Yesterday the threshers were busy west of\nMorden threshing from stook to stack.\nTlie grain dries out easily this year\narter rain, owing to the freedom of the\nstraw from weeds. He also found the\nfarmers are stacking as much as pus-\nBible, and that after they have done a\nsulllcient amount of this kind of work\nthe syndicates will thresh a couple of\ndnys on each farm tn order to close up\nthe grain in stook, and in this way thev\nwill insure all their grain.\nMost of the wheat is already stacked\nand also a quantity of oats. Hugh\nMcKellar thinks that the tlm'e spent in\nstacking operations has effected the\ndelivery to some extent and is probably\na contributory reason to their being so\nlight up to the present. By the end of\nthis week nnd next week if the weather\ncontinues fair, he expects that the\nthreshing outfits will realise their\nhighest outputs.\nRegarding the yield, he says that he\nfound wheat went from 25 to 36, and\nIn some cases 45 bushels to the acre.\nAs to the average yield throughout the\nprovince Mr. McKellar said that he\nwould not care to give au estimate, hut\nhe had talked to a great many famvers\nanil they all agreed that this year's crop\nwould prove to he the best they have\never had, both in wheat, oats and other\ncrain.\nMAJOR POWELL DEAD.\nHeld th'e Foremost Place Among the\nWorld's Geologists.\nHaven, Maine, Sept. 23.\u2014Major J.\nW.

Their German\nbranch has been in operation for live\nmonths, and It always sells at prices below tho offers made by the old companies.\nForty match manufacturers, representing\nthe entire match Industry of Germany met\nhere Sunduy and Monday of this week and\ndebated the situation.\nThough ninety por cent, of the shares\nof the Germany branch of the Diamond\nMatch company are held In the United\nStates, the German branch ts officered by\nGermans, and J.

The Associated Press is\nable to say that Britain's backing up of\nthe United States in the Roumanian\nmatter has only produced evidence that\nthe signatories of the Berlin treaty\nrefuse to take other than merely sentimental action towards alleviating the\npersecution of the Jews. The exchange\nof views regarding the American note,\nsolicited by Britain, has progressed\nsufficiently to convince the foreign\noffice here that nothing material is\nlikely to result.\nJoseph H. Choate, the United States\nambassador to Great Britain, has broken up his holiday in Scotland, and\nreturned to London today. He Is likely\nto spend the next few days in dealing\nwith th'e Roumanian matter. The hopelessness prevalent by the British foreign office of affecting a change of heart\non the part of the Roumanian government will not be allowed, however, to\ninterfere with the external course of the\nnegotiations.\nCologne, Sept. 23.\u2014Th'e Koelnische\nZeltung, which is frequently inspired\nfrom Berlin, refers today to secretary\nHay's Roumanian note, and says:\n\"However pitiable the position of th'e\nJews in Roumania may be, individual\nstates must ask themselves whether an\naffair which concerns foreign subjects\nJustifies th'em In imposing their jurisdiction upon the subjects. Great Britain and the United States must make\nit clear how they conceive the whole\nbusiness Is to he managed. Germany\nby itself, is in no way concerned in the\nquestion. The fact that the treaty of\nBerlin was signed in Berlin, does not\nimpose the obligation of defending It\nupon Germany any more than upon the\nother sgnatorles. It follows that we by\nno means feel called upon to play the\nleading role, the more so as we are\nunder no illusion as to the difficulty of\nthe enterprise. Roumania would have\ndone better to frame her Jewish legislation otherwise than she has. The\nmeasures taken by Roumania are hopeless. Wh'en she recogniezs the fact, she\nwill perhaps modify her legislation in\nso much as it Is very much to her ln-\nteret that the Jewish question disappear from the order of the day.\"\nTRAINMEN TAKE A HAND.\nThey Discuss the Strike of the Anthracite Mfn'ers.\nWilkesbarre, Pennsylvania, Sept. 23 \u2014\nThe Brotherhood of Trailmen employed\non all railroads centering in Wilkesbarre held a secret meeting at Kingston yesterday.

It is understood\nthere was a lengthy discussion over the\nmatter. The only information that\nwould be given out, however, was that\na resolution had been adopted requesting the secretary of each local division\nto write a letter to grand master Morrlssey requesting him to come liere at\nonce. Morrissey was in th'e strike\nregion some time ago and looked over\nthe situation.

