C., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1003.\nPrtce, *2 a Year, in Advance\nucstion\nMessrs. Jette and Aylesworth,\nCanadian jurists, who acted for\nthe Dominion in the Alaskan boundary commission,have made a statement regarding the award, as\nfollows:\nThe decision of the Alaska boundary tribunal has been given, and,\nin view of its character, the people\nof Canada are, in our judgement,\nentitled to. such explanation from\nua as will enable thein to comprehend fully the manner in which\ntheir interests have been dealt with.\nWe take up the points of the decision in the order in which -they\nare presented by the treaty under\nwhich the tribunal was constructed.\nFirst\u2014the Portland canal.\nThere are two channels parrallel\nwith each other, four islands between them. The Canadian contention was that the northern channel should be adopted. The United\nStates contended for the southern\nchannel. On the result of the decision depended the four islands,\nKannaghunut, Sitklan, Wales and\nPearse. When the tribunal met.\nafter the argument, and considered\nthis question, the view of the three\nBritish commissioners was that the\n\u2014Canadian contention-was absol utely-\nunchangeable.\nA memorandum was prepared\nand read to the commissioners embodying our views and showing it\nto be beyond dispute that the Canadian contention in this branch of\nthe case should prevail and that the\nboundary should run to the northward of the four islands, thus giving them to Canada. Notwithstanding theso facts, tho members\nofthe tribunal, other than ourselves, havo now signed an award\ngiving two of the islands, Kannaghunut and Sitklan to the United\nStates.\nThese two islands are the outermost of tho four. They command\nthe entrance of the Portland channel and tho ocean passage to Port\nSimpson. Their loss whololy destroys the strategic value to Canada\nof the Wales and Pearse islands.\nSecond\u2014Tho lino northward from\nPortland channel. Substantially\nthe Canadian contention regarding\nthis lino was that there uro mountains parrallel with the coast within the meaning of the treaty of 1825\nand that the tops of such mountains\nshould be declared tho boundary,\nthe mountains nearest the sea being\ntaken. Tho United States' contention was that there are uo mountains parrallel with the coast, within the meaning of the treaty, and\ncanal, and the line thence around\nthe head of the Lynn canal following the watershed, would have given Canada the heart of the lower\ninlet with at least one fine harbor,\nfrom which easy access to the interior of the Atlin and Yukon\ncountry could have been had.\nIt would not so far as we have\nbeen mado aware, have taken any\nterritory ever actually occupied by\nUnited States citizens, it would\nhave given the United States the\nLynn canal, including Skagway,\nDyea and Pyramid harbors, and it\nwould have beeu we think, reason\nably satisfactory to Canada. Instead of taking the coast line of\nmountains, a line of mountains\nhave been chosen far back from the\ncoast, clearing completely all the\nbays, inlets, etc. The mountain\nline adopted as the boundary lies\nso far from the coast as to give the\nUnited States substantially all the\nterritory in dispute. The line completely clears all the bays and inlets\nand means of access to the sea, giving the United States a complete\nlaud barrier between Canada and\nthe sea from the Portland canal to\nMount St. Elias.\n\u2014We-have-not-been-able to-derive\nany understanding from our\ncolleagues on tho commission as to\nthe principle on which they have\nselected their line of mountains and\nour observations of the discussions\nwhich have resulted in the settlement on this line have led us to\nconclude that instead of resting on\nany intelligible principle the choice\nof this line has been a compromise\nbetween opposing and entirely irreconcilable views of the true meaning of the original treaty. There-\nsuit of this compromise has, we\nthink, been a distinct sacrifice of\nthe interests of Canada. When it\nwas shown that there wero mountains parrallel with the const within\nthe meaning of the treaty, tho only\nlogical course, in our judgement,\nwas to adopt as boundary the\nmountains in the immediate vicinity of the const.\nThird, regarding the general\nquestion of inlets the tribunal finds\nagainst the contentions of Canada.\nWe are both strongly convinced\nthat this conclusion is wrong and\nwe have put upon record at length\nthe reasons for our view in this\nrespect.