Collins is again in the mining business, and was in Merritt recentiyv looking for a chance to bond properties. He talks about forming a company to operate many properties on the West Fork of the Kettle river, and build a stamp mill and concentrator at a central point in the district Many people at the coast are taking up land near Carmi and Beaverdell. The government sells it at a nominal price, and gives five years to make the first payment One rancher came in the other day from Victoria. He had two dogs and a gun and will blaze a trail for his brother, who will arrive in another month. The Eureka Placer Mining Co., which is operating on the North Fork of Rock Creek B. C, has been washing out considerable quantities of coarse gold of late, some of which has been brought to Molson the past week. Some of the gold flakes were almost as large as a dime, and had snch a strike been made in Alaska or some other distant corner of the earth it would have caused a stampede. Frank Houghton, one of the owners of the property says the coarse gold is being taken from au old river bed and thafe they have as yet hardly gotten into the pay streak but are only just coming into the margin of the old river bed and have just reached the edge of bedrock; They have eight claims staked out, have installed a sluice box, and are taking water from al lake located on the hill about 200 feet above. The water having such a great fall makes it an ideal hydraulic mining, proposition.- A number of men are at work on the proposition and as soon as they get in a little further some big nuggets are expected to be encountered. A good deal of fine gold is. being obtained from the surface sand and gravel which is being run through the sluice box, but the coarse gold is coming from the small space of bed-rock uncovered. Three hack-loadss of Molson people drove oyer to the claims last Sunday and each member of the party took his turn at panning out the yellow metal. All indications point to some rich diggings'being opened up on the creek.���Molson Leader. Western Float toi^ in 1 Bob Sues Sam Does a grubstake hold good for one prospecting trip or indefinitely, is the principal question- in the supreme conrt action brought by Robt. E. Allen, against S. N. Long of Francois Lake, B.C., in which the plaintiff demands a declaration that he is entitled to a one-half interest in the Silver Standard group of claims valued between one and two million dollars. It appears that daring the spring of 1908 Allen grubstaked Long and sent him up north on a prospecting trip. During the trip Long staked eight claims in the Caribou mountains and because Allan had Btaked him. Long gave the plaintiff an interest. After doing assessment work on the group the proposition did not prove as promising as it first appeared and it was dropped. Then in 1910 Geo. McBean and Samuel N. Long went out for a prospecting trip and staked what is known now as one of the richest "grounds" in this province, at New Hazelton. They sold six claims of the Silver Standard group of claims for 875,000 and now Allen has brought an action claiming that as he had grubstaked t-_e defendant he is entitled to the first big find proving good that the defendant makes. It will be for the court to decide one* of the most important questions in mining in this, province and that is, "how long does a grubstake hold the man who is grub-staked responsible to the man who puts up the money for the prospecting trip?' '-^n-ineca Herald. The Busted Prospector group of 14 copper claims is being actively developed near KitBelas. Hie group is owned by Moody, Larkin, Lowery and others. Joe Downs died in -NelBon this month. Old potatoes are $13 New Westminster. Princeton coal retails in Penticton for $7.50 a ton. Milk is now delivered every morning in Quesnel. Since the war began, 10,44=2 men have enlisted in B. C. Much paper is being shipped from B. C. to Australia. Gin pills remiads some people of a very popular vegetable. Owing to lack of funds Chesaw will not hold a fair this fall. . Alex McCool has bought the Hotel Blanshard in Victoria. Work has been resumed upon the Yankee Girl mines at Grand Forks. James Smart died in Victoria. He was a prominent figure in Nelson 20 years ago. Tbe main line of the Canadian Northern railway will be in operation by September. Western Canada will have a wheat crop this summer of about 240,000,000,000 bushels. ��� This summer has been very dry in the Yukon, which will make the oat crop rather light. E. C. Shepherd died at Soda Creek last month. He had lived in the Cariboo for 50 years. In Victoria about 750 school teachers are taking a special course at the High and Normal schools. In Elko many of the people, owing to the hard times, have to live upon green peas and young ducks. The telegraph rate between Whitehorse and Skagway, has been reduced from $1 to 50 cents for 10 words. Hartley Williams died in Dawson last month. He was one of the best known "Sourdoughs" in the north. All the provincial constables in the Fort George "district recently joined the army, with