Ainsworth is the oldest camp and  one. of the stillest in tlie country, but  it has resources rival; will one day fill  its up hill streets with a teeming population.    At present it is as -quiet as  a respectable cemetery and the street  lamps offer no   competition   to  the  perties,;as it is understood that the  Pilot Bay smelter will not allow any  rival to get this kind of ore from  them.  Between Coffee and Woodbury  crocks, a distance of five miles, there  are located-on one ledge 27 claims.  Crown grants have been issued for 21  of these.

The Slocan Star will ship 1,000 tons  of ore during February and March.  After that it ma3r shut down for a  short time until a wagon road is constructed from the mine to the wagon  road that the Government will build  from Three Forks to Cody creek.  Seven thousand dollars will be expended on this road, and its construction ensures shipments of ore from the  Slocan Star and other mines throughout the entire year, instead of about  four months, as it has been during  the past. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  A 'Son si Mo -Move.   .'  *o  with  the g-eneral enter-  fe>\"  The C.

As a result of this, they load their sleighs to  the brim, moving 80 tons a day.

British.Columbia has four smelters,  three dead and one living. We visited the live one the other day. It is  located at Pilot Bay and cost $350,000.  Smelters come high and much cash  must be expended before one of them  will \"blow in\" a cent. We went  through the institution with Mr.Gordon. He is well posted in the busi  ness, and explained the workings of  the concentrator in a concise and interesting manner. The works are  equipped with all the modern improvements and runs night and day.  It put us in mind of a flouring mill  somewhat.  The ore is crushed, run through  jigs, and other machines until it concentrates four into one and is ready  for the roasting process. Y\\Te will not  attempt to give a technical and scientific account of the inner life of a  smelting and concentrating plant.  Few of our readers would care to read  it, and the balance, would not undei-  stand it. The mill is grinding at  present 200 tons of ore per day, and  in two weeks' time the first stack of  the smelter will be blown in: Three  Other stacks are to be erected, giving  a combined smelting capacity of 100  tons per day, 40 tons of which will  have to be purchased from mines  other than those owned by the company. Coke is being brought in from  Colorado and Washington, while  charcoal is being manufactured at -ihe  works. Thirty wood-choppers are  employed and 3,000 \"cords are now in.  siglit. We would like to have that  much in our backyard, if it would  hold it.  About 100 men are employedby  the company, 35 of whom are engaged at the Blue Bell mine. , The company will put in 'an automatic roaster  and do custom work in the concentrator. The smelter is a credit to the  people who have built it,and we hope  they will make a fortune out of it. U  they 'cannot do it smelting ores, they  might charge an admission fee to see  the works. It is a curiosity in Canada  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand is alive.  Three Si washes came into Kaslo  the other day, looking for a place to  pitch their tent. When they learned  that the railroad was likely'; to be  built this year, they concluded there  would be too many white folk to  bother them, - so they moved put  again. They should try Lardo,  Nashville, or some of the other deserted paper cities of the country.  ;-. Ainsworth may be a dull town, but  it is the only place in Canada where  a frog concert can be heard every  evening ofthe year. This is owing  to the hot springs that bubble up on  the townsite. . The;frogs keep under  the houses, where the hot water ooze^  from the earth, and sing their solos  and duetts without any regard to, or  interruption from, the iciest weather  that the district can produce.  The clause in the mining law of  British Columbia, making it possible  for the owner of a valuable mine to  have it jumped, provided he overlooks the matter of keeping his license  paid up, should be done away with,  or at least each mine owner should be  given a reasonable time to pay lip  the necessary $5, with costs, The  claim jumper is generally despised,  but we do not blame any man for  jumping a property when the law  makes it possible for him to do s\ufffd\ufffd  legally. Laws should be kept or  rescinded. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd-   Nelson wants a smelter, and some  of the ' business men offer a bonus of  $100,000 in property, and money to  any company who will locate there.  They are enterprising people in Nelson and talk big for the amount of  coin they could raise for an institution  of this kind. It always looks bad  when a town has to offer such large  inducements to get establishments  started. If the natural advantages  are not strong enoughtO allow a  smelter to start Of its own accord, a  bonus should not be given, as it is a  false way of doing business, and is  rarely satisfactory to either of the  parties concerned.  A church, according to the discipline ofthe Methodist body, has been  organized here, with a limited membership.  Those holding time cheques against  the New Denver-Three Forks sleigh  road should send them into W. Tlioiii-  liuson fo.r'paynient.  Rev. J. F.

