Returns have been received from the carload of ore shipped last weok to the Hall Mines smelter, at Nelson, by the Kilo mine, on Lemon creek. N. P. McNaught, Silverton, one of the owners, accompanied the shipment, and be lias since informed The DRILL the returns received jier ton were $84 in gold and silver values equal to $5: and this for the full consignment of 20 tons. The total for the full car was $1680 in gold and $100 in silver. A carload shipment from the same property last fall gave $84 in gold a ton, there being §20 per ton of an increase between tho two lots. The Kilo's sliijmient establishes a record thiit has seldom, if ever, been equalled by any other gold property in British Columbia. The Kilo is no mere prospect, for it ha.s been systematically opened by a series of tunnels, raises, shafts, and surface cuts. There is blocked out upwards of 1.8,000 tons of ore iu thu mine, sufficient to justify the erection of a mill. There are 28 claims in the group, whieh is considered the best gold proposition in the country. Ex-Senator Warner Miller. of New York, i.s another of the principal owners. HiiieaavnerR Meet.

Steps are already being taken to supply the school children with a knowledge of the metric tables, but ample notice will have t0 be given to business men before the change becomes operative. This notice may be fivo year9, or the Gov- ernor-in-Council may have power to make the transition stage even longer than that. The reform is one, however, that must almost inevitably come. The civilized world, outside of Britain, the British colonies, and tho United States, to-day knows no other system of measuring than the metric. In these latter countries, includ- , ing Canada Itself, tho use of it bas been optional for years, and both in the United Kingdom and in the United States thc reform is being advocated. A bill providing for the abolition of the British system, as the old tables arc called, was accepted by hottj Houses of the Imperial Parliament \this year, and at the approaching session there ls every reason to believe that tho measure will pass all stages and become the law of tho land. Committees of Congress havo reported in favor of the metric system being made compulsory" throughout the United States, but inquiry has shown that the domestic trade of the Union is strongly opposed to the change, knowing nothing of the advantages they would themselves reap by doing business on this, the simplest, clearest, and most complete system of measuring that the mind of man ever devised. It may be of interest to Canadians to know that although the metric system was first applied in France, the idea whs that of a great ■Englishman. At the Imperial Conference in London two years ago, when representatives were present of the British Government and all the self- governing colonies, the following resolution was adopted: "'That it is advisable to adopt the metric system of weights and mca- sures for use within the Empire, and • the Prime Ministers represented at this conference promise to give consideration to the question of Its early adoption." B.C. Indian* Dying Oat. The Indian tribes of British Columbia, tortured by insidious disease, for the introduction of which the whites are primarily responsible, and face to face with tlie fact ot rapidly diminishing numbers that bespeaks extinction in the near future, are adopting heroic measures in the hope of check-mating fate. It is not race suicide in the general acceptance of the term that ia to blame, but the usual penalty of the red race when it touches the white, for the vast majority of the tribes are by constitutional disease ruined, and when children are born they are unhealthy from births Thinking men of tho tribes are seeking external remedies, ami the adoption of white children by stealth —varied with an occasional out-and- out purchase—is becoming common. Only a few years ago lho chiefs and sub-chiefs of one of the Vancouver I* land west coast trilies united to pay I'eter Bellinger $4,000 for hi* five- year-old son, who was received with honor, elected a chief with elaborate ceremony and alloted six wives, the sturdiest young women of the trilie, in order that extinction might be averted. The boy was rescuod by the provincial police and the tribe ivas left disconsolate. Two white travolers returned from Quatsino lust weok with the news that in all that once numerous tribe there is now only one child, a boy; and after a long and interesting pow-wow, the Halduhs of Uuoen Charlotte Island havo sent their little girl to Quatsino to tie his ; „y- niato and bride. An Outi-tiler •■ Caanaila. The Hon. Charles D. Haines of NPW York, a former member of the United Stales Congress, said in Toronto ihs other day: "My impression of Canada, in part or as an entirety, both as to country and peoplo can but be Inadequately expressed by u«- intc the word great. "I am fascinated with tho country as It is to-day and am astounded when I study the possibilities of its fut.uro. "It must be conceded thnt the great majority of people, IkjUi of Great Britain nnd tin* United States, have looked u.;>on Canada us a drear, cold. barren country, and the Inhabitants of the provinces have been unfortunately unable to fully extirpate such Impressions, and while these, delusions to a large exlent.

