Johnson and Mr. A. E. Watts The farewell concert hold on Tuesday evening In the Auditorium was pronounced to be the best evening's entertainment that has ever been given in Cranbroak. En'husiasm marked the proceedings throughout. Tiie citizens attended In large numbers, many of thom not being a'Jle to And a seat in the hall. The volunteers attended in a bedy md as one remarked, "We appreciate the many kindnesses that are being Bhowered upon us by the people. It will give ns something to th'iu about whrn we are away." The me.'ting was arranged on ehort jiotl:e, word having been received that the volunteers would be departing next day and the concert and dr nee was arranged in their honor as a far.jwell and to with them all Godspeed and a safe return. The ladies, God bleas them, worked hard (or its success, ably backed up by several gentlemen who kindly gave their services to decorate the hall with Union Jacks and bunting. In one corner of the hall there was prepared a refreshment stand where all could purchnse ice cr am and other light repasts. During thc evening and dancing it was well patronized. The concert began at 9 o'clock with Mr. A. B. Macdonald presiding. The band first opened with tn overture and then a promenade march. Mr. Ryan was then called upon to make an address but owing to a sore throat he was unable to comply. He sincerely regretted he could not address the audience but through Bhe ctiainuan expressed his well- wishes to the hoys. Mr. Geo. Stevenson in his usual excellent style sang that old favorite "The Two Grenadiers," being much applauded. Mr. A, Fairbairn gave a Scotch dince. As he was dressed ln hilts the dance was very appropriate and met with much applause and an encore. Mrs. W. Lane-Holmes gave an excellent rendering ot various patriotic selections and finished with God Save the King, with the aud'ence standing. The dancing dl Mr. A. DeWolf brought down the bouse and a loud continuous applause brought him on the platform a;aln for an encore. Mr. John F. Smith then began to rlay on his ta .pipes and marched around the hall, the volunteers Unci1 up and mnrched behind him two abreast: the atdlence enthused with the idra also got In line, the ladies choosing their own partners, until the hall was completely encircled with the promenade. The player and tho marchers were loudly cheered by the onlo * ers and ths volunteers wore very much commented on with their smart appearance and the excellent soldierly way they conducted themselves on their marching. Rein ated applause wont throuh the hall as they turned tho corners o tho door. At the close of this, ono of the most interesting moments of the whole evening, the volunteers lined up in front of the stage nnd came to attention. The chairman thon announced that the ladies ol tho W. 0. T. IJ. would hnve pleasure in making to tach of the mon a small presentation. The ladies then lined up and their appointed representative, Mrs. A. A. Johnson delivered an address to the men as follows: "To tbe Cranbrook Volunteers: "On behalf ef the W. 0. T.

U. gave to each o( the volunteers a collapsible drinking cup, bearing the inscription "Cranbrook W. C. T. U." This was a most practical gift as the necessity of drinking while on the inarch or, after a dusty day would be appreciated to the full from a clean cup. Mrs. W. A. Nesbit sang "The Soldiers of the King," the boys and audience joining in the chorus. Mr. J, M. Coutts gave as hia solo "The Veteran's Song." Mr. A. E. Watts waB called upon for a speech. In his address, he said: "On behalf of the people of Cran- I brook, I have the distinguished honor, which I highly appreciate, o( saying good-bye and Godspeed to the king's volunteer soldiers, the detend- ers of wbat our forefathers purchased with blood and treasure untold during the past centures—and that is thc honor o( our empire, British justice and freedom, and to uphold the Christian doctrine of "do unto others as ye would have them do unto you."

Declaration of London London, Aug. 22.—The Gazette announces the decision of the Hritisb Government to put into force the Declaration of London a* though it bad been ratified. This decision was tak- en in view of the fact that the Brit- Is'i, French and Russian navies are acting jointly, nnd France and Russia had given notice of their intention to act in accordance with the provisions of the Declaration so far as is practical during the present hostilities. The Declaration of London was discussed at a conference of maritime rowers held in London in 1908-09. Among other things it provided for a modificat:on of the law of contraband and rights of seizure and search. It was agreed upon hy the delegates, but has not been ratified by all thc countries concerned.

