He therefore notifies thorn tbat they must apply to their mine superintendent on or before Saturday, November 17th, and give ln their names whloh will be placed upon the list and work furnished them as soon as possible. He also notifies them tbat all who joined the union and signed the chock-oft order since September nth, are released from Ihe union, their signatures lo said orders cancelled and will •rat be accepted by the company. It is optional with them, he further states, whether they rejoin the union aod whether they sign the new check-off or der but if they sign the new check-oft they will be expected to sign the following form: "To tho Crow's Nest aPss Coal Co.— By the agreement entered into between you and the II.

WH-W-WtW-tHMtWH STUDY SCHOOL SYSTEMS ADVANCE GUARD OF MOSELY'S TEACHERS IN NEW YORK CASTE IN ENGLAND HARDEST ..PROBLEM TO TACKLE. New York, Nov. 16.—The advance guard of the army of SOO English school teachers who are coming to study the educational system of the United States, has arrived. Less than a dozen teachers formal the first contingent, but from now until spring nearly every liner arriving from England wlll bring some ot the teachers whom Alfred Mosely Is sending at his own expense to Learn what America hoe to offer ln solution of the complex educational problems confronting his country. The men of the party are quartered at the dormitory building ot Columbia university, The advance guard of the teaching army concurred In the opinion that the problem In solving which they expect to obtain tbe greatest nld from America ls tbe bridging of the chasm between the English primary and secondary schools. Class prejudices and lhe traditions of the old schools present an obstacle to the coordination of the branches of the educational system of England that has seemed well nigh insurmountable. The problem Is social rather than scholastic. It is a period of great transition from the old system of private schools to public education, and against thla there It a strong undercurrent of class prejudice. That several members of the cabinet bave their children attending the. aoboola of the common people la a little more than English tradition oan swallow all at one gulp. Illustrating what the public school teacher haa to contend with, the spokesman of the English teachers told of the class feeling exhibited where a public secondary school, equivalent to our high sohool, was established. The publio school boys challenged the Ixiys of the private school in the borough at football. The private school fellows replied that tt was beneath them to play with boys who didn't pay their tuition. The professors In tbe public school were graduates ot tbe same universities as the teachers ln the private school, but caste prevented their association. Slowly these barriers are being broken down, and today the poor boy of London has at least a free education open to him from kindergarten to university. But he has to earn lt by -■winning a scholarship, and outside- London there is a wide breach between the primary and second**" schools. . The visiting teachers were much Interested ln learning the status of the teacher In America, "Is teaching yet recognized as one of the* learned professions?" they asked. "Do you have any learned professions outside law, medicine and theology?" In England, they said, pedagogy has not yet received the recognition which they believe ls due to U as a profession. There ls the same cry In England as ln America for better pay for the teacher. There, as here, the teachers boast the noblest and most useful profession and the poorest pay qt any. As a clerk in the service ot London a man wlll be advanced automatically to $5000 a year at the age when In tbe public school he cannot possibly receive under the present system more than 1*000 or $2500. The salaries New York pays Its teachers were a source of surprise to the visitors until they were told something of the cost of living. The teacher entering the service In tbe elementary schools In London as a graduate of the normal training school receives $480 a year, which Is Increased at the rate of $35 a year until $720 Is reached. Then there Is what the teachers call "the crossing of the bar." The Inspector decides whether they are worthy of further promotion; If eo, they are advanced $35 a year to $960 a year, the maximum in the elementary schools. The London teachers have a Strang union and* through this they are demanding that the "crossing of the bar" be eliminated. The association of secondary school teachers also Is agitating for higher pay. The maximum is now $1200 a year, In striking contrast to New York's rule against