At tho Whitewater mlno,\nwhich has boon idle sinco early last summer, preparations for resuming mining\nhavo been In progress for the post ten days\nand It Is expected that tho taking out of\nores will bu resumed some time next\nweek.\nGeorge A. Alexander Is commencing work\nat the Jackson mlno in Jackson basin,\nand a small force of men are now getting\nthings ready there.\nThe Jackson basin contains some of the\nmost promising properties of this section,\nand although but little has been done\nthoro sinco the American lend trust ceased\npurchasing load ores from the Kootenays,\ntho load bonus hns put new hope Into the\nowners and operators of claims thero, and\nmen aro going In dally to work on tho\ndifferent properties. The basin Is reached\nby a wagon road, which branches off from\nthe railway olose to Whitewater station.\nA few miles west of Jackson basin are\ntho McGulgan and Surprise basins, In\nwhich thero aro already a number of properties In shape lo ship again. The largest of these Is tho Rambler-Cnrlboo,\nwhich hns Increased Its working force to\nninety men, with moro being ndded right\nalong. Although not working to its full\ncapacity yet tho property Is now producing about a carload of concentrates per\nday, and this will be largely increased\nnfter tho bonus lias been definitely granted.\nThis property Is about six miles from Mc-\nGuJgan station, with which it Is connected\nby an excellent wagon road.\nThe initio Is in splendid shape for working, nn extensive course of development\nwork having beon carried on during the\npnst year. Owing to tho exceptionally\nheavy snowfall in tho Kootenays last winter some fears wero felt last month regarding tho snfety of the mine buildings\nattached to tho Rambler-Cnrlboo, a slide\ntho previous spring having shaken up the\nbunkhouses considerably. This yenr, however, pnssed without nny damage being\ndone, and although there Is still plenty of\nsnow in the high peaks surrounding the\nbasin in which the mme Is Bltuated there\nIs no danger for the present season nt\nleast. The Antolnc mine, which Is situated\nin the Surprise bnsln, about two miles\ntip a trnll from tho Rambler-Cariboo, is\nshipping a small quantity of ore regularly,\nand will Increase its working force nt nn\nearly date. The Red Fox nnd Surprise,\nwhich adjoin the Antolne, havo not resumed work yet, but will probably do so within the next fortnight, if sliver keeps on\nrising. Tho Surprise basin contains some\nof tho highest mines In tho country, the\nlowest workings of all of them being well\nnbovo the 6,000 foot level. All the properties carry very high grado ores, tho principal values being in silver. It is believed\nby many mining men familiar with the\nSlocan ores that with silver nt n fair price\nthis basin would contntn some of the best\nsliver properties in tho Kootenays. A belt\nof high grade silver ore strikes ncross\ncountry nt this point, and from the regularity of tho values nnd other Indications of permanency encountered on the\nleads that hnve been traced there nre undoubtedly some large bodies of this rich\nore. The Silver Glance mine, which Is situated across tho gulch from McGuigan,\ncarries the some class of ore, and there\nare several prospectors now working on\nproperties to tho northward of the Sllvor\nGlance ngain, who are encountering most\nsatisfactory showings. Assays of ore\nrunning two hundred ounces in silver and\nupwards have been quite common on tho\nproperties in this belt.\nAt tho Payne it Is expected that nnothor\nten days will see the property a larger\nproducer than it has ever been. The zinc\nplant which hns been In course of erection\nthere for somo tlmo pnst will be completed nbout the end of next week, nnd Im-\nmedintely this Is done, shipping will be\nresumed. About eighty men are nt work\non the property in different capacities at\npresent, and this force will probably be\nIncreased later. A Inrge quantity of oro\nfor treatment In tho zinc plant Is now\nstored rendy to bo run through, nnd no\ntime will be lost in getting the plant to\nIts full capacity. The mlno is looking In\nexcellent shape, the high grade ore lend\nstruck at depth In the spring, showing\nup steadily.\nAt tho Ruth mlno, nbovo Sandon, tho\nworking force although small yet, Is being increased Rtoadlly, and regular shipments aro already being made. This property Is a well developed one, nnd with\nthe bonus, tho owners should bo In shape\nto make It agnln a largo producer.\nC. F.

