The first 8 fret of the tunnel, after passing the foot-wall into the ledge, was in solid ore that averaged above $5 gold per ton, and that would concentrate about ten to one, making a very clean saving of tho gold; tho next 8 feet averaged about half an much, and the remaining part of the tunnel appeared to be in a "horse." After driving the tunnel, the owners could never get persona examining the property with a view of purchas ing, to see that the tunnel did not prove tho failure of the ore to bold its richness with depth, nor were they uble to push it to tho point where they believed it would be fair to say whether or not such was the case.

Tho amounts run in1o tho millions, while the profits are distributed among tho owners and (he wage-woikers in a most generous proportion in the latler. For 1806the value of mineral exports (torn the Bhosn country was $1,110.IK'.; for 1897 the valuo of such exports was 18,099386, almost three times tin- nun of the previous year. This output comes from thirty or more mines, giving employment to several thousand men, The ores ore handled by n down smelter, which in turn employ hn.idteds of WSge- earnors.

Time and time again the Importance of the mining district at tliiido>r-< of the Inland Empire has been pointed out. In some degree the opportunities have been grasped hy men eager for good invent- ments, but the field is yet almost S virgin one Improvements in mining have Keen employed only within a brief Inter* val. There has bsen a falling market in sliver and lead with which to contend, nnd other conditions have hampered poor m*U who nra carving out their tor- tunas and ilrnse of others Under these conditions, therefore, the record of the Slocan is one of which any district may be proud, it will Increase in 1808 over 1897, nnd the end of the century miv find tho Slocan close to the leaders of i day I proved conclusively that sho has never Charles Butler, who has been Agent L. ovi;1.C8liinut0li M ,0 true V!llue.

SPECIMENS OF ORE. W.S.Clark has taken great interest in collecting specimens ol ore from the different mines throughout tho Slocan, which ho bus neatly nrrainged in lib; office so as to attract the utton'ion of those who chance to call. While the «Iihj>Iiiy is not as largo as Mr, Clark hopes soon to have it, many compliment :ire bestowed upon the agent (or the Interest The View* of an Old-Time Prospcetor on the Frosi>eetl-e Work in the Slocan for 1808. It is sofe to say that there will he more legitimate prospecting and development work dono in the Slocan Like coontry tho ooraing season than all work previously done by prospectors in the past six years. Owing to the failure last season of that class of prospectors, who should bo more appropriately named land sharks, to wild-cat or sell claims that had not enough work done on them to bury an old hat, and whos-? principal merit lay in their being in a favorable position to iuterseot some ledge, many of the above class—who.have greatly retarded the development of the district —have gone out of business, and the legitimate prospector will now have a chance to get out and go over care - fully a large numberof claims, which these "land-grabbers," througt their being too indolent to do the necessary work required by law and their inability to palm off on a "sucker purchaser," have been forced to throw- up. This wil! open up quite a field for the genuine prospector, and we will no doubt, see some of the biggest strikes made this year in the history of the country; and capitalists or raining investors will be able to negotiate and deal with men who know that a prospect is only a prospect, no matter how promising it may look, and are willing to sell it on its merits as such, and who do not swell around rattling a two-bit piece oud a poker .-bo in their pocket, tel'ing of $50,- 000 deals as if tbey were used to them every dsy. Men who make mining a business, have quit chasing moonbeams; pulled their heads down out of tho clouds, grit their teeth, and went to work like men to develop their claims; make a mine or dig it out. This camp has been no exception to almost all new mining camps, wlr'ch have sprung up in tbe last few years, sii.ee the railroad has made almost all the big mineral belts accessable or easy to get at. As soon as a new camp is struck, a class of "sharks," with tbe cry cf "boom; boom," rush in, nnd before the honest prospector has time to look around, they have staked a!l the surrounding country, regardless of whether it is mineral or not; then sit around, talk big and try_ to sell their claims, or wait for some oneielsoto find ■something on them, when tbey step in, assert their rights, and nsk hig prices. Eventually tbey are forced to dropout, then the country settles down 4\o a butiness bssis mid the "boom" bursts, and real prosperity begins.

