It might have been\nwritten on four pages or less. In fact\nthe one word ' bosh,' is all that was\nnecessary in reporting on a proposal to\ninstitute prohibition. Prohibition is\nnot the cure for drunkenness, There\nis only one way to cure it. Treat a\ndrunkard as a lunatic is treated. Send\nhim to a special asylum where the\nvarious cures can be tried on him, and\nkeep him there till they kill him or\ncure him,\"\nThis may, or may not, be an efficient\ntitude of treatment, at any rate it\nsounds a little harsh, Granting, bow-\never, that the Milter's views could be\nput into practise, may we be permitted\nto follow Iho argument further ?\nWhile tbe unfortunate drunkard behind his asylum walls is being physicked with the cores of Mr. Keeley\nand others, the greater sinner, the man\nwho aupplied the confirmed drunkard with the cause of . his miserable condition, basks in the sunshine of smiling prosperity. This\ndoes not commend itself to British\nsense of justice. The Miner should\ntherefore add to its proposition that\nthe dispensers of intoxicants should be\nIhe builders of the necessary asylums,\nand thu sole contributors to the support of the inmates. This, we think,\nwould even more effectually check con-\nArmed drunkenness than even prohibition,\n \u00E2\u0096\u00BA\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0096\u00A0<\t\nFOREIGN MINING NOTES.\nSHIPMENTS I-'ROSI TRAIL CBEEK.\nSeven hundred tons of ore ure being\nshipped weekly from the Trail creek\nmines into the United States.\nLOW SMELTER CHARGES,\nThe proprietors of the Josie arc congratulating themselves upon Ihe low\nprice charged by-the smelter for the\ntreatment of llieir ore, which is only 10\ncents per ton.

His dead body was reeov.\nered after several boors' hard work.\nAN UNEXPECTED FIND,\nCharles Sweeney, the well-knows\nmining operator, brought news from\nTrail creek, B. C, to Spokane, that has\neniiched the prospects of the stock*\nholders of the War Eagle mine $1,1X10,.\n000. A parallel vein of ore has beeq\ndiscovered in this mine, greater in\nrichness than the vein now being oper.\nated. The discovery was accidental,\nAlthough the mine has heen consid.\nered a bonanza since early in its de.\nvelnpuient, it wns never suspected that\nanother and richer vein existed. The\nKansas City Smelting Company, nbout\na month ago offered $1,000,000 for the\nmine, hut Ihe majority of the stockholders wanted more.

Vegetables are beginning to\n(show above the ground, and hay crops\nJook decidedly promising,\nThe Kettle river last Wednesday\nrose to n ithin two or three feet of the\nheight reached during the unprecedented flood of last year. This large\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0volume of water flowing at the present\ntime is all the more extraordinary, as\nthe winter was extremely mild, and\ntherefor the snow on the hills not so\ngreat as is usual.\nBeing of a modest disposition, Dr.\nJakes will probably resent any allusion to the plucky way in which he\nacted on Friday night last. The doctor, as we have.announced, was unfortunate enough to break his leg ou\nWednesday, aud yet, barely forty-\neight hours within the occurrence of\nthe accident, he insisted on visiting a\npatient who was in need of his atten\n(inn. Such conduct is in the highest\ndegree praiseworthy.\nA happy event took place on Thursday last, the 21st of May, in the marriage nf Mr, Bart Inghrnm to Miss\nSusie McClung. The wedding service\nwas held al tbe house of Mr.JKcougli,\ntti Colville. Mr. and Mrs. Inghram returned on Friday to Midwuy; antl took\nup their abode iu their house near Ihe\nhotel, which recently was comfortably\nfinished in the inside. Mr. Inghram is\nwell aud favorably known throughout\nthe district, and his bride is not a\nstranger to the people of Midway. We\nham Lily join in the the geneiul expression of good wishes to thu happy\ncouple,\nOn Saturday a farmer was offering\nfor sale iu Midway, a waggon-load of\napples, for the very respectable sum of\n$3 per Imx of 60 lbs. The apples were\nbrought from Colville, and were fair\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0specimens of the Northern Spy variety\nin excellent condition. The owner\nstated that he bad experienced no difficulty in disposing of his fruit in\nGrand Prairie at $3.50 per box. Surety when such prices its thesu re obtainable, with a climate fully the equal\nto that, of Colville, the farmers of this\ndistrict would find it to their advantage Lo turn their attention to apple\nculture.\nMr.'IIaine is expecting next week a\nlarge consignment of goods, and to\nlieing the barber and tobacconist he\nwill further liecome the toyman, stationer, druggist, and bookseller of the\nvillage. Mr. Haine certainly deserves\nto succeed, for he is showing much enterprise and pluck in the face of, what\nSome might consider, averse conditions.\nFor instance, in ordering a small supply pf tobacco lust week, some thirty\npounds, he fqund upon delivery that\nthe expressage aggregated nearly $4\nfrom Vancouver. To make a profit on\ngoods, such as tobacco, while these\noutrageously exorbitant express rates\nnra enforced, is out of the question.\nThe many friends of Dr. Jakes, resident physician of this district, will regret to near of the unfortunate accident which befell him hist Wednesday.\nTlie horse the doctor was riding lost\nils footing and full oh the sloping entrance to the livery stable, which had\nbecome slippery from the ruin. So\nquickly did I his occur that the doctor\nhad no time to take his feet from the\nstirrups, iiiid consequently he received\nIhe full weight of the animal on his\nlight leg, fracturing it below (he knee,\nDr. Jakes was taken to the Midway\nHotel, where the injured limb was soon\nattended to.

