William Hughes\nuf Australia, and to which all the\ncabinet ministers and leading members of the opposition had been invited.\nConsider Bank Act.\nThe house resumed consideration of\nthe amendment to tho bank act which\nextends the powers of the Ibnnks in\nmaking loans to farmers. The bill, in\naddition to extending the time of the\nlegislation enacted two years ago, also\nprovides that loans may bo accepted\non tho security of ltvo stock. Kir William White read extracts from a num\nher of letters received from hank man-\nagers showing that while about f\u00bb0 per\ncent approved the hill, the other fit)\nper emit were not favorably disposed\nto it. He said that as a rule western\nmanufacturers favored the legislation.\nHon. Rodolphe Jvemleux thought it was\nImportant that tlie house should give\ntho names of the hankers favorable to\nthe bill, hut the minister snid he did\n\u00bbot feel at liberty to do this. Sir\nThomas also read a. resolution passed\nhy the United Farmers of Alberta asking for legislation along these lines.\nHe sold ho liad been assured by the\nhanks that thoy would have abundant\naccommodation to meet the requirements of the farmers during the coming season. He believed the legislation\nwould be of benefit to the farmers,\nand said that the 'banks were fully\nalive to the necessity of increasing\nproduction,\nGeorgo McCraney did not think that\nthe banks wonld loan much additional\nmoney, but In view of the. wish expressed by the farmers, he would not\noppose the bill.\nJ. CI. Turriff said tliat In view of the\nprivileges enjoyed by the hanks, including a practical monopoly of deposits, the taxation imposed upon them\nby tho budget was only a trifle, .lames\nDouglas of Strathcona was or the opinion that the hanks had not lent much\nmoney on the security of grain; In mont\ncases they preferred to take the security of the farmer's note. He thought\nit would be important to have tin; assurance of the big hanks doing husi-\nness in tlie west that they would1 favor the extension of loaning faciMties.\nR. M. Macdonald urged the removal\nof the limitations of the hil! so as to\nan til prize the hanks to loan money on\npersonal property In genera!.\nThinks It Will Aid West.\nWilliam Smith, South Ontario, a\nwell known stork man, thought that\nthe hill would hoof great advantage to.\ntho west. Recently the western provinces were injured hy the heavy shipments of cattle to the I'nited States.\nThey were not a class of stock in\nmany eases that should have been on\ntlie market, hut the farmers were compelled to realize money by some means\nand their neighbors who had the feed\nwould have taken them hut had not\nthe means of Nnanohig the purchase.\nThe present will would obviate such a\ndifficulty,\nSir Thomas White in reply snid that\nthe hanks could not let money out for\ntoo long a-period. It was advisable hut\nthey should help all the business of the\ncountry nnd for this purpose their\nmoney must be kept readily available.\nConditions in the west were different from, those in the east. It was\nhard for the western farmers to get\nendorsers for their notes; The banks,\nhowever, would he frequently ready to\nlend money to a. farmer when they\ni-onsldered the moral risk to be good,\nThis hill would enable them to do this\non the security of live stock. Such\nlegislation had been extremely yalu-\nuablc to the stock misers in the United\nStates.\nTho bill was reod the second time\nand rendered1 to the commitltec on\nbankin.-r' and finance. The hill to\namend the insurence act of, l&l\u00a9 was\nalso read the second time and sent\nto the. same committee.

This\nwas difficult at the presont time and\nthe hill extended the period for one\nyear tn enable them to get the capital\n\u25a0and take out their license.\n\u2022The house then took up the estimates of the department of the interior\naffecting the Yukon.