won)«n teachers marrying, are the conditions In London, brought about only by the scarcity of teachers. There ths metropolitan district no longer has the pick ot pedagogical talent. The suburbs attract the teachers, and London Is glad to keep every teacher it IMS, R)»-rl*d or lot, Tb this end It pays half salary for two months to provide tor the emergency of maternity, and half of the women teachers of London, the visiting educators say, are wives, and a large proportion are mothers. The opinion was expressed that New York, ln barring.married women, loses its best Instructors. Many English educators, |t was said, are convinced that the. married teacher Ib happier, more sympathetic with children and a far more successful teacher. Another point which will be observed closely wlll be the effect of the American eating custom on the pupils. The English worklngman has his dinner at noon and the public schools take two hours off on tbat aooount The children, unless .they have a distance to walk, came at 2 o'clock, logy after their hearty meal. LIKES BEING PRESIDENT ROOSEVRLT'S FRAKK btwpbment to . A STATESMAN ItHLlEVED HE WOULD NOT- R-EFUBB L\YANJMOUS RENOMiINATION London, Nov.-16—T, C. Crawford, once ono of the foremost American "corrospon- dents abroad, contributes to the Standard a brilliant and Interesting oharacter sketch and Interview with president Itooscveli. Mr. Crawford, now a stipcet-nful l-uslnc**.-. mnn of London, hnd not seen Mr. Roosevelt In ten years. He mot the president ln his library Just nfter his return to Washington from Oyster Bay. Mr. Crawford says that to a statesman who was complimenting; him on hLs "fat condition," Mr. Roosevelt replied: "1 suppose 1 ought to pull myself to* gether, assume a weary air and tay my strength Is being taxed to the utmost with the cures and duties of my high position, tout the fact is I like the Job. I enjoy heihg president of the United States," "This nuturalness, absence of humbug and directness represent-) the new movement In American politics where puny lines are becoming dally of less nnd less Importance," writes Mr. Crawford. "1 was able to give, In answer to his enquiry, something of the character of the European view of his administration. It mueli Impressed him that the petly criticisms and small trash which are 'brought out day by day ngnlnsi; every administration rare, ly reaches Europe.." Mr. Crawford writes that in hia next message to congress the president win present practical legislation- to correct the evils of gigantic and rapidly swelling fortunes, "He will recommend," snys tho writer, "such an inheritance tax ns will prevent such accumulations aa notably lu the case uf Marshall Field's trust, which In 50 years wlll total Ave billion dollars. John D. Rockefeller may leave a similar trust. An inheritance tax is not new In other countries and the president haa based his recommendations on systems already established In France apd Urea*. prltain." Mr. Crawford says the president has not given much attention to the negro question but* that his greatest ambition is the completion of tlie ranamn canal. ■Mr. Crawford says with great posltlvc- ness that he believes after an Intimate discussion of the subject with the president that Mr. Roosevelt will not. refuse a ununimous nomination If ji should cpme to him from the republican naifunu.1 convention, FLOOD SWEPT VALLEYS NO IMPROVEMENT OF CONDITIONS IN WASHINGTON WMl-TY PEOPLE MAROONEp ON A.N ISLANJ) NOT RiESCl>ED YET Portland, Nov. UK-News from Ine-flood swept valleys of Washington today shows no Improvement of conditions, telegraphic communication Is Interrupted and one important point, Kelso, cap be communicated with only by telephone'; The Cowlitc river is still carrying houses, -barns, and togs and other drift down the flood. Bridges have been whslied out and others are In peril. The crest of tho flood, however, seems to ha\*e reached Kelso. Between Kelso and Castle Rook hundreds or persons have been rendered homeless uml many families are In want, ns people saved but few of tlielr,effects and but little provisions, ' The report received here (nst night that the forty who were marooped op an Island at the Junction of the Cowlitz and Columbia rivers had been- rescued by the steamer Burton sent from Portfnnd for the purpose, proves untrue. Thc Burton waB unable to reach the Island on account of the powerful rush of water arid thc presence of logs and drift. The sienmer Sarah Dixon hag gone to the scene and will attempt the rescue. Owing to the fact that tho Cowlitz has about rencbed the limit of the flood, It Is believed that they wll) be saved. ML'ST PAY COAI. CO.'S P-™JE Montreal. Nov.

