In the course of bis budget speech he stated that the mining industry gave a total output of $20,000,000 this year, compared $17,500,000 last year. He advocated that the payroll be exempted with transportation and . treatment charges before levying a mineral tax, arguing that if this were .done lie would favor the tax somewhat and allowing 50 per cent off for ores'smelted*™ the province.

Premier McBride States That the Government's Policy Is Now Being Consideration. The lecture delivered by C. M. O'Brien, in Eagles' hall last Tuesday evening, was well attended, and. the audience listened attentively to the speaker as his subject, "The Historic Mission of the Working Class," developed. He first illustrated how society had changed by an economic revolution of the workingman from chattle slavery to feudalism, and also from feudalism to indultrialism, or capitalism. At each stage an economic condition within society itself had forced the change. He showed how almost the whole world was dominated by capitalism at tbe present time; that the worker of today had no economic power to force a change for better conditions, and the only hope of bringing about a change would be by taking possession of the several religious and political institutions of tne, country. He laid special emphasis on the commodity nature of the value of labor, showing how labor wbb bought and sold the same as any other commodity, and how its price was regulated by supply and demand. He very cleverly demonstrated the action of surplus values, showing how every nation in the world was reaching out after new markets in which to unload their surplus goods. At no very distant date, he said, when China and Japan, with their natural resources and cheap labor, become inonufacturing nations, the surplus will become so great that capitalism must smother in its own lat. He closed by urging his hearers to read and study the subject, and if they found he was right to get into line and help on the Socialist movement. P. D. McDohnald, the electrician, left yesterday noon for Princeton. He will make the trip west nf Midway on horseback. Mr. McDonald went out into the Similkameen country for the purpose of .hunting up a business location. B. Lequime, of the Kct'le River Lumber company, and family returned to the city this week, after spending the winter in California. They report having had nn enjoyable vacation, ami are greatly benefited in health. Grand Forks Federal Lahor Union will move from it* piese: t location in the Mi r i-ttin bl ck to t ie Euple's ball next Wednesday evening. After the moving and business meeting, a house-warming party will he given. Henry White, the original locator of the Oltl Ironsides mini' in I'hoenix, arrived in the city last Tuesday afternoon from Spokane. Mr. White has spent a portion of the past winter in California, and on his return trip to his home in Spokane he stopped off for a while at Tonapah and Goldficld, Nov., and reports P. A. Z. Pare, of this city, started work on his 125 feet tunnel on the Sunset fraction, on Hardy mountain, this week. The tunnel will be extended about 50 feet farther. It is stated that both day and night shifts areat present working on the Seattle mine, ten miles north of this city, recently acquired by W. T. Hunter and Horace Pemberton, of Greenwood. The Ladies of the Maccabees will give a progressive whist party and entertainment in Eagles' hall next Thursday evening, April 6th. Besides cards, a musical program will be rendered. Supper is to be served, and ah admission fee of 25 cents will be charged. Knox church, J. R. Robertson, pastor—Usual services next Sunday. Morning subject, "The Soul's Shepherd." Evening subject, "The Work of Our Canadian Church." All wel come. Remember the concert for Easter Monday, April 24th, in the Grand Forks opera house, under the au- spieces of Knox Church Ladies' Aid society. Mrs. Dahl is training some of her most efficient pupils for a number of choice selections for the George Lovcjoy, a Spokane Elk, who sacrificed a good part of his skin for grafting upon Mrs. F. B. Sears, at St. Luke's hospital in Spokane last Saturday, is having a pretty hard time. Much of the skin from his thighs was removed to cover the burns of Mrs. Sears, nnd he is still in bed, with prospects of having been there nearly a week when he gets around again. Mrs. Sears' husband is an Elk. Dr. C. P. Thomas, who performed the operation, says that all the grafts applied to Mrs. Scars are doing well. In Greenwood civnip, ** the Bay mine hns two ears of high-grade nre ready for shipment A compressor plant is to be erected on the E. P. U. The Sally is now shipping $200 ore from a 30-inch vein. The Skylark mine, near Pbounix, has shipped 125 tons of ore worth $10,000 this month. This property was bonded for J30.000 in October last. Some of the ore gnes as high as $140 per ton by the carload,while the average of all ore sent out is nearly $80 per ton. B. M. Bainbridge, of Nelson, divisional engineer of the C.P.R., is surveying for additional track facilities for the Montreal it Boston's mine at I'hoenix, which is at present shipping from 300 to 400 tons of ore daily. An 800-foot sidetrack and a 300-foot tail to the spur will be constructed