Forts at Namur The fortifications of Namur and Liege formed tho finest examples of the work of the famous Belgian military engineer, General Henri Alexis Brialmont, wIiobo reputation was world-wide.

The Cl volunteer* from Cranhrook, who left yesterday for Valvartler, tjuebec, are all well knit, ' healthy young fellows, and the loss of them will be folt severely fur quite ft while in athletic and other circles o." the City, It would not be possible for any group of men to have received a bet ter or more enthusiastic send-off than the Gl volunteers received aL th: hands of Cranhrook citizens yesterday, It wasrOjiil in character, and we venture to say if royalty itself had bam in the place of th. volun teers it could not have received a more loyal or more enthusiastic farewell. In the first place the children from the public schools after thc closing hour marched to the Government square headed by the boy scouts i itn'fjrm. The scouts were then llnet up on each side df Baker street with their staffs in their hands, and tli children formed In column with twi union jacks unfurled r.ni held aloft nnd with numerous smaller tin k distributed among the little ones the square presented a moat pleasing appearance. The procession then marched down Baker street toward the station headed by the city band. The boy scouts looked well in their khaki iniforms and the volunteers were received with cheers and loud hurrahs as they passed by the large concourse of onlookers who crowded th? lines of route, The procession was more of the nature of a triumphal march and to those not initiat 'd into the circumstance could well have imagined it was the return of some con ineror who had achieved Fome tremendous victory, On arriving at thc station and during the interval before the departure of the special train patriotic music was discoursed by thc band. In th.' meantime the volunteers had lined up on the platform and were literally besieged by their friends to have a last handshake and to bid them farewell and Godspeed. The occasion, though brightened by the smart cos- times of the ladies ant tbe bright countenances of th'; children wbo r'ere waving their little flags aloft t n.l having great jollification, was a BC?ne that called for much reflection and deep thought, ties: wore sisters parting from brothers and mothers from sons, parting for we know not how long, yet barely a tear was shed and certainly no display of grief was to hh seen.

CRANBROOK, B.C August 29, 1914. No. 35. Just as soon as the souvenirs we had prepared tu commemorate the leaving of the volunteers were in circulation we had tailed to our attention the fact that there were several names that had been miesid which should have been inserted. Especial ly is this so in reference to Mr. T. Oaven, the honorable local member to the provincial house. We ate extremely sorry theae names were overlooked. How it came about we dm t '.now other than it is hard tp remember everyone, and it sometimes seems as if the on. most especially concerned is just the one forgotten. No one iii the district is there who has the welfare of the boys so much at heart as "loni," which makes the omission doubly bad, anl we take thiB opportunity of calling this to the attention of those who have already obtained one of these copies. • • * • The effect of the reports purporting to have come from tbe front and characterized as official, arriving in the shape of bulletins or th-oigh the daily press, depicting the supposed reverses and retreats of the allied troops and in cases throwing well into the limelight the apparent victories of the German army, have only been adding impetus to the already wholehearted enthusiasm which has been seen in and around the city of late.

