The London Mining Journal, in an article beaded "Quacks in Mining," gives the foliowinir as sn example of bow some Boards of Directors conduct their business. As to the effect ol such "management" upon the mines, we in tbe Slocan do not have to lie told. It is too obvious to require telling. "Some of ua bave doubtless been present at these entertainments," says The Journal, apeaking of board meetings, "when a series of well dressed gentlemen rush in one after another, exchange commonplaces, light their cigarettes und proceed to business. 'Nothing new, Mr. Secretary? Well,the manager's report, 1 voto that's taken as read, pass on to the n"xt. A series of letters. I say, you'll look inlo them, there's a good fellow; important you say never mind, they'll wait, I must catch the 12 50. By jove, I must be off; see yon all next week.' The chairman i off and all the bu°iness is shunned. The poor manager is left to shift for himself and Inter on he will be badgered for not bringing something or the other to tha notice of the board earlier, thereby wasting precious time We are quoting now from actual experience, which teaches us that it is a rare thing to find a board take an uctive and intelligent interest in tbe business of a mining con-pany In aboit they are quacks. Nor is tliij surprising when one remembers that the half dozen directors are prolmbly men absorbed in in their own respective occupations, and that the technicalities of minea, mining reports anil plans are as so much Greek to them- The fault lies in tbeir pretend" ing to know and to be able to direct when tbey are utterly ignorant and in- canable." A Horrible Accident. TbeObapleau mine was the scene Of a fatal accident last week, in which Mrs. G. B. Bonr, the wife of one of the employees was burned to death. The nn- foitunate woman waa alone in the camp ■'■' and fainted, fa ling upon tbe cook stove.

