RKCOKI) OF OTTAWA.
A Local Property That Paid Well During
Past Year.
The operations of the Ottawa mine,
on Springer creek, havo been followed
with grent interest, uud the brilliant
success achieved during the past year
hus not only lieen pleasing to its owners, but has won for the dry ore belt
surrounding this town the commendation of milling men, liesides exciting
thc curiosity of investors. During
1904 the Ottawa made profits of JS9,-
000, inclusive of money spent iu the
acquiring of adjoining property. A
little ovei 1300 tons of ore was ship-
pen!.the record made proving the richness of the mineral. The Ottawa has
paid for 'tself, nil development, built
new road, constructed new buildings,
bought more ground, did a lot of surveying, ar.d has yielded a handsome
profit besides.
Utility In Need of Water.
Expert' aud laymen agree that the
Canadian Pacific railway is today face
to face with a most difficult problem
so far as its ow carrying business in
the Boundary is concerned. This
is nothing more or less than a shortage of water for making steam for its
locomotives. With the company hauling out nearly HO cars, or 2100 tons,
of ore daily from the Phoenix mines
alone, the situation is made more
acute, and the entire failure of the
water ripply from one tank on the
Phoenix branch intensifies the situation still more. On Saturday night
several engines, after hauling up their
empties to the miues, had to reiuru to
Eholt for water. Even at Limit the
supply has failed, and the companv
for mouths has been hauling n supplv
in tank cars from Givenwo xl,an I oveu
there the source i.s limited. This condition of affairs is brought about by
the unprecedented dry weather of last
summer, with very little wet weather
lx>fiM'e the snow came. Added to this
the frost came and froze up the avail-
ab'e springs.
Cut HU Fool  llinlly.
Phil Waters met with a nasty accident on Tuesday in the Dry Canyon,
ou Lemon creek. He wus splitting
wix>d for a lire when his axe caught
on a limb, fulling on his right foot.
The blade went right through the
foot, severing an artery, and cutting
his sock underneath. Phil and his
mate. Joe Terry, bound up the won ml
and partly stopped the blood. Joe
came into town for Dr. Cade, who
weut out to the wounded man. Next
day a number of the boys took a hand
sleigh and went out after Phil and
brought him down to Lemon siding,
where J. Hae had his team waiting to
bring the injured man to the hospital
here. The wound is a bad one and it
will lie some time healing.

MURK TIIOI'BI.K IN SIGHT.
Hiaeowarra Claim Suielteri are Charging Tuo Much.
The Slocan district no sooner gets
rid of one trouble until another looms
up larger than ever. It was thought
the lead bounty would forever dissipate the difficulties surrounding tlie
mining industry, but instead it seems
to have aroused covetous feelings in
those corporations dependent upon
that industry. Mineowners assert tlie
smelters have persistently raised their
rates for treating ores, and that the
latter ure getting the major portion of
the $15 bounty on lead. They claim
thev can ship to Europe, and that the
charges of freight, treatment, refining
iiud marketing won't be $8 per tou
more than local smelters nre charging
resident ores.
The Drill has lieen relinbly informed that unless the smelters abate whut
uie alleged to beexcessive charges,the
output irom the Slocan for 1905 will
be greatly restricted, Thote mines
having contracts with the smelters to
June 80 will iill theni, but alter that
date will demand new rates for treatment. It is believed the Marysville
smelter, now nearing completion, will
be an active purchaser of ores, and. if
so, there is some relief in sight. Failing that the Slocan will huve another
hard luck seasou.
MINKS   AND   MINIMI.
The Hewett, on Four Mile.has been
closed down tight.
Part of the force at the Neepawa
have been laid off.
La-*t week the Sandon mines ship-
lied 275 tons of ore.
The Enterprise sent out a carload of
ore during the week.
Rossland mines had an output last
year valued at $1,500,000.
W. Koch has three teams employed

During the past year W, Koch did

Ralph Gillette and partners sent up
over a ton of supplies to the Colorado
ou Friday.
For 1SKH the mines around Sandon
had an output of 16,255 tons of zinc
and galena.
Tin: Chapleau hist week sent out a
car of ore to Nelson, the first by the
present lessees.
The Black Prince sent out a carload
of ore this Week, being the first of a
large tonnage to go out.
Last vear th I Boundary mines produced ore valued at $1,000,000. This
year the output promises to be about
doubled,
Ex-Senator Warner Miller and associate's, of New York, are desirous of

