No. 104

I have the honor to forward the monthly reports of the
Magistrates in charge of the several Districts of the Colony.
The great distance of the Kootenay from Head Quarters and the
uncertainty of communication deprive me of the opportunity of
reporting to Your Grace from that quarter with any degree of
certainty. I hear however no complaints and am highly satisfied
with the chief constable whom I have left in charge.

2. I think that Your Grace will be of opinion that the
intelligence furnished by Mr O'Reilly, from Yale, and from
Lillooet by Mr Sanders is highly satisfactory. It really
seems as if British Columbia is to become a settled Colony at
last instead of a mere gold field with an unattached population.

3. I add a Report respecting the agricultural resources of the
Colony furnished me by Mr Cornwall, one of our most
enterprising settlers.