No woman ever wrote a novel where at least seven men didn't propose to tbe same girl who was too good to flirt with any of them. vtf' General Frederick Funston, who on March 23 captured General Emilio Aguinaldo, when interviewed by the I representative of the Associated Press, : made the following statement concern- I ing the capture of the Filipino leader: "The confidential agent of Aguinaldo I arrived February 28 at Pantabangiiii. , In the province of Nueva Ecija, north- , em Luzon, with letters dated January 11, 12 and 14. These lettei'sswere from Emlllo Aguinaldo, and directed Baldo- mero Aguinaldo to take command of the provinces of central Luzon, supplementing General Alejaudrlno. Enillio Aguinaldo also ordered that 400 men be sent him at once, saying that the bearer of the letters would guide these men to where Aguinaldo was." General Funptoh secured the correspondence of Agulnaldo's agent and laid his plans accordingly. Some months previously he had captured the camp of the insurgent general, Lacuna, incidentally obtaining Lacuna's seal, his papers and a quantity of signed correspondence. From this material two letters were constructed, ostensibly from Lacuna to Aguinaldo. One of these contained Information as to the progress of tue war. The other assorted that pursuant to orders received from Baldomero Aguinaldo, Lacuna was sending his best company to Presi- dente Emilio Aguinaldo. His plans completed and approved, General Funston came to Manila and organized his expedition, selecting 78 Maccabebes, all of whom spoke Taga- log fluently. Twenty wore Insurgent uniforms and the others the dress of Filipino laborers. This Maccabebe company, armed with 50 Mausers, eight Remingtons and 10 Krag-Jorgensons, was commanded by Captain Russell T. Hazzard of the Eleventh United States volunteer cavalary. With him was his brother, both boys from Tacoma, Washington, of the same regiment. Captain Harry W. Newton, Thirty-fourth Infantry, because of his familiarity with Sasiguau bay, and Lieutenant Burton J. Mitchell, Fortieth infantry, went as General Funston's aides. These were the only Americans accompanying the leader of the expedition. With the Maccabebes were four ex-Insurgent officers, one being a Spaniard and the other three Tagalos, whom General Funston trusted implicitly. General Funston and the officers wore plain blue shirts and khawl trousers. Each carried a half blanket, but wore no Insignia of rank. The Maccabebes were carefully instructed to obey the orders of the four insurgent officers On the night of March 8 the pany embarked on the United States gunboat Vicksburg. It was originally intended to take cascoes from the Island of Polillo and drift to the mainland, but a Btorm arose and three of the cascoes were lost. This plan was abandoned. At 2 a. m. March 14 the Vicksburg put her lights out and ran in shore 25 miles south of Caslguran, province of Principle. The party landed and marched to Casiguran. The Americans had never garrisoned this place, and the inhabitants are strong insurgent sympathizers. Having arrived there, the ex-Insurgent officers, ostensibly commanding the party, announced that they were on the way to Join Aguinaldo; that they had surprised an American surveying party and that they had killed a number, capturing flve. They exhibited General Funston and the other Americans as their prisoners. The Insurgent presidente of Caslguran believed the story. Two of the Lacuna letter?, previously concocted, were forwarded to Aguinaldo at Palanan, province of Isabella. General Funston and the others were k."pt Imprisoned for three days, surreptitiously giving orders at night. On the morning of March 17, taking a small quantity of cracked corn, the party started on a 90-mlle march to Palanan. The country ls rough and uninhabited/and. provisions could not be secured. Tho party ate small shellfish, hut were almost starved. Wading swift rlvei'B, climbing precipitous mountains nnd dense jungles, they marched seven days and nights, and on March 22 had reached a point eight miles from Palanan. They were now so weak that It was necessary to send to Agulnaldo's camp for food. Aguinaldo dispatched supplies and directed that the American prisoners be kindly treated but not allowed to enter the town. On the morning of March 23 the advance was resumed. The column was met by the staff officers-of Aguinaldo and a detachment of Agulnaldo's bodyguard, which was expected to take charge of the Americans. While one of the ex-insurgent officers conversed with Agulnaldo's aide, another, a Span- lard, sent a courier to warn General Funston and the rest, who, with 11 Maccabebes, was about an hour behind. Having recelvedi, this warning General Punfcton avoided Agulnaldo's detachment and joined the column, avoiding observation. The Tagalos went ahead to greet Aguinaldo, and the column slowly followed, arriving finally at Palanan. Agiilnn.ldo'8 household troopR, 50 men, In neat uniforms of blue and white and wearing straw hats, lined up in receive the newcomers. Gonoral Funston h men crossed the river In small boats, formed on tho bank and marched to the right and then In front, of the Insurgent grenadiers. The Tagalos entered the house where Aguinaldo was. Suddenly the Spanish offleer, noticing that Aguinaldo s aide wbb watching the Americans suspiciously, exclaimed: '•Now, Maccabebes, .go for them." The Maccabebes opened fire, but their aim wns rather ineffective and only three Insurgents were killed. The rebels returned the fire. On hearing the firing Aguinaldo, who evidently thought his men were merely celebrating the arrival of reinforcements, ran to the window and shouted: "Stop that foolishness; quit wasting ammunition." Hilarlo Placido, one of the Tagalo officers and a former insurgent major, who was wounded in the lung by the fire of the Kansas regiment at tho bat- I tie of Calooean, threw his arms around I Aguinaldo, exclaiming: "You are a prisoner of the Americans." j Colonel Simeon Villia, Agulnaldo's i chief of staff, Major Alambra and oth- 1 ers attacked the men who were holding i Aguinaldo. Placido shot Villia ln thc ; shoulder. Alambra jumped out of the '■ window and attempted to cross tho [ river. It Is supposed that he was ; drowned. Five other insurgent officers I fought for a few minutes and then Hod, i making their escape. I When the firing began General Fun- I ston assumed command and directed I the attack on the house, personally as- ; sisting in the capture of Aguinaldo. The Insurgent bodyguard fled, having ; 20 rifles. Santiago Barcelona, the ln- 1 surgent treasurer, surrendered wlth- j out resistance. When captured Aguinaldo was tre- ; mendously excited, but he calmed ; down under General Funston's assur- ' ance that he would be well treated. General Funston secured all of Agulnaldo's correspondence, showing that he had kept in close touch with the sub- chiefs of the Insurrection ln all parts of the archipelago. It was also discovered that Aguinaldo, January 28, had proclaimed himself dictator. He had been living at Palanan for seven months undisturbed except when a detachment of the Sixteenth Infantry visited the town. On that occasion the entire population took to the mountains and remained there until the troops retired. Aguinaldo admitted that he had come near to being captured before, but he asserted that he had never been wounded, adding: "I should never had been taken except by strategy. I was completely deceived by Lacuna's forged signature." He feared he might be sent to Guam, and he was quite glad to come to Manila. Palanan "wds guarded by numerous outposts and signal stations. During' the flght none of the Maccabebes was wounded. The expedition rested March 24. and then marched 16 miles the following day to Palanan bay, where General Funston found the Vicksburg, which brought him to Manila. Commander Parry of the Vicksburg rendered General Funston splendid assistance. Aguinaldo. who talked freely of past events, said he supposed General Trias would proclaim himself dictator, even not knowing that Trias had surrendered. He behaved courteously and gave no trouble. General Funston says Aguinaldo li above the average in intelligence and hns prepossessing manners. OUR NORTHWESTERN JUNES. U \SlllM_TOV Davenport is to soon have electric lights and power.

