Franklin Camp According to a correspondent at Franklin camp, the weather has-been phenomenally fine all winter, and work which in other years has had to be discontinued on account of the snow,hasproceeded merrily throughout the fall and winter season. The number of men at work on prospects has also been much more than usual, and. these are now being augmented by the arrival of the vanguard of the summer crowd. A spirit of optimism prevails, and the future prospects for the camp are regarded by everyone as exceedingly bright, as many of the properties bid fair to be of more than ordinary merit. A deal for the purchase, of the Union mine by a Nevada com pany is being negotiated. Gold bearing quartz has recently been discovered on Isaac creek near the C.P.R. tracks between Revel- stoke-and Arrowhead, and several claims have been staked. The snow- is pretty well gone in that region,1; and prospecting is going merrily on.j Capt. Rogers, the eminent-mining man, who is heavily interested in the Home.stake Gold Mining company,- is expected in Cranbrook this week. Immediately upon his arrival dei velopment work is expected to'start, when a force of men will be put to: work.���Herald.

Satisfactory arrangements are made for transportation, and the ore will all be sent to Granby. W. E.:.

Copper is remarkably strong and such large premiums are being paid for immediate delivery, that it is impossible to give anything better than approximate quotations. Lake is 19 to 21 cents, one sale at the latter price having been reported, and electrolytic is 18 to 18^ cents a pound. It is now clearly apparent that the world's available supplies of refined copper has been exhausted, and this means that the world's consumption duringthe eight months since the war began has been in the aggregate equivalent to full volume, while curtailment of production in the same period has left about 400,- 000,000 pounds unmined in the ground which otherwise would have come into the market. , The traders now feeling the effect of this, and it is reflected in the high prices being paid. The situation at present is such that copper prices may possibly advance to 25 cents or higher, this de- ticians, Loperism, private cars,' pending entirely upon how rapidly consumption mortgages, bonded indebtedness, incompetence, extravagance, and d-���d little intelligent development.

The most reliable advices state that the allied armies of Europe are in very great need of enormously increased ammunition supplies, and an advance of 10 or 20 cents per pound in the price of copper would not cause any curtailment of consumption for such purposes.��� Boston Commercial. German Paper's Demand The government of Canada is compounding a felony by permitting the publication of the ultra pro-german newspaper, Der Courier. This barefaced transplanted advocate of Prussian kulture, has the effrontery to demand the immediate release of all German and Austrian prisoners confined in Canadian concentration camps, and also the retu . to them of all confiscated arms. In the same breath, so to speak, it wants to know of what is the use of all the German societies and associations if "we do not devote them to our interests." According to Der Courier these "interests" are to be advanced by the election to parliament of men of German blood and speech. The worst thing about the affair is that the Ottawa authorities actually contemplate yielding to the demand for the release of alien enemies, and a perusal of the articles side by side with the accounts of the Prussian butchery of Canadian wounded and their illtreatment of British prisoners, forces one to the conclusion that either the Canadians of Regina are ,a strangely apathetic set, or the editor and staff of Der Courier must possess an unfathomable faith in the protective power of the Regina police force.

Hopeful Crop Prospects Boundary Dietriot of British Columbia RICH IN MINERAL, AQRIOULTURAL AMD LUMBERINQ POSSIBILITIES- A MOST PROMISING FIELD FOR THE INVESTOR. The part taken by Canada in this war has received more sympathetic support from prominent American editors than from the leaders of the Opposition at Ottawa. Saturday, May 1, "We' stand for a white B.C.," says a "clause in the Liberal platform. Yet Sir Wilfrid caused to be vetoedj-very act passed by the B.C. legislature that had as its object tKe exclusion of orientals from this province. He always blamed the Imperial government for his actions until Jos. Camberlain let the cat out ofthe bag and told the people of ��� this country that the British cabinet never had the slightest" objection to Canada passing exclusion legislation on the lines of the Natal Act. It is a well-known fact that more Chinese entered British Columbia after" the Liberals passed the $500 head tax than before its adoption. Something more drastic was needed, and is needed, but there is no reason for us to look for any relief to the Liberals of all people. If you think otherwise, just take a look at another plank of the Liberal plat- fort, that which advocates the grant- ing.ofhand loggers licenses. This is a fine way to make a white British Columbia, in straight view of the fact that this industry, like the fishing, was before its abolition, principally in the hands of the yellow race. If the Canadian papers continue to pay any more serious attention to the "hot air" reports of Italian intervention on the side of the Allies, the Italians in this country will absorb the impression that the ultimate issue of the war depends on.them.