Immediate. It Now Appears Certain That the Kettle Valley Line Is to Receive a Subsidy. In the house yesterday Premier McBride expressed pleasure at the opportunity afforded him to relieve the leader of the opposition of any anxiety he might have in regard to the government's railway policy. The premier begged to assure the leader of the opposition that the question of railway aid was now receiving the earnest consideration of the government. A private telegram was received in this city last night from Victoria stating that the government caucus had decided to grant the aid asked for for the extension of the Kettle Valley line 50 miles up the North Fork. The Nelson Tribune of last evening reiterates that the government's railway policy will be: 1. A cash subsidy of $5000 a mile to the Columbia & Western from Midway to Spence's Biidge. 2. A guarantee of principal and interest on tbe construction cost of. a road from Grand Forks up the North Fork of Kettle river for a distance of fifty miles, the province taking a first mortgage on the road. 3. Exemption from taxation for fifteen years on all mileage built by the Great Northern railway between Midway and the Fraser river. If this policy is adopted by the government, a race for the coast between the C.P.R. und thc Great Northern during the coming summer is one of the possibilities. Yesterday Mr. J. H. Kennedy, chief engineer of the V., V. & E., and his entire office staff, with the exception of Mr. Overman, left the city for Princeton, in the Similkameen country, where headquarters for the engineering department of the road will be established. Mr. Overman will remain here for a short to complete some unfinished work, and then he too will move farther west, and the offices in this city will be closed Mr. Kennedy would not admit that the removal of engineering corps to Princeton meant that actual tonBtruction wo kon the road westjof Midway would be commenced this summer, maintaining that they went out there for the purpose of making a preliminary survey only. The C.P.R. will construct an 8000- foot pipe line from Loon lnke to Eholt, for a supply of water for its locomotives at that railway junction, an appropriation for the work having been made. This will obviate in future the necessity, as happened during the past winter, of the road hauling water from Mitlway and Greenwood. A survey for tho pipe lino is now being made by the C. P. R. divisional engineer. ^The greatest feminine functiondur- ing April will be the selection of an Easter bonnet. **•£ a P QDp Stmttng £htn PUBMSIIKU EVERY TUE8DAY AND FRIDAY EVENINOS AT ORAND FORKS, B.C., BY G.

Forty skeletons were found in the cave. They aresup- posed to lie the lemains of the members of a former legislature, who adjourned without bringing down a railway policy, thus being compelled to seek safety from the wrath of their constituents by taking to the woods. The gruesome find should serve as a timely warning to the present session. In the debate now in progress at Ottawa upon the autonomy bill, Mr. R. L. Borden, leader of the opposition, referred to "the opinion of the well-known and able writer, Mr. W. H. P. Clement, in the second edition of his work on the Canadian Constitution." It should be gratifying to the people of this city to have one of our citizons referred to in such flattering terms, and Mr. Clement is certainly entitled to feel proud at such enconiums from a political opponent. ing the past four years, which efforts were latterly ably seconded by Duncan Ross, M. P. for Yale-Cariboo. The business man generally think it is one of the best things that ever happened Phoenix, and are grateful to Mr. Ross for his work in the matter. The complimentary farewell dance tendered to Oliyer Galer, Mrs. W. A. Williams and Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Davis, all of whom are shortly to leave the city, by the Yale Dancing club at the Yale hotel last night, proved a most pleasant social event. About forty couples were prest nt, and a program consisting of twenty numbers ard ' four extras wiYs successfully carried out. The music was furnished by Miss Margaret Eyre, assisted by Mr. A. B. W. Hodges. An excellent supper was served in the hotel. Four new Hodges patent charge cars have been installed at the Gnu.- Jy smelter, and two more are being added. In all they dispense with tl e labor of 80 men. It is claimed they will effect a saving of $80,000 a year. Each car is charged with hoth coke and ore, and runs right into tho furnace and is flumped by an attendant from the outside. Three motors are use/1, and each motor draws two cars and attends to two furnaces. The bunkers have been so rearranged that customs ore can be added as required after sampling. /» MAN WITH A MEMORY. SUNSET SAUNTERINGS Manager Keffer, of the B. C. Copper company, Greenwood, accompanied hy Mrs. Keffer, was a visitor in the city last Sunday. Mr. Munro, a New York broker, and Horace Pemberton, manager of the Boundary Falls smelter, were in the city last Saturday, being gue ts of Mr. A. B. W. Hodges. It is rumored in some quarters that the Granby company has thc same option on the Montrcd & Boston stock as the Guggenheimer Exploration company recently decided to let