Patsy Clark.^one of Spokane's leading capitalists, has bonded the Queen and Kootenay Belle mines at Salmo. both being gold propositions. The properties adjoin one another and are Situated alxiut 10 miles tip Sheep creek from the Nelson & Fort Shep paid railway. The Queen mine is owned by -I. A. Turner. M. Scully and W. Waluie of Nelson, but for the last nine months Mr. Waldie has had a bond and lease on It. He has assign- ] ed the bond to Clark for 880,000 cash j within 00 days, so that be is likely to make a good clean-up out ofthe trans action. Mr. Waldie has worked the property off and on for two years and a half, and recently broke into a fine chute of high grade ore. The claims of the Kootenay Belle group lie further up the bill from the Queen. A short time ago Bell Bros., of Salmo, leased the property from the owners, Billings &, Bennett, and put a number of men on to develop the property, Within the last few weeks three cars of ore has been shipped to the local smelters, netting the lessees about $50 per ton. This group has been bonded lor $100,000, the lirst payment of live uer cent falling due in May. The lessees have been Imught out,receiving $4000. Mr. Clark has commenced operations on his properties. CP.lt. BUilneiH Last Yenr. Robert Kerr.gcueral traffic manager of the C.P.K., makes the - following statement of the business of the road in 1901: The volume of travel during the year just closed has been very large, both on the company's steam ship and railway lines. Of the steamship lines the most notable increase has been on the I'acilie ocean, and it was due almost entirely lo the natural growth of business. The war iu the lax cast, if anything, had a favorable effect ou the company's busiuess. Business was also good in the company's 15 hotels, situated nil the way from Quebec to Vancouver, ami the number of tourists at the different mountain hotels was about 20 or 25 per cent greater than in 1903. The motive power and car equipment of the road have been largely increased during the past year una plans are already made for further additions during 1905. Iu addition tothe regular dividends, the earnings of the road were sufficient to give a tonus to the old shareholders. KNOX (111 HI 11. Annual Congregational Meeting Held on Friday Night.

Sargeni Perkins' real name was Chester Albert Montgomery Pflster, aud it was bis graceless uncle, Jack Pflster, who bad shortened it to Perkins, u title tbe bearer wore with meek resignation. It was Jack Pflster also wbo had declared Perkins to bave been horn a professional philanthropist. From his babyhood Perkins bad been possessed by a love of giving excelled ouly by bis desire that bis gifts be heralded to the world. Mrs. Pflster labored In vain to Instill into his mind tbe value of unostentatious charity. Ouee she had even sought to enforce her argument by aid of a hairbrush, only to lind her offspring an bour later watching a In nie boy eat tbe apple given him ns a hiilm for his wounded feelings nml gleefully informing the passersby that It was through his sacrifice that the other's enjoyment had been brought nhout. After tbat she decided that It would be well to wait until Perkins should have arrived at more mature years before continuing her argument. Then one afternoon Jack arrived with Perkins under his arm, the hoy clad only in his trousers. Between roars of laughter Jnck described how Perkins bad started in hy giving his shoes to a barefooted bootblack nnd, enthused by the Imaginary appreciation of the pas* •ersby, who hnd been attracted by the unusual sight, hud gradually parted with bis raiment, piece by piece, until his uncle's opportune arrival alone had saved the youngest member of the house of Pflster from coining home in a barrel and a state of nature, Mrs. Pflster deckled that heroic measures were necessary nt once and turned Perkins over to his father. The latter succeeded in convincing his son that popular applause was not an essential accompaniment to charity and that secrecy and good Judgment were more to be praised than ostentation— all of which, being reduced to words of one and two syllables, was duly ab- ■orbed by Perkins. Tbat night nt the table Perkins was permitted to come In for dessert, nnd he gravely listened to nn argument between Jaek nnd pretty Grace Tyson as as it was too prniiio a place to kiss JACK BUB KISSED l'l.l:i;j\s. to the value of fresh air funds. It was a hobby with Miss Tyson, and Jock was Jealous of tbe time slu* devoted to the fund because It interfered with their mutual pleasures. Perkins drank In Miss Tyson's glowing description of the joys of the city child in the country anil the willingness of the fanners to lake them for a ii week, lie decided that she must be right, though. He was unacquainted with fresh nir funds. Usually he was sent to the country'In May, but this year, some especial club business requiring his mother's presence In town, their departure bad been deferred. Fresh nir funds, be gathered, meant taking poor children to the country, when* tlie fanners fed them fresh milk and let them walk on the grass. Smh enterprises were greatly to be approved, sliu'e Uncle