We print bélow an interesting f | article on the placer gold deposits of the Omineca river «district, Child, whe has had an.experience in the district of eight years. The firat ereek to be struck of}! any importance in the Omineca District was Vital: the next Tom Hiand Manson Creeks, }/eaused a general stampede from Cariboo and the Coast, The camp underwent the usual exper- fllience of 2 new camp, becoming famous ina day, living a short life and a merry one, and then subsided in favor of the next dis- | covery, which was Cassiar. The next camp north of Cassiar is Atlin, and again north of Atlin is Klondyke. ~ It is a rernarkable fact: that by drawing a straight line from the Klondyke. to the Cariboo it passes through the in- termediate. ‘camps mentioned, showing. conclusively the trend of the gold belt. The days for individual mining for this camp have passed and gone, but-it most certainly poa- gesses great inducements for capital to work on alarge scale. || Owing to the want of transpor- ‘tation facilities, the mining inter- j|ests of Manson have had to. lie i|dormant, but the time. is. very. near now when, this barrier will beremoved, The construction of under way, and passes through the.‘Omineca Mining “ District. | This fact is drawing the attention ‘iof the investing public to the great mining: resources of this country.
