This svork is done by Government appropriation. The Sunday Schoolchildren had a picnic on Thursday last, neat the hike to the northwest of the townsite A very enjoyable time was spent, both by the big and little children. Robert McDougall, accountant for the Porto Rico Lumber Co., has gone hoiiie to Ontario for a vacation. His place will he filled temporarily by John Dewar, the president of the Company, The subject for the morning service in the Presbyterian church next Sunday will be "Typical Men,' Tn tho evening "Are we free people!" The choir will also sing the anthem "Love Divine" in the evening. Tanghe, the gentlemau who staked a placer location, over the Lucky J ack lode claim nt Poplar creek, and h-s been engaged in litigation thore- fJhu ever since, is now in the neighborhood of Hall creek, looking over placer possibilities there. The young gontlemnn named Me- Konzio, whom Constable Fraser brought back from Salmo, to answer a charge of obtaining goods nnder false pretences, appears to have a knowledge of how to do things iu style. After liquidating his liabilities here, he put off for Nelson, where we lind him registered at the Hume Hotel. This should be an unforlunato is- suo of the Hhkai.1i, seeing it is No. 1:1 published on the l.'lth day of the month. So fur we haven't noticed il however. Some time ago we said of ono of our issues that it was the biggest ever printed in Ymir. To-day we say it again of this issue, which is 25 per cent more numerous than the ono previously referred to, Professor Cooper, the phrenologist, has been giviug fuithor demonstras tious of his skill this week. The Professor is an able lecturer, and hus his subject literally "at his lingers ends." The result of his lectures is, that his hearers, in the privacy of their chambers, carefully parade before the mirrors, in order to discouver if there is any latent criminality about them, or if they are genuisos, all undiscovered, and merely waiting a gentle hint, such as tho professor can give, to wake to a full reiili/.ntion of their powers. Philip White, one of the pioneer mining men of Ymir, was in town again this week. Mr. White is one of the fortunate ones who has reaped a harvest from his mining operation! in this rich section, and he is now located at Vancouver, where he is enjoying u well deserved rest. Ho hus acquired several building lots in Iho coast metropolis, and is erecting Urge brick buildings. He has also a ranch of 1200 acres and IflO head of cuttle in the Chilicolin district in northern British Columbia', Dining his stay hero he visited tho Wilcox mine, which owes its present day succors In his indefatigable and untiring persistence, by which it was successfully Steered through many troubled tin* aucial crises. There hus been a general postpone ment of the opening of the public schools until the 22nd, August. Mi. Do Witte, foreman of the Wilcox mine, has sufficiently recovered from his illness to be back at Ymir, but is not yet strong enough to rusUltc his duties at the mine. Firp chief Coffey has prepared the following signals for handling the lire alarm: Steady ringiilj; means lire. One stroke (pause) two 'Strokes (pause) three strokes, means a cull for help to handle the hose when drying and reeling it up after use. \Some interesting tests were made this week, as to the capacity of the local waterworks in time of fire. It was found, that at the present low water, it would take four streams, thrown by the fire hose, two and a quarter hours to empty the reservoir, running continously. Although this is a very fair record, remembering the extremely low water in Quartz creek at present, it might be quite insufficient should a fire get a good hold in the main business part. We would remind owners of the hand fire extinguishers to keep them in order, ready for use the minute a lire alarm is rung. Constable Frazer left this week for tho Coast, in charge of the Indian Peel, who has been sentenced to four years imprisonment for thefts near Castlegar. The Ymir constable is the one which can bo the most easily spared in the Kootcnays, for a job like this, a fact which is itself a refutation of tho stories disseminated in the press, about the tough town of Ymir. As a matter of fact the Constable mude his first arrest in the Ymir district this week, after having been here nearly three months. Mr. Frazer is an able officer, but Ymir is such an orderly community, that there is not much scope for bis ability. The mining depaitment of Ihe Spokane Fair this year will make awards for the best mineral exhibits iu the various branches. Thin will be pleasing lo exhibitors who have wUhed for something of this kind for scleral years. The nature of these awards has not boen determined, but Mr. Ccplen has already chosen for judges two of tho best men who could bo secured for this work (J. M. Fas sett,, the OSSayer of Spokane, is one of these L K. Armstrong, publisher of Mining, is the other. Roth of these men ure thoroughly conversant with the mining resources of every district in the northwest. Their judgment is reliable and their awards will be respect ml by till mining men. A third judge will be secured. BROKEN HILL MINING & DEVELOPHENT COMPANY, UNITED. litePOKT.

