RETROACTIVE CLAUSE II Milling Companies Who Have Made Big Profits Will Alio Pay Share (By Dally News Leased Wire.) OTTAWA, PeD. 18.—The Evening Citizen says: "An income tax may be provided in future budgets but It Is figured out at the finance department that this would produce not more than two or two and a half million dollars. The operation of such taxes is very largely a provincial affair and being availed of by the provinces to realize ihe extra revenue they require under existing conditions. The retroactive features of the budget affect not only the industrial and munitions companies, hut especially certain milling companies which had large supplies on hand and benefitted very materially fl-om the sudden rise In price following the outbreak of the war. It Is Understood that the Ogilvie Milling company profited to the extent of a million owing to this appreciation and the Lake of the Woods, the Maple Leaf and other companies did as well proportionately. The budget reaches these as well as munition concerns on account of Its retroactive features, otherwise the revenue from such sources would be much less than Is now Iii prospect."

The house adjourned at fi o'clock owing to a dinner which Sir Robert Borden gave to Hon. William Hughes uf Australia, and to which all the cabinet ministers and leading members of the opposition had been invited. Consider Bank Act. The house resumed consideration of the amendment to tho bank act which extends the powers of the Ibnnks in making loans to farmers. The bill, in addition to extending the time of the legislation enacted two years ago, also provides that loans may bo accepted on tho security of ltvo stock. Kir William White read extracts from a num her of letters received from hank man- agers showing that while about f»0 per cent approved the hill, the other fit) per emit were not favorably disposed to it. He said that as a rule western manufacturers favored the legislation. Hon. Rodolphe Jvemleux thought it was Important that tlie house should give tho names of the hankers favorable to the bill, hut the minister snid he did »ot feel at liberty to do this. Sir Thomas also read a. resolution passed hy the United Farmers of Alberta asking for legislation along these lines. He sold ho liad been assured by the hanks that thoy would have abundant accommodation to meet the requirements of the farmers during the coming season. He believed the legislation would be of benefit to the farmers, and said that the 'banks were fully alive to the necessity of increasing production, Georgo McCraney did not think that the banks wonld loan much additional money, but In view of the. wish expressed by the farmers, he would not oppose the bill. J. CI. Turriff said tliat In view of the privileges enjoyed by the hanks, including a practical monopoly of deposits, the taxation imposed upon them by tho budget was only a trifle, .lames Douglas of Strathcona was or the opinion that the hanks had not lent much money on the security of grain; In mont cases they preferred to take the security of the farmer's note. He thought it would be important to have tin; assurance of the big hanks doing husi- ness in tlie west that they would1 favor the extension of loaning faciMties. R. M. Macdonald urged the removal of the limitations of the hil! so as to an til prize the hanks to loan money on personal property In genera!. Thinks It Will Aid West. William Smith, South Ontario, a well known stork man, thought that the hill would hoof great advantage to. tho west. Recently the western provinces were injured hy the heavy shipments of cattle to the I'nited States. They were not a class of stock in many eases that should have been on tlie market, hut the farmers were compelled to realize money by some means and their neighbors who had the feed would have taken them hut had not the means of Nnanohig the purchase. The present will would obviate such a difficulty, Sir Thomas White in reply snid that the hanks could not let money out for too long a-period. It was advisable hut they should help all the business of the country nnd for this purpose their money must be kept readily available. Conditions in the west were different from, those in the east. It was hard for the western farmers to get endorsers for their notes; The banks, however, would he frequently ready to lend money to a. farmer when they i-onsldered the moral risk to be good, This hill would enable them to do this on the security of live stock. Such legislation had been extremely yalu- uablc to the stock misers in the United States. Tho bill was reod the second time and rendered1 to the commitltec on bankin.-r' and finance. The hill to amend the insurence act of, l&l© was also read the second time and sent to the. same committee. Sir Thomas White explained thatlt was tho same act as hist session and was necessitated by war conditions. *■ Discuss Yukon Estimates. Certain insurance eompunies had heen incorporated, but beforo the licenses had been Issued thoy had to get a certain just proportion of the- capital subscribed, as w:ts always done. This was difficult at the presont time and the hill extended the period for one year tn enable them to get the capital ■and take out their license. •The house then took up the estimates of the department of the interior affecting the Yukon. E. M. Macdonald thought that there, might ibe some uniformity practised. He thotrght that considering the population there was / CARE FOR CHILDREN'S Hair and Skin With Cuticura.

