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.

EXI'IiUIMENTS COMI'LETKD.
The Arlington Ores can bo Suecessrully
Treatetl.
Wm. 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

to as true and correct, Ix-fore the assessor or a justice of the peace, and
this statomunt must be filed with the

Neale stretched out his hand with n
quick motion mui laid it upon Blair's
Shoulder, to that Individual'*] great surprise, for he thought himself far out
of roach. 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:

"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. As to his daughter, 1

"Equal partners, as we nre," snld
Neale.
"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 hnd to lie somebody,
and tbe devil sent you In."
"I'm obliged to blm," .said Nenle.
"Go on."
"Mr. Alden spent the critical  time I
that afternoon," said Blnlr, "In Ibe of   I

"aLawyer?"
"One of tho smartest trust lawyers |
In this country nnd a man worlh mil

Alsia'ii was il .in-' there: He has organ*
hied a combination of the companies
In his line of business,"
"Alden has?" exclaimed Nenle, ninn?.-
cd.
"Yes, sir," responded Blalr.    "That
mnn Alden, the bead of a little, tottering concern  that  is on tlie edge of
bankruptcy, has got all the big fellows  in  line, and   lie glands to  win

"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

"Nonsense! You know where the

with a grin; "but, at any rate, please

then the hoys began to tight, and nobody paid nny attention to the bull after that. Usually some mucker from

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-

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."
"With all the pleasure lu life," responded Alden. "I feel like helping everybody, with one exception."
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

never come to trial. By the way, I

"I bells've I did," replied Alden.
"They failed nnd skipped."
"Have you any documents bearing

asked Elmendorf.
"Yes; I have one," snld Alden, "but
1 don't know Just where It Is. I'll look

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.
EltnoLdorf appeared to be busy with
tho old contract which Alden bad
handed to him, end, having received
permission to keep It for a few days,

".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

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

"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."

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

Asia, however, the realm of future

confined to the house. I used lini-

THE INDIANTTRAPPER.
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'

oasy, ambling.    Indian trot,    which
gives liiiver a .'ni' tu the runner, nor
resls lung enough  fur tlio snows    to
crunch biuieath his Iri'tnl.     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

FRIDAY, JUNE 18th, 1903.
■KUITOIUAI.    rltOITIN'I'S.
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.

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.

in these days of progress and competition
no tr.i>n in business
should neglect an opportunity to keep his
goods before the people.
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. All live
men seek the aid of
the printer
a Marl
to all persistent and lib-
oral advertisers: it is road
by everyone.
