THE GOLD-MINERS OF BRITISH COLUMBIA.

By William Mackay MacKeracher

They come not from the sunny, sunny south,

Nor from the Arctic region,

Nor from the east, the busy, busy east,

The where man's name is legion;

But they come from the west, the rugged, rugged west,

From the world's remotest edges;

And their pockets they are filled with the yellow, yellow gold

That they mined in the mountain ledges.
