W. F. Robertson, provincial mineralogist, paid his Brat visit to the Slocan City miuing division last week, spending eight days in examining into its resources and capabilities. In that time he inspected the Enterprise and Iron Horse, on Teu Mile; tho Ottawa, Arlington and Black Princeton Springer; the Howard Fraction, Kilo,Legal nnd Chapleau. on Lemon;and the Republic and Club, near town. These he characterized as typical properties of the camp and baaed his conclusions thereon. Mr. Robertson stated his observations had moro than fulfilled his expectations. In some particulars he was disappoiuted.but taken altogether he was more than surprised at the extent of the mineral deposits of the camp and the possibilities thereof. Of course, he would not particularize on any one mine, but he would take the division as a whole. He did admit, however, lhat the Ottawa had lieen an eye-opener to him, as he did not expect to see such a good thing. That it was a dividend-payer was beyond cavil, and its success must encourage others. The ore bodies were large and he believed high grade, while the development done was extensive aud workmanlike. The Enterprise was another good mine, with a high percentage of ore chutes, Imt it would not stand a high capitalization. In the Lemon creek section the evidences of mineral wealth Were numerous and pronounced, and its gold values undoubted. What was required for tbe creek was a custom mill, for treating the various ores. It was not the proper thing to ship thein hs they should all lie treated locally. For one tou of ore shipped there must be .six otheis mined and left ou the dump, and that was practically much value wasted. Summing up his remarks. Mr. Rob- rtson said it was a shame more properties were not being operated by their owners. The camp deserved bettor things of investors, ns the exposures of ore were many and encouraging. There wis room for new capital and. while all would probably not meet with success, there would be numerous winners. The secret to success for the whole camp was the treatment of the lower grade bees, of which there appeared to lx* an Immense available tonnage. Another important point to remember was not to overcapitalize a proper! v, as there were few mines that could stand a heavy top burden. A judicious expenditure of money and careful management would reap their own reward. In general terms Mr. Robertson spoke well of the dry ore lielt. and deemed it worthy of inspection from investors. His report will not appear till next year, but it is likely a synopsis of it will be issued this fall. Its appearance will lie awaited with interest. Mr. Robertson will also make a report on the upper Slocan. rilUM THK KI.ll.MHKK. Kditor Dmi.L: Sir,—I am working on 31 below Discovery, Sulphur creek.

Nothing new had cropped up on the freight rates •qtiestiou. Meeting adjourned till tho eecond Friday ia August THE OTTAWA IS ON VELVET. Thos. A. Noble, of Pittsburg, Pa., on his return Saturday from au inspec-f tion of the Ottawa mine, where he had been for two or three days, it being his first visit since he and A. B. Coleman, of the same city, purchased the property just two years ago, said to The Drill man: "I must congratulate tlje manager, R. J. McPhee, for the very apparent improvements upon the surface at the mine, there being four tunnels,ore house, bunkhouse, office, powder magazine, blacksmith shop, timber shed, aud ore sorting shed, where the great trouble seems to be to select the very little second-class ore from the many cars as they nre conveyed from the mine to the shed. This exterior view is a very small part of the development that meets you when you look into ami around the underground workings, with their 21X10 feet of tunnels, 460 feet of raises, and 484 feet of crosscuts. The tunnels have ore exposed for 560 feet, and from one raise to the other repre sents an elevation of 80 feet. The thickness of the vein at No. 4 level and at No. 3J level—the intermediate level between No. 8 tunnel and No. 4 tunue'--shows an immense ore body, and in two particular places ore is exposed iu the stopes with an average thickness of 3 feet. This ore will assay at least 400 oz in silver to the ton. Much credit is due to J. B. Foley, the foreman and mine boss, for the manner in which he has developed the underground workings, which have led to the discovery of these fine bodies of ore. The character of the ore