RODRIGUE VICTORIA LU] HUQHITT ^,^^Jirn'''ft the various cities ard outlying districts of the Province, obliging them to follow similiar measures as the publishing companies of the Ontario and other provincial directories, by introducing a smaller type thereby making the volume less unwieldy, and more convenient for dispatch by mail We have, during the past year, been much gratified and encouraged in our efforts to advertise, through the medium of the Directory, the re- sources of the Province, which have called forth numeroud < nruiries from influential persons, seeking information regarding the iron mines and other products of the country, the result of which it is hoped will be to in- duce enterprising capitalists to invest their money in some of the many British Columbia's profitable industries. The securities of the Province we may mention are held in high esteem, by investors ^ouerally in the great money marts of the world, which of itself is a most excellent indication of the value placed by others on the future prosperity of the country. We desire to tender our thanks to the various persons throughout the Provinee who have kindly placed at our disposal any information which hat) aided us in making this work a success.

The llocky Mountains abruptly at tlieir eastern base jin the plain or prairie region of litral Canada. They are composed la lannber of more or less nearly Mllel ranges, which have u general direction a little west of north, and a breadth of over GO miles. }5etween the 51st and 52ud parallels the ranges de- crease rapidly in height. The province that has been lightly spoken of as a " Sea of Mountains," deriving a certain majesty from its I isolation, is now traversed by a rail- j way, accurately described as the high- I way between Liverpool and Hong j Kong. In 1881 the Canadian Government I entered into a contract with a syndi- cate of cajjitalists to build a railway from Ontario to the Pacific Ocean, and to complete aud operate it by the year 1891. An act of Piirliaiueut was Ijassed embodying the contract with the syndicate, a company was organ- ized and work was immediately com- menced aud prosecuted with such vigor that the last rail iu the gigantic railway that nowbiuds British Colum- bia to the Eastern Provinces of Canada was laid in November, 1885, six years before the time stipulated in the contract between the Government and the Company. The completion of this maguitioent line, the longest, under one management in the world, was the dawn oif a new era on the North Pacific Coast, and now allows the current of trade to flow uuin- teruptedly between the Atlantic and the Pacific. This road has pierced the successive ranges of the llocky Mountains, Sel- .a U CO Are Complete House Furnisliers- The Largest Stock in B.C. m I 1 iiliios'!!

The busy life that teems on either side of the Atlantic already surges towards the west, irapatient to reach the latent wealth of the Western provinces, and to seek on the shores of the Pacific new fields for its enterprise and capital. The voyage from London to Yoko- kama has already been made in 21 days via the Canadian Pacific Rail- way, and this time will be still further reduced. It will soon be the highway to Australia. Vancouver, the Pacific terminus of the Canadian Pacific rail- way, is the point of embarkation for Japan and China in the new and short- est highway to the Orient. This great BAILWAY lilNE Is not only the shortest across the continent of America, but has the eas- iest gradients and the lowest pass through the Pocky mountains. The distance from San Francisco to New York by the Central Pacific is 3,390, while that from Vancouver to New York via Montreal is only 3,241 or a difierence of 149 miles. And from Vancouver to Liverpool via Montreal, 6,075 miles, while from San Fran- cisco to Liverpool via New York it is 6,830 miles, or a difference in favor of the Canadian route of 765 miles. From Yokohama, Japan, to Liverpool via the Central Pacific railway is 12,- 038, and via the Canadian Pacific 10, 936 miles. It will thus be seen that from China and Japan this route to Liverpool is more than 1,000 miles short«r than the one by the Central Pacific; and from its geographical re- lations to the ocean trade of the east and west, gnes it a commanding in- fluence upon the commerce of the con- tinent. British Columbia stands today with doors wide open, inviting the ENTEBFBISINQ OAPITAIiIBT, The enlightened farmer, the skilled artisan, the frugal and industrious laborer, aod all who understand the use of hands and brains, to enter and Earticipate in the work of developing er resources, increase her budding industries, and make for themselvei! homes where they may enjoy the com forts, and, in time, even the luxuries ot life. Nor is this invitation ex tended to the subjects of Great Bii tain aione, for the intelligent, indus trious and law abiding of every natioDj will meet with a cordial reception, and will find his rights of person and property as well, and often bettir, protected than they were in his nativej land.

There are some new mines pened at Comox, which is situated bout 50 miles to the northeast of lanaimo. These will no doubt, in Ime, have an output equal to that of Tieir older rivals. The north part iso is supposed to be very rich in Li), and a large quantity of land has p,tely been applied for by Victoria ipitalists in the vicinity. fThe other principal resources are Bhing, lumbering and mining. In be inland lakes, and in the indenta- i)us of the coast, there is a plentiful kpply of fish and a fair variety of Bme on shore. I The coast line, more particularly on le west side, is broken by numerous Blets of the sea, some of which run I) to the interior of the island for liiiiy miles between precipitous cliifs, licked by high and rugged moun- falling into the frozen Arctic ocean. The Columbia, also rising in the Rocky mountains, runs due north be- yond the 52nd degree of latitude, when it takes a sudden turn and runs due south, entering the United Spates in latitude 49 deg., when, after a course of nearly a thousaud miles further, through the State of Wash- ington, it falls into the Pacific in lati- tude 46 deg., 20 min. The Fraser river, comparatively the smallest, but in its relation to the Province by far the most important, flows entirely through British Columbia, ei' oring the Gulf of Georgia a few miles north of the boundary line of 49 deg. The other great streams of the interior are Thompson river, entering the Fraser from the east, and the Okanagan and Kootenay, the last two having very eccentric ooursea The Kootenay having its source in the same region as the Columbia, makes a long sweep % .1*1 F-« p^ CO ■" p I!!

Of the many unrivalled harbors in British Columbia the principal is that at Esquimalt, which has long been the rendezvous of the English squadron in the North Pacific.

THE CLIMATE. Ko general description will serve liurpose in speaking of the climate tween the parallels of 49 deg. and 50 , deg. that the great fruit-raising farms , of Canada will be located. Apples, ] pears, plumbs, peaches, apricots, nec- tarines, the finer class of grapes, ber- | ries of every description, fruits not common to the eastern coast, a profu- sion of flowers, and all the more deli- cate vegetables will grow luxurantly, as do all kinds of grasses and flowers of the temperate zones. Concerning Vancouver Island, it only remains to say in the important matter of climate its inhabitants hc- lieve and with some reason, that they enjoy peculiar advantages. Tliey have a mild and even winter, with rain. The annual rainfall is estimated at 45 inches and occasionally snow, early spring, a dry warm summer and a clear, bright and enjoyable autumn. Hometimes the frost is sufTiciently hard to permit of skating, but this is exceptional. As a rule flowers bloom [I & AiiHioiM'm ii) TROVIXilL C.ITTLE iM\RKET,Vicl(niii,B.C.
