Trail Snialter H«l*»* Out tha Silver-Lea* Mine-Owner*. W. II. Aidredge, manager of the Trail smelter, has Just returned from an extended eastern trip and states that the Canadian smelting works will proceed at once with the construction ofa refinery at Trail ot sufficient capacity to handle the present bullion output of the country, The plant will be to a certain extent experimental,hut as soon as it is shown that sufficient bullion can be obtained to insure its becoming a commercial success it will be enlarged and extended or, possibly, another plant will be built at Nelson or on tbe coast. Mr. Aidredge says that all ot the metal markets have been most unsatisfactory to the mines, smelters and refineries. The fall in lead and silver has affected the receipts of somo ofthe Kootenay lead and silver mines to the extent of $600,000 annually, •comparing tl quotation of these metals in January with those at the present, time. The smelters have nlso lost heavily in buying and selling- on a falling market. The railways and smelters are thoroughly alive to the situation,and while London lend remains at present prices, they will join in making a reduction from $3 to $4 for the coming vear in freight and treatment rates on lead ores. The smelters are willing to reduce their charges providing they can be relieved from the dan- Ser of incurring further losses due to ie decline in metals and as it is generally conceded that thc present price of metals huve nearly reached bottom. To accomplish thi* it is proposed that the prrliiufnnrv settlements involving 90 per cent of the- proeeeds will bu made ass nmi as the rerraltri*/* known at tbe MM*lt-*r,"Tb-> final settlement to be mnde on quo tations for metals 90 days after the preliminary settlement. It is proposed to reduce the zinc limit from 10 to 8 per cent, which would mean that on clean lead ores carrying 40 per cent lead and over tlie total reduction in freight and treatment charges will be $4 per ton, while on ores containing over 8 per cent zinc tiie net re duetion will be $3 per ton. The above reductions in rates will not compensate the mines for their losses in the decline of metals from tho first of 1901 te the present time, but as the quotations for London lead during tho latter part of 1900 and the beginning of 1901 were abnormally high, it is hoped that the mines will tiud it to their interest to continue operations at these figures. The average price of London lead for a number of years has beeu between £12 and £13, and a reduction of $4 a ton of ore is equivalent to $11 A ton of lead, assuming the ere to contain 40 per cent lead and that the smelter pays for 90 per cent. This reduction uf $1 would mako the present lead quotation on the basis ef 1900s rates, £12 9s9d. council will end their spending money limited, the civic assessment should be confirmed, the rate struck and taxes collected without delay. With tbe support ofthe school thrown on tbo city, there is need of every cent in sight, and judicious economy must be the order of the dav nntil such times as tbe citv can feel its wsv. One thing positive, it is in no shape to incur heavy indebtedness for waterworks or electric light just ytt. Yours truly, Eleotor. Slocan, Dec. 81, 1801. civic uovrhnmbnt. Epitor Dhill; Sir,—As ono of those favoring the incorporation of Slocan at the outset, I do not see much reason to complain at tho financial statement read at the council meeting on Monday night, Apparently there have In en no violent squanderings, nnd tho ratepayers can sec for iht'iiiHclvr-B what bas been done. The deficit shown is not large, but there is no justification for including the government refund from real estate taxes as a receipt. The elty has not got the money and are not likely to—at least, not all of it. lt would have looked bettor for the present council to have stood honestly by their record and shown their full indebtedness, rather than to cook up a flossy statement by en- crouching on the funds of tho coming council, llowover.they haven't done too badly, and with the experience gained in 1901 the incoming city