The Kiiterp-im. Zinc. A. C. Garde, manager of the Payne, has published an exhaustive article on the zinc resources of the Sloean. In speaking of the Enterprise mine, in this division, ho says: Since 1908 about 1000 tons of high grade stivcr- lead-zinc ores have boen mined and shipped to tho local smelters. Average assays went 157.9 oz silver, 17.5 per cent I,-ad, and 23.9 per centzthO. Jt will readily lv sc-u that the shipments wero made for tin* silver-lead values and that a penalty of 50 cents per unit, or $7 par ton, had t.i be paid on' tho zinc, which of course ■.-/.■ted as a dr.twback. Soaie two yen's ago au" attempt was made to concentrate the] zinc from tho lead, but it did uot prove a success, as tlie losses In silver and grey copper proved excessive. At the present time the mine is leasi I and the ore sorted by hand, to bring the tenor of the zinc down as low as possible. A sorted zinc product i- reserved ou the dumps, which may be concentrated tu advantage during the summer. Aside from this there is no great tonnage of zinc in sight.

Koch has renewed the lease i'i his own name and on his own behalf, he paying Pat McGuiiv a sum approaching S2000 as a quitclaim for his interests resulting irom the former lea.se. Several of the old gang of workmen had remained here waiting for the ch.ange in management,aad on Saturday commenced getting theii kits together. On Monday a big bunch of men went up to the mine under charge of C. Browning. Mr. Koch is under obligations to catch up with the development of the mine, and he is bound to keep the dead work SO far ahead of the sloping. Satisfactory results will ensue from the new arrangement, to the benefit of the creek and camp. The Ivanhoe i* Iiu<j-. Phil Hickey, manager of the Ivanhoe mine, nt Sandon, passed through on Friday to Nelson, lie told the si-rilie that things were rapidly picking up in the upper part of the Slocan and he looked for a brisk and busy summer. At his own mine they were .employing the largest force in the camp, bavin;,'85 men on the payroll, Upwards of 100 tons of ore was being sunt down to the mill daily, resulting in 20 tons of concentrates. Tnesinc they were producing was of excellent qu dlly, and they were shipping from 250 to .'liH) tons per nnntn to tola. Kan..and that amount wo ild be main tainoo for some time to como, Mining gono:,illv, Mr, Hickey said, hul got down to a solid basis and ill i country would p.'olit thereby, bright and pleasing spectacle. Everybody went in for a good time and they had it, tho dance not ending until after 8 a.m. On Tuesday. Several of the numbers on the programme were played by the band, but the majority were given by the newly formed orchestra, under the leadership of VV. E. How, and tho music was first class. Refreshments were served in the hall by the memliers of the band. It ilia* Meeting. The adjourned annual meeting of the Slocan Rifle Association was held in the ollice of D. S. McVannel, last Thursday night. Tho treasurer presented his financial statement.showiug tbe receipts to have been $468.25 and the expenditures $410.79, leaving a balance on hand of 117.46.

A llii<tliiciiit Change. R. E. Alien, of Mie Pioneer Livery ifc Feed Stables, has sold out his business to R. D. Kennedy, the papers being signed up yesterday. Bob has the entire output of the St. Eugene lead mine nt Moyie, necessitating the full lead treatment capacity of the smelter. The copper furnaces will also bo run to tho limit, as the War Eaglo aud Centre Star, at Rossland, are increasing their output. Besides the Silver King, at Nelsou, is sending to Trail three cars of ore daily. The smelter has a busy season ahead of it. Warm l'uity Meeting A warm meeting of the Conservatives was held in Nelson, ou Tuesday evening. What aro known as the "kickers" issued a public call to all those in favor of the local government for the purpose of forming a new association. The "regulars'' captured the meeting, passed a resolution to do everything in their power to elect Hon. Charles Mackintosh at the next Dominion clections.and ironically thanked the "kickers" for the free use of the hall. The latter then adjourned to Lawyer Flliot's ollice, whero tho necessary steps were taken to form a uew Conservative association. Itcm-hoi-H ut lain- Society.