Ju^k condemned tbem. It hnd been through I'ncle .lack he had had thnt awful hour with his father In the library. Of course he did not know that after dinner, in the snme library, Grace handed bade her ring, declaring thnt she could not marry a mnn so thoroughly selllsh. Had he seen Jnck Pflster pacing tbe (lour of his room that evening even Perklai might have been sorry. Hut since It wns not considered necessary to Inform Perkins of his uncle's nffnlrs be continued in the belief that fresh nir fluids were most excellent things to he encouraged. They wero very simple too. It would he ensy to And a lot of poor children, and his Uncle Montgomery would finance tbe •offalr. u wag to thnt maternal relative that he nppMied the following morning, dropping ensunlly into his office. Five dollars wns promptly forthcoming, Mr. Montgomery having no Idea that the donation wns for Perkins' own particular fund. * Armed with the crisp note, Perkins rounded up half a dozen small boyi tJTid Invited them for n two weeks' trip to the country. These he march' ed to the railway station, ami on Iiis vague announcement that it wan a ——..ntlM fresh air fund the ticket sellet fell Into the error of supposing that it was a belated part of an excursion which had gone out tbat ver-.' morning from the real society. He provided Perkins witb tickets to a town a short distance up the river. With tbe change Perkins purchased a generous luncheon of cough drops and peanuts, and, thus equipped, the first personally conducted excursion of the Perkins fresh air fund made a start. It was a ride of an hour and a half by slow train to their destination. The lunch disappeared, and the children were tired and quarrelsome. Wben Perkins, with blind confidence, announced himself and his party as a fresh air fund and demanded to be shown the farmers wbo delighted to take in children, the station agent, who had been tormented that morning trying to handle the real party, promptly sent for the police force of two constables. The party was taken Into custody. Huddled Into one small room ln the village lockup things were not well with Perkins. He bad promised an outing, and instead they had been arrested. Boylike tbey took prompt and summary vengeance upon Perkins, who formed the lowest layer of a pyramid of six energetic youths just as Miss Tyson was ushered into tbe room. The constables soon separated the combatants, and bit by bit the story came out Miss Tyson flrst laughed; then ahe cried, and then sbe kissed Perkins a very great many times, for Perkins favored his mother—and Jack Pflster. Meanwhile there was anxiety in the Pflster home. Perkins had not come home for lunch. All of tbe relatives were telephoned, and a clew waa secured from Mr. Montgomery, who related the Incident of tbe five dollar donation. Jack Paster's quick wit solved the rest of the problem. Perkins' freaks were a constant source of delight to him, and he saw in a moment how the argument of the nlgbt before had borne fruit A telephone inquiry at tbe railroad station confirmed his theory, and barely had Miss Tyson made Perkins and his companions comfortable at the "fund" headquarters when Jack arrived on an express and made straight for tbe headquarters as the first place of Inquiry. Perkins did not know whether Jack was the more glad to see him or Miss Ty***vi, but he was certain that Miss Tyson cried very much more over Jack than she had over bim. At any rate his explanation that he was merely trying to carry out the paternal injunction not to make a display of bis good works fell upon unheeding ears, for Jack was protesting that be bad been a cad tbe night before, and Miss Tyson was vehemently declaring that he was a shamefully neglected and decidedly dear boy, which explanation being made she took back tbe ring. Then because lt was too public a place to kiss Jack she kissed Perkins even more than she had in the lockup, to that young man's great bewilderment, for lt had been more than an hour since he had been found. Tben he and Uncle Jack went back to town, where Perkins was made much of by the family. "I think," he said late ln the evening as his golden bend drooped drowsily upon bis mother's shoulder, "that when you dou't tell more people find out than when you do." With which sage conclusion be wertl to bed, while Jack Pflster went to the library to write to Grace. A Han. "So," aaid the head of the firm, "you've decided to go Into business for yourself, hnve you? Do you think you can make more money that way tban we are paying you?" "I'm afraid not," replied the employee. "Then wby do you want to leave here? Haven't we treated you well? Vou get a vacation, with pay, every summer. When you hnppen to be sick you're not docked, and I've always made it a rule to treat my men as well ns I know bow. If lt isn't going to bo to your flnauclnl advantage 1 can't see why you want to leave us." "Well, you see, I wns reading the other day thnt uo man can serve two masters, and I've been thinking about It a good denl since nnd about made up my mind tlmt It's so." "Two musters? What do you mean? I guess I'm the ouly master around bore, ain't I?" "Yes-but" "But what?