Redmond, Irish nationalist, asked If tho flag\non the Victoria tower, and those on the\npubllo grounds would be half-masted out\nof respect to the late pope. The treasurer\nof the household, replying for the government, said there wns no precedent for such\naction, and the matter was now under consideration.\nMr. Redmond Invited a statement on tho\nsubject from the premier. Mr. Balfour\nsaid It was not a question of respect to\nthe dead pope but a universal precedent\nmust bo regarded, and general rules must\nfee observed Irrespective of sentiment.\nMr. Redmond then called the attention\nof the government to the fact that flags\nwere lowered all ovor the United States by\norder of tho president which, said he,\nwould perhaps Influence British action.\nWhen the houso was In committee on the\nforeign office vote, sir Charles Dllke attacked the foreign policy of the government which he said was strangely Inconsistent. He compared the recent visit of\nking Edward to France and president\nLoubet's visit to England with the government's attitude towards Germany and\naccused the government of clinging to\nGermany In the Venezuelan matter and\nof \"allowing themselves to be hoodwinked,\nbut,\" sir Chnrles added, \"when there was\na popular cry against the government It\nhatched up the Canndinn tariff nnd the\nministers hnd used language of absolute\nferocity   ngnlnst   Germany.\"\n\u2022Tho foreign under secretary vindicated\nthe policy of tho government In the matter,\nsaying that Britain wns on friendly terms\nwith nil the powers and that Great Britain\nwas not getting tho worst of it in Manchuria where Great Britain recognized the\nopen door policy. Referring to tho Canadian tariff dispute lord Camborne said\nthey must put their own colonies first.\nTho criticism of the government's foreign policy wns continued at the evening\nsession. Jos, Walton, liberal, who strongly favored an extension of British trade\nby means of colonial departments, accused tho government of a succession of\nhumiliating surrenders in China. He said\ntho time had nrrived for fnclng the situation ln Manchuria nnd New Chwang. Tho\nunder foreign secretary lord Cranborne.\nsaid thnt tho British trado In China wns\nstill Increasing at a satisfactory rate and\nhe was confident of securing a full share\nof valuable..concessions. The government,\nho said, was fully aware of tho position\nof Manchuria. The great difficulty up to\nthe present time In negotiating with Russia wns thnt Great Britain had never yef\nbeen able to ascertain what the Russian\ngovernment wanted and the fact remained\nthat Manchuria was still occupied. Russia's failure to fulfill her undertaking, he\nsaid, was satisfactory neither to Great\nBritain, Japan or the United States. Lord\nCranborne snld the Russian government\nknew perfectly well that England would\nbo delighted to come to an agreement,\nbut thero were difficulties. He doubled\nwhether the Russian government was so\nhomogeneous a despotism ns might be\nsupposed from her past history. There\nseemed to bo at least two parties In the\ngovernment with whom he wns obliged\nto denl, nnd England hnd never received\nnn lntlmntion of what Russia expected.\n\"Our ally, Jnpnn,\" he said. \"Is becoming\nunensy nt tho prolongation of the occupation of Manchuria nnd we are equally noxious for a settlement. There are certain\nelements out of which nn agreement ought\nto bo possible and If Russia Is prepared\nto give due weight to our treaty rights\nand commercial Interests, sho will not\nfind us irreconcilablo to compromise.\"\nBesides alluding to tho czar as a despot,\nlord Cranborne mnde an indiscreet reference to France and John Redmond tried\nto make It appear that the British government hnd suffered a rebuff in Its representations to Franco in behalf of tho expelled monks.