A High Seas Comedy One of the most amusing episodes in connection with the career of the Emden has just come to light. It appears ^that the German raider put in at the Chagos islands in the southern part * of the Indian ocean, j for the purpose of cleaning the hull and taking on water. The island, which originally was Spanish, is a British possession with a population of about five hundred, and as soon as the vessel dropped anchor, the man ager of the island, an official of Spanish descent, started out to pay a ceremonial visit, quite unaware of the fact that war had been declared some weeks before. He in turn was received with every courtesy, and in' the course of a conversation the German captain informed him they were carrying out some manoeuvres with the British" fleet. They dis cussed the prospect of civil war in Ireland, but Captain Mueller could give the manager no information on that subject. The news of the death of the Pope brought forth expres. sions of sorrow from the manager, but his chief concern appeared to be the state of affairs in Ireland. The old man was charmed with the spirit of courtesy shown him, and begged the captain to come ashore and allow him to do something in the line of hospitality, but this was declined. "The manoeuvres were very important. My departure must not be delayed longer than was necessary," explained the naval officer. Diego Garcia regretted this. He would come again but was afraid it was impossible owing to a mishap to his. motor boat. The captain was distressed to hear of this and sent a couple of engineers ashore to repair the vessel. This act was just as promptly reciprocated by the natives cleaning and scraping the Emden's hull and the high seas comedy was further continued by the German warship , Correspondents throughout Canada report that the past winter has been exceptionally mild. In most of the provinces live stock have in consequence come well through and are in good condition. In some j>arts, notably in Saskatchewan, the light crops of last year rendered feeding difficult, and animals at the close of the winter were thin. In these cases, however, matters would have been much worse had the winter been of normal severity. An early spring was anticipated, and .he prospects for the coming season were hopeful. Farmers in consequence were advised to increase their seeded acreage to the fullest extent,-and their efforts were facilitated by the large amount of fall ploughing completed last year. ^ have conveniently forgotten the sailing away with a sackful ofthe debts they owe to one or other of the entente powers, and are likely to keep on forgetting as long as the stream of German gold keeps up.

"I doubt, however, if there is warrant for assuming that extraordinary business activity will return with the declaration of peace, and therefore, the lesson in economy that everybody has learned during the past couple of years should not be forgotten.

The mountains throughout its entire length and breadth, are almost without exception mineralifsrous, containing gold, silver, copper, iron and other valuable ores, while in a few localities there are niore than surface indications of the presence: of coal. . - . FOREST AND MINERAL WEALTH Its forest stretche. are among the richest in the province, and what is of great importance, easily accessable to river and railway. There is scarcely a square mile of it that is not either equipped with high tension wires, or which could not be reached by the expenditure ofthe smallest outlay. Not the least attraction from the point of view of the investor, is the sites for water power, which abound in this district. Just at present an immense amount of interest is being directed to the recent free gold discovery in Greenwood, while in the same district is to.be seen one of the best equipped free gold properties in the west, a not inconsiderable asset in these days of industrial depression and shrinkage of gold reserves. It is in this district where is situated the Phoenix and Grand Forks properties of the. Granby Consolidated, to- gether with those of the British Columbia Copper company. In the former camp, and surrounding it for miles on all sides, are acres of crown-granted mineral claims, all awaiting the advent of the investor. The title deeds to these properties, thanks to a beneficent series of mining laws, are unimpeachable, and if proof, is wanted of the statement, let us point to the almost entire absence of mining litigation in the courts ofthe province. AGRICULTURE AND FRUIT-GROWING CENTRE The possibilities of the Boundary as an agricultural and fruit-growing centre are also worthy of investigation, and a visit to some of its spendidly equipped orchards will prove a revelation to the stranger. The highways throughout the Boun- dary makes this section of the province the motorists paradise, millions having been spent on the construction of government roads. No locality is better served with railroads than the Boundary district. At present this section is served by two of the greatest systems on the continent, the C. P. R. and Great Northern companies, while within a few months the route to the Pacific coast will be commercially curtailed by the opening of the new K. V. V. branch of the former.

Within the next few days the motion picture entertainments in the Miners' Union hall will be resumed. The new chairs are all in place, the improvements in connection with the fire screen around the machine passed by the provincial police, and all that remains to be done is to wait for the arrival of the films and a few additional accessories for the apparatus. .

Increased 40 Per Cent Those who are convinced that the way to temperance reform lies along the pathway of reducing the selling hours of hotels, ought to consider, the statement made by Lloyd-George, to, the effect that "notwithstanding the curtailment of the hours they are allowed to keep open,'the receipts of the public houses in the neighborhood of the shipyards has greatly increased, in some cases forty per cent." Too True The following true-to-life pen picture ofthe Canadian House of Commons appeared recently in the Outlook, one of the foremost of American hard-thinking journals: "It is war time, and to the field c f battle Canada has sent many of 1 er sons. Yet the discussion of the issues of vital importance to the welfare of those sons, and perhaps to he success of those battles, is here being carried on in a spirit of bitterness that is strangely more reminis. cent of the legislatures of America than of the solemn assemblages of the European nations at war. There seems an astounding lack of common purpose���politics in all its worst brawling American fashion is the dominating game. The Whigs and the Tories of old, the Protectionists and the Free-traders, the Conservatives and the Liberals as they prefer to be called, have preferred to indulge in partisan warfare rather than to unite in a common stand for the protection of the country and for the successful furtherance of that grimmer warfare into which they so enthusiastically plunged. Postoffice and army scandals, financial instability, subservience to the 'interests,' corruption, are all being aired with a political venom that we are unfortunately accustomed to associate with Wash- ington and Albany. Libelous accusations are" being hurled back and forth; graft, even treason is openly charged. Criticism is piling high on both sides of the House until both parties realize the necessity for calling a halt, and are predicting a national election in the near future."

This model means Lighter Touch, Improved Base, Greater All-Round Efficiency, Less Mental and Physical Effort. Speed records that have never been equalled. The first thing which invariably strikes the attention of one examining the "Silent Seven" for the first time is the wonderfully responsive touch. No one dreamed that such a delightful touch could be embodied in the mechanism of a machine. The new tabulator is a marvel of efficiency. The carriage slides noiselessly to the appointed place and stops without ajar���an accomplishment which will lengthen the life of the machine.
