... M TOL.H. NO. 43. SANDON, B. C, SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 1898. PRICE FIYE CENTS. I Lee Says Half' the Reconcentrados Starved to Death. . , Washington, April 11��������� The consular correspondence with regard to the situation in Cuba which waa transm;tted to-day, was prepared in response to resolutions of enquiry, adopted by both .the Senate and House. The correspondence includes commurications up to April 1. It covers the movements of General Lee at Havana ; Consul Mc- Garr at Oienfugoes, Consul Brice' at Matanzas, Consul Hyatt at Sagua de Cuba and Barker at Sagua La Grande- The . communications made about ,60,000 words. They deal largely with distress and suffering which exists in all the districts, but General Lee repor's quite fully upon the decrees of the government with regard to autonomy and other political phases of the situation. In preparing the correspondence 'for transmission to Congress, considerable portions of the important communications and especially those .marked "confidential" are omitted. now. The rainy season will' soon be at hand and Spain's troops'would like an armistice until it is oyer. "We shall throw away no advantage. On the other hand I am anxious that hostilities should cease, but'it must be ������nce for all. If Spain agrees to evacuate Cuba, taking her flag with her; I am willing to ligrce to an armistice to last until October 1, when loyal Cubans shall come into their own. , "Please tell President McKinley this for me ; tell him, too, that I am writing this at the direction of the Cuban provisional government, with which they may treat directly, should they so desire."

November 27, General Lee sent to the department, the communications of two gentlemen, whose names, he says, are suppressed for obvious reasons, but whom he knows' personally as standing high in the community j concerning the condition in los lbsos (the ditches) in Havana. The communication says among other things'- "Four hundred and sixty women and children thrown on the ground, heaped pell mell as animals, some in a dying condition, others sick, others dead, without the slightest cleanliness or the least help, not ablo%tq .give, water to the thirsty, .without^5 religious or social help, each one dying wherever chance laid him." The communication goes on to state that the deaths among the' reconcentrados averaged 40 to 50 daily, and that on an average there were but 10 days of life for each person. It says that these unhappy creatures received food .- only after having been eight days in the ditches, during which time they were obliged to subsist upon the bad food which the dying had refused. Some horrible instances of distress witnessed are given. "Among thc many we saw,'' says the communication, "there was seen' one impossible to forget. There is still alive thc only witness, a young girl of IS, whom we found seemingly, lifeless on the ground. "On her right side was tho bod} of the young "mother, cold and rigid, but whose young, child was still alive clinging to her breast.On her left side was the corpse of.a dead .woman, holding her kon in a dead embrace. A little further on a dying woman, holding in her arms her dauShter of 14, crazed with pain, who, after \2 or 14 days, died in spite of the care she received." Further along the communication .���������says that if any young girl came in -who'w.as nice looking, she was infallibly, condemned to', the most abomin- ;.-al)jle of traffic. The communication ���������says that 1,700 persons had entered the fosos since August 1, and- of these but .233 were then living. It places the .. numher of deaths among the recoh- .cetrados at 77 per cent. \ - ������������������' ������������������'��������� t. ��������� HALF STARVES TO DEATH. ^December 14, General Lee sent an- _ be a demand for it, but not on Noble Five ore for at least-12 months. Shipping ore-taken out during development will be held and concentrating ore will be stored in the stopes and chutes, which it is estimated will hold 30,000 tons. The fact that money can be obtained to pull a silver mine out of a bad hole, in spite of the low market for the metal, is an encouraging item for the owners of Slocan mines. Mining men generally commend the action of the Noble Five people in determining to make a mine of the property before undertaking.to make profits. The saving of the expense of long and tedious litigation is another matter of congratulation. The news that troubles are at an end will be especially gratifying to Spokane holders of Noble Five stock, who are many." . One of the perils of gold seeking in tho Klondyke but little mentioned is tho dreadful snow slide. A telegram from Skagivay of the 3rd inst. says that that day an avalanche of snow and ice came down on Chilcoot pass that buried from 100 to 200 persons.' The latest is that over 70 bodies have been recovered, a partial list of which we give elsewhere, and about 150 more are missing. In fact the extent of the fatalities may never be known, as those sent to' eternity are from all parts of the world, and business is in such a state up there that but little is cared for the loss of strangers. In any event a great many bodies will not be found until out in the summer when the snow and ice are melted. No record is kept ot the toiling masses of humanity in that region on the hunt for gold, so there is but little to guide an enquirer in making an estimate of death's destruction. It appears that just before the large slide two or three smaller masses camcdoii'i.; but the country is not well enough known to have a history in that respect. It is reported that Mr. Bissell, late manager of the Paystreak, who left here some six or eight weeks ago to seek his fortune in that inhospitable region,.. is among the dead. From appearances the city improvements on the creek ought to stand a heavy tussle with the elements, though a heavy tu.������sle is the hiovitable. The intuition is to flume the creek from the back of Bj ens' store���������and ev\ ut- ually further up���������to the powerhouse with a raceway 7x12, whioh, having a fall of nearly 10 per cent., will give lhe current a speed of neatly 20 miles an hour. This will carry nil" an immense body of water and be a ver.y dangerous place to fall into, even with a foot or so of water, and much more so in a , freshet. Thc gate at the head is so constructed as to afford ample protection from boulders and timbers coming down, which will be reduced to a minimum if the government only do their duty in clearing the creek to the Cody bridge. If this flume be planked, eventually, it will make a nice street and will reclaim considerable land, or, at least, lengthen many lots consid er erably. As the freshets will soon set in the work will have to be abandoned shortly till the fall. There is one thing the provincial Board of Health must be assured of��������� this will make a most efficient* main sewer to drain the city, and with the current it will have will correct the consequences of drainage in a very short run. All who are up in sanitary matters know that with a swift current through soils, as this stream will have after leaving the flume, water speedily purifies itself; and, with the infiujc of a large body of fresh water from up streams all the time, no dangerous elements can appear in it atany point in the entire length of the flume. This work properly done and the city properly drained into it,-with our supply of the,purest water from up the hill sides, Sandon will remain, as it Is now, the most healthy place in the whole province.