Clark will enter into competition\nwith Henry E. Huntington in inter-\nurban railroading about Los Angeles,\nsays the Herald. When the Montana\nstatesman relinquished his option on\nthe properties of the Los Angeles traction company, It was thought that bis\nthreat to enter the electric railway\nfield here would not bo carried into\nexecution. It was settled some time\nago that the Clark road to Pasadena\nwould be electricized or made of double\nmotive power, the scheme being to run\nboth electric and steam trains over the\nline. Arrangements are now being\nmade to double track the road from Los\nAngeles to Long Beach, one track to be\nfor electric cars and the other, as at\npresent, to remain a steam railroad.\nFrom Long Beach to San Pedro there\nwill be no change. How far this\nscheme of combining the two systems\nof railroading will bo carried by the\nClark people no one of the officials of\ntbe company would say.

It was\nabout 2.30 o'clock, half an hour after\nthe time that had been officially set\nfor the president to leave the city, thnt\na few of the favored ones in the crowd\nreceived intimations that the president\nwas sick, and that the rest of the trip\npossibly would be abandoned.\nThe transfer of thte president to the\nhospital was executed without the\nthousands on the streets having the\nleast notion of what was transpiring.\nThe first public knowledge of the true\nstate of affairs, came in the form of a\nbulletin which was issued by secretnry\nCortelyou, after the president first\nentered the operating room and sat\ndown and waited instructions from the\nphysicians- watching their preparations with keen interest.\nThe president was required to bare\nthe leg only, and as he lay down on the\noperating table he remarked with a\nsmile as he looked at the operating\ngloves worn by the surgeons: \"Gentlemen, I see you have your gloves on.\"\n\"Mr. President,\" said a surgeon, with\na smile, \"It Is always In order to wear\ngloves at a presidential reception.\"\nThe operations were begun without\ndelay.

The rebels at that time were\nreported lo bo massed near the railroad\nbetween Colon und Panama, and the government was sending troops, accrodlng to\nthese reports, from Funama to Agua\nDulce, to cut off the rebels retreat, should\nthey be beaten on the Isthmus. The main\nrebel army under general Herrera, was\nreported Saturday and Sunday to be within seven miles of Colon. Officers of the\nAntilan said the business at Colon had\nbeen suspended, that the privations there\nwero very great. The government soldiers\nat Colon are mainly youths, and aro\napparently unable to stand tho hardships\nof a campaign.\nTho decreet preventing liberals from appearing on the streets Is being strictly\nenforced at Colon. Enormous prices aro\nbeing charged for food stuffs, according to\nreports brought by tho Antilan, and a\nnumber of prominent people of Panama\nhave been Imprisoned because they sympathized with the rebel movement.\nWHY NEW PARTIES FAIL\nTHEY ARE ALL TOO NARROW TO\nSUCCEED.\nTHE MEMBERS ARE FIRED WITH\nSINGLE IDEA.\nAfter a lapse of a few years in which\nno uttempt has been madu to found u\nnew political purty, two Chicago men have\nseized upon tho psychological moment and\nhave begun a movement to establish another national political party. The leaders\nof the movement aro William T. Dunne,\nformer president of the Chicago Federation of Labor, and James H. Payne, president uf thu Chicago Boxworkur's union.\nAssociated with them are several other\nprominent leaders lu the world of labor,\nand, though no name hns yet been assigned to the new party, It is probublo that\nthe labor party\" would be, a safe appela-\ntion. Tho movement Is said to be mooting\nwilh considerable success und Is being\ntaken up ropldly by the labor organizations.\nBut the new party will lack tho sunn\u00bb\nelements of success that all other class\nparties have lacked. Their weakness lies\nIn their oneness of purpose, their narrowness. The prohibition party, lhe farmers'\nalliance and Coxy's army In the United\nSlates are examples of this principle.\nThe prohibition party hns as Its main\ntheme the stopping of the lfu,uor traffic.\nBecause of the limited scope such n party\nnecessarily has, it canot succeed, try\nthough its members may with all tho\nearnestness and the skill of the world.\nThe farmers' alliance was devoted to tho\nfarmers' welfare and Coxy's army to\nthat of tho unemployed. Because the scope\nof these parties wus limited and because\nthey appealed to but one class they fulled.\nIt will no doubt bo the same with the new\nlabor pnrty. It Is being founded, not for\ntho welfare nnd uplifting of the classes,\nbut for that of one. Its promoters am\nspecialists, men of one idea. Instead of\nchoosing lenders from different fields of\naction, Payne and Dunne represent the\nsame, tho laboring clnss. They havo\nstudied the same problems, have arrived\nat the samo conclusions; their judgment\nnf things is from tho same point of view.\nIn other words, the party will fall because It Is narrow. There will probably\nbe advocates of tho one-Idea parly to tho\nend of time. The prohibition party, mainly\nfrom force of habit nnd loyalty to its\nprinciples, places a ticket In the field each\nyenr. Its one idea probably appeals to\nas many Individuals ns would nny ono\nIdea taken from the principles of the republican or democratic party. But a\nfaction which seeks the gratifying of but\none Idea nnd the uplifting and benefiting of\nhut one class will always bo Ineffectual.\nGENERAL MATOS INTERVIEWED\nWUlomstad, Island of Curacao, Sept. 23.\n\u25a0A correspondent of the Associated Press\nlias had an Interview at Alta Gurcia, In\nthe state of Zulia, Venezuela, with general\n.Manuel A.

