U feet above the sea level, and its latitude about 69° north. Various
kinds of veget:ible8 are cultivated here with moderate success. Potatoes are often
found to weigh a pound each.
Proceeding down Dease River for about 75 miles, MoDame Greek is reached.
Its altitude is about 190<) feet. At this point potatoes, and many other vegetables,
grow to perfection (the oritur has oaten now potatoes on the 25th July, of a» good
a quality as are produced ii.v where) and still further down the river, which is, of
course, at a less elevAtion, -icultural products could be produced more surely and
profitably; and in years to < me, when civilization has reached out its reclaiming
arms, they may yet be seen i appy homes resting on the terraces, and amid the now
wild valleys of Dease and Deloire Riverr,,
Its rivers and lakes teem with fiiih, and its forests abound with game. As
many as 40 Garibou or Reindeer have been seen in a band on the mountains of
Dease Greek.
The timber is principally spruce and pine, never attaining great si;ie, and it
will never be an article of commercial value.

junction with I'ortlnd Inlot - that ix, tu lii« piini whiin- tho oalmon cunnery of
Mr. H. K. CroHsdailii is situated. In its uj>|mm eouri»o the Niiss is a dncp liut vory
rapid stre.im, intvigahio only lor canoes, and these have to be polled along, and in
places to bo tracked up with tow-linoH.
(iKNKiiAL <'IIAUA«TKK OK KIVKK u.\HiN. — Oil the lowor Nass \vu find high
Qiountains covered with forests reaching to tho water's edge. Prom Mr. CVoas-
daile'H cannery upwards tho mountains recede from the river; and hero wo tiiid
extunsivo tracts of low land covered with brush and limber. Many of these low
bottom lands, if cluarod, could be mnde very productive in the growth <if c reals
and root crops; or they couM be turned into good cattle runs. In i ourse of time,
EH ihe country bacomus more Nettled, this clinnge will presumably take place.
Along tho upper course of the river there are e.sten.sive patches of fertilt" Ian i . which,
by the accidental aid of Hre, have become partially cleared. There are already one
or two white settlors on tho ground, and thoir mot crops are ainong the tlne-t in the
Province. This upper country, at present so little known, is cap iblo of supporting
a coHBiderable number of settlers.
MiNKKALH.— Up to tho jiresont time few minerals have been found in the
Nass Valley. Gold in small quantities has been taken from ihe upper stream, and
it 18 probable that, with closer e.xamination, this metal in paying quantities would
be found. No thorough prospecting ha-i yet been undertaken, nor htut any miner-
alogi'.al survey been made.
Cannekiks. — There arc two tsalmon canneries on Nass River, the first
established being Mr. H. E. Croasdailo's. This is erected on a fine pioie of flat
land about sixteen miles from the mouth of the river. The mtin building \> pro-
vided with machinery of the most approved kind. There is ali^o a large and well
stocked store on the premise?, which is princip illy patronized by the .vork people;
the greater numb'T «f whom are Indians. Here the young men ure taught every-
thing necessri^ry in the making of cans, tho boili ig offish, and, in fact, all that is
required to produce as good a tin of salmon as any to be found in the market.

Peninsula, Huparated from tho south end of Alaska by tho Port'and Inlet. Sur-
rounded with Islands, which act a» a break-water from the ocean, Ih ono of the
finest harbourn in Britieh Columbia. The town is situated on a hill-ide sloping to
the west, backed to the north and east and south-east by mountains, with a Ane
prospect to the north-west. Population 800 Indiami, besides those in charge of the
H. B. Co. pout, and connected with the Mission; two white men reside at the village.
Climate not very oold; huow doe^ not remain long. It i^ Haid there is some gold
and silver lioai ing rocks in the immi«diate vicinity; alsoooal in abundanoe is reported
to be in tho mountains. Fur trade is geiting loss, and now a cash bn-iness is done,
hence more money in circulation, which is earned by the people <i. .he village at
tha fisheries and through other induslriea. The timber is not very near the village,

miloH, and "nly nvmi' •■ clinring to mnko rich aruble and pasture land. There are
aho in many part»> extensive marMhy flatH clothed with brushwood, under which lies
the richest Roil, Ih^t only needs drninin / to produce f lod for thousands of iudustrious
poo|nne. The r>vers are numerous, Ctiough not large; but the islands are so inter-
fectyd by innumerable Inlets that every pf^rt of them (except tho eastern shore of
Graham Island l is approachable for both large and small craft.
Mining Kksouuikh. — The mining resources of these IslanJs are undoubtedly
very uxt'intive, and will prove t<» be the main feature « f interest. Mines of wen 1th
lie '.id in bedn of coal which only require some bnergetic men to prospect and
capitalii-ta to work them. Five years ago Mr. Dawson wis employed by the
Dominion GovHn.ment to survey Queen Charlotte Islands, who as a practical
geologi.-t, spoke most favourably of the indications of many fields of coal. About
fifteen years ago r coal mine was op* ned on the southern end of (iruham Island,
ab lUt 16 miles up 8kidegate Inlet. This mine was worked for about four years,
and the quiJ'.ty of coal produced was the tlnest anthracte. But unfortunately owing
to a fault i' tlie stratum it was abandoned, no doubt through wa it of capital, as
^uch a difUculty could presumably have been easily ovurcomo with the continued
application of ordinary minmg Hkill. iSinco its aband'>nmont sev >ral oti.er parties
have been prospecting evary year in the neighbourhood. Very satisfactory returns
have been obtained, and the work of further examinati in is s'ill being carried on.
Inuustkikb. — The only industry established here is the Skidegate Oil
Company's iSteam Oil Works. This Company was formed in 1879; the sharehol-
ders are Wm. Sterling, C. Morton, J. McB. iSmilh and U Trenholm; the capital
invested is $24,<i0 >. This enterprise is exclusively conflned to the manufacture of
oil from a small spauies of shark, commonly known as the dog-fi>h. The livers of
tlies" sharks ttre very rich, yielding from 70 to 80 per cent, of oil which, when well
rotined, is of a pale timber colour, and is highly spoken of by engineers and
machinists, whose numerous testimonials substantiate its value as a tirst-class
lubricant. The works are situated at Skidegate Inlet, in a comfortable harbour on
the southern end of Graham Island, and consists of four wooden buildings, the
cBain cue haviug an arei> of 2UU0 square feet ou the ground floor, which contains a
HtGit^'^ boiler, three retorts, drying pans, settling tanks, dco. The company employs
prineipally native labor, with a few skilled fishermen, as oversoers. The sharks are
caught in fr^m eight to fifteen fathoms, with trawl li;. -h, each furnished with RM)
hooks, baited with herring. These lines are under-run two or three times daily,
with varied success, bometimes when fish are pleutitul, 25() are taken from one
trawl at each lifting. The small boats employed at the trawls, are attended by the
company's steamer, and tho fish are brought to the quay, when they are placed in
cars, which are hoisted on an incline, by a steam winch to the works There the
livers are extracted and passed into the retorts, and the process of manufouture is
proceeded With.
TRAnnio Posts.— The.^chief trading places ou the Inlands are at Massett,
where the Hudson's Lay Company have a store, and the store in connection with
the Skidegiite Oil Co. before mentioned . The chief item in trade is fur seah, in
which article nbont f S.OUO or $10,00U of trade is annually done.
TiHBKB is very plentiful, yellow cypress, spruoe, pine, red oedar and other
valuable kinds '\re in great quantit?es, but nnlikt^ many parts of this province, saw
mills might be established in very close proximity lo iLo Pacific ocean, .ind this fact
enhances the value of timber of the Q. C. Islands. Mills could be built in Virago
Sound, a beautiful and commodious harbor, into which sailing ships could oome
without being towed for more than ten miles.
QUEEN CHARLOTTE ISLANDS DESORIPTIVK.
345
AoRicDLTDBB. — The agricultural resources of this part of British Columbia
are generally much under valued. From exteuHive kuowledRe of these Islands, and
esptiially of Graham Island (which will be the part chosen for agricnltnrul pursuits
as being much loss moMiitainous than the other lijlaiid^ in Queoii Cnarlutte grou)>).
The writer can npeak defliiilely.
As ha:» already bcon mentioned, there are extensive low lands lying betwoen
Massett and Kosu Spit, well adapted for stock farms; and as there are no wolves on
these Islands sheep, as well as large cattle, ought to do well here, with a little cine
during the winter, which is generally mild. All along thi' northern end and east-
ern Bide of Graham Island are extensive flat tracts of land, which only need clearing
to make the finest farms. Potatoes, turnip?, carrots, and other vegetabl(!s are
raised by the Indians in such quantities a< to supjily, not only themselves, but other
tribes of Indians on Prince of Wales Island. Fruit trees, such as apples, currant,
and gooseberry do well.
There is little doubt that many hundreds of industrious families of agricul-
turists might Und a home on Queen Charlotte Islands.
PI^H. — This very important and valuable article of food, is found in great
abundance around the-e Islands. Every littlt stream swarms with salmon; and
halibut can be taken in almost every part of the surrounding waters. Near the
North Island cod can be caught in largo quantities; and sliell-ll«h of every descrip-
tion, except lobsters, are f >und in unlimited quantities throughout. Herring also
can be ca ight in abundance. Every where fish, of line quality, abound.
Wild Fowl. — Another valuable supply of wholesome food may be obtained
from the vast number of wild fowl which frequent everj part of these Islands. The
geoso are very nuiMorous. Tens of thousands move about up the inlets, near the
rivers, and on the murshy flats. Grouse are numerous. During 'the three j'car's
stay here the writer has found this great supply of wild fowl to be an inestimable
blessing, and does not think it possible n over estimate its value.
MiHsioNs. — In the autumn of 1876, the tirst F.rote.stant Mission was com-
menced amongst the Hydah's by the Rev. \V. H. Collinson. In 1879 he was suc-
ceeded by Mr. G. Sneath, who lias carried on the niissiin up to the present date.
Mkams of tr.^vkllinq. — The general means of locomotion used by the
Indians are their crnoes; and as there are no trails from une part of the Islandj to
another, this may be said to he the only present means of transport generally,
thorgh horses can be used between Massett and Skidegate. The writer has ridden
many times between the above amed places. After leaving Massett on horseback
the scenery is peculiarly lovely. In the autumn those flats are covered with wild
strawberries and other berries in great p.-ofusion.
Inhabitkd Villages and their Populations. — The inhabited villages
of Graham Island are Massett and Yen, situated on Massett Inlet; Kung, situated
on Virago Sound, and Skidegate. Thas'- four villages contain about live hundred
inhabitants. Massett is the most important village on Queen Charlotte group, and
contains over three hundred inhabitants.
Since the Mission was comtpenced, many of the Indians from Yen and Kung
have come to reside there t? enable them t ^ E?end the r children to the Mi.ssion
School. Another village, known as the Gold Harbour Village, containing
over one hund-^d people, is situattd on a small island in Skidegate Inlet, between
Graham and Moresby Islands. The inhabited villages on Moresby Island, are Cum-
shewah, Skedans, Tanoo, and Ninstinoe. These four villages only contain in all
about two hundred people.