Her clothes had  caught fire from the stove.

Second Year  IK EAST KOOTEf AT.  Indications of a Big: Boom \/Next Summer  in Gold Mining.  The many ledges discovered lust  summer in the neighborhood of Fort  Steele, by parties who have been  prospecting for gold, have beyond  doubt opened the eyes of many men  as to the vast possibilities that lie in  East Kootenav.  That section is easily reached from  Jennings, Mont., steamers running;  twice a week to Fort Steele, bringing  freight and passengers Being almost clue north of the very prosperous camps of Montana and in the gold  belt, it cannot but be possible that  the coming \"summer will see great  activity in mining there. Already  the mother lode 'Haasbeen located and  a number of rich strikes made thereon. Bonds have been secured for  some ot the properties, and negotiations are now under way for the erection of a large stamp .mill on the  claims owned by parties who reside  in Spokane. One bond is for $35,000,  and the erection : of a mill and the  other for a sale right but of at least  $75,000.     '\/ y''v>  Two railroads will be prosecuted  through\/the Crow's Nest Pass\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthe  Canadian Pacific and the British Columbia Southern roads,- the bonds of  the latter having been sealed by act  of parliament, arid entered on them  al; the rate of .$3,500 a mile. This  road wi 11 run southwest and cOn nect  with the Great Northern at Bonner's  Ferry, or a branch that will be built  to the boundarv line. The C.P.R.  will connect with the Nelson & Fort  Sheppard at Nelson, and then up the  Slocan river and onward to the town  of Nakusp.  Near Fort Steele great placer fields  have been c[uietly located and a busy  season is assured. That section, in  the early Ws, was one ot the busiest  placer camps in the west, and thousands of men were at work on the  various streams that flow into the  Upper Kootenay, Wild Horse, Perry,  the upper jfcyea, and other streams  having no local name. Immense  sums were taken out, but no one  thought of staking ledges. An ounce  a day was then thought a reasonable  output, but now easy transportation  and the low price of provisions have  made other placers that could not then  he worked valuable.  The probable elevation of the plateau on which Fort Steele is situated  is somewhere.'.- near 3,000 feet above  sea level, and this would be the general average of the surrounding country. The noble Rockies lie on the  eas\/side of the upper Kootenay, and  the formations are quite different  from those of the west side. On\" the  eas: side arc large dykes of lime,  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdcari,ying iron pyrites and porphyry,  slate, granite, and cyanite and dark-  colored oxidized quartz, and about 18  n il_s south of Fort Steele, large de  posits of coal. Everywhere evidences  of vast volcanic upheavals, changed  water courses, glacial action, and  many geological phenomena are to be  seen. ..  On t^e east side is the mother lode,  a large quartz ledge, oxidized,carrying gold, with a trend to the northwest. This is the ledge that furnished the geld to the placer grounds that  were worked in the early times. All  streams that cut it have been worked  more or less for gold and they have  produced millions. The Wild Horoe  lies on the west side. The character  of the gold on the east and west sides  varies considerably, one boing worth  $19 per ounce and the other but $12  or $14, this being caused by the  amount of copper in that of the east  side.   \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.-\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd '      ;\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd '-\"'7  Ore .Shipments of a Year.  Very large shipments of ore were  made through the port of. New Westminster during the year 1894 The  port's entries include, as it should be  stated, all the up-country mine region, having the following outports in  connection, viz., Nelson, Osoyoos,  Fort Steele, Kamloops and Douglas.  One of these; Fort Steele, in East  Iiootenay, is more than 800,;miles  from Westminster. Tlie port and sub-  ports are all under the control of J. S.  Clute. Gold was in 1894 shipped  through the port of New Westminster  and its outports to a value of $77,027;  .coppeiy 9,097,576 lbs. in all,to a value  $54,883; lead, 5,592,700 lB., to a  value of $134,500, and silver valued  at $359,711, whilst ores not specially  stated were- valued at $7,338. The  total value of the above ore shipments  which were mainly from the Koote  nay country was $633,518.  Is issued at New Denver, B. C, on Thursday.  Wet weather, snow slides, hard times, or the  sheriff never hinders its publication. It  comes out just the same.  X'i- {  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdV'--  Women and Children in Mines.  James Grundy, inspector of mines,  has reported to the Dominion Government that he is unable to discover any  distressing circumstances connected  with the employment of women and  children in the mines of Eastern Canada. He further states that they appear to be quite happy, and that the  prohibition of female labor would  have a bad effect of a far-reaching  character, reasoning that without the  wages earned by these unfortunate  wretches in the manner indicated  their families would be in distress.  This is an old, threadbare story, and  opposed to the best interests of humanity. It was vamped up in England and Scotland when it was agitated there to abolish this class of  labor; and it is the same story that is  now being used, and with the same  arguments, why this species of labor  should not be abolished in the mines  of Belgium and France. The employment of women and children in the  dark recesses of the mine, and amidst  all the unhappy influences connected  f lerewitli should be abolished now  and forever,  Does not dream of making a million out of it,  but he expects to get a luxurious living. In  order to do this it is necessary to have cashable material, and the world at large is cordially invited to dig up enough money to pay  for an annual interest. To accommodate the  public wedb  At prices that do  not discord with the despondent price of silver. piwU-^W^MIK^B^-'^il^^  ;#jtfjI#--Jtt->.-^.^  Second '.Tear  E  &e  >*>  5  OliE SHIPMENTS.  Record   of the'Mineral Being: \"Handled'  ' .,-'  Over the ;K\"-..&.S. Rail way.  Shipments of ore over the railway  have practically ceased now for some  time to come. . Up to Thursday, the  exports for the week amounted to 415  toils, chiefly to 'Omaha. Since then  the heavy fall of snow, followed  by rain, has demoralized the system.

