DUNCAN* CITY \OTKS. The Jackson shipped 41 tons of ore last week. There are six men employed at present on the L H. . There are 35 men working on the Queen Bess. Ore for shipment is being hauled down from the Noonday. A long tunnel is to be commenced shortly on the Chicago. A small force is being worked on the Goodenough, under contract. Work will be continued on the' Torpedo throughout the winter. There appears to be no lack of work offering in the camp for carpenters. Twenty men are at work on the Noonday and the force will be increased. The Madison had three feet of concentrating ore showing on Sunday night. An option has been taken by Spokane parties on the Oregon City claim, on Ten Mile. Large quantities of supplies are being sent out to the properties on Silver mountain, Murdock McLean is superintending the erection of the new bunkhouses at the Enterprise. The new buildings at the_Emily Edith are completed. They will accommodate about 100 men. The new bunkhouse at the Bosun has been completed. It will accommodate 40 men, and is the finest building of the kind in this vicinity. More men are constantly being put to work on the various properties. Large quantities of supplies are being laid in for the winter in almost all the big mines. The owners of the Royal Five group, situated near the Mollie Hughes, have lately had that property thoroughly prospected, with the result that a strong ledge, carrying ore very similar to that being taken out of the Mollie Hughes, lias been discovered, Since tlie closing down of the C. 17 R. operations, the town has been much quieter, and quite, a number have, left The Duncan sawmill has not been running regularly of late owing* to the scarcity of logs and the breaking up of the crew The K'.'&S. has increased their force and everything indicates that they mean to push along the road as rapidly as possible Harry Swan, the K. & S.

Pavmasters and commissariat officials by the mine owners to obtain men to work in the Slocan mines, at %3 per day. they find themselves thwarted in every direction by the vigilance of the miners' union, which lias agents in every city and town of importanceon the continent. The effort to rush in returning bankrupt Klondikers and Italians via Seattle has signally failed, as well as in Victoria. \V. L. Hagler, secretary of the Sandon union, received a telegram from Seattle, Monday, from the union agent, stating that "F. A. Woods left here this morning. No men, unless met on way." Every inducement was offered to get men, but without success. Of those who came in two weeks ago for the Payne, only two remain, and they are there as evidence to the Dominion Government of the action of the mine managers. Another unsuccessful attempt has just been made by the managers to import men from eastern Canada, but the vigilance of the union has proven too great. On Monday Mr. Hagler received advices from Winnipeg that 10 men had been dissuaded at that point from going farther on their journey. The men said they had been hired to work in the Slocan mines. As on previous occasions, it has been shown that the men were given a totally false impression of the conditions prevailing in the camp, but they and others have always refused to work in the Slocan when the true situation was explained to them, CATKLLA LOOKS KI.VK.

In response to a telegraphic enquiry sent by the Kamloops Sentinel as to what steps the government would take to enforce the Alien Labor law in the Slocan and so frustrate the efforts of the Silver-Lead Mine Owners' Association to import cheap foreign labor, Sir Wilfred Laurier wired that the government had not as yet received the detailed information which had been sent forward from the Slocan, but from the tone of Sir Wilfrid's dispatch it is safe to assume that the government will not hesitate to give the Canadian residents of the Slocan the protection they asked for. is known as the lower or ruby sUver lead was opened up, and it has proven to be something far better than any of the leads yet tapped on this promising group. A tunnel is being driven in on the lead, which is carrying very high- grade ore from the grass roots. In I'acing-up preparatory to starting in, ore that will yield S200 or 8800 was taken out. The lead runs up the hill and has been traced several hundred feet. It is the owners' intention to work all winter, taking out and shipping the. ore.

Lumber Men Combine. After months of negotiation, a big lumber company has been floated to acquire several Kootenay and Boundary creek saw mills The capitalization of the company is §500,000, and the head office will he located in Greenwood. The incorporators are A. Fisher and L Blue, who own mills at Greenwood and Rossland, and Messrs Geneileand Pou- pore, the well-known Kootenay lumbermen, whose mills are at Nakusp and Robson. The new company will operate mills at Nakusp, Robson, Green" wood, Phoenix, Eholt, Rock Creek and Long Lake.

