At the big Mount Morgan guld mine in Queensland, Australia, open vat chlorination has proved cheaper than cyanidln'g, California has produced to date gold tothe value of ahout$l,350,000, of which about 70 por cent, was yielded hy ils placer mines. It. is reported that prices of soft coal in the United Slates will this month be advanced from 20 to 85 per cenl. owing to the increased expense of mining, It is reported that the Chicago owners of theOld Dominion mine,near Colville, Wash,, are preparing to resume work on that property which at one time was a dividend payer. The total amountof ore shipped from the Slocan from January 1,1800, lo June 30,1800, was 15,113 tons. From July 1,1800, to Dec, 31,1809, the ship ments were 4,310 tons. From Jan. 1 to March 17, 1000 the shipments were 3,403 tons. Beautiful specimens nf cinnabar, some of them covered with globules of mercury are obtained from the deposils now being opened in Presidio County, Texas, The veins are in sandstone and limestone and vugs in lhe veins often contain large calcite crystals colored bright red wilh the cinnabar. The Dominion Coal Company, of Cape Breton, Nova Scnlia, reports shipments in February of 93,400 Ions of coal. For the Hscal year ended February 28th, the total shipments were 1,671,800 tons, against, 1,155,700 tons in Ihe preceding year; showing an increase of 515,840 tons, or 44.6 per cent, for Ihe year. Many of Ihe Bul le mining operators give their employes a Sunday off mice every month, ll is said that -.nine of ibe mines will in the future, give their men everv Sunday off. ll is held as much ore is hoisted, and the sysiem gives the repair men a chance in miike iheir repairs on Sunday, thus decreasing Ihe liability to accidents.-- "Western Mining World." The output of silver from the Broken Hill mine, in New South Wales, Aus tralia, for the latter half of 1800 was 2,502,163 ounces Hne and of lead 17.831 tons. The corresponding figures for tbe Hrst half of the year were silver 2,218,234 ounces >nd lead 17,823 tons. Them wero during the closing half of the year 95,154 tons of ore treated in the mine reduction works, averaging lead 18.48 units per ton and silver 22.68 ounces. During the year ended September 30,18119, the War Eagle mine, Rossland produced 51,213 tons of ore of a smelter's gross value per ton of $16.28 or a smeller's net value per Ion of $9.92. For the three months ended December 31, 1899, the output wus 22,603 tuns valued at Ihe smelter at $17.71 per ton gross or $11.71 net. The cost of development and extraction during the f ot mer period was $6.29 per ton and during the latter $5.22. The net prolit on the oro therefore was $3.63 per ton for the 12 months' period and $0.40 for the three mon ihs' term. The United Verdo copper mine, Arizona, owned by Senator Clark uf Montana Is reported to have paid divi (lends at the rate of $3,000,000 for several recent years. Its lutal receipts from products for the year 1800 are slated to have been of a value of $0,305,808 and its expenses $2,000,310 leaving a prolit of $3,735,522. Its receipts for the year averaged 13.3 cents per pound fur the mine's output uf 43,390,500 lbs. The deepest shaft in the mine is 700 feet and the longest tunnel 3,000feet. Itsore hody is stated to be 000 feet in width. The total quantity of rock from the Quiucy cupper mine, Lake Superior, stamped during the year 1800 was 650,164 Ions from which was obtained 14.301.182 lbs uf lellned cupper, tbe yield thus being 1.28percent, uf cupper from Ihe rock stamped, The average return was 25.0 lbs of copper pur luu, Fur several years previously the product had been nver 1.60 per cent, of lhe rock stamped, or at least 30 lbs of copper to the ton. The average cost of the copper Was for 1808 8.17 cents per pound and for 1800 10.06 cents. The average receipts for the two years respectively were 12.14 cents and 17.13 cents per pound, So although the average yield was lower and the cost consequently higher, the better price obtained gave a prolit of 6,17 cents per pound for 1890 us compared with 3.07 cents for 1388.

