The Invicta Placer Company, an old company properly, and which operates on Wild llorso creek, In the l'ort Steele mining division, has been reconstructed. Tiie now company that talcs its place is tlie Kast Kootenay Consolidated, Ltd. The capital is JCl.W.OlX) sterling. The operations will at once commence on a large scale on the arrival of Mr. Young, the manager and engineer, who is expected daily. There is and will be some considerable mining activity in South East Kootenay tliis summer and many new ventures will be organized in tko Old Country to operate in this district. The l'ort Steele Development Syndicate, Limited, has been registered. Tiie capital is iio.OOO in .��100 shares. Objects: To acquire, develop, turn to account and deal with any gold mining and timber properties in Uritish Columbia or elsewhere. The Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company, Ferine (so named after one of its directors, Mr. William Fornio), will soon bo in :i position, as soon as the railway is open for traffic, to supply the American aud Canadian smelters in Montana, Idaho, Washington and British Columbia, which are at present using the Welsh coal, costing them from $lti to $18 per ton. The co'y will be abb to furnish better coke to tho two Canadian plants at Trail aud Nelson for Sf7 per ton. It will be higher delivered iu tlie States. The Crow's Nest coke contains 05 per cent. Used carbon and only -1 per cent. ash. liy thi. reduction in the price of fuel the smelters will be able to save $1.50 per ton in the cost of treating ore. The present consumption of coke at tlie smelters which the company can supply is as follows: Northport, 40 tons per day; Trail. CO tons; Hall Mines. -10 tons; Evorot, CO tons j Tucoiua, 40 tons; Great i Falls, 150 tons; Helena, 50 tons; Unite and Anaconda, 400 ions. At the outset the company will require to furnish .**'40 tons a day. The Hon. C. 11. Mackintosh, of the Uritish America Corporal ion, lias bought some stock in Halcyon Hot Springs and secured an option on tho greater part of the balance. A larsie addition is to be built to the present buildings. A bottling works will lie operated as soon as a plant can be brought from Minneapolis. The water will be aerated, and when bottled will be Bold ail over the continent. Mr. Mackintosh was at the Springs this week completing arrangements and taking up some oi the options that he hail secured. James Lewis k Son, Liverpool, iu their monthly report for June, 1808, on ores and metals give lhe following quotations: Gold���77s. i').jd. per ounce Standard; silver fell from 20 3-lCd. to 25J���il on the (ith nit., but lias since advanced to -li?���d. per ounce Standard in consequence of an active demand for Spain for coinage purposes.

Prospectors are continuing to! come over the trail from West Kootenay, i and several investors have conic in from ; thu south, from fort Siecle direction,; and there is every indication that there! will be a brisk mining camp at Winder-! mere. One of the boys showed Thu Haw a chunk of gray quart*', weighing I about ten pounds, whicli made tho eyes glisten and'tho voiccquivor with " wliere did you got that?" "1 cannot tell," was the laconic reply; "but. what do you think of it?" " Think of it? Why, there is $20 oi gold in sight 1 " There is no mistake as to tho richness of the specimen. " Hut are these not pyrites? " " No pyrites tiiere of either iron or copper." The prospector regarded it as a good specimen oi whitish quartz, which iB generally found in the form of capping with a considerable amount of pyrites in it. Tlie assay should go as high as *���!��! per ton. The quar)?. was not found on Ottertail. Hen Abel has bonded his mineral claims, including the Mineral King on Toby creek, Windermere division, to a Butte syndicate for $15,000. The lirst. payment is due ou the 10th of July. ZYMEAN. A PEVOLUTION IN THE TREATMENT OF ORES By a new Inventive Discovery.���Cyanide, Amalgamation and other Processes will soon Become Obsolete.���A Description or the Process. A new process iu the treatment of ores .ciiiin which,con {easily be made whera lima and sulphur nre available The coppor is usually procipittited by wrought I iron. Antimony mav be Ion in solulio.i and both it andjtrsenic can I... precipitated separately,tho formorasn sul-.hid,*. and the latter as a v hit,* orsonic. Thorn will always he a'grca; deal of iron i:, tho solution, and this can be extracted by the use of llmo. If after all this il - solution"*bo ovaporatcd, it will he found has just been found out, which promises j that tie., bulk of tlu salt left is chlori.i i to create a perfect revolution in metallurgy, This new process is the Zymean process, so called as it is a fermenting or eating up process. Under this process the ores are pulverized, then by chemical action dissolved into a solution and from this solution the metals aro taken out in a