J. Frank\nCollom, the manager of the Arlington\nproperties, appears to bo very confident\nof the success of th'e experiment he has\ndecided upon, and it is very much to be\nhoped that results will show his confidence tt have been well founded.\nAlthough there is no disposition to\npick a quarrel with tho smelting concerns of the district, it must be conceded that the freight and treatment\ncharges on much of he ores available\nin the Slocan Lake division rob them\nof all commercial value to the owners, and as a result there is but one\nminer at work, where under cheaper\nmethods for extracting values there\nwould probably be twenty. Mr. Collom is of the opinion thut by the process with which he proposes to experiment it will be possible to prepare for\nthe refinery the Arlington ores at a cost\nof $2.50 per ton. When It is remem-\nberod that under the present system\nfollowed at tbe Arlington it costs ?3\nper ton for tho hauling of the oro from\nthe mine to the shipping point, it will\nbo readily understood the great saving\na successful demonstration of the new\nprocess would mean to tbe Arlington\nowners. Great as this would be, bow-\never, it would bo as nothing compared\nto th'e application of tbe process to the\nother low grade ores of tho camp, of\nwhich there is said to be an almost unlimited quantity, and much of which Is\nknown to have tbe same characteristics\nas that' from the Arlington veins, It\nwould give not only a profit margin, but\na high commercial value, to ores which\nat present aro considered as worthless,\nand would make the Slocan Lake section\ntho busiest mining centre in America.\nIt may be too 'early as yet to indulge\nin speculations as to the outcome of\nthe experiments which Mr. Collom purposes making, but it must be borne In\nmind that on all sides economies In the\ntreating of ores Is receiving attention,\nand it is not too much to expect that\nout of the great varley of experiments\nwhich are being mad'e important economics will come in tlio methods of extracting values, and that mining sections which, in view of existing heavy\ncosts, are comparatively stagnated at\npresent, will take on renewed activity.\nAnd gains of this kind are of much\ngreater worth to tho mining Industry\nthan aro those of tho artificial character which may be expected through\nthe medium of tariff changes.\nTHE PRACTICE Oh1 DUELLING.\nDuelling went out of fashion in Great\nBritain many years ago, but tlie practice still lingers in the other parts of\nEurope. In France It is not so much a\npractice as a farce, and the ridicule\nthat has been showered upon French\nduellists has done much towards ren\ndering it less popular than once was the\ncase, when the code of honor demanded that insult could only be wiped out\nby the shedding of blood,\nThere now seems to be a disposition\non tho part of the Italian army authorities to stamp out duelling among officers. A recent occurrence shows how\nthey aro setting about the task. A duel\nwas fought a few days ago between\ntwo officers and wheu this came to the\nears of tho authorities one of the participants was expelled from the army,\nand the other Imprisoned in a fortress,\nbut they did not rest content with punishing the principals; the colonel of\nthe regiment was suspended, the lieutenant-colonel and two majors were\nimprisoned for short periods, and four\ncaptains who acted as seconds were\nsent to a fortress for six months. With\na little persistence along the same lines\nduelling will soon cease to be in the\nItalian army. How very different\nthough are tho condltons obtaining in\ntho German army and in the universities. The crime of murder by duelling\nis not only encouraged, but Its performance is insisted upon. It Is not so\nmany years ago that a German officer\nwbo was about to marry was compelled\nby the military court of honor to fight\nwith a fellow officer; the code of honor\ndemanded It; to fall was to be branded\na coward. The unfortunate man succumbed to the pressure of the court,\nfought, and was killed. What happened? The murderer was sent to prison\nunder a two years' sentence, but after\nonly serving seven months of his term\nthe kaiser has set him at liberty and he\nwas received and feted with acclaim by\nhis old comrades. The crime caus'ed\nintense Indignation at the time of its\noccurrence, and it was owing to the\nmanfestations of popular feeling that\nthe inadequate punishment of two\nyears' Imprisonment was meted out to\nthe assassin. Now the people have\nforgotten it, or at least, their indignation become less acutely marked, and\nthe emperor by exerciBe of his prerogative has set him free, thus condoning the offence and setting a premium\nupon assassination.