It is'said that, Lord Strathcona will bring his troopers home hy way of th. Mediterranean, and treat them to a visit td the Paris Exposition. That is something the boys did not bargain for before leaving, Theycouuted only on hard Boer knocks, Tlio Melbourne correspondent of tbe London "Times" snys: The Governor of South Australia bus received from Mr, Chamberlain a telegram to the effect that the Hritish war olllce will offer 174 commissions to Australians in the infantry and royal artillery! Lord Minto has received cables from the governor of British Honduras ;iml the Governor of South Australia, extending tu Canada the congratulations of both of these colonies for the splendid gallantry displayed by the Canadian troops in South Africa. They also expressed sympathy at the number of lives lost. The South African horses of the Mounted Infantry are the smallest of any in the Held force. A little larger than them are the Argentine cobs, and then in order the New Zealand horses, about 15J bunds, the Australian, the Dragoons and Hussars' chargers, and last the heavy horses of the Royal Horse Artillery, The services of some gallant British officers in South Africa have received rather too little favorable notice in tht press. Thus the grand defence of Kimberley by thut sturdy man,Colonel Kekewich, has not received the praise it well deserves, too much attention having been paid to the various doings of Mr. Ceeil Rhodes, who was shut up in Kimberley and who, but for Kekewich would very likely have been taken prisoner hy the Boers. In the British House of Commons the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, announced thai the total number of applications for the £80,000,000 war loan hnd been 30, 800, and the total iimmiiit of subsdrip* tioAi £885,600,000; The largest implication had been for £10,000,000. Applicants for £10,000and upwards wnuld get 6 per cent, of tbeir application. Below £10,000 the assignments would vary from 0 percent, to an allotment iu full. In bidding farewell to the fourth contingent of the New Zealand troops, leaving for service in South Africa, Premier Seddou emphasized the determination of Australasia to uphold the Imperial prestige of the country. He snid they had 400,000 mule adults, mostly drilled, prepared to defend the colonies and, if emergencies arose, tu send enough men to South Afi ica to release the Imperial troops to deal with any power during tu meddle with the settlement. British losses in South Africa up to March 11 were 15,077. Of these, 2118 were killed in action, 8747 were wounded, 1028 died of disc ise j and 3181 were missing, The proportion of killed nH to wounded was as 20 to 100, Official reports from Pretoria state that the Boer losses, prior to the relief of Ladysmith and Kimberley, were 1531. of which 677 were killed, and 2128 wounded. Tho proportion here of killed to wounded is as 32 to 100.

I ILL -I Ll II D ■■.-J.J Much indignation was aroused at Camp McKinney last week by the appearance in tbe Greenwood "Miner" of a paragraph, referring to that camp, headed "a deserted village," and Thk Advanck has lieen requested to direct attention tolhe fact that this reflection nn Oamp McKinney is entirely nnwai- ranted. The "Miner." however, as became a journal having regard tn the good reputation it. had earned for honest intention aud reliability, in its latest issue acknowledged that, it had lieen mis informed and published Information setting forth the true position at McKinney, which is a favorable one. Under these circinii stances there Is, therefore, now no need for THB ADVANCB lo do more than Join the "Miner" in ils good wishes for the continued prosperity uf Oamp McKinney. Tbe Greenwood "Times" last Wed nesday published what was intended to be a smart or severe criticism uf the special correspondent for tbe Boundary Creek district to the "News* Adverlisei". wbo resides in Midway. Thk Advance is not concerned about the correspondent —he can take care of himself, if nt any lime he think it worth while to reply to the abuse with which, failing fact s to controvert bis statements, the "Times" is in tbe habit of assailing bim. We aredetei mined, though, tbat tbe mendacity of the "Times" in asserting tbat Midway "isalinost deserted because uf bis con* nectiun therewith," shall not pass unchallenged. Tbe simple facts are tbat to-day tbe population of Midway is more than double what it was when tbe "News-Advertiser's" correspondent came to reside in tbe town, and the nunilier of huildings has increased more than ninety per cenl. We do not desire to expose the neak points of our neighbors, hut we would remind