The Canadian Permanent Loan k Investment Co. The Dominion Building k Loan Association, 1 NOTARY PUBLIC, THE ESTIMATES. The estimates of revenue ahd expenditure for the ensuing fiscal year were presented to the Legislature hint week. The total revenue anticipated, apart friuu the lallaum of the $2,000,000 Inan which is expected to lie on hand ou th- 901 b of June next—viz, $ii00,000 l-is $1,1(13,780, while lhe proposed expenditure will lolul $1,872,078. The estimated Shortage next year is thus uvtir $200,000. AS examination of the estimates of revenue will show some interesting pa.'li.'iilai's willi regard lo what re* twQf. are expected from the new as- sesspieut act, The new mining lax, il will seem, is expected to yield $75,000. The incenses made by lhat hill are put down as worth, ou income, $22,000; personal property, $15,000, and real property, $10,000, and if these llgures are smaller than had been looked fur it must he remembered that whatever has hitherto been contributed liy mining property under these heads must now he deducted, since the new milling tux hus taken tlie place of the other assessments, Under the fuur heads named, the assessment, bill will provide $122,000 extra, Tlie greater mining activity looked for is expected to produce $10,000 additional for the free ininers' certificates, and to make Ihe general milling receipts $20,000 more than estimated fur the current year, while for licenses $15,000 is ei- pected. The timber royalties, though the arrears huve all been paid up, aie expected to give an additional $10,000. Against all these increases llie only conspicuous decrease is iu land sales, including arrears, the .lill'e.vnce iu the estimates for llie two years lieing $80,0110. The absence of any estimate of receipts arising out, of tlie proposed sale.if laud warrants would seem to Indicate Hull the much discussed bill authorizing such sale, still standing on lhe order paper, is not In be proceeded with.

The interest and sinking fund of Hie loan of lasl year explain the increase under thai heading. Civil Government salaries have been reduced all round, with the exception of Ihu Ministers and deputies, and Ihu lowest grade of officials, whose pay was already at the minimum figure (the aggregate saving being just ahum $10,000.)

Mr. Robert Stevenson, well kaown as llle principal figure ill the SttlV.il- sun Gold and Platinum Hydraulic Mining Company of Granite creek, in the Similkiimecu country, lias just re* turned in.in uu extended nip in the east, During hi- stuj iu Ihe east he completely reorganized, or rather nieiuuiui phoned, the Stevenson company iulu what is henceforth to be known as die Granite Creek Mining Oo. Ltd. This company lias been registered under the Dominion Joint Stock Company's Act, with a capital stuck of $150,000, a.. , dollar of which Mr, Slevensi.il and bis associate, Mr. VV. L. Hogg, have sue. ceded in having subscribed by eastern Canadian cap- ilalisls. The principal eastern shareholders are Sir Jiiui.'-, Grunt, Mr, Andrew Fleck, and Mn Hiram Robinson. Ottawa, and Mcssf.-. Pal.tie, Powell, Otiimel and Luiusdl.li, Montreal, Lasl year something like $21,000 was •prut ou the property which this Company has purchased, nnd enough progress wu., made iu development to in* sure an almost immediate commence, meilt of piping this spring, Mr. Stevenson states Hint Hie firs! monitor will be turned on in good pay grand by the 1st of May, and by the 2nd of July two more will l.e in operation. There is abundance of water and lhe head is ample. The gravel is well mixed with Baud, vet y free and easy to wurk, so thai lhe returns fur ihis year are exJ peeled to pay 50 per cent on the Investment, Tlie new machinery is now been taken in via Spente's Bridge, and when everything is in place a very capable plant will be established, The claim Is 2$ miles along Hie creek front, with a depth of nne liulf mile, and everywhere an abundance nf dumping ground. Mr. Hlevi uson calculates that thei els enough ground there to keep them busy for 60 years. Mr. Stevens..n has left for Ilm mine, nc- coiiipauie.l by Mr. Brunei, the Company's engineer. t- • -, INVESTMENTS FOR EMrtRE INVESTORS. Commenting ll|_in a recent speech of the Agenl-Oeneral of British Columbia, tin. Mancheiter Courier sayi in its editorial cnlninnt i—"The speech of the evening, however, wns made by Hie Agent-General for Ii.ilish Columbia, whose arguments In favor of the Investment of a larger proportion of British capital it, our own colonies met with very cordial agrerineut. They have certainly been strongly enforced nut only by the financial support of foreign Governments '■ '■' which British monej has built nil mads aud equipped armies, but by the i friendly attitude towards this counln if States whose resources have been developed mainly by English enterprise, It Is Impossible to deny the charge tliat our own Colonies have been neglected in the distribution of British capital. Even from the purely commercial point, of view it Is difficult to believe that the money we have sunk in Venezuela would not. have been more profitably spent in utilising the great forests of splendid" timber, the weallh uf salmon, and the* network of gold reefs which are com' prised within the spacious area of British Columbia. The Colony ban grown wonderfully during the paBt (en years, but lhe progress thus made is a* nothing .'.imparl'.! with what might be if Only Englishmen were more fully awake to the advantages offered by their own Colonies. Mr. Chamber-' Iain's administration of the Colonial Office may be trusted tb accomplish all thai lies within Ihe possibilities of ad* ministration, hul the scope uf these is Strictly limited, and lho whole hislory of colonial extension shows that the greatest and most successful factors of the latter are private enterprise and veluilary effort." i- • *i — MINING NOTES. A -titltlff ledge crossing the point between Ihe Columbia and Kettle rivers has been located by Walhesor,* Pfeifet and Brown. They have twelve claims in thai lucalily, which Ih about six miles frum liosstiurg, An Association nf Mining Engineers has been formed in Vancouver, witli Mr. R. 0.

