Camborne, Maroh 1—Daring the
past week business has been brisk,
consequent upon tbe Qreat Northern Mines, limited, and the Calumet & B. C. Gold Mines, Limited,
disbnrsing some t<S 000 in pay
checks. The finanoial clouds that
for a time were hovering over the
camp are clearing away and the
citizens generally are at last awakening to the faot that the Fish river
camp if going to take its place in
the front rank of the gold camps of
the provinoe.
Besides the two payrolls mentioned, Can come receives muoh financial benefit lrom the different lumbering ou tfits employed along the
FiBh river. It is announced that
Ihe Harbor Lumber Company will
erect a modern mill at this plaoe to
replace tbe one recently destroyed.
It v,'1) be located on Fish river and
will add a considerable payroll.
Tbe $2000 conditionally appropriated by tiiu government toward
the construction of tbe Fish river
road beyo...' Camborne to the
mouth of Bojd creek will be turned
over to the Harbor Lumber Company, who have undertaken to build
tbe road.     It, is   to   he  constructor]
on the west Bide of the river and a
a bridge will be built on in the
vicinity of Boyd creek.
An . gitation has been started for
tbe purpose of circulating petition*

by the chamber of deputies to keep

that France must honor her engagements at whatever cost, postponing until afterwards tbe discuB-

"Why Smith   Left  Home"
Mr. 0. P. Walker's well balanced
comedy oompany, which has been
on a trip to .tie Pacifio Coast, presenting "What Happened to Jones"
is now returning with Mr. Broad-
hurst's equally funny conception,
"Why Smith Left Home." This
company will appear hr,t on Wednesday nest. Abrighlet, oleaner,
more piquant piece has never been
written. It iB so constructed that
none of Mr. Walker's players is
left without n abundance of opportunity for doing very good comedy work. The result is lhat working together they are able to bring
j about the very best results in the
c line of merriment. Millard Reed,
Miss Millard and the other talented members of the organization will
be seen to the very beafadvantage
in thie eagerly anticipated performance of "Why Smith Left Home."

Never at any period in the history ot the oamp haB the prioe of
notable mining companies been so
low ae at   the  present  time.   Oi
oourse there are speoial excuses to
be advanood,auch as the general
financial depression in the east and
such as the present war, but after
all this is no justification for Belling suoh a stook as War Eagle, with
hundreds of thousands of dollarB
worth of good ore in sight, at such
an absurd figure as 12 cents, or
Centre Star, in an even more enviable category, at 25 cents.   Or take
the White Bear   not many years
ago the discovery  of good ore a'
depth in a mine would have eenl
the stock up, tbe fact of the company spending many thousands iu
erecting the necessary machinery
to take it out profitably would yet
have advanced the shares, and the
news that  the mine was actually
shipping, had a railway spur to tbe
mine, wae erecting a concentrator
to treat the lower grade rock so
that the cost of development should
have been so muoh the lesB, would
have skied the scrip.    White Bear
would have rivalled the flight upward of many a stock well known
to RoBslanders.   But all the move
the shares have made has been but
one oentl
However, as the speculator does
not seem inclined to try his fortune
in oreating one rapidly out of the
rise and fall in mining ventures, a
oonolusion, perhaps, whioh RoBsland has nothing to grumble over,
the investor should take tbe present opportunity. If there ever waB
a time in Rossland past or future,
when the public could get in on the
ground floor it was hard, and will
be hard, to rival the present.
s chiefly Concerns d in  its  Tibetan
expedition.   China is bounded on
the eaBt by the sei, by Manohuria
on the north, by Tibet and Burma
on the west and southwest, and by
Siam   and   Cochin   Cbina  on the
south.     Between  Manchuria and
Tibet on the boundaries lies in that
huge gap nothing but desert.   Now
if RuBsia should win in the north
and advanoe into China  it  would
end by her annexing the whole of
that oountry and shutting its trade
to every nation  but the Russian.
But the Ernphe his large interests
there   The Commonwealth of Aua
tralia   maintains   several   resular
trading   lines  with   Far   Cathay.
Canada is similarly linked.   The
British port of  Hongkong, off the
coast of South China, has few equals
in shipping or wealth in the world.
If Russia should win out in itB
present struggle all this is lost to
the Anglo Saxon  race.     And the
China trade is well worth having,
witnasB the struggles of centuries.
Tbis is where the Imperial interest
comes in.   This is where Canada
iB drawn into the vortex.   There is
no finer market for the lead and
silver ores of the Kootenay than
China. The trade is but young but
it ie growing.   Much of this trade
would Canada get were the Bear in
oontroll
Fearing thie the Empire is on
the watch.     Through Burma and
Tibet it oan pour troops into China
lo meet the advancing Muscovite if
it beoomea necessary. Russia would
not only have to meet tbe ad vane
ing on the Chinese side of Bhamo,
at MoiigtB/.u, at Tali, but at the
eame time   would have to guard
against a dangerous flank attack
from some unknown  point to the
weBt on the Tibetan frontier.   Rus
sia  would   be   operating    among
enemies, the Empire among friends.
France might attempt an advance
from Cochin   China,   but   Cochin
China   is   itself   hostile   and   tbe
Frenoh troops are few and the native regimen tsundependable. Qreat
Britain oan aid plucky little Japan
no better at the present crisis than
by pushing the Tibetan expedition,

