Mr. Stork\nis a business man of Fernie whose reputation for integrity and lair detiliug has\nbeen recogn zed by the people.

F Robertson, provincial mineralogist, giving the\nmineral output of the province for the\nyear 1901, as follows :\n\"This estimate is based on the actual\nreturns of a number of the mines, and\nfor those mines from which returns have\nnot as yet been received, the output is\nbased upon their approxininle known\ntonnage for the last year, together wiih\nthe assays of the ores from the same\nmines for the previous year. You will\nnote that these are not given as final\nstatistics for the year, wl iei: can only\nbe obtained after all returns nre iu and\nchecked very carefully. These will be\nincluded in the annual report of the department which cannot he out for about\ntwo mouths yet. I hand you these figures now rather than wait for the final\nstatistics, as 1 believe tbe prompt publication of even an approximate official\nestimate, making so good a showing,\nill be of benefit to the province, and is\ngenerally desired by investors in uur\nmines,\n\"1 think you will find Ibis estimate\nconservative, and very approximate,\nquite sufficiently so to show lhe progress which has been made in the lining iuduslry during Lhe past year. In\ncalculating the values uf the products\nthe usual course has been followed and\nthe average price for the year in the\nNew York metal market has beeu 11 Bed\nas a basis.

Treatment and ore\ncharges have not been deducted Roughly-speaking the increase made in 1901\nover 1900 is 25 per cent on gross value ol\noutput of tbe province. This will be a\nvery agreeable surprise to many, as the\ncirculation of reports giving a contrary\nimpression hap caused a very despoudetil\nview to be taken of the progress of tbe\nmilling industry during 1901, which does\nnot seem to be warranted by the tacts.\nThere is an appreciable drop iu the\nplacer gold production, owing to tbe\nsudden melting of the snow last spriug,\ncausing freshets, and leaving a shortage\not water during the latter part of the\nseason.\n\"The tonnage of ore mined from the\nlode mines in the past year is about 871 -\n83a tons, equal to an increase of 317,036\nover the year 1900, a little more thai; 57\nper cent. There has been an increase in\ntbe output of all the metals with the exception of lead, the low p'.ice obtainable\nin this province for lead ores having discouraged this class of milling except\nwhere accompanied with good silver\nvalues. The gross value ol the copper\noutput has increased 200 pur cent over\n19m, while the lode gold has increased\n36 per cent and silver 14 per cent.\n\"The attached forms show lhe estimated production ofthe various metals and\nfor the various districts :\nThe Marvsville Smelter.\nJ.

There was a\nwoman p-ittlng there, quite close to\nhim, She meat have moved from the\nbuck of tho box since he had come, for\nbe wus certain that she was not there\nwhen he took his sunt.\nShe evidently had not noticed blm\nand believed herself unobserved.

Afllnilg'S\nfather, old Canute Ilusnhy, never went\nto bod on those nights without keeping\non at lenst his leather hreechea nud laying a good slum birch stick on the bod\nbeside him. \"If I have such n pretty\ndaughter,\" said old Canute, \"t must\nknow how to tulte care of her.\"\nThor Nesset wns only the son of a\npoor cottager, and yet folks snld that It\nwas he who went ofteucst to visit the\nfarmer's daughter nt Husnby. Of\ncourse old Canute was not pleased to\nhear this. Ue said it was not true;\nthnt, at any rate, he had never seen\nhim there. Still, they smiled nml whispered to each other that If he only had\nthoroughly searched the hayloft, whither Ashing had ninny un errand, he\nwould have found Thor there.\nSpring came, and Ashing went up the\nmountain with the cattle. And now,\nwhen the heat of the day hung over\ntho valley, the rocks rose cool and clear\nthrough the sun's misty rays, the cow\nhells tinkled, the shepherd's dog harked, Ashing sang her \"Jotlel\" songs and\nblew the cow horn, all the young men\nfelt their hearts grow sore and heavy\nns they gazed upon her beauty. And\non the first Saturday evening one after\nthe other they crept up the hill, but they\neil We down again qulchet than tlirj\nlind gone up, for at the top stood n man\nwho kept guard, receiving each one\nMho oanie up with sueh a warm reception that be all his life Ions remembered the words that nccoinpunled tho action, \"Come up hero again and there\nwill be still more In store for you!\"\nAll the young fellows could arrive at\nbut one conclusion\u00E2\u0080\u0094that there wns\nonly one man in the whole parish who\nhad such lists and that man was Thm\nNesset, All the rich farmers' daughters thought it was too bad that this\ncottager's son should stand highest In\nAshing lltisaby's favor.\nOld Canute thought (he samo when\nhe heard about It all and said thnt It\nthere were no one else who could check\nhim ho would do it himself. Now,\nCanute was certainly getting on In\nyears. Still, although he was past\nSixty, ho often enjoyed a gout] wrestling match with his eldest son whenever time indoors fell heavy ou bli\nbauds,\nThere was but ono path up to the\nmountain belonging to llusai.y, and it\nwent straight through tho farm garden,\nNext Saturday evening, us Thor was\nen his way lo the mountain, creeping\ncarefully across the yard, hurrying as\nsoon ns ho wus well past the farm\nbuildings, a man suddenly rushed nt\nhim.\n\"What tlo you want with inc.\" asked\nThor uml hit him such a blew lu the\nfare tbat sparks dam-ed before his\nej es.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2'V.m will sinm learn Hint.\" wild Bomt\nono else behind him ami gave him a\ngroal blow In tho buck of his neck I\nThat was asIiuiu'h brother,\n\"Ami here's the hired mini,\" said old\n[Canute ami attacked him also.\nj The greater the danger the grentet\nwan Thur's strength, lie was supple\nih a willow ami hit out right man- j\nflllly, Me dived ami he ducked.

