By Bash, G. Hamilton. [Continued.] Twenty-two miles from the main line there is a modest little log building at the roadside, with outbuildings of the same, and some enclosed land. It is a farm owned by t, merchant in the town, and bears the name of Hog Ranch. It received this in the days of railway construction, when it served the purpose of a placo for drinking for men employed in tho building of the railway. Being twenty-two miles away, it was barely outside of the pale in which tho snle of liquor is prohibited under the Public Works Act, while a large undertaking such as the building of a road iB being carried on. Tho way it Becured tho name illustrates in n manner the extent to whicli it was patronized. It is related that a man���a stranger in tlie neighborhood- found it suited his con venience to fltop nt thia humble-looking log house lor the night. Coming in tlie next day to Golden, he was asked wliere lie hud passed the night. He described the building*, said ho knew nothing of its name, but that it might be called Hog Ranch, for that a most tremendous amount of grunting, groaning, with peculiar noises, went on in the surround- >ng bushes the night through. It has 'tuck to it ever since. It was then connected to tho line with a pack trail which ran from a point iu Montana on thu south to Golden nt the north. For the next lira miles to tho south, after leaving the Hog Ranche, farms are fairly thick along the way. Then succeeds a stretch ol ut least fifteen miles of rolling country, whicli looks to he as good as that passed, but in which thero is not a settler. The ground is often covered witli low scrub, though in places ills high, open, with a fair growth of scattered big trees. The spocius referred to is the Douglas spruce (otherwise palled Douglas pine, and commercially Oregon pine), a well known tree. It is straight (hough coarse grained, exceedingly tough, rigid, and bears great transverse strain. For lumber of all sizes and planks it is in greut demand. Few woods equal it for framos, bridges, ties and strong work generally, and for shipbuilding its strength, straightness and length especially lit it for masts and flpnrs. The Britisli Columbia cedar also grows in patches over the lower ground. Frequently tho road runs in among the foothills of the mountains. At other parts the foothills break oil intp hogbacks and deep gullioB, extending clear to the river. After fifteen miles is passed farms are again met with. Forty- two miles from Golden is one of tbe farms of Mr. T. Jones, nn old prospector and mining man of thu mountains, who has turned his attention to farming. For a long time there was a stopping- house kept on it culled theSpillimiieheen House, taking its name from a river of considerable size that enters tlio Columbia at a point nearly opposite. For a distance the settlement is comparatively thick: tarin follows farm, all of them in good shape. One ol the prettiest amongst them is that of Mr. George McMillan. It is pleasant to look upon, having a gentle slope ol fields towards tho river. Not fur from McMillan's ranch thero has been erected a neat little building of logs, which is used as a church by the members ol tho Presbyterian body. The broken country continues lor a stretch of another eight miles, the distance boing fifty in all from Gulden. The climate of the valley up to this point is much like that which prevails in Northwestern Ontario, It is good and steady in winter, with the thermometer often going below zero, with splendid sleighing from start to finish. In Bummer the heat is never excessive, and tho nights aro comparatively cool. [To be Continued.] Hospital Society. At a meeting of tho directors of the Golden Hospital Soeicty, held last Saturday, Mr. W. G. Mitchell-Innes, president, iu tlio chair, thu resignation of J. Kingston as caretaker was read and accepted, and E. 11. I'ughe was appointed to the position. riuiis and specifications woro submitted by the secretary relative to tlie matter ot an isolated ward, but it was decided to take no action until sprjug. THE KOOTENAY. Mr. Carlin, of Golden, Speaks ofthe Present Conditions and Future Prospects. (Winnipeg Telegram.) The well known lumber merchant, Mr. M. Carlin, of Golden, B.C., arrived in the city yesterday morning by the Atlantic express and registered at tlie Leland, He has resided in that country for twelve years; previous to that time he was a resident of Winnipeg. Asked as to the present condition and future prospects oi the country, ho replied : " Last year mining operations subsided to quite nil extent, occasioned in part, no doubt, by tho war between tho United States nnd Spain. Tliis fall however, there has been a great revival in this line, nnd a