The, bulk of the mining- has been done up to the present time in a comparatively small area, probably 15 to 5C miles in length from east; to west, and 20 to 25 miles in width. In, this district the towns, of Joplin. Aurora and Granby,in Missouri, and Galena, in Kansas, are the centres of the milling' industry. In tin's 'com-! paratively small area are found the greatest, zinc blende deposits known to exist in the world. While both zinc blende and galena are found, the production of blende is far in excess of that of g'alena. "The distribution of blende is not uniform over this whole area, but deposits of some value may be reasonably expected at any point. From the nature of the deposits, as will be shown, the distribution is necessarily very uneven. "Rocks belonging to the lower carboniferous series form the bulk of the area under consideration; limestone, cherts, shales and sandstones are all represented, but limestones are by far the most abundant. And it is in the limestones that the ore deposits are found The cherts are important only because the ore is almost invariably found in connection with them. The shales are important as a source of natural gas for use in the smelting' industry. "The country is a great undulating prairie with no marked eminences. The strata are nearly horizontal,having only a slight dip toward the west. The ore occurs in great bodies of irregular shape, g-enerally lenticular masses, sometimes as pipes and ag'ain as sheets. The width and thickness vary widely within distances of a few meters. Previous to the discovery of minerals of value, in 1ST0-TJ, it was an excellent farming" country, being well suited for raising' fruit and grains. "The deposits almost invariably occur in irregular masses of chert. The chert is in form of angular fragments with' zinc blende and g'alena in the spaces between the fragments, and crystalized on their faces. In some places the amount of chert is so small that the deposits assume the form of a solid mass of ore In other places the chert is packed in such a manner as to leave very small spaces for the ores. At times stringers of ore are found extending out into limestone, which is district of south-west Missouri occupies j ^ Mr. Green Holds Up Hie End in'the House and the extreme south-western part of that -J5 .

IS.—-The mining divisions of tin.' interior certainly cannot complain that their necessities and importance, have not been broug'ht: pro minently before the attention of the house and the.Government this week. The consideration of the estimates furnished a pretext for the member for Rossland to emphasize what he termed the neglect of the milling" districts in general and of West Kootenay in particular. He had fortified his position by an exhaustive examination of the public accounts and.from these he made the deduction that the interior of the province was discriminated ag-ainst in the matter of expenditure on roads, trails and bridges. Taking- up the riding's of the province one by one, he pointed out that the expenditure on island and lower mainland constituencies amounted in almost every instance to two-thirds that derived from these same, districts in revenue. In comparison with this liberal treatment he drew attention to the very small appropriations made for the mining- riding's, notwithstanding" the enormous sum which they furnished yearly to the provincial exchequer. So far the member for Rossland was fully supported by the representatives of other mining' constituencies, but when he undertook to say that the Rossland camp had accomplished more in the way of advertising the mineral resources of the country than all other districts combined he was met with interruptions of dissent from those who to that time had approved his representations. Needless to say Mr. Green did not1 allow these statements to g-o ■unchallenged. Following Mr. Curtis in a brief speech he insisted that the riding" of Nelson primarily and afterwards of the Slocan had arrested the attention ol" investors before the .Rossland camp became known. In this he was supported by Mayor Houston, of Nelson, although both gentlemen assented to the general argument advanced by their colleague from Rossland. The Minister of Finance, while regretting that large)- appropriations had not been possible for all the districts, disputed the contention that Rossland had not had its due. The large sums expended for railways for that district and the 830,000 item for a new court house for the Gold City lie considered a suflicient argument: to dispute Mr.Curtis' statement. Mr. Green, the member for Slocan, has been the recipient of numerous congratulations upon the liberal sum which lie has secured for his district. The fact th-tt he and Mr Ellision, who are ainong-st the least frequently heard statesmen of the house, managed to! secure the premier appropriations, is; not without its lesson to those members! who reg-ard il as their du'.v to air their.! views on every subject which engages,' • which j ii|o attention of tin- legislature.