PATRICK'S HALL.\nTHE KING AND QUEEN RECEIVE TIIE\nIRISH NOBILITY,\nLondon, July 23,-The educational campaign on the tariff program which colonial\nsecretary Chamberlain has vigorously\nlaunched by means of leaflets and circulars, came In for a serious criticism In the\nhouse of lords this evening. Earl Spencer, the liberal leader, complained that\nMr. Chamberlain was practically violating\ntho government agreement, namely that\ntho fiscal discussion should be postponed\nuntil October. He said the distribution\nof such literature looked on Its face as\nthough tho government had taken up Mr.\nChamberlain's views.\nEarl Spencer added that If Mr. Chamberlain remained In the cabinet It would be\nnlmost Impossible to disassociate his views\nfrom tho policy of the government as a\nwhole.\nTho   duke   of  Devonshire,   conservative\nlender in  the house, retorted  that whllo\nhe gathered from the remarks that the\npremier ought to tell Mr. Chamberlain to\nresign,  he  feared  this was rather illogical procedure  since,  though   the  govern*\nnient hnd by no means held the views of\nMr.   Chamberlain,   the   government's   Investigation,   so   far ns  ft   bad   proceeded,\nhad convinced the  premier and  bis colleagues thnt Mr. Chnmberlnln's Impench-\nment of the fiscal policy was welt founded\nand that It ought to be followed up.\nAddressing   the   Primrose   league  at  a\ndinner tonight at the hotel Cecil, premier\nBalfour   warmly defended  colonial  secretary   Chamberlain   against   unreasonable\nattacks because ho had given, as he hnd\ntho right to do, expression to the views\nof the colonies on the fiscal question.   No\nman, Mr. Balfour said, had a better opportunity than Mr. Chamberlain, of knowing their views.   Mr.  Balfour  reiterated^\nhis previous statement that the  govern-*\nment  approached  tho  question   with  an\nopen mind and snld thnt It wns folly to\nexpect the ministry on a moment's notice\nto produce a formulated scheme on such n\ngreat    subject.     The    government    bad\npledged Itself not to nsk tho country to\nninke a change until after the general elections and premature and hasty parliamentary debate could only produce divisions\namong   friends without   benefitting   the\ncountry.\nNEW SUBJECTS OF THB KING.\nSeventy-Seven      Aliens     Naturalized     at\nGreenwood.-Other Court Proceedings.\n[Special to Tho Dally News.]\nGreenwood, July 23,\u2014Seventy-seven applications for naturalization were made\nto his honor Judge Loamy nt the last sitting of tho county court.

Electors are to bo asked\nto vote against the liberal party, not because of its sins of omission or commission, but because the premier of tho dominion is a Roman Catholic. It Is asserted with malicious mendacity that without tho Influence of the priests ln Quebec\nLaurier would never have been tho premier of this dominion, and that the freedom\nof tho people of Canada is being constantly restricted by the church. No Canadian,\nbe ho liberal or conservative, can bo Ignorant of tho fact tbat the liberal party,\nunder the leadership of Laurier, won out\nin the campaign of 1898 ln faco of the open\navowed hostility of the Quebec bishops.\nLaurier and liberalism wero denounced\nfrom end to end of Quebec. Laurier, a\nFrench-Canadian Ronlan Catholic, took\nhis political Ilfo in his hands to fight for\ntho rights of tho English-Canadian Protestants of Manitoba. He made tho grandest fight for religious tolerance ever waged\nIn Cannda and gained for himself tho\nrespect of thousands who could not agree\nwith him In his political views.\nIn charging that the liberal party has\nbeen subservient to tho Quebec hierarchy\nthe conservative organ utters a deliberate\nfalsehood knowingly and with the sole\nobject of arousing the passions and prejudices of men who may not be thoroughly\nInformed upon the persistent and consistent attitude of liberals towards clerical\ninfluence In politics, dominion or provincial.\nBritish Columbia has heretofore been\nfreo from anything in the nature of religious strife. A man's creed has never been\ncalled In question. No greater evil could\nbo inflicted upon this province than a\nwar of creeds. Tho conservative cause\nmust Indeed bo In a bad way when It is\nconsidered advisable to drag religion Into\ntlio controversy. We cannot believe that\nthis attempt to stir up religious strife\nmeets with tho approval of thoughtful\nmen In Iho conservative party ot this\nprovince. Whilst there may bo grave differences of opinion among British Colam-\nblans as to the efficacy of this or that\npolicy, surely we aro all, conservatives and\nliberals alike, of ono mind today that\nmen's religious beliefs should be respected\neven in the heat of tho most bitter political campaign.