An alternative ])lan for a waterworks system for the town,other than that of tin- familiar (lout ereek scheme, has been suggested by A. Vork, and it is meeting with favor union;- tlie citizens. Mr. York's plan is to utilize tlie water of Uie lake as a source of supply, with n large re servoir on the heights to the east of the lake. A pumping Station would be installed on tlie. lakeshore ami the water obtained from a depth of 100 feet, ensuring a plentiful supply of pure and wholesome water. Power for pumping would be obtained from the Springer falls by means of a pipe and relton wheel, or else bv the generation of electricity itself tit the falls to drive the pumping machinery. This would do away with a costly steam apparatus and reduce the ini- ttal cost anil operating expenses to a minimum. From the reservoir a principal main could be laid throughout any portion of the town, and it would be revenue producing from the moment it entered the corporation. Any head desired could be obtained for pressure and would be effective at any point of the system, it need be, a supplementary main could be run from the Springer falls, so as to get a further supply of water in the men getting out timber to lav off, Other properties suffered in the same respect. As vet there has been very little indication of spring in the hills. COMING TO BRITISH COI.UM11IA. A party of students in mining from .M<-< iill University, Montreal, will visit British Columbia this summer. The students in the department of mining in this university are accustomed to study the geological characteristics of different parts of the country* Formerly, the eastern parts oi Canada and the statu of Pennsylvania have bei'ti visited. This vear thev come to British Columbia, The anthracite mines east of the Rockies will be visited; and a day will be devoted to the Selkirks, wherethc great glacier will be inspected. Most of the week to be spent on Vancouver Island will be devoted to the study uf the c ml mines near Nanaimo. On the return trip, the first place visited will be the Arrow lakes, when the company will afterwards visit the Sandon and .Slocan City catnps: inspecting the silver-lead and dry ore mines. ' A week will be spent at Rossland.and another will bt; devoted to the Boundary country. The party will travel homo, via Nelson,stopping at«everal places in the mining dis triets of East Kootenay, and at the coal mines in the Crow's Nest. The class will consist of about 20 students, in charge of Dr. J: B, Porter, professor of mi in?, and Dr. F. Adams, professor of geology. Each student will receive a printed outline ofthe points to be noted in each class of mine and smelter visited. As the train travels, informal lectures will be given on the geological characteristics ofthe country through which it expecting to strike ore for some time,! OUR as the ledge, which widened out to three feet, was gradually getting more mineralized. The samples brought down show hardly any zinc. The strike comes at. an opportune time, ;ts the heads of tlio syndicate are to be in next week. THK AMKitlCAN Ol'KRATOR.

An American manages his property on the ground; the European dictates his policy 'rom abroad.

One year ago it would have been hard to find a happier pair of lovers than Lllikol and Keewainahl. They were soon to be married. The girl was exceptionally pretty, and kind fortune had smiled pleasantly if not generously on the young man. They were greatly envied among the villagers in that beautiful suburb of Honolulu, Le- naukikl. Then came the awakening and with It the sad tragedy that had for Its ending the bones found below the Tali pass. Every arrangement for a big feast In honor of the coming nuptials bad been CLIMllKD CLIFF TOOKTIIKH. made when Keewamahi was taken with a slight touch of fever. Nothing was thought of it, but aa be wanted to get cured quickly be visited one of the doctors. Then came the terrible discovery. The young Kanaka was a leper. He was Immediately hurried to a hospital and quarantined. His promised wife came to the hospital day after day, always asking that she be permitted to see Keewamahi, only to be told again and again that this could not be. Her lover was a leper and Incurable. More than this, the doctors told the young girl that her lover must soon be sent to Molokal, the leper settlement, a city more weird and terrible than tha city of everlasting night, more horrible than any city of fiction—one place where of a truth all who enter must leave hope behind and live the rest of their lives In waiting. Again the girl pleaded tbat she might join ber Intended husband, happy indeed to share with him that last long siege of waiting for tbe end, greater agony than which It Is Impossible for the mind to conceive. It was but another proof that tbe women of Hawaii are tbe women of all the world—ready to sacrifice life, comfort everything, for a love tbat knows no parting. In the meantime the dread disease was making lu ravages. It was altogether hopeless, as the doctors said Keewamahi tried to take his life, but the attempt waa not successful. When Lllikol heard that he bad tried to kill himself, she smiled. To her parents sbe aald, "We will be together