Trealnu*nt of the Us aa Is u fl resit Success -Saving ur 85 per sen! or the Values le Aseursssl- Prof. Parke' Frocess Is to be Pateated at Ouee. That tho Arlington reduction works for the treatment of their low grade ores sirs •*, certainty, may bo judged from the words uttered in Spokane this week by J. Frank Collom, the managing director. The new treatment, as designed by Prof. Parks, is a modification of tha Pelatin-Clerici system, with the assistance of electricity, and is so successful as to warrant the movers in tho idea in having the process patented. Mr. Collom said: "For some time we have had a small plant capable of handling alxiut 2-J tons a day on a pinch, in tho barn at the Fairwoather house, in Browne's addition. Things have reached such a stage that wo expect to secure larger and more permanent quarters. Our tests have been made with a complete unit, and the larger plant which we will orect at tho mine, with a capacity of 50 tons a day, will be merely an aggregation of these units. We feel, therefore, that with tho success attending our experiments here there is no doubt of the success of thc plant. "I do not care to say what the results have beeu, except to say that we have saved U5 per cent of the silver values in Arlington ore—an unheard of thing in milling ores. Wo have saved 97 per cent iu the gold values. I expect we shall effect a saving of from Sii to $7 per t'jn under tho present cost of treating our ores. Wc shall also handle custom ores that inav offer. Wo expect to get our mill buildings under cover this season, and shall have the machinery in shape to commence operations next spring." Alive to r.sl.l.i' li.terests. Last Thursday business circles rostra much agitaUd over numerous local men having to go to Nelson for supplies to t*ke luto their claims on upper Lemon ci*e«k. owing to several bridges having lieeu washed out along the trail, so preventing theni going in from here. Orders given here had to bo cancelled. The result was that a telegram was sent to R. F. Green, M. P.P., at Victoria, asking that the government replace the bridges at once, in the intoi-est of Sloean. The telegram was signed on be-half of Iho board of trade, the city council and the Conservative Association. That evening a reply was received stating that Uoad Inspector Me-orc had lx*en instructed to make the repairs at once, much to the satisfaction of the townspeople. This prompt nction shows the new government to be fully alive to the interests of the public. Slocan, Fred Johnson; Hicks, H. A. Hicks; Madden, A. Madden; Victoria, A.

Thomlinson, who has been in Spokane for several months past assisting Prof. Parks in his experiment* on tho ore from the Arlington mine, returned on Friday,aud is now spending a vacation at New Denver. He announced that the experiments on the ore were practically concluded and he is hopeful of the complete success of the treatment. When officially announced as a success, the now system of treatment will enable profits to be won from very low grade ores, of which the Arlington and Speculator, and tho camp in general, hold unlimited quantities. .So soon as Prof. Parks demonstrates the feasibility of his treatment to the public, he would be able to command Immenao capital to invest iu the dry ores of the Slocan, and tha future of this camp was undoubted and sure. Mr. Thomlinson hail no hesitation in expressing his belief that the Arlington mill would be built, but when construction would commence he was not in a position to state. At present he is not connected with the Arlington but he may return here in n month or so to again assume charge of affairs at tho Speculator. coast steamship service, with office at Victoria.

They stared at each other with equal Intensity. "Can you be square?" said Blalr as If he were consul ting an oracle and not the man at whom he was looking. "Is there nny way to make you ? I believe there Is. And you've got the money too." "I've always got plenty of money for a good thing." said Neale. "Now, Speak up. Did Alden tell Maclane?" Blalr shook off the hand upon hla shoulder by the exercise of gnat agility, and then he strode across thc room lo n desk, from which he took a small blankbook and u stylograph!? pon. He Opened tho book upon the table nnd wrote h!s name on the first page, wilh a word or two nfter lt; then he looked nt Neale, holding the pen toward him. Tlie captain nodded, and bo also wrote in tho book, t'pon the page tlierc then appeared tbls: Annan G.mnaiN Pi.aib, I _ . „ , __ J.sKra Hsau, f El'u" r"r,ner«* "My friend," s.ild the captain, "you ask mo If I can be square. Well, there ain't nobody that can be squaror than what 1 can. nnd you'll find that out If you stick to me and don't try to get funny nor play no tricks." If Blnir's acquaintance with Nenle had been more Ultimate, he would have recognized sincerity ln this redundancy of negatives. The reporters who have followed Neale's career assert that he once put seven Into one short sentence while engaged ln denouncing a certain well known reformer. As a rule, however, his language was not grossly inaccurate. In this Instance It was the ring of tlie words that appealed to Blalr. Ho took up the book and wrote upon the page that bore tbe names, his petition being sucb that tbo captain could uot seo what was set down. "Now, my esteemed business associate," said Bluir, laying down -the book, "tbls Ib the English of thc matter—Alden hns told Maclane where he was that afternoon und Maclane bas told mc. I didn't go up there to get tbe secret; I went for a little cold money. Circumstances had made it agreeable to me to put Miss Maclane out of this ease, and as I was going to do lt anyhow it occurred to nie that I might ns well be paid for It" "It's a pleasure to be In business with a man like you," said Neale, with a grin. "How much wns the touch?" "Only $2,000," replied Blalr. "It is a loan. I told him a pitiful story of misfortune and mentioned that 1 was being bounded by the police. Well, he's bad a little of that himself, ne sympathized witb me, and when I said I wanted to move, take a better otlice and all that be very kin.ily consented to help me out.

