A. McDonald of tjjp Vancouver Miije
spent the first of tbe week in the hospital, suffering from an ulcerated  eye.
L Chisholra, has just completed asses?,
ment work on tho L, II. C. claim, on the

looking well.
jV plaper excitement has sprung into
existence at Slocan Junction, and several
olaims have hoed staked with possible
millions in them.
Machinery is to be put in at the
Evening Star mine on Lemon creek.
This property is coming to the front
<-!mu-. rapidly and belongs to 11-itli
Sutherland.
Al Wilds and Douglas Darg took to Ihe

Mine Inspector Macgicgor visited tho
Silverton Mines on Tuesday and Wednesday Mr. Macgregor -predicto many
changes for Hit* better in the mining
laws, during tho next session *4 the

bunk-houses. •
Messrs Tinling, Webb and Brant, have
pone over onto Coffey creek to put in a
trail to tho Sellersjgroup, io which they
.ire interested. They have had un offer
to sell this property, but concluded to
luriner developo it before trying to dispose of it.
A sample, taken by parties who examined the Sellers group with a view of
purchasing the property, gave returns ol
1017 ounces in silver and fc.0 in gold per
Ion. It is needlesa to say they made an
'iffer for the property, which so fur has
been rejected by the owners.
Talk of the re opening of the Mountain
Chief mine is again hoard in New

facilities on the Lake.
The fact that tin, of all the metals in
common use, is only sparingly distributed throught tbe world ia again called attention to by an Australian geoloaistMr.
B. J. Skertchley, who has published a
monograph upon the subject, While the
known gold fields of the world cover
more than 1,600,000 square miles, the tin
fields have an area of less than 12,500
square miles. Thus, tor every square
mile of tin ground theee are 132 square
miles of gold bearing country.
SLOCAN   CITY   BREEZES.
From On, Begu»a- Correspondent.
Editor Bilv-btonun:-
Events of interest in our City
outside of the mining industry were not
Plentiful during tho past week. There
is a general quietness prevaili*-_ in business ami consequently our buMness men
have a good opportunity to take a rest
and take an occasional plunge iu the lake
to cool and refresh themselves. To sse
the wny in which they enlist recruits for
bathintr every afternoon reminds your
correspondent of his boyhood days.
There was a new arrival in town the
other day-a youn_ lady—the guest of
Mr. and Mrs McLeod, and intends making making her home with thctn for
some years to come. We all hope she
will like her home. Mr. McLeod asks
"wbat'll you have?" of all ho meet,i.
Some of our leading citizens enjoyed
themselves by rowing to Six Mile and
eating cold grub on Sunday—calling it a
picnic—and had a good time.
There has been a verv destructive forest fire rauing in Arlington Basin for the
last week aud Brown's Hotel, an old
landmark in the Basin, is burned. No
lives reported lost and no insurance to
collect.
Hugh O. Sutherland is hack again and
will start work on tho trail to tbe Evening Star at once, in order to get machinery to the mine as soon as possible.
Johfc Bosche went up to the Alberta
mine on Wednesday with a pack train
loaded with supplies. He intends to operate tho mine all winter. The property
is looking well and some high grade ore
is being taken out.
Mr. Fergusou is working the Tail Holt
which shows a two-foot ledseof good ore.
The Slocan Ideal Mining Co. are pushing work on the Ottawa Mine and expect
to tap tlie lodge with their cross-rcut tunnel in a few days. \
Thos. Mulvey was down from the Calumet and Hecla in Dayton Basin last
Sunday and reports good progress boing
made in their tunnel.

