NUMBER 17 BACK FROM THE LARDEAU. The Lade Brothers, Vincent and Jim, returned on Tuesday from tbe Lardeau, where tbey bad been workiug this summer in developing their big gold-tellur- ide property, the Ijftde group. The main work done on tbis property this Beason consisted of a cross-cut tunnel, which will on completion cut tbo lead ut a good depth, now in 72 feet. A specimen from this group, showing free gold in plenty, was forwarded to the Spokane Fruit Fair and attracted mnch attention in the mineral exhibit. At the close of the Fair the specimen WW taken to the Spokane Chamber of Commeree, where it ia now on exhibition. This Benson has seep big improvements made in the prospects in the Lardeau <;ountry. More assessment work has been done and the country opened up more during the last year than iu all other years combined and less relocating lias consequently been done. The system of relocating claims is felt as a drawback to the Lardeau, as it is In the Slocan or any other section. Mr. Lade tells, lor example, of onesUker wbo holds claims and interests amounting to the grand total of 75. How an ordinary prospector •is tbis mun is staled to bo, can hope to •perform bis attiiual aises*n-*H*t-* is a puzzle—if he intended to. Unfortunately the Lardeau has no corner on this class of people. THE HALL MINES. J. D, O'Farrell, writing to Uie Toronto Globe, touches tho quick in the following references to tbe management of.the Hall Mines and their smelter. Mr. O'Farrell is "evidently an old timer in anil around mining camps and knows whereof he writes. Ho says--The Hall mines gave to Nelson iu lirrt boom. The chief of then** is the Silver King. The Silver King ledge contains oro enough to run a largo smelter for a hundred years and about 200 men are employed by the mines and smelter company. The ore is low-grade about 16 ounces of silver, 2 or '" per cent copper and a dollar or two iu gold. - That is about $11 o.r * 12 ore. In the mining, smelling and dressing of this class of ore there is a fair in-ruiu of profit, provided there i.s economical miuing and capable smelter nianaueineut. The Anaconda company makes over $5,000,000 a y>*ar profit ou ore uf similar value, but then the Aua- i-onda Company is maun j-ed by Marcus Daly, and the Hall Mined Company is managed by a London 1-o.n.l. Therefore the Hall Mines Company hss only paid one dividend. To-day I was admirim? tho talent of a mine manager who built a mill for treating free-milling ore ou the crest of a mountain close to Nelson. He spent $15,000 building a mill before he hud spent $500 opening up Ihe vein to tind whether he had ore to treat or uot. Had ho found the ore in tho vein he would have had toconsiruct an elevator te raise the ore to the mill. He was doiug business oo the same lines as the crank who spent a fortune in devising means to raise th<"* waters of the Avon to the top of an overhanging mountain in order create water-power. Stoping has been commenced at ths Wakefield mino and the force will be largely increased. On Sunday last tbe Ruth mine people knocked down flO.000 worth of ore with one blast. This is the biggest business in that way we over heard of.—Review. New bunk houses and offices havo Just been built at tbe Queen Hess mine. The buildings are painted and arranged in the latest manner and are made comfortable and attractive for the men*. A new trail to the Essex group is being surveyed and is to be built at once. Work has been started in a new place on the vein, still further down the mountain and indications are that ore will be struck in a very few feet. Gus. Kruger has taken a contract to sink a thirty foot shaft on the Pembroke claim, which is situated between the Galena Mines and Laura Doonu. Tbe work will be rushed us the owners wish to Crown Grant the property tbis fall. Cabins and cuok-house havo beer, built on the Marion claim and the property is to he worked in earnest this Winter. Although only four n.eu aro at present at the ulaiiu tbe force is to be largely increased at once. A cook goes to the mine on Monday to look after the inner man of the miners. A foot of snow hns fallen at tbe Comstock mines aud raw-hiding to the ..agon road of ore for re-shipment has commenced. Several cailouls ofc-icm ore will be sbippod at oir.-e and 5-10 ions of concentrating ore ii to bo deliver*, at the concentrator, to twiij-utl in a test lun. The contract (or the concentrator calls for it to be completed and running by the 15lh. of January next. Ike 'Ihonipf-ijii .ii**- Jack Smith, who have been miming a cross-cut tunnel io tap the Mollie Gibson vt>iu on Teu Mile, which is now in CO feet, have suspended work for the time btiug. The property comprises two claim- known us the MollieGibsou uihl Yirglnns and tbey havo a Hue - surface abating the ledge uvernging four feet iu width.

Eorjtttfhsurface work baa been done showing the ledge to b« a tissurt* and thu cross-cut tunnel when cnmpleted will tap it deep enou.'i to prove its true value. J W Kirkwood is back from the I'tave River country and intends to remain in ihe Slocan for Uie winitr, but may return to the north in the spring aud resume his ,irospeciing trip at the point where he and his partners lelt off. He reports more or less gold i:i that country but uo diggings, of any great value have as yet beeu discovered, His party traveled by water using l'eieboro canoes and penetrating hundreds of miles into an almost uoexplored conntrv. He believes thateveq tually gulch gold will be discovered on Ihe head waters of some of these streams. THE LAND OF PRETTY SOON. I know a land where the streets are paved With the things wo mean to achieve, It is walled with the money we meant to have saved, And the pleasures for which we grieve. The kind words unspoken, the promises broken, And ninny a converted boon, Are stored away in (hat laud eomewhere- The land of "pretty soon" Then* are uncut jewels of possible fame Lving about in ihe dust, And many a noble and lofty aim Covered with mold and rust; Aod O, this place, while it seems so near. Is farther nwny than the moon, Though our purpose ia fair, yet we never get thcre- To the land of "pretty soon." The road that leads to that myst'j land Is strewn with pitiful wrecks, And the ships thnt have sailed fur this shining strand Bear skeletons on their decks. It is further away at noon than it was at dawn, And further at night than at noou; O! let us beware of thai land down there- Thu land of "pretty soon." —Ella Whtemr Wilcox.