Uninhahitki) Vir,LA<»K8. — Thi' villages ,^ow deserted are about, if not quite,
as numerous and oxtensivo a^^ Ihoso at present inhabited, evidencing an enormous
docieise of the population. On Graham Island there are four deserted villages, sit-
uated respectively at Virago Snund, Massett Inlft, Hose Spit and Cape Ball. The
village tin Massett Inlet, which is only a mile from Massett, contains many strong
Indian houses and carved poles in good preservation, and was only finally deserted
three years ago The deserted village on Virago Hound was left about the same
time, tlie people from boih places coming to ri-siile at Massett. The other two vil-
lages at Ro!o Spit and Capo Ball must have been deserted for many years, as (here
are very few r>'iiiains of the houses left, and only one carved pole standing at Cape
Ball, to testify to the past gn^alness of the fast-decaying red man.
Th'Te are two othi-r desertfid villages on Moresby Island, one situated near
to Mitchell Harbour on the West C last, and the other about three miles from the
village of Cuinshewah. At the latter of these two villages there are the remains of
several houses and some carved ptles in such a state of preHervation as would lead
one to conclude that not many years ago Indians were here in considerable numbers.
Mkchaki<;al Skill and oihkk Indian Cauvku Wohk as dihpi.aykd
AMONGST theHyuahh— For many years past the llydaha of Queen Charlotte Islands
have been famous for their skill in curving, both in wood and silver. The southern
llydahs have also exhibited much sKill of lute years in carving slite. The main
feature in wood carving has long been the large totem or crest poles, many of
which adorn every village. These poles are made of red cedar, and are from 2'» to
80 feet long, carved generally from bottom to top with Indian devices. Th^ length
of these poles respiclively indicates the rank of the chief who has erected it.
They generally cost from $1500 to $2000 each, no man being allowed to erect one
wi(;hout he is prepared to make a very large distribution of property. Each oi
tliese distributions is the outcome of years of toil and saving. An Indian who as-
pires to chieftainship strains every nerve to collect the necessary amount of property
to enable him to make a distribution, and so gain the right to erect a pole Every
dollar he earns goes for blunkets. His whole life is absorbed in. the attainment of
this ont object. The necessary number of blankets being secured, he calls together
the people and gives to each person blankets in proportion to his rank. The carved
pole is then creeled and the giver of the feast is a happy man. Their skill in carv-
ing on silver is chiefly exhibited on bracelets, brooches, and other small ornaments.
The carving in slate is almost entirely confined to the Skidigate people.
This slaie is found in the bed of a small stream about ten mites from the village
of Skidigate, near to the old coal mine. The chief objects carved m this material
are models of the totem or crest pole? spoken of above.
Another (perhaps the most useful^ branch of mechanical skill- displayed by
the Masset people, is in caioe making. They are beyond a doubt the best canoe
m ikbrs on the coa«t. Nearly all the canoes used by the Tsimpseans are made by
the Uydahs. These canoes are often over fifty feet long, and will carry from two
to four tons each.
This uescription of Q, 0, Islands, their position, size, resources and inhabitants,
is written from personal observation made during three years residence amongst the
H^'dahs, by one who understands their language, and was thus enabled to obtain
trustworthy information.

After having poticed the three prouiiiieut stations on the southern Hea-board

METLAKAHTLA,
some eithteen or twenty miles from Fort Simpson, and on tbo same shore, is a pure-
ly Indian settlement, which hns grown up under the fostering oart.- of Mr. William
Duncan, a lay niisMonary of the Church Missionary Society of London. The ad-
mirable results of this gentleman's ondeavors, cannot be too highly extolled. A
neat and well-ordered village, superior in some respects, perhaps, to many a rural
village of the Old World, has arisen in the wilderness, N\ith a population of some
800 or more, good order and sobriety prevail. There is a good school; at wl ich, as
far back as 1879, about IHO clean and neatly dressed children attended. There is a
church which, planned and perfected by the local industries and intelligence alone,
vsave only the imported windows and some minor adjuncts) excels certainly in size,
and probably in appearance, any other ecclesiastical structure in the province. Var-
ious industries are prosecuted here; for instance, the sawing of lumber by a water-
mill under native charge; the manufacture of barrels for flsh-curing; blacksmith's
work, and other mechanical arts. Last year a factory was established for the weav-
ing of oloth and other woolen fabrics, in which, early in the summer, the young
Indian women had already required great proficiency. This year a salmon can-
nery, for exportation of the product abroad, was established; and, with the iniative
aid of a skilled operator, the result of the season's work, we are informed, is most
encouraging. AU thiese industries, we may i.dd, are prosecuted with local native
labour; and the results speak no less hip;hly for the energy of the leader through
whose prolonged efforts to carry out the object of his appointment they are mainly
due, than for the docility nnder instruction of the once barbarous neophytes of Met-
lakahtla. Little cnltivation has so far been ,ittempted in this neighborhood beyond
that of the potato, the turnip and other ordinary vegatables; but these are grown in
sufacient quantities and thiive well.
Metlakahtla is seated a few miles, only, east of the track followed by steamers
plying between Victoria and the more northern ports; and, possessed of a good har-
bor, is readily accessible.

largest river of the province, discharging within oar limits on the Pacific coast. Its
estuary is .livided by a large island, l)oth the including channels being navigable.
Above this is the t pacious bay of Port fissington; at the head of which the naviii;a-
tioD of the river may be said fairly to begin. This river is navigable for a certain
distance with steamers of rioderate draught; and, with canoes, to the head of the
Babine lakcg, verging on the coast range of mountains. Thence, through a low
local depression in the range by a portage of nine miles, the waters oi Btaart's lake

Is distant from Victoria about 400 miles. Its situation is on Cam|ibcII*K
Island, near the entrance of \Iilb:tuk Sound, in latitude 52 <1egs., 6 uiin. It is an
Indian villagi-, with a population of about 251'. There are also two oul-lvii y villa-
ges, with a combined population of about 180. The Hudson Bay Company have a
trading store here, and obtain a considerable amount of skins, chiefly of the fur-
sea].
The Indians get an abundance of fish — halibut, herrings, salmon, &c. The
latter are caught in several small streams. There is an abundance of black tail
deer, and several lakes in th? vicinity afford a good supply of trout.
Two years ago the Methodist Church of Canada, established here a mission
anibng the Indians. Their buildings consist of a school house and dwelling bouse
for the Missiouacy . The Revd. C. .VI. Tate is now in charge. A day school is kept
up, and several of the young people are able to read and write very nicely, and
there has been perceptible improvement in the habits of the people.

near the mouth ^ould probably be a good situation for a cannery.
Another tribe of Indians, who speak the same language, live at Kimsquit,
north of Bella Coola, on another bramh of the same inland water, known us
Dean's Canal. There are two very flue streams of water at the head, with an
abundance of flne salmon. Another striiiim on the South Bentinck Ann niiglr
possibly supply enough fish f >r one or two canneri(?s; but it is almost unknown,
except to Indians. 'I'liere are four tribes of the Bella Cnola Indians, viz. : Bella
Coola, with a population of 300; Sinak-tlim, 7ii; Taliy-omish, 70; and Kim«quit, 1.50.
The country between Bella Bella and Hkeona lliver is very '.itt'e known to
white people. A little pro«|)ecting has bo done, but with indeterminate result. The
Inaians get a good many furs, such as mink, martin, beaver, bear, otter, and wolf.
Two tribes of Indians, speaking tlio Bella Bella language, ar»( located at the
heads of Douglas and Gardner Inlets, the entrance to which lies midway between
Milbank Sound and Skeeiia liiver. The names of the tribes are Kit-ah-m iht and
Kit-lope; they number in al about 400 people.
The climate throughout the whole of tl is part is mild; the thermometer in
the coldest weather seldom or never going below zero.
The Hudson Bay Company's steamer make* regular trips every three weeks,
calling at Weekeeno, Bella Bella, and Skeena lUver. The Steam.-hip Saidonyx,

1833 at Bella Bella, is now in a very diauianlled condition. Some of the palisades
remain; and the bastions, once formidably armed with cannon, suggest in their
ruins, the remembr.ince uf a bj'gone dread. But a new era. and altered circum-
stances have succeeded. The law has asserfd its sw:ij-; and the dangers from
Indian molestation heretotore they restrained, have vanished Hence the security
which now prevails around Fort Kupert.
The site of this po.st. seated near the northern e.xtremity of Vancouver Island,
has been admirably selected. With a full exposure to the sun, and a perfect natural
drainage, every variety of ordinary garden culture thrives here luxuriantly. Tht;
enclosure, indeed, which adjoins the palisades of tho quandam "Fort," display .
in due seas m, a copious variety of the ordinary fruits which are represented in
our cottage gardens in England, and not a few of the old-fashomd flowers.
Hollyhoiks, for instance, we have been informed by an ufflcer formerly in charge
of this post, have been known to overtop, in their growth, the ancient palisadjs,
eighteen fuel in height..
Fort Rupert is the center, or at least occupies a central position, of a tract
prospectively of much importance. A trail, of some eighteen miles in length con-
nects it with Quatsino Sound, on the west coast of Vancouver Island, where already
the quest of c6al, known to exist in the neighbourhood, is being actively prosecuted,
and will) fair prospects of success.