is silicious, containing native silver, azurite, peibergite, argentite and gray copper. The output is two cars a week aud, in oiiler to provide for the proper future development of tho mine and to get at the ore at greater depth, No. 5 tunnel will lie started at once and pushed vigorously to completion, in and under the present levels, at a vertical depth of 1(X) feet. It i.s needless to say that no property in British Columbia shows a greater development than this mine within the time that it has been in operation, and it bids fnir to liecome the greatest mining proposition in the province." Not much noise hns lieen mnde nliout the developments at the Ottawa, and the success met with is all the more gratifying on that account. For the money expended, the amount of ground broken is astonishing, nnd withal the work has been done judiciously aud to advantage. The Ottawa aafcy ctwiily be classed as the banner property of the camp. Before taking his departure on Saturday for Nulsoit, Mr.'Noble stated he was carrying back with bim from tho bank proceeds from ore shipped sufficient to cover the purchase price of the Ottawa and to meet all development, so that in future all profits earned would be on velvet. He estimated that the reserves of ore blocked out were sufficient to enable shipments to be kept up r.t the rate of two cars a week for 18 months. Development, however, will lie maintained ahead, as has been doue in the past. Every point of working in the miue is in ore and making money. None of the ore is coming from the west vein, it being held in reserve. Where opened it, too, discloses pay ore, and bids fair to rival the east vein. Queried as to the Iron Horse, Mr. Noble stated he and his associates were planning to resume operations there. They had access now to a process that will successfully treat the ziuc ore of the Enterprise and Horse, and it would be installed ou the creek. Tho present Enterprise mill, if assisted by this uew process, could lie made the salvation of that section of the camp. Mr. Noble said, in conclusion* that all that was required here was for one or two properties to work profitably and confidence would return. The Slocan City division was full of gootl things and no better field for investment was to lie found in the west. Wero it located in the States, the camp would be a hummer, and its merits and ^sources wili evcjftoati.v make it a winner. ANOTHER OPINION OF THB OTTAWA. OUR ORE SHIPMENTS SUBSTANTIAL SHOWING MADE WT THIS DIVISION. Urt Ycor'i Shipment* Were 1339 Tune— A Health*/ Kvldenee or the Ufe a,rtl Wealth of the Camp-Ottawa 1. tha Biggest Shipper. A notable increase took place this week in ore shipments, no less than 1015 tons having lieen sent out. Tho Ottawa-headed the list with 66 tons to Nelson, followed to the same place by 20 tons shipped toy the lessees.of tho Neepawa, and 20 tons to Trail by the Enterprise. The outlook for tho camp is cheering and prospects are weekly growing brighter. Several movements of importance are on foot. To date the output of the camp is 1247 tons. For 1008 the ore shipments from tho local division amounted to 1389 touB, made up from 17 properties. Following is a full list of the ship ments this year to date: Accompanying Mr. Noble on his visit to the Ottawa was A. W. Sayles, representing the Mine & Smelter Supply Co., of Denver, Col. It was his first trip in here, and he cams for the purpose of equipping the Ottawa with a p >,ver plant and mai;biuery, if need be. Mr. Sayles i* an experienced mining ni iu and knows a min-) when he-sees it. He unbosomed himself thusly: "The Ottawa requires no machinery for its operation, being oue of the •riirtptftit pnvi'i'tie* to operate I have eve:* se>n. I came prepared to see a fair mine, which had 1k*'*ii highly lauded by its owners, but I wns astonished. No exaggeration had been mule of th;> property. Tho development accomplished tor th a money expended is remarkable, and the results achieved must ba gratifying to Mr. Noble. Thore is uo discounting th"* ore In sight, either as to extent or valuo There is a practically continuous ore chute so far exposed of 260 feet, with tho end not yet in sight. In one stope there is a face of four feet of rich ore. With its present development the Ottawa is a mine, Init with the No. 5 tunnel driven in it would make a liitf proposition, aud an immense money-maker, It surprises me to think the west vein has