IB.—After many months of Indecision and delay, (lie latter caused principally by Uie hope entertained at the Vatican that the French officials would at last come to terms with the ohureh authorities regarding the situation of the church In France and the practical enforcement of tie law of separation, Pius X has Anally derided to continue In his policy of resistance and to make the French church absolutely Independent from the slates and supported entirely by Its own resources. In order to do this the vatlcan administration will have to meet an outlay of several mi..Ions every year, but the pope feels confident that the resources necessary to support the French church will be easily found through the generosity ot Catholic* In other parts of the world. Practically the plan would place the church of France on the same footing as the churoh In America, without any dependence or support from the state and absolutely sustained by the generosity of Its own adherents. A special encyclical letter to the French bishops and ..clergy is to bo issued by the pope as soon as the new law of separation goes inlo "(feet before the middle of next month. In lt the pope will aBsuro the French bishops and priests that whatever support the state denies them, owing to tho new law, will be provided direct by the Vatican, so chat the Catholics (il France may continue to enjoy the practice of their religion and the ministrations of their priests and bishops. The celebration of the mass and other church ceremonies will continue regardless of the disposal which Is to be made by the French officials of the buildings ait present used for public worship. In those parishes snd diocese ln which the government wlll Bee fit to close the churches the parish priests and bishops wlll rent other buildings adapted, at least for the moment, to assemble the faithful therein and lo continue their ministration Just the same as if nothing had happened. The religious associations already formed in disobedience lo the orders of the pope by schismatic priests or by .socialistic municipal councils nre not to be recognized by the bishops under any circumstances and no advantage ls to be taken of their offer of turning uver the properties of whloh they have un- canontcally acquired the title for the use of the congregations. The law of separation Is to be absolutely ignored and tno work of building up the church ln France must be begun anew. All those priests who are entitled to pensions nnd allowances from Ihe government under tbe new law will be permitted to accept them as long as the French government consents lo pay. Besides, at the order of the Vatican authorities, ln every French diocese has now been established a special fund for the. support of the clergy and the bishops which ls to be made up from the contributions received from the French Catholics ln each district. What further amount wlll be needed In each of tho dioceses it will be supplied direct by the vatlcan authorities, who can dispose of large funds from the society for the propagation of the faith; from the patrimony of the religious or- dors, especially of those who have been enabled to carry away from Prance before their expulsion large amounts of money, snd from the contributions received for the purpose from Catholics all over the world. New places of worship will be established whenever needed all over France and, If necessary, episcopal residences, presbyteries and somlnarles. The tremendous outlay of money that will be required for this purpose will be met especially through thc generosity of the Josult order, which, nt. the lime the new general was elected a few weeks ago. placed at the pope's disposal all of Its resources for the reorganization of the church of France. Several French bishops have been peremptorily asked by the Vatican to forward to Home their resignation because of their failure to comply strictly with the orders of tho popo ln the present crisis of the church In France. Their successors wlll probably ho appointed at thc Consistory of December and even before then severe measures will be adopted against those few French priests who disobeyed the orders of the Holy See and established lay associations ln their parlBhcs against the wishes of the pope. Plus X, ns a strict disciplinarian, Is determined to sec that every one of the bishops and priests In France Is per- fectly submissive to the authorities af the church, because lt Is considered Impossible to proceed with the reorgani zation of the church in France without the full co-operation of all the bishops and clergy.

A general discussion on the freight rate question then ensued nnd the chairman, speaking at some length, pointed out that there was plenty of evidence at the present time that Nelson was making a pronounced step forward. The hulkllng trade was brisk, new arrivals settling here were frequent, calling for the building of more reisdences, new industries were coming In und Ihe business outlook far the Queen City of the Kootenays hnd never been equal to what It was at the present time. Taking these conditions Into consideration it was a matter of vital importance, ir Nelson Is to become more than ever a city of homes, that the cost of living should be kept down, and this could ho best accomplished hy the rearrangement of freight rates upon a lower and more equitable basis than at present. Mr. Starkey pointed out very earnestly that only by united effort could reforms be obtained nnd he asked for the loyal support of the mem- ■1-i-r.s of the association during the coming yt-ar no that. miK.h good for Uh- cvinmuully might be accomplished by the association and the Intter's usefulness fully demonstrated. After several speakers had assured th*' president of their entire willingness to cordially assist him ln every way, the meeting adjourned. PICKPOCKETS' COLLEGE REVELATIONS IN TRIAL YORK'S PACMN" OF NEW- EXPERT "DIP" GAVE JUDGE ILLUSTRATION OF HIS SKILL. New York, Nov. lti.—At the trial or Harry Stein, New York's "Fagin," who has taught over 150 boys to become expert pickpockets, some Interesting evidence was adduced, Ou raiding Stein's house the polico found suits of clothes on lay figures with concealed bells on which the pupils were first tried. If they could get a watch out of the pockets of the garments without sounding the bells they were promoted to the next step, trying to get one Horn Stein and his wife and when they could do this satisfactorily they were put on the street. Stein was convicted largely on tho testimony of Hyman Grossman. fourteen ycears old, a former Postal messenger boy of extraordinary brightness, who stood at the head of the senior class In Stein's college of crooks as the most clever "dip" ln the olty regardless of age. He waa tn a class by himself the police say, Tou see, judge," aald Hyman, addressing justice Zeller, "I got tired of that job carrying messages for the Postal. Its no clncb wording for four dollars a week when I could make as much an hour. I was the best of the whole lot of the boss "dips" and the only one he would come on the Btreet with himself. We worked Fourteenth street amongst the shoppers. He'd frame up a case and ask some man or woman where a street was pretending to be deaf like and I'd sneak a watch or pocket book while he was working thc cover/ In court young Grossman gave the learned justice an illustration of how to pick pockets and how to hide a watch or pnrse after getting It. His dexterity would have made the Wizard of the north envious. Grossman was handed over to the Gerry society and Stein Is now rusticating In the state penitentiary which will be his address for a year.

