This mill was one ot lhe finest equipped and most modern lumbor mills in this district and was erected in 1003 at a Cost of about. $10,000. Thc standard payroll approximated $1.0(10 per month. The capacity of the mill was about 15,000 feet daily. The company have their total winder's cut. nf lo^s aggregating many million feet still in the woods. Mr. Simon Taylor, ihe managing director t'f thc company, was at Yahk at the time nf Hie lire, inspecting the working or his mill there. The burning nf tin' mill was the culmination of a series of misfortunes this year.

Tbe committee of tbo range reported that the necessary, work tn put same in order could be* done for the sum of $100.00 which includes the construction of targets,, excavating pit, clearing brush, flag poles, ami shooting off mounds and, then we shall have one of the best ranges in this province. The assoeia- tinii has now over 150 members on tb? .rollI.and new names are still going on so that a membership of 350 will not he hard to obtain.

WATTS TELLS OK RBCBNTI THI Ah AT MIDWAY FOK INFRACTION OF MINK REGULATIONS. A. 0. Watts is borne again, having returned from Midway, where he at- tendril court to answer alleged charges of infractions of the mining regulations, Mr. Watts pleaded tluit the alleged omissions in complying with thc regulations took place long before he was appointed general man- ager of the lloiindai y Coal Mining company, and that, therefore, those responsible should he proceeded against, thafriie. had since he was general manager Issued written instructions to all the certificated officials employed thai be would hold them responsible in and for obeying these laws and regulations, that the laws were good and the application of tbem necessary, but that he would sec that they were Impartially enforced, against great corporation4, just tho same as they are against the struggling prospectors who are honestly attempting to develop the magniflcent resources of this country. It was pointed oul that under sec. 34 S.S.C. that the whole of the mining regulations were not applicable to the exploratory work of prospectors. Sun-section C. reads as follows: "Provided, however, that this section shall not apply to prospecting or exploratory workings where less lhani ten men are employed underground at any one time unless the chief inspector, hy notice in writing served on the owner or agent of such mine, requires such mine to he under the control of such certificated overman or shift boss, 1911, C. 33, S. 30." The inspector admitted, said Mr. Watts, that such notice had nol been served prior to the date of the alleged omissions to comply with tin- law. The report of Inspector Strachan to tbe department was lead, in which he pointed out that proceedings could not Ih1 taken under the act owing to the provisions contained in sec. .n, ss.e. or tin* coat Mines Regulation Act. It was pleaded that although more than ten men had been employed at one time in and around tlie mine at no time had more ihan ten men been employed at work underground. The chief inspector was asked, said Mr. Watts, what constituted a mine within thc meaning of the act, and he quoted sec. 2, "A mine means a coal mine and includes every shaft in the course of being sunk and every level and inclined plane in tlw course of being drlvtn lor opening any" coal mine, unless tlie context otherwise requires." Therefore, a nolo made in th** ground was q mine within the meaning of the net, and alt tlie regulations of the act were applicable to it. In the course of giving evidence Mr. Watts asked what Ihe context meant as set forth in sec. 34, S.S.A./lf it meant what it says, as Inspector Strachan in his report admits, then loose proceedings, Mr. Watts contended, should not have been taken. If every hole in the ground, according to Inspector Graham, was to be considered as a mine and under the strict regulations of the act, each and every hole made in the ground for prospect ing purposes was illegally made unless under the supervision ol managers, shift bosses and other certificated men, accompanied with barometers, thermometers, ambulance boxes, daily reports, certified plans of the hide or holes. If that was really so, and tlie law was strictly enforced in every ease, we might give up prospecting in Hritish Columbia It would render ordinary prospecting impossible, but that law or regulation was not enforced, except where the Inspectors wished for certain purposes to have it enforced, Mr. Wails declared thnt he had to protect the interests of nearly six hundred shareholders, and for that purpose would make an application to tlw minister of mines, Sir Itichard Motlride, for a thorough investigation to be made in public, so that the people could understand some of the procredfngs of the Inspectors in- prosecuting people who were honestly attempting to develop the great resources of tbe country, and that If a conviction followed appeals would follow that. Mr. Shochotloni, prosecuting attorney, said he would like to have Mr. Watts in Uie supreme court. Mr. Watts called the attention of