This croup ol claims is owned hy William Valentine, of this place, who has done considerable development work upon (he group, most of Ihe work beinn confined tu developing tie veins on the Fairmont, Freeport and Fairliope claims. On the Fsirmont claim is a ten foot fissure vein Iving in the granite formation and upon which' considerable work has been done. This vein averatres across its whole width 40 ounces in silver tn the ton while there are numerous streaks in the ledue that will give assay returns of from 130 to 11.0 ounces in silver and from !j2. to (3, in gold to the ton. Specimens can be selected thst a'o neatly pme i-itver which will asssy up into the thousands. The ore Is what is known as dry, carries very little lead, a sma'l amount of zinc and quantities ol stephsnite, or black silver, and chlorides of silver. On tlie Freeport and Faiihope claims- which join the abow, a large amount of work has been done and they are alreatly developed srfficently lo make it a ship pini! mine, just as toon as transportation facilities become available. On these claims is a five loot fissure that has been traced for some di«tance and which contains a ten inch paystreak that has heen traced and woiked u|on for over 600 feet in length. Thia paystreak averages in value 246 ounces in silver to Uie ton ami is a dry ore carrying nrgentit*, grev copper and chlorides of silver. This ore is of a class but seldom met with in this province, but is characteristic ot some oi the richest mines ol Montana, Utah and Colorado. It hss not the flashy spiearattce of some of our Kiev copper and g-tlena oi j. Imt to those familiar with this class of dry ore it looks "good enoitvh to eat." Numerous open cuts, trenches oud shallow shafts hnve been ting on this vein and ihn e Uiunela have been driv n upon it varying in length from 110 to thiitv feet and making over 200 feet of tunne driven upon this vein sll of which is in pay ore. The vein lies in a porphyriiic- granitn formation antl in such a position that it can be developed by a system of tunnels. The new trail which Ihe 'lovernmen t proposes to build (his summer wil greatly help these properties and furnish a way over which these rich ores can be transported for shipment to the smelter. Mr. Valentine, who owns these properties, has spent considerable time and money in developing these claims and it now looks as it he was about to realize I ii)iiiii his lahor. ' The opening up snd working ol Ihe rich dry oio mines of the Silverton camp will greatly help tuis town and turn the attention of minion investors again lo our many rich prospects. The only mine on Slocsn Lake to ship this week was the Arlington, which sent out 100 tons. J MM Benedum left-on Wednesday for the Hoodoo claim, which he will open up this summer. Hill Bros, delivered n harge load of timhtrs ami plank on Tuesday for the Hewitt mine and tramway. On Wednesday a bluff was made at stalling up the Fisher Maiden n.ine, a superintendent, a foreman and two boys going to work. At the Bosun mine ten men aro at on contracts and four men under wanes from lhe company, making a force of fourteen engaged nt that property. J. A. McKinnon was up from the Hampton this week and reports opeia- tions in full swing. There is five feet of snow nt the mine and tbis is being added to by daily storms. The force of men engaged in repairing the Fi.ur Mile wagon road are now camped at the Wakefield concentrator. having repaired the road to within a short distance of that point. T. Hurley and B. Kneebone hare started to work upon a 500 foot contract in the No 3. tunnel st the Bosun mine. Thev have nlso secured the contract for the putting up of a raise, 140 leet, lo connect the No's 2 kA. tunnels on that property, a force of six men being employed. Tlio force at the Emily E-'ith mine has lately been reduced Hnd but a few men ■re now engaged at that p»operty. The Emily Edith hns lieen a large employer of laher in this camp and since coming under tlie mansgement of the present manager, E Itnmmeltneyer, has lieen wot ked continuously. It is a big concentrating proposition, fully developed and about the brst equipt mine in the Slocan, and is destined to cut a big figure in the silver-lead output of tbe Province.