ALKhT BAY.
Some twenty miles Fuuth ot* Rupert is on Cormornnt Iglniid; a convenient
stopping point for vessels on thiar wny to and from the noithern ports of the
Province, ond the ports beyond, in the Alaska Territory — all pursuing this contmon
route Opposite to this puint, on the main shore of Vancouver Island, and about
three miles distant, is the mouth of the Nimltish, a prolific ualmon Hlream. At
Al.'i-t Huy n salmon cniuiiiig factory bus been established by muaas of capital from
Viutoriii ti.jijointid with local aid; and the results so fur as ascertained, have been
encouriigi'iK- There is ut this point a station, sustained by tlie Church Missionary
Society of London, which, pi-esumably, will with lime efl'.-t't muoh improvement
among the so far barbarous (yet not malevolent) tribes aiound.
The course of the main Nimkish liiver is ab >ut six miles only in length,
nnd is readily navigable with canoes up to the Kah-mutr.en Lnkt;; a tine sheet of
water tifteen miles oi more in length. The tributaricH filling in at the^upper end
of this lake connect with streams discharging into Nootkii Sound and other adjacent
Inlets on the west cciast; and theie are i)racticablb Indian trails which connect these
several points with the respective heads nf iiavigatiin. Gold mining has been suc-
cessfully prosecuted in this neighbourhood, but with only m derate results.

Canadian Pacific Railway, British Columbia.
The portion of the Canadian Pacific Bnilway, now under construction in
British Columbia, is the link connecting the weHtern end of Kamloops Lake, at
Savona'B Ferry, with Port Moody, the Pacific terminus on Burrard Inlet. Gulf of
Georgia. This link is divided into flvo sectiins or contracts, all held by A. Onder-
donk and associ.ites, who are pushing their great undertaking to completion with a
vigor and energy that command the admiration of both tyro and professional.
These contracts or sect! uns are: —
Contract 60, (Section A), Kmoryto Boston Bar, 29 miles in length;
do. 61, {Section B), Boston Bar to Lytton. 29 do.
do. 62, (Stction C), Lytton to Junction Flat, i8^ miles in length;
do. 63, ^Section D), Junction Flat to Savona's Ferry, 40} miles in length;
do. 92, Port Moody to Emory, 85} miles in length.
The total mileage embraced in the above contracts amountsto 212.5, and the
estimated cost is $0,3.^8,000; adding |25>),00'i for the bridge spanning the Fraser
at Cisco Flat makes the total estimated cost for the finished road, from the sea to
l^avona's $9,578,0u0, exclusive of the rails and fastenings which are furnished by
the Dominion Government for the four upper 3?ctions.
The first four contracts were let in the winter of 1879, and ground was broken
thereon in the early spring following before the snow had yet disappeared, and work
has continued unmterruptedly ever since, despite the severe winters and unpre-
cedented freshets that have oci-urred. The contract for the western section, between
Port Moody and Emory, was taken at the beginning of the present year, and work
inaugurated almost immediately thereafter.
Taken as a whole the section between Emory and Savona's is probably more
diflScutt to construct and contains a grenter quantity of material, and a larger num-
ber of bridge and trestle structures than any other piece of railway of the same
length ever constructed in North America. That portion between Emory and
Boston Bar, is, without doubt, unapproached on this continent in its magnitude,
and only finds parallel in the great trans-andean and trans-alpine roads of Peru and
Switzerland. This section embraces ^9 miles, of which nine are light work. The
average cost per mile is $80,000, several individual miles costing $2uu,000. There
are thirteen tunnels in nineteen miles of this distance, one series of four in the first
mile out of Yale, and another series of six occurring in a section of seven thmsand
feet further east. For twenty miles the road bed is literally hewn out of the solid
granite, narrow places being made up with substantial masonry, and ravines,
gulches, and rivers crossed by handsome and lofty trestle anf truss bridges.

BBrnSH OOLUMBU DIBEOT(«T.
From Yale to Boston Bar the Fraser flnda a passage in the deep and narrow
gorge cleaving the heart of the Cascade Bange, with bold, precipitous walls thous-
ands of feet in height flanking it on either side. This canyon offers a natural, low
level route between the sea and the interior tabl^ l%nds , but its wild and rugged depths
present a defiant front that would appal any but the, railway builder o' the present
age.
To within twelve miles of Boston Bar oonstructicn was greatly facilitated by
a rough WHggon road already built, but beyond that point it was necessary, before
a blow could be struck, that a pack trail should be built, which was done at
eoormous cost, and, when finished, could only be travelled by the confiding mule
and steel-nerved mountaineer. The immense quota of heavy and varied plant,
" ^wder and supplies to keep several thousand men at work was transported over
-feep hnd sinuous trail, which now gives way to the rail and locomotive,
bi, ly kdvanoing to the front. The grade on this section is about completed, and
as fast as the bridging — perforce built with timber carried forward by train— is
finished, the rails creep ahead, and the iron way will soon be laid across the entire
section.
Owing to the heavy character of the work it was necesssry to attack it at
various points in order to complete the undertaking within reasonable time; grading,
therefor, has been in progress since the inauguration of the work on the several
sections as far east as Junction Flat. At this writing, grading, bridging and
tracklaying is being carried on in several places between Harrison River and
Junction Flat, a distance of 181 miles. Following the Fraser and Thompson
Bivers from Boston Bar, although the work is extremely heavy, the material olaski-
fication is chiefly earth and the line is far more accessible than in the gorge of the
Fraser; and by comparison is handled with ease, but it nevertheless presents many
dificulties to construction.
Below is given a table of the estimated quantities and classification of material
to be used on each of the four sections between Emory and Savona, as well as the
estimated cost of the work.

the line traverus the alluTial valley of the Fraser, the work of grading is very li^t,
bot in the laat twenty five miles towards Emory, extremely heavy rook work and
tnnneling is encountered.
In the 85^ miles are 2,700,000 onbio yards of earth excavation, 80,000 onbic
yards loose rook, and 576,000 onbio yards solid rook, in all 3,365,000 cubic yards,
adding which to the 7,249,000 cubic yards on the four eastern contracts, makes a
grand total of 10,600,000 oubio yards, exclusive of tunneling, to be moved by pick
and powder from Savona to the sea.
The amount of oridging and trestling along the entire line is very large;many
of the five hundred structures are of considerable magnitude, the grandest being the
lofty, three-spanned, cantilever steel and iron truss croRsing the Fraser over a chasm
eight miles below Lytton, at the confluence of the Thompson.
The roadway for this great northern transcontinental railroad, is far super-
ior to that of its southern competitors. The cuttings are formed to a width of 22
feet and the embankments 17. The tunnels are 22 feet wide by twenty one in height
The bridges are of the heaviest Howe Truss type, and the trestles correspondingly
strong. Track is laid with 60 pound steel rails, and is thoroughly sleepered and
deeply ballasted. The alignment and grades, for a mountain road, are easy and
economical.
To level a pathway, made so difficult by volcanic upheavals and deep river
drift, a vast army of laborers, and meohauics, numbering upwards of 7000
souls have been assembled, who, with the aid of the most modern machinery in-
genuity has devised, are all striving to accomplish by July, 1885, the great task set
before them. What has been already 'effected and the thorough organization that
prevails leave no room for doubt that their exertions will be rewarded by viewing
this work an accomplished fact probably before the date above appointed. What-
ever may be the viciuitudes that overtake them, and the embarrassments that nature
and the elements interpose to baffle their efforts, they never pause, never falter, but
grimly forge ahead and conquer.
At this writing the track is laid 23 miles east of, and 7 miles west of Emory,
making 80 miles in all. By the end of the coming year it is expected to have
uninterrupted communication by rail between Port Moody and Lytton, a distance
of 143 miles.
The contractors have loade Yale at the head of navigation, on the lower
Fraser, their headquarters, and at that point are located the general offices, the acci-
dent hospital and the construction and repair shops. These shops, although not
extensive, are very complete, being fitted up with the m< 't approved iron and wood
working machinery necessary for oar and engine construction, repair and
general work.
In the vicinity of Tale the Company have also thoroughly complete works
for the manufacture of aoids and nitro-glyoerine, with a capacity of 2000 lbs. per
day, of the highest grade of explosives. It is pleasant to be able to record that no
accident has ever occurred at these works during the two years they have been in
operation.
At Emory, five .r.iles below Yale, are situated the vast storage warehouses
for materials and supplies, which are issued from this point to the various oampi
along the line. There are three saw mills belonging to the Oompany engaged
exclusively in sawing bridge and construction timbers. There are also two steam-
boats owned and operated by the contractors as tenders along their works. One on
the lower Fraser and another, the intrepid "Skuzzy," the pioneer steamer of the

the memorie'' of our reHderti, wh 'ne wakn whitens the brond, troubled waters of the
mighty Frnser between Boston Bar and Lillooet.
The writer, who has often visited the^e great works, and here feebly essays t*
portray their salient features, has great giatitlcntiou in attesting to the humane
treatment, excellent food, comfortable lodging Hi)d fair wages that are given to
thuse sturdy w ^rkers gathore.l there. C mtentment apparently prevails, and this is
the surest indication that kin Iness tempered with consideration is the poll y of the
management. The care which is constantly exercised for ths personal safety of the
men, engaged as they almo:jt all are in h izarduus work, is nmiiifusted by the fact
tiat only 32 persons have lost their livos through accident sines April, IH80, up to
the proiient time November 1882, out of a daily average nf over 4,00n m«*n
employed during that period.
All able-bodied workers can find employment by applying on the works.
Stone cu ters, bridge carpenters, and timber men generally arc in demand, and
steady work assured them. Appended is a schedule of wages paid to several classes
of labor employed: Bridge carpenters, (Ist class), $3.50 2nd class, $8; masons,
3.50; blacksmiths, Ist class, 3; do. 2nd class, 2.50; do. helperr^, '^^ drillers,

themselves bed. board and lodging. Boarding-houses will be lot ated at convenient
intervals along the line. Board ^ per week. It will not be compulsory for em-

