The shipments for March were much in excess of any other month, this being accounted lor in the fact that the entire battery of eight furnaces at the company's smelter were in blast every hour of the 31 days, nothing in the way of fuel or car "shortage interfering. In April the improvements at the smelter were commenced, connecting up the furnaces with the steel flue dtist chamber, etc., andcontinued throughthe succeeding months, two furnaces being out of commission at times. . , .

From,lhe.aboye.i\Will be. seen^thaf the shipments for the first seven months of 1908 are nearly double those of 1907. During the first1 six months of last year, however, there was one handicap after another until May when the Granby furnaces, in common with all other smelters in the Boundary had to close down on account ot the fuel shortage resulting from a strike in the Crow's Nest Pass. The shipments for, the prestn' month will also be somewhat small on account of the fear ��� of fuel shortage occasioned by the Fernie fire. Last week only four furnaces of the battery of eiglit at the smelter were in blast. This week six are in commission. The company, however, are making good use of the opportunity to rush the improvements at the smelter and will probably have them completed earlier than intended���end of the year���and be ready in good time for the advancing copper market. By the end of the year the Granby smelter should be in shape to handle 130,000 tons monthly. With the present equipment at the mines' this amount of ore can be readily supplied, and indeed there is little "doubt but that the Granby mines can furnish 5000 tons of ore every 24 hours if required.

The officials of the road promised an immediate readjustment on the rates between the Boundary and Vancouver, which would allow of the association closing a contract for fifteen cars of produce from the valley for the Australian market. In regards to the adjustment of the rates to other points the officials promised that these would have their consideration and that an adjustment would be made.

A passenger from the Boundary coming in last night says the country looks very dried up and there has been little or no rain for a month past. The consequence is that there is grave d.tnger from any fires starting. Recently there was quite a fair sized fire between Grand Forks and Eholt which is still smouldering and numerous other small fires along the CP.R. right of way have kept the section men busily engaged. Along the line of the Great Northern matters are somewhat worse. Between B C. junction and Phoenix a fire of considerable proportions was being fought yesterday and in the afternoon another fire started in the timber about a mile east of Grand Forks. Rain is the paramount necessity at the present moment.���Thursday's News. FIRE DESTROYES MACHINE SHOPS Of Dominion "Copper Co. at " Boundary Falls. The large machine shops and blacksmith shop of the Dominion Copper company adjoining the Boundary Falls- smelter, together with the entire machinery ; plant, was destroyed , by fire on Thursday evening. ��� The fire started at 9.30 and spread so quickly throughout the building that there was soon no hope of, saving it, and the , smelter itself was in imminent' danger. The entire smelter force of men were put to work with" the company's fire appliances and only after some hours of stubborn fighting on the part of the men, was the reduc tion plant out of danger. <��� The destruction of the machine shop will mean a big loss to the company as it was fully equipped with the most modern machinery for repairing, etc. The building will probably be rebuilt. GOLDEN ZONE ,; -LOQKS.PJ^MISJNG New Stamp Mill is Giving Every..Satisfaction. . The Golden Zone, the prop.. tj.,���Mr. Hediey, owned by Paul Broadhageri, J. J. Marks and J. Murphy, where "a new five-stamp mill was recently put in operation, is giving every satisfaction. The Gazette has. the following to say regarding it: The property is located on a high plateau east of the main Twenty-mile creek, and north of the east fork of the same, and almost directly north of the Nickel Plate. It is not more than 12 miles from Hediey, but it is at an altitude of about 6000 feet above sea level, while Hediey is about 1700. The Golden Zone group consists of four claims, the Irish Boy, B. C, Golden Zone and Silver Bell, staked in an easterly and westerly direction, the Irish boy being furthest east. The workings, are on the Golden Zone, but almost at the B. C. line. The mill was put'up on the workings near the old cabin. There was a good showing at this point on our former visit but no development beyond a number of open cuts, the principal development at that time being a 6ofoot shaft about 150 yards past the present showings. Sine: then a 30 foot shaft has been sunk from which the mine hoist can elevate the ore and dump it into the mill ore bins. The mill is equipped with one battery of five stamps, athough everything is in readiness to add five more, even to the mortar beds and cam shaft. | The stamps weigh 1050 lbs. The ore bin is outside the building elevated on a strong, high trestle and has a capacity of too tons, between it and the battery frame is placed a rock crusher of the Blake pattern, with 6x10 inch jaw, the ore passing over a ten foot grizzly before reaching crusher. A 40 mesh screen is being used, and the ore is so friable that the duty per stamp exceeds 4 tons per diem. An improved Wilfley handles the tailings that pass from the apron, and appears to make a very complete concentration, but uses -,i great deal of water which is a slight drawback where water is scarce. The power is furnished by a 30 h.p. engine and a 40 h.p. boiler, and seems ample, while the boiler is claimed to be economical. The shaft is equipped with a Jenckes hoist 5x1; double cylinder and capable of going down 200 feet with a half ton load, while a No. 5 Cameron pump will take care of the water. Mr. SE. Hamilton is in charge of the mill, and opposite shifts taken by F.P. Howard and J.A. McDonald. A glory hole is being started at the west of the ore bin, and from it also the hoist can take ore and drop it in the It is the intention to sink ift out under BonndaryJIining Notes ..