\nThe wisdom of the Italians in determining to put an end to tho practice\nwill be conceded by all and tt is to be\nhoped that the headstrong German\nmonarch will see the folly of his ways\nand follow the example of his Italian\nallies. The practice Is a pernicious\none, and Is as damaging to the morale\nof an army as the encouragement of\nbullying would be in a school.\nTho Toronto Sun has essayed to comment on British Columbia politics, but\nhas only succeeded in displaying its\nprofound ignorance of the subject.\n\"British Columbia,\" says the Sun,\n\"affords a lively example of the failure of the party system as a means of\nexpressing public sentiment through\nan elected legislature.\" This completely disproves the tlmeworn saying\nof the wls'e man \"There Is nothing new\nunder the Sun,\" for this is'new Indeed\nto British Columbia. We have never\nhad the party system in provincial politics, and consequently It has never\nfailed. The fact is It fs only of very\nrecent years that party lines were\ndrawn in British Columbia, even in the\nheat of federal elections. The party\nline system in the local elections for\nthe dominion house was a thing unknown to either candidates or electors\nin the 'earlier days before tho Improved\ntransportation facilities resulted in\nthousands of younger men, with the\nlust of political battle tn their veins,\ncoming into the province and bringing\nwth them all the party traditions and\naspirations. It was a case, before this\ninflux, of tbe ins and outs, and the\ncandidates posed as liberal or conservative to suit tho preponderance of\npower in tho house. But a change has\nbeen made in this, and a candidate\nmust stick to his colors throughout tbe\nflght, win or lose; and even as this\nchange was brought about so is the\nother change in provincial politics, tha\nadoption of party lines, on the eve of\naccomplishment.\nH.&M.

Moro recently, however,\nselonce has discovered that thought Is\nforce; that It can bo sent from brain to\nbrain through spaco, by means of telepathy, and that It can effect a passive\nmind for good or ill. This is not theory.\n1 luivo mysolt demonstrated It a thousand\nlimes. There's nothing mysterious ubout\nthe power of thought\u2014somo aspects of\nwhich used to be called witchcraft\u2014excepting what Ignorance renders mysterious. So the power of the \"evil eye\" of\ntho middle ages wns a fnct, not a superstition. Wo understand It today under\ntho name of hypnotism or suggestion;\nand, onco understood, nil ignorant fear\nof It disappears. So long as fenr of the\nmysterious power of tho \"evil eye\" or of\ngunpowder dominates men and keeps them\nfrom studying Its properties, Just so long\nwill tho \"evil eye\" or gunpowder or any\noilier force of nature make abject slaves\nof them and Injure them.\nTho fool turns and runs nway from the\nmysterious thing, thus putting Into It,\nby his very fear, all the power It really\npossesses to hurt him. The wise man\nnccepts every mystery as a challenge out\nof tho dark, walks up to It, turns the\nsearchlight of his Intelligence on it, and\nsees it dwindle and shrink, nnd then like\na whipped spaniel come forward finally\nwith its tail between Its legs, ready to\nlick his hand and servo him.\nSolving a mystery never hurt nny well-\nbalanced mind. Fear of mysteries hurts\nevery mind that entertains the fenr.\nIt Is still a great mystery to materialistic science how the Zulu, the Hindoo and\nthe Esquimaux cnn send news GOO miles\nover wild tracts of country almost simultaneously. But to those who have\nsolved the \"mystery\" of thought transference It Is simple enough.\nThe mysteries of \"gliosis,\" of tho soul\nand of the future lifo kept humanity\nshuddering until the ancient mystics nn?