It shall be the duty of Pilots to assist the Master in snperiutendinK ^^<' u***

At a meeting of the Commissioners of the Victoria and Esquimalt Pilotage
District, held at Victoria, B. C, on the 12th July, 18H0, the following addition to
the "By-Laws, IHNO," was adopted:
"Whereas the piloUtge dues as provided fur in section 18 of the By-Laws,
1880, fall heavily upon steamers making regular voyages to British Columbian
waters, and whereas in the interests of the trade of Victoria and Esquimalt it is
desirable to obviate the burden referred to: — Be it therefore resolved, that steamers
making regular trips to Victoria and Esquimalt and having paid f 3 per foot into
and out of either harbor on the inward voyage and returning again to either of said
harbors within a period of 2U days, shall only pay $1.60 per font additional dues
on said vessels on the outward voyage (i. e. 75 cents per foot inwards and 75 cents
per foot outwards) for pilotage service tendered or rendered until said vessels pass
to the westward of a line drawn from Race Rocks to Point Angelos, i. e. to seaward
again.
Nanaimo Pilotaok Ratkm. — The rate of Pilotage inwards and outwards shall
be:— For vessels under 12 feet draught, fS.OO per foot; for vessels over 12 feet
draught, $4.00 per foot; for vessels in tow of a steam-tug, irrespective of draught,
fS.OO per foot; for steam vessels other than foreign tugs or tug-boats or steamArs
employed as such, whose master or mate has not a Pilot license, one-fourth less
than the above rates if a Pilot is employed.
Vessels spoken by a duly licensed Pilot shall pay to the said Pilot half the
full pilotage if his services are declined, but vessels arriving from sea by way of
the Gulf of Georgia without being spoken inwards by a Pilot, shall be exempt from
outward pilotage unless a Pilot l>e employed.
The Pilotage Authority may remit pilotage dues to steamers carrying Her
Majesty's mails between Kan Francisco and the Province of British Columbia, in
whole or in part, as to them may appear fit, provided such steamers call at the Port
of Nanaimo for th» nurpose of coaling and have on board a duly licensed Pilot, of
some other Pilotage district within the said Province, capable of piloting in the
waters of this district, and do not therefore require the services of a Nanaimo
Pilot, but the ten dollars per day, payable for Gulf pilotage, shall be due to, and
collected by, the Pilotage Authority of this District.

probability of this exigency, however, had not been overlooked by the i^^entH of
the HudBon Buy Compauy — nt that time, hh I have wiid, with their dependeutit, the
Hole civilized occnpnnt» of the interior. lu the HummerH of 1846 nnd 1847 explora-
tions under aR experienced ofHcer bad been made; lineMof commonication had been
traced; and when, in 1848, the Gayoiute War Hnddenly bivke out, these liueH of
transit were through niiiuy diiBcultie», lunde available.
TliuH originated the routes of communication now existing between the sea-
board and the wide expanse of the interior; and thus was indicated, approximately,
the western portion of that great ntilway-line, which will ere long connect the
Pacitlc province with hor sister provinces of the ;; , t, ami, through them, with the
Mother Country.
DISCOVERY OF GOLD, AND PROGRESS OF SETTLEMENT.
In 1858 the rumour of gold-discoveries in the interior of the province nuched
California, where already a re-action from the exciting days of her earlier history
had set in. These vague rumours, indicative as they may have l>eeu of a prosper-
ous future, were doubtless at iirst exaggerated. A great immigration nevertheless
ensued. The usual process, characteristic ol all such excitements, was repeated.
Many adventurers retraced their steps, disheartened by th<! obvious diflSculties be-
fore them; others persisted, and, as gold-miners, obtained iit length u rich reward
for their perseverance; while others, again, turning their attention tt) ordinary in-
dnstriul pursuits, continue in the field, prosperous and respected members of the
community. Among these may be nnmtwred, at the present day, many who. hav-
ing at the outset acquired considerable capital through the arduous process ot gold-
mining, have since turned their attention to the pursuits of agriculture and other
permanent industries.
In 1858 the mainland portion of the presi-nt province was formed into a
colony distinct from the insular portion with whitih it is now iucori)oruted— at that
time known as the colony of Vancouver Island. By royal edict the name of Brit-
ish Columbia was a.«igned to the new-born dependency. Previous to tluH the
whole of the main coast-line bore simply, in the maps, the appollation of New
Gtorgia, astTibed to it by Vancouver ; while the inland portion, namiil by Fraser
and Stuart of the North-west company, who, in 18J >, ttr.st navigated it* main river
to the sea, was called New Caledonia, SulKHequcntly, in 18(5(5, the two adjiiieut
colonics were united under their present common name.
APPROXIJIATE AREA AND BOUNDARY,
But while speaking of the Province of British Columbia, it is to be iHniie in
mind that we speak, not of a tract of insignificant area, bordered on the one side
by a province of contracted dimensions, on the other, possibly, by unv of perhaps !
equally limited extent; but of a vast region, sitting astride the Roeky MouiitainK, '
and comprising within its limits, either wholly or in part, the great rivers flowing !
to the Pacific, north of the 49th porallel, ami the upper tribntiin waters of that !
great river (the Mackenzie), which drains the continent, nortbwunl, towmd the I
Arctic Ocean.
If this statement should appear anywise obscure, ii reference to the map will I
at once explain its meaning. j
The computed aroaof the province is about 350,0ttit siju-ire miles. Jt^ luiiith I

may be thus Approximately defined : South by a line throtigh the centre of the
Strait of Fuca, and through the Arro or " Haro, " Archipelago, by a definite line
to the 49th parallel of North Latitude; along that parallel east to the Bocky Moan-
tainn: along the snuimit of that range, westward, to the 120th meridian of West
Longitnde; along that meridian north to its intersection with the (lOth parallel of
Latitude, which parallel forms the extreme northern bonndai'y. (Joii.st-ward by the
Pacific Ocean, from the Strait of Fuca to Latitude 50 deg. 40 min., and through
the middle of the inlet marked in Vancouver's chart as the Portland Channel,
whence the western boundary is formed by the etistern limit oi the Alaska Territory
of the United States; a strip of territory defined by the convention with Russia of
1825, as under; for in a matter susceptible, under possible misapprehension, of
veiy vague interpretation, it is perhaps well to quote directly from the official
document.
" Convention for the cession of Itussian provinces in North America to the
United States, concluded 30th March, 1867, &c., &c.
"Thecast«ri> limit is the line of domarcatiou between the British posses-
sions in North America, as established by the convention between Bussia and Great
Britain of February 25-10,1825, and described in Article 8 and 4 of said convention
in the following terms :
" Commencing f);(»m thi' Houthckumost point of the island culled the Prince of
Wales Island, which point lies in the ptirallel of 54 deg. 40 niiu. North Latitude,
and between the llJlst and 18:)rd degrees of Wtst Longitude, (ukeridian of Green-
wich) the said line shall ascend to the north, along the channel called the Portland
Channel as fur as the point of the continent, where it strikes the 56th degree of
North Latitude. Fi'om thin last mentioned point the line of demarcation shall fol-
low the summit of the mountains situated parallel to the coast, as far as the point of
intersection of the 141stdegree of West Longitude (of the same meiidian) and finally
from the said point of intersection of the said meridian in its prolongation as far
as the Frozen Ocean,."
"With reference to the line of demarcation laid down in the preceding
articles, it is nuderstotul : Ist.. That the island called the Prince of Wales Island
shall belong wholly to Russia. 2nd. That whenever the summit of the mountains
which extend in a direction parallel to the coast from the 55th degree of North
Latitude to the |>ointof intersection of the 141st degree of West Longitude shall
prove to be at the distance of more than ten marine leagues from the ocean, the
limit betwe<!'n the liritish possessiiMis mid the line of coast which is to belong to
Bussiit, 118 above mentioned, shall be formed by a line parallel to the winding of
the coast, mid which shall rj(!ver exceed the distance of ten marine leagues there-
from."
(iENBUlAL FEATUBES ANl> CLIMATE.
'I'lie vast tract comprised within the limits of the province — extending as it
does in a mean north-westerly direction through nearly 12 degrees of latitude, and
with a varying breadth and varying elevation -presents, as maybe supposed, much
difference of local feature and diverse conditions of climate. The coast-line, with
its long invrrow indentations and wide nrchipela'Jtic fringe has been computed to
mensure upwards of seven thousand statute miles, or more than double the circuit,
similarlj aeasured, oi Great Britain and Ireland. The i^ords of Norway nlouc pre-

KARLY HISTORY, CLIMATE, KESOURC'ES, ETC.
Hent, on n (iouiparfttivoly Huiall scale, geoy^aphital features which will enable the
reader to foriu a conception of the Htupeudous inlets, and the vast borderin({ archi-
pelago, which compose the sea-bourd, and afford a protected navigation from end
to end— from the Strait of Fuca to the Alaskan fronti<ir, and btfyoud.
The climate of thin portion of the province is temperate; and while, in the
neighborhood of Victoria, at the southern extremity of Vancouver Island, the
grape, the melon, and other delicate products, in favored spots, ripen freely in the
iipen I'.ir, the northern portions of the coast, though subject to frequent rains, are
exempt from extreme cold in winter. In brief it may be asserted that positions in
this portit>n of the Pacific ^4ea-board enjoy a winter climate, as compared with cor-
respoiiding positions on the Atlantic coast, equal In their favor to at least lU degrees
of latitude. Thus the isothermal line of 50 degrees of Fahrenheit, the mean an-
nual temperature of New York, curving through the Peace River Valley and cross-
ing the liocky Mountains in about 49" strikes the Pacitic Coast near the north-
ern end of Vancotiver Island, in about Latitude .")!".
The interior parts, remote from the sea-coast, though subject to greater ex-
tiemes both of heat and cold than the immediati! sea-board, present nowise the in-
hospitable severity (characteristic of corresponding positions on the eastern slope of
the copiinent. They are; for the most part, drier, too, and the snow-fall couse-
qiU:ntly less.
For instance, in ascending the Frascr the coast climate may be said to extend
some Tniles*above Yale, where the river emerges from a deep moiintaiuous },'urt<i'.
Proceeding upwards the evidemtes of a drier climate begin to appear; the nature
of the vegetation changes; and on reaching the juuctitm of Thompson's Kiver with
the Fraser at Lytton, some 55 miles beyond Yale, all the evidences of a hot and dry
summer-climate are perceptible. This characteristic extends over a wide tract in
the direction of Lillooet northward; and southward through the Valley of the
Thompson and Okinagan to the boundary line, near the Columbia Kiver, where the
northwestern border of the "Great American Desert " is -attained.
A summary such as this professes to be, as an addendun; to the liucal descrip-
tions already given in the preceding pages, must necessarily be brief I will not
therefore attempt to dilate upon the alleged, and partially recognized, advan-
tages which may attract settlement towards what has been rather magoiloquently
called the Vast Interior. Some of these have been sufliciently displayed before-
hand in the descripticms vhich iireeede.* My own impressions I may briefly state.
The whole of the Interior Plateau, comprised between Lytton, the Lower Ford of
the Bonaparte, and southward toward the lx)undary line at Osoyoos, is conspicu-
ously a tract adapted for the pasturage of herds of cattle; and, locally, of sheep.
This, the region of the Red Pine, (P. ponderosa) is also that of what is locall;
known as the " Bunch Grass," — a natural product which has been already men-
tioned and described. Large herds of cattle, the property of different owners,
roam over this genial tract; and the market of Victoria depends mainly on this
prolific region for its supplies of the superior quality of beef for which it is note'l.
The agricultural capacity of this portion of the province is, as so far de-
veloped, comparatively limited; but it is capable, as I conceive, of immense exten-
sion OH the necessities of the future shall arise, aud the inducements to enterprise