Tuesday came, j\nii id It wus ii lovely day. Tho hills look- j\nul so fresh and groon.

Then ne\nthought of what Aslung's father bud\nsaid, \"If you can get up to her next\nSaturday without being stopped by Canine ami Ida men, the girl shall be\nyours.\" Over and over again he looked\nup at ilusahy farm, \"1 shall never see\nuuollier Chl'Utmas,\" thought Thor.\nAs beforo mentioned, there was but\nmi\" path up to Ilusahy hill, but surely\nliny Btroilg, able fellow must be able tu\nget to It, even though the direct way\nwere barred to blm. For Instance, if\nhe were to row round tho point yonder\nnml fasten bis hunt at the one side, It\nmight lie possible to Climb up there,\nalthough it was so very steep that the\ngoats had great dilllctilty In Climbing\nIt. uml they are not usually afraid of\nmountain work.\nSaturday came, nud Thor went out\nearly lu the morning. Tho clay wus\nmost beautiful. Thu situ shone so\nbrightly that the very bushes seemed\nallvo, Up on the mountain many voices\nwere \"Jodllng,\" nml there wns much\nblowing of horns. When evening came,\nhu wus silting at his cottage door\nwatching tho steaming mist rise up on\nthe hills. He looked upward, All was\nquiet. He looked over toward Husaby\nfarm, uml then be Jumped Into his boat\nnnd rowed away found the point.\nAshing sat before the hut. Her duy's\nwork was done. Sho was thluklng Thor\nwould not come that evening ami thnt\ntherefore many others might come Instead, so she unfastened the dog and\nwithout saying anything walked farther on. She sat down so that she\ncould see across the valley, but the\nmist was rising there und prevented\nher looking down. Then she chose\nanother pluce and without thinking\nmore about it sat down so that she\nlooked toward tho side where lay the\nfiord. It seemed to bring peace to her\nsoul when she could gaze far away\nacross the water.\nAs she sat there the fancy struck her\nthat she was Inclined to slug, so she\nchose a song with long drawn notes,\nnnd far and wide It Bounded through\nthe mountains. She liked to hear herself singing, so she began over again\nwhen the tlrst verso wus ended. But\nwhen she hud sung the second It seemed to her us though some ono answered\nfrom far down below. \"Dear me, what\ncan that be?\" thought Aslnug. She\nstepped forward to the edge and twined her arms nround a Blonder birch\nwhich hung trembling over the precipice nud looked down. But she could\nsee nothing, The fiord lay there culm\nami at rest. Not a slnirln bird skimmed\ntho water. So Aslaug sat herself down\nagain, and again she began to slug.\nOnce more came the answering voice lu\nthe same tones and neurer than the\nlirst time. \"That sound was no echo,\nwhatever IL may be.\" Aslang jumped\nto her feet and ngaln leaned over the\ncliff, mid there, down below, at the foot\nof the rocky wall, she saw a boat fastened. H looked like tt tiny nutshell,\nfor It was very far down. She looked\nagain and saw u fur cup nud under It\nthe ilgure of n man climbing up the\nsteep ami barren cliff.\n\"Who cnn it be?\" Aslnng naked hf-r-\nseir, nnd, letting go the birch, she step\nped back. She dared not answer her\nown question, but well she knew win-\nit was. She flung herself down ou tin\ngreensward, selziiin the grass with both\nhands, ns though it were she who dared\nnot loose her bold for fear of fulling.\nHut the grass came np by the roots,\nSlie screamed nloiid and dug her hands\ndeeper and deeper into the soil.
