Commenting on lhe\nmeeting the Financial News of London\nsays :\nIt appears lhat the price of lead declined by more lhan 60 per cent between January and December of last\nyear, and that this reduction, taken in\nconjunction wilh the technical dfficul-\nties of lead mining, excludes the possibility of any proht being earned. The\ndiminution in price is mainly attributed\nlo the incapacity of the London market\non behalf of Europe to resist the large\nquantity of imports. Ten years ago\nAustralia, Mexico and Spain delivered\n30 per ceul of the world's consumption,\nbut in 1901 they supplied more than 50\nper cent of the European demand,\nwhile the United States as a buyer will\nnot fail lo render the pressure of overproduction of the exporting countries\nof a permanent character 10 all other\nnations.\nThe production of lead in Germany\nin 1901 was considerably less than in\n1885, and lhe imports, both of crude\nlead and lead ore have very extensively\nincreased since 1885, whereas the exports have largely diminished. The\ndisproportion which has arisen since\n1901, between thc cost of price ore and\nthe prices of the overloaded London\nmarket has already .resulted in the\nclosing of several German mines and\nthe bankruptcy of others. In these\ncircumstances the German firms have\nappointed a committee to advocate the\nimposition of a duty on lead imports\ninto Germany and to propose the\nestablishment of more intimate relations\nbetween the various works\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdperhaps\nof a combine.\nWhat Makes Gold Valuable\nThe quality which makes gold the\nmost valuable of the metals is its ductility. The cunning hammer of the\n9inith can teach it most anything.\nThe more stubborn metals crumble\nafter they have been reduced to a certain point of fineness; but gold can be\nhammered into a sheet so infinitely fine\nthat 282,000 of them, piled one upon\nthe other, would be but an inch thick.\nAnd a flake of gold, tiny as a pi ahead,\ncan be drawn out in a finer thread than\never man spun, in a spider\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdto a spider\nthread\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdto a length of 500 feet. They\nbroaden every day. In one of its many\nforms, our Yellow Slave helps us to\nalmost every art and walk in life. It\nis as necessary as its red fellow servant,\nFire\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand a better in one way, since,\nunlike fire, it can never become \"a bad\nmaster,\"' except thru our own fault.\nWear and Tear of Gold\nIf one could have just the annual\nloss by abrasion on the billions of\ndollars' worlh of gold now in the world's\nhands, there would be no need to envy\nCroesus. Every year an impalpable\ngolden dust, so infinitely fine as to seem\nmore like vapor than a dust\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdis worn\nfrom all gold in use, and passes forever\nfrom our wealth and our knowledge\nand in our handling, enuf gold lo make\none person incalculably rich disappears\neverv vear, lost as absoluieUas if it had\nnever existed. So even if ihe world's\nneed of gold were not multiplying very\nrapidly, there would be required a large\nannual production merely to meet this\nshrinkage by wear and tear.\nE. R. ATHERTON\nCopper Stain\nThere's an old saying in the territories of Arizona and New Mexico that\na copper cent will stain an acre. This,\nof course, is somewhat allegorical, but\nit is a fact that in sandstone and limestones a vein of copper ore only a few\ninches in width will frequently stain the\nenclosing rock for a distance of many\nfeet on each side of a vein. These\nstains are so dense that in many cases\nthey present almost exactly the same\nappearance as the pure carbonates and\nsilicates of copper and only an assay\ncan determine whether the ore is payor not.\nPoor Andy\nAndy Carnegie was subject to a severe\nstrain by being on the water six days.\nThink of six days with no chance to give\na library to some suffering camp.\nVery Likely\nA lecturer recently remarked that the\nwickedness of the world is due partly\nto the papers and the rest to tobacco.\nProbably when Cain killed Abel the\nmurderer had been reading the Christian Guardian and smoking a pipe that\ndid not draw well.\nThe\nSlaughter\nSale\nStill\nContinues\nE.

Q., Becember 27\nTHE MUNICIPAL ACT\nBe\nImportant Changes That Should\nNoted by Voters\nDuring the lasl silting of the legislature several important changes were\nmade in the Municipal Clauses and\nMunicipal Elections Act. As the elections are approaching and as the change\naffects the registration of certain quali-\ntied voters, a summary of the same is\ngiven below :\nNominations for the offices of mayor\nand alderman take place on the second\nMonday in January, between the hours\nof 1 2 and 2, and polling on the Thursday foi lowing.\nA radical departure is more in connection wilh naming the hours in which\npolling shall take place. L'nder the\nold act, the polling booths were open\nfrom 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Under the\namended at t, this has been changed\nto i) H.m and 7:30 p.m. The keeping\nol the polls open to the evening hour\nnamed is done wilh the object of making it convenient for workingmen to\nvote.\nAnother important new provision is\nthat all electors must he British sub-\njects. Under the old act all who paid\nlicenses, foreigners included, could\nvote, as could also foreign properly\nowners.\nIn respect to properly owners, it is\nnow provided that they must have $100\nworth of property to qualify. Under\ntin* old act 10 joint owners could vote.\nAgain, license holders and householders must make a declaration that\nthey have been a continuous resident in\ntlie municipality for one year, and that\nthey are British subjects.\nThe \"one man, one vote,\" principal\nis aimed at under the new act. There\nwill he no more voting by one person\nin three wards. Electors must vote in\n'lie wards in which Ihey reside. In\nllie case where a voter resides outside\ntlie city limits he will vote in the ward\nin which he has lhe most real estate.\nSAflPLINQ AGENTS\nOre Shipped to Nelson lor Treatment\nwill be Carefully Looked Alter.\nNELSON.

Strange what a\ngreat commercial value the simple date\nupon a commodity reaches sometimes,\nbut perhaps it was the \"intrincsic\"\nvalue of the contents of the cellar that\nwas responsible for the immense price\npaid.