OUR   ORE  SHIPMENTS

A Healthy Evidence mt tbe Life and
Wealth of the Curap— Ottawa le th*
Biggest Shipper.
With corrected figures available of
the output from the two leadiug
miues, it is now possible to givo the
real tonnage of the minoral output of
the Slocan City divisiou for the year
1004. A couple of shipments were
picked up from the Chapleau und Ottawa nt the end of December, iiud
theso have also had their bearing ou
the total amount. The Enterprise ore
has gone mainly to Trail, in sack*-*
while the Ottawa product has been
handled in bulk to Nelson.
For the year there was a total output of 2375 tons, valued, on a conservative basis at $2-37,500, There has
been an increase over 1903 of 1036
tons, being approximately 80 per cent
of ii gain. Nineteen shippers appeared in the list for 1904, as ugaiust 17 in
1903. Of course, tho main part of the
tonnage came from but two properties,
vet the other namosappearing are not
lightly to be passed over, in that they
include claims that have been developed during the year from the prospect stiige to the shipping point. A
large share in the total output also
represents the result of the leasing
systein,which has met with a fair measure of success.
The Ottawa was the leading shipper
of the year.it being credited with 1330
tons, the average grade of whieh has
been 190 oz in silver per tou or better.
It will continue to be a heavy shipper
during 1905, especially after the big
ore chute is cut by the No. 5 level.
Next comes the Enterprise, whose revised figures give it au output for the
year of 751 tons, Its ore has showed
an improvement in value over 1903.
During this year the lessee, W. Koch,
does not anticipate it large output, us
extensive development must be prosecuted in order to find new ore bodies.
A feature for 1905 promises to bo
tho shipments from the Black Prince,
the management of which expects to
market anywhere from 1200 to 2000
tons. A number of Lemon creek properties, some of them new, will figure
in the shipping list this vear, and
these, combined with thc old producers on the othor creeks, will undoubtedly give an increase greatly in excess
of that of 1904. All the creeks in the
division will produce ore during tho
year and there will bo quite ns many
men employed as iu the year just to
an end.
The outlook for the -dry ore belt
back of this town is encouraging for
the uew year, iiud there are always
the possibilities for greater activities,
particularly wero the Arlington and
Speculator to resume in full sway.
The one factor to extensive and permanent operations in the camp is the
successful treatment of the vast bodies
of low and medium grade ores at the
several mines Once this question is
solved then lasting prosperity will
rest with the camp, but unlil then the
situation will lie somewhat unsettled.
For 1903 the ore shipments from
the local division amounted to 1339
tons, made up from 17 properties.