council can judge how to ran things for 1902. Iu the first place, there must be no tampering with the publie franchises nnd in the second a new lino of economy must be followed, iu order that the citizens may gain all that la coming to them. With the hotels ro duccd in number, the city will have to rulse tho licenses to tlie $-300 figure per annum. Then the city should be given a police magistrate, so that something may eventuate to tho gen- em! revenue; as also the scavenger business sliould be assumed by the municipality. A road tax bylaw and n combination of the clerk's and polieo departments would give the city considerable money and enable more street improvements to bo car* ricd out. Lastly, m the iueo*alng OTTAWA TO SHIP. Two Carlaad* ot" Rich Or* to ba Rent Out THIS Heath. Mining men eontimtt to be much interested in tho development of tbe Ottawa since the recent marvelous strike therein. Up to Saturday night the drift had penetrated the ore chute 21 feet and there was no diminution in size, while the ore, if anything, was getting richer. A teat sample of the paystreak was sent to tbe Trail smelter and tbe returns showed 1329 oz. sliver, 1) per cent copper and * ofl per cent lead. In the 21,ft driven the average width ofthe shipping ore is 2ft feet ar-" ♦»•<• '...-«.■. * as* sav, the bonders assert, uow represents the value of the entire streak. Another assay upon 37 sacks of sortings from the first class ore gave 222 oz silver. On Saturday RE. Allen was given the contract for doing the packing for the property, the first duty being the breaking of the trail to the mine. Several thousand feet of lumber is being taken op for the building ofa new inesBbonse and ore shed, as the lessees expect shortly to increase the working force. Ore is being sacked up daily and two carloads are to be sent out by the 20th Inst Some of the ore is valued at $1 per pound. Tbe lessees bave become most enthusiastic over their holding and are asking $100,000 for their rights. ORB •—I MSB-ITS rOB TBAR. Both Nelson papers contained estimates of the output of the mines of Yale and Kootenay fer last year, thc Tribune putting the value at 110, 000,000 and the Miner at $13,000,000. The latter's figures, however, are hazy, as, for instance, they give no Slocan tonnage, dividing it up as the Sloean lake and Ainsworth districts. The Tribune's estimate and comments are as follows: Although accurate data ia not obtainable, it is safe to approximate the output of the metalliferous mines of East and West Kootenay and Yale at $10,000,000 for the year 1901. This is a slight gain oyer tho year 1900, notwithstanding the shutdown of the mines at Rossland becaus j of the demand of the muckers for the same rate of wages paid in other camps. The mines of East Kootenay, owing to the fall in tha prices of lead and silver, also suspended operations early in the summer. The losses of Rossland aud East Kootenay aro offset by the gains made in the Boundary and tho Slocan. Close on lo 850,000 tons of ore in all were mined, and theaggrcgate value ($10,000,OOO) shows that the ore averaged over $12 a ton, which is a pretty good average, seeing that the ores ofthe Boundary are low grade, probably the lowest grade of any ores in the world profitably treated by fire concentration. The figures are as follows: TONS VALUE 300,000 $3,000,000 870,000 2,200,000 110,000 1,100,000 30,000 2,400,000 15,000 C00.000 2,800 350,000 10,000 830,000 Rossland Boundary Nelson Slocan East Kootenay Lardeau All other camps Total, 827,800 $10,000,000 Black lluaaar Working. Frank Provest came In from the Blaek Hussar, on the first north fork of Lemon creek, on New Year's dav. He and J. Kadcliff, the owners, have been putting their camp into shape for active work. Thoy have sent up supplies and intend to do considerable development. The main work will be centred on the crosscut being run to tap the lead, which, when cut,will open up a large amount of sloping territory. The property has excellent outoroppings of ore, chiefly galena, and it is looked upon as a shipping proposition. A IUr-.lt.sjr Showing.

