INSKIP and TAIT, who have resided in British Columbia for some years, are well known as keen and successful hunters over an area comprising many hundreds of square miles in this province, consequently they are well acquainted with the Roads, Trails, Rivers, Lakes, and Hunting Grounds west of the Rocky Mountains, and having now completed all necessary arrangements, are prepared to escort gentlemen to the best and least frequented parts of the country, where grand sport may be obtained. The Big Game consists of Black, Brown, and Grizzly Bear ; Panther are occasion- ally met with : Moose ari plentiful in the northern interior; Big-horn, Mountain (ioat. Wapiti, Caribou, and various kinds of Deer. The Small Game comprises Wolf, Coyote, Lynx, Wolverine, Fo.\, Beaver, Otter, Porcupine, Hares, etc. The WlXclED Game includes several varieties of Grouse, Prairie Chicken, Quail, etc. Wild Fowl: Swans, Geese, Ducks, Teal, Heron, Plover, Snipe, which at certain seasons of the year frequent the Rivers, Lukes, and Marshes in countless thousands. Fisiii\(i. — Salmon and Trout are to be found in nearly all the Inlets, Rivers, and Lakes, the larger .species of Trout running to .jolbs. and upwards in weight. The Char fishing in some parts is superb, the fish attaining an enormous size, whilst the Ouananiche or Land-locked Salmon is the gamest fighting fish in the world. The Climate is extremely bracing and healthy; ague and malarial fevers are absolutely unknown. The summers are warm and dry, the rainfall in the interior averaging only five to twelve inches according to locality for the entire year. The snowfall is very light, but increases with the altitude, seldom falling in the lower valleys until the middle of December. Severe weather does not usually commence until January, but even when the thermometer falls to zero, or possibly something below, the cold, owing to the general absence of all wind and the extreme dryness of the atmosphere, is by no means unpleasant, whilst on most days there is brilliant sunshine with a beautiful blue sky. ?'i^3^ I I HVi p INDIAN'S. — Thorough knowledge of their language 'spoken fluently', manners, Vabits, and customs. The various tribes that may be met with are peaceful and well disposed.

Terms for above (three gentlemen), £2 los. each per diem, but no trip can be arranged for less than one week's duration.