SPOKANE  FRUIT FAIR.
The Fifth Annual Spokano Fruit Fair
will open Tuesday Oct. 4th. and close
Saturday Oct. 15th. The public spirited
citiiens of Spokane have contributed ami
guaranteed nearly $15,000 to insure the
financial success of tha undertaking. The
premium li.-t, at all times liberal, has
lieen greatly added to this year. The
capital prise contest-For finest and most
artistically arranged arranged county or
district exhibit of Fruit. GruiDB, Grasses,
Roots and Vegetables" wiil this year
draw the following magnificent prizes:
First the $100. Dodson Cup (at present
held hy Whitnan County) and $200. cash,
second $200. cash, third $100. cash, fourth
cash $75. fifth, cash $50. sixth, cash $25.
In addition tht-reto there will, this year,
be givon outright in this competition
three Silver Trophies (also dona'ed by
Mr. GeorgoR Dobson, Jeweler, Spokane)
of almost equal value to the Capital Prize
Cup, which will bo awarded as follows:
One for the county or district making the
best exhibit of horticultural products:
one to the county or district making the
best exhibit of agricultural products: and
iiiuvto the county or district which ahal*
most artistically arrant*** its exhibits.
This year's Fruit Fair will lie on a
larger nnd grander Hi':ile than any of its
predecessors, and the musical and other
attractions will be u grand surprise to its
patrons. From an attraction standpoint
the leading features of tbis year's Fair
will bo the moving picTues, on a mammoth scale, of all the latesi war scenes
by sea and land, which havo heen secured
in tlie east at great cost. Many of the
now famous battles scenes at the Philippines, Cuba and Puerto Kico will b? reproduced w lib thrilling effect at each evening performance of tho Fair. A nominal admission of fifteen cents will again
admit the visitor to all the features of
tho Fair. Tbe various transportation
companies centering at Spokane have
put into effect a 2-cent per mile passenger rate effective at all times throughout
the Fair.
MINERAL BEARING  FORMATIONS
Following is an interesting extract
from a lecture by Prof. Arthur Lake on
somo old theories upset by recent discoveries.
But a few years ago prospectors only
panned and placormined on a small and
rude Bcale. Later tho discoveries in
placers led up to the eourco of the ores in
the rocks, principally in fissure veins in
granite, and fissure veins in granito
were for a time th o only fashionable ore
deposits.
The discovery of Leadville with its
lead ores in limestone threw the balance
in favor of limestone deposits. Limestones of all kinds and ages were prospected whatever mat with until   men
realized that limestone alone was not
thegj-eat ore-bearing or ore-producing
rock unless Jt was accompanied by
igneous porphyry. Limestone might be
followed, even those of Lower Carboniferous age like those of Leadville and
Aspen, over wide' areas and be found
quite barren, if there was no eruptive
rocks in the vicinity; limestone was
recognized as the ore receptacle, rather
that! ore-brinuing rock.
Ii was then believed tbat the eruptive
igneous rocks were the ore-bringers, and
attention was deflected to them and to
their zones of contact with other rocks.
This resulted in the discovery of many
a decomposed, ore-impregnated dyke of
igneous porphyry that, without being a
veiu in any true sense of the word, at
any rate offered material for very profitable mining, such, tor instance, as the
gold dyke of the De Lamar of Idaho and
the well known Antioch mine of Leadville.
With the fall in silver and the necessity for gold, prospectors left the limestone alono and paid still closer attention
to the crystalline and eruptive rocks.
The granite and their fissure veins were
ransacked for gold, porphyry dikes were
overhauled and their lines of contact
with other crystalline rocks closely ob-
setved, and shafts were driven deeper
in search of the "more precious metals,
and, finally, attention was turned by the
discovery of Cripple Creek to the hitherto more or less neglected, coniparitive-
ly recent, surface lavae.
Cripple Creek showed how au area
once occupied by a volcano and covered
deeply with unpromising decomposed
surface lavas, called andesitic breccia,
might be disturbed again by moro recent
lavas of au essentially gold-bearing character, commonly known as phonolite
dykes, -ml that generally the whole region was not only penetrated by innumerable gold-bearing fissures, but that the
very country rock itself, whether phono-
lite or ondesite, was more or less impreg
nated with gold.
END OF THE CENTURY PRAYER.
Protect me, Lord, from these Thy saints,
the sanctimonious few;
Oh, save me from their clutched when
mv rrrartgnw come doe;
Oh put -me not into the hands of these,
the men of won,
Who call this earth a ''vale of tears" and
strive to make it eo.
Oh piard me from the blue nosed good
who lend at cent percent,
And take a thousand dollar lien for ninety dollars rent,
Make nie instead, the debtor ot   Bome
man with human taints!
At any rato protect me, Lord, trotn these
Tin- modern saint--.
Their thoughts are far from mortal life,
they never, never sin ;
They strive to bring to righteousness the
very men they skin ;
They never go a step astray; they never
deign to smile;
They sin not and they only aim to castigate the vi'.o.
But oh! wbv should they deem it best
with cold and holy arts,
To rivet sheet-iron shields around their
hard and atony hearts?
Their ears are deaf enough, God wot, to
pleading and complaint,
And bo 1 pray protect me, Lord, from
these, Thy modern saints!
Oh, save me from the sanctified, the too
uncommon good,
Who tell us what wo shouldn't do and
preach ns what wo should.
These saints who squeeze a dollar twice
and wear cheap aure jles
Will take our children's bread and then
attempt to save their souls I
Give me instead a worldly man,  with
some few healthy stains,
That shows he has the common blood of
mankind in his veins.
And heart that swells enough sometimes
enough to overflow constraints,
And in my need protect mo. Lord, from
self-appointed saints!

