arrival on this side, after his hand
ing. and when it is presumably
certain that the immigrant will no
longer be a burden upon the reve-
nues OF Great Britain.
The uuayoidabIe inference is that
this privilege OF Communication,
whether 80 intended by the British
government or not, serves rs an In
dncement and stimulus to the needy
pensioners to immigrate from the
British domlnions. Attention Is
further called to the fact that before
these pensioners are permitted to
commute their pensions they are
required TO sign y document waiv-
ing ell Claim to the pension rolls or
the charitable institutions of the
British empire; also that the sum
resulting from such Communication Of
the pension is seldom sufficient to
preserve the immigrant from be-
coming a public charge for any con
siderable length Of tune, while such
immigrants are usually, through age
or other disability, unable to earn
livelihood. The acting secretary
closes his letter by saying;
'sThe result Is this country Is
asked TO receive and maintain q
class Of alien immigrants, who,
however merltorious may have been
their military service TO a foreign
nation, and however exemplary
may have been their personal char
acter, yet are unable to be self
sustaining, and are IN effect, If not
technically, assisted immigrants
within the prohibitions OF our
statues. should thank you 10 cali

isters to this aspect Of the Gibbons
case, and to impress upon him that
while, at his request, the Gibbons
family have been permitted to land,
this action must not be considered o
precedent in future cases of sub.

holders In the Albany Mining and
Milling Company, have returned
from their mines In the Santlam
district. Tney brought back gold
bricks amounting TO $1,000, the re.
suit of few days run, testing their
new ten-stamp quartz mill, which
they say runs perfectly. The COM
pany Is naturally elated over the
outlook ut the mines. They have
fifteen men at work, and this force
will be increased and the mill will
run night aud day In a short time.
The gold taken out was free gold

be shipped out for reduction. The
party travelled fifteen miles through
the mountains on snowshocs. The
snow Is now rapidly disappearing.