He\nrelates that on the arrival of his train\natAuni, on thep great Er'van Plain, he\npaw one of the most moving sightH of\nUfa life. That great level plain was\nblack with a slow-moving mass of\nJiumanlty that seemed -to fill and over-\nClow tho horizon as fur\/as the eye could\njsPe. Tie states that they must have\nnumbered ciose on to 250,000 and that\nthey were slowly, aimlessly, listlessly\nwandering onward. Children were dying by tlie hundreds. Sometimes the\nfrenzied mothers would In their helpless, mad grief ifling their children from\nthem over the roadside -into ihe fields\nso as not to see tbe dying agonies of\ntheir emaciated and starved babies.\nOld women and men iycre dropping out\nby the roadside too fltr gone to go another step; epidemic:* already 'had appeared and were clalmlng'their victims\nby tile hundreds, from that throng,\nhe said, there went up to heaven such\nan unutterable wail of woe and misery\nthat he wus compelled to close down\nthe window of his compartment to try\nilf possible to shnt out tlie sound of\nthat concentration of agony,ahd pain\nwhicii was wrung from the ilp\u00ab of\nthoije homeless, destitute wanderers.\nFamilies Broken Up\n\"They have been on the march con\nstantly for weeks, have been forced\nmost of them to leave on a moment's\nnotice, have not yet had time to prepare for the journey,, and apart from\nwhat they havo been able to secure\nfrom the fields and' the villages they\npassed through, have, been without\nfood or sustenance. Children have lost\ntheir parents, parents their ehildrcu,\nand have never been able to find each\nother again; families ihave'been ibroken\nup; some have wandered on into other\nparts of Caucasus, others havo gono\nback into Turkey; and, taking tho\nstory of this exodua as a whole, I do\nnot think that for real pittyos and concentrated misery a similar Instance\ncan be found iu history.\nKindness of the Cossacks\n\"Out of the hundreds of stories that\naro daily coming to hand, It (s hard\nto maks a choice, fpr all alike are most,\nInteresting and touching. -We hear.\nfor instance, oif Cossacks transports\npicking up scores of little children left\nby tho roadside to die, and of their\nbringing these in on their wagons,\nsharing their frugal, meals with them;\nof women found dead by the roadside\nand a baby trying to waken the mother\nby pulling at her face and demanding\nits food; of new-horn Ibables left. Just\nas they were born, carelessly flung\nasldo, tho mother (lying shortly afterward; or of a Russian officer out at\ntho front sitting crouched over a llttlo\n\/ire that ho had made'.out of a few\nsticks, and of a little girl stiff with\nthe cold, and hungry, slipping into the\ncircle of heat of tho fire, and without\napology snuggling up to him and going\nfast asleep In a moment in the\nkindly warmth of the fire and of that\nofficer sitting cramped for hours In\norder to let tho littlt waif sleep in the\nfolds of his big army coat. Ru't why\ngo on\u2014-the tale is an endless one and\ngrows moro horrible as the details\nslowly filter it.\n\"I have seen some myself, have\nlooked jnto-the faces of haiiitted starving children, prematurely old through\ntho months of horrors that thoy have\ngone through.

It is the first clear and\nauthorative voice from South America\ntliat has ibeen heard since the 'war 'began, although that the sympathies of\nHouth Americans were generally with\nthe allies was already believed. Senor\nI'orez-Trlana's views ure presented in\nan open .letter to a young South American studying natural science in Europe. Apparently the young man had\nasked the views of his distinguished\ncountryman upon the war, and there\nappears to 'be an inference that he\nwas rather inclined to be pro-German,\nperhaps because of some respect for\nGerman achievements in natural\nscience.\nTyranny vs. Liberty\n..Senor Perez-Triana believes that\nthp questions at issue hetween , the\nCentral empires and the Entente\nPowers aro very simple. One group\nOt combattants represents certain\nIdeas, and opposing ideas are represented1 iby the other. To his mind Ger-\nhian.y stands for the theory that might\nIs right; Britain foi- the theory that\ni*igh't is might. It is a plalii Imttle\nbetw^n, -tyranny and liberty, Germany, ' he . says, through the mouths\nof her apostles of the gospel of-'bri-\n.gandagc, preaches the infamous doctrine that treaties should only be respected so long as it is convenient to\nrespect them. Speaking of the law\nbetween nations, and with South\nAmerica in his mind he says: \"The\nlaw is the supreme protection for the\nweak, he they men oil Peoples. He\nwho, as the son of a weak nation, accepts and applauds the violation of\ndefenceless right, Ibetrays his own\npeoplo and accepts and glorifies\nslavery.\"\nBroken   Pledges\nSenor Perez-Triana then proceeds\nto mention some of the obligations\nthat Germany undertook in time of\npeace, obligations which were supposed to limit her conduct in time of\nwar, and he shows how one after another of them was abandoned, without apology. Germany, for example,\nwas a party to The Hatiue Convention\nwhich prohibits \"the pillage of a town\nor place,( even when taken by assault.\"\nIt enjoins \u25a0 that \"family honors and\nrights, individual lives f'irffl private\nproperty, as well as religious convictions and liberty muat be protected,\nand that private property cannot be\nconfiscated.\" It establishes the principle that \"no general penalty pecuniary or otherwise can be inflicted ou\nthe oooulation on account of tho acts\noff individuals for which it cannot be,\nreirarded as collectively responsible.'\nHut before thfi invasion of Releinm\nwas a month old the Kaispr had is-\nsi^d this prooinmation: \"The only\nmethod of*'nrblditig surprise attacks\non the part of the' civil population\nhas been to interfere with merciless\nseverity, and :to create examples,\nwhich 'by their yerv fright fulness shall\nserve as a warning to everyone in\nTielgium.\"\nThe Crucifixion of Belgium\nOn August 17, the.