the/ court to the fact that some nf these charges bad already been tried in "May Inst, that most of thc local magistrates refused io sit; however, the one that did sit dismissed lhe whole ot the charges. Mr. Shoe- bottom, he said, had to import a special Judge on this occasion to support tlie Inspectors, and quoted the fact as showing animus and spleen, lhal a constable bad been specially sent from .Midway to Wattsburg, Incurring extra expense tn serve the summons, whereas il is usually the practice to send them by mail through the police at tbe nearest point to save expense. That al tbe first trial he, Mr Walts, did not attend, but was represented by A. S. I.lack, barrister, who produced no witnesses, the prosecution produced rovcra!, and thc cases were dismissed. On this, occasion Mr. Walls "instructed Mr. Black to answer tbe charges, ^d Wait iufonm*d lhal tbe court would nol proceed without his personal attendance, His counsel wired him lhat a warrant was issued to compel his attendance, The court counsel, inspectors and witnesses awaited the arrival of Mr. Watts from Tuesday, to Friday last, lie pointed out the absurdity of the proceedings, because lie understood thai he had to be convicted, awl was satisfied to. have an appeal to a superior court, bul con tended lluil he was being prosecuted for offences committed or permitted hy others, hut would cheerfully ...accept the decision of the court, which would establish a very useful precedent, if a president of ,, company could Ih* prosecuted personally for the delinquencies of his subordinates, such managing directors, superintendents, managers and officials duly authorized by certificates granted hy the government, then he could have extreme pleasure in applying llie same law and regulations to the presidents of great corporations, and would see that they were applied to the presidents of railway corporations and others, and drew the picture of Sir Thomas Shaugbnessy and other mag' nates being sent in shackles and chains to give evidence before some small local court for offences either permit led or committed against tlie law by Iheir managing directors or superintendents or other officials. Mr. Watts pointed out that one charge was that he did not within 21 holies of an accident al the mine report the same to the inspectors, As a matter of fact, Iu- said, be did not know of it until 48 hours after tbe occurrence, and he tend :nit in tbe Nelson Daily News; also, thai a managing director was ;u charge, that he was not a tit hat time , in- self general manager, that the company employed a superintendent, whose duty il was lo report thc accident, and contended that those really guilty should,be prosecuted, aud not the nominal head of a company who was absolutely Innocent and had no knowledge of tbe affair. Mr. Wntts was fined $75, notice of appeal being given, and Mr. Walts also gave notice that an application would be made to the minister ol mines, Sir Itichard McBride, to gram a public investigation of the actions and conduit of Chief Inspector Graham ami Inspector Strachan, and that all the correspondence between them and tlie department of mints would Im* subpoenaed and made known to the public at the heating. NSPECT GREAT Mil DISTRICT UNEXPLORED HEOION HICII IN MINERAL WEALTH WITH GREAT VKINS OF COPPER. • Joseph Ryan returned to the eity last Monday after spending several days in the White Fish Creek country, where- he was called to inspccl and report on several milling properties- He was nccompan.cd on part of bis trip by tlie Kvans brothers and ihey Inspected the EiVan.v group besides tbe Home group, Alliance group, Basin group and Fallow group. Mr. Ryan reports lhal he found a vein from 8 to 20 feci In width between perfectly clear walls, a fissure veiii'in diorite and extending with two breaks a distance of not less than one and one-halt miles over the Hercules, Hector and Kokance claims and passing under the F.vnus Basin extends on east in a nortlieasterly direction loward Kitchener. This ore assays from 23 to 28 per cent in copper and would average $5.00 in gold, besides carrying a considerable amount ot native copper. He also found a fissure vein from 6 to 8 feet wide on the Pollen group containing an exceptionally high grade of ore. One ol tlie most remarkable discov erics Mr. Ryan made on his trip was a le*d of mineralized rtloritc from 40 to 100 feet In width and with literally millions ol tons of ore in sight. In summing up the result* of his trip Mr. Ryan slated tliat the. White Fish basin nnd thc St. Mary's river basin are yet an entirely unexplored region, which will prove in the future otw of the largest copper producing areas in the world. CHRISTIE WILL ARRIVE NOVEMBER FIRST HANK MANAGER TAKES THREE MONTHS VACATION BEFORI* COMING TO CRANBROOK. ■ 1. M. Christie, manager ol the local branch of the Hank of Commerce, is leaving in tbe course of ,. few days on a three months' vacation in Eastern Canada and on the expiration of lhat time he will take up bis residence in Cranbrook, B.C., where he assumes, the management of Uh* branch of