At the Kstella work is still going on with,.satisfactory results. What the management contemplates doing cannot be learned, although it is reported that extensive work will be done during the summer. The Montana. Charles Bielenberg came down from the Montana early in the week and is much satisfied with the way the worlr is going on. The old contract for running 100 feet of the tunnel has been completed, and a new contract for another 100 feet and an upraise of about 40 feel to connect with shaft, will1'shortly be. let. When this is finished sinking will be continued for 100 feet further, giving a depth of r.'fiO.fect. Mr. Bielenberg is satisfied that,, in the Montana the company have a mine of no small proportions. From outside sources it,is learned that the Montana,has as good a showing as any property in the camp.

London.'May 8.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdThe capture of Wyndburg by the British is confirmed and the main advance on Pretoria continues. By the occupation of Wyndburg General lam Hamilton puts himself, nearly parallel with Lord Rob- erls and only 29 miles eastward, while he has the additional advantage of being connected with his chief.by means of the railroad that runs from Smalldeel or the Wyndburg road station, as it is sometime* called at Wyndburg. Lord Roberts is now nine miles north of the Vet and 03 miles north of Bloemfonloin. .Evidently he is not letting the grass grow under his> feet, though the Boers are equally as anxious to retreat towards Kropnstad and are so doing. The critics of the newspapers view the situation with Ihegreat- est satisfaction. A special dispatch from Smalldeel, May 0. gives the details of the occupation of Wyndburg by the British. It says: _ fifty per cent were better ('quipped for the duties of the ministerial office than Mr. Ryder. The'latter admits that, he was surprised when a portfolio was tendered him. 'He certainly could not have, been' more surprised than the electonite generally. At the end of one month exactly from the date of his appointment. Mr. Ryder has been allowed to slip quietly out of office and lapse into native obscurity. His successor. Mr. J:C. Brown of New Westminster, commonly known as \"Winchester Brown\", is a man of infinitely greater weight, and will be a decided acquisition'to'the strength\"-'of the, cabinet.' He, has for a number of years been a prominent, figure in municipal and political affairs in' the ^Province. . No one disputes his great'financial ability, for ever since his undergraduate days at the Royal Academy; and at the Queen's College. Belfast., he has made a speciality of financial problems. His greatest weakness, politically, lies in his espousal of theories which have [ not yet been sufficiently tested to escape vulgar classifications as fads. Despite this he. is a man of great probity, and on the lower mainland of British Columbia is regarded as being possessed not only off ability, but. also of that rarer political quality, sincerity. The effect of his acceptance , of office under \"Fighting Joe\" will undoubtedly be to reassure the Libemljelect- ors in the constituencies of the lower Fraser. of which New Westminster is still as much of the capital as when the Government was administered there. .Even the purchase' of the New Westminster newspaper the Columbian by the Conservatives which is just announced, will scarcely counteract the favor able impression which Mr. do it. The Liberals there readily fell in with the suggestion, but told him by telegraph that- Martinism was so unpopular in the constituency that he must '.repudiate the Premier before accepting nomination. Upon this subject Mr. Mclnnes hedged, and notwithstanding the pressure brought to bear upon him he declined to be bound by such- condition. Finally he allowed' the South Nanaimo nomination to go by 'default, and accepted the candidature of the Liberals in North Nanaimo, where he was .not bound by any such conditions. He will have a stiff fight with John Bryden. the present representative; of that riding, and who is manager of tho Dunsmuir coal mines, and a man of considerable weight in tlie district. Yet his chances of win- ' ning are undoubtedly good, for the young member has ii great many friends and admirers in the Nanaiinos. If elected to the House he will undoubtedly have a cabinet portfolio, and there is an impression abroad which frequently finds expression, that a distinct understanding existed between the Governor and Mr: , Martin, when the latter wascall- ed upon to form a Government, that the Governor's' son should be taken into the cabinet. While many of these things have tended ,to strengthen the' Premier, he has still to reckon with a large element in the Lib- earal party, represented, by such men as the, Hon. Fred ' Pelors; '\" late premier of Prince'Edward's- fsland: E.jV,. .Bodwoll and-E. P, , Davis, the loading Liberal law- ' yor of'the Province, and \"others -who make no scruples of declaring that they' will carry 0their. opposition to the.Premier to the point of supporting the opposition.\"*' Mr. Peters' speech al the Opposition myeting the other evening,- was the ino>t , caustic arraingemoni of the Government ' which Mr. Martin has yet met.

Yet even this assurance was not credited by the electors and developments have proven that they were justified iii accepting Mr. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Mclnnes statement with some reservation. The correspondence 'that \"passed; between himself and his friends in South Nanaimo. and which was read at the convention al which he was nominated, shows that he actually sought the Liberal nomination for' that riding. He it was that . suggested thai \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdMr. Joe Martin's Railroad. A. B.' Grace was approached the other day by a 'prominent business man of Fort Steele, and asked \"when the North A- South Railway was to be built.\" He replied: I have gone out of th<\ufffd\ufffd railway construction business, having turned any interests that' 1 may have had in the road over , to Joe' Martin tho weLl known railway builder. Mr. Martin has ties and lumber enough along the Crow's Nest railway to build his Coast road to Steele, also the bridges that may be constructed. Mr. Martins Coast railway will be commenced as soon as the genera] election is over, provided that \"Fighting Joe\" don't lose too much steam in shouting his i-ailway promises to the people at the coast. It will be a novel thing to see a railwav constructed on election promises and ties and lumber corralled by the Premier from the Canadian Pacific. Sullivan Slock.

