The road when completed will p.iss close to the properties of the Old Gold and Primrose Mining companies. The properties are located about half h mile apart on one of the blanches of the Duncan river,' four miles froin the main river. The upper tunnel on the Old Gold prnpeity is now in for a distance of 100 feet, exc-l usi ve of ci Obscuts. The tunnel is being dtiveil along the lead. The lead has lieen ciosscut twice. Crosscut No. 1 shows the ledge matter to be nine feet in width w ft li an mo shoot of 10 inches of high griule cdiiientiating cue. The oie cairies considerable gray copper, high values in silver and some gold. One smeller test went $3.20 in gold. l.VJ ounces in silver aiul 55 per cent lead. Ciosscut No 2 exposes eight inches of high grade concentrating ore. The development vvill ciintiiiue throughout lhe winter under contract.

The low stone wall enclosing the garden behind shone -S-hite, while all around lay brown groups of tbe men who had done their best to get through to Johannesburg and* failed. On th? slopes above, hundreds of irregular horsemen, rough and unkempt, with slouch hats and bandoliers, came circling around and winding to tho little farmhouse, on which the small white flag fluttered in the breeeze. Grouped in front of the building was a knot of officers, the leaders of the expoOSHon. with surrender writ large on- ever? tacg. At the head of the advancing horde rode a burly figrtte in a .dirty slouch hat, stooping in ins saddle, unclean and unkempt, everything about him betokening neglect; the wretched looking, ungroomed horse, the antiquated saddlery, the rusty steel, everything.

For the growlh of Jo hannesburg has during the last Hire years been at a standstill, if, inUee the malign Influence ot politics has uo checked or even paralyzed it. A ver decent, roomy bouse, which a tc vears ago might have been wort ������300 a vear to its landlord, could tm vear have ben secured at a rent o riO a month. "Furnished apartment in the most reputable quarters of th town could be had at the rat. of 1 shillings a week. Time was when the same rooms brought in neart treble that amount. Competition ha made itself felt in wares ot every kind Clothing and haberdashery tetche only about twico the price the sam " g66ds would have conim_iided in n ���������Strand There was a decided slump !n toe price of foodstuffs.

Ilia Int-Tcitlne Story of How He Did Not Rob the Bauk Vault. "I was cashier of a bank in Pennsylvania a good many years ago," suid the man who wns traveling on a deadhead puss, "and after n couple of years 1 mude up my mind that things wore too slow for me. In other words, I decided to gobble up what money I could and skip for Europe nnd go into business on my own hook. I bided my time, and one night, when I knew I could lay my hands on about $00,000, I prepared to bid the town goodby. I had a key to thc bank and another to the vault, nnd as we had no watchman inside I had no trouble in getting in. It was about midnight when I made my raid, and I hadn't opened the vnult yet, when tbe bank door was unlocked, and the president entered. He had nu empty carpetbag under bis arm and gut weak in the knees when lie saw me. \\V hadn't passed a question when another key clicked, nnd the manager entered. IIo also had an empty carpetbag, and he also got weak in the knees. The three of us snt down, each with an empty bn; at his feet, and looked at each other for a long time. It was the president who .spoke tlrst, and he said: "I was worried nbout the funds in the vnult." "So was I," said the manager. "So was 1," I added. "And hadn't we better seo if lhey are safe?" "I think we had." "So do I." "Then tlie president unlocked the vault, mil the three of us stepped inside and as .iired ourselves that the funds wore all 'right. As vve cnine out nnd the doors weie locked behind us he said: "1 found this old carpetbag on thc street ns I came nloug." "And I found this," said tlie manager. "And I found this," I added. "There was an interval of painful silence, nnd we all walked out together. The outside wntclinian came up as wo did so, and the president observed: "Special meeting, you see, James. You'd bettor go inside for tlie rest of the night." "Yes, Inside," snid tlie niaiiagcu*. "Yes, inside, Jumes," I added. ".Innios was locked in the bank." continued the ex-cashier, "nnd we bade each other good night and separated. It wns nn even up thing so far as it went, and it ought to hnve been to to the end, but tbe lipnost man is always'the one to suffer. Next day I got the bounce. The president said Hint he nnd .the manager hnd been thinking things over nnd hnd come to the conclusion Hint I hnd been tempted to rnb the bank nnd would have got away with every dollar if they hndn't happened to show up. I was honest iu acknowledging it and lind to go, and I believe they had their salaries raised for their zeal and solicitude." ��������� Chicago News. j The Alert tittle Chipmunk.