not been exploited, as I believe it will fully equal the east vein as an ore producer. The Ottawa has proven au agreeable surprise to me, as I had no idea such a thing existed in the country. Its record of paying for its purchase and development in two yenrs is as unique as its remarkable, especially as the value of the mine is now infinitely greater than it could have been at the time of its purchase. Mr. Noble's great success will Ih* sure to attract to your camp niiiny monied men, as there is plenty of idle money awaiting investment. One or two more successes nnd you would have a prosperous camp." RICH STRIKE ON TEN MILE. Oue of tho richest and best strikes of the year was made last week by Pete Swan and S. Lauderbach on the Highland Light group, Ten Mile. The meu came down Thursday evening for more ore sacks and confirmed the report. The strike was made in tho No. 2 tunnel and consists of 14 inches of ore, carrying uative silver and much ruby silver, making it the prettiest specimen stuff seen in the camp in a long while. The meu filled nil the sacks they had and then came down here for more. Last year in the same drift a barren streak appeared and it looked as if the ore had been cut off, but the first shot this year opened it up bigger than ever. Tlie Highland Light group consists of four claims, of which the Victor is the liottoiii one. They are located two miles back from the half way, on the north side of the creek, being six miles by road aud trail from the lake. Two ledges have been proven on the ground, each containing high grade shipping ore. The vein now being worked has lieen more fully developed, as beside* open cuts it has two tunnels, in 26 and 25 feet respectively, and a crosscut to the vein of 40 feet, Where cut in the No. 2 tunnel the vein has a depth of BO feet, and at the crosscut 90 feet. There the ore body is wider and carries more ruby silver, the chute indicating great depth. Each year enough ore is taken out to pay for development. Last year 41 sacks of ore were shipped. Thirty of these came from the No. 1 vein, but the ore was not so rich as that now struck, yet it gave smelter returns of 480..>0 0Z in silver; 11 sacks of ore obtained from the No. 2 vein returned 672.20 oz in silver. Specimens of the ore may I*' obtained running into the thousands of ounces. The ore contains ns by-products aliout 0 per cent lime, 40 to 70 per cent silica, and 2 to B per emit iron, making u splendid flux. The meu went linck again Mouday with more sacks and will prepare u small shipment to go forward at once. MINE. WRKK.

For some time past it has been an open secret that Montana people were seeking to purchase the the Kilo group of gold claims, on Lemon creek. It was thought the recent test of ore from the mine made at thc Chapleau mill would conclude the negotiations aud the transfer be made. However, the returns obtained from the mill run had a much different effect than anticipated. A telegram was received last week by N. P. McNaught, of Silvertou, bom bis brother in New York, stating that the returns obtained were too rich to sell the mine nt the figures involved, and thnt the owners would keep the property and work it themselves, a party coming" out with plans for a mill and instructions. It is not often that a deal is called off because the ore is too rich, aud the Kilo case stands as a record for this division. COLORADO RETURNS OOOD. Ralph Gillette received his return* Wednesday on the shipment of ore he made recently from the Colorado, on Twelve Mile.

Selection of Anlm.i'-. lin edlnj nnd Quality —Age fur Killing l'l'i'imratloii of Animal. f>r Sluu ;n er. The Ottawa Department of Agriculture sends out the following: Much valuable information regarding the butchering, curing and Keeping of meat is given In Farmers' Bulletin No. 183 of tho li. s. Department of Agriculture, entitled ".Meat on the Farm." The many illustrut ions enable anyone to follow closely the directions for killing and cutting up tattle, sheep aud swine. Tbe general advice given Is worthy of close attention by all farmers who do not depend on the butcher for their meat supply. Selection of Animals.