The company now in process of formation will have a capital stock of $100,000. Part of the stock will be taken by the owners of mines in the Slocan district. Tbe smelter will be built expressly for the purpose of smelting the gold and silver ores pecuiiar to the district around the lower end of Slocan lake. It will do away with the high freightand treatment charges upon ores sent to the Trial and Nelson smelters. THE ST.

The company is reported to Lave earned substantial profits for somo time past, and although a,dividend was paid early in the present year, there was a_considerable balance afterwards left in the treasury. This balance has been considerably augmented by,itissaid,$25,000 to $30,000 profits every month since. The company would not be likely to pay less than a shilling a share, and, as there are 120,000 shares of the par value of £5 each, this would mean a distribution of £6,000, or $30,000. As the company is said to have something over £30,000, or $150,000, in its treasury at the present time, the payment of a shilling a share would be no great drain on its reserves. The Le Roi No. 2 has a bond on the Evening-Eureka group, which will be taken up if the development that is now under way justifies purchase six months hence. This would involve an outlay of i_1_ • l«l-- _,r./\_/\/\/\ 1 • J__ bUIU-.UlHg-llKB _>OU,VUU,~~ UeHlUt'B the cost of development in the meantime, making 'a total not likely to exceed $50,000.

THE SKYLARK Phoenix, October 9.—The deai which has been pending for some time for a lease and bond on the well known Skylark claim, about two miles from Phoenix has been put through, and active development has already been started on the property. The seller is Giovanni Lavagnino, of Salt Lake City, Utah, and the buyers are all Phoenix people, namely, O. B. Smith, Jr., A. W. B. Hodges, W. S. Macy, R. B. Boucher and H. A. Wright. The amount of tlie bond is not made public, but it is announced to be in the neighborhood of $30,000, the time running over two years in which to make the payment. Work has already been started on the property, a powerful pump, etc., being sent there to empty the shaft, so that work could begin in earnest. Within the last few months, since increased attention has been given to high grade mining, a number of persons have been attempting to secure the Skylark. The Skylark is one of the oldest and best developed claims in the camp of the same name.

Walters, of the Spokane and Great Northern Mining company, who worked the property and shipped about 100 tons of high grade ore the following winter. Considerable *work was done in 1898 by G. E. Ruger, of Butte, Montana, but owing to tho lack of transportation facilities work was suspended. The property is developed by an incline shaft of 100 feet, with some 385 feet of drifting, besides surface cuts. The shipments that were packed out iu the early days by Mr. Walters gave from 80 to 300 ounceB in silver and $15 to $20 in gold, the second class ore running somewhat less. Up to tho present nono of tho attempts to secure the property under lease or bond havo been successful.

It was in 1889 that he came to Nelson and along with Van Ness built the Nelson Hotel, tho first hotel built of lumber in the city. He prospered and ot the time of his death was a wealthy man. He was a man full of energy and activity. He took an active part in public affairs, and was often disliked by some for his decided opinions, but those who knew him best wore aware of tbe sterling qualities be- FATAL POKKR OABIR London, Ky., Oct. 8.—-A card gamo at Manchester last night resulted in a fatal quarrel at an early hour this morning.

The Lord's Day Alliance wants the city council to close the- candy and fruit stores in Fernie upon overy Sunday. Instead of being a society for the benefit of mankind the Lord's Day Alliance is rapidly making itself a nuisance. Its en deavour to make people follow old fogey ideas about day worship will end in failure, especially when the law is to be invoked in order to carry out their foolish ideas upon tho observance of a certain day. Which is the greater sin? To sell candy on Sunday, or put a man in jail because he does ?

And for full five minutes Sam sat in an agony of apprehension, waiting for tho worst. o Suddenly there was a loud knock at the shop door; someone tried the latch, and walked away.

Peter the Great once found a guard sleeping at his post, the pen- -alty.for which offense was death. He took the man's sword. On awakening, the soldier was terrified at finding his sword gone. He had a false sword made of wood and be hung this by his side and appeared at parade the next morning. Peter appeared at the. parade also. He presently began to bluster about the untidy appearance of one of the men, and apparently in towering passion, exclaimed : "Balakireff, draw your sword and cut that man down !" The poor fellow put his hand on the hilt of his wooden Bword. He looked upward reverently, as though unwilling to do so dreadful a deed. "Merciful heaven !" he said, "let my sword be turned to wood !" He drew the sword and gaz,ed at it as though a. miracle had been wrought upon it. The Czar fell into a fit of laughter, and Balakireff was allowed to escapo punishment. ■ ft Mi A COMFORTING PA8SAGB An Irishman in New England falling sick, sent for a pries?;. The priest sat down by the bedside and for the sufferer's comfort read, a few lines from a copy of Thomas a Kempis, which he chanced to have in his pocket. "That's foino," said the patient, "read it ngain." After the second reading he again requested a repetition of the passage. Then he said, "Plaze yer riv6rince, *A7ud ye sit on the bed by me and. read it again ?" Again it was read, and this was followed by another request for the Bame passage.

