THE CURIUK. SILVER COINAGE. In British Columbia a very large proportion of the silver coin in circulation is United States currency, Tnere would not be so mnch objection to this if Canadian silver coin, at its lace value, were accepted in American territory but this Is not the caso, discount being invariably demanded by the U. 8. banks and business establishments. Some time since tbe Provincial banks advertised a discount charge on United States coin, but this role was not enforced probably because the amount ol Canadian silver in circulation in the Province was found to be insuff icent for commercial requir- ments, a state of aflairs for which the Dominion goverment is ehar.eable. ll Is to be hoped that the agitation in favor of aCanadUn mint will not be allowed to subside.—Mining Record ESTIMATED PROFITS.

Madam Rumor, however,says that the Rev. It, N. Powell had au agent on limd to gobble up, and who did gather in for him, the collection. Of course Madam Rumor is often found to be a lying jade.

We presume that at that vegetable danee^Vn New York the ger man waa led hy sa-sr kraut A freethinker has been sentenced to a week's Imprisonment In Australia; but won't this make him think more freely than ever? Sllotl, the great successor to Pade- rewskl, wears no mane, so his success cannot logically be called a case of capillary attraction. As a pleasure Investment a boy may at first think coasting down hill all right, but eventually the returns are unsatisfactory. B. 0. Prick, who attained some unen viable notoriety during the big strike ll Pittsburg a few years ago, has Just paid $100,000 for a picture. Maybe tbe habit of girls marrying veterans to enjoy a pension as their widows comes under the bead of all being fair In love and war. Geographically the Chinese queue Is located In tbe same direction as the British Lion's tall, but tbe powers take care to handle It In a different way. That New Jersey man who has tried ■even times to commit suicide and failed might do worse than to visit Ska- guay this spring wearing a saqk coat and a silk hat. The San Francisco Examiner prints an account of several men being carried over Willamette Falls In a boat, under the caption "Swept to Perdition." Why take so gloomy a view of It? A Lock-port (N. Y.) paper says: "Miss Minnie Powers of this city Is eight feet tall, lacking one Inch." That young woman evidently stands very high la tbe estimation of all wbo know her. "Why," asks the New York Evening Bun, "will a woman wear a feather boa around ber neck and run-down beels to her shoes?" Because there Is no better place to wear either a feather boa or run-down heels. It Is now claimed that all the cheap comic valentines In this country are made In a small town In the Interior of New York. Iu order to save the place from total and Instantaneous destruction, however. Its name Is not given. A London scientist says he has carefully studied 5C0 species of microbes, and finds that only forty ot that number have vicious tendencies. "On thc whole," he says, "the microbe helps to make life pleasurable." The carholated rose water will have to go. A plnk-tlnted note from "Alys" brings the Information that she has "composed about twenty poems on spring and kindred subjects," and asks: "Shall I consult an editor about this, and If so, bow ahall I go about It?" It will not be necessary to consult an editor at all; Just consult a physician. Tbe American navy has a glorious past, traditions rich In valor and genius. W ehave the same valor, equal genius, but while we are boasting of our better tools of warfare we seem yet to be Inadequately possessed of tbe gift of using them. We shall learn, but It seems that the schoolmaster Is charging a merciless price. Some doctor has discovered that women wbo wear low shoes are In grave danger of having their feet made flat and unshapely by tbe lack of support for their ankles. That explains, of course, why women of times and countries tn which only sandals were worn or the feet were left unshod furnished so many beautiful models for painters and sculptors. The Attorney General of Massachusetts has suggested that trials for certain criminal offences be held in secret, thus shutting out prurient idlers and making It difficult for cheap newspapers to gather the filth on which they fatten. In such an event, the criminal would miss bis notoriety, tbe loafer his scandal and the newspaper Its "sensation"—but to decent people tbe aggregate of all these losses would be a great gain. Tbs railroads of the United States expend In a year a sum more than f 100,- 000,000 In excess of the total expenditures of the United States Government, and this computation does not Include nearly $260,000,000 paid In the form of Interest upon railroad bonds or guaranteed stock and from $80,000,000 to $100,000,000 paid In tbe form of dividends to stockholders. The railroads, Indeed, are the great disbursing agencies of the country, handling never less than a billion dollars In a year and disbursing It all, or practically all, for railroads as a rule do not keep large bank accounts, and do practically a cash business, turning money rapidly. It Is neither tbe ease which wealth fives—for riches as often bring carklng carts with them—nor yet asceticism, nor yet athletics, which enables men to reach advanced yean. While the controlling Influence Is so obscure that we may not confidently assume to point It out, we think It will be found that the possession of a clear conscience goes as far aa anything to prolong a a's life The worries of life, which wear out nervous force, lose their grip upon one wbo Ib at peace with his conscience, and as a general thing those who live the longest have possession of this vital resource. The trading-stamp usually buries In Its patrons both the sense of humor and that of proportions. A woman recently stopped a street car after paying her fare, and took a return car home to get a forgotten trading-card before making some trifling purchases. The price of the extra fares exactly balanced the value of the "gift" ou five dollars' worth of goods. The law against trading-stamps may be unconstitutional, but It Is a moral protest against the habit of trying to get something for nothing. Moreover, consld erlng the real value of the "gifts," the something L usually less than nothing. We are apt to laugh at Russia for so long persisting In the use of the antiquated calendar which was prescribed by Julius Caesar, and which Is now twelve days behind the calendar In use by other civilized uallons, but Russia Is now going not only to fall In lino with the rest of the world Iu her mode of reckoning time, but to take another Important step In advance—u step from which America, progressive In most other things, shrinks with all the timidity of a child urged to take his first dip In the ocean. Russia has decided to adopt the metric system of weights and mensures, thus leaving the United States and Great Britain the last of civilized nations to retain the old-fashioned arbitrary method of weight and mensuration. It has taken Russia 310 years to adopt the Gregorian calendar; let us hope It will not be quite so long before the United States adopts the metric system.