Is the mill being built at the Enterprise mine on Ten Mile creek part of a stock hootning M'ltcine'.' From what we can learn the Enterprise mine bus comparatively little concentrating ore in sight, mnch less thnn would justify the erection ol such a plant as is being put Up. The presence of large quantities of grey copper of high silver valuea in the Enterprise ore makes it doubttul ii the values can lie saved in concentrating— at lesst no concentrator erected in ths vicinity has been able to treat this class ol ore successfully. The idle mills already built in this district should be a warning to others. We hope the Enterprise management will make a success of (heir mill, for their iailure will be an unnecessary black eye to the Ten Mile camp. The paper on B. C. Auriferous Quartz Deposits, written for a British mining magazine by J. D. Kendall, has lieen republished in pamphlet lorm and will doubtless help to counteract the effect ol recent failures in British Columbia mio - ing by British operators It is satisfactory to receive the wrter'n assurance that in regard to quartz, mining in the province very little British money has been lost, and even that little has not heen duo to lack of opportunities so much as to bad management. In this latter respect, Mr. Kendall firmly puts his finger on past errors, Owing to the keen commercial rivalry of American mining men, we must improve our methods. Very properly he denounces such unbusinesslike procedure—to use no harsher term—ss purchasing pro- nerlies on vendors' reports of building mills before sufficient ore is exposed to teed them, etc. His strictures on the habit of placing men in charge who are too inexperienced to deserve such responsibility are, we fesr. only too well deserved, but, in spite uf Ihe ninny blunders made in the past, he is of opinion that capital has an extensive nnd profitable field of operation in British Columbia in developing quartz deposits if the money is properly expended.

General Chaffee will be General MacArthur's guest, at the Mal- acanan palace. Decidedly the most surprising outcropping of the senatorial row ln South Carolina was the unexpected letter from Governor McSweeney to Senator Tillman. The governor declares to Tillman that if he wants to resign, his withdrawal from the senate will be immediately accepted. The report of George A. Ferguson, an analytical chemist, who made an examination of the stomach of the Rev. E. S. Phillips of Hazleton, Pa, who was found dead in the apartments of "Dr." Kirk Stanley three weeks ago, shows that Father Phillips was not poisoned. Stanley has been released. Miss Mary Daly, daughter of the late Marcus Daly, was married recently to James Watson Gerard of New York. The ceremony was performed at the residence of the bride's mother by Bish op Potter The bride was given away by her brother, Marcus Daly. Her only attendant was her young sister, Miss Harriet Daly. A magazine at the Mare island navy yard containing about 20 tons of smokeless powder became Ignited recently by chemical action. The powder did not explode, but generated.enough gas and smoke to force the top of the magazine. The powder ls now slowly burning up. It ls far removed from the black powder and there is no danger of an explosion. The magazine Is a fine one, constructed ln 1897 at a cost of several thousand dollars. It will be a total loss. The garrison ot Jamestown, Cape Colony, -which surrendered to Krltslng- er's command Sunday, June 2, numbered 80 men ln all. Kritslnger's force is estimated to have totaled 1,000 men.

The amount paid was $1,000,000 gold and 35 per cent of the common stock in a company to be organized. The road will he extended from Sandoval, Its junction point with the Vera Cruz railroad, to Tampico, making a short line of 12 hours from northern gulf ports. The members of the Washington Pan-American fair commission are unanimously in favor of dispensing with the services of Executive Commissioner O. M. Moore, and such action will undoubtedly be taken at a meeting to be held at Seattle. After Acting Secretary Frank Lawall made his report to the commission, members of the commission unanimously concurred in the opinion that Commissioner Moore must go. A most encouraging report on the financial prospects of the Pan-American exposition has been issued by the executive committee of the department of admissions. It shows that the average expenditures by the crowds within the grounds during May was 17 cents per capita, compared with an average of 18 cents during the first month of the world's fair. The largest day's crowd since the opening of the exposition visited the grounds today. The total admissions were 15,492. An attempt to run a street car through a religious procession of Italians at Eighteenth and Clark streets, Chicago, precipitated a riot in which the windows of the car were smashed and one man Injured. A riot call to the Twenty-second street police station brought a wagon load of officers, who saved the motorman and conductor from bodily Injury. Sticks and stones were hurled at the car until there was not a whole window left In it. The police restored order with great difficulty. "There has been no time in our history when conditions would so Justify the election of a president to a third term as ln the case of McKinley," said Congressman Charles H. Grosvenor of Ohio recently "McKinley is personally the most popular president we have had ln a long time, and he has certainly most creditably performed the duties of his high office. I think It is time, furthermore, to demolish the fiction that there is an unwritten law, established by Washington, that the president of the United States may not accept a third term." Detective Swayne, the Pinkerton man, in charge of the protective system established by the management ot the smelter at Northport, has talked freely about his work and the- company's'program In connection with the prosecution of the lockout against the striking nraeltermen. He states ln effect that the company will establish a town within the limits of their property, thus making the Institution Independent of the town of Northport and that the smelter will be treating ore on or about the 15th inst., regardless of the union, which Is to be ignored.

