A company, with the name of the Rioowilabi Mines, Limited, has been registered in this province lately,and whose sphere of operations will be in this -division. The capital stock is placed at one million dollars and di vided into one dollar shares. A list of objects is attached to the memo- liiiidjLini running through the entire alphabet, the main one being the purchase and development of the Speculator group of claims. In general the company is organized to carry on a mining business in all its varied forms, and its life is set at 50 years. Those Interested in the company are principally California and Victoria capitalists and may be considered a close corporation. Quite recently A. 8. farwell, of Nelson, drafted an excellent map ofthe property for the company, showing the Arlington ground as well. At tin* mine things are going on in an excellent manner, development being continued at a number of points.

Very little ore is being taken from the mine at any opening, the principal effort being Confined to development, In view of building the new mill. It is satis factory to note that thc top drift,near the Empress fraction, was steadily Improving when work was stopped by the snow. The Enterprise has not looked so well in many months as at present, while the reserves of ore are ' rapidly increasing. LEASE ON SLOCAN CHIEF. Gang of Men Went op Ws'ilnesilny to Begin Operations. Jack Aitchison has secured a lease on the Slocan Chief, situated at the head of Ten Mile creek and owned by the Warner Miller syndicate. He returned from inspecting the property Monday and on Wednesday four men went up to commence operations. The mine is well stocked with provisions, tools and general supplies, and lias comfortable buildings. The leilge is eight feet wide and has been opened up by two tunnels, one In 143 feet and tlie other below in 150 feet. In the upper drift Aitchison said ore was sliowing on both walls and in tne centre. It was narrowing down and would doubtless amalgamate into a fair-sized chute. The ore is a galena, carrying considciable ruby silver, which, of course, gives fancy assays Lie sampled the poorest, of the ship ping ore an.l it gave 258 oz in silver. The men will stay up at the property- till the first car of ore is taken out, which will he about June 1. It will cost $20 per ton to get the ore down to the lake, but even at these figures, the men expect to make good money. The proposed wagon road to the forks ef Ten Mile would make a big reduction In transportation charges. Mix;:. WKKK.

They looked like chunks of asphalt dug up from an old pavement, nud she turned from them with the re- murk: "1 suppose somebody has been after you again with a patent something or other." "Have you the slightest Idea what that something or other Is?" asked Mr. Bowser, with a smile of complacency. "Is It plaster to fix the holes In the cellar floor?" "My dear woman.

"You've astonished me before, sir, and I want no more of lt. Is It the coal gas you are goin to try nud bottle up and make a cure for the wuoopln cough?" "Be calm aud fear not.

"There'll be a bobbery of some sort," protested the cook as she obeyed. "You know there alius Is." "Never you mind about bobberies. I've got a slead sure thing In this, and there's barrels of money In It. You came from Ireland. I believe?" "I did, sir." "Well, within two weeks all Ireland will be talking about Bowser's new fuel, and It will probably bo mentioned In the papers that you were thc first cook lu tho world to use It." "It's more likely they will be snyin Tie left my place, but git along with it and have It over with." Mr. Bowser put In paper and kindlings, added a liberal quantity of his tnw fuel nnd then stood back.

"Well?" sbe asked to break the long •llonce. "Well." he replied, "I will simply say to you this evening tbat I will beat our house from now on for 10 cents per week, and 1 will run a steamboat from New York to London for $25.