R08SLAND, THE SEAT OF A CABINET MINISTER Because of the exceptional fitness Of Hon. .Lome A. Campbell for the portfolio of mines, to which he has been appointed, Bossland has become the seat of a cabinet minister. It fCsts with the voters to say whether Bossland shall retain that position or whether some other constituency, which would welcome the opportunity, Is to take the Golden City's place as Mr. Campbell's seat. frhe Issue is not a partizan one. The Liberal party does not pretend to offer the province a minister of mines With anything approaching the qualifications and ability of Mr. Campbell. It cannot -promise Bossland a minister bit- all. It offers no such progressive policy of ■*.development of the mining Industry,,, upon which Rossland depends, aa Mr. Campbell has outlined. The Liberal speakers from the coast who are now campaigning in Hossland are simply asking the people of that city to' turn down a cabinet minister Who can;serve them well and elect In bis place, W. D. Willson, as a private and opposition member of the house. Under such conditions there is not any room for- doubt as to the result and Mr. Campbell's majority should be a sweeping one. Bossland's voters are not likely to take any chances. NOT PRACTICAL MEASURES. BLUE RUIN TALK This is no time for blue ruin talk. Statements, which have been made repeatedly by opposition speakers in the province, that the resources of British Columbia 'have been looted, squandered or. destroyed have been proved untrue and, while they are not likely to mislead the intelligent voter, they have undoubtedly done the province much harm among outside investors. The fact is that prospects for the development and general prosperity of the province were never brighter than at the present time. British Columbia's mineral, agricultural, timber and fishery resources are capable of vast development. Last year's mineral output was one of tho largest In history and showed a heavy increase over 1914, the agricultural production was the greatest on record and lumber sales were stimulated by^ the demand from the prairies and overseas. Practical businesslike methods of taking advantage of the situation and of developing untouched resources are needed at the presont time. "Dismal Jimmy** talk is worse than useless. WASHINGTON ADMITS RIGHT TO ARM SHIPS , Washington's formal statement yesterday to its diplomatic agents that it upholds tlie right of merchant ships to carry guns for defense is timeTy, although it will not remedy the harm ■that was unintentionally caused by Secretary Lansing's proposal that the disarmament of all merchant ships Should form part of an agreement between the belligerents concerning submarine warfare. That proposal could .not be accepted by the entente powers. Jt asked-them to barter, a right.to defend their merchant ships in exchange for a German promise, which all the World knows to be valueless, that U-boat commanders -would refrain from violating the laws of nations and the'laws-of humanity. But the fact that the suggestion was made gave Germany a peg upon which to hang its proclamation that all ships carrying guns would be torpedoed after March 1 without warning. The United States knows and. is how apparently prepared to contend that such action would be illegal and inhumane. A lengthy diplomatic ■ correspondence On the point ia. to be anticipated, MINING tlttrtJSTRY FORTUNATE /IN THIS CHOICE "I can say without hesitation that in my judgment nothing has occurred In re-Sent years more promising for the future of the mining industry in British Columbia than the choice, of Premier Bowser in selecting, in the per- pen of Hon. Lome Campbell, a new bead for the provincial mines department." ■ ' This is the considered opinion of James Cronin, one of the most experienced and Widely known mining men of the northwest of this continent. ;* .."With the assurance that a new era -4s opening,for mining and that' the. 'fndjietry is now at the-.iftreshold-^f■■'»' greasers/ of expansioiTTt^ft' partieu larly fortunate that the, mines department of the province is to be placed .ih such able hands," Mr. Cronin further stated. A good British motto is1 "What we have we hold." Bossland has a cabinet minister. Hungary has borrowed a large sum from German banks. If It is wise it won't accept any paper money. The Turks remained true to their own traditions and those of Germany by slaughtering all the Armenians they could find before evacuating Erzerum. Just to show tliat it is fighting a "defensive war" Germany has imprisoned a Socialist who condemned the Berlin government's annexation policy. A big entente offensive from Saloniki is predicted for the spring. It may occur but from this distance it looks as if Russian attacks on the eastern front and Franco-British