In Denver, Culoraslo. A new process for this treatment of ores has been discovered and the machines therefor patented. Briefly Correspondence read: Prom City statwl lll() method consists in bringing a mass of ore particles into contact with a statically charged metallic Surface, Sueh particles as possess relatively high Conductivity tire instantly repelled while those of low conductivity uro not repelled until sullicient time has elapsed to allow them to In: pulled out of their original path and caught in a separate re- ceptacle, thus effecting a separation from the conductors. For a considerable period prior to the issue of these patents a machine had been in successful operation in Detiver, working on miscellaneous ores, and in many cases with notable results. This machine has since lieen simplified and compacted and the details improved until it is now doing satisfactory mill work. It is found bv experiment that most of the sulphides and many of thiol her compounds of valuable metals possess high conductivity, while the gangue consists largely of non-conducting material such as quart/, lime, etc. There aro exceptions on both sides : The compounds of zinc for example, are non-conductors, thus allowing a separation to tie mads* between pyrite, galena and ehalesipyrite on the one side, and zinc blend on the other, with no preliminary roasting, dryness lieing the only requisite. Magnette a ud pyrrhotito may also be separated from blend. Solictor •lorand.-stnling that the council had full power to pass an early closing bylaw ; also that Uie council could pass a rate bylaw, but advised delay until after the estimates had been passed. Aid. Arnot gave notice that next week he would bring in au early closing bylaw. Aa argument ensued upon the question of raising the first $1000 required under the mill aid bylaw, the mayor holding that next year's council ought to raise the money, as it fell due on April .5, 1904. Tlit* solicitor was uncertain on the point, so his letter was laid on the table pending further information. The Koyal Bank, Nelson, wrote, acknowledging receipt of the city's debentures, and calling attention to the alteration of the date without tho same )>oiug initialed- also that the draft larked ondorsation. Mayor York held that the endorsation was not necessary. A letter was read from the Bank of Commerce, Nelson, asking when F. Fletcher's money for the millsite would be paid over. Koyal Bank's letter filed and action on the other epistle deferred. Returning Oflicer Bentley reported that no nominations for an alderman had lieen made on the liith. Filed. Aid.

Board of Triiili) Petitions Goves'issssent to Ko-eoiiHlslei-Tlsi'li*' Action. A wave of indignation has swept the province against the Ottawa government for making no provision in the tariff to benefit the silver-load industry, and protests by the wholesale are lieing wired to the capital. On Wed ncsdtiy the local board of trade held a meeting to discuss the situation, resulting in the following telegram being sent to W. A. Galliher, M.F., and Hon. Mr. Fielding.minister of finance: "Board of trade, Slocan, deprecates indifference of government on silver- lead question and strongly urges reconsideration of subject, in order to give relief asked for by mineowners." Work at Use Enterprise. The operations at the Enterprise conducted under the lease held by Pat McGuire are proceeding in a satisfactory manner, there being now 18 men on the payroll. It is the intention to add more men to the force as room is found for them. The result of the work is seen in the 20 tons of ore sent out this week to the Trail smelter, to lie followed next week by another carload. Tho ore is being taken from the No. 4 workings.