metallic state. Under this process all metal can be extracted from mineral without any substance oi the mineral being lost or wasted. Tut: Mi.viat recently witnessed some interesting experiments by the new process conducted by Mr. Cordon dimming Keith, M.E., (iolden. The new process may thus be shortly described: Tor experimental purposes take 1,80-1 troy grains equal 4 assay Ions of any ore containing sulphur and metals (or if without sulphur a sulphurous ore may be mixed with it) crush fine. Now take a flask A which is *-,, filled with water saturated with salt. Introduce the ore through a funnel into the flask, put from SO to 40 cubic centimetres of dlcbloridc of sulphur aud tt table-spoonful oi nitrate of soda. Heat tho water hut don't boil or allow to get beyond 21*1 degrees F. If it does there might ben tendency to boil over throwing oft' suddenly a quantity of nitrous acid gas. In such a ease as boiling over which never occurs twice with the same charge, it is well to have a cffomlBt'fl glove* on the right band, for three strong acids are being dealt with though in a diluted state. From the first heating sulphurous nitres and hydrochloric acid gases will be passing off. tiie latter persistently, to the end of the operation. The two lormernre collected in a flask 1��, contning water, and are there partially condensed. The flasks A and 11 to be connected by tube, vulcanised preferred. Tlie connection to be made immediately tlie introduction of the dicliluride of su|phur as its dissociation into chlorine and sulphurous acid begins ns it enters the water. Tliis is in fact the key whicli unlocks the whole of the subsequent reactions. Tests are to bo made during the boiling by taking out a small quantity of the solution with a pipette and testing it for the different metals suppofed tojie contained. If for copper add ammonia in a test tube, heat up once ot* twico nnd aot aside to settle, In about 20 minutes the blue color will show by its intensity the amount, of copper taken out. If this docs not increase between any two tests the whole of the I ^Jj'���r Ul| copper in the ore has gone into solution. All othor metals much quicker. Filter off for sulphur through a cane sieve which will take out the large pieces of sulphur. Tht' residue on the filter ought to be free of all metal, but with long heating the sulphur may contain some, lloth should be assayed. On the purification of the sulpliurbysublimation any metal it may contain may bo recovered. If iu the residue on the filter any metal is contained it is because the process lias not beon continued long enough or it may he some-times, hut rarely, that tho gold in the ore is in the stato of skey���a combination of sulphur and gold and hard to separate���where there is an external coating of sulphur, hut even then a little more dichlorido of sulphur would probably remove it at less cost tin."i igniting (not roasting) the ore before boiling which can be done. If the operation has been properly conducted all the metals will now be in a solution and only lead will prccipiate itself largely, hut not completely, if the solution be allowed to cool down. But this ii of sodium and no, sulphate of aodn, as might have been expected. Thi,. fact makes the process largely a recuperative on,- and therefore the more valuabl but is a great punxje lo those chemist i who wiil not recur to Sir i|. Haw's assertion about chloride of sodium ti.-t being muriate of soda. It is I,,,- ih-. ]���;,-. poses ol this process an ore of sodium and sodium is chlori.iized as easily as any other metal. The dichloride of sulphur is easily made on the spot from the sulphur recovered from tiie ore plus chlorine also recovered from hydrochloric acid given off daring the boiling by electric decomposition. Nitrate of soda can also be similarly made. Thus the wholo process becomes self-supporting with il o exception of probably 1 per cent, of salt lost mainly by efflorescence nr leakng , about one-fourth of what is now lo... in roasting the ore with salt on Iho largo scale. In this process wooden vats are employed for boiling and precipitation. Theso can be made at very little cost. The waste steam of Iho crushing machinery is all that is used to boil the ore. Earthenware vats are preferable but. cannot always be obtained. The charges may ho any number of tons which the boiling vat will hold at one time and the quantity treated per day of 24 bourse ban no practical limit other than what can he produced irom the mine. As hydrochloride acid and diluted sulphuric acid are a result of the process, these may bo recovered and used 11 hasten the work ii desired, parti-ularl..' the former if lime is present as a constituent, ol the ore. Such was tho brief description given Tut: JhxKi: of this process while Mr. Gordon Cummings Keith was conducting the experiments in the presence of several mining men belonging to Kast