Following upon tlio bonning of the Legal by the Chapleau popple, comes a still more important announcement the sale of the well-known Kilo group, also situated on the tiftt north fork of Lemon creek. The purchasers are a Syndicate of prominent and wealthy men from Helena, Mont. N. Ft-McRattght, Silverton, ono of the owners, passed through hero on 1-Y.div tn Nelson,•accompanied by Mrs. McNaught. Ho in- formed' The Dp.ili. mui that nn the day previous he had received a wire from his brother, Co!, .lames McNaught, stating the Kilo group had been sold. The d.*al is ■raactica.lly cu a cash basis, the sum involved being 575,000. Of this 525,000 bus been paid down, the remaining 860,000 comin.'-; fn six months, Emm-deed in tho group are 28 claims, all joining one tti the other, tbe owners thereof, in equal sKive-, being N. F. McNaujht, Col. McNaught, ex-Senator Warner Miller and the Spiers estate, of New York. The Kilo is essentially a gold proposition and has had SIO.OCO spent on it in development. The group possesses a number of mineral bearing veins, the principal one being opened up by several tunnels ami raises, all in nre, aud without a break appearing any* where. The paystreak will average two feet in width and gives $2-5 per ton for the run of the mine. A shipment made some while back gave smelter figures of $71. It is estimated there is 19,000 tons of ore blocked out in thc mine, besides a huge quantity available for shipment on the dumps. Representatives of the purchasers visited and inspected the Kilo late last fall, and so pleased wero they that they obtained an option on the mine, which has now lioon lifted. Mr.McNanght stated work on the property Would commence by May 1st, so as to keep up the title of the several claims. Later on in the season the purchasers would erect a mill and instal machinery for treating the ore on the ground. The ore is susceptible to concentration and will give handsome profits. The purchasers are bona fid" mining operators and are not acting as company promoters, their money being put into the scheme as a business invest ment. Col. McNaught is deserting the minin:,' field for that of railroad promoting. He was in the Quebec Central road, which was sold to Mackenzie & Mann, and In- is now one of the leading spirits connected with the Grain'. Trunk Pacific scheme.

The R*eo is the largest shipper in the Slocan. ■ The Reco has mado ?30,000 profit on its winter's operations. Considerable supplies have lx-en going up to the Myrtle this week. Rossland mines sent out last week 7712 tons of ore, or 117,831 tons to dale. Last week Boundary mines handled 16,902 tons of ore, or 217.154 tons for the year. A crowd of men passed through on Monday from Nelson, to work at the Enterprise, Freighting to and from tho Enterprise has had tn lie done lately principally at night. .Mines in the vicinity of Sandon last week shipped 238 tons of ore, making Tyool tons to date. Wm. Bennett and Geo. Clark havo secured a lease on the Chamliers group, near Cody. Some of the Sandon mines are reducing their crews, owing to th? rawhide .trails breaking up. Work on the Triune group.Springer creek, has ceased for the present. The results were satisfactory. Notice was posted at Northport on April 1, that tin- Le Roi smelter would resume operations in ten days. The White Bear, Rosslsnd, has placed its orders for the timber and machinery for its concentrator. Ernest Harrop and Robt. Andrews are crown granting the Black Prince and Clipper claims, on Lemon creek. Owing to the soft snow the Chapleau people aro finding great difficulty in getting up supplies, even for a small crew. Frank Griffith and Ed Newman went up the first north fork of Lemon on Monday, to work on the White Sparrow. Tho lessees of the Neepawa. on Ten Mile, are meeting with success, and they expect to make a carlotd shipment shortly. The Ottawa has the promise of government assistance towards their wagon road, to be constructed so soon as the snow goes. Pending the resumption of operations nt the Northport smelter, the Le Roi mine has laid off the greater portion of its force. N. F. McNaught has purchased two claims adjoining the Moilie Hughe., New Denver, and will proceed to develop them at once. A large number of rich samples of ore have been sent by the SlcH-an properties to tho St. Louis fair, forming an Imposing exhibit, Tom Benton.