A strike of unusually good ore Is reported from thu Iron King, hulf a mile north of Holster. No little Interest centers In the report that the Poland China, than which there is no better or more favorably spoken of property in the camp, will resume operations at uii early date. Undiminished work continues on the Monterey Hold Mining company's prop ertles on Copper Mountain. The tunnel Is In about 500 feet and the indications are that the ledge of cluilcopyrilo ore for which the drift is being ruu will' soon bo reached. Everything points toward a good year in mining in the Myers creek district. As the snow begins to leave the mountains there has been considerable movement toward the prosepcts and chances for the assessment work being done early this year seems particularly good. Some little activity in the transfers of property and bright prospects for development on some of the best properties are apparent. Peter McCormick came in from Sheridan camp the first of last week. He brought with him sacks of ore that were taken from his Phil Sheridan claim. He had flve samples assayed, with the following result: No. 1, $134.60; No. 2, $287.50; No. 3, $455.34; No. 4, $157.44. The fifth sample was taken from a section of the footwall and showed a total value of $5.SO. The ore is a combination of silver, gold and copper. While silver is the predominant metal the others were no mean factors In the total values. According to the assay certificate the gold values ranged from $13 to 41 per ton, while the coppper values were from $1.75 to $17 per ton. BRITISH COLOMBIA, The Golden Monarch mine, near Ymlr, Is to be a shipper this summer. Work of enlarging the Granby smelter at Grand Forks will be commenced this week. At Ymir the Silver Crown Consolidated Mining company is resuming work on the Shiloh. The ore on the Aurora property near Moyie, on the west side of the lake, has been encountered. Work has been resumed on the nruce. This property, which Is situated close to Midway, has considerable work done on It already. Jack Aitchfson has secured a lease on the Sloean Chief, at the head of Ten Mile creek, and owned by the Warner Milller syndicate. Now that the blower has been Installed in the Iron Horse on Ten Mile, neur Slocan. more satisfactory progress is being made with development A strike of considerable importance wns made last week on the Blanche mining claim, one of the Mineral Hill group, adjoining tho surprise mine, nenr Nelson. Jay P. Graves is planning a big excursion of investors to come west to visit, the principal mining districts of nritlsh Columbia, and possibly Republic, In a body. An application for a water right was filed in the Slocan record office March 19 by the Enterprise (B. C.) Mines. Ltd. They seek to obtain 000 inches of water from Ten Mile creek, to be used for generating power. The Slocan creditors of Ihe Chapleau have received their checks for ",0 per cent of their claims against that property. In accordance with the agreement made two weeks ago. A number of unforeseen circumstances have hindered the commencement of shipments from the Tnmnrue. nt Ymlr. These difficulties have, however, been surmounted nnd shipments are to commence this wool.. The eompnny building a railroad to Kootenay lake has consented to acoepl the amendment, and build to the foot of the lake this season, and Ferguson nnd Its mines will forge ahead with celerity and renewed confidence. The Norway Mountain district promises to be the scone of much activity this summer. This section formR the northeast corner,of the Trail creek division and Is at present reached by a 86 miles trail from Rossland or by the Columbia & Western railway to Gladstone and thence by a four mile tralb The Ymlr mine, near Ymlr, Is planing to make an Immense proposition of the mining industry. Th^y are now planning an electric tramway from the mine to the town of Ymlr, a distance' of four miles. The tramway Is to be used for the hnullng of concent rnteftll and for transporting supplies and timber to the mine. The mine nlso expects this summer to Increase their mill from nn 80-st.imp to a 120 stamp mfll nnd mako other Improvements thnt will make the property much more valuable. per chare.