partH neceBHarj' to eiiHiire a croj) — but, this pnivided, enoruinnH reHultH are acieom-
plished. There are many tractH. however, where, with all the inherent capacities
of the soil, the developing power of irrigation, by Kuperficial pro<'en», in not avail-
able . Such arid tracts, however, unattractive as they may now be to the settler,
will presumably with time, and under altering (Hinditions, present a widely ditt'er-
ent aspect. With hilly confines, amid which miinerous lakes arc enil>oson)ed
whence frecjuent streams and springs issue through the natural tissures, it may be
assntiied that the piercing of Artesian wells to a 'very niod«'rate depth would redeem
large portions of the neighborhood from partial sterility — transforming them, in-
deed, into tracts of exuberant productiveness; for, with water, the capacities of
this climatically favored region and its fertile soil are inconceivably great.
At a previous page, in one of the local descriptions, it has been mentioned
that at certain points, through the continued grazing of large herds, the famed
" Bjinch Grass " has at least partially disappeared. It is satisfactory to know, on
the other hand, that where this has been the case, another class of vegi!tation, no
less nutritous, has succeeded it. I state this fact on the authority of one of the
largest graziers of the Okiuagan Valley; and thus any gloomy forebodings which
might arise under the (Hinsideiation alone of the foruier statement, at once are
neutralized .
The prolific nature of the soil in the interior plateau has been alluded to
more than once in the i)veceding descrijitions; it wnuld be superfluous, therefore,
to repeat here the mention that has been made of its adaptation for the culture of
the various cereals nnd other ordinary crops. But, further than this, it may be
argued that a large proportion of the foot-hills, having a southern exposure, is
probably well suited for the cult^ire of the grape; that is, along an exti-usive tract
reaching southward from Lillooitt along the Fraser, and through the lower Thomj)-
son and along portions of the Okinagan and Siniilkameen Valleys to the boundary
line near Osoyoos. The Moil near the bases of the hills, composed largely of de-
composed volcanic detritus, seems specially favourable; while the hot and serene
sumnmr climate is not less so. Thus at Lilloett, the most northerly position of the
tract in tjnestion, vines are successfully cultivated, as I am infornnil, for the lim-
ited local supply ; and it is fair to infer that, with the establislnueut of increased
facilities of communication and other inducements, this branch of culture may as-
sume, possibly, a phase of mucli commercial importance.
Hut I have dwelt sufficiently on those upper regions in addition to what has
already been said. As regards the lower country little need be specially added. Its
agricultural capacity has been sufiiciently expatiat<'d on in the descriptions of the
districts already given. To review these brietiy it may be merely said that at var-
.ious points dotted over the southern portion of Vancouver Island and its adjacent
archipelago there are many thriving settlements, where, under a genial climate, and
with a soil of great fertility, agriculture in its various branches is prosperously cai--
ried on. Grains of the finest quality are freeh' and abundantlj' grown. Prizes,
and other awards of merit, have been awarded in many instances, to exhibits of
such products of the province, as have been sent to various Industrial Exhibitions
abroad ; and there is probably no part of the Dominion where the yield is so regu-
lar and the quality so uniformly fine. The exuberant fertility of the low delta
lands of 'he Eraser is locally proverbial. These lands, as the accounts of the sev-

eral muuicipalitioH whic^i embrace them will have Hhown, cover a very large area.
PortionH only have ho far been occupied, where the fadlitioH for improvement have
been encoiiraging. A syntcm of dyking, on a large scale in, however, a nece8Hity
for the general reclamation of this proHpectively invaluable tract t and to this end
a- combination of effort, with the command of adequate capital, is a prime neceH-
sity. A dyking Hcheme, I have recently been informed, is even now in contempla-
tion on a somewhat extensive scale; but not of that comprehensive nature for which
I have above contended. I quoto some particulars whic>. have been banded to me
referring to this scheme — premising merely that it applies to the reclamation of a
tract of 2,500 acres only, on what is known as Lulu Island, on the Lower Fraser:.
'* The enclosing dyke, owing to the intrusion of a slough, would require to
" he nearly 10 miles in length, about 6 of which are through open prairie, the re-
" mainder through brush — the former estimated to cost in all $2,000, the latter a
" little over $3,000; in all five thousand dollars, or an average of two dollars per
" acre for the whole."
The following extract from a local print will convey a notion of the quality
of these delta lands, such as it is proposed thus to reclaim :
" On Boyd and Gilgour's ranch in the delta of the Fraser River, 13 acres
** were seeded in timothy 11 years ago. Hince then the average annual crop from
" it has been three and a half tons to the acre, which sold at $15 per ton, $682 50
" per annum, or $7,507 50 from one seeding. The same parties hiid last season a
" 13-acre field in barley which cropped 22 tons, equal to $700. Twenty acres in
" oats averaged 78 bushels per acre, and sold at $30 per txm. Their field of Bel-
" giun white carrots yielded 30 tons to the acre, and sold at $11 per ton."
With reference to the comparatively moderate cost of dyking in the foregoing
estimate it may be explained that, owing to the eimansion of the river-bed, it is not
liCHBKiiry here to frn^.rd against heavy summer inundation as in more confined
L'lilitieB in the f^pixr part, but solely to exclude the tide-flow, for which only alow

all this. It was amid IhcHc inlets that Vancouver, in about 1793, strove for several
jevii to Rolvd a great geographical problem; and the result of bis explorations
effectually set at rest the fanciful speculations of the carpet-geographers of Europe,
|ouuded OH the mythical relations of De Fuca and De Fonte. It may be added
ihat, with all the superior appliances of the present day, no recent navigator has
been able to correct, materially, the first admirable reconuoissance by Vancouver.
But within tin: jiiHt twetity-flve years a more minute survey of the coast-lice has

Thiw is probably, for strength nud durability, sujierior to nuy other kiiowu viuiety

The timber yielded by it is exported in enormourt quantities, as well fiom the
nulls within the proviueu, us front those in tho adjacent Territory of Washinj^ton.
Tho Df)URlas Fir extends throUKhont t\w interior, uj) to the verj^c of the Rocky
MouutJiins, but is only alon|>; the const that it attains f^igantic proixntions. In the
central plateau the Red Pine (P. ponderosn), already mentioned, oceu{)ies sparsely
the open tracts — a useful wood, but, as its sjjecitic name indicates, comiiurutively
heavy. Other varieties of tir and pine flourish in divers parts; but these it is
needless here to particularize. Oak is sutticierrtly abundant in tho scmthern por-
tion of Viinconver Island; but this tree is not found iu any part of the main-
land of th(! province. A few trees, it is true, formerly appeared on the left bank
of the rapids alnivo Yale, on the Frnser; but these were of small size, and have
probably lout; since disappeanMl. The Red Cedar (Thuja gigantea of Nuttall) is
a very valuable wood, and attains enormous prop(Utions. From the trunks of these
trees the natives of tho coast excnvale thair finely-modelled canoes, rangint; in size
from the small tishing-c-raft to tho vessel capable of carrying several tons. This tree
is found both on the heads of th(^ Fraser and the Colunibia, up to the base of the
Rocky Mountains, but does not ap])ear cm the eastern slope. The Liard, or Cotton-
wood, (a spe'iios of Poplar) is also generally distributed throughout the interior
along the rivers. It attains a large size, and forms a useful material for canoes.
This tree gives its name to one of the i)rt)vincial streams, tributary to the Macken-
ziv! — tho Riviere aux I.i.irds, familiarly called by tlie miners " Deloire Kivt r," The
Yellow Cypress is contined to tlie coast, north of 41*'^. It yields a very valu-
able (piality of ti:ubor, applicablo to man}' useful and decorative purposes, and was
lou^^ sup2)jst'd to 1)?, when used for wharf -construction, safe frcmi the attacks of
tlic tenulo. This imuniiiity, however, has of late been (juestioned, and at best is
problematical.
Hat whili! in the preceding pages a good deal of ^pace has been accorded to
tho lower and insular portions of the province, with much minute description, tho
upper, and hitherto by no means least imjiortant division, appears to have been
partially overlooked. I refer to that portion 'ying towards Clinton beyond Alexan-
dria, and thence upwards to the Rocky Mountains, In this wide tract is seated the
rich gold miring region known as Caribou; or as it is more generally, if inv-or-
recti v, now written "Cariboo." Tliis district is approached, beyond the neigh-
bourhood of Clinttui and the Bonaparte by a succession of valleys known respectively
as Bridge Creek, Lake la Hache, William's Lake, &c., up to the vicinity of Alex-
andria, where, as before incidentally mentioned, the interrupted navigation of the
Fraser again commences. A good waggon and stage road conducts from Yale clear
up to Barkerville in the heart of the mining region; but during the open season the
transport is relieved by a steamer which plies from Soda Creek, twenty miles below
Alexandria, to Quesnel, some forty miles above that point. The valleys just re-
ferred to, thcmgh elevated in position, are attractive in character; and there is
throughout a succession of thriving settlements, amid which the trunk-road which
connects Yale with the mining region of Caribou follows its sometimes devious

Huccettsful agriculture during Summer, (<nd in winter ture exempt from protracted

