While in the town things have gone from bud to worse, population seriously decreased and half the business blocks ■become emptied, yet on the several creeks constituting the Slocau City division there has been a (parked improvement in the mining industry. More properties have appeared in the shipping list, the amount of ore exported has been larger, and there are more men employed now than in 1908. For 1901 there is an increase of approximately 1000 tons in the output, which is about 80 per cent over last year. New shippers have come to the nont and the entanglements surrounding others straightened out. Encouragement has be?n given to the industry for 1905, and the rate of progress will be kept up. There promises to lie much activity ou all the creeks, and it is certain the tonnage of ore sent out wil! largely exceed that of 1904. The higher price maintained by silver is having a stimulating effect and will cause a number of likely properties to be exploited. The leasing system is largely tn vogue in the camp and is meeting with satisfactory results. Taken by creeks the following summary will give an idea of what has beeu accomplished: Teu Mil* C'rea-k. The Enterprise is easily the first property of importance. It has been kept in steady operation by W. Koch, under len'se, and has shipped 6S0 tous of ore during the year. For a time a crow of llUoilt ;iU men was employed, but of late it has dwindled to eight. The larger ore bodies have beeu worked out and development is now pro feeding to open up new Ixidies. A little ore is coming from the upper levels. When a new chute is tapped the force will be increased. Adjoining the Enterprise to the west. Isaacson Bros, and John Kill* uian have had the Neepawa under lease anil have operated with success. Upwards of 70 tons of ore has been shipped, with another car ready to go out. New ore bodies have lieen found and the property la looking well. Above the Neepawa C 13. Taylor and partners held a lease on the Edi- s in. They built a good camp and •worked two or three months, but quit after shipping lfi tons of ore. Adjoining the Enterprise to the south is the Mabou, OU which H. 1. Kirlcwtvxi did some work. He drifted on the Enterprise vein and opened up 2;' a promising body of on Binish Bros, spent sometime on the Black Fel and shipped two tons if ore. It is a likely claim. W. Harvey worked the Sapphire a short time under lease aud shipped two tons. Numerous claims on the creek received their annual assessment during the year aud a number of new locations were made. I.suina Creek. New life has been enthused on this creek during the latter part of the year, and next season will see much advancement. The government has repaired the trail and put in new bridges, making communication easy. The Kilo was understood to lie sold, but the owners broke off negotiations and proceeded to develop it themselves. They shipped a carload of ore that gave $64 in gold per ton, and they have another carload ready to go out. It is expected a stamp mill will go in thore ne> t spring. The Chapleau has had a varied experience under lessees this year and got badly tangled up. However, new men have now got hold of it and they are doing very well. Damages from forest fires have been repaired and everthiug put into goal shape at mill and mine. Alxiut 28 men are employ ed and more are to go ou. The lessees expect to make big money, for quite a lot of ore has peen exposed. Three tons of concentrates were shipped out by the former lessees and a couple of cars are now ready to go out, of ore and concentrates. Profitable work was doue ou the Duplex and Alberta, near by, the latter under lease, and both are looking fine. The Alberta shipped 15 tous of ore. (Jr. Bulko made a two ton shipment from the Blandtield, and is engaged on another consignment. At the head of the creek the Nansen, Emmett and Lady Franklin are all working, aud each will ship. They have encouraging showings of ore. of high grade and easy to handle. The Emmett is under lease. The stamp mill on the Golden Wedge has been dismantled and is being taken to Ymir. Several gold properties on the creek will be exploited next year. Hpiliiser Craiok. It is on this creek that the principal life has been duriug the vear, with trail built. A magnificent body of ore was proven up and eight tous shipped. Next year it is expected a company will handle the property. Adjoining the Club W.Cotterill and partners are making a mine out of the Northern Light. They have opened their ledge at depth und will shortly make a shipment. After doing much work on the Port Hope and shipping 17 tons of ore, the lessees relinquished their holding. It is a promising prospect. The Cripple Stick has had two or three sets of people working on it during the year and shipped 12 tons of ore. The Tamarac has lately lieen leased and four or five men are employed. Harris; & Harrison opened up a chute of high grade ore on the Argentite and last spring shipped five tons of ore. The Calumet & Hecla, the ,Tosie,the Dayton, the Triune, nnd a number yf othor claims have all been under development during the year. In the spring there promises to be quite a move on Springer creek, with much ore going out. There will be some outside capital coming in and good results will folio v. Mining has got down to a solid basis. SI.OCAN DIVIDE* os. The Slocan presents a healthy record for dividends, the total.includiug those paid this yoar, amounting to $4,763,297.

