Sun. :1 3-E a TWICE-A-WEEK Third Year. Grand Forks, B. C, Friday, November 6, 1903 No. 2 tjjjfie ElmoreProcess Refuse Petroleum Saves Good Ore at Rossland. Mill Closely Resembles an Ordinary Concentrator, Save for ir the Oil Features—Five Men Handle Twenty-five Tons. RosBland's first oil process concentrator is now in full swing at the I^ Roi No. 2. For a.time the works will be, closed to the public,, but visitors will soon be .admitted. The mill building is qolidly constructed of heavy timbers .and «ub- stantial stone and concrete foundations. The Structure is on the "step- down" gravity plan, each floor being utilized for a separate stage of the process. .,,, , , . ,,• Ore dumps of 20,000 tons supply the product to the concentrator over a surface tramway. The, initial stages of concentration at the Elmore oil mill is common to all such plants. The ore is reduced to three inch size in a Blake crusher, and then to Jjialf inch size in a gates crusher, whife a Trent rotary mill crushes it to a. 20 mesh fineness. The plant is erected in two units of 25 tons capacity each, with a Trent mill for each unit. ,, • Wilflcy stables receive the material from the rotary crushers, and ■ the first concentration is performed hero. Tbe material saved ou the Wilfleys is collected in launders and handled in thc manner common to all systems of concentration. Then the oil process commences. The residue from the Wilfleys is conducted to sets of horizontal iron tanks, fed with refuse petroleum from 2000 gallon oil tanks. Thc horizontal tanks are styled mixers, and are arranged in sets of three, one above the next. Each drum is revolved slowly by a spiral shaft and thc oil picks up thc mineral as a result of the affinity which is the underlying principles of the Elmore process. At the end of the upper tank a quantity of oil carrying mineral is delivered, while the balance of tbe contents of the first drum passes into the second drum, and thenoe to the third, the last drum collecting such mineral as remains. The balance of the process consists of apparatus to recover the oil. The oil bearing mineral passes into a centrifugal separator, revolving at a speed of one thousand revolutions, per minute, the effect of which is to throw out the oil. This does not recover all of the oil, however, and a further recovery is made in a perforated separator, also operating on the centrifugal principle. From the perforated separator the concentrates arc drawn ready for shipment, while the oil is returned to thc tanks for further use. Such oil as remains in thc concentrated product is valuable as a binder in the briquetting process at the smelter. Arrangements will probably be made for steel care to ship the concentrates in bulk. Five men, per 12 hour shift, constitute the crew at thc works, and only a slight increase is necessitated when the process is applied on a considerably larger scale. The machinery operates continuously, tbe system works automatically, and the men confine their attention to keeping things in running order and handling the concentrated product as it, comes from the final stage of the. prqeess. Victoria, Nov. 5.—Hon. Richard McBri.de completed his cabinet this evening after a long executive meeting. MoPhillips resigned his position as afvjjroey-general, being sueeeedetiby Cileries Wilson, who has been prcsi- dsWt.of the council. Wilson is succeeded in the latter office by F. J Fulton, of Kamloops. Both were were sworn in late tbis evening. WJlson will go back for re-election, thc byc-elcction being pulled off in about two weeks. Fulton docs not have to be re-elected. Later—There will be another shuffle of portfolios. McBride will leave the department of lands and works, uikidg that of mines, and combining with it the provincial secretaryship, while Green goes to the lands and works department. The cabinet, as reconstructed, is as follows: Premier, Minister of Mines and Provincial Secretary Hon. R. McBride Minister of Finance Hon. R. G. Tatlow Attorney-General Hon. Charles Wilson Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works Hon. R. F. Green President of the Council Hon. F..I. Pulton Thc second steam shovel for use in handling ore at tbe (Iranby mines has arrived in Phoenix, ami has been set at.work by the company. This shovel was loaned by the C. P. R. to sco if it would do the work required of it, and is proving quite effective in tbe .No. 1 quarry, where it is now now being used. It is of a different make from thc first steam shovel employed at the mines, which has been at work successfully for some months, and while not especially adapted to handling ore, is a more powerful machine than the first one. A third steam shovel manufactured by thc same makers as the first one installed, is expected to arrive from the factory in Ohio stiine time about the latter part of the present month. Ore is being loaded directly into the railway dump cars by tbesbovel that was set to work last Wednesday. "Quo Vadis," as presented by Mr. Harold Nelson and his company, is a dramatic success and unequalled in the history of the stage of Western Canada. Mr. C. P. Walker, of the Winnipeg theatre, has given his star a scenic and electrical equip- mqnt equal to that used in the larger cities, the entire Carpenter produc tion, which was used in Chicago and other large western cities of the United States, has been purchased, together with a lighting plant which will allow superior and realistic effects. The costumes have all been prepared under the direct .supervision of .Mr. Nelson and the models taken from tho most eminent classical authority. No expense has been spared to make this the dramatic sensation of the year. In Marcus Vinicius, Mr. Nelson has a .part which particularly suits his romantic and artistic sty It* of acting, besides affording him opportunities for great power. His costumes and armor have been procured at great expense, and