Gold Mining in British Columbia.
The first authenticated discovery Of
gold in British Colum bia, according to
DR.. 6. M. Dawson, occurred at Mitch
ell or Gold Harbor, on the west coast
of Queen Charlotte island, in 1851, a
nugget weighing several ounces having
been accidentally picked up by an
Indian woman on the seashore. This
nugget was brought to Fort Simpson,
and. coming into the possession of the
officer in charge of the Hudson Bay
Company's post at that place, was for
,varded by him to the company's head
quarters at Victoria. An expedition
was at once fitted out, and, proceeding
to the spot, succeeded in locating a
quartz vein seven inches wide, report
ed to contain 25 per cent gold in some
places.' The find was worked for
some months and then abandoned, the
narrow vein entirely giving out; no
other indications of mineral were ever
found on the island. Notwithstanding
that this extraordinary little seam oi
quartz had yielded in few weeks it
was worked value of $4,000 on the
wo1d of one authority, or $75. ZOO on
that of another. Aboutt the same time
coal, which had been discovered on
Vancouver island as far back as 1885,
began to be mined in earnest at Nanai-
mo.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Secretary Viii
son in an interview emphasized the
great commercial significance of the
"open door, concert of the powers re-
specting China. But for this action the.
United States would have been shut out
from trade advantages in any province
which other nations might see fit to
take possession of. He further said in
part:
1.-The work of Secretary Hay in this
regard supplements and compliments
the work OF our army and navy. A year
ago no nation would have listened to "a
proposition OF this kind, but the whole
world listens to the United States Now
the white mans burden comes with
the islands Secretary Hays work
brings the reward for lifting the burden.
Some idea of the yastness OF the inter
ests involved may be gained from the
fact that while ten years ago our exports
from the Pacific coast to all countries
aggregated S36,000,0 900 and five years
ago P4%, 600, $50, the steady increase In
Pacific coast exports has raised the ag-
gregate to S13. 900, 900 year ago"