Mr. Warner, who has a two years' lease of the Argo,. from operations so far, is well pleased with his venture. All told the three tunnels run in aggregate some 500 feet in length, and the fourth one lower down will be commenced shortly. In the second level they are putting in a crosscut and ,have encountered a breast of good ore from 8 to IS inches in width, that is certain to.assay well. It is the intention to prosecute work on the upper level just above the K. and S. Cody branch, commenced, and from it ship directly on to the cars saving all the cost of packing. Mr. Warner is confident further work will develop a valuable property. The mine will always have one advantage as shipping charges will be but a trifle. The following inf resting letter has been received from an old Kasloite, William Matheson,who will be remembered as one of the first to leave the Slocan for that vastly overrated region, known as the Klondyke. "Billy," as he was familiarly known, has apparently no very flattering idea of the Yukon gold fields, and the cold liard facts contained in his letter should have a healthy effect upon such readers as are smitten with that grim disease known as "Klondicitis." Through the kindness of Mr. Hughy Fletcher, the communication is given to the public: ���������Kootenaian. Rampart City, Alaska. January 2,1898. Dear Friend :���������I have baen thinking of writing you for quite awhile, but could not find any reliable information to give you about this great and glo ious eonntry. Alaska, in -my opinion' from what I have seen and heard of, .will lake care of itself, and is a pretty good placf to stay away from. Before Klondyke was lound there was nothing but starvation he-re, and 1 think it would be pretty nearly right, for the old timeis here, as they call themselves, il it were to blow a good stifi'breeze.and blow^them out of existence. - .'","' I am at present in a boom mining camp called Minook. .I'should judge from what can learn here, that you will know more about it than I do, aa I hear it is pretty well advertised in the papers now. But as I am right here I have a good chance to know everything that is going on. There are about 1,500 locations in this vicinity on different creeks, and , on only three claims in the whole works that they are taking pay out so far. The rest are all dead, waiting for the sucker to come in this summer to buy. But I think they will get left. '��������� I It is no trouble to get an interest in a claim at present; all they ask is from ten to twenty days' ��������� work. ; I think it is too cheap, and I will keep my work. There is no show to earn an honest dollar at all. The only show that a man has is to go to work and take all the chances, and: the other fellow takes none. In the first place you have to build your own cabin, furnish your cooking outfit and stove, furnish your own tools to work with and your own candles and grub, and and in return you get one dollar per hour, with only a chance to work five hours per day at. present, and then take chances of getti-.g your money out of the dump in the spring; and I think right here that a man'will i quit, loser if he is not careful. Yours truly; ' W. Mataeson. With Scissors and Pen. The Enterprise mine has 2,000 tons of ore awaiting shipment. The indications are the Mollic Hughes mine near New Denver is likely to turn out a very good property. On the Mountain View and Blue Jay, at the head of Silver Tip creek, from eight to ten inches of clean ore is exposed A force of men was put to work last week on the Mollie Hughes. The de-, velopment so far shows a ledge of high ' grade ore. A large force of men will be . put to work on the Porto Rico mine near Ymir as soon as the snow goes off the mountains. News has been received of several , rich strikes on Trout lake properties. On the Free Coinage a ledge of fourteen inchps of fine ore'has been struck. A deal on the Lone Star, on Lexington creek, was made the other day when Edward Crockett disposed of the claim to J. A. Magee for $1,508 cosh. On the Ottawa, a Lardeau creek claim ore is being taken out, an average assay of which gives 460 ounces of silver, $33 in gold, and 10 per cent, copper.' ��������� ... Darby & Erririgton, owners of the Iron Hand group at Albert canyon have sent seven sacks of ore as a test to the Nelson smelter. It is a galena proposition. The most recent dividend in London from Kootenay mines is that of the Ruth mines, limited, which will pny 3 shillings per share and carry forward ������7,000 out of a profit of ������21,000. The operatiens at the Hall Mines smelter for the weekending April 2, show 7,437 tons of ore to ha^e been smelted, yielding 357 tons of matte, containing approximately 156 , tons copper; 111,420 ozs. silver and 272 ozs. gold. The Dundee Mining company has just let a contract for furnishing material for a three line gravity tramway. The company will erect trestles and instal a tramway. The tramway is to connect the minewith the concentra- , tor. Tenders have been "called for .the construction of a concentrator and they will be opened in a day or two. J. B.