Yet he looked ih her estimation so smart for a German, even for a German of position, ranch less just a guide, that she hesitated obviously before addressing him. Now, hesitation waa not natural to her. Even he, seeing he" for the first time, realized that, and, although be decided it became her wonderfully, he nevertheless generously shortened its duration by his own net, for he answered her faltering German tinged American query for general information in his best English, while he obscured the effect of its insular excellence by a comprehensively continental bow which there could be no mistaking. She laughed to herself at her former tliiridence. "Of course he is the guide!" She allowed her self congratulation to overflow beyond her nntural pride in her own discernment under dilliculties. She found grounds for it in the fact that she alone seemed desirous that day of seeing the treasures of tbe castle of Moringstein, that therefore the guide's whole attention would be devoted to quenching her almost unquenchable thirst for knowledge and that he was so good looking, almost wnstefully so, considering hiss enlling. Bnt that regret only crept in later, when she was forced to leave the ancient German castle, its age hallowed beauties and its fascinating guide. At the time she was fnr from complaining. Thc guide kept her too busy for one thing. For he certainly was a man most exceptionally gifted for his post, and all her enthusiasm seemed unavailing to discover a weak spot in his resourcefulness. As she said afterward, she admired above all things a man who would rather tell a transparent untruth than cause a woman a momentary disappointment, nnd here wns a man who, if he helped himself by his imagination, did it so skillfully that even a connoisseur became perplexed in trying to detect liiin in it. Tor she was a eo'unoisseui—thai is. if seeing everything to be seen uml eagerly bearing everything to be heard cuu make one. At any rate she was an exceedingly pretty girl, and every pretty girl considers it her privilege to be always pleasod. And, judging by her expression and the very way she still lingered when so much had been soon and copiously commented ou, she s'vi- dontly did not consider herself robbed in nny way of her rights on this occasion. Perhaps the very fact that this model entertainer ranked only as a salaried guide gave a zest to her enjoymetit by unlocking romance with the key of uuiisiinlness. Still, the luncheon hour protrndi's lt«elf into every normal day, taking more than a leavening of romance to displace It. "But I suppose one tniglit Miuly this pines* for weeks," she snid as she prepared to depart, "nnd yet meet fresh surprises?" "Ono might," he acquiesced, "even ar- range lo be surprised beforehand." He wns smiling nt her. and a smile is sometimes less involved than the words it accompanies. "Rut should I be surprised." she asked. "to meet you bore tomorrow?" "Not so surprised ns I should be"— "Well?" she questioned briskly. "Disappointed." be continued, "to find myself unsurprised." "But," she lauched. "you know very well that your real surprise would be if 1 failed to come!" "We were talking." he object ed, "of s counterfeit emotion." "Yes, only tomorrow will show which Is the counterfeit," snid she. Aud then she went very quickly to avoid his next glance. "I don't at all kuow which will hap- iisn," she told herself, And yet the knowledge thnt he considered thnt he did know exactly whnt would hnppon hardly disturbed her. It made ber laugh— that was all. What she knew he considered must Inevitably happen certainly came to pass. Yet it was bruin-hi about, she assured herself, by something so unforeseen thnt she became by its Intervention eutirely nn agent of circumstance, unmoved by the exercise of her free will. The very (oust she could do, considering everything, was to be there and to apologize. This she told him. looking extremely lovely ns she told it, with the addition of a blush tn heighten her onliunry attractiveness. Also there is always something inking to the masculine mind in an unqualified apology from a pretty woman, even when its exact causo Is wrap- pod In mystery. "I ought tn have known," sbe said. "1 blame myself terribly." And be was so engaged in beggiug ber to show herself leniency that he bad no time to inquire pxactly what It was sbe should have known. "It was so ullly 1 What must you have thought of me?" He enlarged, quite in the poetical stinin, on what he lind thought of her.

"My poor thoughts," ho began. "1 mean of my stupidity." "There never has been such a thing," be declared.