Kootenay, showing how the ores after being pulverized are dissolved into a solution and then the various metals* extracted in a metallic form. Mr. Keith has acquired a concession for th.. now process and ii is tlio intention to erect works at Golden, Vancouver and llos - land for the teaching of tiie process. It is estimated that thu cut of works capable of treating 800 tons per day wil amount to about $20,000. single ton charges aro best (tlvo chargoB In ail) of one ton each, so that if any one of them was to go out of order theie would he i. . stoppage of the works until repairs wee executed. Works on a smaller scale can easily be erected, and tiiere is no reason why every shipping mine with a lege output should not have ils own Works, for the treatment oi its ores. It Is estimated that lhe cost, of extracting ore hy this new process will not exceed u .1 Mr. Keith leaves this week for the i'] 1 Country ami will be absent for threo months perfecting and completing his arrangements, a,a! on his return the teaching of the new process will at once he proceeded witli.

Tlie lumber from its superior quality and manufacture commands a ready market and is utilized for many purposes, from railway ties up to the most highly decorated furnishings. The Government Cabinet at Victoria is to bo reconstructed or renovated and certain districts in the Province have been invited to send certain quantities oi lumber for this purpose. Tho Cabinet may lie beyond repair owing to aye anil decay in which case it will require to be entirely reconstructed. Atoll events its condition is sueh that it needs renovation. The electors iu each district have the right to select the lumber, and those in East Kootenny as well as those in other districts Ibid that owing to the superior competitive merits of their lumber the task is by no means an easy one. In most districts as in North Kust Kootenay the selection has boon narrowed down to a choice between two. The electors in North Easl Kouteuay are divided on lhe Pallisor and Beaver lumber. One sot of electors wisli the lumber to be selected from the Palliser mills. Another sot of electors desire the lumber to be sent from the Heaver mil!.. Unless their choice becomes unanimous a vote will require to bo taken, ns the lumber cannot be sent from both mills. Both sets claim the superiority of the lumber they favor. Each according to an Irishman's version is better than the other. It is all quality and no fault. It is the finest grained wood that ever was grown and takes on a most beautiful polish. There is no immaturity nor greenness about it. It is well seasoned. There nre no knots nor guarls nor twists in it and it is impervious to the wet. It does not like some lumber exude pitch so that there is no chance of doilloment with contact Nor does it give off nny oily secretions which might adhere to the palm of the hand. Another merit it has is ils adaptability and pliancy lo suit all seasons and all climes. How the selection will be made from such moritorius lumber time will determine on the Oth oi July but the electors have a difficult task to perform. an.I denouncing those who criticize it a: " sniffing " anil " yelping jackals."

Acetylene, the new illuminating gas which has caused so much interest oi late, is now entiling rapidly into use, and many hotels, places of business and public institutions arc lit up with it. The thit.ie is one of the whitest lights ever produced, and even an Incandescent light becomes yellow when placed beside an acetylene burner. It ia claimed for the acetylene llaine that it is a3 white as sunlight itself, and that colors retain their true tone when shewn by it. As ior the heat produced, it ia about one- third cooler than the ordinary coal gas jet. The appmatus used in producing the gas is a small sheet iron tank in whicli the fluid is generated, and another in which it is stored. Ordinary piping is used in conducting it, and the burner if different only in that tho tip is supplied with two small holes instead of one. The gas is made by immersing calcium carbide i:i water. The carbide is a gray mineral made of lime and coal dust heated together in au electric furnace. It cosls aliout seven cents per pound, and one pound wiil make live and one- half feet of gas. It is estimated that the average cost of tho light will bo two- thirds ol a cent por hour for each burner of 25 candle power, The apparatus for the production of tho gas ranges in eosl from f*50 upwards. The Niagara Falls Acetylene (las Company manufacture thc apparatus used in the production of this gas. The enterprising proprietor of the Columbia House, (Iolden, Mr. William McNolsh, will shortly introduce this gas into his hotel, which has been recently reconstructed and enlarged, and is being finished and furnished in a style that will make it one of the best up-to-date hotels to be found in llritisli Columbia.

