Humphreys resigned this job in 1860, returning to mining until 1864. He then worked as an auctioneer and conveyancer, soon afterwards moving to Lillooet. Humphreys married Caroline \"Carrie\" Watkins in 1873.In 1868, he was elected to the Legislative Council of British Columbia for Lillooet. Humphreys supported union with Canada.