Campbell for the\nportfolio of mines, to which he has\nbeen appointed, Bossland has become\nthe seat of a cabinet minister. It\nfCsts with the voters to say whether\nBossland shall retain that position or\nwhether some other constituency,\nwhich would welcome the opportunity,\nIs to take the Golden City's place as\nMr. Campbell's seat.\nfrhe Issue is not a partizan one. The\nLiberal party does not pretend to\noffer the province a minister of mines\nWith anything approaching the qualifications and ability of Mr. Campbell.\nIt cannot -promise Bossland a minister\nbit- all. It offers no such progressive\npolicy of \u25a0*.development of the mining\nIndustry,,, upon which Rossland depends, aa Mr. Campbell has outlined.\nThe Liberal speakers from the coast\nwho are now campaigning in Hossland\nare simply asking the people of that\ncity to' turn down a cabinet minister\nWho can;serve them well and elect In\nbis place, W. D. Willson, as a private\nand opposition member of the house.\nUnder such conditions there is not any\nroom for- doubt as to the result and\nMr. Campbell's majority should be a\nsweeping one. Bossland's voters are\nnot likely to take any chances.\nNOT\nPRACTICAL      MEASURES.\nBLUE   RUIN   TALK\nThis is no time for blue ruin talk.\nStatements, which have been made\nrepeatedly by opposition speakers in\nthe province, that the resources of\nBritish Columbia 'have been looted,\nsquandered or. destroyed have been\nproved untrue and, while they are not\nlikely to mislead the intelligent voter,\nthey have undoubtedly done the province much harm among outside investors.\nThe fact is that prospects for the\ndevelopment and general prosperity of\nthe province were never brighter than\nat the present time. British Columbia's mineral, agricultural, timber and\nfishery resources are capable of vast\ndevelopment. Last year's mineral output was one of tho largest In history\nand showed a heavy increase over\n1914, the agricultural production was\nthe greatest on record and lumber\nsales were stimulated by^ the demand\nfrom the prairies and overseas.\nPractical businesslike methods of\ntaking advantage of the situation and\nof developing untouched resources are\nneeded at the presont time. \"Dismal\nJimmy** talk is worse than useless.\nWASHINGTON  ADMITS  RIGHT TO\nARM  SHIPS\n, Washington's formal statement yesterday to its diplomatic agents that it\nupholds tlie right of merchant ships\nto carry guns for defense is timeTy,\nalthough it will not remedy the harm\n\u25a0that was unintentionally caused by\nSecretary Lansing's proposal that the\ndisarmament of all merchant ships\nShould form part of an agreement between the belligerents concerning submarine warfare. That proposal could\n.not be accepted by the entente powers.\nJt asked-them to barter, a right.to defend their merchant ships in exchange\nfor a German promise, which all the\nWorld knows to be valueless, that\nU-boat commanders -would refrain\nfrom violating the laws of nations and\nthe'laws-of humanity. But the fact\nthat the suggestion was made gave\nGermany a peg upon which to hang\nits proclamation that all ships carrying guns would be torpedoed after\nMarch 1 without warning. The United States knows and. is how apparently prepared to contend that such\naction would be illegal and inhumane.\nA lengthy diplomatic \u25a0 correspondence\nOn the point ia. to be anticipated,\nMINING   tlttrtJSTRY   FORTUNATE\n\/IN THIS CHOICE\n\"I can say without hesitation that\nin my judgment nothing has occurred\nIn re-Sent years more promising for the\nfuture of the mining industry in British Columbia than the choice, of Premier Bowser in selecting, in the per-\npen of Hon. Lome Campbell, a new\nbead for the provincial mines department.\" \u25a0    '\nThis is the considered opinion of\nJames Cronin, one of the most experienced and Widely known mining men\nof the northwest of this continent.\n;* ..\"With the assurance that a new era\n-4s opening,for mining and that' the.\n'fndjietry is now at the-.iftreshold-^f\u25a0\u25a0'\u00bb'\ngreasers\/ of expansioiTTt^ft' partieu\nlarly fortunate that the, mines department of the province is to be placed .ih\nsuch able hands,\" Mr. Cronin further\nstated.\nA good British motto is1 \"What we\nhave we hold.\" Bossland has a cabinet minister.\nHungary has borrowed a large sum\nfrom German banks. If It is wise it\nwon't accept any paper money.\nThe Turks remained true to their\nown traditions and those of Germany\nby slaughtering all the Armenians they\ncould find before evacuating Erzerum.\nJust to show tliat it is fighting a\n\"defensive war\" Germany has imprisoned a Socialist who condemned the\nBerlin government's annexation policy.\nA big entente offensive from Saloniki is predicted for the spring. It\nmay occur but from this distance it\nlooks as if Russian attacks on the\neastern front and Franco-British attacks in France and Flanders are the\nbest means of causing the Teutons to\nBcurry out of the Balkans.\nGermany would be delighted if the\nentente powers would disarm their\nmerchantmen. It is much more pleasant for a submarine commander to\ntorpedo a ship which cannot hit back\nthan to have to keep out of range of\na 4 or 6-inch gun placed at the stern\nof a fleeing vessel.\nBossland is to have a three-cornered\ncontest, a Socialist having entered the\nfield. Vancouver also has three candidates. The third in the latter city\nis an Independent Liberal who in his\nannouncement of candidature raps\n\"the hidebound party men who compose the Liberal machine,\" which is\ncampaigning for the Liberal candidates in the three byelections whicii\narc now in progress.\nWHAT THE  PRE8S IS SAYING\nPremier Regains Strength\nThe public generally will be glad to\nlearn that Mr, Bowser has sufficiently\nregained his strength to be able to return from Kamloops to Vancouver at\nan early date and take part in the\nbyelection campaign.\u2014Victoria Colonist.\nCol.