\nthe modern Thoosophlsts, Spiritists and\nPseyhlo Research scientists set out to\nsolve them. Many \"scientists,\" still bowing down before their fetish of tho \"phy-\nslcal basis of life,\" and refusing to Investigate super-normnl phenomena by the\nonly true scientific method\u2014thnt of personal experiment\u2014still effect to believe thnt\ntheso \"ghosts\" and soul questions are\nunsolvable mysteries.\nTho true scientists does not limit himself. His mental windows are forever\nopen at the top.\nLightning was mysterious nnd deadly\nuntil Franklin and Morse nnd Edison\nharnessed It. Wireless telegraphy 10\nyears ago wns n mystory to all of us.\nThe suggestion that a great mass of Iron\ncould float and curry a heavy burden In\naddition to Its own weight wus uproariously laughed down at first; but the\nmystery of displacement was solved by\nsomo man who refused to be laughed\ndown; and the great iron ship Is the\nresult.\nThe mystory of creation is being solved,\nalthough the atomic theory Is not the\nlast word on the subject. Tho mystery\neven of what God Is seems in a fair way\nto be solved, as fast as each man solves\nthe mystery of his own being.\nThe mystory of the sixth sense is bolng\nunravelled. The mystery of the origin or\nlife is In a fair way of being solved. Tho\ngreatest mystery of alt to most men\u2014tho\nmystery of deatli\u2014is now no longer n\nmystery to myriads of investigators.\nIt Is nonsensical to Ignore and reject\ntho mysterious 011 the plea that Its solution Is Impossible as It Is to hug It and\nstiporstltlously reverence It.

J. Smith, manager for the Pacific\ncoast of the Connecticut fire insurance\ncompany, leaves this morning for the\nsouth. This Is Mr. Smith's second visit\nto Nelson, the last one being paid five\nyears ago, when the company decided\nnot to take risks, not liking the look\nof the town. Mr. Smith was more than\nsurprised at the changes that had taken\nplace since, and considers Nelson now\nas being by far the best built city of the\ninterior.\nA rath'er peculiar incident in the way\nof grouse hunting occurred on Carbonate street last Sunday afternoon, which\nis vouched for by unimpeachable authority. A well known professional man\nwas sitting on his verandah on that\nstreet in company with his wife and a\nlady friend when a handsome grouse\ncame flying down over the verandah\nand lighted on tho lawn. The owner\nof the house went in and got his shotgun'and when he came back the bird\nwas perched on a small tree. He fired\nand killed it\nJ. E. Annable, manager of the Nelson opera house, left this morning with\nTh'e Wise Member company on a tour\nof the Boundary towns. The members\nof the company put up the best entertainment that has heen given to the\ntheatregoers of Nelson this season, and\nmanager Annable should do well on his\nventure. That he Bhould be willing to\nplay the company through the Boundary towns on a guarantee is In Itself\nrather good evidence of his own appreciation of the ability of the members of\nthe company.\nThe shrinkage of the creeks from the\nlong dry spell is occasioning much\nanxi'ety to the management of a number\nof the mines. During the past five\nyears, without exception, the middle of\nSeptember has marked the turning\npoint as regards the supply of waiar\nin the smaller streams, which have\ncontinued to dry up till between the\n10th and 20th of the month. This year\nthe water has decreased more rapidly\nthnn ever during the past few days,\nand as the equinoctial gales passed\nwithout bringing more than a light\nshower or two, It Is thought likely that\nthe dry spell may continue for some\nweeks yet, which would necessitate several of the mines closing down for a\ntime.\nTho lacr'osse club are endeavoring\nto have the afternoon on which the\nShamrock lacrosse team will play Nelson declared a civic half holiday, so\nthat all may have an opportunity to\ntako In the game. The local team Is\npractising every afternoon from 4 till\n0, and will keep steadily at it till the\nday of the match. Visitors from all\npnrts of the Kootenays are expected to\nthe city to witness the game, which\nwill bo the most Important one played\nin the district. A banquet to the visiting team In th'e evening is being talked\nof, and wll prohably he arranged. The\nmeBBage containing the acceptance of\nthe challenge stated that ail further\narrangements as to the day and other\nmatters would be made by the New\nWestminster representative of th.