Miss Eugenie Barnett looked discontentedly across the veranda at her
blond cousin lu the cushion piled hammock.
"You've no businesa to be ao pretty,
Julia Knox, and to look so absurdly
young. You are Just as old as I am,
and that Is twenty-a"—
"Hush!" The little widow sat up
Quickly. "You mustn't, Eugenie. If
we think we are young and never acknowledge that we are not young
We'll fool the people Into thinking"—
* 'A pocket edition of blue and gold,'"
continued Eugenie morosely. "That's
what Dr. Hunt called you, and it suits
you too. I tell you, Julia, it's little
abort of tragedy to worship beauty as
I do and ba homely aa a hedge fence
myself!"
"The cypress hedge fence at tbe foot
•f my garden is beautiful, I think,"
said the widow, lying back among her
cushions again. "Find another simile,
Eugenie."
The girl turned away Impatiently
With smarting eyes. She was so tired
of tbe continually booming breakera
and drearily whistling buoy. She wished sbe hadn't come to California to
visit Julia Knox. If Julia weren't a
widow or If Dr. Hunt weren't spending bis vacation here or If Julia weren't
so pretty and she so plain or if"—
"Eugenie, dear"—Mrs. Knox looked
out of half ahut, baby blue eyes—"do
you think lt was prearranged for you
and Frankle Hunt and me to play together as children and meet again at
Santa Cruz as grownups? Don't you
think that Dr. Hunt"-
"Who filches my good name?"
When a tall young man cauie around
the porch corner he saw only Mra.
Knox.   Her cousin had dian>*'ieared.
As Eugenie entered her .join her
cousin's clear tones floated through the
open window.
"Sho is having one of her spells
again because sbe isn't a Helen of
Troy, and lt reminds me of our school
days. Do you remember when she cut
oft her balr in a rage because lt was
brown and straight Instead of yellow
and curly like mine?"
"Now, I call that mean of Julia," Eugenie thought, her face growing crimson as she heard them laugh. If she
had not shut the window Just then she
might have heard the doctor's answer.
"No one but Eugenie thinks her face
Isn't good to look ut."
By and by Julia ascended the stairs
and tapped at her cousin's door.
"Dr. Hunt has his auto here and
wishes us to ride with him. Get your
hat and come on."
"Thanks. I have another engagement."
"All   right,"   answered  the  widow
■weetly.  "I'll try to make up for your
' absence."
"I don't doubt lt," observed Eugenie.
Mrs. Knox went down five steps and
paused. She wrinkled her white brow
unbecomingly, sighed and went back.
"Honey," she called softly, her pretty
lips at the keyhole, "did no one ever
tell you that along with tbe Barnett
nose you inherited the Barnett trick of
making folks like you?"
Eugenie's grim features relaxed.
"Good little Julia," she sigbed as tbe
red auto puffed away.
Her mind trailed back into the past.
She was a little, dark faced girl again,
playing with Frankie Hunt, her sworn
champion until her cousin, Julia Epps,
came to school. Personified daintiness
was Julia Epps, from the blue bow on
her yellow curls to tbe black bows on
ber tiny slippers.
One miserable, lonely noon bour Eugenie peered around the beech tree
where she and he had always played together and saw something tbe memory
of which even after a dozen years
made a green flame leap Into the woman Eugenie's eyes. Frankie Hunt
was putting on Julia Epps' finger the
ring which he had been digging out of
a black button for her, Eugenie Barnett.
Another day she and Julia sat on Julia's mother's porch eating cookies.
With her free hand Julia smoothed her
ruffled white apron couiplaceutly.
"Ho says he loves uie the best of
anybody," she announced coquettishly.
"Tomorrow is the last day of
school," answered her cousin, "and my
mamma says I may wear my lovely
new dress. Then you'll see whom he
likes best."
The   fair  Julia   tossed  her   golden
curls and answered grandly, "I think
dresses won't make any difference ln
his love."
"You'll see," Eugenie replied darkly.
That night Eugenie braided her somewhat curtailed tresses Into numerous
tight little braids. Next day, arrayed
In the new dress—how well she remembered the gay plaids—with fluttering ribbons, kinky locks and the mien
with her geography. Frankie Hunt
was tying a refractory shoe string.
When the teacher was out of sight he
Jumped over four Intervening desks to
Eugenie's seat
"You look awful nice, Genie. WW
you be my girK" be said.
And Eugenie answered solemnly, "If
you'll cross your heart and hope to die
you'll always love me better'n Julia
Epps."
The woman Eugenie laughed and
came back to the present.
"History sometimes repeats Itself,
she remarked.   "I don't see now why
Julia Knot"-
A half mile from Mrs. Knox's cottage the red auto, puffing back, came
upon a surprising sight A young woman, looking at once defiant and apologetic, her white dress mud spattered
and blood stained, her brown hair
blown about by a saucy sea breeze,
stood by the roadside holding ln her
arms a dilapidated yellow mongrel,
one leg swathed stiff in plaid silk bandages.
"Eugenie, where in the world are
you going with that dirty dog?" shrilled the widow.
"Home," answered Eugenie laconically, turning toward a short cut across
the hill.
"What's this?" and Dr. Hunt stepped
out of the auto. "Broken leg, eh? Well,
old fellow, you are in luck to get a
capable surgeon in your hour of calamity. BIT. bandages, too. I wonder if
the splints are gold or Ivory."
"1 had forgotten my handkerchief, ao
I had to use my neck ribbon," sbe ex*1
plained, starting to go.
"Get ln here, Genie!" Ho used the
pet name as ln the old daya. "This ls
better than walking."
"Oh, don't!" shrieked Julia Knox.
"Don't get ln here with that awful
dog! I can't bear the sight of blood!"
Sbe closed her eyes shudderlngly.
The little dog whined softly and tried
to lick Eugenie's face. Her pulse leaped as she met tbe doctor's eyes.
"You did it scientifically, and you
aren't a bit pale. Shouldn't you like
to be a doctor?"
"Or a doctor'a wife?" suggested Julia
Knok, a trifle maliciously.
"Will you, dear?" he asked eagerly,
watching the color flood her dark
cheek. "Wlll you be this doctor's
wife?"
"Well!" said the pretty widow explosively, "I guess I'm not needed bere.
Eugenie, if you can guarantee that
little beast not to bite I suppose I can
take him home for you."
"I can't," aaid Eugenie happily, starting for the third time across the hill.
"But," Interposed the doctor, "you
haven't answered my question. Will
you be my girl, Genie?"
Sbe looked back at blm with radiant
eyes and answered with mock solemnity:
"If you'll cross your heart and hope
to die that you'll alwaya love me better'n Julia Knox."