The drift on the seventh level, at a depth of 340 feet, cut the ore chute in the Dardanelles, in the Slocan divison, last week, and encountered a splendid body of high grade pre. At one time 'during the la8t;week four feet of clean ore appeared in the face, and yesterday the drift was in two feet of the same heart cheering material. This ore is higher grade, and contains much less zinc than in the drift above, or in fact at any other point in the mine, showing great improvement -with', depth. The lead is fully four feet in width, with two smooth, well defined walls. Ore is now coming out at the rate of a car per week. Manager Tretheway reports that he is more than pleased with the showing.and says that this instance of improvement as depth is obtained, together with the recent strike on the ' the Whitewater Deep at a depth of 1,000 feet, means a great deal to the country.

The correspondent says that Blair violently sat on Tarte, declaring that dissolution just now would be suicidal, and was supported in this by the Ontario members of the cabinet. The Ottawa correspondent of La Piresse says, "The ministers are in a dilemma over the Yukon railway bill. A majority of tbe cabinet will," he says, "have nothing to do with it; yet this doesiiiot satisfy Sifton and Sutherland, who are sworn.friends ������f Mann and Mackenzie, and it did not take them long to prepare another scheme, which they will press to issue at all hazards.

It is more than likely there will be some kind of a compromise between the Federal government and the Senate through which a railway on some route will be built to the Klondyke. We hope that whatever terms may be agreed on, they will involve no financial burdens on the people of Canada. It is now conceded, in well informed circles, that beyond booming the com-; mercial business of the boomsters in the coast cities, and making money for the transportation companies, there never was a necessity for commencing the construction of such a railway. In thc Yukon region there is no country to settle, and no occupations for any one beyond mining; and sanguine indeed must be the man who believes that one-half the money in gold will be taken out of that region, that will be spent one way and thc other by those who have gone in search of it. It is a south sea bubble over again, and will terminate as disastrously for all but u. few of those interested in it.: The result so far has convinced the government of one thing���������they went at the undertaking without proper consideration, that before letting even a conditional contract, they should have submitted it to parliament. The argument of urgency is now all scattered to the four winds of the earth, as they are just where they commenced, so far as the validity of a contract with the contractors is concerned. Dispassionately viewing the whole question, the government were to blame for entertaining a proposition of such a character without first getting more evidence on the wealth of the country to be served by the railway. Granting that those parts explored by Mr. Ogilvie are as rich in gold as he says they are, but of which there is no indisputable evidence, as he saw but little of the country, he could not give thc necessary assurance for commencing an undertaking like that���������one calculated to disturb not only mining operations in all parts of the globe, but other classes of business in all portions of the British possessions, and lead thousand to rush to their financial and physical destruction. It is .quite apparent that all who have encouraged thc stampede to that country have much to answer for, and, in the number, all that so hastily supported the construction of the Mackenzie and Mann railway. in any town is commendable; but it should not be encouraged so far as to condone even wholesale robbery. Even Brother Jonathan has come to the conclusion thatmight fe not always right, and that even a powerful state cannot strangle a small one with impunity, but must be goverfled by the recognized laws, and usages of civilization. When this Cuban trouble first came into prominence, the United States, gave ��������� Spain just' twenty-four hours;,in which' to settle or die,, next it was found a couple of days were necessary, later that a week was required; and now .from appearances Spain is given her own time to set her house right. No one denies that Spain has treated Cuba harshly; but from ; the way things are going the 'TJ. S. are. coming to the conclusion they cannot jump at the throat of the former without observing acknowledged formalities, and the ordinary laws of nations governing such matters; For . a long time Turkey had' treated Roumania very badly, and'it was, often thought Great Britain should have stepped in and annihilated, Turkey; but '.Great Britain,,kne\v the laws and usages of nations too well to'interfere before interference was justified, and we fancy that in this Cuban afiair America is coining to the same conclusion. First impulse, is not. is not always the best; second thought may avert a conflict altogether. , .. ��������������� now it wili have to rest content with a more moderate share of .glory as other places.have to do. , An English cable to the Montreal Star advises no one to go to the; Klondyke .with less than $1,560.., That is good as far as it goes; but why not advise those with that much capital to invest if in West Kootenay, where there is a chance of doing something with it. U every ten industrious men with that much means would secure an undeveloped property around Sandon, and employ half the effort in mining it will require to,, make a trip to the Klondyke, at the end of the year they would, have ���������something' to show, for their money besides the inevitable at the Klbndyke���������an empty purse and a broken down constitution.

