If reports from Pittsburg are correct
Ilie smelting and refininu problem in
likely to be solved by a discovery said to
have been lately made. Successful experiments bave been made w iib the new
process, which amelts and refines at the
i aame tune.   The Pitt sbuig Post has the
j following to say in regard to It.
"A lar^e number Of, melting and ore re-
.filing companies throughout the country
bave been interested in the discovery
made by a physician and chemist which
promises to revolutionize the present
methods of reducing all high grade
metallic ores, and reducing the co<t am
well as time required for this work down
to a matter of minutes. The process
has been quietly tested iu several Pills
bum plants during the past lew months,
aud in each case has proved fully up to
all the claims made for it. In the
interim a number of Pittshurgers whute
names are for the present wiih-hcld
have been preparing to organise and
secure a chatter lor the coutrul uf the
new process.
"The chemical discovery that has been
finally mnde public was developed bj
some yeais of Eludy by a Dr. Miller, a
man advanced in years, whose home ia
iu Ihe vicinity of Mt. Pleasant. His
experiments with his composition, which
is called a "flux," developed the fact
that by mixing it with asbestos aud
pli-.i'iim it in a ciucilile wiih raw ores,
the heat produced is so intense that ihe
asbestos becoiiu-s liquified. The action
of the flux and ust'eatos upon the ore is
almost instantaneous. Iu loity minutes
thu removal ol the dross from the top of
tbe OTUicible shows the pure copper',
lead, silver or «..-ld beneath.
"^Practical tcbls havo been conducted
with a koimI ileal of secrecy at the mills
of the Fox Copper and Bronze Company,
and in tbe mill of Macintosh, Hemphill
A Co. The results of these testf have
shown that the reduction of tho oies
placed in lhe crucibles has been almost
complete* In its action the flux rcmo\es
over OS per cent of the metals from the
crude ores, without any prior crushiug
Tins lias never been possible helore in
lhe history of mining. The specimens
uf copper and other metals that have
been taken irom the chemical baths are
declared to be absolutely pure and iu
need of uo further treatment, while the
actual operation of reducing them has
averaged about forty minim;; to tbe
charge.
"Another feature of tho experiments
that has developed is the peculiarly
free action ol the metals where the ores
that are used are of a compound character—containing two or more metals.
In such cases the new process has
caused the various forms of metal lo
sink to the bottom ot the crucible, the
heaviest flndiug a place at the bottom
and the next heaviest resting above it.
Three and four different metals have
thus been found in layers after the dross
has beeu removed from ihe molten mass
and the crucible allowed to cool.   The
cost of lhe material for iis manufacture
Can lie gained, ehemis.s will not commit
themselves regarding the practicability
of the process for commercial purposes.
The inventor claims that the formula is
a very cheap one and the cost will unl
Interfere wilh the commercial value in
the least.
••From several chemists connected with
the copper minea in the Northwest,
letters havo been received concerning
the new pn cess and all urge most
vigorous study of the matter, believing
It will prove one of tbe greatest factors
in future mining of all bigb grades of
ore.

"One of the  chemists   connected with
the Carnegie Steel Company stated that
if    the    flux    will   liquify  asbestos   it
certainly      has     remarkable    powers,
Asbestos was known   to thu Greeks  us
the "burning stone," but this term had
always lieen regarded by modern sclent e
as mythological.   The theory that asbes-
to8 was practically   impruvious  to heat
of  any  degree   has  never  once' been
doubted until  this discovery was made.
It is now  believed that the Greek term
was due to the fact that   they believed
that if  asbestos   was  once ignited successfully it would never cease burning.
"The other peculiar feature of this flux
is the claim   of   its   discoverer that it is
practically    in destructible,   It   is   Baid j

It is with a feeling of general satisfaction thai tbe puhliu will receive the,
communication suned "Devoniencea," in
your issue of Feb SS, but after all has
lieen said in conditional Ion of the policy
of Editor Lowery, nf Iln- I edge, is he not
more to be pitied than l-Iained?
lt is his maniii. evidently, to be known
U a church smasher, the sivme as it is
the fanatical notion ol Carrie Nation, o\
Kansas, to be knnwn as lhe saloon
smasher. Mrs. Nation takes her littlw
hatchet and sallies (mill, believing tliat
every saloon in tbe land will jto out of
business. Mr Lowery, with bis liitle
hatchet to grind, sallies into the churches
and ex peris to see all Christianity sneak
off into the woods.
Both are themselves at fanlt for what
they see iujiirioiii Ml the objects of their
onslaught. Neither can do the objects nt
their bitterness soy ll j'iry, and neither
can be taken seriously so far as their
manias carry [hem, however sane Ihey

