An Act Relating to the Extermination
of Wild HoiKia,
The following hill iins been Intro*
ductal in tlie Provincial Legislature by
Mr. .'Vilnius, of Cariboo:
1. This Act may lie cited as the
" Wild Horses Extermination Act,
18115," nnd shall not come into force until one year from the passing of same,
2. This Act shall only apply to that
purl imt of British Columbia lying, uml
generally known as uml understood to
be, east of the Cascade range uf Mountains, in and fur the Districts nf tins-
siiir, Caribou, Lillooet, Yale, and
Kootenay,
II, It shall lie lawful, after the time
prescribed in clause 1 of this Act, to
kill any inibranded horse funning at
large in a wild state in tlie districts
aforesaid; and no person alleging to
lie the owner of any horse so killed
shall have any claim or action in law
against any person killing such animals whicli are luibrantleil or running
at large in n slate of wildness.
4. All such animals as are described
in section 3 of this Act may be shot, or
otherwise put expeditiously to death,
and any person sn killing nu animal according to the provisions of this Act
shall be entitled to the carcass of the
same, and may skin, carry away, or
otherwise dispose of itas he may think
fit: Provided, always, that nothing
under this Act shall be done to injure
the health ol the community, or that
shall constitute a nuisance,
This measure is one that deserves to
become law, as it is a measure that
should have been in force for some
years past. Those acquainted with
the districts that this is intended to
benefit can easily look buck and picture to themselves the luxiirlent hunch
grass covered hills that were once the
pride of the pioneer cattle men, hut
which to-day are stripped of their verdure, making them blend and barren
and unprofitable. In some Instances
overstocking liy cattle has been the
main cause of the change, and in others It may be directly attributed to Ihe
large hands of wild horses that have
been. allowed to roam at large uver
these public lands of the Province.
They are not only a curse iu that they
destroy the ranges, lhey work another
hardship upon settlers, by enticing valuable animals to join their bands, and
in this connection some provision
should he made, by an amendment, exempting parties from responsibility
who, unwittingly, and without any intention of doing so, should be unfortunate enough to destroy any of such
animals constituting for the time lining a member of said wild bands, and
yet at the same time being branded,
Seldom is it possible to come within
range of these wild horses close enough
to distinguish a branded from nn un-
liriiuded one, so that it would seem the
only alternative left to those who
would engage in their extermination is
to run chances of their lieing inibranded and consequently without owners.

OUE SORTING.
Tlie following article by, W. A. Bray,
mining engineer, is clipped froi.il the
Victor News:
Ore sorting In a large percentage of
mining operations is one uf the must
important departments of the work.
As the ore and the rock comes oul of
the mine it is dumped in the sorting
house for that purpose.
Each person has a heavy iron rusting, usually a worn stamp shoe, on
which he breaks the ore. The sorting
hammer is shaped something like a
hammer used by stonecutters, nnd is
iiinde especially for the wurk. The op
crnling of sorting consists of scpnriit
ing the ore which is rich enough to
pay from the waste, or low grade ore,
which is too poor to pay to ship to the
smelters ur reduction works for treatment.
Tlie guild ore is separated from the
waste by chipping olf pour put-lions of
tlie rocks from the good, or vice versa.
It leipiires a good deal of skill in
most cases to break tlie pieces of ore
ami rui'k in such u way thai they can
be easily separated without wasting
guod ore. Sorting is a trade It is
uinl ii dillicull according to Ihe character of the ore. Ill some cases it occurs
in such compact streaks Unit it is easily separated from the wusle, one inan
being able to sort several tons per day.
In these eases tlie ore after sorting will
be in pieces ranging in weight fnnn
two ur three ounces to soveral pounds.
In other cases the ore may be in thin
streaks iu a great deal of waste, and
requires great care in sorting. In
these, after Stirling, it will be in pieces
as large as a walnut. Iu some coses
one ore sorter can sort im much ore as
ten miners can break in the mine and
send to the surface; in other cases it
may requite a half-dozen snorters to
dispose of what one miner can break.
