'■ lr,% '"•>:xkxkk^^ Much talk has from time to time agitated Slocan min ing circles respecting works to be erected near at hand, to treat the ores of the camp on nu economical and profitable bads. Concentrators were lirst installed, being from time to time remodelled or abandoned. Then came schemes for the treatment of one ores, plants being successfully established in connection with the Payne, Ivanhoe and Sloean Star mills. Still later came the announcement of a more ambitious zinc enrichment project for Rosebery by the Monitor people, who are to commence construction this month. It is believed tliis may eventuate iu zinc and lead smelting works of large proportions. Ou top of these schemes came the intimation that the Sullivan people would complete their smelter at Marysville, and enter the Slocan market for wet and dry ores. But, of still greater import tothe camp is the fact that a German syndicate purpose erecting a .smelting plant in one of the Sloean towns, yet to be announced, for the treatment of the ores of the various sections of both mining divisions. Phil Hickey, manager of the Ivanhoe, was here last week, and to The Drill man stated he had had Dr. Sustmau, the well known metallurgist,up at his mini.1 for two days making a careful examination of the ore bodies and taking samples. The doctor is similarly examining all the mines of lhe eamp. Mr. Hickey stated tbe doctor's visit was for the purpose of sizing up the camp's tonnage, with a view to'estab- 1 ihing Uie works mentioned. Tie] men backing the venture ar i engaged | in the metallurgical business in Eur- j ope, but have not as yet eat ibliahed themselves in this country. Thev litei I ;.i take the zinc-lend ore, direct from! the mines and treat theni at th"ir own j smelter, p.tying the minoowner New York Quotations for silver nnd load and inflicting no penalty for zinc. The' company, however, would rotaiu all| zinc values as their own, to dispose ol! lor themselves. As New York quota- j tions have never been obtained here for lead, the advantage to the camp would be simply immense. In addition to all this, Dr. Sussmiu informed i Mr. Hickey that the freight and treatment charges on the ores wonld | b • in the neighborhood of •*>) per ton another huge Leuefit. Of course, it l.iuaii.s to be seen whether or uot this new project materializes, but at any rata it would seem that the day of small things, so far as the local smelters are concerned, is about over. Spirited competition by numerous smelters and enhanced prices shoulil assist that lead bounty to stir up things in the Sloean. ('lurk on ll.inpitiiU. Last week's Gazette contained a lengthy notice respecting the payment of provincial monies to hospitals. In addition to any register kept by the hospitals, it shall be the duty of the matron, or the nurse in charge.to keep u register of all patients admitted to and staying in the hospital from day to day; and such register, which shall show'the name, date of admission.and disease for which each patient is treated, shall be certified to by the matron or nurse, at the end of each month.

Improving; tha* Telegraph, On Friday a construction gang of lo men, accompanied by a Chinese cook, arrived over from the Arrow lakes aud pitched their tents at the foot of Arthur street. They are here for the purpose of improving the Cl'. tt. telegraph system along Slocnn lake by placing the wires on poles instead of trees. From the depot the poles follow Lake avenue to the bluffs and thenee skirt the lake shore. The first few miles is very rough work, owing to the big blulls. The task will take about a month. near the Arlington sawmill camp, and upon which an encouraging striko was made last week. They have a substantial six inches of ore, which gives paying returns.

The strike made by Ralph Gillette and his partner ou the Colorado, on Twelve Mile, is turning out overy bit as good as expected, and is by long odds the liest thing on the creek. They have drifted in 30 feet on the ore body, which runs from 16 to 30 inches in width. One small streak is mostly gray copper and assays 1300 oz in silver. No ore is being broken other than that in drifting, yet the Owners hope soon to ship a carload, from which it is expected the smelter returns will be above 4 K) oz. When the carload is oompleti d. another drift will bs started lower down the hill. giving plenty of room for stoping.