The candidature of Prince George of Greece for the governorship of Crete Is a striking Illustration of the personal relations of the relguiug houses lu Europe. He wrote a letter to his cousin, the Emperor of Russia, asking ditto support his claims. The Emperor at once adopted hlin as the Russian candidate. They are not only cousin., each being a grandson of King Christian IX. of Denmark, but are also intimate friends of nearly the same age They were companions lu a Journey around the world, nnd Prince George, by his coolness and courage, bad saved his cousin's life from au assassin's attack in Japan. A personal appeal for support could not be disregarded. The governorship of Crete has remained nn unsettled question since the war between Turkey and Greece. The Eu.*» pean powers, while pledged to protect the Island, and to reform Its government, had been unable to agree upon a candidate for governor. One name aftei another bad been proposed, only to be rejected. The wily Sultan objected ou general principles to every candidate. When Nicholas II. ordered his ministers to pnpose Prince George's name, the significance of the nomination as the personal choice of the sovereign was perceived throughout Europe. France, as Russia's closest ally, at ouce supported the candidature. Lord Salisbury seconded It gladly, especially :u the Prince was the nephew of tbe Princess of Wales. Italy acquiesced. The attitude of the Kaiser Is not yet fully known. Greece had plunged into war in order to liberate and annex Crete, and had been disastrously defeated. The appointment of a son of tbe King of Greece as governor of Crete would be a considerable victory for tbe prostrate little kingdom. Tbe Sultan refused to consent to It, and appealed to the German Emperor. Russia at once applied pressure by demanding the payment of arrears of Interest on the unpaid war Indemnity contracted by Turkey In the campnlgns of 1877-8. Whenever the Sultan Is obstinate, he Is forcibly reminded that Turkey owes Russia a great deal of money. This candidature, which will at once do much to retrieve tbe fortunes of Greece, and will offer a practical solution of a troublesome question of European diplomacy, Is tbe outcome of the Intimate relations of tbe two cousins, who were together In the far East. In the same way the German Emperor, in entering upon a diplomatic and naval campaign In China, commissioned his brother to visit Queen Victoria at Osborne. Prince Henry Is a favorite among the Queen's grandsons, nnd in consequence of his visit more friendly relations between England and Germany have been established. Whatever may be the rival policies of Russia and England In China, the family relations of the two courta tend to promote compromise and peace.

