New Machinery at the No. 7 -Republic's Qood Showing I'he new machinery lately installed fin the No. 7 mine in Central camp is nnw running smoothly, steam having been got up for the first time ahout, ten days ago. The No. 7 is the only •mine being worked in that camp at the present, time. It is owued hy the No. 7 Mining Company, of New York, the principal shareholders heing also leading members of the British Columbia Copper Company, which has done such extensive and successful work in developing the Mother Lode mine 111 Deadwood camp. The No. 7 was acquired under bond hy Col, John Weir fnr himself and New Y01 k associates about the same time as they secured the Molher Lode aud it was flrst worked, concurrently with the latter, in 1906-7. A shaft was sunk 130 feet, and bet ween 100 and 600 feet of cross- cutting and drifting was done at that depth, this wnrk resulted in its being conclusively shown that the lead gave excellent promise of proving permanent. The nre is quartz, mineralized with galena and carrying values chiefly in gold and silver. Surface croppings indicated that the lead was continuous fnr about 700 feet in the northern part of the claim, hut higher up the hill, to Ihe south of the shaft, an old ravine, filled with wash, cut it off. A |*nw|iei t shaft sunk still farther south picked up the lead again. Afler the year 1807 very little work was done on the claim, only sufficient lo fulfill the requirements of the law hi this connection, until a crown -mint was •obtained, and since then no work was done underground until this year. When the No. 7 Company was organized, a year or more ago, mine buildings were erected, mine timbers and cord wood were cut and other preparations were made for further opening up the mine, hut this intenlion was abandoned for a time, and attention was concentrated on the Molher Lode. Now, however, conditions being mure favorable, the No. 7 is to be developed. A carload of ore from the Republic group, near Boundary Fulls, has been sent tu the Qieenwood smelter, this lieing the Aral shipment made from those claims. The group includes the Republic, Last Chance, Non Sueh and Hidden Tieasure claims, all adjoining, and situate about a mile northwest nf Boundary Falls townsite. The Non Such has the distinction of being the oldest location in the Boundary district, that is to say its record bas been kept continuously on the hooks of the district mining recorder ever since the location was made hv W. T. Smith, in M86. Thei e may bave Wn one ortw . locations made in the district hefore the Non Such but it so they were nut kept on record from time of first record to tbe present.

These surveyors were some of I hem in the employ of the V. V. & K. railway, and some of ihem in the employ of Ihe Great Northern nr Jim mil. In fact, il is doul tfnl whether sonic of the engineers know just who they are employed hy; so closely are ihe Interests of ihe V. V.&E., Jim Hill mid Mann, Mackenzie & Co. ulliui. This week, however, the engineers for the Hrst time weie doing husiness in Phoenix, running preliminary Hues, ell. Lale last week a party of sixteen surveyors, under Engineer Bell, pitch* ed camp at the Last Chance mine, midway hetween Phoenix and Green wood, the avowed object heing tn get a grade from this place lo acoiiueciion witli the V.

They started at, 11 pott on the Idaho ground, mid worked down lhe valley on the Unl'th side. Ii of com se goes without saying thai lhe gieal.est o'ject of the railways coming Into the Boundary is to reach thu producing mines, and thegieatest of ihes" are locaied righl in the lion of Phoenix. Then-fur•', it n ><* seems to he a Certainty, ihat we shall have another railway lice in the near fu- Cure, and possibly two. The following despatch -cnl cut from Greenwood a few days ago says: (ireat Nort hei 11 surveyors reached Greenwood ihis morning and are camped at the Els. horn hrewery, lit the northern cud of town. While r ports have been sent nut that Ihe line, tapping the Boundary camps will start from Cursnn, following Knurl h of July creek to Phoenix and ihence nloifg til" divide Ui Summil camp, it is now evident lhat the engineers Hnd that all the camps can he reached with less mileage from Midway along the Boundary creek valley.

SHERIDAN GROUP BONDED. James Cronan Takes a Bond nn a Toroda Property-Ore Can Easily be Shipped to Midway. James Cronan, a mine manager of large experience and excellent judgment, has bund, d the I'liil Sheridan group, in Sheridan camp, about AA miles from Midway. The Phil Sheridan group is owned hy Peier McConnick and Thomas Phinney. It is situate ahout three- fourths of a mile norlhwestof the Zulu M.i out of which a considerable quantity of very rich ore has been taken and 'hipped lo Midway. His a comparatively new properly, hut il is one of the most promising prospecls that has been found in that camp, A shaft was sunk fnr 11 deplh of i^ghl feel and ahoul two a half tons of ore were I alien out, which, it is claimed, will average $100 per. ton. There aie Iwo feet of this ore on the footwall, ami three feet moie of highly mineralized vein mailer. The ore is 11 sulphide, currying silver, gold and cupper. The shaft will he sunk to 11 tlepih of 100 feet, with drifts for a sufficient dislance to determine the character of the ledge. A tunnel may be driven laler to cut three parallel veins al, a depth of ahoul iJXI feet. The lower vein can les an average of $18 per ton in silver and gold. The middle vein carries the high values, w.iile ihe upper vein has nnt been opened nnd its value is unknown. The properly is not more than Ihree tourlhs of a mile from an excellent wagon road leading down Toroda creek, which affords an opportunity for the ore to be shipped to Grand Kinks or Midway.