To the end of January there\nhad been spent upon the war $158,000,-\n000, or SS.OOO.OQO1 more than had ibeen\nvoted by parliament. During the session now in progress Ihe premier will\na*sk for another war vote of $250,000.-\n000, and the finance minister speaks\nwith a cheerful optimism of a possible\ntotal of J500.000.000 for war purposes\nwhich he -believes the Dominion can\nhandily finance.\nNaturally Interest will centre on the\ntaxation proposals of the government\nto meet this heavy drain upon, the\npublic exchequer. In this connection\nit is gratifying to know that Hon. Mr.\nWhite's last war revenue budget has\nmore than made good, the revenues\naccruing-from it being much in excess\nof those anticipated, and the people\ngenerally showing no disposition to\nobject to the various measures. This\nbeing so, one feels a certain securing\nin contemplating such additional\nschemes of taxation as the finance\nminister may present. A consideration\nof the new -proposals as outlined in his\nspeech yesterday justifies feelings tooth\noi\" confidence and satisfaction.\nAt the outset the minister declares\nthat the government bos adopted as a\nfixed policy the principle of leaving\nthe farmer ami all those interested In\nthe basic iiidustry of agrictulture as\nfree as possible from the burden of\nspecial,taxation.\nThis is as it should be, and will, no\ndoubt, be fully appreciated by the agricultural community. Nor will the\ngreat \"bulk of the people bo inclined to\nfind fault with tlie minister's determination to make special assessment\nUpon the - prof its of all incoriwrated\nahd individual companies doing business in the Dominion. As a result of\nthe war industrial and financial corporations are in a most . flourishing\nstate, ajid.it is only reasonable that\nthey should pay a fair percentage of\ntheir excess profits to the government\nto aid In financing the enterprise\nthrough which they arc enabled to\nflourish*    .     .   s .        .    .,   . .*.,\nWith respect to munition plants\nthere ca^i be no question as to liability\nin this I regard. We have %eerit$$JitO\nbelieve that their profits have been\nextremely generous, even to the extent\nthat might be described by a term not\nto the liking of loose interested. By\ntaxing these profits and making the\nlevy a retroactive one from the commencement of the war, tlie government\nis doing well and following a line of action that has been loiiig advocated 'by\ntbe press of the country,\nThe new regulations will particularly\naffect transportation, mining, milting\nand financial corporations. The Herald's Ottawa correspondent wires that,\none company alone- will have to pay a\ntax of $2,000,000, while half a dozen\nothers will he assessed from $200,000\nto $400,000 eacli. Canadian banks that\nhave been paying large dividends will\nhave their assessment to the government almost doubted.\nThe Herald welcomes the new taxation as a step in the right direction.\nThe accident of the war opened a\nway for easy and rapid money making for the few and left the many with\nlittle hope for anything better than a\nbare living, coupled with self-sacrificing in many other directions than that\nof finances, i ly means of the new\ntaxes the added financial burden of\nthe war is being placed on the shoulders of those, hest able to bear It. Herein the government shows wisdom and\na really sfatesmanlike conception of its\nduty to the people at large. Hon. Mr.\nWhite's new taxation measures will Increase confidence in the government\nand tend to arouse still further enthusiasm among the people for the energetic proesculion of Canada's part in\nthe war.\u2014Calgary Herald.\nOur own Miss De Graff is due home\nfrom her junket\u2014paid for iby Henry\nFord\u2014-with, the consoling assurance\nthat Mr, Ford succeeded in what lie\nset out to do. So tbe soldiers were\n\"out of thp trenches by Christmas?\"\nBut she is angry\u2014ph, so angry\u2014with\nthe reporters.   Hear her:\n\"The public has been greatly misinformed by garbled and twisted reports\nof the doings on board the ship. Few\naccurate reports were made of the conferences, and It is not surprising when\na great many newspaper correspondents were, caronsing,all night and were\nnot in s? condition to hear or see anything right. It is a mystery to me why\neditors sent men to cover such a trip\nwho, r do not believe, could report accurately the aetitvies of their own\nhome town,\"\nTiie naughy reporters must have\nmisquoted Miss De Graff who Is credited with the following astonishing adventure:\n\"I assisted in caring for one woman\nof our party who was prohibited by her\nphysician from taking any fresh air.\nThis was surprising and unbelievable,\nand we cheated and opened tlie porthole and she got well. Mr. Ford hud\nno one to care for him, as his wife was\nnot with him and there was no one to\nmake him refuse to obey the doctor's\norders.