BRITISH COLUMBIA.
The Times publishes an official report of the assistant gold commisioner of the Cariboo district, dated July !M. He anticipated that in a month's time £20,000 per day would be obtained from William's Creek. The prospects of the gold fields generally could hardly be better; old miners believe they will surpass Australia and California. T*he high price of provisions was not only crippling every man at the mines, but forcing very many to return. Few would on this account be able to pass this winter in Cariboo.