tlte Rank of Commerce. There will be general regret in the city of Prince Rupert at the removal of Mr. Christie. While managers of banks are liable to he changed frequently, Mr. Christie had somehow come lo be looked Upon as a fixture here. lie had grown up with the cily from its very beginning when it was only a camp and had shown wonderful Interest in everything that pertained to thc lire of the place,( Hli intimate knowledge of the business life of the city was regarded as mosl valuable in his bank. His prolonged slay In this branch is an evidence that the headquarters of the Hank o! Commerce appreciated tho value i>i bis services in this respect. The post «t Cranbrook is one that is regarded as more importaol at the present lime than Prince Rupert, li is, in fact, ooe of the best branches of lhe hank in the province, and wilh tht promotion to lhat branch goes an increase iu salary for Mr. Christie. While in common with Uio general practice be accepts tbe promotion lhat is offered, there is evety reason to believe that Mr. Christie leaves Prince Rupert with some reluctance, and he would In* satisfied tg remain here were il not that advancement is thrown his way. While Mr. Christie did not actually open lhe branch of his hank here, he assumed the management very soon afterwards, taking tbe post when it had been in existence only about three months. This was in -hine, 1907| and al that time tho Canadian Hank of Commerce was the only one that was doing business in tlte city. This was on Center street, as the plank trail tliat served as the only "street" in thc "city" was then known. The building was one of the ■'ready mades" that was brought from thc south in sections and put together on the spot. It served as bank and residence until the building at lhe corner ol Second avenue and Third street was occupied, but which later gave plate to the commodious bank quarters that arc now in use. The city of Prince Rupert appealed strongly to him and he entered very fully into the life of the place, taking his part in everything that had for its object ibe advancing of tbe city, lie has ever shown an unbOlindlng faith in Prince Rupert and continues to have the most optimistic feelings with regard to the place. In his le- moval Prince Rupert loses not only the manager of one of its banks, but loses a valuable citizen. Mrs. Chris- tic will also Im* missed among a wide circle of acquaintances that she made in the city, and there will tie general regret at her leaving. The management of the local branch will Ih* arsumed by Frank F Haninglon is not a stranger in this Haninbton is not a si ranger in this city, having been accountant here in lhe bank for some time nnd later manager of the Stewart branch ol llie hank. Mr. and Mrs. Christie will leave here on July 28th on a three months' holiday in the east. Following tills leave of absence they will proceed to Cranbrook and take up their resid encc ihere.—Prince Rupert Journal, , FERNIE The Michel mines operated by the Crows Nest Pass Coal company were thrown open for worb yesterday, having been closed fur a weak owing to a grievance by some of the miners.

The United States department of agriculture figures that toe average actual cost of all the wheat raised in the United .States Is 58 cents a bushel. Dr. J. H. Worst, president of the North Dakota Agricultural college, finds that the potash, phosphoric acid and nitrogen removed from the soil by a bushel of wheat, when Bg- Ured at market prices, is worth tfii cents. This brings the actual cost of every bushel of wheat raised in America, on the average, lo $1.04). But the farmers of American never gel such an average price as that. Look at the figures below: Value of wheat and wheat (lour exported from thc U.S., 1907-11, S5..0,- 000,000.00. Cost of growers, including loss of fertility, $606,000,000.00, Loss to country in fertility ft U'U-. per bushel, S27O.000.0O0.M. Loss to growers over and above selling price, 176,000,000.00. In other words, for every seven dollars' worth of wheat exported |q tlw live years quoted, eight dollars was spent or exhausted in soil fertility lo produce it. Also, and this is a still more serious angle of the problemi for every seven dollars' worth of wheat exported nearly four dollars was taken out of the country in the form oi potash, phosphoric acid and nitrogen, This is robbing the soil with a vengeance against the time of our children's children. Some day the American farmer will pay for bis carelessness and his devotion to the ont-crop system, A revised system ol (arm management which will permit the maintenance of fertility docs not mear, a lessened production of wheat. Fed land Kill fiirmyh an increased yield per acre to offset the seasons devoted to oilier factors in a proper crop rotation. The German wheat average is 33 bushels per acre, hut the Herman farmer dot's not grow wheat on the same land every year. Many an American has halved his acreage and doubled his yield. It may be a century before the country at large has done as much; but you can do It within ,t few years. Why not?

