Alexander has returned to Ymir after an absence of about 12 ■months. That is about as long as long as any Ymirite can stand to be away from Yiuir. Mr, DeWitte, foreman of the Wilcox mine, who has been a patient at the Kootenay Lake Hospital, Nelson, for the past two weeks, left that institution lust Thursday. W. II Dowsing has been appointed! secretary of the Kootenay Tourist Association in the place of Harry Wright M. P P., who finds that his duties in his constituency occupy all his spare time.

William Blukcmore, M. E . returned yesterday .from a trip to Sulmo. He inspected a group of 15 contiguous claims and found two leads, one ten feet wide ami the other four, of free milling gold i|iiants. From assays of the ore taken from various parts of the leads, values of 818 to the ton were shown. Nothing but assessment work has so far been done on the properties. They aro situated about J2 miles from the railway and easily aoeessable. Mr. lilakemoro was examining theniin the interest of a Kpi;ke.iie syndicate, but of course, could not yet tell the press what is the nature of his report. He says there ore comparatively few prospectors in the hills between Ymir aied the boundury and little activity except in mines already iu the shipping class. He met a party of Timber cruisers who were scaling timber for a Spokane company, which proposes erecting mills. The .Salmo shingle mill is working with a full force. Mr. Black more considers the taking over of the Bay nine group a very important transaction and likely to lead lo other developments, Hotel Arrivals. MoLbod llorKI.:—A. II. Mot lis, Vancouver; L. It.

Messrs. Falls and Dewar have been working for the pu*t two weeks on the 210 acres leased by the Hall Placer Min ing Partnership, and during that time have thoroughly tested the ground til all directions. For their work, conducted only with tho crude appliances at their disposal, they have a -nice little bottle of gold, for the most part consists of quite coarse flakes. Of their many tests the lowest result obtained was oO cents from one cubic yard. Another half yard put through returned §1 25. When it is remembered that large areas of auriferous gravels are being worked in California and other states at a cost of about srveu cents per cubic yard, it can easily be seen that this Hall creek ground is a very enticing proposition. Apart however from the figures above quoted, which represents the value of the coarse gold flakes recovered, after separation from the black sand, there is an additional yalue, recoverable only by the smelting of the bluok sand Assays from this sand have ranged between $38 and $120 per ton, und from rough tests it is calculated thut a cubic yurd of gravel contains about 15 pounds of this valuable sand. It is tbe intention of the partnership which own' the lease of this ground, to install a centrifugal pump which will handle about 1000 cubic yards in twenty four hours. This pump will take up the gravel mixed with water and will carry rocks and pebblcM of less than four and one- half inches in diameter. With the installation of this and other necessary appliances n large rate of profit making should be maintained. The Peterson Bros, who are work* ing a creek claim on the Salmon river juat lielow Hull creek, have also got something to show already for their labour. They have constructed a ground sluice and a wing dam, and by these methods are handling a considerable quantity of gravel. A representative of the "IIkiiai.u'' got u couple of shovclsfull of the gravel being handled at tin; time of his visit, and panned them down, The result can be seen at the HlHAl/D olftie! any day.