Ono of the largest mining proposl- tions In which Spokane men have | „ interested for some time Is the organl. zatinn of a eompnny with a capital nf $6,000,000 to operate in the Salmon rlv- er district. The boiler house and shaft house on the Blue Dragon, recently restaked as the Republic, near iClk city, Idaho,hai been destroyed by fire. Tho property Is under bond to the Etaperanza Mining company. At Wallace, Idaho, a report has been received from the Amador that the crosscut from the bottom of the shaft | had cut the ledge and four feet of ore had already been found without getting across the shoot. The flue claims of the King Gold & Copper Mining company, nine mlle9 west of Valley, Wash., are showing some remarkable vilnes that begin to prove far more than the original prom- lae of this excellent young copper pros- pec.. W. P. Wells of Moscow, Idaho, has a model of his gold saving machine, for which he hopes to take many orders among the miners on their way tft tho Klondike and Cape Nome. It saves $15,98 out. of $lfi In fine gold dust mixed with a yard of gravel and sand. At Trenton, N.

Guggenheim & Sons. Twenty tons nf ore from the Dewey that, is expected to net $10,000 is at Stites. Idaho, on the way«to the smelter,, according to Otto Abeling. the engineer for the Dewey Consolidated company. The assays from the shipment have run from $200 to |7.000 per ton. This brings the total output from the mine to 118 tons, which will nd the company fully $23,000. Tin' Dewey group is on the south fork oi the Clear water river, about six miles cast of Grangevllle. A smelter is to be Installed in the Seven Devils country. Idaho, and will be put In on the property ofthe Boston & Seven Devils Copper company, operating a group of mines on Indian crwk. The smelter Is to be built at Ilceorjih. Idaho, and will be for the purposenf milling tho Immense bodies of low Krndo ore In thnt. camp. Grout Interest Is now centering in this rich copper district. It has long been regarded a most promising objective point for a branch railway from some of the main lines pcn'tratlng the northwest. The Rebecca mjno at Nespellm. Wash., has resumed operations. The present force Is smnll. but lt Is the Intention of the management to Increase It In the near future.

The sail- room is a small compartment adjoining the magazine. The heat was intense, the smoke suffocating and the flames difficult to extinguish. Lieutenant. Commander Roper was the first to descend Into the hoid, but he was forced to return to the deck. Others then went down. Seaman Patrick Toner was prostrated and about to perish when Lieutenant Commander Roper endeavored to rescue him and was suffocated in the attempt. Lieutenant Joslah Stutts McKean and Cadet Lewis suffered severely In bringing the body of Lieutenant Commander Roper to the deck. Twenty-two of the crew were prostrated, Evans, Flaherty, Larsen, Kess- ler, Tony, Cahey, Burton, Smith, Sullivan and Forsboon seriously, but all will recover. The contents of the sailroom were destroyed, but the damage to the gunboat was slight,. The origin of the fire has not been ascertained. Possibly it, was a case of spontaneous combustion.. The death of Lieutenant Commander Roper Is greatly deplored. His body will be spent to the United States April 5 by the Buffalo. Mlie \\ im lliniHil to Dentil. Slocun City, 11.

By its well- earned merits It has attracted the attention of the greatest, and the busiest, and the wisest people. It la equally applicable to all ages, to both sexes, and to every climate. Nothing In the history of medicine has ever equalled Ue growth of this remarkable remedy. Catarrh has become a national disease. Peruna has become a national remedy.