Train  :months', the Duck Creek  ,iof Minneapolis, has had  five men working on the President  and  Lizard,  two  claims ;ori  Duck  creek, not,far from Pilot Bay.    The  President is a gold, and copper claim,  and upon it a tunnel 175 feet long has,  been driven, with a 30 foot crosscut,*  but the ledge has not yet been struck.  The Lizard is a galena prospect, and  a shaft 40 feet iu depth has been sunk  upon it.    The water causes consider  able trouble on the Lizardj the wheel  and pump in use not having proved  sufficient to keep the shaft dry.   In  consequence work has. been stopped  till spring, when a diamond drill will  be set up and the properties thoroughly developed.  No Ledffe Yet.  A. Sproat and S. M, Wharton paid  a visit to the Reco on Friday, to have  a look at the recent strike in the  lower tunnel. They found that the  mineral had been worked through,  the lead having been small and not  continual, giving evidence of being a  slide. The drift is in several feet,  and a Combination of sulphur and arsenic has been struck, while other  signs are apparent that an extensive  body of ore is being approached.  The rock the men are now working  in will burn steadily when set fire to,  giving a beautiful blue 1 ighty at the  same time emitting a horrible stench:  News' of a lasting strike is expected  daily. .

The country lying between the  head of Slocan lake and the foot of  Summit lake will come in, for a great  deal of attention this spring.

Nothing' was said about this Last  week, the peculiar actions of Mike  McAndrews and J. Cress excited the  curiosity of townspeople. They disappeared Thursday, returning late  Saturday night. It was then learned  that they had been in the same local-  it,y and had staked out a claim, showing $107 in gold to the ton. These  two strikes have caused much com-.  iv-ent, and it is definitely settled now  (h t the gold belt crosses to the foot of  Summit lake ard runs down to Cariboo civ ek. Acting upon this, many  prospectors will spread over the coiin-  trv so soon as the snow permits. The  s^ene ofthe strikes is about half way  Leiween here and Nakusp.
