In this city ihe campaign was brief but active and very exciting, Mayor Kennedy a candidato for a second term was opposed by ex-Mayor Floming.tho latter being defeated last year by a majority of 4,500.

The Golden- Era Publishing Company, SATURDAY, JAN. 12, 1H!)5. GOLD! GOLD!! GOLD!!! Recent Developments of 11 Specially Promising Uharuotor. The revival of the gold mining industry and the successful beginning of the silver mining industry are amply demonstrated by the results of the year just ended. ' It hns been the privilege of tlie Colonist for the past six or seven years lo draw attentiun to the possibilities of profit-.biy milling the placers of Carl- boj on nu extensive scale, nnd also to urge the prospecting of the ninny promising districts to the East uud North of the famous gold-producing streams iiuving their centre at Barkerville. Dining the past yeur it has been shown that the early minors of these creeks only took from their depths what gold was easily secured, for it wns not possible to introduce machinery or pay for labor at the then juices to work ground ' which to-day is regarded ns rich. Mining 011 the Quesnelle, on the Horsefly and the prospecting on streams in the neighborhood of Barkerville nnd elsewhere have furnished evidence of the grout wealth yet to be taken from those places, and an impetus lias been given to gold milling thut bids fair to produce grand results. But it is not in old Cariboo alone that tho search for gold has recommenced. In almost every other district in the province there has been more or less activity in this direction. Companies have leased ground and river-bed along the Eraser from the finned Hill's Bur, below Yule, to tlie northern bend of the river and then south again to its headwaters, for hydraulic and dredging put poses. A wealthy syndicate of Eastern Americans have united uud constructed a dredging apparatus ut a cost of over 8100,000. whicli is now placed at Lytton. and it is expected will successfully raise the gold from the river bottom. This is 11 branch of mining that has been seldom attempted iu this province, and never before successfully. The Big Bend pincers, north of Bevelstoko, have also received attention, and several drifting efforts have returned good profits. In East Yale and in tlio two Kootonnys a fair amount of gold hns been secured from these placers. At Leech river, and out of several streams flowing into tlie Al borni canal, on Vancouver island, small amounts oi gold have been taken. The increase in placer mining, however, has chiefly been iu Cariboo, and the success so fur attained, the large amount of incoming capital, and tho preparations made for 1W1I5 win rant the prophesy that this yenr will show an output of gold which will certainly reach into the seven figures again. The need of cheaper and more rapid communication with the gold districts has seriously retarded their development. Goods from Ashoroft to Barkerville still cost 8120 per ton. It is promised, however, that this disability will shortly be removed ; anl, railway communication, bringing with it cheap supplies nnd labor, the labor for gold mining in Cariboo and northwards is illimitable. lis development will furnish many thousands with work and south-eastern part of Yale district nenr lhe boundary line. A ten-stamp mill nt Camp McKinney (Rock creek) has given an average of 8300 per day in free gold, with the returns from the concentrates yet to come in. There are extensive ledges nt this point, and ut various other camps eastward to the Coluinliia working tests of tho rock have shown equally good results. Trail Creek, in Southwest Kootenay, possesses n very promising gold field, the returns of rock treated running into the many hundreds per ton. Iu the Big Bend, Eust Kootonay, Lillooet and Cariboo districts aro mines of known riches, which only await practical development to ensure profitable returns. Tho same is true of the gold quart-* deposits iu Alberni district. It is understood that English capital is now being interested to work quartz mines in Cariboo nud East Kootenay, and next year may see great progress in this branch of gold mining.���Colonist. A Reminder for Teachers. The Department of Education has sent the following circular to each teacher of the graded and rural schools of the province: ��� Frequent complaints have been made to this Department in regard to pupils not being dismissed at times named in Article I., Clause 1 of the Rules and Regulations. In Article I., Clause 3, it is stated that " in no ense shall a pupil be detained after school hours for a longer period than half an hour." I am diroc- ted to inform you that this clause is disobeyed when the Teacher permits a pupil to remain on the school premises for n longer period than half nn hour after the hour fixed for closing the school, except in districts where there is a gymnasium, and then children must not be permitted to attend the same unless a teacher remains iu charge of them during the exercises. It is also a violation of the Rules nnd Regulations for the pupils of a school or any division of a school to lie called together for class work or study of i.ny kind prior to the time fixed for the opening of the school. Complaints have also been made as to the extent of home lessons prescribed by some teachers. Article I., Clause 3, of the Rules and Regulations, in which the duties of the teacher in this respect are clearly set forth, must be strictly followed. The minds of pupils are on no account to be forced bv overwork. Yo ir careful attention is also called to Article VI., Clause 5 of the Rules and Regulations; und in addition to yonr maintaining a regular supervision iu the play ground, it is required that boys and girls be not permitted to occupy the same portion of tlie school yard at any time. It has been pointed out to the Department that in several of the schools the subject of book-keeping has not received that attention which its importance demands. When requested by 11 pupil or liy a parent of a pupil the teachei must give instruction in this branch. . Awarded Highest Honors���World'* Pair.

Tlie average whale is from 50 to 05 feet In length and 05 feet iu circumference. The jawbones are 20 to 25 feet long, and 11 tongue has been known to yield almost a ton of oil. An Antarctic Iceberg has been seen that was 2(1 miles wide, 40 miles In length and 400 feet in height; a square township or two could break off from ihis and hardly affect it. There are only one or two places In Toronto and Montreal where foreign postage stamps can lie bought to inclose in letters sent abroad for return postage, and even at these places a price nearly double the lace value of tho stamp is asked. BAYONET POINTS- A new Italian rifle will send a bullet through five inches of solid oak at a distance of 4,000 feet. Aluminum drums are proving most successful in the Prussian military bands. Not only are they lighter than the ordinary kind, but they give out a much fuller und richer sound. Chiiteaudim, where the French maneuvers have just been held,has the distinction of having received as 11 municipality the crass of thu Iji'gion of Honor for its lierolc defense against the Germans in 1S70. Experiments are Iieing conducted nt the armory in Springfield, Mass., in the use of aluminum for the bayonet scabbards for the new rifle*. While tho metal works well in bending and is about lift)* per cent, lighter than the steel scabbard, no satisfactory method has been devised for soldering the edges together. POINTS FOR SCIENTISTS. The 132,850 craters which have lieen discovered on the moon nre supposed to hare been caused by a bombardment of aerolites. Sen bathing causes many diseases of the ear. Cotton should be put in the ear when it is the Intention to submerge the head. All known chemical elements nre represented in sea water. They nre not nl- wnys cnpablo of being detected by chemical analysis. The theory thnt the remnins of animals form the run* material from which petroleum is formed by nature is still held by some prominent scientists. The Medical News says that even sewage water can Ik) converted Into pure drinking water hy sand nitrations in filter basins at the rate of two million gallons per acre per day. STUDYING NATURE. In a month a caterpillar devours six thousand times its own weight in food. Darwin asserted that there is insanity among animals just us there is umong people. No worm or insect Is over found upon the eucalyptus tree or In thn earth pclie- Iratcd by its roots. Solitary confinement Is calculated, doctors slate, to produce midlineholhi, suicidal mania and loss of reason. Nine months of absolutely solitary confinement are almost certain to result In tho mental ruin of the' convict. The reason given why birds do not fall off their perch is Itecnuse they cannot open the foot when tho leg is bent.