It Has Withstood Vtela»ltBdats *H Over Twenty Centuries. The Pantheon is the most interesting of all the Interesting places of Borne. It waa used for its present purpose as a place of religious worship before the foundations of the Coliseum were laid. Its huge doors have opened to admit the great ones of the earth, from Augustus Caesar to Napoleon, an assertion that will scarcely be disputed. It stands ln the very heart of old Borne, and tbe vicissitudes which have befallen tbe Eternal City during the 2,000 years of ita existence have left it practically unchanged. The gilded bronze that lined its roof has been carried off to "decorate" St Peter's, wbere, In the form of clouds and Cupids, cords and curtains, it fills the beholder with displeased amazement. Its tiles of bronze and gold were removed to Constantinople 1,500 yeara ago, and the statues which adorned lt have long since perished. But the mighty walls yet stand, firm as ever, sweeping up to tbe majestic dome, the largest though not the highest In the world. One hundred feet across, a hundred feet high and perfectly circular, no architect could design a building more perfect in its proportions, more harmonious as a whole. It is lighted solely by an aperture in the dome, a circle thirty feet across. Standing on its marble floor one looks up to tbe greatest dome man ever raised and through that to the blue dome which bends above it sending summer sun or winter rain through those bare ytft-ds of apace. Tbe effect ls so Impressive, so entirely unmatched and unrivaled, that the dullest of hearts and most untaught of minds must perforce acknowledge ita Influence. A man may think St Peter's "disappointing," may condemn the Coliseum as barbaric or decide that be does not care for tbe catacombs, but every man who has viewed lt bas been impressed, even to the pitch of respectful silence, by tbe Pantheon. The huge leaves of the bronze door revolve on their mighty hinges as they have done since the days of the Caesars, and so perfectly balanced are they that a woman's wrist can unclose them. Through those doors tbey carried Julia, Caesar's daughter, with all the pomp of her imperial power about her. And after the lapse of twenty centuries King Humbert was brought across the selfsame threshold to sleep his last sleep in the ancient place. The Archbishop's SoBBeatlon. The late Archbishop Corrigan was j one of the gentlest of men, but when It \ was necessary to reprove any one un- I Her his charge, whether priest or lay- 1 man, be never hesitated to do so. At ! one time there was a vacancy in the i rectorship of one of the large churches | ln New York city, ond several clergy men were talked about for the posl- i tion. Two prominent women who were members of the church called upon the : archbishop and urged the selection of ! one of their clerical friends. As they : were leaving one woman turned to the other ond said impressively: "Wheu you get home pray that the noly Ghost mny give the nrchbishop i the grace to appoint the right man." Like a flash the archbishop turned around and said in icy tones: "Whlie you are at it ask the Holy Ghost to give women the grace to attend to their own business."' Love. Lord Byron, brilliant, benntiful nnd unscrupulous ns his own Don Juan, left behind him the maxim tbat tliere was but one real form of happiness in love— where a ninu and woman so adored each other that tliey could conceive of no happiness out of each other's sight, and this for their whole lives. Qrant that this is to demand a great deal, yet it is true that all the In* fiuencea of long life combine to Identify two who dwell together. Their very faces often grow more alike, and how frequently tbe death of one is followed •speedily, without sufficient visible reason, by that of the other also: The wife of a burglar wns being examined by nn eminent lawyer.