It con- nine 1 2612 oz of gold, 3600 oz of silver, and 172,800 pounds of copper. Estimated profit on this ore, after dj- dncting all expenses, $7760. Expended on development during the month $4503. Ulg Strike on tht> St. Kngeue. An imposing and important strike of ore was made at the St. Eugene, at Moyie, last week, the ixxly carrying higher value in silver than anything yel struck in the mine. This was first encountered in making an upraise from the No. 1 tunnel, the lowest tunnel on the St. Eugene, 1000 feet in and 1000 feet below the surface.

On Friday afternoon were held the closing ceremonies at the public school, previous to ndjourning for the midsummer vacation. The exercises took place in Principal Hindle's room, which had been chnrmingly decorated with flowers, plants.and shrubbery for the occasion. More citizens attended than nt anv similar function in the history of the school, while tho exercises themselves were uniformly successful. Illustrations of class work were given, revealing to the parents the systematic manner of the staff in imparting knowledge to the children. A pleasing programme of singing, readings, recitations and dialogues followed, those participating being: Wesley Gething, Nellie Terry, Daisy McCallum, Wesley Baty, Effie McVicar, C. Tipping, Harris Ross, Wonetta Tipping, E. Graham, F. Tutcher, C. McCallum, Alma Baty, Lizzie Rae, E. Tipping, Josephine Mason. The average attendance during the past term increased to about 55, and the record of the various classes in the school was also lietter. TIMKLY WO lilts. Editor Drill: Sir, Tho inspector's annual report re Slocan public school, published some time ago in The Drill, was one of which auy school might be proud few schools iu B.C. received as good a one. Tho trustee board and the general public have shown a firm resolution to support and encourage the principal iu the performance of his duties. The closing exercises of the school have lieen the most successful and largely attended in its history. Yet, I close the year's work with feelings bordering on despair, with a conviction that under all this apparent success there lies hopeless and irretrievable failure, unless something can be done to offset the evil influences that have, to a largo extent, nullified my work during the past six months. Night after night, as I sat correcting exercises, or planning how best to present the lessons of the coming day, there have come to my ears, through closed doors, theuuearthly screams of the future men and women whom I was preparing myself to instruct on the morrow this, too, at hours when the children in any well regulated boms are, or should lx>, in bed. Day after day I have fouud many times a majority of the school pupils unable to do justice to their school work, for the simple reason that their physical and mental powers had been exhausted in the exciting, and, in some cases, unseettily.scenes of the previous night. The children are not ouly destroying their health iu this way. "but are contracting habits that will forever debar them from holding positions of trust and responsibility. It is universally admitted that children must be allowed time for play and occasionally, sav once a week, a night out; but it is also recognized by all persons of judgment that a limit should Ik* set, and that even in play conduct should In: somewhat becoming. There is a time when female pupils are school girls, and when their chief concern should lie to advance in their studies. Later, they become .young ladies, whose whole time and attention are devoted to the choosing of, or of being chosen by, a life-partner. Now, when a vouug lady has arrived at this Stage, lier parents make a mistake in sending her to tlie public school. Books to bo mastered require all her time; Iwnux require not only her time but her heart and soul. In a case of liooks vs lienux, beaux win out every time. Geo. Hindle, B.A. Slocan, June 25. Will not be IMiallowed. The dominion government has decided not to disallow the act, passed bv the B. C. legislature last session, securing certain settlers within the Island railway belt surface and under the surfaoe rights. The Esquimalt & Nanaimo railway applied for disallowance, on the ground that the act interfered with the company's rights in the lands conveyed to it by the dominion government. In the opinion of the minister of justice, it was within the power of the province to pass the net. The legislature has undertaken to assert the claims of settlers by paying the cost of litigation.

