R. S.\nLennie, of the legal firm of Elliot &\nLennie, of Nelson, which has handled\nthe company's affairs since the financial\ndifficulties commenced, has received a\ncablegram from the Chapleau's head\noffice in Paris, France, that indicates\nthe policy to be adopted by the company\nwith regard to its future actions. It\nhas been determined to reorganize the\ncorporation with a considerably augmented capital, the additional funds\nthus accruing to be devoted to wiping\nout the company's obligations and to\nre-establishing tbe treasury on a sound\nfinancial basis. Pending such reorganization, the company will pay something\nover 50 cents on the dollar of its obligations and furnish the directors' personal\nguarantee for the payment of the balance. A proposition to this effect is\nnow before the creditors, and so far as\ncan be learned the feeling is such that\nthe offer is likely to be accepted, including an extension of 60 days to the\ncompany. The general understanding\nis that the Chapleau company proposes\nto extend its operations in this district\nand that one of the features of the re-\ni!i)Pltmcted-Compiny'8 programme will\nbe the acquisition of further mineral\nland in addition to their present Lemon\ncreek holdings.\nSCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.\nIt is reported that nitrate deposits of\ngreat value and quite extensive have\nbeen discovered in Death Valley, Cal.,\nwhence the principal supply of borax\ncomes.\nAntimony in any form and copper\ncarbonates make fire assays for lead\nentirely unreliable.

Zinc\nore has boon growing scarce in Europe\nfor several years, while the district In\nquestion has been yielding more than\nAmerican smelter* could handle. The\ndisposal of tho surplus In Europe will\ntend to keep up prices.\nWith strict reference to accurate\nstatement the term \"tumid\" applies to\na nearly horizontal passage through a\nhill or mountain, open at both ends as a\nrailroad tunnel.

It\nis proposed by the Kaslo Board to have\nrepresentative mining and business\nmen selected from all the mining camps\nin Kootenay to go in a body to Ottawa\nand present to the Dominion house the\nvital need of the Government coming\npromptly to the assistance of the mining\nindustry, by offering a bonus to induce\nthe erection of refineries for the treatment of the product of our silver-lead\nmines. The proposed action is greatly\nfavored by all parties, and, if not carried\nout on as large a scale as has been proposed, there is no doubt that some step\nin this direction will be made, and the\nimportance of the matter brought before the Government.\u00bb Sandon has already taken steps in the right direction.\nThe Mine Owners' Association has resolved to send to Ottawa at least three\ndelegates. The Miners' Union will undoubtedly send one and the' city may\n\"s^dlll^^Otuerclmps'areTesponding\nas readily.\nAs evidence of the earnestness ' of\nthe Kaslo Board of Trade the following\nletter is produced:\nKaslo Board ov Taixdc,\nKaslo, B. 0., Msroh 18, W01.\nTo tha Editor Taa Lidos:\nDear Sir,\u2014Kindly note that tbe people who ire\ngoing to Ottsws to talk \"bounty on lead production to the Government,\" are counting* upon tbe\npleasure of the company of two or three delegates from New Denver, Mr. Beaton, who Is\ntraveling In the Interest of the soheme, will probably get around to you In a few days. In the\nmeantime, bswever, I extend you a cordial invitation to get ready. There are no people more\ndeeply Interested than those of New Denver; and\nnone who, by personal testimony, can do more\nto convince the Government of the Justice of our\ndemands.\nThe Intention is to get away from Kelson, via\nO. N. P. R., on the J5tl\u00bb. We eipect to get a very\nlow excursl *. n rate, and what we now know there\nwill be SO to 60 delegates. But the Idea Is to\nhave all parts of the country and all classes of\ntbe community represented.\nIt Is thought that about 16 days will be spent\non the trip, and whila It ts possible that somn\nwho will go will bave business of their own to\nattend to, yvt the delegation Is to be known as a\n\u2022 Mining\" delegation, aud Is, as a deletf-tluu, to\ntake up none but mining questions.\nThe appointment of a mining comrals4on,the\norganisation of a department of mines, tbe revision of tho tariff astt effects lead Inijiortatlons;\nsuch <|Uf\u00abtlons as these In addition to tbe bounty\napplication, will be dealt with.