\"\nIt is surprising and unbelievable, indeed; but not more surprising and unbelievable that Miss De Graff, a teacher of young children, should 'boast of\ncheating a doctor (by secretly\u2014not\nopeniy\u2014aiding in disobedience of his\norders.\u2014Portland Oregonian.\nINVASION\n1\nFrom tlie beginning of the war the\nauthorities have not been unmindful\nof the possibility of a German invasion from the United States The bitterness against this country on the\npart of pro-Germans in the American\nborder cities has been intense It.is\nknown tliat many plans have been\nstudied. The extent of our preparation for any sudden call from the\nfrontiers might surprise many of our\npeople, if it were possible to give details.\nUndoubtedly this alertness has been\nthe chief stumbling block for ill-\ntempered guests in our neighbor's\ncountry. One has no doubt that the\ndetails which prudence forbids describing are known in Buffalo and\nDetroit and induce billingsgate in\nmany a German society. The assembling of any raiding force in the United States would be, of course, contrary to law, and would demand action by the American army. Yet the\nsudden rising of even 100,000 men,\narmed and equipped, would find the\nRepublic helpless, at least for some\nweeks.\nCanadians do not remember that the\ntotal military force of the United\nStates, scattered over 3000 miles, is\n89,000 men. This country has more\nmen overseas today than our neighbors can muster In uniform. The best\nguarantee against invasion is found\nin the armed forces now training ln\nall parts of Canada. Our men have\nalready won a reputation and any\nraiding force which crossed either the\nSt. Clair, the Detroit or the Niagara\nrivers would soon find itself involved\n-Wiflery disputation.\u2014Toronto Nowb.\nJ CAMPBELL BEST MAN FOR J\nI MINING   INDUSTRY I\n.

Sir Sam Hughes, as soldier\nand statesman, has made an impression upon his country. Erratic at\ntimes, perhaps, but loyal and true,\nwith an energy that is dynamic and\na constitution that has no limit. With\nall the dignity of an officer, yet democratic ad a, soldier, the boys in the\nranks know that they have no better\nfriend. The burning of the parliament buildings showed another characteristic in Sir Sam. Sitting at the\ntime of the alarm at a banquet table\nhe did not rest on his dignity, but\nrushed to the scene, sized up the situation, ordered out a company of\nsoldiers and remained all night assisting in the work of rescue and maintaining order. There was no thought\nof personal discomfort. He did not\ngive his orders and retire to tho comforts of the club or his home. Not the\nHonorable Sir Sam. He is too democratic for that.\u2014Victorian.\nfA    LIBERAL    VIEW   OF   WAR\nI TAXE S \u25a0\nSir Thomas White, finance minister,\nhas about the hardest task of any man\nin Canada. He is our \"maker of silver\n\u25a0bullets;\" he has to provide tlie money\nto keep up Canada's end in the great\nstruggle, in addition to supplying tho\nmoney for current and capital expenditure within tho Dominion.\nWe are pleased to see that no penalty is placed on the agriculturist.\nThere will be no tax levied either on\ntho land or its products. This Is right.\nCanada last year 'boasted a revenue of\n5170,000,000, or $20,000,000 In excess of\nexpectations. Tlie farmers, with the\naid of a bountiful Providence, made\nthis enormous revenue possible by raising ?1.000,000,000 worth of proddcts. If\nthey can repeat this year, Mr. White\nneed have little fear that his estimated revenue of $200,000,000 ifor the coming year will he realized.\nThe other taxes will have little effect on the west.\nThe budget speech Intimated that\n$2 r>0,000,0 00 will be asked for to prosecute tho war. There would be no objection is the amount asked for were\ntwice as great. All Canada wants ls\nevidence that the money voted for\nwar purposes is used to 'best advantage, that graft shall have no place\nIn Its expenditure.

The top level was\nreached just before the close of trading but the market all through the session had an upward slant most of the\ntime, owing chiefly to sympathy with\nconditions at Liverpool, where offerings were reported .as exceedingly small\ni reserves dangerously low. ln this\nconnection it was said the government\nof Argentine was urging farmers to\nhold their wheat and was giving as a\nreason  that Europe must buy at any\n'OSt.\nDepressing crop reports from the domestic winter wheat belt acted its a\nfurther handicap on the bears According to a well known authority, the\nrecent violent changes in temperature\nhad caused alternate thawing and-\nfreezing in the numerous 'sections and\nhad hot unlikely brought about con\ngiclerable damage to unprotected fields.\nDp the other hand enlarged receipts\nnorthwest exerted only transient iiiflu\neiiece against the bulls.

