The building of the MidWay-Vernon road will materially assist in making Midway the great railway, smelter and commercial centre it is sure to become, for eventually all the West Fork ore will he 8inelt"d here, This town has the best smelter site of any town in the district, and when the Midway Vernon railway opens lip the West Fork country lhe mining industry will develop and the ore Will he hauled down hill to Midway where is its natural point for treatment. For what more favorable advantages could any town offer l o any smelting compuny than an ideal smeller site with plenty of Water aud affording a down hill haul for hath ore and Cuke ? —i—*-#-« Rambler Interest Sold. F. J. Finucane, manager of the Bank of Montreal, Greenwood, has purchased a one-eighth interest in the Rambler claim from Gorman West. The re niainder of the claim is owned by W. .1. Nelsnn and E. Bumbo, The properly is one of tlie nio-t promising up the West Fork. It is situate on Wallace mountain, about three miles east of Beaverdell. The lead on which a shaf '.- is now being sunk nn Iw leneed fin- 1,0(10 feet across the property. The shaft is now down 80 feel) and at this depth lhe ledge is e'ght feet in Width, and lias a paystreak of about four feet of solid metal eairying good values in silver. Nalive silver shows plainly in the paystreak und it is altogether probable that the ore will run over one hundred dollars lo the Ion. Already a carload of ore has been sacked and is ready to he hauled to Midway as soon as (here is ntillli-ient snow to admit of it being hauled hy sleighs. As Others See Us. Under the caption "Canadians Are Loyal" the Spokesman Review, in speaking of Canada sending soldiers to South Africa, says i It litis again been demonstrated Ihal the mother country limy confidently rely on Canada when in times of stress there is need for aid from lhe colonies. The Canadians want tn run their own affairs about as Ihey please, and would no dnuhl resent interference hy the head authorities of tlie empire, hut ihey are intensely loyal to (lie British throne and stand ready to defend It under all circumstances or to assist in any military operations that have for their object thu glory of the empire. Whenever England lias called upon the coluniea for support in any trouble, actual or threatened, Ihe Canadians have been among the lirst to respond. Frequently they have volunteered aid before it bus been asked and there lias never been any doubt as to what Ih answer would be tn a request for Canadian support, ln 1885, when war clouds began to roll up un the boundary line between Russia and Afghanistan and all Europe looked for serious hostilities, the Dominion wus ready wiih men and money and would have done iiinie than her share to protect the Indian empire. All Canada wns eager in share in lhe Doer war, and when the summons came for volunteers the number of those presenting llieinsi'lvesfnrservice was greatly in excess of the quota re* quired. Thc question was not how to lind the uun hut how lo select from the many anxious to share in Ihu South African campaign. There is likely to be a similar experience in choosing the 000 men whose services have just been tendered for the Boer war and accepted with thanks by tbe imperial government. THE BUCKHORN. A Diamond Drill Will be Installed on the Property. for a long time the owners of claims on Copper mountain, Myers creek, have been looking forward with great, interest to tlie time when the long tun-- nel that was heing run on the Buckhorn would slrike the ledge at a deplh of 300 feet, as it was generally conceded lhat the result would to a great extent, determine the values nf lhe ore hollies on Oopper Mounlain al depth, Ahout two weeks ago the tunnel reached I ho ledge mid although Ilie result was not as satisfactory as was expected, yet there was no reason for alai hut the superintendent, M. M. Wal*,h, has decided to install a diamond cl■ ill mid more thoroughly explore lhe properly. The Buckhorn is one of n group of eight claims owned by tlie Monterey Mining company, A shaft has been sunk on the pioperty to a depth of llii) feet, at the bottom of whieh a crosscut was runi showing the ledge to lie SO feet in width, assays from which gave good values. The surface showings of the Cupper inountain properties are etiucuiuus.aiul if tbe ledges at depth prove lobe of cm-responding widths, it will be one of tho best mining camps west of here. m Fire at Anaconda. Early last Thursday morning fire broke out in the premises of the Palace Hotel. Anaconda, and in a short time the building aud its contents were re* duced to ashes. It is not known how the Die originated, hut. il had1'gained good headway before being discovered, There is no effective water system iu Anaconda, so it was impossible to check the flames and only for the effort* of a volunteer lire brigade, a neighboring building distant about 80 feet, would have also gone up in Haines, as it was no damage was done to it beyond ubad scorching, liooper.t Bell, the proprietors, estimate the loss ou the contents al $2,600 on which they had un insurance of $1,000. Thomas Hardy, of Phoenix, owner of tlie building fstnntiled it. to be worth $5,000 on which he had $2,800 insurance The conflagration spread with sueh rapidity lhat the guests were unalile lo save hut very little of their belong ings, A few weeks ago the palace narrowly escaped being luirn-d, owing to adefectiveftue, however, the flames were discovered and extinguished in lime to prevent any serious loss. The palace Was built in 180(1 by Thomas Hardy, since then ihe town Ims grade, ally grown towards (ireenwood until it was poorly situated to do n large trade, so it is not likely it will be rebuilt, —rt.

But we hope iu fate's propil inns guidance, when the elements of di.-cord having been gut over and mutual slock taking finished, the hand of nation shall grasp that of nation, and opposing factions having sunk iheir selfishness shall arise in the newness uf might and dignity, proclaiming as Carlyle prophesied of the Teutons, "The lime of day to the whole civilized world." In Ihis lies the hope of Ihe future and the guarantee of the world's peace, fm it surely has been destined that the Saxon shall dominate-the earth and by lhe Iiiienil dictation of terms of harmony shall compel competing races to agree. Then shall have come the dreams of the enthusiasts of tbe ages, tbat of the Christ, "A world of peace and harmony," Ibat uf More, "An illn- pian ideal of love und labor without troublous toil," 'hat of Bums. "When man to man the n orld o'er shall broth era be and a'mat," and of Tennyson, "The parliament of man, the federation of the world." But how lo bring it about and how to reconcile the opposing influence of Crown, of Republic and of Colony is the p-ohlem of a life. Just now ..few can do anything but dream of it, but the-gnod sense of the people when they are made to -.recognize a good thing will triumph in the forcing of public reform on their rulers.

Sometimes I have alinn»t thought I would rafchw no wi.hout the nioiiey than get a congestive chill in a hank president's office and have him giizo into my eyes and read Ihe inmost secrets of my soul, and ask unfeeling ijui'glions.iind pry rudely into my past, and throw out wild suggestions ubout gelllni; Mr. Aslur Io endorse for me, nnd'other similar atrocilies.