Moose Jaw, Sask., Aug. 4.—Tbe city council has passed a resolution condemning a local paper, the Evening Times, for its front page editorial on tht* financial conditions of tbe' city.' In part, the resolution reads as follows: "That tbis council desires to place on record its strong disapproval on tbe article published recently, owing to it* gross misstatements ol local conditions, wherein the credit ot the city and \is business men is impugned, and that a oopy of this resolution he forwarded to the hoard of trade with the request that support be given tbis motion with a view to restoring confidence in the city which has been seriously impaired by tbe publication aforesaid."

C, Aagnst 7th, 1913 GHRISTtAN SCIENCE Editor Cranbrook Herald: A Simple Treatment that Will Make Hair Orow Now Sold in Canada the ot EDITORIAL NOTES A DESPICABLE ATTEM1T. Attention has already been drawn in The Sun to tho mischevious attempts heing, made by Conservative politicians to employ tlie visit of the New Zealand fur party purposes. To Sir Richard McBride and Hon. J. !>■ lliueii, the Dominion minister of naval allairs. belongs the .credit lor beginning and encouraging this des- ploablo campaign. Since these gentlemen were pleased to express thc sense of shame, at being Canadians. awakened in them by the sight ol the battle cruiser New Zealand, every little partisan hanger-on and every emotional individual whose imperialism Is of the unthinking kind, have been proclaiming their humiliation, as citizens of this country, because our Dominion did nol lake precedence of our sister dominion in contribute ■ing a battleship In tlie admiralty, and because tlie parliament al Ottawa decided aeainst tile policy of contribution. It is time thai a check was pnl lo this effusively sentimental nonsense which is simply intended to Influence improperly the minds of the public at the present time. It is, loo, in the worst ol had taste thai the visit ol the New Zealand should lie made use ol. for such a despicable purpose. Wc cannot but commend lo the consideration ol the citizens- of Hritish Columbia the very appropriate remarks of Capt, llalsey, at (he luncheon at the Canyon View hotel yesterday, when Reeve May, ol North Vancouver district, in toasting the guests, vraturcd the opinion, in tliat effusively crawling' spirit applauded by his party managers, that Canada should be ashamed of herself, for letting New Zeatad get ahead of hot in tbe matter of contribution. "I am perfectly certain," said Captain llalsey, "that Canada is as loyal and patriotic a dominion of the empire as any other part. I am sure that everyone in Canada wants to do his share of the work ol empire building, and I know perfectly well lhat il is not a ease of dollars and cents at all. It is a ease that you have nol quite made up your minds which Is tlie right thing lo do. But that you will do something and tliat your choice will be right we all know. I do not agree that you should lie ashamed localise New Zealand sends a message to the empire in the shape of Ihis ship which I have ihe honor to command. I <!a not think thai you need be at all ashamed, because, as I have already- said, Canada is going lo do what is right and whnl she will do will be well done." Canada, as Captain llalsey said, will do Hie right thing; nor will she allow herself to Im stampeded into doing the wrong thing, to serve the purposes of a party machine and an embarrassed administration. Canada is prepared, as Sir Wilfrid laurier said, with that thorough impcr- 'ialism which possesses the minds of all bis followers, to spend her last dollar in defence of Ihe empire. But she is hardly prepared to waste her subslnncc in making effective n policy which has not in it the elements ol permanence and strength. The -contribution programme will never mean more than a gilt of dollars; a policy of national construction and ownership will imiin that the navy will become part ami parcel of our lite and progress as a people and that we shall foster and take pride in it as the medium by which we can add our full strength as a vigorous and self- reliant nation to the strength of the mother country when the time arrives that our assistance will bo required to arsert and maintain her supremacy on Ihe sea.