This ngnln took up n considers hie amount of time. Hut wns ever time better spent? To their knowledge, never! "Yet, after all," he said, us aguln the luncheon, hour laid lu mundane touch •■« the intangible, "after alls what we espe- t.uli.,' left to look at today we have nev- ed looked at." She looked, for her parts on the ground, apparently determined not to rend further what his eyes wore saying. "There is always tomorrow, though." he said, thus forced to give his meaning words. "Yes," she said, 1 ..t absently. And the impression arose in him that she was trying to say something she found especially difficult. "How much," he inquired, "docs that 'yes' covet?" "All the possibilities of tomorrow," she began. Then she plainly braced herself for the eSfsr; he had foreseen in her. "And my t-iirbt to regard or disregard your highness' suggestion as—as it pleases me." While he was recovering from the ".vour highness" ska disappeared. She left lhe castle of Moringstein this time breathless, but not only from the haste she made in doing so. This state in her was also compelled by the bewildering uncertainty now pressing ou her as to whether in the future she could ever again disentangle her pleasure from his. That questlop, bfing a very wide one, engrossed oven more of 1k*i' thoughts than her decision concerning the disposal of the following morning, tlie last on which sho could be free to visit the castle and him. But over all was a souse or triumph that she had managed to Introduce the "your highness" with some ueiitno.-s. Tho necessity for doing so ni least once iu the course of a conversation with any one to whom it applied she understood to be binding or, at any rate, customary. And it had faced her as strangely ditli- s'lllt of accomplishment from flic moment it was pointed out to hor—nt the very luncheon which had parted them— how sho had plainly mistaken 0 German prince for a German guide. A strange mistake indeed! Yesterday it hud brought her some secret pleasure, for so she hud proved to herself that she was to be trusted to recognize a inun's true worth, irrespective of his surroundings, even in spite of an astounding misconception as to Ids social statiou to blind her at starting. But today the glory of the man's position seemed in a measure damping her appreciation of the man. She oven wondered nt herself a little, nnd with a smile thai she, un American, should find this so, but she could not smile herself into another frnmc of mind. She might. In theory, prefer to step up to n prince rather than stop down lo a guide. But, standing as she slid, she assumed. with her nation's confidence, that here was a ease in which sho might have descended with ls>ss assistance than seemed necessary before she could climb, For she had definitely decided he was the nicest man she hnd met anywhere. Aud, looking nt him in that light, everything else connected with him took the appearance of unwelconied stumbling blocks designed lo keep them npnrt. Some of this—in fact, a great deal ot this—only piece, hy piece, and with much well managed prompting, she told her friend ol the I'nstle Moringstein the next day. They stood by n raullioned window set iii n wall of wanton thickness and overlooking a wldeapreadlng and beautiful scene, which thoy looked at, but did uot see. They hnd abandoned the castle's treasures, for they hnd discovered there In that haunted, musty old building the must wonderful thing in all lhe world. And it belonged to themselves exclusively, being their love for ouch other. "Anil you would almost rather I nnd been the guide you thought me?" he ask- id. und vet*" much a.s though he lined the thought. "Yes." she said; "for my own sake, yes." She hinted at a reservation because of a sudden mental vision of her father, who would certainly prefer a prince. "You would have enjoyed coining down ?" "With your baud to help me." "You would not have delayed?" he questioned anxiously. "I expect," she admitted with candor, "1 should have jumped it." "Then I wish 1 were n guide." "But I—love—the man," she reminded him. "My princess!" he exclaimed. "Miue, nnd no one else's!" "There is no one else," she said very softly, "for me." "If," he snid, nud surely be spoke jestingly, "that were tint*, that you would be my princess alone, I being no prince, Wbat then?" "Nothing different then." "Except nn ensier rond?" "Any rond together"— "The best there could be." "Then shnll our rond lie in England?" "Why. yes," snid she, beginning to doubt und to understand nlmost simultaneously. "And thnt just because England is the proper |lines.' for nn Englishman in live in with his American wife?" She Interrupted both her doubt nnd her understanding to assert herself. "We might visit America •sometimes," snisl she. "As often as you like if you will toll me who I really am?" "No guide?" "No guide, except as nn nmuteur, to thu delights of love." "Not even n prince?" "Not even a prince, except"— « "Oh, exci'pl to mo! But tho Englishman"— "You are going to marry," he finished. And she ilhl not contradict him, then or afterward, Thus on lhe third occasion they left together—nnd engaged.

