The team sent up was the same as played at Xew Denver and included three juniors, while, several enthusiasts also went along, The game was a good one and would have been finished had the referee, Main, not been so biased in his actions against the visitors. Sloean's light team were guyed a little by the rooters, but they quickly proved they wore all there and able to deliver the goods, Tunis excel* ling himself in goal. Sandon scored the first goal in a few minutes. Slocan gained confidence and took tho next, the score at half time standing '- to 2. flay com- menclug again Slocan shot a third goal, and then trouble started. .1. McKinnon, who had been roughing thingn from the start, attempted to jockey Terry, of Sloean, but missed, aud then the latter was ordered to the fence fi rtwo minutes for alleged trip- piug. Milne, captain of the visitors, would not stand for this, stating .McKinnon waa the one to blame. One word led to another and finally Slocnn Imi'..-lied to the centre of the rink, cheered for Sandon and quit the ice. the game being awarded to Sandon by the referee. It was too bad the game ended as it did. for it will tend to spoil hockey through the Slocan. Snndon should have called off the referee, but Sloean should have allowed the disputed poiui t.i pass, ai thev could have won out anyway.

BaV. Dividends I.ukI Yeur. Following are someof the dividends The Future of the Dry Ore Belt. Editor Drill: Sir, When a problem occurs involving the prosperity, almost the verv existence, of one of our mining camps,il may be in order to start a discussion, leading probably to a variety of thought and action, to find a solution to the sains, ft appears to me quite evident that theSf 'nger creek cnmp,on which the welfare of the city of Slocan so much depend ,, will not enjoy the activity and prosperity justly Its due until tho question of how best to economically utilize its immense tonnage of low grade silicious ores is finally determined. As food for thought, which 1 hope will lead to action, I herewith, as briefly as possible, present my views on the subject, hoping to be followed by some one with an abler pen: With a few exceptions, such as tho one at the Viking, the ore-bearing veins of thu Springer creek section may be classed under lhe two followiug headings: Type t.- -Fissures on which large movements have occurred, causing the ''pinch and swell" form of vein. These veins are in places fully 50 feet wide, and her: and there are filled with granite In all Btages of alteration from crushing, heat and chemical action. Chertyveiu quartz, talcoze and chloiitic matter, kaolinized feldspars, clay selvage, and so on. are closely associated with the mineral-bearing portions of the veins, which may lie on the footwall, just under the hanging wall, or anywhere in the vein filling. Examples—Arlington and Black Prince. Type ii. This kind of vein is moro numerous than that of type 1. and occurs in smaller and more regular fissures and jointing planes. These veins rarely show evidence of movement in themselves, but are frequently dislocated by small faults intersecting them at various angles. The vein filling is usually crystalline quartz, carrying the gold and silver bearing minerals. The ore is, ou the average, much higher grade than that from the larger veins of type 1. mainly de." t.i the added gold values, which mav range from i* to 880 per ton. Examples Meteor, Howard Fraction and Exchnuge. The general formation of the district is granite, which has nnny local variations, from basic leases and masse"! to acidic stringers, bars and zones. A series oi basic intrusive dykes occur in tli" district, but I am not aware that thev in any ease are connected with the main ore deposits. As to tlie ores of the district, ta simplify the subject, these mav be class- **i■>! according to certain limits of value, as follows: Class A. Ore worth say 536 to $1S0 per ton in car lots: Clas B, ore. running $15 to $35; Class C, ore ruu pin i % to 515 pnr t »n. Ci tss \. a clean shipping ore, usually occurs in liU'gd shoo'.s, or leat'c il ir Ivvii ■;. but in iv. iu part-consist of the richer por- tions of scattered bunches of min ".d round iu the vein gangue, Class B consists mainly of cobbinirs from Class A, but may. in part.be from numerous ss A. Class C is in part cobbing* y of vein gangqe carrying small bunches aud grains of visible minerals; also vein quartz, clay selvage and talcozo matter impregnated bv mineral solutions. As Class A and part of "lass ]! can 1 a profitably shipped in bulk under it conditions, I shall refer onlv to ere ranging in value from St'i to .?20 a f cobbiuirs from Class A, sm ill bodies of ore to > 1 iw in grade for Cli and screwing.*! from A and D, but in iin'* presei ton. with, sav, an average vauu hie of SIS Tliis mav be termed Class B- OUR ORE SHIPMENTS SU1SST.VNTIA1.

