C, SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 1901. $2.00 PER YEAR. V IV Tlie Slocan Star Mine. Diseription of the Workings on this Rich Sandon Property. This is ono of the largest properties of the Slocan, and one of its best stand bvs. ' Id is located a mile and a quarter from Sandon up Sandon creek, and was lo- ' cated by Bruce White, who is still inter- i ested in it, and J. Sandon, in October, 181)1. Altogether it consists of 18claims, and is now owned by the Byron N. White Company. Shoitly after Bruce White located the one claim, he and Chas. Chambers and others located seven more\"; others have been acquired by purchase. The main ledge, or that-on which most of the ' work has. been done, varies in width from 6 to 33 feet ol\" quartz and spathic iron, interspersed with zinc and galena. The finding now is .for ihe most part pure galena, a well charged concentrating ore, grey copper indicating the best value in galena is frequently seen; ' and cube and steel galena are most frequent in the clean ore. Figuring is more precise, but in' general terms we may say the clean ore .of, the property runs from LOO to 150 ozs. of silver, and from 55 to 75. per cent lead. The concentrates from 70 to. 85 ozs. silver and 65 per cent, lead. Carbonates are rarely- seen on .the property. The main or most worked ledge- cuts through the slate, quartz ancl limestone formations, as do most of the ledges of the district, at right angles with a dip of perhaps 50 degrees from the level. Most of the ore is shipped as clean, though a large- body goes \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd through the concentrator of 140 tons a day-capacity; (in charge, of Mr.,C. Culver, Mr. Oscar. White being superintendent, and Mr, Gankr'ogers foreman of the mine, Mr. Sharp operating the air compressor that furnishes power wherever required. In full operation the property' employs now about 120 men.. The ore is hauled from Nos. 4 and 5 to the concentrator by a gravity' tram, probably 1250 feet long, and the^ concentrates, go to the cars by wagons. On-the works are two sorting houses, one at No. 4 tunnel and the other at No..5. There are four blacksmiths employed\/three at the.mine and the other at the mill. .-\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd-,' The compressor is a four drill steam power of 50 horse power capacity. Later water power will be employed. There is a timber.shed 30 x 60 at the mouth of each tunnel, where all the timbering required is made and fitted before being sent into the works. In operations a method, almost peculiar to itself, lias been adopted because of \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"-the unusual width of the ledge, the tunnels for the most part hug the overhanging wall, and rarely reaching the foot wall. At the outset of tho working, after; driving tunnels, stopinir to the surface was done, later crosscutting, drifring lower down and stoping to the tunnel above. This lame cutting entailed very heavy timbering, which was done to perfection, making every foot of the working as safe as safe can be-. With .this gteping upward to intermediate stoping tunnels vitli unequal widths, pillars of cbncen- 1 trating ore have been left standing for 'protection, though not absolutely required. The writer entered No. 5 tunnel through a crosBcutof 900 feet to, the vein, where the drift runs 500 feet westerly. There are five upraises, from this level which is extended oh the vein some 900 feet easterly, under Sandon creek into theopposite mountain, and fit tho end of 550 feet, a machine driven by compressed air is operating a hoist- sinking on the ore body to a prospective No. 6 tunnel. Tho shaft is now down 180 feet, with adrift both ways, totaling200 feet on the ore body, The intention is to drive No. fi crosscut later and upraise to this abaft. There is on the. property a Pelron water wheel '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd for forcing pure air into special workings when required, but its employment is not often called for. No. 5 is so'far thje lowest level with a crosscut to the surface. Above it 150 feet is No. 4. This is,on the vein for a length of 800 feet. Expansions of the body in this 33 feet in width have been met with. A crosscut to the surface from this is 575 feet in length. A diatanceof 200 feet from No. 4 takes one to No. 3 level, which is 500 feet long with a crosscut of 150 feet to the surface. A climb of 100 feet from No. 3 brings one to No. 2, which is 200 feet long with a crosscut of 100'feet to the surface, and an\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdupraise of 150 feet from No. 2 lands the visitor on the surface, where he can see many of \"the kingdoms of the earth\" at least snow capped hills in every direction. Between every two levels are intermediates, in which much stoping to the surface, in the earlier days of the mine, was done. This is wholly abandoned on the lower workings, internal drifting on the lead taking its place, followed by upraisings to intermediates in regular order, in which much stoping is now being done. -'.This makes the interior of the hill a regular network of mining operations. From what is found in No. 6 level it is quite evident the ore body of the property loses nothing by depth. THE LOCAL GRAFT. Grand Forks is going to have a big 1st .of July celebration. C.J.