Mr. Midlines delivered one i i of his sensational speeches, but. it is; 'doubtful if he himself desiirned ii to be; enjoys the respect of every member of the legislature. . Tlie suppliiiientary estimates will almost certainly contain a sum for the erection of the now Government House. ' The general satisfaction with the appropriations and the personal popularitv of Sir Henri Joly combine to disarm opposition to this proposal, and some of the interior members have expressed their hearty approval of it. Another measure which met with ' general approval was the bill presented by the Minister of Mines to relieve the miners in the British Columbia contingent in South Africa from assessment duties and similar obligations under the " Mineral Act. On the suggestion of Mr. Helmcken, the Minister promised to go even farther and to entertain favorably a proposal to issue ci own grants to these volunteers free of charge or fees. STMiRrNG UP TROUBLK. A despatch from Victoria to the Nelson Tribune says:—J. Roderick Robert son and the federal board of trade delegates are here doing everything possible to have the eight-hour law agitation reopened. To-day petitions signed by the companies included in the mine owners' association were presented in the House praying that a commission be appointed to inquire into the working of all the laws now in force relatingto mining. The members from the mining districts are free in denouncing this attempt to keep alive a question that is practically dead. MINK MANAfJElW PKTITI.OX. A petition was read in the house on Monday, signed by the. mine owners of West Kootenay, reciting the fact that by Dominion Commissioner Clute's report at least S30,000,00u was invested in West Kootenay mines, and the petitioners pointed out that recent legislation had interfered with the successful working of the mines, and had been responsible for disturbing the harmony between capital and labor, as well as proving in general detrimental to the mining interests. The petitioners. asked that under the circumstances a special investigation should be made by a committee to remove all grievances and place the mining laws in a satisfactory condition. The petition was objected to by Joseph Martin, but the speaker ruled it in order and it was received. An amendment to the license law provides that pack trains of six or more animals shall pay a license of So cverv six months, and under six animals half that amount.

It is impossible to state at this time what position the government will take on the question'as to how the road shall be built, but it is probable the question will be left open as was that of the road to Three Forks, and the matter left entirely the one thing needful to surmount the .disappointing obstacles that obstruct the way of life, and make ambition had no part. He was a tinker and traveled, about the country mending umbrellas, sharpening! razors, etc. The income of the elder Huntington was far too meagre to supply the wants of his large men light hearted and contented in j family, and when Collis was ten the face of sorrows that would send j years old his parents seperated. a fainter hearted race to the grave j Mrs. Huntington going to make yard or fill the insane asylums. j her home with friends and tlie in the hands of the officials whose g00C] dose of the latter. Guard duty it is to pay out the money granted by the government. If such is to be the case, then New Denver should have a voice as to how the money7 is to be expended, and there should be no quibbling a.bout it. if the road is to be built by day labor, as was the Three Forks road and the Lemon creek road, then a good trail should be built instead. There should be no more "day labor." business in connection with the building of these roads, unless they are built under the direct supervision of the government. The Three Forks road is an example of how thousands of dollars can be wasted under the '"'day labor" system, whereas a road that could be used permanently might have been made for the same money under the contract system. The road.up Si 1 vcr Moun- tain should be one that can be used. Cheap work will not do. Whoever does the building of tlie road should be bound by contract, and the government should sec that the contract is lived up to in every detail. Three thousand dollars may lie .sufficient for the purpose, and it may not. - Hut if a, good road cannot be built for this amount, then let the sum be increased a thousand or so before the work begins. Let the people know before the work starts what kind of ;t road they are going to get for the money and. then, see that they get it. Human selfishness -is found in every quarter of-rhe globe—in the mining camps of P.C the prairie homes, the city homes, in business. social and religious life, it was never better illustrated than in the following story of a- little boy : Some rich plum pudding of which the children were very fond was upon the iuncb table.and the mother divided it- between Willie and his sister Klsio. Willie looked ar his piece with hungry eyes and thenar his mother's empty plate. ".Mti-in- in.'i." s.'iid lie h'l-lingly. ""I eau'l enjoy my pudding when you haven't anv. Take Klsie's." Worry- Work gives new life and a It is well that it is so kills, contentment. Therefore against worry as you would a contagious disease. It wears upon the brain as dropping water wears away a stone. Ada C. Sweet, in Woman's Home Companion, says the habit must be killed by eternal vigilance, resolution and good sense. Worry, like bad air or an obnoxious person, must be driven out, and the best way to drive either out is by the introduction of the good. You can fill your mind with comforting, calming thoughts, leaving no room for the harrassing ones. You can flood out the enemy, just as by pouring a stream of clear water into a tumbler filled with discolored liquid you can soon force out the muddy contents of the glass and leave it filled with liquid crystal. Don't let events depress .you. Maintain your equilibrium, and let mind rule matter and good sense judge events. The emotional nature is always watching for aj children being placed with different families. Collis made his home with the family of Orza Earbier. Mrs. Earbier was an unusually intelligent woman, and to her training, as Mr. Huntington in tne days of his success always admitted, was due the fire of ambition which was early kindled in his breast.