The Calumet nil- Henla Is Nearly
SOOO Feet Deep—The Ve Hoi Mine
Sale Still tn "Litigation—Rich Gold
Field* In Montana—Brief Mlnlns
Note*.
The Denver Republican publishes some
very interesting details of the famous Calumet and Hecla mine of Michigan, which
now has the deepest mining shaft in the
world.   The shaft is now 4900 feet-deep-
deeper than any of the deep mines on the
Comstock, Nevada, and deeper than the
deepest mines in Austria, which have been
worked for centuries.    The main shaft
haa si_ compartment-, each of which is aa
large as an ordinary shaft, one for thc
ladderways and the sixth for the wires
and pipes, which are necessary  for the
telephones, light, power, waiter and compressed air.   The remarkable feature of
this great mine is Uiat the course of the
vein is so undeviating that the engineers
can plan work ahead for thousands of feet
with absolute certainty that the actual
working will agree with the plans.   As a
result the underground workings are laid
out   with  mathematical   accuracy.   Tlie
great pumps that hoist thousands of gallon* of water every hour areOperated interchangeably by compressed air and electricity.   There are 300 power drills constantly in operation, each of them doing
the work of six men, operated by compressed air, and these are kept at work
night and day.   Every ton of ore hoisted
is automatically registered in the office.
The Le Roi Trouble*.
The British America Corporation can
not buy the majority of the stock of the
Le  Roi   Mining  k   Smelting   Company.
Judge Richardson of the Spokane superior
court has signed a restraining order which
prohibits the holders of the majority of
the stock from  selling to  the  British
America. Corporation, and likewise prohibits the big syndicate from buying, the
stock and the Le Roi company from transferring it.   After reviewing the testimony
and arguments presented, the court said
in preface to its order: "The court is of
the opinion and holding that under the
laws of this state one corporation may
not acquire shares of stock or any stock
in another corporation, and further, that
under the constitution and laws of this
state the acquiring of a majority of the
shares' of stock in a domestic corporation
owning realty within the state of Wash
ington by an alien corporation, such as
the British America Corporation, would
subject aaid domestic corporation to a for
feKurc "f its real estate, and to a forfeiture -t iU,    i,>t to do "Bt-un-w within the
state."
The case has not been tried on its merits and will come up in the regular order
for final settlement The stockholders affected by the injunctions were at a Ions
to know last evening what step would be
next taken. The suit for damages in the
aum of $780,000 is yet to be heard, and
the case involving the appointment of the
receiver at Rossland is to come up for
hearing some time this week in Victoria.
There ia prospect for much tedious litigation.
Hew Gold Field*.
Reports from the Sheepeater district, in
Montana, indicate that that portion of
ftirk county's gold fields rivals the famed
Klondike, says the Livingston Enterprise.
While it offers none of the hardships to
the gold hunters endured by the Alaskan
argonauts, the find promises to involve a
legal  contest  that may  temporarily at
least interfere with the continued produc
tion of the yellow metal from the pockets
or veins which produce almost fabulous
yields. The discovery was made some time
since by P. Dougherty, Felix McCarthy
and N. C. Henderson, who began opera-
tions and were making good wages by
employing the primitive method of taking
. out the rock and treating ft in a rocker
I located some distance away on a mountain stream.   Later they made a discovery
upon the Legal Tender at a point where
the heavy rains of the past season had
caused a slide from the old opening in the
mine, exposing a formation much resembling the formation about the park geysers.    This rock when  handled by the
rocker process yields readily to treatment,
a greater portion being dissolved by the