Pi Bremner, the labor commissioner, was the means of settling the machinists' strike at Vancouver. The washing away of the flume does not look as if the promised economy of the new council was goirig to pan out. Sadie Witemore at Nelson the other day mistook the fire alarm for the messenger service, and had to pay the city authorities $25 for the mistake. G. W. Grimmett, the jeweller, after fighting the flood for a few days, is now ready for business again. Entrace at the back'door until the flume is repaired. If the Dunsmuir party want to retain the confidence of this province,they will break up this government by patchwork quilt policy. Even Conservatives would prefer a straight Grit government to a coalition on corrupt lines. For a whilo on Tuesday after the flume burst, it looked as if our hall of municipal legislation, the two houses of salvation and many haunts of sure damnation in the west end of the town, would be flooded out, and outbuildings go sailing down the creek. The Knights of Pythias presented Bro. Sanford with a very costly silver fruit dish, from the shop of G.W. Grimmett. on Wednesday evening, just before leaving for Rossland. Surely their friends have not forgotton Mr. and Mrs. Sanford. It in needless to say Mr. Sanford made a happy reply to the address accompanying the presentation. The past week has been the first of our hot weather. J. C. Ryan, a mining man of Kaslo, was in town on Wednesday. D. J. Robertson has given R.E. Lyons the management of his furniture store here. The Filbert cafe has been re-opened under the management of Bennett and Lloyd. According to John Houston the refinery will be in operation in Nelson in a few days. A large gang of men were sent up from Nelson on Monday to repair the C. P. R. trestle near the Ivanhoe concentrator; The C. P. R. engine was unable to come after tho cars on Tuesday morning because of a washout of the bridge below the city Monday night. The flood on Tuesday cabbaged everything Mayor Lovatt's garden, including his hot bed of Spanish onions, besides a quantity of lettuce and hoese radish. Wm. Todd, who was under treatment for his eyes in Spokane some time ago returned there yesterday. For a while P>iday morning he was totally blind, bnt by noon he could see a little. His many friends here, on hearing of his misfortune, subscribed nearly $60 in a few hours, which when presented to him he thankfully declined to accept. A letter from a C; P. R. official at Montreal to the editor of this paper says the chances for a refinery are bright, which means the C. P. R; have their minds on building one, but this, of course, does not deprive private parties from going on with one also. There will soon be room for two in Canada. Clifton Seale in writing to a friend . describes ;hie..trip thrqugh-the Similkameen valley. He says around Princeton section there are farming,fruitgrowing, cattle ranching and mining\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdcoal having been discovered in different localities. Farming is mostly carried on on a small scale, growing . fruits and vegetables principally. The climate is delightful. The visit of Mr. Byron N. White for, the last few days has led many to suppose it meant the suspension of work on the Star. As, however, the officials bought supplies for the boarding house for the full staff yesterday, it may be taken for granted there will be no change the coming month. The low price of lead is the only, thing that would lead to suspension. Had the flume construction and destruction occurred during the days of the old mayor and council, there are some people in town who would have had the \"extravagant incapacity\" painted on cotton, tacked on the sides of a mule cart and run up and down street for a fortnight. As it is they are like a sheep before its shearer\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"they openeth not their mouths.\" Won't the gulchite give us a bar on the subject? The coroner's jury were unable to make any further headway with their enquiry, and so brought in a verdict certifying the body found in the creek was that of a stillborn infant, thrown into the creek by some unknown hand. The woman named last week acknowledged the birth of a stillborn child, Dr. Power acknowledged attendance, and this is all that could be proved. It could not even be shown the body found was that of the child referred to. Of course, under the circumstances, there was no course open to the jury but the one they took. It is quite true, as some.people argue, that domestic help cannot be got in British Columbia if Mongolian immigration is not allowed; that many low grade ores cannot be shipped, and much land difficult to clear, cannot be brought under: cultivation if cheap Mongolian labor is not available; but this does not properly dispose of the labor problem. The question at issue is that national existence cannot be jeopardised by allowing this labor to come in. If Mongolians are allowed in. the white labor element'must go out. There are no two sides to the issue. Tlie Payne Mining Company. Affairs in a Prosperous Condition and will Install New Machinery. The annual meeting of the Payne Consolidated Mining Company was held on Thursday afternoon, May 23rd, in the offices of the company. Composed almost entirely of Montreal capitalists, this company owns large and valuable mining properties in British Columbia. The chair was occupied by the president, Lieut.