Its celebration\nin the Slocan began very appropriately by the unveiling of\nA CHRISTMAS TREE\nIn the Methodist, church in New-\nDenver. It proved to lie a verv\nfruitful tree, and Oapt. E'stabrooks\nin the guise of Santa Claus, assisted\nby Mrs. Melnnes, made many\n.children happy. It was the first\n^Christmas tree in the Slocan, and\nit was prophesied by Rev. Caebei\nito \"be 'he beginning of mdnj\npleasurable occasion's.\" Whether\nthe prophesy Referred to immedi-\nately BUocefiding events or to the\nChristmases that arc to follow with\nthe pacing of the years, it was\ndoubtless true.\nTHE NKW IIAIJ.\nIn which the entertainment, which\nwas announced for 8 y. m. on\nChristmas eve, was held is worthy\nTataufctC.

No town can he complete\nwithout such a hall where assemblages may le held.\nThe. untiring efforts of Mrs. Gil!\nand Mrs. lioyt were assurance\n.enough that the entertainment\nWould be a success.\nThe attendance from Three\nForks, Sandon and the mines, especially the Slocan Star, was large.\nThe new sled r, ad gave the up-\n, creek people a line opportunity to\ncombine the two pleasures of a\n. sleigh ride and a trip to New Denver. Capt. aid Mrs Moore, Mr,\n.Owens and Mr. Vallance of tin\n.concentrator unproved the opportunity of seeing how a Christmas\nis celebrated a thousand miles\ni away from a city.\nTHE K.NTKUTAINMEKT.\nOur reccollection of the entertainment is somewhat confused.\nWe were intoxicated at the time\n(with the music, of course) and a\nthousand and one sights and incidents have since played upon the\nnerve cords that convey impressions to the organ of memory.\nWe remember, however, that Mr.\nBogle presided; that Bolander was\nthere with Dutch impersonations\n.and his comic songs which are always received with applause; that\nboth the vocal and instrumental\nmusic by Miss Fstabrooke, Mrs.\n: Shannon and Messrs. Brindle and\nSquire were pleasing to the audience; that the song of the Scotch\nladdie and lassie W. Thomlinson\nand Mrs. Shannon\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwas pathetic\nand pretty; that the duet by the\nMisses Scott was a pleasing surprise; that Mr. Snutheringale won\nlaurels, and that he and Mr. Lancaster, who won uproarious applause, will be in demand in the\nSlocan whenever there is to be an\nentertainment by local talent.\nTHE BALL.\nThe grand march was led by Mr.\nMcLean and Mrs. Gill and was\nparticipated in by about forty\ncouples. Music was furnished by\nThos. Trenary, Jack Delaney and\nWm. Hill. Many of the ladies\npresent were handsomely attired\nbut as our society reporter is out\non a strike, we have to onnit the\ndetails.\nAfter three hours of dancing, a\nsplendid supper waB sprved in the\nlong hall on the first floor of the\nbuilding. The supper was prepared by E, Shannon, and the\ntable groaned beneath its load of\ncakes, pies, etc.\nThe receipts at the ball-room\ndoor were over seventy dollars.\nThe net receipts were donated to\nthe band, an organization that is\nexpected to enliven the Slocan on\nmany future occasions.\nCHRISTMAS NIGHT.\nThe crowds returned to Three\nForks on Christmas day. Many\nexcellent Christmas dinners were\nspread in each town in the Slocan.\nCrane & L;owes announce') a\ngrand opeuiiig of their bote, and\nliie dance m their hail was a success. The supper.prepared for the\noccasion at the Norquay has never\niieen surpassed in the Siociin.\nA WEDDING.\nAs if purposely planned to prevent a break in the chain of festivities, the first wedding in Three\nForks occurred on the evening of\nthe 27th, midway between Christ-\nio.i.- ami New Year. Yhr tioiitraiv\ning | arties were Mrs. Drytien and\nMr, Terrill, lintfi of the Pacific\nhotel. The or1 dating minister was\nKev. tieo. Ii.

The fourth decided the\nmatch in Brown's favor, and he\ndanced over his prostrate foe.\nAn impromptu match soon followed, between Angus Mclntyre\nand Jack Madigan. The crowd\nfollowed them upstairs and cheered\nlustily when Mclntyre was made\nto see more stars than he could\ncount in a month.\nAT THE BOWEN HOUSE.\nIt was at the Ruwen House that\nthe youth and leauty of the Slocan\nassembled New Year's eve to dance\nthe old year \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDut and the new year\nin.