The Sun, Now Westminster, in commenting on tho political contest in the South Hiding of East Kootenay, thus contrasts tho tivo candidates: The Hon. Col. Ilaker is a gentleman, who has occupied a prominent place in the Legislature of this country since 18811. For the last six years he has discharged the duties of Provincial Secretary, Minister of Education and Minister of Mines, in a manner which has proved to bo acceptable to everyone. Besides he is a gontleniau in every respect���a man who has served his Queen and country���and has a largo stake in this Province, and especially so in tho constituency which he is certain to again represent. On the other hand, his opponent, Mr. William Uaillie, who is presently connected with the Fort, Steele Prospector, although he has been a resident in the country for some years, is still without any stake or interest therein. It goes without saying that the electors oi that section of the Province will give him the cold shoulder. Mr. llaillie i3 no stranger to this section of the country ho having been a resident in Vancouver and Now Westminster for some time, and likewise for a short period in Kamloops. For a few mouths past he has beon connected with the Prospector, at Fort Steele. In point o( ability or in any other respect he is not to bo compared to tlio gallant Colonel. It is likewise reported that thero were other, and more eligible candidates, in the Opposition interests, than Mr. Bail- lie, for the latter of whom many pronounced Oppositionists, we understand, will not vote. Mr. Baillie and a few of his friends so manipulated the convention that tho choice of that body fell upon bim, and if our information is correct, and it has been gleaned from all sections of the riding, uu ignominious defeat awaits him. Ho is regarded by a large number of the people thero as a mere adventurer, concerning whom the vast majority of tlie people express themselves as being in thorough hostility. If the Opposition party in South East Kootenay desired to give Colonel Baker a *��� brush " for tho coveted position, surely they had bettrr men within the ranks than the person wc are referring to, who is, to say the least, a comparative stranger without any stake or interest in that riding. The voters cannot possibly make a mistake in marking their ballots for Col. Baker, who has proved himself to be not only tho sincere friend of Kootenny, but likewise of all sections of the Province. The manner in which ho has discharged the duties of his ollice litis demonstrated him to be an able, as well as a conscientious administrator of tlie affairs of the Provincial Secretary's ollice, tho Department of Education, and the Minister of Mines, all of which demand prompt attention mid great executive ability, which Col. Baker possesses to an eminent degree. "I Was On The Merrlmac"- " I was on the Mcrrimac "���" So more," the listener died; "The best is nono too good for you; come on, just step inside; Now cat your Illl at my expense, and name your brand of wino; For heroes such ns you, my boy, the best is none too fine I" " I was on tho Mcrrimac " " I know," the listener cried; " You rushed into that seething hell, nnd death itself defied; And now from Spanish dungeons you iu some heroic style Have slipped away and fooled thorn, I can sec it in your smile I" " I was on tlio Mcrrimac " " Yes, yes," the listener said, " The laurel wreath is waiting to adorn your gallant head; And Fame is sitting smiling just as happy as can lie, All ready now to hand your namo to Immortality." " I was ou the Mcrrimac" "Alial" tho listener sighed; " To think tiiut you should get away ami stem tho roaring tide I To think that 1 should see the day I'd grasp a hero's hand, Especially a hero such ns formed young Ilobsoii's band. " I was on (he .Mcrrimac, no interruptions, please; llecause some explanation now will set UB at out onse; I was on the Morriinac a day or two before Tho Govornmont took chnrgo of her, down there in Baltimore!" -Baltimore News. MISCELLANEOUS. " Seemed to be some trouble at the Bugle ollico this morning." " There was. They tried to speak of Battle's wife as ' well known in polite circles,' tnd the printer made it' police circles.'" A woman with one eye applied nt the State department the other day (or a passport. The diplomatic clerk who tilled out the paper, discretely inserted the following description in the blank opposite: "Eyes, dark, soft, full of expression, ono of them being absent." A man in Musknka, who had some horses to sell, wrote to a friend iu Ottawa, asking if they could bo sold in that city. Tho friend replied ; " The people of Ottawa ride bicycles, tlie wagons are pulled by mules,'the Htreet cars arc run hy olectricity, and tlie government is run by jackasses, so there is po demand for horses here." A