The annual Labor Day celebration in Slocan turned out a very pronounced success and all the attendants both locally and from the neigh- borlng towns enjoyed tliomseves immensely. Tlio weather was perfect and all of the athletic contests were interesting and well arranged and went through without a hitch. Almost the entire forco attended from the Ottawa mine, aud the Enterprise and Black Prince wore also represented,besides the numerous millers and prospectors from all points in the hills where smaller forces are at work. These commenced to gather early Sunday evening and by the time the train arrived with three well filled coaches of excursionists from Rosslaud and Nelson the business streets were crowded; The visitors from all points seemed to enjoy themselves immensely and when the day ended they were enthusiastic in expressing their satisfaction. The music of tlie day was furnished by the Kossland bugle band and Piper Gunn of Nelson, who, with his pipes, his sturdy form and Highland costume, proved a baud alone, not taking into considortion the crowd of enthusiastic "Scotties" who followed him throughout the day. The lirst event of the day wns the ri'io competition between the N«w Denver ritie club and the local marksmen. As thc steamer Slociin would not arrive ertrly enough to pull off the match the New Denver sharpshooters left in Henry Stegn's gasoline launch5; ami arrived here at 10 o'clock in the' morning.

The Nelson sports went broke ou their man Douglas, who was unable to make better than third in the hundred yard dash, the first event of the athletic games. Thomas of Nakusp was awarded the second prize. After that the hotting was not so lively and the many offers ol the backers of the local athlete had fewer takers. The standing broad jump, running broad jump, 220 yard race and 100 yard hurdle race came off in the order named and were won by Renwick of Slocan first ami Thomas of Nakusp second.

At 'l-'M o'clock the greater part of the crowd adjourned to the baseball ground, and a seven inning game between the Rossland and Slocan teams commenced. It was a well contested game and the Slocanites had the better of the match until the la»t inning, when thev got rattled and let the Kosalandera pile in six runs on them, which gave t'lein the game by a score of 9 to 8 and the one hundred dollar cup. Tliis game was followed by another baseball match between the Nelson and local juveniles. Th*) Nelson kids walked awny with the imaginary silver mado Is by a score of eight to nothing ami thereby rendered themselves undoubtedly the happiest visitors of the day. There were three entries in the drilling contest.

The majority of the visitors were from Rossland aud Nelson and returned at 6:30. A few of those from Now Denver and Silverton stayed over uutil Tuesday morning. WILL NOT DOWN. Tnlk of ii Smelter at Till* Fluor It Still Kept Up. The talk of a smelter at this place, to bo erected by a number of leading miuing men of Kootenay, will not dowu and has become a live subject. Saturday's Nelson News had tbis to say:— "There is more talk aliout the smelter at Slocan. Those interested in the enterprise aro getting all tho information they can as to the cost of the necessary machinery, etc. In the course of a few days the city council of Slocan will lie waited on to see what concessions they will make to the parties building and operating a smelter in their city." Judging from the appearance of thiujrs locally, the city fathers will have little to give the promoters of the new enterprise to locate here, beyond a cordial invitation to come. Exemption from taxation would doubtless lie granted, but so far as a cash bonus Or a land grant are concerned, thoy-nre out of the question. Slocan has bad her experience with bonus- giving and bitterly the ratepayers rue the bargain mnde. It will be years before the town is free of the burden imposed, and in the meantime the people cannot consider auy further cash concessions, no matter how legitimate aud desirable the-scheme might lie.