BOND'S CASE HE WAS CURED OF BRIGHT'8 DIS* EASE BY DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS Doctors Said There Was No Hope For Him but He la a Well Man Now Mount Brydges, Ont., Jan. 9.—(Special)—That Dodd's Kidney Pills cure Bright's Disease completely and permanently has been clearly shown ln the case of Mr. Robt Bond, a well- known resident ot this place. Mr. Bond does not hesitate to say that he owea hia life to Dodd's Kidney Pills. "My attending physician," Mr. Bond states, "said I was in the last stages of Bright's Disease and that there was no hope for me. . I then commenced to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and no other remedy. I used in all about twenty boxes when my doctor pronounced me quite well. I have had no return of the trouble since." Bright's Disease is Kidney Disease in its worst form. Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure it. They also easily cure milder forms of Kidney Complaint • , Tibetans and Jewelry.

A TIGHT PLACE. ..■en nm 4.1. . ",■ ■ •.,... . ■•w the Speaker Sn*/ed • CoagreM. ■u From • Costlr Joke. It was a gay time in congress one night wben there was .an all night session on the Mills tariff bill In 1888. It had been difficult to keep a sufficient attendance, and tbe house bad adopted a resolution directing the-sergeant at arms to compel the presence of absent members. One by one they were brought'before-the bar-of the house and after making all sorts of excuses and .explanations were permitted to go unpunished. About midnight Congressman Henderson was brought before the speaker. He bad, he said, no excuse to offer. "I was at a theater party," he continued, "when- I was arrested and brought bere. There is no sort of excuse for absence without leave." "I move that tbe gentleman from Iowa be fined $5,000!" called one of Henderson's colleagues. "I second the motion!" shouted twenty or mere members, all of tbem bis Wends. "It is moved and aeconded," said Speaker Carlisle, "that the gentleman from Iowa be fined (5,000. Those io favor of the motion will say 'Aye.'" Two hundred delighted voices shout ed "Aye!" "Those opposed will say 'No.'" Henderson's agonized voice waa alon« tn yelling "No!" There was but one way to slip out of the Joke and prevent the motion ' from being carried, and that waa for Speaker Carlisle to overrule the house. "The nays bave lt," said he gravely. "The gentleman la excused." Hla Waning Lore. "I am afraid George is beginning to prow cold toward me," half sobbed the young wife. "What's be been doing now?" inquired her mother sharply.

An Englishwoman hnd had a good deal of trouble with her husband, who, according to her account, was a monster of iniquity. Some one asked why she had married a person of such character. "Well, you see, be ain't my first," was the reply. "1 was pertickler about my first. This here's my second, and a bad un at that. But there"—with a shrug of the shoulders—"he's a shade better than the w.ork'us!" A MOTHER'S PRECAUTION There is no telling when a medicine may be needed in homes where there are young children, and the failure to have a reliable medicine at hand may .mean much suffering, and perhaps, the loss of a priceless life. Every mother should always keep a box of naby's Own Tablets in the house. This medicine acts promptly and speedily, cures such ills as stomach and bowel troubles, teething troubles, simple fevers, colds, worms, and other little ills. And the mother has a guarantee that the Tablets contain no opiate or harmful drug. One wise mother, Mrs. Geo. Hardy, Fourchu, N.S., says: "I have used Baby's Own Tablets and find them a blessing to children. I am not satisfied without a box in the house at all times." If your dealer does not keep these Tablets In stock send ?5 cents to The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont., and you will get a box by mail postpaid. ' A Vibrating Wheel Takea the Place of tha Clock's Pendnlnm. A watch differs from a clock In Its having a vibrating wheel Instead of a vibrating pendulum and as ln a clock gravity la always pulling tbe pendulum down to the bottom of its arc, which is Its natural place of rest, but does not fix it there because tbe momentum acquired during its fall from one side carries it up to an equal iheight on the ■ other, so ln a' watch a spring, generally , spiral, surrounding tbe axis of tbe bai- i ance wheel, is always pulling this toward a middle position of rest, but does not fix it there because tbe momentum acquired during its approach to tbe middle position from either side carries it Just as far past on the ■•other side, and the-spring bas to begin Its work again. The balance wheel at each vibration allows one tooth of tbe adjoining wheel to pass, ns tbe pendulum does ln a clock, and tbe record of beats | ls preserved by the wheel which fol- j lows. A mainspring ls used to keep up the motion of the watch Instead of the weight used in a clock, and as a spring acta equally well, whatever be Its position, a watch keeps time, although carried ln the pocket or lu a moving ship. . In winding up a watch one turn of the axle on which the key is fixed is render I ed equivalent by the train of wheels to about 400 turns or heats of tbe balanct wheel, and thus the exertion during a few seconds of tbe hand which windi up gives motion for twenty-four oi thirty hours.

