NUMBER 9 WIlATU-iSHAfPPED#WTH£ WEEK—"WJAT MAY HAPPEN NEXT. Mr. Felt, of Slooan Citv, was in town on business Friday. Angus McLean, has retnrned from a trip to Coffey creek. Sam Thomas, has gone up to work at tbo Idaho mine, Ross Thorbuin, waa down from the Comstock mine Thursday. S. T. Walker is doing assessment work on the Summit claim. A deal is on for ihe Corncracker claim which adjoins the Fidelity group. Allen McDonald, is back from a prospecting trip in tho Kettle River country. Axel Larson, was down from the Comstock mine, taking in the Bights of the City. Mrs. Barclay accompanied bv Miss. Jeannette Barclay, paid a visit to Slucan City Friday. An extension of time has been ccranted to Mr. Dawson on his bond on the Essex and Edinburgh claims, above Silverton. 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 head ol Fennel creek, he reports it as 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 hills Friday morning and the discovery of the mother lode may he looked for as Joe Connors went along as guide and interpeter. 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 Provincial Assembly. A b-uge load ot lumber' was piled at the wharf from Hill's Mill on Saturday lust, A j-ortion of thhr was for the (itilena Mines but tho main portion il being packed to the Wakefield Mines to he used in the erection of their new 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 Denver. This property onoe paid to work when Ihe ore had to bo packed to Kaslo for shipment and it appears t'trange that a paying basis cannot be t cached now witli tlio improved shipping 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. ARE YOU LUCKY? The raffle for the Thistle Hotel that comes off in Silverton on Oct. 22nd. is going to enable some one to step into a home and business for practically nothing. 'All of .the bojs with any sporting blood in their veins will have a chance or ^wo. The sale ot tickets should be brisk and Tom Clair should receive the aiipport of the boys, for they all know that Toin use d them Hquare and no one ever went Lungary or slept cold around Tom Cl-tir's. Any one of the boys can afford to take a chance or two and some one of them is sure to bocomo independent through this drawing. H. H. Pitts of Sandon will assist Mr. Hunter at Ihe drawing and these t*» gentlemen lending their names to the enterprise is aufficent guarantee that it is no fake. 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.

An embryo city has sprung into life on Slocan Lake and the steamboats plying on its blue waters haye a new port of call. At the mouth of Six Mile creek is located -'Dewey Camp", boasting a population of thirty Bun-burnt picnicers, all sleeping under canvas and dining in the company oi the social yellow-jacket and tho festive ant. A merry camping party gathered from the length and breadth of the Slocan form the personnel of Dewey Camp and an extensive camp-sito with Schley Avenues and Sampson Streets has been platted.

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 UNIFORMS OP SOLDIEBs Austrian Umy la the Least Fatal Color on the Battle Field Seasonable Suggestions for Proa- pectlve Campers. The camping out days have come and 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.

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 PRESIDENT AT OMAHA Wheat.

Fierce Forest Fire. Pasadena, Oil., Aug. 22.—The fire in the mountains is already twice as great as that of July, and is still gaining. It haa held its own for six days and has devastated a territory 40 square miles in extent. Pasadenn, Cal., Aug. JM.-The Ore In the mountains la already twice as great as that of July, and Is still gaining. It haa held Its own for six days and baa devastated a territory 40 square miles In extent. Tonight the flame* are gaining headway every hour. They are preying upon the best waterheads of the San Gabriel reservation, and lt is almost appalling to think of the rulr. they may wreak. The men who are lighting the fire will work all night. A call for reinforcements haa been made and a desperate endeavor will be made to protect the San Gabriel canyon, Baton's canyon and the Tejunga, all of which are endangered. The 40 miles of woods overwhelmed in ruins can not be summed up ln dollars and cents, as they are Inaccessible, but hundreds of thousands of dollars would be required to represent Its worth to this valley aa a conservator of moisture. 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.

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.

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- WATEE SUPPLY IS CURTAILED.

They have demonstrated that they are in- cujiuble of self-government. The fourth American expedition, whieh left Sun Francisco July 15, in coinmund of General Otis, arrived today. All are well. The monitor. Monadnock arrived August 10. On the way over she stopped at the Lndrone island of Guam, which had heen seized by the first expedition. She found that a Spaniard had repudiated the American rule and set up a government on his own account. Captain Whiting of the Monadnock promptly upset this new government, made the usurper a prisoner and brought him here. Brigadier General McArthur has appointed as provost marshal Colonel Over- shine of the Twenty-third regulars, and for deputy marshal Colonel Smith of the California volunteers. Brigadier General Greene has been appointed fiscal administrator and Colonel Whittier collector of custom-. The total number of denths in the campaign is 25 and of the wounded 100. Private C. Dunn of the Astor battery and Captain Bjornestcd Burscn of the Minnesota volunteers have died of their wounds since the buttle. The other wounded ofti- «ers and men are doing well. Paymaster General tiinnton has ordered three paymasters with funds to go to Manila to pay the troops there. They will sail from San Francisco in a day or two. Adjutant General Corbin has cabled General Merritt to send a list of the wounded at Manila. 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*.

Sold by The Silverton Drug Stow 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.
