BRITISH COLUMBIA PROSPECTS.
Country Rich In Mineral and the
Outlook Good

A Colorado gentleman who passed
through Salt Lake last summer on his
way to British Columbia, writes from
Nelson to a friend in this city as fol-
lows:
81 arrived here without any trouble
the second day after leaving Salt Lake
and found a very pretty, lively place
here, but not an American town, by
any means.
THE place is growing fast, lots Of
building is going on and real estate
and rents are very high indeed. 1t is
no place to look for work of any kintb
however, as every place of any account
is filled by Canadians and Englishmen
with a pull The population consists
chiefly Of Canadians and English, and
they are not like Americans, as they
lack energy and life and it takes all
day to do business with them that
you could with an American in an hour
L do not think there is any doubt
however, but that Nelson will be the
chief town of the Kootenay, and by
the close of next summer will probably
have 10000 people. Three steamboats,
run in here and two railroads, and
next summer there will be another.
There is considerable money here.
and the country is so rich in mineral
and the possibilities in the mining line
are so great that business is bound to
be good. The Kootenay is indeed a
great mineral country and mining
property Of all kinds is changing hands
constantly There are splendid oppor-
tunities here for investment, both in
real estate and mining property, and
when l saw here, l mean the whole
kootenay country

POCKETS FULL OF GOLD.
Provo Parties Strike 1t Rich Out on
the Sweatwater

Enos Carter and Penny Steele are in

their gold property on the Sweetwater,
about 100 miles north Of Rawlins, Wyo.,
says the Rural Press of Ogden. AS a
result Of their absence they have done
exceedingly we'll As the old saying is,
they happened to strike it rich, and
came back home with their pockets full
of nuggets besides making a small ship
ment to the mint at Denver, which
viii probably net them 1000 each.
The nuggets brought back by them
are the richest the mining editor ever
gaZed upon, some of which carry about
% per cent weight gold, assaying
something like $4,000 per ton. There
has never been anything shown in this
locality like it Mr. Carter says they
are perfectly satisfied with their sum-
mer's work. They have leased the prop
erty to parties who are now working
it. and while of course, all the ore is
not as rich as that mentioned above, it
Is sufficient to nay big if a mill was
built near by. They are looking for the
nuggets. and when they run out of