\nFinally if the six members of the\ntribunal had each given an individual, judicial decision ou each ofthe\nquestions submitted we would have\nconceived it to bo our duty under\nthe treaty of U)0.'J, howevermuch\nwe might have dillered with our\ncolleagues, to have joined in signing the document which constituted\nthe ofllcial record of answers.\n\"We do not consider the findings of the tribunal as to the islands\nto the entrance of Portland channel\nor as to the mountain line a judicial\none. We have therefore declined\nto be parties to the award,\n\u2022\u2022Our position during the conferences of the tribunal lias been an\nunfortunate one. We have been in\nvalue to the United States.\nAmidst the clamor and resenti-\nment following the award of the\ncommission, Professor Goldvvin\nSmith, an acknowledged authority\non international questions, in a\npublished interview, says Canada\nought not to resent the award. He\nsays:\n\"We doubtless have gotten more\nby the award through Britain than\nwe could ever have hoped for alone.\nLet us be reasonable and calm and\naccept the decision in a spirit of\nloyalty and with the assurance\nthat our claims were not just, while\nthose of the United States wrere.\"\nStI.VKK-r.EAD QUOTATIONS.\nOct. 21 Silver, 61f Lead, \u00a311 l?3d\nOct. 22 Silver, (3 if Lead, \u00a311 2s6d\nOct. 23 Silver. 61f Lead, \u00a311 2s6d\nOct. 24 Silver, 60| Lead, \u00a3\nOct. 26 Silver, G0\u00a3 Lead, \u00a3\nOct. 27 Silver, 60} Lead, \u00a311 3s6d\nOct. 28 Silver, 60{j Lead, \u00a311 5s\nAt the receut convention ofthe\nHigh Court, I. 0.

In support of this he\ngives au illustration of the intentions of the United States Steel\nCompany to capture the steel market of Great Britain at auy\ncost. The company can do this and thus keep its production at\nthe present enormous rate, far beyond the normal requirements.\nThis being the largest corporation in the world, its policy may\nbe taken as au indication of what all other \"trust\" concerns\nacross the border will do when the home deniaud begins to\n\"peter out.\"\nAs au offset to all this aud to place Great Britain on the same\nfooting as other protective countries, Mr. Chamberlain proposes\nto place the following duties on all importations from foreign\nlauds: Two shillings (50c) a quarter of 8 bushels on wheat;\nfive per cent on all meats and dairy products (excepting bacon),\nand ten per cent on all manufactured goods.\nTo balance this, aud presumably to pacify the populace, he\nsuggests that three-quarters of thc tea duty be taken off, half\nthc duty on sugar, and a reduction of about that amount on\ncoffee and cocoa.\nThe estimated exchequer loss 011 all this outside manufactured\ngoods is estimated at close to three millions of sterling, but the\nrevenue estimated to be derived from the new ten per cent duty JS^X!!^\nwill realize over nine millions. Thus Mr. Chamberlain sets at\nrest any uneasiness that might l>e felt on the loss of revenue\nscore by reason\nA XELSON OPINION.\nThe hue and cry thnt lias gono up from\nthe pivss througlinr.t the Dominion over\nthe decision of the tribunal was to bo expected as it was justified. It may be said,\nhowever, that with tho majority of Canadians the loss of a few i>iniids aloug the\nBritish Columbia const is as nothing compared with the grating annoyance ou tho\npatriotic nerves through the screeching of\ntho American I'ngki which will follow in\nthe wako of the jiniiouncement.\nThere is a feeling ou this sido of tho\n\u2022JMth parallel, not necessarily of nu uu-\nfriendly nature, towards tho United States\nthat it is not good for that fur from dovol-\nojhhI land to carry everything before it.\nThere is danger in tho intoxication thnt\nfollows a continual success unless balanced by that jxiiso which conies from\nlong traditions. There aro clever men in\nthat laud, men who aro very close to being culled diplomats, hut they are not numerous, although tho average ambitious\ncommercial aspirant imagines that business acumen must of necessity make good\nmaterial for successful statesmanship.\nIt will lako many years for ihatcouutiy\nto evolve men of the standard of political ability tliat leads to the higher and\nmon* refined platform where graceful di-\niilomacy regulates tlie destiny of nations.\nMeanwhile, there is far moro to do in Internal matters than the Republican advocates of au iiiijM'rialisnicopied from Great\nHrifain are disiHised to admit.

