lIThe old yellow AImanac. .

When Ella Wheeler Wilcox wrote the
poem, having for title the same heading
as this article, she touched q chord that
vibrated in thousands of hearts. For
Ayers Almanac, "The Old Yellow AL
manac," of the poem, is intimately asso-
GATED with the days and deeds of a
large part of the worlds population
How large a part of the population this
general statement may include can be
gathered from the fact that the yearly
issue of Ayers Almanac is from 1000
600 to 25,000,000 copies. 1t is printed
in twenty-eight editions and in some
eighteen languages, including, besides
English-Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch,
German, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian,

The result is that it stands on q par,

with the q. S. Nautical Almanac, and
testimony to this fact is found year after
year in the letters, referred to the al
manac department Of the company, from
students and matheIhaticians in various
parts of the world. In its permanence
and reliability Ayers Almanac stands
as very fitting type of the Aver Rene
ies-indispensable in the family and re-
liable every day in the year. The 1897
edition of this useful almanac is now in
course of distribution through the drug

IN THE FACE CT A CLIFF.
The Richest Gold Nine in British Column
bia is Thus Situated.

J. 3. Hastings, weil-known practical
miner. resident in Spokane. who recently
paid a professional visit to the Golden
Cache mine. has given the following par
ticulars concerning that now famous
gold quartz Welding property, says the
Tacoma Ledger. The property was only
discovered and located last spring. and
is situated about thirteen miles up Ca
yuSe creek from the town of LilloOet on
the Fraser river, which in its turn is
sixty miles from Ashcroft on the main
line of the Central Pacific railroad. The
holdings of the Golden Cache company.
which is a Vancouver concern, consist of
five claims. The Golden Cache itself is
the most valua BILE as well as the most
interesting of these properties. The out
crop of the vein is horizontally along the
middle of a perpendicular cliff about 800
feet in height and about 1900 feet above
the creek bed This creek has been
worked for placer for many years and
hundreds of thousands Of dollars in gold
dust and nuggets have been recovered
from it. Float from the Golden Cache
vein has been found for years and
the ledge has been DrOSpected for many
times until last spring always without
success. Having prOspected every other
spot in the neighborhood attention was
finally turned 10 the perpendicular bluff
above alluded to. and after exciting
climbing along its face supported by
ropes the vein was at last located
Where the ledge outcrops it shows an
aver &c width of u feet At one
point it is % feet wide. The pay chute
so far as disclosed is known to be 400
feet long, while the ledge itself has been
traced for over 5000 feet. The vein lies
very fiat. dipping into the hill at an
angle of only 20 degrees. The ledge is
situated 5000 feet above the level of the
sea and about 1900 feet above Cayoosh
creek. The ore shows gold all over the
ledge, and assays running all the way
from $500 to $50. 600 10 the ton have
been made. The property was purchased
last spring for $4,000 cash. AS to the
grade of the ore, it is very high. All
that we ever saw of it was full of masses
and strings of free sold, but what they
will average can only be determined after
the mill has been in operation for some
time. The discovery Of the Golden Cache
is perhaps the richest yet made in Brit
iSh Columbia.

Victim of a Bear Trap.

A highly improbable story reached
Otto this week, says the Big Horn
(Wyo) Rustler, which was given with
so much circumstantial detail as TO lead
to the belief that it was true, instead
of imaginary. as all hope it may yet
turn out to be. As the story ran, a
bear hunter whose name was not learned,
about two weeks ago started into the
Big Horn mountains, east Of Red Bank,
with his gun and large bear trap, with
which he hoped to catch bear. He found
a locality which promised him success
we'll up in the mountains, and driving a
stake fast in the ground attached his
trap to it by a heavy chain ana then
proceeded to set it. From this point
nothing further is known of the man S
movements until he was found with both
arms fastened in the trap and he rigid
in death. i is supposed that the tap
sprung while he was setting II and
caught him as he was found How long
he lay in this terrible plight. or wheth-
CT starvation or the frost ended his suf-
ferings in death, is not known. It has
been impossible 10 learn the mans name
or anything about his fate further than
what is told above. and we do not youch
for the truth of the yarn, giving it just
as 1t came to this Office.

How Our Meat Trade is Injured.

Ten or fifteen years ago." says a
business man quoted by the Philadelphia
Record, 1.-The canned meats put up in
square tins by American houses were
sold in great quantities in Samoa. It
was not long before Australia and New
Zealand packers saw that they were
missing good thing, so they sent out
agents who circulated 4 story among the
natives to the effect that cheap Alneri-
human flesh. They said that in the
process OF preparing the bones of the
dead Cinnamon for shipment to the Ce-
lestial Empire from San Francisco the
meat was canned and labeled beef for
Pacific island consumption. The story
gained credence to such an extent that
the natives stunned the square tins and
could only be induced to buy the round
fat tins put out by Australian and New
Zealand houses. That prejudice exists
today to such an extent that United
States Consul Mulligan has mentioned
it in his report to the state department. ;"