The Republic mill is now ready for
shipments from the other mines of the
camp, but the rate is still kept a secret.
Superintendent Thomas* *.. Dexter is
up from the Georgie Reed and reports
the shaft that ls being sunk on the
ledge to be 55 feet deep and that fairly
good progress is being made.
The machinery plant of the California bas been put ln commission. Sinking is being continued and the ledge explored on the upper level. Shipments
continue steadily and the high grade
ore will go to Trail.
The Chico compressor is being overhauled and everything at the mine ls
being prepared for active work with
the machine drills. The plant will
probably start up with a full crew
about February 20.
It is reported that there is a strong
probability that the Volunteer mine
will soon pass into new hands, as the
parties who inspected it a short time
ago are said to be well pleased with lt
and thus reported to their eastern associates.
The men who have been working for
some time on the property of the Aeneas Valley Gold Mining company have
returned to Republic. They brought a
large quantity of fine looking ore obtained in crosscuttjng the ledge. The
ore Is silver-lead and an assay of an average sample across 10 feet of the ledge
went: Gold, 80 cents; silver, 46.80
ounces; and lead, $24.50, a total of $72.-
10 per ton. The property lies about 14
miles of the mouth of the west fork of
the San Poil river and about the same
distance southwest of Republic.

It ls stated that the Rembler-Cariboo
is rapidly becoming one of the greatest
properties in the province.
Owing to the non-arrival of coal shipments the blowing in of the Greenwood
smelter was delayed some time.
Work on the Soho group, in the McGuigan basin, Slocan, is reported to be
proceeding in a satisfactory manner.
L. A. Thurston, a well known mining
man of Nelson, has just taken an option on the Iron Horse group, situated
in the city limits of Rossland.
The amalgamation of the Kilo and
Chapleau group on Lemon creek, in the
Slocan division, which was anticipated
a short time ago, seems assured.
Reports from Tracey creek, ln the
Fort Steele district, East Kootenay, are
to the effect that the tunnel on the
Stanley is ln 65 feet. It ls expected
that the lead wil be encountered in
about 15 feet.
The first heater and purifier for the
use of mines in the Boundary country,
to utilize mine water for steam making
purposes, has recently been Installed at
the Old Ironsides.
The Granby smelter at Grand Forks
commenced operations on August 21
last and up to February 1 had treated
81,000 tons of ore, which produced 2700
tons of 50 per cent matte, valued at
$500,000.
There appears to be every evidence
that the new owners of the Greenwood-
Phoenix Electric tramway charter,
whoever they may be—for the public
has so far received no Intimation—are
about to start operations.
At Camp McKinney there ls a remarkable showing of quartz in the Waterloo that runs from $19 to $388 at a
depth of 120 feet. On the second level
there ls flve feet of solid quartz in the
east drift. The mine never looked better, and values are richer with depth.
Another dividnd of 5 per cent has
been announced by the Ymlr Gold
Mines, Limited. This is, however, only
an interim dividend, and it Ib probable
that a larger one will be announced at
the annual meeting in the latter part
of March.
The St. Eugene mine started up with
a full force recently and the concentrator was to have started up at the same
time, but owing to the cold weather,
the water supply being snort, lt wll not
commence operations until the weather
moderates.
The Sliver Belt group on Toby creek,
In the Windermere district, has been
the si-mic of a large amount of development work during the past four
months. It is reported that there Is
eight feet of good ore ln a ledge running parallel with the main ledge.
Rumors were afloat and some of
them seemed-from authentic sources,
that the Canadian Pacific railway had
leased to C. R. Hosmer, George Gooderham and T. G. Blackstock, the three
principal owners of the War Eagle,
Centre Star and St. Eugene mines, the
Trail smelter.
Another mining deal of importance
has been put through ln Slocan section,
making the fifth since the opening of
the new year. The pn_.perty.to change
hands this time ls the well known Republic group on Erin mountain, two
miles from town.     David Sutherland
and Tom Montgomery were the owners,
having held the claims for nearly two
years. Embraced ln this group are the
Republic, American Eagle, Bonanza
and Bell.
In view of the rumors circulating In
the east of late to the effect that the
War Eagle mine might close down, and
that the deal for the purchase of the
Trail smelter had fallen through, the
secretary of the War Eagle company
recently asked the Toronto World to
contradict these rumors. He added
that the deal for the purchase of the
smelter by the Gooderham-Blackstock
syndicate is progressing favorably and
that the development of the War Eagle
mine goes on apace.
Paul Hauck and J. Altchison, the lessees of the Bondholder at Slocan, have
received the returns from their last
shipment to the Nelson smelter. The
figures are even higher than the previous car and establish a record. Altogether 10% tons of ore was in the car,
realizing 235 ounces of silver and 0\i
per cent lead per ton. The net receipts
from the smelter, after paying freight
and treatment charges, were $2400.
The previous car gave 224 ounces and
the first one 217, so the ore is steadily
Improving.