The question of sorting is tine that
ills a very Important llgure in the
profit and loss account uu many a
mine, It is quite evident that the expense of preparing the ure for llle
market will be u great deal inure per
ton in the mine where six sorters are
required for each miner, than where
it will if there is only one sorter
fui every ten miners, This is one of
the items in mining accounts whicli
tlie great majority of Olir eastern
friends pay very dearly for learning,
It is very seldom that a mine produces ore so free fruln waste ruck, and
iii such quantities that it can In*
broken or mined separate from the
waste, sn that it will uut he required to
lie sorted, .Mines of this character are
generally those carrying large bodies
nf low grade ores. Iticli ore generally
ncciirs In Stuilll quantities, scattered
through a great ileal uf giiugue.
Higlit bersjls suggested a needed reform iii giving a description of mines,
It is quite common fur the overreaching mining newspaper reporter or the
writer nf mining news, to write aboul
a foot-foot vein of ore which averages
$100 per ton, or any value he niny
place thereon, In the first place ho
does not mean what he says. What
he means Is the vein carries some ore
that will run a certain average per toll.
It makes a great deal of difference
and distinction which a great many
people do not make, and a few, more
or less, don't want to make, ll inquires n great deal nf experience In
both mining and sorting ure coupled
wilh great judgment, to look at a vein
and make a close estimate nf the number of tons of ore it will yield per cubic
yard, fathom or running foot,

A   DIVIDEND  OK  SNOOD,
A Property Thut Has Paid for llmir
nnd Development and Returned s
Huii'lHomu Profit.
A dividend of $8,000 has lieen declared
hy tbe directors of the Cariboo Mining
Company of Spokane, operating the
Cariboo gold mine at Camp McKinney,
British Columbia.
The property was acquired by its
present owners leas than two years
ago and active operations have been
conducted since April 1, 1894. Within
that time the machinery for mining
and the milling plant have lieen paid
for out of the prollls, as well as the expense for labor aud supplies, leaving
a surplus for continuing tlie work, in
addition to the dividend declared,
which was paid tu the stockholders
February 18. In round llgures the mine
has produced between $00,000 and $70,-
000 in the process of development during a period of ahout ten months. It.
has turned out, in bullion from $5,000
to $0,000 a month, with a force of 30
to 10 men.
The ledge is eight feet wide, with
pay mineral all the way across. It is
a white quartz, much of whicli is decomposed. Samples that indicate no
value to the naked eye yield handsomely, nnd the vein is free milling.
The ledge is constantly widening and
increasing in strength, at a deptli of
175 feet in the shaft.   A tunnel  taps
1 he ledge at 80 feet deep and with the
other improvements nnd developments
the property is iu a fair way to yield a
handsome reward for tbe enterprise
and energy of Its owners.
Tames Monughati is president and
manager, and among the other principal stockholders are 0, B, King, George
B. McAuley, William O'Brien, James
N. Glover and Jules L. Priekett.
The entire output of the Cariboo
comes to Spokane, in the form of bullion, and all supplies are procured here.
It is situated something over 100 milca
from Marcus, nnd is across the international boundary line, and was the
first ipinrtz properly developed in the
Hock creek districl. Mining men pro*
nuitncc it one of the greatest discoveries in the North-West.--Chronicle.

The following will give au idea of
what is meant when the terms puro
gold, good gold and low grade gold are
used: Twenty-four karat gold is nil
gold; twenty-two karat gold has
twenty-two parts of gold, one of silver and one of copper | eighteen karat
gold has eighteen parts of pure gold
and three parts each of copper und silver iu its Composition ; twelve karat
gold is half gold, the remainder being
Hindi' up of three and otie-hnlf parts of
silver and sight and one-half parts of
copper, The placer gnld of this ooun*
try averages from $15 to $18 per ounce
nnd lead gold seldom averages Ilium
than $17.50 per uiince.
The consumption of gold in the arts
and in dentistry throughout the world
is estimated at from $66,000,000 to $»!,-
000,000 a year. Fur thuse purpusi's
ahoul $22,01)0,000 worth of this metal
was used in the United Stales during
1802. It has been reckoned that within ten years this country will eniylny
the whole of its gold producl of $33,-
ooo.ixio annually for trinkets gilding
and teeth, the increase in that direction being nl Ihe rule of 101,000,000 per
nullum,—Ex, inn auvainuh.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28,1805,
THE WAGES BILL.
