It c (insists in taking Up n case on tho understanding that _the lawyer gets a certain stated rake oil', if his client wins. IT he loses, he-gets nothing. This kind of, a deal is called champerty and is illegal. Mr. Martin wants to legalize it. Why 'nobody knows, since it is one of the commonest kind of transactions, whether legal dr illegal and his learned brethren must have their knives into a lawyer, prutty b,id before lie is liable to get jacked up for it. . But Mi*. Martin wants to legalize it in the supposed interests of the "'poor miner." This is-entirelygratuitous. The miner is quite capable of looking after himself, thutikynu.'

He may not have, in ninety nine cases out of n hundred us..i mutter of cold fact he has not, packed several stakes weighing some sixty pounds apiece some five hiindi ed or a thousand feet or more up the side of a mountain like the side of a house, in Order to stake out his location.

GEOt.OGY OF TIIK DlfiTltlCT The coal measures are said to occur in a basin on the east side of Crow's Nesj mountains���������as this partof the Rocky Mountains lias come lo be known locally. It is said that the underlying formation is limestone wliich in turn rests uni-onfoi-iuaiily against the older woks which rise from lhe central portion of these mountains, and which may by their elevation have bioken through an immense coal, basin which at one time may have comprised both" tlie Crow's Nest and Blairnlore fields.. Tl'e oc-ciiri ence of sandstone ui.d shules separate the numerous seams which vary from a. determined thickness ot 3) feet down to 4 teet. 'A belt of conglomerate overlying one of the highest nt these seams ot coal traverses the countiy contormably with the formation uii'l is traceable for several miles. The general strike of the coal seams is ( ueaily north and south, with if. dip to tlie west of at fiom 55 to 00 degiees ns determined by. it limited observation. The root of the seams is shales, strong and tough, and though .somewhat broken atsutface, show tiy the meagre development to be less disturbed below. The lloor is usually sandstone,- where exposed and it is probable the rule* as oliserved will hold, good throughout Ibeaiea. These co.tl* measures ure undoubtedly of Cretaceous age. ��������� * DEyKLOp-lfENT The development consols, of "severa. trenches or open cuts across the outcrops of the veins or seams and'thi-et tunnels just st.tt ted tojprove llie'seaui--. at gi eater depth. .. ,*.,.',"������������������ Tunnel No. 1 is being riin trf strike the iu,iI at au elevation above-tbe uvei ot nUO feet, and will no doubt be continued tin several bundled feet and ciosscuts be run to cut oilier known seams at depth.'- -i ���������'��������� ��������� T.mnel Nu. 2 is at .in'.elevation about 150 leet higher anil to the west ot No. 1. i'his will be continue".! for several hundred feet, then connected wilh No. 1 by an incline to the i-i-n-.it ut. iii addition to these tunnel-, .t trnss- cui, tunnel has been started some 700 feet higher than N". :. tunnel, which vs being driven lo lhe weft lo entail the exposed seaiii-s al lhis point. Tins al present constitutes all the woik laid out, but as development proceeds and c iiise ,111 ise.-i for it. upenings will be made.' It is the' intention, of li.e syndicate to piove the ground as to quantity of coal and its quality. Parties who have gone over the ground recently are not disposed to make anv detinue estimaies,as ihey say development would . not, justify lliem. but it is generally admitted that the showing and cbaincterislics of the coal seams justify laige expendituics in development,- , The coal isvery firm and free from grit or stone.���������bone, as the miners call it���������and signs of t-tnlts are rai e indeed. One exposure shows a seam of clean co.tl, 30 feet thick, another seam over 30 feet tnnk is exposed, and otheis down to four feet are shown by c inland exposures. We have not "been able tosee analyses of these coals, 'but have been assured upon reliable authority tlfat'from-50 to 70 per cent of carbon is piesent; with from 22 to 23 per cent ot volatile matter, and from less than 5 to nearly 20. per'cent of ash." Some ot the seams produce 'a superior grade of coking coal, while others aie non-coking but excellent for steam purposes. ���������" Transportation ot the best may be afforded by, building a halfmile spur from the Crow's Nest'railway ai Blairmore, froin.which point an easy grade may be obtained. , y The market for the product of 'these colleries is excellent in the province of Albeitn, British Columbia, and in- the United States. There is demand in the markets already afforded for millions of tons additional coal annually, and the smelting plants of British - Columbia will hail with gratitude this new source for coke supply. "Predictions as.to tho future of thei-e Blairmore ro.il fields cannot be made with any degree of accuracy, but it' ordinary conditions prevail .they promise to become' an important source of supply. Unlike ore, the product ,of the collieries cannot be reduced on the grounds except inlo coke wheie the proper class of coal exists, but piovidea large* tonnage for railroads; therefore we may expect to see some active lailroad building into tlie field at an ear.ly date; in.fact, it is positively asserted thut - the .