With this week's ore shipments will end the exports for the year 1901, sliowing a record unsurpassed by any silver camp in the west, and placing the Slocan City division in the front rank of the province. While in 1900 the shipments totaled 2847 tons,being tho highest on record, those for 1901 reached 6514 tons, making a net in* crease of about 140 per cent for the year. These figures cannot be accepted as final, for when tho Arlington receives Its returns from tbe smelter, it will be found tbnt there is a further increase. For thc portion ofthe week from Thursday morning to the end of December, the Arlington shipped out 2C0 tons and tbe Enter* prise 20, giving a total pretty elose ■there-rrre!. The, firmer has a total of 5-:si* tons for' tl,<* year, almost double the exports for the entire division for 1900. The Arlington is averaging close to 50 tons a day lately, every effort being made to get the ore dewn while the snow lasts. The prospects are favorable for an export of 1200 tons for January, as the Ottawa will have two cars to send out and the Enterprise 100 tons, to be added to the Arlington shipments. For 1902 it is estimated the division will ship 10,000 tons. Last year the exports from this di* vision amounted to 2847 tons, made up from 10 properties. Following is a list ot the shipments this j ear to date: MIX!. YCIK. Arlington 26G Enterprise 20 Two Friends Blsck Prince -_ .

The Goodcnough will pay another dividend this month. Ore from the Ottawa commenced coming into town on Monday. A heavy cave-in has taken place on the Queen Fraction, below Silverton. Two carloads of ore a day is being handled from the Hewett, Four Mile.. The Slocan Star has closed down tight, no reason being assigned therefor. Four feet of clean ore is showing In the winzo below thu No.5 drift on tbe Payne. The introduction of machine drills at the Enterprise is letting out a number of men. Cross & Nathan, lessees of the Duplex, anticipate making a shipment of ore in the spring. The Slocan picked up about 120 tons of ore in two days this week from tho lake shippers. A dividend of $25,000has. just been declared bv tho Slocan Star, being a total of $485,000 to date. During November the Ymir.mine ran 80 stamps for (127 hours, with an estimated profit on working of $19,*- 688. When all the returns are in, tho ore shipments fnr the entire Slocan will round up close to 30,000 tons for last year. If ore shipments from tho lake ports continue to increase, the C.P.K. will have to put on the tug .Sandon to relieve the strain. Geo. Aylwin has struck a four inch, paystreak on the Pontiac, Ten Mile, assays from which are upwards of 200 oz in silver per ton. Another dividend hns been declared by the Rambler-Cariboo, being No. 8 so paid. Regular dividends of one per cent a month are promised for tne future. Two feet of solid galena, assaying 1500oz to the ton, has been struck ou the Silversmith, one of the Slocan Star group. The ore was encountered in a crosscut run to determine tho apex nf the disputed vein of thc Rabbit Paw. The Enterprise management sent the following cable to England last morth: "Mill shut down for nlno days owing to a break In the crusher jaws. Will push this work to every extent In our power.

'Tut It In plain English, If you please."' "Waal, It seems kind of odd that two fellers would be seut down yere by different companies, all at once, to hunt for mineral, specially wben thar hain't no mineral to hnnt for, so I Mowed mebby your company had concluded to send a feller to holp you out a bit" "Two fellows sent down here! Wbat do you mean?" "Jest that Thar's another feller yere besides you." "Who Is It?" "Lord a-massy, I don't know who It Is," "How do you know he's hereT" "Seed him, seed him wltb my own eyes." "WbenT •"Today.-* "Wherer "Right yere." Melvln began to feel uneasy. He didn't like tbe Idea of another tuan coming there claiming to lie a prospector for mineral*-. It didn't bave tho right look, ind It smacked of something wrong. "Did he tell you bis name?*' be asked. "Be told me a name," Turner replied. "A name! Do you tblnk he didn't tell you his own name?" "Lord a-massy, how can 1 tell? You fellers come down yere an say yonr names Is so an so, an how do I know whether you're tellln tbe truth or whether you ain't?" Melvin blushed and eyed tbe old man keenly. Sucb talk made him suspicious. Then he was not easy about tbat newcomer. He wondered If Turner bad beard something to arouse his suspicions. Wben one is In continual suspense, It requires but little to alarm him. Quietly enough, however, Melvln asked: "What name did that man give your "Walte-W-u-l-t-e. He spe.Med It out for me. Said he belonged to the tlrm of Walte & See." "Walte&See! Humph!" •That ain't your Arm, 1 reckon." "No." "Don't know nothln "bout 'em, I guess." "No." "Quare name for a firm, ain't It?" "Rather." "That*a wbat be aaid It was, though I asked blm bis name, an be snlsi 'Walte.' Tben I asked blm wbo In worked for, an be said 'Walte ft See.'" "Humph! Wbat kind of looking man was her' "Putty slick lookin feller—sorter young, sorter tall, sorter dark, sorter slim nn sorter clean shared. 1 mought 'a' found out more 'bout him, but you know I'm pow'ful backwards 'bout askin questions an 'peared like he didn't keer 'bout answerln wbat I did ask." "How came he to tell you that he bad come down bere to prospect for minerals?" "Wby, we got to talkln an runnln on •bout one tblng an another, an I up an mentions 'bout you a-bcln yere, an he asks all 'boui you an 'bout whnt you was <loln yere. When I says you are yere a-smel'in round for mineral, he says, Thi'n I reckon I want to meet that man seeln's we're both on the same line of business.' That's Jest bow be come to mention bis object In comla .yere." Ms*: in was silent a long time and deep!, thoughtful. Tbo coming uf that stranger annoyed and worried blm. Turner's description of the man, though vague and general, suited very mnch to the deserlptlon of one he did no' care to sec, tbe brother of the man whose llfu be bad taken. The claim of the stranger that he, too, had come tbere to prospect for mineral rondo bis appearance all the more alarming to Melvln, for no one knew better than Melvln that no capitalists were going to waste money la useless prospecting In tbat section. That claim would do very well, he thought, to fool tbe natives with, but no one wltb ordinary business sense would believe It for a minute. He waa half Inclined to leave tbe Ridge at once, and hud It not been for Mrs. Ranks be would bave done so. Hf felt that even at the risk of bis life he must remain tbere until be lind succeeded In gaining one more Interview with her. Strange how weak a man, strong In all things else, can be when It comes to woman and love! By and by Melvln broke the silence by saying, "You said that man waa here today, ao I presume he is not bere now?" "Lord a-massy, no! No, sir-eel ne wanted to atop, but we bad no place for blm 'less we put blm to sleep wltb you, an we 'lowed we'd best not do that, seeln's you are so doggoned par tlc'lar." "I'm glad you came to tbat conclusion," Melvln replied, "for 1 certainly ahould bave objected to abarlng my bed wltb any one else." "That's the way I flggered It Too aeem to be 'bout as squeamish ao ex- actln as the feller that stopped down to Squire Hwaou's oncet Ever bear 'bout tbat chap?"

