Norcross, Jun., general superintendent of the B. C. Copper company, and C. M. Campbell assistant-supt, of the Granby mine, Kenneth Ca'mp- bell, representing the company now manufacturing the new mining explosive, "Steelite," gave a practical demonstration of' its efficiency at the Mother Lode, Rawhide and Granby mines this week. It was also given a thorough working test by Ola JLofstad of the Argo Tunnel company at Greenwood, where owing to the extreme depth of the workings, and consequent lack of ventilation, much valuable time has been lost owing to the necessity of having to await the clearing away of the deadly dynamite fumes after blasting, before work could be resumed. The results at the Argo as in addition to its rock-breaking properties the entire absence of fumes was such that work could have been resumed almost immediately. True there was some smoke, but if anything there was less than is usually the.case when dynamite is employed. At the Mother Lode mine, seven holes in exceptionally hard rock were charged, the new powder again giving a fine account of its power under ordinary working conditions. A further trial of its capabilities in smashing boulders proved another triumph for the inventor, the masses of mineral rock being al converted into incredibly small pieces. On one occasion a huge piece of rock was selected by Mr. Norcross, and a charge less in weight than is ordinarily used, was exploded and the mass-brokenl.itp.. ,- ' - -A .similar record followed the demonstration' at the Granby '.'mine, where experiments were conducted in the presence ofthe mine foreman, John Swanson, and the assist.-foreman' John McLaughlin." Here two holes, measuring 16 feet each, were lar success as that at the Mother Lode followed its use- as a ''bulldozer." At the Rawhide mine on Thursday, a quantity of the new explosive was used in two holes, 10 and 15 feet respectively, the ground breaking clean to the bottom, and there again as a "bulldozer" it sustained the claim of its manufacturers as a most effective mining agent. A test for fumes was made by the mine foreman, John Finlay, who experienced not the slightest discomfort when he visited a spot immediately / after a particularly effective shot. Tests were also made by striking the stuff with a hammer, shooting holes in it with a pistol and by burning it. It has also the .advantage over dynamite of .not being susceptible to frost and contains no nitro-glycerine. At present it is . being manufactured by B. C. Mining were a surprise to the management, hand, until the new factory- now under construction at Mill creek, opposite New Denver, is completed. Brick Plant at Hidden Creek Machinery for the Granby Hidden Creek mine has been delivered in time with the exception of the water wheels equipment which we understand has been somewhat delayed. At present there is ��4 very large consignment of smelter and power machinery awaiting shipment at Seattle, Wash. The railroad is practically finished and now operated by steam. Four locomotives and nine flat cars are the equipment used. The brick plant is in operation with several hundred thousands of bricks ready for burning; the quality of the brick seems to be excellent. It is officially stated that the original, estimates will not "be ex- ���cfetro^r"��^xpt-tii-F:casc *of��s'ihe>*'"p��6i- limxnary-work of clearing and excavating, which developed some difficulties not fully foreseen. The outlook i.s highly.gratifying. All the ground in which there is a possibility of gold being found at the scene ofthe new Shusanna strike have been : raked out, aud now the overflow- is being carried .to the Canadian side where claims on Horsefelt and Pan creeks have been recorded. Conditions look cheerful around the Ottawa mine. The Consolidated Mining & Smelting company, has eighteen men employed doing work preliminary to substantial development. Considerable rich ore is being found in the dumps and old workings. Although no confirmation is at hand, it is reported that a five foot vein has been struck. The big bore of the Portland Canal Tunnels, Limited, to tap the Glacier creek vein series at depth was in a distance of 1,801 feet when measured up on the 21st inst. ' Itvis Healthy Copper Market The continued stoppage of shipments from the Lake region has strongly influenced the price of the r?d metal on the London market, where