At first Ymir seemed to be\nhaving a walk away, and at the end\nof the second innings, the seore stood\nat 9 to 0 in luvor of Ymir. Then Yniir\nmade one or two errors, so that by the\nend of tho first half of the last innings\nthey had only added one run, while\nSalmo had piled up II. A wild\nthrow by tho Salmo pitcher in the\nlast innings, however,enabled Ymir to\nseme a couple of runs and win the\ngame. Probably half a dozen runs\nwere thrown away by the Ymir buys\nin their over anxiety to eteal bases,\nand iu taking two many ebiinccs in\nbase running Dr. Doherty was\nreferee and his decisions were us usual\ngiven with the greatest impartiality.\nThe only serious objection raised to\nthem was by a spectator, named Saw\nycr, who contracted a sudden hallucination that he was himself the n\nferec, and delayed the game for a\nwhile. The Doctor, however, under-\nStood tl.e proper treatment of such\nhallucinations, und Mr. Sawyer was\nquickly undeceived.\nAfter the match there was some\ndiscussion as to the disposition of tho\ncup won iu the match against Nelson\nnn the 24th, May As the team\nwhich heat Nelson was composed of\nboth Ymir and Salmo players, (I \u2022\u2022\ncuptiiin of the hitter team, suggested\nthai the two tennis play for it, eitln r\none, three or live mulches.

' Conditions have somewhat altered since the\nlast public discussion, and it may be\nthut there are now more adherents to\nthe proposition than formerly. Tho\n\u25a0jiiestioii is one which neods to be\nthoroughly examined on all sides, before any stop is taken, and in order\nto arrive at tho pros and cons of tho\nsituation, we offer our columns to all\ntlmse who may have arguments to advance for or against the idea.\nTo all appearances, the opening up\nof the East Kootenay Oil lands, will\nbring more American capital into\nl'.ritish Columbia, than has come in\nduring a good many years previous.\nAlready a large number of licences\n,havo beon issued to American syndicates, some of which represent largo\ncapital. Tho Standard Oil Company\nis known to bo looking'into the possibilities of the district, whilst other\nlarge companies or. the other side, are\nexploring the coal resources If tho\nlund in question, in tiny way comes]\nup to tlio reputation it has acquired,\nit. will shortly form one of the busiest\nmining districts in the Province\nat 128,330 ounces against 'JSt.H.ll\nounces for the preceding twelve\nmouths, showing a gain    of    si>.    pel\nCillt .\nThe most noticeable increase has\nhow-over been in the case of silver\nand lead production. In the lust six\nmonths 2-.D37.0l61 ounces of silver\nhave been produced as against 2,996,-\n201, for Ihe whole of 1903, a gain of\n36 per cent.. Iu lead the increase is\neven greater showing 10,500,000\npounds for tin-half year against 18,\n098,283 for tho whole year proceeding, here the iucroase is no less than\n82 per cent, or nearly double. Copper 17,513,886 pounds for the half\nyear agaiiiBt 34,359,921 for the proceeding year. Tabulating these results we lind a noticeable increase iu\nevery instance at the following rates:\nGold Increase       0 per cent\nSilver .'.6\nLead 82\nCopper 2\nWhile these rates indicate the gain\nfor the first half of the year there is\nevery reason to believe that they will\nbe still larger after thu completion of\nthe year. The product of the gold-\ncopper mines will almost certainly be\nlinger during the second half of the\nyear than during the first, in consequence of the recent merger in the\nBoundary, which will have the effect\nof bringing forward a new und heavy\nproducer. In the silver lead department, the gain will even be more\nnoticeable IV. bounty on lead\nmining has been a wonderful stimulus\nto that industry but its full elfect\nwill be more noticeable during the\nsecond year of its application than\nduring the first.

Of course the answer to   the\nqueries would appear simple   enough,\nnamely, that the   interest   to   which\ntitle has not been  secured  are  alone\nsubject to the   regulations  governing\nthe   holding    of    uncrown grunted\nmineral locations.

Until the present time all\ntho lead pipe used in Canada has come\nfrom   abroad,   notwithstanding  that,\nthe silver-lead mines of British  Columbia produce an excess of the  raw j\nmaterial required to   meet  the  total!\nconsumption of manufactured lead  in\nCanada.

This step is  decidedly\nin the right direction, and is  an   excellent indication of the improvement\nthat is gradually being brought about\niu industrial conditions in this   country.\nAnother rather curious anomaly,\nmeanwhile, iu the facj. that all the refined Bilver produced in British Columbia is sent out of the country, only\nlast week 70,000 ozs. having been\nshipped to China.

As it\ngoes on Canadian trade with the far\neast must expand; il cannot do so to\nany appreciable extent unless that\nawakening comes. As China emerges\nfrom tho slumber of centuries the yellow peril, as it is popularly called,\nmust recede. It is not very long\nsince Japan was in as bad a condition\nas China, yet today she is the ally of\nBritain. While we d\u00bb not look for so\nrapid a transformation in China as\nthat which tool; place in the laud of\ntho Cherry Blossom, one may confidently believe that as China assumes\nthe ways of western civilization the\ntalk of yellow peril will   become   less.\nThe cry has been made that Japun\nand China will unite to war upon the\nCaucasians. From time to time we\nhave given opinions of eminent public\nmen of all nations, including Japan,\nshowing that tho later country at\nleast has no secret designs in this\ndirection, Wo may, in fact, look upon the suggestion us principally of\nHussian origin, designed to minimize1\nthe Sympathy which most of tho\npowers feel for the Mikado's troops\niu their conflict with the bear.\u2014 Vancouver world.\nTho atmospheric pressure upon the\nsurface of an ordinary mun is 32,400\npounds.