attacks in France and Flanders are the best means of causing the Teutons to Bcurry out of the Balkans. Germany would be delighted if the entente powers would disarm their merchantmen. It is much more pleasant for a submarine commander to torpedo a ship which cannot hit back than to have to keep out of range of a 4 or 6-inch gun placed at the stern of a fleeing vessel. Bossland is to have a three-cornered contest, a Socialist having entered the field. Vancouver also has three candidates. The third in the latter city is an Independent Liberal who in his announcement of candidature raps "the hidebound party men who compose the Liberal machine," which is campaigning for the Liberal candidates in the three byelections whicii arc now in progress. WHAT THE PRE8S IS SAYING Premier Regains Strength The public generally will be glad to learn that Mr, Bowser has sufficiently regained his strength to be able to return from Kamloops to Vancouver at an early date and take part in the byelection campaign.—Victoria Colonist. Col. Lowery's View Some of the Liberals in Ottawa arc opposed to Canadians accepting titles. The conferring of titles cannot do much harm, except in the way of creating envy amongst those who do not receive them.—Greenwood Ledge. "Defying the Nation" Whon pacifists deny the need of self-defense they are denying the nation. Tiiey are discarding the fundamental principle upon whicii the United States was built. Although they are inclined to offer in its stead a. icind of internationalism which may some day come to pass, tliey are for throwing aside the means by which such internationalism as now exists was brought into being. Our pacifists have denied the United States more than thrice. We do not call them traitors any more than Peter was called a traitor. But we hope that the cock will not crow too late.—Chicago Tribune.

To the end of January there had been spent upon the war $158,000,- 000, or SS.OOO.OQO1 more than had ibeen voted by parliament. During the session now in progress Ihe premier will a*sk for another war vote of $250,000.- 000, and the finance minister speaks with a cheerful optimism of a possible total of J500.000.000 for war purposes which he -believes the Dominion can handily finance. Naturally Interest will centre on the taxation proposals of the government to meet this heavy drain upon, the public exchequer. In this connection it is gratifying to know that Hon. Mr. White's last war revenue budget has more than made good, the revenues accruing-from it being much in excess of those anticipated, and the people generally showing no disposition to object to the various measures. This being so, one feels a certain securing in contemplating such additional schemes of taxation as the finance minister may present. A consideration of the new -proposals as outlined in his speech yesterday justifies feelings tooth oi" confidence and satisfaction. At the outset the minister declares that the government bos adopted as a fixed policy the principle of leaving the farmer ami all those interested In the basic iiidustry of agrictulture as free as possible from the burden of special,taxation. This is as it should be, and will, no doubt, be fully appreciated by the agricultural community. Nor will the great "bulk of the people bo inclined to find fault with tlie minister's determination to make special assessment Upon the - prof its of all incoriwrated ahd individual companies doing business in the Dominion. As a result of the war industrial and financial corporations are in a most . flourishing state, ajid.it is only reasonable that they should pay a fair percentage of their excess profits to the government to aid In financing the enterprise through which they arc enabled to flourish* . . s . . ., . .*., With respect to munition plants there ca^i be no question as to liability in this I regard. We have %eerit$$JitO believe that their profits have been extremely generous, even to the extent that might be described by a term not to the liking of loose interested. By taxing these profits and making the levy a retroactive one from the commencement of the war, tlie government is doing well and following a line of action that has been loiiig advocated 'by tbe press of the country, The new regulations will particularly affect transportation, mining, milting and financial corporations. The Herald's Ottawa correspondent wires that, one company alone- will have to pay a tax of $2,000,000, while half a dozen others will he assessed from $200,000 to $400,000 eacli. Canadian banks that have been paying large dividends will have their assessment to the government almost doubted. The Herald welcomes the new taxation as a step in the right direction. The accident of the war opened a way for easy and rapid money making for the few and left the many with little hope for anything better than a bare living, coupled with self-sacrificing in many other directions than that of finances, i ly means of the new taxes the added financial burden of the war is being placed on the shoulders of those, hest able to bear It. Herein the government shows wisdom and a really sfatesmanlike conception of its duty to the people at large. Hon. Mr. White's new taxation measures will Increase confidence in the government and tend to arouse still further enthusiasm among the people for the energetic proesculion of Canada's part in the war.