considerable business was transacted at 70 pounds sterling per ton during the latter days of August. This has caused some eagerness on the part of consumers who were out of stocks, or nearly so, to secure fresh supplies at the lowest price obtainable.. These buyers have accordingly come into the market and buying has consequently been on a larger scale. The stocks of copper visible in the United Kingdom continue to shrink in size, and with the present demand ou home and export account, and the wilholding for the time being of the lakeside contribution, the stocks of the metal in Europe must, it would seem, continue to go down. The Boston Commercial says, in part, that Copper continues to show now in approximately 1,850 feet Mining circles throughout the north increasing strength and an advance- are following with intense interest ing tendency. Lake is 16^ cents and electrolytic is 16^ to i6$4 cts. per pound. Domestic and foreign consumers are paying the same prices, and the demand abroad seems even stronger than it is here. The export movement of the past month was very heavy and' is likely to continue. Advices from all important manufacturing centres state that the copper and brass trades are more active than ever and record tonnages of copper are going into consumption all over the world. During August the visible~supply of copper at all foreign points de creased .3,543,680 pounds the work being carried out and it will be but a short period now before the tunnel encounters the vein series. Another mining property within two miles of Hope is now being developed. The Murphy mine a mile ^bove Hope Station on the north of the Fraser, was located and developed in the early '60's. It is No. 4 among the crown granted mineral claims of the province and its dimensions are 200 and 600 feet. Grouped with it now are the Hope, Extension, Gold Coin and Silver Phoenix Man Electrocuted A telegram from Dan. Matheson, superintendent of the Siver King mine at Nelson, was' received by Jasi Marshall, ofthe Brooklyn hotel, on Saturday, informing him of the death, that morning, by misadventure, of Jeff McEachern, a familiar figure among the miners of this camp. According to an account by eye-witnesses, McEachern was amusing himself trying, to dislodge a squirrel that had climbed, one of the poles sustaining the high-tension power- lines. His companions repeatedly warned him of the danger he was running, but in spite of all advice and remonstrance, he procured an eighteen-feet steel rod and attempted to reach the animal, with the awful result that the bar came into contact with the wire and diverted a current of 20,000 volts into his body. Immediate steps were taken by those near him to restore animation, and on the arrival of medical aid in the person of Dr. Hartin, that gentleman expressed the opinion that death had been in- staneous. The deceased miner, who was about 37 years of age, had spent many years in the Boundary, coming to British Columbia "about sixteen years ago from Websters Corners, Prince Edward Island, where he held a position as teacher in one of the schools there. The funeral took place at Nelson on Tuesday. Death of Gladys Pope at Merritt The friends of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Pope, formerly of Phoenix, will learn with considerable sorrow of the death at Merritt, on Tuesday morning, of their youngest daughter, Gladys. TheJittle girl was attacked a couple of weeks ago with a severe internal inflamatory complaint, which in spite of every care and skilful attention defied all efforts to control. The funeral took place on Thursday at Merritt. The deceased was quite a' daughter of Empire, having been born at Pretoria, South Africa, about seven years ago, and previous to the family's removal-to Merritt in the Nicola, she was among the most promising pupils in the lower division ofthe Phoenix public school. The sad affair .threw quite a gloom over local Pythian circles, with whom both parents were closely identified. At the general meeting of the Phoenix Lodge, Knights of Pythias, on Tuesday, a resolution of sympathy with the family in their affliction was carried, and ordered to be wired immediately. The sisters of the Pythian temple, of which Mrs. Pope is a past presiding officer, forwarded a beautiful wreath. The Granby Consolidated Mining Smelting & Power Co. Limited.

