When Discovered He Removed the
Whole Collection.
One day, while watching, I saw a
crowcrossing the Don valley with some
thing white in his beak. He flew to the
mouth of the Rosedale brook, then took
a short flight to the Beaver Elm. There
he dropped the white object, and, look
ing about, gave ne chance to recog-
nize my old friend Silverspot. After a
minute he picked up the white thing "a
shetland walked over past the spring,
and here, among the docks and the
skunk cabbages, he unearthed a pile
Of shells and other white, shiny things.
He spread them out in the sun, turned
them over, lifted them one by one in his
beak. dropped them, nestled on them
as though they were eggs, toyed with
them end gloated over them like q
miser. This was his hobby, his weak
ness. He could not have explained why
he enjoyed them. any more than boy
can explain why he collects postage
stamps or girl why she prefers pearls
to rubies; bat his pleasure in them was
very real, and after half an hour he
covered them oil, including the new one,
with earth and leaves. and flew OF. I
went at once to the spot and examined
the hoard; there was about hatful in

and some bits of tin, but there was also
the handle Of china cup, which must

NEW GOLD FIELDS IN CANADA,

Rich Region About to BE Opened In
the Far Northwest.
Living between the Yukon basin and
Cariboo is vast untrodden region
which offers tempting reward for thor
ough exploration. The territory is a
continuation of that great gold-bearing
belt of which California, Colorado, Ne
vada, Kootenay, Cariboo and the Yukon
are sections; but the wild mountain
Businesses of this uneXpiored territory
have so far resisted the white mans en-
trance, and the great area stretching
between latitudes "a degrees and So de-
grees and extending from the Rocky
mountains on the east to 1913 degrees
west longitude, remains terra incog-
nita. That streams tributary to the
Yukon, Peau river and the Lizard, known
to be rich in placer gold, and rivers
flowing through Cariboo and Cassiar,
noted for their gold beds many years
ago, all take their rise on the outskirts
of this vast territory, would indicate
the presence of mineral wealth in the
unknown field.
Two men who had been washing gold
along streams of this outlying district
brought ou. S4S,000 worth of the yellow
dust. During the summer one pros
pector found a nugget worth $40, and
in October large nugget worth $500
was sent from the southern part of the
territory. Within the past few weeks
the discovery of extensive bodies of fine
milling gold quartz was reported to the
British Columbia minister of mines by
prospectors who left last summer 70

had prevented more thorough eXplora-
tiom, but the veins were said to be OF
extraordinary width, and We're exposed
for miles across the country. Samples
of quartz. rich in gold. accompanied the
report; but so wild, remote and inacces-
sible is the region these deposits can
not be worked until the Tislin Lake
Telegraph Creek railway or the Cassiar
Central has been built.
The unopel.cd terr11ory is various.y

sections, as the Omlneca, the Pease

speaking, it is bounded on the east by
the Rocky mountains, on the west by
theYukon and the Pacific slope, and on
the south by the Cariboo. The neares;
point on the Canadian Pacific railroad
is almost GOO miles from its southern
limits, but the Omineca can be reached