Especially Is this true of hotel keepers, who have been most liberal with men seeking employment, often carrying them several months, without receiving a dollar, and, in many instances, these same men who have thus been accommodated, work until Juilue Ji'tle, lieutenmit-governor-elect ,„ . . , ., ,, , , , • , , ,,. • , thev get money sutheient to take them of Quebec, made his lait Official appear- ■"" B " **" J auoe on the benoh in Montreal Wednes- elsewhere, neglecting to even leave day, when he presided over the full their address.

In the long run, the man who pays cash, must bear tbe burden of those who never do pay. When new men arrive, it will be much easier to make the change than under present circumstances, end god speed ^the - day when the cash system ia adopted throughout the Kootenay. WILL NOT SELL THE LAND. Two important lines of policy have been adopted by the department of tho interior. It has been decided to sell no land in the Yukon district at present, but to retain in tho public interest from speculators, in order that actual settlers or miners may not be handicapped by finding tracts of mineral land tied up upon which they desire to locate. It has also been decided to ofler timber berths in the Yukon to public competition to be sold to the highest bidder. Tenders have been called for bids for timber up to January 25th. A large number of applications for*-, berth land and timber have been received at the department, and these have caused Hon. Yr.

A dispatch from Washington intimates that President McKinley will urge on congress tbe early payment of the claims of tho Canadian sealers awarded by the joint commission. It is said that a vein of ruby silver baa been encountered at a depth of 1,000 fee'in the R?co mine. The vein is two feel iu width, and the ore is worth from 75 cents to $1 a pound, with silver at its present quotation- At a depth of 300 feet, forty-two inches of ore was encountered in the Charleston mine, near Whitewater, Wednesday, which carries 700 ounces in silver and 43 per cent lead. The mine is owned by Winnipeg and Kaslo people. An electric road will soon be built from New York to Philadelphia that will, it is said, enable passengers to make the journey at tho rate of 200 miles an hour. Tesla says tbe scheme is feasihie and that the speed can without difficulty be attained, and without inconvenience to the traveling public. Some expert declares that a sixty- tr.inute engagement between two big fleets of tho modern type would Involve a cost of over £500,000. And this estimate takes into view only expenditure of ammunition and wear and tear of guns—leaving out of consideration damage to and loss of vessels, which might amount to mil!iotiB cf dollars. An exchange contains the following problematic paragraph which at first thought mny appear intricate: There was a man wbo owed another man a dollar and be had only 75 ceuts. he went to a pawnbroker and pawned the 75 cents for 50 cents and and went out. lie met a friend end sold him tho pawn ticket, calling for 75 cents, for TO cents.