The next best thing to taking a summer or winter trip Is to change the aspect of one's home twice a year. Such change does not Imply a domestic upheaval Involving great work, family discomfort and general wretchedness for a week or more. It simply means what any woman can uccompllsh with ease, taste and tactfulness, supplemented by ordinary "general cleaning day" effort on the part of the housemaid or mald-of-all-work. No woman who has not tried It can conceive of the rest and pleasure resulting from such changes. Monotony Is deadly to bodily and mental health; possibly to spiritual well-being also. A change of environments, even If to others less attractive, Is beneficial, simply because It Is a change—Woman's Home Companion. Killed In Hallway Accidents. The proportion of killed to tbe number of railway travelers Is In France one In nineteen million, England one In twenty-elgbt million, and In the United States one In two million (our hundred thousand. As showing the enormous amount of wealth produced in .Silver How county, Montana, some figures prepared by Eugene B. Braden, in charge of the United States'assay offloa In Helena, are of the greatest moment. Mr. Braden hns placed tho entire output ol Silver How county from 1882 to 1SD7, inclusive, ut the enormous figure for gold, silver and copper it I $38:1,080,777.07. The total of 589,2-8,104 fine ounces of gold wns valued at $11,148,- 075,74, The product of silver, 113,005.1)01 ounces, would he worth at coinage rate, $140,883,234. Mr. Braden has estimated the value of the copper output by computing copper at 12 cents a pound. As a mutter of fnet the estimate is probably an exceedingly conservative one, the average price of that commodity having been during the years 1889 until 18117, inclusive, 13.470 cents, making it prohahlu that Mr. Hmdcn's figures nre duly low. But even at 12 cents the product, 1,875,402,242 pounds, is shown to bo worth the ennr inous sum of $825,055/487.04, Tho most remarkable thing about it all, us it will strike the average student, is that ull that has been taken from within practically u radius of three miles—the city of Butte und its iniinediiite vicinity. Ilcci-ill Ol'eu'oll DNi'liii'li. Thc recent discovery of rich gold-liear- ] ing quartz on a limestone and porphyry contact near Applegate, in Jackson county, Oregon, is worth; of more than n passing notice. It used to he the prevailing opinion nmong competent mining authorities that this formation wns not favorable to auriferous mineralization until the i discovery in recent yeurs of the extensive j and almost Inexhaustible gold fields nt Mercur, Utah, in a similur formation. This limestone dyke, iu which the dlsoov- | ery wns mnde, is of a metamorphic char- ' actcr, or what he called in common par- ! lance a blue black marble, and is mineral j ized to a greater or less degree through- > out the entire muss, hut ns a rule thc gold - is found in a black, cherty, impure quartz extending through oxidized lime or marble over on Jnckson creek, about two miles from Jacksonville, which has proved to be highly mineralized in both gold and silver, as in the Bcckmnn nnd Huffer mine. Below this enleite dyke the enrly placer miners in the. 60s used to pick up some wonderfully rich gold nnd silver ore in the ground sluice, nnd it was a mystery from whence it came until the die- ! covery in recent years, as above stated, in the Buekman and HuH'er mine. Trviw Mat-Sat. One of the oldest mining camps (Texas district) encountered in this northwest I region is situated at the headwaters of ; the Lemhi river, Idaho. In the. 80s it at- i trneted considerable notice, and attained 'a very prominent position as an ore pro- i diner. 'Ilie camp was one of the best, wa- 1 tered und timbered of any locality in Ida- ; ho, and its accessibility and natural ad- i vantages were unsurpassed. Its natural : outlet is through the fertile valley lead- ' ing past Spring mountain, Nicholio, and j down along Birch creek, thence fii Dubois, ; I (hi ho. Upwards of $80/900 weic taken I from one of its mines alone, and altogeth- i er it has produced in the neighborhood of i $75,000 worth of bullion. Something like I 200 mining claims were located within the district. No great depth wos ever attained on any of its properties) and the shipments were confined to surface deposits. It covers a stretch of country from 25 to 35 miles in length, comparable in nil respects to.the Sawtooth range in the Wood River country. Want of capital und the high charges for transportation that at that period governed, held the country in check until it was overtaken by thc warfare on silver, since which time it has lain dormant ns a mining section. Its ores have ranged all the way from $20 to $500 in silver to the ton, principally chlorides, which, it is urged, is ngninst it as a concentrating product. Galena nnd carbonates are much in evidence. But | one or two properties ore now being nc- ] tively worked there ond these arc piling their ores to one side in wait for an improved market. Stampede to Swede (reck. The latest stampede from Dawson wus the one that occurred February 10 to Swede creek, 00 miles above Dawson.

While en route from Turiana river to Dawson, ex-Mayor Wood of Seattle, who lately re- tinned from Alaska, paid particular attention to the mineral district on the American side of the line, and his observations hnve made him enthusiastic over its prospects. There has been a great deal of prospecting along all the creeks from the Tanana to Forty Mile creek this winter, nnd the results obtained ore encouraging. There seems to lie a general movement of prospectors to this section, The lower Ktimpai t and the Koyokuk are especially promising. There is a revival in interest around Circle City.

