A report from Vancouver 011 the mining situation in iBritish Columbia, says: With the year drawing to a close mining men are beginning to, total up British Columbia's mineral production duiing 1902, and he is a pessimist indeed who does not concede an advance of 25 per cent over 1901. The pio- duction that year was officially given as $20,086,7 80, so that the lowest estimate lor this year js��$25,000,000. Hut the latest figqres from the Houndary, the Slocan, Rossland, Atlin, Cariboo and Vancouver, Island justify one in predicting that the annual report of the department of mines will show the figures to be nearer $2 7,500,000 than $25,000,000, while next year may see the $30,000,000 mark passed. It will thus be seen that British Columbia, even with the copper, lead and silver markets working against it, is twice a Klondike, for he would be a bold man indeed who would place the Yukon's output this year at over $15,- 000,000. Reason For Optimism, I That there is every reason to be optimistic concerning this year's production is evident from the first public speech delivered by the minister of mines since he became premier. Colonel Prior stated at tbe banquet of the Victoria pioneers that be was emphalic-| ally of the opinion that the mining industry was on a good basis. Great progress is being made in the Boundary. Said he: "The Rossland mines are today shipping more ore than ever before in their history; from the Slocan 100,000 tons of zinc ores will be shipped next year into the United States; the Atlin district is most 'prosperous, and I am nappy to say that a new era of prosperity is setting in the Cariboo." Boundary Leads. The figures so far available for the Boundary and Rossland show the great strides forward that, have been made in those regions. The boundary leads the rest of the province in ore production, it haying given 457,598, tons to date, with the prospect of reach zie's, Dec. 26, 27.

A PHOENIX PIONEER RETURNS. Is More Than Ever Impressed Willi Future ol This Camp. A. P. Nipgen, who was a resident of Phoenix three years ago, but who is now located at liulte, Montana, spent a couple of days in the city this week, on his return from a trip to San Francisco. Mr. Nipgen has been living in Unite since leaving Phoenix, and says he has been doing well there, coming out a full fledged attorney and owning one of the business blocks in that city. When the fall in copper occuned, early this year, nearly all of the Butte mines closed, throwing out of employment some r0,000 men. About half thai number are now employed,, however, and business is looking decidedly better in that great red metal camp. "Phoenix has wonderfully improved," said Mr. Nipgen, "since I lived here. One would scarcely know the city, with its well graded streets, new churches, hospital, school and many fine buildings. It will undoubtedly he a great camp in the near future." Mr. Nipgen evidently knows a good thing when he sees it, a s he owns some of the best business property here. securing 40 more ere cars R. A. Brown, who has been working on the Volcanic, on the North Fork of Kettle river, for the last fifteen years, proposes to continue the long tunnel, which is npw in some 000 feet. An increase of 12^/- per cent has been given by the C. P. K. ��� to all its conductors and trainmen on lines east of Fort William, thereby adding about ^250,000 to the company's payroll. Geo. L.

A recent issue of the Montreal St.ii contains an jnteiesting and .important interview with S. M. C. Miner, president of the Granby Co. Mr. Miner said, "We are smelling 1500 tons a day, and we are going to build another smelter with a capacity of 2,000 tons, and in a short time expect to be turning out 4,000 tons a day. In a short time we shall have the wealthiest miners in the world on our boards." ''Englishmen ? " "No, Americans. The English, I am sorry to say, have not appreciated or realized tho capabilities of our country and the Americans have anticipated them." the Union Iron Woiks, of Spokane owned by G. A.

"Other People's Money." ' Jay Gould, when he was asked one time how he attained his riches, answered: "By playing with-other peo- ile's money." The same answer might be given by the character, "Hutchinson Hopper," in the comedy, "Other People's Money." Tbe piece is written on legitimate lii.es, is clean, bright, witty and probable. Th'-j scenes and characters are drawn from modern eveiy-day Ameiican life; and the principal personage, "Hutchinson Hopper,'" is a creation that will live 011 the stage for years to come.

