A PLEASANT CALLER. -
A British Columbian Minerals nud
Game lneer Animals. .
The standard appreciated a
call Friday from Mr. T C Coiling,
whom we fouijd to be si valuable
acquisition to our Hat of acquain
toces. - - . . '
He is a brother "to Mrs. Luther
Saunders and with a sister, Mrs.
Mitctiell and children, is visiting
his relatives here. Mr. Collins is
a native of North Carolina and has
a good degree of native , pride. The
family home is . in Asheville, to
which he has. returned. "after an .
absenceof thirteen .years. r Vi.
"He sis-en gaged in' the mining bnilW
nesT near Kootenay lake in British
;olumbia, about 150 miles north of
Spokane, Washington.
From Mr. Collins we; learn 'some
interesting fac s that we had failed
, to gather earlier in life. The terri
tory for about 100 - miles has in
creased in teu years from about 200
to about 5Q,000 white inhabitants.
Minerals and game are the chief
attractions. ; . .
. Gold, eilyer, copper and lead
. abound. Met ala are often found
together, especially7 silver and lead
and gold and copper. Gold ores
are of two kinds ; free milling ore
and base or smelting ore. The
Jormer requires little experience
while the base ore requires a very
expensive smelting plant and thor
ough cbspaical knowledge and skilK
,ful manipulations to extract the
metals which are formed into ''one
mixed mass to be sent to another
costly plant to be separated and re
fined. - : - r
These mines are rvery7 rich tan d
profitable, even at the present de
pressed prices of silver, and theduty
of U cents per pound on lead. ;
The territorial governmehtallowB
t qual privileges to" aliens bu if charges
each prospector certain -fees that
produce a handsome revenue to the
. government. , ' y-
There can be no monotony in life
there to one fond o.f hunting, adyen
tare and gunnicgpofts; v ' ' f
Among the feathered game are
the wild goose- and the mallard
duck. The latter -may be knocked
over with a stick and gathered for
frying when of good size, , but in
completely pledged. .. . r ,
The habits of the wild goose are
like they are. here. Their home is
still to the North and you're a good
shot if yon get 'many of ; them,
Pheasants also abound, "and there
are many grouse which is very fine
game of a blue eoler, 'red,; head and
struts like our turkey, . This bird is
of size between our common turkey
aQd chicken. Another interesting
' bird is called the' fool hen of white
elKHavore4d flesh and about twice
the size of ourjquail and ! of similar
; habits. This bird takes, ita name
ircca one of its odd ways; having no
senee of self-preservation, it will fly
P from its covey and sit on a low
bash and let you shoot it "or knock
lt off with a stick or even catch it.
its home is in the mountains.
Among: the larger came is the
Caraboo, an animal rarely heard ot
He
18 something like the moose, has
broad head and of course
for
m a good target for a poor shot.
He
rge8 in the mountains in herds
attains to the weight of 1,200
. wnda sometimes. -
.aere are four species of deer
m the mountain goat and - the
.mountain
sheep. There are also
four species of bear; the eilver tip or
ball face, the grizzly, . tfce black and
the cinnamon bear. The latter
name is from the color of the hair.
The cinnamon and the black are;
often tamed, but the grizzly is'
somewhat cross, -and as for the eiW
yer tip or ball face, he is ferocious!
and is a terror to the natives.
Theywill charge upon yqir without!
pro vocation,; while the otter species;
will only fight .in self defence when
wounded or bayed. ' ' " "'; I
The climate is not extreme. T The
winters are longbut the temperature
is e quable. The "lakes; aocf riveri
are our ideas of Switzerland iin tbeir
placid beauty. The streams flow
along smoothly and grandly and ever
and anon they wilen out into lakes
of charming pictdresqaepess when
the crystal waters again flow on the
verge of valley -land when they
plunge along ' through mountain
gorges in their haste to reaclj an
other spread of valley land where
again the river and lakes are afloat
with boats 250 feet in length, and
pleasure, yachts plying from town to
town doing the great carrying- ser
