Jones, a prospector and claim-owner of Alice\nArm, is down from the Portland\nCanal district, The finest samples\niti Mr. Jones' collection are from\nthe Dolly Varden property, and\nconsists of native silver, brittle silver and ruby silver. They were\ntaken from a lead which was discovered about four years ago by\nOle Pierson and associates, and\nbonded to a Chicago syndicate for\n$50,000. The syndicate includes\nsome of the largest business interests of Chicago, including the Marshall Field estate. Final payment\non the bond was made last year,\nafter the purchasers had done considerable development work and\nprospecting by diamond drilling.\nIt is claimed that the drills have\ndemonstrated rich ore in large\nquantities, but this has to be\nopened up by rjaeans of tunnels and\nshafts before it can be extracted.\nThe Dolly Varden is located\nnear Kitsault River, about sixteen\nmiles from the head of Alice Arm,\nwhich is the each branch of Portland Canal, A well-defined lead\nhas been opened up by surface cots\nand preliminary tunnels. The\nowners in the Fpring will construct\na wagon road to tha property from\nsalt water, so that machinery can\nbe taken in and systematic development started, as well as ore shipments commenced.\nRunning at nearly right angles\nto the strike of the Dolly Varden,\nand located abont three miles further np the river, is another extremely high grade silver property\nwhich is owned by Don Cameron\nand associates.

Mr. Cameron has\nbouded this property to the Chicago swners of the Dolly Varden,\nAlice Arm is noted among Vancouver mining men as being the\nhome of the largest copper lead of\nwhieh they have knowledge. This\nwas discovered by Mr. Cameron\nwhile he was on a fishing trip up\nthe Kitsault.

There are foresters.whose vision\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd sticks in the woods and does not\npierce through to the fact that the\nwelfare of the people, not tho welfare of the community of trees,\nmust be thfi aim of the forester's\nendeavor. Forests are only the\nmedium through which he works.\nThe most successful forester is the\none whose life and work contribute\nmost fully to the necessity, convenience aud pleasure of the greatest number of people, not necessary the one that grows the most\nwood per acre in-the shortest time.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdDubois.\nvicinity were surprised to see come\nriding up the street^fiom the south\na company of Coufederate horsemen. They wore uuarmed, their\ngray uniforms were worn, soiled\nand often tattered, their trappings\nold and patched, they wore slouch\nhats, and here aud there was a feather remaining of the once smart\nand jaunty drooping plume of the\nConfederate Cavalrymen, They\nwere bronzed, browned Jand bearded. They sab erect and came on\nwitli the splendid horsemanship for\nwhich they were noted. Upon the\ncollars of some of the gray jackets\ncould still be seen tho faded and\ntarnished gilt stars, the emblems\nof the wearer'? rank.\n, In front of them rode Lee. His\ntwo hands held the loosely swinging reins and rested upon the pommel. His head was bent and his\neyes were looking straight ahead\nfrom uuder his downcast brow, but\nthey seemed to see nothing.\nAs the troops cantered up to hie\nold home his horse stopped at the\ngate and he aroused himself suddenly, as from a dream, and cast\nhis eyes upon the familiar windows\naud then around over the group of\ngallant soldiers who had followed\nhis fortunes for four bloody years\nand gone clown in defeat under his\nbanner.\nThe end of it all had come at\nlast. He threw himself from his\nhorse, and all of his companions\nfollowed his action. They stood\nhat in hand, with an arm through\nthe bridle rein, while Lee went\nfrom man to man, grasping each\nbaud, looking intently into each\nface, as though he wonld impress\nit upon his memory forever. Then\nhe turned and walked through the\ngate and up the steps to his door.\nAs a servant opened the door he\npaused, with his left foot upon the\nveranda, his right upon the last\nstep, and looked back for the last\ntime. Not a word had been spoken\nnot a good-bye uttered. There was\nno sound heard but that of sobs, as\nthese unkempt and grizzled heroes\nof a hundred battles leaned their\nheads against the shoulders of their\nhorses and wept.\nLee gave one look and broke\ndown at last. His hands were over,\nhis eyes, his frame shook with sobs\nas he turned quickly and entered\nhis lonely house.\nWith the closing of the door behind him ended forever the dream\nof the Southern Confederacy.\nAll Home Comforts\nA stranded but still haughty\n\"leading lady\" wbs obliged to put\nup at a dilapidated country hotel.\nShe glanced frowningly about the\noffice, reluctantly signed the register, and took the brass key from\nthe proprietress.
