Another Accident at the Nickle Plate Mine in Hedley Camp—In the Justice Court—Rock Creek Placer Workings. /' A report comes up, Thursday, from Twenty Mile that - another accident had occurred at the Nickle Plate mine, similar in character to the one which happened a few weeks ago.

In the Justice Court. A case of obtaining money unl pretences was tried before Ji man, Thomas apil IVfnrph . day, in which J. Bromley w^ the defendant. It was clai tion that the defendant had obtained money from the government while fore man on the Keremeos-Pnnceton road, by signing the name ofamaa^|a_the pay roll who had never-worked on the road. After some very damaging evidence given the prisoner was bound over in sum of Jiooo to appear at the ass which will be held- in Kamloops next Rock Creek Placer Cote-frany. Several shareholders in the Rock Creek Consolidated Placer Mining company visited the company's placer claims, five miles up the creek from the Rock Creek townsite, last Tuesday. Leaving Greenwood at 4 a. m., the party reached its destination shortly after 9 o'clock. It was found that the dam was well forward towards completion, with the gate finished and the waste flume now being constructed. Booming operations will not be commenced until about a fortnight hence, by which time all the ice should be out of the narrow canyon, through which the creek flows a little below the dam, and other obstacles to a clear run for the rush of water and gravel shall have been removed. Several pans of wash, taken ! from just below the dam by members of the visiting party, each gave excellent prospects in rough gold, so that sanguine expectations of future good returns were encouraged.—Greenwood Miner.

They say that while the whole of the boundary district seems to be brightening up, Phoenix is the banner oity of them all.

Anyone desiring to hi their samples displayed at this important institution can leave them at this office, with a complete description of the claims, assays, etc. If no reports hai been obtained, assays will be made at tl School of Mines.

New Westminster, April 18—The city was cast into a state of consternation yesterday afternoon by the 'startling news that the steamer Ramona, Capt. Seymour one of the passenger boats plying between this city and Chilliwack, had suf- ferred an explosion of her boiler, and that several people had been killed. The explosion occurred about 1.30 p. m. near Fort Langley, on her upward trip, and for some hours it was not possible to as- No one was killed by the steam itself, but nine were frightfully scalded.

(No local application, please—there are no frogs in the river.) " How is this?" they exclaimed, " but a short time ago we were happy and contented, all our surroundings conjugal ]to health and growth. Now what change. We are submerged by an e men t. though of value in its way, yet pugnant to our taste, and fatal to frog life. We may not escape, but we will not give up without a kick." So all con menced to kick. One after another gre' tired, their kicks grew faint, and one b one they sank to the bottom, dead. Br one would not give np until he had given "just one more kick,", and it was that effort that was needed. He floated out on a piece of butter. Moral—for the prospector, mine owner, mine worker, business man and artisan in the Similkameen, keep a'kicking. This is butter-making I doff my hat to the earnest souls Kansas City, who, in the sacred name pure and undefiled womanhood, object to female figures in advertising. Keep it up, ■ ladies. Do not stop with the grinning disgrace to her sex whose rounded calves flash upon us from the billboards. Be not content with suppressing the generous revelations of the music hall circe. Make the unabashed Phryne of the magazines wear a sealskin jacket between her corset and her satin halftone bosom. No, no, unterrified champions of an unpointed household ; don't stop here. Demand, no less upon esthetic than upon moral grounds, the abolition of the woman who gives testimonials to makers of patent medicines. You know her, my pure-minded friends. Her cross-hatched features seem indeed to be hewn from old cheese. Her hair has the sinuous seductiveness of telephone wire, and her gown is a crime against good dressmaking. She usually says that seventy- six bottles of Dr. Foolfleecer's dandelion distillation made her " feel like another woman.!' Also, that no mortal skill could make her look' like one ! Alas, also for the conscientiousness of the artist, who would not soften a single line of ugliness. The patent medicine woman frequently remarks that she has "been snatched from the arms of death." I have ho doubt that the king of terrors gave her up resignedly, not to say cheerfully. Let us get rid of this dreadful creature, ladies, and we shall not mourn ' if the Aphrodite in sanitary underclothes continues to entice us in our own favorite magazines.—Lue Vernon, in the Vancouver Independent.
