Davy.*-, formerly of the Silver King mine, to take over the old sampling works at Kaslo and convert them into a plant for handling the ores in the district. The new industry will operate under the title of the Kootenai Ore Treatment company and will enter the market for the 'purchase of lead arid zinc ore of too low a grade to permit of shipping to a distance for treatment. The process to be employed is the same that is now being used ;it the Hewitt mine and has been in service for the last three years.���������Pioneer.

Ross of Spokane, Washington,' was honored at the recent inauguration of Dr. Ernest O. Holland as President of the State College of Washington, Pullman, by having conferred on him the degree of Master of Science in engineering 'in recognition of his service to the mining industr y of the Great West.'" Mr. Ross was for some time general manager, for the estate of the late Marcus Daly, of the Nickel Plate group of gold mines and the 40-stanip mill and cyanide plant, in Camp Hedley, Similkameen, B. C. Rich showings of copper, increasing in richness with each .core taken from the diamond drill, is the latest report from the sulphide ore fields at Plin- Flon. . On Sunday morning last the two drill were down -400 and 500 feet- respectively, and the ;ore richness at this depth created suppressed excitement among the miner-sin the district. At the commencement of the drilling the ore was light in color, hut as the drill progressed downward the stuff grew darker in shade and richer in copper-, where at 400 Veet it is said to be a veritable deposit bf strong values. The two drills were shifted about ten days ago ton. point'between 200 and 500 yards from nhe initiatery holes, and it was in the new-������r holes that the rich copper showing .vas picked up. A team load of cores and a team load of bagged samples of' sulphides were landed in The Pas on" Tuesday night for shipment, to New York, for examination by expert ' assayists and chemists.

EDMOND, Propi The diamond drill outfit for Tono- pah mines at Schist lake got in last Saturday, and was loaded 'up by Geo. Cann. The teams got away on Tuesday morning for the scene of drilling, which is announced to take place on the Mandy claim secured from Fred. Jackson. This claim projects into Schist lake, oh a neck of ' land about three miles from , the sulphide mines lit Flini \Flon.! There 'appears] to be a strong copper deposit on the claim, and repeated "assays show from 14 to 23 per cent, copper, with gold and silver mixed. The .average''assay has not been made public hy the Tonopah peo- pie. "^ The 'drilling ' will 'be done by Smith & Durkee, the well known Ontario drillers, who are also drilling the Flin Finn properties. AVith this drill the total number of drills working is brought up to four.���������Pas Herald. ��������� The results of the drilling by two diamond drills'on .'the' sulphide ore claims at Flin-Flon are reported to be highly satisfactory, and that 100 feet of ore was encountered. The drills are set at a 45-degree angle, and the last report brought in stated the drills had gone down 280 feet. The drilling was done near the walls of the vein, 300 feet apart, and the foot walls were successfully nicked , up. A feeling of great confidence runs through the little camp of mining- men at Flin-Flon, and everyone, feels that the permanency of the ore body is well ! assured. The/drilling will continue, and as many holes as possible will be put down. ^���������as-a-a-rsa -8-3 -asis-a***** **?%*.