The Bill Introduced, and now before
the Legislature, by the member for
West Kootenay, Mr. Kellie, entitled
"An Act lu regulate the payment of
wages," is une having fur its object the
putting nn end to the practice prevalent in those parts of the Province contiguous tu (lie States, nf paying miners
and others in time checks, and
bills, ami checks on American
banks, by companies doing liusiness in
British Columbia and having llieir
headquarters and banking accounts ou
the other side of the line, lu the past
a guild ileal uf inconvenience has been
occasioned those receiving this paper,
nnd ut the same time a certain amount
uf loss, owing to the fuct that it has
been llie custuniary practice, in some
localities nt least, for merchants and
small capitalists to resort to the shaving system, whenever a needy wage
earner has been forced lo the necessity
uf speedily converting this paper into
cash.   Section 2 of the bill strikes at
I he root of the evil and reads as follows :
" No payment of wages (except goods
or merchandise, agreed upon between
the employe aiid employer) shall be
made or (ilfercd by any person for
labor performed within the Province of
British Columbia liy any cheque, order,
time check, I.O.U.. bill of exchange,
promissory note, ur other undertaking
ul her than gold or silver currency, or
bunk notes, or bills drawn upon or payable nt or within any place or locality
not within tlie Province of British Columbia."
If this measure becomeslalv.'nitd nu
doubt it. will, it will have the effect of
hampering capitalists in the free exercise of their business for the, time being, but will nut, we believe, work a
hardship upon'thein in the long run.
As far as this Province is concerned,
il will he to its benefit, as
foyelgn companies will he obliged to
patronize tlie banking and other institutions of the country, which is only
done to a certain extent, at the present,
time. There is one feature of the hill,
however, that should receive attention.
In the parts of tlie Province nhove referred to, the American greenback is
placed nn nn etpial fooling with the
currency of uur country, nnd, at the
option of the wage earner, the employer should be nHmved to make use
of the same. In all other respects the
bill is a good one,
 ny,——
JUMPED THE TRACK AGAIN,
'7he mail service has again jumped
the track, and, as a consequence,.our
lenders will not receive their papers on
the regulation day. The change was
one sought, nii'd'fightly so, hy the people of Grand Prairie, Kettle river, .so
that, they might lie allowed time to
answer correspondence by return mail,
which they were tiiinble before' to do,
The Inconvenience consequent to the
change is that no more mails will arrive from the north for the next ten
II n vs. Again, on the first of April,
ano her ch nge is intended, which will
reverse the service entirely, the start
to be made from Grand Forks on Tuesdays, instead of from Penticton, as at
present, For the month of March the
mail leaves Grand Forks on Mondnys
and returns Saturdays. In the meantime we lire floundering around, hoping against hope that some day, when
Inspector .Fletcher has passed to
warmer climes, order may possibly be
brought opt of chaos.

MINING, NQTEiS.
Colonel Doyle, a mining man from
Butte, Mont.; passed through Midway
one day 1astr«eek"bbund'forCamp
McKinney, where lie was the guest of
the Cariboo Co. lie returned by yes
terday's stage on his way out, taking
with him a number of fine saiirnpies of
ore.
The Spokafle Clirdnk-le says: Judging from the reports that are coming in
from the Slocan, .Trail creek, Boundary creek, aiid other mining camps,
Spokane's tritiu'Ury mining country is
getting ready Tor one of the liveliest
years it has ever known, even if the
silver hill did.gu to the calendar,
Messrs, Bartholomew and Meyers
have given up work on their claim, the
Master Mason, for the time being, und
are going Uf lake a jaunt as far as Spokane to interview parties there who
•are interested with them in the property. They expect, to return and renew their attack ou the lend with fresh
vigor in about three weeks.
Mr. Byron N. White, of the Slocan
country, is at. present, iu our midst,
having come in from Spokane in company with Mr. C, 0 Sands. Mr.
