Osborne, of the Rainy Lake Herald, came Into the possession of nn old diary of an old employe's, now deceased, of the Hudson Bay company, and in rending lt thioii' he learned that the writer described very lucidly some mineral deposits on the custom shore of Hudson's bay, In the vlnclnlly of Great, and Utile Whale rivers, In whnt Is known aa l.'ngnva land. The description w*ns so clear that Mr. Osborne succeeded in Ind-' ing some Iloston capitalists to provide the necessary funds to equip an expedition to go and make a search for the miner- uls. The parties left Rot Port.igo about the first of June and Mr. Osboinn returned Saturday from the trip, first going to Oltawn, where ho and his associates filed on a largo tract of valuable lands containing gold, silver, copper, precious stones, nickel, Iron, clnnnliar, gypsum, In fact almost all kinds of mineral of economic value. Mr. Osborne says that the new region opened up, so far as mineral wealth Is concerned, p.its the Klondike lu the shade, and he snys that Mr. Lowe of the geological survey, who has put In two yenrs Investigating thnt country, snys it Is the coming min- ornl producing region of the American continent. There ls plenty of room for prospeetinK, as the region Is 400 by 100 miles hi extent. Tho country can lie reached hy water from Boston, and Mr. Osborne says that next spring a company will outfit a steamer and will send her right up to their property with $100,00n worth of supplies and materials for exploring and developing tltflr claims. The experience of Mr. Osborne only goes to verify the claims that the whole of Canada, from the wilds of Labrador to the Pacific const. Is one of nature's greatest storehouses of minerals of economic and precious value. If this region were opened up by u railway, tner« would certainly be a rich field for all kinds of mining enterprises. Besides onthrlclte coal, there will be found lignite, beds of gypsum along the Missanbi; de-posits of gold, silver, copper, tin, near Moose Factory; and line potter's clay and silica sand. iin-Biiii Shows l'p Best. By far the most comprehensive and elaborate exhibit In the mineral department of the Spokane Exposition Is the private collection of Fred R.

Reports from the South half received at Republic, are to the effect that in Davis camp on tho Harvest claim, the shaft Is encountering ore which shows c-ciuHiib'i.ibb- native copper. The bond on the Vulcan No. 1 and No. 2, lying a short distance southeast of the Mountain Linn, will be taken up this week. With the sinking of the winze on tho No. 3 tunnel on the Republic, new features aro being encountered, principal of which Is the appearance of sylvanlte ore. There have been considerable quantities of free gold found In the Prince ss Maud winze within the past few days. The fine gold Is found In the tellurldes In almost, every piece of ore that comes out, nnd tho lend appears to be geting richer. The Hit or Miss shaft Is nearly 100 ft. ln depth. The ledge Is one of the finest In the camp. The values are not large, bnt they nre growing steadily. The average nt this time Is about $10 per ton. Work on thc Delta has been carried on some distance south of the shaft, whore there Is a large body of quartz cropping out. This shows an average value of nearly $7 per ton. Within 30 dnys the Princess Mend Gold Mining Company expects to have a complete machinery plant Installed, with which development will go forward at about four times the speed of hand labor and with far greater ease.

Contract work has been started on the Slocnn Star, being confined to iho No. •"■ tunnel. Four men are employed. Advices from camp McKinney ru.i<< that the oro encountered in the tunnel In the Granite and Banner is richer than any hiterto taken out. News comes from Sandon that the Pnyne mine has discharged all of the mon employed under contract, 2R |n number, and that the mine Is completely dosed down. The cause of this action Is said to he that five miners who had come out from Montreal to work for Ihn company at the rate of $3 for « hours were induced by the mlners's un- ion to quit the Job.

As many men will lie employed as can be economically used. Tho mine now has a crew of twenty men at work. The Maud 8. group of four claims, in the Fort Steele country, ahout 2o miles altove Trail, Is reported ot have a well defined ledge of free-milling oro; some of which assays as high as Jl ..ono tn the ton. The expected strike In the Keep Cool mine u.-ar l_akeview, on I_ake Pend d' Oreille, has been made, and it la bigger than the company anticipated.

At a depth of 40 feet the ledge Is 22 it. •vide. The ore carries gold, na'lve silver, black sulphides of silver and topper. Gold can be soon with the naked pye. An effort Is being made at Sumpter to build a new sampling work- lt would cost about $7000, and requir-** about 30 days to erect. Many prospectors have small quantities of ore, but cannot afford to ship, because freight on small lots is five times as htgn on on carloads. Five carloads of copper matte from the Hall Mines amelter are now en route over the Crow's Nest Pass branch to New York. The value of the shipment Is given as ln tbe neighborhood of $_8.tM)0. Recent assays of ore from the Decor- an in the Seven Devils district, Idaho, arc said to show 35 per cent copper. The South Peacock allowed 4» per cent. Active operations ore In progress. The War Eagle haa ordered twelve three-quarter Little Giant drills. This makes 24 drills supplied the Wax Eagle mine last month. Concerning the existence of gold tn the Philippines, Reyes Lata, In a lato number of the Review of Reviews. says: "In certain regions there la not n Btream, large or small, whose sands do not show the yellow trace of gold, while now and then natives of the Interior offer heavy nuggets for sale.

With anxious eye and throbbing heart wc watch today the journeying of thc ling of America toward dis- tint Isles; wc pray for its safety nnd its lienor; we proclaim that in A-ia as in America it meant liberty and nil liberty brings with it. Some say it menns in A«ia the repression of liberty, (lod forbid. Jl means in Asia the institution of civil order, so that America, to whom the fates have- decreed the unsought duty of main taining oider in those islands, may see and know who are lhe people of thc Pnil- ippines, who there hnve the right to speak for lhe people, what the people desire and for what the people nre fitted. Civil order and ii must lie restmed; the flag of America may lie trusted to be to the Fili- pin.H the bnrliincer and guardian of liberty and the rights of the people. Thc American republic—she will Jive, and with her liberty will live.-' «*. I*. H. Maehlatats on a Strike. Vancouver, lt.

Does Your Baking Powder Contain Alum? Prof. Geo. F. Barker, M. D., University of Penn.: "All the constituents ot" alum remain (from alum baking powders) in the bread, and the alum itself is reproduced to all intents and purposes when the bread is dissolved by the gastric juice in the process of digestion. I regard the use oi' alum as highly iniurious." Dr. Alonzo Clark: "A substance (alum) which can derange the stomach should not be tolerated in baking powder." Prof. W. G. Tucker, New York State Chemist: " I believe it (alum) to be decidedly injurious when used as a constituent of food articles." Prof. ... W. Johnson, Vale College: "I regard their (alum and soluble alumina salts; introduction into baking powders as most dangerous to health." In view of such testimony as this, every care must be exercised by the housewife to exclude the over and over condemned cheap, alum baking powders from the food.

They claim that by a division on party lines tho government of tho provinco will''bo better administered than under the present system of Ins and Outi*. They are evidently overlooking the fact that a candidate roust have much more to recommend hiia than the simple fact that he may be a Conservative. The avarage Conservative in this section of B. C. at least, does not feel very strongly the party tics. This is true as well regarding the rank and file of the liberal parly. Voters hern are, we are glad to know, thoroughly Independent, nnd the candidate who secures their votes must bo a man prepared to ivprcsent his constituency Independent of nny party.