The company has now got beyond the experimental stage In the production of thts raw metal. It costs very much lean to product) it thai* nickel, as Uie costly refining process ls dispensed with. It was the result of some-experiments made by P. H. Clergue and his chemist, Mr. SJostcdt, aiming at the production of nickel steel for naval armor plate, that turned the attention of the Canadian Copper company to the possibilities arising from nickel alloys. What greatly facilitated the experiment was that the melting point of nickel and iron are practically tho same, while that of copper Is very little higher. The new metal Is said to be of equal ductile strength with nickel and to possesses all Its other essential qualities, but lt is not yet claimed that it will serve the purpose of nickel steel used for armor plate.

But then it will not make much*difference " The correspondent, . describing the aged writer, says of him: "He foresaw the union of the German states before Palmerston would acknowledge the possibility of such an amalgamation. He forsees the union of the United States and Canada today, while many dispute Its probability.

"England has already withdrawn her military from the dominion. And not long ago the Canadian minister of Justice said In effect tbat Canada would be safe under the Monroe doctrine. Suppose -England were to go to war with soma other nation and that nation decided to attack Canada; could England defend It against the enemy? Would the United States defend It simply as a neighborly act., and having done so withdraw and hand It over to England again?' "And do yott consider the form of government of the United States the best for Canada?" "I cannot say I consider your present form of government the best fop yourselves. You are trying to run a government without statesmen. Your president's cabinet is made up of men selected at large, not men who ara trained In the affairs they undertake to supervise. You have no trained statesmen. "So soon as a man has served hla few years as a leader in the presidency you set him aside, and, however weighty might be his Influence, it is not made use of.

FALSIFYING THE RECORDS la discussing the Columbia A Western land deals, the Ill-informed section of the conservative press, to which reference was made in these columns the other day, not only unloads upon Its readors a mass of misinformation, but even retorts to the length of falsifying the records. We are told, by way of explanation of th.* notorious east Kootenay ooal and oil lands scandal, that: "The only mismanagement of the affaira of.these two blocks whloh led to Lny scandal was during the time Mr. *W. C. Wells was chief commissioner of lands and works Mt. Well's uafticklug In these lots 4593-4594 was oo disgraceful that the then premier, Hon. James Dunsmulr, cancelled the granta conveying the landa to the C. A W. rnllway under the terms of his charter and* relegating the whole quesUon, as he said himself, to the «o,*-rn- ment or succeeding governments for settlement. "It may have been ins misfortune of Mr. Eberts Uiat he was attorney general under,the government when Mr, Walls did all his funny work, hut there ls nothing In the proceedings of th» strict Investigation which followed to show that Mr. Eberts was In any woy Implicated In the unsavory work of Mr. Wells The bungling of Mr. Wells had lost tho province the confldence of the great corporations that w.ere spending their millions In opening up British Columbia and their status in respect to Ihe charters which had been granted them and the obligations undertaken by them had to be accurately and clearly defined, else there would ' have been a halt called on all rnllway construction. Even so, lt was deferred," What does the sworn testimony tali™ before tho select parliamentary committee to enquire Into llie matter say In tills regard? We quote from the cvi- •dence of ex-premiers Dunsmuir and Prior. It will be re-called that Dunsmulr had resigned the premiership st the time this enquiry wss held, April and May, 1993, and that Prior was then premier. In the course of his evidence, Prior said he had eipnessed surprise that land so rich In mineral resources should have been thus lightly disposed of. He had told his colleagues that these lands were valuable coal and oil areas and ss Boon