soon." In vain her parents and friends tried to prove to her, ns the doctors had done, tbat It was all hopeless, and sbe could do nothing for the man she loved, and the only right thing to do was to try and forget him. The time for tbe leper's removal to Molokal drew near. Each night, so her parents will tell you, she used to go out to the old trystltig place and wait for ber lover to return. "Her mind was affected," was what every one said, as they generally do when It is the heart that Is breaking. Tbe rest of this story must of necessity lack any details. But the suppositions are such tbat they cannot be misunderstood. Notwithstanding tbe vigilance of the hospital officials love laughed at locksmiths at Honolulu, just as it has laughed at them till over the world, and Keewamahi was a free man, or, more correctly speaking, he was a free leper, which Is a very different thing. Well be knew that tomorrow be would be hunted and tracked like a wild beast and what he bad to do be must do quickly. That same evening Lllikol left her borne to go to tbe old try sting place Just as sbe had done for so many nights. She never returned, and her whereabouts were a complete mystery until with the finding of 'tie bones was enough of her clothes to prove that, separated in their life, in their death tbey were again united. Although no one remembers seeing them on that last night, the final chapter In this snd romance is as clear ns the Hist, that dealt with serenades, variegated lanterns, the Indescribable beauty with which nature decorates this garden spot of all the world and adds the restfulness of the blue sea that stretches out into the far beyond. At last there came a night when, as Lilikoi had said, her lover arrived. In what particulars It differed from the nights of a happy past or In what particular It was the same no one can say. There was at least one difference. This night there was no parting. The long promised "tomorrow" had come for both the leper and his sweet heart, and they knew that there could never be another one. Only two choices were possible, Mo. lokal and separation—death and meet Ing the end together. Together they climbed the steep road that hangs to the great side of the Pall pass almost as do the vines with thelt little tendrils to the sheer face of tht rock. Here It was that Kamehameha, the great Napoleon of the nawnlians, fought and conquered the laBt staud ol the great King Oahu. Little more need be added. Kamehameha climbed the Pall pass and brought abotlt the conquest of thc Island. Keewamahi and his sweetheart climbed thc pass and conquered leprosy and separation. Who can any which was tbe greatei victory? EVER DREADED BY THE MARINER The Floating Dtrtlict and the Iceberg Fruitful of Disaster. As an outcome of the Bourgogne disaster the French government has announced Its Intention of co-operating with Uncle Sam in devising means foi preventing loss of life at sea. It Is high time that something were done to circumvent thc awful mortality of the sea. The United States hy* drographlc office In Washington has among its records a list of the greatest ocean disasters of the last 00 years. These comprise mostly the sinking of steamers, of which 23 carried with them to the bottom over 7,000 passengers. If the whole "mortality of the ocean could be computed. If we could find out the number of all those unfortunates who have sunk with the fishing boats, the merchantmen, the fraos and junks of all nations Into thc great water maw of the earth, they would be found to comprise a greater number of souls annually than are necessary to populate a city of the third class. No wonder Uncle Sam maintains a great bureau In Washington, with worldwide connections, for the special purpose of guarding the highways of the ocean. To sit and scan the reports of the office is to have one's feelings harrowed by sea tales so full of suggest!veness that one has a great yearning to go help the unfortunates or an unhealthy desire to view the greatest catastrophe or a wild eagerness to suggest the local color of scenes which the rules of office allow the hydrographer to describe only In severely brief and technical language. These show uncharted rocks against which any vessel might unwittingly strike, whistling buoys broken from their moorings and luring to destruction, floating spars like battering rams, enormous Icebergs and other menaces to navigation. Add to these tbe well known peril of the derelict and we have a truly formidable list of tbe "inanimate" obstructions to navigation. Tbe plan of the two governments Is to stimulate the Interest already taken FOBS OF TUB BAILOR. by Inventors by offering further to reward every mnn who sball devise means for maklug ocean travel safer than It Is now. In consequence the United States patent office has recorded an Increased number of patents for communicating between ships at night or In foggy wenther. for wiirnlug vessels away from rocky coasts or from lee shores, for patent bulkheads, for life buoys, for uiislnkable lifeboats, etc. If one- hulf of the d6vlccs prove successful In practice. It will be virtually Impossl- hlo for a great ocean disaster to occur again. KISSIS.