our Greenwood readers that tbe repeated publication of mis-statements In the "Times" about Midway can only lead tu reprisals, which ut least will do Greenwood no good and may possibly do it harm, seeing that it has some decidedly weak places. It has nut been made public what sort of a bargain was nude between Hon. Smith Curtis, Provincial Minister of Mines, and certain prominent citizens of Greenwood Inst week, in connection with the continued agitation tu seenro lho removal of the Mining Recorder's office trom Midway to Greenwood, but the promise of the Minister, if lie made one, has a decided appearance of political jobbery—for vote catching purposes and nothing else. A minister desirous of acting justly to the Kettle River Mining Division as a whole would not commit himself to so serious a step without first ascertaining what would best suit the convenience of the mining community, or at any rate giving miners and prospectors, whose interests and convenience should he his first consideration, an opportunity of making known their wishes in the matter. With so much country to the west of Midway now heing prospected, this taking in the Main Kettle Kiver and its numerous tributaries, including the West Fork, and as well Rock Creek and on up to Camp McKinney, ton distance of from 90 to 40 miles west and north-west of Midway, and with so many location records now being made from this country, any milliliter not possessed hy an all-consuming desire In secure votes would, in common fairness, look closely iuto the matter ao as to acquaint himself with the needs of the district. Itis evident to all who know tbe posilion well that the greed of Greenwood property owners rather than the convenience of • majority of lhe miners and prospectors is at. the bottom of this determination todo an injustice to Midway in particular aod the district in general. The move can only he made at greater eventual expense In the province, There is, too, another aspect—will the Governiuenl re-convey lo the Midway Company tbe block of land conveyed on the understanding that the Government oflice was to be located al Midway or will it retain the land, holding virtually hy breach of faith ? Three carloads of Winnipeg ore, recently shipped gave returns of $18. $22. and $24. per ton respectively. Altogether thus far nine cars have heen shipped from this property.—Phoenix "Pioneer." The manager of the Sailor mine, Camp McKinney, wires in reply to the syndicate's secretary that good values are shown hy the assays just made. The figures are 1*57.50, $21.21, H18.n0 and $15.96. per ton.-Toronto "World." Tbe Rossland "Record" says: A proposal has been made by the Hon. G. E. Foster to the Rathmullen Company to sell the Maple Leaf claim, in Snmmiteauip, to a subsidiary company for development. This will he acted on at a meeting on April 25. The Rathmullen would then develop the Ben Hur claim in the same-district. Similkameen. Mr. F. H. Latimer, C. E., returned last week from 20-Mile Creek, in the Similkameen district where he had been surveying tbe claims in the Nickle Plate group. J list before his departure from there, the engine house and blacksmith ahopa belonging to the company caught fire by some means, and were totally destroyed, with a a considerable quantity of tools and machinery; but the company will at once put an an increased numher of men and rebuild. Mr. Latimer speaks highly of the prospects nf that locality, and alao of the rich indications in the vicinity of Olalla, the new town near Keremeos, and predicts lively times there in the near future.—"Inland Sentinel." Carlboo-McKinney nine. At a meeting of the directors of the Cariboo McKinney Mining Company, of Camp McKinney, held at the company's office on Saturday March 21, after careful consideration it was resolved that it was desirable to proceed to increase the stamps from 20 co 40, and it was consequently resolved that money enough should be reserved to accomplish this purpose, and a dividend of 1 per cent was declared for that quarter ending April 80, 1900. The new stamps will lie ordered within ten days, anil should be running within a couple of months. The action of the directors is based on the manager's report that a three years' supply of ore is blocked out and that to do justice to tbe property the capacity of tbe mill should ho doubled.