-Col. FJ C. Henshaw, who read his annual report as well as that of the manager of the company, Mr. Zwicky. After describing the progress and development of the company's property and the necessity of installing a compressor and concentrator, the report stated that there was every prospect of finding a large body of valuable ore in the deeper working of the mine. The report of the engineer pointed out that it was necessary to install some kind of power to operate below the No. 5 levej, without delay. It also stated that with a suitable plant, it would be possible to reduce the cost of operation by from 15 to 20 per cent. Commenting on the report of the manager, the president made an encouraging speech, in which he said that the directors had at all times carried on the affairs of the company in the interest of the shareholders. The financial statement showed the company had a balance on hand of $116,867. The report were unanimously adopted. An interesting report was then made by'Mr.'F. B. Mathis, one of the directors of the company, and a mining engineer who recently visited the company's minejihiBritish Columbia. .Hegavethje result of a minute. examination . of - th e property; and suggested many improvements in the working of the property, and the installation of new machinery. The following board of directors was ;then , elected :^-Lieut.-Col. Henshaw, Hon. L.'J. Forget, Wm. Hansom. F. B Mathys, W. G. Ross, A. W. McCune, F. E. Sargent, Rudolphe Forget and Chas. E..L.

Services will bo held in the Catholic and Methodist churches next Sunday as usual. Until the flume and sidewalk are repaired the entrance to these edifices will be at the back. Twenty men were laid ofi* at the Last Chance on Thursday on account of surface water rushing in some of the workings. Fifteen are still employed and the others will be taken on again as soon as the water subsides. R. C. Clute, D. Munn, C. Foley and F. J.

We can then catch the 2.5 train.\" As, it was already ono o'clock', it -.will be seen he was in a hurry. My mother was easily persuaded. Uncle M. was her favorite brother, and she never tired of lamenting that he was allied in business\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthe City Road \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwith such a rough, unpresentable person as Mat Lho w Barker. The two of them were Rowley, Limited, and steel toys were their trade. He was decidedly unusual in the train. I couldn't get him to,talk, though ordinarily ho chatted like any girl. \"A headache, my boy. Let me have a nap,\" he said, at length. \"Whether he ,ro-alIy slept or not I don't know, but I do know that I Smiled very much at him. His tawny wig had shifted to ono side, showing that ivoried old pate of his. ..[' ' At the Forest Junction, w*hero wc changed for Greendale Station, ho briskened -considerably. So did I, for it was there I was privileged to do the girl with tho red tarn! o'shan- ter some slight service. She had' impressed me .when she got into the train,'and I was pleased to see her again. \"Could you tell me,\" she asked, with the sweetest little lisp and blush, \"if I iwait tins; side for Greendale?\" \"You do,\" said I. \"We also are-'going to Greendale, so you can, if you like, get into our carriage.\" I -smiled,- and sho smiled, but we progressed no more than that just then. She threw poor old Undo M. a look which might have meant anything. I took it to mean that she had no intention of. putting herself alone into a compartment with two strange men'. To my astonishment, I noticed that the old chap had saddled his nose with blue glasses. When we were in the train again I demanded an explanation. , \"My boy,\" said tho uncle, \"I must ask you not to trouble me with idle questions. I am twenty-five years your senior, and may be supposed to have very good reasons for all I do.\" That night we wore Snugly fixed in the Anglers' 'Rest, one of the most precious of fishermen's quarters, with the hills soaring behind the inn, speckled all too thinly with big old hollies and oaks\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdrelics of the famous Shallot Forest, in which our Norman friends hunted the boar and the; stag. It was respectable fishing weather- southerly wind . and a broken sky\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd and the stream was in nice order. But, to my increased surprise, I could not get Uncle M. out of the house; neither the next day, nor the next, nor the next. Ho sat and wrote and read, and .was in fair spirits only when the lamp was lit of an evening, and bo had had two tots of! whisky. Hitherto I had never known him to touch a (second glass of toddy at ono Bitting. Had 1 toot had compensation of a very fascinating kind,CT should havo been quite angry with Uncle M.\"But in the meantime, I had again meti the girl in the red tarn o' shantcr\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd-twice in three days, to be cor rout.