List year 12,0(10 Americans crossed the border to settle in Canada and this year the Oanadiau government expects the number will Ihi increased to 20,(0). Canada is strengl bening herself at the expense of the United Slates, while our govern ment is spending hundreds uf millions on tropical Asiatic islands that, are totally unfitted for settlement by white men. Our imperial policy is a good thing -for Canada." Editing this paper is a nice thing. If we publish jokes people say we are rattle-brained. If we don't we are an old fossil, lf we publish original mallei' they say wednn'l give them enough selections. If we give tlreni selections ibey say we are too laz.y lo write. If We don't go to church we are heathen ; If we do we are a hypocrite. If we remain in the olllce we ought to go out and hustle locals. If we go out then we are not attending to our husiness. If we wear old clothes they laugh at us, If we wear good clothes I hey say we have a pull. Nnw, what are we (-'"ing tn do?

When the editor of ihe Rossland Miner wrote the following, Ire sized up the work accomplished in the Legislature during lire past session ina nutshell : The session is nver ; the house has heen prorogued, and the tired legislators are returning lo their hoines. ll was a RHind session, wasn't it! In the language of the schoolboy it was "a dandy" ! Do you ask what was accomplished ? Why, we are .surprised at your ignorance, Dn ynu not know that the members after strenuous wrestling with tire problem succeeded in passing a hill increasing the sessional indemnity frnm $000 io $800 I That was a great achievement and removes once and for all any doubt which mny bave existed in the minds of Ihe people that those who were sent to look afler the interests of the oountry were liable to overlook opportunities to place an honest dollar in their pockets. But something more was accomplished dining lire session—oh, yes, something more. For instance, the country has been introduced tn a brand new railwav policy. This policy is unique. It is, as was the session, "a dandy." It may be termed a "Sweet Bye and Bye" policy. It promises a great deal and accomplishes nothing. The people are given a policy when they want a railway—thai, in shorl, seems to he about the size nf the government's achievement. But. something mure was ao* complished during thc session. Tbis was the nuptials of Martin and Dttns- inuir. They were married during the sesdnn. Didn't ynu bear ahoul it 'f Ob, yes. I bey were, and it was a grand affair. All, or nearly all, of the members of the Opposition assisted at the ceremonies, Mclnnes was best man and oilier assistants were Brown, Houston and Green, Tire presents were "numerous and costly." The C. P. It. contributed handsomely, so it is mid. It was a groat session, outfit, comprising parties of United Slaies and Canadian engineers, the latter under the direction of Mr, J. J, McArthur, will operate from the const east. The task undertaken by the International Commission, that of relocating the line lietween the two coiiniries, is one uf very considerable magnitude, and will probably require several years for its consummation. The twn sets of parlies will act 111 conjunction with each other. At Mid way Mr. O'liara will confre with the chief of the United States party and arrive at an allotment of thc work; lhe principle being lo have the respective engineers check each other's work anil take sections of the country In rotation. The detail to Iw followed will he lhat of taking a system of tritingnlafinns on this side of the line by the Canadian party and on the nther side hy Ihe United Stales party, together with photographic surveys, the latter being a rapid means of covering the ground with absolute accuracy and without the ordinary course of surveying work. It is tint generally understood that the work carried on hy the survey parties of the respective countries i.s wholly of a preliminary nature. The engineers are on the ground for the purpose of determining the exact, location of the geopraphical line and reporting the information thus obtained to lbe International Commission which will then confer and determine whete the line will be placed. When this decision is arrived tit the line will be marked by a series of stone mounds distant ft nm each other about n mile, A stralghl line will be run connecting these mounds and the line will be marked by a broad blaze ten or twelve feet in width so that no future doubt can arise as to tbe status of land within the area close to ihe boundary, rt-t Prospecting in B. C. Now thai, the camping out season has begun, if tuny not be amiss to give a few notes on prospecting. There Is no life more healthful and more de lightful. It. is somewhat suipriaitiK that a larger proportion of young Englishmen who have a little money do not spend n summer in Briiish Colunihia, amusing themselves in this way, in which, if they lay Iheir plans tight, they are almost certain to add prolit lo pleasure. No very considerable sum is needed, as JBI05 worth of work on a claim would hold it for all lime, untl with ibe addition of a s to cover.advertising, surveys and recording, usually aliout £25 will obluin a Grown grant, those whn gn prospecting should be able lo lay their hands on this sum. It must, however, limited that this expenditure is not, required all at once, but, can be spread over live years. Tbe most important point is to get a good guide. There are, of course, numerous prospectors to he found who will lead a party into lire woods and give them a chance to stumble nu a discovery hy accident, hut it pays to lake someone who has a thorough knowledge nf rock and tan make some rough tests. So little capital has been invested In t he country n few miles back from tlie railroad that it is absurd to go out without a clear idea of aiming at a definite poinl, foe Ihe men wbo have been in the country studying its mineral possi- hilii ies for the last few years know of outcrops in every direction which promise well, but which they do mil stake because they have not the means to work them, The whole of the dry belt, or inter ior plateau of British Oolumhla, can he traversed with horses. Hurse trails also run tlirouujh a large part of the more thickly wooded and precipitous regions lo the east and wesl, so that, lire camping outlii and food can be carried on horseback, at the average rate of ahoul 150 pounds tn the horse. A horse will carry more, hut the lighter the load the less the risk of a sine back. The prospectors can nlso ride but very often, as it is advisable lo give a more thorough examination to ihe ground than can lie given from llu bin k of a horse, some of tbem walk, and Ibis has the advantage of requiring less horses, which means le* trouble. When on the trail a ptnly can average 15 miles a day easily with pack horses. During the summer i here is good trout fishing all through the mountains, and in the autumn deer and bear afford good sport for all who care for such things.—B. C. He view. KAILWAY CO. Nelson 4 Ft.

