PLACER GOLD OF CARIBOO 7

The Geological Survey of Canada

~ Lhas published n report by W. Al John-

ston and W.. Ll. Uglow on the placer
and pold quartz deposits of Barker-
ville, Cariloo district, B. 6. The rich
vold plicers of Barkrville were discay-
ered in 1840 and still hold a great deal
of interest for the mining man, The
total production probably amounts to
335,000,000 of which moe rthan malf
was likely recovered during the tira

W. 8S. Anderson was the first farmer
the Kitsumkallum ° Vahey to start into
the bee innustry, and. although only
three yeers since he started hd has
now twenty hives with on average of
126 pounds of honey’ per year per hive.
He has planned that ag soon as condl-
tions are favorable to make honey the
real industry of his farm. Thus far
he has given only his spare tim eto the
bees. He will get considerably more

Hand cleared so that he can produce a

crop to feed the‘bees. He aims at onc
huudred hives. He‘has no hesitation
in saying that it can be made a very
snecessful line of farming, both elim-
ate and vegetation bing favorable,

Owing to the succession of pollen
and nectar bearing plauts Iu the spring
many colonies may be built up strong:
ly and prepared for the main honey
flow in the moxtha of June, July and
August, These enrly plants © which
bear the nectar are willow, native ber-
‘Ties, such a8 blue berries, also the cul-
tivated raspberries. The orehard frutt
bloom niso inyoluntarily yields the
rmauch sought for nectar to the ener-
getie workers.

The before mentioned nectar appar-
rntly becomes latent in the bees, the
inain flow being derived from fireweed
white Dueth, Alaska clover and milk-
weed. The honey produced locally is
of extremely fine texture and does not
grunnlate readily. It. is also fine
flavored and that is the reason it is so
eusily disposed ef both locally and out-
alde.

in the Terrace hotel with president J.
K. Gordon in the chair. There was o
good attendance and important mat:
ters were discussed. After routine
business was finished a committee was
appointed to arrange for the registra-
tion of the association under the So-
eleties Act. Mrs, Sundal was ap-
pointed to the house committee in the
place of Mrs. J. K. Frost who has re-
moved from the district. Mrs. Head
and Mrs. Dover as representatives
from the Hospital Auxiliary brought
before the: board the suggestion that

for the hosplial. The executive was
unanimous in considering it a worthy
objective as well 26 a necessary part
of hogpital equipment, As Dr, Turpel
was not present it was nat possible to
make much headway for the Jack of
jnoformation, but this will be secured
at the earliest moment and a decision

to other hospitals where there is on

economy to instl a machine here. A.

This Morning

‘ t
Just before eleven o'clock this Frl-
day morning the old Charleston home

ton ‘Hosnital was destrayed by fire. Et
was a complete los,s including practi-
eally al] the contents as well,
last summer the house and part of the
farm was leased by Clyde Hunt and he
anr Mrs. Hunt have been Illving there
since. When Mrs. Hunt put on the
fire for dinner the chimney took fire
unknown to either’ Mrs. Hunt or to
Mrs. Hunt, Sr., who ig visiting there.
The fire was noticed at the Hospital
and word was phoned to Mr. Hunt
dewn town. He got’ Aa car and a lot
of men and hurried out, but ‘by the
time they arrived. the whole place was
in flames and there’ was nothing they
could do except watch the surrounding
‘bnildings. About all that was saved
aut of the wreck was a gramophone
and some chairs, Very little, if any of:
their clothing was saved. Mr. Hunt
‘carried some insurance on his house-
huid goods, but not enough as matters
Stund at present.

The Charleston place is one of the
oldest buildings in the district. It was
built over twenty. years ago and foo
Fears was headquarters for the Char-
Iston and Barrett pack train and later
for the Charleston pack train. Since
then it has been oceupled by a numbei
of people, inculding the Harris boys
during the big mining activity on the

CARD OF THANKS |

Mrs. B, Monsell and family wish to
thank all friends and neighbors for the

The only other. necessary protection
belng a few sacks thrown over the
brood chamber. At present there are
about forty colonies in the district and
each colony is producing from 100 te
150 pounds of honey per yea,r which
amount compares very favorably with
production in any other part of B. C.

Up to the present time most of the
honey has been disposed of locally al-
though Mr, Anderson has shipped to:
the United States and to various sta-
tions along the railway. He finds a

‘imarket ready for all that he can pro-

duce. All who have given the hee

time'‘of any in the Terrace district to
get into the honey ‘business, Propi-
tious, nature will do her part if man
will, only render assistance by clear-
ing land and planting mor orehards
and crops, without which all the fav-
orable inclination of the bee is futile.
