' The- Nicola Mines- That mining properties in Nicola mining division are attracting the attention, of eipitalista is *iuite evident from,tho,nuaiberef men representing -capital visiting the Nicola valley tho past few weeks.

There arc numbers of Rossland Mines An tone Sorenson, late superintendent of the Jumbo, has been appointed! superintendent of a mine on Belcher mountain, near Republic, Wash., and leaves for there in a ffew days. A fine specimen of copper ore was recently found on the 700 foot level of the -White Bear. A pc- culiaiity of it is that it contains small garnets. Tho miner who found the specimen has worked in several mines of the camp and says this is tl'e first time he has ever seen garnets in the ore of this camp. Garnets are very common in Alaska and there ara- places where they can be picked up by the bushel on the. Southern shores of that country. LcRoi���������Tlie shipments of the LeRoi for the week ended last evening was 1:.G80 tons, and-it would have been larger had there been more ears available.. The sinking of. the shaft is now hewig proceeded jwith. energetically, and will be kept up-for several months. The section west of theJo-dt* dike is looking well and so are the-newly .found ore shoots in the other portions of the mine It is not certain when the Northport smelter will be able to soeurc coke, but it is thought that a supply will come to hand not later than a fortnight hence. As soon as a supply of fuel is assured the output ofi the- LeRoi will be considerably increased. Trail���������Coke is now running in every day at tin rate o3'7 to'S carloads and there are now between 7.00 and S00 tons on hand. Une of tho copper furnaces will be blown iu to-morrow and the others will bo put in operation as rapidly as a supply of fuel is assured. In addition to tho ore received from the Rossland camp ore was sent in from the following mines dliring the past week: St. Eugene, Moyie, 01 tons; Eureka, Nelson, 22 tons;: Ottawa, Slocan, 20 tons. Total receipts for tho week, 4-13; tons. Northport���������No coke has been received at tho Northport smelter during the past week, and it is nob known for a certainty when some will come to hand. It is thought, however, th.it thero will be some received before the end of the next fortnight*. Jiisb as-soon as a supply of fuel is available two of the furnaces will bo blown in. The Northport smelter h in first class shape to reduce a large -tonnage just as soon as a supply of fuel is available.���������Rossland Miner. ipe should- go away back east and unload their horrible theatrical nightmare upon the farmers of the cent- belt.

Smith, superintendent at the Jewel mine in Long Lake camp, was in the city this week. An old-time friend of his who was in a maudlin condition struck Jim for a meal. He was taken into a a restaurant and a porterhouse and half a dozen eggs ordered. Jim went out on business and in half an hour met tho old-timer who was still hungry. Again they visited the restaurant and this time it was bam and a half dozen which were dispatched by the old-timer. By this time jTiru.had become interest- in the reducing powers of his friend, and resolved to test the capacity of the human furnace. In about half an hour he again" visited the restaurant with his friend aud ordered a dozen boiled. Only, ten disappeared. Both were satisfied. Jan had learned the actual capacity of his friend, and the old- timer had.reached the limit. Ifarry Shallenbcrger came in j from Spokane Tuesday and- is preparing to resumo work on the Moreen in Dead wood camp. A 20- horsepower Denver, electric hoist will be installed.

Considerable activity is expected- in the next year on the properties which have been lying idle for the past three- or four years.

The United States is the largest producer (Go to 70 per cent, of the world's supply) bud the freest customer of it.

It commented upon the causes which led up to a strike, It frankly .stated that the position taken by the manager of the smelter was weak, untenable, unjust and could only result in disaster to the company. This has been proved by the agreement entered into Saturdiy last. It is unnecessary to go into details, more than to say that the agreement is qi.itc satisfactory to the gross in Germany, France and Holland as completely as a curtailment of the Southern staple checks the looms in tho mills of Han- cbester. Only a few years ago Europe supplied her own needs, rheu she took but a paltry SSOO,- 000 worth of copper from the United States. In 1905 her bill for the metal was������SG,225 000. At the present rate of expansion it will be 6100,0000,000 before 1910. In the same period the American yield has grown from 2/,000 long tons a year to 421,9S2 tons.

Eat a pint of peanuts and drink two or three glasses of milk before going to bed, said he, and I'll warrant you'll be asleep within half an hour. I did as he. suggested, and now .for the benefit of others who may be afllL'tcd with insomnia, I feel it to be my duty to report what happened, fso far as I am able thisf morning to recall the details. First let me say, my friend was right,, 1 did go to sleep very soon after my retirement. Then a. friend with his head under his arm came along and asked me if I wanted to buy his feet. I was negotiating with him when the dragon on which I was riding slipped out of its skin and left mo floating in mid air, While I was considering how I should get down, a bull with two heads peered over the edge of the well and said he would haul me up if I would first climb up and rig a windlass for him. So as I was1 sliding down the mountain side the brakeman came in, and I asked him when the train would reach my station. We passed your station four hundred years ago, he said, calmly folding the train up and slipping it into his vest pocket. At this juncture the clown bounded into the, ring and pulled the center pole out of the ground, lifting the tent and all the people in it up, up, up, while I stood on the ground below watching myself go out of sight among the clouds above. Then I awoke and found that I had been asleep almost ten minutes.���������The Good llealth Clinic.