Dr. Kendall look a seat by tbe tied, and without appearing to do anything particularly Important he determined with great thoroughness tbe coudition oi* his piillent. Nol ull that be observed would be comprehensible by a layman. The most couspicuoiis feat ure tn the rase was the Improvement of Elsie's ■spirits. She spoke cheerfully to Breu- il.i uud seemesl to have acquired In bo short a time u certain depeudeuce upon her. 'Mien, almost as she was speaking, her eyes closed, ber bands upon the white coverlet relaxed, and she fell •sleep. Kendall and Brenda watched her lu silence for a moment while the professional nurse, who hud remained iu attendance, adjusted tbe shades upon tbe electric lights. "While she sleeps," whispered Bren da, "I would like to telephone to my father. Dr. Johnson told uie that Mr. Alden Is probably still held ut the station. He in nsi be or he would be bere. My father must try to secure his release. By the way, of course Miss Miller asked for hlm'/" "For Mr. AldenV Yes," replied Kendall. "What did you tell ber?" "We said that he had sent ail sorts of kind messages nnd that be received constant reports from us, but that she must not ask lo see bim before tomorrow." "Did sbe plead to see blm at once?" asked Brenda. Kendall hesitated fora moment while they were passing silently out of the room. "Miss Miller Is a very obedient patient," be said. "No one could give less trouble." "Well?" rejoined Brenda. "Please proceed." "1 don't quite understand.'* "You have something more to say." "It occurred to me," said Kendall slowly, "that she exhibited less anxiety to see Mr. Alden than I should bave expected." This statement seemed to furnish Breads with abundant food for thought. She snid nothing as they traversed the long corridor, and Ken- dull also was slleut After Bremln hud sent the message to her father she conferred with Kendall lu regard to her remaining In tho bospitul as '•'Isle's uurse anil then dispatched her maid under James' escort for bucIi things ub she would need. The departure of •'the servants left Brenda aud Kendall alone In the reception room. "I wish you would tell me more about Miss Miller," said she. "I cannot understand why she should uot bave wished to see Mr. Alden." "I did not Buy thnt," responded Kendall. "It was her manner that struck uie ok peculiar." "She seems as unaffected and impulsive as a child." said Brenda. "1 can Imagine ber asking for Mr. Alden as naturally as If he had beeu a drink of water." "That Is precisely what she did not do." said the doctor. "Let nie tell you just what huppi'iii'd. When she was brought to the hospital, she was unconscious. For certain reasons we took her to the room where she now Is. though tbut would not have been the ordinary course. While I was making my lirst examination of the wound she began to revive, and 1 believe that Bhe regained the full command of ber faculties withlu a few minutes. It Is uot always possible to suy Just wheu a patient's mind becomes effectually clear, but I am perfectly sure that Miss Miller's was wide a.vake some little time before she chose to let that Tact appear. "You must remember that we overestimated tbe gravity of the wound and Indeed were expecting tbe worst at any moment. Considering the nature of tbe case, It was Important to question ber Immediately. I asked ber wbo bad Inflicted tbe Injury, and I know that sbe beard and understood mo as well as you do now, but sbe mado no sign. After ber tlrst view of tbe place, wblcb sbe must bave recognised as a room tn a hospital, she closed ber eyes, and I think It must bave been a matter of five minutes before Bbe opened them." "Thinking," said Brenda, "thinking, thinking. Poor child!" "Though sbe ls obviously abnormally sensitive to pain," Kendall continued, "she bore wbat bad to be done wltb tbe fortitude of a Christian martyr. I made up my mind after awhile that a miracle bad protected ber and that she bad a chance to survive; therefore 1 ceased to ask questions, deciding to let ber take her own time. Wben sbe spoke, It was not In reply to me, and sbe seemed to address no one. 'I am going to die,' sbe said, and then Bhe began to cry very softly, as you saw her* a few mlButass ago. I replied that 1 did not tblnk so, but she shook ber bead, murmuring something about tbe grief of ber mother, wbo could not come In time to see ber. I asked for tier mother's address and was Informed by a police sergeant wbo bad Just been admitted to tbe room, coming under orders from Captain Neale, tbat Mrs. Simmons, tbe landlady, bad telegraphed to Mrs. Miller. "The sergeant tben came lumbering up to the side of the bed armed with a notebook and a pencil. Witbout wait- | Ing for him to put a single question Miss Miller told her story of the crime as I told It to you. She had stepped out upon tbe veranda and bad almost Kendall and Uremia watched her in si lence for a moms'iif. Immediately re-entered the room by tbe eastern window. She neither saw nor heard any one. Beyond a confused memory ol' a sharp aud terrible pang, sudden,unexpected and probably meaningless, because the mind is darkened before tt can comprehend, shu can recall notblng. Tbere was very little for tho sergeant to put down lu his notebook." "Did be believe her?" asked Brenda. "Yes; I tblnk the sergeant did," replied Kendall, with a Blight emphasis ou tho noun. "At