The vagaries of the tlolumhian of New Westminster have contributed much to ihe gaiety of nations from lime to lime, hut it is safe lo say that tbe last prank played under il-auspices quite outdoes anything hi its previous record. As everybody knows, the Columbian used lu he a sluing supporter of Ihe Lilieral party when Ihe Kennedy brothers owned ii. One of Ihe Ken nedy*. became pnsiniusier ami the paper. In-ill-; acquired hy thu Columbian Printing company, wilh Mr. .1. 0. Taylor as managing editor, became I he chief ex lion, nl of Ooiiset'vntism in Bt-i lish Columbia. During lhe lasl. Doniinion election tbe Columbian wan an ardent opponent of the governiuenl. The tight It put up in favor of Hon. Edgar Dewdney, the Conservative nominee, wus dis linctly poor, mid the Liheral candidate, Mr. Aulay Morrison, wiisclected by an overwhelming majority. From that I line on, It is understood, things have nol, Ineu pailti'tiliiriv happy, hul mat lew came to it crisis last night when Mr. Koheil Kennedy, on., of the former owners, attempted lo lake ovei the ownership of lhe paper again, and as a result was arrested tin a charge of des- inning pioperty. According lo Mr. Tayloi-a payment of $6,(100 principal and $17oln'pi'.-sl was due to Kennedy Bros, nn May 2. A check for l lie amount was tendered by Mr. O. I.. C .rhdiild, president of lbe conipany. bin was refu-eil. Then the amount was tendered in gold, hut, the a.'ceplani'o was i-i-fti-.-il ow ng In a difficulty ahoul a uioi'lgag" on th-properly which was to have been assumed by the compuny. A Large Body of High tirade Ore Has Been Struck at the -oo-l-'oot Level. A rich body of ore has been struck on the 400-foot level in the west end of the Cariboo. The face of the drift nl Ihut level showing six feet ot high grade ore. The marked success of the development work in the Cariboo dining ihe last two months has been phenomenal, and has thoroughly eonvinc eil tbe utaiiitgeinent of the future possi bilities of the pioperty, depth giving greater solidity and richness to th ore hody, and though dnuhtless breaks or faiths will be encountered, they will occur with less frequency, and the plans for increasing the output of the mine, which have been for some time in contemplation, may now he carried out with tbe utmost confidence. The Cariboo stands pre eminent as the free gold mine of Briiish Columbia. Ils unbroken mill run of over seven years, its constant record as a dividend payer, with its present remarkable showing nf a large hody of high grade ore in the levels, must place this properly in the premier rank as one if not Ihe most successful of the milling undertakings of the province. Though the Carihoo overshadows all other properties of Ihe camp, then are many claims of undoubted merit whose owners have as far as means permitted, endeavored to develop, but owing to lack of capital many of these properties hnve scarcely mm* than passed the prospective stage. Tbe huilding of the new wagon road this summer from Camp McKinney to Rock Creek will pass thinugh one of the most promising mineral seel tons in the vicinity of the camp, and when finished will lie the stage road, being shorter and a better grade tbanthe old road, and its construction will be of the greatest benefit to tbe camp, more particularly lo the owners of the War Kagle, Le Hoi. Homes take, Triangle, Dayton, Night Hawk, .Inn Crow, etc., lo whom it will give means of transportation, and whose pro|ierties are well worth the attention of mining investors, fl. \ ret WILL RESUME WORK On the Okanogan Uold nines, Ltd., at Oroville.

An extraordinary general meeting of the coinpaiiy has heen called at Hossland for May 27 lo organise the coinpaiiy and to resume work. The reports from the Okanogan mine show that at present Ihere is a considerable amount of ore in sight of sufficiently high grade to pay off all the debts of lhe company. The uttli/.- ni inn of ibis nre, along with the,money available under l he plan of reconstruction and the placing nf development work always ahead ol the requirements of lhe mill, will, in the opinion of the directors, Boon dear the mine of delil, and ll can nol. he very lung hefore the mine is placed on a dividend .paying Oasis.

The provincial government, always anxious lo give the residents and sell lets in out of the way places some of ihe advantages ei joyed by urhiiii- ites, has been lo great pains und considerable expense lo extend lhe travelling library system founded some three years ago, and there are now 24 libraries of 100 volumes each in t-iicu- latiiin from the wt-st, coast of the Island to 160-Mile House, Carihoo.

New Machinery at the No. 7-Kepub- llc's Qood Showing. The new machinery lately installed -on the No, 7 mine in Central camp is nnw running smoothly, sleain having been got tip for the first time nhout ten days ago. The No. 7 is the only mine heing worked in thnt camp at the present time. It is owned hy the No. 7 Mining Compuny, of New York, the principal shareholders heing also leading members of lhe Briiish Colunihia Copper Conipany, which has done such extensive and successful work in developing the Mother Lode mine in Deadwood camp. The No. 7 was acquired under bond hy Col. John Weir for himself and New Yoik associates about the same time as they secured the Mother Lode and il was first worked, concurrently with the latter, in 1808-7. A shaft was sunk 130 feet, and between 100 and 600 feet of cross- cutting and drifting was done at that depth, this work resulted in its being conclusively shown that the lead gave excellent promise of proving permanent. The ore is quartz, iitineralixed with galena and carrying values chiefly in gold and silver. Surface croppings indicated that tlie lead was continuous for about 700 feet in the northern part of the claim, hut higher; up the hill, lo lhe sooth of the shaft, an old ravine, filled wilh wash, cut it off. A prospect shaft sunk still farther south picked up the lead again. After the. year 1897 very little work was done on the claim, only sufficient In fulfill the requiienienis of the law in Ihis connection, until a crown grant was obtained, and since then no work was done underground until Ihis year. When ihe No. 7 Company was organized, a year or more ago, mine build- j ings were erected, mine timbers and cord wood were cut and other preparations were made for further opening np the mine, hut Ihis intention was abandoned for a time, and attention was concentrated on the Mother Lode. Now, however, conditions being more favorable, Ihe No. 7 is to be developed. A carload of ote from the Republic group, near Boundary Fulls, has been sent to lhe Gteenwood smelter, Ihis heing the flrst shipment made from thnn«'«»l».**-» an ■ locations made in thc dislrict before the Non Such but it to they were nut kept on record from time of first record to tbe present, The group hat been owned for the last five or six years by the Kepubli MTHJE 8P FOHFEITUBE.
