Seldom do suoh evonls tako place anywhere in the west, but when the ladies of Goldon undertake the task ol doing honor to their admirers or othonvlao, no pains aro spared to mako tlie affair u 'thing to he proud of, and wo must say theso events are bound to bo a success, Such is the verdict arrived at by everybody present in the Alexander hall on the occasion of the complimonlary ball given by tho ladles of Goldon to their j gentleman friends on Thursdny ^voningj the 1 Till i:i3;., when about Jorty couples participated. This event wus handicapped, na has been the rule 0:1 account of the trains failing to mako connnetion, In not being able to secure the desired music; nevertheless, tho dance wus none the lest? acceptable on thia score, for Madame lUpreicr wus quickly on the speno to assist in making tho ikuwu the greatest social success ol the day. Sho was ably assisted by M s, G. II. Fai'don and Mr. G. H, Mitchell. A programme was hung at both ends of t!:o hall for the convenience ofthe guests, and each number was promptly dealt with, whiU everything went on nicely till the hour arrived for the inner man lo do justice to the many delicacies handed round under iho direction of Miss Brownrigg and Miss Macdonald, ] both of whom were instrumental in bringing iho event to such a marked I close. The supper was a bounteous one, | and if anybody went without they only 1 I bat] themselves lo blame; but wo hardly j credit the fact that such! was the CUALIANA.

The Trade Bulletin, however, does not see in these dioaslsrs any serious reason for not behoving that the country is on the threshold of a "golden ora." The "almost illimitable resources" of Canada, we aro told by that authority, are or.ly just beginning to bo recognized by \!;o world's great capitalists, and during . the next few years " their development and the (...j;} no (lo,jl(t,)(? aj*jmuilUe.i ,��� ail extent I unparalleled in the history of Canada." j At Wast,, everything points iu tlmt j direction, aud unless tho gathering signs nf the times ure strangely deceptive, "there will be such an awakening of commercial life during tho coming Fpring as will surprise the most pangulno believers in good times ahead."

BS ON THE ALERT. There are two classes of men from Great Britain to deal with In mining transact ion a-7-thoso who intend to develop what they buy, and the professional promoter who cares not what he offers to the public. The latter should be discouraged. It is bettor to have a chance of something, and a chance in all thoae pooplc can oiler, than nothing, but if n claim has a proapoct of future value it is prudence to wait until a bargain can bo made with those who intend to mine, not sell shares. This district bus already suffered from the professional promoter; let that error tie again avoided. If we want. British capital���and the cost of developing a mineral claim in Kast Kootenay in too great to he undertaken without it���lat lhe owners stand firm either for a cash sale or such payment with a stipulation as to time in doing development work as will bind the purchaser to reasonable activity in carrying out his part of the. agrement.

The vast discoveries of gold iu lhe Yukon region will give a great stimulus to commercial enterprise throughout the province, and, in view of the urgent necessity of securing au all-Canadian route to the Yukon, a measure will be laid beforo you for furthering that olijeet as expeditiously as possible. The widespread discoveries of mineral wealth in the province indicates the importance of affording increased transportation facilities for their development, and I commend for your careful consideration certain measures which will be introduced tondingto that desirable end. I have ranch pleasure in informing you tli.it the efforts you made on former occasions to assist the Crow's Nest Railway have���ia cnujunetii.li with aid from the Dominion government���result eil in the active construction of that railway, and there is every prospect of its completion as far as Xelson during the present year.
