[Copyright, 190������ ���������������v Associated L-iterary J-TfSS.J A man picked his way slowly along the sun baked trail that led westward to Taggart across the desert. It was Blgb noou and the day had been hot ���������and dry and the twin's throat was parched with thirst, l'bls did uot tend to lessen his ferocious aapect nor to soften the anger that glowed In his eyes. It was all due to his visit that morning to the little ranch a few miles behind, for there he had met with the Best failure In his life. Lie had pro- psised and been rejected. It was not Hill Wart-en's nature to be balked by anything, lie usually curried matters his own way and with a high hand, as a result of which he was'looked upon as a sort of local "bud niiin.1' Miit this cognomen was applied to him only by people who did lit>i know Hill. In rt'.'iliiy no better nor kinder nniiircd man than he ever rode Into laggart. llul Sue Patterson was one of those who were not Intimately actpiulnted wiih Warren, and this assertIveness She looked upon as something evil '���������Therefore, ulihnuali otherwise she liked Wiii'i-eii bedel Mian any other of her admirers, she fell Mint she was acting quite rlgin when she rejected his offer of marriage. ' All the consolation that she had given him In answer to his earnest pleading wns that she would put bint on an Indefinite probation and if be came through it with fljing colors why ���������she would Itiink abiiut it. All of which Warren took too literally, and lie thought that she had Bpoken thus only to sot'len her refusal lie became angry at ihe thought of it. She don't cure not bin' fer me," be muttered savagely, "an' 1 know why. It's nil along of that sin-akin' coyote, Ralph Henderson. Heen to Frisco an' Been a few things an' comes out here to lord it over us. I know the brand She's plumb loco over the cuss. too. Lnif he ain't no man. No." be finished spitefully, "he ain't no man." Fie rode on across the desert Id a sort of duller! consciousness, with his bat pulled well down over his eyes At length, toward tlie middle of the afternoon, he came Into the foothills Before him lay the Tooth of Time, ' tbe largest mountain in that vicinity. Beyond It. ten tulles to the westward, wns Taguart. This necessitated bis taking the trail that wound round the slope of I lie mountain. This trail was hardly more ihan a well trodden footpath and was only wide enough to permit a single rider upon it. One side of It sloped up at an angle of almost elgnfy degrees. The other formed the Bide of a precipice that dropped a sheer 200 feet to tbe sandy ravine below. As he rode over the trail, lost In thought. Warren was dead to external Bounds. He did not notice the fidgeting of his horse nor his frightened ���������whinnies. He bad no intimation what ever that any one was approaching along the trail from tlie opposite direction. 'And yet not a hundred feet ahead of him a lit.rse and rider were rounding the curve of the mountain. .Neither noticed the oilier until they were fifty feet apart. Then by some Btrange Intuition both raised their bends. Hecognititin' was mutual and Instantaneous, for the man ahead of .Warren was Ralph Henderson. The faces of boih men paled with lear. Not In years had two men met on that narrow trail, and It seemed eome strange Intervention of destiny thai It should be Warren and Henderson. While the face of the cattleman grew anxious, that of Henderson became quickly overshot with a crafty cunning. "Hello!" be drawled pleasantly. "Hello!" muttered Warren nervously. "Well, what are we going to do about It?" the city man continued. "It" looks as If you'd have to go back." "Not by a ��������� sight!" snapped Warren. "There's no turning about for either of us. We'll have to manage to pass each other. The place seems pretty wide here." "Klip a coin for the Inner side," sug. gesied tbe other, suddenly reaching a band Into his pocket. "Klglit." agreed Wa-ren, "but let's have a look ai it first." Henderson's face turned scarlet nnd be stayed his band. "1 declare, I*m all vut of coin," he rattled sheepishly. "Here's an eagle," replied Warren, with narrow eyes. "Heave her up! Heads I pass on ihe Inside, tails I pass on the outside." He tossed the coin to Henderson as be spoke who, pale faced and hesitating, fumbled with It a moment nnd let it By up Into ihe rir with a twirl ������f a veteran trickster. It fell down on tbe trail at their feet, ringing out clear