ENGI,ANO   LOSING   HER   GRIP.
Great Britain's decadence is becoming
quite a popular theme. Self debasement and self flagellation seem to be
congenial to the chastened spirit of the
nation, forced to realize, through the
accumulation of reverses to military, to
diplomacy, and to commerce,that Great
Britain's predominant dream is past.
It is almost a daily occurrence for
some great London newspaper to parade the shortcomings of the country,
instituting comparisons with the United
States and Germany little complimentary to Great Britain.
"Lost opportunity," says the Morning
Post, "is the keynote, and the Britain
that dictated her will to the ends of the
earth is to-day u myth."

Tho Daily Telegraph calls attention
to the enormous increase in the use of
American confectionery in England,
which it says would bo even greater
than it is were tho American manufacturers to show more elasticity In trade
methods. It also declares that America
is soon likely to bo supplying "jaw-

Tho most suitable campaigning samples of canned fruit have already been
submitted to Lord Roberts and have
been sent back for Improvement. These
are now assured.
"Small wonder, Indeed," says the
Daily Telegraph, "that the British
fruit grower has cause for complaint
that the demand is not what It was for
his products." California fruit appears
to bo making tremendous Inroads into
the English jam trade.
Even from the Philippines come
recommendations to adopt American

writes to the Tlmo.4 from Manila urging
the British troops in South Africa to use

THE   IRON   COON.
John G. Devlin is one of the best
known prospectors and dealers in
claims in this country. He has had
the usual ups and downs of western
life, some days chicken, some days no
chicken, but he has never ceased to
rustle, and just now John is on top of a
wave that may land him on the shore
where all is soft and easy, and the bank
roll mingles its green with the scenery
of affluence. In company with W. F.
Teetzel, of Nelson, he owns an iron
claim, called the Iron Coon, near Slocan
Junction, and arrangements have been
made to sell Its product for fluxing purposes to the smelter at Nelson. Tho
smelter uses 100 tons of iron a wook,

A despatch from London says tho
negotiations toward the formation of
another American iron and stoel combine are now practically settled, whereby tho Canadian Steel Co., the Lake
Superior Power Co., tho American Steel
Co., the Otis Stool Co., the Pittsburg
Steel Co., and the Wellman Scavor Co.
of Cleveland, will bo amalgamated.
Combined with these, when tho deal is
completed, will be several English firms
which will take part in the enterprise,
financially and commercially. It is the
intention of tho projectors to erect
plants in Eastern Canada and various
American points, with the Wetland
canal as an outlet. Tho capitalization
has not boon decided upon. It will
mean tho extensive development of the

The Rossland Miner gives this
optimistic view of the possibilities
of the mining industry of the Koot-
enays for the current year:
"The mines of Kootenay and
Yale should easily produce a million tons of ore this year. This
seems a vast quantity, but it is
easily within the range of possibility. It is almost certain that the
Rossland camp will be able to'mine
500,000 tons of the million. The
smelter at Northport is being enlarged and will soon be able to
reduce from 1,200 to 1,400 tons of
ore per day. Allowing for the
time before the smelter gets into
shape for the increased output and
for shortages from other causes we
will say that the smelter averages
only 1,000 tons for every day in
the year, which is not a large estimate, and we have 365,000 tons
reduced in Northport. The Le Roi
aibiKrcomd^tobably~ou^ut_this
quantity with the increased plant,
but it will have the help of the Le
Roi No. 2, the^ Rossland Great
Western, and during a portion of
the year, possibly, the Columbia-
Kootenay mines. In order to bring
up the tonnage to the 500,000-ton
point only 135,000 tons are needed
from the other mines. The Centre
Star, War Eagle, Iron Mask, I, X.
L., Velvet, Evening Star, Giant,
etc., should be able easily to do this
and even better, and so the estimate of an output of 500,000 tons
for the Rossland camp is not too
large and we think will be under
rather than over the mark.
"The Boundary country has for
some time been threatening to surpass the output of the Rossland
camp, and it is possible that it may
some time during this year surpass
us in tonnage, from the several
camps that are in that section.
The Boundary has smelters which
have a combined capacity of 1,200
tons per day. Only one of these is
in actual operation, but the presumption is that the other two will
be kept busy when they are finished.
Allowing for delays and shut-downs
these three smelters should be able
to smelt at least 300,000 tons during the year. Additions are to be
made to these smelters and they
may reduce more than 300,000 tons. \
Some of the ore is already being
sent to Trail for reduction. Possibly 60,000 Ions may be sent from
the Boundary to Trail daring the
year. This would bring the total
Boundary tonnage up to 360,000
tons, and it ia quite possible that
the output will be larger. In this
way we get 860,000 tom from the
Rowland and Boundary camps.
"Then we have tbe Nelson division, the Slocan, East Kootenay and
the Lardeau to produce the remain**
ing 160,000 tone. In this is included the free milling ore which it
crushed by over 175 stamps. Those
stamps will crush on an average of
at least two tons a day (a very low
estimate). Each stamp will therefore crush 730 tons a yoar, and tho
117/1. stamps 117,760 tans in the
same period, tuning down ttns to Itf |