The appalling- results of ox- ]>lo.sions and the da Hirers of dust in mines and oilier places being recognized, and extended knowledge having boon gained by recent 'experiments and ' observations, the highest importance may be attached lo tho prevention of accumulation and methods devised for decreasing the danger. It is admitted and proved beyond doubt, where explosions have taken place, that the explosive force and flame is most de.striiotive.in the main galleries \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwhore newly made dust is being continually carried.'- The results of the experiments show that we ,, must treat mines where the , element of dust is0 found witli as much care as a powder magazine. Many attempts have been made U. water or damp the dust lying on the roads, walls and chambers in coal mines. An ar- <\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd ' rangement lias been perfected for lightly wetting the- coal and \ufffd\ufffd\ufffddust on top of. each tub as it leaves the siding , in tlie mines where the engine setts, mil at a ,high rate of speed against strong \"currents of air, and the.same arrangements can be applied to dust' at the screens and coal , stores, and to1 pulverized coal- to be sent lo coke ovens, where ex- plrfsionsand accidents have taken place as a result of dusty coal. A newly devised' method for, ob- viating and diminishing the\" risk . of loss from coal dust explosions was described by E. Harlo. in,.a paper,read before the North of .England Institute of Mining and \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Mechanical Engineer*, and published in' Transactions of the Mining Engineers. Thcarrange- nient consists of means for auto , mat'icaUy damping each tub so as to prevent.th'o escape of dust \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd 'and to moisten it to the same extent as in damp'ihinos. Jn \ufffd\ufffduch mines no trace of dust can be\" 'tfound and few\" explosions (if any) cither from, shot,'tiring or dust ihave taken place and this safety con (inns the theory that damp i.s effectual in mitigating tlie of-' ..Xect of coal dust explosions. The apparatuses fixed ;il' the outer end of tho^siding where the tubs arc arranged to start on their journey to the shaft. It consists of a perforated pipe or sprayer and allows water, to spray over (lie area of each tub as it passes under the apparatus. The valve of the sprayer may be actuated by wheels passing over a pro-. jecLion in the vails or some part of the tub. It has been founcfiu practice that one pint of water .sprayed over each tub is sufficient to moisten the, dust and prevent it from risinsr, so that^i tank' containing'-about seventy gallons is sufficient lo moisten an output of l\"iO 1,ons per day.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Scientific American. :n praise ol tlie Bn1is.Ii .sioieiMn and patriotism. , Amoricaiis- real Americans, ilia! is \ufffd\ufffd\ufffddo not wi.-li Great !3ritain any harm but i hey have gotten very tired of having held up as a model for them. Any schoolboy will remember how lie detested the model boy of the school and how delighted he was when that par- agon showed himself to be no better than the rest, after all. This is 'exactly the way that Americans look on the conduct of the British at p'resenl.' Gerald Sanford. of London, has been in this country and has talked entertainingly of Lord Roberts and , of . tlie. Boer war. Among other, things lie said: \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd''GeneraI Lore), Roberts or 'Bobs', as lie is more fondly known in the army, ,is the beau ideal of the British soldier. Short and slight of .figure, he nevertheless possess physical strength beyond the ordinary, and iron constitution and great endurance and today carries his three score and eight, years as: lightly and holds his figure as erect asa man half his age. ToHniy mind, this mighty struggle between Briton and Boer, which, has been so replete with sad scenes and pathetic incidents, contains none sadder than the death of young Roberts on the banks-of the far Modder river.,,. What hopes of the future were blasted that day and what a hopeless future left to the great commander of our army in South Africa!.> Should Lord Roberts win Pretoria and establish British supremacy over the Orange Free State and. tlie Transvaal, there are none who would venture to say what honors may not be his. An earldom\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdpossibly a dukedom\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwill come to him. But such honors can only be as Dead Sea fruits to Lord Koberts. now that- his hopes of direct descendents .in the male line have been -taken away by tile untimely death of his son\".

Brewery creek is a tributary of Wild Horse creek, during the past three years, placer operations were going on, but bedrock lias never been readied, though gold in paying quantities have been found in the gravel. On both sides of the creek are located a number of very promising quartz claims. On Wild Horse there are a large number of ,free milling gold quartz claims. The DarJ danelles has been developed extensively for the past four years,, the quartz carrying values from &\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd> to away up in the hundreds. The Griffiths p'ro,porly consisting of three claims, with similar ore, are extensions of the Dardanelles. n Boulder creek i.sanothertribu- tary of Wild Horse creek. On this creek we find the Big Chief and Dupont groups., A large amount of development work has been done on these groups. The ore is free milling, carrying values'from $20 to away up in the thousands. The Big Chief has a large amount of ore in sight. A compressor plant and diamond drill are among the ini- j provements that' will be install-1 ed this summer. A' large force will, be employed on the Dupbut and it is the intention of the owners of these groups' to commence active and extensive development work during the next thirty days. < \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd - c On the east'fork' of Wild Horse The - Biggest Silver-lead Gamp In the World AND IT IS ONLY BEGINNING 00,000 TONS OF ORE IN SIGHT Within Three Miles 200 Mining* Claims.
