Whether this fact of registration will be placed by the company in support of its claim that execution was complete, remains to be discovered.\nShaughnessy having advised the committee that owing to delays\non tlie line he could not arrive this evening, his evidence and that of\nother high officials of the C. P. R. will bo taken tomorrow, their\ncross-examination by Duff and McCaul promising to bo exceptionally\nvigorous.\nThere now remains no chance of tlie evidence being completed\nand tlie report prepared by Wednesday, and tlie chairman so advised\nthe premier today.\nWhen the legislature reassembles on Wednesday it will be to\n{further adjourn over Victoria Day, until Tuesday, the 26th.\nIn completing bis cross-examination this morning, MoPhillips\nelicited from Eberts the information that the refusal of prospecting\nlicenses in block 4,594 had been based on the necessity of first of all\ndetermining title to the disputed area. Eberts declared he had\nalways favored intervention and a test of the title in the courts.\nHad his advice been accepted the government would have intervened in behalf of lingers as against the 0. P. R., in which event\ntho non-delivery of tho grants would undoubtedly hnve been alleged\nas a strong point in tho caso. Witness also held that the claim that\nunder direction of statute it was not valid for tlio government to\nhave granted these particular lands, might properly be raised in\nRogers' behalf, regardless of the fact that he, as attorney-general,\nhad given tho opinion, as had Gordon Hunter, that tho power was\nvested in tlie government if it snw fit to exercise it.\nWitness distinctly denied that he had ever said to Wells:\n\"Then lot us go,\" in reply to tho assertion by Wells that if these\ngrants wero completed, thc \"government would have to go.\"\nHe had at the time been using his most active efforts to hold\nthe government together. Had intervention been decided upon as\nhe had advised, the instruction to counsel would have been to defend Rogers in his rights on every point that could be reached, and\nto every extent.\nAs to the suggested \"moral obligation\" of the government to\nsubstitute lands of some value for valueless lands   coming within\nthe railway's reserve, advanced by Wells, Eberts declared he could\nfind no instruction in the statute to justify such a stand.  He denied\nthat ho had contended at Saanich on thc hustings that tho railway was in reality getting nothing as the   lands   were valueless.\nWhat he had said was that the company hud offered to accept four\nthousand dollars per mile in lieu of 20,000 acres, showing that the\ncompany placed no higher value than 20 cents an acre upon their\nsubsidy.   He did not suggest that if bill No. 87 of last session had\npassed tlie company would bo willing to give up any   lands that\nmight bo acquired nl Ike 20 cents per acre rate.   He declined to\nstato whoso evidence lie regarded as more worthy of credence, that\n2 of Brown or Wells.   He also objected   to  an interrogation as to\nI whether or not he had dono his duty in not advising tho legislature\nJ whon bill No. 10 was before tho house, inasmuch as he had admitted\n| that he regarded this bill as unjust in depriving tho company of\n| an appeal to the courts for vindication of their alleged rights.\nThe goneral trend of Holmeken's cross - examination, which\nbegan at 11.30, was to show that no more important transaction had\never been treated by Eberts officially than this C. & W. matter,\nand that he (Eberts) was always favorably inclined towards the\nrailway company's position while in the Turner government. The\nexamination was further directed to show that on the accession to\npower of the Dunsmuir government, of which Eberts was a member, in 1900, the settlement of the B. C. Southern railway matters\nout of which the Columbia & Western case subsequently arose,\nwas first of all taken up and Eberts was, in a sense, simply carrying out the favorable leaning that had previously been shown to the\nC. P. R., which had been continually pressing for possession of the\nlands now known as blocks 4,593 and 4,594..\nIn reply to Helmcken Eberts denied any knowledge of bill\n113, or reasons for its withdrawal in the session of 1901, ended\nMay 11th, and it was a fact that on tho 19th of May of that year\nDunsmuir wrote Brown, promising reinstating legislation at the\nnext session.\nAlthough shown tho original letter in this connection, witness\ncould not recall the circumstances under which the letter was\nwritten, nor had he any recollection of executive meetings of 30th\nor 31st July or 2nd August.