There, is, however, a ferry at Nighthawk which will permit driving between Keremeos and Night- without the climb over Richter's pass, which always made the drive to Oroville a difficult one.

Failed to Put up The case of Munroe Archibald vs. Knight and Nouak was recently decided by Mr. Justice Morrisson, sitting in the supreme court at Vancouver. It seems that Archibald got a sixth interest in tin1 famous Transvaal group of six mineral claims in Highland Lake district, south of Ashcroffc. In the bill of sale the date of location anil the recording were mnitto'd. and he evidently thought that this Haw would aid him to evade the payment of his portion of the assessment work. Archibald was advertised Mr. Novak for failinic to contribute his share i>f the assessment work from 1890 till 1!K)4 when the crown gran f..s were being applied for. At no time did he adverse any of the claims of the advertisements, although the grants were beiug , secured by Messrs. Novak, Knight and Hos- kins. Archibald claimed that the reason that he did not contribute his share of the assessment work because the defendeuts failed to render him a bill for the work done; he claimed that iu the. advertisement that the sum charged against him was larger than it should have been. On the other hand, the defendants claimed in the advertisement that they expended ������109, all they desired was for him to pay his share of this which he failed to do. Following is the text of Mr. of Mr. Justice Morrison's decision: The defendant has wholly failed to substantiate his claim herein I find that he failed to contribute his portion of the assessment work upon the claims iii question. I also find that he was aware of the condition of affairs throughout; that the deleudants were performing the work and urging him to contribute his share, aud that he 'aI was delinquent and knew that he wus in consequence of being advertised out; that he either attached little or no importance to his interest in these claims, or appreciating their value, sought to evade contributing owing to the alleged flaw in the bill of salp, or the failure, which he claimed, on the part of the defendants to render a detailed statement of the amount of his proportion. I find that the defendant acted in a bona fide manner throughout ancj con- plied substantially with the mineral act. The action is dismissed with costs.

He will visit the camp accompanied by an expert mining engineer, who will examine the mine on behalf of those willing to finance the enterprise, and if his report is favorable the bond will he at once taken up. < A considerable amount of work has been done on the Tenderfoot and' the ore hap been proved to carry, high values. Should the deal go through, and the outlook is moat promising for its materialization, the raining-industry in this district will receive a timely stimulus. Arrangements are being made by Mr. Croft for re-oDening the Pothook. Several adjoining claims have been acquired, and on one of tliose, the Iron Vault, it is intended to sink a 300-foot shaft. The outcrop on the Iron "Vault and other claims in the group now included in the Pothook property is a large vein of magnetite. A" shaft has been sunk some distance on the vein aud the magnetite is being gradually replaced by copper pyrites. There is an 18-foofc vein in the old 'Pothook carrying 5 p?r cent, copper and ������-i in ^old and silver.

He had confidence in the judge, but little intherail- rbad, aud he pondered the query in his mind, why the railroad gave the judge 8500 a year'for nothing. He finally concluded that the railroad must know what it was about, and ho sat down and wrote the judge the following letter : Dear Judge���������i am told that you carry an annual paps over the Bur- liugton railroad.'. As near as lean figure it, this pass is worth to you about $500 a year.. _ I don't believe tluit this will influence you in favor of the railroads against me in my case, hut to be on equal footing with the railroad, I enclose my check for ������500.

It is ill put together, too, said the angel. The parts do not fit. I never had any eye for proportion, 6aid the man, I admit it is unfortunate. . Tho whole thing is a botch, said the angel. You have put neither brains nor heart into it, and the result is a ridicuious failure. What do you propose to do about it? I credited you with more comprehension, said the man. My faults, such as they are, were born with me. I am sorry that you do not approve of me, but this is the way I was made ; do you see ? I see ! said the angel. He put out a strong white hand, and, taking the man by tue collar, tumbled him neck and crop into the ditch. What is the meaning of this? cried the man, as he scrambled out breathless and dripping.