\nYours faithfully,\nU.O HUCHUUII.\nIn addition to the action taken by the\nKaslo Board, tho Nelson Board of Trade\nhas presented the case in the following\nstrong language:\nWherttas, Loud mining in British Col*\numbla hat grown into a most important\nindustry, giving employment to a large\nnumber of men at good wages, supporting tho population of an extensive area\nIn the K\"Otenay districts, and adding\nmuch to the general prosperity) and,\nwhereat, the Increase and development\nof the industry aie certain under favor\nable conditiont.whlch conditions mainly\ndepend on the miners being able to got\ntlieir ore smelted at a reasonable charge\nlor freight and treatment; and,whereas,\nthe demand (or thete lead ore* by\nsmeltf.r*s in the United States has a!mo#t\nceased, and the capacity of the smelters\nnow operating in British Columbia is\ntotally Inadequate tn treat the output\nof thfcwi Hunt's, Homu of which have,\nalready k'tsenedthelroutputand others\nhave closed down on account of these\nI difficulties; and, whereas, no meant of\nrehning basts bunion eiitt* today tn\nCanada, tht-rehy necessitating the shipment to liii'tled.Slate* iiflneiies of the\nlead product of Canadian smelters, and\n* tnnrh htah-'r rut* fer refininir \\fnA\nthan formerly it now being demanded\nby the American Smelting k Refining\ntruer,; and,whereat, there is no tendency\nobservable to increase the smelting\ncapacity In the district now suffering,\nwhile the danner of having to pay excessive rate* (or refining continue; and,\nwhwoet, the i-staWlthment nt a Jwirl re-\nflner.v readily aocnasiMo to tl\u00bb\u00ab .\u2022.mfltert\nin the lead producing dittiirta would\nundoubtedly Ifad to the erection of\nmore furnaces, snd that afford the lead\nmining industry the relief it now so\nurgently stands in need of.\nTherefore, be it resolved, That in the\nopinion of this board the establishment\nof a lead refinery in an accessible position in Canada is the surest and best\nmeans of fostering and encouraging the\nlead mining industry of British Columbia, and the board,respectfully urges\non the Dominion government that to\naid this important purpose, and to assist\nthis new industry until fully established, a bounty be granted for five years\nof 85 per ton on pig lead, the product\nfrom ores mined, smelted and refined\nin Canada. The board would also\npoint out that In British Columbia fuel\nis cheap and of excellent quality; that\nit is an undoubted advantage to have a\nrefinery near the smelters, and that pig\nload refined in British Columbia could\ncompete in the markets of the Orient,\nwhich would not be the case with 'ead\nrefined further east; The board wouid\nalso suggest that if a bounty be granted\n\"the*goTernmenv\"should*T6tain*vh6-p\u00a9wer\u2014\nof interfering in case more than fair\nand profitable \"refining rates were\ncharged.' 7\nDON'T LIKE THK AMENDMENT.\nA petition was clrculafed and liberally\nsigned in New Denver this week, pro*\ntesting against tbe proposed amend*\nment to the Mineral Act requiring the\nfirst year's assessment to be recorded\nat the time of recording the location.\nThere are many who favor the amend*\nment, howover, and claim that no\nargument has been advanced yet in opposition to it that would stand against\nthe argument that would be advanced\nin its favor if It were tried for a period\nof five years. As one puts it: \"It\nis a direct blow at the re-staking policy,\nor, in other words, the laty-man's policy,\nthat is now permitted under our mining\nlaws, With such a law in force there\nwould be fewer wild-cats staked, more\nwork done, and more properties developed. The early development of every\nclaim would mean the more rapid development of the country, Themore work\nthat is required upon a prospect at the\noutset the better it is for the locator. It\nwould do away with the foolish policy\nof holding a lot of unprofitable ground,\nand tho money that would be aaved\nyearly in recorder's fees could be put\ninto work on a prospect that promised\nsomething. Claim working will de*\nvelope a country; claim holding will\ncurse it. Anything that require* work\non a mineral claim should be encouraged. It may appear on the face of It\nto be a hardship on tho prospector, but\nIts practical working would be to bis\nadvantage In the long run.