I Radium Bearing Minerals Notes by Wyatt Malcolm Much interest lias been aroused in recant years over thc discovery of the element radium. It is found associated with uranium, but in practically infinitesimal quantities, only a few grains per ton. It is separated from the ore as a chemical compound and placed upen the market as si.cb. The difficulty of recovering the radium from the ore and the superior technical skill required in the operation make the coBt of separation extremely high, and necessitate the fabulous prices paid. It is much in demand by scientific institutes, Institutions for investigations in radium-therapy, hospitals and practising physicians, As an aid to the prospector the following notes on the occurrence of uranium ores, from which the supply of radium is o'ota'n d, have been compiled. These are followed by a list of occurrences In Ccnada and suggestions as to localities that might be prospected. URAN]UM MINERALS. A great variety ol uranium minerals have been recognized, but the moBt of them are of rare occurrence. Those that occur chiefly in commercial quantities are pitchblende or uraninite, carnotite, nnd autunite. Pitchblende carries a much higher percentage of uranium than either of the other two, and is a uranate of of uranyl, lead, usually thorium (or zirconium) and, often, the metals of the lanthanum and yttrium groups; It also contains nitrogen in varying amounts up to 2.6 per cent. It is brittle, has a conchoidal or shell- like fracture, is of a f.u .-metallic to gr?aBy, pitch-like or dull lustre, is opaque, and in colour is greyish, greenish, brownish, and velvet blue' . Its hardness is 5.5; thnt is, it is nearly as hard as 'feldspar. Thc specific gravity of crystals, which are rare, Is 9 to 9.7. In the massive state its specific gravity is (1.4; that is, it is between two and three times as heavy as a piece o' quartz, limestone, or granite of equal size. The greasy or pitch-like lustre nnd thfl high specific gravity are striking features of this mineral. Carnotit* is a minora! vm- in' somewhat in composition and con talning vanadium nnd uranium, with either or both lime nnd potash. It la a canary-yellow, and powdery waiy-looklng mineral. "With a hand Ions it can in plnces be seen to have a somewhat radial but iat.hr Indefinite crysti'l form. Very rarely it ta'fcs a solid form, which cuts Hlc paraffin nnd has nn unctuous feel, tn thc powdery form the co'or irft * be somewhat dlsguis d by Iron oxide or calcium vanadate." ♦ Autunite is a jhm hate of uranium and calcium. It is trniulucpnt, bright yellow in colo", nud occurs In small plates or tabular crystals or in mloaoeOUfl a* gregntrs. Chalcolite or torbernitc is a hydrous phosphate of uranium and copper. It occurs in square tabular crystals, thin or thioV; it. is fourd also in foliated and micaceous aggregates, It haa a pearlv to fub'idam- nntinn lustre, pnd in transparent to translucent, it |4 emora'd grow end grans green, some anecl mens being apple or Blakin g"Wn. Hardness 2 to 2.5; specific gravity. 3-4 to 9,0, TESTS. An electroscope is useful in making tests for radium, but, it cannot always be carried about conveniently, Thn sclntilloHcouf. Is a much more convenient instrument. It should, however, bo carefully teatml with a m'niral known to bo radioactive be fore taking it to the field; its usefulness may be lost by careless handl- An electroscope iB a metal box, through an opening in the top of which a metal strip is suspended by means of a bit of sulphur or amber so tbat it is insulated from the box. Resting against the metal strip and attached to it by its upper end is a strip of gold leaf. When the metal strip and gold leaf are charged with electricity the latter diverges from Llie former at an an^le. The divergence can be viewed through an open- in? in the side of the to;. The electroscope discharges slowly under or- d'nary conditions and ths gold leaf returns to its original position. The rate of discbarge is hastened by bringing a radium-bearing mineral near tbe instrument. It is a delicate instrument nnd requires some J ill in rann'pulation. The scintiUoscope cr.nsists dt a closed brass cylinder, provided at oni end with a lens end coated interiorly with zin: sulphide. A iadium- bearing mineral brought close to this instrument producjs scint'U tions in the zinc sulphide that can be viewed th'O'tph the lens in a dark room. This instrument can be had for a dollar or two from Oallenkamp Co., 19-21 Sun Street, Finstury Square, London, E. C, England. lf uranium is present in quantities likely to be commercial tt can (>e detected by the radio-activity of Its decomposition products by laying the suspected specimen upon a plate holder containing a sensitive photographic plate and leaving it fro.n twelve hours to one week. If uranium if present in any considerable quantity the plate will be light-struck. It is welt to note, however, that minerals containing thorium produce the same effect upon a photographic plate. The