One of the best mutches of the season was played here las", Sunday, between Ymir and Salmo, und after u hurd fought buttle resulted in a victory for the fonn.tr, the score being I'.! toll. At first Ymir seemed to be having a walk away, and at the end of the second innings, the seore stood at 9 to 0 in luvor of Ymir. Then Yniir made one or two errors, so that by the end of tho first half of the last innings they had only added one run, while Salmo had piled up II. A wild throw by tho Salmo pitcher in the last innings, however,enabled Ymir to seme a couple of runs and win the game. Probably half a dozen runs were thrown away by the Ymir buys in their over anxiety to eteal bases, and iu taking two many ebiinccs in base running Dr. Doherty was referee and his decisions were us usual given with the greatest impartiality. The only serious objection raised to them was by a spectator, named Saw ycr, who contracted a sudden hallucination that he was himself the n ferec, and delayed the game for a while. The Doctor, however, under- Stood tl.e proper treatment of such hallucinations, und Mr. Sawyer was quickly undeceived. After the match there was some discussion as to the disposition of tho cup won iu the match against Nelson nn the 24th, May As the team which heat Nelson was composed of both Ymir and Salmo players, (I •• cuptiiin of the hitter team, suggested thai the two tennis play for it, eitln r one, three or live mulches. This, we think is a very reasonable suggestion, und one that Ymir might graecfuly adopt.

The question as to tho advisability of incorporating tho town of Ymir has been often discussed, and is now once more before the people. ' Conditions have somewhat altered since the last public discussion, and it may be thut there are now more adherents to the proposition than formerly. Tho ■jiiestioii is one which neods to be thoroughly examined on all sides, before any stop is taken, and in order to arrive at tho pros and cons of tho situation, we offer our columns to all tlmse who may have arguments to advance for or against the idea. To all appearances, the opening up of the East Kootenay Oil lands, will bring more American capital into l'.ritish Columbia, than has come in during a good many years previous. Already a large number of licences ,havo beon issued to American syndicates, some of which represent largo capital. Tho Standard Oil Company is known to bo looking'into the possibilities of the district, whilst other large companies or. the other side, are exploring the coal resources If tho lund in question, in tiny way comes] up to tlio reputation it has acquired, it. will shortly form one of the busiest mining districts in the Province at 128,330 ounces against 'JSt.H.ll ounces for the preceding twelve mouths, showing a gain of si>. pel Cillt . The most noticeable increase has how-over been in the case of silver and lead production. In the lust six months 2-.D37.0l61 ounces of silver have been produced as against 2,996,- 201, for Ihe whole of 1903, a gain of 36 per cent.. Iu lead the increase is even greater showing 10,500,000 pounds for tin-half year against 18, 098,283 for tho whole year proceeding, here the iucroase is no less than 82 per cent, or nearly double. Copper 17,513,886 pounds for the half year agaiiiBt 34,359,921 for the proceeding year. Tabulating these results we lind a noticeable increase iu every instance at the following rates: Gold Increase 0 per cent Silver .'.6 Lead 82 Copper 2 While these rates indicate the gain for the first half of the year there is every reason to believe that they will be still larger after thu completion of the year. The product of the gold- copper mines will almost certainly be linger during the second half of the year than during the first, in consequence of the recent merger in the Boundary, which will have the effect of bringing forward a new und heavy producer. In the silver lead department, the gain will even be more noticeable IV. bounty on lead mining has been a wonderful stimulus to that industry but its full elfect will be more noticeable during the second year of its application than during the first. Tho St Kugone mine, alone, is now producing at the rate of 20,000 tons of lead per annum which is two and a half times the whole production of tho Province during 1903, SMOKE Tiik best brand of domestic CIGARS.