—Calgary Herald. Our own Miss De Graff is due home from her junket—paid for iby Henry Ford—-with, the consoling assurance that Mr, Ford succeeded in what lie set out to do. So tbe soldiers were "out of thp trenches by Christmas?" But she is angry—ph, so angry—with the reporters. Hear her: "The public has been greatly misinformed by garbled and twisted reports of the doings on board the ship. Few accurate reports were made of the conferences, and It is not surprising when a great many newspaper correspondents were, caronsing,all night and were not in s? condition to hear or see anything right. It is a mystery to me why editors sent men to cover such a trip who, r do not believe, could report accurately the aetitvies of their own home town," Tiie naughy reporters must have misquoted Miss De Graff who Is credited with the following astonishing adventure: "I assisted in caring for one woman of our party who was prohibited by her physician from taking any fresh air. This was surprising and unbelievable, and we cheated and opened tlie porthole and she got well. Mr. Ford hud no one to care for him, as his wife was not with him and there was no one to make him refuse to obey the doctor's orders." It is surprising and unbelievable, indeed; but not more surprising and unbelievable that Miss De Graff, a teacher of young children, should 'boast of cheating a doctor (by secretly—not openiy—aiding in disobedience of his orders.—Portland Oregonian. INVASION 1 From tlie beginning of the war the authorities have not been unmindful of the possibility of a German invasion from the United States The bitterness against this country on the part of pro-Germans in the American border cities has been intense It.is known tliat many plans have been studied. The extent of our preparation for any sudden call from the frontiers might surprise many of our people, if it were possible to give details. Undoubtedly this alertness has been the chief stumbling block for ill- tempered guests in our neighbor's country. One has no doubt that the details which prudence forbids describing are known in Buffalo and Detroit and induce billingsgate in many a German society. The assembling of any raiding force in the United States would be, of course, contrary to law, and would demand action by the American army. Yet the sudden rising of even 100,000 men, armed and equipped, would find the Republic helpless, at least for some weeks. Canadians do not remember that the total military force of the United States, scattered over 3000 miles, is 89,000 men. This country has more men overseas today than our neighbors can muster In uniform. The best guarantee against invasion is found in the armed forces now training ln all parts of Canada. Our men have already won a reputation and any raiding force which crossed either the St. Clair, the Detroit or the Niagara rivers would soon find itself involved -Wiflery disputation.—Toronto Nowb. J CAMPBELL BEST MAN FOR J I MINING INDUSTRY I . Frank A. Boss, -formal president of the Mining Men's club-and for many years superintendent- for: -the Daly estate of tbe Nickhv I'loteV-mlno at Hedley, B. C„ hi an interview in the Spokesman-Review pays the following tribute to Hon. Lome A. Campbell: I have known Mr. Campbell for 12 years and f' OpmaS believe It - .Would be possibles pick a man in , all. of British Columbia so emin- 'Viftly qualified toUllI't^ie'pbsltlon '' as he. Appreciating thiv demands which the proper discharge of the duties of tliat office will make on the most competent of men,' I think it would be a great misfortune to the mining industry of the province if Mr. Campbell were not placed in position to continue the service he has so brilliantly inaugurated. In saying this T do not desire to disparage In the slightest degree liis political opponent, whom 1 have not tlie pleasure of know- m ing, hut solely because it would not seem to me to be possible to secure a man of equal ability and experience to replace Mr. Campbell in the event of his defeat at the polls. 1 hope tbe people of UosHlnud will look at tills matter as one quite apart from politics and consider only the best interests of tlie mining industry.

