THE AUL1SQTON MUX.
J. Frank Collom, managing director
of the Arlington, spent several davs
iu Spokane this week, on his way here
from San Francisco. He was in consultation with Prof. J. S. Parks. M.E., 1 ble"width"
who examined the Arlington last Sep
tember, with regard to th»» new mill
to bo erected by the company on the
property in the spring. Mr. Collom
was also in the east and while there
purchased much of the equipment for
tht! plant.
In order to thoroughly tost ores of
tlm Arlington character, Prof. Parks
is installing a plant in Spokane, and.
in --peakingof it, Mr. Collom said:
The trial plant is a unit half the
size of the unit; which will be installed. The mill will have an initial capacity of f>0 tons a day, but that can
lx1 increased tsi UK)tons a day if we so
desire. Mr. Parks has been experimenting for some months pasi at a 40
stamp mill the identity of which 1
do uot care to make public   and has
serious fall in the market price ol
those metals. Hitherto the whole of
tlie mining work had been in the development of winking a high grade
silver vein, which, although broken iu
its centre by a well defined fault, had
not, so far as its development had advanced, shown signs of pinching out:
in fact, it was understood that this
vein could be traced for a considerable
distance from their property. What
might also prove to be an important
factor in the value of the mine was the
fact that another vein had been discovered on the propeity of considera
As thev would have learn
ed from Mr. Fowler's report, steps
were lieing taken for the prospecting
of this vein, at a depth of some 150
feet below its outcrop, nnd should this
vein open up in the same manner as
thev were hopeful it would do, the
value of their property would lx* very
considerably enhanced. From surface
indications this vein, whilst, not expected to produce ore of so high a
grade as the liest they were working,
was of greater width, and should
therefore produce a large quantity of
concentrating ore, for the treatment of
which th*" mill is adapted
In a letter received that morning
from their engineer. Mr. Fowler, it is
stated that this new vein had lieen
encountered in the crosscut, or. at
least, what   thev  believed to lx* this

"I do not care to gi\s> the particu

over, around the making of slimes by

case of the Arlington, which carries

chemicals and electricity. Electricity

ing.
They Would have noticed that the
monthly returns showed considerable
fluctuations, and that now and again
a monthly loss was announced. The
ore from the vein worked showed a
large percentage of /inc. which had
not hitherto been marketable in British Columbia; in fact, its presence
over and above S or 10 per cent, was
penalized by the smelters. Their
management, therefore, found the
b"st results, under the circumstances,
by so arranging the mill 80 as to produce two products one high in lead
and silver and low in /.ine, which was
| readily saleable and  suhjeVt only tsi

"We have shipped about BOOO tonsjsequently, had  to await a favorablt
cal market in Canada for British
Columbia ores, the benefit of which
would tend largely to remove the disabilities under which they were at
present laboring.
Their engineer informed them that
a much better demand had arisen for
zinc ores than had hitherto existed ,and
they were therefore hopeful of better
things in that respect. The poor result of last year's work was to a large
extent due to the fact that the whole
of the work done at the mine had to
be carried on in a very costly manner,
namely, by hand lalxir. During this
year they had the advantage of machinery, and, consequently, were in a
much better position in that respect.
On the other hand, thi! condition of
the metal market was infinitely worse
than it was "then.
During the last two years the market prices of silver and lead had
gradually fallen, lead from something
like £18 to under £11 per ton, and
silver from about 2s (id an ounce to
22 8T6d per ounce, which their directors could only view with the greatest
concern; so much so that it became
a question whether it would not be
better to temporarily shut dowu the
mine until better prices prevailed
They had given this matter consinera-
tion for some time, but had delayed
taking definite steps, in the hope that
bedrock had been reached, and that
the markets would improve. But that
had not been the case. Their directors were therefore again seriously
considering the question from that
point of view. Owing to the geological character of the mine, he did not
think damage would result from a
temporary suspension of operations:
but while silver and lead stood at such
extremely low prices, it Beamed only
a matter of prudence that this step
should lie taken. He Ixigged to move:
•'That the report aud accounts to December 81, l90l,now submitted to this
meeting, lx*. and are hereby received
and adopted.-'
Oliver Wethered, iu seconding the
motion, said he visited the property
some 16 months ago, and contirini'd
whut Mr. Fowler had always said with
regard to it. namelv,that it was a very
•rood properly, and, with normal con-
lilisirsand normal prices, the company could make excellent profits.
They might be thoroughly satisfied
they had a viTy gixxl mine, and also
oneit if the best plants iii British Columbia.
The report and accounts were then
adopted.