This\n'Instrument was milled an enduing\" tally,\nand, by virtue of it, the holder was entitled to KH*u|yo from the crown the vnluo\nprescrilwd Itaoon.

Fnr tho advantage ef\nthose who could read the sum was written tn Ink on two opposite Bides of tho\nstaff, and, finally, with a knlfo and mallet the sniff Itself was split ln two longitudinally. One half, called Iho (ally, or\ncheck, was given to tlio person for whoso\nservice It was Intended; tho other half,\ncalled the counter tally, was laid up for\nsafe keeping until lls corresponding tally\nshould he brought In liy tho person who\nhad last given valuo for It.\nIts Intrinsic vnluo was, of course, only\nthat of tho wuod of which It was composed, bnt, by representation, It denoted large\nsums.

Recent statistics show that 11\nexist*, to an oxtont inconceivable to any\nperson a generation ago, in college students. - And this Ignoranoe Is disclosed not\nIn attempted religious Instruction, but in\nthe study uf tlio unlluary branches of a\nliterary education tn our universities oni\ncolleges. Tho pupils are entirely unable\nto' understand n groat mass of illusions\nln the masterpieces of English poetry and\nprose. Borne of those pupils are viotims\nnf tho ldoa that tho Bible shuuld not be\nreed by tho young, for they will bo prejudiced tn a religious way before their\nminds are mature onuugb to select a roll,\ngion for themsolves. Now, wholly apart\nfrom Its religious and from its ethical\nvalue, tho Bible Is tho ono book that no\nIntelligent person who wishes to come Into contact with the world of thought and\n.to share tho ideas of tho great minds of\nthe Christian era can afford to bo Ignorant of. All modern literature and all art\nare permeated with it. There Is scarcely\na great work ln tlio languages that can bo\nfully understood and enjoyed without this\nknowledge, so full Is tt of Illusions nnd\nIllustrations from the Bible. This is\ntrue of fiction, of poetry, of economic and\nuf philosophic wurks, and also of the\nscientific and even agnostic treatises. I,\nIs not at all a question of religion, or tho,\nplogy, ur nf dogma, It Is a question ot\ngeneral intelligence. A buy or a girl at\ncollege, ln tho presence of the wurks so,\nfor olthor to master, without a fair kow.\nlodge uf tho Bible, is an Ignoramus, and\nIs disadvantaged accordingly. It is In it-\npelf almost a liberal cducal Inn, as ninny\ngreat masters In literature havo testified,\nIt has so entered Into law, literature,\nthough tho whole mudcrn llfo uf the\nChristian world that Ignorance uf tt Is a\npiost serious disadvantage to the student.\nHow this is to bo overcome In our mn,\nphlno system Is a gravo question. It re,\nsuits partly from tho discontinuance of\n|ho use of tho Bible In tho public schools,\nput mnro especially from tho ohango iq\n|he estimation ln which It Is hold ln the\nfamily. In comparison with Its position\n|n the family a general ion ago, It Is now\na neglected bcKik. It Is neglected as litem,\nturn. There nre sevorol suggestions fo>\nreviving Interest in It. One nf them le\nalready ln uperatlon ln Sunday school\nwork. Another Is Its study ns literature\n|n the schools nnd colloges. But wo bo,\njlovo that tho change will only como\neffectively by nttentlon to tho fundamental\ncause uf this Ignorance, tho neglect of Its\nuse ln the homo in childhood. If its great\ntreasures are not a part of growing\nohllillioou, lhey will always bo external of\ntho late possessor. In tho family Id\nwhere this education must begin, and It,\nwill then tie, ns ll used to be, an easy and\nunconscious I'duoalIon, a stimulus to tho\nImagination, nud n ready koy to the great\nworld of tradition, custom, history, lltoro,\nturn.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Harper's Magazine,\nTHOS.