\nHo attributed Dunsmuir's willingness to leave thc settlement\nof tho matter to others, to his (Dunsmuir's) anxiety to get away on\nhis Alaska trip.\nThe saving of acreage was the only argument ever adduced in\nsupport of the transfer of 10th of August. The relative value of\ntho lands was not considered. Tho matter of the legality of the\naction had received his \"most careful consideration,\" and he had\ncomo to the conclusion that the lands in question could be given on\naccount of its fourth section. Ho remembered the oxecutive meeting on September 3rd, when a draft of the formal \u00abi\u00bbwn grant to\ntho Columbia & Western was produced by Wells and agreed upon.\nWitness had only looked at it to seo that it contained exceptions re\nroyalties on coal and petroleum. He knew of no further executive\nmooting until the meeting with Wells upon his return from Montreal. He had never heard it suggested, directly or indirectly, that\nWells should hold off the crown grants until tho company gavo assurances as to building from Midway to Spence's Bridge.\nIt was 5.30 p. m. when Holmeken's unusually incisive cross-examination was brought to an end by an unexpected difficulty.\nHe had asked Eberts to show how he could reconcile his action in\nintroducing legislation in 1901 to deprive tho Kaslo & Slocan rail-\n\u00bb\u2666\u2666+\u2666\u2666\u2666\u00bb.\u00bb\u2666\u2666\u00bb\u25a0\u00bb\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u00ab\u25ba\u00ab e >,,.,.\u00ab.,, .***. \u2666\u2666\nway from testing; Its righto In tbe courts\nwith hts action in condemning bill No. 16\nof this session as unjust and urging intervention. \"Why should one course be\nfair when one company is concerned, and\nthe reverse when It Is the C.

E. Wilson representing\nthe crown, announced that he was ready\nto proceed. No counsel appearing to defend Willis, The court Instructed the\nregistrar to. If possible, obtain counsel for\nthe accused and adjourned the court until\n2 o'clock.\nWhen the court reassembled In the afternoon the court room was densely crowded\nand the Inadequate provision provided by\nthe existing building was painfully evident. There were over a hundred Chinamen present some of them as witnesses\nIn the Trail murder case in which two of\ntheir countrymen figure andi tne rest as\nInterested spectators. The little room allotted* to barristers was filled with counsel waiting their turn and the balance of\nthe witnesses and jurymen had to mingle\nwith the crowd In the bock of the court\nroom and remain patiently standing dur-\nnig the subsequent proceedings, there being no sitting accommodation of any kind\nfor them.\nThe court ordered the sheriff to clear the\nfront part of the room entirely save for\nthe jury called In the first case and the\ncounsel at tho barristers' table.\nThe case of the king against Walter Willis, of Rossland, was then commenced, the\naccused defending himself, no counsel for\nhim being obtainable. The charge against\nthe prisoner is that on November 3rd, he-\nattempted to kill Robert Adams by shooting htm, in the International hotel at\nRossland, and that hie inflicted grevious\nbodily harm to Adams.\nWillis has Improved In appearance during his lengthy sojourn In the Nelson Jail\nsince last fall but he still looks frail and\nfar from well. His cross-examination of\nthe crown witnesses, which disclosed his\nprobable Una of defence, was conducted\ncleverly and quietly enough but some of\nhis questions occasioned somo amusement\namongst the spectators who were promptly\ncalled to order by the sheriff.\nThe jury selected were as follows, thtere\nbeing no challenges by either crown or defence: B. B. Smith, R. Helme, J, L. Stamford, C. W. Sllpp; J. Toye, J. L. Porter,\nH R. Stovel, J. K. Strachan, T. J. Scanlan, J. O. Patenaude, Thomas Morley, and\nG. C. Hodge. The Jury agreed upon Mr.\nHodge as their foreman1.\nRobert Adams, the first witness, testified that about two o'clock In the morning of November 3rd he was dealing a faro\ngame at the International rooms in Rossland and thfc accused was one of the players. A dispute had arisen over some of\nthe play checks and the prisoner left the\nroom for a short time. On his return he\nstood about for a few minutes and then\nyelled to the crowd standing about to \"get\"\nand at once shot at witness, the bullet\nstriking him on the right breast. He at\nonce rushed from the room but wan unablo\nto go very far nnd was subsequently looked\nafter by his friends who summoned a doctor.