Parallel with these settlementH, along the banks of the Fraser from Lillooett
towards Alexandria, there are oth»r thriving communities, occupying desirable
localities. Of these it is needless severally to speak. 8uillc6 it to say that, seated
at a lower level, the occupants enjoy, necessarily, a climate more uninterruptedly
gonial than their neighbors of the higher interior tract. Exception must, however
be made in favor of the extensive valley of Chilcotin, watered by a stream of the
same name which, issuing from the Coast Range, joins the Fraser on the right, or
western, side about 00 miles below Alexandria, and nearly o))posite to Lake la
Hache. A very large portion of this charnuug valley, from the mouth of the river
far upwards towards its sources in the mountains, is noted for its attractions us a
stock-range; and though in the superior parts, as we approach the higher levels,
occasional summer frosts may possibly interfere with the cultivation of the more
tender crops, the lower division enjoys a climate exceptionally favourable. Here
several extensive farms have been already established, and wheat and other cereals
are cultivated with marked success. The whole tract abounds with game, and tc
the sportsman presents an attractive field. Trout, too, and other fish are abundant
in the streams. •
Soda Cbekk, forty miles above the mouth of the Chilcotin, is the point
where the navigation of the Upper Fraser commences — the intervening portion,
between this and Yale, being too much interrupted by violent rapids to be usefully
navigated. There are some fine farms in this neighborhood, and it is here that the
waggon road from Yide to Caribou, diverging from the line of the Fraser at Lytton,
again strikes the river. As an entrepot for the receipt and shipment of freight for
the mines this village is a point of some local importance; and it boasts of two
good hotels, a grist mill, a telegraph ofiice, and other convenient accommodation.
Alexandria, twenty miles above Soda Creek, is the site of a post of the
Hudson's Bay Company, formerly of much impoitance. The neighborhood, rising
in grass-covered terraces, is very picturesque and affords good pasture. The soil
is generally light, and in parts needs irrigation. Qooti wheat and other grains are
raided here, and there are several well-established farms in the neighborhood. The
level of the Fraser at Alexandria, as established by observations of the lloyal En-
gineers, is 1,420 feet above the sea. The same authority applies to the other local
elevations mentioned.
QcKSNEL, forty miles above Alexandria, is seated on the left bunk of the
Fraser, at the mouth of a tributary stream bearing the same name. Being the
point of delivery by the steamer plying during the open season between this and
Soda Creek, the town or village of Quesnel has claim to importance as a distribu-
ting point for the neighboring mining region of Caribou; sharing this honor, how-
ever, with Babkerville ; which, seated amid the Caribou Mountains at the terminus
of the waggon-road from Yale, may fairly claim to be the nucleus of the surround-
ing district. It is not, however, the intention to enter here upon the details of
mining, or to recapitulate the particulars of the several evanescent towns or vil-

Through a great portion of this upper tract, and especially around Fraser Lake,
ordinary agriculture has for many years been successfnlly carried on. I instance
Fraser Lake: for here, since the time of Fraser and Stxiart, in IHOli, the culture of
the hardier cereals, such as barley, with potatoes and other vegetables, has been
continuously prosecuted around the post, originally of the North-west, and since
1821 of the Hudson's Bay Ou.npany. Wheat, too, has been grown here, and
ripened well; but it would doubtless be a precarious crop. The summer jMisture
for h(!rds, in t \e clear valleys throughout these upper tracts, is of the richest des-
scription. It is perhaps needless to add that winter care is necessary .
In the 8outh-east<!rn angle of the province, lyini/ between the boundary-line
of 49", the Rocky Mountains, and the Columbia River-, is the Kootanais, or
as it has been recently termed Kooteuay, District. It is but sparsely i)opulated,
and as an agricultural position need not, under present circumstances, be si)ecially
noted. It is now essentially a mining tract, and yields annually its tribute of gold.
The future of this regi(m, however, affords great promise. With admirable facili-
ties for pasturage, and a moderate area suitalile for cultivation, its capacity of de-
velopment will soon receive a startling impetus. For the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way, to be presently noticed, will cross the Rocky Mountains in this neighborhood,
and traverse thq whole region on its westward way to connect with the Pacific ex-
treme, already under construction eastward to the vicinity of Kamloops. To the
anticipations of this near and prosperous future, then, we consign the considera-
tion of this interesting, but hitherto secluded, division. The Kootanais River,
which drains this extensive valley, Hows, after feeding the great lake of the Flat-
bows, into the Columbia River, at a point some 30 miles above the boundary-line
cf 49". The whole region is rich in trout-streams, yielding fish of the finest
description for the delectation of the fly-fisher; while for the hunter the moun-
tainous environs present many and diverse attractions.
Far remote from the Kootanais region, and in an opposite angle of the prov-
ince, is another district recognized only, so far, for its gold-producing capacity —
the district of Omineca, seated on the heads of the Peace River, in the peculiar
mountain-loop formed by the " Peak Range " of Arrowsmith's map with the Coast
Range to the westward, and the Rocky Mountains to the north. Through the
last-named barrier the Peace, at a distance of some 200 miles from its sources,

region; but, like the Saskatchewuu, the waters of the Mackenzie and its tributaries
nru destitute uf salmon.
Before quitting the considoration of the more prominent features of the
province, neo^raphically viewed, it Si-enis necessary to add a f«'W remarks ; and
in doing so I may bi' pardom-d if T quote partly from an essay by mystdf, pub-
lished scmie years a|^o :
" In order to a due apprehension of the geography of British ('olund)ia it is
necesHuryto indicate tht> ranges of mountains which divide its several poi'tions.
" The more southerly part is separated from the ('ohnn\>ia lliver watershed
by the (.'ascaih' liangc, so called from the rapids of the "('ascades" upon the Lower
Colund)ia; the point where that river bursts through tln^ chain. This range may
be considered ns a ctmtinuatiou of the Sierra Nevmhi of California, and it vanishes
at the junction of Thompson's liiver with the Fraser.
" The Coast Range (i. e. the chain of mountaijis lying between the interior
of the Province and the sea-board) commences above New Westminster, and
extends, parallel with the coast, as far as Mount St. Elias at the northern extremity."
Through some misapprehension, however, the frainers of the land laws,
under the former Colonial (lovernment, have applied the term 'Cascade Range ' to
the whole of these distinct mountain systems, and the ancmialy hasbe«'U ptr])etuat-
ed in the more recent maps. It is perhaps vain to hope for autlnn-itative corre<'tion
of this strange oversight; but. geographicall^v viewed, it is of course gravely
fallacious.
As has been before mentioned the Peace River, a c^hief tributary of the great
Arctic River, the Mackenzie, breaks through the Rocky Mountains at the distance
of some 200 miles fnmi its sources. This gi'eat cimtinental summit then joins the
Coast Range near the heads of the Stikine (or Stikeen) River, in about Latitude
57 deg.; the united range afterwards piirsuing its course north-westward in the
direction of Point Bnrrow, and forming the watershed between the rivers flowing
north-eastward towards the Mackenzie on the one hand; on the other towards the
great River Yucon and Behring Strait — the tract which west of the 141st meridian,
formerly bore the name of Russian America, and now forms the northern portion
ol the Territory of Alaska.

in as far as the law can pr.ilect them, exists than in this remote and hitherto little
api>reciated Province of 'he (ireat Dominion.
The Indian element of our population is a f,'reat f«'ature; and a feature, too,
which ai)prei-iatively v ii wed, cannot but jiossess much interest for the philanthropist,
while to the intending settler the consid( ration of the cpu'stioii is one of manifest
importance, I would here fain caution the reader, remote from Miese scenes, to
dispossess hiiust'lf of thos*? precoiiceptiouh which, possibly, he miiy have acipiired
from reading either the alluring fictions of Mr. Coo])er, or the sensationally inane
Htories with which vi'Ual Viook-iuakers, writing professedly of thesi' regions, havt-
chosen to adorn their works, in view of the mercenary penny. In lieu of the
"blood-thirsty savaj^e," as too freiiuently of bite delineated, we have here, in the
main, a well-ordered native population studious of improvement and ea^^ev in the
iictiuisitiou of those industrious arts which alone, conjoined with other instruction,
can elevate them i)eriuanently in the social scale. And if, in the neighborhood of
the lai)^e towns and other centres of settlement, a certain luuuunt of demoralization
is unipiestionably apparent, the system of our Indian Policy is no more to ln'
blamed for this, than is the Municipal Government of any hirg»' EurojH'an city for
the vice which may prevail within its purlicux.
The system pursued in this Province, with regard to the Indian management,
is simply a moditicatiou of that traditionally followed by the North- West (!ompany
of a former day and the Hudson's Bay Company, with whom these were finally
conjoined, in their dealings with the numerous tribes, from the (rulf of Saint
Lawrence and the Frozen Ocean to the shores of the Pacific. Kindness, tirmness,
and justice, may sum briefly the secret of the success of these once powerful fur
trading corMorations. Trained in both of these schools, the late Sir James Douglas,
when appointed to tlie Government, wisely I'lirsued the policy of his early teachings;
and his su'.'cessors, wisely again, have not deviated from the example.

EARLY HISTORY, CLIMATE, RESOUR("ES, ETC.
The effect has been this : — A wholesome respect for the Law has constniitly
increiised : crimes of the blacker dye are rare : those of a miuor class comparatively
infrequent: self-dependence and industry have been promoted. I need not add that
the eflforts of the many worthy men, of all denominations, who have devoted them-
selves to the moral and religious teaching of the natives, have co-operated powerfully
in prodiu-ing these admii-able results.
It is but too common with those wlio are luiapprised of the true condition of
Indian matters in this quarter, to suppose that the natives hore are, as in many
parts of the continent, unprofltable, and indeed expensive, members of the com-
munity. On the contrary, the natives of British Columbia are large producers: and
as consumers contribute no unimportant shore in the aggregate customs revenue of
the province. On the labors of the young men along the coast the various indus-
tries in operation are largely dependent — the Coal-mines, the Saw-mills, and above
all the Fisheries. Vast sums of money irom these differout sources are annually
paid cut to them, which again speediiy re-enter into circulation. In all the agri-
cultural paits, both on the sea-board and in the interior, the services of the young
men are no less important to the farmer; and as packers and canoe-men, throiigh-
out, their services are invaluable.
It will be understood that no syetem of ** purchase o( land," or pension ap-
portionment, has ever been countenanced here. On the other hand certain tracts
in each district, comprising the village-sites and other spots hallowed to them by
time-honored associations, have been set aside for the special use of the various
native communities.
It was the writer's lot to be selected a few years ago as Commissioner to rep-
resent the Dominion Government in a joint commission, appointed in 1876 to settle
the more important of the Ini'.iau land-questions at that time pending. It was a
difficult matter to arrange; and in some cases, possibly, the tni;;ts assigned may
have appeared to be, to those inadvertent of all the surroundings, unnecessarily ex-
tensive; but the result has been encouraging. I subjoin, as received from the In-
dian Depaitment, a return for the year 1S81 of stock and produce in the native
settlements along the Thompson, above Lytton:
5,925 Horses,
557 Cows,
88 Work oxen,
98 Ploughs,
203,040 Pounds Wheat
66,040 " Oats
60.250 " Barley
5,000 " Indian Corn
12,570 Bushels Potatoes I
652 Tons Hay. J
The Okinagan Agency, it may be added, showed a result somewhat in excess
of the above.
The following passage, quoted from a speech made by His Excellency the
Governor General on a recent public occasion, embodies the result of his own ob-
servation during a tour through the interior, and sufficiently illustrates the self-
dependent spirit of the natives whom he encountered :
" Besides the climate which is so greatly in your favor, yon have another
" great advantage in the tractability and good conduct of your Indian population.

