Moyie, and the big silver-lead mines tributary fo that, town, continues to attract great attention and several new discoveries of importance'haw added to the great prospective value of the camp. More properties, in ��� the mining section tributary to the town of Fort Steele, will be worked this season than have been before in many years An average of 100 tons of ore a day is being taken out of the Sullivan Group of Mines.

April 5.���One of the mosi,^ important steps yet taken in tho movement looking to the improvement of the trans- Atlantic mail service will be inaugurated on the White Star line steamships scheduled lo sail today from New York and from Liverpool. This involves the sorting of the mails on board the steamships so as to be ready for listribution when they arrive tit their destination. The system will be the same as that in use; on the American railroad-cars. Despite the great benefits to be derived from this innovation it was brought about only after Ijng negotiation between 'the posfa' authorities of this country aud Great. Britain. If it proves as successful as expected it will be extended to other lines so as to coyer all the heavy. tra.ns-At- lant.id. mails. on the introduction of the motion of Mr. W."J. Bowser (Vancouver) censuring- the action of the Dominion authorities at Ottawa iu interfering with /educational matters ' in the, , Northwest Autonomy bill. If Mr. Bowser desired to place the Opposition on the horns of a dilemma, if he desired to expose their pitiful weakness to the uusympathising gaze iof a curious 'and derisive public, if he wished the Liberal [.party in British Columbia ' to prove by their own actions that .they lacked the courage to defend their own friends and benefactors, and a.t the same time had 'not onoiurh backbone or patriotism to support their own much-boasted 'principles ��� tlien Mr. Bowser's wishes were cor La iii 1 y fully gratified. Certainly the member for Vancouver, iii the brilliant speech he made iu support ol" his resolution, did not spare either the Liberal party or< Sir Wilfrid Laurier. In dealing'with tho silver-tongued Liberal leader, he employed with great effect that neverfailing weapon the "deadly parallel", reading to the House copious extracts from Sir Wilfrid's great speech in 1S9G on the Manitoba School 'Question, juid, ' by , contrasting his pasl utterances and his present actions, condemning him out of his own mouth. He painted in scathing terms the attitude of the Liberal party throughout Lanada. shouting for provincial rights when if suited their game crushing and over-riding those same provincial rights when. that party-has fallen from everv instinct of decent manhood ' The mover of the resolution sat down and.the Speaker put ���the question, He got i:o reply. Noi" was there need tor a division." None but the mover spoke to the resolution, and the House placed itself on record, without a division, as being; unalterably opposed tO' the Dominion Government's methods of administering the affairs of the country. The estimates were brought down on Tuesday afternoon a,nd the Hon. R. O. Tatlow, Minister of Finance, delivered his Budget Speech the same day. The speech, like the statement itself, was remarkable for being uttfer- ly de'yoid of those flowers of rhetoric with which weaker men and weaker Governments, often seek to enhance the value; of their successes. ,or ,t.o minimize the extent of their failures, in the, public eye. It was a vevy plain, unadorned sctfing-forfh of the present financial position of the. province, wifhoul any attempt to place an undue 'value on future possibilities or lo misrepresent existing . 'facts. Throughout the speech was every evidence of careful painstaking endeavor, and of a con-' scienfious and by no means unsuccessful attempt to do the very best with the material in hand. The Minister's utterances in f.sho'i't, wore~iVTloiie and of a nature to still further increase that belief in their ability to administer , advantageously the aIVairs of this province which the preseut Government has already instilled into the people. [Lis impossible in an article of this limited description, to do more than glance at the Finance Minister's speech.- He pointed out that there Had been, for the first time in the history of the province, a small surplus of some ��27.000 for the fiscal year ending June JlOth., 190-1. and that another surplus was anticipated ior the current fiscal year. But a small deficit of some five or money, place or power stood to I six thousand dollars must, be an- be gained by so doing.

Mr. Stuart Henderson (Ash croft) is rather sorry lie spoke. True he carried his point so far as the wearing of wigs is concerned, but it was at the cost of such merciless ridicule that he counts his.victory a very Pyrrhic one. Why, they are calling him '���Barber" in the House now. and scarcely a .member gets up .but has something to say about the ���- *- '' Ashcrolt gentleman's interest in. wigs. There are, several circumstances, it may be remarked, connected with the bringing in of this extraordinary-and._ undignified piece of freak Legislation on 'thq part of the Liberals which are probably better not discussed here. At all events, the Ashcroft barber has committed political suicide very thoroughly. ���Possibly Mr. Henderson realized this himself on Thursday, when he opeued the evening session by continuing the debate on the Budget. The appalling fact must then have diuvncd upon him that the House refused any longer-to lake'him seriously. After a lew criticisms Lol the style1of 1'iai.ory employed, by the M "mister ,of Finance, .

The Coal Company has determined upon building a largo reservoir on the lull to the cast of the city for tho .purpose of guaranteeing an,ample supply of water for the coke ovens. Chief Engineer Wright and his staff located the site Jhis week and the work of building the reservoir was started al once to have it completed by the middle of April. The reservoir will be at an elevation of about ISO feet above the city. This will give a pressure of over .eighty pounds to the square, inch at the ovens and incidentally to all mains in ihe city now supplied hy the Klec- trie Light and Power Co.

At Trail onty one stack has been kept in operation, and it is reported that in a few clays the fires in this stack will be put out. iii each instance the .reason of the close down is failure of the ore ts up ply. The supply from the Slocan mines has fallen ajvav below the estimate made at the time the St Eugene, company applied for permission to export a portion of their ore and yet obtain the ����� government bounty thereon. Mr. Blackstbck undertook to make up the difference, required to' keep the two home smelters busy, after, taking into account the estimated supply from all the other silver-load properties! Having 'ascertained, what amount would likely be.required from them to" make up the difference referred to. the St. Eugene company contracted to supply a large amount to European smelters. In March last 3100 tons of concentrates wore shipped to Eu'ropo,' and (>00 tons to Trai' and Nelson combined. Each month's returns- show that the St. Eugene has supplied more than half of the silver-lead ore sent, to the home smelters.-. ���-' The contract made by tlie St. Eugene..will it is said, expire in June, Tint until that time, the two local smelters will have' to wait until a sufficient amount of ore accumulates'at the plants'before lighting tip the lead stack fires once more. Just what arrangements wore finally concluded between the silver-lead mines and the^smelt- ers. at the time of the proposition from the St. Eugene to export ore was discussed^ has��� never been made public. It is understood, however, that' with the amount of ore. the mine owners, other than the St. Eugene, said they could and would produce, there was no likelihood of any scarcity'of oz*e. Beyond any question had this not been the case different arrangements would have been ��� come to as the expressed desire of all interested was that tne lead plants in B.C. should'be kept busy right along. The .figures upon which the output of the silver-lead mines, other than the St. Eugene, wasbased have never beeu' given out aud itds not possible at the moment to say where the great falling off has been.

Butrlhe true ^Liberal contempt for.the poor got the better of his wisdom when he took to discussing the Lillooet election. lie had not, he said, been able to comprehend the Government's victory there, until he came across the following paragraph in the report on Agriculture for 1902: "Tt is just possible that the disease among the cattle on the west side of the river is 'indignant catarrh*. Since writing to you last 1 have learned that the disease has been more or less virulent there for several years past.