Manila, April 1.—Interest in the capture and fate of Aguinaldo is well nigh overshadowed in Manila by sensational developments, present and prospective, of frauds in the commissary department. How widely these extend has uot yet been ascertained, but enough is already known to Justify the belief that they are fa/ reaching. Captain Frederick J. Barrows of the Thirtieth volunteer infantry, quartermaster of the department of southern , Luzon, together with several commis- j sary sergeants, several civilian clerks, a prominent government contractor, the assistant manager of the Hotel Orient, the proprietors of three of the largest bakeries in Manila, a number of storekeepers and other persons have been arrested. The Investigation has scarcely begun, but thousands of sacks of flour, a quantity of bncon and wagon loads of other gooos all bearing government marks have been found in the possession of unauthorized persons. It is alleged that the contractor ln person, who has been doing a business approximating $100,000 a month, has spent huge sums in entertaining officers. A prominent commissary officer is i accused of leading a scandalously Im- ■ moral life. It Is asserted that large quantities of stores have been lost or stolen In transit and also that there Is a shortage in the commissary depot. New scandals are developed daily. Illicit transactions have been traced back to June, 1900. and it is possible there are others of earlier date. Tue exorbitant tarilT on provisions makes the surreptitious sale of commissary supplies immensely profitable. It is understood that prominent officers of the United Stntes army may be arrested. Lieutenant P. K. Street of the Forty- sixth volunteer Infantry is prosecuting the investigation under direction of Colonel Wilbur, chief of police.

Of our shipping mines thero is not one which has not paid in royalties ou the ore shipped by it more than the Government has expended altogether. Tbe system under wh:ch our taxes are collected and expended is simply rotten ar.d it is no wonder that our mines, which are being bled to deathi are shutting down and that capital is being withdrawn from the Province for investment in Idaho ar.d Wash ington. Tbe stupidity or it-justice shown towards portions of our Province by this Department is such that all fair minded men are losing faith in British fair play. Instances can be cited where the Government has expended thousands of dollars building roads to boom property for political favorites and wasted on roads that were never us-d, while mines with ore to ship have bad to build their own roads or shut down, lu this district less than $1000 has been expended by the Government in roads and trails in the last three years and uot one foot ot new ro ul or trails has been built by it,. To ofFiet tins, our iniues, struggling with all kinds of restrictions and taxes, have tried to go uhead aud ship out their ores to the smelters, three of our mines during that time having built more roads than all the Government roads in the whole district, and when they haul their ores down over these the Government stands with outstretched hand asking for its royalties, as a tax upon the enterprise of these individuals. Tbis portion of the Province asks for no favors but simply for justice at the hands of the Government) which by its shortsighted policy appear to be striving to drive out what little capital we have here out of the country and make tho Blocan once more a quiet retreat for the Siwash.

Oeneral Kitchener's terms in regard to wages, which he attaches to his permission for resumption of work on certain of tho Rand mines, is meeting with considerable opposition on the part of the miners and mine-owners. As the foreign miners and mine-owners in that country were the principal cause that led to the war in South Africa it is no more than right that they should stand tbeir share of tlie grief. There is no use of their starting to whimper now for the mines will be made to pay a proportion of the expense incurred aud the miners m-iy look for a put in wages ta their share The Trade Budget iiifaUts that. we favor the exportation of local ores to American smelter* for treatment. Why we should favor such-a course and when we ever did so it does not say but it is news to us. Now, The Sn, - vkutonian does uo such thing, but because wb fail to see the benefit of an export duty on lead ores us our Coast friend sees it we are blamed for it just the ssme. Tbe Trade Budget seems to think that if more lead stacks were in operation iu the Province the load of the lead miner would be lessened. This shows that the Trade Budget is not familiar with its subject, as its surges tion of a smelter for Silverton led us to suspect once before. The editor munt know that the pro lucts of our smnkers must go to the Uuited States' refineries before being marketed, and as long as this is thu case, Canadian smelter can only give the American rate. At the present time the situation is; the local smelteN cannot handle our ore, the American smelters will not. What are we to do? "Put on an export duty,'' shouts the Trade Budget, forgetting that it is because we cannot export we are in our present dilemma. The true solution is in the establishment of a refinery to handle the bullion, Then the smelters can do business without depending upon foreign refineries. Even in that case we doubt the expediency of an export duty a* long a« tho Government was bonuain ■ the refinery and tho United States was charging an import duty on lead. Surely that would be protection enough. A protected industry always tskes advantage up to the limit and the protection shiulil not be overd ine The worst feature of the export duty talk at present is its effect on capital Capital is already timid of the Slocan and nny further experimental legislation or a discussion of it will increase the alarm.
