Within three months this great gold-silver mine, ficm levels but a few hu. dred feet below the surface, has distributed no less than $900,000 in dividends, after spending almost as much more in tramway and mill construction and necessary development.'' To the province as a whole, and this northern section in particular, this was most satisfactory news, for it spells an era of prosperity for the whole north land such as has never before been experienced therein; and so in turn will help the entire province to recover more quickly from the ehV-ts of the war. For a showing such as the Premier has made will center on this northern section the eyes of the mining world, particularly in view of the fact that there are many properties in the district awaiting capital to develop them, that have better showings than the Premier ever had, when that now famous mine was in a similar stage of development. These properties will not now be allowed lo lie idle much longer. And in a mineral belt such as this which as yet is only scratched, an era of prosperity is dawning that will overshadow anything ever before experienced in Canada. Pat McBride, who has been working at the Silverado, came down the hill during the week. Pat is very enthusiastic about the property. Times are not the best. But Stewartites are, on an average, disgustingly healthy, voraciously ambitious, and content only with better things���not worse. L. Siem, brother of the man- services; J. M. Horn, general freight agent, both of Vancouver, and G. A. McNicholl, assistant general freight and passenger agent, of Prince Rupert, paid Stewart a visit during the stay of the Albert last Saturday, for ihe purpose of interviewing the executive of the Stewart Citizens' association, in connection with the campaign that, that body has recently been waging against the freight and passenger rates on the government's steamers plying into this port. During the conference, which lasted between two and a half and three hours, the whole transportation problem was most thoroughly gone into, every phase of the situation being dealt with; with the result that the executive were informed that, in addition to the cut of $2.50in the passenger fare, a freight rate ager of the Salmon River Trad- cut of $1 cn oil and disselite, and ing Co., was among the arrivals 160 cents per ton on general cargo meat best, 11.

Another matter that received attention was the unsatisfactory manner in which the company have heretofore notified Stewart of Steamship arrivals, and it was arranged that from now on an official of the company will wire the local wharfinger the time of arrival, and that such wire would not be sent until it was known definitely, to within an hour or so, what time the boat would arrive. The matter of claims was also gone into, and the company officials took notes on several that were brought forward as evidence, with a view to having same cleared up. They explained that this department has now been reorganized and from henceforth they felt sure little difficulty regarding legitimate claims would be experienced.

TIME FOR A MEETING WRANGELL ISLAND IT does not yet appear whether the United States will acquiesce in the act of the Canadian Arctic party which raised the British flag on Wrangell Island and declared the land to be a possession of His Majesty. The proclamation bases this right on the lapse of the claim of the United States, one of whose citizens long ago took possession in the name of the republic. So far as we know neither the British government, the government of the United States, or the government of Canada has yet made any declaration on the matter. If there should be any possible doubt as to the title to this unoccupied territory there is an international court set up for just such purposes. The Hague tribunal has the confidence of the United States and Great Britain. Wrangell Island is not a matter for wrangling. WITH RESERVATIONS THE four-power Pacific treaty has been ratified at Washington, with certain limitations and reservations. These were considered by the delegates to be unnecessary, but they could not well be rejected, as they are in line with the contentions of Senator Lodge and other republicaus when the League of Nations treaty was before the senate. It is not quite clear where these reservations will land the treaty when it comes up for ratification in other countries. The Washington declarations may be passed over as not affecting the main agreement, IT was desirable that the Premier of Northern Ireland and the Premier of Southern Ireland should nu et again and have another friendly discussion. The prospect of their working together in any kind of neighborly relations was not improved by the interchange of long distance accusations that have taken place. It mitfht be well if the chiefs of the north and south would open up with a conservation such as that alleged to have taken place between the governors of North and South Carolina. The Free State treaty was the result of an adjournment of a longdistance controversy and the substitution of an intimate conversation. It is clear that this process must be frequently repeated in order to achieve co-operation. SAVED BY SCIENCE FIFTEEN years' progress in medical and surgical science may have saved 60,000 Canadian soldiers in the late war. In his address to the Canadian Club Dr. Proctor showed that the British lost more men in the Boer war by typhoid fever than were killed or died of wounds. This disease was almost entirely suppressed in the late war. Typhoid and other communicable diseases, blood poisoning and other causes of death which were eliminated or iargeiy overcome, would undoubtedly have doubled the fatalities in the late war if the conditions had been as they were in other great conflicts.

U. S. SOLDIER BONUS THE Soldier Bonus Bill has had an easier time in the United States congress than was expected, though there are yet many obstacles to be overcome.
