The proposal to nationalize the telegraph systems of iheDoniinion is meeting with great favor throughout I he country. It is clearly recognised that Ihe telegraph comes within the scope of the Postofflce depart ment, and that the government should monopolise Ihe delivery of all letters, whether they are sent by telegraph or mail. We believe the roitnlry is prepared to sanction the purchase by the govern ment of the telegraph lines of the country. Under government operation telegraph charges could be reduced hy 3(1 Der cent., and the service would still he self-supporting. The elimination of competition, the use of government huildings already erected, and olher economies rendered possihle by the transfer of the services to the govern ment, would justify such a reduction at once, It looks now as if the nationalization of the telegraph systems of Canada is within sight.— Toronto World. ■ Just as often as an American Com pany asks for a charter lo build a railway into Canadian territory, just, so often appear ulaitiling articles mid Interviews setting forth various dan gers such railway connections would be to the commercial interests of Can ada. These dangers are, of course, as seen by those whose individual interests would not he benefitted by add! lional railway facilities and are, therefore, hypothetical as far as the interests ut Canada, or more especially this Pro vince, are concerned. Such articles are generally written by people that have only their own welfare at heart and would do anything to belter their condition if it. meant ruination to the country. Every thinking man knows full well Ihal British Colunihia requires more and better railway facili ties. Then why should any reliahle company anxious to supply what is needed in this line he shut off from the privilege of building a line of i -vil way, especially so when not. a dollar is asked of the eoutiiry to h«lp huild it. Canada has already erred iu this way when it. refused io grunt a chattel' to Ihe Kettle River Valley Kailway and it is to be hoped I bal the ei ior will not be repeated. At Hie time D. C. Cor bin was seeking ji charter to build into Oaiiit«li.n» lp»-i it»».y, ,. ui.oilae any was Hindi; to that at the present time, the commercial interests of Canada were going to suffer by Ibe building of a foreign road, and when the application was made before the House at Ottawa it was thrown out and the people of British Columbia had to suffer in order to satisfy a few selfish individuals, T'he reason now advanced by those who are trying to keep the country hack by preventing railway competition is that Hill, if granted ihe charier for his road, will lake the hulk of the coal from the Crow's Nest coal fields into ihe United Slates and that Canadian interests will suffer on account of n shortageof this commodity Now is this reason any reason at all P All reports unite in pronouncing the coalfields of British Columbia amongst the most extensive aud the mosl easily mined nn the continentr They ate said to have an area hf at least 275,000 acres. With sufficient development there appears to be no doubt of their being not only ahle to suppy the needs of British Columbia, present or future, but to furnish an immense supply for export, and as the supply for home consumption will first he provided for, fear of a shortage of coal or coke in British Columbia is as absurd as fear of a shortage of timber. Such shortages can come only through the dis eotiiagemenl of eiiteiprise hy a foolish policy of obstruction, and there is no reason in the world why this charter should not he granted. Instead of becoming so alarmed at the possibility of British Columbia coal going into the United 8tates, we should assist any enterprise that is likely to offer a mar let for thp products of our coal mines. Story with a Moral. Here is the latest story of the man who is too stingy to t»ke his home paper : A man who is too economical to subscribe for a paper sent his litlle boy to borrow lhe copy taken by bis neighbor. In his haste the hoy ran over a four-dollar stand of bees, and in ten minutes looked like a warty squash. His cries reached his father, who ran to his assistance, and failing to notice a barbed wire fence ran into that, breaking it down, cutting » handful of flesh fiom his anatomy and ruining a four-dollar pair of pants. The old cow took advantage of the hole in the fence and got into the cornfield and killed herself eating green corn. Hearing the racket, the wife ran, upset a Hve gallon ihurn full of rich cream into a basket of chickens, drowning the whole flock. In the hurry she 'dropped a seven-dollar set of false leeth. The baby, left alone crawled through the spilled milk and into the parlor, ruining a brand new twenty- dollar carpet. During the excitement Ihe oldest daughter ran away witb Hie hired mad, tbe dog broke up eleven setting hens and the calves got oul, tmd chewed tbe tails off four Hne shirts. Thft lodge Plfty Feet in Width at the 600 Foot Level THE NEW MACHINERY ORDERED On ta Sight Will Keep tbe Preeent Mill Running for Several Yean. The Republic mine bas been recently examined by a party under the guidance of Superintendent W. J. Casey. The flrst workings done on the now renowned mine were first inspected. Near the old Workings a large foroe of men is opening up the big ore shoot that lies south of the discovery shaf',. The payshoot comes within a few inches ot the surface, where it Is exposed, and ie the richest ore