"Precisely," was the reply. "Such being the case, I could not become a third partner. In brief, I wouldn't give out that lnts'i'vlew which you saw In the papers this morning until I was sure Alden was Innocent." "Clever rascal!" said Neale. "it was a sudsieu Inspiration with me, I'll admit," responded lilulr, "but It worked. Of course I was a long while getting at the facts, for nt first he wanted mo to tnke his word, which 1 gently but firmly declined to do. Then, In the strictest confidence, he told me what I'm going to tell you now. "This Is a big thing," bo continued, bis face suddenly growing pale "I'm afraid you can't raise tbe money to swing It, for It cnn't be done without money. That's why I'm laying myself open to you.

It's pout'lug money into this ileal that bus I put his own business where It ls. He { must wiu uow or go to total ruin." "Well, what's going to stop hlm?" demanded Neale eagerly. "Where do I wp couie lu?" "He's rounded them all up except the Holbein Manufacturing company of Newark," said Blnlr. "Without that company in, the thing breaks and Alden goes to smash. But on the day j when be sent that note to Miss Miller, ! on the day wheu she was stabbed, Al- j den got a verbal agreement witb tbe . president of tbe Holbein company ! which practically clinched the thing.

"Nonsense! You know where the money went, and you know who committed this crime." "Perhaps 1 da" responded Neale, with a grin; "but, at any rate, please remember that I have acted ln your interests throughout." Blair took him by tbe topmost button of his sack coat. "In the interests of Joseph Neale," be said. "My Interests and those of justice haven't bothered you much. Why, this case reminds 1110 of the old college football games 20 years "go.

SOARING the time wben Dr. Blalr and Captain Neale were concluding their small matter of business Detective Elmendorf was waiting In Alden's office, having reason to believe thnt he would make a flying visit thcro during the forenoon. This expectation wns realized, for Alden entered hurriedly about 11 o'clock. He greeted Elmendorf In very friendly fashion, the detective meanwhile ns- sumlng a somewhat apologetic air. "I hate to bother you," he said, "nbout my troubles wben you certainly bavo plenty of your own, but there ls a llt- He examined tlie break in the chair. tie matter, not connected with this case nt all, that you can help me about If you feel like it—at least I think you can."

And as he spoke the last words his hand, that had been resting upon the back of a chair, closed with n sudden, convulsive movement Rnd ripped oue Of the wooden rungs out of Its fastenings. Elmendorf slowly crossed the r.-,ora nnd examined the brenk In the chair. "if you got br.id of the gentleman Id ouestlon," said he, "I think he would never come to trial. By the way, I em pleased to learn that Miss Millet Is doing well this morning."

"I bells've I did," replied Alden. "They failed nnd skipped." "Have you any documents bearing the linn's Signature by either partner?" asked Elmendorf. "Yes; I have one," snld Alden, "but 1 don't know Just where It Is. I'll look through my desk. .lohn"—addressing Robinson, who sat In bis usual place— "do you know where that contract Is?" Robinson replied In the negative, nnd Alden polled out the contents of some drawers nnd pigeonholes In n vniu search, Finally he enme to one link" drawer which Mr. Elmendorf hnd once onened. "Hero's tho contract," ho said, "and- Hello, hero's something of yours, John." And he tossed nn envcIoDP across to Robinson's desk. Robinson glanced nt It hastily and put It Into bis pocket.