However, it will not be safe to look for a quick retui n of the high prices for copper that prevailed in 1906 and 1907. There is fairly large stock of refined copper on ' hand and several new and important supplies are now being added to the market, especially the outputs of Ely and Cananea. At the begining of 1907, the unsold stock competition at Nelson fair. Tmi. MM. Tbi Fr.. Sit. 5 12 ��9 "16 "6 ao 37 7 21 .8 t 8 *5 22 '29 of refined copper was about 120,000- 000 lbs. During the first half of 1908 there was a restriction of output and the withdrawal from the supply, for domestic consumption and for export, reduced the stock. Just how much was the reduction is uncertain, no Statistics being available.1 However, it is believed that the unsold stock' of refiined copper on July i, 1908, did not exceed 70,000,000 lb., and it may have been considerably smaller than that The question that will determine the price in the near future is whether consumption will- increase faster than thenewproduction (including the restoration of old production). At present, the outlook in the race j appears to be in favor of consumption, but production will doubtless make a good showing and the stock still on hand will be a retaining factor.���Engineering and Mining Journal.

(By Prof. J. Porter, B ��.) The group of leading men who founded Columbian Colledge fifteen years ago were fully alive to the | os- sibilities before; and successive boards of management have done their best to keep it abreast of provincial development. Secondary education of a certain type, a divinity school to tra;n men for a particular field of work; and an arts, curriculum of a sufficiently high grade to permit of complete affiliation with one of the large eastern universities���these have marked successive stages of its growth into an institution of university rank. But the modern university college has to take account of the field of applied science as well; and Principal Sipprell foresaw that, both for educational and practical reasons, the field must be oc cupied at an early date. It was not, however, until the college obtained the science equipment of Victoria University, Toronto, that he saw his way clear to making a start. Negotiations were then opened with the Ontario School of Piactical Science (now the Faculty of Engineeting in the University of Toronto). Certain additions had to be made to the professorial staff and equipment, after which affiliation was granted. Under line terms of the agreement, the college was at once allowed to undertake ihe first year's work of the Toronto Engineering course. This was an agreement which was likely to prove of sei- vice to many students in the province, more especially as something like individual teaching could be given to them during the all-important period when they were engaged with new conceptions in mathematics and mechanics. They would then be in a much better position to keep up with the work of the second and third years on their removal to Toronto) This was the original of the S., P. S. course of Columbian College, j It is open to matriculated students of a recognized Canadian university, and lasts for one year. Students in civil and mining engineering take algebra trigonometry, analytical and descriptive geometry, drawing and topography, surveyingJ-ctur-��o and field-work*, mechanics, chemical lectures and laboratory work, and mineralogy. Students in mechanical and electrical engineering omit topographical drawing, survey-work in the field, and mineralogy, but take up instead machine drawing, and electrical lecaures and laboratory work. The arrangements which were necessary to meet the stringent requirements of Toronto rather pressed on the college resourse6 for a year or two; but having been successfully met, the institution was put in a position to undertake other work in the field of applied science for which there existed a very strong case in the province. , prospectors' course. People who were practically inter ested in mining were frequently asking for a course which would only require a limited period of attendance at college. It was well known that many of them were trying such unsatisfactory devices as correspondence courses in their desire to learn how to recognize the important minerals, explore for them intelligently, estimate the value of mineral deposit, and secure a legal title. My colleague Professor Burwash drew up a syllabus, and made the necessary arrangements to carry it out. The mmeralogical work included laboratory demonstrations on the minerals usually sought by the prospector, together with practical blowpipe testing. The geological work consisted of a study of