"All the store you'll want, young feller." CHATTER XII. A HASH TtlHEAT. Tap Sampson, coming down the street from the store, saw a woman dressed In musty black leave his bouse as he approached and walk away In the opposite direction.

His illr of assurance wns hardly In accord with his tattered clothes. It was early, and noue of the members was nbout. He rang the bell, aud tbe steward responded. "lt seems good to get back Into the club again," lie remarked, "Yes, sir,*' ntid the steward. "I used to be a member here, but I've had hard luck and can't afford it any longer." "Yes, sir; I'm sorry, sir," said the steward. "By the way, I'm a little short of car fare this morning," said the nervy stranger. "Could you let me have ten cents until I call here again?" Tbe surprised steward renched Into his pocket and handed out a dime. "Thank you," snliTthe man. "Now, I'm also a little hungry, having had no breakfast. Do you suppose you could gather me up a little luncheon?" The steward wus stupefied by such a display of nerve. "And n littlo whisky with a dash of bitters would not go badly with the food." Tho steward fled as one of tbe members entered. Tl.. stranger saw tbe new arrival and rose hastily. "I am too early for my friend." he said as ho walked toward the door. "I will return later."

Tho terrapin is thought to bave much Influence In canning rdeknese, nnd the terrapin disease Is either a rheumatic affliction about the chest and ribs or possibly some pulmonary trouble. The association of lhe terrapin with diseases In this i.rtlon of the body doubtless originates from the fact that thc ribs of the terra;lu nre not free, as In the case cf nost of tlie higher animals, but are united Into one piece. An Ind Ion who wns ill applied for relief to a shn-iiari and wns naked, "Did yen not when a hoy tie strings to the terrapin's tall nnd worry the creature?' Tbe patient admitted that he did. "Well," said tho medicine man, "that Is what Is tbe mutter. It Is tbe terrapin's turn now, an.l the terrapin Is paying off old scores. You have the terrapin sickness, and all your ribs bave grown together and to your breastbone." The shaman administered the proper .remedy prescribed In sucb cases—I forget what It was—and the man thought he was cured. Doing Hla Beet. In tbe early morning 1 went to the postofflce In an Alabama town to Inquire for mall, but found I was linlf an bour too early.

