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 uccs's'ds'd iu saving as high as 961 mnv vein: but at that point it did not per cent of the silver values. We feel j show itself to be of a paying character. conliilent of success and are willing to Bul he did ii.it think tney should put our money into the enterprise, al-j place too much importance in this, as though the idea of saving silver with m a vein of that character it was im* cyanide has been poohpoohed by wise possible, or impracticable, to ascertain acres who would not risk a cent in | the value of a vein from just one open- working out a new met hod of treat ment. "I do not care to gi\s> the particu lars of our treatment. It centres,how* over, around the making of slimes by sending finely crushed ores over Wbif- Bey tallies or Fine vannere. tn the case of the Arlington, which carries only a small volume of lead and /.inc. the concentrates will be exceedingly limited, ln fact, we should be bettor pleased if WO got no concent rates at all, as our system consists of treating the slimes with cyanide or other chemicals and electricity. Electricity ij an important element and we are 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 installing a f 10,000 electric generatii plant on a water power which we cou* Ismail penalties owing to the small trol.

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. CITY COl'SCIL.

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.

Uiibbbc Jnas jils Mtllette, of Bt. Roiatro. Irlla ssf Her Patna, and How Kssally She Got Kid of Thein. St. Kosaire, D'Arthabasca, Que., Jan. 5.—(Special)—Among tlie people of this neighborhood there haa been much talk of late of the numerous cures resulting from the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. Such diseases as Rheumatism, Backache, Heart Disease 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.