Baseball games art- Havana. played daily in in attendance and enlivened the meeting by rendering several selections The address of Organizer Wilkes was a simple statement of facts, showing the causes that made nec?.ssary the organization of co-operative unions among the miners, and the good results that had been achieved for the metalliferous miners of the mining sections of the Northwest by the Federation. Mr. Wilkes is a plain, impassionate speaker and talks as a working-man to working- men. He brought out many good points in relation to the eight-hour law that Llioroughly pleased his audience, and stated that he had received letters from politicians on the coast, of both the government party and the opposition, pledging* their support to the law, and stating* that it would never be repealed. Mr. Wilkes was particularly careful to warn the men who would be members of the union to be organized against any action that might be construed as an infraction of the law. Let the other side do that, said he. He regretted that the country, and particularly this section, should be forced to suffer because of the lockout, and sincerely hoped the question would soon be settled. He was confident that tiie managers could have averted the trouble had they in the first place treated their employes like men. He had lived for fifteen years in a mining community where the employers always treated with the men direct in questions of differences between them, and in all that time there had been perfect harmony. And it was his belief, that had the mine managers gone to the miners with their case a7 the inception of the eight-hour law, instead of getting together in secret and issuing their ultimatum, they would never have forced upon the Slocan the past four months of depression. The difficulties that the mine managers claim the law thrusts upon them are large imaginary, said he. The}* must be imaginary, for they have never tried the law and could not speak with authority. If the managers' union and the miners' union understood each other better, if each would try to understand the other, and treat the other in a spirit of conciliation, he was confident that all friction between them would disappear and harmony would prevail. To bring this condition of affairs about Mr. Wilkes said the union would do its utmost, and he predicted that, if the managers would do as much, the difficulty now existing would soon be overcome. Taking up the question of the importation of Italians, Mr. Wilkes said he was not at all worried about that move. He knew that such action by the mine owners engaged in the business would be unanimously condemned hy the citizens of British Columbia, and would strengthen the arm oflabor. Moreover, he could assure his hearers that no more Italian laborers would be imported as steps had already been taken to prevent it. He said the union would use every legitimate means to secure the enactment of legislation that would help them to better their condition, to make themselves and the community more prosperous, and to keep out ofthe mines of Kootenay the ignorant class of workmen who are not and will not become citizens of Canada. The union, he said, was striving to tiring its members to the highest standard of proficiency as workmen and citizens, and it would do it. They all. or nearly all, were voters and they would see that the political pledges made to them before election would lie carried out when the office was secured. The speaker said he was at a loss to see wherein the eight-hour law was at fault for the present conditions. He very well knew what the mine managers and their political allies said was high wages, they believe in unionism ! Then what iii the name of reason is the matter? In conclusion Mr. Wilkes predicted the early settlement of the present trouble. He was very glad to come to New Denver and organize a union, and hoped its members would so conduct themselves that their union would be a recognized power for good in the peace- able settlement of all questions affecting labor and capital. He thanked the band, the business men and citizens generally for according him a hearing, and especially the press for the fair treatment the question has received. In conclusion of his remarks those' not eligible to membership dispersed and the organization of the New Den- ■ ver Miner's Union was effected, with 52 names on the membership roll. The following officers were elected: President, D. J. Weir: vice-president, Julius Wolfe: secretary, C. M. Nesbitt; treasurer, Peter Lindquist; warden, Geo. M. Davis; conductor, T. Lloyd. PRODUCTION OF COPPKK. Half a century ago the north shore of Lake Superior was an important mining section, and produced great quantities of copper. Appearances indicate that the region frill again rank as a large producer of copper. The Parry Sound district is also coming to the front, and while copper mining there is as yet in its initial stages the indications are most favorable. The demand for the metal is almost unlimited. During the first six months of 1S99 the output of.copper in the United States reached the total of 124.4S7 tons, or an average of 20,7-18 tons per month. The mines in Europe within the same period have produced a total of 43,629 tons. In Europe, notwithstanding the bulk produced since January 1, the entire stock of copper does not exceed l«,0OO tons. Within five years the price of copper has advanced from 10 cents to 18_ and 19 cents per pound. In 1894 copper was produced from the best mines and delivered in New York at about 8 cents a pound Today the cost of production and delivery is near to 6 cents per pound. The constantly increasing use of copper in electric devices and appliances of every sort has swelled the demand for the metal wherever electricity is being introduced. Since. 1894 the demand has increased 50 per cent. Previous to that date there was an annual increase in production of about 10 per cent., but thence forward it has averaged a fraction less than 4 per cent. Meanwhile the demand from abroad has been constantly augmented, and since January 1, 63,420 tons of copper have been exported from America. Want to Follow the Dip. Application was made before Judge Forin of Nelson last week by the defendants in the case of Braden vs. the. American Boy Mining Company, for security for costs. The order was made. This is a case in which Braden, as owner of the Treasure Vault mineral claim, is seeking to set aside the crown grant to the American Boy mineral claim and restrain that company from working the American Boy vein, the apex of which it is claimed is on the Treasure Vault ground. The Treasure Vault is an 1891 location, and under the Mineral Act of that year its owners have the right to follow the dip of any veins that may have their apex within the side lines of their ground.