The canvasbaok hearse, peculiar to the $25 funeral, stood in the street below, and the awful cherry stained box, with its ruffle of glazed white niusliu, stood on uncovered trusties in the center of the room above.

Some editors are very wise. Will the Miner.Editor have, the kindness now to quote the clauses of the Canadian constitution that gives any premier such power. For bur part, we would, in our simplicity, like to see it even in tlie Miner; We are oaware that,the premier* of England, ������backed by, his Cabinet, has the power to create Lords at-will to help him o'.it of such a predicament; but we were always con= vinccd that the premier of Canada had no such constitutional scupe. We must be wrtirig. however, for the. Miner says so. For conviction on the question we would, however, like to see the empowering clauses of the constitution quoted. Please quote them; friend Miner. The Bank returns 'fo. February show there,was $220,000,060, on deposit with them that,month. .". This would go to show that there is some -money in the country after all. ' Qf course if is not to be expected that all that is lying on deposit 'bearing interest. Much of.it is business men's balances that may be' in use any moment'. All things considered, however, there is consideix-ible money in Canada, in tlie hands of the banks, that; invested in developing the .country' would be of. great benefit ,to Canada as a whole. We very much question if Mr.Bos- tock, M.P., in supporting the Cprbin Road into the Kettle'River section, voices the wish,of the people of this country���������in short we know he", does not. The interests of the Corbin outfit lies across the boundary, while those of the C. P.R. are on this >ide. This fact alone should have induced our M.-P. to have,, supported,-the, home ��������� road.in its effort, to get into' that section of the country! The government has already .control of the C.P. R. rates through the Crow's Nest charter. A TKIBUTE OF SONG- smelters. to We believe it is only reasonable surmise that the C. P. R. would erect lead smelters in thc Kootenay country if the Federal government would only put a reasonable duty on lead products, to keep the home market for the local producers. There is a large market in Canada and Great Britain for lead products that,our iaw material is not filling--that is, in fact, filled by the --products'of the United States.--This, of course, keeps down the price of the raw material and prevents the employment of'much skilled labor in the country that otherwise would find employment here. The entire mineral product of the Slocan country .proper, the Nelson and the Lardeau sections averages from 60 to 70 per cent, lead, and this has to find a market in the States���������paying freight'on ��������� the ore thither and on the manufactured article hither. These two freights alone are burdensome, if there was nothing else in the calculation;. The Rossland Miner writes on this strain, and then concludes that if the necessary duties were imposed the C.P.R. would at once erect smelters there. But why ? If freights on ores out and on manufactured goods in are depressing the price of silver, then freights on the ore from here to Rosslond would also depress the price. One of the first essentials of successful manufacturing is to bring the manufactories, and the raw material as close together as possible. If Birmingham, England, is celebrated above any place in the world for its manufactories it is simply because the raw materials���������coal, iron, etc���������are found there lying side by side in the earth. There is no expense in hauling them to one another. We fancy the.C. P. R., as a business concern, is shrewd enough to ! look at these matters in this light asWell, and when artificial conditions are made favorable fo smelting in this country by the government, they will regard the natural ones as well. Ambition What the government' will do now, since the senate has rejected the Mackenzie and Mann railway contract, by, a vote of 52;to 14, it is hard to say. It is presumed that the connract was made subject to the- ratification of parliament, which, of course, will let the government down' easy ; but in any case it is a disastrous afiair. It is said the contractors have spent half a million dollars on the work so far ; and, of course, the government will be held for considerable payment anyway. It is simply a fitting ending for such a project. It was gotten up in the first place by boomers for booming purposes'; and, of course, booms always burst disastrously for some one. The government made its worst mistake in, unnecessary speed. The scheme should have first been submitted to parliament before a contract was signed.': '���������'������������������'! ��������� So, far about $75,000,000 of "English capital is invested in B. C. mines. It is a great pity it was not all invested carefully. For instance Sandon's mines made- nearly $1,500,000 for their owners last year clear ; and we venture to.say that less than $100,000 would cover the cost of the properties making the money for the present owners, in the first place. There is, of course, more or less gambling in mining, as there is in horse racing; but as there is every chance ol possible loss in some horses, so there is of loss in some minint, properties. A full consideration of all the circumstances by a careful man, however, minimises these chances. Investment in the silver mines of the Slocan brings risks down to a minimum. Rossland's ambition, it appears, has received a little checking. Its Board of Trade and City Council have made a big effort to induce the C. P. R. to deflect the Crow's Nest railway from Nelson, and run it, as they say, more directly into Rossland. As that town is in any event getting a station on that road, ordinary modesty would have induced the people of that burg to have remained contented. But no; the idea is to make that point the hub- at the expense of the rest of the country. The city has been advised that its ambition cannot be gratified, and There is no plaoe on earth where utter helplessness conies out so strongly, where the ceremonies in human nse fall so powerless before the majesty of the occasion, as at a funeral. It need not be that one's heart shall be interested. The obsequies of a stranger conduoted with all the pomp and vanity of ohurch and state, with the melancholy rolling drum of the military funeral, or the gorgeous- ness of the Masonio regalia apron���������all are alike inadequate and unavailing. iBut once in my life have I witnessed