TIBET.
The Empire oan well afford to
laugh at the threats of the CoIobbus
of the North, a colossus whoae feet
are indeed proving to be of olay, in
in ite tulmidations against the
British oooupation of Tibet. Were
Indea to absorb Tibet India would
be but following the example laid
down by Russia for two centuries
paat in her maroh from the Ural
mountains to the Paoifio ocean.
Russia oan not assail Tibet. At her
nearest point ehe is 1000 miles
from Lhasa. If Great Britain wants
to annex Tibet she oan have it for
the asking. There was only one
power, and that a subsidiary state
of the Goorkhas, which oould object, and the Qoorkhas has informed their Tibetan brethren that the
demands of the Viceroy of India
were nothing but reasonable and
nothing but that whioh the Qrand
Lama himself had agreed to several years ago. Like many another
ignorant potentate he, Lima of
Lhasa, haB sought te play off Great
Britain against Russia just as King
Tbebaw of Mandalay sought to
play off the French against the
British and ended by losing his
kingdom 20 years ago.

CHAPTER XI (Continued)
All those gaudy buterflies of tbe
new day, that statelv home and
tbat fair flower herself, shrank into
nothing; and as the white lightning
leaps through the dull void of midnight, and shows for one dazzling
second some long remembered
oountry, ashine in every leaf and
detail, to the startled pilgrim, and
then is gone with a ghostly mirage
of its passage, so in that surprising
moment, so full of import, Blodwen
rose to my miud against all reason
and likelihood—Blodwen the Briton,
the ruddy haired—Blodwen radiant with her gentle motherhood—
Blodwen who could Boream so fiercely to her clansmen in the forefront of conflict, and drive her
bloody chariot through the red
mud of battle witb wounded foe-
men writhing under her remorseless wheels more blithely than a
latter day maid would trip through
the spangled meadow grass of
springtime—Blodwen rose before
met
Ohl 'twas wild, 'twas foolish,
past explaining, nonsense: and,
angry with myself and that white
maid who stood and hung her head
before me I stroked my hand acros°
my faoe to rid me of the fanoy,
and, gathering myBelf together,
made my bow, murmuring something fiercely civil, and turned my
back upon her to seek another
group.
Yes; but. if you think I conquered that fancy, you are wrong. For
days and days it haunted me, even
though I laughed it to soorn, and,
what made the matter more difficult, more perplexing, waa that I
had not guessed in error— tbe unhappy Isobel had loved me from
first sight, and, against eve.y precedent her nature would have
warranted, grew-daily deeper in
the toils. And I, who never yet
had turned from the eyes of suppliant maid, watohed ber color
shift and fly as I came or went,
and Btrode gloomy, unmindful
through all ner pretty artifioes of
maiden tenderness, burning the
meanwhile with love for her disdainful sister. It was a strange
medley, and in one phase or another pursued me all the time I
was in that noble keep. When I
was not wooing I waB being wooed.
Alas! and all tbe coldness I got
from that blaok browed lady with
the goddess carriage and the fault-
leas skin I passed on the poor, enamoured girl who dogged my idle
footsteps for a word.
Thus, on one day we had a
tournament. All round the great
castle, under the oaks, were pitched the tents of the troopers, while
- the pennons and bannerets of the
knights and barons, as we saw
jthem from the turret top, shone in
the Bunlight like a field of Howe n.
TtteJ soldier yeoman had their
sports and contests on the greensward, and we went down to watch
them. Thorl but I never saw suoh
bronzed and stalwart fellows, or
witnessed anything like the truth
and straigbtpess of those stinging
flights of shafts the archers Bent
against their butts I Then the
next day, following the sports of
the common people, in the tilt-
pa rd inside the barbioan, we held
a tourney, a mock battle and a
breaking of spears, a very gorgeous
show indeed, and near as exoiting
as an honest melee itself.
So tuneful in my ears proved lhe
shivering of lances and the clatter
of swords on the steel panoply of
the knights, that, though at first 1
held aloof, stem and gloomy wi>h
my futile passion, yet presently I
itched to take a Bpear, and, since
those sparkling riders liked the fun
so muoh, to let them try whether
my right hand had lost the cunning it learnt before their fathers
were conceived. And ae I thought
so, standing among the chief ones
in that brilliant tourne> ri'-g, up
oame the white rose and tempted
me to break a lance, and sighed so
softly and brushed against me
with her scented draperies, and
tried with feeble self command to
meet my eyes and oould not, and
was so obviously wishful that 1
should ride a course or two, and e >
pretti y in love, that I was near
relenting of my coldness.