- She, too, was fishing, and already her brown eyes, sunny smule, gentle speech, and capital handling of a rod had done for me. She was staying 'at the schoolmistress's cottage, half a mile from the inn. Our landlord knew nothing a-bout hor, except\/ that her name \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwaa Cbesson, and that hor landlady thought her a very bold creature to be amusing herse-lf all alone in such,, a mannish way. She had, it| appeared, borrowed rod and flies from the schoolmistress's son\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdBill Martin\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdfor solid consideration. What with tho mystery of Uncle M.'s peculiarities and the joy I began to feel in seeing aad thinking' of Miss Chcsson, I didn't do much good with the fish. On the fourth morning I went a step farther on tho downward path. There she was, a couple of hundred yards or so below\", the inn, her cap liko a red berry on, the greensward. I saw her land a nice one, and then stood.opposite to her, with the stream between us. \"How mean of you, Miss Chesson,\" I said, \"to steal another march on me!\" \"Mean?\" said she, as if startled, and away slipped her rod. It was one fish more, taking hor unawares. I was in the water in a moment; recklessly, too, for T turned turtle in a hole, and came up on her bank,a pretty picture of a dripping idiot. But I secured the rod all right.' Hor regrets on my behalf wero simplv divine. \"If you talk like that about such, a trifle, my dear girl,\" I \/\/aid: impetuously, \"I shall be compelled, to tell you you can catch hearts as cleverly as trout. Anyway, you've caught mine, so there!\" She breathed fast,.with a deeper blush than beforo. \"Don't!\" she whispered. \"And you must run home and change.\" \"Bother tho change Mario!\" said I. That vjp.tf her other name, and I was getting reckless. But all the response she made to that audacious touch was to pick up her rod and basket, say, \"Please go homo at once,\" and turn her cherry- ripe cheeks another way. She marched off, and so did I. However, I had taken the plunge, and really, on reflection, I was extremely glad of it, and on the whole not dissatisfied with the result\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdas a start, you know. ; XL ^ Uncle M*. wag rather mad when he heard about me and Marie. He did that through the schoolmistress'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd hatched-faccd gossip! She looked in at the inn, and, chancing to clash with the uncle in the corridor, dived in with an \"Excuse mo, sir, the liberty I'm taking,\" which ended in. a calm, impudent inquiry if he could tell her anything about Miss Chesson. After that it was straight sailing for the Worthy woman to mention our meetings by the stream\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffday, and in the worn-out old forest also. \"I only wanted to make sure .sho was respectable,\" sho explained. All this Uncle M1. related to mo in the evening. He xose to heights on the subject. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd: : \"Whatever you do, don't make an ass of yourself, Leo!\" he said. ; -Then ho sighed. \"There's quite enough of that in the family as, it is.\" \"You're a nice old man to talk in that prudent, way,\" I said. \"How about your wig, your specs, and youri sticking to the house hero, when you, came down, you said, expressly to fish?\" That hit him. \"You're right, my, boy,\" he said wearily\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"you're right. But I can't explain things. It'* a miserable business. That's' all I can say.\" Of course then I had him on the grill. I'did my best to dynamite the mystery out of him. No good. Tho only benefit I gained was his> apparent licence of our goings-on. A deal it would have mattered otherwise, for by the end of the week wo wore engaged. I let fly at him with this sweet news. Then, indeed, he threw off his lethargy, shoved an old deerstalker on the top of that sandy\" shag of his, and took up his rod. \"My future must bo subordinated to yours, my boy,\" he said, as solemnly as if he wore in a pulpit,, and tho words wero his text. , \"Lot me see her.\" iv Well, I know whore fihe might be, fast enough; but somehow I pitied her, und did not take him; straight to her. Wo juggled among mossy boulders and trickles of water, with thickish birch and holly-scrub by the waterside. But, lo and behold! suddenly Uncle M. yelled out, asi if he had a thron in his foot, and therei was his wig dangling in tho ain at tho end of Miss Marie's line. The shy, clever, dear littio minx! ShcN.1 thrown from the steop bank right above us. It was quite a funny introduction after that. Uncle M. did tlhc most sensible thing possible in treating it as a huge joke. \"Odd that this should happen in', my very first fortnight's declension to false hair!\" he said gaily. Marie was disappointing. She had little to say, and her looks' of sorrow seemed to be absurdly overdone. Sho even answered Uncle M.'s cool questions about her parentage much as( if ahe were a dull little maid at' school. But he liked her. \"My boy,'.' he said afterwards, \"she's a good girl, though it's mighty1 queer her (sporting', about here by herself. Something motherly, don't you know, in her looks!