From ber earliest recollections strangers bad exclaimed over ber pretty face, and her lovers one after another bad bung tbe variations on the same theme. Miss Merrlam listened politely nnd found herself extremely bored. "To be loved for your face is like being loved for your fortune," Miss Merrlam confided to her jourunl. "Beauty has wings Just ns truly as riches. If a man fulls In love with your complexion what is ho going to tlo when you come down wilh the smallpox? If I were n pretty fool I might be perfectly satisfied wltb things as they are, but I know I'm worth loving for myself—if only tbey had the sense to find lt out." Unfortunately for themselves Miss Merrlam's adorers never suspected her peculiar views. If thero bad been ouo of tbelr number shrewd enough to compliment her intellect Instead of her dimples and to have talked nbout her sparkling wit rather thau her spur- kllug eyes he would have found tho short cut to her heart. As lt wus, tbey were unanimous In deciding that tbe aforementioned article bad been omitted from her composition. Aud Miss Merrlam expressed ber displeasure ln the following paragraph in her Journal: "Beauty, beauty, beauty! Uow tiresome lt all Is! I wish I might uevor hear I was beautiful again." Rash prayers sometimes bring unwelcome answers. Not very many days later the city was clectriGod by the news that Miss Merrlam bad been thrown from her automobile nt a well known watering place and seriously injured. Pictures of tho beauty appeared in all tbe leading newspapers of the country, with reference to licr possible disfigurement. Miss Merrlam's relatives, when apper.led to on this Important point, refused to say anything to relieve the suspense or to satisfy the popular curiosity. And tho explanation of their reticence was apparent when Miss Merrlam mnde ber nppo;T- anco ln society n few weeks law?. Across tho faultless curve of tho girl's cheek ran an unsightly scar, a scar so aggressively prominent that It held tho attention of the observer and mado him forgetful of all else. It seemed likely that Miss Merrlam was to have her heart's desire and uever again be forced to bear that she wns beautiful. Lloyd Hollistcr saw ber for tho first time at one of the opening functions of tbe season, a few days after bis return from abroad. "Notii'o that girl over thero," n friend said, pulling his sleeve. "Last spring she was the •beautiful Miss Merrlam,' and sou her now. Hard luck, isn't lt?" Hollistcr looked as directed. Ho saw n smnll head regally carried, a muss of dazzling hair and eyes that shot violet lights from under their arched brows. Then Miss Merrlam turned her head, and he saw tbo scar and nothing else. "I'd be sorrier for bor," the mnn at his elbow went on, "If she hadn't turned down half tbe follows in her set. I guess sbe thought she was good for a tluke witb that face of hers. Introduce you, did you say? Why, certainly, uiy dear fellow." It was the Innate chivalry of Hollis- ter's nature which had prompted him to ask the honor of Miss Merrlam's acquaintance. He was us sorry for the girl ns he was disgusted with the cold blooded comments of the man who had poiuted her out to blm. For the first few moments of their conversation he unscrupulously kept bis eyes away from her. He could not bear to witness tbe beauty in eclipse, and ho fau- •*rcied that she wbo hnd been so used to reading admiration in the eyes of every man must wince at tho pity whieh tact could not conceal. Presently be found that admiration was gcttlug the better of his sympathy. This quondum beauty was not crushed by her misfortune. She met this thunderbolt of fate's Rplto with n g.illnnt courage which quickened Holiister's pulses. Her easy gayety, her apparent unconsciousness of the patios of her situation, appealed to hlm us no woman's beauty bnd ever dono. llo made the discovery thnt Miss Merrlam wus brilliant If no longer beautiful, nnd tbat ber cleverness, unlike thnt of mnny of her sex, owed nothing to HI nature. In the months that followed ho saw a grent deal of Miss Merrlam, It was clear that tho girl's liking for social pleasure remained unaltered by the change ln her circumstances. She went everywhere nnd to all appearances en- Joyed herself in spite of the sudden falling off in the number of her admirers. There hnd been a time when tho man who wished a word with tho beautiful Miss Merrlam was obliged to fight his wuy through n double ring of black conts, but Hollistcr had no difllcully in gaining bor side whenever be went. Yet the deposed fiucen of hearts seined so unconscious of anything about her which culled for sympathy that Hollistcr suppressed his pity ns if it had been a form of disloyalty, nnd after a time he no longer found tliis difficult He admired Miss Merrlam too much to be sorry for ber. In every quality of mind and heart she met lii.