".lack," said Alden, "will you ask Mr. Wlllett to come In here?" Wlllett was thc firm's accountant. Robinson walked toward the door, and as he did so Elmendorf half rose from bis chair and then sat down again. The accountant presently appeared. He received some memoranda from Alden and went out again. There was an interval of silence, while Elmendorf devoted himself to the enjoyment of a largo cigar afid Alden Jotted down figures on a allp of paper. "Wonder what's become of Robin- con," said Alden at Inst. The detective offered no opinion ' upon tbla point, and Alden stepped to the door and glanced Into tbe large room. Elmendorf heard some one say lo response to a question that Robinson had gone out Alden seemed annoyed as he returned to his desk, whero he hastily wrote a note to Robinson. "Now," be said, "I'm going op town." "fit. Winifred's?" queried Blmendorf. 1 "I sball call there about 1 o'clock." "If you'll go over to the Astor House with me," said Elmendorf, "and wait about three minutes while I transact 1 a little business, I'll go up wltb you, and we can talk on the way. Tbere are a few questions that I'd like to ask after I've straightened tbem out In my own mind a bit." I Alden saw no objoctton to this ar- j rangement, aud so tbey walked over to the old hotel together. Elmendorf glanced nt bis watch as they entered and then npproached tbe attendant lu 1 charge of the telephone booths ln tbe hall. "There will be a call for Mr. Blmendorf from Philadelphia in about a ; minute," he said. "I am the man." The call came wlthi-a the Interval stated, and Elmeudorf entered the booth, where he gave the customary greeting, which waa returned ln a familiar voice. "I've got track of your man over bere," sal* the voice. "B. appears to be his real name; didn't suppose It wag. He was In trouble over bere a little more tban a year ago and had to get out of town; borrowed some money on bogus security." And the voice furnished a few details of tbo { transaction. "He bas been trying to straighten It out lately and Is not in danger of arrest bere; has been over several timos. There are rumors that he got Into similar trouble In Washington, but I'm not down to tbat yet One man wbo knows hiai bere thinks he bnd letters from a girl named Miller; doesn't know whether she was on the stage or anything about her, ln fnct; Isn't even sure of tbe name, but I'm going to get more Information nbout that. As to otber Inquiries, nothing as yet but will write you thla evening." "All right." responded Elmendorf. "Hustle, old man. This thing Is getting pretty ripe over here. And, remember, this is personal business; lt Isn't official. I may want to cover the whole matter up." "Tbe man is no good, I guess," said the voice. "I don't care anything about the man," rejoined Blmendorf, "or the other one either. It's the girl I'm Interested ln. Nothing Is too good for ber or ever waa, and If thc worst cornea I want to be In a position to wring somebody's neck end wring lt hard. I don't know whose It will bo yet How about the records?" "Nothing la sight" "Well, tbere must Im somewhere. Mr. Tantalus has got to be accounted for. Much obliged to yon. Goodby." Elmendorf rejoined Alden. who ln the meantime had engaged a hansom. "Your secretary, Robinson, seems to be a bandy man," said Elmendorf after some desultory conversation. "He's very obliging," replied Alden. "Perfectly honest I supposo?" "Never knew anything to the contrary," said Alden. "He doesn't handle any money." "He handled (WOO the other day," suggested Elmendorf. "But he didn't know It" replied Alden. "I don't mean to Imply anything against Robinson, but I know very little about him, and I never trust a man any further than I know him. I never trust a man with money unless I know the money side of him. It Is possible to be a good, straight fellow about everything elso and have a weakness there." "I Shook think you ought to be a pretty good business man," said Elmendorf. "I suffer from the name troublo that you have," replied Alden; "I'm too honest." Ico-ttini-ed.] A Hs-llg-lon Thnt r.rurr.. The idea that Mohammedanism Is "plnyed out" would be a dangerous one for statesmen to bank upon. It Isn't. Mohammed began his career as a prophet moro than (JOO years Inter than the beginning of the Christian era. At present he has 176,000,000 disciples, more than one-third ns many ns thero are Christians ln the world. Nine hundred years ngo there were in India no MohammedanB. Now there are 50,000,000, and they arc Increasing in number constantly. Tbey are hy all odds tho most energetic subjects ln British India. The western wave of Mohammedanism rolled up to the farthest comer of Spain, up to the wnlls of Vienna, and then began to recede, but the shrinking process wns accompanied by expansion elsewhere. In Africa Mohammedanism ls Btendily proselyting. Russia In Europe has 3,000,1)00 followers of the prophet, more than there nre In whnt is colled "Turki'y In Europe," Asia, however, the realm of future growth, ls the Mohammedan stronghold.

