OUTPUT OP "IIINISUAI.. Showing Mn.le by the Frovlnclul Misses Last Year. "-Following is the copy of a bulletin issued during the week by. the department of mines, Victoria, giving the mineral output of the province for 1901: "This estimate is based upon the actual returns of a number of the mines, and for those mines from which returns have not as yet been received, the output is based upon their approximate known tonnage for tho last year, together with the assays of the ores from the same mines fur tlm previous year. You will note that these are' not given as final reports for tho year, which can onlv bo obtained after all the returns are in and checked very carefully. These will be included in the annual report of the department, which cannot be out for two months yet. 1 hand vou these figures now rather than wait for tlie final statistics, as I believe the prompt publication of even an approximate official estimate making so good a showing, will be of benefit to the province, ar.d is gener ally desired by Investors in our mines, "I think you will find this estimate conservative, nnd very approximate, quite sufficiently to show the progress which has been made lo thc mining industry during tiie past year. In calculating the value of the products the usual course has been followed, and the average price for the year in tlie New York metal market has been used as a basis. For silver, lJ5 percent and for lead DO per cent of such market price has been taken. Treatment and other charges have not been deducted. "Roughly "-peaking tlio increase mado in 11)31 over 190 ' is 25 per cent on j*ros* value on iho output of the province. This will b** ah agreeable stirpiis- to niiinv, as the circulation of reports giving a contrary impression fins eau-cd a very despondent view to be taken of the progress oi il.o milling industry during 1901. which does not seem o bu warranted by the facta, I'!.en; is an appreciable sirop in tho placer gold uroduriioi", owing to thc sudden melting of the s.iow last spring causing freshets,and leaving n shortage of water during ing on the previous Tuesday, he would vacato his position so soon as a supply could be furnished by thc presbytery.

The excitement of Thursday's municipal contest had barely passed ere the city was startled by thc news that a man named John McGrath bad been arrested on a chargo of impersonation, he having voted under an assumed name. D. S. McVannel swore out the warrant and acted as prosecutor, McUrath was arrested in a cabin on the river front and came np for hearing on Friday morning before Justices Bull and Folev. It was proven that he had voted under tho name of R. J. Shier, of Fort Steele, a property owner here, McGrath's trial was continued till the afternoon and again next day, being finally sentenced to pay $50 and costs,or two months in jail. On tlie strength cf McGrath's cvi deuce another man, named Thomas Watson, wa3 arrested as an accomplice, tlie latter having made an at tempt to vote under the name of T. Gregor, of Victoria. Watson was,on Monday, riven a similar sentence to Met3rath. As neither prisoner could p.iV his fine, they were taken to Nelson Tuesday by special oflicer Thos. Armstrong. The prisoners are professedly miners and came here some time ago from Sandon, living the best way they could ever since.

Thaa Hard Saurt It is commonly suppowd that the ""*• Of soft wattr — rain water, for example — for washinu purposais es>*rjomizea soap. But while it is par-feet*"* true that the lime s*lu in h*srd water nullify to aotue extent the soap by forming insolsjble lu&e soaps, yet the expenditure of soap at Jea±t in toilet purposes, will he ratad to be consi-lLTabiy i.-as than •viiwi rain water is, i?erl, while the cleansing effect is just as good. The explanation of this is that soap is so very readily .soluble in soft water that (-onisiderably more soap is used than is nes-Assary. Everyoody knows the slippery filing of rain water, in which the "Mads have t>een washed with soap, and iio amount of rinsir.g would appear to remove the soapi-j r>*-is from the skin. In this case tt is oouhtful when soap is used wbeth-' er, aft-vr all, rain water or soft wat-| er, after all, rain water orf soft water is I>e*.t'.T for the complexion or skin than bard tap' water. It is certainly not so re-v frtrsiiing. In manufacturing* pro-, cesses or in the wash tub lt Is true the use of soap in soft water is an •econon,y. Jt is in this way, ef coiir«e. that, the addition of soda, t.r.rivvirig out the lime salt, laves soap It has been estimated that if I»ndon were supplied with soft wat-, cr the saving of soap would amount! to tens of thousands of pounds per annula, and Glasgow is estimated to save JCIO/XX) annually in the joat- V.r of soup since using I»ch Katrine •*.;si,.r. That may be s<o. hut in the matter of personal washing there is a waste of soap produi-od rather than an economy by using .soft water. The- fact that a tablet of soap , disappears much more rjuickly wheo! rain water is used instead of hard tap Wnter is proof of this assertion. Iba Art nt V.i,~.r I'ajsa. Tho art of Itoger Payne was, perhaps, ultimately a product of the extraordinary insiM-tuts that was glvea to the pursuit of book-collecting in England about Uie middle of the eighteenth century. With the demand for fine buildings to encase the trcasun.-s that were being gathered together from every possible quarter, Itoger Payne, in the lan- «unife of u. contemporary eulogist, "rose like a star, diffusing lustre on ull sides, and rejoicing the hearts of all true sons of bibliomania." A filthy, ragged, ale-sodden creature himself, his name, j-erhaps, is still first in the English school of bookbinding, and it was to Payne that Englund owed her final supremacy in the art ln which she had so long contested with Prance for the premier place. His work, as he ex- preassd it himself, was "very carefully nnd honestly done," the tooling especially being very beautiful, and thr; fine and delicate method of ornamentation, which Is so characteristic of his buildings, exceedingly artistic and appropriate. He died in want and distress Nov. '20, 1797. UMTS is a story tsild of the Countess of Silencer's French maid fainting at his unkempt appearance when she saw hiui engaged one day In conversation with her mistress. Lord Bpeooer was one of Payne's chief patrons Itomans Brought Applca to I ssKlansl Of all the prorluctions of the vegs**- table world which the skill and Ingenuity of man have rendered conducive to his happiness and to the In- creitsn of his enjoyments the apple stanils lorwnrsl us iho most conspicuous.