-t Ideal of what a woman should be. As for the s<ir, he looked at It now unshrinkingly. Whatever be did, be uj.'.'int to act with his eyes open. The night ho asked ber to marry hlm tb»-y Mf In Miss Merrlam's little library, where the Bickering light of tho grate fell full upon her face. No man worthy of the name is voluble when ho lays his heart and life iu the hollow of u woman's band. Hollistcr Stammered through his lovcmaking like u boy. As be went on Miss Merrlam turned away ber fuce so thut tho profile was toward bim. The light of tho fire flashed on tbe scar, and it stood out iu livid relief. As a rule, Hollistcr was not fanciful, but for an instant the gash seemed the mocking mouth of a demon stretched in a fiendish griu. Hollistcr waited a long time for an answer to bis question. Miss Mer- rium's face was averted, and he could see that she was stirred by some strong emotion. When ho made a movement to take ber band sbe turned toward bim suddenly, and he saw tbat her eyes were brimming wltb tears. "You are a brave man, Mr. Hollls- ter," sho said in a voice not quite steady. "Have you thought of tbls?" Her lingers touched tbe scar with a strange, balf caressing gesture. "Hnve you thought what it will mean to have every passerby look at your wife pityingly nnd whisper as you pass?" "I lovo you," wiib Holiister's answer. "If there is a hard thing in your life it ls my right to share it." Then his bond whirled ut tbo look of sudden adoration tbat leaped from ber eyes. "Ob, I wanted to find a man liko you," Miss Merrlam whispered. "I was sure thcro must be such a one ln tho world." And then she was in bis arms, with the poor, scarred cheek pressed to him, sobbing out her heart in a burst of exultant triumph that enraptured bim without bis understanding lt ln tbo leust. Wben they snid good night Miss Merrlam clung to her lover as If re ltictnnt to let blm out of her sight. "I must see you ln tbo morning, dearest," phe said. "You must spare me a few moments." And Hollistcr, who was looking forward to the separation of a few hours as if lt had been us many weeks, agreed with a sudden lightness of heart. He wondered a little when he came next morning thnt she should keep him waiting. His heart leaped at every footstep ln the hall for the first half bour, and when at last she stole Into tbe room, closing the door behind her, she took him by surprise. HolIIster sprang to bis feet, then stood staring blankly. An enchanting face smiled up at him, a faco rosy with blushes. He saw tbe play of tbe dimples and tbe curve of tbe check ns if he were looking on lt for tbe first time. Tbe scar was gone." "My God!" said HolIIster helplessly, and he dropped Into a chair, his own face dead pale. Miss Merrlam ran to him hud dropped on ber knees beside bis chair, looking into bis eyes with a fascinating mixture of timidity and confidence. "Forgive me, dearest. Don't be angry' with me for deceiving you. If you only knew bow tired I grew of men who couldn't see anything in me to love but my pretty face! That little accident with my automobile was too good an opportunity to miss, nnd the scar was easily put on. An actress showed me bow to do it, but 1 flatter myself tbat after a little I improved upon my teacher." Sbe smiled at HolIIster shyly and did not seem to find bis silence discouraging. "Please don't say you like me better the otber way. I almost grew to hate my beauty wben it blinded people to all the rest in me, but now I'm glad lo havo it to give to the man wbo loved me for myself." Several complexion specialists claimed tho credit for removing the scar that had ruined Miss Merrlam's beauty and reaped golden harvests thereby, llut tbe beautiful Miss Merrlam never regained ber title for the reason tbat ber Identity was soon merged In that of tha beautiful Mrs. Holiister. An Equine Joke. At 2 o'clock ono morning, when the fog was so thick that you could not see tlio name of tho streets printed on the lamp posts, n telegram was received at a San Francisco newspaper offlco from an interior town tbat a prominent official had been killed while bunting. Tho news bad to be broken to the family, nud tbe man doing the late watch was told to jump into a carriage and get some "dope" on the deceased. He grabbed tho first four wheeler ln sight and did not notice thut the driver had been Imbibing, He gave him tho address and settled bnck to get n few winks of sleep, but was awakeiu-d by the carriage coming to a standstill. Ho pot cut and ns bo glanced around be was surprised to see headstones and monument! on every side. He looked ii|) and found "cubby" fast asleep. In nu Instant bo appreciated the situation.