Sir Sam Hughes, as soldier and statesman, has made an impression upon his country. Erratic at times, perhaps, but loyal and true, with an energy that is dynamic and a constitution that has no limit. With all the dignity of an officer, yet democratic ad a, soldier, the boys in the ranks know that they have no better friend. The burning of the parliament buildings showed another characteristic in Sir Sam. Sitting at the time of the alarm at a banquet table he did not rest on his dignity, but rushed to the scene, sized up the situation, ordered out a company of soldiers and remained all night assisting in the work of rescue and maintaining order. There was no thought of personal discomfort. He did not give his orders and retire to tho comforts of the club or his home. Not the Honorable Sir Sam. He is too democratic for that.—Victorian. fA LIBERAL VIEW OF WAR I TAXE S ■ Sir Thomas White, finance minister, has about the hardest task of any man in Canada. He is our "maker of silver ■bullets;" he has to provide tlie money to keep up Canada's end in the great struggle, in addition to supplying tho money for current and capital expenditure within tho Dominion. We are pleased to see that no penalty is placed on the agriculturist. There will be no tax levied either on tho land or its products. This Is right. Canada last year 'boasted a revenue of 5170,000,000, or $20,000,000 In excess of expectations. Tlie farmers, with the aid of a bountiful Providence, made this enormous revenue possible by raising ?1.000,000,000 worth of proddcts. If they can repeat this year, Mr. White need have little fear that his estimated revenue of $200,000,000 ifor the coming year will he realized. The other taxes will have little effect on the west. The budget speech Intimated that $2 r>0,000,0 00 will be asked for to prosecute tho war. There would be no objection is the amount asked for were twice as great. All Canada wants ls evidence that the money voted for war purposes is used to 'best advantage, that graft shall have no place In Its expenditure. We have the right to expect this,' to demand it.—Lethbridge Herald. Oliver Daunais, a pioneer gold and silver mining man, died at Kenora at the age of 80 years. CHEAPER OIL FOR FARMERS EXPECTED OTTAWA—New oil taxes will, it is believed, increase the cost of crude oil for fuel purposes and decrease the cost o? illmliiating oils on the prairies. Gasoline is not affected by the new duties. Under the now duties crude oil for fuel purposes pays one-half cent per gallon, while, formerly about three-tenths cents in Ontario and one-seventh cents in British Columbia. Railroads using fuei oil will Ifttye to bear the greater part of the new taxation. Thore is no change iiii the crude oil Imported for MAGIC BAKING POWDER. CONTAIN* WO ALUM.

HOW FAT FOLKS MAY BECOME THIN CBy Elizabeth Thomaa.) Perhaps you are suddenly becoming stout, or it may bet that yon have been putting on weight for years, ln either ease tho cause is the same—lack of oxygen-carrying power of tiie blood. This trouble occurs in adults of 'both sexes and all ages, but it may be overcome very easily aud without any of the privations that most people imagine necessary to reduce their weight. Simply go to your druggist and get some oil of orllene capsules. Take one after each meal and one before going to bed. Weigh yourself so as to know just how fast you are losing weight. Wonderful results have been accomplished by this inexpensive recipe, but be sure to get the genuine o'.l of orl- llenc in capsule form. It Is sold only in original sealed packages.

(By Daily News Leased W'lrq,) XEW VORK, Feb. IS.—Qruduul recoveries from low levels of the early week were registered in *oday's dealings. Trading was dull and subject to minor reversals during the morning, but the undertone was more confident and stable. Less attention was paid to International affairs and more consideration was given ti» such potent factors as excellent railroad and industrial earnings. Continuance of the Current high pressure of activity and expansion in general to the trade was again reflected in heavy bank clearings. poppers aiid other metal shares featured the operations to an unusual degree, Butte & Superior and American Zinc being especially prominent at new high records. Zinc's new maximum of S4% was aeocmpanled by considerable activity, making that issue the leader. Anaconda, I'tah and Chino also registered gains of a point or more. Contrary to their usual course war 'stocks were mainly irregular, but came forward in the later dealings. The automobile group under the intermittent pressure.-llkewise Petroleum, American Woolen and some other obscure specialties, but Sugars, I'nited Fruit, Mercantile Marines and American Tobacco pioyed more than an offset. Traders for the long account were encouraged by the firmness of rails, this division under tbe leadership of Reading, making a fair response, to moderate purchases. Canadian Pacific scored a further recovery from its recent severe setback' and other Ca- .iVjillnn issues moved in sympathy, I'nited Slates Steel was only moderately active but strong in certain quarters, Announcement that the Steel corporation had acquired from abroad approximately $23,0011,000 of its first mortgage bonds for sinking fund purposes constituted another bullish factor for that stock. It is understood that the'bonds were purchased out of the 'corporation's enormous liquid assets. 1-test quotations of the day were made In the final hours, rails then contributing more generally.to the stronger toiie. Final prices were a shade under the maximum. Total sales of stocks were 425,000 shares. Ootids responded to tlie improved tone of stocks although tradings in that division was nominal. Total sales, par value, were $3,270,000. I'nited States bonds were unchanged on call.