the exception of the chief. At Trail, James Williamson has hens laying' eggs that were only hatched this year. Trail is the place for early birds. This year a great many tourists saw the midnight sun at Fort Yukon. In June tbe sun does not set for several nights at that place. Work has been resumed on the Maggie mine near Ashcroft and the shaft is down 300 feet. This mine was located, over 20 years ago. John A. Turner, of Victoria, has beeu appointed city clerk in Prince George. He ran for mayor in Victoria at one time, but was defeated. The irrigation ditch at Oroville wilLbe sixty-five miles long, and put water on 10,000 acres near that dry city. B. O. Beam a Revelstoke C.P.R. engineer, has bought J. A. Mc- Kinnon's pool room and- cigar store in Trail. J. L. Stamford is again living in the ozone of Nelson. He has \not made good some of his promises in connection with the Northwest Coal and Land Co. A. L. Fortune died on his ranch near Enderby upon July 5, aged 85 years. He took up the ranch in 1866, in company with his partner from the Cariboo gold diggings. A Seattle company has taken an option, upon some placer ground near Granite Creek. It is intended to expend $60,000 upon a hydraulic proposition if the options are taken up. Jim Christie was wounded at one of the spring battles in Flanders. Jim is tbe only man who went through a boxing match with a' grizzly bear and lived. That event happened to Jim in the. Yukon some years ago. .Red Paddy has a ranch near Princeton, and is raising more than a crop of whiskers this year. He has some of tbe finest spuds this side of Ireland. Paddy is building a new house, and wants a wife who already has about 16 children. Because they were caught out of season, the authorities in Alaska, made the Indians liberate 42 live foxes valued at $15,000. The redskins are liable to cause trouble over the affair, and several white men are missing, evidently being killed by the reds. The Monarch mine at Field, recently shipped three carloads of zinc ore to Kansas City, arid two carloads of lead ore to Trait On the dump at that mine there is 20,000 tons of ore that will average 24 per cent A zinc smelter in Canada wonld be of great advantage to mines of this kind. CITY COUNCIL The Council met on Monday evening. Letters were received from' J. Williamson re ranch, and from Com. McDougall respecting horses returned to the United States by customs officer. Both letters were fyled. The school trustees interviewed the Council re the formation of a high school, and stated that it was impossible to make a success of the superior school which has been tried during the paBt year, and asked tbe Council to finance the prospect, which would cost about $900. The Mayor informed the board that the Council would consider the matter, and inform them in a few days what they would do. The ��� following accounts were ordered to ba paid: The Ledge, $8; L. A. Smith & Co., $7.80; C. King, $7. The water committee instructed that all reservoirs be cleaned, and clerk instructed to order repairs for hydrdnt. The special committee on Lynn creek reported part of the work done, and that McDonald had not been crossing the creek with cattle and promised that he would not do so, until he had completed the work outlined. The Council adjourned until Wednesday evening when a special financial meeting will be held. High Life in Peru Prof. Alsworth Ross of the University of Wisconsin in an* article in the Century Magazine entitled "Pern, the Roof of the Continent," tfflls of the difficulty of merely sustaining life in the nighest altitudes among the Andes. He says: Life at Cerro de Pasco, nearly a league up, is as trying as life nnder a diving bell at the bottom of the ocean. The newcomer gasps for air like a stranded fish, and wakes up at night gulping moutbfuls out of the thin atsmophere. Three quick steps put you out of breath, and after climbing a flight of stairs you must sit down for a rest. "I know," panted a "tenderfoot how Tfeel whenFmTeighty." No employee is sent up by the company unless he has passed a physician's examination, but ocas- ionally one gets blue in the face and has to be sent down forthwith Thus the Inca Chronicle often has such items as, "Jake L., who returned here last April, has been sent home with his heart machinery in bad shape." The young fellows play tennis and ball, and even indulge in track athletics; but the pace must be very slow. Singing is not popular, for you cannot get the breath to hold a note. Pneumonia is sure death here within forty-eight hours, so that the sufferer must be rushed down to sea level in a special train that costs the company $500: The typhoid patient, too, and the northern women must descend to Lima to bear their babies. The mining company's Americans are usually big, athletic, deep-chested men, Btrong of jaw, sinewy Of grip, and masterful of manner. They are well paid and looked after, hut too many of them squander money and vitality in fighting off the demon* of loneliness. How Many For You? How much sleep do we require? Afi old saying is.

