A petition to tlie Hon. the Postuias* ter General for the provision of mail facilities for the West Pork of Kettle Biver is now being circulated in the district and is everywhere meeting with signers. The petition nsks for regular mail service between Bock Creek and Beaverton. It urges the meeting cf a real need and one that should not longer remain unprovided for. About a year ago the Postofflce inspector for the mainland visited the West Fork, and it was thought hy those chiefly interested that the inauguration of a regular mail service between the points mentioned would *oon follow tbe visit of that official. But it did not, so that to-day the mining camps up tbe main Settle Biver and the West Fork are entirely with out mail communication. A weekly wail is being cirried to Westbridge, a point six miles above Bock Creek, al the confluence of the West Fork with the main Kettle Biver, but it is of little or no benefit to any place other than Westbridge. Taking the townsite of Beaverton, which is between 35 and 40 miles beyond Bock Creek, there arc within a radius of five or six miles several mining properties upon which a large number of men will be continuously employed from now on. The circumstances of the situation have materially changed since the Postofflce Inspector visited the neighborhood, as a number of the properties bave since come into prominence. Take for instance the Carmi, which at the time of (he Inspector's visit was scarcely heard of, has since been bonded for a large figure, and is giving such thorough satisfaction that the various payments which have become due have been promptly met, and a shipment of ore from this property will leave Midway this week for tbe Trail smelter. There are also a number of other promising properties in the vicinity of Beaverton, such as the Washington and Idaho group, the Atlantic Cable group, the Mountain Belle group, 16 to 1, Knob Hill, King Solomon and others, Another good reason why this reasonable request should be granted is that there are now at Beaverton a number of business houses and residences, the owners of which have gnne in there believing lhat tbe district will grow in importance and its population increase. They have unbounded faith in the district. They are opening up a new country, a country whieh when devel- oped will return a great revenue. These trail blazers nre benefactors to ■ the country, and should receive some encouragement in return for the energy displayed in bringing lhat country to the front, and no more suitable way can the Government And than in providing for this long felt want. The people are entitled to it and should have it. In tbe foregoing no account haa been taken of other small settle merits or camps situate along the West Fork or up the Main Kettle Kiver, which wonld alao be served in a measure by the sending of a regular mail from Bock Creek. There are, Ihough, several of these, so it does not seem an unreasonable request to ask that a regular mail service from Kock Creek to Beaverton be established, and that this lie done immediately. iuh worn. "1\> develop these tnirteMess resource* we have a people blended of two dominant races-a people tracing its origin to freedom, religion, and loyalty—a people which has kept itself clean from the taint of criminal and pauper immigration. To incite us to greatness we have all tbe glory of France and Britain, whose heirs we are, whose example is always before us, the seeds of whose example is al ways before us, the seeds of whose virtues are sown in our hlood. Thus peculiarly favored by the God of Nations, we stand with our feet on the threshold of the future." K. In the middle ages war could he created at very short notice on tbe slightest pretext. It is far otherwise to-day and now tbat Lord Bobs bas conquered in South Africa, Britishers as students of history, will begin to recognize, strictly among themselves, that Oom Paul and his Boers were not the sole causes of trouble In South Africa. So it is in China No one, except the foreign consult resident In the Chinese Empire, are aware bow much the present deplorable state of affairs there is due to Ibe foolhardy acts of foreign traders aod missionaries who have been continually reporting petty events tothe consuls and claiming the help of their native country to secure tbem heavy damages. The acts of these little men may, perhaps, tell for the betterment of the world hy bringing about the fall of the great Chinese Empire and ita dismemberment among civilized nations. THE WOMAN OF THE HOUR Tbeie can