 DtS ouiI d 1C" oi b't older residents will remember one L. J. Watson, who formerly lived her, , who was considerably of color, and who, though claiming relationship with former mayor of the town, was chiefly noted for an unfortunate i'm pediment in his yeracity with which many persons believed him to be in- curable affiliated All of which only serves to show that one can't almost always sometimes tell what the turns of the wheel of fortune may bring. Judging by what the Victoria CoIonist says, Watson is now on the top round of the ladder, and so far advanced in wealth and business prosperity that he not only is the owner of vast min eral wealth in the Queen. Charlotte islands, but has actually organized the 'Queen Charlotte Navigation con- pany," which is to operate line of first class steamers between Vic toria and Ketchikan, via Vancouver, Prince Rupert, Jedway 'and Masset. It is stated that the steamers have been purchased in England, and tha, the new line will be put in operation