and cold. "Talis!" cried the city man, overcome with excitement. His face resumed ���������omethlng of Its natural color nnd the old craftiness stole luio his eyes. Warren accepted hi*-* fate nonchalantly, although he knrw that It might Diean death for him. There **������������������",** one thing about it. ht-we-er. that galled ' him. He well knew Mint Henderson was on his way to the Patterson ranch, and It came tc s"mi as 'a rather bitter thought that he "Iglt htire to play the martyr nnd sncrlCre his own life in order ���������thnt the mini,could do fi:**. But wit bout n word he pr/wnd his pony'0 rlht* with his heels and -ode forward. .Henderson had d'luin bis borne ns blose ns lie cou'd against the nixie of tho mountnlr out he speiued over taken bv fun of nervonshps-.. t'ir tbe reins shook In bis hands and Ihe color came and wen I in his dark cheeks, The ledge where'Warren would hare to pass Henderson was somewhat wider than tbe rest of the trull, and be rode forward light hearted and con, lldent thai he would ensily accomplish It l"ii������ Just as be brushed against tbe side of Henderson the latter suddenly drove bla spurs with great force against his horse's ribs. Willi a snort of lerror the animal plunged madly fin ward, dislodging the oilier horse and rider nnd sending them hurtling down and over tbe edge of I he .-precipice. I'hi'ii lie went careening down the slope. The breath went out of Warren as soon as he felt himself falling, and under tbe sickening sensailon that ensued he lost consciousness. A stinging pain in his leg finally awoke hltn. Bruised and bleeding, he now sat up and gazed about him. He hud lauded In the branches of a tree that jutted out from the slope of the mountain. Down below on the sand be could see the form of his borse, dead as a stone. The Qrst thing Warren did was to swear. Then he looked lo his leg. it had been broken Just below the knee., As be started to wrap bis handkerchief about it he heard a sound from above. Over Ihe rim of the precipice a bushy head wns peering. "Hello!" it called. "Kin ye manage ef 1 send down a rope?" "Sure," Warren yelled back. A minute later the end of a lariat came whirling down through space. Warren piught It, marie it fast about his body, and then, clinging lo It with both hands, ordered the man above to hoist away. A few moments later he crawled up over the ledge and lay panting for brealb at old Jem-Patter son's teet. "1 seen the hull thing. Bill," began the latter as he undid ihe rope about the man's body. "Henderson will swing for this or I'll shoot him on sight. I was comiu' along a mite behind him an' I seen him Jnb the buckskin and then scoot." Bui Warren was uncon sclotis before the man finished speaking, and i'aiterson lifted him up on his pony after great dilliculty and started tlown the trail for home. When Warren ne.xl regained con sciousness he was lying on a bed In a dimly lighled room. Soft hands were bandaging his head and sootljing words fell from the lips of their own er. Warren opened his eyes and took In the situation at a glance. "Sue." he demanded Uercely. "has that skunk been here**" "Sh!" she murmured, touching a (in ger to Ills lips. "He has not been here Evidently he has skipped Hip country Father has told me all about It���������the honorable way in which you acted and Henderson's treachery. You have In deed behaved splendidly." "Sue!" cried the man eagerly, start Ing up. "Be quiet." she admonished smilingly. Then she added. "Your probation Is over, and you have come through It nobly." And then Warren claimed his own. WHAT GOOD TASTE MEANS. Never The define. Aggressive or Ruthless of Others' Feelings, term good taste is hard to Builder of the Great Wall of Chit.a. To superstitious notions Chin add-d the lust of luxury, his life being a blaze of oriental niagtiilicetice. He built a wonderful paiace. which has been described In the lni'serial History as having certain gorgeous annexes attached at intervals, the whole extending over a distance ot a hundred miles. In consetpieiice of.Ills life of luxury perhaps he became more and more a prey to superstition, and it may be that because ol tins lie completed the (.'real wall. At any rate, history records that he was informed by prophecy that in time he would be over whelmed and destroyed' by outside enemies. So be moliili/.ed an army of 3u(J.