Rugh, now of Spokane, returns to Rosslaud as office manager for the Le Roi, and James H. Tre- vorrow, mine foreman for some time past, remains as mine superintendent. Mr. McMillan says the company's intention is to continue operations at tho mine and smelter with probable increased activity at an early date. The question of concentration is still open. .John H. McKenzie returns shortly to submit a report on the concentration experiments. AT THE OTTAWA. Main Drift U Again ltiinnliig lu Flrgt- CIum Ore. The main drift on the Ottawa, on tho east vein, is aguin in ore. Recently they cut through the big oro chute, proving its length to be 300 feet. For a time tho vein was barren, but ore liegan to come in in kidneys, and the indications at present are that another permanent chute is being approached. Ore from the stopes on this level is still being shipped at the rato of two cars a week. The uew level, known as No. B, has leached solid ground, being in 50 feet. Before it is finished it will be 1000 feet in length, and will crosscut both the west and east veins, both of which are certain to hold large bodies of ore. In the No. 4 level the west vein shows a length of G5 feet of ore, and this in depth will be much increased. Two veins on the same level, with shipping oro, will be somewhat unique iu the camp. The two tons of ore shipped some time ago from the No. 4 level to Jersey City, has reached its destination, and is now being experimented on,but the result has uot yet been made known. Tho coming winter will be a busy one at tho Ottawa. Our New Governer-Geuerat. King Edward has approved the appointment of Earl Grey as governor- troneral of Canada in succession to thc Earl of Minto. Although a liberal and a loyal follower of Mr. Gladstone, Earl Grey has belonged to the little group of liberal imperialists of whom Lord Rosebery is the leader. His name has always Ix-en associated with those who stand for Greater Britnin and strong foreign policy, while adhering to tho liberal policy of reform at home. Myrtle Lead Widens. The crosscut on the Myrtle has reached the hanging wall ofthe vein, being 110 feet past the raise. The vein has widened greatly, lieiug fully 80 feet in width in the crosscut. Several bunches of ore were passed through, two or throe streaks of rich ore having been encountered on the foot wall. It is the intention of the owners to drift both ways on the vein, the one to the south lieing aimed for the ore chute struck in the upper workings. lla'iatun Wiped Out. The little towu of Beaton, in the Lardeau country, was practically wiped out by fire last week. It started iu the Prospector's Exchange* hotel, whieh was destroyed, though the contents were mostly saved. Crawford's harness shop was next burned, together with his blacksmith shop and residence. The other places destroyed were: VV. B. Johnson's two houses, Beatty's hotel, and the assay office blown up. Brantford & Co.'s store was saved with much difficulty. Tho total loss is heavy, as there was practically uo insurance. Chang* In Le llol Affairs.

A passing traveler on the Slocan the other morning, takiug note of tho varied beauties of the surroundings, remarked that Now Denver was the prettiest town he had seen in his travels and that the gathering on the wharf appeared to be the most cheerful and lively looking be had come across for some time. Mrs. J. F. Dolauey and daughter Kathleeen took passage this morning for a trip to the old home, Peter- liorough, Ontario. A lot of the Slocau boys got off the boat and left for Sandon to take in the second day's sport aud were joiued by quite a number here. On Labor Day nt sharp 6 o'clock the rifle team was on hand and boarded Commodore Stege's staunch little cruiser Lucerne. Constable Black arrested a tramp the other morning for having boldly taken three of Henry Stege's Belgian hares, slaughtered them and built a fire in preparation fora sumptuous repast. The change to the cooler must have been resented, for he set fire to his temporary lodging. Happily the smoke was quickly noticed and tho lire quenched and the culprit was promptly haled off to Sandon. A .1 unction Celebration.

The Pioneer Mining company has been notified that assistance will not be given by the government this year toward building the wagon road from the Prince nor can it be promised - for next year. Paul Woods and Neil McMillan, after taking in the celebration, have returned to the Bondholder with more supplies. They have struck a small shoot of rich ore and are going after it. W. B. Young was in town from the Nansen Monday for men to work at that property. He. together with Pat Nolau and Cal Hittle on the adjoining claims, are sacking ore for shipment. It will probably go out by way of Six Mile to Kootenay lake. Thc returns from the small shipment made from the Highland Light on Toumile to the Trail smelter gnve 496.25 ounces in silver to the ton. The ore was sacked as it had been mined, without sortiug. Work is to be resumed ou the claim at once. The Pioneer Mining company is building a uow rawhide trail from the summit at the Bauk of England to the wagon road at the lower end of the Arlington Basin.