On the whole, the mine managers cannot complain ofthe treatment they have received at the hands of the Union. .They were not prepared to fight so formidable an organization as the Federation, and all.their plans that looked so feasible .to their inexperienced eyes at, the Association meetings faded- dismally when confronted bv the: old experienced labor leaders of. the: Federation. Many a good general has had to capitulate to save his, army, and, the mine,managers should not allow their dignity to stand in the way of reason. It is no disgrace to be upset by a superior foeman, and they may as well crawl down now as two months later. THK CORRECT PIUNG'IPT.K. The Miners' Union of New Denver starts off well. Its membership roll has 52 names upon it, and its officers are men of sterling character, conservative ih all their dealings with public questions and dignified in conducting any business they take hold of. Another feature in favor of thc new organization is that all of its members are men who are actually engaged in mining for a livelihood. Men who are not so engaged are not eligible to membership and are refused admission, however strong their inclinations may be in that direction. This is the correct principle, and is the only basis upon which to build a successful labor organization--one that will be of assistance to its members and of permanent good to the community in which it is organized. Men who are not engaged in mining for a livelihood have no more right to be in a miners union that has a carpenter in a printers' union, or a tailor in a blacksmiths' union, and it is contrary to all principles of unionism for them to be admitted. It is more for personal gain that they are there, and the. union that, permits them to. enter does so at tremendous risk. This has been proven time and „ again in years past, and the history of any union that has permitted it has had written across its charter the word failure: Repeated weeding out must be done even in the best labor organizations, and what must the result be when every Tom, Dick and Harry is admitted to membership? As an illustration of what can be done by a conservative organization the International Typographical Union may be named as the most successful. This organization has ever observed the strictest investigation of the merits of an applicant for admission and it is next to impossible for a man who not a practical printer to become a member. As a result of this close scrutiny that organization heads the list as the most conservative of* all trades unions, and yet it is the strongest and most successful, They accomplish their ends by lawful, intelligent action, and employers all over the United States and Canada are glad to put their composing rooms under the union, because, as the Spokesman-Review puts it, they feel that in return for fair wages they will receive fair treatment and efficient service, their newspapers will be printed on time 365 days in the year, and their materials and machinery will be well cared for. As a result, employe and employer enjoy mutual respect and confidence, and each is glad to advance the other's prosperity. ckkAp i.Anon, cheap pkoi'lk. The mine owners of West Kootenay over-readied themselves when they imported a lot of Italians from the United States co work in the mines. British Columbia has no need of Italians to work in her mines. The merchant, the manufacturer, the artisan, tbe laborer, the capitalist, all have reason to oppose such a move. The future of British ColumbiM, depends upon her masses. If all labor is to come down to the basis of Chinese and Italian wages, the days of prosperity in British Columbia will, soon be over. Good wages mean good times and more rapid development of every resource ofthe country. The money earned by the Italian and Chinaman is sent away. It is never invested in hemes and home improvements. Not a dollar of it is spent in public spirited enterprise. They are a elass that absorb but never give up. The bare necessities of life keep them, and very little of their money circulates in .the, legitimate . channels of trade. One white man working at good wages is better for a community than 20 ■ Chinks or Dagoes.—Gran- brook Herald. so, and Canada will answer. Meanwhile the British in South Africa seem to be suffering from a lack of accomplished mule-whackers. It might be well for the Laurier gov ernment to ask whether !\the War Office would not appreciate the help of a corps of trained diplomats who have learned how to. reason with mules on the pack trails of British Columbia." THE NEWSPAPEK HABIT. There is no hope for the newspaper jacklegs ofthe Slocan. You can't cure a man of the newspaper habit. This is the story Jake Adraire's son used to tell on him: Jake swore off on the newspaper habit and went into business. The son took the print shop and the old man was so relieved that he would not even enter the office. By and by the boy began to notice that the back door ofthe office would be open of mornings, but nothing was stolen. After this had been repeated several times, lie determined to watch for the intruder. In the early morning, When the roosters began making their toilets, the young man notic d his father slip out ofthe back door of the family home and come sneaking along to the rear of the office. Jake entered and the young man followed." Jake simply went and sat down by the ink keg and smelled it. The newspaper habit had not been cured. MULK WHACKERS TO. THE FRONT. Commenting' upon the disaster tl at befell a part ot General White's command at Ladysraith in the recent brush with the Boers, the blame for which was laid upon the old army mules, who cannot talk, the Toronto Telegram says: "It would be just as well for Canada to remember, in this hour of grief and calamity that the foundations of the British Empire are not to be shaken by the results which followed the bad behavior of a few army mules. Canada is prepared to do her duty to the Empire up to the hilt, but England is not so short of men that this country need plunge uninvited into the work of raising an other regiment. When Britain wants another regiment she has only to say T-OA'K AND MARRIAGE. The Philosopher tells us that early weddings are the parents of early divorce, and this is undoubtedly true where divorce is the easy and accepted remedy for all matrimonial eruptions. America is afflicted with sentimental influenza. Sentiment is a good thing; so is vanilla, but they are both nothing but flavors. All cake and no bread will not do. Rose water is sweeter than Limburger cheese, but the cheese is more useful. Look at that young pair making love in a luxurious parlor. Are thev thinking of the luture?