—The author of the bulletin points out that In the selection of animals for meat health ahould bo given first consideration. No matter how fat nn animal may be or how good its form. If it is not in perfect health the best quality of meat ennnot be obtained. Jf suffering from fever, or any serious derangement of tho system, the flesh will not be wholcsomo food. Flesh of animals that have recovered from the ravages of disease before .slaughter is not likely to euro well and is very ditfi- cult to keep after curing. Bruises, broken limbs, or liko accidents all have tho same effect on the meat as ill-health, and, unless tho animal can be killed and dressed immediately after such accident it is not best to use the meat for food. A rise of two degrees in the animal's temperature at or just previous to slaughtering is almost sure to result In stringy. gluey meat and to create a tendency to sour in curing. Condition.—First class meftt cannot bo obtained from animals that are poor in Mesh. A reasonable amount of flesh must be present to give juiciness and flavor to the flesh, and the fatter an animal is, "within reasonable limits, the better will bo the meat. The presence of largo amounts of fat i.s not essential, however, to wholesome ment und it Is far moro important tbat an animal bo in good health than that it be .extremely fat. It is not wise to kill an animal thut is losing flesh, as the muscle fibres ore Shrinking in volume and contain correspondingly less water. As a Consequence the meat is tougher and dryer. When an animal is gaining in flesh the opposite, condition obtains and a better Quality of meat is the result. Also a better product will be obtained from an aiiimul in onlv medium i1ck.Ii but gaining uipidly than from n very fat animal that is at a standstill or losing in Mesh. Brooding and Quality.—Quality in meat is largely dependent oil the health and condition of the animals slaughtered, uml yet the best quality of meat is rarely, if ever, obtained from poorly bred stock. The desired "marbling" or admixture of fat and lean i.s never of the best in scrub stock, nor do the over-fed show-ring eiiimuls furnish the ideal iu quality of meat. There seems to bo a connection between a smooth, even nnd deeply fleshed animal and nicely marbled meat that, is not easily explained. Fine bones, soft luxuriant hair and mellow flesh are always dor eirable in an animal to be usitl for meat, as there are indications of Bmnll wasto and good quality of meat. Ago for Killing.—Age affects the flavor and texture of the meat to quite nn extent. It is a well known fact that meat from old utiiiiiiils is more likely to bo tough than that from young ones. Tbe flesh from very young animals lacks flavor and Is watery. An old anitnul properly fattened and in good health would be preferred to a younger one in poor condition. Cattle are fit for beef at eighteen to twenty months if properly fed, though meat from such animals lucks in flavor. Tho best lioef will bo obtained from animals from twenty to forty months old. A calf should not bo used for veal under six weeks of age, and is at its best when about ten weeks old and raised on the cow. Hogs may bo used at nny ago after six weeks, but the most profitable age at Which to slaughter Is eight to twelve months, Sheep may be used when two or three months old nnd at nnv time thereafter. They will be at their best previous to reaching two years of age, usually at eight to twelve months. Preparation of Animals for Slaughter.—An animal Intended for slaughter should be kept off feed from twenty-four to thirty-six bonis, otherwise it is impossible to thoroughly drain out the veins when the animal Is bled, and a reddish colored unattractive carcass will be the result. Water should be given freely tip to the time of slaughter, ns it keeps tho temperature normal and helps to wash ihe effete matter out of the system, resulting in n nicely (adored carcass. 'i'he (are of animals previous to slaughter has a considerable effect on the keeping qualities of the meat. In no Instance should nn animal be killed Immediately after n long drive or afler a rapid run nbout the pasture, Tho flesh of nn animal that has boen overheated Is usunllv of n pale color and very often develops a sour or putrid odor within three or fmir dnys nfter being dressed. Tlruises cause blood to settle in thai portion of the body affected, presenting nn uninviting appearance, and often cause tin* loss of n considerable portion of the carcass. Therefore, a thirty-six hour fust, plenty of water, Careful 1111111111111'. nmi ret beforo slaughter ore oil Important In se- rnring meat In the. best condition for USf} Anstrullan Perennial Rye.