A liridge connects this upper\nstory of the ore shed with the road\non the hillside and the ore is\nbrought over it into the shed and\nput into the bin as fast as it is\nhauled down the hill. Next season\nit will come from the mines direct\nover a cable tramway. The bin is\ncapable of holding 2,000 tons of\nore. There are five compartments,\nfor the use of different mines. In\nbuilding it 70,000 ft. of lumber\nwere used, making a total of 295,-\n000 ft. in the two buildings.\nTHE PROCESS.\nThe ore is first rudely aroused\nfrom its resting places in the Idaho\nand Twin Lakes basins, where it\nhas lain undisturbed for centuries,\nbrought out to daylight through\nthe Idaho and Alamo tunnels and\nshafts, loaded onto sleds and giver\nfurther imprest* nnon it that it haf\n\"truck a ciVili.iwd country.

Then it follows what has\nalready passed the first screen and\nis i ut successively through thret\nscreens, and then into three jigs.\nIn these jigs most of the concentrates, are obtained, the ore being\nagitated by a plunger in bach compartment, aim Ihe he;fv portion\n(the galena.) settling to the bottom\nwhere it is drawn out while the\nlighter or waste matter is carried\nof at the toj. If any is snll found\nto need grinding it is referred to\na Huntington mill, after which\nit passes into a set of two jigs\nwhere more concentrates nre secured. Then, of what is still\nmixed, the finest is passed into a\nlarge settling tank for final separation, and the coarser is put onto\nfour duuhle-deek revolving tables\nwhere the process is finished.\nThe operation is automatic\nj throughout, the ore not being\ni touched by mind from the time it\nis dumped into the ore bin till it\nis concentrated ready for shipment.\nPOWER.\nThe power for operating the machinery of the concentrator is to be\nfurnished by a Pel ton wheel, using\nwater from Howson creek. The\nwater pipe running up the creek is\n1400 ft. long, securing a head of\n230 ft., making it capable of giving\nabout 100 horse power.\nTwo young men- -Levi and Mc-\nKinnon\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDhave leased the Norquay\nrestaurant.

Is silver needed as n\nmoney <>f redemption? Is bimetalism better for the world than\nmonometalism? Upon the solution of thetre questions depends the\nfuture market value of silver.\nThe rejection of silver as a money\nof redemption produced a worldwide depression in business aim\nthe destruction of innumerable\nsmall fortunes.\nIn the United States, Mexico and\nthe South\"\"American countries the\nsentiment in favor of binietalisn\ni6 universal.\nIn the United States there is a\ndivision of opinion as to whethei\nthat country should act independently of other nations in tin-\nmatter, but on the main question\nof bimetalism there is practically\nno division; and at the last international conference the representatives of the United States, in common with those of all other countries except England and Germany, favored bimetalism.\nIf Lord Roseberry and his cabinet could be induced to favor bi-\nD.

It is that the pendulum which swung from prosperity\nto adversity has now begun to\nswing back again. There is a\nbetter feeling in Kaslo. The increase in business is slight but it\nis most decided, and there is rear\naonable grounds for hope that it\nwill keep right on increasing. During the past year there have been\nmany removals from Kaslo, but\nthere will be few if any more. It\nlooks as though from this time on\nevery business man in Kaslo will\ndo a fair and profitable business at\nhis old stand.\nHere are some of the conditions\nwhich favor and contribute to a\nreturn of prosperity in'Kaslo:\n1st. There are a number of good\nmines on the Kootenay side of the\ndivide, and more are being discovered and opened up every year,\nwhich are directly tributary to\nKaslo.\n2nd. Owing to the uncertainties\nvwhich prevail on what is known as\n-the Kevelstoke route, a portion of\nthe shipping from Three Forks,\nSandon and Cody creek is by way\n,of Kaslo.\n3rd. A large proportion of the\nmines in the Slocan are owned in\nthe states, which keeps up a continuous line of travel between the\nSlocan and Spokane and other\npoints in the states, Kaslo is on\nthe favorite route of these American\ntravel lets,\n4th. The results of the past two\nor three months has demonstrated\nthat there is a considerable amount\nof gold in the placer mines on\nKaslo creek. There is perhaps not\nso much as in the Yukon, Cool-\ngardie or other far away places, hut\nenough to interest at least one\nhundred miners next spring. It\nwould be difficult to estimate the j\nnumber of prospectors who will\nsearch along the the tributaries of |\nKaslo creek for the ledges whence I\n.comes the gold.\n5th.