large amount ol English capital has been invested in mining properties within the last three mouths " Largo quantities of ore aro now being shipped over the C. P. It. via Revclstoke to the smelters at Nelson and ltiissland, and the great bulk of Canadian on; will in thu luture be smelted by Canadian furnaces, instead of being sent across the border to the U. S. smelters. "In AVcst Kootonay District mining operations are in tt very flourishing condition. Gold, silver and lead uro being lniucd in large quantities, " Messrs. Mann, Foley Bros, and Law son are pushing their line of railway from Robson to tho Boundary Creek country. It is a very difficult piece of road to build, the rock cutting at certain points being heavy. " 1 may say," he added, " tho general outlook for Britisli was never lietlei, and while there is no boom, yet proper* ties ot all description are steadily advancing in price and the country is being developed In that businesslike manner that plainly sIioi-h the people have great confidence in its resources," Wtndorinere Mining Division. T. G. Elgio hits just returned from an extended stay in the Windermere District, Eust Kootenuy, and he spea 'S iu terms of greut praise of the Swansea mine. Tho Swansea is located within a mile und a half of the town ol Windermere, which iu on the shore of Windermere l.ako, and from wliich steamers run down tbo Columbia River to Golden, whicli is on the main lino of the C. P. R. The Swansea has been developed to a considerable extent by both shafts and t Illinois. All three shafts are in pay ore. und tho tunnels aro being driven for crosscuts. One of them has passed through the vein, showing itllll feet wide. At tlie point where the ledge is cut it is about 30 feet from the surface. A shall has lieen sunk in the tunnel, whicl. shows four feet of green carbonate oi eopper,iiitorspersed with motallio copper This ore is being sacked as depth is gained. The ore yields a handsome profit. The assays ol this oro run from 20 to o> per cent, copper. It is tho intention ol tho owners of the Swansea to work the mine during tlie winter, and make large shipments in the spring to the smelter. The entire country around ���Windermero is very rich both iu mineral and agricultural resources.���Rossland Miner. Rossland Mining Market. The state of the Rossland mining market is us follows: Old Ironsides, Knob Hill and Smuggler are still being picked up ut fair prices The Athabasca mine has been well reported on ol late, and the shares havo advanced from 32 to 43 cents, and is a scarce stock. Monto Cbristo and Deer Park aro the most active shares at the present, while Cariboo (Cfttnp Me- Kinnoy) is also a brisk seller. Several blocks ol Saluio havo been placed. The position of thoso shires on the market is gradually advancing nnd becoming firmer from day to duy. It is advanced from the 10th inst. to 20 cents.

Kootenay's Rapid Progress in the Past Ten Years* A Bright and Successful Future Is Assured to It- (Nelson Mining Standard.) Kootenny is a great country and one which has made rapid progress tinder unusual ond peculiar difficulties. Ten years ngo it was looked upon by a great ninny people as a range ol inacccssablc mountains and, therefore, a comparatively worthless tract of country. West* em emigrants looked upon its seem nigh uninviting hills nnd then gave them a wide berth. But tho old pioneer pros pectora, the trail blazers of the West had well formed ideas as to the future wealth of tho Kootenays, but they fully rculixed that the expenditure of a great amount of capital would be necessary in order to bring about successful mining operatious. Roads, trails and railways would have to be constructed and various other improvements made before the mines could be worked with profit. In the meantime those early residents of the country continued tlieir explorations in nil directions, and in many cases their labors were highly remunerated Placer ground was discovered in both East and West Kootenay whicli yielded good returns and acted us an impetus to renew tlie search for gold with grculer interest und activity. Attention was turned from placer:*! to quartz with varying results, but. on a whole sufficiently encouraging to mako it an industry in which many were eager to engage. About the first ore ol any consequence, in the Kootenays, was discovered in 188(1, ill the Aim-worth district, from which a sample shipment was mude by miilo train to tbe wharf and from thence by steamer and rail to the smelter. Since then nearly 300 miles of railway and 12 handsome passenger and freight Bteumers have been built, besides as many small tug and freight boats are plying tlio lakes of llio Kootenay cotm- try. Fourteen charter hanks have