\" \"What rot!'.' Said I, with a roar. I'll tell her that.\" And tell her I did that evening, under the moon, which looked splendid, balanced on' the crest of our particular hill of the forest. We mot by the old churchyard, with 'absolute contempt for ghosts. \"He says you have a motherly eye, pet,\" I said, drawing her to me. But she wouldn't be drawn. \"Leo,\" she whispered, \"I must confess something to you.\" . \"All right,\" said I. \"Overrun tho constable ?\"' \"Leo,\" sho said, very earnestly indeed, \"can't you sieo that my being hero and all isn't an accident? What dear, dense, simple creatures men are! And your uncle is one, too, and I want you to get him out of the country immediately\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdto-night, or the first thing to-morrow morning.\" \"Why?\" said L '\" ' '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"' \" \"Because\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdbecause he must. Tell him Lhe writ is issued for his arrest. I don't, believe for an instant he is guilty of any crime, but that Mr. Barker is, and your uncle is jointly responsible. Promise you will persuade him to run away.\" , It was the first time she had shown passion-f Actually, too, there was the shin\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd of tears in her pretty eyes. \"Go on!\" I said. ' \"Tell mo everything.\" \"Not until you promise to persuade him.\" '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd; \\ , \"What's the figure?\" \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd She whispered-something preposterous. \"AIL fraudulently appropriated by Mr. Barker,\" she added. \"Now promise. It will bo too late this timo to-morrow.\" Of course, I understood now. ' \"You are employed by the prosecuting solicitors, I suppose\"? I said. Then if she didn't burst into' sobs. \"I-I thought I should like it,\" she stuttered. \"I wanted to earn my own living, and Ralph and father said I. had a good enough head on my\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdmy shoulders.\" \"They told no lie there,\" said I. \"They have tho case in hand,\" she went on. \"But don't wait.

Mr. William Silver is' a well known . farmer living near Hemford, N. S., During his life he has. passed through much sickness, but now, thanks to De. Williams' Pink Pills, ho is again enjoying vigorous health. To a reporter who recently interviewed him Mr. Silver said:\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"I am now 'in my G2nd yeax, and I may date the \"beginning of my trouble to my six-; teenth year when I was thrown from a horse's back, and had my spine somewhat injured. This .was always' a weak fcpot and it .seemed to leave me' more susceptible to other troubles, as it grow, worse as'I advanced in years. As a farmer I always had to work (hard, and often expose myself to inclement weather. My back trouble was finally aggravated by indigestion, and as this affected my appetite, I was very, much run down, ifinally a few, years ago 1\" was attacked with . la grippe, which developed into pneumonia. My family doctor succeeded in conquering this, trouble, but for six months I .was not able to leave the house,. an;d all, that he could do for me did not bring back my, strength\/Finally Iconsulted another doctor, but .with no better .result. In fact before I stopped doctoring I had tried four different physicians, and all the thne instead of getting better I was growing weaker. Some eighteen months have now. elapsed since my attack of la grippe, and during that timo I was not able to do any work. My .whole system, seemed exhausted, aad my nerves .shattered. On fine days I' would go out for a while, but \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdftan I would become so weak and dizzy that I could scarcely get back to) the house. One day, a neighbor asked me why I did not try Dri Williams* Pink Pills. I thought the advfce might be worth taking and I sent fox a'half dozen boxes of the pills. Before they were gone there was 'no doubt I bad found a medicine that was helping mo, and I got a further, supply. I continued taking the pills for about .three months, and before I quit using them I'was feeling bettor and stronger then I had done for yeans. Ev\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdory symptom of the weakness that had followed la grippe was gone, and my back which had bothered me far so many years, was almost as strong as in boyhood! I have since done many a hard day's work, and been .exposed to bad weather, but without any evil effects, and..lean irmly, say Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have restored me to vigorous manhood.\" Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure- such cases as the one noted above because they create new, rich, red blood, thus . strengthening weak and shattered nerves. They do not purge and weaken like other medicines, but strengthen from tbe first dose to the Jast.