presence of carnotite Ib imli cated by a yellow color brought out in a specimen when it is heated, as by laying it on the top of a stove. All the above tests require more or less skill and experience in their application and it is always advisable for the inexperienced person to submit a suspected specimn to an expert for examination. CONCLUSIONS. An exam nit on nf thc descriptions of the occurrences of uranium or ra- dium-conlu'nin.; ores shows that they an nearly all a iBOCl ited wl h igneous rocks of nn acid character such as granites, pegmatite dykes, snd quartz prophyry dykes. They are in' ini enclosed within the body of pegmatite dykes or In veins cutting granite, or schists or slates intruded by granite or porphyry d)*.0i, and pro' ably have their origin In solu tions given off by these igneous roc.vs at or about the time df intrusion. These minerals have a gr»at variety of mineral assoc.ations. ln Colorado they are associated with pyrite and smalt quantities of galena and zinc blende, in Jo.chmsttul with eilver, cobalt, and nickel ores, in Portugal with tin and tungsten minerals, and in Cornwall thsy are found in the tin und copper m.n ng district. The carnotite deposits of Utah and Colorado constitute an exception to the usual mode of occurrence. Here the uranium-vanadium mineral carnotite occurs with other vani'dlum minerals as an Impregnation in Band- stone beds and in cavities md crac' s in the sandstone anl in fossi's. The great variety of mineral associations of uranium makes it advisable that the prospector shou'.d not neglect a careful search for ita presence In all known mineral deposits, especially those that arc genetically related to intrusions .of granite and closaly allied rockB. Localities where traces of tin and tungsten minerals are f »und should receive attention. The silver-coba't-nickel deposits of Cobalt resemble very closely those of JoacMmBthil, but the occurrence of pitchblende has not been reported. •• Pegmatite dyk»s shou'd be examined. These are particularly abundant in the Pre-Cambrian area of eastern Ontario and western Quebec. These dykes are composed ch'eflv of quartz and feldspar and are ususllv very coarse gra f THE PROSPECTOR, CRANBROOK, BRITISH COLUMBIA .' ■■■■■■■■■ 1 llll 11IIII-II-H41'H' 111»1111111 lltl IUM' Professional Carbs -anb- Cobge Notices E H"M H H+i I *■*■*■*■*■*■ **■*■'*"*■ 141 l'l' 11 111' IIII11 *■*■* I ?

Dr. da Th'i ara sold al French Chain of Fortresses The French Plan of campaign, which has been adhered to ever since the Franco-Prussian war, forty years ago, contemplates defensive tactics, with tbe idea of compelling the German armies to shatter thomsolveB against tbo tremendous chains of intrenched camps and fortresses which guard the 200 miles of the frontier I between Switzerland and Belgium. "Marching to Paris" bhould not prove anything like so easy a task as it did in 1870-71. The artificial defences are located bo skilfully in conjunction with the natural obstacles that thera ie almost no scoi'C for the development of an elaborate Btratfcgy of attack. The several loopholes in the chains .of worka are all intended as so many traps, and should the Germans attempt to move through them they would inevitably expose themselves to attacks upon their Hanks. Tt has been stated recently in the French Senate, and in ttie columns of French newspapers thnt the defences of the northeastern frontier have hem al 1owi.h1 to deteriorate since tbey were originally planned in 1875. Criticisms have been made, based upon the alleged authority of high officers of the army and the ministry of war, that thc Works an they stand are out ot date and equipped with insufficient artillery. But military observers have commented that it was more than strange that sucb snares were permitted to pass without den al by the present heads of the war department. In other words, there had been a shrewd suspicion thit the Frcn h may have been glad to allow their defences to be depreciated as tending to render their prospective fo*s over-confident, and so much more easy to reckon with. ADVANCE THROUGH BELGIUM. The probability, however, is that the Germans will find th3 task ct invading France beromes almost insuperable after the first few miles have been traversed. In order to reducj many of the French fortresses regular siege operations will have to be undertaken, and In the meantime the French field armies must be reckoned with. It iB the idea of the French General Staff, of course, thut their Russian allies will be Knocking at Germany's eastern gates long hefore the passage of thc Vosges Mountains bas been forced hy the invaders. Even should the Germans succeed in overriding the neutrality of Belgium's territory—and to do this they must first defeat the Belgian army, which Is now in process of mobilization, and numbers several hundred thousand men on a war footing— they will still be fronted hy a chain of French frontier fortresses, which may be expected to furn'sh a base for tbe