been e-lablisbod and five incorporated cities with almost every modern convenience, each having a population of Irom 1000 to 6000 people having sprung into existence. There arc also 12 smaller towns and numerous camps, each ol which can boast of ull the way from 100 to 500 residents, The shipments of ore from the various mines have doubled almost every year until lust year tho output reached the gigantic figuro of fO,!)29,*l1Jl). This ycor, as our Inexhaustible treusure vaults continue to increase tlieir output, no doubt this vast amount will bo Increased by several million dollars. Notwithstanding the mad rush ol people from all points of the compass tn the Klondike; the war between the United States and Spain, during the continuance of whicli capital wus extremely timid, and the unsettled condition of afluirB in European countries milking investors doubly cautious, fuw mining districts on the globe have made a better record in Ilie same period ol lime than the Kontenays; none can show a more substantial one. These are diets whicli defy contradiction and show that too much cannot la. said iu praise of tho Kootuniiy mines, Thoy to-day provide tlie Treusiiry Department of llritisli Columbia with its greatest source ol revenue. It is frequently Baid that mining is a game ol chance. While this may he true in some localities, this rulu will not apply to Iho Kootenay country, Fully fifty per cent of our mines on wh'ch sufficient development work has boon done uro today paying dividends. What other milling country is thero about which the same statement can bs made without departing from tho truth? The Kootenays, however, havo suffered their full quota from the evil influences of wildcat speculators and mining stock manipulators; but their day iB about past. There is a bright and roseate future in store for the Kootenays. Ol tins we have every promise and assurance. New Watchmaking Business. Mr. William Alexander, watch inspector for the Western Division ofthe C.P.R., has Inoved his headquarters from Canniore tq Golden, and has opened up a repair Bhop in Tom's tailor stand until he can secure permanent quarters.

Oold Commissioners' Employees Are Now Prohibited From Acquiring Claims. Hon. J. Fred. Hume, the Minister of Mines, lias gazetted his latest order thut gold commissioners and their employees shall not acquire any new mining interests. This is a regulation that has been required, because it waB scandalous as to tho manner in wliich Government employees traded in mineral claims. If tlieir salaries are not sufficient, then let them quit ollice. Tlio summary ol the order is as follows: Gold commissioners, mining recorders and clerks and employees under them, connected with the administration ot mineral claims, shall not he allowed under any circumstances, to lake out free iiiiners'certificutcs,or toncqulro,directly or indirectly, in tlieir own name or in the name of nny person for their benellt, any mineral claims or any iutcrest iu any mineral claims ol any kind whatsoever. Tlmt forthwith every such person shall make a Btateineiit to the Department of Mines, showing what interest, if any, he has in such mineral claim, and such person may, under directions, he allowed to tako out a free miner's license, for the purpose only of protecting such Interest already acquired. Under no circumstances shnll any gold commissioner make any ruling or order with regard to, or take any action in con nection with, any miueral claim in whicl he or any mining recorder, clerk or employee under him hue, to bis knowledge, any interest; or with regard to any incorporated company in which such gold commissioner, or any mining recorder, clerk or nny employee under bim, has any shares or stuck, All such matters requiring any action shall bo forthwitli reported to the Minister of Mines.

It Is not too early to discuss the advisability of sending a first-class collection of ores from this district to London next summer to show at the Earl's Court Exhibition. It isalso important that siiino good man should be sent witli them to show them off to the best advantage. As the Paris Exhibition is to be held during the following your, tlie specimens could bo sent there after they hail done duty in London, It is expedient, therefore, that every effort bo made to send something tiiut would attract attention from tlio largo crowds thut will surely congregate at each of these grenl ex bi bit ions, in 18IIU and 11HX1, respectively. ���*���.�����*���.-������������ Provincial Appointments.

A roccption aud dance has been arranged for Friday evening by tho Selkirk and Arrowhead sections in honor of Mr. Williain Newman, who is leaving ub Bhortly to take up the same positiou as he holds hero.