—Toronto "World." Will He do It. If Mr. F. Carter-Cotton will take the liberty in good part, we would suggest to him to drop his opposition to the party lines movement, fall in with bis natural associates, nnd go into immediate training as a candidate for the Commons in the approaching Federal elections. He is a clever man, and it so determined can make trouble for others in the Provincial contest; hut fnr the present at least there is no useful place for him in the local field, while at Ottawa there Is scope for his abilities and opportunity for doing his Province good service. Shnuld Sir Charles Tupper carry the country, it is more than probable that British Columbia would he given representation in the next Cabinet, and we do tfr.t know uny one who would stand between him and a port folio, unless It might be Sir Hibhert Tupper. We ld>g the gelitlenian-will give thli *-ug- llentiuii ais liesUuiianlci'.iliui,.—.,.-x_,_,i, "M.ner." Why. The following is taken from a letter on the Similkameen District written for the "Engineering and Mining Journal," New York, by C. A. Bramble; At Keremeos a large amount of work has been done on tbe various properties throughout the camp, The ore here is for tbe most part copper pyritas and sulphides in diorite and quartz. On the Opulence, natiye copper occurs in very considerable quantities. Assays from this property are as high as 02 per cent, copper from picked specimens, the average heing about 20 per cent, copper, with very light gold and silver values. On the Dolphin a fine ore body has been opened up hy a tunnel 80 ft. in length, the same body heing shown up, both below and above the tunnel, hy open cuts. On the Roadside, a shaft nnw down 20 ft. has disclosed a lot of sulphide ore. On the Golindagroup a crosscut tunnel i» now in 130 ft. and tbe indications are that the main lead on this property will soon be cut. Work is ahout lo lie resumed on the Copper King, which has a shaft down already some 90 ft. On the Elkhorn group considerable surface work has been done and a considerable amount of copper sulphide and pyrrhotite disclosed. On tbe Bullion Mountain group bodies of high grade copper sulphide have been o|iened, and the management has com menced an 800 ft. cross-cut tunnel, which will tap the principal oredepoait at a depth of ahout 70 ft., besides opening at least two nther leads of leas size. The Searchlight tunnel, now in 90 ft., is being driven farther, the indications bring excellent. At present the Black Brothers k Woodcraft are huilding a new trail into Upper Keremeos Valley, and ns soon as it is completed, supplies will he taken in, and they will commence tbe permanent development of their Gem Mountain group of claims. On tbe Dividend group a body of lion carrying copper has just been cross cut for a distance of 80ft., without finding the opposite wall from the one where work was started. Sinking will now he commenced on thia showing, and it is presumed will be carried on permanently. Taken altogether the mineral showings throughout the Keremeos Valley Camp, and especially In the vicinity of Olalla Creek,where the largest amount of development work of one kind and another has been done, are in all respects exceptional. The long tunnel on the Bullion Mountain group is being driven and should show up some heavy bodies of mineral. Arrangements am now being mode to bring machinery into the ramp, and when installed the work will go forward in a min:!) more rapid manner than is possible by hand work only.

Whilst there be was interviewed by members of the Board of Trade. It is reported lhat, in response to representations made to him, he promised that the bridge over tbe West Fork of Kettle River should be completed shortly and tbat the work of making a road thence to Beaverton should be proceeded with without delay, He is also credited with promising that the Mining Recorder's office should he removed from Midway to Oreenwood during tbe current month. It Is stated that Mr. Oliver, of Car- berry, Manitoba, wbo for a lime has been looking around with a view tn making his home in or near Midway, has purchased Mr. Luni WarmothV preemption on Boundary Greek near tbe town. The deal was made through Mr. Jas. Sutherland. Mr. Oliver intends to shortly bring In his family and will probably arrange for them to live in Midway. Mr. 8.

The Oreenwood "Times" last Thurs day published the statement that the plant of Mcpherson Bros, saw milt at Boundary Falls "is in operation and an 80-boise power boiler is furnishing motive power,with plenty of lumber lo work on." This is not true, hut per haps it is as near as the "Times" may he expected to get to the truth. A 90 horse power trailer has heen built in, nm. the remainder of the plant is nol yet in place. A JO-sUll stable, hunk house and an office are heing erected, and other preparations are being made lo get things in working order during Ihe current month.

