 • ExTiiACT from a Lkadino Aiitici.k in *• The Timen** of 
 ffith March, 18fi2. 
 
 »* Nowhere is thoro nuch a field lor rwlvrnturo, nnd no 
 go&A on opening for surplus populiiiion iind struggling 
 entorprino. • Uoro is a region connidenihly larger than the 
 British Isles. To ^1 appenntncc an incxhauntilile trraniiry 
 of gold for all agesi 1*110 beds of, the Froser, and its two 
 principal branches, making together n thotmund milqs, and 
 the beds of sixty smaller tributaries flowing westward 
 (')oni \\\r. Mountains, all contain gold. Then; are ynnt 
 placers, or plains, underlaid with gold, and British Co- 
 lumbia ofTors a good investment for labour ond capital. 
 It is no exaggeration but a simple fact, acconling to our 
 own correspondent, that the Gold Diggings of British Co- 
 lumbia is a lottery in which there are no blanks, and the 
 prizes ore indeed splendid. While, with the rudest hund- 
 labour, men ore often fov$td, getting an ounce of gold per 
 day, the hired labourers at the work, without sharing its 
 risk, get £2. per day besides their keep. We are told of 
 five men in two months obtaining, in a spot 1^hicbg(i^- 
 . mised ill at first, £20,000. Fersons by farm service, by 
 road making, by the core of horses, and other ordinary 
 employment, may obtain in Britidi Columbia from 12s. to 
 208. per day, betddeq their rations. The country is beau- 
 tify, abounding in wood, water, and grass. There you 
 can make your own fortune," &c. &c. &c.

 Tho main artery of the aiiriforons regions. 
 
 The Hoiirco of tho Routh branch, is Mount Brown, in tbo 
 Ro<!ky ^Mountains, about 63 dog. north latitude, 118 (U«}j. 
 40 min. wcBt longitude. This branch flows for 290 miles 
 to Port George, a poH€ of tho Hudson's Ray Company. 
 
 Tho north branch rises in an opposite directioif, from 
 a scries of lakes between 61 deg. and 65 deg. nortli 
 latitude, 124 (leg. 60 min. west longitinle, and nms u 
 course of 200 miles to its Junction with the south Branch. 
 
 Tho Bene lies or Terraces on each side of Frascr River, 
 ore auriferous ; they should bo well workc^l with a rake, , 
 and a good forco of water must bo obtained, to apply to the 
 fi|C0 of tho bench by a hose. A long sluice must bo made 
 with riffles at the bottom, spread with quicksilver to'catch 
 the gold. 
 
 The streams flowing from tho east, are all auriferous ; 
 those that run from tho west are not so. ^ 
 
 The/pait colled Peoce Riyer County, contains silver and 
 other ores i it also has its source in the Rocky Mountains.

 YOUtt HEALTH. 
 
 Bowaie of, and guard against yellow fovcr. HtilpbiiU' 
 oT quinine is a good, and in fact, the best provcntiitivc ; 
 next to that we must add personal cleanliness, t.«. frcfiucnt 
 ablution, and do not be afindd of cold baths if you can get 
 thom, there is no foac of taking cold. * 
 
 The symptoms of yellow fever are-^headaohe, dry ond 
 burning skin, parched lips and dry mouth. - -- - 
 
 Champagne is tl^ greatest enemy of yellow feveri and 
 if you can afford to take half .^d^sen, do so, but it must 
 bi) of good quality. '^ 
 
 V - 
 
 One ounce of guinine will be sufficient for the voyage; 
 
 take 3 grains to form (me dose daily, as a preveniativt. 
 
 ' If attm^ed by the above symptmns, take 3 doses a day 
 
 until it abates, if it ahonld not abate then immediately 
 
 consult the Doctor.