'•While New York has been talking canals for years, Canada quietly went ahead and built her magnificent artificial waterways, and changed the route of transportation over and through her own territory, to the great markets beyond the sea. "New York marvels, but does not yet understand her friends across the border,- who have a way of doing things first and talking after.

Heavy colds strain the lungs, weaken the chest, banish the appetite, cause melancholy. Pale weak people, whose hands and feet are chilled for want ot rich, red blood, always catch cold. Their lungs are soft—the heart cannot send out blood enough to make them sound and strong. Then conies the cold and cough, racking the frame and tearing the tender lungs. The cold may turn into pneumonia, influenza, consumption or bronchitis—a lingering illness or a swifter death. All weak people should use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The rich, red blood they make strengthens the heart, and it sends this warm, healing blood to the lungs, and once again the patient is a strong-lunged, warm-blooded man or woman. Mrs. Jane A. Kennedy, Douglastown, Que., bears the strongest testimony to the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in cases ot this kind. She says: "My sister, a delicate girl, took a severe cold when almost seventeen years old. We tried many medicines for her, but she appeared to be constantly growing worse, and we feared she was going into consumption. Often after she had a bad night with a racking cough, I would get up to see if she had spit any blood. At this stage a friend strongly urged me to give her Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Within a month from the time she began to take the pills she had almost recovered her usual health. Under a further use of the pills she is now well and strong, and I can recommend the pills with confidence to every weak person." Dr. Williams' Pink Pilla are a certain cure for all blood and nerve troubles, such as anaemia, debility, lung complaints, rheumatism, neuralgia, St. Vitus dance, partial paralysis, and the troubles that make the lives of so many women miserable. Be sure you get the genuine pills with the full name, "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People," on the wrapper around each box.

A Waad.rful Natural Cariosity I* Weat Tlrslala. Tbe greatest natural curiosity ln West Virginia Is the ice mountain ln Hampshire county. The mountain, which ls 4,000 or 5,000 feet ln height Is situated about sixteen to eighteen miles beyond Homney, on a mountain road, and is known to mnny of the people thereabout as the "mountain of ice." One side of this mountain, the western, is covered from apex to the river's edge with loose ore or shale to the breadth of at least a quarter of a mile. Beneath this shnley rock, no matter at what season of the year, there ls always plenty of ice to be found. When the natives want to get a supply of ice they go to the mountain, lift up some of the flat stones and dig or pick out all the ice they want. Ice has been got there ns late in the season as Sept. 15 and that always near the surface. The people suy that there ls plenty of ice the year round, only requiring a little deeper digging to get it Snakes and other reptiles which seek to cross the spot on which Ice is found freeze and become torpid before they succeed, as the frozen and dead bodies of many found lying on top of the ground go to show. Nothing will grow on er near the ice deposit, it is too cold for thnt Below, at the foot pf the mountain, a progressive farmer haa built a big log dairy or cold storage. The log structure has been erected partly iu and partly beyond the earth, and the interstices between the logs for the depth of several feet on the mountain side are packed full and tight with ice, while the same frozen liquid covers tlie floor to the depth of several inches. No effort is made to keep out reptiles, for although meat, butter, eggs, etc., are kept in the dairy, as lt is called, snakes and other such vermin always become torpid before they can do mischief. The only explanation of the freak given by persons familiar with the ice mountain is that the purt of the.mountain where the ice is found ls composed of loose rock or shale and that during the rainy seasons the spaces in the loose rock ate filled with water, which during the long, hard winters, which prevail in that section freeze so solid that the heat and rains of summer never reach it strong enough to melt It—Exchange. Clothes and Heat. When we speiik of warm or cool clothing we use ns absolute a metaphor as when we talk of the sun going dowu or the "rosy fingered dawn." Clothes can communicate neither heat nor cold to the body. Fur is not warm nor linen cool, except as they serve as conductors for tin? heat generated by tbe body Itself. Fur and wool are excellent nonconductors of heat—that is, they do not allow the bent of the body to escape so easily as some other materials—and the reason why fur is one of the poorest conductors of heat is not, as might be supposed, so much because of Its thickness and weight ns because of the air which i9 mingled with or confined between its filters, confined air being oue of the most effectual nonconductors of heat known. A BOON TO CHILDREN. A medicine that will keep infants and young children plump, good na- tured, with a clear eye and a rosy skin, is a boon not only to mothers, but to humanity. Such a medicine is Baby's Own Tablets, which promptly cure all the minor ailments of little ones, and makes them eat well, play well and sleep well. You can safely take the words of thousands of mothers who have proved the value of these Tablets; for instance, Mrs. J. R. Standon, Weyburn, N. W. T.. says: "I have proved the great value of Baby's Own Tablets In cases of diarrhoea, constipation, hives, and when teething, and I would not be without them." The Tablets are equally h.~" for the tenderest little baby or the well grown child, and tliey nro guaranteed free from opiates and harmless.

