The llrilisii government has hnd
unusual trouble in lilting lite vacancy
nflhe vlceroyalty of Canada, Numerous candidates for succession have been
mentioned, hut no appointments have
been mnde,
The guud relations now existing between Great Britain unil America
make it Important Unit the new governor-general of Canada should he an
official of unique reputation, so as to
Impress ihe whole English-speaking
nice in America, The nppninlnient
has not been officially announced, but
It is generally believed at the war
ulliee Ibnl Lord Wolseley is the man
who has been selected fur Ibis ini-
purl nnl pusl.
Nothing has yet appeared in print
ulioiit It, bul II tuny bu stated in llle
utmost confidence thnt overtures have
been Hindi'to biin. The ctown is not
in the habit, of offering appointments
to high places until the willingness of
those proposed for preferment to accept
the honors is ascertained, There is
adequate reason tn believe lhat Lord
Wolseley has been approached and
uskeil wbelher be will accept the post
uf Governor-General of Canada, mid
ilmi he Is now considering the cxpedi-
ney of accepting it.
Lord Wolseley nnw occupies the of-
Ilea uf eouiiniiiiilei-ln-i'liief iif the army,

on each side nf the border, At the
snine time it would create a vacancy
in tin' office (nf commander-in-chief,

Lord Wolseley is at once a soldier
uml u diplomatist, equal lo any work
wliieli he mny be culled upon In perform ; hut Lord Roberts is a soldier
only, and i very ambitions one,
Lord Wolseley is nnw III Ilis 00th

As soon as nomination day is over,

of June and the Dili day of July unly u
few days Intervene, therefore it may
not be possible fur Ur. Martin to he
come personally acquainted wilh each

The Island is hrisl ling with Spanish

Thul. fact bus lieen bruughtuttt sharply

A Portable Assay Furnace.
The following letter from San Diego,
Cal„ was published In a recent issue of
the New York Engineering uud Mining
Journals-
Permit ine to describe a portable assaying kit in whicli I lake n great deal
of comfort nnd which mny lie of service to others. A painter's gasuline
torch supplies the required bent, The
furnace is a circular iron cnn, lined
with a lire-clay—asbestos—charcoal
mixture, capable nf containing four
small crucibles. Tiie charge Jills the
crucibles, hut careful watching prevents boiling over. Recesses for a
small muffle are provided|lti thefurnace.
After the melts are poured the inutile
is placed in the furnace and heats very
quickly, After 'parting, the gold is
taken up in a boracic acid bead, in
which it melts together Into a practically perfect sphere. Using a microscope with cross-hairs and sliding stage,
the diameter of the prills of gold is
obtained, and frnni that the weight is
calculated, The accuracy depends upnu the power of tbe microscope, On
ores containing values up to $15 I tl
leet, differences nf 10 cents. As the
value nf the ore increases, the accuracy
decreases. Such an arrangement of
apparatus cnn lie very light nnd be
packed in a very small case. The
material is not nearly so expensive as
the smallest outtit ou the market. The
idea was obtained frum Mitchell "On
Assaying.
International Mining Congress.
A press despatch from Salt Lake City.
Utah, says '.—Ncnrly a thousand delegates have lieen appointed to utlend
the International Mining Congress
which meets in Ihis city on July 8th,
7th, 8t.lt and llth, This does not include
the delegations at large front Colorado,
Wyoming, California and seven other
states which have indicated their intention of being represented but have
not yet announced their appointments.
The delegates, of whose appointment
official notice has been receivd, come
from 21 different states nnd 188 cities.
Most of Ihem nre directly interested in
some branch of mining and all of llieni
are personally concerned lu the objects
of the congress. Besides these there
will be a strong attendance fioin Canada, official delegates from the government of Mexico and consular or
commercial representatives frum a
number of nther foreign governments
which have been invited through the
state department,
The objects nf the congress nre purely practical in eharacler. Political
subjects and discussions are out of
order in its sessions. It is intended to
promote the interests of all engaged in
mining pursuits, whether as investors,
managers or laborers, In aid of this
purpose, une nf its principal alms is to
secure the establishment of n national
department of mines with a cabinet
officer at its head. It will discuss the
desirability of revising and codifying
the mineral land laws; of opening the
Spanish land grunts to prospectors and
ininers; it will discuss the desirability
of mutual bonding privileges for mine
shipments and supplies belween Canadian and American points; it will
discuss problems of mine management,
ore treatment methods, relation of
railroads to mineral development and
a number of nther subjects of broad
general interest to miners. Every
branch of the industry will be repe-
sented among the delegates and every
legion of the country, sn the program
will luke the widest range possible
within practical limits,

A C. P. ti. survey party, wilh Engineer Rice In charge, was al wnrk
last Friday on I he Midway end of Ihe

Pentictuti railway lino. It is unlikely
that any material change in the route
through the north-eastern corner of
the town will he mnde.
Last week's occasional showers refreshed the feed and crops very much,
-assisting growth and generally Improving the prospects—already good—
<if nu abundance of feed on tbe ranges,

being taken, Ou the same property is
a larger vein (quartz) currying galena

The "(I. A. II." has a 30-fool shaft