About midnight of Friday, 30th uit. a number of largu stones, were thrown at the front door and windows of the house owned by Mr. John Douglas, situate near the Lancashire House One stone was hurled through the wire Mind and glass tearing down the inside window blind and roller. It it understood that the identity of the perpetrators it tbis dastardly trick has heen ascertained, but that criminal prosecution has been deferred so aa to give time for an apology and pay' ment of the cost of repairing the damage, and so avoiding proceedings, It is interesting to note, in this connec tion, that there is at present a prisoner in tbe local lock-up "doing" 30 days for window breading at Cascade. mat Mr. L. A. tlamlliou, uaim ' *>■■■* missioner of the C. P. R.. has resigned and upon bis resignation being ac* cepted he will leave Manitolia to reside elsewhere. Mr. Hamilton is one of the most popular men in the Canadian west and his departure will Iw greatly regretted. Tbe operators and agents on the western division of the C. P. R. Fort William to Vancouver, and branches, have served notice uponMr.W.Whyte, the western general manager, that they will present a new schedule of increase in salaries. The rate of pay on the Canadian Pacific while entirely satisfactory to the men nn the eastern division is deemed insufficient by the western men, whose living expenses are much greater.—Nelson "Miner." From the "Tribune" it is learned that Mr. William H. Sb-iw, late of the Hall Mines smeller, has left Nelsnn for Grand Forks to assume the management of the C. P. R. telegraph office there. ——• British Empire League. Lieut.-Col. George T. Denison of Toronto, president, was in the chaii at the annual meeting of the British Empire League, held at Ottawa last month. He made a stirring speech in moving tbe adoption of the annual report. From the report of the meeting published in the Toronto "World" it is learned that among the speakers were Sir Chaa. Tupper, Sir Mackenzie Bowell, Sir Sandford Fleming, Sir Louis Davies, Hon. Wm. Muloch, Hon. K. R. Dobell, Principal Grant and others. The motions adopted were resolutions advocating state-owned cables, a Canadian Naval Reserve, a Canadian mint and Imperial decimal coinage. President Denison was re-elected. Tbe following were elected vice-presidents : Ontario— Sir Oliver Mowat, Sir Mackenxie Bowell, Alex. McNeill, M. P. Quebec-Lord Strathcona, J. Israel Tarte, Arch. McGoun. New Brunswick-Senator Wood, R.C. Wei- don. Nova Scotia —Lieutenant-Governor Daly, Archbishop O'Brien. Prince Edward Island—Ex-Lieutenant- Governor Howlan. Manitoba—Lieutenant - Governor Patterson. North West Territories—Ex-Lieutenant-Governor Mcintosh. British Columbia- Mr. H. Bostock, M. P., Mr. J. T. Small, was elected hon. treasurer and Mr. G. B. Evans, hon. secretary. Mr. Wm, Burns, B. A., Inspector of Schools, for District No. 3, in which Midway is situate, paid a visit of in spection to tbe local public school on Thursday, Wth ulto. This is Mr. Burns' third visit during the two years Mr. A. A. McPhail haa been in charge of the school. The flrst took place shortly after Mr. McPhail commenced his duties aa teacher; the second was paid ahout a year ago and on that occasion the inspector reported that the school had considerably improved during the year. Last week the inspector stated that "the school had greatly improved in every respect," adding that not only did the pupils know much more of the subjects taught them, but they were much sharper than he had found them on the occasion of his previous visits. lt is hut fair to the teacher to mention that the school would prohahly have made even a hetter showing and tbe attendance would have been larger but for the fact that the recent vaccination of a number of tbe children had interfered with loth tbe attendance and progress of the scholars. There are now 61 on tbe roll, but only 31 were present at tbe examination This is by no means an average attendance, under ordinary conditions. However. as compared with Greenwood, whieh fur so large a pi ice had a miserably Kmr attendance at tbe time ot ils spection, Midway made an excellent. showing, both in point of numbers ami efficiency. Por the latter much praise is due to Mr. McPhail, whose patient, painstaking efforts bave brought it about. TO LET, the cottage near the Schoo. House occupied by Mr. D. G. Munro. Rent $7 per month.

C, Robertson, engineer in charge for the same company, bave been in Nelaon for several days arranging to have some barges constructed. These bilges will l-e used on the Kettle Kiver, from Midway to Curlew, iu order to shorten tbe haul to Republic. This route is contemplated on account of the soft condition of the roads betw een Grand Forks and Curlew. Several steamboat men have been employed lo survey the Ketlle River and ascertain the feasibility of the plan, to examine the channel and waterway and to locate the most desirable place for landings. If this scheme lie found practicable, it will divert to Republic In-ight which is now going in from Grand Porks and send it lo Midway. This would have a serious effect upon Grand Porks trade. It Is not likely, however, that the C. P. K. will make a very strong effort to prevent i he carrying out of the proposed scheme, on account of the recent attacks made on tlieC. P.