He received in reply an answer directing a neai.t-h in tt\niiuyinow as the must likely spot for\nsuch an article, Tlie facelious reply,\nhowever, loses its point, if the following from a correspondent of the Mont,\nreal Herald bus any 'truth : Few people believe ill the divining rod as a\nlueaiis for locating minero* veins, In\nact, it is generally regarded us a fake,\nut last fall two parties came here\nfrom Toronto to prospect in this way.\niThey had not only ti divining rod, but\nlilso a new theory us to the mode of\noccurrence of the gold leads in this district. -Tbey maintained that the num-\neroiis small gold hearing veins on the\nsurface were mere croppings of large\nmother lodes thut hud been covered\nover with lava Hows and drift. They\nlocated several of such lodes, und in\nthe most unlikely places. The old\nfrospectois and miners laughed or\nhook their beads, and especially when\nthe parties claimed to be able to tell\nthe percentage of mineral in the ore\nand the exact depth uf each ludc below\nthe groimij, But iu two casus, tine\nnearMurkslay nud the other in lbe\ntownship of Oreighton, the diamond\ndi ill has proved, strange us it may\nseem, Unit lhey were not so fur aslmy\nafter all. In the one case Ibey found\ngold aud platinum at 10) feet from tbe\nS|*rfuce, and iu the othor case free gold\nat a depth of 180 feet. These are undeniable facts. They say there is\nmother large gold and silver lode nn\nlilt 4, cave 1, Deiiison, a few miles from\nhe once famous Vermillion mine.\n \u00E2\u0096\u00BA-\u00E2\u0099\u00A6<\t\nKaalo's Hallway.\nThere cnn he no doubt now of the\nconstruction of the Kaslo and Slocan\nrailway this summer. Fully three carloads of supplies were purchased by the\ncontractors last week in Victoria, from\n8. Leiser k Go. The contract has been\nawarded to Messrs, Faley is Guthrie, nl\nSt. Paul, well known in railway construction circles. A. Guthrie, the\njunior partner of the linn, was in Spokane a few days since, accompanied liy\nObits. Hallcot, engineer in charge,\nBoth gentlemen were looking over the\nground, prior to commencing work,\nlu answer to a query as to when the\nwork of construction would begin, he\nsaid it was impossible at this time lo\nstate diflnitely. The final surveys are\nbeing made, and when completed,\njvhich he said would he soon, the work\nnf construction will be commenced.\nThe present trip, he staled, Is being\nmade largely for the purpose of looking up matters relative to securing supplies, etc., for the work of construction.\n . ,,\u00E2\u0080\u0094,\u00E2\u0080\u0094,\npood Times ln Kootenay.\nNever were so many men drawing\nf'ay in Kootenay as now, says the Nel-\n, on Tribune.

Some 200\nsiwusht's hud gathered about, and tin\ndeceased, placed in a etude box pro\ncured from one Boston man, which\nwas usi-il as a coffin. The solemn ceremony wus commenced liy prayers and\nsinging.