Suit pui* and poultry are iu general use, hut if is evident that a liberal supply oi fresh beef would make lhe problem of preparing meals much eusier for lhe women of the household, unit would ensure a moro wholesome uud palatable bill-ol'-fare for lhe family, fhe average fanner is several miles from the nearest biilcber, and would lind it both inconvenient and expensive to send a member of the family lo town every clay or two lor fresh meat, especially iis both men und horses uro apt to" lind their time fully occupied. Agafn lhe farmer's family could not consume a beef animal before it would spoil, so it is out of the question lo think of killing bis own. In order to make tlie use of fresh meat possible iu every farm noine. -even during summer months, ihe Live stock Commissioner, Ottawa, rorom mends the more general establishment. of beef rings, which have lieen sue cessfully carried on for years iu some sections of Canada*. Beef Kings.—'I hese rings are nol. as the name might indicate, "trusts for the control of the product ion and nalo ol" beef, but are groups of farm ers who co-operate lo supply theii tables withi fresh meat during 0'.' summer. The ring is usually coiupos- ed of sixteen, twenty or I Wonly-foiir members, although sometimes us many ns forty are enrolled. lueh member agrees lo supply one be'f animal during the summer, and in order to give plenty of lime lor preparation, tbo members drawlots ihe previous winter to determine tl''' order in which tb".V shall contribute animals. After tlie drawing members muy exchange numbers if tbey lind it mutually advantageous., 'Iwo small families may combine for one share. 'I'he Animal.—'fhe regulations usually provide that each member shall supply a steer or heifer under three years old, sound, healthy and in good condition, dressing fioni 400 to 500 pounds of beef, and grain-fed for at least six weeks previous to Killing. If an anitnul is not up lo the standard it muy be rejected nnd the owner compelled to supply another, or it may be accepted at a lower Valutit ion. Tho decision iu such cases i.s left to tbe secrelary or a duly appointed committee of inspection. Killing and Distribution.—A butcher i.s employed to kill and cut up lhe animals, tlie owner retaining the head, heart, fat and bide. Tho amount paid for killing and cutting up a beast is usually $2 to *.'_>.;Mi, with an extra dollar if tbe butcher makes delivery, which i.s not a general practice, Of course it is not neiessary to employ a professional butcher, but a man is ripiired who can do the work neatly and well, and cut up tbe carcase nlong tlie usual lines and in the same way each time 'lhe butchon provides a look lor each member and hangs t hereon the portion for each family as lhe animal is cut up. Each ipbor should hnvo two meat bags with his iiiiine Oil, so that one of them may always be at the butcher shop ready lo receive tin* weekly portion. In the case of some rings each family gels only one piece; in others a good piece of tic hind quarter ami an inferior [liece of the fore quarter, or vice versa; in 'still others u member gels n bOllillg piece, a roust, and a piece of steak each week. lhe various CUtS are numbered, nnd an accural" record is kept by the butcher of the quality nnd weight, of beef received by each member. Jn this way it is possible to arrange for each family to receive approximately tl.e samo weight of meal, and (he same proportion of vitluablo and cheap cuts during the season. At the end of tho Slimmer the secretary of the organization furnishes each member with a Statement of Ibe year's operations, compiled from the butcher's records. As no two animals will have been of tlie snifie weight, small balances will have to change bunds in order lo equalize mutters. As a standard price is ulways agreed upon ul lhe beginning of the season, say li ve or six celils per pound, there are no disputes at the close. Members who have received more beef thun they supply puy for the difference ul the price agreed upon; those who have put in more than tliey have received are paid in the same Way. 'fhe Advantages,—Wherever it has been tried this system lias given excellent results, as is shown by the fact that it is diilicult to ram admission to tlie rings, as there is no inclination to drop out. 'lhe farmers' wives and daughters un- particularly well pleased, lis lhe abundance of fresh meat ai iheir command simplilies the question of providing suitable meals. 'I'lien the fnnners gel their beef al the actual cosl paying no more for the best cuts than they would for lhe cheapest they conld buy in retail. L'lldel' the operation of the beef ring each family gels its portion tvllhln a few hours after killing, so that tliere is little difficulty in keeping tho meal fresh for nearly a week, 'lhe usual method is to use lhe steak and roust first, und put ihe boiling piece Into brine or u refrigerator until needed.