least tbo only Indication of doubt be gave me was to ask me In tbe corridor afterward whether thc wound could bave been self Inflicted. I told blm to dismiss the idea, and he seemed to have no difficulty in doing so. It Is not, at tbe Urst glance, a physical Impossibility, but practically It Is precisely tbat" "Suppose sbe should say that she did It," said Brenda. "Witb apologies to Miss Miller," responded Kendall, "1 must tell you that that would not affect my opinion In tbe least If she bas any desire to shield the guilty, sbe cannot do ll lu that way." Brenda's keen gray eyes searched the physician's face. "Do you believe tbat?" Bbe demanded "Frankly," said Kendall, "my opinion Ib that Miss Miller knows perfectly well who did tbis deed." "And her motive for concealment?" "I leave that to h**r own heart." was tbe reply. "Yet ii would seem that there could be but one." "A motive of the heart," said Brenda. "Do you realize tbat tbls amounts to an accusation?" 'Then let us not speak of It any more," said Kendall. "Let us get back to Mr. Alden." "We bave already done bo," she Bald; but tbe doctor would not be drawn Into sucb an admission. "After the police officer had gone," he resumed, "Miss Miller asked me whether a note addressed to ber bad been found In ber room. I answered yes, and then she Inquired whether Mr. Alden bad been Informed of ber misfortune. Fearing to excite ber, 1 Bubstltuted for the troth the fiction that I Just outlined to you, and my poor little patient merely sighed. She did not ask wben sbe could see Mr. Alden nor mention his name again in any connection." "From wblcb you Infer"—* "Nothing whatever," Insisted Kendall. "Yon do not trust me." said Brenda, not without bitterness. "You believe Mr. Alden guilty of tbls frightful crime, and you dare not say so in my presence for fear that I may not be discreet aud you may be put Into an unpleasant position." "I could scarcely be put Into a position more unpleasant tban tbls one," said Kendall earnestly. "I want to tell you the exact trutb about—about everything that I know or Imagine, aud It Is deadly hard to do It when you look at me us If I were nn enemy. This Is as near as 1 can come to an accurate expression: Miss Miller's manner convinces me that she Is shielding the assassin, and tbere Is no known reason why she should shield any one else than Mr. Alden." "But why not take the perfectly easy alternative that she is telling the truth?" "I will," said Kendall, "If you wish mo to." "I am very serious," said Brenda. "This Is a promise you are making?" "It Is," replied Kendall, his face flushed and his voice not quite steady. "it ls my word of honor given to you, and bo twice sacred as the word of a friend," be added. "You were good enough to say that we were friends two years ago." "I have better cause to say It now," she replied. "Let me hasten to prove my sincerity ln the usual way, by burdening you with a confidence. You must be wondering at me." "Why?" I "Because I am here." "It Is a flue tblng," said Kendall earnestly. "So much I know." "I will tell you more." rejoined Brenda, "and lt will make you tblnk better of Mr. Alden. Tbls tragedy of today Is a revelation to me, but not of tho kind tbat you suppose. Mr. Alden had not concealed from me tbat bis heart bad been won away, but I did not understand. Ho told me of Miss Miller's existence two months ago, but I would not bear all he wished to say. He Intimated that he bad begun to regard her with feelings tbat made his engagement to me dishonorable. I viewed bim with pity," snd Brenda laughed very softly and witbout mirth. "I was so Incredibly Ignorant of everything outside my own sphere that I could not Imagine tbe existence of sucb a woman as lies now ln that room out there. "Clarence aaid she waa an actress, and be looked at me as a majt npon tne defensive, i ean soe hlm now. I pictured a siren, a creuturo grotesquely unworthy, appealing to his wild and reckless nature witb tbln artitlces that would be clear as glass to him when be should view them with a dispassionate eye. Truly, I was only sorry for blm, ashamed of him a little, yet very anxious to help blm. It seemed to me that breaking our engagement would be the very worst thing that could happen to him, and so I refused to consider the woman at all. One meets men in society, Dr. Kendall, whose well known ways of life have an unfortunate tendency to pervert women's Ideas ln sucb matters. We admit tbe existence of certain persons whom we see In the park wltb elegant equipages, but we cannot consider them aa rivals." "But surely be spoke of ber with respect," said Kendall. "Absolute." replied Brenda. "but*l thought blm tbe more a fool. He said one evening, I remember—and It was only a very short timo ngo—tbat Miss Miller cared notblng for blm and never would. 