as he looked Into the matter he had come to the conclusion Uiat the government had no right to make the grant- that contiguous lands not being exhausted there was no possibility of Justification. It was on this ground mainly that he had voted for cancellation, and he had since seen nothing to convince him that error was .done. The government's action In cancelling the grants had been taken In face of strenuous and persistent opposition from attorney general Eberts. He bad himself thought the grants exceeded the statutory direction. The fact of Taylor and Eberts being partners had struck him and his colleagues some works ON MINING and MECHANICS we have added to our stock of technical and scientific BOOKS Edward'* tixuii.lnat.on (Jue.il tons ana Answer* for Engineers anil Firemen titutlonai-y and Murine 93.M Wiiiinun'B Marine Knffin'-i'rs* Uuide.. -4.251 Locomotive Cutechlitm.

It was Eberts who had explained the rol ns-a tern ont bill to caucus— wry different from the bill as produced—and he presumed It was the at- tomey-geneial who had drawn that bill, aB lt was bis place to. The bill, as introduced, had never been submitted to caucus nor lo the executive. II' the bill had passed, he did not see how the government t'ould have refused to deliver over blocks 4503 and 45U4 lo the railway company, since refusal would havs been In defiance of tbe direction of the legislature. It was Oliver who had .pointed out the opportunity of the company under the bill us drawn, and he had been impressed. Ex-premier Dunsmuir in his evidence, which it will be remembeied created quite a sensation at the Ume, said it was Eberts who hud pleaded for the transfer irom the 11. 0. Southern to the Columbia &. Western, urging * that as both were subsidiary companies of the C. P. It., and the lands had already been earned, it would make no difference to the province, lt had been agreed tbat Wells should tako the grants to Montreal and see if better terms could be secured—the particularly desired feature being the Spence's Bridge line. It was understood the patents should be brought back if better terms could not be got. At the same Ume he (.Dunsmulr) bad Celt that the grants should he delivered in any event, and he would nave stood by his opinion but for Wells' report as to the Taylor proposition, ufter which he Insisted upon the grants being held even at the expense of loss of power by the government. Eberts was quite well aware of the intention of Wells when be left with the grants for Montreal, but hail expressed no dissent. He bad said to EberLs and Brown that he understood both of ihem were in the d'.-al, and he would allow the transaction 10 go no further. He had never personally approved of granting these noncontiguous lands. We have quoted thus extensively from the evidence of Dunsmuir and Prior to show conclusively tlw falsify of the statements that ex-attorney general Eberts was the victim of Wells' rescality and that nothing in the investigation tended to show thai Eberts was implicated In the unsavory deal To those conversant with lhe fuels in this case any refutation of these false statements is, of course, quite unnecessary, but tbe public memory is notoriously short and 11 may be thai some of thc brazen lalae- hoods now being advanced lo whitewash ibe ex-allorney-generat will be accepted in good faith. The evidence taken at this inwestlga- tionllon proved conclusively thai Ehcrts strenuously supported the proposed turning over to the C. P. R. of the blocks of coal and oil lands ln East Kootenay in lieu of lands in Yale district, contiguous to the Columbia & Western railway, and that it was the refusal of WeilB to turn over tbe patents, which had heen Issued, thut stopped the transaction and threw the fat Into the flre that led to the investigation being held. Without at this writing seeking to Justify Wells' course throughout this affair, It can be fairly advanced that the moment he realised all was nol on the square he refused to go further with the transaction and upon bis report to the then premier, DunBtnulr, the grants were cancelled. EDITORIAL NOTES. It Is sattsfactoryto know that the visit of the deputy minister of labor, Mr. Mackenzie King, to England ln connection with the frauds that have been perpetrated by British emigration agents, has been successful.