In spite of the nssurenco we received to the contrary, it seems rather apparent that Dr. Cross is not to bo allow,..I tu remain hero the two days citch week, as wo had said before.

TRADE pf Bfl.TI8H COLUtrJIjIA. -iinst'int this is a fair wage- a wage sn indent to render the miner comfortable iu his home, and to give his family, if he hae one, a fair chance in the struggle for life. It is to the interest of every man who intends to make hia home in British Columbia to Bee that the vrsgo of the worker ia not lowered. It is only those who seek to mine our minerals nnd carry out of the country the wealth that these minerals produce who can be said to really profit by lotjf wages. With the objects of these men the residents of this district have naturally no sympathy. During the past year several towns have sprung up in the district, consequent upon the construction of the railway. They have made more or leas progress, and during the next year it is to be expected that this progress will be greater. As these new communities increase, bo will be measured the increase in the general prosperity. Thus the people in this district may look into the year 1809 with full confidence in the advancement of trade aud tlio widening and deepening of those channels of business which have now become so well marked in this district. In other words, people engaged in all sorts of business have abundant warranty to clap on more sail to make swifter headway into the harbor of great and general prosperity, which lies directly over our prows. Winnipeg I-'rec Press. The Province of Britisli Columbia is one of great natural resources in timber, fish nnd minerals, and the exports of fliat Province should naturally cut a very ���respectable figure. The imports of the Province are, of course, exceptionally Jarge, because of the seaports of Victoria and Van;ouver, and tho large amount of food products required to feed the miners Jn the Kootenay country. For thiB reason the imports credited to British Colombia in tl>e trade returns are as large as those of Nova Scotia, where the population is live times as great. Per head of -population, however, British Columbia probably consumes more than the residents of any other Province in Canada. Thc total imports and exports of the Province for the last ten years are as follows: i' Year Imports Exports 1889 (.1,7(18,000 ( 4,834,000 J8H0 :.. 4,379,000 6,711-1,000 V801.. 6,477,000 6,199,000 1892. 6,358,000 6,574,000 1893 .'. 4,918,000 6,641,000 1894" 6,269,000 8,I42,C00 1895'] 4,379,000 9,121,000 18IW 5,686.000 10,570,000 1897 7,031,000 14,017,0110 1898 8,099.000 16,919,000 It will be seen that while the fmports pf 1897 bad increased by one-fourth over the preceding year, the increase this yoar ie less than one-filth over 1897, The Increase ln imports, which amount- pi tq one-third in 1899, is sbout one-fifth fn 1S98. Nevertheless, the increase for the fiscal year ending June, 1898, ia very ���.atitactory, the total trade l��ing (4,600,- 000 more than in 1897.

The silver-lead mines of Kootenay are worthy of the attention of Eastern and English investors. There are immense fortunes to be made in this class of inin ing in Kootenay, for the reasons that the I ore is invariably of an exceptionally high grade and the ground is easy to work. The prospects ofthe silver-lead industry have improved greatly of late. The price of silver has risen above 60 cents, and it is not unlikely that it will go higher, while there is no reason to suppose that it will fall. There is no longer any question as to the local supply of cheap fuol, and there will soon be several large lead smelters ready for operation in the district. Everything now favors the economical local amelting of silver-lead ores, except the United States import duty on lead bullion, and the chances are that this will bo satisfactorily arranged before the sitting of tho international commission at Washington comes to au end. costing several hundred dollars, and his travelling expenses were not less than (260 or (300, mas ing a total for each of not less than (600, or a grand total of (.10,000,009. ��� " Two years ago," said tho editor, "before we started in tho newspaper business, all our wealth consisted of a (10.00 bill, and now we are trying to remember how that (10.00 noto looked." ��� An advertisement travels hundreds of miles between sun-up and sun-down.

If these figures prove anything, it is that out of every 1,000 bachelors 20 would rather go to jail than get married. ��� It ia to be hoped tlie Government ol British Columbia will follow the practice p.irsusd by the Ontario Bureau of Mines, and publish a monthly statement showing the yield from the different mines throughout the Province. ��� A Manilla native has appeared wearing a Yankee plug hat, a cigarette and an air of new-born freedom.