Kidney-Liver Pills.
Not even, are the lungs more aun
ceptible to the effect ot cold ^rat'B, of
overheating, of dampness or cold than
the kidneys.
This accounts for workingmen so
frequently becoming victims of painful and deadly kidney diseases.
Pains in the back are usually the
first note of warning. Then there la
frequent and painful or smarting urination, headache and derangementa of
the digestive system and bowels.
IF YOU WOULD PREVENT

To be certain of immediately arresting disease and bringing about a
thorough cure, you must use Dr.
Chase's Kldney-Llver Pills, which
have so many times proven their su-
perlorlty as a treatment for the most
serious diseases of tlie kidneys.
By acting on the liver and bowels,
as well as on the kidneys, Dr.
Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills effect a
thorough cleansing of the whole filtering and excretory systems and entirely rid the body of al! poisonous
waste matter.
..MR.    JAMES    J.    JENSON,   Olds,

"1 have been troubled considerably
with lame back, which I suppose came
from derangements of the kidneys,
and 1 have never been able to find a
treatment that was so prompt and effective in curing this aliment as Dr.
Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills. At two
different times in my life this preparation has entirely cured me of this
trouble, and of late years I have found
it unnecessary to use any medicine

The last great buffalo hunt enjoyed in
thc west took place forty years ago and
nearly all the half breed population then
in Manitoba engaged in tlie chase.
Some of those who took part in that
wild raid on the buffalo are now residing in Alberta and delight to recall the
remembrance of the great hunt with the
various adventures connected with the
occasion. In the fall .of 1864 the buffaloes had congregated in immense
numbers, south of the Turtle mountains
on the great plains east of the Souris
river. The hunting party was large and
consisted of men. wonien and children,
with nearly a thousand carts and hundreds of Indian ponies. As the hostile
Sioux were abroad the party had to
keep well together while outriders were
stationed at different points for the
purpose of watching the movements of
the buffalo herds and to give notice if
danger should appear.
The buffalo hunter of the plains possessed a peculiar character: he was a
skilful rider, a good shot, hardy, strong
and watchful and courageous. He
usually rode a horse possessed of speed,
strength   and   wind.    Like  his   master,
Sh* Had Ber War.
The late Counselor E., chairman of
the quarter sessions for Dublin, was so
remarkable for his leniency to female
culprits that a woman was seldom convicted when he presided.
On one occasion when this humane
barrister was in the chair a prim looking woman was put to tbe bar ot the
commission court, at which presided
tbe equally humane though perhaps
not so gallant Baron S.
She was indicted for uttering forged
bank notes. According to usual forms
of law, the clerk of the crown asked
the prisoner if sbe was ready to take
her trial.
With becoming disdain she answered
"No!" She was told by the clerk she
must give her reasons why.
As if scorning to hold conversation
with the official, she thus addressed
his lordship: "My lord, I won't be
tried here at all. I'll be tried by my
Lord E."
The simplicity of the woman, coupled
with the well known character of E.,
caused a roar of laughter In the court
which even the bench could not resist.
Baron S., with his usual mildness,
was about to explain the Impossibility
of her being tried by tho popular judge
and suid, "He can't try you," when
the woman stopped him short and,
with an Inimitable sneer, exclaimed:
"Can't try me? I beg your pardon,
my lord; he tried me twice before."
She was tried, however, und for the
third time on init led.
Where Time Ie Ko thine