The article has been much ridiculed by leading mineralogists, whs seemingly' think lhat Mr, Harvey compiled it after the dose perusal of a work on lbe subject, much admired by the ancient BriH.ns iu the time of CaractaCua, The Buie and Boston Company are* being handled rather roughly hy the Eastern press. It is alleged lhat Hu' criticisms are bolh unfair and unfounded, and are simply due to the refusal un the pert of lhe C"iii|.any In' pay Ihe Engineering and Mining Journal uf New Yoik a sum of $5,00(1, tu* send one of their mining engineers to' examine a certain properly owned by I he Company. The fourth of the series of lectures on mining which are being given by Mr. Carlyle'; llu. Provincial Mineralogist, is published in the last isslle of lbe Mining Record, The lecture is* full of interesting and instructive data, bul so long as these lectures are only listened tn, and do not, reach much beyond, aa audience composed mainly of Vancouver office-boys and clerks, naturally their utility must be very much limited, Why iu Hie name of common sense, should the Provincial Mineralogist reside hundreds of miles from where alone his experience and knowledge might prove practically valuable,• Under present circumstances Mr. Carlyle would have appeared just a* useful and very nearly as ornamental U) Ihe province, were he sliil iu quiet possession of lbe professorial chair in Montreal, A" well establish an Experimental Farm upun Ihe dump of the Hull mines ai Nelson, as appoint nu official mineralogist whose: duties do HOI lake him beyond the precincts of the coast, cities; —— ► •-. BOUNDARY COMPLICATIONS. The Okanognn Outlook, published af. Conconully, Washington, again brings forward the very much vexed qiltStlon of tho Hue locality of tbe international boundary line.

How the Agent-General in London will feel ai the pililess cul in Ihe remuneration lie recked last year of $5,000, opens up a wide field fnr speculative thought. With the greatCii'sar, the Huu.

Mr. Id, A, Hail is the Midway agent, On the Holli ult. the Columbia River Western railway bill received its lird readiig and wu dually passed. he read must be completed to Pen- cten within four years. A fine livery and teed stable will wn grace the town of Carson, as Mr. jseph Pedd is branching eut into usiasis, and has men employed upon ie coistructinn of the building, A Grand Concert and Ball, under ie auspices of the Twilight Comedy o„ will be held in Manlay's Gall, rand Forks, on Friday next, the 10th ,st. A charge tf 50 cts. for admission id 75 Cts, for reserved seats Is asked. It is claimed that not since the boom ! ays have so many people been seen iu sokane as are there at, the present I me, They are congregating from all iris ef the States, aud those leaving re making their way to the British | olumbia mining camps, and on to the | olville reservation. Mt, C, L.