A new referee is wanted for the

It is about time that the government appointed the police oommit-
doners.
Manager Barker, of the Bank of
Toronto, has been transferred to
Port Hope, Ont.
In the Colts Curling games last
night Oliver defeated Jenkins and
Lamont Deschamps.
The Revelstoke ladiee succeeded
in tying at hookey last night witb
their Rosaland rivals.
The game between Nelson and
Roesland on Saturday night ought
to evoke much interest.
Tonight Phipps plays Lamont
and Molonis Renwiok in the Colts
competition for the Thompson Cup.
The Revelstoke ladiee were promised a band a supper if they oame
back claiming a viotory over RoBBland. They ought to have had it.
It was all the fault of ,the referee.
Steps are being taken by those
interested in the Athelstan mine in
Wellington camp to incorporate
that property, taking in also the
Jaokpot, which has been acquired
sinoe the syndicate took hold a iew
rnonthB since. This is being done
primarily for the convenience of
those interested and not particularly to make sales of the shares.
While the getting of the company in  shape  is  going  on, the
shipping of ore will be discontinued.   For some time the eyndioate
haB been working on a plan to get
a spur built to the mine by the C
P. R., a distance of three miles, as
the grade would run, and a favorable reply is expeoted shortly.   Up
to the present the ore has all been
hauled on wagons or sleighs for a
mile up hill to   the Winnipeg spur,
whence it was taken to the smelterB of the district.
In consequence of the stoppage
of shipments, the force at the Athelstan has been materially reduced,
and but few men are being kept on
development.
Work was taken up at the Athelstan laBt June by looal syndicate,
who obtained an option on a majority of the shares of the old company. Shipments- of ore have been
steady, and it is popularly believed
that the returns from the Bmelters
have been most satisfactory. But
the cost of hauling the ore has
been quite an item, andl this will
be discontinued for tbe present, at
least. George H. Collins has been
in aotive charge of the Athelstan
since it resumed. Mr. Collins was
formerly in charge of (he Golden
Crown, also in   Wellington   camp.
The majority of men who manufacture clothing wear garments

SEASON'S    SNOWFALL
The Record of the Beautiful Since Incorporation of the City
The snowfall for the past month
is certainly a record for the paat
few years. The snowfall of Rose-
land varies considerably. The
records of the Rossland Meteorological offioe are at present with the
head office at Viotoria, but will be
returned shortly. However it may
be stated that the greatest snowfall
waB in the winter of 1899 1900,
whioh totalled 203 inches. The
year before was the smallest on
reoord, being 132 inches.
LaBt year the snowfall was ISO
inohes which nae distributed as
follows: September, linob; November, 43 inches; December, 43 inches; February, 71 inohes March,
IG inohes; April *{ inches.
ThiB year tbe oorreoled record
stands as follows; November, 341
inohes; December, 22 inches; January, 381 inohes; and last month 70
inches.
It will be seen lhat there fell more
snow during February of this year
than in the January of the year before by nine inches. The total
snowfall this season to date is 171
inches, while al this time last year
only 163 inoheB had fallen, and
after this dale lust year a fraction
of under 17 inches of snow fell.