C. ln tho house of commons, tho president of the board of trade, Mr. Lloyd George secured the adoption of a new provision to the Merchants Shipping bill imposing a penalty of J250 or a term of Imprisonment, for the offence of Inducing people to emigrate from tho United Kingdom to Canada under false pretenses. This evil was brought to tho attention of the dominion government b> tho trades unions and Mr. King's visit to England for the purpose of securing legislation that wonhl put a stop to it was the outcome. Tills is another feather in the cap of the young deputy minister of labor, whose work has amply Jusillieil his appointment to the office created by the Laurler administration in the interests of labor. The Toronto Olohe's Ottawa correspondent thus summarizes the order made by the Railway Commission in regard to the complaint of the Kaslo board of trade against discriminator} rates: -'The order makes a general reduction in freight charges to ports of call of ths C. P. R. and Oreat Northern steamers on lakes Kootenay and Slocan, and also to C. P. R. points ln the Boundary district, ou traffic originating east of the Crow's Nest and west of Kamloops Briefly put, it means lower rates from Toronto .Montreal and other eastern shipping centres to all rail and steamboat points in thc Kootenay and Yale, outside of Nelson and Rossland." Dr Pagan clearly explained the situation with regard to the proposed provincial sanatorium at the public meeting last evening, and.we feel sure his mission to Nelson will not prove fruitless. Nelson is always ready to assist generously In a good cause and If the local branch of the . anti-tuberculosis society take hold of the matter vigorously the hospital fund wlll be appreciably enriched by the contributions of residents of this city. lt is estimated Uiat the recent strike of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal company's employees occasioned a total loss of $500,000, apart from the loss occasioned to other Industries Inconvenienced by shortage of fuel supply.

"Oa the Iron Clad tho tunn*l Is about 40 feet running with the vein which Is about four feet wide, with ore which would average over 20 per cent of zinc." Kettle River Mining District—The presence of a very small proportion of line ln certain of the high grade ore bodies In the vicinity of Greenwood has already been mentioned I nthe Introduction, but tha occurrence of this metal In such quantity and with such associations may, from an economic standpoint, be altogether disregarded. In addition, however, the attention of the writer was directed to a deposit of zinc blende on tha Silver Reef mineral claim about 8 miles north of Oresnwood. This location It sltuatod on tlie aide of a hill about (00 feet above Wallace creek, and is readied by a trail about three-quarters -of a mile in length' Btarting from the Wallace ranch. It is owned jointly by J. W. Nelson, Thomas 'Edwards und William George of Greenwood. The ore occurs in a rather lll-dehnod breuciated vein, at the contact between a basic igneous rock aud a quartzite, dipping to th,e southwest at an angle of SO degrees. Ziuc blende is the most abundant mineral present, but a little chalcopyrlte and pyrlte also occur, with quartz as the cementing material. Besides a small test pit which shows no ore, a shaft has heen sunk on the Incline o( the vein to a depth of about 36 foet. The development work so far accomplished has not shown the existence of any ore body whleh could be regarded as of commercial Importance. Tlte following ls an analysis by Mr. M. P. Connor, of tho Geological survey department, of a specimen of what may be considered tho best quality of oro that was secured. The specimen showed zinc blende with a little chalcopyrlte and a considerable .quantity of quartz and rocky matter: Lead, trace; copper, 1.20 por cent; zinc, 38.75 per cent; iron, 5.02 per cent; insoluble, 27.10 per cent; gold, traces; silver, 0.25 oz. per ton. Revelstoke Mining Divisionr-Zino Is reported to occur in considerable quantities ln some of the claims already located In'the "Big Bend" (Columbia river) mineral district. This district ia easily reached during the season of navigation, a steamer mailing frequent trips up the Columbia river as far as Death Rapids, about 45 miles above Revelstoke. A trail also runs from Ravol- stoko along the east bank of tlte rivor and from this main trail branch trails have been made following up the valleys of most of the principal creeks which enter tlio Columbia river from tbe east. Ono of these deposits of zinc-blende has been located on Downle creek (10 miles above Revelstoke) about 3 miles from the mouth. No claim has yet been staked and no details ln regard to Its size or mode of occurrence aro available. Zinc is also said lo be an important constituent of the silver-lead ore ot the Silver Belle claim, one of the Shield group on Keystono mountain. These claims aro situated to the north of Five Mile creek, about 40 miles from Revelstoke. An analysis of a specimen sent to Mr. A. C. Garde of the Payne mine in September, 1903, by the chemist Mr. George Robbins gave tho following results: Lead, 20.50 per cent; zinc, 36.00 per cent; iron, 16.30 per cent; silver, 14.4 oz. per ton.