For YalesCariboo District, MARTIN BURRtLI*; Of Grand Forks. New Westminster District, .1. D. TAYLOR, Of New Westminster. The Dominion Government has ;p.ussod the 'ite'w election act, and the ■date of election in Kootenay will be fixed by the returning officer. Thete will be some hot electioneering be- •tweon the date of tlie general election and the local dute, and if the results from tbo general election are close enough to give the deciding power to the delaytd districts, there will be a concentration of political luninaries iu Kootonay and the other ridings iu question. The details given in this issue respecting placer mining operations now leing conducted on Hall creek and along the Salmon river, will command considerable attention. The result quoted will convince all milling men faiuilar with placer operations that tbe auriferous -gravels.of this section j.resent an attractive field for speculation. So far the industry is iu its merest infancy, but with the installation of adequate machinery, great things limy be expected from the Sal jiioii ri.'or plucej's, Those Liberal newspapet-s of the Province, which conduct the hue-and- cry after tlio-scalp of the McBride tGJovewment and stand ready to con-| demn each and every act of that Government no mutter what it may be, have rather let up on tho Hast Kpo.tehay coal and oil licenoe question, The fact is the Provincial Government stands to not over 800,000 of revenue, 4he greater part derived from American sources, and escapes an endless tangle of litigation, -which could only be unravelled at a large expense and consequently .larger taxation. All of which, to the common people, appears like a very statesmanlike proceeding. If plenty of reading makes a man happy, Nelson residents should be among tlio blessed. There are few towns of a population comparable with that of Nelson, which can boast of four newspapers. Yet such will be the proud boost of Nelson shortly. With the re slat ting of thu daily issue of the Tribune, there will be two dailies, and the removal of l/iwer.v's New Denver "I-edge", to Nelson, makes a second woeltly. llossland, a town of about equal size, has only -one paper now, and that is none too flourishing If the four Nelson paper., representing as they do, all shades of politics, can make a living, ii speaks well for the prosperity of the town. The Nous js a staunch Grit production, the Tribune is Hous* tonic and anti-loly-McBrldolto, •while the Economist is nnti-HoUMW' ic, anil the Ledge is presumably Cot:- ecrVtttive, Nclsonites will therefore be in a position to bear sharp fusillades from the daileis, supported by cannonades of satire mid humour from Dave Ciirley and the versatile I/iwery, in which the utterances of the dailies will be dissected and served witli |i*l per and salt and sometimes a little Vitregar once a week. There would now seem to be every indication that the season of compilative in-aotivity, through which Ymir has been passing, is about to end, Good reports are coming in from all directions, and there is every i eaaon to anticipate a busy fall and winter. Reliable reports from the Ymir mine indicate that better ore is now being got from the lower levels, and that good profits qjay be expected from present operations, a condition whioh would.gofar tow-establish confidence in B. C. in the London market. The Dundee mine will resume operations this month, and will be financially situated so that work ,cun be conducted upon u scale, commensurate with the big ore bodies of this property. 'The Foghorn mine is also reported to be about to recommence work, with the probability of a largo mill being erected in the near future Shipments from the Hunter V, are increasing to a aertle, where tho force will have to be considerably augment ed. The, Salmon river placer .mining operations are attracting widespread a.i'csitliui and will grow to an inpor- tancc approximating that of the quurtK mining industry. At -the Wilcox mine I be conditions are most encouraging, all the several ore bo dies showing continuous improvement under development. Several new ileitis, involving large sums of money., are now undor negotiation. The local lumber concern is running to the full capacity, and according to reliable reports, u still larger concern is about to be started lower down the line, At .Salmo and Erie similar conditions prevail, aud it is difficult to escape the conclusion that "times are looking up."

X V Reviewing the chief points at issu a ' botween the federal parties, towards the close of what may prove to be the last meeting ot the present parlia incut, the Toronto Mail and Empire, chief organ of the Liberal Conservative opposition, tinds the outlook for its party tho best since the days of Sir John Macdonald, when the magic of the old chieftain, time and again proved a determining factor in the contests. 1'his session, the paper named remarks, -''has been especially favorable to the Liberal-Conservatives, and is calculated to inspire the party with renewed energy, and with a larger hope for the welfare of Canada. For one thing, it has exhibited to the puli lie a united body of parliamentarians under a statesman who is daily grow. tug, not alone in thu estimation of his colleagues, but in the confidence of the country. No leader could receive a heartier support than that which the able phalanx of repiesentatives behind him renders, and certainly there is not one who better deserves it. Strong in debate, constructive in his statesmanship, kindly in his personal intercourse, honorable beyond question, and gifted in a high degree with the business talents which commend a public man to the good opinions of his fellow-citizens, Mr. Borden is the statesman to whom tho best thought of Canada is looking for guidance at this pivotal point in our history. "His policy as developed during the session makes unquestionably - for the public good. At the outset it whs a forceful and well directed effort to defend us from a proposition which a former Minister of the Crown has denounced as a 'sheer wasto of the public money, without one redeeming feature.' From this unhappy muddle Mr. Borden has striven to deliver us. There is no reason in the world why we should construct a railway at the public cost',' and then deliberately give it away that private parties may reap the results of our investment. Mr. Borden is on firm and patriotic ground on this subject, and the country is with him. He is also in line with public opinion in his views of our fiscal polioy. It is true that the concession to the woollen industry Ills been accompanied by an unfortunate reduction of the British preference, which is equivalent lo a notice to Great Britain that we are not nn iill her on the question of inter Imperial trade. It is also true that tho anti-dumping law is illuiory in that it applies to individual cases rather than to all instances of slaughtering. Those measures havo their bad features. But they are a public notification from the government side that Mr. Borden is right and that ho has l»>en so from the first. "Other issues of equal importance pi iiss for solution. It is not proper that Canada should be taxed to meet an expenditure of (70,000,000 a year. Half that amount was too much eight years ago, on the testimony of the present Ministers. The above figure takes from trade channels millions Nelson Fair Second Annual Exhibition Of The Clark's Furniture Store | Ymir Bakery and Cafe WILLIAM CLARK AV ,y HUFSCHMTDT, Prop Undertaker and Furniture Dealer i j Mail orders p/oinpt'.y attended to • short orders a specialty.