Editor and Proprietor of the Edmonton Bulletin Lever's Y-Z (Wise Head) Disinfectant ooap Powder dusted in the bath, softens the water and disinfects. 38 Newspapermen, like lawyers, have a faculty of drifting into public and parliamentary life, and Chose of the West, are no exception to the rule. Its number of parliamentary representatives Is few, but included therein are at least two men who reflect equal lustre on journalism and on .politics—Walter Scott, M.P., and Prank Oliver. M.P. A sketch of the former has already appeared in these columns and it now remains to say somewhat of the member for Edmonton and the editor and proprietor of the Badminton Bulletin. At the outset one Is confronted •with a serious, an almost insuperable difficulty. Frank Oliver is one of the most reticent of men in anything that concerns himself. That is, on paper. In personal conversation few men are more frank and outspoken, and he will ;;ive his views on any subject requested with blunt directness. But lie is the despair of reporters and interviewers, who, as often as not, find themselves the victims, rather than the operators, of their modern journalistic methods. Mr. Oliver can, whenever he desires, bo as uncommunicative as a clam. His bushy brows will lower threateningly over his piercing grey eyes, and then, if lie is wise, his interlocutor will grow wary. From submit ting patiently to cross-examination the Edmonton edi- tor-iiolitician will become restive— Bonreumes combative—in his replies, and turn the tables upon his tormentor. And, while Mr. Oliver recognizes the right of the public to know his views on questions of public policy, be altegether, and properly, denies its right to an iiiip.-rtlueui prying Into personal matters, and woe betide the reporter with tht* hardihood and temerity to take counsel of his own presumption rather than of the character of the person he desires to interview. Discomfiture, swift and certain, will be llis assured portion. Tlle Parliamentary Guide stales, in a four-line skeleton biography that constitutes almost the only printed record of Mr. Oliver's career, thai he was born iu Peel County. Ontario, In 1853, and is. therefore, in his lil'ty- lirst year, llo came to the North* west at an early age. aid followed his irade as a printer's journeyman, wmklng on the Free Press and other Winnipeg papers. Prior to' 1SSS he went lo lhe Territories and in that year was elected a member of the Territorial Assembly', the governing body which, with wider powers, succeeded ihe Northwest Council, In ibv general election of isiit; he resigned from tin* assembly to contest, the Dominion seat of Alberta as an in- dependent, mui was returned by a majority of nearly sen. ai the eleo* tlotl of l'.IUll lie won over tWO opposing candidate*' by about Ilie same plurality, while on November '■'• last, at the general election, his majority over bis .opponent was in the neighborhood of 3,000, and was one of Uie largest, if not the largest, in the Dominion. 'I'lils brief record of his public ('.'.reel* tells Its own story, ol' tlle growing strength of Mr. Oliver^ pop-1 uliirlty. In tho Territorial Assembly Mr.' Oliver was, in the old days, one of' 'be most forceful and striking figures, and; In the wider arena of Dominion politics, his downright, upright, forthright, fearless statements of policies and issues have wmi Inr bim national; fame. He was returned to Hie Canadian Com 111011s as an Independent, but tho passage of time has found him working in more and more complete harmony with the Liberal party. In Hie Ottawa House tliere nre many '""ti wltb greal cr grace or expression and of more attractive manners as| ■i speaker, but few are listened tO| wiih more attention than the plain* Poken member from tbe Western "rnlrles. lie has the faculty of going straight to the gist, mid heart of ''lings when he discusses Ihem. There] is no Indirection, no Indecision, nm '"•nting about the bush, in Whal be Ims to gay. Mr. Oliver bus thought "ii wlint he propones lo discuss, bus reached definite conclusions there-! ■'"eut, and In speaking has no other purpose than to convey, In as few words as mav be, nnd wilh Hie utmost possible'lucidity nnd straii'.lil- forwardness, wha< those conclusions are. After he is throiigh speaking no one has any doubt of what Mr. Oliver's opinions are, nor that he will defend those opinions with courage and tenacity. He believes that words were given to express, and not to conceal, thought, and acts and talks accordingly. If he has not yet come to fixed