Nothing was done on the Arlington and Specul:itor,but it is confidently expected both properties will be opened up in the spring and a mill built. The Hampton did a little development, re- suiting in the ledge liem;,' found at depth and with rich ore. Early in the season the Pioneer Miuing Co. started development on the Bank of England, and later ou acquired the outstanding interests in the Two Friends, and part of the Black Prince group, all now being amalgamated under one management. New buildings have been erected and a vast amount of development done. \V. Koch has the contract to haul a |arge tonnage of ore, part of it having commenced coming down. Upwards of 20 men are employed and will lie continued on during next season. In the year T>7 tons of ore was shipped from the Black Prince, partly by thu former lessees. But it is to the Ottawa that credit must be given for the general life and activity in the camp. It has shipped fully 1800 tons of ore and has given employment to over 30 men. New buildings have been put up, new road constructed, and hundreds of feet of drifting and raising accomplished, a new level has lieen run and liolh veins cut and are being drifted on. These will eventually yield a large tonnage of ore. The ore is phenomenally lii^h grade, while bodies of almost pure metal are frequently met with. To date the Ottawa has paid for its pur chase and development and given a handsome profit besides, while the mine is easily worth quarter of a million dollars. Early next summer the management will instal a power scheme on Springer oreek, tfi-'inK the power for operating a large hoist and machine drills. The Ottawa is a conspicuous success from careful and competent management. AImivh the Ottawa is the Mayeta group of 15 claims, which are beiug crown grantedf. The property was purchased during the year by tlie Ottawa people and is being actively de veloped by half a down men. rliey have the same veins as in the big mine below.

Of interest to Canadians is Lord Roberts' recent visit to the South African battle-fields, says a recent despatch, Lord Roberts re-fought tho battle of Paardeberg, but his advance upon Cronje's laager was made in a motor-car insteud of with threo divisions of infantry. The Coininaiider-in-Chii'f was keenly interested in the famous battleground, although greutly surprised at its altered appearunce. There was even some trouble ut first, in locating several well-remembered incidents. Herds of springbok have invaded the paardeberg drift, and its bottle scars are well hidden. Lord Roberts found, after some difficulty, the site of his headquarters on that eventful February morning when General Cronje surrendered himself after stubborn resistance. lie related the incidents of the surrender to the members of his party. Lord Roberts also traced the ndvance mado by General Smith-Dorrien's division on February 26th, and the subsequent night attack in which the Canadians lost heavily. Half buried in the veldt Lord Roberts discovered a number of rusty meat tins, souvenirs of the "alarm signals" devised by the Boers. Theso tins had been strung on wire some distance in front of the trenches, and the enemy were thus warned of night attacks. Many other relics of thc battle were discovered—fragments of shells, human bones, and cartridges; while in one of the trenches a Boer boy unearthed and proudly brought to Lord Roberts a rust-covered bayonet. Lord Roberts spent two hours on the battlefield, and eventually walked around the inner trenches. His visit created great curiosity among the Boers. Some of Cronje's old men who had fought the British at Paardeberg followed the party at a respectful distance. On the journey to and from Kim- berley thero were many expressions of good-will on the part of the residents. Several of the Boer farmers displayed Union .Tacks, and invited the Commander-in-Chief to visit them. An I nforiunnte Omlaalon.

His creditors pressed him, and he was forced to file his petition in bankruptcy. His failure was the talk of the town. He felt llis position acutely, ond kept as much as possible within doors. Then the brethren decided to hold a meeting, and the unworthy elder was summoned to attend. The pastor spoke lirst. He urged his people to be considerate and tender. He was followed by a man who made nn eloquent speech on honesty in trade, and concluded by moving that the elder be suspended from office for a period to give him time to purge himself of his heinousness. A seconder and supporter spoke to the same effect.