White is part owner and manager of
the Slocan Star in Kootenay, His
present visit is one of interest to the
Boundary creek mine owners, as
there are few better able to
form an opinion of our resources
as regards mineral wealth, and
to secure this gentleman's favorable judgment and good opinion
no pains should be spared by mine
owners and owners of prospects to
give an opportunity to this practical
man to examine, their properties, and
j »«.«••   .. »>-i» »>■>. ii ' i'""  llllil   Ul
what does really exist in mines and
minerals in the Boundary camps, In
conversation he expressed himself as
having never seen a country so favorable to prospect in, every requisite to
be found here in the shape of timber,
water, bunch grass, game and minerals, iu fact, a regular prospector's
paradise. On Tuesday he proceeded
to White's camp to take a look at the
City of Paris and Lincoln claims.
Dennis & Bradley to-day let the contract for the extension of tunnel No. 1
in the Old Dominion mine, near Colville to J. A. Clarke, the well known
contractor, The contract calls for an
extension of 1,600 feet, the work to be
commenced at once. Other extensive
improvements will he made in the
Old Dominion this summer, and a large
force of men will be put to work.—Ex.
Mr. J. Taylor has commenced sinking on the Oro (formerly the Wellington) in the Wellington camp. The
vein on this claim was struck in the
tunnel at a depth of 150 feet from the
surface, after going SO feet, and shows
up three nnd one-half feet between
walls, The ore is gold quartz, Mr,
Taylor is now sinking a shaft in the
tunnel. The last assay of tlie rock
gave three ounces in gold.
Mr. Bennerman recently located a
claim three miles east of Midway,
close to the boundary line, naming It
the Climax. Already considerable
work bus been done, un open cut of
thirty feet having been run in the side
hill on the vein, upon which a shaft
has been sunk some nine feet. The
ledge is live feet wide, carrying a little
native silver and some galena, and
bids fair to turn out a good prospect.
Messrs, Sullivan and Covert will run
a 59 foot tunnel on their claim, the
Spotted Horse, this summer, that is
if the bond which is upon the property
at the present time should not be taken
up. This claim, owing to the character of its ore and its location, will,
when smellers are established in the
country, lie of great importance, the
position of the lead making it one very
easily worked. It will at all times
commend itself to capitalist*.
Work will be resumed on the Keno
hy Mr. John Meyer as soon as the season nermits, with a view to making a
shipment (if ore during the summer,
The wagon road over Boundary mountain runs lhrough this claim, which
lies between tlie Skylark and Wellington camps, Though this is a new property it is a vety promising one.
Where work has been done so fur no
walls hove yet. been found, and the
shaft (15 feet deep) is in solid ore. The
intention is to sink fifty feet and crosscut lit that depth, Average assays of
the ore give $50 in silver and $10 in
gold.
The Silver Bluff mines, near Tonasket, Wash,, have been sold to an
Eastern company, who, according to
agreement, propose to expend some
$59,000 this summer in developing the
property. They have men at work
putting things into shape preparatory
to putting on a force of some 80 or 40
men. The sale of this property has
cheered the heart of many a miner,
who, for so long a time, has been waiting and watchipg for Ihe rift in the
cloud that has hung over the mining
interests of this section for some years
past, the mining interests of Okanagan
County, Wash., have not looked so
bright for many a day. None will begrudge the good fortune that has fallen to the lot of Messrs. Moore and
Cbilson, who, deserve the reward they
have so wtiently worked for.
Mr. Parke, a representative of eastern capitalists and owner of the Queen
Bee mine, Arizona, has just arrived in
Midway from Okanagan county,
Wash., where he hod heen to examine
some mining property. From the
Queen Bee was taken some of the
richest and choicest native silver specimens e.ver found in any mjjje in the
south-west, and some exhibited by this
gentleman , here would verify the
statement, as nothing so beautiful was
ever seen in this section before. Mr,
Parke is attracted by some of the pro
percies in Camp McKinney, which
means that in all likelihood the water
will be taken out of the Eureka and
Maple Leaf, both of which claims he
wishes to examine. It should be un
easy matter to place properties with
this gentleman, as it is understood he
is looking for free gold propositions
that will run on an averuge from $8
per tou upwards, and many such are
to he found in some of our camps.