The new Prior government, through itstsupporters, .is making eveiy effort to hojd its own, ,and ihe premier is to be commended for throwing open the constituency of North Victoria. Perhaps he teeis certain,that he will thus have one^more supporter in the house, a vrel- ,come'addition, probably, when he comes tor count noses. . It now seems certain that the pre- mier^ill meet the house with a small . majority, and then the fun will begin. , He has evidently decided on two strokes of policy. One of.these is the nullification of, the two per cent mineral tax, 1 and "the other k the putting through ol , a new deal vkh, MacKenzie & Mann f for Unbuilding of the Canadian Northern. 71 he first of these will be welcomed by nearly all the mining districts, for while the amount realized annually by.the two per cent tax has not been se, its. incidence has been not a ' But the Canadian Northern scheme ^willjnpt be so welcome to the counlr) at large, with the exception of Vancou yer Island. ..We do not really believe that , MacKenzie & Mann will ever build so as to have the terminal of theii road at Victoria.. But they will cer- . tainly, continue to' talk that way, and will probably get the subsidy they are , alter on that basis. Ifthe premier will , consent to an appeal to the. people at , an early, date, he will gain more friends . than in any other way. _ Such an appeal , should settle, many knotty questions, and it is worth trying once more, WfflPfWe THE DEVIL At the last session of the legislative assembly, the liquor license act was amended, so that it is now necessary for the holder of a license to sell liquors by retail, outside of municipalities, to have his name on the voters' list. This is merely another way of saying that no aliens shall be permitted to conduct .thirst quenching parlors, outside of cities,in the province. Probably this was the intent of framer ofthe act, but note how it works out. l\ext Monday the Board of License Commissioners for the Houndary Creek License District, as well as the boards for other districts, will hold the semiannual statutory meeting to grant licenses for the ensuing year or half year. Already, a number of present holders of licenses, who cannot qualify as such .under the new act, are having licenses taken out in the names of those who can so qualify. There is nothing in the act, so far as known, to prevent this, and advantage is naturally being taken of that fact. It is certain that the liquor license ���; act should be safeguarded in every possible way, and that licensees should , be made to conform to the law, But why 'this discrimination should be made, and in such a way that it is in- 1 operative, practically, is not clear. 'JL'his"is 'the first time that such a discrimination has been-made, and it is \ -practically a dead letter. It is easy, -htf this case, to whip the devil around pthe stump. ��� ' The Grand Trunk is a great railway . i system, but its directors arc not building transcontinental lines for fun, any more thian did the C. P. R. or would , tbe Canadian Northern. They are all , aching to get their hands into the muddle at Victoria. Col. Prior cannot play those cai up his sieve too quickly if he the support of the electorate, do be troublous times to the average politician. wishes These Joseph Martin has come out flat- footed against the Prior government, and says we need_an_ appeal., to the people at once. Notwithstanding his political acrobatic feats ofthe past, the Man from Manitoba is now talking sense. If conferences and conventions are of avail, the silver-lead miners of the province should be in better shape one of these fine days. There are so many diverse opinions, however, that it wi give our Dominion representative, M Galliher, an excellent opportunity I do next to nothing.

'I here is nothing surer about a newspaper than that it will be read���every item and every advertisement that is worth reading. A little advertisement is better than none, but often a little advertisement is wasted where a great deal would show a decided profit.

Thus jt is seen that we have the low grade mines and those of hij-h grade also. ��� ��� ��>��� *" .7 It bas been a question in the minds of some whether, when the Republic mines were shipping 500 tons daily/to the Gmnby smelter, if that fact would not materially reduce the amount that the smelter could handle from its own mines in Phoenix camp.'''��� To'set tlie matter at rest, a Pioneer man asked tlie question direct of Mr; Graves, the general-'manager "of' the Granby' Co. Mr. Gmves stated that it would make little 01 no difference, as the two converters at the smelter could use a considerable amount of Republic ore for linings,.when the converters were able 10 run steadily, and thai the balance would be readily absorbed by the furnaces, making almost no difference, in '.he shipments from this camp.

He did not fail to tell of the tremendous amount of coke and coal his company was capable of turning out once more, with a lot of. other stuff, and complained that the demand from the smelters for coke was so irregular. . 7,<�� ���''������," .��� Now, let us see how irregular; this demand is,; as far as the Boundary smelters are concerned.' The seven blast furnaces now being operated in ihe three Boundary smelters will use on an average of about 450 tons of coke daily, niore or less. Yet it is a fact thai' when the Granby smelter was about to blow iii its fourth furnace last week Friday, the management had exactly five cars of coke oi\ hand��� less than ioo tons. This smelter alone re; quires about 250 tons of coke -daily, and this hand to mouth business is anything but satisfactory. joint recommendation to the Dominion and provincial governments in. effect that no more subsidies', either in land or cash, be granted to any persons or companies seeking, assistance of this nature towards the constiuction of railways.'