Washington; June 10.—Mrs. (McKinley's physicians have issued the following bulletin: "Mrs. MchMley's illness has been a blood infection reuniting from periostitis of the index finger ['tone felon), whicli lie- liegnn in f/is Angeles, and which was promptly treated by incision. The sulise- quent condition of exhaustion was dim to the fliiine blood infection aggravated With a diarrhoea. She improved, however, anil was brought home in comfort antl without loss of strength. Later. The slight Improvement on Mrs. McKinley's health which manifested Itself the latter part of the week continues, and hope begins to be felt' that she after all will recover from the present attack. The Improvement, however, Is so slight as not to change materially the extreme gravity of the case. The usual consultation of tho physicians was held this morning. A rich ore shoot ln the east drift of the Amador on iron mountain, Idaho, is reported. Some of the ore ls fur ahead of anything heretofore found ou the lower level of the claim. Republic. The Mountain Mon has resumed drifting on the 600-foot level, Work ls to be resumed on the Golden Lion nnd the Little Four Consolidated. The shaft on. the Morning Glory ls being sunk. There is no change In the formation. The slump in Republic shares is due to financial troubles into which the company has fallen, says Robert Jnf- fray of Tofonto. The management of the Mountain Lion Is In a position to begin the shipment of ore as soon as transportation facilities are provided. Work ls progressing steadily on the Wauconda property and an assay made on ore yesterday showed a value of $24.37 per ton. Thn delivery of lumber for the new mill lias begun. A good deal of free gold has been found In a large body of decomposed quartz on the south slope of Belcher mountain, near the state wagon road leading from Republic to Marcus. IIIHTISI! COLUMBIA. With last week's shipment the mineral exports of the division for the year are In excess of 2000 tons. The spring work on the Willard claim, situated about IJf miles from Silverton, has opened a good showing of ore. Operations have been resumed on the Hampton, at the head of Springer creek, owned by V^. F. McNaught of Silverton. During the past month a much larger body of ore has been blocked out on the Arlington, which Is in about the best condition since its opening. At the 70-foot level of the Iron Horse, near Slocan, the ore shoot has \yidened out considerably, and the grade of the mineral has Improved, native silver now showing ln the ore. Recent advices show that the Le Roi shipments have Increased considerably in value over the low figures which were Ttept up during March. Instead of running practically at cost, the mine has been giving substantial profits. One of the few features in connection with British Columbia mines during the past few weeks was the sharp recovery ln Let Rols, which, after having been as low as £4 at Christinas, were carried up at the. end of April to An encouraging strike of 12 inches of good ore has been made in the long drift of the Morning Star, Springer creek, at a depth of 120 feet. The property has been working in a small way all winter and this is the first ore encountered. Development at the Hewitt, at Silver- ton, has just uncovered a new body of ore ln the No. 2 tunnel. This ore is about 11 feet north from the main body on this level, and was caught in running a crosscut. The new find is two feet wide, all of shipping ore. A horde of hungry, disappointed gold seekers returned to Grand Forks from the scene of the gold excitement In Franklin camp. While no doubt there is gold in tho camp, it is still doubtful If it will ever pay more than small wages. The excitement seems to be unwarranted. Two properties are to be figured In the list during the week—the Enterprise and Arlington. From the Enterprise 20 tons were sent out, while the latter shipped four carloads, or 80 tons. The Enterprise is the only Ten Mile property shipping, and its exports average only 40 tons monthly. MINING NOTES. Much work will be done In the mining districts of Washington this summer by the geologic survey. Officials have planned to examine Republic camp and the Cascades. Another party will continue the work already under way In the Coeur d'Alenes. Chester Glass and J. W. Wltherop, of Spokane, Who recently bought the Oro- flno, Ore., are arranging to mill a large quantity «of ore. They plan the immediate installation of a large machinery plant for deep development. They are also considering the erection of a 20- stamp mill. Wardner, Idaho, people who own a group of claims up Government gulch, near the Crown Point, have formed a company to work the property. They have a good showing of oro and have purchased the 150-ton concentrator which stands on the Granite, ln the Coeur d'Alenes. Judge C. H. Neal has received a 50- pound sample of ore sent from the Summit, on Silver creek, near Keller, Wash. The specimen was taken from a depth of 10 feet. Six assays taken from this ore gave from $30 to $65 In silver and copper. Prospect holes sunk on the five claims owned by Messrs. Gray, Alekahder and Chezum who own the Summit, show a strong lead with the same character of ore. The owners of the property are now making extensive preparations for development. Articles of Incorporation have