Quite a numbar nf vein of typ • 'i occur on Springer oreek and its forks, especially in tha Dayton creek, Robiuson creek and Bondholder creek basin-. From present information, I think the following properties likely to produce ores of Class B-C in substantial am units, in addition to ores of Class A: ' Combination, Tamarac Ottawa, Yount; Hear, Arlington-Speculator.Hampton, Black Prince-Two Friends, and the Calumet aV Hecla groups.

When British Soldier* Wer* First Forbidden to Wear Curl*. Matthew of Westminster tells us that in 1127 Henry I. ordered all the soldiers of England to cut their hair a proper length and not wear lt like women. This custom of wearing hair like women rose, according to William of Malmesbury, in tbe reign of William the red king. Young men, he snys, then endeavored to rival women in delicacy of person, to mince their gait, to walk with loose gesture and hnlf naked. Anselm ln 1102 enacted that clerks who hnd long hair should be compelled to have It cropped so as to show part of the ears and the eyes. William of Malmesbury does not mention the edict of Henry I., but be relates that In 1128 a certain knight who prided himself on the luxuriancy of his tresses, having dreamed that be was strangled by them, cut them off Immediately on waking. This example, he adds, spread throughout England, nnd almost all military men allowed their balr to be cropped a proper length. But, alas, this decency did not continue long, for scarcely a year expired ere all who thought themselves courtly lapsed Into their former folly, nud those who had no natural curls put on false ones.— London Standard.

On the visit of the latter to the shop, ln order to conduct an inquiry, be was at once struck by the chattering of a parrot, which was moving freely around the shop, and it occurred to him that the parrot might be the thief. He accordingly communicated his suspicions to the jeweler, and the latter, while stoutly maintaining the innocence of the bird, ngreed to have an emetic administered. The result was that the parrot disgorged over £200 worth of diamonds and precious stones. In future the delinquent was chained I to his perch.—Paris Cor. London Telegraph. Nnmhy Pambr* The term "namby pamby," which has come to be applied to a person of vacillating character as well as to weak liternry productions, was originated by the poet Pope.

DODD'S •/, 'KIDNEY 6 PILLS / WOULD PROVE A HINDRANCE TO FARM IMPROVEMENT. It the efforts of certain parties are successful, the farmers 6f Canada will have to face a very unjust and burdensome tax. A movement is on foot to have fence wire, which has for a number of years been admitted into the country duty free, put on tho dutiable list. The grades sought to be affected are galvanized iron or steel wire No. 9, 12 and 13. Practically none of these are made in Canada, and since enormous quantities are used each year in replacing primitive rail structures, and enclosing prairie farms, the Injury that a duty would impose upon the rural, community could not be readily estimated. Since the admission of wire duty free, Canadians have enjoyed the benefits of cheap fencing of a very desirable kind. This has not only vastly improved the appearance and value of hundreds of farm houses, but it has added immensely to the comforts of winter travelling over roads that were formerly very often impassible on account of snow blockades. To put a check upon this sort of improvement by a tax that could work only injury to the rural population without benefit to any other class of people would be indeed a serious matter. Besides working an injury to the farmer, the fence-man ifacturing industry would be demoralized. To increase the cost of wire, both fence production and consumption would be reduced, and farmers everywhere throughout Canada would be hindered ln making improvements upon their farms. TOO GREAT A CHANGE. "How did you enjoy those two weeks on yonr farm in the country T" ".Nut as well us i had expected. I suffered from a lack of my accustomed exercise." "Your accustomed exercise?" "Certainly; dodging delivery wagons, street cars, and automobiles, and jumping over holes in the street." LA GRIPPE'S RAVAGES. The Victims Left Weak, Nerveless and a Prey to Deadly Diseases. La grippe, or influenza, which sweeps over Canada every winter, is probably the most treacherous disease known to medical science. The attack may last only a few days, but the deadly poison in the blood remains. You are left with hardly strength enough to walk. Your lungs, your chest, your heart and nerves are permanently weakened, and you fall a victim to deadly pneumonia, bronchitis, consumption, rheumatism, or racking kidney troubles. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills never fail to cure the disastrous after effects of la grippe because they purify the blood and sweep away Its poisonous germs. Every dose makes new, warm, rich red blood, which brings health and healing to every part of the body. This is proved in the case of Miss' Dorsina Langloi3, of St. Jerome, Que., who says: "I had a severe attack of la grippe, the after effects of which left me racked with pains in every part of the body. My appetite completely failed me; I had severe headaches, was subject to colds with the least exposure, and grew so weak that I was unable to work at my trade as dressmaker. I tried several medicines without the slightest success until a drug clerk advised me to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I acted upon his excellent advice, and the pills rapidly and completely cured me. My strength returned, the headaches and cough disappeared, and I am again enjoying my old-time health. I sm satisfied that if sufferers from la grippe will use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills they will speedily recover from those after effects which makes the lives of so many people a burden." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure all the common ailments due to weak and watery blood, such as anaemia, headaches, sldeaches, Indigestion, neuralgia, rheumatism, sciatica, nervousness, general weakness and the special aliments that growing girls and women do not like to talk about even to their doctors.