And ahe felt helplessly furious to realize that ahe had grown cold and white the Instant he stood before her. She had been crossing to the parlor from the dining room after luncheon when Roy Cameron had come along the hall. "Isabel!" he exclaimed, hla voice low and significant "Isabel!" She was more beautiful than the girl he had wooed. She had bloomed out in the atmosphere of luxury and In the assured social position that had come to her with' her marriage. And he found this new charm immensely attractive. He rejoiced that the hand she gave him an instant trembled in his own. But his eyes, that dwelt aa if ln fascination upon her face, were dark with unutterable reproach. Uer flrst words were plteously defensive. "It waa all in the papers," ahe faltered. "Bvery one believed it Your own mother accepted the newa of your death as true." "I wish to God that lt had been!" he ■aid passionately. "When later I read of your marriage—well, I hated those who pulled the Spanish knife out of my aide!" She shuddered, ber sweet lips paling. "But you look quite well; quite like your old self," she said anxiously. "Oh, I got over that hurt all right If a tbe other I can't get over. Put on your hat and come down on the beach, Isabel—that is, If your husband doesn't object" he ndded, with a slight sarcastic curl of his handsome lip. She drew herself up proudly. "My husband," she said coldly, "objects to nothing that I do. I will go with you for a short walk." And she told herself the while ahe flung on her golf cape and crushed a little scarlet Tam o' Shanter down on her dark hair with hands that still shook that this was tbe only time she would apeak wltb him alone.

Towering cliffs hid them from the aprawllng, fashionable town. The roar of the surf came up to them ln a low, booming, thunderous monotone. Ahead, behind, over the vistas of sand and vast surges of the ocean, hung a fog, dense, illusory, silvery, mysterious. In Ita rifts phantom ships were visible, dipping and courtesying on their noiseless course. "It's all very harmonious," aaid Roy Cameron grimly. "Might bave been made to order as a setting for our little comedy, eh? Nothing around us but vague obscurity — and we three the most hopeless of all the ghosts that I walk!" "We—three?" she repeated, not comprehending. | "You and I—and the ghost of onr vanished happiness!" he said. I "Oh!" she murmured. Then for a ■ little while they wulked on ln silence. \ "Isabel," he asked suddenly, bending forward to look Into her averted face, "why did you marry that rich man?" I Her wifely pride rose instantly ln arms at the Insinuation. i "You speak as though Robert Graeme were a rich man only," she said Indignantly. "He ls a good man—a wise and honorable mnn." j "But you did not love him," Cameron went on mercilessly. "And you were engaged to me." I "They told me you were dead ln the Philippines!" she burst out, harassed and eager to have the talk over. "My brother Frank was in tremendous monetary difficulties. There was disgrace of some sort abend for him. Mother wss breaking her henrt over the whole j matter. And then—tben Robert asked '< me to be bis wife. I knew he could | fix up everything. Besides, I was very fond of liim. I nlways admired him Tery much!" she ended defiantly. "Ah!" he said quietly—too quietly. "That was the way, was it?" They had walked rapidly, quite outstripping nil the others sauntering In the snme direction. Isabel was breathless from haste. Tbe hulk of an old bout drawn high on the bench offered shelter from the rising wind and the too Insistent clamor of the waves. Mrs. Graeme sat down on nn embank* ment of sand some children had made in tlie shadow of tho boat. "I shall rest a few minutes. Then we will go back." she said. She wns. wholly unprepared for the violence with which he broke Into speech. | "Back! Ton would go back to hlm? When it Is I, Isabel—I, who have tho best, first, real right to you! If It were not for that accursed blunder nliout 111v death you would have been waiting for me still." While, stricken, shocked, she snt there while he raved on.