<'00 men to work on tbe Great wall aud If necessary to tight In Its behalf. Chin's design evidently was to inclose his massive empire In a rampart which should have the shape of a horseshoe, with Ihe heel calks at the ocean shore. He did not plan to parallel the coast with a wall, doubt less considering that seaside an ample protection to a country vast and deuse- ly populated. The wall Is not for modern use. It is an ancient fossil, tbe largest fossil on the eartb. Bui fossils are useful and truthful. It is a dividing line between two civlllza tlotis and between two eras, in space It cut off the herdsmen of the north from the tillers of the south.-William Edgar (Jell In Harper'*", For instance, a woman has ijood taste, who wearing a crimson hat on red hair, and unconscious that the colors of her frock fight and that a flat coiffure is hopelessly unbecoming to square jaws, could never be guilty of we;ring a diamond necklace over a shirt waist, directoire gowns exaggerated to indecency, or soiled finery and 'frocks that are not in keeping with her income. Good taste frowns or. lavish display, even when money is not an object; it forbids personalities in public places, loud tnlkin*? or laughing at any ti?rv.*; it puts the ban on being conspicuous. Good taste is never argumentative, unduly aggressive or ruthless of others' feelings. To needlessly wound, to patronize, even to be gushinglv kind, are impossible to one who has an inner sense of propriety. There are people whose favors we scorn merely because a lack of delicacy in offering them hurts our self-respect. Good taste frowns on malicious scandal and hesitates to repeat even a witticism if it carries a personal sting. Nor does it smile on showy talk and a monopoly of conversation. There is small taste in a faultlessly furnished home out of keeping with one's income. A French drawing room for which the hills are unpaid after months of dunning is bad taste. So also is a luncheon, which one can uot afford to give, though its every appointment would sot connoisseurs ������gog. Good taste in its truest senae is an innate sense of fitness. Possessed of it we need not fear proprieties being outraged, though social training may be slight. The woman who has really good taste never jars. Instinctively she says the right thing and could, not be guilty of thoughtless rudeness. Good taste never boasts, avoids daunting, never parades superior advantages, is reticent even* to a fault about happenings and honors in her life that others have not shared. A CANINE HERO. Brief Proper Names. In the Zuyder Zee there is a bay called Y; and Amsterdam has 'the river Y ; while, strange to say, in quite another part of the earth, in China, the same brief name is given to a town. Elsewhere in the Flowery Kingdom, in the province of Honan, there is a city called U, and in France there is a river, and in Sweden a town, rejoicing in the name of A. Proper names of this brief nature are r.ot, however, monopolized by places; instances are on record where individuals have been ' similarly named. Some years ago there was a shop kept on the Rue de Louvan, Brussels, by Theresa 0, and there is a Madame 0 in Paris who is well known as the proprietor of a popular cafe. An amusing incident is recounted in connection with the impressment into the military service of the son ���������>f one of the members of the 0 family. The young man could not write, sind so signed. his name on the military papers with a cross, it not occurring to him or to any of the officials how easily he could have written his name. Why She Was Glad. A young Louisville man who was out west uot long ago has returned, telling a yarn which be admits ls not at his own expense, but which he declares to be about one of the most Interesting experiences of even bis checkered career. "I was walking along the street In a western town." he said, "when sud denly across the way I saw a Louis ville girl whom I recognized Immedi ately. She saw me, too. and I exiiect ed her to bow rather coolly and distantly, as had been her wont back home. I was considerably astonished, therefore, when she dashed across the street, seized me with both bands and fairly bubbled over "in her delight. I was so surprised. In fact, that I com mented on it " Tin glad to see yon. too,' I said when 1 had mnnnged to cstrlente myself from her exuberant greeting 'but. to tell you the truth. I hadn't expected to see you so excited over my appearance. You always treated me rather a la Iceberg at borne, you know.