PASCHAL ...Copyright, HXX1, by T. C. McClu.e... "Oh, I beg your pardon!" she gasped as tho car, jerking over new sinuosities of track perpetrated by the repairs, threw her bodily like n luscious wind- fallen peach Into the lap of a young mnn who was buried In the day's newspaper. He looked np amusedly ns she g.ith- ered herself from Ills saving embrace nnd the total wreck of his paper; then he arose hastily. "Take my seat," lie said courteously, with hat nllft nnd the faintest twinkle ln his eyes. "You will tind It more eonifortsible-if I don't." The ambiguous words sounded ungracious to the girl's first confused tbought, and s' j hesitated, Bnt one glance into the frankly admiring eyes nnd another repair serpentine decided her. She sank with more haste than grace into the proffered sent, while her preserver stooped to recover her dropped purse, hnndkerchlef and other ■cattered properties. Sho rewarded hlm with smiling thanks, then turned her anxious attention to tho moving panorama of rain deluged streets outside. The problem ln economics as to how she should reach her home, two long cross town blocks from the car line, Innocent ns she was of umbrella or rubbers, began to absorb her mind. She only vouchsafed one brilliant, perplexed glance upward at tho fellow passenger who for her sweet sake was submitting himself to tho modern Inquisition of "banging by a strap till dead." But ln that Instant of wireless telegraphy he perceived hor thought nnd resolved accordingly. So he rode on past bis club block nfter block till his fair vls-a-vls, having made up her mind to run If not for her own life for that of her new laco lint, signaled tho conductor nnd got off tho enr. Grasping the voluminous fluffery of her silken skirts ln both hands, she poised for flight, when a deep voice addressed her ln nn extremely respectful tone: "We seem to be going tho same way, and you hnve no umbrella. Won't yoo share mine?" Fragments of Maria's elder sisterly counsels regarding strict propriety floated through her mind ns sho hesitated. But the mnn was evidently a gentleman, and besides there was the pouring ruin, und her new hat would bo mined, not to mention this her very first long gown. , She put her little hand on bis offered arm as trustingly as the child she was, und they set forth. In tbat short walk ho made himself deferentially agreeable, nnd she, who had been shut ln from nil contaminating mnlo society by n careful sister of forty, her only guardian, entered Ir.to this blgbly improper escapade with all the guilty Joy of a young filly Just broken out of Its stall Into forbidden pastures. She wns so naive, yet daringly winsome, her soft, long lashed grny eyes wero so Innocent, yet so mischievous, that it was small wonder that staid Mr. Harry Bewley, secretary to a highly respectable millionaire downtown, promptly lost his big, impulsive, Irish* Americnn heart nnd, what was worse. his handsome bend. For ns they ascended the brownstone steps of tho old mansion nnd he realized thnt he might never see her again in this great wilderness of New York he rashly begged her to let him cull and cnll some time soon. The girl was frightened at what ehe hnd drawn upon herself. Ills brown eyes were desperntely pleading ns he closed tho umbrella nnd stood beside her under the columned shelter of the ontrnnce wny. "Oh. plense go nwny," she Implored him, glnnclng apprehensively about and hurriedly fitting her key to tho lock. "Some one, perhaps Sister Maria. might see you." "Not till you tell mo when I may see you again. I must. Life will never be the same ngnln. Here," he hastily thrust a card into her hand nnd held it tliere, "I nm with Bronsoii & Co., Canal street. Any one there can tell you thnt I nm not an adventurer nor"— "Very well," she Interrupted in terror, hearing steps Inside. "Come next Wednesday evening. Ask for Miss An* ollno Dwlght." Sho opened tho door and was gone from his eager sight. During the next week Mr. Harry Bewloy's days and nights were a ferment of flitting, grny eyed visions In blue flounces and adorable lace lints.

The door was opened by n trim maid. "Is—ls Miss Anolino Dwight nt hnme?" he stammered ln his excitement, fumbling in bis cardcase. The maid stared and then giggled, but in n.moment straightened her deportment to its usual dignity. "Yes, sir; 1 guess she's downstairs," she remarked; then glancing doubtfully nt the bit of pnstboard, "Shall I take this to 'er?" And the giggle threatened to break bounds again. "Certainly," responded Mr. Bewley In his most lofty manner, though he reddened visibly. What the deuce ailed the girl? he wondered. Probably Miss Dwlght wns nt dinner. He hoped he hnd not come too enrly. He anxiously consulted his wateh. Nine o'clock was not so late. A burst of laughter from below, whither tho servant had repaired, startled his embarrassment anew, and the words "Hug bnt, too," flonted up to hlm.