The Mining Review. SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 1901. Intolerance appears to go band in band with civilization. We raise pur bands in holy horror against some of the usages of barbarous countries, but many of them are at least no more inconsistent or intolerant than those of our most enlightened countries. Take tlie press of Toronto, one of the most enlightened cities of Canada, and it is teeming with denunciations of what is called desecration of the Sabbath, visiting Hanlan's Island by boat. Theieare in Toronto thousands of people, including young and old, who'ar3 forced to work 10 and even 12 hours a day six days in the week, to eke out a bare living, so low are the wages; and because these take a few hours on Sunday visiting the island instead of all the day in the churches, the usage is being denounced by the \"Christians\" as a desecration of the Sabbath. We are aware the masses of Christian countries believe in observing the Sabbath, arid those who do not believe in it, would find it beneficial to their bodies- as well as their minds if they did; but the mortal who has to put in GO or 70 hours a week hard work, requires some recreation on the Sabbath as well as psalm singing. The laws of health cieated by nature's God demand it, and there is no valid reason why the demand should not be obeyed. There is, we may say, in this connection, one way in which these good Christian people could serve both the Lord and tlieir'fellow man, and enforce Sabbath observance besides without injuring anyone, if the}1 would only take it\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthat is have laws and usages enforced by which the wage earners of the city would get a half holiday in the middle ol the week without any reduction of wages, which are now hardly sufficient to'keep body and soul together, and see that half holiday was spent visiting Hanlan's Island instead of Sundays. If this reform was made and enforced, the working man could have his recreation and the Sabbath could be properly observed at the same time. Let, we say, those religionists take the bull by the horns this,way, and they will be accomplishing more good than they can ever hope to accomplish with present cries and lamentations.

Confusion and stagnation followed, and both have been uppermost ever since. The promised refinery will, no doubt, when commenced, assist in again enlivening the country; bat nothing short of a return of the investment of outside capital will give us the semblance of the activity of bygone days; and this can only be got by an assurance our mining laws are permanent. We are not in a country that allows highhanded action ; but if the people would only come to a iirm resolve to drown agitators and tinpot politicians as they re-appear with new nostrums, it will be a happy day for tlie country.. accordingly have increased the indemnity of the members and senators by 50 per cent. No one expects representatives to work for nothing, but at tbe same time it is not expected the people should pay them yearly salaries for three or four months' work. The idea of sessional allowance at all is simply as the name implies to indemnify tlie members from loss for time devoted to the State\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdnothing more and nothing less. If there was only some way of separating the men and paying them for just what they lire worth to the country, it is a question if averaged up the total would not fall short of what they formerly have received. They all in addition to the one thousand formerly paid,' had been getting milage back and forward with railway passes in their pockets. The average man lives at Ottawa, excepting for extra refreshments, which do not add to their abilities lo serve the State, for about *|:40 a month, or say .$20C for a session of four months, leaving him, at former allowance, $600, and his mileage, say ^700. This is more Ihan the average man at Ottawa could make at home in the same time, and certainly as much as his liune at Ottawa is worth to the people. W. S. DREWRY, Sandon, B.C. H. T.