Drawer Al 13, YMIR, B.i". i Hotel Ymir I incuts ou the pretence that they are I private property, the suppression of thu truth, the attack upon the independence of public officers, the open demand that these officials shall subordinate efficiency to politics, the requirement that the public expenditures shall not be subject to a propor audit as ordered by law, the assertion of Ministerial authority over the judges of tho land, all these things— developments of the present session— constitute a national peril from which Mr. Borden, as a friend of freedom, must protect us. No issue facing us to-day is of more importance than the last that has been raised, namely, the question whether the people or a small body of politicians—a now Family Compact—shall govern. There is before the Liberal Conservative party a mass of work to be done. The railway muddle and the transportation question have to be solved, the producing industries, of the country have lo be conserved and promo ted, the taxntion of the poople has to be reduced, the 'deals' have to he stopped, the liberty of parliament and the right of the electorate to rule have to he restored.

The waters moving in a whir] carry around pelt- lilcs and stones, and through this grinding process circular pits or basins are gradually worn iu the Holid lock. The curious freak of nature recently discovered in a copper mine in Chili, an Indian transformed to mineral, has a duplicate in a Swedish miner who fell down a shaft of an abandoned pyrite mine near Fahlun, Kwedan, and his body was discovered GO yoars after, being found converted into iron pyrites, whi'ih had slowly hut surely replaced the organic materials and retained their forms. When taken out and exposed to the light and atniosplicro the pyrites after a time decomposed and crumbled away. Various theorios have been antiouu- ced to account for the phenomena of radio activity or from whence this wonderful energy. One of tho suppositious is in supposing the atoms of radium evolving and transforming into another simple body, and despite the extreme slowness of that trans formation, which cannot be located during a year; the 'imount of energy involved in that transformation is tremendous. Another theory eou- Two Centuries in B. C.

Morice, 0, M, I., than whom it would bo difficult indeed to find a writer better qualified by experience and learning, to deal with the subject which at his hand lias been made so interesting. Father Morice presents in the most entertaining way a "History of the Northern Interior of British Columbia (fonnerly New Caledonia) from 1060 to 1S80." An outline map heips in the understanding of the narrative of travel, and- a series of portraits and other illustrations reveal many faces and scones of historical interest, The author explains in his preface that the present volume is an enlargement of a paper he had prepared on Aboriginal History, embodying facts which ou account of the light they i.lir,,/ on the manners and cus toms of the natives in pre-European times, he thought it well to preserve for posterity.

The following on explosivos is from the pen of an export and commands attention: The advantages of using strong explosives are manifold and manifest. If of two explosives of equal price one be Stronger than the other, it is evident that less may be employed to do the same work, und tho principal ecouomy remains, even where the stronger commands the highor price, for the main expense of blasting iu the labor of driling, loading, etc., Ihe cost of the explosive being ono of the minor items. Therefore, it is economical to use the stronger explosive (even al a higher price,) The completion of the work in a shorter space of time must also be taken into account, for the sooner the work is completed the soonor wo shall commence to realize the profit. In many cases, however, strength is a matter of secondary Importance, and in certain classes of work the mode of action becomes the paramount consideration. Of two explosives, one exciting a very powerful action upon a small surface and the other a milder hut more sustained action upon a larger muss, it is evident that each will be useful in its own way one will shatter the other wil In dealing with haul rook| economy lies in the use of the strongest grade, or No. 1.

Pr. Robert Telford, of the Burrard Sanitarium, who was arrested Saturday evening at the close of the in- queat over the body of the lato M' ss Howell, stood up in the police court this morning to answer to a more serious charge than the one at first laid against him. When he appeared before police magistrate Williams, he was informed that ho was accused by the crown of having committed murder, Dr, Telford was accompanied by his counsel, Joseph Martin and W. J. Bowser, and was supported by several friends. In a dear und distinct voice he pleaded "Not guilty." Mr. Martin urged that the prisoner be allowed his freedom under bail. Magistrate Williams replied that the coroner's jury had been composed of representative business men; (hat he supposed the crown knew its business in making the charge it had; and that he could not admit to bail under such a serious char- o. . ' The Inquest itself terminated late on Saturday afternoon, the jury reporting tho following verdict: "We, the jury, find that the deceas ed, Hattio Howell, came to her death as the result of an abortion performed by Dr, It.