The? Are a Vnluiilile Aid and Guide to the Triivi-lliiH Pul,11,-. Robert Louis Stevenson, one of the most notuble English writers known to the present generation, was wont to say that nothing Interested hlm more thun tlie perusul of n good map, und without doubt a map that ls well made nnd accurate catches the eye nud nr- rosts tho attention of ninny people us few other things can do. Tbe men In charge of railway traffic possess n most positive appreciation of thla fact, and a large expenditure of time and skillful thought is mnde on this feature of railway publicity. Said an official of the Chicago nnd •Northwestern railway while talking on this subject: "There Is no doubt that the American rnilwiiy uinp engraver hns carried his art well nigh to the borders of perfection. I do not know of any road maps or otlier detailed data for tho state of Wisconsin, for Instance, that equal those published by our passenger department, showing the hnunts of suiiiiiier tourists and fishermen. Tbey are on file in public 11- brnrlcs ns part of their reference records.

The map publishing business of the lnrge railway systems ls today reduced to scientific principles ond handled ln a most systematic msnnsr." THE ART OF SUCCESS. It im Noili I ii* More Thau Getting Along With People. "What a fine fellow Percy X. isi" remarked a business man one day to a lawyer friend. "Yes," rejoined the lawyer, "he ls. But he has been with the K.'s," naming a great corporation, "for ten years now, and he is getting only $150 per month. He has a wife and three children, and, with their tastes, I fancy they have all they can do to live comfortably. He ought to be earning mors with his education and capacity." "Why doesn't he rise faster?" "I'll tell you. He doesn't rise and he can't rise until he learns how to get along with people. He can't manage men at all. If he tries be gets himself disliked, and he keeps them ln a constant state of irritation." A similar conversation was recently overheard between two business men. Said one: "I hear that young Paul G., only four years out of college, has been placed at the head of the T. branch of the Y. company. I didn't know he was so smart What ls his strong point?" "He ls a great fellow to get along with people," answered the other man. "No man would of course be put ln a place of such responsibility without Integrity, fair quickness and ability and a good education. But there are scores of men who have all of those qualities, and yet they do not go forward because they cannot exercise authority. If they receive nny tbey either make the men under them cross and restive by petty tyrannies or else they are too good natured and lose the respect of the men, are Imposed on by them and don't get good work out of them. It seems to be the rarest thing in tbe world to find young men who have dignity and keenness enough to maintain discipline and yet enn mnke their sub- ordinntes bear the yoke cheerfully and render good service." A third young man was characterized by the president of a great railroad thus: "1 haven't had a chance to talk with him and find out how much he knows, but I hnve watched blm several times as he manipulated a gang of men, and he has for weeks managed them wonderfully. We have rarely had a man in our employ who could get so much work out of n lot of meu and at the snme time could keep them so decently good tempered."—Independent. LABOR.