a ceremony that wasso grand, impressive and appropriate to the silent, awful occasion. .,.'" I will tell you of a funeral whioh lingers in my memory as the grandest, most solemn and befitting ceremony that was ever given to the dead. It was rumored many years ago that a poor widowed woman, leading a hard life of unending" labor, was called to part with the one thing dear to her���������her only ohild. Mother and daughter had toiled together for 15 years, and the only bit of sunshine falling into their dark lives was that shed by their loving companionship. But the girl had always been sickly. Under the heart-" broken mother's eyes she had faded and wasted away with consumption, and at last the day came when the wan face failed to answer with its ghastly smile the anxious, tear blinded eyes of the mother. The poor young creatine was dead. For many months the pair had been supported by the elder woman's sewing, and it was in the character of employer I had become acquainted with JMrs. Cramp and her story. By an occasional visit to the awful heights of an east side tenement where they lived, by a few books and with some oomforting words, I had won the love of the dying girl. Hor grateful thoughts turned in her last hours to the' small/number of friends she possessed, and she besought her mother to notify me of the day of her funeral and ask me to attend. The summons reached me upon one of the wildest days of winter. A sleet that was not rain and a rain that was not snow came pelting from all points of the compass. A wind that wailed in the ohimney and howled in the street told how truly dreadful for outdoor purposes was the weather of the day. Ipiled the glowing grateB, I drew closer the curtains and shut ont the gloom of the December afternoon. I turned on the gas and sat down, devoutly thankful that I had out all oonueotion with the witched weather, when an installment of it burst in on me in the shape of Parepa Rosa. She, was Euphrosyhe Parepa at that time, and the oporatio idol of the oity. Muffled with tippets, flecked with snow, glowing with tho short encounter she had had with the elements rushing up the steps from her carriage, she threw herself into an easy chair and proclaimed the horrors of the outer world to be beyond description. And even as we congratulated ourselves on the prospect of a delightful day together there came the suhlious for me to go to the humble funeral of the poor sewing woman's daughter. I turned the little tear blotted note over and groaned. "This is terrible," said I. "It's just tbo one errand that could take me out today, but I must go.:' And thou I told Parepa the circumstances ttud .speculated on the length of time I shoulr] be ;.;oi:o and buggobted means of amusement ia my absence. ' ".But I (.ball bo with you," said the great, good hetirttd ercatcre. "Your throat and old L'ateman and your concert tonight:" I pleaded. "If I get another 'froggy' note in my voice, it won't matter much; I'm hoarse as a raven now, " she (returned. So she rewound hor throat with thr long, white comforter, pulled on l.ir Vorste.d gloves, injd ojjf in tbo storm we aione. So, therefore, .with a' syiii, n Ing gr������_sp of tho poor, worn, liouy lj we sat silently down to "utttn-l funeral.'' The undertaker's man, with a screwdriver in his hand, jumped about in the passage to keep warm. The creaky boots of the minister belonging to tho $26 funeral were heard on the stairs. There was a catarrhal conversation held outside between them as to the enormity of the weather, and probably the bad taste of, the deceased in selecting such a bad time to die was discussed. Then the minister came in with a pious sniff and stood revealed, a regular Stiggius as to get up���������a dry, solf sufficient man, icier than the day and colder than the storm. He deposited his hat and black gloves and wet umbrolla on the poor little bed in tho corner; ho slapped his hands vigorously together; he.tOok himself in well merited fashion by the ears and pulled theiii into the glowing sensation, and after thawing out for a moment ho plunged into business. ;. , Ho rattled niorrily through some selected sentences from the Bible. He ���������gave., us a prayer that, sounded like peas in a dried bladtlor, and he came to amen v. it'll it jerk that brought me up like a patent snap.'He pulled on his old glovos and grabbed his rusty hat, and, with his umbrella dripping inky tears over the well scrubbed floor, he offered a set form of condolence to the broken hearted mother.; He fold her:of her sin in rebelling against tho deoree of Providence. Ho assured her that nothing oould bring the dead ba������k. He inveighed against the folly of the world in general, and then he made a horrible blunder and showed he didn't know even the sex of the dead by saying,,"He cannot ooiue to you, but you must go to ..iii.."' This was a settler for Parepa and myself. We looked at tbe departing minis , ter in blank astonishment.' ." The door swung' wide; we saw the .screwdriver waving in the air as the undertaker's man held "converse with the clergyman. A hush fell ou everybody gathered in the little room. Not oue word had been uttered of consolation. It was the emptiest, hollowest, most unsatisfactory moment I ever remember.. ���������������������������;>' '. ':..':���������;'���������' ' Then Parepa arose, her cloak falling about her noble figure liko mourning drapery. -,'She .stood ��������� beside that miserable cherry wood box. < Sho loolad a moment on the pinched,, wasted, asby face upturned toward her from within it. ShVluid her^oft, white hand on the discolored forehead, of the, dead girl, and she lifted up that matchless voice iu the beautiful melody: -Angels, ever bright nnd fair,' Take, oh, take her, to your care. The screwdriver paused in describing an airy cin.le.; The wet umbrella btood pointing down the stair's. The two meu with astonished faces were foremost in a crowd that instantly filled the passage. The noble voice swelled toward heaven, and if ever tho choir of paradise paused to listen to earth's music it was when Parepa snug so, gloriously beside that poor dead girl. No words can describe its effect on thoso gathered there. The sad mourner sank on her knees, and with chtsi.ed hands and streaming.eyes the littlo bixild stood reverently about heiv No queen ever went to her grave accompanied by a grander ceremony. To this day Parepa's glorious tribute of song rings with solemn .melody in my memory as the only real, impressive funeral service I over heard.���������"Planets and Peoplo."