Vandals In St. Peter's Let no one say that it is only, or chiefly, the Englishman who, climbing Alps, crawling into belfries, creeping into caverns, or invading tombs'and churches, writes Robinson on any inches ol available plain surface. Wandering down the nave of St. Peter's, writes a correspondent, I paused at the great gates of the choir chapel, because parts of .the spaces between the uprights are fitted with glass, and this glass had a strange look of "grisailie." It need hardly be said that the Renaissance architecture takes no note of windows, and St. Peter's .is lighted throughout by perfectly plain uncolor- '���������d glass in square panes. Therefore this ancient looking darkened gray glazing called for inspection. Its de- s'oration proved to be the names- names, of all tribes and tongues, scratched upon every inch of the glass as far as hand could reach, crossing each other, effacing each ���������ther, with every impertinence of slourish of whicli handwriting is capable, and, with the names of fools, :he dates of their folly. T*he Story of Scotch, an Obedient and Loyal Dog. A most interesting as well as a most pathetic dog story is related by Enos A. Mills in liis book, "Wild Life on the Rockies." Mr. Mills and his dog Scotch were on a four days' tramp on the summit of a -desolate and lofty range far above the timber line, and Mr. Mills stopped to take some photographs. The work required that he should remove his sheepskin mittens, which he placed in his coat pocket. The story follows: From-time to time as I climbed the summit of the continental divide I stopped to take photographs,'but on the summit the cold pierced my silk gloves, ancl I felt for my mittens, to find that one of them was lost. T stopped, put an arm around Scotch, and told him I had lost a mitten and that I wanted him to go down for it to snv-5 nie trouble. Instead of starting off willingly, as he had. invariably done before in obedience to my commands, he stood still. I thought he had misunderstood me, so 1 patted him and then, pointing down' thc slope, said: "Go for the mitten, Scotch. I will wait here for you." He started for it, but went unwillingly. He had always served me so cheerfully that I could not understand, ancl it was not until late the next afternoon that I realized that he had loyally and at the risk of his life tried to obey me. My cabin, 18 miles away, was the nearest house,, and the region was utterly wild. I waited a reasonable time for Scotch to return, but he did not come back. As it was late in the afternoon ancl growing colder, I decided to go on toward my cabin along a route that I felt sure he would follow, and I reasoned, that he would overtake me. When at midnight he had not come 1 felt something- was wrong. ��������� I slept two hours and decided to go to meet him. The thermometer showed 14 below zero. I kept on going, and at 2 in the afternoon, 24 hours after I had sent Scotch back, I paused on a crag and'looked below. There in the snowy world of white he lay by the mitten in the snow. He had misunderstood me and had gone back to guard the mitten instead of to get it. After waiting for him to eat a luncheon we started merrily toward home, where we arrived at 1 o'clock in the morning. Had I not returned,' I suppose Scotch would have died beside the mitten. In a region cold, cheerless,' oppressive, without food and perhaps to die, he l.iy down by the mitten because he understood that I told him to. In the annals of dog heroism I know of no greater deed. Lingering Belief In Magic. The man in the country knows better than to offend the occult-powers by "cutting them dead," an offence which soon bears, its own punishment. In Devonshire to this day, when someone is afflicted with what is known as "a white leg," a bandage is put on the leg, and "the following formula is repeated .nine times, each' time followed by the Lord's "Prayer": As Jesus Christ was walking He saw the Virgin Mary sitting on a cold marble stone. He said unto her: "If it is a white ill thing, or a red ill thing, or a black ill thing, or a sticking, cracking, pricking, stabbing, bone ill thing, or a sore ill thing, or a swelling ill thing, or a rotten ill thing, or a cold creeping ill thing, or a smarting ill thing���������let it fall from thee to the earth in My Name, and in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.���������Amen."���������' Occult Review.

The most essentia*! thing In sea Ashing, next to tackle and bait, la a tide table, because all marine fishes ex- "ept the flatfish���������flounder aud fluke- are captured more-readily at a.certain tide.

Vast schools of little"*- fishes move close into shore on the Incoming tide, working their, way. into the smaller bays and lulets, especially near the edge of banks, where they feed on the.small,crustaceans, shrimps and little minnows that'can effectually hide from their larger enemies when the tide is low and the large fish are unable to get at them in very shoal "waters. - *.��������� It Is a common arid interesting sight to see- a school ��������� of wealtfisb slowly moving in" near the surface with the early tide.