How nud When lo Sow-Tlm De»t Sorts - S«vcr»l Uses ol tlio Cover Crops uud KeHiaiiu* for Them. On -May 17th the Dominion fruit Inspectors met in tho orchard ut the Central fcJxperlmolrtfti bui'itr and discussed cover crops. The subject Wus introduced by Mr. VV. T. Macoun, horticulturist, who guve bis expo.ri- ence Willi dillel'eut plan's "used Tor this purpose uud told whu.1 lie considered were the principal uses of cover crops. lb; said thut lhe importance of a covering for lhe soil in winter wus strongly impressed ou him after the winter of IKII.VUli when muny trees were root hilled at thu Central Kxperiitienlal Farm. Since tluit time the subject hud received much attention by his deportment. TllO main uses of the cover crop are: To hold lhe mow in winter und thus protect the roots of tlie trees; to furnish vegetable mat tor to plough under in the spring for tlie purpose of obtaining humus and nitrogen; and to act as a catch crop iu autumn to prevent leaching of plant food mado available during thu summer. llo recommended, us the best general practice for growers, cultivating the soil until near or aliout the middle of *luly when the trees have made most of their growth and do not need so much moisture, und then seeding down to Common or Mammoth lieu Clover sown broadcast at. tho rate of 3 2 pounds per acre or with Hairy Vetch at tho rate of !iU to 40 pounds per aero. Sown at that timo these plants usually make a good cover by autumn, At the Contrail lixperlmont- u 1 Farm Hairy Vetch was sown on June 18th, 1903, in drills *Jrt inches apart at the rate of 30 pounds per acre. Those received two Cultivations and by the end of the lirst week of August the plants were meeting lietween tho rows. Ily sowing earlier us in this caso a belter stand may be Obtained und by cultivation moisture is conserved while the plunls arc getting established. Twenty pounds per acre sown in drills iu this way wero found quite sullicient to make a good cover. There was practically no injury from mice where cover crops wero used as Iheir depredations were prevented by using either ordinary building paper or Wood veneers. No fruit grower should neglect having a cover crop us a line bearing orchard in bare soil might be dest rov cd which would have been saved luul tliere been u cover crop. Proof of this was furnished by the great "freeze" in Essex I'oiinty in 1890. Tho seed for the cover crop shouhl be sown, if possible, vv lien the ground Is moist, ns in the summer the seed will germinate quickly if thero is moisture. After the seed is sown the land Should be rolled ns this will bring the moisture to the surface and about the seed untl hasten germination It is Important to get growth Started in good time ns there is sometimes a protructi*.! drought In duly and AUgUSt which prevents germination and spoils thc prospect for a good cover crop. In districts where tho conservation of moisture is Important tho cover crop should be turned under ni soon as possible in tin* spring nnd in some parts plants which are killed by winter are preferred ns there is no loss of moisture ihrough tbem In spring.

Sensation and advertisement attempt the problem, but the desired results do uot seem to follow. Strange and faraway subjects do not startle the people, and many clergymen droop in enthusiasm nnd take on pessimistic views. The same cry goes up from the theatrical managers along Broadway, who decry the small audiences and tbo hick of appreciative response.

Do they command us much respect? Formerly the boy looked forward to college days and wondered at the mystic life he hoped to live. Now that is all lived and experienced in the preparatory school, and the boy goes solemnly forth to the university with no smile upon his face, a sober youth hard to interest.

Much comment has been excited by the circumstance that out of ibe recent wreck of the Darlington hotel in New York there emerged unscathed some men who had seemed to be exposed to a danger equaling that of the victims. Yet there was nothing that does not constitute a feature of almost every catastrophe in which life is lost. A resident of New York passing through Omaha ami having a few minutes to spare once bethought him to call on n friend. Beaching the office he found the friend absent and for half an hour. As the visitor was at bis friend's desk penning an explanatory line the wall of a neighboring building collapsed, and a toppling chimney killed him where be sat. The Omaha man had occupied n ehuir nt that desk for years during business hours. The New Yorker hud never been in Omaha before. Revolution of the Orient. Almost everywhere ln the far east the old days of cheap living are passing awny. Steamers, railways, telegraphs, newspapers, labor saving machinery and the production of western Ideas are slowly but surely revolutionizing the orient. Bhuugtung wheat, which formerly had no market beyond u radius of n few dozen miles from the wheatneld. can now be shipped by railway and steamship to any part of the world, nnd lu consetiuence every t'hinese buyer has to pay more for lt. In like manner new facilities for export have doubled, trebled and iu some eases quadrupled the price of rice ln China, Slum and Japan. Parka In Colorado S|iHna«.