go. A new compressor engine, double the capacity of the present one, is now being installed at the Granby smelter. This will enable the company to operote three converters at one time, instead of only two as at present. A. L. Andrews, of Andrews & McDonald, the railway contractors, arrived in thc city today from Seattle. Mr. Andrews says his firm has secured a contract od Jay P. Graves' traction road, and that became hcie to ship some of tho grading material south. He is decidedly of the opinion that active railway construction work will bo commenced west of Midway this summer. Inspector Clute, of the Canadian customs departmeut, was in Phoenix this week, and attended to the details of the establishment of the sub-port of entry at that point, and the office is now definitely opened and doing business, with William Delahay as collector. By arrangement, a portion of thc new Gre.t Northern passenger station is being used as a customs house, with a bonded warehouse; also a bonded warehouse probably in the C. P. R. station. This ends the efforts made by the Phoenix board of trade dur- Th« Way He Saved an Accused Friend From the Gallows. A man was charged at Sydney with murder and by way of defense called evidence to prove an alibi. At tbe time the crime was committed he was, he said, In his own home listening to a friend wbo was reciting a navel to bim. Tbe expression caught the ear of tbe prosecuting counsel, and when a witness went into tbe box to say that he was the man by whom the prisoner was being entertained he tackled him on this word. The witness repeated that he was "reciting" Horace Wal- pole's "Old English Baron," not reading it, but reciting from memory, and It bad taken bim two and a half hours to get through the whole book. Well, if be could remember it while iu a but in the bush he ought to be able to remember it now in court, nnd counsel demanded a demonstration. "Give us a page or two," he said, never dreaming that his request would be complied with. The witness cleared bis throat and without hesitation commenced, "In the time of King Henry, when tbe good Duke Humphrey returned from the wars in the Holy Land, where he hnd been sojourning for n number of years," and so on, without hesitation, for several pages, all letter perfect so far as those In court could tell. Counsel for the prosecution, quite staggered by tbe display, confessed himself satisfied. But the witness was not, and the prisoner's counsel, piqued that doubt should be east upon his phenomenal witness, asked that tbe latter might be given time to recite the whole novel and his time in doing it compared with the two and a half hours alleged to have been occupied on tbe night of the murder. "Good heavens!" said tbe Judge. "But do you expect me to take it all tlown?" They compromised, the man with the memory reciting the closing scenes of the novel. And on tbis the mnn In tbe dock was liberated.—St. James Gazette. GARDENER ANTS. Th* Skill They Show la Their Math. od of Gron-lns; Mushrooms. The little busy bee has had s less conspicuous place In our hall of fame for Insects since we have come to know more of the sterling qualities and great intelligence which are attributes of the ants. Professor J. It. Alnsworth Davis gives proofs of tbeir right to our applause. He says: "In tropical America the traveler in their native region often sees thousands of ants marching In column of route, each holding in its powerful JawB a piece of green leaf about the size of a sixpence. These tbey take to tbeir nests. Tbe material Is used as an elaborate sort of mushroom culture, requiring much more skill and intelligence tbnn that In which human beings engage. The mushroom grower sets spawn In the beds be prepares, but tbe ant does not need to do this. Tbe desired spawn soon makes Its appearance in the cbewed leaf. But In Its natural state It Is Inedible and must undergo careful trentment before it yields the mushroom which the ant desires. The nec essary work is done by a special caste of gardener ants, Tbese weed out obnoxious germs, etc., and, pruning off tbe tips of tbe threads, prevents tbem from growing into the air and producing useless toadstools. As a result of tbis the threads swell into Innumerable little rounded white thickenings, each of which 1b about one-flftleth of an inch across. It is these which ore tbe mushrooms. Tbese curious bodies constitute tbe sole food of the ant—or, st any rate, the chief food." The Birds In the Pletnre. George Chambers, an artist, was once commissioned by King William IV. of England to paint a picture of the attack on a fortress on the Spanish coast by a frigate commanded by his majesty, wbo was then the Duke of Clarence. The attack took place at night. Chambers completed a beautiful picture from some rough sketches that were in the king's possession, and when submitted for approval bis majesty was delighted with it, but Chambers had taken an artist's liberty with the picture and for the purpose of relieving th/> somber veil of night had Introduced some sea gulls skimming the waves. "Hello, hello, Chambers!" said his majesty. "This will never do to have the birds flying about at night Tbey were all gone to roost." "So they were, your majesty," replied