C JOB PRINTING OF Last week we teinarkcd on the improved condition of thingi in thin iin** mediate district, ant the outlook for a m!ill futhor improvement iu the near future. Facts and figures just published under the direction of Provincial Mineralogist \V. V. Robertson-, indicate that the Improvement is widespread throughout the Province I and that the mining industry is iu a most healthy condition. There is a steady increase in mineral proAwtion slid it is generally admitted that mining matters aiv on a inure favorable basis than at any lime heretofore. Labour troubles are less frequent, while improved methods of smelting, mining and concentration are render ing it possible to work low grade!" 'ires which could not previously be nandlcd profitably, Tho production of metallo me for ho first six months of 1904 in placed it 607,-1 ;t tons against a total for the whole of 100.1 of l,*JK(i,l7(i, a gain of 8 por cent. The gold prtxluc- -on for tlio lust, six months is figured Those figures have but ono interpretation, and that is that the mining industry of British Columbia is now on a firmer basis than at any time dining its previous history. The boom days aro ow, and' capital is now coining into the country, not on the strength of glowing prospectuses describing imaginative El D< ridos of wealth, but on the strength of figures which cannot Iin, showing what has been done, and what is now doing. Tho days when the dliposablllty of a mine, depended upon the measure of specious loiptacity possessed by the owner, are over, nnd happily so. There is now no further need for tho talented liar in selling gmsl mining property in British Columbia, Oov eminent reports will furnish data which cannot, fail to impress the prospective buyer, and show him j what results can la1 and are obtained from propositions similar to that placed before him. yMIR CODGB, No 82, K.

Lead pipe and sheet lead are now being manufactured at the Trail smelter. Until the present time all tho lead pipe used in Canada has come from abroad, notwithstanding that, the silver-lead mines of British Columbia produce an excess of the raw j material required to meet the total! consumption of manufactured lead in Canada. It is further stated that; arrangements are being made for the establishment of lead corroding works at Montreal. This step is decidedly in the right direction, and is an excellent indication of the improvement that is gradually being brought about iu industrial conditions in this country. Another rather curious anomaly, meanwhile, iu the facj. that all the refined Bilver produced in British Columbia is sent out of the country, only last week 70,000 ozs. having been shipped to China. On the other hand Canadian silver coin is mado from Mexican silver .minted in England. For many years an agitation has been maintained fur the establishment of a Canadian mint, but for certain more or less obvious reasons, the banking interests have opposed the proposal. It is now, however, understood that tho Canadian Gov- eminent have the matter under advisement and arrangements will doubtless bo ere long concluded for the establishment of a mint at Olta- The Yellow Peril. Mr William K. Curtis, an expci- i- need newspapei man and therefore » trained observer, has just returned from the far east. Asked by a reporter in Bollinghain as to what impressed him most during his visit, he made a reply which is of deep significance Ho said the "awakening of China, now going on, struck me mure than anything else " China asleep is a yellow peril; what shall we say of China awake! The first incautious reply to this query would probably be that tho peril would be many times magnified. Deeper consideration, however, will show that tin awakened China will make for tho world's peace. Wo hear all sorts of talk nowadays about ihe great powers standing around China ready to grasp pieces of her directly the breath loaves her body That is the stylo of the sensationalist by profession, the man who lives to mislead, or rather who has to mislead that he may live, In those saffron days it is necessary for some writers to say a long farewell to truth; otherwise there will be no butter for their ASSAYING Gold, Silver, or Lead - Si.00 Copper, - - - - - $1.!>0 Gold-Silver, - - - $1.50 Charges for other metals on ap plication.

'•'<44444 bread The awikening of China means a great deal to the Pacific coast of Can* ada and the United states. As it goes on Canadian trade with the far east must expand; il cannot do so to any appreciable extent unless that awakening comes. As China emerges from tho slumber of centuries the yellow peril, as it is popularly called, must recede. It is not very long since Japan was in as bad a condition as China, yet today she is the ally of Britain. While we d» not look for so rapid a transformation in China as that which tool; place in the laud of tho Cherry Blossom, one may confidently believe that as China assumes the ways of western civilization the talk of yellow peril will become less. The cry has been made that Japun and China will unite to war upon the Caucasians. From time to time we have given opinions of eminent public men of all nations, including Japan, showing that tho later country at least has no secret designs in this direction, Wo may, in fact, look upon the suggestion us principally of Hussian origin, designed to minimize1 the Sympathy which most of tho powers feel for the Mikado's troops iu their conflict with the bear.— Vancouver world. Tho atmospheric pressure upon the surface of an ordinary mun is 32,400 pounds. The ordinary rise and fall of the barometer increases or de- ereases'i this pressure by about a ton ami a quarter. The Gulf Stream is 200 fathoms deep off Cape Florida. Near Cape Hatteras the depth is only half as groat, the stream appearing to have run up hill, with nn nsconi of 10 inches to the mile. A first clean up at the Consolidated Cariboo Hydraulic Company's mine at Bullion has, it is reported, resulted in the recovery of gold v»l- ui-d at $00,000, un increase of about 20 per cent, on last season's aggregate yield. It is possible as Ihe conditions appear lo he more I'.an usually favourable, that two more "clean-ups" may be made ere the season closes, and the total recovery for 1904 should then compare to somewhat, better advantage with the company's past achievements in this regard, before light rain-falls and adverse weather conditions had so Inopportunely restricted operations.