Ho not only played all of Beethoven0 by hciirt upon tbe piano, but knew all the symphonies in (ho same manner, and practically the whole Wagnerian output of musical metal, and it is claimed that so great was the mass of the piano music;which'Bulowretain-, ed "within the'book and volume of his brain," inscribed in mysterious hieroglyphics somewher*. among tbe molecules of the gray matter constituting the cortex of his cerebral organ, that he could have played 25 piano recital programmes without repeating and without a printed page. Since there go about: 2,000 measures to the hour' and two solid hours to an ordinary Bulow programme this would' represent 100,000 measures of music, or about 4,000 large pages, something like eight or ten thick volumes. ���������'������������������.,,'' Even Bulow was outdone by Kubiu- stein, in, the field of piano music at least, if we can trust the anecdote mongers, for it is claimed that in 0110 Benson at St. Petersburg ho played a series of reoitals which exhausted the literature of. the piano and embraced 1,300 distinct compositions. It is mentioned of Mendelssohn that ou one occasion, tbe score of Beethoven's "Sixth Symphony" 1_; ving been misplaced, he raised his bii'.rn and directed tbe work from memory, but this does not seem to me a feat in the least remarkable, for the pastoral symphony is so. extremely lucid and so bewitchiugly beautiful that tho oniy thing difficult or remarkable would Lo the forgetting of it.

