The stock is worth par today. They have enough ore in sight now to justify this advance. I look for this stock to go to six or seven dollars." Such is the statement of R. P. Trimble to the Herald on Thursday after he had visited the property and examined the work that has been done since he left last fall. The most important work to be done in connection with the mine now, says Mr. Trimble, is the buildingof that wagon road from the Skeena Crossing bridge up to the mine. The government has appropriated $5000 for the work and an effort will be made to get it started at once. There is a lot of the machinery for the mine at the bridge now waiting to be taken up. As soon as the road is done and the machinery is up the company can start shipping ore as there is lots of it ready now.

The fire spread and grew in force until about one o'clock when it caught in a thicket of underbrush and started on a mad career. When the first who saw the big smoke and blaze arrived on the scene the situation looked very serious for the town.

Mabee, of the ; ,. i Dominion Railway Commission, died recently at Toronto, his system having proved unable to withstand the shock of the second operation to which the surgeons found it necessary to subject him. His loss will be severely felt by that portion of the Canadian public who realize the importance to the country of having a capable man at the head of the railway board. He commanded in the fullest sense the confidence of the people, and the respect with which his judgments were invariably treated by the railway corporations was conclusive evidence of his impartiality. While a lawyer of great ability, he displayed in his capacity of chairman of the commission an im- datience for mere technicalities which prevented the defeat of all real issues which were submitted for his consideration. The question of choosing his successor might well tax the discriminating judgment of the government. It may be impossible to find his equal, and the country will scarcely be satisfied with one less able and resolute. At the present juncture the pujblic interests are bound to suffer should the commission prove unequal to the task of. defending those interests against*powerful and aggressive corporations; and it is with the chairman bfr��he board that this duty will chiefly lie of resisting, by the sureness of its judements, the inyasion of the country's rights.

Apply to the Hazelton Hotel, tf Celery Soil.���Celery can be grown on any fertile, well drained soil, but best results can be obtained from a loose, rich sandy loam or a black muck soil. Well drained swamp land is often excellent soil for the commercial growing of celery. Special attention should be given to the maintenance of humus in the soil, as celery growing not only exhausts the chemical fertility of the soil, but also injures its physical condition. This is not so important in the case of swamp lands, where there is generally an extra large supply of humus. The maintenance of humus in the soil can be accomplished by the application of large quantities of barnyard manure, or by planting the land every third or fourth year to some leguminous crop, such as clover. Fertilizers. ���Where fresh manure is used, it should be plowed under in the fall at the rate of about twenty tons to the acre. Well-rotted manure may be applied as a top dressing a short time before planting, and harrowed into the soil. If the manure is plowed under, the land should be replowed a short time before planting, in order to bring the manure near the surface. Raising the Young Plants.��� Celery seed looses its vitality very quickly and is practically worthless when kept over until the second year. Order your seed early, before the supply of the best is exhausted, and there will be very little difficulty in getting 'good seed. One ounce of seed will give about 5,000 plants. Celery seeds are slow in germinating, and the temperature of the seed bed should be kept low. The seeds for the production or early celery are sown about the end of February or the beginning of March, in hotbeds or fiats. Where grown in flats there is less danger of damping off if the seeds are covered with sand. Transplanting to the Field. ��� The ground should be well plowed, harrowed and smoothed before the plants are set out. The seed bed should be thoroughly soaked with water before the plants are dug. A portion of the top is generally trimmed off the plant when transplanted. When raised on a large scale celery is grown in single or double rows, 4, 5, or 6 feet apart with plants 5 or 6 inches apart in the rows. Most of the growers in this province prefer the double row system. Early celery is generally planted closer together than late celery. If the weather is warm after setting the plants in the field, they should be shaded for a few days. Cultivation. ���The young plants should be frequently cultivated but at no time should beep cultivation be practised, as the roots are to be found very near the surface of the soil. As soon as the plants attain considerable size the leaves should be drawn up and a little soil compacted about the base of the plant to hold it up upright. Blanching. ��� Early celery is usually blanched by means of boards as there is less danger of disease during the warm weather. Late celery may be blanched by the use of boards, or by banking up with earth. There is much less labor required when boards are used for blanching, but if the celery is to be left in the ground late in the fall, there is more danger from frost than when it is well banked with earth. Storage.���When only a small quantity of celery is kept for Winter it may he well banked in the field and covered with straw, or put in a trench and covered. This method is, however, too laborious for application on a large commercial scale. Celery may be safely stored in cellars or storage houses provided the temperature is kept low and plenty of ventilation maintained. Make bins 3 or 4 feet wide 2 feet high and any desired length and put in about 5 inches of strong soil. Plant the celery, leaving the roots on, close together in rows about 3 inches apart. After the plants are set in, water heavily without putting any more than necessary on the tops. Leave the bin open until the plants are dry and then cover. CHURCH SERVICES ST.
