EXCITEMENT ON THE INCREASE.

The Frazer river gold fever is on the increase.
Everyfew hours we hear of more and more people,
many of them men in fair business hero, packing
up and preparing to start off. The hotels are all
full. The What Cheer House, a favourite resort,
has been filled to overflowing, and hundreds have
bad to be sent away, who had flocked down from
tl:e interior of the State. Many of the business
houses of the city have already made la.ge amounts
of money in selling goods to miners, and, in some
instances, outfits have been made out for setting
up stores at Bellingham Bay and other places.