traveling without a male escort in
those countries struck the poople whom

A   LOOK   AT   OUR   PROGRESS.
We will soon be closing another
year, aud again as we, the citizens ot
Assiniboia. the farmers of the West,
balance our books for another saason
we can look around us and see and
feel prosperity; we Know that we are
better off than we were a year ago.
and those of us who have been in the
West since its youth know that its
growth and progress are substantial
ihe pioneers who came to the
wheat belt of Western Canada made
a choice of two propositions when
they decided to farm; to select the
highly advertised lands ot the Da-
kotas and Minnesota, or come to the
less advertised territory of Manitoba
and Assiniboia. Were they wise in
their selection'.' Let us look at results.
The Blue Book for the ten years
'".il-oi gives the average yield per
acre of 12.07 bus. in N. Dakota and
10.04 bus. in S. Dakota, with an
average of all Western States of 12
bushels. The Canadian Blue Book is
authority for the figures that cover
the same period of years (91-'01) in
the Canadian West the average yieli
was lT.uT bushels, Those quotations
give us a feeling ot satisfaction when
we look backward for a dt cade and
realize that we are about 40 per cent
wealthier each year than our cousins
across the line. Even this year,
which has made so much dissatisfaction owing to the disparity In prices
caused by tlie crop failure in th
United states with the rust blight,
our returns per acre are more than
It we were farming in I'ncle Sam's
land. Our average of 17*£ bushels at
so cents would be $14 per acre;
Northern States average of 12 bus.
at 90 cents would be fll.68 per acre.
Tht* amount is not very large, only
1250 on a 160*acre crop, but it is a
nice nest i'gg. and though our prices
have to be governed by Br.nsli mar
kets, and the scarcity of milling
wheat across the border makes a lo-

thc horse enjoyed the excitement of the
chase and would strain every nerve to
bring his master alongside of the buffalo. In those days the buffalo hunter
was usually armed with a smooth bore
muzzle loading gun. llis supply of
powder was contained in a horn that
hung from the shoulders by a strap.
Tht. hunter kept several bullets in his
mouth for the sake of expedition in
'loading. When a drove of buffalo were
to be approached the advance was made
by hunters in the greatest of silence, the
leader of the party a little in advance,
his chief duty was that of restraining
the impetuosity of the more impatient
hunters and get his band as near thc
buffaloes as possible. At length when
the buffaloes commenced to move, the
uneasiness would increase and the herd
started, the leader would shout and
then every horse would spring forward.
All had to start, for no horse could
be restrained; bridles were let go, guns
were brought into position and the wild
cavalry bore down on the flying herd.
After the first shots had been delivered,
the hunter loaded his gun while his
horse was at full speed and in firing
care was taken not to raise the breach
higher   than  the  muzzle   lest  the ball
should  roll out, but, as the  rider was
generally   only   a   few   feet   from  the
animal  that  he wished  to  shoot there
wa's no such need to raise the gun to the
shoulder.    Sometimes   a   single   hunter
would shoot four or five buffaloes during   the chase   made on a good  herd.
The larger the drove the better chance
there was for the hunter as the animals
in   advance   retarded   the   progress   of
those in the rear where the attack was
taking   place.     Cows  and   young bulls
were  not killed  unless by accident or
when game was scarce.   On the occasion
of the great hunt the enrts were loaded
I with pemmtcan, tongues tai  skins of
buffaloes.    When a hunter had-dropped
j a buffalo at some distance from his com-
' panions. or from camp, the horse was
I tied to the head of the animal while its
I master  was   engaged   in  skinning   the
I beast  that had been capered.    During
the  continuance  of the  great hunt on
I the Souris plains which lasted for many
i weeks, the food of the hunters was meat
and nothing else.   The next season the
I buffalo herds had moved far to the west
and never again returned in great num-
I hers so near the Red river.
PRIMITIVE BOOKS.
Hon Ther Were Mude liy the Anelent
lliiltnkg   of   Sumatra.
A near approach to the form of a
modern book was made by an obscure
people called the Battaks, wbo in olden days inhabited the island of Sumatra. Tbey invented, or adopted from
some unknown source, a form of book
consisting of a long strip of bark five
or six Inches wide and closely resembling a piece of Egyptian papyrus.
Tliey seem to have takeu a distinct
step forward in the bookuiaklng art,
for instead of rolling their strips of
bark in Egyptian fashion they folded
them into accordion plaits, so that
they took exactly the form of modern
books with uncut leaves.
Wooden covers were then put on either side, and tlie whole wns sometimes bound together with a piece of
■nakeskin. Had the Battak scribe gone
one step further by cutting the leaves
and writing on both sides tlie result
would have been au exact prototype of
a modern bonk.
The Hindoos used a palm leaf two
or three Inebes wide, cut in sections
and dried, Each section may be compared with the leaf of a book, and
they were piled up in sequence or perforated and strung together like a Venetian blind.