Waldorf Astoria, in New York', relates the following incident and vouches for its truth. - A nice looking old lady, who bore unmistakeable signs of having recently come from the country, and who was apparently intensely interested in conditions in- New York oily, came, into the corridor of this great hotel some mornings ago, and was looking abofit her with a most lively interest. An attendant stepped up to her and asked her what she wished; not with any intention of discourtesy, but with a very hiuinno desire to assist her, in any possible way. 1 know well enough what I want, she said, but I don't know whether you are the man 1 should go to. Are you the owner or the manager of this hotel ? No, madam, I am neither, but J can speak for the management and would be glad to serve, you in any way. She was such a rice old woman that the heart of even a New York hotel attiichc warmed toward her. Its jiiofc this waj-, mister, she, said. I am visiting some- friends up toAvn, and broke away today to look about a lit tie and see some of the sights of this town." lamGS years old and I live 'way up in With that he gravely returned tho nickel, and with many a pleasant "Thank j'ou. sir', for your kindness," ��������� she moved slowly out of the dining room, smiling upon everybody as she went.���������Minne- apolis-Journal- Ni York. , I" have hoard tell Ts under the management of jGreig & Alorrison.

I would like to go back and tell the friends at home that I had eaten at the Waldorf��������� whatever the rest is���������aud what I wanted to ask" you mister, was if I could get a meal hero for fifty cents. Just at that moment Oscar, the genial general manager of the place, whom everybody knows, was passing. Overhearing this question, he stopped and looked at the old lady.- Like everybody.else, he warmed toward her instantly. Good morni'ig, madam, he said with his most polite bow. Did I understand you to ask whether you'could get a good meal here for fifty cents ? Yes, sir, said the old lady, that is about all that I can afford to spend as I wish to buy some little things for the children, and must look out for my ticket home. -I don't suppose that would go very far in this hotel would it? You were never more mistaken in your life, madam, said Oscar, with his most polite bow. We can give you a very good meal here for less money than that. You come with me and I will see that you are taken care of immediately. . With that he led her into the main dining roira, personally seated her at a table next the Fifth avenue windows, and asking to be excused for a moment took thc waiter aside and gave him some very definite instructions'. Then Oscar returned to her and said: You leave it to me its to what we serve you, and I will see that you are well taken care oe. I know you will, the old lady said, with a beaming smile. There have been no luncheons served at the Waldorf-Astoria in j the last month or so more calculated to please a nice old lady from upstate than was placed upon her .table that day. It was nob elaborate, . uor was ib French, but a icareful selection of things that 'would certainly satisfy her, ending ; with an elaborate cut of hiickle- ; berry pie. ; The old lady did justice to her i meal, and when it was over she ! turned to the waiter and said: Bo I pay you sir, and how much is my Cobst Stories The following ' stories in the Toronto papers are about people well known in the Uoundary and Knotensy.. - A'million d illar deal only takes a few iiiinut.es sometime--, was the remark.of a man present., when' the University mine, was sold. Two of the owners of the L*i Kose, John Martin and (I think) Dave Dunlop, walked into the. office of the University mine at 10 Jordan street, Toronto, where President George Gleiidenning was sibling chatting to a caller. Good morning- gentlemen. Good morning George. We hear the University mine is for sale, George, was John Martin'.'; querry. Jt is if we get the price, was the pre.-idenL's reply. What is the price? came back from John. One million dollars,, was the, short but neat reply. The terms, quoth Business John. The answer is not for publication. We will take the the mine, said Martin ami Dunlop and- a million-dollar deal was closed and in a few ruiuutes papers signed. Goodbye George, said John Martin twenty minutes later and wires l.egan'-to get hot. Artie Ferlaud, now at the Walker fL-use, was one of the original owners of what is now known as the Nipissing mine, and since he and his fellows parted with it at $200,000 they have been wondering why someone did not tell them how foolish they were. Gut Artie tells' a very good story about something that happened to him about six -months ago. A man came into Mattawa, where Artie is one of the representative citizens, and known as a stalwart Conservative for miles around, and showed him a piece of gold-bearing" quartz.1 Thc maiv v, ith the quartz said he found it in the vicinity of Lardo lake. It was a thing of beauty, and after his experience with the Nipi^ing mine Artie .began to reckon himself a millionaire if ' he could only get hold of the claim that contained such quartz. In due season Artie and his friends parted with 83000 for this gold brick, and the claim from which ib was taken, which claim thc man with the quartz said he owned. To this 65,000 had to be added S2500 for equipping an exploration party to go up to Lardo lake district and peg down the claim. The sequel of thc story is that there was no such claim and no such ore was found in the vicinity Lardo lake and that Artie and his friends parted not only with 85000 and an additional ������2500 but gob nothing in reborn. At this stage of the story the the question is asked Artie, Where did that fellow get that gold-bearing quartz? and Artie always replies: The Lord only knows.

Grand Forks John li'ogei'3 left for Gold fields last Friday. Six furnaces are now running at the Granby, and the enlargement Discovery of Tin Tin has been found within 100 miles of Vancouver. Such is the startling a-nu uneement made by ,MY. N. Gerhaufc, who with his parbnih* has just returned from a prospecting trip lasting- over two months. 31 r. Gerhaut has-'been prospecting and iii'.nber cruising on this coast for many years. lie has made himself familiar with-the formation- of this section of the earth's crust as well', perhaps-, &���������*. any man who makes a business of seeking for mother earth's treasures. He himself has in the past deprecated the suggestion that tin could be found in this section of the world. Fie did not think that thc standing government reward for the discovery of tin would ever be secured by a British Columbian. Now he is positive that it is within his grasp. The discovery was made on Des olatiou Sound! Naturally Mr. Gerhaut is reticent about going too- far into detail-* as t') location until he and his purtner have complied, with ;-;.ll legal formalities. Mr. Gerhaut spe iks with a slightly Gorman idiom. Speiking of his discovery this miming, he said: "For a long time 1 laugh at the idea ; now I laugh mit it."���������Vancouver World. used tor bo.