UNCLE SAM'S SPOTTERS. Enpeeiallr the Man In Europe. Who Looks Ont Por Smnarn-lerst. "Uncle Sam's large nnd well organized secret service," says S. H. Adams In Alnslce's, "Is made up mostly of men who come properly under the head of detectives with police powers, but It has its class of bona fide spotters, whose entire duty it is to ingratiate tb-'inselves with persons suspected of having designs to evade the custom house duties nnd to waru tho baggage Inspectors ot this end of the Impending swindle. "In cleverness, address and adaptability the secret service spotter Is easily at the head of his profession and even ranks With the trained experts of the European diplomatic corps. It Is essential that be should be a man of the world, for be must associate with all kinds of people on equal terms. He has no fixed abode, but lives in various European capitals when he Is not on shipboard, where he Is much of the time. He must never let himself be In thc slightest degree suspected. "There Is always a number of these agents in Paris, because of tbe great American trade there. They live at the fashionable hotels and live the life apparently of flaneurs and boulevar dlers. In all lines of trade that concern dutiable goods tbey are experts, and no large purchase by an American In Paris Is unknown to tbem. Their circle of acquaintance is enormous, but nobody knows them for what they are. Lu one way or another they contrive to make the acquaintance of any person whom they suspect and unostentatiously but unremittingly trail him. "Many a time some man who has made a heavy purchase of diamonds or laces and so disposed tbem that be felt sure of being able to get tbem through the port undiscovered has been passed on the dock by a chance acquaintance of the voyage over who. unseen, presses a little note Into tbe band of the customs Inspector. Thnt note tells all that the wily smuggler would wish to keep secret, and his baggage Is mercilessly ransacked until the bidden articles are brought to light He has been followed over by the spotter. Men employed In this Hue get good pay—as high aa $10 a day— but It costs tbem much to live In the manner lu which they must maintain themselves." Allowed Plenty of Time. Speaking of tlie Inte William Travett leads me to remark tbat so far as I am personally aware, only one of the classic stuttering stories about him Is actually true. I had the honor and happiness to reside at Newport for a year or so once, and at the time Mr. Travers was a summer resident there. He certainly stuttered a good deal, but he did not go around habitually discharging staccato witticisms at the world, as you might suppose be did from all tbe stories you bear. But the one story tbat I know about Is this one: Travers was at a garden party one afternoon when a young lady said ta him. "What time Is it please, Mr. Travers?" Travors took out his watch, wabbled his mouth awhile, blinked and finally said, "It'll be s-s-s-s-slx o'c-c-c-c-clock by tbe time I can say Iti" It really lacked five minutes of fl when he began. Sunns- Booms, It Is said to be true tbat In all hospitals those rooms facing the sun have fewer deaths, other things being equal, than those which nre on the shady side of the house. Likewise statistics, where they have been kept, prove tbat the average ♦Ime for a recovery is much less lu a sunny room than In a shady oue, Prom these facts and from tbe fad that the tendency toward illness hat proved greater on the shady side ol buildings, like prisons and asylums, II follows that light Is second only lu Importance to fresh air. A dark room is nearly but not quite so bad as a close •room. In the case of sickness the sickroom should be tbe sunniest one ths house affords. Egotlotle.