\nThe prisoner left the dock and taking\nthte plan of the room put in by the crown,\nshowing the position of tho parties at the\ntime of the shooting cross-examined the\nwitness at length-, as to what had happened. The witness admitted the cause of the\ndispute. There were two \"dead\" cards on\nthe table with eight chips next to them-\ntho prisoner had olalmed these, They\nwore worth 12 1-2 cents each. The prisoner had claimed them but tie, the witness\nbad tho option of taking them. This dispute was what caused the shooting.\nThomns Holland told practically the\nsomo story of the snooting as the previous witness. He saw the prisoner flre\nthe shot. Afier the snooting prisoner had\nsnld to witness: \"I'll kill you if you come\nnear me; you go!\" and, added the witness,\nVI got out of the way at once.\"\nW. L. Coulthard, M. D., of Rossland,\ntestified to the injuries Inflicted and Identified the bullet, which ha had extracted.\nIt had penetrated the chest below the left\nnipple and hod cut through the lung and\nkidney and lodged In the back. The prisoner asked the doctor many questions\nto prove tbat gun shot wounds on the right\nside were not usually deadly.\nJohh Thatcher, Who said! he made his\nliving by gambling, testified that he was\npresent at the shooting, his account did\nnot differ from the ones already given, but\nhe cordially agreed with the prisoner,\n\u2022that by the rule of the game In the west,\nthe stakes on \"dead\" cards, or \"sleepers\"\ninvariably belonged to who ever first took\nthem up.\nCharles Heavener, police constable, swore\nthat prisoner' hod said when arrested that\n\"he had stood1 Adams' ways as long as he\ncould.\"\nJoseph Leamy Identified a letter written\nby Willis while In the Nelson jail, to the\nchief of the Rossland police stating\nwhere1 he had hid the revolver and F.\nWilson, who found the gun, In the place\ndescribed, identified the gun tn court.. This\nclosed the case for the crown.\nThe court informed the prisoner that\nhe could give sworn evidence on his own\nbehalf or could make a statement to the\njury. If he didn't do so It would not be\nallowed to tell against him.\nThe witness asked for two witnesses to\nbe produced as to character, and at 4.15\nthe court was adjourned until 10.30 this\nmorning to have thtese witnesses in attendance.\nIn Rex vs. Moodle and Jagger, the grand\nJury returned a true bill for theft, and the\nforeman pointed out that although Jagger\nhad been arrested for stealing $150 and\nthe money was on htm at the time, It had\nnot been taken by the authorities and\nJagger has since skipped his bail.

The place was so crowded before the commissioners arrived that\nthere was a general alarm that the building might collapse. On the session opening, the secretary announced a conference\nbetween the commissioners and counsel\nand after they hnd retired the crowd was\napprised of danger and asked to withdraw\nquietly. This thoy did, but as they were\ndoing so flre occurred In the rear of the\nhall. This spread and several buildings,\nIncluding an Italian boarding house were\nburned.\nThe commissioners arranged a conference between Dunsmuir and a committee\nof the locked out miners. The committee\nmet Dunsmuir, as representative of his\nown men but not of the Federation. The\nmeeting was rendered easier by the fact\nthat a meeting of tho local branch of\nthe Western Federation of Miners was\nheld previously for the purpose of arriving\nat some conclusion with the executive of\nthat body, which is meeting at Denver\ntoday, regarding relief for the Ladysmith\nminers, which up to the present has been\nentirely inadequate. A telegram was sont\nto Denver requesting a guaranteed allowance of 114,000 per month, and if this Is\nrefused, It is said tho men will withdraw\nas tihey are dissatisfied1 with the way the\nlimited relief money has been distributed.\nPROVINCIAL   MINING   ASSOCIATION.\nMeeting This Evening to Complete Organization of Nelson Branch.\nThe meeting of the Nelson branch of the\nProvincial Mining Association lo elect an\nexecutive committee and officers will bo\nheld at the board of trade rooms this\nevening at 8 o'clock ut which a large attendance is expected.\nThe importance of tho organization Is\ndemonstrated by the large membership\nalready enrolled In Victoria, Vancouver,\nRossland and other towns In the province.\nThe fees for membership havo been fixed\na* follows:\nWholesale Merchants   ...$10 00-\nManufacturing Concerns io 00\nMining Companies   Hi 00\n-1 i.ol keepers and saloon keepers    6 00\nRetail  Merchants      BOO\nAll other members     l oo\nThe following Is a list (showing tho fees)\nof those who have up to Saturday last\nsigned the membership roll for the Nelson\nbranch of the association:\nP, Lamont, $5; J.