The chances of on amicable settlement are moro remote than ever, and most Spanish minds ore prepared for the worst. President McKinley, we learn, may or may not send one sharp ultimatum as a dernier ressort. If he does, and the ultimatum requires the evacuation of Cuba by the Spanish troops, everything goes to show it may ns well he left unwritten. If the worst happens it is obvious that S|*ain will go to war with the firm conviction that she worked from first to last in the legitimate interests of peace, making every concession fairly compatible with nn- limial dignity.

Washington, April 8.—The opinion almost universally held In Washington tonight by leading public men and diplomats is that the crisis will reach its ell- iiinx this week nnd that the question of wnr or peaee will be determined within the next, seven days. Benaton und representatives met und conferred nil day ulxnit the gravity of the situation und ut the While house the president consulted with several members of his cabinet und other confidential advisors regarding the message which he is praparlng to send to congress. At the stole, war nnd navy buildings active work wus going on and altogether it was a day of suppressed iseling. No definite announcement is mads as to the day the message will he scut to congress, but it is not believed it will go in tomorrow. It is believed that more probably Wednesday or Thursday will be the day selected. Besides the physical work of preparing the comprehensive document, upon which the president, expects to rest his case with the world, there ore other reasons why those in charge of the war preparations will welcome every hour's delay. War material which we j have ordered abroad is not yet shipped and the factories in this country work day and night making powder ami pro jeotlles und are anxious for delay. Some of the factories in Connecticut with con- traots have telegraphed Representative Hitt, urging all delay possible. They say every day now is precious. There is still divergence of opinion os to what the president will recommend in his message, indeed, there seems to lie still a question us to whether the president will make any specific recommendations. Some of his most intimate friends, however, assert emphatically that the president's recommendations will lie via* I iirous and such that his party and the country could willingly follow when he ' points the way. One of these said tonight ! that the president, in his strong desire for peace and earnest hope that war convinced thut wur wus inevituhle and about to be declared. While they look njioii the situation as grave, the general sentiment among them is that the matter has not yet progressed beyond the range of diplomacy und a pacific solution. For that reason there was a strong Inclination shown today to wait until the president's message was sent to congress, the feeling being that the real issue could not be determined until the message had been submitted. At. the outset. Spain was most earnest, for mediation, ond to this end addressed a note to the powers about 10 days ago. Now, however, us the prospects for mediation appears to he growing, the Spanish authorities seem to be less inclined to ward this course. This niny be due to the fact that Spain had looked on mediation ns nn indirect form of intervention of tin- Kiiiopeiin powers in fuvor of one of their own number. The Spanish note developed, however, that the powers were not ready for any such radical step. France made the first declaration, through Premier llonotuux, in the French chamber, that France would treat both parties alike ns friends. This WM un unexpected reverse for Spain, as she hod felt that French ownership of Martinique, Guadeloupe ahd other Islands would inclino her lo sympathy with Spain in defending her sovereignty over Cuba. It wns staled by one of the ambassadors today that any move iu the form of mediation would first ussume form hy un exchange of notes among the European powers, which could Is* done speedily by telegraph iu cose of a war crisis seeming ut hand. Iii such event the general understanding among the diplomats here is that Great Britain France, Germany and Austria would be consulted, ns their eom- iiu'iiiiil interests would bo seriously (-rippled hy a war between the United States and Spain. While Russia and Italy also might be consulted owing to their Influence in European sSairs, yet their immediate interest in the Spanish-Amen.an conflict would lie for less than that of the other countries mentioned. It is probable that negotiations will be opened hy this government with Denmark to allow cable measngSS to come over the French line from the Danish island of St. TheiBus to the United States. With the Leeward islands, of which St. Thomas is B center, as the probable center of any I naval operations which may result from I the present crisis, it is recognised as of might, possibly be averted, was vie ding!,,, ,:.... , , .,,.. . _ » • • . .,,,',, i »■■* Importance to secn.-e facilities not somewhat to Ilie sentiment of the leaders! ■•"——- of his party and the country.

Senor Beinube, the Spanish minister, and his staff had a busy Sunday, although it did not bring any developments changing the situation. His losl official exchange with the authorities was on last Friday, after Spoin's answer hnd lieen received, since which time negotiation- have been at n holt. This, however, hns not lessened the Spanish minister's ae- necessary: y-jty ju keeping his government fully apprised ns to thc general aspect, of r! fairs in this country.