I Graf, the proprietor, has had a large J upsrience in conducting hotels, and J with the suitable site he has chosen, I the enterprise should prove a financial I success, The I. T. U.-Internatioual Typographical Union—is an original name I for a mineral claim located last week I near Midway. If the I. T, U, proves I as beneficial to the locator as the association has to its numerous members I and wage-earners generally, it will be Inm* of the liesl mines in the districl. [This is saying a guod deal. McLaren Bros, are having a new addition huilt to their hotel, which when [completed will not only provide ac- Jcoinuiodation, but will onhance the ap- Ipearance of their premises, and will be ■ quite an ornament to the town. Tbe I new building is of a size. 28x32, and I will be two storeys, and is made ner.es* Isary owing to the great increase of I '.ravel at that point. |M What might have heen a serious ac* Icident occurred lo Mr. W. B, Rickards ■last week, While engaged in handing lia beard te Mr, Melville, whom he was lasalating in the erection of the new ■townsite building, preparatory to 'milting <iu the sheeting, his foot slipped land he was precipitated with great |\.olence to the ground, breaking a |2 by Oscantling in the descent. Much Tiympatliy was expressed for tbe suf* Jferer, who, hewover, was playing foot* |uall oa Thursday evening. Greenwood City and Anaconda are meniiiig. New buildings are being built daily In both places and are com- Ipletcd In an Incredibly short space of (time. New comers arrive every week, _nd several families are camping near (the towns in tents waiting their turn ■to obtain lumber from the mill in order Tto build, The 'mill, thougli working [to its full capnclty, cannot al all keep [pace with the demand, The energetic ■anil enterprising efforts of the proprietors of the two townsli.es are deserving [of all praise, and might, with profit l.e ■emulated by their rivals of older established towns. The United States government can Iglve pointers to the Canadian postal [authorities as only a few weeks have ■ elapsed since the opening of the Col* I ville reservation, and already its ci' i- fzens are to be provided wilh good mail I facilities, and a post-office will bo open* I ed within the next few days at Fourth j of July creek, which will be known by ' the name of Nelson, and two mails a i week will be carried between there nnd Marcus, It would have taken the authorities on this side of the line five years te think over the matter before granting such a concession, Mr. R. Parraiij formerly of Rossland, is building a new hotel at Grand Forks, Grand Forks now possesses a physician of its own. Dr. W. E. Kay having recently located there, Mr. E. Driscoll of Vernon, passed through here en Friday on his way to Carson, where he intends opening up a business. The Dominion Government have decided to call for tenders for a trl-week- ly mail service between Penticton and Grand Forks. Mr. Harbor, late of the Vernon News, passed through this district last week, and will return to Vernon via Ross* land, Trail and Revelstoke. Now that lunibel* cm be procured a lot of new buildings will lie put up at Carson, and soon the new town will present quite a different appearance. Messrs. O. B. nnd P. B. Nelson are having a telephone line built between their two places of business at Fourth of July creek, Wash., and Carson, B.0. A concert in aid of a church fund, will be given at Greenwood City on the evening of the 13th inst, at the Pioneer Hotel, Assistance will he rendered by local talent. An artistic finish is being given to many buildings in this district since the coming of Messrs, Jones & Rogers, painters, who are plying their trade all along the line between Grand Forksand Midway, Mr. Leonard Vaughan is speedily recovering from his accident. About a week ago Mr. Vaughan was kicked by a horse in the face, and strange to say although the blow fractured a portion of the upper jaw containg four teeth, not a scratch was visible on the outside of the face. A splendid addition will 60on be added to Mr. L. A. Manley's hotel at Grand Forks, and the material is now upon the ground. Work will commence at once. The new building will be 48x80 feet, two storeys, with a solid stone foundation. When the building is finished, Mr. Manley will have one of the most commodious hotel in the district. If some of lhe high officiate