simple action of the water, while that
which is too hard and resist- this primitive treatment ia. thrown on a dump for
future milling process.   The entire force
employed ln taking out the decomposed
rock, moving it from the mine to the rocker and washing it ie not to exceed eight
men, and it is authoritatively stated that
ibe daily yield is from $125 to $200.
Canyon Creek Strike.
There waa a good strike made in the
Black Bear, on Canyon creek, near Wallace, Idaho, a few days ago.   The ore is
eight feet wide and assays show it to contain 65 per cent lead and 30 ounces of silver.   The Black Bear was worked quite
extensively some yearn ago and yielded
good returns ito the owners.   During the
financial panic it was mortgaged and has
kin idle most of the time since.   There ia
a concentrator on the property, and aa do-
.  velopment work progresses it should pay
well.
The Hon n lain  I.I on.
The Mountain Lion ledge at Republic
haa not yet been .crosscut and it ia the
wonder of mining men who visit it. The
ore in the ledge along the aides of the tunnel measures 40 feet. It ahould be remembered, however, that the tunnel ia cutting
the ledge at an angle of about 30 degrees,
hence the true width of the ore body is
considerably leas than thc figure mentioned, but present ind'eationa an that there
will be no lea* than 40 feet ot ore.   It is
still the universal belief that the east
ledge has not been reached. There is three
feet of thia ore that assay* $80 per ton.
Bltv Strike In Idaho..
E. A. Parisot and Stewart Woodaide
have returned to Florence, Idaho, from
Buffalo Hump, and they say" that Rigley
and Robbing, the proapectore who made
the recent discoveries, did not exaggerate
in the least when they said they had "30
feet of solid quartz." The ledge is even
wider and there is sufficient ore in sight
to last a lifetime. Mr. Woodaide ia an old
mTner and ifiillraan with 25 yeare*~experi-
i'iiit, and was one of the first, in 1870, to
go from Virginia City, Nev., to the Bkck
Hills, and from there to the Coeur
d'Alenes. When asked what lie thought
of it, he said that it was simply wonderful, the biggest thing in the shape of
quartz he hud ever seen. Twenty-four feet
of tlie vein gave $34.81 in gold, nine feet
$458.17, and three feet $712.17. The two
latter assays carry about one-eighth in
silver. This is evidently one of the great
est strikes ever made in Idaho, with possibly the exception of the Custer mine at
"onanza City in 1877.
Mining   Ilrli-r*.
The mines of Butte and Anaconda yield
11,(KM) tons per day.
The assay office at Boise shipped $23,-
041.53 in July.
The bullion receipts at the branch mint
at Denver during July were $2,001,349.48.
It is reported that the thermometer at
Dawson City has registered aa high as 110
F. this summer.
"Cemsite" is the name given a lead ore
in the form of small white needles or
fibers, slightly resembling asbestos.
The De Lamar mine in Nevada has
tried a steam wagon for transporting ores
and the result linn been so satisfactory
that a larger one has been ordered.
The highest price for silver in the lust
10 years was on August 20, 1890, when it
reached $1.19.} per ounce. It is about 50
per cent lower today.
The Hope mine near Salmon City, Idaho, is reported sold to the English syndicate which operates the Drum Lunimon
mine at Maryaville, Mont. The price waa
$75,000.
Application for a patent will not hold a
mining claim. The requisite annual assessment work must be done until final
entry ia complete and the purchase money paid.
Hon. Charles H. Mackintosh of the British America Corporation lias purchased a
residence in Vancouver, and his family
will reside there, while he will spend most
of his time in Rossland.
In ita report for the year ending June
30, 1898, the Victor (Colo.) Gold Mining
Company estimates that the cost of producing each dollar of gold value during
the year was 40 cents. '
It is said that the North .Star company
in East Kootenay is doing assessment
work on 21 claims in the vicinity of the
mine. Tlie shaft on the property is to be
sunk to the 300-foot level.

