A rich, strike of gold quartz was reported la'st'weelc from'.the Follow Me claims situate on Perry creek. . Prosperity in the Fort Steele district during Lhe, past, year is reflected by the output of the big silver,lead mines of the district\/ . Unless all signs fail the St. Mary's district, will soon be famous as, a large producer of , copper.

There is greater activity in ' the district surrounding Fort Steele than has been evident for several years. - Active work is in progress on tho Star group of mines in the mountains-east of Tanglefoot creek. The prospects on the Dupont group are exceedingly bright, tho vein is large,\" the chute long, and the ore is of a payable grade. On Perry creek are located a large number of very promising . gold mines. During the past month several new properties have been staked Fort, Steele is the center of * a large and rich gold mining district. Fort Steele is getting more honor in \"lhe minds of people away from here than among her own citizens. Some forty or fifty men are now engaged in developing the Kitchener iron mines. It is reported that a contract for 100,000 feet of lumber for the Sullivan mine, has. been secured by Finch & Jones. There are at present 800 men at work on the new railway that is being built from Jennings to the Boundary. The price of-lead oh the London market is on the increase.

Jt is'-'an open question as to whether the smelter will be constructed at Marysville. or . on Mark creek near the mines. An\"application has been made for 2.000 inches of- water for smelter purposes, to .be taken 'from Mark creek,- at the lower falls near Marysville. 'Another point fo be determined is whether the smelter will be built this fall or next spring.- A number of the directors, representing the conlroling interests in fhe Sullivan mine, visited the property this week. A brickyard is now being established near Marysville, and it is said that a contract has been made for the manufacture of l,2;i0,000 brick. MIMICS IN Till''' ROCKIES. Within a few utiles of Fort Steele there is a mineral bolt on which a large number of locations have been made. It begins on the western slope of lhe Rocky mountains near the international boundary, and extends beyond the northern boundary of the districi into North East Kootenay. At various points along this range of mountains there are mining camps, which have mining properties already developed beyond the experimental stage and which promise to become largo and productive mines. PERRY CREEK, y\" There is no possibility of a doubt but that Perry creek has a large number of gold quartz propositions that are. rapidly being developed, and that the time has arrived when it is necessary for machinery to place the properties on a paying,basis. . BADGER AND KKD \"MOUNTA IN. This properly has been systematically developed \"during the past two years. Present'developments consist, of 2-10 feet of tunnels, 125 feet of shafts, and about 70 feet of open cuts. Two large.veins traverse the claims, having a width of lfi and 40 feet. Work for the past month has been confined to sinking on the vein. No. X shaft is down 40 feet, a cross-diift at this depth- shows the vein lfi feet in width. No. 4 .shaft is down 12 feet following a rich pay chute two feet'in width which is gradually widening. - The whole' lead carries gold in paying quantities but the pay chute is exceedingly rich carrying a.s high as $300 in gold'to the ton.

McKini & Co., Montreal,\nannounces the publication of the\nIhird edition of this valuable\nbook. Like its predecessors the\nwork i.s a very complete and interesting handbook of Canadian\n( newspapers, and all that jipper-\n\u2022 tains thereto. \"It i.s useful' as a\nbusiness directory, because a\ncarefully prepared synopsis is\ngiven of each' (own in which a\nnewspaper i.s published.\nThe Directory .contains com-\n-, pfetc lists of newspaper towns,\narranged alphabetically,by Pro-'\nviiices, with,ample details as to\ntho issue, publishers \/politics and\nestimated circulation of each\npaper. Similar lists condensed\nfor ready reference, a' list of\ndaily papers, a list of newspapers by counties and a1 classified list-showing lhe many\ndifferent 'kinds of papers pub;\nlished in'Canada make this a\nthoroughly complete newspaper\ngazetteer.\nOne of the best features of fhe\nwork is a sot of special maps of\nthe different Provinces, showing\nonly the towns in which papers\nare published., These maps are\nenclosed in a convenient envelope\ninstead of being bound in the\nbook as formerly, which, makes\nIliem more ' convenient to\nhandle. - ' - '\nTho publication of this Newspaper Directory every alternate\nyear is certainly a commendable\nenterprise* on tho part of nMel-Tim's Advertising ' Agency,'\n.which -seems'to ,. be very progressive and up td'date in every\nrespect. \u25a0 \u25a0 \u25a0'\n\/ God Leads Us'\n.In-the valley of Norway the\nbird-lover caged the young in\nth,o nesl, and' kept the'birds'in\nprison'until the days, in August,\nwhen all,, the'\"'Norwegian birds\nwere moving southward. Until\nlater days when the woods were\nsilent, at least, searching, every\nthorn hedge, without' finding a\ntrace of a migrating bird, the\nscientist returned home to'say\nthat when the storm had passed\nho would release the birds' that\nnow were left without a guide.\nti\nOne sunny morning in October,\nwhen he felt sure that they could\nmake their way in safety south,\n-he took them to the top of a\nhigh hill, to see whether the\nhoming instinct ' would<\u2022,. guide\nthem. \u25a0 ,\n\u25a0 For an hour they fluttered\nabout in the trees, but ,'they\nwanted\" not food, for they had\nbeen fed. They were taking\ntheir bearings. Then they rose\ninto the air, and then, straight\nas a bee line, following the homing instinct, they ^started toward\nthe soft, southern climes of Italy\n, and north of Africa, and through\nthe trackless < air these lone\nwanderers were not lost, for\nwhen another spring came, lo!\none morning with his glass the\nscholar saw two of his birds, the\nsilver thread gleaming about the\nfoot, Hitting about on the\norchard grass of the June morning, back in their old home.'\nIs Clod and nature so kind to\nthe little birds, and so harsh to\nthe soul, big with eternal hopes,\nfollowing its instincts, as did\nbrave Socrates, out into the\nnight and the storm?\nFort Steele\nDiamond Jubilee\nHospital\nMISS FOI-SON.\nMATKON.\n(Ji.nlimli' of Si.