The property has been under, development for the past three years, and had depended on shipping facilities for connections with the Great Northern Railway, Which has run a spur of fifteen miles in length from Princeton to the mine. The property includes practically all the known coal in the Tulameen basin, which has an area, according to Charles Camsell of the Geological Survey, of 3700 acres, of which 3254 acres carry coal. Mr. Camsell estimated the thickness of coal at 20 feet included in several seams, and gave an estimated amount of 65,000,000 tons that could be extracted by mining. That platinum as well as gold exists in the bottom of the Lardo river valley, is the belief of C. H. Buscb- ner, of Philadelphia, Pa., owner of the gold dredge which has been working successfully all summer at Goldhill, a point on the Lardo river a few miles .this side of Poplar. In proof of his assertion, Mr. Buschuer, who was in Kaslo a few days ago, en route east to purchase mote machinery, was exhibiting a small glass phial containing a brown colored dust, with bright specks, liberally sprinkled through it, said dust said to contain platinum by some who had previous knowledge of the appearance of that metal. Mr. Buschner has had no assays made yet but claims that he has satisfied himself by a chemical test that the strange looking material in the little bottle carries platinum values.���Kootenain. further reduction -of 15,000,000 . to 20,000,000 pounds in the American surplus.

NORTHRUP FOWLER, Secy. e Death of an Early Coast Pioneer Mrs. Chas. Campbell left hurriedly on Monday morning for the home of her parents, at Vancouver, in response to a wire announcing the serious illness of her lather, Jas. McGeer. Mrs. Campbell, however, was unable to reach her destination in time to see her father before he died, the sad event taking place on the morning of the day she left here. Mr. MeGeer, although only 58 years of age at the time of his death, was among the earliest pioneers of Vancouver, and had been associated with that city and district for about thirty years. He was a native of Dublin, Ireland, and a keen student of political affairs. He is survived by the widow and a numerous family of sons and daughters.

The opportunist who flings his hands to heaven, and calls upon the people of Canada to bear witness that he is the Prince of Conciliation, went down to- St. Hyacinthe the other week and appealed for support to' the French Canadians of Quebec because, forsooth, he was one of the same race and creed as they were. It is easier for a leopard to change ifs spots, or for Hon. Frank Oliver to sing the National Anthem, than for Laurier to cut away from this miserable business of appeals to race and creed. On the slightest opportunity he casts aside his mask of conciliation, and stands reveals as the demagogue. "Anything to beat Borden," is his slogan, and therefore he calls upon his compatriots tb vote on racial lines. When Laurier by his servile majority in the senate���a majority which he created���prevented Canada from taking her share in, the naval burdens of this Empire, and from playing. a man's part, he proved that his much-vaunted affection for Britain and British institutions, was , a mere pretence. By his action he alienated the sympathy of the vast majority of loyal Canadians, who believe we should do something more to show our appreciation of the privileges .of Empire citizenship, than by making speeches about it. And on the very first occasion, Laurier tells the people of his native province that they should support him���not because of any- progressive policy he has to offer, but merely because ,he happens to be one of themselves. Could anything be more paltry or petty? It is the same old game, and like all others of its kind will prove a losing one in the end. The intelligent electorate of this Dominion will not permit themselves to be led away by the frantic appeals of a vainglorious and defeated politician. portance was passed on Friday of last week by the New Westminster Presbytery, representing the Presbyterians'of Vancouver and the lower mainland. Like ajl other public bodies who have registered protests against the Asiatic influx into this cohntry, they view the situation with considerable alarm, and unlike the rest have spoiled their resolution by the suggestion that whereas as at present the proportion of male Orientals in British Columbia i.s as five to one of the white, male population, the invasion from Asia should be stopped until-the proportion had reached something like one male Asiatic to thirty whites of the same sex. But why should we allow them in at all, if, as the Presbyterians have declared, their moral and social standing is not of the best, for whether their numbers are as one in five or one in thirty they will continue to herd * together in colonies, the smell of which at meal times would drive away a hungry pariah dog. But, perhaps the most astounding part of the resolution is the recommendation that the government raise the bars and "allow the wives of those Hindus that are already" here to come in. No mention is made of the children, but this is no doubt an inadvertent omission, and was also the failure of the presbytery to state/which of he wives in the case of a polyga - mous marriage were to be allowed to enter. Both would be perfectly legitimate as the laws in India recognize to the fullest extent the practice of polygamy. ���' pen tingle .**��- Hose bearing- the "%* Penman trademark snuggle "^"\\ like a second skin to every curve �� of foot and limb: They,do not S. rip, or tear, because there is not a * seam about them.

