MORRIS, PROP. Compressed Air. "Compressing air until it remains couipiessed without any pressure opon it,"are the few words wilh which a writer in the Electrical Engineer describes Ihe new product, "serine," or liquified air, remarking I Imt. though requiring nn eiiorin oils pressure to get it, in 6ilch il form, It will remain there for some time in the open nil-; I hut is, until it gets hent enough from lhe surrounding air lo turn again into its natural slate. It will turn mercury into a solid form as soon as it is poured into it and freeze up a thermometer rapidly. Such is the assumed pnspec- tiye usefulness of this liquid that predictions are made of distant water powers now running lo waste lieing soon employed eoniprtssing Ihe very air we lueiithe into a liquid form and shipping il. tiydl purls of thu globe for industial purposes. ■ -4.4 A Bold Step. The Spokane Chronicle commenting editorially upon the finding of Ihe jury in the Webster murder case, gives to Iheworldii Iriieinsightjnlo lhe way In which up lo the present, at any rate justice has lieen administered Iii the home of lhe brave and the land of the free. It says:—"Kor the lirst lime in lhe history of .Spokane county a while man has been 1'ulivlcled of murder iu lhe Hrst degree. Il is a record that Uie presenl puisecuting attorney can point, to wilh pride. He has accomplished whal all of bis predecessors have failed lodo, and has restored lo tbe people tt confidence in tbe law of ihe counlry. Whatever may he the ultimate outcome of lhe Websler case the people will feel a sence of relief in the knowledge that, the Mint:lias passed when murder can be committed in this county with Impunity, It, is rarely that a iiiiiii escapes punishment for a petty offence against the laws, but heretofore, wilh the exeepl ion of one old negro and u Chinaman, murderers have been exempt from the punishment laid down In Ihe siaiuie hooks. The murder commuted by Webster wes no more atrocious than many others that have occurred during the existence of Ihis county, but as a start hnd to be made sometime ll is just as well that lhe Hrst should be Webster, for his wns certainly a diabolical crime, POST OFFICE STORE.

A tunnel is being driven on this vein from which ore is being taken. On the same property is a larger vein (quartz) carrying galena and pyrites. The "G. A.

'■ __\___t___.t_tBUg_tf k ^^ J NOW IS THE TIME To get in on the ground floor. The company having recently purchased the McDonnell ranch of about 560 acres, adjoining its mineral claims, now possesses unusual facilities for carrying on mining operations on a large scale. This purchase has secured to the Company excellent mill and smelter sites; abundant water power for mining, electric light, domestic and other purposes, and other desirable advantages. Forty acres of this land, very conveniently and centrally situated at the junction of Eholt Creek and Boundary Creek, have been surveyed into town lots, and the new townsite has been named. BOUNDARY GREEK CITY. I TS situation is a most favorable one, being at j nigh on the line of the new railway from the the meeting place of two much used routes o' travel—to Long Lake, Pass Creek and Summit camps, and to Kimberly camp, and the main Kettle River respectively. It is also the only known practicable railway pass from the east, so will be Columbia River to Penticton. Building has already commenced on the new townsite, which offers particular inducement for both business and residence purposes. There are now good openings for several kinds of businesses and the company will give exery encouragement to business men establishing themselves at this point. Prices of lots are within the reach of all, and buyers building on them will be liberally dealt with. Full particulars of both mineral claims and town lots will be given upon application to the BOUNDARY CREEK MINING AND MILLING CONPANY, LTD GREENWOOD CITY B, C