ALL USED UP BY HEADACHES, Could Not Eat op Work-Powders and Quick Cures of no Avail -Lasting Cure Obtained From DR. CHASE'S NERVE FOOD. This case of Mr. Barber well illustrates the way in which llr. Chase's Nervo l''ood cures headaches. Ho tried thc so-called "quick cures" first, but without obtaining benefit. It is a well known fact that such remedies when they do bring temporary relief do so with a tremendous waste of nerve force and consequent injury to the system. Dr. Chase's Nervo Food cures by enriching the blood, vitalising the nerves and building up tbe system. Headaches, as well as all other symptoms of an exhausted system, disappear before its influence. Its cures lasting because it removes the cause of tho trouble. Mr. O. Harbor, Simcoe, Ont., writes: "Dr. Chase's Nerve Food is a splendid medicine. 1 was troubled for a long time with headaches, which would come on about once a Week with such violence lhat 1 could not eat or do my work. 1 tried headache powders und quick cures, which did no good. "About eight months oro I took six boxes of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, and I have not been troubled with headache since. It made a thorough and lasting cure."

The dominion government has introduced a new alien labor act—a sop to the workingmen tp assist the Liberals in tbe next elections. The Liberals have decided to oppose the Conservatives in the bye- election in Lillooet, their candidate being D. A. Stoddart A. McDonald is the Conservative nominee. He was elected by acclamation in the general contest and he should have no difficulty in holding his own now. There be strenuous times ahead for the people of Nelson, by reason of the increased number of newspapers in the place. The Ledge has just gone in from New Denver aud the Tribune has entered the daily field, making four weeklies and two dailies. There is a finish in sight for some one. Not a single Chinaman has come into the country sinee the poll tax wns raised. As a result the local government has lost a source of large income. A few days ago a cheque for $225,000 was made out for the province by the federal government, being their share of the receipts from Chinese in 1903. That business conditions in the city are not as lively ns one could wish them to be is to be acknowledged,still there can be no denying the fact that the mining industry, which is after all the mainstay of the district, is gradually recovering strength aud activity. The contrast between the present situation in mining and that of a year ago tends towards confidence, and the promise is for further expansion. Ore shipments are the index of progress in any camp, and in this respect the dry ore belt has reason to be optimistic. The local output is about twice that of a year ago, and the values received and prices realized are higher- There are just as many, if not more, men employed, and the outlook for the winter season is infinitely more encouraging. As if to further re-assure the people, there is the authoritative statement in this issue of the condition of affairs at the Ottawa, u property that is paying handsome profits each month. In two yeurs it has paid for its purchase nnd all development, with the mine in such shape as to command a price nearing quarter of a million. Let anyone read Mr. Noble's remarks and he must be convinced there is a future for the camp. Recent developments at the Black Prince,Chapleau and Kilo must also have an encouraging effect. Capital is regaining confidence in the camp and the result will be beneficial. W. F. Robertson, provincial mineralogist, endorses the merits and capabilities of the camp, and expresses surprise tbat more properties are not working. His words nro the official mark of commendation aud that ought to suffice. Because the town is experiencing a depression, don't throw up your hands in despair. The camp is all right and will prove a winner. ■otel Arrivals. Arlington—H. Mclntyre, R. S. Burton, E. A. McPheo, W. Koch, P. Benton, F. Fletcher, A. G. Gamble, Nelson; W. S. Stickman, M.

Bolderston has sold a portion of his stationery stock to J. A. Anderson. The remainder of the stock he purposes removing with to Vancouver. The Ledge's last issue in New Denver was a two-page fly, but filled with ads, It was remarkable for what it didn't say rather than for what it did remark. A moonlight excursion to Rosebery, Thursday night, was well patronized liy all the lake towns, the crowd afterward going off at New Denver and holding a dance in the Bosun hall.