There is a world of truth in the old song- which said: "Man must work, and woman must weep." Women must weep not only for the troubles and ills of those they love, but because of the physical agony and suffering that they themselves endure in silence.. Nine-tenths of the pain and suffering that women undergo could be avoided by a little knowl- resort to the right remedy. ree When a woman feels weak, sick, nervous, fretful and despondent, and suffers from pains in the back and sides, and burning and dragging down sensations, she is suffering from weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organism. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best of all medicines for ailing women. It acts directly and only on the delicate and important organs that make maternity possible. It makes them strong and well. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain, and tones the nerves. It does away with the usual .discomforts of the timorous period, and makes baby's coming easy and almost painless. It is the discovery of Dr. R. V. Pierce, an eminent and skillful specialist, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. No honest dealer will urge a substitute for this superior medicine. "I cannot say too much for Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription," writes Miss Clnra Bnird, of Bridseport, Montgomery Co., Pa.

Cario, April 8.���������The details of the defeat of the Dervishes in Nubia show the Anglo-Egyptian force after a night march arrived at dawn before the emeny's camp. When the trenches- of the dervishes had been bombarded by the whole Anglo-Egyptian force made a brilliant rush for tbe trenches. Tbe Dervishes stutd their ground bravely and reserved their fire until the attacking force was quite close to them. Mahmoud, the Dervish general, was among tho prisoners captured. As tl e dispatch was sent the Anglo-Egyptian cavalry, horse artillery and Maxim batteries were pursuing the fugitives. The losses of the Anglo-Egyptian force included Captain Urquhart of the Cameron Highlanders und Lieutenant Gore of tlie Seal'orth Highlanders, killed ; and 10 officers of the British brigade and four British officers in the Egyptian service wounded. The Sirdar's force numbered 13,000 men, with 24 guns,and twelve Maxim's under Colonel long. The enemy left Shendy with ]9,000 men, but they have suffered a great deal from desertions. We left yesterd.a)'s camp at 6 p. m. and bivoiiacccl in the desert. We reached Mahmound's position atO a.m. to-day. They were evidently aware of our approach. After an hour of heavy bombardment the brigades were forced up'and carried the position at the point of the bayonet under a tremendous fire'from the enemy. The Sarabi was torn away, but the enemy hung obstinately to the trenches and were bayonctted in them. During the whole admirable bombardment by Colonel . Long not a single dervish was visible. The cavalry is now in full pursuit, and nothing could haver been liner than the behavior of the troops. Mahmoud was captured by the Ten Soudanese battalion. He was said to be underground the whole time his men were flj,hting. The prisoners say that Mahmound's forces were deserting in large numbers before the battle. The enemy's guns, baggage, animals and standards were captured. Our , loss would have been much heavier if the enemy had not fired high.

To those Coming }0 Alaska or the Klondike Gold Fields, One though should be impressed upon every miner, prospector or trader coming to Alaska, to the Klondyke, or the Yukon country, and that is the nc- cessity, for providing an adequate and proper food supply. Whether procured in the Stater, in tlie Dominion, or al the supply store? here or futhcr on, (his must bo his primary' concern. Upon the manner in which the miner has observed or neglected this precaution mote than upon any other one thing will his success or failure depend.. ,.,,'v ,������������������. ,'���������,'��������� These supplies must be healthful and should be concentrated, but the most careful attention in the selection of foods that will keep unimpaired indefinitely under all tbe conditions which they will have to encounter is imperative. For instance, as bread raised with baking '-i'poWder must be relied upon for the chief part of every meal, imagine the helplessness, of a miner, with a can of spoiled,' baking powder. Buy only tho very best flour; it is the cheapest in the end. Experience has shown the Royal Baking Powder.to.be the most reliable and the trading companies now uniformly supply this brand, as others will not keep in this ?climate. Be sure that tlie ��������� bacon is sweet, sound and thoroughly cured. These are.the absolute neces sitics upon which all must place a chief reliance, andean'under no cir- cumstsnees be neglected. They may, of course, be supplemented by aa many comforts or delicacies as tha prospector may be able to pack or ' desire to pay for.���������From, the Alaska Mining' Journal. 50C. 50C.

