Tho data as to\nhow much of this indebtedness has\nbeen paid is not available but it is\nsufficient to prevent tbe mine from\npaying dividends. Besides this it\nwas announced on Monday last tbat\ntbo Le Hoi management had laid off\n120 men, wbo wero working in certain\nlevels of tbe mine whero tbe ore was\nof a jjriulc ton low to bo operated\nwhile copper maintains its present\nprice, and that in a few days tbo\nforce would bo further decreased by\ntbe dismissal of about forty others.\nThe facts above set forth are a well\nknown in London as they are iiere and\ntho incident of Monday gave the bea<\na splendid opportunity to mako tbe\nraid and to force tbo shares down to\nthe lowfcfct point since the new Le\nBoi company was floated.\nTbe Le itoi mine has some rich ore\nshoots and the evident intention of\nthe management is to confine tho production of oro to these, pending the\nrise in tho value of copper when the\nlower grade portions of tbe ore bodies\ncan be again operated at a profit. The\nbattle of tbe management in the\nfuture will be to out down tbe expenses, A few months since when\nMr. Maodonald retired from the management it\" was estimated tbat there\nwas l 500,000 tons of ore between tbe\n000 foot level aud tho surface. Since\nthen considerable advance work bas\nbeen dons and doubtless the quantity\nof ore io sight has been materially\nincreased. By adopting the policy of\ntaking out tho higher grade oro the\naverage por ton can be increased up to\n#11* to (15 per ton or even higher and\nthis will leaves good margin of profit,\nso that in a short timo the indebtedness\nwill be wiped nut and as soon as\nthis is done tbe payment of dividends\ncan be resumed. At the same time any\nadvance in the price of copper would\nbe of material aid in increasing tho\nprofit* of the mine. We believe that\ntbe Le Roi is now being ably ana\neconomically conducted, and that it\nwill be befoioa great while placed\nIn a position to yield good profits to\nIts stockholders.

While\nall forts of improvements were being\nsuggested und made to the machinery\ntho fault lay in a plaeu where it was\nnot suspected. It was decided somo\nmonths ago to experiment with the\nsluicing and the water was rednced\nto the least possible amount to properly wash the dirt. The problem was\nsolved and it was palpable to all then\nthat the gold had been washed away\nand lost in tho sluicing by using too\nmuch water. The discovery caused\ngreat jubilation on tbe dredge the day\nit was made. The dregdo ia now\npaying interest on $100,000. which is\ntbe amount the syndicate has expended so far ia its operations. There are\nmany miles of rivei bed in which\nthero must be some very rich spots.\nTho Fraser river bare in its early\nhistory yielded some largo fortunes\nto the adventurous miners wbo flocked\nthere in 18:9, and from the success\nwhich is boing attained by the Cobel-\ndick dredge and tbe fact that a fleet\nof the same sort has been ordered by\nthe Fraser River Dredging 3o.it. is\nprobable that the old glories of the\nriver in tbe way of large prodctlon of\ntho yellow metal are in a measure,\nleast, to be revived.\nInterest nllowcil on Kpoclnl doposltH and on\nI BANK OF MONTREAL\nCapital\nEstablished 1817.

Describing a visit to the latter,\nMr, Pomeroy writes:\n\"The hands of the two big clocks\u2014\nthere must be one on each side to balance\u2014approach two. A minute later\nthe ushers, In full dress, each with a\nmetal chain around his neck, arrange\nthemselves In a row; the head usher\nannounces in a loud voice to the few\nDeputies already there: 'Monsieur le\nPresident!' and the elegant Paul Du-\nchiincl enters and ascends to his Beat\non the third platform. The hall fills\nwith Deputies. The audience nulets\ndown. Without any roll-call, reading\nof minutes, or other prellmlnory, the\nPresident announces that Deputy Berry will speak.\n\"A stocky, businesslike Frenchman\nascends the tribune. At first he speaks\ncalmly, but, soon warming up, he expostulates, implores, entreats, commands, exhorts. Gestures are frequent\nand emphatic. It Is an oration. A\nsharp remark starts a question from\nono aide. M. Berry answers It. Another and another follow In rapid succession. A member stops walking In\nfront and begins an excited explanation. Twelve or fifteen Deputies are\ntalking at once. M. Berry shrugs his\nshoulders with an eloquent gesture \u00abf\ndespair\u2014aa only a Frenchman can\nshrug. The President rap-! hard on the\ntable; he rings his bell again and again,\nrises, and calls- out: 'Attention, gentlemen!' The hubbub subsides nnd then\nrenews. The President pleads with\nthem: 'It Is Monsieur Berry who\nspeaks, gentlemen! Hear him!' His\nhands are extended In entreaty. His\nvoles has tears in It. He assumes the\nmost graceful, nonchalant, and pleading attitude. The speaker below htm\nbas stopped with a most patient and\nresigned air. A stalwart usher comes\nto the front and shouts 'Silence!' In\nthe lull that follows, M. Berry makes\nthe mistake of saying he could sing\nsomething that would convince them.