It is therefore only natural that, the

peculiar sense the profession of young
men, but nowhere are editors younger
than in some towns in Western Can
ada, which has been remarkable as
much for the youth as for the ability
of many of the men of the "fifth estate." A case in point is thai Of Mr.
CVnrlea a. Barber, editor of the Pilot
Mound Sentinel. At an age When
most newspaper men are reporting,
and most printers' ambitions would
be realized by a foremanshlp, he isa
newspaper     proprietor.     To    have
achieved thus much after sewn years
of work is a record of which any one
might, well be proud. It Is an accomplishment that speaks much for Mr.

much for the country that offers to a

citizens for civic unity and progress.
In ths renaissance none was as helpful
as the new editor. In the paper itself he
made many changes. The makeup was
rearranged and its typographical appearance improved. Indeed, as far as
mechanical care and printing-taste ls
concerned, few papers in the West
are superior to that published at Pilot
Mound, and Mr. Barber's intenton is
to still further improve it, as developing business gives him additional
means, and demands additional facilities. And the mechanical Improvement of the Sentinel has been kept
pace with by its news columns. The
local happenings are recorded with
brightness and interest, as to make
the Sentinel a welcome weekly visitor tn the homes of the prosperous
farming community among which it
circulates. Politically the Sentinel has
not allied itself to any party, for the
reason that there is but one paper in
"the Mound." and on matters political
the policy of the paper is to remain
neutral, and hold the balance even.
Mr. Barber believes that the field of
the local paper is not the discussion
of provincial nnd federal issues, but
the recording of local news, and fair
comment on local and general matters.
Turning from the editor to the man,
a word might be said. In all respects
Mr Barber ls a fine cit/.en, and the
representative of a type of which no
country can have too many. He is a
"sport" of the proper kind. He handles a lacrosse stick in great shape,
and is captain of the town lacrosse
team, while at football be "handles his

It will thus be seen that Mr.
ber is a many-phased and respect-
worthy man. taking an active interest in social, athletic, public and religious affairs. He is a good printer,

Ontario is deep in the throes of a
provincial electiou, and it is sincerely
tn be hoped the result will be such lis
to put an end to the political unrest
that has been the portion of the pro
vince for the past few years. Indications point to a geuerul victory for the
.Conservatives, tho Lilwials lieing
weighted down with a long record of
scandal and corruption. Ministers of
ths gospel ure taking a prominent
part in the campaign, preaching for
purity in elections, and the doctrine is
arraying the church-loving people of
Ontario with the Conservatives and
against Premier Ross. Both the temperance pi*ople and the liquor interests mi i*ui to be against tho govern
ment ulso.	
As tho time for the meeting of the
legislature approaches, Liberal Ixmsts
of deft'iuiiig the government grow
louder and more frequent. Thoy base
their belief on the supposition that the
Socialist members are dissatisfied and
will oppose the government, and they
in turn expect to make use of the So
cialists. The latter, however, have
shown no disposition to force an appeal to tho people, nor do they give
any idea of opposing tho government.