"~ '*" " "*"-' - -- - - Great was the delight of the boys of the 47th when there arrived last Wednesday several hundreds of^boxes of apples from Vancouver and B. C, Each hut received its quota, and everyone had as many apples as he desired. The kindness and thoughtfillness of our friends at home was much appreciated. It was through the good offices of the Canadian Red Cross Society that the consignment arrived, and in an interesting letter to Colonel' Winsby, Mr. J.'M. Seymour' tells how the apples came to be sent. The letter runs: ���������At an entertainment at the Pantag- es Theater some few weeks ' ago a'lec- lure was given entitled, "The Silent Navy and its work-",--and in a letter written by a naval officers in -His Ma: jesty's : Navya paragraph -was -read which* said how grateful the boys would'lie for some of those'juicy BJ C. apple's, arid how much our boys would enjoy "them; This brought' forth an immediate response by*one gentleman in the audience offering 50 boxes; I was approached,' asking if' the Red Cross Society would make an appeal for our boys. After consultation with some of our Executive, I was detailed to look after this appeali'with the result that I managed to secure four carloads, or 2,115boxes."'' ���������' ' " This was a magnificent >.New Year's gift, and we at a loss to know when the generosity of our friends at home will cease. We almost feel'embarrassed at the quantities of gifts that come from time to time from those we have left behind. ��������� The Canadian Red Cross has done such a tremendous lot for her- soldiers at the front. The greater Vancouver- organization closed the . year- with a report, of 1,083 cases of goods sent to Toronto and ��������� London1- (England), amounting- in weight to no less than 80,000 lbs., and valued at 145,000 dollars. This was all material made up ready for our wounded, sick -and diseased soldieis in tin- Red Cr-o.-s hospitals,'be- thirty thousand dollar.- cash sent to London for- medical and surgical supplies that could lie pin chased in London. Then outside this am the countless n umbers of socks that have, been knitted for the boys at lhe Front, and the wonderful woik done by the Daughters of the Empire, to say nothing of 3o,S54 dollars raised in one day on the mainland of B. C. for the B. C. Base Hospital, now known as No. 5 General Hospital, C. E. F., recently sent to Malta. Yet in addition to all (his. "The Prisoners of War Fund", working through the Canadian Red Cross Society, have cabled no less than 15,000 dollais to London, for the purpose of sending gifts to the prisoners in Germany. We do indeed thank the generous donois of those apples to us; the gift was more than appreciated, for many had not even seen an aj-ple, leave alone tasted oue, since we left home. We are glad chat we are able, thr ough the courtesy of Mr. J. R. Seymour, to publish a list of the names of the contributors, and we know that all other units which received their portion of the gift will unite with us in giving thanks to one and all.

MARTIN BURRELL, Minister of Agriculture. ... THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS ARE BASED ON REPORTS CONTAINED IN "THE AGRICULTURAL WAR BOOK,.- 1916," PUBLISHED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, OTTAWA, ONT. LIVE STOCK���������The herds r.nd flocks of Europe have been greatly reduced. When the war is over there will be a great demand for breeding stock. Canadian farmers should keep this in mind. EVBEATS���������In 1015 Great Britain imported 664.50S tons of beef, mutton and lamb, of which 364,245 tons came from without the Empire. Out of 430,420 tons of beef only 104,907 tons came from within the Empire. The demands of the Allies for frozen beef, canned beef, bacon and hams will increase rather than diminish. Orders are coming to Canada. The decreasing tonnage space available will give Canada an advantage if we have the supplies. DAS RYi N&-���������Home consumption pf milk, butter and cheese has increased of late years. The war demands for cheese have been unlimited. The Canadian cheese exports from Montreal in 1915 were nearly $(!,500,000 over 1914. Prices at Montreal���������Cheese : January 1915, 1534 to 17 cents ; January 1916, 18}^ to 1SJ_ cents. Butter : January 1915, 24 to 2SJ:i cents; January 1916, 32 to 33 cents. EGGS���������Canada produced $30,000,000 worth of eggs in 1915 and helped out Great Britain in the shortage. Shippers as well as producers have a duty and an opportunity in holding a place in that market. WRITE TO THE DOMINION DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND TO YOUR PROVINCIAL DEPARTMENT FOR BULLETINS ON THESE SUBJECTS Tens of thousands of Canada's food producers have enlisted and gone to the front. It is only fair to them that their home work shall be kept up as far as possible. The Empire needs all the food that wc can produce in 1916. *" PRODUCE MORE