When you're rich you Just have to have a complexion—and no mere man can know what a fearful responsibility that ls. It's worse than servants! You have to employ beauty doctors and have little pots of greasy Btnff about You should seo Mrs. Lofty's supply. It is immense." Hazard smiled in an absent way and then began with tbe air of a man wbo is weighing his words, "If you really prefer a castle ln Spain to anything"— She cut him short "Have I ever told you about mine?" He shook his bead. She pointed ln the direction of the great, dark hotel which frowned down upon them. "It ees vanish, n'est pas?" she mimicked. "Behold ln Its place my nouse of the Loving Heart! I tblnk the nnme especially telling since lt is situated, as you see, on what wo might call the Street ef Love of Money. "I hope you seo the bouse plainly. Tbe stylo ls a sort of modified Italian, with a projecting cornice and an inner court." Hazard nodded. "Don't you tblnk tho boxes of hyacinths ln the windows and the big, low entrance give it a friendly look? That is what I aim at particularly," she explained wltb well feigned anxiety, "a friendly looking bouse!" "Great!" wns Hazard's feeling comment "But who ln thunder ls that man standing at the window?" and ho strained his eyes toward the great hotel. Then he turned to her with an expression of pleased and Innocent surprise. "By Jove, It's me!" "It looked so homely and Inviting, I suppose, tbat I couldu't resist It," bo explained as be noticed the warm flush rising In her checks. In a moment she had recovered herself. "Since you aro ln I hope you like the divuns nnd the low table and the books and pictures. Please notice, too, that things ure within reach. It doesn't look, does It as If I wore trying to live up to my fortune or suggest that I bave stopped to think what Mrs. Lofty would have done under similar circumstances?" "Not a bit" ho assured her henrtlly, while the peculiar compression of the lips of an old gentleman Billing next them indicated suppressed amusement "Well, come on, tben! Now, this room, which hns everything beautiful and useful and comfortablo thut I could find to put into It, Is for my heartsick and discouraged friends. Somo of them I shall not hove met be little door (It opens quietly on Fifty- eighth street, you see), and I shall cheer them up." "Leave care behind, all those wbo enter here," he murmured, as If he wore reading an Inscription. Tho girl laughed in n pleased way. "Excellent! A public sympathizer Is really wbat we need. I believe us mnny people fall from lack of sympathy snd encouragement as from lack of ability." She had grown suddenly earnest nnd her eyes filled with tenrs. Hazard leaned toward her ln real distress. "So silly of me," sbe began, with a little shake in ber voice. "But there hnvo been some rough places—places whero Mrs. Lofty, for instance, has looked on from ber luxurious life and said: 'I hope you'll get on all right Coodby, dear!' and left me with loneliness and discouragement eating my heart, nnd I hnve felt that In my House of the Loving Heart I should like to hnve lt different." The old mnn ln tbe next seat shifted himself around so as to get a better view of the girl's face, but neither of the young people noticed blm, aud sho began ber description once more. "These bedrooms are tbe best In the house. I Intend them for my poor friends. Still, 1 have Indulged In small economies. Now, for Instance, In these rooms"—and with n wave of the hand she ushered hlm Into another Imaginary suit—"thc appointments, though very comfortable, are less luxurious. In these I shall Install my rich friends when they visit me." An unmistakable chuckle escaped from the old gentleman, and Hazard and Miss Sherwln turned in his direction ln surprise. But he was bowing to tho occupant of a belated carriage, all uuconsclous apparently of their existence. "I shnll entertain a good deal for my poor friends—give them a cbauce to meet interesting people and get out of the ruts of their workaday lives," Miss Sbcrwln resumed. "But the rich ones" —hor eyes were dancing mischievously —"I shall ask only on ordinary occasions when I am having simple, wholesome dinners tbat won't mako tbem disconteuted with their lot." They looked at each other and broke Into long and merry laughter. Hazard's worldliness hud vanished like a cloud. "It's a great idea, sweetheart," be said softly, "and I'd like to work to make lt come true. Would you let me -do you think"— But the blushes were so violent this time that bo got no further, uud besides the old gentleman was standing before them. "I am Jasper Clark," he said simply, and at that name they both stared at | n hlm In amazement. "I kuow you'll forgive au old man for listening."

