Old miners say that  "the biggest
gold district is always the farthest
away."   This seems to be a fact; the
farther away a gold district the greater   the rush.    How   many   people
wauld take any stock in a reported
gold discovery near Mount Carleton?
Who believed the statements of gold
found near J_athdruin last whiter?
It is true that the more remote and inaccessible the region is,,, the less th
of civilization, and where he goes
towns spring up and quartz ledges
are located, Those who follow grow
rich on the toil of the miner, and so
it goes. Should gold be discovered under the Arctic Circle,

I. TO THE SALE
tana history), Sun   River  stampede
was a huge practical joke, but not
withstarAdingy hundreds"of men moved north, and many lost their lives,
as the stampede occurred in winter.
Twenty-live   years   ago   the Saskatchewan   district  belonged   absolutely to the Hudsons' Bay Company.
Gold was discovered on the bar below
Fort Edmonton several years before,
and the bar   ha?   been worked with
profit during- the summer ever since;
the lead has never been discovered.
The Cariboo excitement attracted
miners from all over the. world.    To
reach the district in the early■'. days
was   an  expensive and   dangerous
experiment.    If any country was re-j
mote.California was'-in .1849;'
The Black Hill, excitement in 1876
took 5000 'miners from Montana,
while the reported rich discoveries
in the Bear Paw and Little Locky
mountains in Northern -'Montana
brought 'hundreds- of old miners
back, only to be, disappointed.
Thousands'- of men   wont to Australia in the early excitement there?,
and even tlie great   gold  strike   in
Western  Australia  is attracting the
attention of old placer  miners of all

found by K. McKinnon a short dis- j completion of the work by December
tance from Summit Lake. . ' [ 31st-—Tribune, A New Mining XieHL
The wild waste land lying west of
the snake-like Arrow lakes in British
Columbia is rarely disturbed by
prospectors, hunters or explorers.
Two men, Kufus Jones and Charles
Wilson, returned Sunday evening
from a prospecting tour along the
western shore of the lakes, bringing
back specimens of rich galena and
gold bearing ore. They are satisfied
that a new district of great mineral
wealth has been discovered.
1 Tt is a hard country to explore,"
said Mr. Jones. "Besides the rough
steep mountains, the fallen trees and
the dense undergrowth there \ is a
great deal of swampy land that is almost impassable." Even the plague
of mosquitos has been so severe as to
drive some prospecters back from that
country. There are no roads or trails
and no sign that anyone has been
there since the trappers of the Hudson. Bay company moved north thirty
or forty years ago. I do not wonder
that prospectors have never iuvaded I
that district. '
We went as far north as Upper Arrow lake, keeping within six to ten
miles of the shore most of the way.
The whole country is full of mineral.
The ledges are large and well defined, bearing steel galena, ruby silver and some gold.    I am satisfied
that much of the galena is as high
grade as the Slocan ores, and there is
every indication that it will be a good
gold country.
"If deeijer work.gives as good results as the surface showings promise
I believe this new Arrow lake country
will be a greater mining district than
the Slocan. The galena appears to
be as rich even on the surface, and
the ledges are certainly as large as
those of the Slocan. Besides this
there is the promises of gold i» paying quantities.
"Yes, we will return as early as
possible next year and test some of
our new discoveries by development.
The seasons are so short there is no
time to be wasted. The ledges are
hardly accessible before July, and
there was heavy show on the ground
•   when we started south two  weeks
Will Help Silver.
One of the most interested listeners
to the closing debate in the senate on.
the repeal bill was Morton- Frewen, a
leading bimetallist of Great Britain.
Frewen does not think the cause of
bimetallism by any means hopeless^
but on the contrary believes the wide
attention which has been drawn to
. the subject by the discussion in the
[senate will serve to force the question
to the front the world over. He has
ho doubt that the very interests now
clamoring the loudest for repeal will
be forced by business exigencies to
come to the support of silver coinage
in a few years.
He has high admiration forthe way
the side of the question has been presented ; in tlie senate••• and regards
Senator Jones of Nevada as one of
the greatest, authorities pii finance in)
the world. One of the results of his■
visit to America.at this time may be
the formation of an international association in the interest of silver.

Just, as Mr. Jones finished the description a messenger arrived from
the assay office bringing returns
which be said were from specimens
of ore discovered in the new country.
The first assay gave 183.6 ounces of
silver and £16.54 in gold. The sec-
and showed 529.6 ounces of silver and
812.40 in gold. Mr. Jones stated that
the first ledge showed nine feet, the
second sixteen feet of mineralized
surface width. —Chronicle.