Pettit in American Advertiser.]\nIf system be a vital factor in general\nbusiness management, how much more is\nit essential to the advertising profession.\nTo attempt an advertising campaign\nwithout a well defined systematic conception of what to do can be ouly likened to\nan explorer penetrating the depths of an\nunknown country with no particular aim,\nor a mariner starting out to sea without a\ncompass.\nMethod is nature's law and although on\nthe surface this may appear hardly clear,\nyet a closer scrutiny will convince anyone\nthat everything in the realm of nature is\nmagnificently orderly.\nTho great value of system in advertising is no where more exemplified than in\nthe follow up methods now carried to a\npoint of scientific exactness.\nTho greater amount of outer publicity\ndone by the progressive firms of tho day\nthe greater is tho care bestowed on the details of this follow up system, and nothing is of small enough value to warrant\ninattention. This on tho sanio principle\nthat tho same consideration and politeness\nshould be extended to tho small buyer as\nto tho large, for reputation travels.\nRecognizing this, every enquiry is held\nto contain the germ of possible order, aud\nis therefore given a microscopic attention,\nanswered promptly, duly filled aud recorded. A small percentage of these enquiries blossom into further correspondence which eventually bear fruit in an\norder.\nWith the majority no stono is left unturned to stir up further interest and to\nthat end circular letters and appeals are\nsent with a tenacity that is in some cases\ntruly splendid.\nOnly after this continual prodding, only\nafter fly after fly has beeu changed and\nall hope of getting the fish to rise has been\nabandoned, will the name be struck off\ntho mailing list as dead.\nThe psychological reason for this is worthy of consideration inasmuch as it gives\na \"raison d'etre\" for the tenacious system which is now so much iu vogue.\nThe problem is how can the feeble interest of of a casual enquirer be fanned into a flame of desire for possession of the\narticle in question?\nOu the spur of the moment a man will\nask for particulars of a certain ad, theso\naro mailed aud when received overlooked;\nhis interest has failed and his memory\nneeds jogging, a second letter is despatched, gotten up be is said to appear exactly\nas if it had been specifically dictated and\ncarrying au impression of interest on the\npart of tho seller that is almost irrestible.\nThis may call for further particulars\nand result in a mental attitude of defer-\nriug tho purchase until somo time when\nNOTARY PUBLIC\nc\nS.

He had travelled\nfrom Ceylon to England to confer with\ntho commander-in-chief on the subject,\nand was on his way back when, iu his\nhotel in Paris, he read in the newspapers\nthat tho nature of tho charges had beeu\nmade public. Then he went to his room\nand shot himself.\n\"Of course,\" said the censorious world,\n\"if he had been innocent he would have\nfaced his accusers and put them to confusion. He killed himself because ho realized that he was a rained man, and preferred to die rather than endure tlio infamy in store for him as a convicted criminal.\"\nBut it seems that the world's judgment\nwas wrong. A commission has been investigating the charges against Macdonald and it has issued its report summing\nup the results of its investigations. This\nreport states \"that there is no visible\nparticle of truth for the foundation of\nany charge of crime;\" that \"the late sir\nHector Macdonald has been cruelly assassinated by vile and slanderous tongues,\"\nand that the stories to his discredit wero\n\"pro-iiptedby feelings of spite aud jealousy.\"\nThe mistake mado by the world was\nowing to its inability to appreciate the\nquality of a soldier's sense of honor..\nWhen poor Macdonald learned that the\nhorrible charges against him were the\ntheme of current gossip\u2014that, his name\nwas being spoken with loathing by thousands of tongues and with ribaldry by\nthousands more\u2014that even though he\ncould establish his innocence, ho could\nnever outlive the shame of being put on\nhis defence against such charges, is it any\nwonder that his despair was so great as to\ndrive him to suicide? Ho had risen from\nthe ranks and his honor as an officer and\na gentleman was his most precious possession. He felt his honor to be smirched by\neven a suspicion of a crime ou his part;\n.KfX_K\u00ablrl_itlrVL'4-__4-V\u00bbA 1llll-ki\/\\-*n4>n1 mi*\u2022*-.