The Mining Critic, published at Vancouver, in its last week's issue takes exception to a recent article in the Silvertoxiax on the progress and future outlook of the Ualena Mines. It says: "It is abundantly clear that these last are, ('meaning the underwriters) through the press of the Slocan district, setting to boom the mine for more than it is worth, in order to unload ou tbe British public." In this tbe rfaber manipulator is in error, snd well does he know tbst there has been no effort on tbe part of the Slocan press to create any "boom" whatever. for the Galena Mines company. During tbe past season numerous representatives of newspapers and piining journals visited tbe workings of this compsny with a view of a gratis write-up, but when it came to an interview with the manager in charge, they were told that it was not the desire of tbe company to make any statements for publication, and there has been less mention made pf_tlip (JalenaMines by the newspapers Of the province than any company working the same nnmber of men in the Kootenay district We know nothing of the company -Other than their works at tbe mine, which will prove to any one who desires to investigate, that they have worked faithfully and systematically fn developing the property, and have'at all times had a manager in charge wbo thoroughly understood mining, and, there has baen no "dead1* work done ptherthan was absolutely necessary. It is abundantly evident that tbe Mining Critic scribe has some | personal enmity toward the promoters and is ever on the alert to publish disparaging reports about a property when he is entirely ignorant of facts, as he has never even visited this camp, and no doubt his personal spleen, mixed with n little curbstone gossip, is his only mesns of bis gaining information, but no remarks of that journal can cause, tbe mineral to disappear, in the mine, there is no cause for auy member of the company to lay awake nights pondering over his investment. With s little more development, tbe Gtlens Mines company will have one of the greatest silver-lead producers |n British Columbia, if present indications count for aught. LONDON'S NEXT FIELD OP INVESTMENT. The Statist says: It is obvious that the public is once more eagerly looking out for a new of investment, and there is much to support the view that (he next great investment will be towards Canada. Of course interest in South Africa has not ceased, and capital will be forthcoming as good enterprises continue to be found. Of course, likewise, there will be a free investment in Western Australia. And whenever ovorbank ing comes to nn end, and good season follow bad, there will he once more a largo investment in the other Australian colonies. In India, furthermore, there is a large field for investment, if it were only wisely encouraged by the Indian government. But upon the whole there eeems no scope for new enterprise equal to that offered by Canada The population of Canada is now numerous enough to permit of a large and long-continued European investment, provided always it is wisely conducted. The Canadian population is much larger then that of Argentina at the time of the boom that began ten years ago It is larger likewise, than the aggregate population of all the Aug tralian 'colonics. And, furthermore, tbe Canadian population is prosperous and intelligent Beyond this, it is now proved thst Canada has immense undevejoped resources, not in gold only, but in other minerals, and she has a large area of fertile and unset- fled land. * * It is to be hoped that investors will exercise greater intelligence and greater caution than they have hitherto done in most instances. There is. a fine opportunity in Canada, but, of course, there will be all sorts of dishonest promotion, nnd unless judgment is exercised nonoy will be lost on a large scale, as it has been lost in all former periods of frep ftyestmenf. ! MINING MEN ON ORGANIZATION'. i The mine-ownerr. ihrongboot the Western states sre endeavoring (to form an alliance among them- selves, thereby placing themselves in better shape to protect their interests against tbe greed of the smelter trusts, and now is a most propitious time for the mine-owners of British Colombia to fortify themselves, so as to be able to be in shape to demsnd thst which they honestly belongs to them from* the smelter combines— and ir no other way can this be done than by forming themselves into one compact body. There are numerous other impositions from which the shippers at present have no redress, which can be dealt with in mere forci - ble manner, if there ia a union formed among the mine-owners. That the mine-owners of British Columbia are made to softer hoavy losses annually by unjust indiscrimination at tbe hands of the smelters of the United States, as well the manner in which tbe duty on lead is collected, no ono will attempt to question, and this fact alone,should bestir mine- owners to give snch encouragement to that will cause new local smelters to spring up so as to make it unnecessary to send their ores to 'a foreign land for treatment, to say nothing of the many other benefits to be derived in building up local institutions of this class. In referring to some of tbe impositions which the mine-owner is now compelled to submit to, the British Columbia News quotes J. M Harris, one of the principal owners of the Beco mine, as saying: "Among others matters requiring adjustment, is the injustice inflicted upon shipping mines in the matter of duties charged by the United States government upon lead ores imported from British Columbia. The smelter makes a reduction of 10 per cent upon all lead received, on account of waste and shrinkage, so that the shipper only receives 90 per cent of the lead in ech consignment, but in spite of this fact the government charges tbe full duty on the entire amount In all tbe published statements snd comparative estimates of tbe past and present prices of lead which I have seen, the nc» import duty of 91,50 per hundred has been figured with no mention of the added loss resulting from the government's charge for the full amount So that with lead at 14 it bas been stated that the net re- tujns wohld be ?2 50. These figures are misleading as a reduction of 40 cents should first be made from the quoted price of $4, after which the tariff of 81.50 reduces the net proceeds to $2.10 per hundred. On shipments of lead ores to Swansea smelters we receive credit tor the full amount, so that it would seem that either the Swansea people are genuine philanthropists, or we are paying too much tribute to the American smelters. The deduction tcr moisture supposed to be contained in our ores is often excessive. These matters might properly be brought within the province of the Northwest mining association, and if no relief can be had at this time from tho smelters we should at least a cure a reduction of the government tariff so that the payment of duties will be decreased to correspond with the smelter returns." Frank A. Wood, superintendent of the Last Chance, expressed himself to to the News man as follows: "The lead trust arbitrarily fixes the price of lead, and the only way to neutralize the effect of their close organization is to meet them on the same footing. Such a union forces would be of particular benefit to the smaller mines, enabling them to pool the product of a group of properties, so that the smelter men would have one good big customer to deal with, instead of making their own terms with a mine shipping only a few cars during the. Under present conditions, complaints are jrequently made of dis crimination tj-ainst small shippers in the matter of smelter charges. With an intelligent organization all thesn kicks could he handled by the proper tuthority, putting an end to rebates, discounts and discrimination of all kinds, Tho silver-lead ores of th Slocan and Coeur d'Alencs are becoming more indispensible to the smelters every year, as the are always needed for fluxing purposes. In former years it was necessary in some of the big smelters to melt up pure lead bullion in thii process, causing a considerable waste and shrinkage. It is therefore a great advantage to the smelters to use our silver-lead ores.