the person who can make a good lire under disadvantages has a proud position
and is likely to be the star of the camp.
There is a widespread idea that It takes
deep occult lore to build a good camp
fire in the rain, knowledge that must be
learned from gypsies or Indians. Gypsies and Indians know how to do it, but
there is nothing mysterious in tlie accom-
plisliment. Any one can learn it To
begin with, you must learn to keep your
matches dry—and before that, to be sure
you have matches. Leather match cases
are likely to let the matches get damp;
carry a metal one. Then always make a
'habit of having some old newspaper in
your best protected- pocket You can
get on without it, but it is good woodcraft to do things the easiest way, and
the paper makes firebuilding easy. Select a place for the fire where it won't set
either timber or tents ablaze.
Clear the ground around it of inflammable trash; a few stones roughly piled
up between it and - the wind will often
save more time than it takes to gather
and place them.
If everything Is soaking look for a
fallen tree or an old stump; shave off the
surface at one spot and then you can get
good dry splinters from the old wood beneath; often a little "grubbing" in the

President McKinley and the members
of Iii8jcahinct arc unanimous in the determination that one of the first official acts
toward bringing about a restoration 61
peace und order in Cuba ahull be the dis-
bandij*.i'iit of the Cuban army. As there
is no longer a Spanish army in the field
in Culfa, there is no longer any reason for
the wjiatenoe of tlie Cuban army, and it
is therefore to be regularly mustered out
of seriiie. The government has no idea,
however, of adopting the quixotic idea of
paying the Cuban soldiers fur their services luring the war or assuming the responsibility for their payment. If the
idea were not in itself altogether a fanciful one there are at least three good reasons Why, in the opinion of the president,
it would not he wise to adopt it:
1. 'Die United .States would not under
any cmuii-sUiiices bo justilied in paying
a debt it does not owe.
2. There i.s no appropriation out of
which such payment could he made, and
it would he necessary for congress to first
appropriate the money.
3. To place such a large sum of money
as would lie required in the hands of the
destitute and impoverished rank and file
of the insurgent army would result in
their utter deiiuirali/.atinii and be responsible for nil sorts of disorders.
IMiui for Payment
The president has, however, a plan in
mind by which the insurgent army cun
be disbanded without the necessity of
turning the soldiers adrift witli no sort of
recognition of their services. The plan
contemplates tbe grunting of an honorable discharge to each soldier, accom
panied by a certificate of service and i
promissory obligation, signed by the Cuban general in chief, to be made good out
of the public resources when the Cubans
shall have established the stable government which the United States has pledged
itself to help bring into existence.
In addition to thus providing for the
soldiers of the Cuban army, the plan under consideration by the president con
templates the mustering into the United
States volunteer army of a large number
of Cuban soldiers who are American citizens. Their services could be used to good
advantage as members of the various immune regiment- to be maintained on gar-
rison duly in Cuba.
Tho plan above outlined has the approval of some of the highest officer's of
the Cuban army, nnd is likely to be put
into operation very soon. '