He Control of Bronchitis Is Endoubtedly Possessed by the Well-known Family Medicine, Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Terpentine Turpentine ls considered a specific for bronchitis. The difficulty has been in the administration of the turpentine so as to reach the irritated and inflamed parts and not be disagreeable to the patient Not only has the trouble been overcome by Dr. Chase iu his Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine, but he has also combined with turpentine two or three ingredients of almost equal power in soothing and healing the diseased parts and overcoming bronchitis and other dangerous ailments of the bronchial tubes and lungs. By a secret process these elements ot unquestioned and medicinal power have been combined in Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine so as to be pleasant to the tatse and suitable for children and adults alike. The remarkable success of Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine as a cure for bronchitis, asthma, croup and whooping cough ls sufficient evi dence that it is effective in ordinarv coughs and colds.

Ills love should mako recompense to her— She found her voice there. "Love!" she repeated. "Love!" And ne quailed a little before the grave scorn in her eyes. "You would bave me break my pledged vows, degrade my loyalty, bankrupt my life—for what?" She paused, shaken by tbe revulsion of feeling that overwhelmed her. Waa this ber ideal lover? Was this man- peevish, passionate, wearisomely persistent—the hero she had enshrined ln her heart? "Oh, hush!" ahe aaid brokenly. "Hush!" He thought ahe spoke thus because of the aooroach of otli»'s. Two men were leaning against the hulk of tbe boat on the farther side. But lt was only after ahe had spoken tbat she recognized her husband's voice. "If It were not for a certain knowledge I possessed, Travis," he was saying, "I would not have urged the child to be my wife, long and dearly though I bad loved her. It was not even that i I could help her family out of a dire I difficulty were I one of them nor yet wholly because 1 was aware of tbe unstable character of the man for whom she bad, I understood, a girlish preference.

The silvery veil was rolling up Uki a scroll from the tossing, peevish billows, and the sun waa shining forth, dazzling, resplendent "The mist hns quite cleared," she said. And then lower, "Thank God!" That night Robert Graeme, marveling at ber greater gentleness of words, the new tenderness of her smile, thrilled to think that perhaps his one wild dream was coming true after all and that he might win the love be so craved.

When a mere child his parents removed to Bruce County, which shares with Huron the distinction of having furnished to Manitoba the bulk of her Ontario settlers. Mr. Jameson received a sound course of training In the public schools of his county, and at the completion of his school education, being of a marked artistic nature, he took up painting and decorating as his chosen calling, devoting his time and abilities thereto until 1893, when, largely as the result of too close attention to his work, his health failed, compelling him to consider change of climate and occupation. It was then that the voice of the Great West called Mr. Jameson, and hearkening to it he decided to try what the pure, bracing atmosphere of the prairies would do for his health.

