At the opposite end of the journal are four separately and neatly tallied expenditures. Journal entries date between 21 February 1898 and 19 March 1902 and document a voyage from Liverpool to Quebec on the steamship Tainui and ensuing cross-country journey. He describes some of Canada's now bustling towns in their early stages of growth, and highly coveted natural resources of the Pacific Northwest. On 2 April 1900, Captain Bley began his journey home, as stated in the journal, by train to Denver, Chicago and New York, from where on the 7th of April he boards the S.S. Lucania sailing to Liverpool. The accompanying papers indicate a continued career in navigation and engineering, as well as involvement in gold mining in South Africa. Pacific Northwest Journey - 20 pages (10 August 1899 - 11 September 1899) Cash in hand - Trip to Oregon August 1899' is Bley's heading as he begins recording his journey to Calgary, Banff, Portland, and his involvement in the gold mines of Oregon. 10 August 1899 - \"At 5 PM. started in Albion Line steamer 'Tainui' Captn. Dunlop. Mr. Boyd\". 27 August 1899 - \"travelling across the prairies, farms \u0026 homestead all along the line [...] had a pleasant time chatting with the passengers among them a deputation of 3 gentlemen sent by the government of Finland to explore the country object to send out a large number of settlers from home.\" Early mention, only ten years from its opening, of the C.P.R. Hotel, now called the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, and a description of the majestic mountain views in the Bow Valley and the nearby sulphur caves. 28 August 1899 - \" 9:40 [AM] Arrived at Calgary, a well settled place with good strong buildings about 4000 inhabitants, looks a busy spot....\" - \" 1 PM Arrived at Banff standing in a lovely valley among hills to 9000 ft high...to C.P.R. Hotel standing a grand plateau about 150 ft above the station, having a magnificent view all around...strong sulphur smell...\" On the 1st of September 1899 Bley visits Lake Louise, and on the 3rd he scales Hector Glacier in Banff National Park, which was first climbed only four years prior, then mentions a late arrival at the CPR Glacier House. On the 6th he mentions Revelstoke and the Columbia River, from where he departs the following day for Seattle by steamer, observing the view of Mount Baker. \" 8 September 1899 - \"Arrived at Portland hotel...some good hints \u0026 information...at the Surveyor General's Office that the application for securing patent had never been made by T. K. Muir....Started for Baker City at 8 PM\". 10 September 1899 - \"In company with Dr Selwyn \u0026 Vinson started for Granite \u0026 the L.G. [Little Giant] mine.

Mining Involvement - Washington and Oregon - 53 pages (17 February 1900 - 4 April 1900): Thirty-six pages deal solely with the mining industry, specifically Oregon's Little Giant mine in Jackson county and the Magnolia mine in Washington. A frenzied and impassioned record of seeking evidence and revealing corruption, having discussions with prospectors, mercenaries and tycoons, examining financial options and implications, finally making a decisive move. Replete with financial figures, Bley writes while travelling between Portland, Baker City, Sumpter and the mines. At opposite side of the journal are nine pages of itemized expenses for Bley's activities in Oregon, titled 'Cash a/c trip to Baker City' and 'Expenditure trip to Sumpter \u0026 back', and two pages which appear to give transcripts of cables between Bley and the English company for which he seems to have been working as agent in the gold mines affair. Six additional pages of entries relate to the financial aspects of Bley's mining escapades, headed 'Little Giant Mine workings', 'Magnolia position March 1900' ($39,200 debt), 'Little Giant M Co Meeting'. The latter are interspersed within a thirteen page account of a voyage on the S.S. Ardeola, headed 'Trip to the Canaries 1902'. Journal further contains an assessment, three pages beginning with, \"Survey Report Ship Thomasina Maclellan, Captn Joseph W. Sim. Ship having grounded in \"Frazer\" River Oregon U.S.A. as per log books, on the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th October 1897...\" Followed by two-page list of supplies, and a single page at opposite end of the book tallying 'Cash expenses attending Thomas McLellan.'","The following information was provided by the seller: \"Reference letters are from significant shipbuilders, steam navigation companies, and gold mining enterprises.

Mining Involvement - Washington and Oregon - 53 pages (17 February 1900 - 4 April 1900): Thirty-six pages deal solely with the mining industry, specifically Oregon's Little Giant mine in Jackson county and the Magnolia mine in Washington. A frenzied and impassioned record of seeking evidence and revealing corruption, having discussions with prospectors, mercenaries and tycoons, examining financial options and implications, finally making a decisive move. Replete with financial figures, Bley writes while travelling between Portland, Baker City, Sumpter and the mines. At opposite side of the journal are nine pages of itemized expenses for Bley's activities in Oregon, titled 'Cash a/c trip to Baker City' and 'Expenditure trip to Sumpter \u0026amp; back', and two pages which appear to give transcripts of cables between Bley and the English company for which he seems to have been working as agent in the gold mines affair. Six additional pages of entries relate to the financial aspects of Bley's mining escapades, headed 'Little Giant Mine workings', 'Magnolia position March 1900' ($39,200 debt), 'Little Giant M Co Meeting'. The latter are interspersed within a thirteen page account of a voyage on the S.S. Ardeola, headed 'Trip to the Canaries 1902'.
