No Advertising Aeeepted for First Page NUTS NOT HARVESTED Speaking of nuts reminds us of an experience in batching. We expeoted company one day and decided lo bake a cake. We knew a shacker who had accumulated a cook book somehow, and we borrowed it. Giving the list of cake recipes the once over, we selected one that didn't call for separating the white of an egg from the yolk, which is a sleight of hand performance that no batch should be permitted to attempt and live. Well, this recipe called for "a piece of butter the size of a nut." "Clear as mud!" we rejoiced." "Transparent as the innermost thoughts of a chicken!" But at that it took some cogitation. Nuts are of various-sizes; there is the chinkapin nut, about as big as a grey- back and a-half; then there is the cocoa- nut, which resembles a city-editor's head when he was about four years old, before his head commenced to swell. "Butter the size of a nut." Yes. Just so. Wonder what size the nut was who compiled this cook book. We returned the book and stewed a gold-pan full of dough-nuts in boiling lard. A dough-nut is a chunk of sweetened sourdough, wrapped around a one-inch hole, and cooked as above. THEORIES EXPLODED The annual discussion is on through the columns of city papers as to the reasons for spelling Christmas "Xmas." Theologians, archaeologists, ethnologists and other high-brows who possess less practical knowledge than a ditch digger, are propounding deep and profound theories. Some maintain that the X stands for a cross; others, that the early Christians adopted the picture of a fish as sort of an identification brand, and the Greek sign for a fish was an X. Any printer could tell them that Xmas is used in place of Christmas because the latter word is too long to be used in an ordinary display advertisement. Thus are theories shattered by facts. Good roads may be regarded as a luxury from a tourist point of view, but they are an absolute necessity if the rich resources of the province are to be developed.���Western Canada Mining News.

This fall might now be said to be over, and still, in glancing around, we note quite a crop of nuts that have not yet been harvested. The Mining tree has been profusely grafted and produces a variety of nuts; some of them: The group of men, calling themselves a mining company, who expect to make a mine with the expenditure of a few hundred dollars. The brainless wonder who thinks every property incorporated is bound to make a mine. His brother, who believes the quota- tations on the stock exchange boards represent the value of the properties stocked. The prospector who stakes more claims than he can do assessments on. The blank-blank blanketer who buys lead-pencils instead of dynamite. The claim owner who thinks it is too much hard work to nail a sign to a tree on the main trail giving directions how to find his ground. His brother who wants a million dollars for a claim with no wood, no water, no cabin, no trail, no work and no commercial ore in sight. His cousin who will not shoot into ore for fear he might blow it out. The promoter who lies to the public and the city papers. His brother who tries to fool the home paper that knows the facts. The "mining writer" who doesn't knew a piece of porphyry from a piece of buffalo chip. The paper that prints his stuff. The "wise business man" who says all mining stoek promotions are crooked. The ore sampler who can't keep his fingers off the high-grade. The elaim owner who fails to assay everything he is not sure about. The developer who quits a shaft, drift or crosscut without putting in another round of shots. The prospector or miner who tamps a hole with an iron epeon or opens a box of keaps while smoking.