It is about time that this state of affairs, changed. Otherwise, one ot these fine days, Mr. Rogers will face the fact that a goodly part of his home market has gone.

But In a recent round-up the champion did a more remarkable thing, by which, says the Kansas City "Star," he saved his own and another man's life. While he and some companions were camping tor the night on a high tableland, which ended a few miles away In an abrupt drop of two hundred feet, a storm swept through the mountains. Made nervous by the lightning, the herd of fifteen hundred cattle stampeded in the direction of the precipice. Evans and his men mounted hurriedly and, circling to the tront of the madder >d cattle, tried with whoops and revolver-sho's to turn them back. In the dense blackness of the night Evans's horse missed his footing and went down In a heap, one leg in a gopher-hole. The horse of a cowboy named Davis, running close behind, stumbled over Evans's horse, and Davis, too, came to earth and lay still, unconscious. Fifty yards away came the herd, and a short flash of lightning showed Evans the situation. The swiftly moving sea of cattle reached one hundred yards each way. Unable to arouse Davis, and never thinking of leaving his disabled comrade, Evans took the only chance of saving both. He emptied his own revolver and his companion's into the center of the herd, cutting a breach In the fronfof the. mass.': Then, throwing the inanimate form of Davis.over his shoulder, he awaited his -., opportunity:'- ���-��� ". : .",' ������.'���.. - As one of the leaders brushed by, Evans, with one movement, put the body of Davis across the shoulders of the steer, and mounted, also. Vainly the animal leaped, bucked and side- Jumped. "With his le^s wrapped tight-, iy-around the body of hi* mount, Evans drove his spurs deep in, and held himself and Davis In place. ���''/;��� ���'.'.���''..':��� The steer, wild with rage, agony and fright, rapidly left the herd In the rear, and, veering to the rig-ht in a'furious gallop, carried his riders out of danger. Then Evans rolled off the back of his strange rescuer, and a half-hour later, when his cowboys turned the herd, at the rim of the canyon, arid rode iback'to look for the foreman and Davis, they found them, both unconscious.- The weary steer, with his sides covered with blood, lay exhausted a short distance away. The outfit ordered a medal for Evans, and the steer has been pensioned for life on th^ best alfalfa in the valley. Curious Bits of News. The iflrst monument <��ver erected to a cook is about to be inaugural ed' In Paris. The chef In questio �� is Vrbain Dubois, who labored in the German Emperor's kitchen. A new volume of reminiscences by Dean Hole quotes the following extraordinary prayer as offered by a loyal but certainly injudicious English clergyman on behalf of Queen Adelaide, the wife of William IV.: "Oh Lord, save Thy servant, our sovereign lady, the queen; grant that as she grows an old woman she may become a new man; strengthen her with Thy blessing that she may live a pure virgin, bringing forth sons and daughters to the glory of God. and give her grace that she may so forth before her people like a he goat on the mountains." - Certain creeds seem to monopolize^ certain Industries. Practically all British manufacturers of cocoa, for example, are Quakers. In I<ondon a very large percentage of cigar merchants and all the best-known manufacturers of Christmas cards are Jews.

The- elevator will be fitted wtih a series of buckets that will receive the full flow of water and slag and raise it to a height of about 50 feet. This will allow of the dump being filled up level with the furnace floor and will, it is estimated, provide for the expeditious and economical disposal of the slag from two furnaces for two or three years, by which time it is likely that the company will have put in a train- way with cars and a small locomotive or electric niotor for handling the slag. The elevato"' should be received at the smelting works by the middle of December, and be in operation three or four days after arrival on the grounds.