MEXICAN GIRL'S WILD RIDE Heroine Of Sonora Warned People Of Coming Flood To become a heroine and gain wealth by one bold stroke of daring is thc good fortune that has come to Eduurda Stlva, a young Mexican girl of the state of Sonora. Wheu the Montezuma dam burst on tbe Hlo de Sonora. she mounted her horse and raced down the valley before the rushing flood warning the people of the impending disaster, and as a reward she has been presented with a rich share of the Banco mine. It Is difficult to say just how many lives Eduarda Silva saved, but she warned over 200 people, counting those domiciled at the various ranches, mines and peon camps. Jim Taylor, superintendent of the Banco mine, declares that fully half of this number would have been drowned or seriously injured bad It not been for the timely warning she gave them. On the morning of tbe day on which the dam burst Eduarda rode up the south fork of the Rio de Sonora looking for stray cattle from her father's ranch. She went along the side of the dam and at the bulkhead found big Tom Johnson In charge of four of his ditch repairers, all of tbem bustling and sweating to stop wbat looked like an ordinary little leak In tbe towering wall of earth, bowlders, Interlaced logs and sheathing planks. For 20 minutes the hot work wu rushed, punctuated with exclamations, the sound of spanning earth and water and sharp, quick orders. Then the boss climbed up to take a glance at the surface of the surcharged dam. When be came down, be walked directly to Eduarda. "Say. little girl.' he said, "we're up against It hard and no mistake. We can hold ber for half an hour at the outside. Ride like fury and warn the TOLL SPKKD DOWN THK OOROE. folks below to rush for tbe bills. You've got tbe right stuff In you. Now, skip!" And be pulled out his big silver watch and glanced at the time. "Half an hour," be muttered, "and then tbe water'U knock us out" Eduarda turned her horse and started down tbe gorge that later widened Into tbe little Mlramar valley, dotted with several ranches. Romero Hernandez was on bis veranda mending a ■addle when Eduarda dashed up. "Run for tbe bills," sbe cried; "the dam Is bursting, and the flood will be hen Inside half an hour!" Eduarda dashed on In ber heroic endeavor. There was method In the way she zigzagged across the little valley and took short cuts between huts, houses and camps. For as she galloped along at a breakneck pace sbe figured out which of those she warned could warn others in turn In their flight to higher ground. At the ranch of Miguel Ferrara sbe secured a fresh horse and continued her wild ride down the flinty roadbed of tbe gorge to the collection of frame bouses, shacks and rude cabins that marked the shaft, leading to the Banco mine. Jim Taylor was In tbe superintendent's office. As Eduarda dashed up Taylor grunted as she cried her warning, but became a man of action In a moment He called to half a dozen men, and the next Instant the entire camp seemed to know all about the danger, and men were rushing about, but rushing In a way that Bhowed they were preparing to meet the flood. Tbe ore cars were whistled up, the ore sent flying helter skelter, nnd the sick from the hospital were hurriedly buudled Into the cars and sent up tbe grade. Eduarda was crossing the Arroyo Seco on her way to the Sepulvedas when she first heard the roar In the air that told her tbe turbulent wntcrs In the big Montezuma dam had at last triumphed over plucky Tom Johnson and his gang of ditch walkers. But her work was almost over by that time. She was now out In the open country, and only two families living near the bed of the Sonora were In Immediate danger. These sbe reached In a straight gallop over a good road. And this Is the way Eduarda Silva cheated the greedy waters of the Montezuma dam and won for herself a share In the rich Bunco mine.

For people to scold Is ludicrous, too, but with a difference, nnd assuredly the difference Is ou the unfavorable sltU*. It never did and never will do any 011a any good. It hns done much barm. Besides, scolding grows to he a habit. We have all suffered because of the shortcomings of some one else, receiving tremendous tirades over what we luni uo baud in. because we happened to be present when the scolding habit was yielded to by one of Its victims. Scolding Is easy. It takes neither power of brnln nor heart to scold. It does not even make nny great draft upon the physlcnl being. Any fishwife alive can bt a grand success nt scolding. Why compete with her? Scolding should be compelled to perish from the earth. The tongue, the voice, the eye. the face—nil should be trained not to scold—yes. and the pen, for of all things a Scolding pen Is the worst.