But a reward other than official np* proval—cold comfort though It was— awaited blm n few days later, in the form of n dainty blue note sealed with white wax.

Tobolsk, where tbe Siberian Cossack is reared, is n well watered region, with 1,000 lakes, many of them of considerable size. Many of the inhabitants had their origin In the utilization of tbo territory us 11 penal colony for 10u- ropenn Russia. The people are still very primitive, sheep being the unit of exchange in their barter system. Cuttle breeding is extensively adopted, nnd lt ls from this source that the Utis- slnn nrniy draws most of its horses for service ln the far east. These animals are small and hardy, not particular about food and capable of enduring extreme heat and cold, but the load tbey can take even on n level road is only nbout 000 pounds.

Tlio Cossacks of the tltvt ranks are enrolled from the age of twenty-one for a period of twelve yeurs, and all servo for n further period of live years Iif tho reserves, the nge of discharge being, therefore, thirty eight.

Caesar's reformed calendar made the year about eleven minutes too long- that Is, the solar year began eleven minutes earlier each twelvemonth than the calendar year. In IC82 Pope Gregory XIII. found that the solar year had gained ten days on the calendar year. He corrected this nud to keep the two yenrs more nearly together ordered thnt thereafter only centurlnl years divisible by *UX> should be leap years. This calculation Is this: Ity adding eleven minutes regularly to the year, nt the end of n century the legal calendar has had one more dny than the solar calendar. I'-y giving up tbe additional day of leap year in three Centuriul years the legal calendar lias nt the end of three centuries nearly one day less than the suhir calendar. This difference Is corrected by having nn extra day In the fourth ceiiturial year. The arrangement Is so nearly exact that tbe two years differ by only one day In X.'I'J:; years. Opium SniaikliiK In Clilnn. It Is generally understood that a largo percentage of tbe Chinese are addicted to tbe use of opium. This is n misconception.

As a mailer of fact, a native who uses opium is looked upon by his superiors ns we discuss aud classify our drunkards. Tbo Idea that a pill will produce nn exhilarating effect on the beginner is nlso erroneous. One must be accustomed to the use of tbe drug to get the pleasant effect.

A trick in which n sword Is apparently passed through a person's ahtlo- men Is explained as follows: The sword employed is n thin, flexible, dull blade. I'he prestidigitator, whose body the sword will simply puss around, but nut pierce, carries concealed beneath his vest a sheath that consists of a hollow tube, semicircular In shapo. the two extremities of which are bent in contrary directions In such a way that tbey are situated in the same straight line, the two orifices opening in front and behind at ri^'lit angles with the abdomen. This tub!) runs around the farther side of the man, who, appearing Instinctively to grasp the point of the sword ns If to protect himself, directs It into the metallic tube. The flexible sword makes Its exit between the tails of the coat. It is necessary to operate rapidly, so that the spectators shall not have time to see that lhe length of the sword has diminished, the curved line lhat follows uot being the shortest passage from one point to another.