Lakes.)\nThere is no \"htitlve\" lead like there\ni.s \"native\" copper, silver and gold,\nneither are there any lead placers of\npure lead as there are of tin and\ngold. Lead in nature is always mixed\n(ir eombined with some other mineral.\nThus galena, which is the eommon\nIe:id-producing mineral is \"lead-sulphide,\" nr jt combination of lead and\nsulphur, it-may also contain or. be\neombined with other minerals more\nvaluable than itself, such as sliver or\ngold. Galena is the favorite silver-\nbearing ore. it sometime?\" also carries gold, and is associated with zinc,\ncopper, antimony und several other\nsulphide minerals in tlie. veins. Its\ncommon crystalline form as we find it\nin the veins is u dark lead-grey shining cube and Uie.se into still smaller\nones, till even tlie dust is seen to be\ncubic under tlie microscope, lt Is one\nof the commonest of our metalliferous\nores, and is found in all the rocks in\nwhich other ores occur, but especially\nin limestone whose substance It re-\nploes; sometimes in enormous bodies.\nLike other metallic minerals it is Influenced and changed iby surface\nchemical action, or as we say \"oxidized,\" into sulphates, carbonates, etc.\nThis change may sometimes ibe seen\niu a single hand specimen of ore the\ncentre of which is a shining pernel\nof galena or lead sulphldle, around\nwhich gathers a ring or zone of a dull\ngreenish gray tint. This is the change\nfrom sulphide to sulphate, which is\nknown as anglesite or lead-sulphate.\nAt a vein in the Sandon region of\nVlritish Columbia ships of this substance will light with a match and\nburn sulphur blue. Tbe next ring,\nzone or change is to a canbonate of\nlead, called cerussile.\" This may he In\nsilky white crystals very like calespar\nbut much heavier, and gives ofif metallic lead under tlie blow pipe. Both anglesite and cerussile may be In large\nworkable quanities and be very valuable silver-lead hearing ores. From\nignorance of what they were or their\nvalue larage quantities of these ores\nwere thrown over the dump by early\nprospectors. They were not supposed to be metallic ores at all, but\nsome variety of clay or lime or some\nother more worthless mineral.\nThe Origin of Leadville.\nThis was the case at Leadville, Colo.,\nin early days. The site of the present\nLeadville was originally a large profitably worked, gold placer called tho\nCalifornia placer. The placer miners\nwere .often troubled by masses of what\nthey etillfd \"heavy rock,\" which obstructed their gold sluices and was disgustedly tossed out on the dump. M\\\nassayer happenod along and noticing:\nthis refuse, thought he would sample\nIt and fintt out w^\\t it was. It\nproved to be lead-carbonate, carrying\nsilver and one of the most valuabl\u00ab\nand desirable of silver lead ores. Tt\nwas easy to trace this heavy rock to\nits source and so Leadville was discovered and first called Carbonate--,\nville or the Carbonate^camp and for a\nperiod this desirabel surface ore, so\nmuch in demand by the smelters for\nits self-fluxing qualities was. the principal ore worked, until with considerable depth the. saleiiu. or sulphide, original prinjitive lead, ore iono waw\nreached and proving.h'iffhci; silver be\u201e-\nCiime the future ateady wenlth of\nLeadville. Aiiglenite also was found hi\n(IS proper relative place,  but not in\nsuch great <\\\ncenissite,\n\"Hard\"    and\nantities.as tbe .curboniU\n\"Sand   Carbonates\"    of\nLead.\nIn the development of the mines, 0*\nthough therp, was drily one true carbonate mineral, yet certain changes\nor varieties were found in working and\nlocally called \"sand carbonates,\" \"hard\ncarbonates.\" etc. \"Hard carbonates\"\nwas when the carbonates were mixed\nwith a, great deal of sillca-and formed\na hard brownish gray or rusty rock.\nWhen this was broken up by nature\ninto a loose, sandy body It w.is called\n\"sand carbonates\". Both were mixed\nwitli a good deal of iron oxide, which\nconcealed the. true color and form of\nthe cerussile crystals, which were-at\ntimes in silky white masses something\nlike varieties of lime or calespar and\ngypsum satinspar, but distinguishable\nby great weight. Cerusslte being a\ncarbonic like calespar effervesces with\nnitric acid, but anglesite 'being a sulphate, like gypsum or lime-sulphate,\nwill not effervesce. Lead carbonate is\nlargely used- in the. manufacture of\nwhite lead of painters, and carpenters.\nAs might be expected lead carbonate\nis more often, found near, the surface\nand outcrops of veins than at great\ndepth when the original sulphide of\nlead or yalena comes in and. may con\ntlmio down to as deep aa it is possible\nto mine.\nNearly, all galena ores .carry a, little silver and many sitver lead mines,\nare worked\u25a0 more>for their silver.than\ntheir lead valued though both commonly g0 together. In part of England there dr^'miiies ' called \"lead'\nmines\" worked'almost wholly for their\nlead values. \u25a0 \u2022\nVisit to a Cornish  Lead Mino,  ,\n1 visited one of tnese mines called\n\"Wheal Maiiarne,\". near Llskeard,\nCornwall; and spent the night shift\nin the lowest workings. We;descended the shaft for several hundreds of\nfeet by what iscalled a Cornish \"man\nengine,\" a great walking -beam from\nwhich descend rods on- either end with\nsteps on them and corresponding steps\nor stations in t^ie shaft wall, with tlie\nrises and fall of the beam you keep\nstepping on and off till you reach\nthe bottom, whilst a man is correspondingly ascending to the surface\nns you are goig dow\u00bb.'\"\nFrom the bottom of the \"man engine\" shaft for some' 500 feet or more\nwe followed ladders, the heat sensibly\nincreasing with depth; till we found\"\nourselves in the lowest* drift, the roof\nof which was glistening-with, galena\nr-uartz crystals. DuHn-g: thenight one\nof the men broke into a \"vug\" or hollow cavity running\/parallel with the\nwalls of the vein and drift. A candle\ninserted into this virgin cavity,,\nwhich had never before seen the light\nto be lined with .large white transparent quartz ci'ystals\";sprlnkled with\nsparkling gems of galena.