Canada fixes her own trade conditions and disciminated against Germany without asking Great Britain's consent.\nTho newspapers here, which are usually ready to avail themselves of any opportunity to attack Great Britain', or Mr. Chamberlain either, say nothing on the subject, or use moderate language in contending that Germany ean injure British trado more\nthan Great Britain can injure Germany's trade. A hint seems to\nhave to gono out from tho foreign office horo to the editors to\nsay nothing which might irritate tho British unduly, and to simply\nawait what happens in the British cabinet. Some of the papers\naffirm that Great Britain will be initiating a tariff war on all exporting countries including the United States, if she supports her colonics in imposing preferential tariffs.\nBARR HAS BEEN DEPOSED\nTHE BATTLEFORD COLONISTS HAVE\nNO USE FOR HIM.\nPRAIRI8 FIRE8  DESTROY  SOME OF\nTHE SETTLERS' OUTFITS.\n[Special to The Dally News.]\nWhimper, May 18.-A Battleford despatch to tho Free Press nays: Rev.

Whatever may\nbo the outcome of tho investigation now\ndragging to a close, the country will hold\ntho government os a whole responsible\nfor tbo disgrace that has been brought\nilium the province.\nIt is not only that grave scandals havo\narisen under the present administration,\nbut owing to the dissension existing in tho\ncabinet and tho time the ministers are\ndevoting to protecting their own personal\nInterests, tho business of the country ts\nentirely neglected. Anyone having anything to do with any of the departments\nwill appreciate the truth1 of this assertion.\nBritish Columbia has .passed through\nsomo dark days politically In the past,\nbut never before were things In such a\nstato of disorganization as at present,\nTbo only way out ls a general election.\nIt ls to be hoped, whether the electors\nchoose a liberal or a conservative government, they will give tho successful\nparty such a majority as will enable thorn\nto carry on tho administration of public\naffairs for the ensuing four years ln Buch\na manner as will restore the confidence of\ntho outside world ln the capacity of this\nprovince for self government.\nAn early appeal to the country being\nInevitable, and the well understood wish\nof the electorate being that the contest\nshould be waged upon party lines, both\npolitical parties should be preparing for\nthe fray.\nThe conduct of the campaign upon\nStraight party lines will necessitate a\ngreat deal of tact and forebearance upon\ntho part of the leaders oin either side,\nA new era in the political history of the\nprovince is to bo Inaugurated. It will\nbring with It, we ail believe, great bene-'\nfits, but theso benefits cannot be secured\nwithout paying a prlco. In this case the\nprice will be the sacrifice of personal ambitions to tlio welfare or tho party, tho\nsevering of olid political affiliations, a\npractical wiping out of the post so far\n;is provincial politics ls concerned.\nUnless tho electorate generally, and tho\nmen who havo been prominent in our\nlocal politics ln tbe past in particular, ure\nprepared to pay this prlco the introduction\nof pnrty linos will prove a foregone failure.\nEach party must httvo Us clear cut policy,\nchdose from its ranks for their lltness to\ngrapple with tlie new conditions, men to\nlead, and conduct the campaign with tho\nsingle purpose of securing to British Columbia a stable government, truly representative of the people, and entitled to the\nconfidence of tho whole dominion.\nThere Is nothing Ideal about this programme.