Tlss Ki'd Man UBS is fCseil Eve for the j Beautiful lis Nut urn—The Happy iiiini la^ si rounds. It ia dawn when tbo Inrliun trap- per loaves his lodge, in midwinter oi i tke far north dawn comes* late. Stars, which shine With a hard, j clear, crystal radianco only seen in i northern skies, pale in the grny j morning gloom; and tlie sun coinos ! over tho horizon dim through mists of frost smoko. In an hour tho frost mist, lying thick to the touch, liko clouds of steam, will have chared, and there will bo nothing from sky lino to sky lino but blinding nun- light and snow-glare. The Indian trapper must bo far afield beforo midday. Then tho sun casts no man-shadow to scare gnmo from his snares. Black is tho flag of betrayal in northern miuvinler. It is by tne big .liquid eye, glistening on the snow like a black marble, I that the trapper detects tho while | hare; and a Jot tall-tip streaking ov- I er the white Wastes in dots und | dashes tolls him tho little ermine, whOse coat must line Some emperor's Coronation robe, is alternately scud- I ding over tlie sliifln unsl diving be- low thn snow with the forward wrlg- gllng ol a snake under uovor. Dut ! the moving man-shadow Is bigger and plainer on the snow than tlie j hare's eye or tho oi mine's jet lip; so the Indian trapper sots out In tho j gray darkness of morning and musi reach his hunting grounds before' high noon, I With long snow-shoos, thai carry him over the drift*!

Tho Old musket, which he got in trade from the fur post., is over bis shoulder, I or swinging lightly in one hand. A I hunter's knife and short-ln-indlcd ■ woodman's axe hung through the beaded scarf, belting In ills loose, ! caribou capote. Powdor-horn and j heavy muskrat gauntlets arc attached to the cord about his m*ck; bo Without losing either he can light i baiv-hsuided, froe und in motion, at | m moment's notice. And somewhere, j in side pockets or bunging down iiis buck, is his skipei lugnn—a skin bag with amulet against evil, matches, touchwood, and a scrap of peintni- can. As he grows hot, ho throws back his hood, running bareheaded and loose about the chest. laach breath clouds to frost against I his fuce till hair and brows nnd ; lashes are (ringed with fro/en moisture. The whit'j mnn would hugger his face up with scarf r.nd collar the more for this, but tho Indian knows better. Suddenly chilled breath wouUl soak scai f and collar wet to his skin; and his fuCO would bo frnz- on before he could go five paces; Bnt with dry skin anil quickened blood hn can defy tbe keenest cold; so he loosens his coat and runs the faster. As the light grows, dim forms shape themselves in the gray haze. ConA's nmi domes and cornices of snow heap tha* underbrush and spreading larch bows. Evergreens aro edged With while. Naked ttvi'S stand liko limm-d statuary with an ontlored crest etched against the white glare. The snow stretches away in a sea of billowed, white drifts that seem to hsuve and full to the motion of the runner, mounting and coasting and swimming over tho unbroken waste like a bird winging the ocoan. And against this endless stretch of drifts billowing nway to a boundless circle, of which tbe man is tlie centre, his form is dwarfed out of all proportion, till he looks no larger than a bird r.bove the sea. When the sun rises, strange color elT-ots are caused by the frost haze. Every shrub takaS ttt~ for the ice drops arc a prism, nnsi the result is the same as if there bud been a Star shower or rainfall of brilliants. Does the Indian trapper seo all this? The white man, with while man arrogance, doubts whether his tawny brother of the wilds sei'S the beauty about bim, because tho Indian bus no white man's terms of expression. Dut usk the bronzed trapper tho time of duy, nnd he tolls you by the length of shadow the sun casts, or the degree of light on ihe snow.

