Dining\nthe last three years nearly one mile of\nunderground development work Iuib\nbeen done on it. The vein has beeu\ndeveloped by a system of funnels, there\nbeing four on the property, all o( whl\nhave been driven directly on the vein,\nbesides numerous uprnises, cross-culs\nand winzes. While doing this work n\nlarge amount of concentrating ore bus\nneen piled up on the vaiious dumps and\nimmense bodies of tbe same character\nof ore blocked out in tbe mine. Although\ntbe Emily Edith is not a shipping mine\nstill some 1C0 tons of clean ore has been\nshipped from tbo property that has\nnetted the owners nbout $1000 to lhe car.\nThe character of the ore is of a concentrating nature and consists of blotches,\nstreaks and bunches of wavey steel\ngalenn scattered thickly through the\nledgo matter nnd gangue. Tho clean\ngalena will run from 00 to 130 ouncos in\nsilver to the ton nud from 45 to 00 per\nrent load.

Alter\nthis game was scored, iu the remainder\nof the half, a great deal of unnecessary\nrough playing was indulged iu, much to\ntlie delight of the spectators, the play\nbeing of tbo knock-down variety.

Had the morning been more\npromising, there would have been many\nmore visitors present, but as it wus the\ngathering was a large nnd jolly ouo.

There is no\nnews from Pekin. The Russian\ncolonel, Schtelle, commanding the\ncombined forces of 10,000 men, is\nsupposed to be proceeding to Pekin.\nAdmiral Seymour's expedition is\nreturning to Tien Tsin.

The telegram adds:\nWorse Than Armenian Horrors.\n\"Seymour arrived at Tien Tsin\nwith 312 of his force wounded, besides 62 killed. The damage done\nto Tien Tsin has been exaggerated.\nShanghai is quiet. Other dispatches\nfrom Shanghai reiterate the announcements of the massacres of\nnative Christains in the inland districts, which are worse tban the Armenian horrors. The officials at\nthe places watched by gunboats\nmake a show of protecting the missionaries, but there is not even a\npretence of the protection of converts in the interior, who have been\nbutchered wholesale.\"\nt'WXDN'T STAND THK 1.1 Ll .\nAdmission or IKr*.

Forty of them\nare to be court-martialed for refusing to do musketry drill practice.\nA canvass of leading Canadians\nhas brought out opposition to a\nscheme of imperial federation which\nwould involve direct contributions\nby the colonies for the imperial\narmy and navy. . The alternative\nWu Ting Paug Is a ''Josher\"\nWu Ting Tang, the Chinese minister at Washington, is sharp as a\ntrap, with an underlying stratum of\nhumor which is intense. He was\nat the Mardi tiras festival in New\nOrlcan, where an autograph-hunting fiend found him and induced\nhim to write something on his cufl'.\nThen he cut oul Ihat part of his cuff\nand put it in his pocket book. Since\nthen he has been showing the treasure to Chinese laundrymen. They\nall agree that they \"no can read\nhim.\" At the same time they go\ninto convulsions of merriment as\nthey look at it. Now, the outside\nworld has a little curiosity to know\nwhat really was written on that\ncull'. Salt Lake Tribune.\nThe Speculators' Monopoly\nIf there is an industry in the\nworld in which the interests of the\ndiscoverer, the laborer and the capitalist are identical, is gold mining\nOne of the questions that must be\ntaken up in this province is the law\nrelating to mining, with a view to\namending it so as to render the development of mines more speedy\nmost favored is the maintenance of\na small standing army and navy in\neach colony, at the disposal of the\nmperial government.\nPostmaster-General Mulock has\nintroduced a bill for the collection o\nlabor statistics and for the settlement of labor disputes by boards of\narbitration and conciliation. This\nis a step in tbe right direction.\nThe growth of Southeast Kootenay may be inferred from the vote\npolled. This was 974 at the recent\nelection against 303 in t8q8.\nThe example set by the powers\nin obtaining spheres of influence has\nbeen followed by the Boxers with\ntelling effect. The boundaries of\ntheir sphere ar* marked with blood\nand fire.\nBritons and Americans raced for\nthe honor of being the first to enter\nTien Tsin and they ended by entering neck and neck. May they ever\nengage in such friendly rivalry in\nthe cause of civilization.\nThe election frauds commission\nhas begun business and it is now in\norder for each fellow to show what\na consummate rascal the other fellow is. It is an opportunity for the\npoliticians to have a grand washing\nof dirty linen.\nBritish Columbia seems to be a\npoor sort of country for any man to\nembark in the czar business.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The\nProvince.\nDutch railroad men, having refused to operate the Transvaal\nrailroads for the British army, are\nto be sent home to Holland.

Canada can furnish men\nto whip the enemy and horses on\nwhich they mav ride him down.\nFlax fibre is now being used to\nmake paper and North Dakota has\ntaken to growing flax for the purpose.\na\nthan it is at present. There are\naltogether too many claims locked\nup in the hands of people who\neither cannot or will not do\nanything with them. The\nrights of prospectors must be carefully guarded, but the policy of monopoly in all its varied phases must\nb* put a stop to. And the monopoly of capital is not the only brand of.,\nthat objectionable article.