(By Dally Newa Leased Wire.) CHICAGO, III., Feb. its.—Liberal export buying which followed an advance in Liverpool quotations gave strength today to the wheat market here. Prices closed linn, 1'4 net higher, with May at *1.29"rk and July at 11.24, tints gained 1 to % and provisions 5 to 17. Announcement thut export sales aggregated 1,200,000 bushels accompanied the advance of wheat to the highest pplnt of the day. The top level was reached just before the close of trading but the market all through the session had an upward slant most of the time, owing chiefly to sympathy with conditions at Liverpool, where offerings were reported .as exceedingly small i reserves dangerously low. ln this connection it was said the government of Argentine was urging farmers to hold their wheat and was giving as a reason that Europe must buy at any 'OSt. Depressing crop reports from the domestic winter wheat belt acted its a further handicap on the bears According to a well known authority, the recent violent changes in temperature had caused alternate thawing and- freezing in the numerous 'sections and had hot unlikely brought about con giclerable damage to unprotected fields. Dp the other hand enlarged receipts northwest exerted only transient iiiflu eiiece against the bulls. Coarse grains were, firmer. Foreigners were taking both corn and oats, but mainly corn. The effect'- of good weather and of relatively large receipts of corn wars thus more than offset. Provisions advanced notwUhstand. ing a decline in the value of hogs. Commission houses were generally on tho buying side. After the upturn packers led the selling. 0 Stock is In 'Better Demand—Canadian Pacific I. Firmer; Sells at 168%. (By Bally News Leased Wire.)

FOB Atl. PEOPLE, FOR ALL TIMES AND FOR ALL PURP08ES Jfeiily News Display Ads (By Prof. A. Lakes.) There is no "htitlve" lead like there i.s "native" copper, silver and gold, neither are there any lead placers of pure lead as there are of tin and gold. Lead in nature is always mixed (ir eombined with some other mineral. Thus galena, which is the eommon Ie:id-producing mineral is "lead-sulphide," nr jt combination of lead and sulphur, it-may also contain or. be eombined with other minerals more valuable than itself, such as sliver or gold. Galena is the favorite silver- bearing ore. it sometime?" also carries gold, and is associated with zinc, copper, antimony und several other sulphide minerals in tlie. veins. Its common crystalline form as we find it in the veins is u dark lead-grey shining cube and Uie.se into still smaller ones, till even tlie dust is seen to be cubic under tlie microscope, lt Is one of the commonest of our metalliferous ores, and is found in all the rocks in which other ores occur, but especially in limestone whose substance It re- ploes; sometimes in enormous bodies. Like other metallic minerals it is Influenced and changed iby surface chemical action, or as we say "oxidized," into sulphates, carbonates, etc. This change may sometimes ibe seen iu a single hand specimen of ore the centre of which is a shining pernel of galena or lead sulphldle, around which gathers a ring or zone of a dull greenish gray tint. This is the change from sulphide to sulphate, which is known as anglesite or lead-sulphate. At a vein in the Sandon region of Vlritish Columbia ships of this substance will light with a match and burn sulphur blue. Tbe next ring, zone or change is to a canbonate of lead, called cerussile." This may he In silky white crystals very like calespar but much heavier, and gives ofif metallic lead under tlie blow pipe. Both anglesite and cerussile may be In large workable quanities and be very valuable silver-lead hearing ores. From ignorance of what they were or their value larage quantities of these ores were thrown over the dump by early prospectors. They were not supposed to be metallic ores at all, but some variety of clay or lime or some other more worthless mineral. The Origin of Leadville. This was the case at Leadville, Colo., in early days. The site of the present Leadville was originally a large profitably worked, gold placer called tho California placer. The placer miners were .often troubled by masses of what they etillfd "heavy rock," which obstructed their gold sluices and was disgustedly tossed out on the dump. M\ assayer happenod along and noticing: this refuse, thought he would sample It and fintt out w^\t it was. It proved to be lead-carbonate, carrying silver and one of the most valuabl« and desirable of silver lead ores. Tt was easy to trace this heavy rock to its source and so Leadville was discovered and first called Carbonate--, ville or the Carbonate^camp and for a period this desirabel surface ore, so much in demand by the smelters for its self-fluxing qualities was. the principal ore worked, until with considerable depth the. saleiiu. or sulphide, original prinjitive lead, ore iono waw reached and proving.h'iffhci; silver be„- Ciime the future ateady wenlth of Leadville. Aiiglenite also was found hi (IS proper relative place, but not