Thisbeemed interesting and Mr. Gordon undertook its extraction, with the result that a black hut pin four and a' half-inches'long with the,iisii.il knob on the end was taken out of the cat, which had apparently swnlIo\ve.d the pin, knob first on* Wednesday of liist week and had been packing it round ever, since, fiio ,bleeding ensued, though .the knob naturally made quite a wound, wheie it came out.

With this exception, tha arrangements wero nil that coald bo desired and tho sale waa conducted without a hitch. George Jackson., of Port Perry, wielded tho hamster to the satisfaction of all concerned, and contributed largely to tho success ofthe sale. ..He was assisted by T. W. McDermott of Ottawa, and it ia worthy of remark as showing a desire to encourage these sales that both gent- lemont gave their services ffeo of charge Thn sale was opened by Hon. Sydney Fisher, who expressed his pleasure at the action of the Ontario board of agriculture in inaugurating these sales and predicted that they *c/ould speedily result in a marked improvement, in the live stock of the country. It had been objected to by-some of thoso who had examined the cattle that they were rather thin in con- diton. but this Mr. Fisher thought was an advantage, as lt would onabls the breeders better to judge of the quality. An interesting statement was mado to the minister in regard to the tuberculosis test for animals going across tho border. Last week, he said, he .went to Washington and secured a modification of 'the regulations existing relating.to the tent of all animals entering tho United States, eo that, in future the _certificate of the Dominion department of agriculture 'would be 'recognized by ths Washington, authorities. If - Americans - present ~ purchased stock at the sale the animals would be tnste'd fro by tho officials of his department and the certificate would be honored at tho frontier. The salo was in several respects somewhat of a surprise. At Guelph. the demand was almost entirely for Shorthorns; the dairy breeds were at a discount and -found but few purchasers. This, of course, waa not difficult of explanation. Guelph is tho centre of tho beef raising district and consequently it was but natural that dairy cattlo should be somewhat of a "drug on tlie markot there. -At Ottawa it was expected that the Jesuits would be different. Dairying is tho principal agriculturel industry of the district which thc Ottawa sale was Intended to serve and it waa thought that there would be no difficulty in disposing of some good dairy cattle there. Accordingly quite a number of Ayrshlres, together with a few Holsteins and Jerseys, were put up, hut to tho surprise of all concerned, the demand for these was by no means brisk and the sale, like the one at Guelph, was largely a Shorthorn sale. This breed was the xavnrita and brought, good prices in almost every instance, and thero is no doubt that double the number could nave been-sold had they been of thc same quality as those disposed of. Just why the dairy cattle should have been at a discount it,is difficult to say. It is true that as a-whole they wore not In as good condition as tho Shorthorns, and that some of the Ayrshlres brought good prices, but on the other hand some went for less than lt was expected the7 would bring. A nine months old Ayrshire'bull calf wont for $9, a prlci* at which it would make cheap veal, as ono breeders said: another bull $19, a Guernsey bull all tho way from ______pi_an__ N. .S.. the p_nly__-one_so!d. "realized $35: flve Jersey bulls;" wer������" entered; but only one was sold and he went for $15: "and three Holsteln bulls of good breeding brought $22. ?59 and $37 respectively. The sale was more, or leas of a surprise in that the prices 'realized all round were considerably better than those at Guelph. This was particularly the case of the Shorthorns At Guelph the average price was about $75 for bulla and $95 for fa- males, whilo at Ottawa tho prices were $135 and $141 respectively. At Guelph the highest price secured for any animal waa,$315. while at Ottawa the handsome sum of $305 was realized for a Shorthorn bull. The total ' proceeds ot the Ottawa Kale wi-ro $5S72. for 68 cattle and ISO!) for Hi swine, making a grand total of $62BS. Thirty Shorthorns brought ttllii. an average of $137.1(5. Thc lowest price was $55 and tho highest $503. One Hereford cow in calf went far S10O. Two wore withdrawn on account of tho bids not rnaching anywhere like the price ot tho animal.-;. Thirty-two Aryshires sold for $1289, or an averaga for each of $46.81. One Guernsey bull sold for $35. Three Holstenina brought $109, or an average of $36. One Jersey went for S15. The -"< swir.o brought an average of $1C.2*>. Taken as p. whole the animals were undoubtedly better than those put up at Guelph, but. there were some individual animals ot n������t loo i-.ood quality. As at Gucipli the buyers were extremely critical, and if th*3 sales had no other result they would be of untold valuo as showing that it is quality that counts every time. As soon as a fine animal was put up the bidding was brisk and the price was ruu up in short order; wh������*n on the other hand an animal of poor quality was brought in the bidn were few and far bptween, and no one seemed over anxious to Recur'.* If- Some of those who entered stock were ooubtles.-. ili-ssatisfied with (his btatfi of affair:-,, but .is a rule both buveis and sellers were well pleased anil it is -'-���������.'lfe to say that tlio nils V.-.T-; oa the whole ;i pronounced f-xie- csrs. The Shorthorns, as has bean said, brought good prices. Twenty bulls sold for $2,715, an average of $135 or SCO better than the average at Guelph. The highest price paid was $505 which was given by tha Prince Edward Island go-ernmeat for Triumph, a handsome 16 month* old roan, bred and contributed by Hon. John Dryden. Triumph "was sired by Revenue, and belongs Jo tho celebrated Crulek- shank's Lavender family. Mr. Dryden; it is said, would; havo disposed of him privately for $350 or $400. and haa therefore good reason to bo satisfied with the result, of-tko sale. The Prince Edward Island government purchased another, handsome well bred bull, Patrician, for which they paid $230. Patrician was sired by Coldstream Lad, 24808, and was. bred and contributed by Jeffrey Braa.. Whitby. A nico young bull or royal brooding and of the true boef type, was-bred by William Ormston. Jr.. o������ Columbus, Ont., was purchased by W. McGarry. of McGarry," Ont.. for $225. This bull was slrod -. by Hon. John Dryden's Reveller, another of whose get was disposed of for $150 'to Alex.