"ST 73 R, Silverton, of imperial federation, it is nat-miA LuXC VlClV illi'lUK*. that Lord Aberdeen, being a strong Separatist by genuine conviction, should regard imperial unification, whether political, fiscal, or commercial, with scant sympathy, nnd we should not have a word to say against his giving expression to that feeling but for the position he occupies as the Queen's repro83iita- tive in North America. He might have safely left it to Mr. Edward Blake, who followed him, to make Canadians believe that they will never get anything out of the Mother Country, let them do what tbey may lor the benefit of British trade. This Irish Separatist took upon him to assert that Canadian statesmen bad long ago been given to understand that in any struggle with the United States Canada must rely upon her own aims and stout hetrtl, meaning that she would get no military lnlp from the United Kingdom. This amazing assertion was apparently made in Lird Aberdeen's presence, and as he did no give it contradiction, come of the company assumed, no dotbt, that Mr. Blake's disclosure was true.

Only s short eight weeks ago she married her dear Gun, snd had followed him to his home la W., and already be had began to neglect her, to go oat of an evening and to leave bar alone in tbe big boose. He bad tried to convince ber that be could not altogether neglect bis former friends and eompnaioas and that she ought not to ebjcot to bis meeting them on two evenings every week snd to psss an agreeable boor or two ia their company Over a friendly game of whist, bat she simply did not comprehend how be could enjoy himself without her; bow be oonld ever think of going anywhere without taking ber along. "Ob. tbe dreadfol evenings I have to Spend 1" sbo complained, with tears in ber eyes. "I am obliged to sit here all alone because I havi. as yet had no ebanee to form any acquaintances here. Naturally I gst homesick. Often I feel like leaving everything and taking tbe train borne to my parents." •Would it not be better, darling, if you went to bed and tried to sleepT" "Tbat is Just where tbe trouble is," she replied, still in tears. "I am afraid. Our servant sleeps way op in tbe attio She would not even hear were anything to happen to me." "Why yen foolish child, wast Is there to be afraid ef? What is going to happen*"' "Are not tbe papers every day fall of burglaries and robberies?" she persisted. "Think of the msny strangers that flock to a well knows health resort like thia Nothing Is Impossible nnier snob oir- oemstanoss " The husband looked tnoughtfully at bis sweet bride. "No, dear; I do not want you to frighten yourself into Illness. I promise you herewith of my own free will"—tbe poor fellow could not help heaving a sigh as be said this—'' to return promptly at 11 o'clock whenever I go to meet my friends. It is impossible for me to withdraw myself from their society altogether, fee they would ridicule and make fan ef me and oall me heupeoked. Burglars rarely pat in their appsaranoe before the hoar of 11, the streets being fall of life and traffic Gcndby, darliag, and please do not feel lonesome." Annie sighed and submitted resignedly to her fate. She read awhile. She then took up her embroidery, a present for her mother. She played a game of solitaire, and finally she paced restlessly up and down the room. At home there bad been a large family circle; bonce it waa vary trying to hsr to be left so much to bersslf in her new surroundings. At 10 o'clock even the familiar noises In the kitchen osased, for tbe servant had gons np stairs to her attio, and the poor woman felt tbe old feeling of distress and fright orecp over her. The sitting room was located at the rear of tbe boose, and there was a hallway between it and tbs front rooms. She therefore eould not hear the usual noises. A deathlike silence, reigned in the room. Tired and yet exeitea, -_-.« carew herself on tbe lounge. She sadly reflected why beerhouses and eard parties had been called into existence. By and by her thoughts became more and more confused, and she fell into a sound slumber. It wss 11:05 o'clock when Qua arrived breathlessly and posthaste st his house door and tried to fit bis key into the lock. Poor fellow I Had evil spirits conspired to get him into trouble? Click— the key broke in two, and the bit stuck fast in the keyhole, handle and barrel alone remaining in bis hands. Hs knocked, he called, ho knocked again and louder—for unfortunately there was no house bell; all in vain. "I hardly think my wife has retired as early as thia," he reflected, "but of course she ia in tbe Bitting room, and most likely she cannot hear me." Once more he knocked, this time very loud. He called until bis voice was hoarse; no reply. To fill his cup of misery to the brim it commenced to rain, and he was without an umbrella. "Perhaps Annie ban gone to bed after all," be thought, shivering and dripping wot. "Shall I go to a hotel? No I What would the people think 1 Tbe only place that I know of that may still be open is the railway depot, for there is a train arriving at midnight" He went down the street in a pouring rain and at last found himself in the Waiting room of the station. "A glass of beer, sir?" asked an enterprising waiter. Gus shook himself. He felt chilly. "Punoh," he said, "and make it hot I" He drank one glass and then another and still another to while awsy the time. He was the only person there. In due time tha last train had arrived, and he could stay no longer. They were about to close up. Iu sheer desperation he looked at his watch. It was 1 o'elock when he emerged into the street, and it had ceased to rain. The full moon seemed to grin and wink at him maliciously through the olouds, as though she meant to say: "See, old man, it serves you right Why must you go out to play cards and leave yonr wife at homo in loneliness?" Iu spite of the repeated potations be (till felt chilly. "There