Bessie Thompson was a girl nf twenty. In addition to bein,''; good looking and baring ji good education, her acquaintances called ber a "brick." They said so because she had faced misfortune with u brave;' heart than Her father and had displayed u level ticiid nnd much shrewdness in trying to stem the tide and extricate hlm from his unfortunate situation.

Young woman, wben you have anything on hand attend to it and let castle building alone. Thinking won't bring bread and butter." Miss Bessie walked down to the lire and rearranged it a bit nnd then laid a aticlc across the to]) of the kettle to pro- Tcnt another accident. While sbe was doing this the old man sat down on the Steps,1 with a grunt; and looked around and muttered to himself.

A week later Partner Thompson, who was making an etVort to hobble ubout his room, received a letter In an ollicial envelope. He opened lt with sinking heart, but next minute he was calling to Bessie. "Here Is a discharge of mortgage as a present to ine!" he gasped. "Is It possible?"

No I.ove Lost ndncni «h» Arnold*. John Denison Cbamplln told an amusing story of Matthew Arnold and Sir Edwin Arnold. "Some years ngo," he ■said, "when walking with Matthew Arnold ou the banks of Uie littlo river lesf", near Bomscy abbey, conversation turned on Sir Kdwln Arnold and 'The Light of Asia.' published four or five years previously, lt is not necessary to enter into Mr. Arnold's opinion of the poem. During the conversation I tenk occasion to nsk him if ho were related to Sir Edwin. Ho paused a moment, as if shocked nt the suggestion, and then said: 'No, we nre not of kin. Indeed, I doubt If he hnd nny right to tho name of Arnold. I bavo been told that he is of Jewish descent' A few weeks later I happened to meet Blr Kdwln nt n dinner In London and, prompted by, I hope, a not unpardonable curiosity, propounded a similar query to blm. 'No,' he replied quickly, with what seemed a shade of usperity In his tone, 'I am not related to Matthew Arnold. We arc of wholly different families.1 Then, llis face breaking Into his peculiar smile, he ndded: •Matthew Arnold ls nn Intellectual dyspeptic Uis brain does uot digest properly.'" '•MaarlfNh" Hirer. Maxwell Sommerville of the University of Pennsylvania spent nearly forty years of his life in oriental travel and study. Professor Sommerville used sometimes to narrate the strange error that was once made by a French explorer be had known. This explorer had made a journey to Kairwan and had drawn a map of the country he passed through. i lie singular thing about this map was thai the name "Mnarlfsh" appeared so many times on It. A river would be tl.e Maarlfsh river; a mountain would be Mount Maailfsh; a village, a lake, a valley, each would be called Maarlfsh. When Professor Sommerville aaw this map he laughed. "Don't you know," he said to the traveler, "what 'maarlfsh' means ln Arabic?" •No." said the other. "What does lt mean'.'" "It means 'Don't kuow.'

Tills Is the spirit that prevails in some parts of the kingdom, but must not bo taken as a national characteristic."—Washington Post. The W'orrt "Cad." "Cad," it is pointed out by a writer, Is a word furnishing "a pathetic Instance of verbal degeneration." lie says: "Its grandfather 'cadet' and its father 'caddie' arc still alive ln the language, though the relationship Is recognised by few. 'Cadet,' signifying by derivation from the Latin a 'little head,' or 'little chief,' was a sufficiently , honorable-word for the younger son of a noble family, and acquired Its mud- em army sense from the fact that the army was often the destiny of younger sons. But It nlso begat 'eadlo' or 'caddie,' a Junior or subordinate In general, such as a bricklayer's assistant or the familiar golf caddie. Then caddie' or 'end' came to mean an odd Job man, nnd from calling the men wbo bung about to pick up jobs by this name, Oxford undergraduates presently applied it to 'town' Iff general, as coil- trastod with 'gown.' As no compliment wns thereby intended, its final degradation is obvious." A Jenlotin Apr. Sir Harry Johnston, the Bngllsh explorer, once traveled on a ship with n pet ape. It was a great favorite with all the passengers until there came aboard at Madeira a lady with nn Infant. The latter received a pood deal of attention and the ape in conse- quence became neglected ami jealous. Blr Harry Johnston followed it on deck one day Just in time to prevent n tragedy. The child had been left unguarded for a moment in Its cradle. The ape had- made for it. pulled it from the Cradle and wa.s in the act of throwing it overboard when the traveler pounced upon lt. Says Sir Harry. "It would certainly have hurled lt into the sen had not my arrival caused the guilty ape to drop the child on the deck and Scramble away." The ape was relegated to it strong Iron cage for the rest of that voyage. Cbarles Kean's Afflictions. Charles Kean, the actor, could not I pronounce the consonants "m" and 1 "n."