During the next five\nyears many attempts to produce illuminating oil were made, but without\n\u2022uccesB. \u00bb\nThe first scientific report of petroleum\nih California was made in 1865. Professor B. Silliman spoke favorably of\nthe prospect of obtaining petroleum in\nremunerative quantities in the state,\nand in the next year many companies\nwere formed. Their indifferent success\nwas due to the fact that there was no\ndrilling machinery adapted to California\nconditions to be had, also to the fact\nthat imperfect knowledge of the conditions lea to operations similar to those\nin the east, which proved almost futile.\nThe great excitement which followed\nthe discoveries at Oil City, Pa., directed\nattention again to the many indications\nof oil in California. The boom in oil\nstocks in the east reached the coast and\nsoon the chief news in the California\nKapers was that of oil finds. The craze\negan to cool off in 1865 It is interesting to note now that many of the successful oil wells of today are in ground\nexplored without avail prior to 18(.o.\nThe first successful refining was done\nby the California Star Oil company at\nalmoBt the identical spot where it was\nfirst attempted by Andreas Pico in 1855.\nThe new discovery of oil fields, due\nto a clearer, knowledge of tiie peculiar\nconditions in California, the improvement, in machinery for drilling and\n(tumping, the increase in transportation\nacilities and a resulting market, for\npetroleum, the discovery that the deposits of coal in the state are inadequate\n-tn.the steadily increasing demands fori\nfuel, the introduction ofTrosh eastern\ncapital to develop the business are all\nfactors in the present eminence of the\noiljndustry in California, despite the\nbunted booms of early days. In 1887\nthere were only four companies engaged\nin petroleum minlug. Now there are\norganizations innumerable, and eleven\npetroleum refineries, not to mention the\nasphaltuni refineries at all. Up to tho\nyaar 1876 the estimated annual production of oil in California was 175,000\nbarrels; in 1880,877,145 barrels; in 1896,\n1,252,777 barrels; In 1899, 2,292,123 barrels, and in 1900 the estimated product\nwas about 5,000,000 barrels.\nWith these hard facts about the\ngrowth of the industry in California,\nthere are still many problems to solve.\nNo two oil districts furnish exact conditions. Experts familiar wlMi one district may have to learn everything ovei\nagain in another. This accounts (or\nthe fact that even scientific and experienced men have occasionally sunk large\nBums in dry wells.\nThe belt which yields In some places\ncoal and In others gas or oil, begins in\nsome unknown spot in Mexico and extends along the Pacific cnast to Alaska.\nEdgar F. Howe, of the Los Angelea\nHerald, who has personally inspected\nnearly every oil producing district of\ntho itato, says:\nIt is true that in many localities there\nli neither oil nor coal in considerable\nquantities in evidence, but the forma*\ntion in which bitumens are found is\ncontinuous, and the absence of all oil Is\ndue to tbe fact that there was uo provision for ita retention In the rooks. Aa\nthere must be natural reservoirs, in the\nform of aauditone overlaid with shale,\nit li evident that oil could not be expected to be present in all placet where\nthe formation It favorable; and thut It\nit that the greet belt reaching through\nthe ttate is not uniformly rich In oil,\nwhich It found only in small belt* or\npoolt.\nThe coast range la not composed of\ngranite like the Blerra Nevadaa, but It\ncompoted of the three principal factors\nof oil bearing formations everywhere in\ntbe world, shale, sandstone nnd foaslll*\nferout conglomerate.