1 was merely convinced by bis sincerity that tbe woman was pluylng a deep game, and I swore by such gods as I have that 1 would save him from ber. And so It went on until last evening, wben bo sent me a note wblcb mado it Impossible tbat our engagement should continue. It was only a frank, honest statement that bis heart had passed utterly out of bis control. I can see now that he could have done no better, but I did not take the right view at tho moment Perhaps it was because I had heard that day for the first time tbat Mr. Alden's engagement witb me was of the highest Importance In bis business affairs. If he had allowed It to continue for tbat reason- But be had not It was really all my doing. "However, to continue, I went to his office today because I was Impatient, and I told him tbat the engagement was at an end. Tbat was ln ten words. And tbe loss of me, Dr. Kendall, affected blm so little. He was obviously so wrapped tn an Impenetrable happiness tbat I lost my temper for tbe first time In a good many years and cut short the Interview. Ob, we were perfectly courteous to each other, and when we parted—most unromantically, with an elevator man rattling the catch of tbe door to make me hurry — we shook bands upon a vow of friendship. But I was ln a shameful rage as I left tbe building. "I went up town as far as the shopping district and wandered aimlessly In the stores. Then I got upon a street car, preferring it to tbe loneliness of a cab. And so It bappened tbat a newsboy thrust tbe story of this crime Into my face. Tbe paper was wet from the press—printed and upon tbe street within balf an bour after tbe discovery of the crime. A reporter must bave been right upon tbe scene by accident and have rushed to his office Immediately. "Let me confess my own folly. In tho very first Instant I feared that Mr. Alden might have struck the blow. It wns sheer madness. I was overwrought by tbe excitement of tbe afternoon, and, remember, I then pictured Miss Miller aa a desperate and scheming woman, one whose real nature was likely to be revealed to Mr. Alden In an Instant by an unguarded word. What mad scene might follow, who could say? There might have been some sort of struggle. Sbe might have turned the knife against herself, meaning to strike blm. Impatience smothered me. I must know nt ouee, and, besides, I bad a deadly longing to see her—to see the woman who had wrecked a life tbat was dear to me and lost her own In doing It "My Urst awakening was In her room.

"But why ls she so anxious to bo prominent In society?" "Because she wants to go on the stage.". Historic Conflagrations. A list of great cities burned would be a list of nearly all tlie great capitals of the world. PersepollB, the splendid residence of a long series of rulers whose tributary provinces extended from the Indus to the Hellespont, was burned, with all its palaces and temples; Babylon and Carthage were bo utterly destroyed that their very location has become a matter of doubt. Rome was burned eight times, Jerusalem four times, and, though they rose from their ashes, Tht second temple la not like the first. Athens, Syracuse, Bagdad, Alexandria und Antloch now exhibit only a shadow of their former grandeur, Tlie Phoenicians, like the Sparttins and Assyrians, disappeared with the ruin of their capitals, but the most fateful conflagration recorded In the history of the world ls perhaps that of Moscow. "They talk as if the fate of Europe hnd been decided at Waterloo," says De Bourlenne in his memoirs of the first empire. "If Napoleon hnd beaten Wellington and Blucher ti dozen times, It could not have retrieved the reverses of the three preceding years. The trutb Is thut the French Crosnr and his fortune were ruined by the burning of Moscow. Thnt city was the funeral pile of the grent ntitlon." Man More Mqald Tban Solid. Every fiber and every cell that enters Into the formation of a living body ls bathed in moisture, by which meuns alone these ultimate elements are kept alive and ure enabled to carry out their duties. Even the bones, which appear to be the most solid of all, owe more thau half their weight to tbe presence of fluid. That our bodies contain a large amount of fluid ls proved in a striking manner by the blisters which rise after the infliction of a burn. Water, in fact, plays a very important part in the bunion anatomy, for lt ls through its agency that the vital processes of digestion, absorptloB and the excretion of waste products are carried out To reduce the whole matter to figures and taking 154 pounds to be tbe total weight of an average full grown man, it is said that water alone accounts for 100 pounds of the whole. Wanted a Chinese Sons. Most of tbe policemen iu Australia are Irishmen, whose genius for humorous blundering loses nothing of Its quality under the Southern Cross. Here ls au Instance: Many Chinese names are reminiscent of a burlesque and are probably merely barbarian caricatures of the originals. Of these Fong Fat Ah Su and Ah Foo are the most common. A newly appointed crier In n county court wns ordered hy the Judge ln a case lu which a Chinese was witness to call for Ah Song. The son of Erin looked puzzled and darted a look ut the bench to try to discover if this wns a colonial Joke; but, ses'ing the Judge us grave us an undertaker, he turned to the audience and blandly Inquired, "Glntleinen, will nny of you favor his honor with a song?" Why Urass (.rows Hollow. The stems of grass and oats are usually hollow, and the knots of nodes whieh occur nt intervals nnd which have a peculiar degree of firmness, derived from the interlacing of libers, give them a firmness nnd strength which they wouisl otherwise lack, If the material of wheat straw were ln n solid form, it would make but a thin wiry stem, which would simp with great ease, but in the hollew form, with the intervening knots, the necessary support is afforded.