Whether or not party\nlines offer a theoretically sound way out\nof present difficulties matters vory little.\nWo are confronted by conditions that must\nbe changed and a division on party lines\noffers the best immediately practicable\nsolution of the  problem.\nEDITORIAL  NOTES.\nAs a result of the deliberations of tho\ndominion parliamentary committee, having in charge the new redistribution bill it\nhas been decided that Vancouver and Victoria will bo self-contained constituencies,\nthat is, not going beyond the municipal\nlimits, and having one member each.\nAgreeable to the proposals of both parties,\nthere will be four members for the Mainland, and three for tlio Island, to be known\nas Vancouver, New Westminster, Kootenay and Yale-Cariboo, Victoria, Nanaimo,\nand Casslar, the latter including Comox,\nSkeena and Atlin,\nConcluding a long article descriptive of\nthte mining activity now prevalent ait\nRoesland, the Miner says: \"Taking it all\nin all Rossland ls absolutely right. The\ncondition of tho camp was never better.\nThere can be no doubt aa to Its future.\nAn era of great industrial activity has\ncommenced. It will continue to grow In\nextent until several thousand miners will\nsoon be steadily employed. Then will follow a great and general revival. Tiie\nSouth Belt will bo eventually proved and\nRossland will take her place In the front\nrank of the mining camps of tho world.\"\nWe hope the prediction of our contemporary will be speedily fulfilled. The permanent prosperity of Rossland cannot but redound to the advantago of the entire\nprovinco.\nSays the Vancouver News-Advertiser:\n\"Meanwhile our dominion's recently adopted surtax on German' products is likely to\nhave two results, whichl we, as Britons,\ncannot but regard as satisfactory. Thus\nthe surtax will, by rendering more t'lfli.\ncult the entry to our markets of bounty-\naided German sugar, encourage our own\nbeet and general sugar producing and refining Industries, and It will, on the other\nhand, glvo a better opportunity In Canada\nto textile and other producers of the\nmother country. Under the circumstances\nour people stand to gain on the whole,\nsubstantially, by the threatened tariff war\nwith Germany. Our consumers will lose a\nlittlo temporarily, as regards tho cheapness of certain commodities, hitherto Imported from labor sweating Germany, hut\nthis loss should be far moro than counterbalanced by the development of Important home Industries by the enlargement\nIn certain directions of \"give and take\"\ntrado with Great Brltian.\"\nIn appointing that well known conservative lawyer, Wallace Nesbitt, K.

Tho new judgo\nis a comparatively young man, though for\nseveral years he bias held a foremost\nplace at tho Ontario bar. He should prove\na valuable acfuisition to the Judiciary.\nRAILWAY   TAXAT&N.\nImportant Measure Now Before tbe Ontario Legislature.\nA prominent phase of the complicated\nquestion of municipal taxation has beon\nunder discussion  in   the  Ontario  legisla\nture on a motion for the second reading of\na bill by Mr. Pettyptoce to provide for the\nadequate taxation of the property of railway, telegraph and telephone companies.\nThe facts adduced by the promoter of the\nbill show that the province lias been exceptionally lenient toward railways in tlie\nmatter of taxation. Every $1,000 worth of\nprivate property is now taxed on nn average of $4.50 per year by the municipalities,\nwhile thc taxation on the snme value of\nrailway property Is 60 cent. Comparative\nrecords were given showing tho adoption\nof an entirely different course across tbe\nline. In the state of Michigan, which hns\nadopted a policy similar to thnt outlined by\nthe bill, the railway property assessed by\ntho municipalities is 14 per cent of the\naggregate municipal taxation, as compared\nwith less than 2 per cent In Ontario. An\nInstance of the different policies is afforded by the St. Clair tunnel, which Is evenly\ndivided by tho boundary, half being In\nOntario and half In Michigan. On the\nMichigan half thc taxation is $25,000 nnd\non tho Ontario side $T50, and tho balance\nis further shifted by the payment of n\nbonus of $285,000 on the Canadian half and\nnone on the American. Tho Michigan Central railway Is paying $fifl a mile In Ontnrlo\nnnd $1,800 per mile In Michigan. In spite\nof this generous treatment thc faro In\nMichigan ls two cents por mile, and In Ontario throe cents. A further count in the\nmeasure of our generosity Is tho granting\nof $225,000,000 and 50,000,000 acres of land\nby thc dominion government to Canadian\nrailways. This makes a total grant of\n$325,000,000, which, omitting the Intercolonial, Is about $19,000 per mile. The dominion now pays Canadian railways for mail\ncarriage and other services about a million nnd a quarter dollars, which, with the\ncharge on the debts created by the subsidies, makes a yearly drain of $10,000,000.