"$.xfjude sect AJfew weeks ago a strange appearing man, with a great mane of iron-grey hair, a long unkempt beard and wearing a queer garb fashioned somewhat after common pajamas, alighted from the train at the little town of Butler, N.J. His legs were bare and on his feet wore fastened curious sandals. He wore no hat, but his long, waving locks were held back by a yellow ribbon. The man carried in his hand a heavy cndgel, and on his back a groat bag. Without a word to tho bystanJei-B, ho made his way towaid the Ramapo hills. Those who saw tho strange figure worn fairly bowitched. Small children ran to their mothers, crying front fright. Townsmen who aro known for their bravery acted as if they had witnessed n horrid apparition. Half of Butler was startled by the sight, In a small tent up on the hillside and near a rock Mova now lives. He says that he has come to reform tho world and will begin operations in Bntler. The burden of his thought is to " live close to nature," and induce all about him to follow his' example. To live close to nature, he says, means to cat nothing but raw vegetables and fruits and wear no clothes. Butler did not object to tho first section of the formula, but it balked at tho second, Mova is otherwise known as Joseph Solomonson, though his true name is just plain Solomon, and he was at one time Belgian consul at JnA.tr, and lator, in that place, was known as a wealthy and influential exporter of coffees. He says he is the son of King Solomon, and he proclaim* himself the "Model Man." After he had been there a few days Mova went down'to tho village to buy a few parsnips and a basket of peaches. He was in his stocking feet and wore only,a garment that suggested a night gown, Butler was indignant and Meva was taken in tow by half a dozen vil lagers and marched to the town hall, where he was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Brown. To him ho pro- ~mi8od~tb~weaf"Tn"oT6~cioihirig"whiioin tho village and ho was released. A reporter found Mova reclining on a pile of sand and near the brook. He was In hia "altogether." Tho hpt sun was pouring down upon him. His long hair was tangled in tho dust Nearby was his lent, adjoining a number* of others-In which aro housed several followers of tho newest cult In America. Joseph Solomon aspires to found a big colony, somewhat after Dowlo's Zlou City, whore his followers can live and practice their theories. Ho would carry thorn back to tho primal llfo, away from all that is artificial in civilization. He Is GO years of age, though ho looks no more than 85 or 40. He comas of an old Holland family, Is an accomplished linguist and venerates the works of Richard Wagner. He visited Beyrouth six times and knows word for word all tho dramas of the great master. Uo has been called tho original Parsifal, . Meva tutt naked on tho ground and dlflcuifi-d his "mission." "I havo come here to form a natnre colony," ho said "In Swltserlsml 1 had mich a colony of men, women and children, and wo wore wntl snd happy.

"I do not drink water, for I do not sat salt. All the liquid one human system requires should be absorbed from httti* Ing, the dew, or from the air we breathe. "I require nothing from ths mineral kinfdom," went on tho old man, ss he adjusted a pair nf steel rim ned spectacles.

It is a crime to mutilate it. Follow tho sun and avoid all things artificial. Let all things rejoice you, for sorrow is a vice." Mova ran down tho rocky cliff and plunged into tho brook after he had delivered himself of this synopsis of his theories. Ho splashed about in tho cold water lor a time and then donned a queer costume of white khickorbockers and a shirt made of cotton not. "I must exercise after my bath,"hc said, and away he went to saw a heavy log with a car* pentor's tool. Not all flio occupants of tho tents in Mova's settlement are, aB he puts it, as far advanced as he is. Thoy wear fow clothes, no hats and go barefooted much of tho time. To Mova's horror, they drink milk and water, eat eggs and salt. Meva, however, saye they aro progressing. Some of the women wear one-garment dresses which are short and sleeveless They allow their hair to hang loose. Meva declares that he requires no cloth. Ing in winter. Send your watch to 0.