Whisky as an alternative to wine may undoubtedly be employed medicinally with advantage In certain cases, both for men and for women, But this is very different from the constant recommendation which is suggested, as if, indeed, doctors regard whisky as a sort of panacea for every disease under the sun, and take a perfect delight ln urging its consumption upon llieir patients. As a matter of fact, there never was a time when medical men were more slow to prescribe the use of alcohol In any form than they are ln the present day, nor a time wheu so many refrained from advising Its use nt all.—Hospital.

The ship's anchors In general use up to the beginning of tho last century consisted ot a long, round Iron stiank, having two comparatively short straight arms or flukes, Inclined to the shank at an angle of about forty tie grees and meeting it in a somewhat sharp point at the crown. In large anchors the bulky wooden stock was built up of several pie, ,'s, hooped together, thc whole tapering outward to the ends, especially on the aft or cable side. About the beginning of the last century a clerk in the I'lymontli navy yard, Paring by name, suggested certain Improvements, the most important of which was making the arms Curved Instead of straight. <\l lirst sight this simple change may seem ol little value, but consideration will show this is not the case. The holding power of an anchor depends on two principal conditions -namely, the extent of useful holding surface and tho amount ol vertical penetration. The latter finality is necessary on account of the nature of ordinary sea bottoms, the surface layers of which are generally less tenacious and resisting than Is thc ground a short distance below. In the year 1831 chain cables began to supersede the hempen ones, with the result that the long shanked anchors hitherto ln vogue were no longer necessary, and anchors with shorter shanks and with heavier and stronget crowns gradually came Into use. In Consequence of these changes, 9 commission wns appointed In the year ISliS to Inquire Into the holding power ol anchors and a principal result of Its labors was tho adoption of the so called admiralty pattern anchor, which continued to be used lu the llritish navy up to the year IMbU The invention of the steam hammer ln isio made tho welding of heavy masses of Iron a eonifutrntivoly easy and reliable process, so that from this time onward the strength of anchors fully kept pace with that of the chain cables, which had come into general use., a number of patents for anchors were taken out prior to the great exhibition of 1851, and, public attention bavin;,' been called to the models then shown in tbe following year, a committee was appointed by tlie admiralty tc report on the qualifications of anchors of the various kinds. Practical trials were then Instituted, and, as a result, some of tlie tests to which the anchors were submitted were of doubtful value-such, for instance, as "facility for sweeping." Nowadays, bowever, at all events for deep ships }n shallow harbors, it is considered an advantage for an anchor to offer as little obstruction as possible above the ground.

How taa Kceii Ont of Trouble. "The rivalry between tbe two arms of tho national service, the army and navy," said an army man, "is most shown lietween the marines and the Jacklea ou a man-of-war. Tlie marines are soldier policemen, and the jackies have a keen contempt lor them. I remember bearing of one old tar who was always getting into trouble. Finally he made peace with oue of toe marines. " 'Tell ine how to keep out of trouble';' the old tar asked. 'If you'll show me the way I'll give you my plug of tobacco.' "The marine tried the plug and found it to bis liking.