\nOf this Mr. Pettyplece estimates that Ontario's share is about 40 per cent.\nTo equalize this situation it Is proposed\nto establish a permanent board of assessors to estimate the value of all railway,\ntelegraph and telephone property for purposes of assessment, the taxation levied\nby the board to be apportioned between the\nmunicipalities and the province. The chief\nquestion involved In the bill Is one of\nrailway policy. To give money to the\nrailway companies with one hand nnd to\ntake it from thorn with the other Is absurd,\nsays the Toronto Globe. To tax them and\nleave them free to recoup themselves with\nhigher rates would be equally useless.\nCanada has passed tho stage of cash sub-\nsidles, and that line of generosity is no\nlonger justified. If our railways have\nbecome mines of wealth, the public should\nshare In the benefits either by reduced\nrates or some system of taxation such\nas outlined In this bill. The present supplementary revenue law recognizes the\nprinciple of provincial taxation. Railway\nproperty has long been subject to municipal taxation, but It cannot bo properly\nassessed by local authorities. A permanent provincial assessment board Is provided in the new assessment act, Into which\nMr. Pfettyplece's bill will probably be merged by the special committee to which\nthey are both referred. While tho highways of the provinco and such essential\nservices as the telepgraph and telephone\nare in the hands of private corporations\nvirtually uncontrolled, we need not expect\nfar-reaching results from nny taxation\nsystem. But while the control of rates\nand charges is the first consideration, It\nwould be bad policy to neglect any reform\nor equalization that can be promoted by\nthe pressure of taxation.\nconsiderable difficulty in the operation of\nIts trains.

C.\n\"Let the GOLD DUST twine do your work\nI\nTHE ASSAYS WHICH COUNT\nAN IMPORTANT OFFICIAL IN MINE\nMANAGEMENT.\nMISLEADING PICTURE ASSAYS OF\nPICKED SAMPLES.\nYou cannot ship assays, is an old and\ntrite saying, but fow appreciate Its full\nmeaning.\nAssays Intelligently selected are of\nmuch consequence ln a mine's development.\nThe mine manager operating a large\nproperty assays frequently\u2014sometimes\ndally\u2014and by his assays he ls able to\ntell how his ore Is running.\nIn some mines the values run regularly, and frequent sampling is unnecessary.\nIn others again, the ore varies in\n. value with development, and consistent\nsampling and assaying is required.\nAssays of picked samples are mis-\nloading and for the most part valueless.\nTake a large piece of ore with one\nface or corner rich In free gold; cob off\nthe less valuable rock and assay the\nrichest part and what Is the result?\nThe high assay correctly describing\nthe value of the richest part Is simply a\npicture assay and no criterion of the\nactual average value of the whole\u2014of\nthat which will be shipped.\nOne can appreciate that an unscrupulous man could truthfully advertise the\npicture aBsay; but the , sucker who\nbought stock on the strength of It\nwould get woefully left when tho returns came in on nny shipments that\nwere made.\nAn Instance is recalled of a property\nat Cripple Creek which developed a\nlarge and mineralized dyke through\nwhich was distributed small bunches of\nvalues so that one familiar with the\nrock could at will pick specimens that\nwould yield assay values up to ?600 to\nthe ton.\nSeveral wagon loads of the ore was\nshipped, and the average value was not\nhigh enough to cover the cost of hauling\nand treatment.\nIt Is the average assay that counts.\nBetter still Is a mill run of several\nhundred pounds.\nYou cannot ship assays.\nBo not be misled by picture assays\nmade on picked samples.