resistance of the French army in the field In that quarter. These fortresses are inter-dependent, and would have to be reduced or isolated by the invaders before they *n*.re passed— even supposing that the Germans succeed in driving back the French field army. From all these considerations it may be seen that the task the Germans are confronting is no easy one. They are in the position of troops operating in advance of their bases, with the problem of subsisting in hostile territory; and they are faced by an enormous field army, probably almost, if not quite, as numerous as themselves, as well as by line after line of permanent fortifications. Obviously, if the French material of war is up to the mark, and if they Possess a couple of general officers of more thttn mediocre strategic ability, the repelling of the German attack should not prove extrorinarily difficult. HAS TRAP WELL LAID. To grasp the significance of the situation it is first necessary to undertake the geographic peculiarities of the theatre of war. As has been said, the Franco German frontier stretches for about 200 miles In an irregular line, jabbing a triangular point between the lost province of Alsace and Lorraine, from the point where the French, Swiss and German frontiers join near Montbellard to the Luxemburg frontier. The meeting of the French and Swiss fron tiers wtth the German frontier ts al so signalled by the meeting at right angles of th» Jura Mountains with the Vosges range. The Vosges ridge, the Franco-German frontier from the Swiss boundary to a point about midway between Strassburg and Nancy, pres.nted a rugged series of tree- clad slopes and narrow posses to any Invader. Behind the Vosges, the line of the French permanent defence follows the valley of the Moselle, and is continued toward tha Belgian frontier along the valley of the Mouse, These defences are Vn -iwn as the "Mouse line" and the "Momlta line." Between them is the famous gap called hy tho French strategists tho troune d'Epinai, In which Franco hopes to trap tho invaders, lf tho elaborate l>lans of tho general staff do not miscarry. The exact nature, n* the advance has fortifications between Vordun- Toul and Eplnal Helfort and Epinal- Belfort ls unknown to all except tho officers of the French army, end prdbr ably the Secret Intelligence Depart ment of tho German Stall, But occasionally auioibOolie parties ot Americans driving through little-Ire- quenttd roads iu the heart of th* vosgeti have tome uj-on liugfl tuned cliffs overhanging some pass or eminence, aud the hasty challenge o: a Ben- tinel has sent them to the right- auout. Strictly |speaking, Verdun and ToUi are both entrenched camps rather than fortresses, with extensive perimeters and far-Aung out-wor*s. The wonts between them consist of a series of forts d'arret. Frum 'loul to Epinnl in tho valley of thj upper Aloseile the French strategists left the gap previously referred to, as the trouee d'Epinai, in order that the Germans, turned back from.the elaborate fortifications which edgo tbe gap, may swirl through it, lured by lack of resistance, and suddtnly find themselves enveloped on all sides in a cul-de-sac, men and cannon. Eplnal nnd Beltort, the key-point* of the chain of works on the other side uf the gap, are entrenched camps like Verdun nnd TOUl, and the works between them are forts d'arret of the same type as constitute the "Mouse Line.1' It was the garrison Ol Helfort who distinguished themselves by their heroic resistance in the war of 1870-71. Beyond Belfort there is another continuation of this first line of defence, comprising heavy works in the neighborhood of Montbellard and along the summit of the Lomont range, which terminate at the flanks Ol the Jura Mountains on the Swiss frontier. The Frenc!i Hank toward Switzerland is also protected, how- over, hy works at Pontarlier and elsewhere,. Even in the unlikely event of the Germans succeeding in forcing their way through Switzerland, the French troops would be able to iface them, confident in the support of permanent fortifications upon which they might retire at need. ln rear of th)i "Lines of the Meuse and the Moselle" lies a secondary defence in the shape of two large defensive areas, In which, under certain circumstances, the main French armies will assemble preparatory to offensive operations, an.l to which they may return if defeated. Those areas form ideal grounds for thc actual field mobilization of armies, as well as effective barriers to the German invasion. The eastern area, lying behind the Epinal-Uelfort works, iB in tht. form of a triangle, the points of which are the fortresses of LangreB, on the plateau of that name Dejon, and Besancon. FOR INVADERS, Eighty or ninety miles from LangreB begins the chain of thfjc fortresses— Rheims, Laon, and La Fere— which constitute the defences of t second area, ami which, in themselves, form an effective defence against invasion through Luxemburg and Belgium, almost overlapping, some