is no help for it but a good run," he said to himself, starting on a lively trot through th. city, first down one street, then up another, through the suburbs, until hs readied the open country and back again without stop or test for fear of catching cold. The town clock struok the hour of 4. "ft is still too early to got into the house," he said. "Tbe front door il never unlocked before 0 o'olock. Will they bo able to unlook the door anyway? A piece of my key stioks in the lock. The women are imprisoned and cannot get out But now I oan stand this no longer. I must have something hot to drink and sit down somewhere. There is a train at 4 o'clook." And forthwith ho once mors wsnded his way to the tailroad depot. A snug corner and a cup of hot coffee tomewhat restored him. But be was very tired, and pretty soon he was as sound asleep in bis corner as his wife had been tbs night before on her lounge. And how did his wifo fare? She awoke in the middle of the night with a start, almost frightened out of her wits by a horrid dream, in whioh ber husband had appeared before her, wounded, bleeding and torn by huge bloodhounds. Pretty soon, however, she comprehended tbe situation. Her face bathed in tears, she paced restlessly up and down tbe room, wringing her hands "Oh, the wretch I To stay out all nightl Just to think of itl Such a man bus the effrontery to talk to me of love. Not content to act like a villain, he even bad to make fun of me last night by pretending he would henceforth be horns at 11 o'clock. Who would ever have thought him so base? They close the beerhouse after midnight; hence he cannot pretend to be playing cards there all night. Heaven only knows where be is spending tbe night, in whose company he is enjoying himself, while I— But he'll find that I am not his dupe. 1 shall leave him at once. Thero is a train at 7 o'olock in the morning which I am going to taks and go home to my par- eats." At t o'olock she culled the serving maid, whom she sent to tbe garret for a valise and commenoed to pack. The maid said nothing, and she was surprised that her master had not risen and did net help his wife. However, she made the coffee and went after a cab. Tbe front door was wide open and a locksmith busy with tbe big lock when Annie appeared in the hall. Tha landlady ran to meet her, exclaimipg in a hurry of excitement: "Did you hoar about it madam? A thief was here last night and made an attempt to enter the house. Some one must have frightened him off. Hs left a broken key stuck fast in the lock, and was unable to unlock the door. I had to eall from the window until I aroused a neighbor, who ran for a locksmith. Now I am going to have a patent lock put on and spoil their littlo game. But you look very pale, ruy dear madam. I am sorry to havo frightened yon with my burglar story. Are you going to take a ride so early thin morn- ing?" Annie nodded aid passed on. Sho was glad that tbe woman had not seen her valise, which her maid had already put into the cab. "What a narrow escape I bad last nightl How near I oame being robbed— perhaps worse!" She was now thoroughly angry. So much more roason for leaving the fellow, no matter what the consequences I "For the present I iXiall remain with my paronts." Thus musing, rdie arrived at tho depot. Before purchasing her ticket sho intended to leave her valine iu tho waiting room. Anulo entered and innde for an empty tnble, when suddenly she dropped tho valise and almost Rcrcoiucd aloud. Wasn't thst ber husband, "her" Qus, sitting thero in" a corner and snoring loud enough to mako everybody in the room rmilc nt bis n.;sril powers? He looked tired 'and worn, and ins garm-oio appeared damp Hew did he get here, and why waa be in snob a dilapidated condition? She stood for a moment undecided and unable to take her eyes off bis drawn, worneut features. Suddenly the sleeper opened his eyes. Whatever the outcome, she must avoid a scene in a publie room. Anything but that. The waiters had more than once looked wonderingly at the man who had drunk three cup. of coffee and then fallen asleep hours ago. Annie tried to appear quits nnoonoaraad and took a seat beside ber husband. Somehow her anger had suddenly vanished. "Oh, darling, what brought me—I mean rather what brought you—here?" he asked, astonished at tho unexpected appearauoe of his wife dressed for a Journey. "Never mind, dsar. Don't bother about that new," she whispered. "Come, let us ride home, where I will explain all." Qus acquiesced in silence. His feet felt heavy and hardly able to carry his weight. He was sick. All he could do was to drag himself to a cab. And then explanations were in order. Annie had no reason to doubt her husband's narration of his adventures during tho night, and what the landlady bad told her about the broken key tended to corroborate and exonerate him. But ho could not quite make out from her ixplonations what had taken her to the railway station. He was, however, too ill to ask many questions. Arrived at home, she simply told the astonished servant that "they had changed their mind and would not go away because her husband, who hod preceded her to the depot, had been suddenly taken sick," and sent her after a physician. Qus was very sick. For two weeks he could not leave his bed. A complicated and aggravated attack of influenza was the result of bis experience during that ill fated night. Annie never left his bedside, and now it was her groat care and tireloss, devoted nursing that opened his eyes an to the depth and unselfishness of her great love for him. At last Qua got well, and though he would now and then go to hnve a social game of whist his wifo never again doubted him, even if be staid out later than 11.—From the Uermau. . • . - ^ », /*u agricultural order of merit is to b» given annually to oificern and others in tb» 1'reuoh army who possess knowledge of technical works nuefnl to agriculture.