C, Smith, altered at Carey's risoucst. AftaT Carey's death, some controversy on the question havinsr arisen, his son. George Saville Carey, wrote as follows in support of his father's ciaim: "In spite of ail literary cavil and conjecture there has not yet appeared one identity to Invalidate the truth of my father being the author of the above important anthem. Some have given the music to Handel, others to Puree!; some have signified that it wns produced in the time of Charles thc First; others in the time of James the First, and some have dreamed that it made its appearance in the reicn of Henry the Eighth. I have heard the late Mr. Pearce Galiiard, an able .counsellor in the law. and colleague of my father, who died some years ago at Southampton, assert, time after time, that my father was the author of 'God Save the King.' and that it was first produced in the year 1745 or 1740." Mr. Taylor points out that as \l-n- ry Carey died in 174.1 he could have had nothing to do with bringing it forward at the time mentioned, that George Saville Carey, being a posthumous son, could not havo known anything of the matter from his father, and that tlie younger Carey moreover, had a strong" personal interest in confirming thc impression that his father was the author, as he was an applicant for a Government pension of £200 on that ground Thc then current version attributed to Carey was practical identical with that now in use, except for the Introduction of the nntne of the reigning Sovereign in the first line: "God save Great George, our King." An additional stanza, sometimes sung as follows, refers to the Jacobite rebellion of 1745: "I.cnl grant tbnt MirStiol Wails Uuy try Thy MlitUty aid Victory bring »lay Is.' t»>s11tlon Ims'i.

"I do not fiiiil," he suys, "thnt lhe an- t in-ill was evi*r clairnesl by him; nor is it to be found in nny of his own works, nor can I ascertain thnt. it. was ever cnllcd Carey's till nfter 1745. two yeurs after his death."

Extensive quotations are given fr.siii 'lie records of tho Worshipful Company of Merchant Tailors, with the object of proving that the anthem was first produced on thc occasion ol the entertalnrnfcnt to King James I., before referred to, tbe words being composed by Dell Johnson, the poet laureate, and tbe music by l)r.

A comparison i'f (be second verse of tbe anthem with the expressions of the prayer tsuavcs little room fur doubt that tbe one tu suggested by the other, and tbat they were In .til composed with refet/ence to thc- sumo event. Tiie music of Dr. Hull's composition, und<*r the title "Cod Save the King," is not extant, but if the obvious contention that the verses were produced at about the same period, with special reference to the gunpowder plot, be aslniitti-d. the probability that the air of which he was thc author is substantially that of our present national iinihcm is at least a very strong one.

THERE TH NO BETTEB YOUTH RESTOkREH THAN DODD'S KIDNEY Pli_fl. Hr. H. S. Barnes, Seventy-Five Years of Age Deels Young and Smart as a Iloy—Used Dodd's Kidney Pills and Di',1"ghttd With the Results.