been filed at Spokane with the county audi- ter for the Kendall Gold Mining company, with a capitalization of $2,500,- 000, divided Into 500,000 shares at the par value of $5 each. The trustees of the company are A. B. Campbell, John A. Finch and R. K. Nelll, all of this city; Henry Wick of New York and H. T. Kendall of Lewiston. The first action of the compauy will be to put on the mine a 300 ton cyanide plant for the handling of the ore from the mine. Details for the construction of the plunt nre now being drawn up, and lt will be installed as soon as they are completed. There is enough ore In the mine to keep the mill going at Its fullest capacity, as over 300,000 tons are already blocked out ready for treatment. A giant nugget, weighing $264, was found In the recent washup on American hill, Klondike, on the claim being worked by Thompson, Adams, Gains and Cornelius. The latest reports from the north Indicate exceptionally lively times on ull the creeks. The cleanup of 1901 is ln full swing. From all parts cf the camp come reports of water running freely, and clalmowners taking prompt advantage of the opportunity to wash up their dirt. Summit- Is also beginning. Double shifts aro being put on at places. Sulphur creek reported n good flow of wntcr all along the stream nnd activity at all points. lOliliinitlo is busy everywhere on the creek bottom and hills. The report comes from Choehaeo hill that nearly every claim thero Is running full blast and an agregatc of 1000 mon aro estimated to bc employed on tho hill. The big pumping plans of McDonald & Grant and Borden « Co. are working to their full capacity. Hunker and Gold bottom aro alive with men engaged in sluicing and Hunker Is already sending some gold to Dawson. Bonanza has also sent In some new crop gold and ls working at nearly all points. No reports are hoard of scarcity of men and somo predict that there aro more men in tho camp now than will be needed at the busiest season. The long brewing war ngalnst concessions In the Klondike has opened with attacks against the big grants from all quarters, according to the Dawson News. Suit has been .filed in the gold commissioner's court ngaim-'t the Doyle concession, on Bonanza, and the Matson concession. A third suit ls also to be brought against the Mat- son concession. ALUM IN^FOOD. How Can Ihe Danger Be Avoided? The reported cases of poisoning from thc use of alum linking powder have awakened tint public to the serious danger which menaces the health of the people of tlie country in tho numerous alum powders which are Urged upon consumers. Generally, ilium powders may lio known from the price ut which tliey arc sold, or from the fact that tliey arc accompanied by 11 gift, or arc disposed of under some sclieme. The alum powder costs but a few cents per pound to DUke, and is often sold at 20 or 25 cents a pound; and sometimes as low A*i 10 cents. It is impossible to nuinc all the alum powders in the market, but any baking powder sold at a low price, or advertised as costing much less thnn the well known, high olaM powders, or accompanied by a present, or disposed of under any scheme, is of this class, detrimental to liciiltli and to be avoided. These facts should incline consumers to turn a deaf cur to all importunities to buy the inferior powders. The wise housekeeper will decline in all cases to take them. TRADE REPORT. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade for last week says: The labor situation in many parts of the country was still seriously unsettled and constitutes a reason for hesitation Is some industries, discouraging new operations which satisfactory con ditlons would otherwise stimulate. But a quick decision is to be expected In some of these labor controversies, and in the meantime trade is encouragod by reports of satisfactory condition of winter wheat over a large portion of the country.

Folks thet don't talk at all kin make as much trouble as them thet says too much. The diseases most feared are those which are inherited—handed down from generation to generation, and family to family. By far the most destructive of these is Cancer, which finds the greatest number of its victims among the children nntl grand-children of those whose blood was tainted with this dreadful malady. You may carry this poison in the blood for years, but as the ¥it_il powers begin to wane a slight bruise or cut, wart or mole, sore or pimple may develop into Cancer. From middle life to old age Is the time when the slumbering poison is most apt to break out, a sore or ulcer often degenerating into Cancer, uml Tumors become more progressive and ulcerate through the skin, the sharp, shooting pains causing the most intense suffering. The Cancer patient naturally grows despondent as one after another the usual remedies fail, antl the sore shows no sign of healing. The impurities that have been accumulating in tlie System, perhaps for generations, cannot oe eliminated nor the poisoned blood made pure by salves, washes and plasters. The proper treatment is to purify and build up the blood, remove the cause, when tbe sore or ulcer heals. S. S. S. goea directly llr. J. B. Arnold, of Groeuwood, S. C, writes: "A ' tiny ulcor came, just under the left eye. It beiran spreading, and grew worse rapidly, destroying the flesh as it went.