WESTERN COAL INDUSTRY VHIWS OP E. C. DBNIS OP THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY INOALCUr^AiBIiB QUANTITIES OF COAL AiS YET UNDEVELOPED Ottawa, Nov. IfJ-If the development of llie coal Industry Ib to be taken as Indicative of tho prosperity and development of a region, then western Canuda is making almote unprecedented strides. T, C, Dun la of the geological survey, has juat returned from a visit through the principal western coul fields of the main-land and lie reports that everywhere coal mlu- nlg Is going ahead at a tremendous rate. It Ib only a few years since the only coal mines worthy of the name operating in Alberta wero the I.ctlibridge and the Can- more minus. These liave expanded into largo entorprifies ami many olher similar ventures have since achieved success. There are now in the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta over 20 well established and well equipped collieries, besides countless smaller mines wblch are worked spasmodically to supply local wants. Figures speak louder than words. The records kept by lhe mines section of the goologicnl survey show that In 1887 the coal production of the Northwest territories was for that year 74,152 tons, valued ut $157,577. In 1905 the figures for Alberta and Saskatchewan had attained l.OOO.WO tons, representing a value of over $3,000,000. In other words the production in 13 years hus inci-eased about fourteen fold. But even at a very greatly increased rate of production, Uie question af exhaustion of lhe fossil fuel Is yet in a future exceedingly remote, for It has bt-en calcu.uted thut the coal bearing region of the great plain provinces, -between the International 'boundary and the 56th parallel of latitude has an area of over 65,000 square miles. In this vast expanse of country all the different grades of coul are represented— from a lignite, containing 11 per cent moisture, .16 volatile matter and 44 per cent carbon, lo un anthracite containing us high as 90 per cent tlxed cui-bon. Tills variety of coal allows of each industry to be suited to a nicety uccordlng to Its requirements, and coals of a superior quiil- tly may be found for steam raising, black- siuitimig. coke manufadlurlng ■•'ml domestic use. One of the features of the coal Industry of Alberta In 1906 has been the Inauguration of new methods of mining In the Edmonton region. Heretofore the coal for the use of the district wns mined by means of tunnels, driven on the coal seams which outcrop on tbo steep and high banks of the Saskatchewan; this coal was then sent out by means of scows. But with the growth of the region these means were thought inadequate and within the last three months three shafts have been sunk, the deepest to 200 feet, which will greatly facilitate the extraction, and the coul production Is now ready to keep apace with the growth of the region expected by the most sanguine Edmontonian. The product of the mines of this district Ib a llgnltlc coal well udapted to domestic uses. At Bankhead near Banff, the Pacific Coal company is mining anthracite. The preparation of this coul for the market Is attended with the production of a very large proportion of con] dust. Alter a long series of experiments as to tlie best means ot utilizing this dust, the coal company is at present erecting a very complete and up to date brlquettlng plant, and It ls expected that within a few months an excellent fuel, new to Canada, wlll be placed on the market In lite form of anthracite coal dust briquettes. On the mainland of British Columbia the coal Industry haa not been less active. It Ib true that In 1906 the only producing company besides the Vancouver Island collieries was the Crow's Nest Pass Coal coinpany, but pr--i---r.it'- ns were being made In the Crow's Nest field, in Us northern extension nnd along the line of the Canadian Pacific railway for the establishment of now nnd Important mines. At present the largest Individual colliery of Brltltrti Columbia, nnd of western Canada, for that matter, Is the Coal Creek colliery of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal company, which can handle 4000 tons of coal ln a day of 10 hours. Over and above all the producing fields, there are yet In these provinces vast tracts underlaid by Incalculable quuntltles of coal which are awaiting the advent of the railroad to be developed and to become Important producers; and . Mr. Denis believes, Judging from all appearances, they will not have to wait very long.

SHILOH wiUcure you, and all druggists back up this statement with a positive guarantee.