It gavej\nat one time three-fourths of California's\noutput. The city leads the county.\nThe original paying well there was\nsunk in 1892 and now portions of the\ncity are forests of derricks. It would\nteem that the owners must encroach on\none another's territory, at least underground. It is estimated that a well will\ndrain a circumference of 150 feet. In\nJuly, 1900, there were 829 wells in Los\nAngeles city, owned by 150 companies.\nIt is a nearly correct estimate lo say\nthat the field has produced 7,182,000\nbarrels up to Sept. 1,1900.\nThe most, famous well in the world is\nin the Newball district of Lob Angeles\ncounty It has produced more than\n1,500,000 brrrels since it was opened in\n1876 and today it shows no sign of giving\nout\nSanta Barbara county poBsesaes the\noddest oil field in the world. At Sum-\nmerland is the only place where the\ndrill is sunk througfi the waters of the\nocean. The oil may thus be shipped\nwithout even the cost of transportation\nto the wharf.\nIn May, 1899, oil was discovered in\nKern county about six miles from\nBakersfield. The first well waB completed in September, and now there is\nno place in California where the indications for oil are so favorable as in this\nsection. Kern county is as large as the\nstate of Connecticut and it is probable\nthat it will become the greatest oil producing county in California.\nThe best oil fieldsare four miles east\nof Bakersfield, the metropolis of the\ncounty. It is 814 mi'es north to San\nFrancisco and 168 south to Los Angeles.\nThe published freight rate on oil from\nBakersfield to Los Angeles is 42 cents a\nbarrel, and from Bakersfield to San\nFrancisco 52 cents \u2014 although, large\nPractically\nshippers get a 45-cent rate.\nLos Angeles makes the price in oil. If\nit is one dollar at Los Angeles it is a\ndollar plus the freight from Los Angeles\nat San Francisco.\nSome of the heaviest consumers of\nCalifornia oil are the Santa. Fe,and\nSouthern Pacific railroads, \"the street\ncar and gas companies\/the city water\nworks and the electric light and power\ncompanies in Los Angeles arid San\nFrancisco,,and the electric light and\nsmelter companies and great mining\ncompanies of Arizona.\nThe transportation problem has bf\ncourse figured largely in the develop\nment of the California oil fields. For 15\nyears oil has been hauled iu tank cars\nto Los Angeles and from Los Angeles\nto San Francisco it has been conveyed\nin tank ships.\nPipe lines have also been established\nfrom the wells to the cities. There are\nmany of these lines rangirg from three\nto 44 miles in length, with from 200 to\n1,900 feet head. Still the transportation\nJuestion is a big one when the Southern\n'actfic railway, although it is rapidly\nbuilding tank cars, cannot haul all the\noil it needs for its own use.\nWith the discovery that California\npetroleum was even more valuable for\nfuel than for refining commenced the\nprofitable production of oil. In the west\ntt is found that oil is a cheaper fuel than\ncoal. Coal is always expensive inCali-\nfni*niiLjtnri_Ht^l_A-liparr.fil-_flil_is_Bqiiiva-\nlent to $1.50 a ton for coal, which in\nreality costs $7.50. As a result locomotives and other engines are being\nfitted with oil consumers and the oil\nindustry is going forward by bounds.\nThe western sugar refinery in a year's\nconsumption of oil at $1 80 per barrel\nsaved $46,012.15.\nThe greatest future for the use of\ncrude oil, however, will be in metallurgical work where the degree of heat\nhas to be adjusted with great nicety.\nMany ores have not been worked in\nCalifornia on account of the high price\nof fuel. Tho objection is now overcome\nin the use of petroleum. If the Southern Pacific company used oil only for\nfuel in its locomotives and stationary\nengines in California alone, it is said\nthat it would consume over 4,500,000\nbarrels of oil per year, nearly the entire\noutput of tho state at present.\nCalifornia oil is a green-blnck crude\npetroleum with an asphaltnm base. The\nproduct of parts of Ventura county and\nof the Nawlmll district in Los Angolan\ncounty is a notable exception Those\nare tho only places in the world where\ntho oil is white. It looks like refined\nkerosene and at the well for two years\nhat brought $4.60 a barrel. The addition of thii oil to tho other dark product\ngives in refining an illuminating oil of\n20 per cent better quality. Hence it It\nsold for mixing. It can be used for\neither engine or illuminating purposes\nwithout refining. California oil burns\nbetter than the Pennsylvania product.\nAny oil In California or In other\nplacet flows of ittell. When the oil\nstratum It first punctured, the pretsure\nof tho gat forces the oil out. but this It\nquickly exbauated and the oil mutt\nthen be pumped. The flow from the\nBeaumont, Texaa, gusher, which wat\nstruck Jan. 9, blew 500 feet into the air\nand the derrick and all machinery wat\nthrown down. On the 14th, it was\nunder control and capped. Thia oil\ncannot be refined now as there ia sulphur in it. When the process of preparing it for the market iB discovered\nand it is uncapped, the well mav flow\nfor two months.