Rosebery claims, without opposition, of��������� being- the only junction ou the lake, unlike Slocan City, . where you can step ofl the steamer to a waiting train and continue your journey. You can take either a north or south train at this terminus; consequently Rosebery is the best transient town in the race. Nervertheless we claim Slocan City second in, importance, and would say watch the head and foot of Slocan Lake,"viz ROSEBERY AND] SLOGAN CITY. Its Advantages as a Manufacturing Center. As a manufacturing center Rosebery claims to have demonstrated the fact that after the careful observation of the Denver (Colorado) Ore Coy's manager, as the natural advantages of all points in Kootenay for the treatment of ores the cheapest, Rosebery was selected, and they now are erecting works, with a capacity of 250 tons per day, which will be in operation within 90 days; and it is their intention to pay out monthly in the vicinity of $100,000. I might also add Rosebery has the largest water power from Wilson river flowing into Slocan Lake. AS TO CLIMATE. Rosebery claims the mildest climate on Slocan Lake, from its admirable southern exposure and absolute shelter from the north j snow always leaves the place about the 15th of March. AS A TOWNS/TE. As a townsite, Rosebery is without a pe.er. It is possessed of all the fiat land available at the mouth of the Wilson river leading to the valley��������� mining region���������consequently there is no danger of any contagion. The title is a Crown Grant and is perfect. All purchasers of lots are safe in this respect. The only safe speculative townsite in the Slocan is Rosebery. Why should I say tlie only safe speculative town- site in the Slocan ? Because Rosebery business lots to-day are only $150 to $200 each and are bound to increase rapidly this summer. These figures can, and will, double. Before long the time to buy now. Don't wait till they are from $700 to $1,000, as you did in Slocan City last May, go in on the ground floor and make a few dollars in speculation; if you want to invest go to Vancouver or Winnipeg ; if you want to speculate and and clean up money go quick to Rosebery before lots are out of sight.

Easter Sunday was observed here in the two churches by special services, Scriptural and choral, as it was, undoubtedly, throughout the length and breadth "of this and other Christian lands, with but little variation. The Methodists here, having a church of their own, had the interior of tbe building beautifully decorated with suitable mottoes, cedar, flowers, drapes etc. Mr. D. McMillan has returned from a tour of the south country in search of a business.location. Of Fort Steele, he has to say that its future is undecided until the railway reaches it.

Ha, thinks, after all, the prospects of Sandon are as substantial as any place he has seen, and is likely to settle here in business. The anxiety with the Klondyke supply houses in the coast cities now it the ways and means to get rid of their stocks, the boom having busted. It would only be the answer to many an honest prayer, if the half of them went busted. The dodge, of most of them was to sell to tenderfeet, for the money they made out of it, knowing the venture of the tenderfeet was only a rush to destruction.

The Weights of Brains. Some interesting facts bearing on the size and weight of the brain wore given recentty by Sir William Turner. In the case of Europeans the average brain weight is from!49 ounces to 50 ounces in man,- and from M ounces to 45 ounces in woman. It is interesting to note that even in newborn children the hoys have bigger heads and heavier brains than the girls. The brains of a number of men of ability and intelluctual distinction have been weighed, and ascertained to be from 55 to 60 ounces. In a few exceptional cases, as in the bruins of Cuvier and Dr. Abercrombie, the weight has been more than 60 ounces, but it should also be stated that brains weighing 60 ounces and upward have occasionally been obtained from persons who had shown no sign of intellectual eminence. Ou the other .hand it has been pointed out that, if the brain falls.below a certa'n 'weight it cannot properly discharge its functions. This minimum weight for civilized people experts have placed nt 37 ounces for men and 32 ounces for women.

The Fireman's second dunce of the season was held Easter Monday evening. Like the former one it was well managed in all details and largely attended, though not as crowded as the first, which added much to the comfort of the dancers, if not to weight of the Brigade's purse. As there has been no committee meeting we are unable to give a financial statement this week ; but, as the attendance was all that could be expected and expenses nominal, it must have resulted successful financially as well as otherwise. There are many tangible signs of returning prosperity to this camp. Many new faces are seen on the streets, and the incoming trains are bringing people in well nigh as fast as thpy took,them out a few weeks a.ao. The mines, too, are all preparing to increase their staffs. Mr. White, of the Star, says they will double their force in the course of ten days or so,"wh������n the water supply increases. The slides on the upper hills are coming down rapidly, which will enable the smaller properties in the higher altitudes to resume operations shortly.