The ideal uniform should be suitable
for the season and tlie place and circumstances under which it is worn. The color should 'be that which mostly resembles
that of dried grass, so tliat soldiers wearing it should be as little in evidence as
possible. Tho red and glaring uniforms
°1 tlie British soldier of years ago has bean
entirely discarded by that government
for the reason that it too clearly indicated
the wearer to an enemy. It proved
to be the most fatal color that haa yet
been devised. On the other hand, statistics provo that the Austrian gray is the
least fatal. Where seventeen soldiers
wearing the British red fell by the bullets of an enemy only seven who wore
rifle green, six and a half who wore
brown, and five who wore the Austrian
bluish-gray fell. General Robert E. Lee
who made an investigation into this matter when he was in charge of West Point,
before the war of the Rebellion, made a
report in favor of gray as the color for
uniforms, and ever since then the cadets
at West Point have worn uniforms of
that color, lt was also for this same reason that General Lee adopted the gray-
colored uniform for the Confederate army.
The crack regiments of the country, the
Seventh regiment of New York, the Fifth
regiment of Maryland, and others wore
gray uniforms before the war in consequence of General Lee'a report. There is
no doubt that soldiers are hit in battle
according to Uie color of their uniform.
In the last war the union cause lost many
a thousand men who would not have been
lost had the uniform been less decided in
color. The dark blue uniforms worn by
officers the first two years of Uie war
were especially fatal, as they gave sharpshooters an easy way to distinguish officers. It is needless to say that the dark
blue waa very generally discarded by
officers before the war was over, especially
for real engagement uniform. Any color
will do for parades, practice and the like,
but when it comes to fighting Uiat which
makes the soldier less conspicuous is the
least fatal for war. The new canvas uniform affords less opportunities to an
enemy than any other which has ever
been designed, and from a distance an
approaching army can hardly be distinguished by the naked eye, because the
color is so allied to that of the dried grass
over which the army is marching.

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.
Mrs W K Pax-ton, Youngtown,
North Dakota, writes about her struggle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
" Dear Mas. Pinkhai*"*.—It is with
pleasure that f add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your valuable medicine.
"After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. 1 had leucorrhcea badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until I could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Menstruations were very profuse, appearing every two weeks.
" I took medicine from a good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. I waa
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when 1 read your advertisement in a
paper. I sent at once for a bottle of
Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Com-
poimd, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle I felt so much better that I
send for two more. After using three
bottles I felt as strong and well aa any
one.
"I think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady 1 meet suffering from this trouble."
Maternity is a wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice i.s beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax-
ton had written to Mrs Pinkham before confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham a
address la Lynn, Mass.