All branches of the Canadian Patriotic Fund are being urged to try and secure more subscribers. In B. C. during May 1,509 families received reliof, and if the war ^lasts much longer it will be neces- -pary to raise more than is coming in, hence every effort should be made to increace the subscriptions to this laudable and humane Fund. Slocan Mining ! This week the Standard mill started running three shifts. Owing to the C.P.R. as yet being unable to furnish cars and barges promptly tbe shipments are only twelve cars weekly, or about 480 tons. It takes two days to load a barge of six cars. If the cars were put in promptly the shipments would average from 18 to 20 cars a week. It is not probable that the Steamer Slocan will be able to do this in addition to her regular service and also handle other Four mile shipments at the Silverton slip and wharf. With the large number of properties working in the vicinity of Silver- ton this season it is not improbable that the shipments from that point will reach between forty and fifty oars a week. There is greater activity in mining in the vicinity of Sandon than there has been for twelve years. With a dozen shipping mines and three concentrators Sandon should soon begin to hum. Work was started on the Queen Bess this week by Cunningham and Keane, who have a bond on the property. The Quean Bess adjoins the Idaho-Alamo group. A shipment was made last week from the Enterprise, Ten-mile, by Ed. Shannon, Pat Maguire, Olaf Donvold and John Olson, who have a lease on the property. It is expected that the Echo, adjoining the Standard group and under bond to J. H. Thompson, will shortly join the district shippers. W. J. McMillan has a car of antimony ore ready for shipment from the Alps group on the North Fork of Carpenter creek. About two cars of ore are ready for shipment at the Molly Hughes, one from the lease and one by the owner. The Consolidated Mining and Smelting company has resumed work at the Ottawa mine near Slocan City. Jack and J. D. Mclnnes have a car of ore ready for shipment at the Buffalo. Four-mile. Eight men are employed by the Consolidated on the Lucky Thought, Four-mile. The Wakefield, Four-mile, will make a car shipment early this month.���Slocf��n Record. One of our local and most patriotic citizens says: "Do you people who have settled in this country, for the benefits yon, can derive by living here realize, that if you do not do yonr duty to the government, and help in every possible way towards a successful issue of the war, that you are robbing yonr own source of income. The Empire is succoring you, and to deny IHp is to act worse than an ghoul on the battlefield, and that a open enemy is a gentleman in comparison."

We owe the use of chloroform chiefly to Sir James Young Simpson, son of an obscure baker. Afe the age of 14, James entered Edinburgh University and at 19 he was a qualified surgeon; and at 21 he wrote M. D. after his name. Before Simpson's day an operating room was like a butcher's shambles. A patient was laid, screaming with terror, on the operating table. Surgeons were unnerved and made awful "bungles" of their work. There is recorded one subject for amputation on whom the approaching horrors fell so vividly that at the glint of the operating knife he flung himself off the operating table and fled from the room. "Chank God, he's gone!" exclaimed the surgeon. Simpson was so horrified at the terrible agony a woman Buffered under an operation that he nearly gave up his profession. In 1847 he used chloroform for the first time and thanked God for his discovery. One would have thought the world wonld have run with joy over the lessening of human suffering. But the use of anaesthetics was bitterly opposed. It was contended that pain is a just infliction of the Most High which it is impious to avert. Nay, eome divines went so far as to assert that the cries of those in pain are pleasing to God. Simpson met these gentry on their own ground by quoting from Genesis: "And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh thereof." Not to be beateu, the theologian replied that Dr. Simpson surely forgot that the deep Bleep of Adam took place before the introduction of pain into tbe world, during his state of innocence. At the birth of a royal prince, Queen Victoria used chooroforin. After that it use was to some extent sanctioned. Bat in the Crimea the chief medical officer forbade its use: "Pain is a wholesome stimulus to a soldier," he said. Far different is the case today. We have the consolation of knowing that on thousands of wounded heroes merciful oblivion has fallen in the hour of their agony owing to the labors of James Young Simpson.��� Er. A woman whose husband had been dead some years went to a medium, who produced the spirit of her dead husband. "My dear John are yon happy" said the widow to the spirit. "I am very happy" John replied. "Happier than yon were on earth with me?" she asked. "Yes was the answer j "_t am far happier now than I was on earth with yon." "Tell me, John, what is it like in heaven?" ���-.,.. . . ' 'Heaven:" said John, ^Tm no* in heaven."