This discovery Indeed is almost of that kind which I cull serendipity, a very expressive word, which, us I bave nothing better to tell you, I shall endeavor to explain to you. You will understand It better by tbe derivation than by the definition. I once read a silly fairy tnlo called 'The Three Princes of Serendip.' As their highnesses traveled they wero always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of. For instance, one of them discovered that a mule blind of the right eye had traveled tbe same road lately because the grass was eaten only on the left side, where it was worse than on the right. Now do you understand serendipity? One of the most remarkable Instances of this accidental sagacity (for you must observe tbat no discovery of tbe thing you are looking for comes under this description) was of my Lord Shaftesbury, who, huppenlng to dine nt Lord Chancellor Clarendon's, found out the marriage of the Duke of York and Mrs. Hyde by tho respect with which her mother treated her at table."—Notes and Queries. On ■ Large Scale. "Yes, sir," resumed tho Dakota farmer as tbo crowd of agriculturists seated themselves round a littlo table—"yes, sir. We do things on rather a sizable scale. I've seen a mnn on ono of our big farms start out in the spring and plow a straight furrow until autumn. Then he turned round aud harvested back. We have some big furmu up there, gentlemen.

Ono of niy men hud bis camp truck packed on seven four-mule the step of tho porch, n "fascinator" thrown over her shoulders. At tbe foot of the step stood unother woman holding u restless baby in her nrnis. The two women wero so earnestly engaged in conversation that they did not notico how the baby was stripping young buds off the porch vine. "Gossiping," murmured Miss Ashton. She know tbe narrow life only too well. She bad run nway from lt years before. She wanted to go where your next door neighbor did not count the skirts and shirt waists on your line, where no one Insisted that because a young man bad shown you a few ordinary courtesies you were bouud to be engaged to bim. She swung ber chair impatiently, and hor glance fell once moro on the church. The sun was setting, and two peoplo were walking up the narrow flagged path. The man pulled out a key, threw open tho church door, and they both passed ln. He did not look like a minister. He was something of an athlete nnd had an alert air. A moment later ho was opening tho window. Tbe girl was not in sight but Margaret was certain that she was putting flowers tn tbo vase nt the pulpit "He's a leader ln tbe church, no doubt A man must always be at tbo bend of something," she thought. "And Miss Demure will be sitting down ln the amen corner soon watching bim with adoring eyes because the whole congregation looks up to him." Wbat a narrow set these people ln smnll towbs were! Here was a train stalled in their midst bearing men of millions, -women who bad truvcled at bom* and abroad, interests thut might off eet the world of trade, nud they did not stop so much ns to inquire Into the trouble. Tbey were so small, so narrow, so self absorbed! . At last the train moved with great heaving strain on wheels and spungs. Mnrguret gave one more glance at tho cburcb. Tho lights were ablazo, aud the young man was standing ln front of tho congregation, a book in bis hand. The girl was at tho organ. Margaret loaned bnck and closed her eyes. Sho saw another church, another man—and herself. Then sbe turned her thoughts resolutely Into other channels. She glanced down nt her bag.

Tradition has immortalized one Adar- Soma of Grand Canary, who could wrestle for two consecutive hours and. having been thrown undermost In a certain contest, got his antagonist between his legs nud arms and squeezed him so that his bones began to crack. The native wus subsequently sent as a prisoner to Spain, where he astounded the people by his performances. One day in Seville ho was visited by a brawny youtli of La Mancha, who was anxious to try a bout with him. "My good friend," said Adargoma, "as we nre going to wrestle together it is only reasonable that we should begin by drinking something." A large bowl of wine having been brought, ho took this in one hand and continued to address his challenger: "If with both your arms you can overpower one of mine so as to hinder me from drinking every drop of this wine we will try our strength together; If not, you may return to your home." The struggle took place, and Adargoma by degrees drained the bowl in the coolest nuuiner without spilling a drop of the wine. Ills one hand wrs moro than a match for the other's two. Wby People Stammer. Stammering depends on a want of harmony between the action of the muscles (chiefly abdominal) which expel air through the larynx and that of tho muscles which guard the orifice by which lt escapes with tbat of those which modulate thc sound to the form of speech. Over either of the groups of muscles by Itself a stammerer may have as much power as other people, but he cannot harmoniously arrange their conjoint action. Nervousness ls a frequent cause of stammering. It Is possible that the defect iu some instances may result from malformation of the parts about tho bnck of tbe mouth. Tho fact that stammering people nro able to sing their words better than to spenk tbem has been usually explained on tho supposition that lu singing the glottis is kept open so that there ls less liability to spasmodic action.