WAS SENT HOME AS INCURABLE THEN JOSEPH BOONE FOUND HEALTH IN DODO'S KIDNEY PILLS. He Was Unable to Work for Sevan Years Before He Used the Great Canadian Kidney Remedy. Cottel's Cove, Nfld., Dec. 19.—(Special).—The days of miracles are past, but the cure of Joseph Boone of this place almost ranks with the sensational cures of the earlier ages. Mr. Boone has been ailing for eight years, seven of which he was unable to work from the effects of Backache and Kidney Complaint. He was all aches and pains. He was treated by several doctors, and after seven months in the hospital was sent home as Incurable. It was there that reading of cures ln the newspapers led him to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. It took twenty-one boxes to cure him, but to-day he ls strong and well and hard at work lobster fishing.

We will soon be closing another year, and again as we, the citizens of Assiniboia, the farmers of the West, balance our books for another s?ason we can look around us and see and feel prosperity; we know that we are better oft" 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. i he 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 of 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 Bonk for the ten years tll-'Ol gives the average yield per acre of 12.07 bus. in N. Dakota and 10.04 bus. in S.

This brazen Imposture on the credulity of the English public was the result uf a wager between the Duke of Montague and another nobleman in 17411. lu discussing tht amazing gullibility of the English people the former declared that if one were to advertise it well that he woukl jump into a quart bottle all London would go to see him do it. The wager being made, an advertisement was Inserted in all of the leading papers promising that the feat would be performed on a certain date nt the Haymarket theater.

A I'liyaUenl Instructor GItcs Advice on the- Subject. The way to walk straight is not to t.ilnk of the shoulders at all, says a physical instructor. Hang your arms loosely at your sides and hold yourself erect by moderate tension of the back and abdominal muscles and the muscles of the neck. Theu your shoulders will have to hang right. Don't "throw out" your chest. The chest that is inflated properly by deep breathing is bound to be thrown out, and thrown out not like that of a stuffed figure, but naturally, because it can't help it. Don't walk with a stiff neck. Hold your head erect the way an animal does. Watch a deer. Its neck is always in motion, yet it is always held beautifully. Your head poised on a stiffly held neck is no good for either balancing or looking around you. Poised confidently on strong but pliant neck muscles, it becomes what a head should be. Many classes of men who do much walking, such as Indians, guides and trappers, walk with their bodies inclined forward a little bit. But the.v don't round their shoulders or stoop their beads. They incline forward from the hips. This throws their weight a little ahead and gives the leg muscles the chance to exert ali their power in the best directions. But the upper body is never bent by these men. It simply is held forward from the hips at a very slight, barely perceptible, angle. Even if correct poise in walking had nothing to do with other forms of athletics it would be invaluable in itself. The mnn who walks right ls going to keep his organs—heart, kidneys, liver and lungs—in splendid form. But, besides all this, it helps wonderfully ln all outdoor sports. PAPUAN CANNIBALS. Ther Mint Harder and Taate Human Dlood to Attaiu Manhood. The cannibal instinct of the Papuan of New Guinea Is not hard to explain. In all the 31,'1,000 square miles of New Guinea there is not a tribe which does uot regard murder as a kulghtly accomplishment. Until a man hus taken a humiiu life aud has sipped human blood he is an object of ridicule. He is not permitted to tattoo himself, and with a skin thus unadorned he is shunned by Papuan society. Immediately after killing some one, however, the murderer must undergo six days of "purification," which are marked by various uncanny rites. He tirst washes himself and his weapon and seats himself upon a stage ln tbe sight of the whol« town, but nevertheless unnoticed by rfll. During this time he must eat nothing except roasted.bananas, the pulp of which he bites out and the rest he throws away. On the third day he bas so far purified himself that his friends entertain blm nt a feast, and on the fourth day he decks himself with all the ornaments of his home and parades up and down the village. After being thoroughly admired he walks down to a river, aud, standing with feet wide apart, he lets all the boys who want to become great men swim through his legs.. Ou the next day at dawn he jumps from bed and yells out of the window nt the top of bis lungs. His shout is supposed to scare away the ghost of his victim. On the following day he rel urns to his wife, who has spurned him up to this time, and is once more installed as the respected lord of his household. Situ Urn In the Water. All reptiles swim. Almost all snakes move through tbe water wilh as mnch ease and rapidity tis on land. Rattlesnakes, for example, are much given to swimming in placid water If it is not too cold.