There comes to you a copy of "a magtl- zine devoted to the interests of women." There are dozens of such, you kuow, in this country and iu other countries too. In your magazine "devoted to the interests of women" there is. maybe, a chapter telling girls just how they ought to fit themselves to be good and agreeable homemakers, how amiable thoy should be and careful to be always smiling and agreeable when their husbands come home after the day's work hns come to an end, and in these same journals from time to time, nnsi, in fact,, in a general variety of publications—dailies, weeklies and monthlies—there is plenty of space given over to articles on "whom to marry." This advice, no doubt, you have noticed, is indirectly intended fur the young man who is contemplating matrimony or is likely to nt one time or another. This young man is advised to avoisl taking for a wife n girl who is untidy in dross, unamiable in disposition ami given to "uaggiug." Oh, there are a hundred little bad traits that a woman may possess that nre pointed out to the young man who may marry, Kind, thoughtful aud generous nre these scribes, and true enough, loo often, aro their remarks.

And .luck at homo with his mother am. sisters coulil bo as untidy ns he pleased There wus always some ono to "pick np' after liim, nud as it wns known tha "Juck hadn't a bit of patience" every thing and everybody moved in a live!* fashion, just so that Jnck would bt pleased.

Here is n scrap from a very clevoi m»n's writings.

That Inrhns faults you and I must ncknowledge, bul why should his be overlooked any more than those of tbo average woman? Again I say. the average man does nm make tho best of himself, because wo do not expect him to. If you pin him light down to a truthful answer, I am quite certain he will honestly confess ibis himself. 1 am nuite certain, too. Unit tho average man is tired of hoiug humored I fancy he would quite enjoy the novelty of beiug expected to be amiable nnd reasonably putloiit. to not bo excused for beiug too lazy to make a careful toilet for uu ordinary occasion and to know that he is looked to to take mote interest iu the affairs of the home lliau to merely praise the dinner when it is good uud to complain When it is not on lime. Oh, yes, the average man is n good sort of fellow, but he has his faults. It ia hardly the usual thing, however, to call attention to them.

The game of polo sheds some light upon the foolish suggestion thnt exercise is uot necessary to human beings. You all know that iu playing polo a big man climbs on a small horse und races over a green field, hammering nwny at a little wooden ball, while other horses nnd men bump into him. There is no more violent exercise known to men, with the possible exception of foot ball. A great many hundred years ago an oriental prince was in what the English describe as a very "seedy" condition. His liver was too big; bis muscles were too small; his heart acted badly. He was billions, downcast and ready to give up the ghost. The doctors could do nothing for him. But aloug came a doctor from foreign parts who agreed to cure him. He laid: "I have wonderful drugs which can only be absorbed through the pores in the palm of the hand. These drugs I have inclosed in the handle of this iustrumiut which you see." Thereupou he showed the prince the original polo mallet with leather wrapped around the handle. The prince, as easily deceived as are most priuccs, cou- sented to try the new remedy. It was explained to him Unit be must get warm in order that his baud might absorb the health giving'drugs. He raced about on a little pony, ns directed, all day long for many days and at last Was a perfectly healthy prince. The wise doctor cover told him the truth—namely, that there were no drugs in the handle of the mallet and that he bud invented the scheme to make him take exercise. His courtiers were compelled, of course, to exercise with him. Thus the gumc of polo became fashionable nnd survives to our day. Don't be a foo\bjh oriental prince and wait for some doctor full of strategy to make you exorcise iu spite of yourself. Be sensible; go out and walk; run a hundred yards slowly uow uud thou. Above all, breathe deeply and slowly through your nose and demonstrate iu your own person how foolish is the man who docs oot appreciate exercise. No Terrors. Watts—I broke n mirror yesterday. Isn't there a superstition of some kind connected with breaking a mirror? Potts—Yes. It means seven years' bad luck. "It does? I'm glad to hoar it.