in such great <\ cenissite, "Hard" and antities.as tbe .curboniU "Sand Carbonates" of Lead. In the development of the mines, 0* though therp, was drily one true carbonate mineral, yet certain changes or varieties were found in working and locally called "sand carbonates," "hard carbonates." etc. "Hard carbonates" was when the carbonates were mixed with a, great deal of sillca-and formed a hard brownish gray or rusty rock. When this was broken up by nature into a loose, sandy body It w.is called "sand carbonates". Both were mixed witli a good deal of iron oxide, which concealed the. true color and form of the cerussile crystals, which were-at times in silky white masses something like varieties of lime or calespar and gypsum satinspar, but distinguishable by great weight. Cerusslte being a carbonic like calespar effervesces with nitric acid, but anglesite 'being a sulphate, like gypsum or lime-sulphate, will not effervesce. Lead carbonate is largely used- in the. manufacture of white lead of painters, and carpenters. As might be expected lead carbonate is more often, found near, the surface and outcrops of veins than at great depth when the original sulphide of lead or yalena comes in and. may con tlmio down to as deep aa it is possible to mine. Nearly, all galena ores .carry a, little silver and many sitver lead mines, are worked■ more>for their silver.than their lead valued though both commonly g0 together. In part of England there dr^'miiies ' called "lead' mines" worked'almost wholly for their lead values. ■ • Visit to a Cornish Lead Mino, , 1 visited one of tnese mines called "Wheal Maiiarne,". near Llskeard, Cornwall; and spent the night shift in the lowest workings. We;descended the shaft for several hundreds of feet by what iscalled a Cornish "man engine," a great walking -beam from which descend rods on- either end with steps on them and corresponding steps or stations in t^ie shaft wall, with tlie rises and fall of the beam you keep stepping on and off till you reach the bottom, whilst a man is correspondingly ascending to the surface ns you are goig dow».'" From the bottom of the "man engine" shaft for some' 500 feet or more we followed ladders, the heat sensibly increasing with depth; till we found" ourselves in the lowest* drift, the roof of which was glistening-with, galena r-uartz crystals. DuHn-g: thenight one of the men broke into a "vug" or hollow cavity running/parallel with the walls of the vein and drift. A candle inserted into this virgin cavity,, which had never before seen the light to be lined with .large white transparent quartz ci'ystals";sprlnkled with sparkling gems of galena. From this Aladdin's grotto we 'broke off large pieces of uaartz crystal and ore and carried thorn with us to the surface as trophies.

"We havo received from William C. Anderson, of Quincy, Mass.," says the Toronto Mail and Empire, tlie copy of letter he addressed to Lord Milner and Lord MUner's reply. Tlie matter discussed ought to bo of Interest to every British subject, and particularly of Interest to Canadians, since it con- erns a'Vast scheme for settling soldiers and their families in the British colonies and self-governing dominions at the end of the war, Mr. Anderson believes that the tremendous problem of .unemployment tliat is nl- most t'otftaln \to i>e sprosonted when war ends ought to be grappled with now." The Mall and Emplro has expressed the opinion that for the pros- art t the war and the war alone ought occupy public attention, especially it any other subjects f discussion would be likely to divert our energies from, the great struggle, hut the matter discussed by Mr. Anderson is really war business. If the problem of unemployment spoken of could ho solved in advance, it would, no doubt, havo ry great and Helpful influence upon recruiting; it would prove to every soldier that he has a real stake in tho country for whose existence ho lc fighting. The Views of the Workers In addressing Lord Milner. Mr. Anderson explains that as ;t working man lie crimes into contact frequently with many other working men, formerly British subjects, but now employed in the United States, and thnt tho views he puts forth have tiie approval of these men. lie says; "We believe that right now a strong committee should be formed to deal with Imperial reconstruction after the war. This committee should have a well-thonght-ont, clearly-defined and decisive policy to put In operation the moment the war ends. We believe that not less than halt* a million soldiers who have foiight in the war should he settled1 in Canada, Australia- sia and l\ S. Africa, and that an appropriation of not less than ono billion pounds sterling should bo voted for the purpose. Canada is a land of vast agricultural possibillt'es and great mineral wealth. A small group of the best agricultural and engineering experts in the Empire should be sent over to make all necessary preparations for tho coining of the men. The exact location or location** where tliey aro to settle should bo defined, lines of branch railways