Abydos was the first capital Of Egypt and remained for forty-live centuries tlio religious center, tho Canterbury of the land, and there the Kgyptlun Kxploration fund has iineai'llieil the remains of "ten successive temples, one over the other." From the age of the Urst temple a group of ubout 200 objects has been found, which throws surprising light on the civilization of the first dynasty. A part of a large glazed pottery vase of Mena, the first king of the first dynasty, nbout 4700 lt. 0., Showed "that even then they were making glaze ou n considerable scale, nnd also Inlaying It witli a second color. The Ivory carving was astonishingly tine, a figure of a lung showing a subtlety und power of expression as good as any work of later ages." At about 4000 B. C. nn Ivory statuette ot Cheops, the builder of the great pyramid, was found, the only known portrait of him. Making every possible allowance for tho uiurvelous rapid- ity of art development must not many thousands of years have rolled over between the pristine dwellers iu the Nile valley and the men who carved Ivory statuettes and manufactured glazed work inlaid with second colors? It Is a loug, long inarch from flint Implements to the soleuiu temple Ivory statuettes and human portraits.—London Telegraph. Diamond!, The diamond, despite Its high price, IB not tho most fashionable stone. The emerald enjoys that distinction, but the colored stone must have a few diamonds "to throw it up." "When I was a youngster," says a famous jeweler, "emeralds were $-0 a carat. Today a fine stone ts worth $2,000. A twenty grain pearl I used to sell at $400. Today lt would be worth $3,000. llubles and.sapphires have gone up nlso, but not 80 much In proportion. During my long experience some stones have come In and gone out of favor, the cat's eye, for example. Settings are lighter than they used to be. The fashion is to set precious stones In platinum, as platinum never tarnishes. I don't think with platinum we get as much brilliancy out of the stone as with silver, but silvor in foggy weather goes black. Never buy a diamond set In gold. If you see one In a gold mount you may be suspicious. A yellow stone painted with black Ink looks white, and It is then set in gold. That is the way in which many pawnbrokers havo been taken in. When ab Oil In nip Waa a Cariosity. C. M. Shackelford, a Shelby county pioneer, was the Urst ninn to Introduce oil In the county. Some time lu the iiftles he visited St. I.ouls and brought to Shelbyville two lamps and a couple of gallons of oil. When the citizens of the village learned of It, there was considerable excitement—much more than when the electric lights were turned on a few years ago. About 400 people gathered at the store to watch Mr. Shackelford take his life ln his bauds. lie loaded up the lamp, turned the wick and prepared for Illumination by fastening a paper lighted on thc end of a stick. The crowd looked uneasy, but didn't run, and the new lighting works were nn entire success. Oil cost $3 per gallon. Mr. Shackelford bought some to Introduce the Improvement among his fellow eiUzeua,.

Above the pier—close to it ...td together, as if for comfort—huddled a cluster of tugs, those curious, powerful, persistent little steam craft that ply back and forth and up nnd down, saucily and busily iiuportnnt, their rows of fenders trailing In the water, their black smoke bannering out behind. Often I bad watched them nosing lu and out among the heavier craft. Budging a great ocean liner Into midstream and singly or together pushing or pulling some huge helpless bulk, as on ant or ns two might seize and trundle a great dead bumblebee. Their power and their Impudence had tilled nie with wonder. Viewing them now in repose, I was Impressed by the fact, hitherto unconsidered, that upon almost every pilot house was a golden eugle with extended wlngs-n symbol of power and swiftness—nnd it was borne in upon me that the tug ln truth Is tho harbor engle, with all other craft for its prey.

It Is certain tliey retain humidity to n groat extent, and that alone would affect the rainfall; but the point on which ull agree is the value of forests for the conservation of water, preventing floods or drought, distributing the water evenly the wbole year.

A Calqce TranetiN foamty. •The county of Franklin, In ttf stnte," said n Tennessee man, "hes the unique distinction of being the only county that ever undertook to secede from the state to which it belonged. A great many people have doubtless fo^ gotten that tlie people of Teuncssce voted twice on the proposition to secede from the Union. At the first electiou in February there was an enormous mnjority-nbont 100,01)0—against dl*. union. A few months later, when tha nttaek on Fort Sumter stirred thc pa*, gions of men, another vote was bad» and tho earlier verdict was reversed by about the same decisive figures. "But ln Franklin county, where stnte rights nnd secession claimed tbe allegiance of the entire population there was such Intense disgust over the result ot the first election that, led by the Hon. Pete Turney, afterward supreme court judge and twice governor, the citizens held n mass meeting nnt\ solemnly passed an ordinance of secession from Tennessee. Of course, when the state reconsidered in June. Frank- Uu county was mollified and renewed its allegiance." Unlta of Meaaarc.