No one can lead the troops of t he iVaimnunga into armed conflict except the taupou, or maid of Vaialn. Without a taupou no Samoan army can hope to ba victorious. "I will load you, my brothers," sold Sueina, when tiey asked her, "if you think me fit." A cry of joy was the Samoans' reply, aud Sueina was installed as their taupou. There wus a long preparation for tlm light that they knew must come. Snuina must pray first and then anoint herself. All this wns done, nnd then enmc tht morning when the white men advanced to seize for themselves what the simple Snmoans believed was their birthright, uud for which they resolved to light in their fathers had fought before them. There is a tradition in Samoa that victory will surely rest with the Samoniis ia every light if .the taupou kill, the lint living thing that crosses her path u fter she sturts out at thc head of her host. Ahead ran two men to clear the track, shouting in lusty Sumoan their winnings. Across tbe march of the army run a small boy, terrified, fleeing like a hen into the face of thc foe. "Kill him, O taupou; kill him, nnd victory is surely ours!" shouted the vnn- gunrd. Poor Sueina! She had been brought up by the missionaries. It was till very well to go into honorable battle and tc die.herself, if needs be, but to take tli������, life of a harmless child was another matter. She hesitated. Suddenly'a though! struck her. ' "Bnck, bnck!" she cried. "It wns not the boy who first crossed my path, btil bis dog." Find him quickly or we wil1 not win the fight today." A dog isn't such a rarity in Samoa, unil in a minute a shout of joy told that a wnrriorhnd found ono. The army, now a frenzied mob, eairei for blood, gathered around her.

Many people marvel why, they suffer so frequently with cold in the head. The iii.uter hns pii-i-led even the omniscient doctor, nud his only explanation was Hint some persona were constitutionally inclined tliat way.

Present: Piesident, H. A. Brown, Secretary Shaw, W. M. Lawrence, J. M. Scott and J. Abrahamson. , Copies of very conciliatory communications from the Postmaster- General and comptroller of the mail clerk service, to the- amalgamated board of trade of Kootenay were read relating to the complaints with regard to the Kootenay mail service. Mr, Mulock promised a tri-weekly service to Ferguson during, the navigation season and bi-weekly in, the winter. The chief business before the council was with regard to the contemplated improvements to be done by the Dominion to the navigation of the upper river at the Nine Mile Riffle. The president stated ' that J. J. Roy.', Dominion Engineer, had been in town on Wednesday and told him that there was an appropriation of $4,000, which he proposed to expend at that point. From the statements of Capt. Troup and Gore, he considered that the canyon had been improved as far as it was -possible. He was prepared to start the work" at once, but wauled Capt. Gore to visit the ground and mark out the work, since he felt that he could depend on his knowledge of of the rivei at all stages of the water. Mr. Roy said that he was aware that a consider.ible'amount.' perhaps 25 or 30.000 dollars would be required to put the navigation of the river to the Death rapids in a satisfactory condition, but that it would be no use asking parliament to make an appropriation of such an amount for this purpose until it could be actually shewn that a steamboat service was established on the upper river. Mr. Roy asked Chas. Holten to take the position of foreman of the works, which nre to be commenced as soon as Capt, Gore lias made his report and will continue until the snow is too deep, when the work will be over till spring. At the conclusion of the. president's remarks, himself and J.' M. Scott were appointed a committee to wait on Supt. Duchesnay in order to get Capt. Gore's services. The meeting then adjourned.