Feb. 18.\u2014Bilinguallsm\nwill be cut out from the school .system\nof Manitoba under the terms of a fctjil\namending fhe Public School act, which\nHon. Mr. Thornton, minister of education, introduced In the legislaturetoday. It provides for the repeal of the\nclause by which 10 non-English speaking children In any school wero entitled\nto instruction iin their own language.\nClause 258 of tho Public School act\nrecited that \"Whon 10 of the pupils\nIn any school speak the French language, or any language other than It)ng-\nllsh, as their native language, tho\nteaching of such pupils shall he conducted in French, or such other language, and English upon the bilingual\nsystem.\"\nThis provision was indentical with\nclause 10 of the memorandum known\nas the LaUrior -Oreen way settlement\nof Nov. lfi, 1836. It was signed by Sir\nWilfrid Laurier, representing the Dominion government, and Clifford Sifton\nrepresenting Manitoba. Other features\nof the memorandum provided for re-\nllg!ous teaching and tlie employment\nof Catholic teachers in the schools In\ncertain communities. These provisions\nwill ibe loft Intact by the new bill\nwhich deals only with the bilingual\nelauHe.\nIt Is saW the government will appoint a commission to consider what, if\nany, facilities should be allowed for\ntho teaching of a second language in\nareas where there is a homogenous\nnon-English school population. Mr.\nThornton made no comments on Introducing his bill. When the bill\ncomes up -for its second reading, Mr.\nThornton will announce the government's immediate policy with regard to\nbilingual schools. It is said that this\nwill not bo drastic, hut will provide\nfor the gradual extinction of bilingual\nschools.\nAnother bill Introduced' today was\none to establish a prison farm.. It is\nmodeled after a similar act. in force\nIn Ontario, and its objects fire to provide open air employment for prisoners who would otherwise be confined\nIn the common Jail, to lessen the expenditure of jail maintenance by making the Industrial farm as self-sustaining as possible, and to permit, the\nearnings of prisoners to be applied to\nthe maintenance of their dependents.\ntho public service bill was withdrawn.\nNELSON NEWS OF UK DAY\nIf your umbrella Is broken take It to\nTaylor, the Tinker, hell fix il.