" (Applause.) I believe I have seen the Indians of almost every tribe throughout
" the Dominion aivi nowhere can you find any who are so trustworthy in regard
' to conduci, (hear, hear) so willing to assist the white settlers by their labor,, so
" independent and anxious to learn the secret of the white man's power. (Cheers.)
" Where elsewhere you meet constant demands foi assistance your Indians never ask
*' for anything, for in the interview ,U[iven to the chiefs their whole desire seemed to
"be for schools and Fohoolmasters; an J in reply to questions as to whether they
" would assist themselves in securing such institutions they invariably replied that
" they would be glad to pay for them. It is certainly much to be desired that
" some of the funds apportioned for Indian puiposes be given to provide them fully
" with schools in which industrial education may well form an inmportant item.
" (Hear, hear.) But we must not do injustice to the wilder tribes. Their case is
" totally diflferent from that of your Indians. The buffalo was everything to the
' ' nomad. It gave him house, fuel, food, clothes and thread. The disappearance
" of this animal left him starving. Here, on the contrary, the advent of the white
" man has never diminished the food supply of the native. He has game as be-
" fore in abundance, for the deer are ap numerous now as they ever have been. He
" has more fish than he knows what to do with, and the lessons in farming that
" you have taught him have given him a source of food supply of which he was
" praviously ignorant."
It would be out of place here, even did our limits permit, to enter upon
the various tribal separations inhabiting tlie wide region of the province. But^fly
ii, may be said that the Ohipewyan (or Tinneh) connection, commencing near the
mouth of the Mackenzie and the shores of the Frozen Ocean, and ranging south-
ward, inland ef the Coast Range, terminates with the Tahcully oflfsett near Alex-
andria ou the Fraser. The Saeliss connection here begins; extending down the
Kiver to Spuzzum, near Yale, and eastward beyond the Columbia to the Rqcky
Mountains, where the true Saeliss, or "Flathcads," have a large reservation south
of the boundary -line, under the United States Government. Along the coast, and
westward of the Coast Eange, there is a succession of tribes, with several varieties
of language and many dialects — the most northerly being the Chimesyan, near
the frontier o* Alaska; and the Haidahs, opposite to and west of them, occupying
the Islands of Queen Charlotte, and speaking a language radically distinct from all.
Of some of these people brief notices have been given in the preceding pages. In
these northern portions of the coast it is needless to say that agriculture is prac-
tised on a very limited scale. The sea and the rivers yield, however, a copious har-
vest, and upon these, mainly, the natives rely for subsistence.
The outside of Vancouver Island is rather numerously popul ated by Indians;
but settlement has not proceeded far in that direction. Its chief attraction at pres-
ent is the trade for oils and furs; and eminently, of late years, the capture of the
Fur-seal. In this pursuit the natives are very dexterous, and their services, in the
prosecution of this important branch of industry, are under present circumstances
indispensable. Finally, concerning the West Coast, as he Pacific shore of the con-
tinuous insular outline is familiarly termed, it may be bri.ifly stated that, so far, it
is very partially developed. The sealing schooners (the Fur sealers, be it under-
stood, and not the sealers as ordinarily meant), afford ample employment during
the spring and early summer to the hunters resident in the villages on the numer-
ous inlets; enriching them, indeed, witb an amount of cash, in payment of their

Kbiire of the Henson'w yield, which entvbloH them to live in niHnonce amid their
primitive snrromidiiit;H. Several trading HtationB have been estublinhed at different
pointH along the West Coast: and there are two mission stations, both Roman Cath-
olic, the farther north being that at Hescjniat, conducted by the worthy I'ather
Brabant.
lint, as I have said, there has hitherto been little inducement for iigincultural
enterprise along this West Coast, nor, iiwleed, were the inducement^' gi-eater, is the
area fit for agriculture large. Nevertheless at the head of Albemi Canal (an ofisett
of Barclay Sound) several settlers have established themselves, and the yield of
their cultivated grounds, as I have personally witnessed, is exceptionally groat.
The isolated position of these Ki^ttlers, however, remote as they fti-e from all the
frequented routes of commnnication, retards greatly their prosi>erity. But these
circumstances will constantly change with the rapidly changing condition of the prov-
ince; and I have faith that ere long these now secluded settlements, with others
soon to be established at various point? in this direction, yet only partially known,
will attract more geuerpl attention ihan has hitherto been accorded to ihis portion
of the province. At present the chief outlet of these hermit-settlers at Alberni is
by a road across Vancouver Island, a distance of some eighte(>n milc-s at this point,
to Qualicum on the eastern shore, midway between Comox and Nanaimo.
PROVINCIAL INDUSTRIES, PRESENT AND PROSPECTIVE.
Warned by the exigency of space, we are constramed to deal very summarily with
this important subject — referring our readers on many substantial points to special des-
criptions whicii have preceded.
Gold, tlinmgh whose potent influence our own ju'ovince, in common witli the
other States and Territories of the Paclrtc Coast, received its first impetus towards ma-
terial development, is prisumably entitled to the first consideration. It is not, how-
ever, the intention here to enter upon minute parliculars concerning tins generally at-
tractive subject — nor, indeed, as compared with some other of the different gold-regions
whose resources have of fiite years been d<"veloped, can our province advance special
claims, so far, to be considered eminently a gold-producing country. Nevertheless tlie
yield has not been small ; though, as it may be fairly inferred, indicative only of a
gorgeous future, not remotely distant. A bric^f summary must suffice. Thus, accord-
ing to a trustworthy statement that has been laid beforb me, the total return of gold
exported bonce (or known to be exported), from 1858 to the end of 1881 was !e46,187,(i2fi,
showing an average of more than two millions of dollars for each year of the twenty-
three included— the extremes being $337,765 ii. 1858, and 83,735.850 in 1864. The flnc-
tnations of snccess in gold-mining, are, however, significant. Thus, in 1881. the total
yield of gold recorded from all aourees was only $1,040,737: the yield of tlie current
year is necessarily not yet on record, and it would be unsafe to predict in how far it may
possibly exceed or fall short of its immediate predecessor.
This, however, may be confidently asserted — that so far, notwithstanding the
vast amount of labor that has been bestowed in the continuous gold-quest, a great por-
tion of the mining country remains yet either nnvisited or at best only partially de-
veloped: while in the better tested parts of the region the most accessible portions only
have been effectually wrought. Quartz-ledges of ascertained richness— the matrices of
the coveted metal— have been partially developed in various parts, and eftpccially In
the auriferous tract of Caribou. The operations towards the development of these, it
may be added, have in all cases been unattended with successful resnls in any ma.ked
degree; nor will it be until capital from abroad shall have been invested, and intelligent

both seated on Burrard Inlet. At these mills about (>0 ships, ranging frcun ;l,50 to 1,000
tons l>urthen, and with an average capacity of sonu' 800 tons or more, have received
cargoes during the jiast year. From the Hastings mill altout fifteen millions of feet of
lumber have been shipped during this interval; and assuming the shipment from the
other to have lieen nearly the same, a total of 30.000.000 feet is show., as the past year's
export from these s<)ur<;es. The average outlay for expenses in \anous shapes by each
of these vessels, including towage and jiilotage, is estimated at not less than two
thousand (Uillars: thus giving an .iggregate anuuint of expenditure, directly bene-
ficial to the province, of no insigniticant proportions. With the extension of settlement
it may be added, fresh openings f(U' the establishment of saw-mills of varied capacity
will constantly arise, while lit timber is everywhere abundant.
In the ai'pendices to tht^ volume, of which this (diapter is itself an appendix, the
data relating to the.se industries will, it is assutued. sutticiently appear.
The FiHHGitiBK of the province occupy, or should occupy, a prominent ])osition
in the enumeration of the local industries. Few, probably, outside of the little circle
so far partially cognisant of this immeasurable future resource, will realise und(.'ra sim-
ple representation of facts, which this necessarily must be, the enormous scop" which
here jircsents itself for the extension of enterprise. The progress of Northern America,
under which Hag soever Ihm- progress has advanced, has been necessarily westward;
westward, indeed, until, checked by the broad Pacific, it is now enc(»ui;tered by a tide
of emigration frimi the opponent direction. Thus a shifting of the (centre of popula-
tion in this hemisphere is constantly proccedi ig; and with it tlu; progressive develop-
ment of divers industries, among which the i iscloture of the sea-riches of the Pacific
Is c(^rtaiuly not among the least.
I premise that the fishing-grounds In ^nd adjacent to this province present a
resimrce of prospectively unlimited fertility, ao far, for reasons sufficiently obvi(uis,
this resource has been only very partially d> veloped. Nevertheless the a<lvan2e has l>een
rapid, as will be indicated by the followi ig statement : —

umbia may even now be computed to exceed in ponitive value and utility that of any
other province in the Dominion.
The Rreater induHtrioH (if the Province having been, as w.' suppose, sutticionlly
uoti(!ed. it remainc «mly to mention others which, with time, may possibly attract at-
tention overlooking the mincu', yet not locally unimportant, manufactures of which a
summary has pre(X'ded in the several local deHcri]>tionH.
In brief: The concentration of the tannin principle, largely contained in the bark
of the Hemlock ("A. Canadensis.") for l.inning purposes, may erelong attract attention
in view uf a valuable product for export. It may be mentioned that the bark of this
tree (the Hemlock,) widely procurable, is cliieHy, if not solely used in Victoria for
tanning.
The Sr.MACH. valuable for tanning and dyeing purposes, has ))een of late, as I
understand, recommended for cultivation in (California, as a crop of commensal value.
This shrub is indigenous to the more arid tracts of tho Interior, wheni every bill-side
exhibits its luxuriant growth. Much of the upland, therefore, else intractable, may
possibly, under siiecial cultivation to this end. become hereafter commercially pro-
ductive. I speak, of course, here as elsewhere, with ri^fcrence to the now rapidly ap-
proaching transpin-t-facilitir- of the future; destined, as they nuiy be inferred to be. to
transfcn-nt the whole industrial aspe<'t of these remote and heretofore almost inaccessible
hu'alities. Tobacco, as has been alrcaly proved, cin lo s'lccessfully grown to a usef u I
<<nd both in the southern parts of Vancouver Island and on the Main. About
Lilooett, especially, the culture has been profitably carried on: and it is probable that in
the warm tracts of the Interior, many s|)ots will be found availalile for the cnltivation
of a high ({uality of this valuable product ci: a largely commercial scale. Of the pos-
sible, and indeed probable, culture of the Grape for useful puriM>seH I have already
spoken at a preceding page: but indeed to this, as Ut some possible and probable pro-
ductions, I Imve felt a delicacy in alluding, lest some, sagaciously regardful only uf unr