conclusions regarding any subject of public Interest, he is no whit ashamed to state the fact and never pretends a knowledge he does not possess, or to hide it under an assumption of oracular wisdom, or befog a plain issue by a cloud of mva- tifying claptrap. For the rest he'is a plain citizen, a man who believes in democracy, who is ever on the side of the masses against the classes, who hates with all the strength of a strong nature all forms of injustice and oppression, who nevor seeks and never avoids a fight, but who, once engaged, will struggle on to final victory with a tenacious courage that no obstacles can crush and no difficulties subdue. His is the the temperament of the pioneer; his the disposition that snatches victorv out of the jaws of defeat. Withal, he has a level-headed cannlness that seldom permits him to be placed in a false position, a shrewdness that foresees contingencies and avoids errors. Frank Oliver is no Don Quixote to run n-tilt into windmills, or to batter his head against stone walls. Caution, equally with courage, are his outstanding characteristics, both in his personal ani political career. As un editor, Mr. Oliver exhibits the same characteristics of energy as he has shown in public life. Ho took hold of the Bulletin when Edmonton was the most northerly of all Canadian towns, was practically isolated from the rest of the Dominion, and known principally as a convenient starting point for the journey into the hunting and trapping regions of Athabasca, the Peace and the Canadian sub-arctics. The Bulletin at that time reflected the pr-sent position and the future promise of the town. It. was the day of small things in Western journalism, and the Bulletin was no exception to the rule. Its news was fragmentary and ill- arranged and its presswork and make-up no better than that of dozens of otlier papers in Western Canada. Hut. even in those early days, Its editorial utterances were impressive in their Influence, and it became a proverb that what the Bulletin snid would soon be what the Territories thought. And. as time went on. every department of the Bulletin showed the growth and development of the country in wliich It circulated, and of the wider-reaching influence of the mnn wVo controlled its destinies. It grew bigger; it grew better. From a weakly weekly It developed into the most forceful and influential daily ln the Territories, ns is fitting to lie In the case of the citv that Is destined to be the one second in importance in Western Canada, Locally, municipally, polltleallv nnd territorially it has kept itself abreast of its opportunities nnd the develonment of the West. When one considers ho\r rapid has been that developr.ent, how largo nnd ever-wi'leniim the opoor* 1 unity, and how ndeeuntelv nnd with whnt enterprise tho Bulletin has discharged Its duties in these particulars, none enn denv thnt its editor is one of Western Cnnndn's most able journalists, as lv-' is undoubtedly one of its foremost public men. CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL. Only One English Kin*. Henry IV. Has Been Entombed There. The ancient cathedral at Canterbury shelters the remains of only one English king, Henry IV. That this par. tlctilar monarch should have been entombed there is the more remarkabU since he breathed his last ln the Jem sal*ro chamber of Westminster abbey, and It might naturally bave been supposed ln the circumstances that he would have been laid to rest in the abbey, where so many other of England's kings sleep their last sleep. It seems, however, that Henry before his death gave orders that he was to be burled ln the cathedral at Canterbury opposite the tomb of bis uncle, Edward, the Black Prince. For hundreds of years a story was current that on the way down the river a hurricane arose and that the people on board tbe vessel, convinced tbat the storm was caused by the fact that a king's body was on board, cast the corpse into the water ln the dead of night nnd, filling the coffin with rubbish, brought It with all pomp and circumstance to the cathedral. Some years ago the dean nnd chapter resolved to get at the truth of the story. So they opened the royal tomb and the king's lead coffin. For one brief moment dean and chapter gazed upon the kingly lineaments of that monarch whom Shakespeare describes as "sky aspiring Bollngbroke." Only for a moment, however, as the body crumbled to dust almost at once. But Canterbury now knows beyond all doubt that an English king rests within Its walls. Costly ( lilpprnnnir.