He Spent Miserable Days and Sleepless Nights—Hands, Feet and Limbs Stiff and Swollen. From the Record, Smith's Falls. Ont. "There is a wonderful talk about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, why don t you try them ?" Thesu words were addrt*ssed to Mr. Amdrew Gardiner, o Smith's Fells. Ivy a fris-ml when he was in the depths of d.spondency regarding his physical condition. For three years he bail sulferi'd so much that life had bocomo a t>uideD to him, and oftentimsM he savs hs almost wishe-d that he might die. Then he spent miserable dnys aii.l aisieplaoi nights, now be is enjoying life. Then his feet, hands ur.d limbs Were sUf and swollen and he waa toniu-ntod with a constaat stinging, creepy sensation in his body which gave him no rs*Ht day or night;i now he is as supple as ever he was, wilh the stiffness, the sws'lling and the creepy sensation all gone. He attribute*! it all to the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mr. Gardiner is a man of about 65 yeara, aa old u_d highly respected resident of Smith's Falls. Having heard a good deal of talk about tne improvi-ment effected in hiB health by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, the Record sent a reporter to ascertain the exact truth and Mr. Gardiner told him s»b- st-untinlly what is related above, lie said that he tried a number of doctors—as good doctors as there were in the country—but got no relief. He was given to understand that the trouble wns caused by bad circulation of the blood, but nothing did him any good. He could not wear boots, his feet were so swollen; and vhen he tried to walk his legs felt like sticks. Finally ho was induced to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial, He took six boxes, he said, but did not see that he was much better. He determined to quit taking thi'iii, but was persuaded to continue tbem for a little while longer. \Vhi*n hs* had taken ten boxes he was gieutly improved, and when he had taken twelve boxes he was so well that he did not need any more. It is several months since he has token them and he has had no return of the trouble. When the reporter saw him he was wearing his ordinary boots and he said he could get into and out" of a buggy as well as any man of his years in the country. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the friend 0 thc weak and ailing. They surpass all other medicines in their tonic, sir,ngihs'ning qualities, and mako ws'ak and despondent people bright, active and healthy.

Among the seven wondera of tbe world was the famous statue, wholly made of bronze, historically known as tbe colossus of Rhodes. It represented Fhoebus, tbe national deity of tbe Rhodians. It was begun by Chares, a pupil of Lyslppus, the sculptor, and was completed by Laches 2.S8 B. 0. The popular belief Is that It stood astride the barbor of Rhodes, tbat It was 105 feet high and that ships could easily sail between Its legs. I'liuy said that few men could clasp Its thumb. It was cast ou metal plates, afterward Joined together, and thla process occupied twelve years. In the interior was a spiral staircase reaching into Its head, and In a great mirror suspended to Its neck were reflected the coast of Syria and the ships sailing to Egypt. After It bad stood for sixty-four years this colossus was overthrown by an earthquake, and Its remains lay on the shoro for 923 years—tbat ia, until A. D. 672—when they were sold by tbe Saracens to a Hebrew dealer. The original cost was 800 talents—say, *|G, 000,000—und It Is not too much to say that a aimilnr image might be cou- atructed now in one-fourth of tbe time and at one-third of the original cost. Rhodes, by tbe way, must have bad colossus on tbe brain, for Pliny relates that tbe port was adorned wltb 1,000 colossal statues of the sun. A Clear Case.

Toronto, Dec. 0.—(Special)—The (-real World's exposiUon hs*ld in Paris lust year saw very many visitors from all parts of the globe aaeeffib—d in the ffsiy French capital. Canada was will represented, both as an exhibitor among the aations and as a visitor, many of our best people hav- Ine; attendsd. The inters-sls of thc Dominion were looked iifH-.- by a very capable and Intelligent company of patriotic Canadian**, among whom one of the most conspicuous was Mr. J. ti. Jardine. of 80C Crawford street, this city. Mr. .lursline's duties as Commissioner entailed a vast amount of hard work which made great d.'mamls on his physical health and strength. Ho is authority for the statement that he found Dodd's Krdnoy Pills, that bi'st known of Canadian medi- cines, invaluable as a tonic during these trying times. lie says : "They relieve backache instantly and tone up the system generally as nothing else ssi'ins to do." While in Paris Mr. Jardine introduced Dodd'a Kidney Pills to Mr. Duptlls, the esteemed and popular Secretary to tha Canadian Commia- sion who. was feeling unsler the weather, with the very happiest r» sults to that gentleman.

