SURVEYOR WILLIAM OGILVIE

Klondike,

Dominion William Oyilvie

Surveyor

returned from the Klondike to meet the Minister of the Interior on the Pacific Coast, and has given some interesting

interviews to the British Columbia papers, His first remark was:

“T have been credited with or accused of interviews which | have uever given, Phe only interviews Lhave given were at St. Michaels, and each one was dictated hy me, aod after being written by the reporter was read ever to me anc corrected, if cor- rection was needed ”

All this in regard to certain statements appearing in some of the American papers alleged to be on the authority of Mr Ogil- vie. Some of the figures given in regard to his estimate of the probable yield of gold of the Yukon country have been en- tirely wrong, and hence Mr. Ogilvie is desirous of takipg such precautions as will ensure a correct report of what he

save, He believes that one huan- dred claims on Bonauza and forty on El Dorado will yield in the neighborhood of $60,000,000 before

they are exbausted. In addition to this there isa vast, unexplored region from which revurns almost as great may be looked for, and Mr. Ogilvie estima e that while the greater portion of the work will be doue within the next ten years, there is every indication that placer work will be continued for at least twenty years, and this witbout any attention being paid to the quartz wining, which, it is certain, will foiiow the hydraulic operation. On Huoker Creek good prospects have been discovered, and, indeed, ‘o listen to Mr. Ogilvie’s remarks about the Klondike region and to note the tone of confidence with which he speaks, having in mind the fact that what he does not know about the country is not worth knowing, the listener is ina fair way to be convinced that even the roports that have reemed big ly colored may prove to fall short of the actual truth.

“MORE GOLD THAN DiRT.”

Talking of the reports of wonderful amounts of gold taken out ie a single pan, Mr. Ogilvie gave some of his own experi- ences. Inoneof the mines owned by Carence Berry, whose forture was told in one of the papers several moaths ago, Mr. Og'ivie went into one of Berry’s claims and for curiosity’s sake asked to be allowed to pan vot a panful of gold. The pay streak then was very rich, but stand- ing at the bettom of the shaft, looking at it by the light of acandle ail that could be seen of the pay streak was a yellowieb looking dirt, with here aud there the eparkle of a little gold. Mr. Ogilvie took outa big panful, took it to the surface and started to wash ii out, while sewera] miners stood about guessing ae to the result.

“ Mere dirt than gold, ” joked Mr. Ogilvie as he sliced off tae top dirt. by @ dip in the water. Then asthedirt went out the gold began to glieteu in the paa he revers- ed his decision to “ More gold than dirt.”

Five hundred dollars was the top guess of the miners. but when the gold was washed, dried and weighed, it came toa little over $590.

Speaking of the quartz to be found in the Yukon Mr. Ogilvie stated thet he shad made a number of tests roughly for several men. One man brought in& sample from a quartz ledge he bad discovered. Mr. Ogilvie weighed ont severa) samples, crushed them, washed out the gold, and found that the ore went $1,000 to the ton even by tuat crude m-tiod. Otber samples he tried went $100 more. Ifthe ore had been properly crushed and quicksilver used 10 amalgamate, the results would have been very mach higher nu doubt.

IN€TANCES OF BXAGGERATION.

Mr. Ogilvie has a great deal to ray about the already exaggerated estimates of the @meunts taken out by the individuale, and quoted the care in which a man who had reached San Francisco with $1,500 had been credited with $50,000. And as to the hardships there has also been very much drawing of the long bow. Toaman accustomed to any simiiar work, Mr. Ogilvie considere the Dyea or Skagway

tra lx should offer no obstacles out of the common, although worthless barroom loafers, gamblers and other men accustom ed only to light or litle work, would find the tak of geting iu by these trails well nigh impossible.

Hhat the element of “luck” enters largely into a miner’s life was well silus- trated by @ mention made of two old mea who own No, 23, El Dorado, and who, utter having for over 45 years followed the arduous life in many districts, have never until now made more than a living, aod each having now aituined the age of about 70 years, bed cleaned up $11,000 apiece, uave come out of the country to die, nop- ing UG spend their last days in comparative But r.gbt next to these two old en, owning No 23, isa young man who weut in there Jast summer end is comiog Out with twice a8 much money as they can count between them.

THE THREATENED FAMINE,

Asked as to the reports about an anti- cipated shortage of provisions in Dawson City (his winter, Mr. Olyilvie stated that ai the time he left, in daly, there w-re provisions euough tu last 4,400 people through the winter. Since then, however, miany were said to have made their way Out again to the Gcart, so it might be that aiter all the provision shortage would wot be as bad us expected. * The idea of trying to get reief in by dog traio is quite Out. of the question,” remarked Mir, Ogilvie, for ww is utterly im- possibie for dog trains to carry, on such # iong trip, more than enough tor them- selves. lu fact, en a long journey a man generally takes two dog trains calculating that @ good many of iis dogs will give out Ov the trip, @8 the animals have to be pushed ahead as rapidly as possible, and that tnere will probably be ouly enongn of the stronger dogs left to get to tne Journey’s end.”