The late Senator Vest of Missouri used to say that the hardest question he ever was called upon to answer was put by the Uev. Dr. Styles, pastor of the Presbyterian cburcb at Frankfort, Ky., in which the senator's father and mother held membership. Mr. Vest met the clerglman in Missouri, and the preacher said: "Well, George, nre you yet within the folds of the church, and do you still remember the teachings of your good father and mother, long since dead and ln heaven, wbere I soon expect to Join them? Now, what shall I tell tbem nbout you wben we meet, about your Christian life, your dally walk and conversation?" The senator declared he felt himself growing pale as he walked away without even attempting to reply. Snoring In Church. Sir Archibald Geikle, ln bis "Scottish Reminiscences," says that when ho came to write down tho many good stories and personal anecdotes which he hnd received by word of moutb he wns surprised to find there wus hardly a single one of theni thnt hnd not nl- ready appeared in print, i'or example, tho Scottish story about the man who snored so loud ln church that "he Wakened US a'," he discovered ln sn epigram of the Itestorutlon, nbout a sermon by South: The doctor stopped, began to cull: "I'ruy wuko the Earl of Lauderdale!

He Swaggered OB to Death aa Ha Had Bivaggrri'd Through I.tfe. The O'Gorman Mahon was about eighty years of use when I met him for the first time. One could still see what a lion of a man he bad been. lie was over six feet high. He had still an immense mane of snow white hair, and he had a long, white beard. The face was long und horse shaped, the eyes were still bright and fierce nnd delimit, and the voice had a deep note like the roar of nu enraged lion. The O'Gorman Mahon was tbe very pink of old fashioned courtesy, but one could ensily see what a mnn he had been. He wns the great duelist of his day, a survival of the squires who live in the pages of the chroniclers of Ireland before the Union. He hnd been out dozens If not scores of times, nnd there wus a story of his fighting some three duels all In a morning. It was curious thnt he stuck to the old dueling gospel to the end. I never saw n man so disgusted ns he was when he found that Mr. Parnell would not send a challenge to Sir William Harcourt for some Insulting language which Sir William had used to the Irish chief. I can still recall the scene. It took place at one of the tables In the tearoom of the house of commons. The old warrior turned up at the consultation, looking almost radiant. He sniffed the dueling ground from afar, Some two or three of the then young colleagues of Parnell were present, nnd this Idea of a challenge appeared to their modern minds, of course, ns something grotesque But The O'tlor- 111:111 Million had come In perfect faith that a duel was a certainty, aud his long, horse shaped fnee became visibly longer as Parnell calmly snid that he did not regard dueling as rational or necessary. The old gentleman was too polite to express his real feelings, but the pained silence which followed the announcement of Parnell suQlclen'ly revealed wbat he felt. During the nil night sittings of tbe eighties The O'Gorman Mnhou wns nl- wnys ln his place. He mnde it ulmost n point of vanity never to be absent when any such work was going. He wore the snme suit of clothes winter nnd summer. It was a curious light colored heavy tweed. Somehow or other lt seemed to accord with the white mane and the white beard. He nlso was a great smoker, but lnstend of a cigar he used to smoke the democratic pipe, nnd, if I mistake not, the tobacco was both strong and cheap. He could tell very strange tales of the old days ln Ireland and in mnny other parts of tbe world too. He hnd fougbt In some of tbe many civil wnrs of the southern hemisphere nnd hnd muny marvels to relate of earthquakes, revolutions and other natural and human phenomena in those fnroff regions. I wns with the gnllnnt old fellow within a few hours of his death. Hs died as he bad lived. He was full of the round oaths of tbe eighteenth century, had his drink to the last, Joked about his ninety years, refused nil cou- solutions, tcfapornl or spiritual, nnd swaggered off to death as he often had done to the dueling ground. He was the Isst of a race—M. A. P. Mrs. Tittle— fl'ssfft lt disgraceful the wny those women tnlkeii during the piny lust night? Mrs. Tuttle-Well.