LABOR   IN   THK    KOOTKNAY8.
In an interview with a Rossland Minor
representative E. P. Bremner, Dominion
labor commissioner, said some very encouraging things about the conditions
existing between employer and employe
in the Kootenays. Perfect harmony
was noticeable in all sections, he said
"There is no indication," he continued, "that any break in these happy
conditions ought to he expected.
Throughout the Slocan and Nelson divisions all is working between the two
as well as could be desired. This state
of affairs must always be thecase where
a conciliatory spirit on both sides ie
kept well in view."
Speaking" of the labor conditions in
Rosslwid in particular, and those of the
Dominion generally, he said: "There
may be somethin-x yet to desire—a more
unquestioning'and less merely formal
feeling of trust and friendship between
the two great classes. 1 would willingly do all in my power to bring this
about. But th^s is a condition which
only a mutual agreement can produce.
I have noticed afeeling throughout the
country that que stious of labor should
be dealt with here as they have in tho
country to the south, and 1 wish to din-
iibUBoihaininds of allot such an opitt*
ion. The methods that liavo been
adopted by both employers and employes in the United States shalt not
prevail within the borders of Canitdn.
Here difficulties must bn settled as he
comes rational beings, without resort
to such extreme measures as obtain
there. On a basis only of equity and
justice can they expect the adjustment
of their difficulties, which cannot be secured as a result of either mob or military rule I would be pleased at nil
times to see them come to agreements
without my intervention. 1 should be
only too delighted to have them report
such progress—(or it would mean true
progress in every sense ot the word,''

KILLED   B_   A   DBA1>   MAN.
So our dead lay, says A. C. Hales
in London News, and grinned at those
other dead, and the fierce sun dried
flesh and blood on Briton and Boer,
tor   both   remained   unburled   for
awitile; and so it came to pass that a
Boer commando   retook   the   lines
where those who died ior us were
lying, and as they marched among
our dead they saw a sergeant lying
at full length, shot through the brain,
yet even in death the man looked
like some fighting machine out of
order.   His rifle was pressed against
hiB shoulder, his left hand grasped
the barrel on the other side, the forefingers ot the right hand pressed the
trigger lightly, the barrel rested on
a rock, and his death dulled, eye still
glared along the sights, for dissolution
had come -o him just as he bent his
head to fire at those whoJBhot him,
and now his hands bad ttiffened in
the unbendable etlffness-of eternal
sleep,
privy to the matter. This secretary
had an inordinate fondness for whiskey and poker, and-could always be
found in a certain Ottawa resort.
This reporter hunted him up and began to order the drinks. In two
hours he fmd the secretary in such a
condition that the latter boastingly
told all he knew, and said he /had a
copy of the Bill in his room at the
hotel. In another hour the secretary
was asleep in the card-room and the
reporter, taking the keys from his
pocket, went to the hotel and secured
the Bill. In another hour the papers
he represented in America were put
ting it in type.
• The next day there was a terrible
row in Ottawa. The wires between
every important city in the United
States and Ottawa; were busy. \ The
reporters for those papers who had
been beaten, wired their -journals
that the Btory was a fake. Sir John
sent for his visitor of the preceding
evening. When the interview was
over, the correspondent sent to his
paper the following:
'"Report published this morning
by you was correct in being copy of
proposed change in tariff by Government. It is not, however, the Bill
which will be introduced.—John A.
Macdonald.'
"There had been a lively time be
tween the Premier and the newspaper man, but Sir John did not find
out that any of Her Majesty's servants
were to blame. From that day on,
the reporter was nearer to Sir John
than any other newspa per man in
Ottawa."-Chicago Inter-Ocean.
A   TIME   WHEN   KISSES   WERE
VALUABLE. .
The practice of kissing the hands was
Instituted by the early Roman rulers as
■'a mark of subjection as much as one of
respect, and under the first Caesars the
custom was kept up, but only for a
time. These worthies conceived the
idea that the proper homage due to
their exalted station called for less
familiar modes of obeisance, so the
privilege of kissing the emperor's hand
was reserved, as a special mark of condescension; fer officers of high rank.
No such restriction, however.was placed
on the emperors themselves, who, if
they wished to confer signal honor on
Romans, if a lover kissed his betrothed
before marriage, she inherited half bf
his worldly goods in the event of his
death before the marriage ceremony;
and if she died, her inheritance descended to her nearest relatives.
THOUGHT   HE   SAW  THE  DEVIL.
I remember7 says an old diver, in an
interview with the New York Post,once
on the Ohio when we were working at
some old stumps on the bottom that
had been giving considerable bother to
navigation; 1 was down putting a chain
around a big pine snag, when an old
darkey paddled out to our tug with
pawpaws and apples in. his bateau, to
sell to the men; we had quite a gang on
the job- Well, pretty' soon he caught
sight of my "tender" gazing down, into
the water and holding the "Jjose and
line/' and immediately wanted to know
"what he was fishing for." The "tender," who was Irish,promptly answered
that lie was fishing for the devil. Just
at that moment I signalled to be drawn
up, and when my helmet came above
water with a hiss of escaping air, the
first thing I saw was "Uncle Ned"
standing straight up in his boat, his
eyes fairly sticking out of his head. He
yelled: "My Lawd, he's caught him,
too!" and went overboard like a bullfrog. He never stopped swimming, till
he struck the Kentucky shore.
In the north of England, where
rabbit coursing is a very popular
sport, swift, well-trained dogs often
win large sums of money and local
fame for their owners.   An old York
shire  collier,   well  known for  his
success in the coursing field, surprised
his matp-" a  year or two ago by
marrying a decidedly ugly woman.
In addition to this, he was generally
considered a confirmed woman hater.
"Why has ta gone an' got spliced,
lad, at thy age?" one of his cronies
asked.    ' 'It's not much ot a tale," the
old  man  replied,    carelessly.     "I
agree wi' ye 'at Bessie yon' is no