"The American people are great theater goers nnd spend about IU2.000.000 annually for such amusements," said a prominent theatrical manager to the writer recently. "This vnst sum of money is paid Into the treasuries of some 1,000 companies, which wero estimated to be playing 111 all parts of the United States last year. This Includes everything that can be considered strictly professional companies, to say nothing of the countless amateur organisations. "Of the strictly theatrical organizations It Is safe to say that the average receipts per atgbt for the 1.000 companies Is $400 each. At seven performances per week for each company the weekly average would be $2,.soo. The average theatrical season Is 40 weeks. The entire l.ooo companies, with average nightly receipts of $loo. would produce weekly receipts r.t seven performances per week amounting to $'-'.- 800,000.

THE ABILITY OF DR. CHASE Is Measured by the Cures He Makes—Each Remedy Specific for Certain Diseases— A Remarkable Cure of Brlght's Disease. In this practical age a physician's ability is measured by the actual cures he makes. Judged by this high standard, Dr. Chase stands pre-eminent as a giant among physicians. Take kidney and liver derangements, for example. Dr. Chase, by means of his Kidney-Liver pills, has broughO about some of the most surprising cures ever effected. This is due to the direct and specific action of this great homo treatment on tho liver and kidneys. Hero Is the experience of a highly respected resident of Con- neon, Ont. :— Mr. James Dellihunt, Consecon, Prince Edward County, Ont., writes: "For several years I suffered great tortures of mind and body from Brlght's disease of tho kidneys. The pains wore sometimes almost beyond endurance and extended from my head and between the shoulders down the whole spinal column and seemed to concentrate across my kidneys. My back was nover entirely free from pain. When I got up In tho morning I could not st raighti'ii myself ut all, but would go bent nearly doublo moat all day. My water was (scanty and at other times profuse, and It gttve me great pain to urinate. "I could do no work, and, though I tried many kinds of kidney pills, could get no relief. As a lost resort I was induced by a friend to give Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills a trial. I felt a change after tho first dose. I used In all about Ave boxes, and they havo ontlroly cured me. I have no pains now and can do as good a day's work as I ever could, lt is a pleasure for mo to recommend Dr. Chaso's Kldney-Llver Pills, as they, have ib nn* so much for me." Mr. J. J. Ward, J.P., Consecon, certifies that ha has known Mr. Delli- hunt for years as a truthful man and respected citizen, and vouches for the truth of the abovo statement. You cannot possibly obtain a more beneficial treatment for the kidneys and liver than Dr. Chase's Kidney- Liver Pills. It has stood tho test of time and bus proven beyond disputo its right to tho title of "the world's greatest kidney medicine," One pill a dose, 25 cents a box, at all dealers, or Edmnnson, Dates & Co., Toronto.

Pale young girls, worn-out tnotheri, suffering wives and women entering upon the Change of Life, your best friend Is Dodd's Kidney Pills MOTIONS OF THE HANDS. flow the Railroad Ticket Seller Reads Character In Them. A ticket seller at nn "L" station amuses himself by watching the hands thrust into his little window; not as a palmist would, studying the shape, the length of fingers or the joints and measurements. The motions of the hands iu- terest him. "Do you Bee that woman on the platform?" he asked. "I'll bet shs^'s a close one. How do I know? Why, she's been coming to this station for years. She never offers more than a dime and puts out ono finger and at the same time tells me iu a positive tono 'Just one.' She holds on to the dime in a lingering way, as if she bated to turn It loose. I know she gives it a parting squeeze. And she siintehs-s the nickel I slide out as if sho was afraid some one else would try to set lt. "Tho impatient man is standing just behind her. I'd hate to live with him. He flings his money at me as if it burned his lingers, reaches out for his ticket and claws at the window ledge it I delay a moment. Then he snatches it up and runs through the turnstile. No, it is not hecuuse he Is la a hurry. He always does the same way,If there isn't a train in hearing distance. "Then there's the generous man. lie throws down some money, doesn't wait to count his change and is off. Sometimes he forgets the change and leaves it. Once he gave me a dollar, got his ticket and rushed to the train. I saved the 05 cents for him, and next time I saw him I gave it to him. But he pushed it back good naturedly and said: 'Oh, never mind! Buy the baby something with it and give her my compliments; she's got an honest daddy.' "The timid woman puts down her change in a hesitating fashion. "And the careless woman—she waits until she gets to the window to hunt her change. Then she dives down in ber pocket book and fumbles about, pulls out samples aud truck and sometimes drops her nickel after she succeeds iu finding it and has to look all over the floor for It, while the people behind fume and fret. There's generally something tbe matter with her gloves. "The cautious woman gives everybody the jimjnnis. She takes out her money deliberately and insists on handing it in to me with precision, which she accomplishes by gingerly putting her thumb and forefinger through the little hole in my window. When 1 give her the change, she counts it carefully, sometimes twice over, to be sure there is no