\nIf there were tho slightest ground for\nattack upon tho liberal party because of\nits attltudo towards the church, there\nmight be some excuse for tho appeals now\nbeing made to the electorate, but no vestige of proof can bo adduced to show that\ncreeds have hod any weight In the administration of affairs by liberal governments,\neither dominion or provincial. Tho business of tho country has been conducted\nwith an entire absence of clerical interference, This Is as It should be and as\nIt must be if freedom from religious strife\nIs to prevail In Canada.\nTO AVERT DEFEAT.\nTho Rossland Miner has now come to\nthe conclusion that unless the conservative candidates In southern British Columbia enn secure tho votes of tho men who\nclaim to bo legally entitled to licenses to\nprospect for coal and oil on cortatn lands\nIn east Kootenay thoy have precious little\nchance of being elected.\nIn order to secure these votes tho Miner\nsuggests that John Houston, president of\ntho provlnclnl conservative association\nshould Join with tho editor of tho Miner\nIn somo sort of a crusado to compel the\nparty chiefs to give tho prospectors their\nrights.\nThe Miner puts the ense bluntly,   It says:\n\"There aro corporation Influences within the party that are trying to tho best of\ntheir abilities to keep the prospectors and\ntho common people out of their just and\nuiKiucstlonnblo tights and dispone of thoso\nlands for tho solo benefit of tho C. P. R,\nor tho Crow'B Nest conl monopoly.\"\nPremier MeBrldo's position Is that ho\nwill do nothing until after tho olcctlons.\nHo realizes tho Importance ot securing\nthese votes for his candidates but ho is\nafraid to tnko action. Ho wants to keep\ntho prospectors guessing and at tho same\ntimo !'\u2022\u25a0,;.In the corporation Influences of\nwhich tho Miner complains.\nJfi Atoll\/ tio-nj^    M*nS4*U  4*4AAo>V4-  C 0>   of tfjU\nThere Is ono right and proper course for\nthe McBrido government to adopt In this\ncase, and that is to at once set about\nsecuring to every man his legal rights in\nthe premises. If there be any doubt as\nto the legality of tlio claims of any of the\nalleged bona fide prospectors a test caso\nshould be taken to tho supreme court.\nMcBride's do-notiting policy is unfair to\nall concerned and it Is working grave injury to southern British Columbia.\nEDITORIAL NOTES,\nTho fact that there wero twenty-four\nprohibition candidates in the field In tho\nrecent Manitoba elections, and that of this\nnumber fifteen were liberals and tho balance independents accounts for the active\npartisanship of the licensed victuallers'\nassociation. The liquor men to a man\nvoted and worked for the torles, tho understanding being that In the event of the\ngovernment being sustained no more should\nbe heard of the Liquor License act, introduced by the conservatives in pursuance\nof pledges made but never put Into force.\nTlio saloon keepers no doubt feel that\neverything will bo lovely now.\nNanaimo politicians are discussing the\npossibility ot an alliance between tho McBrido government nnd tlio socialist party.\nIt Is alleged by the Nannlino Herald that\ntho socialist lender, J. II. Hawthonith-\nwaite, has somo understanding with McBride. Nannlino conservatives will be asked to support the former's candidature instead of putting up a straight party candidate. In Yale it is openly asserted that\na socialist candidate has been promised\ntho support of the conservative party,\nthough some of the leading men in tiie\nparty, liko Semlin, Langley and judgo\nCornwall don't take kindly to the Idea.\nNo alliance that McBride might enter into\nwould occasion much surprise nfter his\nacceptance of Gifford, a pronounced liberal,\nas a government candidate in New Westminster.