Whelan's ranch, we\nare glad to hear is gradually recovering,\nMr. D. Nicholson will soon have his\ncrew of men wonting on the road between Benvoulin and Kelowna, to\nditch, grade and gravel it. This is a\nmuch-needed improvement and will\ngive satisfaction to parties who generally use it.\n.. A new addition has been made to the\nschool house at Okanagan Mission,\nwhich was rendered necessary by the\nincreased number of scholars. The\nnew paint, picket fence and other improvements make the school house\nlook quite iu Keeping with its surroundings,\nMr. D. Nicholson is sending some\nmen to clear the trail between Okanagan Mission and Penticton. This is\nnecessary, as it is badly blocked with\nfallen timlier, and it is a trail that is\"\nvery much used in the summer time\nand may bo required for the convey\nance of mails in the winter.\nMr. Balagno has proved himself a\nrecord breaKer in the matter of raising\nchicKens, having hatched, with the\nincubator 147 chicKs out of 163 eggs.\nHe has at present about700 chicKs running around, and says he his only just\nstarted operations. He deserves the\ntitle of the \"OKanagan ChicK King.\"\nNearly everything that is being\nshipped out of (he valley at the present time is going east and not west.\nThere has been a reduction made in\nfreight rates to the west, but no mention of reduced rates east. For fruits\nand vegetables, owing to competition\nfrom California, tlie eastern market\nis the more valuable.\nThe OKanagan Hop Company intend\nbuilding a large dry Kiln to accommodate all tho small holders, The location of Ihe same will probably be on\nMr, Dell's ranch. This will lie a great\nconvenience to those having a small\nacreage under crop, and is jusl, what is\nwanted, The company undertaKing\nthe same deserve fo be commended for\ntheir energy.\nMining men across the line appear to\nbo scared that the working of the hydraulic claims ou the Upper Siniilkameen will so fill up the river with tailings that valuable deposits in Ihe river\nbed in American territory will covered\nup, They insist Hint the tailings\nshould be kept in our own territory.\nNot, long since a correspondent writing to this paper complained that \"even\neggs would only fetch fifteen cents per\ndi zen in I he local ma eke!,\" Itmay, therefore, bea consolation lo him and oilier\ndrillers ill hen fruit on this side nf the\nline to know that they are bettor off\nthan our neighbors just across the border, Eggs at Liioinii-inn aro quoted\nseven dozen for one dollar. This keeps\nthe fowls in that section, however, iu\neggshcllent order.\nOutside parties are already negotiating for this season's hop crop in tho\nMission Valley. This speaKs for itself.\nThe parties in Winnipeg who purchased Mr. Dell's crop of hops last fall\nwere so well pleased with them that\nthey wrote recently to inquire whether\nany still remained on hand, and If so\nthey slated that l.hey were prepared to\nadvance live cents per pound ill price.\nAt Ihe present rate the vines are growing around Benvoulin customers will\nbe Kept waiting only a short time.\nThe present scarcity of potatoes, together with the high price, should\nsurely awaken Ihe people of the Okanagan Mission and other valleys fo the\nfact that the Kootenay and coast mar-\n$2.00 per Year.\nkrls aro not, after all, s i very faraway\nfrom them. For years post, in the fall,\nafter tho in-gathering of crops, it has\nbeen the custom for the ranchers to\ngrowl and grumble at the low prices,\nand the necessltj of storing vegetables,\netc., over winter, At ihe present time\nall will agree that the difference in\nprice from $10 per ton in the fall to $20\nper ion in ihe spring, is a splendid re.,\nnumeration for any extra trouble they\nin.'.y have been put to, and with this\neuconragemont before them, it is pleasing lo note (hat iinich more attention\nis being paid to this crop, mora extensive acreage than formerly being the\nresult. Willi a suitable soil, ami propel' care and attention, there should be\nno difficulty in realizing $100 por aero\nal this price, with fair rates foe ship,\ninenf ,iii,l a ready market. There is no\nreason wliy we should not. supply the\nAustralians with a good many tons in\nUn near future, which would tend to\nbenefit.