Capital's side of industrial disputes will not be hurt much by the lalxir commission uow sitting in British Columbia. The Grits are doing a groat deal of talking just now and proudly assert they will sweep the province at the coming elections. It's a wise mau who saves his ammunition till the fight is on. It has been decided to dissolve the legislature nest Tuesday, the 16th inst. This will make the elections c jine off at the end of September or the beginning of October. Get your houses in order. If it were possible a thick veil should be drawn over the prciceedings of the last session of the legislature, never to be disturbed. It would hide from the g.ize of future generations a ghastly array of intrigue, corruption aud dishonored reputations. a The royal commission appointed to inquire into the Gamey charges against the Ontario government has reported, completely exonerating the Liberal leaders from any wrongdoing. The whitewash was a foregone conclusion from the outset, and no wonder the accused rested easy. Royal commissions come iu handy. After all the estimates and supple- mental ies have been passed, together with sundry private bills.and the house dissolved. This milling division will now get some attention paid to its dire wants and liixr-sssities of two years' standiug. In two days liefore closing the legislature did more business than . in all the other portion of the sessiou. F. J. Fulton has been dropped from the cabinet slate, the ministers as sworn in being: McBride. premier and lands and works; Tat low, finance; Green, mines, education and provincial secretary; McPhillips, attorney- general ; Wilson,president of the council. As uow constituted, the cabinet is consider-*! exceptionally strong and a sure winner. By an act of overt treachery to their own party, certain Grit manipulator** - in Victoria made it possible for the reins of power to be thrust into the hands of the Tories. Thc Grits now seek to cover up the contemptible scheming of their own hacks by anathematizing the Tories for seizing the advantages pli«-ed withiu their reach. -Tories generally know a good thing when thev see it. Victoria is dying hard.struggling to tho last for a vestige of power to be granted some memlier of the old fam ily compact. But it ennnot be, for the days of coalition monstrosities are happily traded in British Columbia. Private gain and corporate graft have ceased, and the era of intelligent and responsible government arrived. With party line politics individuality is lost 'sight of, inasmuch as the party must be responsible to the people for the actions of its members. That is as it should be. DRILL POINTS. Joe Chr-w return-id to Vancouver on Friday. A very serious hay famine exists iu the city. A. W. Allen is Kaslo's new police magistrate. Sandon was almost wiped out by a flood last week.

The sum of $14,000 bus been passed in the estimates for repairs to road** and trails for the Slocan riding. Charley Co'ik, of New Denver, was marrised ia Kevelstoke last week to Miss C. E. Chandlers, of Detroit. A majority of the shingle mills of the province havo shut down for a month, owing to over-production. There is a strong probability of another lumbering outfit coming in to operate on Slcscnn lake. The mill tug got tangled up in some driftwood here Saturday and got her propeller off. Damages were repaired. The shingle mill has lxien shut down for a couple of days, to permit of some needed carpenter work lieing done. Aid. Worden went to Rossland on Monday, taking with him his four heavy horses, which he disposed of in that city. R.

Slocan could supply quite a bunch. The Sandon has liecn kept in com- i mission lowing logs for the mill and ' relieviug the freight blockade caused | by the washouts. J. V.

The "Wise Woman'' troupe enme in Saturday and spent Sunday here, lieing unable to make Sandon owing to tho washout on the Nakusp road. A meeting of the Mining Association was held on Saturday night and a committee appointed to size up the repairs required on the Lemon creek trail. Next Sunday is decoration day with the Oddfellows, aud the local lodge pui*poses marching to the cemetery to decorate the graves of the departed brethren. The baud will lead the procession. . No mail train arrived in last week from Tuesday till Friday. Mail and passengers were transferred between here and Lemon creek by hand car. facetiously dubbed the Lemon Crock Limited.

Th-** boom placed across the bend of j the river by thc mill people broke away Monday evening by the weight j of driftwood pressing against it.

Deceased had lieen ailing for a year past aud had been in different places in search of health. He had run a tailor shop in this place for three years, besides one at Sandon, and a host of friends will learn of his death with sorrow. ■MINING RKCOnDS.

MacKAY Slater Shoo Advertising Wearer's Satisfaction Short talks by the Slater Shoe sd man. No. 4; —Because the "Slater Shoe" is vldely advertised; 'because a hundred thousand dollars has been spent in making it known, 'the makers could not afford to risk the entire loss of this expensive reputation by turning out shoes which do not in every particular back up the makers' advertised claims. So that the wearer secures through " Slater Shoe " advertising assurance that the shoe is not skimped in the hidden parts, that wear-worthy materials are used throughout, that the shoe must give entire satisfaction, 'because an advertised shoe which does not satisfy, is subject to ten times as much criticism as a shoe whicn merely wears but does not make distinctive claims of superiority, such as those made for the " Slater Shoe." And this large advertising expenditure, besides forcing the makers to maintain the quality ofthe"SlaterShoe,"reducessellingcost,increases factory out-put—permits specializing, with all that means in economy of making. The Slater Shoe Made In Canada 40 years. Goodyear welted. For men $4.00 and $5.50. For women $3.50 and $5.00.

Modern usages proclaim advertising the one road to success; neglect of it invariably ends in disaster. A merchant's standing in a community may be judged from the advertisement he carries in a local paper. To sell goods a man must advertise.