are remarkable for historical accuracy, He has surrounded himself by a company of exceptional stength, eaeh one being especially selected for thc part taken. Mr. Nelson will produce "Quo Vadis" hereon Tuesday evening, Nov. 10. in thc Biden opera house. Mines and Smelters Final Payment on Elkhorn Bond to Be Made December 1st. Rich Ore Being Extracted From the Gold Bug—Mining News of Interest From All Sections ofthe Boundary District. Divisional Engineer F. F. Busteed of the Pacific division of thc C. P. R., has been promoted to the super- intendency of the Kobtenny-Boundary division, with headquarters at Nelson. Mr. Busteed succeeds I). G. Koss, who resigned on account of ill health. He formally took over the work of his new office last week, and last Friday he made a tour of inspection over his division, accompanied by Robert Marpole, superintendent of the Pacific division. The two new furnaces, Nos. 5 and li, were blown in at the (Iranby smelter tbis week. This makes four Urnaccs now in operation at the big reduction plant. Nos. I! and 4 are cold at present, but will probably he blown in before long. The tramway constructed at the (Iranby smelter for the purpose of carrying away the slag while in a molten state has been completed, and the engine and rolling stock were put in motion last Wednesday for the lirst time. Aid. M. S. Martin is the engineer on the day shift, with II. ('. Kerman as brakeman. The Marldor-Goulding company gave one of the best literary and musical entertainments ever presented in tbis eity at the Biden opera house last, Kriday evening. Postmaster Hull has been advised from Ottawa that ou and after Nov. 1st no correspondence may be sent to points ill the Yukon nortli of White Horse exeept "letters ami post cards; newspapers from the office of publication addressed to public libraries, to newspaper offices and to individual subscribers, and transient newspapers." li. A. Brown returned to the city Monday, after spending two weeks hunting and trapping forty miles up thc North Fork. Latterly the Athelstan and Jackpot, in Wellington camp, have not been shipping quite as much ore as formerly, owing to the difficulty in getting teams to haul it to, the Winnipeg spur. * * * The Mining World, of Chicago, will soon issue a special British Columbia edition, in which special prominence will be given to Boundary mines. * * * It is said that the ore ihipments from the Emma mine, Summit camp, will soon be increased to 300 tons daily, which will require an increased force of men. ' * * * ' '" With'the completion .of the new ore pockets at the Old Ironsides mine, now under way, the Granby company can load a train of ore without hardly moving1!- oar. The Greenwood syndicate who are developing the Ruby, near Boundary Falls, are running a tunnel to tap the ore body. They expect to run into shipping ore in a few days, wl.cn shipments will be made to tbe Boundary Falls smelter. * * * H. M. Fuller, who is developing the Gobi Bug for a syndicate ot Spokane and Greenwood people, hns 'our men at work on the property. Some exceedingly rich ore is being e ctracted, and as a new vein is being opened up the outlook for the Gold Bug is very bright. * * * The cost of mining at thc Athelstan is lower than at any other mine in the disti'iet, as the ore is soft and easily mined. The glory hole is assuming large dimensions. • * * * Arrangements have been made for the construction of a otl-ton Elmore oil concentrator by thc Rossland Power eompany, subsidiary lo the War Hagle-Ccntrc Star mines. The plant will be supplementary to tin- water cyanide mill near Trail. * * * (lootl progress is being made with the foundations for tbe converter building for tin- Mother Lode smelter at Greenwood, and the l.'i.Vfool brick smokestack is also going up at a rapid rate. * * * On account of tbe heavy eastbound traffic on tbe Boundary railway, including ore shipments from Republic mines, a helper engine is now iii commission constantly between Cascade and Farren. £ # # Owing to repairs necessary to the ore crusher at the Mother Lode mine, shipmenis of on: have, up to tbis week, been somewhat reduced for a time past. Some of tbe re pairs were made at the Granby 'machine shop in Phoenix. X * -Jf. Work has been practically suspended for some little time on the Seattle mine, up the North Fork, which is under bond to the Trail smelter people. It is expected, how- '"'"•. that Supt. Hutchens will resume operations there shortly. * * * The final payment on account of the Elkhorn bond will be paid on December 1st, says the Greenwood Times. The payment will lie mr.de out of the proceeds ofthe ore. Since this property was taken over by Jas. Sutherland Phil "McDonald every installment of thc purchase price was paid out of the proceeds of thc mine, and the cost of development, labor and material was paid from thc same source. Few properties in British Columbia have such a flattering record. Usually money, and lots of it, has to be furnished to place a mine on a paying basis, but the Elkhorn paid from the grass roots. Fourteen men are now employed in the mine. An incline shaft has been sunk a distance of 176 feel, and ore is being taken from a drift from the bottom of tbe shaft. Tho vein averages 12 inches in width, widening often to two feet. The ore is now being shipped to the Greenwood smelter without sorting. The smelter is giving a reasonable rate, and by treating all the ore without sorting a big saving is made. The average value is about 8100 to the ton. The vein is strong at the lower level, and it looks as if the Elkhorn would soon join its neighbor, the Providence, as a dividend payer. A new blacksmith shop, an ore house ami shaft house have been built lai tin' property. This fall a horse whim will be placed in the shall house, but iu the spring a modern mining plant will lit- Installed. Ho you want the news of the approaching session Fiikk?