\nShamrocks, but so far no word has\nbeen received from him.\nA special meeting of the city council\nwill be held this evening, to transact\nthe business that was to have come up\nat tho last regular meeting.\nT. G. Procter and A. E. C. Buchanan left yesterday for Grey creek, in the\nCrawford Bay district, to look over the\ngroup of Iron properties which a local\nsyndicate, of which they are members,\nhas acquired in the new copper ramp.\nA report was received in Nelson last\nevening to the effect that a party of\nlocal sportsmen had exterminated all\nthe game in the vicinity of Kootenay\nFlats. One party composed of A. V.\nMason, Fred. Elwell and Frank Pullen,\nwho spent a few days shooting over\nthe flats, returned last evening. They\nconfirm the story in so far as the scarcity of game is concerned, but will not\nadmit that they contributed in any way\nto bringing the scarcity about. Two\nmembers of the party say they did not\nsee anything to shoot during the entire\ntime they were out, and the other\nmember says the two would not have\nbeen able to hit anything had they seen\nit\nH. I. Klrkwood was in Nelson yesterday. He says the outlook for the Slocan lake district Is fairly good. There\nare none of th'e properties crowding\noperations but there are several working along with crews of various sizes,\nand on tbe whole matters have very\nmuch Improved since the spring. There\nis a great deal of speculation in the\ncamp respecting the new systems of\nconcentration which are being talked of.\nFor one of theBe It Is claimed that it\nwill render profitable the working of\nsilver ores which do not exceed 10\nounces, and If this Is demonstrated on,\na practical scale there will be a great\nrevival of activity throughout the camp\nas there are large bodies of ore of this\ngrade which under present condltons It\nIs found impossible to do anything with.\nThe prospect ot securing a market for\nthe zinc ores of the camp has also Improved matters somewhat\nWILL TRY A NEW SYSTEM\nARLINGTON MINES WILL MAKE AN\nEXPERIMENT.\nOBJECT IS TO AVOID SMELTER\nTREATMENT CHARGES.\nJ. Frank Collom, of the Arlington mine,\nwns in tho city yesterday on his return\nfrom tho mine, leaving this morning for\nSan Francisco. When asked hy a reporter\nof The Daily News regarding the practicability of the new process which is being considered for use in treating the dry\nores of the Arlington, Mr. Collom said he\nbelieved the process would prove entirely\nsatisfactory, although it was very early\nto make any definite pronouncement regarding it. Tho process, which Is known\nus tho Pellatln-Clorlssey, was one of the\nearliest known for treatment of dry ores,\nbut was only used In a laboratory, and\nnot being found satisfactory at the time\nof Its discovery the patent was allowed to\nlapse. Since then the cyanide and electrical treatments, of which It Is a combination, have been so greatly improved that\nthe system is revolutionized. Ahout a year\nago a property with very similar ores to\nthat of the Arlington was purchased by\nDr. Hendryx, at Prescott, Arizona. This\nproperty had been left unworked as It had\nbeen found Impossible to treat the ores\nat a profit Prof. Parks, who was familiar\nwith the process mentioned, believed that\nIt would bo found possible by means of It\nto successfully treat tho Arizona mine,\nand under his supervision It was installed\nand run for two months, and has since\nbeen carried on under other management\nwith gratifying success.\nThe Idea of the system Is to take a dry\nore and put it through a stamp mill,\ncreating all the slimes possible. This is\nrun ovor a Wilfly table. Then taking one\nton of the concentrates to twenty tons of\nthe slimes the whole Is placed in vats, with\na weak cyanide solution. Amalgamating\nplates are placed at the bottom. With a\nnegative pole at the bottom and a positive\npole In paddles to stir the mixture up,\nthe gold, silver and a littlo copper and\nlead are precipitated. That product Is then\nretorted at the mine Into base bullion nnd\nIs rendy for shipment to a refinery direct\nthus doing away with shipping nnd smelting charges. In the year lhat tho system\nhas been In use at Prescott 94 per cent, of\nthe values have been saved In the ores\ntreated. Prof. Porks, who reports that he\nbelieves the system is suited to the Slocan\nores, is thoroughly conversant with both\nthe ores and the conditions prevailing In\nthe Slocan, having been closely Identified\nwith mining there since Its Inception.