Some Ways In Which He Differs From the Fashionable Pets. The common livery stable dog Is totally unlike the "powder puff" or "toots and skigunis" dog, but his disposition is infinitely better. To lie on a cushion and growl and snap at the hand that would caress it Is considered the height of,folly in the livery stable variety. The livery stable dog approaches you ingratiatingly aud offers you a dirty paw to shake. After you have shaken ll he solemnly gives you the other. Then he crawls up" iu your lap and licks you on the mouth. The livery stable canine is a most industrious digger of holes. The theory is that he is going to lie down in the bole he digs, but he does no such thing. He goes and lies down right in the middle of the sidewalk, where people will have to step over him. He will never get out of anybody's way. lie even lies down Iu the middle of the street and tries to make, carts, wagons and automobiles avoid him. He doesn't enjoy as large a vocabulary as the powder puff or skigums dog. A phrase like "Does urns want urn's itty bass?" would scare him to death. His advantages have not been such as to acquaint him with such hifalutin talk, but he does know a few* simple phrases like "Git to blazes out of here, you darned pest!" He uuder- stands that perfectly. The American Youth. If the truth were told most young ,i.mericau men are uot especially interesting. They do not keep up their reading. They have a national oh- tundity when it comes to music, to art. to literature, nor do many of them take any of these things at all seriously. The young among them are-uot good conversationalists. Our cleverest' men are monologists pure and simple. They lecture admirably. They are boru orators along modified linos. They are inevitable story tellers. None of this is conversation, aud women like conversation, like its courtesies, which at least pretend a little interest when their turn comes In the game. Knowledge of people and affairs outside our own country pricks more than one bubble about our young men.���������Anna A. Kogers in Atlantic.

'Every sufferer from, rheumatism wants to be,cured and to stay cured. The prospect of the frequent return of the trouble" is not attractive to anybody who h'as gone through one siege. Most treatments aim simply to "keep down" the rheumatic poisons in the blood. The tonic treatment by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills has proved by hundreds of cures that it builds up the blood to a point that enables it, to cast out these poisons through the regular channels of excretion���������the bowels, the kidneys and the skin. When this issdone the rheumatism is permanently cured, and as long as the blood is kept pure and rich the patient will be free from rheumatism. Mr. Thomas McNeil, Richibucto, N.B., says���������"Permit me to bear testimony to the worth of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a cure for acute rheumatism. My son, Frederick, was subject to this painful trouble for a period of eight or ten years, and during this time periodical attacks would regularly occur. His last attack was a most severe one, and the pains were excruciating in the extreme, shooting through the various parts of his body to sucli an extent that even thc approach of any person would cause him to cry out with fear, and he had rest neither day or night. Our family doctor, a man of skill and experience, applied many remedies without avail and could give no encouragement other than that the warmer weather then approaching might prove beneficial. Just at this time we noticed where some person similarly afflicted had been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and decided to try them. He kept on using thc Pills, each succeeding box shoving improvement, until he had taken ten boxes, when all pains and aches had completely disappeared, and although his mode of life is that of a fisherman, and consequently exposed to both wet and cold, he has had no' return of any of the symptoms whatever. The cure is complete, and is entirely due to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." You can get these Pills from any medicine dealer or they will be sent by mail nt 50 cents a box or six boxc6 for $2.50 by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. TYROLEAN MARKSMEN.