This was a bull of excellent vedlgroa* tracing back tothe famous Barmpton and Vice Consul and waa bred by Orlmston. o������ Columbus. G. H. Tabor, of Beechgrove, bought a nlco straight smooth bull for the South Onslow Farmers' club for $110. Two Shorthorn bulls, whose dams-'are noted milkers brought $105 each, one going to Thos. Cox, of Buckingham, and Uio other to Thos. Little, of Beechbnrg. Ten females were 60ld at the very- good average of $141. all of them entered by the same breeder. John Bright, of Myrtle, Ont. .Seven of them went to Mr. A. M. Todd, a manufacturer of Kalamaoo, Mich., who" "has recently gona extensively Into cattle raising. Thu other three were bought by Mr. E. B. Elderkln, ot Amherst, N. 8., who subsequently resold them to Mr. Todd, a������ that all the 10 females go across tho border. Among those bid in by Mr. Todd was qooea Alexandra, a handsome eight months old roan, for which hn paid $310. Att- other was Lady Roberta, a nlco 17 months old animal of the fashionable color, for which he gave $200. Prla- cess lga, also a red, 17 months old. cost him $100, and for' an aged cow of good quality he gave $155. The other three wore young heifera from. 12 .to IB months, which he ae-_ cured for $150, $135 and |7S reanec- tlcoly. Mr. Blderkln's purchases were all young animals. A nice-roan, 11 months old, was knocked down to him at $120. and for the'other two he paid $89 and.$88. . . . , The'Ayrshlres. were- rather a poor lot.- There were some good onea among them, but most .of them were of nothing more than ordinary quality. Twenty**soven bulls were sold at prices ranging from $130, to $9, the average being a trifle over $40. The one that headed the Hat was Glenora Daisy King, a handsome whlto and red 18 montha old of good pedigree, bred by W. W. OslllTie. Of Lachine Rapids, Que., and bought by Mr. W. C. Edwards.' M. P.. of Roek- land, Ont. A nice white and brown aged bull bred by Robt. Robertson, of Compton, Que., and second prize winner at tho Ottawa exhibition ast year, went to J. W.. Bogart. Mora- wood.

Three others sold at $60 apiece, one brought $18. five went for $40.each, and with the exception of two that - wet*e knockpd down at $9 and $10 respectively, the others brought' prices running from $35 to $20. The cows made a much better showing. Five of the six "catalogued were sold for a total of $435, an average of $87. or over twice as much as the bulls realized. Wm.

He concluded that any such preference was Impossible at' present but he eould not speak for tho futuro. An important thing was to cultivate the good will of the British people and leave it to thorn to .decide on.a.trade policy which in their views was best for their own interests. ���������" Adelaide, Cape Colony,-"Wednesday, Mhrch .13.���������Kritringer's commando, Is working northward and" has eluded three British columns.