Be is the father of vx-Mufyor Barnes, and no old gt-nHe- man in Rat Portage is more estccmexl and respeetMi. Air. Barnes is ono of the many conscientious and lilnorul- mittded citizens of this Dominion who have no hesitation in allowing their names lo be used for the benefit of othsTs in connection with cures made by Dodd'a Kidney Pills in their behalf. Here is a letter showing Mr .Barnes' experience with the greatest remedy of the present day—Dodd's Kidney Pills. Rat Portage, Juno 18th, 1899. Gentlemen,—I would like to make the following statement for the benefit of whoswr would like to hear the truth told. I am 75 years old, and have lived in Itat Portage for the past, 18 yOarn. Some months ago niy wifo nsked me to got her some Dodd's Kidney Pills. She was Buffering from somo kidney trouble, nnd desir.d to try Dodd's Kidney P'lls. I finally got her a box, but she never lived to take them. Slaving little faith in patent medicines, I however, was soon forced to change my opinion. I had long been neglecting Mmliar symplotnis to those of my wife;*, these now became wary severe. Having the box of Dodd's Kidney Pills in the house, I thought I might as well try them. I suffered terribly with pain across my back with a scalding sensation when urinating. Well, the first box stopped these symptoms, and cont inning their use I became complettcly cured. All the citiaclns of Rat Portage were greatly surprised at the change in my appearance, I can tell you. They often ussd to greet mo with, "Hello, Mr. Barnes ! Why how smart you are looking !" They were not far astray; I felt smart, too, and younger and in bet- publish this statement with my full endorsation of your remedy which possesses real genuine merit. H. S. BARNES. If you want to make your enemies feel particularly sore, be happy. Even the man who sings bass may be high-toned. Alleged peacemakers are sometimes little better thnn busy bod ies. Thero never wa3, and never will be, e universal panacea, in oue icmtdy, for all till to which flush is heir—tho very nature ot many curatives being such that wore tte germs of-other and dillorently seated diseases rooted in tho system of tn) patient— what would robe, j one ill in turn would aggravate the other. We have, however, in Quinino Wine, when obtainable in a sound, unadulterated state, a remedy for many an-;! grievous ills. By its gradual and judicata? uso the frailest systems are led into conva. luscence aud strength by the influence which Quinine exerts on nature's own restoratives. It relieves the drooping spirits of thoso witli whom a chronic state of morbid despondency and lack of interest in life is a C'iseusc, and, by tranquilixing the nerves, disposes to sound and refreeliing sleep—imparts vitro;- to tho action of tho blc<5d, which, being stimulated, courses throughout tlio veins, •strengthening the healthy auimal function: of tlio system, thereby making activity n r.ccesssary result, strengthening thc frame, and giving life to tho digostivo organs, which nuturally demar.d increased subataneiD—result, improved appetite.

KI'ITOHIA*. "JKOPFINUS. Frank Fletcher won the mayoralty contest in Nelson, but his opponents gained the control of the council. It was a victory for the men who be Jieve in the municipality owning tho public franchises. British Columbia's mineral output Jast year was valued at $20,000,000, being an increase of 2.r> per cent over 1900. Tho remarkable increase is 4lie more satisfactory because of the country being smitten with a scourge croakers. Death has for a third time claimed the chief justice of the province, his lordship Mr. Justice McColl dying at Victoria last Thursday night, after a short illness. First was Sir M tthew Baillie Begbie, next lion. Theodore Davie, and now Mr. McColl, and all within a few years of each other. . i ' . ra —r- F. P. Davis, K.C., Vancouver, has ..been recommended by the provincial .bar for the position of chief justice of British Colombia, made vacant by .the death of Mr. Justice McColl. Mr. Davis is considered tho leadinc legal light in the province,as well as being •ne of the fairest minded of men, to his elevation would be popular. Canada's population has been officially announced at 5,369,CCO, an increase during the decade of 530,42G. As a result of tho censas, Manitoba will be given three new members in the Commons, the Northwest Territory two, British Columbia one, and the Yukon Territory one. Ontario will lose six members and the mari time provinces four. Next Friday the Liberals of the province will meet in convention at Vancouver, to decide upon the adop tion of party lines in B. C. politics. The proposed convention is regarded as an important step in the progress .of public thought, and the line of action thero decided on will havo its impress upon future legislation at Victoria. There aro many who profess to see in party politics the salvation of B.C. from tlie machinations of the family compact on Vancouver Island, which has so long dominated public affairs; and that partyism wil; .impart confidence to business circles. True, individual actions and responsibility would be made subservient to party wishes, but there would be just the same question of ins and outs as at present existing, with the same dividing of tho spoils. On the other hand, there are again those-and their numbers are inereruiiog—who maintain that this young province needs a party with a hue of uction stronger and purer than can be imparted by the traditions of either of the old parties of the east. B.C. Is .essentially the land of the toiler and in his struggle for existence the latter knows neither ("rit nor Tory. To appeal to him you must find him congenial influences, with a platform suitable to his needs, nnd these are at his disposal in the Independent Labor party, which is emphatically n western product and well calculated to alleviate the sufferings of the people generally. As nn organization tho Independents control great political inlluonco and will, ultimately, control the reins of power. The Liberal convention and notions will in no way weaken the Independents, but rather assist them in their propaganda, a fact that will beconio apparent in an election following a re distribution of seats for the legislature.