mistake, and she never seems aware that she is blocking the way. She is never in a hurry, and if a train or two go by while she is getting this matter straight that doesn't worry her. Her maxim is one thing at a time, and she prides herself on not making mistakes. "Another character In our business is tbe man who has a good sized bill. He looms up just as a train Is approaching, ond the line behind gets as wildly excited as if tbat was the only one for an hour. It takes some time to give out the change and for blm to count it, but he manages to catch tlie train every time. People behind him don't That's where the trouble conies in. "Then there is the trnnsfer fiend who asks a hundred questions about how to get to a certain place, und then goes over tlie same conversation with tbe gnteman. What has Hint to do with hands? Nothing, except that I've been at this stand many years, and while I don't know the face of a single one of these individuals I can tell them by their hands." 1 neonselons lira us ot*. Neither Bret Harte nor Mark Twain, when they wrote of the Luck, of MTiss, of Captain Ned Blnkely. of Buck Fan- shaw nnd Scotty Brljtgs, had any idea how great tbey were or even that they were great nt all. They never dreamed that these sketches for the local journal would outlive the week that saw their birth and at last make the circuit of the world, becoming a part of the permanent wealth ot man. That gives these stories their inimitable charm. There is none ot the striving of the funny man ia what belongs to that first period, no setting of traps for our admiration. This is the same as saying thnt there is none ot that instinct of egotism which prompts a man to*inngh nt his fellow, to show how much wiser and cleverer he himself is. It is all free, generous and bountiful as the sunshine of the land where it was conceived, full of the spontaneous life of nature herself. A Sarcastic Professor. A good story is going the rounds at Columbia regarding one of the sarcastic professors, who was recently conducting an jrnl examination ia a very scientific study. There was one student—handsome, easy and self possessed—who appeared to be utterly ignorant of the simplest phases of the subject. Professor W. put question after question to him without receiving oue Intelligent reply. Finally tbe student snld naively, with Just a touch of reproach: "I'm very unfortunate, professor You never ask me anything I know."

A Grateful Woman Tells of Her Keltaae From tha Agonies That Afflict Her Sex After Three Doctors Had Pallet to Help Her. Tho amount of suffering borne by women throughout the country can never be estimated. Silently, almost hopelessly, they endure from day to day afflictions that can only fall to tlie lot of women. Tho following story of tho suffering and release of Mrs. Charles Hoeg, of Southampton, N.S., ought to bring hope and health and happiness to other sufferers. Mrs. Hoeg says : "For nine out of the thirty-two years of my life I havo suffered as no woman, unless sho has been similarly afflicted, can imagine I could suffer and yet have lived. Three weeks out of four I would be unable to move about and, indeed, at no time was really fit to attend to my household duties. 1 consulted physicians— Three of the most skilful doctors in tho county of Cumberland at different times had charge of my vuse. Theso all agreed in their diagnosis, but thu treatment varied; and while at times I would experience some relief, at no time was there any hope given me of a permanent cure. Many a night when I went to bed I would have been glad if death had come before morning. I never had much faith in proprietary medicines, but at one time I took a half dozen bottles of a blood-smoking compound that was highly recommended. This, like everything else, failed to help me. There seemed to be not a particle of blood in my body. My face was absolutely colorless, and my appet it.e almost entirely deserted me. I often saw in tho newspapers letters testifying to tho merits of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, but nine years of suffering and discouragement had made me too sceptical to see any hope of relief when doctors had failed to effect a cure. But at last • I came across the atory of a cure near home —that of Mr. Moses Boss, of Sod- ney. I knew that at one time he had been regarded as a hopeless consumptive, and his cure through Dr. Williams' Fink Pills determined me to try them. I had not taken two boxes before I began to feel better, and grew confident of a cure. I kept on taking thc pills, all the time feeling new blood in my veins, activity returning to my limbs, and the feeling of depression gradually wearing away. To many -women it may seem incredible that tbo mere making of new blood in my veins could restore to a healthy condition misplaced internal organs, but this has beeu my happy experience. My pains have all left me, und I am now as healthy a woman as there Is ia this place. This health I owe to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which have rescued me from a life of suffering, if not from the grave." Dr. Williams. Pink Pills are especially valuable to women. They build up the blood, restore the nerves, and eradicate those troubles which make the Uvea of so many women, old and young, a burden. Palpitation of tho heart, nervous headache, and nervous prostration speedily yield to this wonderful medicine. These pills are sold only in boxes, the trade mark and wrapper printed in red ink, at 50 rents a box or six boxes for 82.50. and may be had of druggists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine company, Brockvillo, Ont.