•Wliy Drunkards See..Double*
In answer to the question: "Why
floes a drunken man staggejr in his gait
and see double?" Dr. 3. WTCros&White
said yesterday: "Double yiaion is que Jo
a want of harmony in the muscles whigh
control the movements of the eyeball
This is owing to aidhaiige effected in the
nerves or nerve centers by the aldbholic
poison. Inflammation of the nerves and
also a lack of energy in the centers of
the brain are produced by overdoses of
alcohol, and to this- -disturbance ; in the
center is due the double vision, as alscf
the staggering gait produced by the loss^
of harmony in the muscles of the limbs.
Should the inuscles of each eyeball not
, act exactly as one then a different part
of the visual field is exposed to the two
retina. Each retina, acting independently, sees the obj ect, and the impressions
conveyed to the brain are therefore
double instead of single. Were the muscles acting exactly similarly the object
would be seen by the same part of each
retina and tha impressions therefore conveyed to the brain" would be single, ordinary vision, resulting. "--Kansas City

HURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1893
r.M^CJQM^'M-JUJ—_..-WTiT_raU«
The:mail service in the Kootenay
will stand considerable improvement.
We commenced sending papers to
Watson on Oct. 5th., and up to Nov.
. 4th./none of them reached there.
They leave the Nakusp office but
where they go after that we have
been unable to learn. It is a loss to
us to have such an inefficient service
and we would like to have the proper
authorities attend to the matter.
:,, 'Thanksgiving Day occurs in the,
23rd of this month.- The "people of
this district have not very much to
be thankful for this year, except that
thcy are alive.  : If silver was a little
V higher hi price turkeys would be
more plentiful and the people would
rejoice accordingly. Still we are
better off than manv a mining coun-
try in the United States and must
govern ourselves accordingly.
.'It will be joyfulnews to the business men at the other end of the N.
.,-& S, railway to know that the paymaster will pay the men at the different points along the road this month
and not at Nakusp. It would be
much more convenient for the company and better for the local business
m en to have had the men paid off
here, but the inconvenience to the
men would be so great that the company have decided to pay the men
where the work js being done.
A i WISE POLICY.
The fact that over $40,000 will be
paid this month for wages alone on
the N. & S. Ry,, would be enough to
convince an ordinary individual ofthe
benefit that railroad construction is
to a conntry when times are hard.
Tliis railroad company did not
wait for the silver question to be
settled, or the banks quit breaking,
or Jim Hill to buy them out, but
went to work to build the road, not
with one or two men and a shovel,
but with a small army of men and
plenty of material. The result is
that while other people are talking
about building roads to  the  Slocan
this one is pushed   forward  to  com- j
pletion and will cany the ore direct
from the mines.
Then the Slocan country will be
the scene of ceaseless activity and
prosperity will attend all who are
looking for it. The government
should assist more railroads as valuable as this one to the development
of natural wealth, and make this
province occupy the position that belongs to it in the history of the west.
THE WHITE METAL.
The next United States election
will show the true feeling of the
country, and will rebuke those who
made the Sherman Bill the source of
so much trouble in finance.
The United States revenue is now
so low, that it will hot hieet current
expenses by $54,000,000 and more
coining of silver will be inaugurated
at once in order to niake good the deficit and they are fortunate to have
the silver to coin. Money is closer
than ever known before, and yet men
who have made this claim were
called inflationists.
It is surprising to see how the
single standard papers "are toning
down tobi-nietalishi and swallowing,
tlieir own editorials now that the
repeal bill_has not brought the promised relief0 Silver is as-: natural to
our wants as the air we; breathe and
ere long a conference of nations will
be called to give it its rightful place
in the world's circulation.
In the meantime work goes steadily
on in the Slocan mines, and everyday
points more strongly to the fact that
this is the king of all silver countries
and can be worked. at a profit at a
lower price than- silver has ever
reached. /

To Australasia.
A fast Atlantic service is a necessary part of the  scheme €f a new
Australasian route.    We heard much
of it a year or two ago, but latterly
there has been little mention  ,pf it.
For this Mr. Haggart  is  chiefly responsible.    The proposition which ex'-■
cited niost   comment  was   that   the
Canadian   Pacific  company  should
take over   the   Intercolonial, and in
consideration  of   an  annual   bonus
equal to the chronic deficit in operating that railway the company would
establish   a  fast   Atlantic  line and
make the Intercolonial a "part of its
system.    But Mr, Haggart put a stop
to this talk by making the government  railway  self-sustaining.    The
question will come up again, however, and Mr. Haggart's visit to England is likely to precipitate it.    The
new service from Vancouver to Sydney, has quite taken the fancy of the
English, and it is thought within the
region   of  probability that   the imperial government will listen favorably   to   Mr.   Haggart's   appeal   to
round it off by makings the Atlantic
■ end of it as perfect as possible.    Canada is giving a*subsidy of $125,000 a
year to the   Pacific  line, and keeps
standing an otter of a  much larger
sum   to   assist , in   establishing    a
ctwenty-knot service,across the Atlantic.    It only fequires the co-operation j ™ ^
of the -British 'government to insure    L A
the  success  of the  enterprise, and
. this Mr. Haggart is hopeful of obtain-