Birds of a feather flock together. If the members who have been promised, or are seeking, portfolios form a syndicate they will have a good working majority in the next house. The days of waiting for population are drawing to a close. Canada has been discovered, or rather rediscovered, for over half a century ago the Irish famine and the clearings in the Highlands of Scotland drove great swarms of settlers into Upper Canada, and raised it from the position of a series of straggling settlements into a powerful and populous provime Tbe west seems destined to have a similar rush. Figures issued at Ottawa recently show that the immigrant arrivals in Canadafor the nine months of the present calendar year ending on October 1st numbered 108,014, or 30,182 in excess of the total for the same period last year. Of this year's immigrants 43,187 came from thc British Isles, 32,408 from the continent of Europe and 82,321) from the United States. In 1!)02 the immigrant arrivnlswere: British, 10,097; continental, 25,236; the United States, 20,017. Thc annual Christinas Cantata and entertainment of Knox church Sunday school will be held in the Biden opera house on Monday evening, December 21st. The executive of the school regret that it is necessary, for this year, to depart from their annual date of the 23rd of December, it being impossible to secure the opera house for tbis date. A cantata has been ordered from Chicago through Prof. Richards, and it is purposed to make this the most enjoyable and successful entertainment in tbe history of tbe school. Fred Elliott, the barrister, left today for Yorklon, N.W.T., wber- he will engage in the practice of his profession in the office of his brother. Rev. J. R. Robertson will conduct morning and evening services in Knox church next Sunday. Subject for morning sermon, "Christ's First Temptation;" for evening sermon, "Is the Young Man Safe?" The young men are specially invited to be present at the evening service. Geo. A. Fraser, M. P. P., returned this evening from a two weeks' visit to Victoria. Louis G. Fowler and bride, nee Miss Shepard, returned yesterday from their honeymoon trip to thc Sound cities. Harold Jackson, who recently opened the City market, now secures his incut from the Union Meat company, who own and operate a slaughter house near Phoenix. Josh Anderson has been confined to his home during the past week Buffering from a bail attack of the grip. A Yale-Cariboo Candidate Dr. A. C, Sinclair, of Rossland, was in the city last Wednesday on way home from Midway. Mr. Sinclair, who is thc best and most favorably known man in this section of the province out of public life, is being mentioned in connection with the Liberal candidature as a member of the federal house for Vale-Cariboo. His friends urge in support of his aspirations the fact that he is practically the father of Liberalism in this district. The doctor has devoted the best efforts of bis life in advancing the principl s of bis party, and to further thc cause of good government. He sticks this nomination only, and thinks that younger men should bo willing to await their turn. Thc doctor, being well advanced in years, cannot afford to wait, and any younger niiin who would attempt to sidetrack him at his time of life deserves the censure oj all good Liberals.

"Yes," Baid the young man who was taking the young woman for an auto ride, "the auto has its advantages; but still there is a great difference between it and the pood old horse." "Oh, yes; I suppose there is" answered the young woman. "For instance," went on the young man, "with the horse, when one was driving with the pretty girl, he could hold the lines in one hand, or wrap them about the whip, and—and—and hug the girl." "Oh-h-h-hl you awful thing!" exclaimed the blushing young woman. They sped along in silence for several miles. At lost the timid young thing said: "But I should think that difficulty could be easily overcome." "What dilliculty?" asked the young man. "Why, that—what you said about the times when the men took the girls driving behind a horse, and—and when they wrapped the lines about the whip, and when they—they—oh, when they did what you say they did." "I don't see how it could be overcome," said the youth. "If you stop thc auto it's liable to start up of itself and upset you in the ditch, and a fellow simply has to keep both hands busy while it Is in motion." "1 know," faltered the girl; "but—but it seems to me there would be a way." "I'd like to know what it is."