When Mr. Sifton can draw (8,000 a year for two years and spend (42,000 out of that in the purchase of a newspaper organ, there must be a comfortable balance to live on. ��� Most people will be surprised to hear that the American flag is older than that of any other of tho --rout powers. The Stars and Stripes wore adopted in 1777, while the red und yellow flag of Spain only dates from 1385, the Trench tricolor from 1704, the English red flag with tho Union Jack in the corner from 1801, tho Italian flag from 1848, that of Austria-Hungary from the compromise of 1867, that of the German Empire from 1871, and tbe present Russian tri-color from almost the other day. ��� When Lord Aberdeen speaks of tbe necessity of allowing merit, not politics, to regulate appointments and promotions in tlie civil aervice, he must feel much compunction as to the manner in which ho has been made to violate that principle by his present advisers. When he considers all the orders-in-council he has signed dismissing competent officials, in order to make room for men whose only merit is that they are relatives of Ministers or Grit partisans, he can be pardoned for feeling keenly the necessity of civil aervice reform. ��� Winnipeg Tribune. ��� In the matter of distances tho gnat Canadian and United States transcontinental railways, which now lead the van, will have to give way to three immense railway systems that will soon be built.

Ah, life looks very bright to me Since I have heard her say, With sweet, becoming modesty, She'll marry me some day��� If I will give up smoking, If I wiU go to church, If I cut the club and leave My best friends in the lurch, If I will never stay out late, But hasten home at nine, If I will let her have her way, She's promised to bo mine I If I will move away from town, And will never touch a card, If I will buckle down to work, And labor long and hard To buy her stylish bonnets, And gowns and lots of gloves, Then I may be that happy man, The lucky man she loves. II I'll be always pleasant, And never, never scold, And never mako hor nurse me, And not grow cross and old, And always stay good looking��� She can't stand ugly men��� If I come un to her ideal, Why, we'll be married then I That's why I am so happy, And why I often seem Unconscious nnd abstracted��� I'm living in a dream I Tbe is so sweet and pretty, And so unselfish, too! I wonder how I won her love��� I can't believe it's true! Good Manners. Good manners are a social obligation, and a young man should never make light of them nor pose them over as unworthy of notice, says a writer in the November Ladies' Home Journal. The extreme manners of tho fop are silly, but the way a well-bred mini deports himself is always worth a young man's closest study. Good manners mean comforts for others, and the recognition of little social rights, which to pass over is to degenerate. Etiquette books cannot instill good manners. One's deportment comes from within. Few men aro born without an intuitive knowledge of what is right or wrong that develops the quality. To be good mannered generally means to have consideration for women of every rank in life, and that is a quality which young men cannot possess too strongly. A man never realises the superiority of woman so much ns when he is sewing on a button without a thimble, pushing tlio needle against the wall to get it half way through and pulling it through the other half by hanging on to it with his U*th. Children's Teeth. An article in thc American Kitchen Magazine gives as the opinion of a dentist that the poor teeth of children is due to lack of exercise often. Much uf the modern food given to children is in the form of soups, purees and mush made train cereals, and not enough work is given to the teeth in mastication to draw the blood in large quantities to them. It does not, therefore, give up lis strengthening qualities in sufficient quantity to make the teeth strong. The dentist recommended that things hard to chew be given to the children. A wholesome and sufficiently hearty breakfast for children from five to twelve years of age is a dish ot* well cooked oatmeal, into which, while it ia hot, bananas are cut up, the whole being served with cream and uo sugar. Red, in the new shade which has a very pinky tinge, is very much the fashion. It is something between a scarlet and a crimson, and cloth gowns in this tint, with plain stitching for trimming, are very swell. 