\nPeter M. Arthur, iho grand engineer of\ntho Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, who dropped dead while speaking at\nthe banquet closing tho annual convention\nof tho brotherhood at Winnipeg on July\n16th, was ono of the most remarkable\nmen of his time, Whllo running his engine dally, he took an active part In tho\norganization of the engineers Into the brotherhood, and was soon recognized by his\nfellow members ns a natural leader, and\nmado their presiding officer. He set his\nface against strikes and avoided entangling alliances with other organizations, believing that the brotherhood would best\nachieve success and prosperity by minding its own business. In dealing with the\nrailroad officials In all parts of tho country, his candor, moderation of speech, but\nforceful representation of tho wishes and\nclaims of tlio engineers, commanded universal respect. All parties in contention\ncamo to look upon him as an upright\nfriend, and the engineers found their condition in life constantly improving under\nthe concessions he peacefully gained for\nthem. They re-elected him with acclamation at every term ending, and by the\ntime when ho died had come to almost\nidolize him. When he rose to speak at\nthe banquet In Winnipeg, ho was greeted\nwith deafening applause, which must have\ntouched him deeply. He began as follows: \"Out of the fulness of the heart\ntho mouth speaketh.\" Then after a few\nsentences of grateful acknowledgment\nof tho happiness ho felt in meeting his\nfellow members of the brotherhood, and\nimpressing them with the great value of\ntheir organization, in the very act of commencing what ho said were his parting\nwords to many of them, ho fell backward,\nnnd In forty minutes hnd passed to his\nrest.\nEXPERIMENTAL   FARMS.\nMinister of Agriculture's Reply to Resolution  of Associated  Boards.\nThjo following correspondence passing)\nbetween the secretary of tho associated\nboards of trade of eastern British Columbia nnd hon. Sydney Fisher, minister\nof agriculture, Is self-explanatory: '\nHon. Sydney Fisher, Minister of Agriculture,   Ottawa:\u2014\nSir,\u2014At a meeting of the associated\nboards of trado of eastern British Columbia, held at Fernle, March 18th and 19th,\nthe following resolution  was adopted:\nResolved, that the (dominion government be requested to establish an experimental orchard at some favorable location\nIn tho Rocky mountain region.\nWo beg to sny in support of this resolution that wo do not consider the work\ncarried on at the experimental farms at\npresent established, even thnt at Agasslz,\nin our own province, as being of any\nspecial value as guides to thoso desiring\nto cultivate orchards nt high altitudes.\nThat portion of the province to which wo\nrefer, lying between the lovels of, say,\n1,000 to 3,000 foot above tho sea, Is very\nlargo much larger, for Instance, than the\nthree eastern provinces of tho dominion,\nMuch of It Is precluded by natural conditions from over becoming useful ns agricultural or pastoral land, but yet Is, wo\nbelieve, well adapted to fruit growing. Tt\nwould not bo necessary flint such orchards\naa wo ask for should be on nn expensive\nscale, We think that a few experiments\nof small orchards planted in different\npositions, some on gravel benches, some\non rocky hillsides, and conducted with\nskill and patience, would point the way to\ntho establishment of a vast Industry.\nI havo tbo honor to bo, etc.,\nH. W.  C.   JACKSON,\nSecretary Associated Boards of Trade of\nEastern  British Columbia.\nOttawa,   June 17th,  1003.\nDear Sir,\u2014In my absence In Japan your\nletter of March 24th, with statement of a\nresolution adopted by the associated\nboards of trade of eastern British Columbia, la regard to the establishment of nn\nexperimental orchard In tho Rocky mountain region, camo to tho department and\nwas duly acknowledged by the deputy\nminister.\nI may say that requests somewhat similar to this are frequently received from\ndifferent parts of tho dominion, nsking for\nan extension of the experimental farm\nsystem and the establishment of extra\nexperimental farms.\nIn the first place, the Experimental Farm\nact distinctly limits tbo number of farms\nto be established, and such n farm could\nnot he established without an amendment\nto tiie act. In consequenco of tho very\ngrent number of such requests an amendment to the act to cover such an object\nwould Involve an immediate and very\ngreat expenditure of public money.\nTho matter has beon discussed by myself\nand my officers of the department, and\nwith mnny members of parliament, for\na number of years, nnd we have thought\nthat tho mono\/ could bo expended In\nother ways which aro more advantageous\nand profitable to agriculture than by\nestablishing additional experimental stations or farms, I do not think at the present tlmo this decision of the government\nIs likely  to bo altered.\nYours very  truly.\nSYDNEY FISHER,\nH.

They wore served\nstewed, deviled, steamed, fried, In sandwiches, in soup and in salad. Two hundred negro \"mammies\" witii bandanas\nand aprons, wero employed to do the serving. They were strung along tho shore\nwith tripods for tlio preparation of soup\nand other forms of cooked crab.