that has been near the surface at any point on the porphyry belt. The descent into the mine Was then begun. Kvery etopein the mtarf was inspected from the surface to the 400- foot level. There is still considerable hand drilling going on where it is inconvenient to set up machine drills, but there are three of the latter iu operation. At all points where the men were at work there were solid ore bodies, and all of it of good grade, ln the upper level the ore body averages aliout three feet across, except in que spot, where there is a big swell, and it is about eight feet wide. Itis in this that the fabulously rich ore was found t hat gave the mine its great reputation and its owners wealth. In the next level helow the swell il is ul out 10 feet wide and the general average of the ledge about six feel. In the same shoot at the 400-foot level the shoot is .upward of 35 feet wide, and at the 600-foot level it is as wide as 56 feet for a short distance. The mine has been thoroughly opened up between tbe surface and the first, second and third levels fur about 220 feet on the soul h side of the tun*, nels that have been driven to cut l he ledge at the various levels. About one half of the ore bas heen sloped ont for 250 feet from the surface. From there down the ore body is practically intact. As $600,000 have been taken ont of one half of the oie that is known to exist above the 250-foot level it will be readily seen that the mine will produce a pretty large amount of gold before ihe or" is exhausted ubove the level of N'o. 4 tunnel, which cuts tbe ledge at a deplh of IK» feet. After leaving tunnel No, 3 the party went to the month of No, 4 tunnel,' auu arter walking n, a,ouofcrt«fee fade* was reached. This is the tunnel through which the ore from the upper levels reaches the sampler. Here a large station has been cut out for the accommodation of the ore cars. The ledge at this point is ahout 30 feet wide and 60 feet south of the tunnel it is 56 feet wide. Superintendent Casey stated that a new 15 drill compressor plant bas been ordered und a 60 horse power engine. The station where the winze is will he enlarged for the reception of the hoist and the station at Uie tunnel will be considerably enlarged to make room for more tracks. As Boon as new ina chinery is installed it is contemplated pushing down the wince and developing the ledge on the WO foot level, as the ore at tbat point is of high grade. There need, however, be no rush to open this level, so far as an ore supply- is concerned, for it will take several years for the present plant to treat all Ibe pre that is now te sight. With such large reserves tbe conipany can develop tbe lower working* of the mine in tbe most systematic manner. . In the past the work bas been crowded to determine to what extent the mine was a paying one, or rather to ascertain if it would justify the erection of a mammoth reduction plant. The latter question has lieen answered in the affirmative beyond doubt, for il is there us a monument to lbe foresight and euierpiise of the management uf the Republic company. If all recog nized signs do not fail generations will he born hefore the mine is exhausted. Tbe entire ledge wae not filled with very rich ore, although it all carries values that will ultimately pay for Ireal ment. There is, however, a con siderable body of the ore that is of high grade. At tbe point where the ledge is the widest a winze has been sunk to a depth of 140 feet At a depth of 100 feet the ledge was crosscut and found to be 26 feet wide. Tbat appears to lie about tbe average width of tbe big oresboot at lhe 800 foot level. By actual measurement tbe Republic ledge has beeu opened to a depth of TOO fee}, on iis dip. wbich is ahout 80 degrees, Work was suspended on the shaft aa the power was needed lo drive drills at other points in tbe mine. no small degree td the decision to reorganize the old company. Meantime work was suspended on the No. 1 north and commenced on lhe No. 2 north und immediately some small kidneys of very high grade ore, running, from $70to$200thetoiiiwiire encountered. Picked samples assayed up tn linearly all gold. - „ Owing to reorganization, work was suspended on this ledge also, but a trial shipment gave U30.26 net,per ton. Not heing satisfied witb the smeller returns for the No. 1 north, the management had the shipment umpired and the result proved the ore ly'be of shipping value. Last month work wa^i repiimrd.on the No. 2 north. Por the flrst 25 feet of sinking there was no improvement in the winze. The vein was dipping north at 60 degrees ahd it will be remembered lhat the dip of the No. 1 vein waj 30 degrees. Half way distant hetween these Iwo veins, in the north tunnel, a small stringer wus found, dipping 35degrees to lho north. Consequently both this stringer and thc No. 1 north milst eventually join the No. 2 north. At a depth of 28 feet t be stringer came in, aud at a depth of 60 feet the No. 1 vein, if continuous, must also come in. A station has just been completed over the winze and un engine, hoist, pump, etc., installed, and sinking will he continued wilh vigor for another ISO feet, making 451) from the surface. It is confidently expected lhat a strong ore hody will he encountered when the union of the two veins takes place- During January 44 feet of woik was done on the east drift, HOI) fool level. Ore of |uw hut shipping.grade was continually encountered. __-: DENTIST. NADEN.-FLOOU BLOCK ■ OBEENWOOD.
