NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Government Explorers Making Paths In
an Unknown Country.


Mr.. A. l. Poudrier, of the government ex-
ploring party in charge of the British Columbia
explorations, who arrived on the Danube Mon
day, very i'll, is fast improving and expects to
get up to the skeena on the 18th OF June, and
rejoin his party there He is confined 70 his
room, at the Oriental hotel, with Inflammation
of the blood vessels, caused by exposure in the
snowy mountainous district, through which he
was travelling. The party left here about two
months ago, and up TO the LIST OF May all en-
joyed perfect health. On that date. while cross
ing the mountains, Mr.. Poudrier sipped on one
of the icy slopes and sprained his ankle, and
lack OF medical attention, together with the
hardship of sleeping each night on the snow,
brought on the Inflammation.
The expedition explored the interior plateau.
from Gardeners inlet and Desne's channel up to
the skeena- Between the sea and the interior
plateau the country is of q very mountainous
character and the snow Is yet very deep. The
days are getting warm, however, and the snow
is soft in the daytime that travel is di fcult,
and the expedition travelled the country on this
side of the mountains at night, when the crust
was hard, laying of for rest and sleep during
the day.
Two splendid passes were discovered, and the
Keemano river was followed from its source 10
the sea- II 10 not q nsvigable stream. The av
erage elevation of the mountain range in that
portion of the country Is about 1000 feet. The
party came across a peak that wss upwards OF
1900 feet, aid which was hitherto unknown TO
geographers II was not named by them, but
the Indians have name for 1t which has es-
capped Mr.. Poucrier's memory.
The explorers are now coming down from
GARDENERS inlet to the mouth of the skeena,
where MI Poudrier will join them. Il is ex-
pected that the other party. in charge of Mr..
6avreau, will also reach there in few days,
and both viii consolidate into one exploration
expedition. II il now working from the foot of
the Rocky mountains, in new Caledonia, 70 the

almost unknown section