Not merely is ho committing\ntho two colonics to It, just out of n ruinous war as thoy arc, but ho Is also committing the credit of Britain, in tho shape\nof a guarantee to tlio necessary loan.\nTho nature of tho colonial secretary's proposal for a Joint fund In tho two colonics for certain specific purposes has escaped much of the attention it would otherwise have received because of other matters cropping up at the samo time; but,\nremarks tho Toronto News, It is especially\nworth considering for Canada at tho present moment.\nIt Is not wholly a financial proposal,\nfor the element of gift enters into it. And\nIt is certainly not a proposal which would\nbo possible In any other country In the\nworld. For this Joint fund, whose sole\nasset is to bo the colonial railways, Is to\nhave an obligation imposed on It of thirty*\nfive millions sterling. Twenty-two nnd n\nhalf millions consists of obligations Incurred for tho colonies by tho Imperial\nexchequer In tlio process of making peace,\nand ngalnst theso not an asset is provided.\nBut the British government permits the\nJoint commissioners of tho two colonies\nto acquire for iCll!,BOO,000 a railway system\nwhoso annual earning powers are placed\nat \u00a32,500,000. How this estimate of tho\nvuluo of tho railway Is arrived at wo arc\nnot Informed. Most of tho line, it will he\nremembered, was \"spoils of war,\" and presumably the British government can afford\nto let It go cheap. In fact, the policy of\ntaking public works as spoils to ft U them\nat a profit to the colony needing them\nwould not bo tolerated in Britain. The\ncustomers of these extremely remunerative lines have been accustomed to being\nbled, and not only will thoro bo no attempt at taxation In tho shape of Incrcas\ned charges, but tho estimated revenue of\ntwo and a half millions Is calculated on u\nsomewhat reduced tariff. Without committing himself to tho rnto of interest or\nof sinking fund appropriation, Mr. Chamberlain pointed out that a four per ceul\nrato on tho total Indebtedness of vl.e :ttr.t\nfund would call for \u00a31,400,000, leaving\n\u00a31,100,000 to ho devoted lo railway extensions and maintenance.\nThe most interesting part of tho transaction is tho unqualified way In which Mr.\nChamberlain promises the ownership and\ntho working of this railway system by\ntho two colonics In co-operation. Ho not\nmerely adopts it as tho most feaslblo plan,\nbut of tho stato railway corporation thus\nconstituted he mnkes tho solo guarantee\ntowards the British taxpayer for a debt\nof \u00a335,000,000. He docs this moreover\nwithout tho assurance which would be\nafforded by possessing a long tried nnd\nexperienced civil service1. Tlito present\nrailway management in tho Transvaal and\ntho Orange River colonies is reported to\nbo admirably efficient, but It has not long\nsuperseded military control, and certainly\nlias not hnd a free hand or a sufficient\ntimo to prove its ability. The materials.\nIt Is true, nro known to bo forthcoming.\nA great part of the staffs both of the\nOrange Free State's railway department\nand the Netherlands company, wero of\nBritish nationality, and tho administration\nof both systems, except in tho highest\nquarters, was good. But tho Transvaal\nand Orange River civil service, wo ropeat,\nremains to bo proven.\nTho South African ense fs one, nlso, to\nwhich many of the stock arguments In\nfavor of government control do not apply.\nThe railway Involved Is not one roqulrng\ngovernment aid or government financing.\nIt Is, on the contrary, n. system which\nprivate capitalists would gladly pay a substantial sum for tlio privilege of operating. Again, tho governments thnt will\noperate it have at present nothing invested\nIn It, and nothing to collect from it. They\nnre about to purchase It from a friendly\ngovernment, nt nn extremely advantageous\nprice, and that is all. It is not a pioneer\nenterprise for tho employment of the colonies, though if Mr. Chamberlain's estimates bo correct it may bo mado the\nfoundation of much pioneer extension to\nbo pnld for out of Its profits. Finally, it\nis not a political road. It Is expressly\ndesignated that confederation, whether\nof tho two colonies concerned or of British South Africa generally, is In no way\nnlmed nt by the new measure; and that\nIndeed for tho Imperial government to\npursue such nn nim under tho guise of a\nrailway fund, whllo the conquered provinces remain crown colonics, would be a\ndistinct breach of fnlth,\nTaken as a whole, then, Mr. Chamber-\nIain's South African railway scheme may\nbo regarded ns a very courageous and\nImportant advance in the direction of state\nownership, stato control nnd state development of railways. For that purpose he\nhas created a special limited union of two\ncolonies which beforo wore absolutely distinct, and hns organized a new public\nbody and lent to It the imperial guarantee\nfor an enormous bond issue. In this, as In\nother matters, Mr. Chamberlain shows\nhimself a stntesman unusually abreast\nwith   modern  thought.\nHOW GOLD NUGGETS GROW.\nObservation   Shows    They    Inerense   in!\nWeight With Lapse of Years.\nGold in its natural state, like other products of tho earth, Is an article of development. What Its original elements are\nis still'a matter of somo speculation, but\ntho fact has been demonstrated that a\nnugget of tho precious mctnl left in Its\noriginal environments will gradually,\nthough slowly, attract to itself minute\nparticles of gold dust, and after tho lapse'\nof years possess an added value. Gold\nis known to have grown on mine timbers\nwhich havo long been immersed in mine\nwater. In the California stato mining\nbureau museums thero is a specimen of\na piece of Jointed cap and post taken from\ntlio Comstock, whero it had been under\nwater for years, in which gold was formed\nin tho Joints and pores of tho wood.\nGold is constantly being formed In\nrocks nnd veins and placers. Just what\nit is that tho baby gold formation feeds\non to effect Its growth is not known; If It\nwere a new and wonderfully locative industry might be born and all other kinds\nof farming save the growing of gold\nmight bo  temporarily   abandoned.