be no doubt that the above appellation properly fhs the Dowager Kmpress ef China. Queen Victoria steps for tbe moment into tbe background as the public look tor news of the mistress of China. Born of pour parents near Canton, she became a slave.girl remarkable for her beauty A famous general purchased her and passed her on to tbe Emperor Hsien Feng, who made ber his second wife, very nearly on tbe same footing as hi- first wife who was still alive. On the Emperor's dealh both wives were lefl regents for the young Emperor. The slave girl had nn imperious disposition and soon overruled ber mote yielding rival. She dismissed the Council o' Regency and began placing creature*. of ber own in high places. Shortly after the Emperor came of age his mother died. He soon followed. The slave girl at once proclaimed her nephew Emperor. This was I he present ruler, Kwang sn, then four years nld. In 1880 he was declared of ng>- but continued to let his aunt govern the Empire. After the wai with Japan he tried to accomplish a list of wholesale reforms, hut these created such opposition that tbe the wager Empress had to again reduce him to a mere cipher. This Dowage is to-day the Chinese puzzle. Enn. pean statesmen would like to have all her schemes laid hare befoie them hut the Oriental slave girl is quite competent to give the allied powers a great deal of trouble. Mr. E. F. G. Richards in Greal Thoughts writes that "boundless are the possibilities of that future upon which tbe eyes of Canada are now fixed with confident but questioning hope. We feel dimly the movement of great forces, our veins thrill wilh the Impulse of an eager national life, and tbe figure of our destiny looms splendid and mysterious before us. Rich, almost beyond calculation, is our ritage, material, intellectual, spiri- ual. The area of Canada is 3,486,388 square miles. It constitutes more lhan one-lhird of the whole British Empire, and is only about two hundred thousand fqmire miles smaller than lbe continent of Europe. In other words, if Canada wer» placed upon Europe tbe whole of that continent would lot covered, with the exception of France; or, if lhe United States, without Alas ka, were placed on Canada, British Columbia and half Alherta wnuld he left uncovered. Without ita dependent territory Alaska, lhe United States is four hundred thousand squire miles smaller than Canada. The one Canadian province of British Columbia is larger than France. Italy, Switzerland, and Portugal taken all together. Quebec and Ontario are each larger than the German Empire and Switzerland combined. Nova Scotia is larger than Greece, or Switzerland, or Denmark, or Holland, or Belgium. Yet Nova Scotia ii the second smallest province of Canada. Prince Edward Island is larger lhan Montenegro.

We fcsvs the largest and richest fisheries, Boer Stamp Boom. There is a big Imooi in South African stamps. The war has enhanced tbeir value and has enormously increased tbe demand for Ihem. Several dealers whom a Dally Mail representative consulted yesterday agreed that, there had never heen such a i ush on South African issues. Mr. G. R. Uinn, of the Strand said : "The treat demand just now is for Free State stamps, commandeered by Lord Roberts when he entered Bloenifon- fonlein, and converted with tbe letleis 'V. R.

They were all sorts, from halfpenny up to five shilling stamps. I have sold one of the latter, unused, for £5. The 'Drie Pence Oranje, Vrij Staat,' converted into a 'V. B. I.,' 2'rt.' fetches 7s 9d. Possibly these stamps will soon be worth as many pounds. "Su fur no Mafeking stamps have got on to the market, but they will fetch high prices when they come here. The V. B. I. Free Staters are in high demand, and so will the converted Trunsvaalers be when Lord Boherls issues them. "A complete set of Transvaal stamps would cost over £1,000, for a great variety has heen issued. The Free State, on Ihe other band, bu kepi much In the same grove all along." Some of the old Transvaal stamps, of the British regime of 1877-80, and of the First Republic, now fetch from $90 £50-London Daily Mail. in Brotherly Lava. There waa a strike in a mine at Dale ton, Ohio, and if you guessed for a year yon would not think of the reason. To save mental wear and tear, we hasten to say tbat it was because a mule had been transferred from one part of the mine to another. The miners loved tbat mule "like a very hrithcr," and consequently went out MINERAL UXHTtOOT. JUJiK 28. Garfield, fraction, Greenwood camp, John Dempsey. Jay, fraction, Long Lake camp, Wm. Roe.