He lt was, ln conjunction with some of the more prominent citizens, who shaped the policy of the paper, which for two years he controlled, until Ill-health compelled him to relinquish the task at which he had succeeded so well, and sell out to the company of which the principal stockholder, promoter and moving spirit was Dr. Willoughby. Mr. Norman recognized that one good newspaper was much to be preferred to, two or more poor ones.

The men who established the Phenix knew exactly what tliey wanted, and set to work to make the newspaper realize their desires. The utmost diligence was used to secure callable corre spondents throughout all the large territory in wliich the town desired to lie regarded as the business centre. The local news was aimed to be thoroughly and brightly covered. And, politically, the paper was to grind nobody's axe, and lo pull the chestnuts of no party out of the lire. The local Board of Trade had much more to do with determlnlg tlie tone and direction of its editorial utterances than had any party leader or any party association. Thus the Phenix was laid down on unusual, and on broad lines. It had clearly defined for itself a sphere of usefulness and activity, and a policy which, if adhered to, could hardly fail to make it a newspaper of paramount influence in the territory In which it circulated. Nothing is more certain than that the Phenix has adhered to the policy it laid down for itself at the time of its establishment, nor that, by so doing, it has achieved one of the notable successes of western journalism. Outside one or two others, no territorial newspaper is more carefully read by the editors of the hig dailies than the Phenix. It contains all the news of its hig district, and it is always put together in a readable, workmanlike manner. Its editorial comment Is temperate in tone, and weigthy in proportion to its moderation. Its typography leaves nothing to be desired, for every issue Is brightly printed. Tho confidence and pride of the Saskatoon business men in their paper is attested by the many columns they take each week to tell of the business news of their stores. Mechanically, the Phenix is an excellent paper—a credit to western- jour ilnlisin in general, to the stuff that gets it out, nnd to the supply house— the Toronto Typo Foundry Company —which furnished the material. The Phenix is owned by a company, one of the principal shareholders being ihe managing director and llu* controlling spirit of the concern. Dr. .lohn Henry Charles Willoughby. His is the personality of wliich the impel- is a reflection, He it was that in ilu* tirst place set the metes and bounds of iis policy, mui it has been be llial hns seen to it that Ihe I'llenix from week to week travelled on the course he had marked out for it. Dr. Willoughby is even more Interesting than his paper, lie has all the personal qualities noted nt the beginning of this sketch, and, naturally, his popularity in nnd about Saskatoon is unbounded. Furthermore, he is a notable and picturesque figure in the life of the Territories. He came to Saskatoon when it was nothing mure llian a name on the map, twenty-one years ago, in 1883. He was then hardly more than a boy, being twenty three years of nge, having been born at Co- bourg, Out., In 'in. In the Interval Im had been educated at Peterborough Collegiate Institute, at Upper Canada College ami a' Vlctorls University, ban graduated in medicine with ilm M D.C.M. degrees, and had taken post graduate courses al both London and Edinburgh. In iss.", there broke mil Hi" Mi tl rebellion in the Northwest, ani througout Hie whole "f II Dr, Wil 1 us surgeon mei pu: veyor-general. He lt was who sent the despatch to the Government, Intimating that the halfbreeds were arming. Dr. Willoughby was the first prisoner captured by Rlel, and on his escape his knowledge of the country caused him to be selected as despatch bearer by General Mlddleton to telegraph-head at Clark's Crossing after the fall of Batoche. In 1887—years before the Renaissance of Saskatoon—Dr. Willoughby removed to Regina, where he at once took a prominent place in the life of the Territorial capital. He was for six years in the council, and in 1892 was elected mayor. He was always, during the whole term of his residence in Reglna, one of the most active members of the Board of Trade. For fourteen years he has been a justice of the peace. In 1900 Dr. Wiillougby returned to Saskatoon. He owned ono half of the town site, and was appointed agent for the trustees of the other half. With the wonderfully rapid development of the town, his real estate interests kept him pretty fully occupied. However, he finds time to superintend a fine farm, in additon to his editorial and financial duties. He had 600 acres under cultivation last season, and owns one of the finest pure bred Ayrshire herds in the Dominion. Combining these multi-phased interests with his medicat work, and to do them all well, It will bo seen that Dr. Willoughby is no sluggard. In point, of fact, ho combines with attractive personal qualities a power of organization, a breadth of view, a range of knowledge, and a systematic industry that mark him as one of the most forceful figures in the life of tho Territories. He is not by training or inclination an editor: yet by bringing to editorial wark a well-thought-out policy, and thoso qualities and attainments that have made him successful In medicine and finance, he has achieved ono of tho most conspicuous newspaper successes in the West. That such should be the case is a tribute to tho opportunities offered by journalism in the rapidly growing West, and an Indication of the sterling judgment and ability of one who bas so well turned those opportunities to account.