Tlie matter\ndiscussed ought to bo of Interest to\nevery British subject, and particularly\nof Interest to Canadians, since it con-\nerns a'Vast scheme for settling soldiers and their families in the British\ncolonies and self-governing dominions\nat the end of the war, Mr. Anderson believes that the tremendous\nproblem of .unemployment tliat is nl-\nmost t'otftaln \\to i>e sprosonted when\nwar ends ought to be grappled with\nnow.\" The Mall and Emplro has expressed the opinion that for the pros-\nart t the war and the war alone ought\noccupy public attention, especially\nit any other subjects f discussion\nwould be likely to divert our energies\nfrom, the great struggle, hut the matter discussed by Mr. Anderson is really\nwar business. If the problem of unemployment spoken of could ho solved\nin advance, it would, no doubt, havo\nry great and Helpful influence\nupon recruiting; it would prove to\nevery soldier that he has a real stake\nin tho country for whose existence ho\nlc fighting.\nThe Views of the Workers\nIn addressing Lord Milner. Mr. Anderson explains that as ;t working\nman lie crimes into contact frequently\nwith many other working men, formerly British subjects, but now employed in the United States, and thnt\ntho views he puts forth have tiie approval of these men.   lie says;\n\"We believe that right now a strong\ncommittee should be formed to deal\nwith Imperial reconstruction after the\nwar. This committee should have a\nwell-thonght-ont, clearly-defined and\ndecisive policy to put In operation the\nmoment the war ends. We believe\nthat not less than halt* a million soldiers who have foiight in the war\nshould he settled1 in Canada, Australia-\nsia and l\\ S. Africa, and that an appropriation of not less than ono billion pounds sterling should bo voted\nfor the purpose. Canada is a land of\nvast agricultural possibillt'es and great\nmineral wealth. A small group of the\nbest agricultural and engineering experts in the Empire should be sent\nover to make all necessary preparations for tho coining of the men. The\nexact location or location** where tliey\naro to settle should bo defined, lines\nof branch railways should be surveyed, sites of model garden cities, cement\nbuilt, should lie located, mining properties surveyed, and the location of\nfactories and work shops should lie\ndecided upon. Nothing should lie left\nto chance. The gang ploughs, threshing machines, motor tractors, grain\nelevators, etc., should lie provided and\nrun on the cooperative principle and\ntho entire properties should belong\nto tho nation. IT one-hadf the energy,\nforesight and preparations used In the\nWar where used for the reconstruction,\nthe scheme is an assured success from\nthe beginning,\n\"There are great irrigation and\nartesian possibilities in South Africa.\nPreparations should -be mado now. incidentally, the Intensely loyalist stock\nthus settled would swamp the Hertzog\nparty with their disruptive ideals. In\nAustralia very great possibilities await\nIrrigation I have only to -point out\nwhat has been done in arid -S. California and Arizona to prove this.\nA Tangible Empire\n\"The British empire heretofore has\nbeen more or less Imaginary; there\nhas been nothing tangible about It.\nTake my own case for instance. I\ncite It merely because it illustrates a\nprinciple. Seven years ago I was in\nScotland, and unemployed. There\nwere a 'groat many unemployed at\nthe time.

Absolutely nothing; a mere sentiment. Yet\nour feelings aro British, still our sympathies are British, 'but that- Is not\nenough. There must lie something\ntangible to go on, something real;\nsentiment alone is ef no use, An\nEnglishman here whom I met daily\nis a. veteran of the South African war.\nWhen that war finished he was not\nallowed lo settle in South Africa. At\nhome he could not get worlt. Ho was\ndriven to want. He had to -pawn his\nmedal to live, and finally was assisted\nto America. He has done well here\nand haa been steadily employed. But.\nhe has ibden embittered, and his sentiment, In his own words is: \"To hell\nwith the British empire.\" it is an\nempty phrase to him, without meaning, and I tell you, with all tlie earnestness of which 1 am capable, that\nthese things will mean the decline\nand fall of tlie empire if they do not\nstop. In the United .States there are\nseveral million British born -who aro\nlost to the empire forever.\nMr. Anderson goes on to say that if\ntlie war were to ond suddenly now\nthere u;ould lie industrial chaos; and\nwho can say that when It ends it.\nwill not end as suddenly as It began?\nIf the commission ho suggests were\nappointed now It would be possible\nwhen the war is over to draft the\nsoldiers to their future homes and\noccupations, all awaiting their efforts,\nas swiftly as they were drafted into\nthe army. These measures would, as\nho says, result in the creation of n\n\"real empire,\" each part still legislating for its own particular needs\nbut 1>ound to every other part \u00abby 'both\ninterest and sentiment. In replying.\nLord Milner expresses his hearty approval of tho views expressed, and\nmentions modestly some of his own\nefforts toward Imperialism.\nWhat the War Has Taught\nHe doubts, however, whether lie is\na young enough man to place himself\nat the head of a movement to achieve\ntho ends sought, but liellevcs that, the\nmatter ought to be discussed and those\ninterested in the subject, brought to.\ngather. The war has -brought home\nto us, as he says, the meaning -of empire. It has (brought us into a closer\nfellowship; it has tended to wipe out\nclass distinctions, whether of position\nor of \"birth. It ought indeed to give\nevery citizen a tangible interest in the\nemplro for whicii he risks his life.\nThat recompense at least every soldier\nshould have for the sacrifices he is\nmaking.\nALL OFFICERS MUST RETURN\nSALUTES OF MEN, HUGHES\n\u2022OTTAWA\u2014Major-General Sir Sam\nHughes is a democrat on the subject of\nsalutes.\n\"A private,\" he said \"is as much entitled to a salute from an officer as ah\nofficer is entitled to one from a private.\nWhy, 1 salute scores of them every day.\nComplaints havo come from different\nparts of the country about a few\nyoung snobs who persist in calling\ndown men for not saluting them when\nthey themselves havo neglected tn salute. iWe aro eliminating a few of\nthose youijg individuals from the service.\"\n\"Oh, no,\" soliloquized Johnny bitterly; \"there ain't any favorites In this\nfamily!

P.\nForde, public works engineer for the\ndistnict, expressed his keen regret that\nCapt.