AND SAVE MORE MAKE LABOUR EFFICIENT SAVE MATERIALS FROM WASTE SPEND MONEY WISELY THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA 4 THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE There once was a Teddy Bear whose name was Bobby. Hobby was owned by a man named Saxel Andberg, a man who loved the birds and the beasts and the flnwers. He bought Bobby and then paid the government for the privilege of Keeping him as a pet. Bobby was a privileged member ol'the family and when OldBoieas blew hard out of the north Bobby found a welcome and a cosy pl-ice al, the foot of his master's bed. There, were children of the white man in that land who had no better care and tieat- inent than Bobby. Bobby was attached to a chain and the boys and men of Nickel Plate Land came .-nid played with Bobby and fed him nuts and sweetmeats. But Bobby grew as the month rolled oh and one dav while his master- was in town to buy a stronger chain to hold the romping Bobby, he managed to get loose and began to roam about seeking adventures of his own. At once Bobby went to the tent where he had so often found warmth and a kind friend. Near the tent he spied some rabbits, brothers in captivity, but. they were too small to play with Bobby, so he wandered over to a near-by chicken ' house belonging to a man named M. Essenger, he liked to see the antics of these birds and hear them talk their strange cheeping language. His visit here was ruthlessly disturbed by a bear hound who ru.-h- ed at Bobby and barked'so hard that he was frightened and sought safety in flight up a near-by tree. Soon he became tired of the. tree life, and cajne down. He ��������� wandered over to where a little, dog lived and began lo play with him. The terrier told him that his master's name was Sorn Tinart. They played together for some time and several of the inhabitants of that land watched their antics. But Mrs. Sorn Trnart did not like Bobby,and threw some very hot water on his back which burned his hide and hurt very much so the little fellow cried and again ran up a tree. Here his little terrier friend watched below and scampered about, telling him to come down and play again. Soon Bobby foigot his hurt and his troubles and ca.me down, he went over to the house of a man named South Bynorth where there lived a little hoy about twelve years old and here Bobby had a great time playing with the little, boy and wrestling. The little boy ��������� seemed to enjoy the fun every bit as much as Bobby. The boy's mother called him away so Bobby wandered into the woods and there he came to the house of a man mimed Bills. Mrs. Bills came out find called Bobby and gave him some pie and Bobby played about the house. . But alas for Bobby, there came along a mighty hunter, with a very big gun that shoots far and hurts very .much, Mr. Soni Tinart considered himself a big chief in the land and a great hunter and Mr. Bills also came with a big gun and when little Bobbv was in a tunnel where he could not well get out they came to shoot him. Bobby's master came up just then with the new chain to catch Bobby and take him home to dinner. He asked the hunters, the mighty men of valor what they were doing and when told they were going to kill his little pet he was very sorry, "Nay" said he, "But let me I beseech you kill him myself, if he has to be killed." But to this the mighty hunters would not consent, then he tried to borrow Som Traart's big gun to shoot Bobby with but could not. Then Mr. M. Essenger came and said he would catch the little Teddy Bear with a rope and tie him up so he could not eat up the mighty men of valor or harm them, but they said "Nay, we will shoot the bad bold bear, with our big guns." So they shot the little bear, not once nor twire but as if they were at one of the great battles of the world, in France, they shot, and the ammunition train had tii come up to bring more ammunition to reload'the magazine. Poor little Bobby cried hard and his cry was heard over in the village and a woman heard it and was very sick. Soon little Bobby was dead and his hide was so badly punctured that it was no good and his kind master could not even "nave the hide of his pet to remember him by. And the. men of the village are very sorry because their pet is gone. . C. Dingwall, a Vancouver travelling man was selling his wares to Hedley merchants Thursday. Joe Armstrong came to town Tuesday evening with an old-time prairie schooner in tow, Joe is headed for- his copper claims up at Aspen Grove, which is considerable more than a sabbath Day's journey from Summit House. Joe was the original locater of this claim in 1S99 and then took out some outcrop samples of native copper which have been a srrrprise to every miner or prospector who has seen them. He is taking along Norman Dewar and M. Hughes and expects W. Bryant to accept the job of culinary artists in the course of a few days.
