The need of good roads and trails become more apparent every day. There is scarcely a road in this district which in eastern Canada would be tolerated. Here in British Columbia, however, the people are patient and long suffering, and have put up with bad roads and trails for many years, but now they are demanding better facilities for reaching the mining sections, and the public highways be improved. It is certain that the demands will be attended to in the near future, and that money will be more equally distributed than in the past.—Fort Steele Prospector.

"Just doing assessment work will keep a camp poor forever."

The minister of | mines replied that it was the intention of the government to rigidly enforce the law, and that any such officer so interested would be dismissed forthwith. This is as it should be, as grave mischief is wrought by these officers holding such interests.

It is stated that a school of pupils, has been Ros sby fron: subscriptions and grants Bri America—corporation, whilst a private teacher conducts a successful assaying class in the city. It is finally shown thai the Scranton International School foi Technical Instruction by Correspondence Ms on its b. <:s, 65 Rossland pupils in Hning and electricity. Probably Nelson would be t . : only serious competitor with Rossland for the establishment of Kootenay school of mines, and ■ it re mains to be seen what, if any, case is t be set up for that city. Kootenay's re jRjsentatives in the provincial legislatur are at any rate fairly certain to press fo the early grant for government aid tc Mfds the giving of technical institu j tion in mining, at some point or points in-the Kootenay country. The contemplated^?ail smelter extension is understood to be mainly due to i^Bacquisition of an interest in the smelter ,by the British America corporation jHJtalists, and their intention to ship to it in future large quantities of ore from the various Rossland mines in which they are more or less closely connected. The Boundary ore at present shipped to Trail, it seems, only keeps one of the furnaces going, and the Slocan ore re- ceipts will be met by the building of two more lead stacks. Another furnace will be fully utilized by the receipt of 150 tons Hire per day from the Le Roi. The ther present furnaces will supply the eprly needs of the Iron Mask, Centre Star and War Eagle. Hence, it is clear that an enlargement of the Trail smelter is under contemplation mainly to meet the expected large early shipments from the coming new Rossland producers the Le Roi No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 groups respectively, the North port smelter being unable to meet their needs. Meanwhile, however, the exact extent of the Trail smelter enlargement is seemingly not decided, though it is gent nlly expected that the extension will double the works' present capacity. As Others See Us. The travelling correspondent of thi Kamloops Sentinel noted a few of thi urgent needs of Princeton and district ii his recent .trip to this section. His re port to his paper says: Business is rathe quiet, owing to most of the prospector and miners being away developing thei various claims. The Sunset, and Lost Horse on Coppermountain are i.i act operation. The Sunset has many hi dred tons of rich ore on the dnmp ready for shipment. Mr Geo. McCoskery has a free milling property, the gold b easily seen in the quartz. This property is situated at One-Mile creek.

An- ather pause, and then : "What a strange by-path out of a besieged city," said Stevens; and added later, "Send for a bottle of champagne." Maud sent, though he knew that a case of whiskey had just fetched ^145 at a guinea raffle, and poured out a glass for each of them. Stevens drank: Maud, overcome, sat before his glass. "Buck up, man, buck up; drink," said Stevens, and he remained so bright that Maud began to doubt the doctor's verdict and countermanded the telegrams. At 4:30 p. m. he was "still cheerful. At 6, dead. They buried him at midnight, for the Boers shelled the cemetery during the day, thinking they saw entrenchments be ng dug; and dark and rainy as the night proved, the Boer searchlights were on them as they laid him in the ground.— . Durban correspondent of the London Outlook. #- 5£- C One of the most toucMng incidents of ithe war in Africa occurred this week, when Captain. Towse received the fii Victoria Cross bestowed by the Queen for valor in the veldt Gapt. Towse i earned the distinction by attempting to carry off Col. Downman, who had been wounded, under a hail of bullets, was unable to do so, and lay beside him and kept off the Boers all night till help came. By that time Col. Downman dead. Capt. Towse was blinded in both eyes by a bullet wound. On Wednesday Captain Towse was taken to Windsor led into the royal presence by his wife, where he knelt at the feet of his sovereign, who was so much overcome at the sight of the blind hero that her aged hands could scarcely pin on the 1 prized of all British decorations. The Queen's few words of simple praise ofj his gallantry and thanks for his devot o were spoken so low as to be almost it audible, and when Queen Victoria wa led out there was scarcely a dry ey among the officials present. The Marquis of Lansdowne, minister of war, referring in the House of Lords to Roberts's telegram announcing the death of two young Canadians, Lieuts. Borden and Birch, in defending the British position in an engagement on July 16th, paid a glowing tribute to the Canadian volunteers, saying: "When we think who writes that telegram and with what feeliugs he must have written it, I think we may say no more touching tribute could be paid to the memory of the brave young representatives of- colonial forces."
