Funeral of the Late Nheriff Me. Donald.

On Tuesday the body of the late

James McDonald, Esq., High Sheriff of

King’s County, was brought by train t« Cardigan from Souris, whither they had

been taken by train the previous evening from Charlottetown. Notwithstanding the very wet weather, many car- riages were in waiting to convey those who were anxious to pay the last tribute respect to the deceased, to the cemetery. The funeral ceremonies were periurmed with all solemnity at the graveyard, at Brudenell, by the brethren of the *: Mystic Tie.” from Souris, Montague and Georgetown Masonic Lodges; Mr. Mat- hew of Souris, acting as Grand Master, Mr. John McLean, M. P., as Grand Warden, and Rev. Mr. Cameron as Chap- lain,

The deceased was one of the most genial true hearted sons of New Perth, and his remains lie in the beautiful cemetery at Brudenell, surrounded on every side by nature in its purity; and where lie the re- mains of those hardy pioneers of Three Rivers, of whom the late sheriff was a worthy descendant.

The son of the late Donald McDonald, Esq., of New P rth, James McDonald was

formerly a resident of thar fl urishing settlement. Having sold his fari he

moved to Montague Bridge,, and was for time engaged in mercantile pursuits, When the railway wesc ummenced in this Isiand. Mr. McDonald was appomeed one of the Railway Commissivuers, and continued in oftice until the formation of the Laird- Haythorne government in 1872, made him @ Victimot the “‘spoils system” then in force. Aft r his dismi s { from offi we, M. McVDonaicé tock extensive con'racts in cun- structing the road bed of the railway, aud was well and popularly known among his employees.

Some years ago he wentto Newfound land, where he also had large railway con- tracts; but his health beginning to {ail him, be returned to his native provinces. Shortly afterwards he was appointed High Sheriff of King’s County, in wh'ch office he continued up to the time of his death. In all the various positions of trust which the late Mr. McDonald held, he gave unvary- ing satisfaction, and was known all over the county for his _ sterling honesty of character and hatred of anything small or mean. ‘The office uf Sheriti is one extremely difficult to fill without causing hardship aud dissatisfaction; but the late Mr. Macdonald performed fiis duties so quietly and courteously that hardly any knew that such things as writs and se z ires aad ejectments existed within the County.

We trust the Governmeat and jadges of the Supreme Court wiil be forcaaate enough to mike sucha selection for the succeagor of the late High Sheriff that the like state of affairs may continue in the fut ure.—Com

| ritish Columbia Mining Fields.

( Sp cial corre spondence of The Examiner ) Orrawa, Oct. 26, 1891.

If che average Canadian were asked what he knows about Leadville, he would be able at least to say that itis a well-known miaing camp in the United States; but asx him where aud what is Kootenay, and there is not one chance in tea that he will

know that it is a new mining tield in Brit- iah Columbia, often now referred to by Americaus as # second Leadv lle. Kre- quent references in the Canadisn press,

however, during the last few months, have drawn more or less attention tu this great and promising mung region, and now the question is being asked—** What about the Kootenay

British Columbia has long been kuown as ab immense and promising mineral couutry; but its chief mineral production, ‘so far, has been guld. Discoveries of the last three or four years have brought mto prominence another precious metal—silver The field of these important new discover- ies is ** The Kootenay.”

Kootenay Lake is a body of water situat- ed in the southern part of British Colum- bia, afew miles north of the State of idaho. ‘The lake is an expansion of the Kootenay River, which river takes its rise in British Columbia, rear the source of! the better-known Columbia River, thence fi»ws south vard into Northern Montana sult idaho, then back into B itish Colum- bia and into the said lake The outlet of the Jake is an arm about Jorty miles long, through which the waters of the jake empty into tbe Columbia River. Thus it is that (he waters of the two rivers, having their source but a dc zen miles apart, flow several hundred miles, one south and one north, and then join each other, for better

Pacific Ovean.

Should one visit the Geological Museum at Ottawa, he might be shown specimens of ore from this region, brought in by our own Dr. Dawson. - They are mostly in the form of silver and lead, or rather silver in lead, and calied by miners ‘* galena.” A little enguiry would elicit the fact that De. Daw- gon was thoroughly acquainted wi.h the locality which produces these ores, and

that he has given us a very exhaustive re- | port of his investigations, which has been _ published by the Geological Survey, and which, as was to have been expected, 18 as | readable as it is reliable and instructive.