—Vancouver Sun. Dear Sir: Having noticed in press ol recent months a number articles on the subject ot mental healing, thinly disguising the cult known as Christian Science, 1 greatly desire space iu your valuable columns, to divulge to many of your interested readers, the conclusions of a serious student of both the above systems. Believe mc that 1 approach thc subject with open and unbiased mind. In thc main, there are three reasons tor dealing with these subjects through the medium of the public press, viz., the superficial impressions the public generally entertain concerning these matters; thc disastrous effects of the doctrines ot Christian Science upon thc faith ot believers; thc unspeakably damaging effects upon those who have not como to that experience of saving faith in lesus Christ as Saviour. A recent public utterance of thc writer concerning Christian Science has been condemned by some;, by others it has been commended. On the solicitation of many, and for the benefit of all, wc consent to give broader treatment of the subject and wider circulation to our conclusions. We shall quote verbatim, when tlie passages an- not too extended, from the 120th edition ot Christian Science and Key to the Scriptures. The writer invites comparison of quotation with the text. To those who possess copies ot the above work issjued"prev- ious to the 1909 edition, wo would say the editiim of that date, and no doubt all subsequent editions, was completely recast in the order ol chapters, and rewritten, toning down and otherwise concealing the meaning of many passages in the editions issued previous tt, the above date. The apparent motive of the author for such a recast ol a work, assumed to lie inspired ot Clod, was to throw into confusion the references to pa^e and chapter used by various writers exposing the subtle teachings of thc book. 1 desire to acknowledge my indebtedness to Rev. l. M- Haldeman for valuable suggestions contained in his work "Christian Science in the Light of Holy Scripture," also to Dr. A. T. Sehodcld lor his "Force ot Mind or Thc Mental Factor in Medicine,' also lo Dr. l'aul Dubois for his "Psychic Treatment ol Nervous Disorders." Christian Science purports to lie The Key to thc Scriptures. Wc shall first examine it in this light and then see If It has anything to oiler the sick for their healing. Wc grant Mist this so-called science procures results in healing. We deny absolutely that the theories set forth in this system are necessary to those results. CHRISTIAN SCIKNSK AND MAT- TEH. Pago. 173. Nothing we can say or believe regarding matter is true, except that matter Is unreal, and is therefore a belief, which has its beginning and ending. It is a falsi' supposition, thc notion that there Is real substance matter, thc opposite ol spirit. That matter is substantial ... is one ol Uie lalse beliefs ol mortals. Thc admission that there can be material substance requires another admission — namely, that is self-creative, sclf-eiist- ent, and therefore eternal matter. Matter has no place in Spirit, and Spirit has no place in matter. The conventional firm (union) called matter and mind, Clod never formed. Matter examined in the light of Christian Science disappears, Matter is not created by,, mind or lor thc manifestation or support of mind. Error alone presupposes man to be both mind and matter. Matter will finally be proven to be nothing but a mortal belief. What you call matter was originally primitive error in solution, alias mortal mind. The burnt finger is burnt hy mortal mind. Thc body cannot be weary any more than an inanimate wheel, lor both are alike matter. Onder Is a quality ol mind, not of matter. Flowers, trees, plants, cte., arc ideas of mind. Generation rests on no sexual Every up-to^late woman should have radiant hair. There arc thousands of women with harsh, failed, characterless hair, who do not try to improve it. In England and Paris women take pride in having beautiful hair. Every Canadian woman can have lustrous and luxuriant hair by using SALVIA the Creat American Sage Hair Tonic. Every reader of the Herald can have an attractive head of hair in few weeks by using SALVIA. All first-class druggists sell large bottle lor SO cents, and guarantees it to banish dandruff, stop falling hair and itching scalp in ten davs, or money back. SALVIA is a beautiful, pleasant, non-sticky Hair Tonic. 171.

Paul: Know ye not that your bodies are tlie temples ol tlw Holy Ghost which dwellcth in you? Man has no material body, therefore he cannot lie sick, weary, cannot suffer, die. All the Hible records of man's sufferings, sicknesses, death, never was, nor could he, except as the man himself hy false belief gave them existence. The marriage tie may be dissolved or discontinued, for when Christian Science comes to its own there will be no need ol it. lor thc propagation of the race. No doubt this is Insufficient to reveal the utter unreliability of this science to give us light on the material things- in which we live. We shall deal next with Christian Science and sin and evil.

The writer has quoted at length, but by no means exhaustively, t„ assure the doubtful reader of his honest intentions. Scores ol passages witli like meaning could have been used, but to no purpose. Thc first'named principle is one of the two great fundamental principles of Christian Science, viz: Uio denial of thc existence of matter and the infinity ot Mind, God. If Mind, God Is all, -there is no room for matter. Some conclusions we must draw it thc above quotations be true. God never created thc heaven and the earth. God never formed man out of thc dust ol Uie earth. That God made the earth out of "primitive error" or falsehood.
