GeO. YOUNG'S BVIDENCE. My name is George Young ; reside in Winnipeg ; am & minister ; resided in Win- mipeg in "69 '70; ia 1870 & visited F professionally : wade soli" latter part of "69 ; made ethers in Junnary February and March, 1870; I had ecca- sion to 'visit certain prisoners confined in Fort Garry ; some of them were taken prisoners in Dr. Schultz's building, in De- cember, "69 by Riel : others were taken on the 17th February, on the prairie near the town ; after February I was in the habit of visiting prisoners named Sergeant Powers, Parker, McLeod, Thomas Scott and others, a larg. number -- thirty or furty I visited them generally Sabbath mern- ine and during the week when I was per- mitted to do 20 ; I was obliged to obtain PERMISSION FROM RIEL ; at first I lad to see him personally ; Riel was evidently in command of a farce holding Fort Garry at that time and keeping these parties in prisin ; he had what he called a council of war from his own statement, he also spoke te me of his officers--Adjutunt-General sud Cap- tains ; oa the evening of the 3rd March, 1 met a messenger, one ef the guards, usmed Turner, who informed me that 1 was required at the Fort ; asked him who required me and for what ; he, replied: that Riel had sent for me to visit a pri- soner condemned to be shot next day at 12 o'clock ; I mccompanied hin to the Fort ; I attempted to see Riel at once, but was informed that he was wot in; I I went at once to sce Scott, who was the prisoner in question ; he was alone at the time ; guards at the door, just out- side ; when I had seen Scott a few days before he was HANDCUFFED AND SHACKLED ; this time he was net ; he informed me that he had had what wascalled p trial, as it was cond ucted;in a langauge he did not understand ; tha! Riel told him that it did not matter, as he was a bad man and must die; I was with Scott be- tween two and three hours that evening; the question in his mind seemed to be whether they would dare to shoot him ; he thought they were bad enough to do 20 ; he had made his arrangements in o view of the probable carcying out of the sentences ; early next morning 1 went te see the late Mr. Ross, who was then known as Chief Justice in connection with the Riel adminisiration, for the purpose of pleading with him in the.interest of Seott; but he was not at home 3 I then called on Mr. Bannatyne and spprised him eof what had taken place ; ke had not heard of it, and did not credit it ;. he theught it was an attcuapt to frighten ; I then cal- led on McKenny, who was sheriff, who told me he had not heard of it, mor did he believe it would be done; Isaw Mr. Robt. Tait at the same time, with the same result ; I then came to the Fort, and after seeing the prisover fcr a fow minutes, I called on the Hon. Donald A. Smith, then commissioner for the Domin- ion Government, snd informed him of what had taken place, and asked his as- sistance in appealing te Riel: he had not heard of it ; seemed very much dis- tressed st the information, and assured me he would use his influence to prevent the execution ; at the same time he ad. vised me to go first, thinking that I would succeed without any trouble ; and in case of a failure notify him, and he would pro- ceed immediately ; at that moment. PERE LESTANG, A ROMAS CATHOLIC PRIEST, who was said te be acting in absence of the Bishop, came in, to whom I at unce appealed in regard to this matter, he said he had heard it already and would inter- cede, I then went to sce Riel, asked him if this mav had been rentenced to be shot and if it was their intention to carry the sentence into effect ; he seid he was sen_ tenced, and it was their intention to ex. ecute him ; asked him if The prisoner had been plotting mischief against him or seeking to take his life ; 'he said no: he said he must impress the Canada Govern- ment and the Canadians here with the fact that We was in earnest, that he had selected Scott because he was the worst ene ; I asked Riel to spare Scott's life, and said it was a fearful thing to send a man so suddenly iute another world ; I said that the prisoner had very little time to prepare for death, aud could scarcely realize that he was te die; Riel reemed quite vexed that the prisoner did mot credit him with being in earnest ; Fe said G0 AND TELL HIM HE MU'T DIE WITHIN 9 TWo HOURS." He urged me to take a cross and hold it up before him, that that would impress more thau anything I could say; I told him we did not nse the cross that way, but that we had no time for argument. I then urged that the execution be pust- poned for twenty four hours, ho said he would call in the Adjntant-General and the proposition would be submitted to him. He further said that the prisonerf had been sentenced by the decision o the Council, who with one exception had decided that Scott must dis, but that he would submit it to the Adjutant-General who I understood him to say was the pre- siding officer of the Council. He called the Adjutant-Geperal into the room. The Adjutant-General is here prezent. LEPINE 13 THE MAN, Lepine