Within a comparatively recent date, various reports of rich mines having been discovered in a portion of British America, situated some six hundred miles north of Victoria (V. I.,) reache 1 California. These reports excited the cupidity and spirit of adventure of no small portion of our citizens, a few of whom started at once for the field of operations—to try their fortunes in what was then, and even still is, almost a primitive wilder- ness. The writer of the following narrative was one of the above class. He left San Francisco on the 26th of March, 18(51, for Cariboo, and arrived there on the 15th May, thus consuming forty-nine days on the journey. He went up by what is known as the " Brigade Route," and returned by the " River (the Frazer) Route." Of what befel him on his way up to the mines — especially the foot-travel — his experience when there, and of his return journey, some idea may be formed by a perusal of the following pages. In addition, he gives distances, means of transit, inci- dental expenses, and the names of towns and camping-places — where the latter had any.
