Aug. 17.���A cablegram was received here at noon today via Lisbon, Portugal, from Valparaiso, Chili,' stating that the latter city was badly wrecked this morning as the result of several severe earthquakes which occurred on the Chilian coast. Many fires were started in different parts of the city immediately after the shocks ami il is lea red thai the ultimate result will.lie a repetition of the San l-'iaucisco disaster. Owing to the complete shutting of) of the coast cable to South America and continued interruptions on the Spanish cable,' it is impossible to secure fiill details of the calamity. As yet no statement has been given out of the probable number of killed and injured, but it is thought that the list will be large. Valparaiso, which is the capital of Chili, is a city of over 135,000 people. GKNKRAI. SKWS. Gen. Parades, the military leader' in Venezuela, is in New York or ganizing a revolution against Presi dent Castro, the present controller and practically dictator of Venezuela.

C., early .this month, .lias been sentenced to 15 years iin prison men t. This is the, first sentence - of the kind .in that state.. - A Vancouver despatch says .the magistrate'there finds that the captain of .tlie Princess Victoria was not at fault in the Chehalis collision, but nevertheless has bound him over until the government can fully satisfy itself in the matter. A judgment for $1,500 has been secured against "Swiftwater Bill" Gates by Attorney C. H- Peterson, of Seattle, who loaned the former that amount in 1900. "Swiftwater" has also lately been sued for divorce and alimony by his third wife. The policy holders committee, organized to protect the losers ia the recent San Francisco fire, have attached a.$500,000 deposit in New York by the Trans-Atlantic Fire Insurance Company of Hamburg,' Germany, which repudiated the San' Francisco -lawsuits. A Washington despatch says the isthmian canal commission has decided to try the etiiplo3'ment of Chinese laborers on the Panama canal, and in line with the decision' it has begun advertising for 2,500 Chinese coolies. It is claimed the Jamaicans have proved a failure. They cannot stand the climate and are not in-all respects satisfactory as laboring men. A late Copenhagen despatch says: Legalized 'slaughter of women and children has been authorized 'in Finland, which is still in open revolt against theczar and his government. The slaughter has been authorized in an order given the troops to shoot to kill irrespective of age or sex. A captain of Cossacks was shot in the breast while attempting to arrest a woman agitator. The Washington state department has sent a complete detailed .state ment of the killing of thef five Japanese poachers at St. Paul sealing' island lo Ambassador Wright al Tokio. The -statement . expresses regret because oT ihe incident but nw apology as the men were killed for rei'using'lo-surrender when violating the American law, which their slay- ei's were enforcing. The Japanese legation at Washington says the matter'is not an international incident. A speedy trial has been ordered to be given the 12 Japanese, poachers who were captured. ��� A despatch of the 14th from San .

' Mining Notes. ��� A report-was circulated this week that the work .in the lower tunnel, on the Venus claim, Windy Ar-iu, has resulted in locating and cross- cutting' the ledge, which is sixteen feet wide. . -Mr. Tarcloe' Thomas, of Gold. Run, has been compelled to close down his mine 011 account of water. He will operate same again after installing larger pumps. The cause and responsibility for this water will probably not be settled except by the courts. Mr. J. E. Moran, of the Otter Creek Development Co., came in this week with a partial clean-up of the ground handled by his company so far this season. We understand the poke amounted to about $2,000, and the indications are that this sum will be greatlyiucreased by the end of the season. The steam shovel of the Atliu Consolidated Mining Co. was put in motion the early part of the week and,is working quite satisfactorily. The company has experienced some difficulty with the incline section of their electric dump car system, but expect shortly to have every part of their big plant operating in smooth order. W. Sweet was in town this week from'.Tutshi lake, where he antl partners are pushing development work on some quartz claims. Mr. Sweet says they are confident that the work being done will prove their ground to be valuable. Good, assays have been obtained from average samples of their ledge. To facilitate the getting in of supplies, the government lately employer! those interested with Mr. Sweet and a few other prospectors to slash, clear and grub a wagon road with fairly easy grades between the south end of Windy Arm auEL Tutshi lake, a distance of .three .om��,i a half miles-' J ','���> I A m ATLIN, B.

