The showings are fairly good. , . For the past fortnight or so ore has been coming into Silverton at the rate of 10 tons per day, being equally divided between the Alpha and Fisher Maiden. . The ore will be shipped out about January. At a general meeting ofthe shareholders of the Kootenay Hydraulic Co., held at Nelson, J.'-F." Ritchie was elected president, R. J. Bealey vice- president, G. W. Richardson secretary treasurer, and J. Elliott and F. M. McLeod directors. * Indications point to small shipments ol ore from tlie Slocan during December, but a heavy export for January. The method adopted by the larger mine owners is to bulk their ship - inents, rather,: than to'despatch the ore in straggling carloads. Some elegant samples of mica from the claims recently lecated across the lake are being ex h Lbifced. in to wn, ahd are exciting much comment. Quite large blocks are shown, with: tlie crystals pure and clear, and of a beautiful white. The samples were, taken: from the surface,: the veins leading direct into the rock. The C.&.Iv.N.Co., presumably' acting with' the C.P.R., have made a proposition to the Trail creek mil e.-s to carry "their■" ore out during the ■winter. 7 Tlie rate quoted is believed to be amply sufficient to cut out the S.F.:&;N.R.'s rate by way of the Norihpof t wagon-road.

The work will be done in 30 days at a cost of ${i,C00. The road will be five miles long and has a 12 per cent, grade. 7 There are many brunette stumps in the streets of Three Forks. They are too short for shade trees, and too long for a man to, step over without hurting hfs corns. Not being required for bric-a-brac, and haying lived past their 'days' .of usefulness they should be kicked to pieces by a band of mules and consigned to the cold cruel waves of Carpenter creek. The postmaster at Three Forks is the personification of generosity. He puts all the newspaper mail" on a counter and the public help themselves, in this Way he saves much physical exertion and his method is highly appreciated by that portion of the community who never subscribe for any paper, but have no scruples in helping' themselves to .literary productions when an opportunity presents itself.

The ore has been fran the storehouse of the Slocan Star at Three Forks and has been forwarded to Omaha. Both the Lytton and the Kootenai have been handling the article, the latter having the aid ol the scow. Three hundred and eighty- « four tons in all, or 26 carloads, have been-sent out since, last reporting, at a release value of |38,400, TJu's week's hauling will finish the Slocan Star contract, but 1,0.^0 tons more Will be shipped out ".in"January, II. Mann securing the job..of getting it out to the 'Forks.- The Noble Five' people have.', concluded to export 500 tons at once, followed by several hundred more: from the Mountain Chief. The Alpha is piling dp WO tons at' Silverton, to be handled probably at the end of the month, with heavier lists in January. The Fisher Maiden is also stacking five tons daily at Silverton, as the nucleus of a big shipment. It is estimated that over iu, 000 tons of hlgii7grade ore is on the dumps of,;the various Slocan mines, awaiting the advent of snowto rawhide £md ship, to say nothing Of the Immense bodies; df7 concentrates or second-class matter, in which Captain Moore's ;.establishment will figure. ..From the Le Roi, on Trail creek, />■_■ tons, vail tied at $2, TOO, were forwarded to East Helena."

The veins are extensive and the. working of them will doubtless prove as profitable to the owners as.it will be advantageous to the town's prosperity • With mica and gold propositions ^working- on a good paying basis so near at hand,- our citizens could the more complacently await the" restoration*o£ silver to.its former standing. Owing to increasing* the extensive and Overuse; of "mica in" various electrical appliances, the value of that serviceable mineral is becoming more pronounced. The attention of mining men is' being" turned to the profits to be made from its working, and' enquiries* are constantly being made for-available properties. Canada and the United States each have large 'deposits' of the' mineral, the" former principally in the provinces <. Ontario and Quebec. In the United States it is being' mined in the Caro- lihas, NeW Hampshire, Connecticut; Nevada and Alabama, investigations in the latter state showing that the lodes had been worked in prehistoric a/es. Africa also enters the mart' as' a competitor in this article, the deposits being scattered here and there throughout the" dark continent, but the mica is not of good quality.- Tlie peculiar advantage of the mineral to electricians is in its superior insulating properties, and as such readily meets with a brisk demand at paying prices. The value varies from five to 50 cents per pound, according to size and quality; even the tailings being made use of " "-7. Many companies, foreign and domestic, have been organized of late,, with large capital stocks, to acquire aiid work mica lands, the mere suspicion of its presence being sufficient to treble ana quadruple the price of wild realty, -particularly north of Ottawa. Experts admit tlie superiority of the Canadian article over that from the States, its principal rival, in size, clearness, and general commercial value. . in 'tliis province deposits, have been discovered in various localities, the district surrounding Kamloops having -shovfn. some first- class specimens, indicating the existence of large bodies. But drawing nearer' home, Nakuspites may find an object lesson to guide their town to future "prosperity' in the discoveries made two'*-weeks' ago in the hills to the west of the lake and within-sight of their own thresholds. The discoverers and loca tors of the claims on■ Mica creek, there being four locations, '"have a good thing and thev know it- The'specimens shown in town this' week demonstrate the character and Alas, alas, the vicissitudes of journalism1 in this fair province! Two iiiore papers—the^ Steveston Enterprise and the Wellington News—have succumbed to an attack of' non-support and weak ■ exchequers: We feel for .our unfortunate brethren, but they may take comfort from', the' fact tliat tlieir editorial skeletons are not left unaccompanied • to .bleach in the. provincial boneyard.