The new railroad front Kaslo into
the Slocan hills will be built this year
So thinks N. J. Wilson of Three Forks,
a well known mine owner who has
been spending a few days In Spokane,
" The company has only a short time
to get to liusiness," said Mr. Wilson,
"and the charter is far too 'valuable to
be forfeited. The Kaslo Townsite coin*
pany of Vancouver is anxious to have
il. built, and so is President Corbin of
the S. F. k N. and President Hill of
the Great Northern! We have good
reasons for believing that work will
begin this spring." Mr. Wilson brings
news of a good sti ike on the Antelope
—four Inches of iintiiiioniul silver,
assaying ns high as 2,800 ounces to the
Ion. Another good strike bus been
made on the Yakima—not so high a
grade, but a twelve-foot vein of good
pay ore. The owners of the Idaho are
reported to have bought out the Cumberland Mining company, tlie terms
being $15,000 cash and $10,000 payable
in six monts.—Chronicle.

A Weird Performance In Wlil.li Orot-u-
Que Dancers Pay Tribute to the Mint
— Linllcruo.   Vestures  of   tlie    Cere-
01011*1.
Shortly after sundown the fete of San
Lorenzo was Inaugurated. It waa an
opening performance, as weird as a
witches- dance! with a fiend from the Inferno fiddling out the accompaniment,
says a llcriinlilln dispatch to the New York
Advertiser. Fagot Urea were lighted in
every sipiare of the narrow, dusty streets,
and sunn the town was all ablaze with the
yellow glare unit cast funtastic shadows
upon the walls of the little cubes of mud,
the abode houses of a sun-kissed clime. A
shot was fired, and there emerged from
one of the low buildings a string of as
peculiarly-garla'd men as one might see in
a year's travel through foreign countries.
They came tripping out In single
file, iiliuut twenty In number, swaying their lissome talics lu rhythm with
a two-string fiddle and a guitar
that was sadly out of tune, the while executing a dance that was never seen upon
any stage. Tlio costume was really a wonderful atriiir, ilm headdress lieing markedly
striking iu design and* finish. In shape
something like the French chnpenu, It
served llie dunlin- purpose of a mask and
headgear, extending to the mouth and
enveloping tin- greater part of the hood.
It wns gnjiy tinseled and tnsseled and
fairly shnneVitli'beads and ail the ornamentation which the Mexican fancy can
suggest. The lowor part of the face waa
concealed by a silk handkerchief of brilliant color, leaving a small aperture for
breathing purposes. Down the back Hunted
vari-colored streamers, and capes of rich
material drooped gracefully from the
shoulders. Iu une hand tlioy carried Hcrnll
work that looked like the substantial side
of a paper rack, and. with the other they
rattled tholr prettily decorated castanets
in tune with the monotonous movements
of the dance. Some of the dancers were
distinguished lu an original nnd startling
way, whicli, to the American onlooker,
lent ridicule to the whole Inane proceeding.
Over their velvet trousers were drawn abbreviated bftUoon pantalettes of the style
so iiflVcti'itby the comic paper cartoonists
ill their sketches ot the aunties of colored
society,
Around the flaming fagot (Ires they
formed iiiul amid a silence as profound us
a graveyard nt night they circled these
tributes in tin* saint, never changing the
step, but varying the movements of the
laxly nl, ciiiuiniuid of the lender. Sometimes they would bow and scrape to the
flames, and then fall to the earth and
squirm and wriggle like so many horrid
snakes II was a weird scene. The glow
from the tires dreadfully accent tinted the
painted faces of the Indians, who stood
stoically silent, with no manitestation of
approval nr displeasure. They formed a
lurid background ton decidedly dramatic
rereinniiy. Tlio senorsthemselves, mantled
in their scrapes, were an interesting part
of tliestagu grimp, and the gaunt and sallow faces of the son'orai seemed to reflect
the spirit uf superstition that swayed the
scene. The..dancers never appeared to
grow tired. It was "Oh, on with the
dunce" all the time, until a diversion was
created liy She sudden appearance

Of the three chemical agents destructive

Ilie IJIirlltnins Hobby llutrnu,
Among the diversions of the season in
the olden time was the hobby horse. It Is
said to have originated in Cornwall,
where, according to tradition, the NJiich
unce effected u landing at a small cove on
the const, but seeing at a distance a number of women dressed In their red Cornish
clonks they mistook them for soldiers, and
fleeing to their ships put to sen. The buys
and young men thereupon disported themselves by prancing around In Imitation of
a horse, witli |KiIes between their logs. In
Kent the festivities of Christmas commenced, with a curious procession called
lindrniiig of young people, who had with
thein Ihe stuffed head of it dead horse,
which tlioy fixed on a polo covered with »
horse cloth. One of them got under this
cloth and walked alxiut, pulling a string
attached to the lower jaw of the skeleton,
thus making a loud snapping noise, which
was accompanied by the others, who were
grotesquely attired, with hand lulls In
their bauds. They went frum house
to house and were given beer, cake or
money.