' - '» and great benefits derivable from hav- liif* an all-Canadian railway from tho Pacifio into tbe Yuk< n country. THE TRUCK ACT. COMING IN. Mr. Kellie's Truck Act was undoubtedly introduced to mitigate and prev-nt suili evils as the company uteres, in operation in so many mining localities. The act must however, if passed, create great inconveniences among tho greater part of our tninps, where the benefits conferred on the employees by the mine beardia. - houses has no objectionable features. The Lo Roi mine appears to be an exception to the general rule among our B. C mines. To prevent an epiployoe deal ing with his employer would work many hardships on our miners not intended by Mr. Kellie. Where such necessaries as tobacco, clothing, etc., are sold at cost by tho companies to their men, and wj*ere the boarding houses are conducted i;i the manner in which they have been in the Slocan, it would be a great injustice to the men to have the act, enforced. The principle underlying Mr. Kellie's action in a laudable one, hut, unfortunately, the enforcement of the act would be. detrl mental to tho majority of our miners. vvvvvvystvvyvvvvvvv bearing, the challenge will not he accepted. The deed d sentiment of <b people geuerally ia wo think, in full sympathy with the Senate's action in this matter. Tbe more the Yukon Railway Bill is studied, the moro indefensible are it's provisions and the Government's action in entering into the contract which it was intended to ratify teen to be. Each provision contained in this contract seems to bo more indefensible than the previous one. Utterly at variance are they with ever) contention of the present Government when tht-.y were in oppo-iton io regard to giving contructs without previous tenders, iu regard to land stibsi lies— locking up large tracts of land etc. Utterly preposterous were the land grant and the other concessions confined in the bill in comparison with tbe services to be rendered therefore. And then what was proposed to be had for this grant and these conceptions — an all-Canadian route to the Klondyke — was really not obtained after all. The Senate has rendered excellent service to the country in throwing out this bill, which was conceived in -lin and brougnt forth in iuiq lity. The ext"iit of the land graut and ttie mode in wliic'i it could be selected by tin- contractors and the character of llu- other concessions which it was proposed to handover to them as etnbod- Mii in t'i- bill riobiy merited the d cided rejection of it by the Senate which it received. What cours ■ then is the Government going to pursue in consequence of this rejection by the Senate of this bill! It is report d that the Government is going to construct tho railway as a public work. This would hive heen the more acceptable course to the country had it been selected, at least much more acceptable thin that covered by the Yukon Railway Bill. It is conceded by all, by those who voted against the Yukon Railway bill not less than by those who were in favor of it, that an all-Canadian route to the Klondyke constructed at the earliest possible date, is a necessity. At a time it was feared that the Government in it's action would rpgemble the sulky child who, because he could not g t what he wanted, would I i.e or do nothing. Such was frequently threatened by Ministers and Government organs. For instance the Minister of Justice is reported to have said in the Senate on the 28th ult as follows: - "in ease of defeat, the Government are not called upqu to do anything!, Tlmy have submitted their mcai-ure. am) if tlid Senate choose to wrench the authority which they have out of the hands of the Government, the consequence of the iter must abide with tbenn." That courie yrould however hnve been exceeding reprehensible. The wiser coors<», interpreting the feelings of the country is apparently to be ad-' opted— to proceed as rapidly as pons-, idle with the consM'uction of this railway over an all-Canadian route, aa a Government work. The lands will thus he saved to the country—not the agricultural lands alone, which The Globe, with fine irony, assured the people wonld be reserved to the settlers under the now defeated bill; the prospector and miner will not be thwarted or overawed in their arduous work by a powerful and graspiug cor- 200 Gases Goodwin's Candles 100 cas?s Hamilton powder One car Cumberland coal • 9id one car fresh groceries. WV*rW>^a^>'WV*/-^r'*»>*A*»< QN THE BUDiET. The Budget Speach msbe hy Finance Minister Turner is a striking proof of how the interest in mining has gained almost universal attention in British Columbia. While the returns from arable land, tlie forest, dec are far below the estimates, (he phj-nomonal returns from tha sales of mining licenses and mining fees, more than treble the isanitates. That the expenditure exceeds the estimates is no more than expected, after looking at the extent of counrry opened up the las year, No ono will urge against the govenuent th-* expenditure of these stuns. Tne existing state of affairs rendered absolutely necessary large appropriations for educational purposes public works and the administration of justice. The following figures from Mr. Turner's speech shows conclusively the way in which our credit is incroaHiilg in th« worlds market. {u 1891 Biiti-.li Columbia three p.-r cent bofkte were quoted at 86, in 1895 they wi re 95 and now stand at 103 4101 It is this policy Which hat reaeived th - ridicule of the opposition who h*v" dope nothing in the pie»eiit setsion but inlerduce J.-laysand obstruction to the country's business.