\nWhilst It Is true that the assayer at\nmost large and welt managed mines is\nregarded as an Important factor, yet ln\nmany mines, especially the smaller, he\nis regarded as being somewhat of a\nnecessary evil. In these latter the\nassayer occupies a position which is\npractically below that of a shift bosB\nand is paid the wages of a roustabout.\nUnder such conditions the assayer Is\nwhat he Is regarded\u2014a necessary evil.\nThe work of a man placed In the position referred to ls frequently not worth\nthe cost of the fluxes he uses.\nIt Is remarkable that In spite of much\ntalk as to the progressive and businesslike condition of the mining Industry\nthat such a stato of things should be In\nexistence nt nny mlno ln the west. There\ncan be no question but that the true\nofflclency of a mine, especially if a\nmill is operated in connection with It,\nis largely dependent upon the honesty\nand accuracy of the assayer. In speaking of honesty we refer of course to his\nwork. The assayer Is often placed in\na position which requires a rigid backbone In order to uphold his work, which\nmay show some other man's work in\nnn unfavorable light. In order to do\nthis and maintain his position he must\nhave the support of the responsible\nhead of the mine. If the latter does not\nunderstand the importance of the as-\nsayer's position, and there are many\nsuch, then the way of the assayer Ib\nhard indeed. In the vernacular, \"he Is\nup against it.\"\nLet us take an example from actual\nexperience. Some time ago we were\ncalled In to examine a case In which a\nmill was saving about 80 per cent of\nIho values,' according to assnys. The\nshipments, however, fell far below what\nthey Bhould have been. All manner of\nextntnimnry theories were auVliliCO.1\nto explain the discrepancy. One theory\nespecially was much In favor. It was\npointed out that on tho Wllfley tables\nused a thin layer of material would\nlloat off occasionally near the delivery\nend. Samples ot this had been taken\nfrom time to time and exceedingly high\nvalues had been obtained, one going\nas high as 1350 a ton. It was thought\nthat this material would float off at intervals between the samplings and thus\nthe actual saving would 1\u00bb much less\nthan that Indicated by the assays.   An\nadditional opinion was advanced by the\nsuperintendent that he \"didn't believe\nin assays, nohow.\"\nA little investigation showed that the\npoor asaayer occupied a very unenviable\nposition. He was badly paid, receiving\nbut J2.50 a day, as against $3 for roustabouts; he was under the heel of every\npetty official of the mine and was generally abused by all hands. He was a\nyoung man without much experience\nand lacked a stiff backbone.\nThe result was that when the assays\nhe made did not suit the mill man, who\nwas naturally desirous of \"making a\nBhowlng,\" the assayer was treated to a\nchoice flow of profanity, and matters\nwero so arranged that the superintendent would look unfavorably on his work.\nThe boy wanted to keep his job and\nallowed himself to drift Into assaying\nlow grade tailings by the scorlflcatlon\nmethod, always weighing the exceedingly minute buttons as far as possible\nIn favor of tho mill man. The extractions as per assays were exceedingly\nhigh and the mill man's work was vindicated.\nIt seems late at this time and generation to urge that the assayer be given\na position in accordance with the importance of Ihe work to be done. In\nthese days of small margins It becomes\nincreasingly important that self-deception be not practised. The manager\nmust know just exactly what Is going\non and should so organize his forces\nthat he neither deceives hlmBelf nor\nallows anyone else to deceive him.\nWithout the honest co-operation of an\nefficient assayer this cannot be done, and\nwe would urge that the assayer be regarded by the management of the mine\nas his personal assistant, with whom no\none else has a right to interfere, nnd on\nwhose work no one but the manager has\na right to comment upon. If the mill\nman Is dissatisfied with the assays he\nmust be made to understand that such\ncomplaints nre to be made openly on\nhis dally report sheet, and thus directly\nto the manager. He should not be allowed to display temper and abuse the\nassayer.\nJUST WHAT YOU NEED.\nChamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets are just what you need when constipated; when you bave no appetite, feel\ndull after eating and wake up with a bad\ntaste in your mouth.