Automatic Rifle Barred According to a- recent statement by the acting-premier, W. Bowser, the automatic rifle is among the firearms forbidden by law to be used in this province. In replying to a deputation that had called upon him urging a change in the existing law regarding the use of the repeating shotgun, Mr. Bowser in promising to give the matter his attention, stated that the law had -been designed to prohihit the indiscriminate slaughter of birds and -animals, and while the, members of established gun clubs who owned pump-guns might not misuse their weapons, hunters for the market might, and in administering the law they could show no discrimination. The Act had barred the.use of the automatic rifle, and they felt that the repeating shotgun came under the same heading. Hotel Brooklyn The Only First-Class and Up-To-Date Hotel in Phoenix.

The Delicacy ofthe Summer.Season��� FAMOUS CURLEW ICE CREAM-TRY ONE KNOB HILL AVENUE Fine "Market" For Our Wheat To the reciprocity priests, who were advocating a market in the United States for Canadian wheat, the latest Washington reports must make interesting reading. The American government report shows that a record-breaking winter crop has been safely harvested in the United States. The yield is 511,- 000,000 bushels or 18.000,000 bushels more than the big yield of 1906. There is also a heavy yield of spring wheat so that the total U.S. wheat crop is placed at 744,- 000,000 bushels. This means the republic will have- a surplus of at least 150,000,000 bushels for export. A fine chance the Canadian farmer would have in that-market with this surplus, and no wonder need be expressed that the Winnipeg wheat quotations are 15 cents higher than the prices in Minneapolis. It is also no wonder that the Liberal journals have little to say these days about free trade in wheat with our American cousins. In addition, as was pointed out by Con servatives at the time'the agreement! was being discussed, the Democrats are giving Canada all the advantages of reciprocity without the necessity of this country throwing open its markets to their surplus products. The Democratic tariff, as it now stands, provides that wheat may be placed on the free list. Predicts Much Privation Napier Denison, of the Meteorological office, returned recently to Vancouver from a tour of the upper country stations, says a,coast paper. At Dawson he met Andy Taylor, one of the discoverers of the rich gold staike at Shushanna, who "was returning with supplies to enable his party to develop their property. Large sums of money are already being offered for the neighboring claims, but the general opinion of old miners is that far too great a number from the outside are rushing in, and that the season is already closing, which means great suffering and possible starvation to the inexperienced. If those eminent geologists are looking for a field of inquiry, they might examine the rocky road over which the Liberal party of British Columbia are now travelling. If you invented a machine that could think, and you were the only man who- knew anything about it, every man you showed it to would tell you how to improve on it. d. l.

Rumberger, the original locator of the Phoenix townsite, came in during the week from Regina, Sask. Mr. Rumberger has now^disposed of his interests in~the_brewei yjthore and i/xpects that when all his other business iu Regina has been concluded, he will make his future headquarters on the coast. Geo. Jenks and Fred Frederick ijer turned on Saturday, f*om Halcyon, considerably benefited by their stay. Tlie latter ^returned with sufficient' duck's and geese to stock a small farmyard. Unfortunately, he was obliged to leave the following Monday for Spokane, where he has undergone ah operation for appendicitis. Phoenix football team "has been in Shortage of Gold Supply J. F. Callbreath, secretaty of the American Mining congress, believes that.unless the mining industry finds a method of treating low-grade ores at a profit, the United States has reached the maximum of its gold production. He further says that an increase in the production of gold is absolutely necessary for any expansion of business, and without this the United States will have to stand still and mark time. At the sixteenth annual conven- lion of the American Mining Congress, to be held in Philadelphia on October 20th to 25th, men of national reputation will discuss the gold question as one. of serious moment. It is likely that the con gress will request the United States government to take up at once through the national bureau of mines, the question of the profitable treatment of low-grade gold ores. Mr. Callbreath says: "The most formidable-economic problem confronting the country is the inadequate metallic support for the increasing credit necessary to continued business expansion. -,The annual world production of gold, less than $500,000,000, is theoretically estimated to furnish a proper basis for a credit expansion of $2,500,000,000, while the annual expansion of the world's" credit approximates $5,000,000,000 annually. The United States produces approximately one-fifth of the world's gold supply, but her proportion of business expansion and accompanying credit is much greater."

Among the visitors in town this week was Claude McAstocker, now associated with the big Nelson dairying firm of McAstocker and Robinson.
