It is predicted that  within two years the , Marysville  smeltor will have several copper  stacks,iu operation.

Capital cannot  fidd a richer field for investment  than in the Fort Steele district.  One effect of the curtailment  of the Australian fluxes has been  the offering of much better rates  by the Cardiff to Kootenay lead  producers, these being stated to  ,be ��0 a ton better than-was given  a year ago.  "Trail and Moyie" said G. O.  Buchanan, "have so far been the  bright, and bustling places in. the  Kootenay, but Marysville will  soon rank with them as a locality  where there is plenty of work  going on.

Indeed the president'!-,  voice put high C crescendo on  that Whoop-e-e that drowned  everything else except., the bass  of Major Llewellyn.  ��� The president took the lid off  when,he foregathered with liis  rough riders. Then with his  high hat pushed 'back on' his  head, his eyes dancing aud his  smile displaying every tooth, "lie  was a rough rider himself.  Rough' riders were ..mobilized  on the fair grounds about three  miles from San Antonio in May,  1898. ' The president 'has not  been in San Antonio since, but  he was not forgotten. He spoke  about it. -'When,! was last  here," he said, "nobody in the  world dreamed that I would return as president."  The rough riders disagreed.  "Hell!",, they said, -'we knew, il-  all the timo."  The president held a reception  standing ,    out       under        the  big trees  that  line   the   gravel  walk   '  The  rough ..riders came ,  up  one  by one.    The president!  called mosl of them by, tlie.ir first'j-  names, occasionally ho called  a j  '���Bill" "Jim, "or thought "flank' i  was '���Tom" but usually he knew !  them   before they were present- j  ed to him. , ��� ;  Several of the troopers had!  been waiting for a chance to '  make a request.1"  "Colonel," said one, , "we've  ��ro1 some o-' our women folks  hero.    Can we present thorn?"  "Preseni.them! Well I should  say you can.     Bring them up.'  The ladies   were brought   for-  I ward,   a.  tittering,   embarrassed  bunch.       There    were    wives,  j daughters,   mothers  and  sweet- ,  i hearts.     ' i  "Ladles." said tho president,  after ho tuid shaken hands with  all of them, "you arc the only  ones put .before my rough  riders."' ��� j  Then turning to the tickled j  men.  "Boys, " he.continued, "1 con*:  gratulate you on your good taste'  in selecting your wives and other  I female relatives.    T certainly am '  i  ] proud of you."  The president- talked for an.  hour across the table with the t  troopers. They told stories of  the.r experiences,  recounted the  braverv   of     individuals,     both  i  there  and   absent,   and drank a;  toast in coffee to "Bucky O'Neil, :  Hamilton Pish,   Captain  Capronj  and others of the regiment   who  were killed. - -p ���'..."/' I  When he left'for the hotel the j  rough riders who stood in ai  group,waving farewells, said:      :  "Is it any wonder we would j  all go to hellfor him?".