The song did not appeal to her when the manuscript wns sent to her by Sullivan, llut Sir Joseph Bam- by spent an evening at her bouse at that time, nnd In n casual way she remarked: "By the way, Arthur Sullivan hns sent nie a manuscript of a new song, which ho has nsked me to sing. You might look at lt. Personally, I don't think much of lt and am going to return it." Hornby tried lt over thero nnd then, nnd before he hnd gone half through It he stopped and said: " 'Going to return It,' did you sny? lt Is wonderful -nn Inspiration.

Wonder what has become of all that talk about reforming the Senate. A few years ago it was quite epidemic among the Grits, but now they find the upper house a most convenient place in which to cache away their old party has-beens. For the nine months ended March 31 the Dominion customs revenue returns were $30,163,263. For the same period last year the figures were $26,- 705,229, an increase of $3,458,034. Iu March the revenue was $3,659,251, an increase of $288,064 over March of last year. Events mature quickly in a mining camp and a few days are all that are necessary in many instances to turn dullness into activity and depression into prosperity. Here in the Slocan City division just such a welcome change is in progress and there is reason to expect a satisfactory sum mer's business. Following upon the resumption of operations at the Chapleau, came the bonding of the Legal claim, and immediately after the sale of the Kilo group for $75,000—all in the same section of Lemon creek. There is no doubt these three properties will be actively worked, so lend ing encouragement to other claim owners to start up. Happy to state, too, operations have once again been resumed at the Enterprise, with every prospect of a permanent continuance Properties in other sections of the camp are preparing for nu active summer's development, and there is a certainty of new capital coming iu seeking investment. In town events are shaping so as to give solidity and permanency to population and business. People have been given new heart and have taken a firmer grasp on things material, realizing that the clouds of depression are fast passing away. The happen gs of the past ten days have been eminently satis factory, and the citizens believe other good things will follow. It has always been a mystery to the people of this camp why the enterprising men of Nelson, usually among the foremost in exploiting new mineral fields, should have so persistently overlooked the great merits and advantages of the Lemon creek section. That portion of the Slocau City division lies directly between this place and the county town and is readily accessible from either point. There seems to have been from the outset a prejudice in Nelsou against the mineral resources of the creek, yet were they exploited and encouraged.results would be achieved that would astonish the country. Lemon creek i.s practically at the doors of Nelson, yot its great wealth, proven by much work, has beeu given the go-by for sections of far less merit. The mineral bearing area is at least 20 miles in lengtli,with a width extending to the headwaters of the various tributary streams. It is pre-eminently a gold country, with silver values, however, of .steady and paying proportions. The ledges are wide and continuous, while the ore chutes are numerous and extensive. Good trails run in every direction and ull sections of the camp can easily be reached. There are prospects by the dozen that are worthy of Inspection, and capital can find no more worthy field for investment than in the Lemon gold belt. Were Nelson folk to examine into the situation and realize to the full tho great wealth lying dormant within a few miles of their burg. they would be astonished at their own stupidity in not availing themselves of such a golden opportunity years ago. It is not too late even now for them to repent and amend their ways, to the enrichment of themselves aud the advancement of the country. frebacrit* for Thb J'jciu.. DRILL POINTS.

Patent and Enamelled Leather Shoes The Slater Guarantee No shoe manufacturer would have the temerity to guarantee ordinary Patent or Enamelled leather-certainly the makers of the famous "Slater Shoe" would not guarantee ordinary Patent or Enamelled leathers because with them a guarantee Is a guarantee, not a pleasant sounding but meaningless play of words. But the "Slater Shoe" makers use a standard of Enamelled leather which they can and do guarantee-every Enamelled shoe which bears the " Slater Shoe" trademark Is guaranteed-The "Slater Shoe" makers use no Enamelled leather which they cannot guarantee. And the "Slater Shoe" people have a patent leather made of Colt skin, pliable, flexible, as brilliant as the best patent leather and tough and durable enough to carry with It the responsible guarantee of the " Slater Shoe " makers. Every pair-of "Slater Shoes" bearing their guarantee has with It a Guarantee Bond Scrip lithographed liko a bank note and as good a guarantee as one. It says:- "We (the makers) warrant the leather In this pair of shoes not to break through within three months from date of purchase." The bond also bears the registered factory number of the pair of shoes to which It belongs. The Slater Shoe Made in Canada 40 years. Goodyear welted. For men $4.00 and $5.50. For women $3.50 and $5.00.