NEW TELEGRAPH LINE Bein? Run From Montreal to Vancouver. The Western Telegraph Company is running through a new telegraph wire betweon Vancouver and Montreal. The wire is entirely constructed of copper. Linesmen are busily employed in putting it through. The work is being done in throe sections, ihe first of which extends from Vancouver to Donald, the second from Donald to Fort William and tho third from Fort William to Montreal, The length of wire is about 2,1100 miles. The wire is manufactured by the Dominion wire Manufacturing Company and is thoroughly tested to see that tlie contract for the manufacture is lieing complied witli. It must be .1117 of an inch in diameter; one one-thousandth of an incli only of a variation being allowed above or below this gauge. It must be perfectly cylindrical and must weigh 300 pounds to the mile; four pounds of a variation being allowed in this distance. Frequent, electrical tests are made upon pieces one one-hundredth of a mile in length, to determine the purity of copper used, which must be 117 per cent. Each bundle of wire weighs 170 pounds, and ttic wire must bo in one continuous length, without joint or break. Each six indies of wire must be capable of being twisted thirty times at a uniform speed of one twist a second. The tests show that it will stand forty to fifty twists before breaking. It must stand six close turns around another wire ol equal diameter and bo unwound without breaking. It must also stand nn average breaking strata of 1175 pounds, and before breaking it. must have stretched at least one per cent. This wire is being placed on porcelain insulators. A great deal of trouble has been experienced by telegraphic companies, through wires coming in contact with each other, through the breaking of the glass insulators hy which the wires are attached to the poles. A test wus therefore made with a view to ascertaining the comparative resistance of glass and porcelain insulators,.with the result that it was found that porcelain resisted much heavier and a greater number of blows than glass. Teats were also made with a thirty-two calibre revolver from a distance of eight feet. The glass Hew to pieces nt nearly every shot, while the porcelain frequently showed no mark, save the lead from the bullet, and when they did break it was in such a way that, had they been attached to the polo, tho wires would not have been affected. The new wire will follow tho line of the C. P. R. the whole way irom coast to coast. ALL-WORLD ROUTE TO YUKON Through Canadian Territory Is by the Valley Whloh Dame Nature Has Formed Alone the Western Side ofthe Rocky Mountains, It is only a matter of timo when this route must be adopted as the All-World route through Canadian territory to the Yukon. It would open up Canada irom south to north ami divert the whole tralHc now going to the Yukon, so that tho whole of it would puss through Canadian territory ns lhe most expeditious route to Alaska, Yukon and Mackenzie. All other routes have been condemned, and because this route was the easiest and most feasible it was overlooked, ns it did not present any difficulties but what could be readily overcome; so that not much money would be required to bo expended compared with other routes. There would be no chance of granting big subsidies as illustrating tlie feasibility of this route. Tub Mixkr in the course of many conversations with prospectors, hunters and trappers familiar with tho region extending from the Arctic circle along tho base of tho western Rockies right down into Idaho and Montana, in the United States, has ascertained that it is quite possible to travel Irom Bonnur's Ferry on thc Kootenay rivor, Idaho, to Grout Slave Iaike, in the Arctic regions. The natural valley or depression which extends along tho west side of the Rockies is moro than 1,000 miles in length. Starting from Joining's Landing in a canoe, tho Kootenuy river would lie followed upwards to near the bridge ot Canal Flat. Hero this rivor would bo left antl there would Ira a portago of about a mile to the Upper Columbia lake, then down the lakes anil down the Columbia river until the great bond'is reached. There would bo two small portages to avoid rapids and currents. From the groat bend tho Canoe river, which empties into the Columbia hero, would bo followed to near its sourrc, where there is a portogo of about half a mile to Cranberry lake, which empties into Swift river, a tribtitaryof the Eraser river, which would bo followed until the Gascoino Porterage Hero a crossing would ho made to tho Parsnip river which empties into tho Great Slave Lake. A journey that can bo made thus shews that there are no natural dillicul ties to overcome in forming a great highway of travel. PROCLAMATION. [LH.] THUS. R, McINXES. PRQVINSB OF niilTISH COl.UMMA.