Ill "Lives of the 'Lustrlous," a blo« rraphlcal dictionary just Issued In Eng< land, it If maid that when Hall Caint, whose resemblance to Shakespeare) la well known, landed In New York on a trip to America, he was accosted by the late Ignatius Donnelly, a stranger to him, with the words: "Lord Bacon, I presume," Some of the late Lord Randolph Churchill's friends once tried to have Lord Salisbury reinstate his errntlo lieutenant. Salisbury listened to them patiently, and then asked: "Have any of you ever had a carbuncle on the back of your neck?" "No," was tho reply. "Well, I have," retorted his lord? ship, "and I don't want another." At a dinner-table In London the conversation turned on speaking. Curran stated that he could never speak In public for a quarter of an hour without moistening his lips. '*I have the advantage of you then, Curran," said Sir Thomas Turton, a pompous and pretentious member of Parliament. "I spoke the other night in the House of Commons for five hours on the Nabob of Ou:le, and never felt in the least thirsty." "That is very remarkable, Indeed," replied Curran, "for everyone agrees that it was the driest speech of the session." Dr. Gordon, who was the first minister of the church in Jamaica Plain, about the year 1771, was a Set tchman, very stern and arbitrary In his manners, and precise and orderly In his own habits. The following anocdote of him Is recorded In the family journal of one of his old parishioners: One Sunday, while preaching, he had begun to develop his theme with tho usual "firstly," and got through that and "secondly." Then, turning the leaves of his manuscripts he said: "Thirdly," a second time "Thirdly," and again in great embarrassment, '"Thirdly!" Just then a little girl in one of the front pews stood up and said: "Plense, sir, thirdly flew out of the window some time ago." John Townsend Trowbridge, one of the few surviving intimates of Walt Whitman, relates these anecdotes in his "Reminisce.ices" of the "good, gray poet" In the "Atlantic Monthly": "When, at dinner, preparing my dish of salad, I remarked that I was employed as his critics would be when his new edition was out, he queried, 'Devouring Leaves of Grass?' 'No,' I said, 'cutting up Leaves of Grass'— which amused him more, I fnncy, than the cutting up dll which came later, As the . fternoon waned, and he spoke of leaving us, somebody placed a book before trie face of the clock. I said: 'Put Leaves of Grans there. Nobody can see through that.' 'Not even the author?' he said, with a whimsical lifting of the brows. m Curious Bits of News. Recently an American cyclist wheeled through La Mancha, in Spain, and in all that bleak region found no one who had ever heard of "Don Quixote," much less of Cervantes. Dogs are to be used as river police on the Seine. At Gibraltar, curiously enough, dogs are mainly used for smuggling across the frontier, while on tho St. Bernard they hrve once more been established as 'first aids" to the frozen. Burnham, the famous scout, found that on the Klondike trail every kind of dog could be taught to draw sledges. The decoy dog and the blind man's dog Shaw with the sheepdog tb« hoior nf earning their own living In recognized walks of industry. Goubet, the French Inventor of submarine boats, has devised a model of a boat Intended to run under water and to convey passengers between France and England by means of a cable stretched across the Channel. Perhaps his strongest argument for an underwater passage Is that the stendlness of motion would prevent seasickness, the traditional terror of the English Channel. The submarine boat "Fulton" lately lay undisturbed on the bottom off the Long Island coast while a tempest overhead sent many vessels to destruction The keepers of the big cnbrns In the Central Park Menagerie and the New York Zoological Garden do not Hnd it easy to supply their venomous charges with the kind of fond that they specially prefer. In their native land cobras live chiefly on smaller nnd less dangerous and objectionable snakes, but although every effort Is made to collect harmless snakes to satisfy the appetite of the imprisoned cobras, nt some seasons they have to lie content with rats and mice, which they do not particularly like. Other* varieties of captive snakes are fed mainly on toads, mice, rabbits nnd English sparrows. Smoking in church Is a Dutch custom. Dutchmen are such Inveterate smokers that one of them Is rarely seen without his pipe. He finds himself unable to deprive himself of the Indulgence, even for the short period of a church service. A similar practice exists In several churches In South America. Smoking In churches In Great Britain Is sold to have been prevalent at the end of the sixteenth and the beginning of the seventeenth century. At one time smoking was carried te auch an excess In Serine Cathedral that the chapter applied to tho Pope for power to repress the abuse. Urban VIII., yielding to their wish, issued a :,ull, which was promulg'' id January 30, 1G42. In Wales smoking In church was Indulged In as late as 1850. In one Church the communlon-tnble stood in the nisle. and the farmers were In the habit of puiting their hats upon It, and when the service began they lighted! th«*lr pipes and smoked, without any thought of Irreverence In the act. @®$®®msm ®&0.