\nIn California oil is found at all depths\nfrom the seepage on the surface to 4,000\nfeet in Adams canyon, Ventura county,\nwhere ib the deepest well west of tne\nRocky mountains. The first well in\nKern county was only sixty feet deep,\nwhile the deepest wells are in Ventura\nand range from 2,000 to 2,500 feet in\ndepth.\nThe Coalinga field in Fresno county\nis a district of gushers. The gushers\nare intermittent, flowing every twenty\nminutes when first struck, but after a\ntime they cease to flow. The most productive wells are 1,000 or more feet in\ndeoth.\n, The oldest wells in the state have\nbeen pumped for 20 years, and it is believed that the average wells, although\nthey are not as deep as those of Pennsylvania, which have produced for 85\nyears, will average longer.\nThe cost of wells for the first depth of\n150 feet is about $800. In some districts\nthe cost ranges from $500 to $3,000 for\nsinking1 the entire well The most expensive well cost $85,000 owing to the\ncharacter of the boring. .\nAs a general rule oil lands in California are good for nothing else.\nThere are plenty of wild cat companies, of course, with no real oil territory to build on or no satisfactory\ngeological evidence that oil strata exist\nunder their lands. Most mining enterprises which have for their object the\ndevelopment of new territory,especially\nwhen operations are conducted at a distance from any known oil field, are\n\"wild cat\" propositions.\nA great deal of California oil is used\nin the manufacture of medicines and in\nsprinkling dusty roads. Much of it is\nconsumed for lubricating, some of it\nbeing almost pure in its lubricating\nqualities. Asphaltum is also a valuable\nproduct.\nAlthough it is often said that illuminating oil must be imported by California\nand that native oil cannot be properly\nrefined for illuminating purposes, the\nStandard Oil company has accepted the\nproduct of the two refineries in San\nFrancisco and of that at Chino, and has\npaid a good price for one of the refieries\nat San Francisco.\naavttaaaAM okbam or tautab rewear*\n\u2022j>ie\nyam\n~CREAM\nBAKING\nJHWWR\nHighest Honors, World's Fair\nGold Medal, Midwinter Fair\nAvoid Baking Powders containing\nalum.

Nicholson to Messrs. Bostock, the glucose\nmanufacturers, and stated that some of the cr\\s\ntals obtained in the analysis were almost entirely\ncomposed of white arsenic. He had made a\ncalculation of tbe total amount of arsenic which\nwould be found in thirty weeks delivery of beer,\nand it gave a total of over four tons of white\narsenic, or 2,191,000 grains per week, which, if\ndivided into equal doses and administered at one\ntime, was enough to kill one millloi people, or\nthe whole ot the inhabitants of Great Britain in\na season. \" >\nThe vast pllgrimags of Bacchus devotees\nplaces both the questions of prohibition and\nstute ownership of the whiskey business too far\nacross the golden hills of time to be within\nmeasurable distance of praotlcal politics for\nmany yvjars to come, but surely such iniquitous,\nunblushing legalized murder would not,. If men\nhad as much brains as they have stomaohs, be\ntolerated.\nWhen the Holmes castle tragedies were dls\ncovered In Chicago, public Indignation was\naroused to lynch law temperature. When a poor\nIgnorant duffer of a negro in Texas committed\nan outrage on a white woman a few days ago,\nthe Texans made a public holiday and held a\npublic demonstration to lynch tbe poor fool, and\nafter saturating him with coal oil, set fire to him\nIn the prison yard. But for years that rich,\neducated, civilized article, the brewer, has been\nwilfully and deliberately doing to death by slow\npoison the worshippers of Bacchus, and yet the\nlaw Interferes not, and public opinion calmly sits\nby, makes an Indignant gesture perhaps, but\nsuch is his Infatuation for the, damning stuff,\nnotwithstanding the many clear, horrible,heartrending proofs of this wholesale legalized murder, not a thing Is done, and the guardians of the\npublic health and life are either powerless, lazyi\nor personally interested In this shameful business\nto Interfere. And yet we boast of our civilization.\nSavagery, rather I\nNo wonder that the people are taking the\nhatchet in hand and attempting what the law is\neither powerless or afraid to undertake. The\naction bf Mrs. Nation and her hatchet brigade Is\nbut a storm signal of the mighty tornado, which\nsome of these fine days, manned by wronged'\nBuffering and oppressed men, women and children, wil; arraign themselves, not only against\nihe whiskey trust, but against the rapaolous\ncrowd of millionaires, trust mongers and monopolists, who are thieving and murdering the\npoor unfortunates of helpless and starving\nhumanity to satisfy and magnify their Infernal\ngreed. , YEL D'AORB.\nKootenay.

