A TURN OF THE TIDE.

From San Francisco kilograms 70 the
Victoria Colonist, it would seem rs If
the capitalists Of the former city are
beginning to take an interest in the
quartz lodges Of Cariboo. We have
never doubted that auriferous quartz
could be found ia large bodies in that
section; our only doubt was as to the
the refractory character of the ores. for
We were once an owner in mine the
rock from which assayed s62 per ton,
by cupellstion, and would not yield s.
by mill work. So we have always q
grain of caution about quartz invest
ments in future.
There are two companies incorpora-
ted under the auspices Of J.J. Valen.
tine, of Wells. Fargo & Co., with CAPT
tel stock at two and q half millions
each. These will soon lead to other
movements of like character, and, al
though lone swallow does not make .
summer" yet enough is already known
to warrant the belief that large guam
titles Of quartz machinery and mining
supplies will be shipped into the Carl
boo country after May next. The tide
that has been flowing over the Sierras
to develop the silver mines of Nevada
hes received check from the persistent
efforts Of All the leading fnsnciers in
the East to demonetizs silver. Gold il
the most sought for because it il never
subject to depreciation and hence we
should not be surprised to see many
disappointed Nevada miners going in
to Cariboo to develop the quartz lodges
Of that section.
Again. San Francisco capitalists are
tired Of the Comstock ledge. and have,
one by one. dropped out, leaving the
great bonanza 6rm of Flood & O'Brien
to control it all. They will control oil,
from Sierra Nevada to Crown Point, in
two yesrs more. 1t is, therefore, no
wonder that men of enterprise feel as if
they needed new field Of operations,
rather than be overshadowed by the
great money power Of the Nevada
Bank. We need not, therefore. DO sur
prissd il We see large amount Of CAPT
tel going into Cariboe in the Spring.
All the grain supplies for that country
will lave to 60 in from the lower Fra
ses. and Puget Sound will come to the
rstous Of that section which. for two
q three years at least will be unable
pply the demand.

fervor that he would chant the 7e De-

+ a LIFE FOR A LIFE.

August weather-there was NJ air
stirring from one arid noon until the
next, and the .ineects kissed mali
ciously all day long in the parcbed
grasses. Perhaps that was the rea-
son Bertrode was blue.
Perhaps it was tina as she walked
Growers Tract, day by day, and saw
the summers limited c"mple'ion in
the red apples burning am"ng the
gray green ughs, the ha> fields at
attermar'b, the pnrpled tasselled corr
and yellow wheat, that she felt her
life to be aimless. Size had let the
summer come and wane across he'
passive existence. The previous
winter she had said, i ieel ice bonnd
now. When summer comes, l will
shake off this inertion and redeem to
day.
Yet the summer was rapidly pas
sing and she was still dream. The
hour never seemed to come which
called her to exertion. Well, Loves
young dream comes bnt once; it was
all wsll, perhaps.
Growers Tract and Der farmhouse
life was not dull as sc had expected
it would be when she returned from
her mountain tour year before; on
~ at times the ont door sounds and
the leisurely growing works ofnature
oppressed her. In the winter she
had been gay, looking at the Sunset
across the snow, watching the chich>
ADDE'S, and searching the woods tor
purple mererion. In the spring the
long walks to the postoffice had been
ful of joyful fancies and golden reaIi
&iee; she loved the sweet country
sights and scenes more than ever be-
fore in her life.
But in August something seemed
to oppress her. The sky burned too
blue, the woods were too calmly con.
tent in their greenness, the days clos
ed too beautifully in their ripe splen
dor, as she walked the Tract at sun,
ses, coming from the post Office
coming always empty handed. Yes,
something was wrong, and when che
realized 1t tnlly, she said:
"Isam idle--I am stepped in idle
ness. have been doing nothing for
8 year. Now / will have sorne work
and Dick may 60 to the post office.
! care too much for those letters"
Whatever those letters might be,
there come no more of them. A cer-
tain gay tourist drifting about the
world, forgot to write them at last;
perhaps Bertrodo was pretty, but one
travelling everywhere meets many
pretty faces.
Bertrode's cheek grew thin and
white. Her mother saw that she
struggled to repress a growing irri-
tableness. But che worked on I'M,
ceasingly at her new employment Of
teaching the district school at Gro
ver's Tract. She devoted herself tc
the children. Their pa, ents said
hey had never before learned so fast