\u201e .ni-L_l..i..M ..-\nno iiciu\u2014ixrnv\u2014 uno\u2014imuiui ini\u2014jjai u~\\iJL~*JiuZl-~\nself\"\u2014his reputation. Life he felt was\nuot worth living, aud iu his frenzy ho\nended it.\nIt is easy to say that it would havo been\nfar wiser and braver to have faced the\nfaced the charges and lived down tho disgrace of them. Sir Hector would perhaps\nhave realized this, and lived, if he had\nthought over the situalion for an hour or\ntwo. But it is hard for a man in a frenzy\nof despair to think out n problem coolly\u2014\nand then, thero was his servico revolver\nat btmd, with its easy, quick solution of\ntlio problem.\nAnd so ono more is added to the roll of\nnoble aud heroic men and women who\nwere \"done to death with slanderous\ntongues,\"whom the world once spoko of\nwith scorn, but whoso names havo gathered frcsh lustre from tlio pity which is\nawakened by the pathos and tragedy of\ntlioir history.\u2014Rossland Minor.\nFerguson Feeling Better.\nFerguson did not experience it growth\nduring tho past season that caino up to the\nexpectations, but tho district miwlo great\nadvancement, The season was very wet\nand cold, wmto of tho inining coniimnies\ndid Hot start operations till Into ana several of our milling men wore late returning from the outside.

Resolutions\nwere passed approving an outline\nfor such a plan as will give China\na national monetary system which\nwill promote the development of its\ngreat resources and international\ntrade.\n\"As regards Mexico, the project\nof monetary reform was recommended in the most encouraging\nand favorable way, and it is the\nunanimous opinion of European\nfinanciers that the gold standard\nwill bring to Mexico a new era of\nprosperity and that European and\nAmercan capital will come to Mexico in greatly increased quantities:\nthat it will help to build new railroads and will promote all branches\nof private and public work.\n\"The resolutions of the five conferences will no doubt have a great\ninfluence on the new monetary systems which the silver using countries are contemplating establishing. Such a reform means the perfection of the monetary system of\nthe world and the international\ntrade of every country will very\nsoon rest on the gold unit. It wiil\nact as a powerful lever to develop\ninternational trade and to give full\nprotection to the capital of gold using countries in those using silver.\"\ndo business?

The metallurgical production includes 174,892 tons of\nspelter and 128,282 tons of lead;\nlitharge, 2,516 tous.\nSPAN IS a LEAD AND ZINC KXPOBTS.\nStatistics compiled by the Revista\nMinera show that the lead exports\nfrom Spain during the first six\nmouths of 1903 included 68,340\ntons of\nspelter\nzinc ore, 1,038\n1,451 tons of lead\ntons of\nore and\n76,835 tons of pig lead.\nMexico is the country for monopoly and protection. In order to\ngive one man a cinch a duty of\n8210 a ton has been placed on dynamite. It is not all honey for\ninining men in Mexico. Duties\nand taxes are oppressive. They\nare taxed S10 a year on every 2i-\nacres, and when a mine commences\nto produce a percentage of all the\nore sold goes to the government.\nIJ.

In color\nit is gray of various shades from a\nlight tint to a dark brown or even\nblue. Its texture is compact and\nw^nT^mo^ik^aT\" slate\". When\nstruck with a hammer it rings,\nand hence is popularly called clinkstone. When freshly broken the\nfaces will be found lo have a curved\nsurface, or, as mineralogists say. it\nha?, a conchoidal fracture, like the\nsurface of a shell. Examined under\nthe glass it will be found to be\ndotted with long, thin and glassy\ncrystals of the mineral neplwline.\nBecause gold has been found in and\nnear dykes of plmlonite at Cripple\nCreek, it does not follow that the\nmetal can be expected wherever\nelsewhere the mineral occurs.\nPhonolite i\u00ab a fairly abundant rock,\nand vast areas of it are known to\nbe totally free of gold ore.\nAn effort is being made to drive a\ndeep drainage tunnel between Rig\nand Little Eutte creeks, Butte\ncounty, to tap the underground\nwatercourses that have prevented\ndrift mining of the ancient placer\nchannels capped by lava in that\nsection.