York, June 10.—The Financier says: One of the surprising features of the New Vork bank statement of dune 8 ia the extension of 121,884,400 in the loan item. The effect of this increase was shown in a I'oi'ii'-poiiiling rinc in deposits, and as this in turn necessitated a very much larger reserve thc excess surplus suffered a decline of about 08,000,000, the loss of nearly $3,000,00 in cash holdings having been an appreciable factor in this respect. The present excels stands at $13,341,500, as against $21,253,050 for the preceding week. The decline is equivalent, therefore, to 37 per cent, which, for one week's operations, is unusually Inrpe. The increase in the loan item can bo attributed in part to I'nion Pacific convertible bonds, operations which called for heavy .accommodations •luring the week, and the fact that one bank which had a great deal to do with the transaction reported an increase in loans of about $8,00O.00O strengthens Ihis theory, In addition, however, it is known that commission houses have been borrowing heavily, especially on long time, and litis also assisted in swelling the volume of outstanding loans.

Fbakcis J. O'Reilly. «8|2|01 The long continued ' neglect of the Government towards Red Mountain is exasperating. There only remains thirteen working days before the appropriation for the wagon road will lapse and from present appearances the apathy of those who might push the work through ia undisturbed. Many efforts have been made by those interested to find out what is causing this delay and Member Green and Road Inspector Moore have been applied to many times during the last nine months, but both seem to be in the densest ignorance in the matter. It was senii-otticially given out that some disagreement with the Miner- Graves Syndicate was at the bottom of the trouble, but surely the Government can do wbat tbey agreed for the people of Silverton and the other claim holders on lied Mountain, even should tbey not bo able to agree as to the location of the road or the manner of building it with the Rockland people, The studied neglect of this camp is discouraging. On the Kaslo slope prospect* can hare government roads built tor thero, pleasure grounds and sidewalks are provided at government expense in other places, needles* but expensive wagon roads arc built where no mines exist simply to boom trade in other camps, but the Silvertou district, apparently, cannot even get trails to producing mines. In three years only 81000. haa been expended here in new roads or trails by the Government, this being a refund voted the Hewitt mine, being about ten per cent of the taxes contributed by the camp and vicinity. The whole system of road and trail building througbt the Province is rotten. The Department of Lands and Works is not in touch with the people and the squandering of public money by the member* for political purposes is too much in evidence. If the people of this camp, or of the Slocau, bad power to build and repair their own roadrand trails the country would be developed fifty per cent farther than it is at present, and the cost to them would not have been nearly so great as it is now. A county division, such as is bad in the progressive provinces, could, with advantage to all concerned, be inaugurated, and tbe people could pay for what they get. and, what is more to the point, get what they pay for. The necessity of having to beg and petition for a small share of their own money, and to be gratefully thankful for whatever is doled out to them, is played e»t. It would seem just at present that the powers that be were purposely holding back tho prosperity of this place. We have, within a radius of ten miles, several dry silver properties and many gold and gold-copper prospects, all of which could aud would bn working if transportation were afforded, which wopld .relieve tho tension caused by tlie shuttitig down of the silver-lead mines. Several of these properties aro in a position to ship, but not a drill is being turned in any of them, simply because of lack of CEY LON A ND INDIA TEA.

These three words tell the life led by the prospectors; that restless army of men who prowl in the deepest canyons and on the biiow covered peaks throughout the length and breadth of the Rocky Mountain region. The prospector is the product of the West, the forerunner of civilization and tho pioneer of all our prosperous towns and mining camps Seldom does he reap the lull benefit of his discoveries, which loo often go to enrich some mining shark, who after tin- trail has been biased and the road made passable into a new country follows to reap the rich harvest made possible by thc toil and exposures endured by the hardy prospector. The prospector cannot endure to wait and nlthough he may know that in a little time he will be ablo to sell out at a big figure his restless nature goads him to sell to sote speculator for a small sum and again beheads into the wilds. He strikes a new prospect, founds yet another camp and makes up his mind this time to stay with it and settle down. Then staggers into the camp some prospector from the yet deeper wilds, half dead with fatigue, hunger and exposure and with scarcely enough life in his body to keep his soul irom slipping over the divide. He brings news uf new diggings and at once the camp is in a turmoil. Those prospectors who can sell out for a grub stake do so nud those that cannot abandon their claims and strike out for the new discovery.