with free gold. Picked specimens run
up Into the thousands, while the general average Is high.
Mr. Coulter states that a great deal
of development work has been done on
the Ajax In Dixie section, the property
having been opened on two levels. He
says that an excellent body of ore has
been exposed and that It averages from
$15 to $20 in gold, nearly all of which
is free.
At Loomis, Wash., the Copper World
lead has been crosscut and found to be
15 feet wide. The appearance of the
ore Indicates that it will carry good
gold and copper values. The tunnel is
225 feet long and cut the vein at a

comes there will be nothing to. do except to put lt In, and should the ledge
be cut before that, the bins will be temporarily lined with lumber, which will
last until the steel Is In place. The

Bt. Petersburg, Feb. 18.--M. De Witte,
minister of finance, has issued a decree
regarding the application of the increased
tariff to certain imports from the United
States. The decree is based upon the first
paragraph of article ti'2S of the customs
statute. The measure will become effective a fortnight after ils promulgation.
"* C'asslnl 1 nm of It.
Washington, Fob. 18.—Count Cassini,
the Russian ambassador, this evening received a cablegram from the Riiosian foreign office continuing the report of the issue of the decree imposing increased dunes
on certain American imports into Russiu,
and took steps to infei'in the state department accordingly it is realized unit a
grave crisis has been reached in the trade
relations of the United States and Russia,
'lhe immediate ell'eet of tlie Russian decree, when ii becomes operative ou Maicii
j 1) will be to increase by 50 per cent tiie
duty on American machinery, sleel and
iron goods.     These goods   already   enjoy
i two separate reductions, 30 per cent bcin;
taken oil from the general and 20 p&!
oent from the conventional duties.      Tht
I articles referred to in the Russian decree
are machinery and tools of every kind,
manufactures and products of east iron
and steel.     Roughly staled,   the    United
I States is said, to have exported goods ol
I this  description   to   Russia   last   year   to
j the amount of about $30,000,0011. 'The addition of 60 per cent to the duty will, it is
thought, prove practically prohibitory.
j The action taken means that the Russian government  will  not  concern  itself
I with a test case nor await the issue of such
a case. However, there is an expectation
that the American importers of Russian
sugar will make thc light in their own
interests. Some im-goes of Russian sugai
are now afloat and on the way to the
United States, where at least one is due lo
arrive in the next 10 days. It is not
doubted that the consignees in the United
States will, rather than pay the counter
vailing duty, which would make it ini]Kis
sib.e to compete with other sugar, make up
a test ease.
The text of the Russian order is as
follows:
"An order of the Russian minister ol
finance directs additional tariff of 30 per
cent net on articles included in para
graphs l.">0, 151, 152, 153 and 1(11, and section 2, discriminating tariff upon Ameii-
e.in hardware, iron, steel, boilers, pipes.
forgings, eastings, tools, gas and water
meters, dynamos, sewing machines; also
paragraph 107 of the Russian tariff laws,
when such articles are of American manufacture. This Includes motors and machinery of all kinds."
Qnlck Action.
Bt. Petersburg, Feb. 18.—Ilie finance
minister, M. DeVS'itte, lias proved his ability to hit quick and hard. He wus evidently prepared for reprisals before At-re-
tary Uige took final action. M. IX'Witte
sent to the senate for puhlimtion an
ordinance levying 80 per cent increased
duty on the most important American imports into Russia. The ordinance was
published today in the Official Messenger
and becomes effective March 1. This action is greatly regretted in American circles, and Americans anticipate much harm
therefrom. Well infonned Americans do
not believe the supreme co'urt will sustain
the claim that Russia pays a bounty on
sugar, directly or indirectly, and regard
the action taken as hasty, though not unexpected. It is believed that little liunii
would have resulted to Russian interests
if the action of the court had been
awaited.

ECZEMA'S
ITCH IS TORTURE.
Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
llaiuni.it n ni ; little pustular emotions fui in
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid,-which
dries and scales off; sometimes tne skin is
hard, dry and fissured. Eczema in any
form is a tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
humor Deems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. ^Salves, washes nor other exter-
rial applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
it will keep Uie skin irritated.        .. .