Port Said has 35,000 natives and 12,.r00 Europeans; yet, while only 18 natives died of smallpox in 1900, there were 38 deaths among tho "CvTiites. Vaccination is strictly enforced by law on the natives, During recent excavations near Thebes, Egypt, thorc was uncovered a copper chisel with hardened edge, another instance of the tempering of copper carried on by the metallurgists of old, but a process wholly unknown to us of the present day. The highest worked mines in tho world tire in Colorado, whero mining is carried on at an elevation of from 9,000 to 14,000 fcot. In California mining is not known above 7,500. In Arizona the highest known mine is worked at an elevation of 7,100 feet. Oroytown, Nicaragua, is tho wet- ticst place in tho world, its mean annual rainfall being L'OO inches, with New York at 45 inches, San Francisco at 24.08 and Denver 14.9 inches. Among the dryost is Yuma, Arizona, with but 2.D inches of rainfall the year, Radium occurs in pitch blende and other ladioative minerals in a smaller prscentage than the precentago of gold in sea water. Tt takes 5,000 tons of uranium residues or pitch blende aftor the uranium hus boon extracted to produce a kilo (2.2 lbs.,) of radium ami this product is not nearly the pure material ' It costs $2,000 a ton to refine the uranium residues and at least .'10 days is con- niiieil in the treatment English scientists have concluded that rain has a most clensing effect on the atmosphere, a live days' rainfall in London, England, having carried oil not less than 3,738 tons of solid impurities, including 207 tons of sulphate of ammonia, and 2,000 tons of soot artd suspended matters. A particle of gold weighing one 1-^,500,000 of a grain is readily dis- cernable to the eye. A grain of gold can he beaten out so that it will cover a space of SO square inches. Gold wire so fine can be drawn that it will take 500 feet to weigh one grain. It can bo beaten into leaves of 1-280,000 of an .inch in thickness. With the sand blast tho sand is blown against the article to be cut by a blast of air or steam, which quickly cuts away the unprotected surface, leaving in relief thut part of the surface guardod from tho effect of the sand by patterns of iron or other substances harder than that which it is desired to efface. All diamonds will not shine iu the dark after exposure to sunlight or electric light, but some possess that power. A diamond rubbed with a woolen cloth, or against a hard surface, will at times shine brilliantly. The emission of light is a property belonging to many, if not all, kinds of crystals. A species of white marble found at Hustings on Hudson gives out a tlame-eolored glow when pounded, aud bright Hashes when scratched with steel. In northern New York is found a kind of stone, known locally at "hell-lire rock," which exhibit**, bright sulphur-colored streaks when scratched in the dark. Pieces of rose quartz rubbed together exhibit brilliant Hashes, sometimes bright enough to illuminate the hands of the person ■ holding them . Smoked quartz and other varieties sometimes show a similar phenomenon. There is » travelled humorist at tin.

Tl.p mndstone has been advertised for hundreds of years, and ever since tlio presumed virtues of these mineral products were first exploited, and right down to the present time, Hhe people have been humbugged. Mod- stones are one of the greatest fallacies the world has ever known, and that there is any stone with the remarkable virtues attributed to loadstones is about us COI'tain as we are of the depth of space. The madstonc probably had its origin in quackery, and iu quackery it has remained ever since, and probably will be with us as long us the gullible are on earth. Tho madstonc is always described as a clayey stone, with the qualities of absorption that causes them to adhere to a wet surface until a point of saturation is reached when they will fall away, a quality exhibited by some mineral species, but thut they extract tho poison from a wound is ridiculous.
