A BIG STRIKE.-One of the richest
bodies of ore ever struck in Taylor, says
the White Pine Reflex of the Sth, was
found in the Selfcocker, one of the
Argus Company's claims, the first of the
week. If it is as rich as it looks it will
60 81 900 to the ton, if not more. The
ore body has not yet been cut through,
but is all of seven feet wide at present.
The indications are that it will be much
wider. The ground being soft there is a
chance for large ore body to live. There
is no waste to speak of in the en- ire body.
Instead of sorting it, it will be necessary
to mix it with low grade ores. To say it
is little short of shoveling half-dollar
pieces into the bucket is no exaggeration.
At the time of our visit Wednesday last
there was about ten tons of this character
of ore on the dump. From this point
north for nearly half mile considerable
work is being done near the surface, and
in one place short distance north of the
Murphy Cut, on the Sunrise, they are
just quarrying it out square on the sur.
face at the rate of Is tons day. The
ore at this point goes about $50, which it
is proposed to work with the rich ore
from the Self.cocker.

EXIT REEL.

Louis Rie1, the half breed Canadian rebel who dared to defy the British lion, paid the penalty of his audacity yesterday. He was hung with neatness and dispatch and met his fate bravely.
 The career of Riel was curious one. He was born in 1844 about five miles from Fort Garry, now Winnipeg, the capital of Manito- ba. He was partially educated at Montreal for the Roman Catholic priesthood, and has always been under the influence of the church. In 1869, while some government surveyors were running line across land which Rie1 considered to be the rightful property of half breed friends, he set his foot on the chain and commanded the men to leave. They obeyed and Riel soon after gathered an insurgent force and opened his first rebellion. He fled to this country in the spring of 1870 and was by act of Parlia- ment declared banished from British territo- " for five years. What he contended for in this instance was afterwards established by law, and the people showed their admiration of the rebel by eleeting him to their Parlia- ment. His second and recent revolt was undertaken on as good ground and probably at the same instigation as the first.
 The government can, of course, give good reasons for hanging this rebel, but there are many good reasons why he should not have been hung. It looks now as if it would have been much wiser to spare his life. To the people of this coun- try, who have seen many worse and more powerful rebels than Riel allowed to live in as much freedom and peace as they could find, it seems hard that such little rebel as Riel should be made to feel the heaviest vengeance of the English govern ment What effect his punishment will have remains to be seen. It is predicted that one result will be the retirement from power of Sir John Macdonald. But it is probable that now that Riel is finally disposed of his friends VII nor 1e es Esuy eraia mas great reason 70 feel disappointed by the hanging of Riel, for it has made tremendous effort to save him. Day after day it has printed columns of mat ter in his behalf, and given good and sufi- cient reasons why his life should be spared. But the English government wanted him out of the way, and nothing was allowed to ob- struct the carrying out of it's purpose. But the hanging of this poor and perhaps half crazed wretch will not reflect much honor upon those who did it.
