Since then General Kitchener has been \"bunging\" the\nDutch fighters at the rate of a few hundred a month. Ten days ago Clio Boers\ncaptured something like 700 British and\ntwo guns. That looked bad. A lew\ndays later the same forces defeated a\nBritish force of 1,200, took Qon.Methuon\nprisoner, killed three British officers\nand 840 mon, wounded Ave officers and\n72 men, with one officer and 200 men\nmissing, and captured (our guns and\nall the supplies.

But there is abundant reason to\nmaintain that the miner's estimate of\nthe smelter's profits is, iu the great ma\njority of cases, excessive; that in lead\nsmelting (copper smelting is another\nmatter) on a small scale, only a small\nprofit accrues to the smelter, to use a\ncolloquialism, there is \"nothing in it.''\nIn the case of large lead-smelting plants\nthere is reason to believe that it may bn\notherwise.\n\"As matters now stand, for silver-\nlead mining particularly, is the outlook brightening and while some few\nmonths ago it was impossible to contemplate tho future other than with\nserious thought, If not with anxiety.,\nnow there is \u00abood reason to anticipate\nbetter times and a general renewal of\nactivity.\"\t\nHUIOAN OKK ailll'HKNTH.\nThe total amount of ore shipped front\nthe Slocan and Slocan City mining\ndivisions for the year 1901 was, approximately, 80,000 tons.

Tapestry at this price\nought to give most anything an\nappetite, but we never use it. It\ndoes not look well with pork and\nbeans. However, Henry might\nhave been lonesome at that lunch.\nIt is an even break that Morgan\nforgot to have lager and pretzels\non the menu. However, it was a\nswell lunch, and knocksany of our\nSlocan spreads away back into the\nshades of oblivion. To eat a S20,-\n000 lunch in 30 minutes seems infra\ndig as they say in Koine. It. would\nlook as though Morgan's crowd\ncared more for time than money,\nand nothing for indigestion. If\nHenry was a. great man it is hard\nto say what the crowd would have\ndone. As it is they will probably\nmake Germany pay a million for\nthat lunch. Morgan may have an\neye on the railways of the Fatherland. Who knows? Pierp; and\nhe is mummer than a dead hobo.\nEurope and Amei-ica and leave j\nhundreds of thousands of dollars.\nWhen the stream of tourist travel\nshall turn this way it takes no\nstretch of the imagination to picture\nthe result.

And many will come to see\nthem as the years roll by. Directly\nin front of New Denver, on the opposite side of the lake, is a glacier.\nIt fills a large basin between two\nnoble peaks, several thousand feet\nabove the surface of the water.\nSteps have been taken to raise\nmoney to build a trail to this glacier\nwhich cannot fail to,be one of the\nattractions to this region. Mountain goats and caribou are found\non these heights, where they are\nsometimes shot by the hardy Alpine\nclimber. No one need travel to\na column of pure reading matter in\ntho village paper; on the other hand,\nif I say I have always used it, I\ncan get two columns and my picture\nthrough the whisky concern.\nWandering Willie\u2014What's de\nmatter, pard?

This looks like a rash\nstatement, but if the reader will\nthink below the surface he will see\nthat it is right. People who live\nclean and proper lives need *have\nno fear of smallpox or any other\ndisease. Vaccination probably\nkills as many as the smallpox, although the people who die from it:\ngenerally have some other disease\ncredited with their demise. Doctors\nthrough ignorance or a desire to\nkeep up the delusion for personal\ngain seldom speak harshly against\nvaccination. Doctors are a good\ndeal like sheep and parsons. They'\nwill follow any old trail because:\n1 hoy lack the brains and lourage.\nto lind a newer and better one. , j\nCompulsory vaccination is an!\noutrage upon the liberties of the\npeople. It has been abandoned inj\nGreat Britain, but is still practised\niu free America. To hold people\nup and inoculate their healthy systems with filthy cow pus is one of\nthe most damnable customs and\ndelusions of the age. How a (tee\npeople can submit to such a health\ndestroying process is a mystery. It\nmust he through fear and ignorance.\nIf people of their own accord will\nbe foolish enough to allow themselves to be poisoned nothing much\ncm Im* said, but when the law of\nthe land forces it upon them they\nshould protest until the insane\ncustom is abolished.\nWithin the past months sniallpov\nhas killed about one-third as many,\npeople as vaccination, If this)\nrecord keeps up people will have to >\nlake smallpox iu order to protect!\nthemselves against the evil of vac\n< Hindoo. , y-w\nMatistics irom Miuie ol tlie I\u00ab>| ii\nvaccinated Miitntries in the world 1 Pf\nshow iem deaths from smallpox !LnJ\namongst, thow not vaccinated.

