FrazYr's river omptiss into the Gulf of
Georgia. branoh Of Puget's Sound, a
few miles north Of the 49th parallel, which
is the boundary between our territory and
thu Aritsh possessions. Its head waters
interIo-k with thoss Of ths Columbia and
the Atnabasca. For the first half of its
course it ruas ia southsrly direction,
when it turns westward. At distance of
l5o miles from its mouth it is joined by
Thompson's river, consi derable stream

at the mouth Of Que -que-alIa river, sixty
vine miles above Fort Langl-y. To the
Gals" is StwelvA miles further, and thence
to Thompson's River Forks is Gfy-Gve
miles. Thus The whole distance from the
mouth Of Ffarer's River, to the Gold dig

Above Fort langley the river is practi.

or mules to be procured in all of that re-

1t is by the route above indicated that
most of the gold seekers will find their
way to the new places. There is, howev
er, another route, via the Columhis River
and the Dales; but the distance is four or
five hundred miles.
The latitude ofthe Thompson's River

nearly three hundred miles further north
than Quebec. But it must be remember.

mild in comparison with that Of similar lat

1t will be evident, even from this i'm