\nAt once the shout, 'Chantant! Chan-\ntant!' ('Sing! Sing!') gooB up all over\nthe house. Nothing can be heard In\nthe din till M. Berry begins to talk In\nstentorian tones and gesticulates wildly and ends In an eloquent climax,\nwhich brings silence out of mere curiosity to hear him. A vote is taken\nand his motion Ia carried. Despite the\nnoise, oratory, and hubbub, the body\nmoves and action la taken. An Englishman la bewildered and scandalized\nby the tumult. He does not understand\nthe French love of a sensational effect\nand of display.\n\"President Duchane] has Just been\nmarried. A little later, a witty Deputy\nIn the course of his speech said, 'I ani\na benedick,' with a significant wave ol\nhla hand backward. At once a fusillade\nof questions were fired at him\u2014why\nwas he a benedick? how long would\nhe stay a benedick? was It good to be a\nbenedick? The President arose, explained, pleaded, expostulated in a most\npathetic and heart-rending manner.\nThe orator talked below. The witty\nquestions, bon-mots, and laughter scintillated acrosa the floor. The audience\nin the boxes applauded and watched\nthe actors through their opera-glasses.\nUshers came out and shouted, 'Silence!\nSilencer but no one paid any attention\nto them. It was as good as a circus.\nThey were all actors, and acting with\na verve, grace, and effectiveness utterly alien to the Anglo-Saxon.\"\nTurning to the British House of Commons, Mr. Pomeroy says that a policeman points the visitor through a magnificent hall Into an equally magnificent octagonal lobby without any neat*\nin It. Halls leading out of It have\nseats, but a policeman tolls you visitors are not allowed to sit on them.\nPolicemen are everywhere, and they\nact aa If tfhey were the chief ornaments of the building. Even a member\nof the House must get a special permit\nto take a lady with tho visiting party\nInto the House restaurant. \"While we\nare discussing the Parliament-toasted\nbuns nnd tea, we notice a sentry pacing up and down on the outside terrace.\nOn enquiry we find he was put there\nyenrs ago, when the'dynamite outrages\nstirred parliamentary sloth. The Idea\nwns that dynamite might bo thrown\nfrom a boat on the river and destroy\nthe buildings. He still paces.\"\nIllustrating this characteristic worship of precedent, the writer says that\nhis friend, Mr. Corrio Grant, member\nfor Leicester, cited a couple of interesting facts. On entering the chamber,\nevery member bows three times. At\nfirst Mr. Grunt thought thoy were bowing to tlio Speaker, as representing the\nflignity of the House. But one day he\nnoticed the Speaker himself bowed\nthree times on entering. He enquired,\nbut no ono seemed to know the reason\nfor this rule. The English in him be-\ncame aroused and he went digging to\nfind out. After n good deal of antiquarian research, he found that contuses ngo, In the timo of Henry VIII,,\nthe House of Commons met In St.\nStephen's ohapel, which of course waft\nUnman Catholic, as that was then the\nState and all-prevnlllng religion. At\nthe upper end,was an altar, and everyone coming in bowed three times to the\nHoly Trinity\u2014to the Fnthcr, to the\nSon, and to the Holy Ghost. Thoy no\nlonger meet In St. Stephen's chapel; the\nreligion is gone; the altar is gone; the\nreal reason for tho rule Is gone\u2014but\nthey still bow three times on entering.\nAgain, \"In the House of Commons the\nmembers sit on benches without any\ndesks. These benches run up and down\nthe hall, and nn aide runH up the center. The Government members sit on\none side nnd the Opposition on the\nother. Tltey thus face each other.\nThere are only enough seats for about\na third of the members. That also la\nEnglish. The arrangement of seats Is\nawkward for speaking, but it la 'old.'\nDown each side of tho aisle runs a narrow strip of rod carpet, Should a member in talking overstep this rod carpet, he Is called lo order nnd moves\nback. The two strips or red carpet are\nJust a little farther apart than the\nlength of a sword and the sword arm.\nThey are a relic of the timo when the\narmed knights sat on either side of the\nhouse and a member wan forbidden to\noverstep this red carpet lest In the beat\nof debate be should draw his sword\nand Injure or be Injured. The swords\nhave gone ages npn, and the violence\nof that mediaeval debute, but the red\ncarpet and the rule without reason remains.\"\nWest Kootenay Butcher Co.\nALL KINDS Or\nFresh and Salted Heats\nWHOLESALE AND RETAIL\nFisn and Poultry in Season\n\u00a3.