A.JACKSON, General Passenger AReut. Spokane, Wash. N interesting story comes from tha French Alps of Dauphlny relating the futile efforts of the Princess of Croy, who desired to enter the monastery of the Grande Chartreuse, a habitation from which women visitors are rigidly excluded. The story runs that the Princess dressed herself In boy's clothes and accompanied her husfcand to the Institution. The gates were opened to them, and the Prince sent his card to the father superior, with a line to the effect that he was accompahled by a friend. Just as they were about to make the round of the building the word was received that the father would like to see the Prince and "his friend." Going upstairs they were received by the smiling- monk, who cordially invited them to join him in an appetizing lunchton. The Princess endeavored to make the Ibest of the situation, but she was not put any the more at her ease by the fact that the monk kept gazing sharply at her. At last he exclaimed suddenly: "Catch it, young man!" at the same time throwing at her a large pear. The Princess was startled, and, thrown completely off her guard, made a motion to grab up her skirt, the absence of which she overlooked In her confusion. Then the father stopped smiling and said with great gravity: "I beg your pardon, madam, but la dies are not allowed in the monastery. I must ask you to wait outside until the Prince has finished his inspection." And outside she had to go, tho reverend father bowing her from the room WJth most elaborate politeness. Gasolene Is, tt appears, the fuel most suitable for submarines; but human sensations give no sure warning- when Its collected fumes are becoming dangerous. White mice, however, are said to be extremely sensitive to this poison, and perish incontinently before human beings begin lo suffer the slightest Ill- effects. So In all submarines of the future cages full of white mice are to be kept on the floor, whence the heavy emanations gradually rise, and lit will always be someone's duty to go round and see how the mice are getting oa. Much interest attaches to the recent discovery at Combarelles, in the department of Dordogne,-Prance, ot.a cave, the rock walls of which are decorated with engraved figures, some of which are rudely colored, representing such animals as the horse, the cow, the bison,- the reindeer, the mammoth and the wild goat. Most of these pictures, .which number more than 100, are covered with a stalagmltlc deposit, partially or entirely concealing them. It Is believed that they were made in paleolithic times, and that they furnish evidence that the reindeer and the mammoth lived In Prance contemporaneously with the artists of the cavern. ,; It.Is a curious fact that the present session of the United States Congress contains no negro member. "With the exception of a brief period from 1887 to 188��; .this Is the first session In thirty- two years when this has been the case. The first colored man ,to be sent to Congress was J. Willis Menard of New Orleans, who was eleoted to fill a vacancy In 1868. In 1870 Hiram R. Revells took his seat in the'Senate, the first negro to be seated In thai -body. Blanche K. Bruee was the only other negro to enter the Senate. The Forty- Fourth Congress, which sat from 1875 to 1877, may be called -the black Congress, since there were eight-members In both branches. There Is an historical reason for the baneful repute of the opal. Two or three centuries ago the stone was popular In Europe, and the jewelers of Italy were especially cunning In its setting. At the height of Its popularity came the plague, which made havoc in Venice. It was noticed by some observant person In ihat city that when a victim was, a,t the point of death, his opal, if he wore one, brightened, while after death it became dull. As this accession of brilliance implied a sort of malignant purpose or Intelligence In the stone, It was charged with the death of its owner, it never occurred to the scientists of that time to turn the Incident around the other way, and see if the patient had anything to do with the opal. But that was the way of It: the heightened fever just ^before death caused the stone, which Is affected by heat, to become more brilliant, and the chill and damp afterward dulled it. Childish.

They are nearly always democratic when permitted any latitude. The desire for playmates levels sense of caste. If any exists. On a s.'reet through which I often pass there !>s a coterie of children who blend with.the most thorough harmony, although they are of quite different social strata. Ono of the boys is a "smart" young gentleman in knickerbockers, always well groomed; another Is a Uttle Italian; a third, tlie thin, restless, wide awak son of a housekeeper. One of the Htti ?hls is a negress, with her woolly ha, standing out from her head in thli. etirved-up tails.

Owing to the oxodus from the West Fork, due to the non-completion of the wagon road, the mining recorder's office at Beaverdell has been closed for the winter. BUSINESS NOTICES. GaveTJp the Y���The C. P. R. has about decided not to use the Y this winter, recently constructed in the Phoenix yards. Several days ago one of the heavy Shay engines" was run on the Y to turn it, and went off the rails, requiring the other Shay to pull it on again, and making some eight hours' delay. As the Y was built in the winter weather and could not be ballasted to advantage now, it is not thought wise to attempt lo use it till spring, when it can be properly and permanently prepared. S, A. Easton, formerly manager of the Gold Drop, in" this camp, is now assistant manager of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine, at Wardner, Idaho, a mine which has paid nearly $1,500,- 000 in profits.