Our legislators at Ottawa are bound they will not suffer financial loss while attending the sessions there, and It is quite evident the mine owners of the Slocan are living to some extent in expectancy of revelations in the future. That operations are down almost to a minimum ia apparent from the low ebb of commercial matters. Values of lead and silver are low to be sure, but not so low as they have been in the history of the camp, while operations were posr sible.

To be practical, the people have themselves largely to blame for this. Three years ugo things were going on well in the country, there was plenty of work, plenty of men to do it at fair wages, and au active commercial business. Speculators wero coming in with their purses, making deposits here and there, circulating a round sum of money that was freely passing from hand to hand. The tinpot politician and the agitator could not stand prosperity of this description, they had to get in their work, and the people allowed them to Some of the British Columbia prints ;u-e sighing heavily because Ij. C. government at. the late session did not uive Hill a huge slice of the public domain for \"competing\" railways.

In the early eighties there were over a dozen of these socalled \"competing\" roads, that landed parts of Ontario in a two cents on the dollar taxation, and today there are but two railway companies doing business in the country, and they with pooled rates. Do the people of British Columbia think it wise to put their necks in the same traps ? \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'.

A continued flume built like the old one and re-bottomed every three or four years might stand, but that with other repairs would cost the people upwards of $500 a,year, an expenditure the people cannot stand. A structure like the old one, bottomed with plank edgeways sunk into the ground, or heavy flatted timber, would be much better from an economic point of view.

He (Wilks) was to contest Nelson riding, and to that''end his followers at once began a campaign of mud-throwing. The members for Nelson and Slocan were denounced as \"no good\" and '\"traitors.\" No. epithet was mean \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd enough to use against \"Bob\" Green and John Houston. The mud-throwers are still at work, but their claws are being clipped, and were an election held tomorrow they would not be a factor thai would count for much.. Il is now apparent that in the last elections, the miners were cojoled bodily by the healers, but next time they are likely to assume manly independence.

One of the first of Earl Roberts' acts as Commander-in-Chief was the Issue of an, order that all officers visiting Pall Mall as officers should be attired in the uniform of their rank. That order strikes the right note. Some day, perhaps\", H13 Majesty may, through .the Commander- in-Chief, inform his officers of the (Sister services' that it is His Royal (will and pleasure that they shall ceas.e to disguise themselves as civilians' when off duty. But Is an officer ever really \"off duty\"? In the other armies' of the civilized world they do not think so. CChc uniforn of the Kaiser and the Tgar, of the French Republic and' the Emperor of Austria, is not slighted \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdin this way. In all European services it is a military offence for an officer to appear in public, save by special permission and when unofficial^ visiting foreign countries, (without his uniform, and even if this (were not the case, no European officer dare brave the ridicule and; contempt with which his comrades would visit such an insult to his country. They arc never off duty. They are Soldiers from the moment they enter the army till the hour in which they leave it. To them their uniform ig a great deal more than a mere suit of more or less gorgeous clothes.' It ig the outward and visible sign) of the fact that they have devoted their lives and energies to the service of their country, and the wearing of it is to them not only a duty, , . ..-\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd BUT AN HONOR. '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd . \" . Why dees not the British officer think the (ja.mc of the King's uniform? Why is it to him merely a livery of ecrvice. to be woirn, as a footman .wears his livery, only when he is directly serving his master Fu?rther, one might ask, without impertinence, why the private soldier and the noncommissioned officer is compelled to wear His Majesty's uniform both on and off duty, while thosto who hold \"his; commission are permitted to get rid of it, aa though itj were something irksome and disagreeable, at the earliest passible moment\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdjust as the footman does with his livery? It cannot, of course, be that the British officer holds His Majesty's uniform in anything but, honor, though his European brother-in-arms sometimes thinks differently, It ' would rather seem to bs partly the result of a. pernicious tradition, and partly on that amateurism which so deplorably interferes with the efficiency of our Army in the field. The fact is, that the average British officer does not take his profession Seriously save when on duty, and therefore the moment his professional duties are over he makes haste to ireturn to civilian life. He has, apparently, a rooted objection to being recognized by the Man in the Street as a bearer of His Majesty's: commission, and he likes to get into mufti bo that the men of his own regiment may pass him by in the Street without ualuting. .\"WirJh us it is