"Write National Drug & Chemical Co., (Dopf., N.U.) Toronto, for free samples. Regular size, 50c; G for ?2.C0, Peasant Sharpshooters and the Way They Are Trained. Some idea of the accuracy of a Tyrolean crack shot may be gathered from the fact that unless he can, standing, put five successive bullets into a,space that can be covered by a half crown piece at 200 yards he considers himself in very poor form. Even then his score may be only 20 out of a possible 30. A poor shot, though a man who can get on the 12-inch bull every time, may find himself credited with a paltry five or six. It is disheartening work for a novice, even if he has not done so badly at Bisley in former days and proudly sported the marksman's crossed rifles on, his volunteer tunic. That this fancy shooting���������there is no better name for it���������does not spoil the Tyrolese peasant for military rifle shooting is amply' demonstrated when we witness an Imperial rifle regiment on parade. It would seem as if every man wore the green velvet balls dangling on his breast, the Austrian Army badge of marksmanship. But, excellent weapon as is the Austrian Mannlicher rifle, it is of little use at the tiny targets of the national shooting runges. Tho writer has had ample opportunity of studying the Tyrolese peasant marksman at home. Every village or cluster of villages has its own rifle range, run by the village council, and controlled by the state. Membership is not obligatory, but there is on subscription attached to it, and, once a member, the peasant may use any rifle range throughout the country. A further privilege is granted him after the completion of his three years' military service���������namely, that one of the annual three weeks' trainings with the colors as reservist is remitted to the Standeschutz, or member of tho National Rifle Club. This is also an exclusive Tyrolese privilege. When a youth reaches the age of 18 he must attend the nearest rifle range, whether he is a member or not', and fire a certi.in number of shots. And later," if he is passed for military service, he must again fire a certain number of rounds as conscript ere he joins his regiment. The regimental authorities thus know the shooting possibilities of each recruit, and these preliminary tests are carried out with the service rifle, of which every range must possess a few. Weather permitting, every range is open for practice on Sunday throughout the year from 11 a.m. till sundown. Ammunition is supplied at cost price, but most marksmen prefer to supply their own cartridges, which they fill themselves. The clerk of the range enters every score oh an official sheet, and a nominal charge of four hellers (less than a halfpenny) is made for each shot entered therein. This pays for,the upkeep of the range, the markers, etc. An additional zest is given by a weekly Gnade.ngabe (gift of grace) from the Government, whereby. the top scorers of the day receive two or three shillings each as a prize. The older men and crack shots, however, seldom compete for these small prizes and give their younger and poorer comrades a chance to pay their day's shooting expenses���������Reginald Wyon, in Chambers' Journal.

Parliamentary repartee was ably upheld by Lord Brougham, especially during the great reform debates of tlie last century. On one occasion, when anti-reformers were trying to howl him down by imitating the sounds made by various animals, among which the braying of the ass was most recurrent, he waited for a pause and then remarked imperturb- ably that by a wonderful disposition of nature every animal h.'.d its peculiar mode of expressing itself and he was too much of a philosopher to quarrel with any of those modes. This was no less severe than the famous libel on the Earl of Limerick, calling him "a thing with human pretensions," which appeared in The Times in 1S31 and for which the printer was fined $500 and confined for an indefinite period in Newgute.���������Loudon Chronicle. Has the veil of mystery that has so long shrouded the ancient sciences becn raised at last? Can it be that a system lias becn perfected that reveals with reasonable accuracy the character and disposition of an individual, and so outlines the life as to assist in avoiding errors and taking advantage of opportunities? Roxroy, a man who has for twenty years been delving into the mysteries of the occult, making a scientific study of the various methods of reading the lives of people, seems to have reached a higher round in the ladder of fame than his predecessors.' Letters arc pouring into his office from all parts of the world telling of the benefits derived from his advice. Many of his patrons look upon him as a man 'gifted - with some strange, mysterious power, but he modestly asserts that what he accomplishes is due alone to an understanding of natural laws. ��������� "*' He is a man of kindly feeling toward humanity, and his manner and tone immediately impress one with his sincere belief in his work. A huge stack of-grateful letters from people who have received readings from him adds to other convincing proof as to his ability. Even Astrologers and Palmists admit that his system surpasses anything vet introduced. The Rev. G. C. H. Haskarl, Ph.D., of St. 'Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church, in a letter to Prof. Roxroy, says: "You are certainly the greatest specialist and master of your profession.

I Merchant.-* of the Northwest' look forward to the largest Christmas business season that has ever been known. The last statement of banking institutions submitted I to the government shows that there is more money on deposit in this part of the country than ever before. Marked gains are shown in the November report over September. And the best of it is that all the money for the 1909 crops have not yet come in. The statement also shows an increase in loans, indicating business expansion; whereas the money, centers in the east have been calling in their accounts, because of local conditions, therefore it can be seen that the people of the Northwest have money to spend for Christmas. ��������� HKBs>-aima's-- Tnmnri*>iii-nm-iTni 'Dealer in Coal, Wood, Ties, Poles,,etc.;;Heavy Teaming ��������� - to any part of the Ptetrict.... -.;.''