At the end of two hours Levy\nwas loser to the tune of $16,500. He\narose from his seat, and was about to\nleave. He hesitated a moment; and\nturning toward the table he noticed\nthe queen had won three times,\n\"Hold the deal, please,\" he observed,\nat the same time reaching over and\nplacing a bill on the queen.; The\ncard won, and the dealer paid the\nbet for $1,000. Moving the whole\nBum over on theace,Levy won again.\nThe deal was now near the close, and\nthe Montana sport calmly waited tor\nthe last turn. It soon came, with a\nten, jack and seven in the box.\n\"I call it seven-jaok, for the two\nthousand,\" cried Levy. It came ten-\nseven, and Levy unconcernedly left\nthe table. The gamt proceeded as\nthough nothing out of the ordinary\nhad happened.\nThe Fright the Ghost Had.\nDuring a confirmation tour in the\ndiocese of Peterborough, the late\nbishop of London put up one evening\nat an old manor house, and slept in a\nroom supposed to be haunted. Next\nmorning at breakfast the bishop was\nasked whether he had seen the ghost.\n\"Yes,\" he replied, with great solemnity, \"but I have laid the spirit; it\nwill never trouble you again.\nBeing further questioned upon the\nsubject, the bishop said:\n\"The ghost instantly vanished\nwhen I asked for a subscription toward the restoration of Peterborough\ncathedral. \"\u2014Argonaut\nWhen Fears aro Railed in Louisiana.\nWhile Bishop Potter of the Episcopal church was traveling through\nLouisiana some years ago he addressed inquiries to his fellow-passengers with a view of obtaining knowledge regarding the orchards and\nfruit interests of the state.\n\"Do you raise pears in Louisiana ?\"\ninquired the bishop.\n\"We do,\" responded the Louisian-\nian, \"if we have threes or better. \"~\nSan Francisco Call.\n1890\nEstablished in Nelson\n1890\nAmerican\nWatches\nDiamonds\nJewelery\nAU work guaranteed at\u2014\nNelson, B, C.\n.a*.\nAre you needing goods in our line?\nIf so why not send us a trial order?

He died\nin Butte a few days ago, and as is so\noften tbe case with members of that\ncalling, he died broke.\nAt one time Levy was one of the\nmost noted gamblers in Montana. He\nwas a plunger, and no game was too\nstiff for him to \u00bbplay. When fortune\nwas running his way, Levy had a\ngreatbankaccount, and. his.games\nhad no limit. His favorite game was\npoker, but faro commanded a good\ndeal of his attention.\nNo sport in the west had more nerve\nthan Ltivy, and no man had a more\ntender heart. In the flush days he\nspent a vast amount of money in\ncharity, and yet few people knew\nanything about it. Tne wife of a\nnoted western Congressman owes her\neducation to Levy, But he was not\nmuch given to sentiment; his trade\ndid not promote that characteristic.\nIn 1876 Levy paid a visit to Virginia\nCity, Nev. Times were flush and\nmoney a drug on the market. Con.\nVirginia apd California mines were\neach paying $1,080,000 every, month\nin dividends, and the 8,000 miners on\nthe Comstock were earning $4 a day.\nStooks were fluctuating, and fortunes\nwere made and lost In a day. The\nvery air was charged with the spirit\nof speculation. An hour alter Levy\nlanded In the town, he was in BUI\nDormer's luxurious club rooms. There\nwas an air of quiet elegance about\nthe place that contrasted strangely\nwith tbe Montana housos. Levy\nthought tho house was run to merely\ncatch the dry goods clerks, bookkeepers and such like. But he concluded to chance It. Taking a seat\nat tho crowded table, ho inquired as\nto what was the limit. The dealer\nglanced at Levy, recognized a real\nsport, and without saying a word,\nKlnted to the celling. Then the play\ngan. Levy dropped ten twenties\non the king and coppered the Ave\nspot for a similar sura. They lost on\ntne turn. Five hundred dollar-) went\ndown on the ace, but ll remained\nthere only a moment\u2014the dealer\ntransferred It to another part of the\ntable where a mine superintendent\nhad won. Levy drew from hia pooket\na roll of bills and passing over a thou*\nsand dollars asked for blot chocks.\nHe tried one s.vstem after another,\nbut somehow tho cards would not\nThe fact that the American Smelting\n& Refining company is to increase its\ncapital stock to $100,000,000 reflects the\ngeneral condition of the mining industry\nin North America.