Wiefhlpg you and yours a Happy and Prosperous New Year. Public notice has been given calling the legislature to meet for the dispatch of general business on February 9th. James Smart, deputy minister of the interior, at Ottawa, has resigned, giving place to W. W. Cory, inspector of government offices in the west. The Canadian immigration department is making a big bid for settlersi particularly in the United States. It is expected the tide of immigration will lie stronger than ever next year, 200,000 new settlers lieing figured on. Hon. Messrs. Cotton and Tatlow, D. K. Ker of Victoria, and J. Buntzen of Vancouver have been appointed a commission to inquire into the work ings of the Assessment Act, nnd the result of their labors will be laid liefore the legislature when it convenes. England is withdrawing her fleets and garrisons from Esquimalt and Halifax, the deep friendship existing with the United States being a sufficient guarantee of safety for Canada and British interests. Tbe dominion will provide men to garrison the forts, and will also organize and man a small patrol navy. England lays a gentle hand on Canada, which is practically independent, but yet is bound by the strong cords of love and kinship to the British Empire, to whose interests she is devotedly loyal. In another part of this issue will lie found a summary of the development Jn the camp during the year almost ended. While necessarily brief, sufficient evidence is borne by the write-up to prove that substantial progress has been made and success generally met with. One or two sales have been made, several new shippers have appealed, aud the output of ore largely increased. Operations on the whole have been of an encouraging nature, and the promise is given of even better things for 190;*.. Mine owners view with satisfaction the rise in silver, aR it will benefit the whole dry ore belt. The hopeless condition of the city finances may lie judged from the fact that the council consider themselves too poor to permit of a public notice beiug given possible voters to get their names on the municipal list; to permit tho returning officer to advertise the customary notice of nomination and election; or to issuo printed proclamations of the same. Instead, three proclamations will lie typewritten and posted up. Probably no other incorporated town iu British Columbia has ever had to resort to such conniving to save a dollar, and Tue Drill will make affidavit no other local paper iu tho province has ever had such a mit passed up to it. At the same time, it is just possible the mit was a premeditated experiment. The kindly notico in tho Nelson News of Tuesday will be greatly appreciated by the men publishing the littlo weekly papers in the mining camps of Kootenay, The hardest rub on the struggling publisher is the utter lack of appreciation of his untiring efforts to keep his camp to the front. Added to that is tho steady opposition meted out to his paper by persons in the several towns, with the unjust patronage by business people to eastern printing houses. There Is not a publisher in uny of the mining can*ps but what is expending far more money in his town than he receives therefrom and yet by mnny ho is regarded and treated as little better than a criminal, to be run out of the place at the first opportunity.

Hognn'a Alley llituquet. The annual Hogan-'s Alloy banquet \vhs held iu the Uuion hall on Monday evening, and it proved one of the liest of the series, the attendance being large and enthusiastic. The dinner was excellent and gotten up in great style. Special pains had been taken by the committee in decorating the tables, which really presented a very pretty sight. After the banquet came the entertainment, the first item being the reading of the minutes of last year's blowout. Next in order was the receiving and reading of telegrams from the various rulers and notable characters of the world, as well as ab sent friends, these creating much merriment. Judge Hogaii, alias Tom Armstrong, theu held court for the trial of a number of prisoners arrested by the Yellow Kid, otherwise George Stoll, tho charges ranging from being positively sober up to the selling of tough beefsteaks. In each case the prisoner was given tho limit, "Red" Gordon being ordered laid on the table as an example to his fellow culprits. No end of fun was created by the healing of the several charges. A capital programme of songs, speeches, recitations and instrumental music followed. Officers elected for next year were: President, D. B. O'Neail: judge Hogan, Jas.Smith; clerk of the court, C. E.