It is a book containing 80 illustrations all told, and is filled with sketches and stories of western life. It tells how a gambler cashed in after the flush days of Sandon ; how it rained in New Denver long after Noah was dead ; how a parson took a drink at Bear Lake in early days ; how justice was dealt in Kaslo in '93; how the saloon man outprayed tho women in Kalamazoo, and graphically depicts the roamings of a western editor among tho tender- feet in the cent belt. It contains the early history of Nelson and a romanco of the Silver King mine. In it are printed three western poems, and dozens of articles too numerous to mention. Send for one beforo it ia too late. Tlio price is 25 cents, postpaid to any part of tiie world. Address all letters to T. Lowery GREENWOOD, B. C. Hard to Reach. Alfred Yiolette claims to have found the .greatest deposit of mica in the world. It is in the Peace River canyon and inaccessible. This is what he says : "The mica lay in great sheets which I could pull up with my hands and which, standing on end, were as broad as I am tall. " But thpre it lies and will continue to lie worthless as a pile of dirt until some railway company with millions at its back penetrates the granite walls. I do not think a railway will ever be bnilt from the eastern side. It would cost too much to cut the line through the thirty miles of canyon to the mica deposits. What is the use of staking any claims ? You could not pack enough of the mica out on your back to mafce it worth while, and it would be impossible to perform your assessment duties on your claims. "The only way I think the mica could be reached by railway would be up over the Griscombe portage from the Tete Jaunc Cache and along the Parsnip or in through the Yukon from Dawson." Don't worry about something that you think may happen tomorrow because you may die tonight, and tomorrow will find you beyond the reach of worry. Don't worry over a thing that happened yesterday, because yesterday is a hundred years away. If you'don't I believe it just try to reach after it and bring it back. Don't worry about anything that is happening today, because today will last only 15 to 20 minutes. Don't worry about things you can't help, because then there is no need to worry. Don't worry at all. If you wanfe;to be penitent now and then it won't hurt you a bit, it will do you good. But worry, worry, worry, fret, fret���������why, there's neither sorrow, penitence, strength, penance, reformation \ hope nor resolution in it. It's mere worry. OHARACTERISTICS OF VEINS.

Gkti.emeIv : At your request I have made,a careful examination of the Starve Out mine and I beg to submit the following report : The Starve Out mine is situatod in Skylark' camp near Boundary creek, in the Greenwood Mining Division of Yale district, British Columbia. . Tlio property consists of three mineral claims, the "Starve Out Fraction," the " Km press Fraction," and,the ''.Mayflower." ; -ACCESSIMMTY. The property is'reached from the City "of Greenwood by a good wagon road. and ;sidewalk. Part of the property, lies within the limits- of the city. The shipping point on the C- P. railway is about 750 feet from the- mine, as the C. P. R. passes the west- side of tin**- property. It is, about 1000 f.vt distant, opposite, and higher up than the B. C. Copper company's smelter, and the oro could be delivered by a bucket tram from the portal of th? tunnel. FORMATION PKESEXT DEVELOPMENT. Theieare two shifts of men working at present, with a blacksmith convenient, ore cars'! &nr] rails, and the ground prepared to install a compressor. The tunnel is now in more than 225 feet, 6 feet wide and 7 feet high, and shows indications of mineral and will crosscut three veins before striking the vein shown in No. 1 shaft. The installation of a~compressor would greatly accelerate and lessen the cost~"of constructing the tunnel. ' REMARKS. Judging from the amount oflore shipped from snch mines as tbe Skylark, Providence, Gold_ Bug, Strathmore, Silver Cloud, Elkhorn and others, all within a radius of ������- mile and in the same formation, being parallel veins, the company in my opinion has undoubtedly one of the most promising mines as exposed in the three shafts above mentioned.