To questions put lo the British Columbia agent of Ihe mill by n Boundary creek miner, re the adaptability of
the snid mill for the extinction of gold
from ore and concentrates uonilng from
this district, the following answers
were given;
The mill Is splendidly adapted
to the or» yon mentioned to
me, 1 mean the low grade free
milling, and also the higher grade,
and I dn not question tor the refractory ore containing copper, for if the
Cyanide process can handle that, this
mill will do it with ease nnd n great
deal cheaper than the cyanide. You
also mentioned concentrates, which
would be advantageously treated on
the spot by the Crawford. With
water power bandy the ores nf your
districl need not he transported a yard,
and if you hate not tho waterpower
yon have lots ol wood, so that steam
power can be laslly Introduced, and
tho saving hy tli* use of tho Crawford
mill will qltlcltly enable a much larger
output In warrant tho erection of a

HI.HOOI,  Or*  .MINI'S.
The views of the Montana Mining
and Market Reporter on the question
of the establishment of a school of
mines may he gleaned from the following!
A number of western stales, including British Columbia, are calling for
state geologists and mining bureaus,
claiming that one or the other is a
very essential motor in the progress
and advancement of the mining industry. We cannot see it in that light.
The establishment of a school of mines
is all that is necessary to lill Ihis demand. We can see no reason why all
the work that would devolve upon a
elate geologist or mining bureau, cannot he better done by a state school of
mines. A hill is now in consideration
In the legislature nf this slate for the
establishment of astute school of mines
in Butte, and when that becomes a law
we will he satisfied in this respect, and
when the school is in operation let us
use it tu advantage and drop tlie ideas
of a geologist nnd a mining bureau,

THE PROSPECTOR.
At all times and in all ages iu the
world's history man hns been lauded
for his achievements. Personal bravery, allied with privations iu the successful accomplishment of perilous undertakings hns always lneta responsive
thrill from the henrtsof the people and
crowned the performer with the halo
of heroism. Never in the history of
mankind has there heen anyone more
deserving of such a halo than the prospector of the West. Alone hn goes
forth on the bleak and rugged liiuiin-
tnin, liis only champion the indomitable will and energy that buoys him
up. Over the wild and desolate and
rugged wastes he plods his weary way,
scanning every rock and seam and
ledge for the vein, the float, the good
Indication.
Often hungry, often cold, always
weary, butever with a brave heart and
dauntless courage he scales the almost
I naccessilile mountain sides, where perchance human foot never trod before,
always following the ignis fatuiis of
his dream. His bed the bare and desolate hillside, his covering the cold blue
UHPopy of heaven, he never despairs of
yet uncovering the fortune that may
lie only a few feet beneath his faithful
but tired feet, His only thuiight of
Itinliness Is when he thinks of the dear
ones al home, hut this is more than offset with the thought of the happiness
in store for them when he strikes it
rich, fnr that he should fail never enters his mind,
(f accident ur misfortune conies to
him he meets it bravely, resignedly.