FEBRUARY 17, 1905. EDITORIAL OKOl'PINUS. The popular majority of the Conservatives in tho Ontario election is 34,055. Their majority in the legislature is 3G. West Kootejmy last year contributed $327,855 to tlio provincial treasury, being about equal to the contributions of East Kootenay and Yale combined. A financial statement has been presented the legislature, giving the revenue for the province last year as $2,638,260, with expenditures placed at $3,030,237. Inasmuch ns upwards of $400,000 of the outlay was paid on account of the Fraser river bridge nt New Westminster, which sum is chargeable to the loan account of 1902-3, the government claims a surplus of receipts over regular disbursements of $27,000 or more. The opposition are not favoring that view of the matter, but they cannot deny the financial position of the province has been much improved under Conservative administration. Another year should see things work out with more emphasis and clearness. An excellent article appears in this issue upon the future of the dry ore belt surrounding Slocan. The writer thereof ic thoroughly versed iu his subject and the article will be read with interest and profit. It is pointed out that the secret to future prosperity lies in the profitable treatment of the vast bodies of low grade ores possessed by the various properties in the camp. A discussion on the subject is invited and all contributions will be cheerfully accorded space in these columns. A fuller understanding of the riches and needs of the dry ore belt will work to the greater advantage of all, and capital may bo induced to seo in them the avenues for profitable investment. The legislature met at Victoria last Thursday, tho opening ceremonies being marked by no special feature. In his speech from the throne Lieut.-Gov. Joly outlined no specially strong programme, the railway policy beiug hinted at rather than stated. At the outset the province is congratulated on the general prosperity prevailing; then it is stated the finances have Ix-en put on a much sounder basis, that a memorial has been presented to the dominion government demanding liet ter terms, that the Fraser river dyking works have been completed, that methods for railway extensions aro under advisement, that the mining industry is improving, that agriculture has had a prosperous year, that settlers arc increasing, tbat tho fruit-raising industry is expanding, and that amend- incuts will be submitted to the county OOUrt, supremo court, public schools and game protection acts. The >'elson Tribune, in rapping The Dull on tho head for its strictures on the Hall Mines smelter's rates for treating ores from this camp, fails to grasp the distinguishing point iu the case, i.e., dry and wet ores. The strictures passed had to do with the treatment of dry ores, and the figures quoted may ix verified any day by calling ut the otlice of the Ottawa Mines in this tovvij. No denial of those figures have been made by the smelter people, or have the Silver Lead .Mineowners over dealt with the subject. The latter have enough to do guarding their own province, wet ores, but even they find thut by shipping tt) Europe they can get better returns on their product thau at the local smelters. Treatment charges on wet ores havo uot increased since 1(.K)2, but in very truth they are high enough--too high, indeed, in these days of mechanical progress aud me tallurgieul advancement, to bo just to the long-sufferjng mineowner. The Tribune has butted into a discussion. of the subject matter of which it re- , ycals scant knowledge. ' j DRILL POINTS. Pay up your subscription. Tuesday was St. Valentine's day.