WHEN I HAVE TIME. When I have time I'll pause and turn aside; I'll take the narrow way; forsake the wide; I'll shun the thoroughfares where traffic grinds Forever and anon. Where lucre's sheen the sonl of mankind blinds, But drives and shoves him on; And guides his fingers to his neighbor's purse, And sinks him to perdition's depths or worse; I'll quit these scenes, some day— When I have time. When I have time, at home I'll; spend it more; I'll kiss the face that greets me at tha door; And bv my tired wife I'll take my place, Her burdens will I share. I'll smooth her way; I'll banish from her face. The shad'wy elouds of care. I'll hie tne to the byways; the oppressed I'H aid; I'll comfort the distressed. These things I'll do, and more— When I have time. When 1 have time I'll make my peace with God; I'll tread the paths that other saints have trod; I'll take my dusty Bible from its shelf, And'read it through and through. I'll learn to love my neighbor as myself (A precept learned by few), Ahd then, some day, I'll lay me down to rest, Well satisfied that I have done my best --Some day: not now; not yet; When I have time. —L P. Hext. Which Kind'of Advertlsimg Do YotfDo? 'There is good advertising-, there is advertising which is poor because it does not bring results, and there is'bad advertising which is not only poor advertising but is actually injurious to the business which it is supposed to f archer. 7, ' 7.o Under any of these heads there are numerous subdivisions. It is very hard to tell in which class any advertisement belongs until it shall have been tested for a cor>siderable time. , But there are .two styles of advertising practiced by retail stores, which stand out in strong contrast from everything else and it,is essential, that every man consider carefully which class he wishes to use. Plere are some of the principal differences between bargain and special sale advertising, and the quiet, modest advertisement which-is used day after day. We use the term bargain advertising not as applying to the legitimate special prices which a store is honestly enabled to occasionally offer, but to tha*- class of advertisements which by using startling announcements and promising some remarkable saving, have as their ultimate object the bringing of people into the store. Generally some misfortune has happened to some one. The manufacturer, or the shipper, or the buyer has made some mistake for which he must suffer. This kind of advertising appeals principally to people who think themselves too sharp to be cheated. Their best julgment tells them that such an advertisement is largely a misrepresentation. Alter the excitement has died away and they realize that they have been bamboozled into paying full value, they very naturally decide never to patronize the store again, and are apt to advise their friends of the deception. While business is on the rush at such a store there is big profit in it, but there is also a great deal of dissatisfaction among the customers. There are legitimate reasons arising i;i the ordinary course of business which.occasionally induce a merchant to give unusual values. If his reputation has been spoiled by faky advertising his honest announcement of real bargains will have little weight. The second style of advertising is much slower iu producing results and wheh the merchant has among his competitors an advertiser of tho. first sort he isapt to feel that his advertising is not paying. His course is perfectly plain. Continue straightforward talk.*;, taking up each little point which local conditions of trade make possible and offering in each advertisement articles of superior merit and so reasonable in price that thev are instantly recognized ar- being honest bargains That is all. Presenting bargains of this kind you will find tliat people are not dissatislied, that they will tell their friends that your advertising is truthful. Their repeated coining and continued buying will insure your success The advertising with a big hurrah brings many people—once. The truthful, straightforward advertising brings Ass people on the given day but they come time after time and bring their i friends with them. It is no us>-'. for the man who has established a reputation as a fakir to attempt the more quiet edvertising. Like the man addicted to cocaine, his only salvation is to continue on the same lines, iucro-ising the dose from time to time until he has exhausted his territory. This result is inevitable—W. D Curtis: Must tread the self-same paths we two have trod. And cry in vain to one who is with God, To lean down from the Silent Realms and say, 'T love you," in the old familiar way. Some day—and each day, beauteous though it be, Brings closer that dread hour for you or me, . Fleet-footed Joy, who hurries time along. Is yet a secret foe who does us wrong, Speeding us gaily, though he well doth know Of yonder path wav, where but one may ' >°- Oh, heart of mine, through all these perfect days, Whether of white Decembers or green Mays, There runs a dark thought like a creeping snake, Or like a black thread, on which'by some mistake Life has strung the pearls of happy years; A thought which borders all my joy with tears. Ay, one will go. Togo is sweet, I wis— Yet Giod must needs invade some special bliss To make His Paradise seem'very dear To one who goes and leaves the other here, To sever souls so bound by love aud time, For any one but God would be a crime. Yet Death will entertain his own, I think; To one who stays, life gives the gall to drink.