the rocks commonly met-with in prospecting in this province. The same practical aim led to the cutting down of the chemistry to the general prin ciples involved in assaying and the tieatment of ores. It was necessary to go into mining law in detail, and this was a part of the work for which ercumstances had given Professor Burwash some special opportunities to gain experience. The performance by the students of fire assay for silver and gold completed the course. ADAPTED SCIENCE COURSE. The idea of Principal Sipprell have received their fullest development in the Adapted Science Course, the object of which is to give students who are intended for industrial careers such training as will fit them to profit by those early years of practical life when their interest in their daily. ..work is keen, and their leisure sufficient, if properly turned to account, to fit them fur positions of responsibility. It has become quite impossible at the present day for the workman who is bent on self-improvement to avail himself of the stores of information contained in technical periodicals arid the manuals for specialists, unless he possess u familiar acquaintance with a certain range of mathematics applied mechanics and the physical science. The adapted science course has been expressly framed to supply this scientific training, and at the same time to-give such instruction in the laboratory and. dialing room as will make its practical application ea*y. The course follows lines which have been already tested in the technical schools ol England and Scotland. Certain changes-in detiiils have been necessary, owing to the points of difference in engineering practice between the Pacific and the old world. In this connection it lis a pleasing duty to acknowledge the extent of our indebtedness to. the chief inspector of boilers, Mr. John Peck. His official opportunities for knowing everything connected with engine and boiler practice in the province, combined with his varied professional knowledge and his well known interest in education, rendered his advice of the greatest value; and we hive . freely availed ourselves of it. The principles of mechanical engineering which bear on every industry must be given the central place in any such plan of study. The work groups itself naturally round the steam engine which affords by far the most useful series of object-lessons in the science of energy and the principles of mechanism that we can have at /present. I am glad to be able to say that an experimental engine and boiler, and a small dynamo will be available for our use in the laboratory next session; and will be possible by their aid to illustrate numerous points which are hardly to be grasped otherwise. The course of study extends over two years; but a third year will be desirable in the future as the department grows. The technical extent of the work of the first can be roughly gauged by the fact that it takes in the theoretical knowledge required for the provincial certificate qf second-class engin- eer;while the second year's work includes the theoretical requirements for the first-class certificates of both the provincial authorities and the Board of Trade. The special aim of the course however, is to lay a foundation of thoroughly mastered principles, on which can be arranged the special knowledge which ev.ry man who aims at holding a responsible position must have ready for use. The work of the second .year is much more technical. , WE EXCEL IN PRINTING T.

In discussing metal prices, the head of one of the leading copper selling agencies in New York is quoted as saying: "The recent buying of copper has not been by the small consumer, but by the General Electric, Western Electric and Connecticut brass interests.' "Some of the producing interests are refusing to sell on long time deliveries. Most of-the agencies have sold their August copper and there has been a good inquiry lor September, Octo.'.er and November delivery, but why should the producers sell so far ahead upon a rising market? "There is now no large supply of copper to be absorbed and the new copper that will come forward from Utah Copper, Greene-Cananea, Ely and the Boundary will find a ready market." "The demand for the metal is legitimate. The General Electric company when operating to full capacity, consumes 5,000,000 pounds of copper per month. Last fall its consumption was down as low as 1,500,000 pounds per month, while it is now between 3,000,000 an 4,000,000 pounds per month. This will explain the increas ing demand for the metal and why the price is advancing." PALACE LIVERY STABLES MURDOCK MclNT.RE, Prop. 35 Horses, Full Liyety Equipment,.