—that Gavin told me he loved me.
I was Staying with tlie Foresters,
you know, and Agnes and I si.ared
a room. And v.hen we went up
stairs I did so want a quiet time
to think—but she would koep talking, she would not be quite for a
minute, and I knew that instead of
if I -. •; lhe would talk half
the night through: so—I knelt down
and pretended, yes pretended, to say
rary prayers, and ail the while I was
repealing    to   tn'.s...' -   and   over
again what CSaria I to me."
"And that 6eems a g-'.-at crime to
you!"
"Ii was a dreadful thing to do. I
am ashamed wherever 1 ttink of it.
I have nol even told Gavin, yet."
"If you think that so dreadful,
what would you say of a man who
had stolerr money and let the blame
•    •   on another'*''
9ba looked at him with dilating
trying h*--r best lo fathom such
s of iniquity.
"I  don't know      for which  of the
poor things I  should feel sorry.    It
would be hateful,  ssf course, for   tbe
man     who    was    suspected:   but  it
would     be worse for thc man who
■tola the money—yes,  1  should pity
hinj more."
Then   what   would you say if    I
shewed you proofs that Mr.  Wishart
had done such a thing?"
•She laughed gleefully.
"I don't know what has come to
you, John! Why do you talk in
such a ridiculous fashion? Gavin
could not do anything like that: besides he is rich, he never needed
money."
"But suppose I hod proofs here,

Khe made a despairing gesture.
•'The.n  1  don't   see how  1  am    to

■'I will know what?"
"What I w-ant to try and tain yt>u.

aoiaething    very    wrong  (which    of

■txhen she loves him.  it is not    for
what he did,  or does,  or ever    will

other people see in him,  or say    of
him,      that she loves—it is hi**s**self:
and if the whole world were to join
in  saying wicked  things about him.
she would not care.    It would mats
ao difference to her love!"
"But if proofs were brought?"
"Proofs!        You mean, writing on

him, that is enough for me."
"You are unreasonable, Mary.
Would nothing convince you? If every one held aloof from him, if he
were openly disgraced—would thet
make no difference? What would you
do then?"
She  looked  at  him with terror ln ;
ber eyes.
"Oh.    I   should      die!    Ko, no—1 j
would live to comfort him.    If oth- j
ers left him. I would cling closer; if |
Dtl tsi despised him. I would sjneour- !

MISERABLE NIGHTS
What to Do When Baby   la Fretful esse-
Sleeplaaa.
It is wrong to tnke up u wakeful
baby from the craiilo and walk it up
and down the floor all night, lt demoralizes tho infunt and enslaves the
parents. Baby does not cry for the
fun of the thing; it cries because it is
nnt well—generally because its stomach is sour, its little bowels congested, its skin hot und feverish. Relieve it and it will sleep all night,
every night growing stronger in proportion, .lust what mothers need is
told in a letts-r from Mrs. K. J,
Flanders, Marbloton, Que., who snys:
" I ennnot suy too much in favor of
Baby's Own Tablets. They have
worked like a rhurm with my baby,
who was very restless at night, but
Baby's Own Tablets soon brought
quint sleep and rest. I shall never be
without a box while I have a baby."
Baby's Own Tablets cure all minor
ailments of little ones, ancl are giiiu-
anleeil to contain no opiate or harmful drug. They arc sold at 25 cenls
n box liy all dealers, or you can get
them by mall, post paid, by writing
direct to the Dr. Williams' Medicine
Co., Brockville, Ont., or Schenectady,   NY.

and even Catarrh have yielded readily to this wonderful remedy, and
people are fast learning how important it is that the Kidneys should be
kept In shape lo perform their duty
of removing impurities from the
blood.
One of those who speak out often
and earnestly for the good thut
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done is
good Dame Joseph Milette, She suf-
fets'tl from Kidney Complaint and Catarrh ami is now completely cured
lt is not to be wondered at that she
sp.*iiks  ns follows :
"1 suffered tnucii from malady of
the Kidneys. It settled in the loins
and gave me great pain and discomfort. I took two boxes ot Dodd's
Kidney Pills and am perfectly well.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are a grand
remedy [*or me. 1 give Dodd's Kidney Pills my certilicate from a big
heart."
Many others, once suffererd but now
in good health, unite with Dame
Joseph Milette in singing the praises
of Dodd's Kidney Pills. They have
proved conclusively that no disease
arii-tlng from diseased kidneys can
stain!   before them.

The great tusk of sound ethics is to
stimulate the social Imagination. We
must be continually prodding our senst
of siBcia1 consequence to keep it with
awake. We must be asking ourselves
at each point nf contact with the lives
of others such pointed questions ns
thi's,-:
How would you like to be the tailor
• ir washerwoman whose bill you bave
neglected to pay?
How would you like to be the ens
toiniT to whom ynu are selling these
adulterated or Inferior goods?
How would you like to be the In
vestor in this stock company which you
are promoting with water?
How would you like to be the employ
er whose time and tools and material
you nre wasting at every chance you
get to loaf anil shirk nud neglect the
slutii'S you are pnisl tsi perform?
How would yon like to be the clerk
or saleswoman In the store where you
are reaping extra dividends by impos
ing harder conditions than the state of
trade and the market compel you to
adopt?
How would you like to be the stoker
or weaver or mechanic on the wages
you pay and the conditions of labor
you impose?
Uow would you like to be the business rival whom ymi deprive of his little all by using your greater wealth lu
temporary cutthroal competition?—