Marcn 14.���������President McKinley, by virtue of tho legislation enacted in the closing hours of congress, is invested with moro autocratic power than any chief magistrate of the republic has possessed from Washington down. To him has been committed, from now until December next, tho decision of what our relations with CuDa shall be. Ho can. in his discretion, withdraw from it the military force that now governs it, or -he can add to that force. In Porto Rico his word will bo law.

The fact is thattho. Ffttdahofhl nr N N NNNN that* tho Firth had to furnish mounts for the warriors that posed In the parade as marshals, aide-v.and staffs. Tho well trained animals did not tako kindly to tho change, an dmany of them tried to toss their temporary ridoro. Tho Fifth was organized as the Second Dragoons.

And the ourioua thing about lt is that this "enormous addition to the power of the executive waa not--the result of.a purely partisan-vote.'* Democrats voted with Republicans to take this greatest of all strides in .tho direction of." centralization , of government What is .to become "of it? Time alone can tell. The Sampson-Morgan episode has not passed away with the passing of congress. ��������� Ia naval and military circles lt is one of the chief topics.of conversation.1 and will be for some time to. come. < But lt le not talk for ��������� newspaper; publication,.-.*-.

The permission of, the~-.war and navy, secretarlw -alone 'can* give the united service tongue and'. pen that freedom of' speech* which -all other free Americans catalogue among their "aacred rights." ;. There can be no qaeetion that Rear- Admiral Sampson's1"," indorsation' on .Morgan's application' was not intended for the public eye. The efforts he has mado to fix the responsibility for; its appearance ln print prove that Beyond all, question, the naval hero who was .in supreme.command when Spain's splendid ships were sunk" or driven ashore at Santiago has no object In view except "the good of the servce"when he advised Morgan's promotion, that la promotion from tho ranks of the enlisted men of the navy. Is he richt in his opinion? That ia the supreme question. In' the army, promotion from tho ranks has always obtained. The army register shows that many men now holding the .highest commands in the infantry and cavalry entered as privates.- Why should not tho same system be introduce iu the nevy. Shall the gates, of Annapolis academy be the only portals ot entrance to tho hlghtest rank on the man of war?,. It will be hard to convince the American people that this cast iron' rule should be persisted'in. -The charge is made that tho military and naval academies are aristocratic institutions. The accusation ia absurd. But if' it bo true, who is responsible? Not the ' army or navy. Tbe responsibility rests with the appointing power; that is. with the president, who has less than a dozen appointments during his term, and -with the members of the house of representatives. Every congressional district is entitled to ono cadet in each institution, and the congressman is the instrument of selection. The presidential appointments theoretically, reserved for the of army and navy officers duties scatter,them all over the coun-, try ������nd the world, so that thoir children are. In most cases, deprived of that-resldentlai^quallfication-j-requlr-- ed by law as an entrance condition to either academy.

The family ia very. well kown in New Haven. The healers who had been ministering to Mrs. Humphrey had never laid an eye on her,' the doctoring 'biting dono through tho malls and by circulars. The husband told Professor Bartlett that' some' time . ago ne. made*up his mind that his wife could not recover, but ho still had great faith in the mall healing pro- oesB and continued,it to .the last. . Three .weeks ago.when he was sure that her., illness ; would fprove fatal, he .concluded'to -build".'three coffins In-th'e house where he lived, -one .-for' the-dying woman," one for his mother- in-law, who,is, 80 years old. and one for himself." "' ' .":-'��������� * He had been a carpenter In his,day, but. of late-had been In. tho 'real estate business.' The 'first coffin made was for his, wife. Sho on her bed watched the progress of work on her coffin. Her husband measured her body for "a fit, and when the. coffln was finished, to make sure that' there waa no mistake in the measurements, he helped" his wlfo" get'into it and she lay down ln the casket Just ns she would "recline in death. , Mrs. Humphrey." .after' settins her body a bit tried to twist "and said to ' her husband that it was a little too snug.r "Her husband thought otherwise. ' but it .was decided ' to enlarge it. Then the .coffln was placed in tho bedroom near the bed.on whicli .Mrs. Humphrey spent her -last days. There was one regret, in the husband's mind which he explained today as follows: "You see. I placed common chest handles on the coffin. They only cost 75c. Nice nickle-plated handles would have been much better and I am sorry now that I did not buy some. Those chest handles did not look quite .right; but I will not mako the same mistake on my coffln. That will be all right, and so will mother's." ,,' Mrs. Humphrey's remains were taken to Fresh Pond, L.I., to be cremated. Her husband has"' already placed in position ir- his parlor an urn to contain his wife's ashes. Humphrey said this "afternoon that his aged mother-in-law was recently placed .in her coffin and it' was found to be just the.right size for her.