Chambers, "but you gave such a rousing broadside wltb your guns that they all woke up and flew about." "Ah, so I did; so I did, Chambers. I forgot tbat Very good, very good!" Relics of Gold Honlers. While plowing in his field near Eu- faula recently Mr. Charles Gibson uncovered a large number of weapons, some of wblcb were rifles of an old style, some blunderbusses, a few old time pistols and a couple of swords. All tbese weapons are In a fair state of preservation and are apparently of Spanish make. According to Creek tradition, a party of adventurous Spaniards, numbering fifty-four, In the year 1064 left New Orleans on burros nnd went to the territory in search of gold. They secured all the precious metal they could carry, and on their way back tbey were beset by a band of Shawnees near Standing Hock, eight miles east of Eufaula, and a great battle followed. The Spaniards, with the exception of two who escaped on a raft, were annl hilated. . It is supposed that the weapon; plowed up on Mr. Gibson's place an; the ones thnt were used by the Spun lards mentioned above.—Kansas City Journal. Lord Si-lborne. William Walflogrnvo Palmer, Earl of Sclborno, says M. A. P., has been described as^ "so zealous and Industrious that he has been known to spent! a bank holiday in tho empty Admiralty." What he has dono aa politician, First Lord of the Admiralty, and in other great oflices, everybody knows. His private tastea and hobbies are thoroughly English and ordinary. He hns a beautiful house in Mount street. He hunts, plays tennis, oiul is a devoted angler, being very deuflly, they say, with the "dry fly." Lord Sclborno was a footballer in his schooldays at Winchester, and played cricket for his college eleven at Oxford. Special Cut Prices in Cigars nt Donaldson's. Call and investigate.

WHY GO EAST Over the sun-burned, sage brush nnd alkali plains, when you muy just as well take a delightful, cool and comfortable ride through the heart of the Rocky Mountains in view of the grandest scenery on the American continent? This you can do by traveling on, the Rio Grande system, the far- famed "Scenic Line of the World," the only transcontinental line passing through Salt Lake City, Glen- wood Springs, Leadville, Colorado Springs nnd Denver enroute to eastern points. Three daily express trains make close connections with all trains east and west, and afford a choice of live distinct routes of travel. The equipment of these trains is the best, including free reclining chair cars, standard und tourist sleepers, a perfect dining car service, and also personally conducted excursion cars, each in charge of a competent guide, who* business is to look after the comfort of his guests. No more pleasant nnd inexpensive means of crossing thc continent ean lie found than is provided by these excursions. For additional details address J. 1). Manslidd, Gen.

A young man having evolved what he considered a good joke forwarded It to a comic paper, but received no answer. Desirous of ascertaining the fate of bis contribution be sent tbe editor the following letter: Sir—I have carefully read your paper for the last month, but fall to find any trace of tbe Joke I sent you on the 5th tilt la due course be received this reply: Sir—In reply to your letter, I deeply sympathize with you, for, since I received your MS. on the 5th ult. I have carefully read It several times, but up to date I, too, have failed to find any trace of the Joke referred to. Beeeher nnd the Medium. While In England Henry Ward Beecber was entertained by n gentleman who believed In spiritualism nnd was himself a medium. One duy be asked If Beecber would like to talk wltb the spirit of his father, Dr. Lyman Beecber. Mr. Beeeher replied that It would please him Immensely. After the seance was over he was asked how it bad Impressed bim, at wblcb, with n twinkle In his eye, Beecber responded. "All I have to say 1b that If I deteriorate as fast for the first ten yenrs after I am dead as my father bus I sbnll Im a stark naked fool." Lost Ills Dignity. An Englishman who holds a colonial governorship or similar office loses the prestige tbat attaches to tbat olliee as soon as he arrives In England. In tbis connection a story Is told of tbe Duchess of Devonshire and Lord Crewe, tben Ueutenunt governor of Ireland. They were on the same boat going from Ireland to England, and on the voyage she showed him all tbe deference due bis rank. But she loved a joke too dearly to miss the opportunity tbe landing offered. As tbey were descending the gang plank she suddenly exclaimed In a peremptory tone, as though addressing a boy of do Importance, "Now, Bobble, just take hold of tbis bag and run on ahead like a good boy and see tbat I have a compartment reserved for me." And Bobble did. Bine Murder! In the "Slang Dictionary" (J. O. Hofr ten, isiui "blue murder" Is defined as a "desperate or alarming cry—French, mortbleu." In "The Bagman's Dog," In the "Ingoldsby Legends," Barham writes: His ear caught the sound of the word "morbleul" Pronounced by the old woman under her breath. Now, not knowing what she could mean by "blue death!" »• Be conceived she referred to a delicate brewing, Which Is tilmnst synonymous—namely, "blue ruin!"