The Teething I-eriod Dangerous to Little Ones and Very Trying to Mothers. What mother does not look forward with dread to the time when baby shall be teething ? At that time baby is restless, feverish and irritaitle, and frecjucntly there is some disorder of the bowels and stomach. The poor little sufferer is lighting ono of his first battles in this old world of pain, and if not aided in his fight may be overcome. Every wise mother helps the little sufferer as much as she can, and the mothers who have been most successful in this respect have found that Baby's Own Tablets give just such assistance as tho little one needs. Mrs. W. J. Wright, Brockville, says: "I have used Baby's Own Tablets quite reqnently, and am much pleased with them. I find them especially satisfactory during baby's first year. I have used them in teething, in vomiting, in colic, in iredigs'Stion, ansl in the disorders of the stomach and bowels usually accompanied by restlessne?* and fever. The action of the Tablets has always been all that could be desired." Baby's Own Tablets are a sweet, pleasant little lozenire that all children will take readily. They can be crushed or dissolved in water und administered with safety to oven the youngest infant. ('uurantoi*d lo contain no opiate or any of the poisonous stuffs that make the so-called soothing nuxiicinsfl dangerous to little oni-s. If you do not find Baby's Own Tablets at your druggist's. Bend 25 cents to the Dr. Williams Medicine t'o., Brockville, Ont., nnd a box will be sent you by mail postpaid.

ICJJITOKIAI, CROI'FINUS. Wc want no croakers, knockers,or back cappers in the camp during 1902. The Lord knows we had an all sufficiency of the scourge in 1901. Judge your neighbor's prospect as .'you would have your own spoken of. If you do there, will be a peach of a time in the camp this year.- She will .be a hummer. With three large dividends paid last week by as many properties, the Sloean again demonstrates that good .•money can be made by the operation ■of silver-lead mines. Great expansion .wa*; achieved in ,tho camp during 1900 and 1901. There is no reason why it should not be continued in 1902. The prospects are exceedingly bright, Kootenay and Yale have made a .brave record in ore shipments for 1901, tlio estimated value being put at $10,000,003 or over. No hope for the croakers in those figures. The Drill never rubbed elbows or .swapped Sunday school tales with a prophet, yet it ventures to predict that $150,000 will be paid in cash this year for properties in the camp; that ore shipments will reach the 10,000 .ton mark; and that certain works will be undertaken tending to place the burg on a much higher plane of prosperity than it now occupies. Trees are judged by tho fruits thereof nnd mining camps by their -ore shipments. Taking the results of .the Sloean City division for the past two years, tlie dry ore belt is in the .fust class. Talk is cheap, but it is -the tonnnge that convinces. The year just started will have a pleasing tale to unfold in this respect, as shipments are certain to reach the 10,000 ton mark. The financial statement presented : by Clerk Foley at the council meeting Monday night was an encouraging one, and demonstrated clearly . the advantages gained by the town through incorporation. The revenues for the partial year were greater .thanexpected, enabling tbe council .io meet all the expenses incidental to incorporation, pay salaries, purchase supplies and fixtures for the municipal departments.and to partially pay .for the building of sidewalks. It will be seen that the receipts embrace a considerable sum of money for real estate taxes still due from thc government, but that money is uncertain and not likely to yield above 50 per cent of the estimate. Tbere Is a small deficit shown exclusive o*' this, and with the estimated refund added the deficit would be ln excess of $600. Still, tbe city has not had to borrow any money, as the liquor licenses just paid wipe out the deficit and ' leave a handy balance. To offset the expenditures, thcro are the new sidewalks built, the little fire hall and supplies, and the furniture, fixtures and supplies in tbe citv hall. Now, this is an excellent record, fully substantiating all the claims and assertions made by tlie advocates of incorporation prior to last June. In addition incorporation has con .served to the welfare of the citizens all the valuable public franchises such as waterworks, electric light, etc. These in themselves would have been cheaply acquired were the dof- icitrcal rather than apparent and were it ten times ns large. Judged in the light of these things incorporation has been no failure. DRILL POINTS. Subscribe for Tub Drill. Bar silver is quoted at 55J cents an ounce. Wedding bells will be ringing here shortly.

Last year's registrations at the local government office present a reduction on the statement shown in 1900. But there are saving features in connection with them making the situation a great deal better than it seems There is not the same scope here now for prospecting and working miners do lot require licenses, so a reduction in locations and licenses issued is explained. The reduction in assessments is compensated for by the quantity and lasting nature of the work done in 1901. On the Other hand, a true index as to the progress made in the equip is given in the crown grants issued,which increased from 15 to 26, while the transfers jumped from 192 to 2GG. The figures for 1901 were: Certificates of work Crown grants issued Locations Free Miners' certificates Bills of sale, etc. During the previous year ures stood at: Certificates of work Crown grants Locations Free Miners' certificates Bills of sale, etc 520 20 202 288 206 the flr;- 637 15 321 339 192 MIMING RKCOBOS.