\nIt Is the Intention of the management to\nsend a car load of ore from the Arlington\nto Prescott to have It treated by tho mill\nthere, and If the result is as expected nn\nexperimental plant will be erected at the\nArlington. What It moans to tho Slocan,\nif practicable, Is a revolution In the mining\nsystem. At present practically nothing\nunder thirty ounce ore can be treated. The\ncost of hauling the oro In wngons from the\nArlington alone amounts to $3 per ton nnd\nwhen the freight and treatment charges\nare added it makes It necossnry that the\nhigh grade oro of tho mines bo shipped.\nAt the smelter they aro given eighty per\ncent, of the lead and ninety-Ave per cent,\nof the silver values. There aro a largo\nnumber of properties through tho Slornn\nwith small leads of ore high enough In\nvaluo to treat, but to get nt It is expensive. Everywhere there nre Inrge loads\nof low grado dry ores, nnd if this system\ncan bo successfully nppllod, costing as It\ndoes only $2.50 per ton, an immense saving Inevory department of tho handling\nof the oro would be mnde. This would\nmake posslblo tho working of n large numbor nf properties thnt under the present\nsystem could never be handled.\nAs mentioned before, the system when\nArst discovered wns not prncllenhle, ns nt\nthnt timo neither the cyanide or the electrical process hnd passed the crude stage,\nand tho whole secret lies in the efficiency\nof these elements. Tho Arlington Is extremely well situated for handling a proposition of this kind ns there Is ample\npower at hand which enn he used to operate the mill and furnish electrical energy\nfor the process Itself.\nSKAGWAY BANK ROBBERY\nSHOT FROM REVOLVER SET OFF\nTHE DYNAMITE.\nGAVE THE INTENDING ROBBER A\nHORRIBLE DEATH.\nSeattle, Sept. 23,\u2014Full particulars of the\ndynamiting uf the Canadian Bunk of\nCommerce at Skagway un tlio afternoon\nof Monday .September 16th, wero brought\nfrom tho north ou the steamer Humboldt,\nwhich arrived this morning. But up to the\ntimo the Humbolt .sailed on tho 17th all\nefforts lo unravel thu mystory of thu\ndynamiters hud fulled signally,\nTho dynamiter died of the Injuries he\nreceived In the explosion which lie\nbrought ahout, and his remains were\nmangled and blackened lu a horrible\nmanner. The police Immediately rounded\nup a number of men who wero alleged to\nhavo been seen with the dynamiter immediately prior to tho deed, but they all\ndeny that .they even know the man. Tho\nmen arrested wero F. Crowley, Ed. Dunn,\nH. Lemke, A. Costner, P. Mason and G.\nS. RobStad, They all claim lo bo cannery-\nmen and have demanded jury trials.\nThe crime was committed about 3 o'clock\nIn tho afternoon. At that hour the strutig-\ner entered the hank and demanded $20,000,\nunder threat to blow up the placo with\ndynamite unless his demands were compiled With. Mr, Wallace and Mr. Pooley,\ntwo of tlie bank's clerks, refused the demand aud made a break for a place of\nsafety. As they did so tho dynamite which\ntho would-be robber held in his hand wns\nexploded, completely wrecking tho building.\nTho coroner's jury found that the explosion of dynamite was not intentional on\nthe part of the robber, but was caused by\nthe concussion of the revelvor shot which\ntho robber fired at ono of the employees\nof the bank.\nThe victim of the rash net was found by\nthose who were first on the scene, among\nwhom were J. F. Dillon and J. M. Tanner,\nlying on his face, fully ten feet from where\nho was standing at tho timo of tho explosion. He was torn, lacerated and\nburned, nnd was a horrible sight to behold. His clothes hnd beon all but blown\noff him. Both eyes were blown nway nnd\nonly bloody sockets were in their place.\nIlls noso wns broken and bleeding nnd\ntho right hnnd was torn In pieces. The\nthumb wns blown completely away and the\nends of the Index nnd middle finger had\noitly ragged slubhs left.\nThe whole body was burned nnd blnck-\nened nnd presented a horrifying appearance.