Under the able tuition of Mr. Irwin the school has been brought forward in a remarkable, measure and could be made to rank first in AVest Kootenay. if the accommodations were provided for the proper care and teaching of the children. But under existing conditions neither the teacher nor pupils can do themselves justice. The school room is crowded, the boys and girls are thrown together promiscuously; all grades, all sizes .impossible to be as good as "Little Mary Ann." and the only thing under the heavens that hindered him was the wealth that you and I. my boy-, sometimes wish we had.

Enrqwp��r M��n Carae Near Going ta Heaven by the Dynamite Route. "Talking about narrow escapes," said Campbell Hardy, who has experienced the nps and downs of 12 years of newspaper lli��, to a Galveston News man, "reminds me of an experience I underwent while running a little country newspaper up in Illinois, chasing the festive advertisement and the elusive news item. My office and plant, where I molded public opinion and told a limited number of subscribers what to do In order to be saved, was located in a harness shop. One bright spring morning, while engaged in writing an editorial I was interrupted in my intellectual reverie by the sound of scurrying feet below, and the next instant by a terrific explosion, which shook the building. "All was a blank for the next minute, when I found myself lying up against a broken sash. Gathering myself together, after wondering whether it was the falling of a brick wall or the kick of an energotio mule that had struck me. I surveyed the ruins. There was a hole in the floor beside me and ono in the roof abuvo, through which you could have driven a government ox team, and a 'pied' and wrecked newspuper ollice. It appears that the occupant below had sprung the combination of his safe, and, being desirous of recovering the princely sum of $1.70, along with some valuable papers, had in a moment of temporary insanity engaged a party to blow open tlie safo door with dynamite. The safo was placed on its back, charged with the explosive and the fuse touched off. "The bright, intellectual engineer of the job neglected to notify me when the services began, and the results wero as above stated. It was a miracle that 1 was not blown to pieces, but, as luck would have it, 1 was just outside of the dead line, for had I met the safe in its upward flight the chances are my friends would be still looking for my remains with a rake Though I was somewhat bruised and dis figured, I am pleased to note that 1 re mained in the ring.

Hi was a disciple," came the curt reply. "Weren't the disciples and the apostles the same thing?" inquired the meek voice, getting a little bolder. Bartholomew was suggested and accepted by several.

He ran for the station-master, and on returning they found Heubner in tho'kitchen at tlie back of the carriage "Ryall! Ryall !" they called.but there was no answer. Then the station-master and his men went back with burning brands to the. carriage. They found it drenched wdth blood, but empty. Ryall could not be seen.

Description | The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905.