The two trains which were in the collision wero usually combined into one
long train, but as the trullic today wits
so heavy it was divided, the first section
running as a local accommodation, while
the second, whieh started from Mansfield
15 minutes later than the first, ran as an
express. The local train due at Sharon
at 7:0*2 was 13 minutes late, lt left Muni-
tield on time, making two stops, and had
lost 13 minutes between Mansfield and
Slumm. lt woe due in (Vinton Junction,
the uaxt station beyond Sharon, two minutes ahead of the express train, which
should huve passed it there. Slumm is
situated on a eurve and both the outward
and inward tracks are protected by electric block signals. After the accident
it was thought the block signals protecting the inward track were set at danger,
showing, as it was intended, that thsre
was a train in the station.
There was no warning given by the
conductor of the Mansfield local to show
the track was not clear at the station,
and it woe not until he was within 300
feet of the station that the engineer of
the express noticed anything wrong. He
immediately set all brakes and whistled
a warning, hut it was too late to stop
the express, lt crashed into the rear
car, splitting it asunder and completely
demolishing it with the exception of the
roof. Its speed was not slackened until
the engine had penetrated fully five feet
into the rear of the second car. Thc es-
euping steam entered the car and badly
scalded a number of the occupants. The
roof of the last car woe forced on top
of the engine of the express and remained there, as the only portion of the car
intact.
Thr   Engineer'*   Story.
Engineer Getchcll and Fireman Holmes
of the express train both jumped. Getchcll was cut and bruised about the head.
He stated after the accident that he left
Mansfield promptly on time, and there
was no incident until he was within 400
feet of Uie Mansfield train. Then he saw
the red lights of thnt train and shut off
steam. Meanwhile he hud whistled for
brakes and used every effort to stop his
train.
Kvery one of the killed and injured was
on the Mansfield local, and the only explanation of tlie fact that the number of fatalities is not larger is that the
passengers were all in the forward end
of the car in the act of alighting it
the station.
There were about 30 people in the last
car, and most of them at thc time of the
accident were either upon the front platform or standing by thu door.
Mary Fitzpatrick, 10 years old, was taken from the wreck unconscious and died
just ns thc special train bearing the injured started for Boston. Twenty-one of
the injured were taken on this train and
four others whose names they refuse to
disclose remained in Sharon.
The seene about tlie little station nt
Sharon was a terrible one. A huge corps
of surgeons and two undertakers arrived
soon after the accident and immediately set to work to relieve the suffering and
care, for the bodies of the deuil.
There wero few lights about that portion of the track where the nccident occurred and the surgeons were compelled
to do their work in almost total dark-

DEAFNESS CAN NOT BE CURED
Bv local applications, a* they can not reach th*
diseased portion ot the ear. There la only one
way to cure deafness, and that' Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining ot the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is Inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when It Is entirely closed, Deafness Is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out, and this tube restored to Its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine case* out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which Is nothing but an Inflamed condition of
the mucou* surface*.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Bend for

is a strong one and has the backing to
make it a formidable rival to the 0. P.
R. Ail that is needed -now is for the
K ik S to extend its tracks to some
point on Slocan Lake and we will be
accessible from all points. This new
developement in railway circles will
work untold benefits to tne mining
interests of the Slocan.

strengthened my whole'Nervous System. Iwas troubled with Constipation,

Tbe selection of the Hon. J. Fred
Hume as Minister of Mines, has
caused the Trail Creek News to break
out into a wail of indignation because
Mr. Martin of Rossland was not
selected for that important position.
This looks a little inconsistent on the
parts of thc News, when we cennider
the amount of space that but a few
weeks ego the News devoted to mud
throwing at this sami Mr. Martin.
The principal argument put forth is
that Rossland district was entitled to
the appointment, as it was virtually the
only mining district in the province,
the others being small and cutting
but little figure, at least this is what
one would be led to beleive by reading
the article in the News. Now as a
matter of fact, for the amount of
money expended, blow and advertising the Rossland district has had it
has produced far less than other camps
which are no older. The Slocan region
alone has paid more in profits than
Rossland haa produced. Rossland is
without a doubt the making of one of
the greatest mining camps on earth,
but it is a well known fact^hat up to
the present time nearly 90 per cent of
the money expended in the Roaslar d
camp has gone into the hands and
pockets of wildcat stock manipulators,
and the crop of wildcat companies
produced by Rossland fnr exceeds that
of any other camp on earth, not even
excepting Cripple Creek. As far as
tin appointment of Minister of Mines
is concerned, Mr. Green of Kaslo had
as much tight as any one and
represented as big a mining country
but as the choice has fallen upon Mr.,
Hume, we do net see why any one
should feel slighted as Mr. Hume
also represents a big mining community and is certainly ftble to ably fill
the position.