SLOCUM'S GREAT TONIC PSYCHINE (PRONOUNCED 51-KttN) J. W. JAMESON Editor and Proprietor of Dufferin Leader, Carman Among all tiie newspapermen of the Canadian West, few arc be tor known or more widely respected than I vV Jameson, editor an.l propr-emr 0f the Dufferin Leader. Both for hid nersonal and professional qualities Mr Jameson is deserving of the ;st0ein with which he ls generally regarded. His aims and ideals as an editor and newspaper proprietor •ire tlu* reflection and counterpart of those of his personal lifo. Thorough- m.ss reliability, solidity, Impartiality, Integrity—these are bis dominating characteristics as a man. and these are the distinguishing characteristics of his paper. In some respects Mr. Jameson Is not a typical Western editor. Caution and deliberation enter more largely into his mental make-up than is the" case of most of his confreres Of enterprise he has no lack, but in everv caso it is subordinate to accuracy and reliability. Change for mere change sake offers no attraction to his mind. Before Mr. Jameson goes ahead he wants to be sure that he Is right. His sense of responsibility to the public is great and ever-present and every editorial judgment he pronounces is made with constant reference to its possiblo effect, not merely on the fortunes of the political party to which the Leader gives Independent allegiance, but to the whole public welfare, and to the future of the country. Mr. Jameson has the hahit Of regarding every public and political question as involving more or less of :i moral issue, and. as the ultimate test of their advisability, all are tested hy this touchstone. The things that make for civic and political righteousness, Hie things Hint an* of good report, that aro of virtue ami praise— these are tho things to which Mr. Jameson holds, both as an editor ami as a ina*i. Mr. Jameson is n tlrm believer In the saving sense and wisdom of thc gnat Canadian democracy. His faith In the common people is deep and abiding. He banks on the deep-seated sense of rl„'ht existent in their hearts and. though they make mistakes duo to skilful and wilful misrepresentation of fncts and issues, they nre learning thereby, nnd slowly educating themselves to B realization of their needs and of the means by which they can be attained. Nellev- lng thus, it is no wonder that Mr. Jameson gives firm adherence to Liberal principles and general support to lhe Liberal pnrty. His habits of thoroughness and going to tlu* root of matters, makes hlm dissatisfied with any discussion that does not go back i" cardinal principles, nnd hence his editorial opinions nre of a rtpenesii and weight such as are seldom found ■ ng Western weeklies. The same habits of rellabllty oharctorlaes tne Loader's news columns, whicb abo?" from week to week u careful sifting, arrangement and presentation ol the local happenings. Typographically the Leader enjoys a nlnh position among Mr. Jameson's contemporaries, Tasto and care are apparent on every pi I each issue. That the Carman business men appreciate Hu* local pape*T Ih evidenced by the apace they lake to announce their store news. Taken all in nil the Loader Is B local i of which any. district migni well be proud, nn Important factor In the dlsaemlnatlbn of the principles nnd policy of iho political party II supports, n powerful Infuence In l"'"'1 nn I nittnclpal affairs, an enterprising and reliable newsgatheror, and •••■ altogether mechanically excellent newspaper, Mr. Jameson Is nn example nf wbat ran be dune in a new and strange occupation by a man who firings to 11 ability, Industry nnd common sense, I!" wns |Ti years of age wben he en* ''i'ii the publishing business and bad no previous "experience In the me- ■"•hanjei of printing when he »et oul 1 publish the Leader. Carman al '•"lv bad a good local paper, the (lard, strongly entrenched In local favor, and the prospect or entering ,;i" Held against s.i formidable a rival i well have deterred one of much ""'i'" experience In the publishing '""•""ess than Mr. Jameson could boast Mr, .innieson, liko the majority ot which he still conducts in conjunction with his newspaper, and which has grown to considerable proportions. In lS'JS, as before stated, be embarked on his career as editor, establishing the Leader, Carman's second newspaper, and, without prejudice to any other members of the Western newspaper fraternity, lt may be said that he has in the interval maile an enviable reputation and that his newspaper is the best evidence of his merit as a newspaperman. Mr. Jameson's face and figure are among those most familiar at the conventions of the Western Canada Press association, at. which he is one of the most earnest workers. It is not too much to say that such gatherings would hardly seem complete were he absent and the members ri prived thereby of llis measured speech and placid wisdom, and the benefit of his experience as a printer, editor and publisher, ln -the ranks of newspaper workers in tho West there are many men who could better be spared in this, the formative period of its life, than can Editor Jameson. He stands for and illustrates those principles and practices that, whether In the life of a newspaper, a man, or a country, tend to the Best development along lines of both material and mora', progress. The personal success that comes thereby Is not by any means principal, though undoubtedly It Is a desirable, result. This success Mr. Jameson has deservedly reaped, but his true value to Western newspaper dorn is in tbe principles for which he contends, and the influence he exerts. •OUT THROW A WAT YOUR MONEY ra KMtfra ami 8oath«m drown Naratrj itoek thai will aot trow, bat writ* tor oar eatalosae ot hardy Apple, Grftbfa Plums, Gliomas, OooMbarrlat, Rupbarrioa, Currant*, 8tr«wbar- rle» Rosa,, Ornamental Shrub, and Traoa HaXUaand Windbreak Troon, Parrrnial Plant*.