As in the case\nof the animal or vegetable, existing gold\nhns existed In somo other stato before\nassuming Its present form. Waters which\npercolate through the earth's crust ore\nsaid to contain substances from which\ngold is formed. Thus gold, liko the ani-\nmnl nnd vegetable, must havo water in\norder to thrive. Tho gold in the water is\ndeposited when it meets tho proper precipitant. Tho precipitant may be an oartb\ncurrent  of  electricity  in   tho   rocks.\nIt has boen claimed that the nuggets\nfound In placers aro tho formations from\ntho waters that percolate through the\ngravels and nre not from decomposed\nquartz, as generally supposed. Those who\nso contend cite the fact that in the centre\nof the nugget can often be found a small\ngrain of iron snnd. This was the nucleus\naround which the earth current of electricity created or deposited in electroplating. During long ages this influence was\nat work causing the gold lo form around\ntho littlo grain or Iron ore and then grow\nto become a bright, shining nugget of\ngold much larger and purer than any ever\nfound In the veins of ore.\nCHAMBERLAIN'S COLIC, CHOLERA\nAND DIARRHOEA REMEDY.\nTiie uniform success of this remedy has\nmnde It the most popular preparation In\nuse for bowel complaints.

The mine\noperators found great difficulty in keeping the water in their shaft under control. Some trouble followed and thirty\nnrmed guards were placed on duty at the\nColumbia shaft and mill. Troops were\nasked for but declined. Manager Cnnt-\nwell, of the Commercial company, proposed arbitration and the state board was\ncalled In. Its members made a thorough\nInvestigation nnd held at Farmington several sessions during which they heard evidence of the interested parties. It wns\ndeclardcd by the men that tho lowest\nwages paid were $1.30 per day and tho\nhighest $2.25, the average being $1.55. Tho\nunion men declnred that they hud no intention or desire to Injure tho properties\nof the companies Involved and under the\ndirection of the board, firemen and engineers wero sent to tho power plants involved in tho strike, with orders lo keep\ntho pumps going during the settlement of\ntho strike.\nThe different managements declared that\nthe recent eight hour law did not effect\nconcentrating plants\u2014which did not refine\nlend\u2014but only smelting and refining, holding thnt reduction was purely a physical\nand not a chemical change. Since the\neight hour law covering underground work\nhad gone Into effect two years ago, they\nhad compiled with its terms, also,- declared tho operators. After tbo evidence\nhad been considered tho workmen mnde\nseveral concessions nnd nn agreement was\nreached. By its terms the eight hour men\nsurrendered a 10-cent raise per day which\nthey wero given May 1st, The twelve-\nnour men woro placed on nn eight-hour\nbasis. Tho ton-hour men, including yardmen and unskilled labor, received no reduction of hours. Tho union men gave a\nguarantee that In the event of a future\nstrike lliey would not molest the firemen\nor pumpmen. The contract between tho\nemployes of tho Commercial Lead company and Its employes, signed by their respective attorneys, established the following daily scale: Roll men, $1.50; Jig men,\n$1.75; table men, $1.05; lend wheelers (barrow men), $1.50; oilers, $1.50; shift bosses,\n$2,15; engineers, $2.15.