came iu; tovk a scat and enter- said that my réquest was refused ; ous, when the guard 'entered the deer, Scott seswed very much startled, he said, vom, This fm BLOCDEDNUEPRE Iyer I urged him #0 abstain from any such re- marks, and give his attestion to some- thing eise ; one of them proceeded to tie his arms , snother put a piece of cot- ton around his head to blind his eyes; I asked them to retire a few moments from the room ; aud during this absence Scott and I had prayer together ; I thea heard the voice of Riel calling loud and angrily to the guard, and urging them to proeeed at once ; I told him 1t was my fault ; Scott asked permission to bid the boys geod-bye, which was granted, and I went with him to the different doors, and as they came to the door, he spoke to them in a low tone, saying, "GooD-BYE, BOYS ;" Riel was present ; saw also the late Mr. Goulet, and another ealled Nault; there were others beside the guard ; - I might have known thew if I had looked at them, but I was pre.occupied ; we then proceed- ed ; I assisted Scott down stairs, and he and I walked together ; we passed out at the gate, where we saw quite a number of perfons waiting, and were directed by the offiéera to halt at a place seme, two rods from the gate, in the sleigh track near the wall of the Fort. I then requested a fow minutes with the prisoner for prayer, at the close of which he bade me goed -bye, and asked me to, place the cloth closely about his eyes before I left him; he asked me if he should stand or remain on his"knees ; I advised him to remain kneeling. Just then they dis- covered that there was a house in range, and they romoved hia 30 or 40 feet from the track to WHERE THE sNOW WAS QUITE DEEP, where he again knelt down ; as this was being done, I saw 0'Donohus standing near by, and urged him te use his influene to prevent the execution, and hid him I knew he had influence to previ it ; he said it had gone very far, and admitted that it was a terrible thing, but did noth- ing too prevent it. 1 also urged the late Mr, th execution should be post for twen- ty-four heurs ; he wished to kuow why ; I stated the time for preparation was very short ; he replied that the time had come that he must die ; while I was re- monstrating with O'Donohoe the firing party had moved up in front of the prison- er; afew moments I heard THE REPURT OF THE GUNS I had turned my face away at the instant, I returned near the bedy ; the body was lying upon ene side of the face ; the coat was pierced in three places through the shoulders, as if from front to reas, Scott did not speak, there was a twitching of the right shoulder, I did not at that moment see blocd, but did afterwards ; somebody said, "ror she OUT OF HIS MISERY," and one of the firing party took a revolver from the pocket of another of the firing party, and placing it just by Scott's hesd fired; 1 recollect meeting Mr. Devlin's second son guing in at the gate ; he must have seen the execution also, two large men from across the river, named Emilien John McTavish informed me that he had w d the tiom, I understood that Mr. James And also wit d is ; after the shooting, Riel came out near the body and ordered the firing party togo into the fort, did met notice Lepine, in fact noticed very few unless I came face toface with them, after Riel had called in the firing party. 1 ASKED RIM PCR THE BODY that I might inter it ; he at first said I could have it, but afterwards seemed to withdraw the promise ; I then went into the fort and into Governor McTavishs residence, and reported all to Commis- sioner Smith ; 1 do not know of any other but Mr. Smith had inférceded with Riel before this; II wes not present when he interceded ; it' was understood that Mr. Smith was representing 'the Dominion Government here; when I returned from Mr. Smith the body was iu a long, narrow box, Goulet said to me, ** if you are going to bury this body you had better get a horse and sleigh and take it at once ;" 1 said I would go at ones ; IT WAS AFTERWARDS REFUSED ; 1 saw no more ef the body ; 1 was told in the evening that if the Bisnop of Ru- pert's Land and myself would come in the morning-and guarantee that the 'burial would take place quietly, I could have it ; saw the Bishop that evening, and we came up next morning to Ricl and asked for the body, assuring him that the burial would be quiet ; he said he was sorry to disappoint us, but that the Adjutant.

The property having been secured, a still more search- ing investigation took place, aad it was revedled that the depqpit was ninety yards wide and between 300 aud 400 yards long, being exposed at intervals over that and is abeut one hundred feet above the level of Burnt River, from which it is dis- tant only a ouarter of.a mile.

Prof. Croft's analysis shows that the deposit containe §S4§ per cent. of mgnetic iron ore, which would yield on smelting 61 per eat. of fine metalic iron. This is an extraordinary yield, and ren- ders the mine one of great value, espe- cially as the ore is free from all objection- able substances.