S. McCarter.. CO THE ELECTORS OF THE NORTH HIDING OF FAST KOOTENAY: My nomination as an Opposition Cnn- lldato in tlu* approaching General Election for our Legislature, calls on mu to -tatu to you briefly, the course, which in mv opinion, 1 should take if elected us your Representative. So far as 1 have been able to measure the fueling of this Constituency, it is one of disappointment in tho administration oi our Provincial affairs, ln the present contest 1 am glad to say, we are not so divided on parly lines, as lo dobar us from taking our choice of men IhiouglKiiit tho Provinco for thu ensuing parliamentary term,and itisto lie hoped that nn independent effort will be made in this direction. Holding the opinion, us I do, that the record of the present Government, iu the disposal ot public lands, and their administration of the Provincial finances, not having been such as to command my support, it is my plain duty, for the present, to claim your suffrages ns un Opposition Canili- dnto. Tllfs does not necessarily mean that I must place myself in such ante gonisui to any administration, as to defeat what should be my primary object as a Representative, namely, the interest of my own Constituency. Nor does it mean that I am in full alliance with the Opposition party as it has stood before the Legislature ilurin-; thu past four years. For this reason, if no other, I would ask at the hands oi my constituents, if eluded, a froo indulgence of my own judgment as lo the course 1 should adopt in this particular respect. I look for at least a reconstruction as the result of thc general election, and that we may have au administration fully meeting tho demands of our rising Province, Tlio large appropriation ot $5,000,000 under the recent Public Works Loan Amendment Act, while indicating a generous tendency in the disposal of public funds, cannot meet the approval f interior constituencies. Vi'enroin- erestcd in something more than build- ng np our terminal cities, and..the xehisive welfare of districts immediately tributary to thom. It will therefore, be Hrst contention that substantial justice should he given to the eastern portion of this Province, as compensation for the enormous appropriation made directly, 1 consider, iu the interest oi Coast constituencies, for which wu too have to bear oui* share of tho burthen. In this connection, 1 may say that the terms subsidising lhe Teslin Lake Railway have my approval us a legitimate business transaction, apart from other considerations, and whicli are: First, whether thoro is an urgent necessity to build, at present, tbo southern portion of this line; and secondly, whether we havo not been ton precipitate in snatching from tlie Dominion Government, a responsibility which rightly belongs to it, in the interest of eastern provinces, moie than to Uritish Columbia. We have, within ourselves, sufficiently attractive features in our vast mineral resources, to fully warrant tho Investment of capital and the influx of population, or in other words, we have ourown affairs, to whioh it might he butter, at present, that we give oar undivided consideration. 1 mean hy Ibis that, being so wholly do- pendent as we are upon the opening up und ouergetic development of our mines, the further construction of roads, and increasud facilities of interior transportation, becomes an imperative necessity. To this I will urge lhe consideration of tho Government, and trust that in jus- tlco to this, the extreme eastern constituency of the Province, further appropriation will be now made, and thut we may have, at least, what fairly belongs to us. My election at your hands, I would accept as a mark of confidence and trust, sufficient to determine me in guarding fnlthfully'tho position in which you shall have placed mo as your Representative. In my appreciation oi this trust, and an earnest endeavour to serve your interests, I sincerely hope Unit it will not bu expected tiiat I am to defeat, or risk the opportunity given me, by such a thankless allegiance to party measures as might thwart what I consider my imperative duty towards developing lire material resources uf the North Riding nf Fast Kootenay.