The provincial legislature will meet for tho transaction of business next Thursday. Thero is much curiosity as to the probable railway policy of the government. With an incrensinply active competition among ore liuyers.with the dead lino reduced from 50 to 55 per cent stuff down to 30 and Sii per cent grade. and railway rates reduced from Sll to $10 per ton, Slocan producers of zinc are feeling quite cheerful these days. Zinc promises to bring the better times silver lead has failed to realize. Another Slocanmiueownerhas gone on record as favoring the two pel cent tax. Louis Pratt, manager of the Lost Chance, says the tnx is fair and has not worked a hardship on mines. The carpet authorities of the Provincial Mining Association have again been set at defiance and their agitation against the two per cent tax will avail them nothing. When corporations scrap the people sometimes reap a benefit. The Great Northern Railway has been handling most of the zinc out of the Slocan and deemed themselves happy. In order to win a share in a rapidly expanding traffic, the Canadian Pacific Railway has cut the rates on zinc ores from the Slocan to Kansas from Sll to $10 pei ton. The railway struggle thus gives the mineowners ?l additional profit on their ores. Every little helps. Others have butted into the wrangle started by TheDiuli. relative to smelter rates on Sloean ores. The Standard and Geo. Huston, lioth of San don, are out with strictures on the situation. Mr. Huston hnd a long letter in the Nelson News of Sunday. contrasting the prices realized on the same class of ore- viz., 60 per cent lead and 50 oz silvor from European and local smelters. He asserts that by shipping to Europe the mineowners cau obtain $0.15 per ton more for their ore tban by selling to the local smelters. To Europe it is 6000 miles of a haul, to the loeal smelters less than 200 miles. One point has been established, the local smelters have not raised their rates since I902j but, in the light of the figures given by Mr. Huston, are not the people justified in believing the local smelters responsible to a certain .degree for the depressed condition of things in the Slocau country 7 The elections iu Ontario last week evidenced a remarkable revulsion in public opinion in favor of the Conser vativo party, tho turn-over being the most pronounced iu the political his tory of that province. The Conserve tives have a majority «>/ upwards uf lo members iu tho legislature, with nn excess in the popular vole ol above 20,000. No less than live Liberal ministers went down to defeat, and Premier Ross himself narrowly i scaped t> ing left at home. While Conservatives naturally feel elated al the great victory woif^gienterindeed than even they or their opponents could possibly imagine, it must not be for gotten that a share in tha victory must b« credited to those independent Liberals who placed political honor before party fealty. The Liberals bad been too long in power nnd they luul permitted a most corrupt .combination of professional politicians to gain the mastery over their party Organization, in consequence of whieh thero luul been credited to them u long catalogue of crimes against public morals. The victory of the ('nu.*eiv;itives has beeu one of the people against machine politics of corruption und misrule.i.ud it is safe to say the lesson will not be forgotten. Ho„. Mr. Whitney, the new premier, has material of right sterling worth among his followers, and he should have no difficulty in giving the people uf Ontario n wis,. and capable government, By login luting for the people at all times he will In* safe, and the ' Conservatives will retain the lasting regard and support of the electorate'.