'\u25a0 :,, -' ..:\t\n_f...-m.ra. AT.,\nA subscriber writes asking whether\nh\u00ab should pay an assessment, the third\nwithin a few months, upon shares purchased in a mining company whose\ndirectors had held out hopes of early\ndividends. He does not doubt the in-\nte-j-rity of the directors, but fears they\nhave not the knowledge or experience\nnecessary lo make a success of the mine,\nand hints incidentally that mining is at\nbest a very risky venture\nAs to this particular instance we cannot pretend to pass an opinion,knowing-\nnothing of the interested parties -\nAs to mining in general, however, we\nmust remind our correspondent that\nthe mineral industry has created more\nreal wealth and has made more rich\nmen than any other, and like every\nbusinoss undertaking is largely dependent upon the knowledge and skill\nof those who engage in it. Indeed, in\nsome respecls tlie man who engages in\nmining must have a wider sweep of\nknowledge and a more thorough training for his business than any other.\nHe must first of all have some knowledge of geology, so that he may not\nwaste time and money in a formation\nin which mineral does not exist.\nSecond, he must be a mineralogist, so\nthat he may recognize the rocks and\ngangues which accompany the precious\nmetals. Third, he must he a machinist\nthat he may equip his mine with the\nbest machirery and see that it is properly s?.t up and operated. Fourth, he\nmust he a chemist in order to adopt the\nmost suitable and economical method\nof treatment. Fifth, he must be a good\nbusiness man in order to keep watch of\nexpenses and take advantage of market\nconditions. Sixth, he must he a manager of men and a good judge of character, in order that he may not be tied\nup in strikes, and may make the most\nof his labor; aud lastly, he must be con\ntinually alive to every 'condition of his\nlocal surroundings. Or else he must\nhave the money and intelligence to hire\nthe right men to fill all these requirements.\nBut \"Fortune is a fickle jade,\" and\nsometimes she seems delighted to fling\nwealth into the laps of those who have\nleast expected it, and sometimes the\nman who thinks he is sure to win is the\none who loses.\nThat the rewards of mining are often\ngigantic, is proven by the wonderful\nsuccessor Senator W. A. Clark of the\nUnited Verde; of De La Mar of a score\noL^bigj\u201eniina8i_2L,Jj W. Mackay, the\nafterward widened and at a depth of\n3000 feet the vein is stronger and the\nore richer than ever.\nSo that mining when prosecuted in a\nbusiness wav is more profitable and\nless risky than many commercial enterprises, and there have been fewer failures to record \u2014'Frisco Mining Review.\nAlMKCT SLA.VKKY OF COAL MINEKS.\nbftfa\nThe average wages including minera\nand laborers is less than SI 50 por day.\nUpon this sala.-y the worker must maintain an average family of five persons,\nwhich means that each has less than 30\ncents per day. This forces the childien\nas soon as they are big enoagh to carry\na dinner pail to go to work in the mines\niu order to swell the family income, so\nthat it will bo adequate to keep them\nalive. There are 25,000 children under\n14 years in the Pennsylvania coal\nmines In these coal mines, men and\nthese children annually exhume from\nthe earth 44,000,000 tons of anthracite\ncoal, for which the consumers pay au\naverage price of $7 per ton,or $308,000,-\n000. And the coal barons stand between the miners and the product of\ntheir toil, and absorb all but a meager\nliving, even forcing the 10-year-old\nchildren of the miners out of bed at 5\nand fi o'clock in tlie morning to toil in\nthe \"breakers,\" and then robbing them\nof most of the value of their product.\nAnd what hopes does the future hold\nfor these miners':' Illiteracy is on the\nincrease and it must continue until the\npeople at large arouse from their criminal negligence and wrest the mines,\nfrom the robbers to restore them to the\npeople collectively, to whom they belong by natural and moral right. Or\ndoes any one think that the coal barons\nmade the land and the coal contained\ntherein.\nDIAMONDS\u2014Loose and Mounted\nWATCHES-Filled and Gold\nGOLD BROOCHES.lalest designs\nGOLD SCARF PINS\nNobby Patterns\n- GOLD SET RINGS '\nLadies' and Gents'\nGOLD LOCKETS\nwith and without stones\nGOLD CHAINS-all weights\nGOLD CUFF PINS\nwith and without stones\n| GOLD GUARDS-ID and U karat\nGOLD NOVELTIES\nStandard Grade* of Killed Chains\nand Guards in all styles\nDon'i waste lime\nSending your orders to houses that\ndo not have the goods.