The Story Is Told by a Father Who Is
Grateful for His Daughter's
Recovery.
No. 91 Lincoln avenue, Cortland, N.
Y., was once a bouse of sorrow and
sadness. The danghter of George
Loncks, the pride of the household,
seemed going into a decline as'she
reached her early womanhood and her
condition oaused the greatest anxiety
in tbe family. Tbe happy ending of
the matter caused considerable excitement in the neighborhood and, when
questioned by a reporter, Mr. Loucks
made the following statement:
"About two years ago my danghter.
who was then in ber Kith year, was in
bad health. She was pale and thin,
without strength or vitality, in fact her
condition was that which is genurullv
oalied all run down. We were, of
course, worried about her and employed the best physioiaus to attend her.
Tbey studied her case and although
they did everything popsible, gave hev
no relief which waa permanent. The
late Dr. Angle had first called' my attention to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People, aud my wife had beard
they were a fine tonic, so we decided
to try them for my daughter. We did
so and inside of eight weeks the primary cause of her trouble was removed and she showed a decided gain in
health, strength and flesh.
"A great many people will buy a
mediciiib and take a few deses. Then
if they are not oured they throw it
aside as no good, or take it spasmodically. We believe in a lair trial in
strict accordance with directions and
our faitb fulness was rewarded for she
was greatly benefited by them. Her
color came to ber oheeks and she continued to gain in weight and strength.
We bave told a great many people
about them and have been glad to do
•o."

It is now definitely decided that an
Assay Office for the purchase of gold
is to be established at Vancouver,
while the Oanadian Mint will be
built1 at Ottawa. 'Maxwell and the
Mint" will soon be found both at the
Capital.
The promised reconstruction ot the
Cabinet is near at band, if we are to
believe the reports published in the
Coast papers. The new Minister to
go in, according to these same reports,
will be either Garden or Tatlow. of
Vancouver or Helmcken, of Victoria.

The Courts of Manitoba huye
declared tho Prohibition Bill cf Hugh
John McDonald's onconstitutional.
Sir Oliver Mowat, when Premier of
Ontario, declared that no Province
could pass a prohibition law, and his
decision was confirmed by the Privy
Council. But as long as the prohibition vote oan be secured without
alienating the support of the liquor
party, prohibition plank* will always
be in evidence in prpyippia| politics.
Hugh John will now have the laugh
on the earnest prohibitionists who
voted against him in the Brandon
contest.
Of immigration, Canada hist year
received thra* kinds—taxed, assisted
and voluntary. The first nearh
equalled the latter and was composed
of Chinese, who if they had stayed at
home and helped mako a (ierniaii
holiday miuht huve saved Canadians
from somo day turning Boxers, The
second, a class of serfs, downtrodt'en
for years in their native land and
Buffering with peculiar religious beliefs,
will in time become good and loyal
Canadians, happy and prosperous und
perhaps rich enough to be able lo send
out missionaries amongst the other
Canadians and thus spread iheir religious views. Last we find that class
who came of thsirown accord, seeking
to better their condition and ready to
put their shoulder to tlio wheel and
help make Cannda a great and
prosperous country. One ot" these is
worth more to Canada than all of the
other classes put together.

The bodies of some of Ihe miners lost
at'Cumberland, U. C. have been recovered. The immense loss of life in the
explos on then' is not to be lightly passed'
over, and Bhould be the atil>ject ol a Government invostinatloir Scotch miuers
were brouurht out to work in those mines,
nml retimed to aqcept the wanes coupled
with the danger. I know nothing about
ilie itdeijuacy of th- Wages, but the danger has been demonstrated. If the
Scotch .nineip tiayo to work with. Jap,
Cliineso anil Cooly assistance tho> have
a right to bo leery of tlio wliolu business.
Canada must prove herself not only able,
Imt anxious to protect the live.-i of all
miners, or men will fail to come to this
country from Scotland, Wales and the
south-west of England. Sympathy shown
10 Ibe widows ami orphans by the (im -
eminent can have little ell'tct. The min-
018 themselves, who ure tlie immigrants
wlm linti); wives antl children in tow, are
the ones who ure to be appealed to. This
cun only be done by proper regulations
Without these regulations wn cannot
hope to be 111 tractive to the belter class
of miners.

There is much more news goes into
the editors ears than ever trickles out
through hia pencil Some people
have pecular ideas of the duties of a

Which later, we will pet In cigarette*.
And o'er his fiiigraht, greasy, steaiiii.-iK
can
Of mystery stands tbe hot tamaloman.
In moisture  joints   where glasses clink,
we hear,
As through the dimly lighted streets wc
walk,
Men curge expansion o'er their later beer
With tongue a expanded till tbey scarce
could talk. .
And heelers, flush with eush of candidate,
To  drink   with   them   lhe red-nosed
rounders press,
And in their slangy eloquence dilate
Upon Ihe ballot's guarded sueredness
And ask the hummeis to do all they can
To land their pure, uuspotted, honest man
The night creeps on, the hack men at (he
call.
Their sleep banked eyes with chilly fin-
gere rub,
Then speed away with rattling wheels to
haul
The men with tangled legs home from
the club:
The tired barkeeps close and lock   tin lr
doors,
The bums themselves to ten-cent beds
betake:
The weary cop in darkened hallway snores
And dreams of clues he sees not w hen
awake.
The wicked town relinquisheB its sins
To catch a nap before the day   begins.