As a substitute\nfrom brass It meets many of tho requirements to which only tho alloy had formerly been employed. For casting purposes perfect spelter Is replacing the\nvarious soft metals or alloys. It also possesses qualities which lead alloyfl do not,\nbeing quite stiff and capable of taking on\na high polish. Even this avenue of consumption of spelter may be regarded as\nin its Infancy, for there are yet difficulties which have not beon overcome. How-\nover, some of the most expert workers in\nmotals nro now engaged in the solution\nof these problems and the indications at\nthis time warrant the declaration that in\nthe next few years aa the manufacturers\nof spelter continue the Improvement of\ntheir product, many hitherto apparent Impossibilities will have been overcome and\nthe use of zinc in newer avenues of consumption made easy.\nThe use of zinc in roofing is Increasing\nJiroughtout the United States, where until very recent years, there has been littlo\nsheet zlno used for this purpose as compared to its extensive use in Europe.

White, of the Slocan Star, was\nin tlio city last evening on his way nortli\nto tho mine, leaving on the Kaslo early\nthis morning. Mr. White Is a great believer In tho Immediate future of this section of the Kootenays. \"You havo seen\ntho worst of It,\" he said last night. \"I\nfirmly believe that there Is a great time in\nstoro for you people here. Next spring\nwill seo this section busier than it has ever\nyet been. This city nnd possibly Kaslo;\nwill benefit by the new order of things.\nYou have tho greatest and richest mineral\ncountry on earth at your back and the development of It hns only just begun. I\nknow plenty of mining men who have\nbeen through hero and have wandered off\nto other mining fields but they are all glad\nto got back here, they can't find a better\nspot to do business In and now that n\nrevival has started here again, you will\nfind them Hocking In here at a great rate.\"\n\"What do I think about the future of\nsilver? Why, I am of the opinion that\nyou will see the metal at 65 cents by the\n1st of January, if not before. People who\nnro In closest touch with the authorities\non tho subject on the other side of the lino\nnil talk that way and have been doing so\nfor months past and they now claim that\nwhat they said when the year first opened\neioa since taken place nnd they are now\nmore settled In their views than ever.\nWith silver at (5 cents nnd a lead bounty\n10 belp out why should not this section\njump right up nnd be really better than\nwe have ever known It. Why of course it\nwill.\n\"About tho lead bonus? Well, I hardly\nknow yet how It will work out. It will be\nall right If the producer gets it and I\nthink ho will. If trouble should arise\nwith the smelters now In existence, the\njsllver-lead men njjo now quite strong\nenough to get together and put in a smelter of their own and they'll do it too, If\nit becomes necessary.\n\"Wo have had to stop shipments at the\nStar for a whllo owing to tho spring\nfloods, but they are al! over now and we\nwill resume again. \"We ship about 200 tons\na month when things ore running all\nright. Yes, wo paid a dividend of $25,000\na short tlmo ago and that makes pretty\nnearly an even half million that the Star\nhas paid Its owners from the start.\n\"No, wo did not say much about the\ndividend; It was not considered advisable\nat tho time for obvious reasons,\" said\nMr. White, with n smile. \"It might have\nbeen misunderstood In the east,\" he added.\n\"You have a scarcity of men through\nhere they tell me. Well, that will regulate Itself ln good time. Any miner who\nhas ever worked In here will be only too\nglad to get back again and as the news of\ntho revival here gets known on the outside, the miners will come In here again\nvery promptly. I see nothing but increasing prosperity In store for you people.\nNelson certainly will Jump ahead In the\nnew order of things and I think all this\nsection  will   advance   rapidly.\"\nHIGH SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS.\nList of Nelson Scholars Who Passed\u2014Re-\nsutts In Other Places.\nTho results of the recent high school\nexaminations has been announced at tho\njcosat. i      '..\nIn Nelson thero were eleven candidates\nand of theso nine were successful.\nThoso who pnssed here and their respective marks attained are as follows:\nGrace Allislon    776\nWilliam Brown  C38\nBetty JohnBtone  631\nKenneth Weir  619\nDaniel McNnlly   617\nLloyd   Jackson    60S\nChristiana MaoKay  593\nWilfrid  Ebbs    C91\nIvan MaoKay  5G5\nThere woro nine candidates In Rossland\nand of theso live passed as follows:\nAlice Cooper 685\nChafl.