4 Th* Care of Brooms. Brooms that are choked with dust, hair and threads can not do effective service; they should be kept clean if you wish them to sweep clean. Keep a pailful of warm suds in tbe sink every sweeping day, and as aften as the broom becomes dusty take it to the sink, dip it up and down In tbo pail, shake well, and continue tho sweeping; then, when all Is swept, wash it once more beforo putting it away. Mot only will the broom wear longer, the sods toughening the splinters, but the carpet will look brighter. Many use a sprinkling of salt before sweeping; while It brings out tbe color, it gathers dampness. Do not sweep Irom one side of the broom alone; it will wear uneven and shorten Its life. Carpet sweepers should be freed from dust and threads belore being put away, and, as the brush wears ott, it should be lowered a trifle. A very little oil will Stop the sweaking ot the wheels. 4 A pretty hat witli a stiff round crown, covored smoothly with a pale fawn- colored velvet, showiug a group of tucks, is trimmed with charming effect witli red and purple asters ln crowded clusters. 4 Lst tha Children Laugh' An eminent surgeon says; Enconrago your children to bo merry and to laugh aloud. A goad, hearty laugh oxrands tho chest, and make", the blood hound mer rily along. Commend me to a good laugh, not to a little, sniggering laugh but to one that will sound right through the bouse. It will not only do your child good, but will be a benefit toall who hear, and be an important means of driving the blueB away from a dwelling. Merri ment is very catching, and spreads in a remarkable manner, few being able to resist the contagion. A hearty laugh is delightful harmony; indeed, it is the best of all music. 4 Mix a few drops of sweet oil with au equal quantity of black ink and apply the mixture to black kid gloves, where the outer surface is rubbed off. Color of the Eyes. That the color of tbe eyes should affect their strength may seem strange, yet that such is the case need not now be proved, and tbose whose eyes nre brown or dark colored should be informed that they are weaker and more suscoptible of injury from various causes than gray or blue eyes. Light bluo eyes are generally the most powerful, and next to these are gray. The lighter the pupil the greater and longer continued is the degree of tension which the eyes can sustain. The Lakes Superior, Huron, Ontario, Erie and Michigan have an aggregate area of 94,760 square miles, which is larger than the area of Great Britain. 4 Fur and Hair. Tho difference between fur and hair lies in the fact that hair lies flat on the skin and fur docs not. Few know this Burrowing animals are always covered with fur, for it does not so easily become soiled by the earth as hair. 4 The Runawap Boy. "Aro there any marks upon him by which he can be identified?" asked the chief of police, preparing to telegraph to other towns. "No," said the father of the twelve-year-old boy who had started West to fight Indians; "but there will be when I get hold of bim again." 4 Splendid soft gindeibread is made with a cup of good molasses, one-half cup of water, one-half cup of butter, one- hall teaspoonful of ginger, ono half tea- spoonful of soda or snleratus, two cups of flour, two eggs and a pinch of salt. Bake in square tins and cut in squares. Cut the squares ojien and put in bits of preserved ginger aud cover each square with frosting. �� Somo Difference. Eager Inquirer���"Aro (here any good milling locutions still open up there?" Returned Kloudiker���"I should say so. You can go there and take your pick." Eager inquirer���"Great Scott! If lean go and take my choice " Returned Kloudiker���"I didn't say that. 1 said you could take your pick; but you'll have to use it on your own diggings." The woman who wishes her blouse waist to lie smoothly across the shoulder puts a bit oi stiffening down the shoulder seam. Some of the manufactured so- called "bones" are excellent for this purpose. They are Arm, but pliable. No matter how well a garment is cut, if it is not tight-fitting ar with a tight- fitting lining it is not possible to make that shoulder seam lie straight without some assistance, and this tha soft bone" gives. Por tha Weaker Sex. A wife rarely keeps a husband poor that would have beeu rich any other way. Women live for admiration, but men die without it. When a woman's in love, she thinks there's no other man in the world; when a man's in love, he thinks the same thing. The bachelor has one great advantage over a married man���he can still get married. A woman may havo less logic than a man, but what little she does havo is generally more so. Never trust a woman with a secret. The curiosity of her husband is sure to get it out of her. Just when a man's surest that a woman never hits anything she aims at, along comes a blushing young thing and marries him. 4 Educate a boy and you get an intelligent man. Educate a girl and you get an intelligent family. 4 ON THE STAIR. They were in the shadow grey, On the stair��� They were all alone, but tboy Didn't care.