In speaking of the project to build to the Boundary country he said that he in- tendodjto apply for a charter for that purpose and would build just as soon ae conditions justified it. At present there is not a sufficient business to justify tbe expense, but as there are tunny One mires in that distiict tho probabilities Hre that a road could do a good business* there within the next two years. The route will not be all Canadian hut will extend from Northport over the easiest grades on both sides of tbe line. Mr. Corbin Bays that he does not care where be hauls ore. He would a* readily take oro from the Colville country and bring it into British Columbia for smelting il there was an equal amount of monev in it for him. If anybody wants to build a timelier alone the line of the proposed road or within a mile of it, be will haul as cheaply to it as to Northport. He thinks the idea of an export duty on ore is absurd and would have a tendency to keep capital out of tbe country. It la a matter that will eventually right itself. Kootenay people should throw nothing in the way of the development of low grade mine?.

A venturesome experiment ia about b'.dng made hy a lumbering corporation on the Pacific const in the rafting ol lumber on tbe ocean from the Willamette river in Oregon to Sin Francisco. It is proposed to transport 5,000,000 feet of lumber in a single rait towed by a steamer. Tbe floor ol tho huse structure is 53 feet long hy 390 feet wido. The mii'-s of lumber will be 21 feet high, held together by a forest of long iron boltu disposed about 12 feel apart. When completed, two-thirds .of its bulk will be below the water line, above which its top will rise only eeven feet. The principle of the whalebiick steamers on the lakes I? followed, which allows any travel which may he encountered to sweep over tho raft, instead of pounding against it. A steel rahle having the strength of a 14-inch hawser is passed longitudinally around the mass, to which tbe lowline is attached. Tho enterprise is in charge of John ruulsen, who U said to have bad largo experience in rafting timber on the great lakes, and on the Baltic before coining to America, According to the Otegonian, be proposes to patent his plan.