(J. for a gallant, feat nf arms performed when he was Sergeant in the machine gun section of the Canadian Mounted Hides, is a son of Mr, Andrew Holland, Maria street, Ottawa, and is 22 years of age. He received his military training as a trooper in Ihe Princess Louise Dragoon Guards, and enlisted in the Canadian Mounted Rifles for South Africa, afterwards heing attached to Howard's guns. He received a Lieutenancy in his old corps, the P. L. D. G., on his return from South Africa, He is an athlete well known throughout Canada. He is a member of lhe 0. A, A. (',, and a proficient amateur boxer, as well as a crack shot and a good rider. Holland is a mudest, unassuming young man. He came through lhe war without a scratch. The deed for which he won the most coveted distinction in the Hritish Empire occurred during Ihe operations in the eastern Transvaal. The detachment to which ihe Canadian Dragoons and artillery were attached was going from Belfast lo Lilliefnnteiu, acting as a rear guard to the column, The main column passed through the pass, which was aliout a mile wide, lietween the hills near Lillieliinlein, without heing molested except for an occasional snipe shot at the II.ink patrol. When the re.tr guard, composed of thirty Canadian Dragoons, under Capt, Cookhurn (also awarded the V. C), the left, section if D Ila11cry under Lieut. Morrison (mentioned in despatches), anuinher of Ihe Shropshire Light Infantry and Sergeant Holland, wiih thu Colt gun, were retiring, Ihey were attacked hy a much larger force of Boers. The handful of Canadians put up a good fight in the wide pass. The Dragoons swung to right and left at Ool, LfHsiird'g command, extended, galloped hack and met the Boer attack. The Boers thought they had an easy thing, and came uut iu the open. Lieut, Morrison swung his guns into action and gave ihe Boers a few sheik But this, although well done, had nut lhe desired effect. The Boers came on : one of ihe limes they risked a little. Holland, with "flat" Howard, was out with the screen of dragoons, and when tile Bierscume out in the open they poured lead into I hem. 'i'he Boers were loo numerous, however, and loo close, Besides this, they were coining around ; the flanks of thu litlle detachment and' it looked like a round-up The order to retire came, uml the British drew back a litlle, only to turn and face the enemy again. It was on one of these 1 occasions, when Holland had planted his gun to give hat tie, that it hecame apparent to all that in order lo save their guns they would have to make a tun for it. Lieut. Morrison's men were helping the horses to pull the gum, I while Holland with bis Colt was hanging on to the last, to give Ihe heavy gnus every chance to- get out of the way. Ou came the Boers, and rat, tat, tat, tut, went Holland's gun, until they were within a few yards. It became apparent to him that he would have to get nut. One uf his gun horses had been shut down, and the other could not draw the gun alone. He sized up the situation, seized lhe gun from the carriage, and, although it was almost red hot from the heavy firing, jumped on the remaining horse and retiied At tbe gallop. His hands and arms weie burned, hut he had saved the gun and bud been the meant of assisting Lieu'. Morrison with the heuvier guns to get out of Ihe way. Meanwhile the Boers reached tbe Colt gun carriage, For the moment Ihey thought they had made a capture, and ti ied to turn it on the retiring Canadians, hut weie much chagrined wh-n they found that Ihe "fiery devil," aa ihey called it, hnd been cm tied off. In disgust they burned the carriage. Holland, in the meantime, had galloped well back wiih his gun. On his way he met the Gen* eral, Smith • Dorrien. The General looked at the young Canadian, and asked him what he was hugging uudei bis arm. Holland replied, "My gun, sir." "Good," replied the cool General, as he scanned the ground where Holland had come from. NOTICE OF FOHFEITUBE. To D, McKay, Ksq., of Ktrumcos, British Columbia.