KiuTOK-MaN.YGUK. THK LORD'S DAY IN CANADA o' Knglish legislation is far more friendly to Sabbatarianism than that of almost any other country. Ontario is likely to prove a worthy sival, however. The government has brought in the'-so-called Lord's Day Bill, in which it is provided: First���It is made unlawful to sell anything on Sunday, to transact any business or to employ any other person to da any work, except works s>f necessity, for money. c. Second���Games aud, performances -of all kinds foif which au admission fee .is charged are made unlawlul. Third���Excursions, of every kind by land on watei cut which passengers, ars carried! for amusement are prohibited. Fourth���No. public park o? pleasure ground or amuse-i-Bent place of any kind to. which, a,u a'clEoission fee is charged ca,n be kept oper-. . . Fifth.���No. person is allowed to shoot at a target 01 any other object. Sixth���The sale of foreign newspapers is prohibited�� The bill is t��i go. into, operation March, 1, 190.7, although it is not impossible- that it may be subject to some amendments. There is. a good doe.li to. be said in Savor of this sort of legislation on economic grounds, but it is. not Likely that it will meet with gen ��sal approval, even, in. Canada,, and .it would, be altogether impossible in the United-. States.. Nonetheless, Ijhe Sunday question is one which sooner or later moist be faced , in America.. The rise- of anwisement into, a genuine business-is destroying the opportunity for weekly rest on the part of 'many thousands, of work- ingmen. J;ii- some- way the- need of r.est of one day in seven must be met. The Canadian', legislation is an honest if extreme attempt to meet- it. lit may not be attractive to- those who. would like-to, have other, people- work, to help them play, but ibis,not the outgrowth of religious bigotry.���-The.- World. Today.. ���'..'������ Mines and millionaires have come to be synonymous words. Rhodes, Clark, Mack ay, Fair, Flood, Hearst, Daly, aud the late Albert Beit all became millionaires from mines. They were all poor men in the beginning. Their only capital was their ability to see the chance , for wealth and seize it. They knew when they had a mine and they compelled that mine 'to'give up its treasures. Those who.had faith in their judgment lived to share their wealth.

The strike was made some time ago, but ihe work of prospecting has been kept so quid lhat word of it has just leaked oui. The lode has been traced over the top of Windy mountain and is more than eight feet wide. Many smaller lodes and .stringers of the ore have been found. Fifteen claims have been located and bonded already to a New York syndicate for $200,000.

One hundred and thirty-one miles is the height of the atmosphere, determined by noting the difference between the time of sunset and the complete disappearance of blue from the sky. Water, in freeing, expands one- twelfth-of its bulk, exerting a pressure of about 30,000 pounds per square inch. Pipes, etc., are damaged at the moment "of freezing and not, as is commonly stated, by a too rapid thawing. One of the largest saws, 8 feet 2 inches in diameter and y& inch thick, weighing 1,100 pounds, valued at $5,000, having 210 teeth set with diamonds costing $20 each in the rough, has just been made by an Indianapolis, Ind., company for the Romono Oolitic Stone Company of Stinesville, Ind. An opinion of the source of the gold nuggets is that gold, being heavy, settles at the first opportunity at the bottom of a stream, unless a stratum of stiff clay prevents its reaching bedrock. Nuggets and coarse gold are found nearest the lode, when the topography has been of a nature to afford gold a resting place. Farther down stream the lighter flakes and small grains are deposited, as Ihe stream widens and the force of the current abates. Fine flake and "flour" gold is often carried many miles down stream by the force of the water, which keeps it turning over and over and sliding along with the muddy matter of , floods or freshets. Metallic gold, wire and thick gold leaves have also been found in chunks of lead ore; wire in copper and leaves in iron ore in lode mines, showing plainly that the lead, copper or iron was deposited after the metallic gold had formed iu the veins. These specimens are more worthy of the scientist's speculation and research than are the few battered and partly "rusty" gold placer nuggets found. Gold in placers comes from lodes. It is easy to mistake the outer restraints of society 'for the inner righteousness of the soul. It's hard to steer a straight course when you keep your conscience in your pants pocket.