of the C.P.R, could witness Ihe amount of freight that is being bandied by the S. k N. R. R„ and distributed among the Boundary creek mining camps, they would turn green with envy, and commission a man without leggings to place another consignment of giant powder on their magnificent steamer nnd pay hlni a little extra to touch it off, A judicial decision of much interest and Importance wus delivered in Mid. way by the Government representee lust week. In the course of an argument between two individuals, one gentleman informed the other that he was a borrower of halters, My dear sir, was the mild retort, you are certainly fabricating tn an absurd and perilous degree. This was followed by an exhibition of sparring, not under Qiieensbury rules. The matter was finally referred to the constable, the gentleman who had been accused of hoise-sedu-lion, wanting to institute proceedings against his accuser tor using libellous language. But he was informed that he could not do so, as to accuse a man of horse-stealing was not an indictable offence, He left the Government office, and went several yards, then with deep-sounding prefixes, he called Heaven le witness that Ihe constable was a horse-thief, and son of a horse-thief; but not very loudly, for the constable Is a powerful man, K«~- MINING NOTES. Mr, Brophy in now at Fairview expelling property, Mr. J. Sholleld will begin the assessment work on the Crown Silver and Sunset this week, The diamond drill which the M. k B, C, P, and P, company Is bringing in is to he used first, it is understood, on the Snowshoe. Mr. F. Oliver of Spukane, tlin promoter of the Josie Co, is in lhe district j at present, and il is understood the company will put nine or leu men to work at once ou thi. Morrison claim in Deadwood camp, which they recenlly acquired anil stocked. Rapid headway is being made In tin. development of the Lake View and Norlh Star properties ia Long Luke camp. So far a 60-foot tunnel lias been run into the Luke View. Tin. leoge Is widening and the ore looks richer. It is reported that Mr. Chrlstio has struck a fine body of ore in the Nightingale claim, Skylark camp. It is to be hoped that it will turn out as well as expected, as everyone would lie glad to hear of good furl une coming lo Mr. Christie, US the manner in which he has worked since entiling to the camp has excited tbe admiration of all who know him. The proprietors of the Stemwinder at Fairview were agreeably surprised lately to strike a pay streak in the claim In a spot, where it was least expected. They had come, while cross- cutting, to what they supposed was the hanging wall. This, however, was penetrated, when quartz carrying a much higher 'percentage of gold than in the original vein wns exposed. The pny streak if three feet, wide. The owners are carrying on development work on tbe Keystone claim, Wellington camp, Mr. Rimberger, who is part owner, is in charge of the work. Mr. J. Meyer has just pitched his tent at Wellington camp, aad will with other men, start to Work at once on the Double Eagle claim, locate-! by him last summer. The report of a wonderfully rich find .m Kruger mountain reached Midway this week, A claim, which hasseveral times been staked, and was in fact owned by Mr. Kruger and named the Snow Storm, was located by a prospector named Bowen recently. This property appears to have suddenly developed into a free gold proposition of exceptional value, Large nuggets have been taken out of the rock. Great excitement now prevails in the lo- LiM^l cality, several adjacent claims having heen already staked, A rush will probably follow. f^Faney floods-^j GLASSWARE and CROCKERY Stationery, School Supplies AND TOYS, Playing Cards and Barnes.

The flabby, one-lunged Reubens who represent the Gem Oily in the rush for the baseball pennant had their shins toas'ed by the hasilisked-i.yed cattle- drivers from the West, They stood around with gaping eye-balls like a hen on a hot nnil, suffering Ihe grizzly ynps from Omaha to run the buses until Iheir necks were long wilh thirst.

The outcrop of the vein has been traced about 700 feet, on the Josie ground and at one point has lieen stripped for IK) feet, the average width being S to 10 feet.

I must admit that this is a greal surpiise to uio as they are only about 100 feet underground, aud I never could obtain an assay much ahove a trace on Ibe surface.