CHASE Is Measured by the Cures He Makes—Each Remedy Specific for Certain Diseases— A Remarkable Cure of Bright's Disease. In this practical age a physician's ability is measured by the actual cures he makes. Judged by this high standard. Dr. Chase stands pre-eminent as a giant among physicians. Take kidney and liver derangements, for example. Br. Chase, by means of his Kidney-Liver pills, has brougho about some of tho most surprising cures ever effected. This is due to the direct and specific action of this great home treatment on the liver and kidneys. Here Is the experience of a highly rcspectod resident of Con- aecou, Ont. :— Mr. James Dellihunt, Consecon, Prince Edward County, Ont,, writes: "For several years I suffered groat tortures of mind and body from Brlght's disease of tho kidneys. The pains were sometimes almost beyond endurance and extended from my head and between the shoulders down tho whole spinal column and seemed to concentrate across my kidneys. My back wus nevor entirely free from pain. When I got up In the morning I could not straighten myself at all, but would go bent nearly double most all day. My water was scanty and at other times profuse, and It gave me great pain to urinate. "I could do no work, and, though I tried many kinds of kidney pills, could get no relief. As a last resort I was induced by a friend to give Dr. Chaso's Kidney-Liver PlHs a trial. 1 felt a change after the first dose. I used in all about uv* boxes, and they have entirely cured me. I have no pains now and can do as good a day's -work as I ever could. It is a pleasure for me to recommend Br. Chaso's Kidney-Liver Pills, as they have done so much for me." Mr. J. J. Ward, J.P., Consecon, certifies that he has known Mr. Dellihunt for years as a truthful man and respected citizen, and vouches for the truth of the above statement. You cannot possibly obtain a more beneficial treatment for the kidneys and liver than Dr. Chase's Kidney- Liver Pills. It has stood thc test of time nnd has proven beyond dispute its right to tho title of "the world's greatest kidney medicine."

"Them»ln reason why the Spaniard uinl the Mexican devote so much attention, time and money to their hats is beodusi' it is to some extent made the symbol ol their standing in tho community ami because it was the grandees of Spain who of all others at court possessed the privilege of sitting or standing lu the presence of their sovereign with their hats un while the rest of the court uncovered.

Mr. William Oray, s.f Newmarket, Tells How He Hecunie Hale and Hearty at the Advanced Age of Seventy After Having Snlli-reil Great Torture From Sciatica and Rhessusatlsm. From the Express, Newmarket, Ont. Mr. William liray, who is .veil end favorably known in the town of Newmarket and vicinity, is rejoicing' over his release from the pains cf sciatica and rheumatism through the use of Ur. Williams' Fink Pills. A reporter of the *1.0.xpre»s called upon hint for the purpose of obtaining particulars of the cure whem Mr. (irny gave the following story for publication :— "About, two and a half years ago ! was seizi'd with a very severe attack of rheumatism. The pain was simply torturing. At times the trouble was seated in my knees, then in my hips. For nearly a. year i suffered along, •working as best, I could, In the hope of being able to overcome i no disease. During the day tho pain was less severe, but at night it was just as bad as ever. To increase my torture I caught a cold, which resulted in an al tacit of sciatica in my right leg. If f walked a short distance I would be seized by sharp pains in the hip and in time I becamo a used up man; my appetite failed me, and I could not ri'Ht at night on account of the pain. I tried one medicine alter another without avail. I also consulted doctors with no better result. I was beginning to think that I was doomed to sufTer the rest of my life when one day a friend strongly advised me to try Ur. Williams' Pink Pills. I took his advice and procured a supply of the pills and began taking ths-ni according to directions. Before the third box was finished I noted a change for the better, so 1 continued the use of the pills till I hud takon ten or twelve boxes when my trouble had entirely disappeared. To-day I am free from pain and (eel that life is worth living, even at tho ripe old age of seventy. 1 ran now do a day's work with many men who are twenty years younger than I. I i hank (Jod for my restoration to health through the agency of Dr. William's Pink Pills, and I trust other similar sufferers will give them a trial, for knowing what these pills have done for mo I am sure that they cannot fail boing as beneficial to others similarly alllicted. If the blood is pure and wholesome disease cannot exist. The reason Dr.Williams' Ping Pills cure so many forms of disease is that they act di- rs'ctly upon the blood and nerves, thus reaching the root of the trouble. Othe medicines act only on the symptoms of the trouble, and that is tho reason the trouble always returns when you cease these medicines.