distance in their rear, the works between Verdun and Toul. Thc gap between these two systems of fortifications is another trap left in tentionally by the French for the purpose of drawing the enemy into an unfavorable situation where they could be pounded on two or tbree sides at once. Even the Belgium frontier has been defended, the tbree first-class for tresses of Lille, Valenciennes, and Maubeuge forming a chain of resistance which would block, at teast temporarily, the advance of any army, no matter how large, necessitating the detachment of considerable bodies of. troops to Ujckado and isolate them. A third gap, about a hundred miles wide, has been left between Maubeuge and the entrenched camp of Verdun, the Idea, according to the opinions of German army officers, being for reasons known on!, to the French, directly to tempt the Germans to attack France through the Duchy of Luxemburg—which ib precisely what the Germans are doing, according to dispatches. In this gap lied Longwy, which ts fortified, as well as several other garrison towns and small frontier fortifications, but no works of character calculated to retard an invasion Vor any period of time. It will be Interesting to observe tho plan of defence the Fr1 nth have work od out for such an attach, which they obviously must have anticipat td. Some distance to the rear of the trouee d'Epinai lie Beveral barrier forts thut'aro supposed to be heavily- armed—at Papny and around Neuf- chateau — which are designed to chei*. "the Hood of invasion" through tlio gap. should lt seem to he flowing too swiftly for tho comfort of the French field army. Then, beside all the works specified h.re It must he remembered that tho entire northern section of France, from the English Channel to the Swiss mountains is covered by nn elaborate system of minor fortifications, while every eminence, gully, plain nnd rlvor hot lorn Ib mapped otlt and its posUlhUi tics of 'Mens' noted down foi' Uu benefit of commanders of troops. French artillery officers, for Instance, will tako their pieces Into action knowing precisely in advance the bent places to Bcek cover and the ranges of all points in their front.

Whether it is still simply watching an.l waiting, whether there have ban preliminary skirmishes or encounters ol suy kind, whether the German aeroplanes and dirigibles, which were to work auch havoc, hnve left their hangars is known only, so far aa the British people are concerned, to the Lords of the Admiralty. But the whole world knows that whether the British Navy is active or merely watchful, the German Navy has had no more effect on the war than if it did not exist. It has, at any rate for the time being, been reduced to a negligible quantity. Within a few miles of its anchorage British trans- j-orts have safely conveyed 100,000 troops or more from England to France. The cruisers Ot England and her allies in different parts of the world have captured German nitvch- ant vessels to the number of 203, with a tonnage of 1,000,000. In addition, British cruisers have kept the trade routes of the world open; not one British vessel has been captured or seriously menaced, Passengers are crossing and re-crnsaing the Atlantic and foodstuffs are being daily Bhipped from foreign to English ports. The price of food has not appreciably rlstn and business has not been seriously dislocated. Finally, the rate of insurance has been reduced to three guineas, a condition which would not for a moment be conceivable if England were not Btill Mistress of the Seas.

We associate so much of our ideas of travel and en.oymcnt with railways that it is natural to imagine that they must have bcen the ilrst to popularize it, says Arthur Henry Anderson in The London Chronicle. If so, however, wc should only get back to mid-Victorian days, for the South-Eastern line which passes the base of the Hill, was opened in 1849, and that part of the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway line was enly completed in 1867. But early novels show that our eighteenth century ancestors, thought as much of al fresco parties j as we do, and lt Ib unlikely that so glorious a view point as Box Hill would be missed. There is, in lact, direct evidence available, an;l for much longer than one might imagine Boi Hill has been the res0rt of thoBe I on pleasure bent. It is not every such delightful spot that gets immortalized in a novel., True, Bath and Weymouth, Lyme Regis and Brighton, figure as scenes of gaiety In the early novels, but they were well known. Eox Hill figures in but one of them, tnongh in that lt bulks largely. It Is in Jane Austen's "Emma." This takes us back a hundred years for visits to Box Hill to be a customary form df entertainment. It is not, it must be ccufesBed, a .ery happy precedent, since the party was a melancholy failure. Of all the long record of misunderstandings, so skilfully worked out, in which Emma Woodhouse found herself in volvcd, thc party to Box Hill proved no small part.