Mr. Ogilvie, in speaking of the trials of a miner in the North, advised that only nen Who were to take a year’s supplies with them and could endure hardships and disappointment should make the auempt. A maa who could siand these hardships, pocr food, bad water, and could put up with all the disadvantages of cold aud bard work besides, would, he velieved, succeed ip waking money. But toere were pleaty of men, wno though able to stand the toil, would succumb to the other difficulties, As an instance, Mr. Ogilvie spoke of two young Swedes who had made fortunes in the mines, about $60,000 in all, and start- ead forhome. However, they were taken ill with typhoid at Dawson Vity and both died .

His Excellency the Goveraor General, in a letter received ‘last evening by Lieutenant Governor Howlan, gives ex- pression tothe very great satistaction of their Excellencies with the reception accorded themon the occasion of their recent visit to this province. The letter reads as follovve :

Sr.Sreraex, N.B., 19th October, 1897,

My Dear Lieutemant- Governor:

I desire again to offer an assurance, which I trust Your Honor will accept and make known to others interested, as to the hearty appreciation felt regarding our recep tion and experieoce during our recent mosi interesting aud énjuyable visit to Prince Edward Islaud.

All the arrangements were excellently devised and most successfully carried out, and this must be a satisfaction not only to us but to all whe cooperated in these matters. Everywhere there were abundant mapifestations of the lovalty and good feeling of the people of the Island.

With kiud regards from Lady Aberdeen and myself to Your Honor and Mrs. Howlar,

I remain, Yours Very Faithfully, ABeRDEEN. His Honor ‘ The Lieutenant-Governor of Prince Edward Island, Government House, Charlottetown .

Inpustriat Norres.—There is an ay of business ubout the east end of the town,

around the gas works aad the new pork packir g es- tablishment. The gas works wil! not

be recognized in a short time or at least when the improvements are completed. The buildings are being re-shingled and will be painted as soon as the carpenter work is completed. A new roof will be put on the retort house and covered with slates. The inner grounds of the works are being graded and all the grass cut out, while on the outside the old plank sidewalk has been taken away and a cinder walk put down in place of it. All iheze improve- ments go to show that the new owners are mivdful of their own interests. The com- pany has already received consiguments of gas ranges, heaters, etc., which will be displayed in the new office to be opencd shortly. They have rented the premises at present occupied by Morris’ crocker,

store, which will be very central for their busiuess. An expert has been brought

from St. John to lock after the Auer light

retained. Mr. Lordly, C. E., has charge

Sprincuii.’s Narrow Escare—On San- day morning while the gale was at its height fire broke out in a chamber of the Presbyterian Manse, at Springhiil, N.8., in which Rev. David Wright resides. Very fortunately the fire was quickly detected and was extinguished before it made much

headway. Had it got under way the town would have suffered the same fate as Windsor.

Tue Turr.—A syndicate of Charlotte- town horeemen have just made an unsuc- cessful attempt to pull off a big race on the Charlottetown. Driving Park. The race was to be for a purse of $506, and all the fast horaes in the Maritime Provinces were to participate. But while the owners ofseme of the horses agreed too come others thought the season wae to far advanced and the meting had to be post- pomed. It will probably take place on Dominion Day.

Tak Wixesor Fire.—It is pleasing to hear that the people ot Charlottetown are responding in a very creditable way to the appeal for assistance for the sufferers by the fire at Windsor, N.S. In this cvun- nection it may be pointed out that Annap- olis has voted $300 for the sufferers. Parre- boro has voted $500 and with additional subrcrip'ions will send $1000. One buna- dred dollars has been subscribed at Su«sex. At Halifax $5000 in subscriptions has been received, and John Tobin & Co. sent $500 worth of provisions.

Kexpercaeren Hart— The Shakesperiat, recital by Mr. Geo. B. Williams in Kindergarten Hall Jast night was a success from every point of view. The hall was well filled with an andience of the best description, and Mr. Williams’ rendering of the several characters in the three acts from King Heury IV was excellent. Sir John Falstaff and bis boon com panious were cleverly characterized, and the close attention of the audience was held throughout. The entertainment closed } with Mr. W. D. Howells’ humorous pro- duction depicting scenes in a sleeping car, during the rendering of which Mr. Williams kept his audience laughing alnipst con-

tinually, The entertainment was for the benefit of the Prince Edward Island Hospital, and a snug sum must have been realized,