FRIDAY, Al'ltlL 12th. 1901, A pencil mark in the space opposite will be an indication to you that ye editor •considers thereis something coming to him on yoursub- eoription. Kiinllv acknowledge in cash and oblige. mil hum ai. fiioi-rixos. Last Saturday a delegation of 30 of ■the representative men of Southern •British Columbia left for Ottawa, to urge upon the Dominion government the advisability of erectingn refinery in the province, and so encourage the smelting and mining industries. There is no doubting R. F. Green's position on the question of Asiatic im- •inigration. Our member recently appeared before the royal commission ,and testified strongly against the Chinese and Japs. Both races, he considered, were a detriment to the well-being of the province, and he ""favored the total exclusion of all such immigrants. Mr. Green's opinions i are supported in toto by his constituents. There will be no strike at Rossland, at least, not for the present. Muckers have been getting only $2.50 per .day and they ssought to get the wage .raised to $3. Other grievances from .the miners were coupled to this and a mass meeting called on Monday last. A ballot taken on the question of de- , daring a strike showed 12 votes less than the necessary three-quarters required tp put the action into effect. It was a narrow shave, but it is hoped all difficulties in the way ofa peaceable settlement will be removed. The Industrial World, in a strong , article, refutes the insinuations made •in the statement of the Rosdand .mine-owners. By letters from Messrs. sSmith and Clute, who acted as arbitrators in the troubles of a vear ago, it proves that the mineowners are those at fault and not the Miners' .Union, in that they have failed to live up to their agreement. Blame .for the non payment of dividends is /laid to the heavy expenditures for .machinery and equipment for the mines, and to the small quantity of ore shipped. The Rossland miners are not looking for trouble, for they area peace-loving lot of men. In . conclusion the World says: The publication of thc mineowners' announce- .ment is not only untruthful but it is unfair, to the business people as well as the laboring element. The latter ,did not invite,neitherdoes it deserve, such action, and it is not to be won- , dered at if they resent it. What the town and camp would be without the operation of the Arlington and Speculator mines ia a subject one •little likes to speculate upon, yet the full bearing of the working of these i properties on the destinies of the burg has not been as clearly recognized as .it deserves to be. The two properties . constitute the principal portion ofthe payroll of the camp, and their ramifications arc the main factor in demonstrating the character an.1 richness ofthe mineral resources of the division. Their combined payrolls are in the neighborhood of 130 men, while indirectly many others derive a living from the mines. Business men, .freighters, and, in fact, all classes of the community, feel the beneficent influence of the thousands of dollars .expended each month by the Arlington and Speculator. It is a great thing to have the powerful combination of capital represented in these two properties operating in the dis strict, and their business-like manner in -conducting affairs is tending mightily towards attracting other nionied interests to become identified here. The coming summer will wit ness a lavish expenditure of monies ,on the Arlington and Speculator in general improvements, as the opera tors realize the sterling worth of their possessions. They recognize also the virtue of spending money to make •money. They deserve success. DRILL POINTS. The water in the lake is gradually rising. More smallpox is reported from Phoenix.