Eighth Year
LONG   AGO.
I once knew all the birds that came
And nested in our apple trees;
For every flower I had a name—
My friends were woodchucks, toads
and bees,
I knew where thrived iii yonder glen
What plants would soothe a atone-
bruised toe-
On, I was very learned then,
But that was very long" ago.
I knew the spot upon the hill
Where checkerberries could be found;
I knew the rushes near the mill
Where pickerel lay that weighed a
pound;
I knew the wood—the very tree
Where lived the poaching,saucy crow,
And air the woods and crows knew me—
But that was very long ago.
And pining for the joys of youth,
I tread the old, familiar spot;
Oniv to learn this solemn truth:
I "have forgotten—am forgot.
Yet here's this youngster at my knee
Knows all the things I used to know;
To think I once was wise as he—
But that was very long ago.
I know it's folly to complain
Of whatsoe'er the Fates decree;
Yet were not wishes all in vain,
I tell you that my wish should be;
industries of the United States in 1900
was $180,941,000. The large disbursement places mining among the most
nrofitable of the country's industries.
The metal mines paid $51,58*2,000, or
39.3 per cent, of the total, and the industrial companies $79,439,000, or 60.7
per cent. Among the leading payers
ware the copper mines with $33,433,000
to their credit, the gold and silver mines
$13,907,000 and the petroleum companies
with $48,816,000.

most interesting work in advance.

BOUNDARY   CAMP.
Despite the severe cold weather and
the continued snow, mining operations
in the Boundary have gone ahead at a
good rate and the prospects are constantly growing brighter. At Phoenix
tho activity of the Dominion Copper
company has given a renewed impetus
to the camp and everyone feels confident of a good winter. Business is
picking up in all lines and building
especially.
That the Golden Crown will resume
at once was announced by W.J. Porter,
locator and superintendent of the pro
perty, who has just returned from a trip
to Brandon, Manitoba, where he went
to consult the directors of the company
He announces that active operations
will be resumed in February, and possi
bly before.   When work is once started
again there will be no further cessation,
as the owners of the mine are confident
they have a dividend payer.
Work is now actively progressing on
the switch being built above Fisherman
creek for. the accommodation of the
Humming Bird mine, which will ship
no more ore until the switch is com
pleted, This switch will save about 10
miles of a haul and will be a most valu
able aid to the production of the mines
of that section. The Humming Bird
has been actively developed during the
past couple of months and the results
obtained have been of the most encour
aging character. The new working
tunnel is now in 140 feet and has a
vertical depth of about 150feet,at which
level tho ore body is from two and a
half to three feet wide and is of a splen
did grade. Superintendent Liljegran,
who was in the city this week,' says the
mine will resume shipping more heavily
than ever as soon as the switch is completed.
Another property of that vicinity
which is likely to make use of the switch
is the Strawberry, which is only about
a couple of miles from the Humming
Bird, and which is reported as showing
a splendid body of ore of excollent
grade. It wao at first intended that
shipments from this property should
cross the bridge for which a government
appropriation was made some time ago,
but tho bridge seems to have boon lost
in tho shuffle, no any blilpuiunU from
the proiterty must come down the west
tide of the river for a time at least.-

It is objected that prayer is a request
for the contravention of the processes
of immutable law. But prayer itself is
a process of cosmic law. A prayer can
be no more uncaused than an earthquake. He who prayB for rain, or for
any physical phenomenon, prays the
prayer of the fool; but he who prays in
order to elevate himself into psychic
sympathy with the beloved dead and
the virtuous living prays the prayer of
poetic aspiration and divine vision.
Herein is a solemnity, a pathos, and an
ecstasy scarcely to be found elsewhere