Two years only have elapsed since the visit of De. Dawson to this region, and yet it has changed from a mere ‘‘prospect- ing” ground known only to a few adventur- ous miners, mostly Americans’, to an actual mining field, beginning to attract so much attention that a recent telegram to a Unit- e), States’ newspsper referred to it as the **Nuw Eldorado,” with the prediction that the “coming spring would see one of the

ee

ville days.” It is only a just tribute to the ability of

been the changes brought about, and re- markable as have been late they have been no greater or remarkable than a careful, inteliigent reading of Daw- son’s Reporte might have led one to ex- pect. “Since the writing of those reports, mining men by discovery and purchase, have acquired mining properties which as grospec's” are worth hundreds of thou

sands of doljars, and which, as developed mines, wiliundoabtedly yield many millions

live towus have sprung up, many “*prospe t. have been deve!upel int» mines, and with- in a month of present writing, the building of a large smelier and refining work+, (for the treatment of ores on the spot), has been begun. Ina word, the thcoretical and prospecting stage has given place to the realisation of actualities.

in 1889 there were two mining ‘‘camps” only—kuown as the Nelson and Hot Springs. Last year was discovered *‘Trail Creek” ; and the excitement dueto the late discovery of two new promising camps has hardly subsided yet.

The best known and most developed camps are those of Nelson aud Hot Springs. Nelson is distinguished by having the already famous ‘Silver King” mine, a mine characterized by the immense.s'z¢ of its ore deposits, and the ore high-grade withal. Near ,Nelson also, there are some very promising gold properties, quartz, one of which has boen fairly weil developed already.

Hout Springs is noted, not for any one big showing, but forthe extraordinary char- ecter of its surface showings as a whole, and forits many well defined leada, or veins of ore,much of it high-grade—-often in fact runuing into the thousands. <A Celorade mining man who recently visited the field stated toa repoiter ota U, 8. paper that ‘*the surface showings were the must marvellous he hid ever set eyes on.” This was the impression of aman who is principal owner of a mine which has paid a dividend of $600,000 the last,year. (J. H. Roles of the ‘*Mollis Gibson,” Aspen, Colorado.

This verdict is really buta repetition of that given by a score of prominent mining men and experts during the past few ysars.

A mining expert from Australia, who visited the cainp in 1890, stated that ** without exception it was the most prom- ising camp he had ever seen as to surface showings.”’ Indeed the general reiteration of this opinion by new comers has become agreeably monotonous inthe camp. There are several distinct veins which can be traced for from two to four miles. Their width is from two to four, eight and even twelve feet.

lt was almost inconceivable that so great | and exceptional a surface showing should | ba merely surface veins. The presumption | of depth in such a case was infinitely more

reasonable than ifthere had been only a | few isolated croppings The more reason- | able presumption was that the whole moun- ta nswas, to use the words of Dr. Campbeil ws perfectly saturated with mineral.” Dr. Camp eit has since shown his faith by his works, and has his reward in the succesful development of several of the most vulu- _able prc per ies in cimp (the * No.1” and | ** Gnire',” &e’)

The vein of the Skyline not only was found, but it was well defined, rich ore.

ludeed it is somewhat remarkable that theie has been no disippointment, so far, ib the showings of the claims after development.

In view of the fact that this wonderful weaith, whch is now practically in sight, wis forecast by Dr. Dawson's report, available to every Canadian, are we not to suppose that it was taken

have taken @ hand in this profitable mine development, and are to be the medium through which the immense wealth stored in our mountains wil) reach and benefit ouc Canadian interests and enterprises? U fortunately, no.

To one reader of Dr. Dawson's report who by it has been led to put in a dollar of capital, or a day’s work, a hundred practical everyday miners who never iead, and pro- bably never heard of any official report, have gone into the fieldin the last two or three years, and are now revelling io brightest prospects of wealth, And doubtless, nine out of ten of these are not Canadians, but Ameri- cans. Ameiican prospectors and c*p talis:s opened up the district and the region and its wealth are better known and believed in to- day in centres south of the “‘line” then in British Columbia itself !

The visita of .nany prominent Cansdians during the present season, and their almost | unitor inly euthusiastic reports, howevér, nwy | have the eflect to change all this, as to future | operations. | And it were well it should; for if indeed

}these mountains be full of golden treasure, |

, it means great wealth, not only to individuals, but to the little world about them. |that wealth stays in Canada where nature |produced it, or goes to the neighvoriug Xepublic, already highly-favored by its owa | natural resources, depends upon the nation- ality of the men who discover or buy, or mine | the rich deposits, for where men make their | home, there they are most likely to expend their money.