WANDKKING 1VI-.-.1.. Wandering Willie Watertank, of Walla Walla Wash. A peregrinating printer and good fellow, too begosh, Came recently from Texas to Seattle on the Sound, To rubberneck and chow the rag, for which he is renouncd: With hair unkempt and face unshaved and shoos that sadly showed The effects of hitting railroad ties on some rough-graded road, Ho struck the town and thereupon ho , hunted high and low For some other print who'd listen to his little tale of woe For Willie he was busted, and to him 'twas very clear That he had to get a rustle on and organize a beer; So, as it was early morning, to achieve his juicy aim He would take among the day shops and get there just, tho same;" Ho was likewise hungry and thought that some old chum Perchance would havo a pie card, whereof a meal he'd bum. So that twasin this yearning humor Wandering Willie strayed Into tho Mercuiy office, by terror undismayed, And he told his taleful story in a meek . and tired way- How he'd walked up from Puyallup since early break of day; How nothing buta turnip and a draught from babbling streams Had he to bring contentment o'er the spirit of his dreams. So Willie got his grub stake and the price, too, for his beer, And in about an hour returned full of good cheer, And sitting in our only chair regaled us with his jokes. Interspersed with hobo stories of other tourist blokes; And we asked him, midst the laughter. of his title, style, and name, "Well, I'll tell you," said ho, 'pardnors, I'm a duck of varied fame. -, ''Oh, I'm the czar of the tourists; I'm a traveller gay; I'm the box car artist who scorns what brakeyesay, I'm the dude of tho dingbat on the great panhandle line; I'm the boss of the growler and In curbstone sessions shine; I'm the festive roadster known from Yamhill to Oshkosh As Wandering Willie Watertank, of Walla Walla Wash." —Seneca G. Ketchum. Popw Cr*et& MTnes The following, written by H. J. Baron, staff correspondent of tho Mining Reporter, published at Denver, Colorado, In reference to Poplar- district, is of interest as coming from a man who has had a largo experience tn tho mining camps of tho west: "Tho district, whilo not now to prospectors (locations along Poplar crcok having been made ton years ago), first attracted considorabloattention in Juno of last year by tho discovery of rich gold quartz (from which, perhaps, tho finest gold specimens In the province wero taken) on tho Lucky Jack claim on Poplar creok and about 200 fret from tho railroad tracks. With tho excite rnent and rush Incidental to this discovery, there has grow up a town of substantial log and frame buildings usod ss hotels, stores and dwelling housos. All lines of business are fairly well represented, Including a woekly newspaper. Whon tho writer visited tho cami) the inhabitants, numbered, 160, and mining operations wore almost at a standstill. On seeing the splendid surface showings on a number of pros- poets and partially developed properties one cannot understand tho apathy shown by tho claim owners during tho past twelve months. Even taking Into consideration Jtho logs! com plication* over the the Lucky Jack discovery tlaim, the id).iit«_of 'ho cauip remain* Inexplicable, Onn Is slmost inclined to the belief that the claim owners not only are lacking In development money but also In nerve to sink shafts or drive tunnels (the precipitous rl«* of the hilts offering rare opportunities for ths 1st* ter) In ths exploration ol the ground at depth. Considorsblti desultory surface work, hai, however, been done on a number of properties, and In every instance (he gold valuts are reported to be very generally uniform, ••The district embraces a small arm of the taw«»r Lsrdcau river boata Mow Trout Isle, the loesttons on wblcb any work hss been done being along Poptsr snd lispld creeks, which empty into the fjsrdfwtn rivmr about one snd a half miles apart, •'Tho mlnerall-M veins occur ia .* i » «»..«.„. „,*.*,)„ .„» •„*.. „*, , .,*,... .,,... ... . , . t% **Ti*f*Af»,r,*if», r-hWIMf **W*lii *n<t phyllttee, with ocraslfinsl bands of limetones. constitute tbe rocks of the belt whlfh presumably extends north* westerly across Silver Cup mountain, .. • ii..,..,, >*.,*-,,>.„ .*„»i,«,.«,. .,„, '*i' - ' ■ * - ■- ' ■* *p ■ Ilea of the fairly well traced central belt of the Lard-ran country Thoro sra two vein systems, one paralleling tbe ecbltt format ton nwthwwt-senlhmtf. soother coursing alraott north-south across (lift formation The veins are fairly well dinned and very numeum, TH* ffoM eeeurs In the (.nartt, In the tttlj'bldM snd even in lbs country rock inclusions. The values are not evenly distributed, and in some cases, where no gold is visible, both the quartz and sulphides pan readily Arsenical iron pyrites aro common, and are usually rich iu freo gold, sonio of which is often visible. It is curious to note the rich mineralization in the schist which, In mofit cases, forms ill-defined walls and Is, perhaps, moro properly regarded as a pay streak parting. Mineralogists who have visited tho district, however, are not inclined to believo that tho schist will carry pay values at depth, holding rather that the quartz, with its associated sulphidos, galena and arsono pyrites, will mako tho mines. As in all free-milling camps exceedingly high assays are obtainable, but tho moro conservative liguro an average of tho values botwoon $0 and 125. With it known largo arcs of auriferous ground, Its splondid transportation facilities, Its abuudanco of timber for all purposes, Its water svailablo from Lardeau river, Poplar and Rapid crooks, Its unexcelled doep tunnel opportunities, etc., the csmp certainly merits tho attention of mining men and tho required development capital." IUISU M1NKB8 There li an old saying that "God Is good to the Irish." And Indwtl it does look ss though Ho wore In the matter of mining.

"Should it dp so," he said, "1 have already secured land In England to erect our factories. Hy business is that of a manufacturer of cotton blanket/*, and 1 employ 2700 men. Nine-tenths of my trade is done with India, Australia, Africa and England. Consequently I shall either have to close down or come over to you, if Mr. Chamberlain's policy is adopt* «1. Come it must, sooner or later, but I feel confident thai for some time British stupidity wilt hold the field."