If fortune conies to him he is less elated
on his own personal account than he
Is proud of the good he can do to his
loved ones, his less fortunate fellow
inoil and his country. He it is who
|WlkeB the trails over which the countless millions flow, Ho it is who opens
up iiiiii gives lo llie world tho inagnitl-
ccut treasures which lie hidden in llie
rock-ribbed mountain fastnesses of the
greul Wesl, He il is who opens Ihe
gules of the unknown und heretofore
Untrodden wilderness to civilization,
wealth and greatness,
In order Ui give to mankind these
great gifls he faces perils the most imminent, suffeiB privations Ihu most severe and if unsuccessful llunlly meets
death with a fortitude the most heroic,
There is more true manhood in the
composition of one such man than in
nil tlie purse proud, arrogant, overhear-
ing and insolent money grabbers in
this wide world,
Of such stuff are heroes made. The
soldier on a bloody Held of battle, under a momentary excitement, rushes
on to death amid the cheering plaudits
of his thousands of admiring coin*
lumiims,   The sailor goes down to.
ut the masthead, Ihe ship's band play-
ing his country's national airs nnd his
comrades cheering for their country
honor.
Not so with the prospector, when he
is called to face the inevitable end,
alone he sinks to rest on the bleak
mountain side, with none to cheer,
none to sootli his dying hours. Alone,
iinhliinched he faces the dread destroyer with a heaoism worthy of Hannibal, with a stoicism worthy of Plato.
Yet, when liis blenched bones are
afterwards discovered, liis only monument is a pile of loose stone, his only
epitaph: "Some unknown prospector
perished here." Finally, in the opinion
of all true-hearted, fair-minded men,
the prospector of the mountains embodies all that is true, all that is brave
all that is noble aud enduring, and is
and always has been the very itnper*
sonifit'iition of the best trails of American manhood.—Cripple Creek Journal

Working Capital Offered.
The Anglo-Canadian Gold Mining
Syndicate, who own 320 acres of rich
gold and platinum bearing lands on
Ihe Siinilkaineen river, adjoining the
well-known Anglo-American Co.'s properly, have received a favorable offer
from Chicago capitalists to provide all
money necessary to carry the water
on tn the gold bearing benches, purchase nil machinery and put the enterprise on a sound footing. This prnposi-
I Inn is now under consideration by *he
management, and it is expected that
the negotiations will be carried to a
successful termination. Several of
Westminster's most prominent citizens are interested in the Anglo-Can
ndian Co., nnd, if the development of
t he claims yield as rich as the prospects
indicate, they have a very valuable
property, second to none in tho Siniilkameen country.

Silver and Gold Using Nations.
There are at present In the world some
thirty-eight different nations, using
either gold («' silver or both as their
standard money of value. Of this
number some fifteen use gold only, to
settle their interchanges, and of which
total no less than six have fallen hack
to a currency basis, with the United
Slates likely soon to become the seventh. Of the silver standard nations,
some thirteen in number, only four
have fallen line!.; to the currency basis.
Of the 321,882,000 population using
gold only in their internal exchanges,
no less than 80,302,000, or one-fourth,
have tin effective monetary system. Of
the 800,837,000 population of silver
using nations only 108,837,000, or only
ahout one-fifth, have no effective monetary system.
 ►-♦•<	
Primitive methods of gold mining,
according to an exchange, arc reported
front Sinitolii, Mexico, where the
natives only work in dry weather,
sinking rude shafts from eight to sixteen feet in bedrock, and panning gold
in the crudest method, though making
from $2 to $5 per day, The merchants
lliere who buy the gold, which is mostly coarse gold, are reported to place
the precious metal in one side of a pair
of scales, while the othor is tilled with
grain or corn until balanced, A calculation is then made which Is very much
against the poor Indian—one grain of
corn is equal to one grain of gold. In
this way the merchants get the gold at
less than $0 per ounce, and payment is
made therefor in Mexican silver, which
is there quoted at thirty cents per
ounce.—Ex.
The Kansas City Smelting nnd Refining Company, of Argentine, Kan.,
and Leiinville, Colo., nftei a l.herough
investigation of the Northwest, country, have decided that Butte is the
most central point fur the establishment of their general offices and headquarters. For several weeks we have
noted the arrival and departure of a
number of these gentlemen who were
then looking into the matter, It is
said they have decided to build smelting works somewhere in the Kootenay
oi Kettle river districts.—Denver Min"
