Editor's Note: In the praseat James Block Mi. Frank Borland carried on business la tbe piesent Statesman Office, fils eider, brother Robert weat to tbe Cariboo Country in 1862 during the Gold Boom. He was la Vancouver City recoatly and The Daily Worid iaterviewad Mi. Borland aad pubished the story wbich we give herewith whicb we obtaiaed' from Mis. J. C. Rowe, Chuîch-st., sister of Robart Borland aow la ber 82ad year. "Bob" Borland is an optimist. Hea is conviaced that tbe Caîiboo wil again produce gold. fiera is what lie says: "Gold? 1 mind how Caîiboo Cameron came out with 800 pour.da in dust; and 107 pouads was wasbed out by one man la a day on tbe Diller dlaim at Williams Creek. There was lots of goid la that country then; lots takea out of it, and a good deal af it is left to-day if a man oaly kaows where to look for it". With the naines of Col. Bob Steven- son and Cariboo Cameron must be forevai chroaiclad that of "Bob" Bor-. land, miner, rancher, pioneer and trader, la the vivid hostox'y of the Cnriboo goid rush and the early days af what later became the f amous Cariboo Trail. It is more than fifty years siace the goid rush ended and the stages on the Cariboo Road have been long relegated to the scrap beap; the old pionears are gone, too, ail but a very few of them, "Bob" Borland is among the very last of the aid guard. Hie is la Vancouver at present on a few weaks' holiday trip. At eighty-tbîee yaars of age this old-tim er preserves a streagtb of frame and bodily vigor which n much youngeî man migbt well envy. fils spirit, too, 15 stili indomitabie. 1 "Going ta seil my ranch", he an- nounced on arrivai here. "What, and settie down la Victor- ia?" he was asked. "Victoria!" Utmost coatampt was- registered an his rugged countenance., "Settie down? I'm going to go pros- pecting again next spriag". Sa he is. Borland, like al aid timers af the Caîiboo country, bas a strong belief la certain minerai areas paîtly prospected during the boom days but neyer fully developed. Next spring he is going ta re-open ana af bis old prospect areas, a piece of grauad baif a mile la length, virgin unwoîked channel on a northern creek, from which lhe expects large returas, a" the grouad above and be- low it is very rich. Fifty Years Back Gaiag back fifty years or sa the firm of veith & Borland, genaral mer- chants aud ranchers, was the Most important la the country. The part- ners were kaown ta everyone. To a, great extent tbey wera instrumentai in developing the region about Wil- liams'Lake and Keithley Creek, as thay were always willing ta grubstake a man, ta bold out a heiping haad ta the hungry and penniless praspector. They toak achance on bis "striking it good" for repayment. Bob Borland and bis paitner owaed stores at Williams Lake, 150-Mile flouse and at Keithley Creek. They owned the famaus ranch at 150-Mile and aiso the Williams Lake ranch, subsaquently seliing out. Boriand's ranch, which he is accupying at pres- ant, at lKeithley Creek, is ana of the oideat places of crawn grant land la tha country. It is the centra of some af the finast moose hunting in the province. "Bob" Borland and bis partaer own- ed the famous mule pack that used ta carry go]d and prospectais' autfits la and out ta Lilooet la the early days. "Sevaaty mules", Bob raecolects, "and we have caîriad la a train a-si much as 22,500 pounds".. A Hard Trek "I've carried many a 1 00-pouad pack myseif, giub and blankats", he gantînued."

Names and incidents, experiences sad trite, grinm and humorous corne back to himi as quickly and clearly as though they might bave happened yesterday'. Hie was asked if he could remember aaything of the "bad men", the tales of Iwhose crimes andî misdemeanors tbrough those stormnyc days, are remembered by some to- day. "Well, I kept out of trouble, per- sonally", hie said slowly, "although I cail to mmnd one day la '78 when I was coming dowa into Baîkerville. 1 was carîying the mails. I had been carrying the mail quite a time thea. A f ellow cornes out of that bouse 'we called Half-Way flouse, out of Ques- nel, and 1 tbiaks by tbe look of hlm hie means business. Well, 1 bad $10,- 000 with me, but I tbink hie won't get that, as 1 was riding a boise that notbing ia the country could beat for action, and 1 knew if I touched bier with the spurs sbe would just jump in the air right over hlm. However, hie cornes out witb one band ail the time under tbe kind of cape they wore la tbose days, and talks a bit, and thon 1 moves on and looks back and sees hlmi standing there al la tbe road for a long time. "Coming into town I sees Sergt. Lindsay, wbo you may remember came out with old Colonel Moody, and a big man witb a big voice tbat nover gave a d- for nobody. I speak to himi about this man and they telegrapbed a description up for the sergeant to get hîm. So the ser- sergeant went out after hlm. Plenty of Thý.ills "0f course we had a lot of bad men la the country tbose days altbough I mind tbey were ail pretty scared of McLean, wbo was Hudson's Bay fact- or at Kamloops. McLeaa was under Governor Douglas, who was governor and prime ministor and nearly every- tbing else, and McLean was after everyone who dîd anytbing wrong. Hie bad some boys of bis own who were a bad lot, and two were hanged, but that's something different. "The Indiana thought McLeaa had a charmed lîfe and ýtbat nothing could touch hlm. As a matter of fact hie woîe a shirt of chain mail, but tbey thought hae was the devil himself. I mind how he chased out two men wbo rrobbed Clegg when bie was carrying out gold. Hie followad one ta Lii- looet and got him ln the town. The other got off down tbe Tbompson and tbougbt lhe couid swimi across, but was drowned. AIl this happened withiri a day after the robbery, which is good justice and a lot quicker that we get now. But McLean went up to sub- due the Chilcotin Indians, and, they did not know bis reputation, sa they shot hlm- first thing and killed hlm. I guess hie didn't take bis chain mail along that time", Murders were numarous occutren- ces, said Bob, usually for moaey. Lone Tree and Mission ]Road, Spec- tacle Creek and Murderers' Gulch are wall known in the annals of Cariboo Road crime history. At, the hast named spot, in the month of May, 1862, a Frenchmaa and two Jdwsl were coming down wlth about $50,- 000 la gold. "The Fienchman had $10,000", relates Bob. "Hie had been buying stuff£rom us. The Jews had about $20,000 a piece. Thay were ail three killad, nobody kaows. by whomn, anid'the gold must bave been buried there, because whoever was responsible for the killing could neyer have packed it out, but perhaps they could have moved it up a littie. it was said that they buried it by the river under, some big rocks and I know old Berry went looney trying ta fiad it. Hie neyer f ound it". Stage Rob.ries "it was by tbe place they called Spectacle Lakes", continued Bob. "Old Tait was drîving the stage acros s the" bridge. Hie was driving six horsas, got held up and reiieved of $2,000 la a leather bag. Thera was another $2,000 la a ranvas sack that they didn't ask for. Saine thing happened later with Billy Parker. Ail jthey asked for was the ion box where the gold was usually carrîed. There was nothing la it. "I could recollect lots more cases", hie continued.