CKOFP1NUS. Hon. Charles Wilson, attorney general, has returned from his trip to England, and is busy getting things in shape for the meeting of the legislature. For the first six months of the current fiscal year the receipts of the dominion amounted to $35,130,598, and the expenditures $21,875,214, leaving a surplus of upwards of $13,000,000 over ordinary expenditure. The dominion parliament opened last week with rather more than the usual ceremony, Earl Grey, the new governor-general, creating n favorable impression. The session promises to b6 «hort,the principal feature outlined in the speech from the throne being the granting of provincial autonomy to .the Northwest Territories. " Hon. R. L. Bordeu will continue as leader of the Conservative party in Canada, such being the decision of the caucus held in Ottawa last week. A aeat for the commons will be found tfdf Mr. Borden in Carlton county, Ont. It is the intention to call a dominion convention at a later date and thoroughly reorganize the party. Ontario is experiencing the warmest provincial campaign in its history, the struggle daily growing more heated and bitter.' Premier Ross is putting forth evfery effort to win, but so many of his followers hare quit him because ot the political corruption and temperance cries, that it is felt victory will liest with the Conservatives on Wed nesday next. J. J. Campbell.manager of the Hall Mines smelter at Nelson, has written The Drill, denying that his institution has raised the rate of treatment upon Slocan ores, nnd stating that no foundation for such a report exists. A couple of weeks ago this paper stated mineowners were complaining that the local smelters had increased their rates coincident with the bestowal of a bounty on lead ores by the dominion government, and that the major portion of the bounty weut to the smelter rather than the mineowner. The Drill did not make the statement recklessly, but rather upon the authority of one of the prominent members of tho Silver-Lead Miueownera Association,* ho made the assertion unreservedly and without solicitation. On the one side, therefore, is a plain statement; on the other a flat contradiction, and the public must draw their own conclusions. TJiat there is, however, something radically amiss with the mining industry in the Slocan, both in the wet and dry ore belts, is lieyond cavil, and there is not the genuine prosperity prevailing the inhabitants would like to seo. Records of the weekly output sustain this contention, and dissatisfaction and unrest do exist. The output of the Slocan is far short of whnt it hns beon, or what it might reasonably be expected to lie. One thing sure, thc element of hot uir has been eliminated and the district is rapidly getting to the point where its real worth aud value may be realized. That point, to the hundreds who have acquired real estnte or embarked in business in the various towns, is by no means cheerful to contemplate; and to this factor is undoubtedly due much of the dissatisfaction existing. Yet, it must not be forgotten that the mining industry is', not in a healthful condition, as only a small percentage of the properties are working. It cannot be laid to the wage question for the daily pay of the worker has seen no advancement, but the cost of living, mining supplies, etc., have increased. Despite Mr. Campbell's assertions, the impression prevails that the snwltors are partially to blame for the state of affairs existing. If they are nut,then the mineowners owe it to smelters to set them right before lie public, DRILL POINTS. Pay up your subscription. W, R. Megaw has closed his store at Sandon.
