I am sure those who were not nt the Curling Club's Second Annual Bull missed a treat, such an one that does not often occur and come too late fer us to give a full account this week. Dr. Taylor wns called to Blaeberry ou Thursday evening to attend nn accident which occurred there. We understand that it was occasioned by the fulling of it tree, Mr. Jepbson of Calgury is in town surveying town lots for the Government. Mr. Hol.ten of the Ames Holden Co. is ulso i.i town und will remain until the commencement of uext week. Wc neglected in our last to mention tbe fire which occurred lust week at Mr. Hamilton's house, and will congratulate him that, it was soon extinguished. We extend to him our sympathy for his loss. We sre glud to state that Cuptr Parson is progressing favourably from thc effects of his operation, nnd that his family have moved into their new house. Curling Notes. This tale he did unfold to one Who's "dead game" for a lark, She 'poar'd to bi.n a shining light, While plotting iu tbe dark. He used to board at "same hotel" And linger round the town. He could not see-at his expense ��� The laughter up uud dowu. He bore with him a gentle look, A look of sweet repose. He wasa little dotty too. As everybody knows. One day a very balmy day, He came to see his lass, And as results were cooling too, I could not let it pass. He stood outside the door that day, Seine time in happy thought, How he could place on her dear hand. The ting that he hud brought. She saw him in the street below, And rushed with open arms, Not to him but to the portico Bud gave no moro alarms. She hud a pail of H S O, Suspended o'er his head. She poured it then, aud so it fell, And love's fond dream was dead. Church Service.. NOTICE.

A.lveriiai..-11-uit r..tua mails kiiuu.i ouappli- catior 'o The SaM-B En' P-bll.ki-s Cirri, SATURDAY, JAN. 25, 1890. Since the days ol Lord Di.fferin the 'boundless resources of B.C.,'- has heen a by-word among us, and now it is being realized us very nearly ex proising what we havo here. B.C. is now become the centre of interest in the mining world und is-since the South African panic���to England what Cripple Creek is to the United States. Everyone is talking about it and rends! with interest anything published concerning it. A cablegram from London a few days brick suys : ''The question of the development of mines iu B.C. is attracting much attention iu the'financial circlet in the city ami it is probable several mining experts will visit that Province shortly. If tlie reports made by them of the results of their investigations shnll prove favorable, a large influx of British capital may be expected." For the last 12 or 15 years British Columbia has bean known to possess vast deposits'of mineral wealth and still those have until the present day been totally undeveloped, how can we explain thi*.? In other countries where valuable properties are discovered, they, with very few exceptions have been immediately placed upon the market, and a milling industry ut once sprung up iu that neighborhood. At present British Columbia, excluding coul and gold has produced nothing and yet without doubt she contains . more mineral wealth thnti any other country of her size. Of course in many instances tlie best deposits have been discovered by poor prospectors who had neither money nor influence, ���still wariting au exorbitant price for their claims and therefore could not place then, upon th,< market. When ���once an excitement is reigning nothing will bring tho prospectors to reason or to the market value of his property and he invariably wants the price of a well developed mine for a few surface prospects, und always a large amount of cash down, which of course undeveloped property will not warrant. This is one of thoevilsB.C, hns luul to contend with in the development of her wealth, and there is that she in the utmost corner of tho globe and from markets distant. These are now becoming things of the past however..and some of the districts, with the best, transportation Similar to other instances the discovery of gold iu pincers lad to the discovery of the now world-renowned Paris, (or more commonly termed Trend well) ledge. On the 27th ot January, 1882, prospectors from June-iii crossed Ou-.tiiie.Kix Channel io the Douglas Island shore nnd found "pay dirt" upon the bench, uud .he following March commenced washing upon the ground now known as the Ready Bullion, and in the lirst trial run :i clean-up at the end ol three days yielded twenty-seven ounces ol gold dnst. This created quiie a little ex- citment, and led to the discovery of another similar deposit of auriferous dirt uud deco.nposed quartz, and iu washing the gravel from the bod-rook upon this discovery tbe great Tread- well ledgo was exposed. One Peter Eriissard, more commonly known us '���French Pete," located ibe quartz ledj-e, naming it the Paris. Notwithstanding Peter's claim lo the ground aud the subsequent transfer of tbe same to other parlies, placer miners, by right might, from 1882 to 1884 held j the surface ground and washed out amounts variously estimated lit from -J.'iO.OOO 'to $1C0,CC0. Nothing wus done by the original locator iu the way oE developing lhe mine, ns be dee.ued the ore of too low grade to l.o worked at a profit, The attention of ono John Treudwell. a far-seeing miner, was culled to the property, and he made a quiet examination of the ledge and tho facilities for working and opening it up, tested .he ore und opened negotiations for its purchase, "French Pete," deeming the mine oi no practical value, let it go it is stated, for $400. Itumediiitly utter the transfer, Mr. Treudwell ���rganized tlm Alaska Mill and Mining Company, commenced driving a cross cut prospect tunnel, and erected a live stai."p mill to test by mill-run tha value of the ores as the tunnel wus being driven across the ledge. When the cross cut reached the opposite wall it showed up a ledge 400 feet iu width of nearly solid quartz; ubd ihe little live stump mill demonstrated Hint the average value of the ore wus sufficient to make the mine pay if worked on a largo and systematic bciiIo, and in 1883 the company built a wharf and erected a 120-stainp mill, and iu W.'-O uddud tho present chlorinution works to the plant, to whicli additions inni many improvements have been added since. In 1888 they doubled the capacity of .he mill, making it a plant of 240 stamps, In 1889 the transfer of the entire property wus made to the Alaska Treudwell Gold Mining Company. While Mr. Treadwell was developing the Paris, he acquired for [The works uud mine aro lighted : throughout with electricity, ami rail* I roads connect nil the different branches, The sunups, -^d in number, weigh each HiiO pounds, stroke seven inches I with 90 drops i-i thu minute, ami the 'mill bus a capacity ot about 700 tons ot ore per day, ami the cliloi'iuu- i tion works a capacity of eighteen tons of Sulphurets daily. The average j grade ot tbe ore is about $2.75 per I ton. carrying about 2 per cunt of sulphurets, and the expenses of miu- ! ing and reduction about SI.35 per ton. The mill is located about (ICO feet hack from iho shore ot the channel, with a railway connecting tbo wharf and mill, I�� tbe past the on was quarried mu. in great pits, dropping down ore chutes into curs uud conveyed through ti working tunnel by steam engine and,dumped into bins in die top nt the mill, and thence passing in regular routine order down into the crushers and into ihe batteries, but | Liter on, as deeper workings were re- quired, a working shaft wus sunk 250 f ict below tlte level of the working tunnel, mul immense hoisting works put in to raisa the ore to this level.

The adoption of the Dominion land act form in recording mining claims as suggested would not meud the matter as tbe question of occupation would still come in, A case in poiut may be cited. Iu this neighborhood a homestead was takeu up, but the duties neglected; another came along and restaked it, intending to make it a townsite, but he also ignored the conditions, for, instead of residing upon the land (personal residence Iieing required,) lie gulivants round Goldteu enjoying the gaieties thereof. The land lies wide open now to him who is not afraid, unless indeed "jumping has got to stop." If Mr. Aylmer would instead of attempting to further patch tbe nineral act of 1891 with ita intricate amendments, endeavor to get it thrown out doors, he would be doing good service lo his country. And if lie could further replace the act bv an intelligent, co le, the people of east Kootenay would be given an opportunity of selling what legislative stuff he was made of, iu case of used, Yours truly Al.l.AN GltANflElt.