AHSTHACT OF THE LAND AND I'UE-EMI'TION LAWS.
There lies before me a formidable Manuscript, iii itself enough to compose a
small Volume; replete with leg:d redundancies, mid accurate, dimbtless beyond all
ordinary coniproln iision. Huiniiied hrii'Hy. and avoiding sjiecialty. it iiiuy read some-
what as undor: —
Every n>ale jierson of eiRliteen years of age or over, being a liritish subject, born
or naturalised, may enjoy the right to pre-empt, under certain stated conditions, a
tract not exceeding .320 acres in extent, to the northward a»id eastward of the "Cascade
Kaiigo" of mountains; and 100 acres in extent in other parts of the Province. Personal
occupation during a period of two years, (reasonable intervals of absence being per-
mitted,) and imiirovements to the average of two dollars and lifty cents per acre, are
necessary to complete the pre-emptive right. Upon proof of these, the settler is entitled
to claim his Crown Grant in free hold to the* tract so occupied and improved, after the
payment of ime didlar jht acre; payable at option, in four equal annual instalments of
2.') events each per acre.
Aliens liecoming naturalised under the simple provisions of the Dominion Law,
acquire all the local rights of liritish subjects.
The upset price of Surveyed Lands, for agricultural purposes, is fixed at one dol-
lar per acre; subject to public sale in lots, at iiotitied intervals, to the highest bidder.
All lands remaining unsold alter such public exposition, can be purchased by private
contract from the Government at the upset price.
There is a Home-stead Law, by which under due registration, real and personal
property is protected to the extent of not more than $2,500, from seizure and sale iu
bankruptcy.

••Elk" is a nnsnomer: so wich'ly adojited. however, that it would he hopelesH to
ar^ue for itH correction. The Moose, indeed, miKht with projiriety he called the

congener; but this other, its compeer At least iu si/e, <ir nearly so, has the hranch-

Naturalists distinguish it as the WArni, a nanm of (Jrce origin; or when more
learnedly speaking, the "Cervns (,'auadensis." Whether from partial variety of
species, or other incidentnl cause, this aninni! a]>peiirs to :.ttuin more gigantic
proportions in the Coast neighhourhoud then in the inland locaUties. It is more
gregarious in its hahits than most of its congeners; and, as it travoltt over a v.idc

exercise of some skill and muci activity to pursue it successfully. The I'acilic

as a favoured rangt: of this phaidid variety of the genus. In parts of Viuicouvcr

coasts, trom which it Ih (MHtiiii^uished, hy Dr. RichardHon, as the " Itocky Moun-
tain " variety. It in a stately animal, far-travelliiiK when fairly distnrlied, and,
like its Arctic convener, of very ^rej^arioiis habit. It frequents tht> biKh nnmiitain-
oUH uplands, and, in parts, is very numerous. It is from this animal that the
Well-known niuuntaiu ininiii({-re^ioii of the Province derivcH its name; adopted,
iilniost literally, from the TahcuUy designation of the truet, " Ho-tsee Kiiva " i. e,
Carihou-land.
There is a broad inonntiiin-phiteau, many miles in length, lyin^' between the
lieadH of th.! Chilcotin Itiver and the Coast — the summit, in short, o' the dividiiif,'
ran^e- -where the Caribou i^pecially abound. It is a vast ex])anHe where, at an
ilevation of some 4,000 feet, a very njiarse and stunted timber-growth studs the
surface, amid a carpeting of tlioso lichens which constitute largely the food of
these aninialH. These, and numerous ptarmigans, seem to be the sole occupan^ '
the dreary locality. Hut to the ardent hunter thin is an attractive Hceiie; and here,
secure ol sport, a pleasant interval might indeed be passed. This was formerly,
and is doubtless still, though in a hss degree, the favorite hniiting-grtmiid of the
upper {'hilcotin« and their neighbours. The "CarrierH," as the Tahcnily tribpH at
hirge were usually termed, have a method of hunting the Rein-deer perhaps
peculiar to (hemselves. This animal, as is generally known, is peculiarly sensi-
tive tu the altacks of tlies; and the tlies, unfortunately, are but too numerous in
their usual feeding gnmuds. The smoke ' *ires aceidentuUy kindled has therefore
fur them a special attraction, since it att'orc a refuge trom their tormeuturH to which
they eagerly resort. Thus, even iu the de^ h of winter, the Huiell of smoke, — as of
a (^amp-tire for instance — so far hum ahirming, positively attiacts them; and the
Indians, a'.ailing themselves of the knowledge, adopt various devices in which
smoke figures as the lure. ThuH iu approaching a herd a i)arty of hunters will
provide themselves each with alighted fragment of rotten wood; and under cover of
the welcome odour approach nearly to the uustispecting victims.
The mouutuin-goat iH found in all the precipitous partK of the Mainland, but
not, HO far as 1 have been able to learn, on any part of Vancouver Ishind. It may
be funnd readily around the neighbourhood of Hurrard Inlet; but the chase is
arduous, and demandH much active exertion.
The nionutaiu sheep, or Big-horn, appears in various parts of the Mainland
interior on gransy monutniu-slopeH. It is highly prized for the delibiicy of itH meat,
HurpuHsing, uh it perhapH does, anght else known to the epicui-e. The neighbour-
hood of Ashuola, upon the Similkumeen River, some ft)rty miles from Osoyoos. is
noted, among other localities, for its ri<rh"OHH in thiH object of the chase.
The several varieties of Bear are numerous in divers parts. These are on the

however, is a quarry not lightly to be encountered. Such as may wish to signalize
their pruwfSB in this direction may gi'atiiy it by resorting to the' m'>nntaiu region
between Hope and the Siniilkam>3en, whert, in parts, they are sufficiently numerous.

lured by by -gone recolleiJtious, 1 become prolix. It 'nay be inferred too. that the
future tourist who may peruse these pages, with the few facts which I have stated
before him, will not rest satisfied with these alone, but before engaging in any en-
terprise having the chase for its objet't, consult orally with others in the Province
(inaliiied, at leas* in some directions, to guide hin movements,
Have I said enough concerning our Province of British Columbia: or shall I
iterate much cf what has already been said in the preceding pages': Consideration
for the patience of my readers warns me to abstain; and the Printer, potent in the
exercise of his art, hints tc me that my allotted space is almost tilled. I will not,
then expatiate, with increased risk of tediousness, upon the natural beauties of our
provincial scenery. It haa been an oft-repeated tale. Strange, too, to say, that
while each advocate, writing of his own special locality, declares the landscape to
be of beauty unsurpassable, each in turn finds that the same claim to the unsurpassed
beauty of his local environs is advanced, with equal earnestnesB, by another
CO' testaut. The appreciation is pardonable; for each of the individual writers who
h' ;e preceded me, moved by the home-feeling which confers else-undetected charms
upon all his surroundings, expresses, doubtless in all sincerity, his individual im-
pression. Withal jt may be safely stated, and in avoidance of all discrepancy, that
the scenery of the Province, in parts grand in the extreme, is everywhere attractive
and occasionally charming. To put this lesthetic view of the question, however
aside, the many solid advantages of the country, with iti' h 'althful climate and
prospectively supreme commercial position, may be modestly and truthfully as-
serted. The realisation of its gi-eat future may not, it is possible, be within the
forecast of the present generation : but it has yet to come ; and meanwhile British
Columbia may claim at least the honor of being as a province the grand complement
of the Dominion Confederation — tomparatively with the other Provinces, sor .e-
times perchance considered almost as a cipher by some short-sighted pohticiaus of
the East; bnt then it is the cipher which contributes value iuunensurable to all the
rest.
In this flattering estimate the writer is not unsupp«)rted. The following
(quotation from an Eastern newspaper of recent date, heretofore nowise prone to tx-
tol the Pacific Province, will partly indicate the change of appreciation which is in
progress : —
"Thk nn)re British Columbia beconus known the more extraordinary appear
•'i'ln wonderful resources and riches. A late dispatch says the exports for the month
' 'of October amount to $fi75,000: and that the to .;i exports for the year will amount
"to over four millions. That such greot results should be acco^npUshed by a popu-
"lati<ni less than one-half that of the City of Toronto, and thai, too, in the face of
"obstacles to the df^velopment of the country, speaks volumes as to the future of
"the country. When the railway makes the interior accessible to the western nea-
'•bo»rd, and enables the vast mineral wealth to be operated the position of the pro-
"vince must be as one of the most prosperous in the Dominion. Rich as it is in
"mineral and timber wealth it has another treasure of incalculable value in its de-
"lightful climate."- Toronto "(Jlobe," November, 1882.
I think that, with this sonorous tribute of tardily accorded praise, it is per-
haps well to conclude, as amid the clangour of trumpets. Before doing so, however,
I may mention that the recent sojourn in the Province, of His Excellency The (governor
(ieneral and Her Koyal Highness the Princess Louise, while gratifying iii n high
degree to all of us, and, we may hope, not uninteresting to themselves, has doubt-
less (lontriltuted greatly to attvivct attention from abroad to this, the farthest West,
and certainly not the least promising, section of the Dominion of Canada.