The cattle are all iu good\ncondition.\nWord comes from Granite that a\ncompany recently formed is sending in\n1 lot of new hydraulic machinery, and\nthat in all likelihood active operations,\nwill begin early in the summer. All\nthe benches on lower Granite are said\nlo he already staked out, and from the\nresults of the practical tests lately\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2node, ii, would seem that the big strike,\nof a fe A' years back is to be repeated.\nFarmers in this valley are rapidly\nfelling in with tbe idea that this is a,\nplaco admirably adapted for fruit cul.\nture, judging from the great number\nof trees coming in this spring, With\nthe great natural advantages possessed\nby this district. I may safely predict\nHint in u very few years this will be a\nCa'ifoi uia iu miniature. It is conceded\nnow by all who are at all conversant;\nwith the subject that we can grow\nmore highly flavored fruit, than it is\npossible to gi'ow in the much-boasted\nsouthern clime, and with the advent of\ni railroad in the near future there is\nno plausible reason why this should\nnot become one of tiie leading fruit-\nexporting districts of western North\nAmerica.\nNow that our paternal government\nhas its eagle eye fixed upon our breezy\nbeauteous valley, we may, no doubt,\nexpect great favors. Hitherto iho\nlight shed by Ihe central luminary at\nVictoria failed to penetrate the recesses of this mountain fastness, but\nnow an appropriation has been made\nfor repairing our waggon road. Now,\nin no sense of the term is it my wish to\nbe looked upon or to be termed a\n\"chronic growler,\" but in my humble\nestimation eight hundred dollars is\nentirely inadequate for the repairing of\nforty miles of ihe worst road in the inferior. Looking ai, the way in which\nwe have been almost altogether ignored in the past, al the small amount\nof money that has eve! been spent ill\nhere, and above all at the present requirements of this rapidly growing\ncommunity, I think thai a few hundred\ndollars more might be glvon, X,\nNew Leaching Process.\nPrfoosBOr R. H, Bliven, chemist and\nassaycr, of Loomiston, Wash., has,\naccording to Ihe Journal, of that town,\nperfected a gold-saving process that\nbids fair to attract more than ordinary\nattention in the mining world, It will\nundoubtedly prove of greal value in\nmany a district where refractory ores\nare to la- encountered, and it is equally\nvaluable in handling freemilling ores,\nAs a matter of course, the professor,\ndoes uot divulge Ihe nature of his coin-\npounds for treating ores, lint he stands,\nprepared lo demonstrate bis process;\nBelow is the method, except fhu\nnames of the compounds!\nA lixiviaiion or leaching process, in\nwhich a chemical solution having energetic solvent powers for gold, iron or\nippor, but rendering lead, antimony\nand silver insoluble, is leached through\nthe fine ore pulp in tanks. After set.\ntling, Ihe clear solution is drawn off\nand the gold precipitated by a siniplu\nand cheap precipitant that throws,\ndown only the gold, separating it from\nibe other metals,\nThis new gold solvent is much more\nenergetic I ban chlorine gas, and much\neasier t/i handle, and can be made\ncheaply. A solution containing from,\none-tenth of one per cent, lo one per.\ncent, has been more than amply sufficient for all ores so far tried,\n\"Tlie solvent,''says Professor BllVi\nen, \"seems nol, to have been tried be-,\nfore, and works on chemistry hut\nbarely mention it as a compound of\nlittle Interest, lis cost is not greater\nthan a good article of cyanide of po-.\ntassium, and either of several pre-.\ncipitants can be used ala nominal cost.\nSo far, very close to the assay value of\nthe ores lias been obtained, Expert,\nincuts on a larger scale, will hij ntadc)\nand every lest, made as to the cdiuiftei.\ncial value of Ibis new process,\"\n& 3\n-feSS-^sa&ii\" ,.-..\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 a*Ti8\u00C2\u00A3S\u00C2\u00BB*s5;\nTIIE ADVANCE.\nOTTA11T k N0BRI8 PkOWIIOTOIIS.\nPublished weekly nt Falrviow, Okanagan, I I.e.\nSubtorlpUon Prloo, {2.00 per oTnum. payalilo\npi ndvanoo, either yearly or Udlf-yoarlj al tbo\noption ol tho aiibscrlbor,\nAdvertising Rates colli ,.n npplloatioii.\nThough the columns of The Advance arc\npjwaya (Jpeii for llie dhfcusslon of maltcr, of\nVjulil;: inliTcsi und importance, we do nol nee-\nbesaarily endorao any of the opinions cxiin - d.\nporroapondoucc of a porsoual nature ,vlll nol lie\ntiubii.-jlied.\nimDRSDAY, MAY %k 1801.\nWe must remind .e,nr subscribers thai\nSubscriptions to this paper are payable\nstrictly in advance.

Nemo.\nKettle Kiver, May 11,\nTo the editor of Tub Advance :\nSir\u00E2\u0080\u0094I am glad lo see that some one\nhas taken an interest, at last, in tho\nagricultural development of Kettle\nKiver, nnd should Mr. Norris carry out\nthis Initial process of persuading I Iu\nranchers to exhibit produce and fruit\nnext fall at Vernon file result will not\nbe dlsappqlptlng to him, and, I doubl\nnot, will surprise a few of tho up\ncounlryiles who believe this part ol\nU. C. to be the fag-end of creation.\nThe work that Mr. Norris has before\nhim will be to draw tho caHchprS out\nfrom that lethargic statu borne of long\ncontempt and neglect, and the result\nant closing in, or telescoping, ns it\nwore, of the heillty pride and competition of a new settlement with tin.\nolder ones.