should be surveyed, sites of model garden cities, cement built, should lie located, mining properties surveyed, and the location of factories and work shops should lie decided upon. Nothing should lie left to chance. The gang ploughs, threshing machines, motor tractors, grain elevators, etc., should lie provided and run on the cooperative principle and tho entire properties should belong to tho nation. IT one-hadf the energy, foresight and preparations used In the War where used for the reconstruction, the scheme is an assured success from the beginning, "There are great irrigation and artesian possibilities in South Africa. Preparations should -be mado now. incidentally, the Intensely loyalist stock thus settled would swamp the Hertzog party with their disruptive ideals. In Australia very great possibilities await Irrigation I have only to -point out what has been done in arid -S. California and Arizona to prove this. A Tangible Empire "The British empire heretofore has been more or less Imaginary; there has been nothing tangible about It. Take my own case for instance. I cite It merely because it illustrates a principle. Seven years ago I was in Scotland, and unemployed. There were a 'groat many unemployed at the time. Thoso who had no means .were left to starve Was anything done for them? Absolutely nothing! All were British, loved Britain, wore oiblo and willing to work, yet no organization was created to utillzo their services. Personally I canto to the United States, I have done better! 8PECIAL NOTICE <* During the next few days we shall have a lady demonstrator in the Grocery Store giving expert advice and demonstrating the many excellent dishes that can be made from Roman Meal.

Yet our feelings aro British, still our sympathies are British, 'but that- Is not enough. There must lie something tangible to go on, something real; sentiment alone is ef no use, An Englishman here whom I met daily is a. veteran of the South African war. When that war finished he was not allowed lo settle in South Africa. At home he could not get worlt. Ho was driven to want. He had to -pawn his medal to live, and finally was assisted to America. He has done well here and haa been steadily employed. But. he has ibden embittered, and his sentiment, In his own words is: "To hell with the British empire." it is an empty phrase to him, without meaning, and I tell you, with all tlie earnestness of which 1 am capable, that these things will mean the decline and fall of tlie empire if they do not stop. In the United .States there are several million British born -who aro lost to the empire forever. Mr. Anderson goes on to say that if tlie war were to ond suddenly now there u;ould lie industrial chaos; and who can say that when It ends it. will not end as suddenly as It began? If the commission ho suggests were appointed now It would be possible when the war is over to draft the soldiers to their future homes and occupations, all awaiting their efforts, as swiftly as they were drafted into the army. These measures would, as ho says, result in the creation of n "real empire," each part still legislating for its own particular needs but 1>ound to every other part «by 'both interest and sentiment. In replying. Lord Milner expresses his hearty approval of tho views expressed, and mentions modestly some of his own efforts toward Imperialism. What the War Has Taught He doubts, however, whether lie is a young enough man to place himself at the head of a movement to achieve tho ends sought, but liellevcs that, the matter ought to be discussed and those interested in the subject, brought to. gather. The war has -brought home to us, as he says, the meaning -of empire. It has (brought us into a closer fellowship; it has tended to wipe out class distinctions, whether of position or of "birth. It ought indeed to give every citizen a tangible interest in the emplro for whicii he risks his life. That recompense at least every soldier should have for the sacrifices he is making. ALL OFFICERS MUST RETURN SALUTES OF MEN, HUGHES •OTTAWA—Major-General Sir Sam Hughes is a democrat on the subject of salutes. "A private," he said "is as much entitled to a salute from an officer as ah officer is entitled to one from a private. Why, 1 salute scores of them every day. Complaints havo come from different parts of the country about a few young snobs who persist in calling down men for not saluting them when they themselves havo neglected tn salute. iWe aro eliminating a few of those youijg individuals from the service." "Oh, no," soliloquized Johnny bitterly; "there ain't any favorites In this family! Oh. no! Jf I bite my finger nails I get a rap over the knuckles, but If tlie baby oats bis whole foot they think It's cute." Word .was received of tho death of Ludwig M. Ruben, wellknown impres- sarlo'of Montreal and New York, at Camden, S.C., whero be had gone in search of health. flM CHANCES IF CHILD'S 1UNE_B COATED If cross, feverish, fiick, bilious, clean little liver and bowels A laxative today saves a sick child tomorrow.