Iu the armies of tin* t-eveiiteenlh nnd eighteenth centurijs the custom of casting lots to dec' le what soldiers should be punished for the offenses of all was common. At Winchester, England, in lCi-bj, complaint was made that after iho surrender there had been unfair plundering, Six soldiers were tried und found guilty, and it was decided by lot which one of lhe six should be hanged. At Tangier In 1003. aud again in 1005, two Boldlors had to cast dice on a drumhead, nntl he who threw tho least was executed. Thomas May's translation of Barclay's "Icon Ani- morum" gives a curious Btory of this sort. Speaking of English courage, be says that during the war in the Netherlands some soldiers of the Spanish party were taken prisoners by the Dutch, who decided to make reprisals for the previous cruelty of their enemies. Out of four and twenty men eight wore to be hanged. "There wero lots, therefore, thrown Into a helmet." says May, "and the prisoners wero commanded to draw their fortunes— whoever should draw a blank was to escape, but whoever Bhould draw a black lot was to be hanged presently. "They were nil." says May. "possessed With a great apprehension of their present danger, especially one Span- lard. Their pitiful wishes and tears in some of the stnnders by did move pity. In others laughter. Tliere was besides In that danger nu Englishman, n com mon Boldler, who, with a cureless countenance, expressing no fear of death at all, came boldly t..> the helmet and drew his lot Chance favored him; ii was a safe lot. Being free himself from danger he came to the Spaniard, who was yet timorous and trembling to put Ids band Into the fatal helmet, ami receiving from blm 10 crowns he entreated the Judges—oh, horrid audacity—that, dismissing the Spnulard, they would suffer him again to try his fortune." May further relates tli.tt "the judges consented to the madman's roquc i. Who valued his Ufa at so low a rale, and ho again drew a safe lot." May seems rather to regret the second escape of the foolhardy Englishman, whom be denounces as "a wretch unworthy not only tif thnt double, but even of a single preservation, who so basely had undervalued his life."

GOVEKNMKNT AFTER LK KOI. Iii court of revision for ihe Rossland provincial assessment district last week an interesting case presented itself affecting thc payments by the Lo Roi company to tho government of the two per cent tax under the mineral act. The deputy inspector of taxes has taken action for the government to collect ?19,(537 alleged to be due by tho company for tho fiscal years ending in 1902 and 1903 over and above the sum of 8*17,- 621 actually paid by the company. The government claims that the statement of freight and treatment given in the quarterly reports bv the mine on which the tax levy is based differs from the figures submitted in the annual reports of the company for the said years. The company maintains that the smelter is a separate company and entitled to the profits on tho ore treated, which profit is tho difference between their reports to the government and to the share holders. If the action is sustained the Le Roi will be compelled to pay taxes on the gross values of all ores, deducting the bare cost of hauling and treament. Under the government's contention the ownership of the reduction works by the mine would be a drawback so far as the mineral act is concerned. Tho fact that the Northport smelter is operated by a separate company may dispose of the matter entirely in favor of tho mining compauy. The whole question is adjourned till Oc toiler at tho request of the Lo Roi counsel. Telegraph Line Improvements. The Canadian Pacific Telegraph company has just completed a new pole Hue between Slocan City and New Deliver, says tho Nolson News. Previous to this tho wire has been strung on trees, and was apt to be prostrated whenever thero was a big wind storm or a forest lire. The forest fires along Slocan lake were the cause of a great deal of inconvenience through the burning of telegraph poles aud the falliug of burned trees across the wire. In order to obviate this a right of way had to be cut from 20 to 30 feet wide all the way from Slocan City to New Denver. The installation of the pole line aud the cutting of the right of way has given employment to 15 men during tho past two months. The greatest difficulty was exporiencud in tho neigh- horhood of Twelve Mile, where a force had to be employed night and day for some time to keep the line clear, owing to tho burning trees falling across tho wires.