The originator of the following gentle method of punishment wonld have made a grand 6Ui*ceps a* master of ceremonies iu the Spanish inquisition. His way of treating the members of the court of cassation would be "alter having been dulv drawn up in single file, an executioner duly trained to the work, should cut off their eyelids, so as to leave tbo eyeball denuded, aud then spiders of tlie most venemout kind should be inclosed in nutshells and applied to the eyeballs, properly fastened behind the culprit* heads. The spiders in a famished condition would slowly and gradually feed on the culprits' eyeballs until nothing but ghastly cavities remained.

A big strike has been Blade hi tlie famous Standard mine «t Wallace, Id. Op Thursday night the .eroiweut from the first (fiaft level, at a depth of 200 feet below the long tunnel, struck the ore in the big vein. Since then the miners hnVe crosscut nine feet in amost solid galena, (Hi per cent of which is clean shipping ore. This is the first level opened below the permanent water line in t^ns mine, **nd gives assurance of the continuity in depth of this great ore chute. The strike, is 1100 feet below the surface. The ore assays from U Tin 70 per cent in leud, and from 58 to <>1 ounces in silver. This is even better than the line ore bodies hIh>vc, from whicli the Slaiwlftl'^, people have paid their great dividends running from $.V),(MM) to lii.SO.OOO per month.

Right feet of ore has been uncovered, averaging,^ per cent popper, $50 in gold and 10 ounces in silver, which, according to present prices of copper .-and 'silver, gives a total value ot $100.10 *ier ton.

The new find is the richest thnt has ever been discovered in the niine'with the exception of the ore in the llidpath stope, which carries about equal values. / Tbo recent discovery was made in a peculiar way. The ledge at the point where tlie ore was found is about 00 feet wide, and ore in it occurs in* streaks. Development** of the-mine had been carried on in one of these streaks, which had been stoped for a width of 20 feet. A large body of low-grade ore was removed on tbe footwall side of the stope. Last week Superintendent Tfegeflr put a machine at work crojscutting the low- grude rock,'which proved to be alwut 19 leet thick, when it gave way to an eight- foot body of .splendid..gold-eoppcr ore lying close to the footwall. >.-c<l Concentrutlnf- riant*.

Falmouth, (let. 16.—The Hritish steamer Mohegan, Captain ('ninths, belonging td the Atlantic Transport Company, has been wrecked in the vicinity «'i 1 he Lizard, between the Manacles and the lowlands, it is believed about 143 persona were drowned. Ths Mohegan left London for New ■- ork Thursday, baring on bourd, so far us ascertained at present, so passenger* mid a crew of 118. When the steamer was seen in distress, lifeboats went out from the shore and every effort was made to save the passengers. Tho const ut this point is extremely dangerous und has been Ihe scene of numerous wrecks. The general opinion is thai the machinery of the Moht'Kan became disabled' during the heavy easterly gale which was blowing und she run ashore and foundered. A number of tugs, which put out from Ibis port to the assistance of the Alohe- gan were compelled to return without being able to approach the vessel, owing to the severity Of the weather. The life boats landed 31 of the passengers and crew. One of the former, u woman, died after being brought ashore. There are rumors unconfirmed as this dispatch is sent that another lifeboat succeeded In saving six more persons. , The survivors of the .Mohegan without exception speak in the highest terms of the devotion, heroism and coolness displayed by the officers and crew of the ill- fated steamer, antl declare that all were instantly at their posts when it was known that she had struck. '1 ae nerilotu position of the ship was noticed on shore and 11 warning rocket was sent up, but it was loo lute then to avoid the catastrophe, which occurred so suddenly that there was not sufficient time to get nil the life saving apparatus out of the ship. The terror of the scene was Indescribable men jumped overboard in an agony of despair, and the women passengers htid- tlhsi together und refused 10 leave the deck. Ihe officers remained on the bridge lo the last and many instances of sacrifice are recorded, Members of the crew are known to have stood by and watched the boats launched ami put nil when it was apparent that these were the only menus by which their own lives could be saved. A lifeboat with a load of 4(1 passengers on its way to the shore, passed many win were battling for their lives in the water, whom il was impossible to save. The villagers, beaded by the vicar nn.l coast guard, stood on the shore and cheered the bout. When the lifeboat entered the little cove the fishermen waded into the sea to help drag the exhausted survivors to their homes, which hud already been prepared for their reception ami the vicar attended the injured. Then the lifeboat was again launched and put out for the wreck, on its outward journey, picking up three survivors. Ihe trip to the wreck was fruitless, so far ns taking any one from the vessel was concerned, but on its way back to the shore Hi other survivors were taken from tin Shore, This was just before daybreak. The latest list of the rescued shows that only 11 passengers were saved, including the Pembertons and n maid named Began or Kyuj.11. The name R.

The liealthfulnesa of bicycle riding for women is still a disputed question between eminent physicians and health refoiiners.
