' which,THE CLIMATE, •h• -••variable, as the Col f e said, was ony o ritish Columbia was very extensive, but - on the hole, a, more healthy climatecould.not be. fo und the face of the earth. The climate of Van- c r's Island, also, take it the year round; was most pleasant and favourable . 1 ,.. ,THE SOIL. , • The old cry which had been raised about the SOU of British Columbia being so barren, rocky, and mountaneous, that nothing Would grow upon it had now become pretty nearly exploded. He : could say that the soil was, for the mostpart, ex- Cellent, . and in every respect most -productive. The many thougands who had, within late years emigrated there,.and. who were industrious and. persevering, have succeeded in making good and comfortable homes for themselves,,and there was yet it sufficiency of arable land to Ifurnish homesto and comfort for the many thousands who were yet to -go. As a prOof of this, he had only 'to point to the rapid progress which. the . Colonly had made. In 1858, when gold was first discov- ered on the Frazer river, the country was almost a complete 'wilderness, but since that time it had been explored, and they had now a Lraveled . road. carried through, equal to any in this coun- t d o rer 400 miles in leRgth. t The general try an %, ,. aspect of the country M VaWover's Island was mountainous. In, .proceediftk from the. .gacific coa,st, arid passing up the lower Frazer, the coast range of'mountains to the table lands, which, al- though intersected with mountain peaks, contain a, VaSt area of excellent land. Passing 90 miles further on, the Cascade rane6e .of mountains are rea,ched. Next comes the Bald Mountain range, where the great Caraboo gold recrion is situated. a - PRODUCTS. t'.1: - The productions of the country up to the pres, . - ent time have not been sufficiently developed, to rt ' 've an index of what may be expected in the fu.- - . • tare. A considerable amount of gold has been found u in the 'eastern 'districts, but in the vi- p T3 1 - M • cunty of the ald andRocky ountams, the dis- coveries of gold are, fa,st beginning. . The lecturer - had frequently been asked by :Canadians, if he . 1 1 the 1 f * thatld consic er",c ie,supp y o gold. in,country nearly exhausted • but it was his film persuasion ' . - that at the present tune, the average product for . . each miner' is one and ii, half per cent. in British Columbia, to one in the !post productive minei of California True there were not so many large • , " hauls" made now as formerly. ,. Now, the yield ' is more gradual. _At first, for-everype who was successful, several hundreds left the country com- 1 t 1 ' 1." Fish were also ver flamer- p e e y ' strappec .

Recentl man rarties have entered into salm* . - fishing,which has w became quite a profitable busi- ness as a, large export trade has been' esta,blished. . ,r* The fish from those waters are row being export- ed to. -Various parts of the world. This branch of - industry, alone, must eventually prove a source - of great Wealth to the country. Whale fishing, is:now, also, being prosecuted very extensively. TIMBER. The greatest draw -back to many" sections, is _ the scarcety of good timber. In many parts, the - only available .timber is a .species of crab-apple which makes ver fair fuel but is almost ' - • Y ' -useless for other purposes. All the timber re- : quired for the manufacture of agricultural imple• ts has tobe im ortedfrom the Eastern States , • ' which makes it very expensive In Cariboo, axe sell for $2.50. Between the Cascade, -range of mountains and the coast, there are some veryfine hspeeimens of pine, w. em h . - - ---- ble our -emlock, and which are very ich much usefilres vel for building fencing etc. This timber rows ry '- g plentifully in this quarter, and frequently'. to a Wm,. reat size many of tihe trees ranging from five e. a , - to six feet in diameter at the butt, andsome even going as high as nine feet eleven inches. This timber will yet be a, source of very- great wealth 1.1. 4. - - to tne country, and its abunda,nce will in a great measure, make up for the lack of other kinds.
