The striking feature of\nthe contest was that every Conservative leader excepting Hon. John\nHaggart, and possibly Sir Charles\nHibbert Tupper, went down to defeat, while not a single prominent\nLiberal lost his head. Hugh John\nwent down in Manitoba, Montagu in\nOntario, Caron in Quebec, Tupper in\nNova Scotia, and Foster in New\nBrunswick, with even Davin in the\nTerritories Another surprise is the\nstrength shown by the Independents,\nthey having elected seven representatives.

The elections to be held arc\nput on the Liberal side chiefly. The\nIndependents may also be counted on\nto give the government more or less\nsupport. Ontario showed large Conservative eains, but Quebec nnd the\nMaritime Provinces are overwhelm*\nly for Laurier. Quebec, especially,\npresents a formidable array of gov\neminent supporters. Puttee's victory in Winnipeg was most pronounc\ned, as was also Ralph Smith's on\nVancouver Island. Richardson won\nin Lisgar against big odds.

There were\nabout 1W) invited guests present and\nit was a thorough I v enjoyable affair.\nThc first part of the evening was\nspent in pleasant social intercourse,\nand then followed a abort programme\nof speeches and music, in which the\nAdcock orchestra took a prominent\npart. Kev. Mr. Roberts, of New\nDenver, was chairman, and he, with\nI). McVannell and .1. T. Beanchcsnc,\ngave brief addresses of welcome nnd\nadvanced reasons for celebrating the\ndav. Then came sapper, tbe guests\nbeing sealed at two long tables and\nthe members of tlio Order acting as\nwaiters. There was a goodly array\nof viands, to which full justice was\ndone. A number of toasts were pro\nposed, bringing forth excellent\naddresses from Messrs. Harrison, Mc-\nKee and Shook. A rousing toast to\nHer Majesty brought the affair to a\nClose, it having been the first June,\ntion ofthe kind held iu thc town. It\nserved to bring the townspeople in\ncloser touch with each other and\ndemonstrated that tho members ol\nthe Orange Society are not lacking in\ntheir ideas of entertainment.\nA. E.

It has not been confined to any\nono section, for all parts of the division have shown material progress.\nThe amount of money expended has\nbeen very large, while the number of men employed has shown a\nsteady increase. More bonds, and\nof a more substantial nature, have\nbeen made than in any past season;\nwhile the actual development has exceeded past veal's. It is safe to say\nthat $500,000 has been expended in\nthe division during the year for development purposes, while $300,000\nwill represent the amount of bonded\nproperty.\nOn Ten Mile, the properties bonded were: The Hlack Hawk, to Ernest\nMansfield; Neepawa, to the Warner\nMiller syndicate; Iron Horsa.to Mark\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0Manley and associates: Mabou and\nOhio group, to J. Frank Collom;\nTransvaal group, to Ward McDonald. On Twelve Mile: The Bachelor,\nto A. Fishburn; V & M, to the V &\nM Mining Co. On Springer creek:\nSpeculator, to J. Frank; Collom, who\nalso bonded the Gertie R; Tamarac.\nto J. Holden, who has lately taken a\nproperty on Republic hill; Hampton,\ntoN. F. McNaught and associates;\nTwo Friends, to T. Lake and associates. Other small deals have also\nbeen made on this creek, together\nwith lenses on tho Black Prince and\nBondholder. On Lemon creek: Several claims around the Chapleau and\nKilo; Hoodoo, to J. Beuedamj Howard Fraction, under lease, and several small transactions.\nMany new buildings have boen\nerected at the various properties, and\na sawmill has been established on\nSpringer, with a stamp mill and\ntramway at the Chapleau. on Lemon\ncreek. A wagon road has also been\nbuilt up Lemon and another up\nSpringer, while trails have been\nconstructed to several properties. The\namount of ore in sight is larger now\nthan at any previous time, and the\nvalues show no deterioration. The\nindications point to several more\nproperties starting up, and the Inquiries from outside capital are on\nthe increase.\nTrouble nt tbe Ohtipleaa.\nAffairs at the Chapleau have been\nin a sadly muddled condition of late,\nas between the management of of J.\nM. Williams and the French directors now here, and the aid of the\ncourts has been invoked to straighten\nthings out. Mr. Williams refused to\nrecognize the authority ofthe directors and declined to allow them on\nthe property, while the latter have\nsince secured an injunction restraining Mr. Williams from trespassing\non the premises in question. The\naccounts of the company are in a\nmixed up state and Mr. Browning is\nengaged in balancing the books. He\nhas been asked to take tho management ofthe finances of the company.\nWork is being carried on vigorously\natthe mine, but the mill will not be\nin running shajc till next month,\nowing to tho delay in the arrival oi\nthe machinery.\nAriinttiHi Developments.\nIt is tho intention of the Arlington\nMines to increase their force and to\nstope out oro during the winter. In\nNo. C workings tho old timbers are\ndecaying and it has been decided to\ntake out the ore and permit the drift\nto till in. Later on new bunkhouses\nare. to be erected, the lumber being\nsupplied from the company's mill,\nwhich is effecting a great saving.\nNext year the company purpose sinking a 1000-foot shaft from the lower\nground, so as to thoroughly exploit\nthe ledge, which is confidently believed to cany large quantities of\nore below the present workings. Mr.\nCollom, the managing director ot the\nArlington Mines, staled Monday that\nmining in this section had got down\nto a permanent basis, and that the\nArlington hill would make a great\nrecord iu the camp.\nS|n-i uiiitor Development.\nDevelopment at the Speculator is!\nproceeding in a satisfactory manner, j\nUpwards of $10,000 having already!\nbeen expended since the bond was'\ntaken. The No. A drift is bei ig \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\npushed ahead so as to determine the\nmost favorable spot for sinking a\nshaft, called for in the bond. Some\nline oro has been encountered, assays\nfrom which go as high as 7W oz.\nThe new framing shed completed at\nthe mouth of tho drift is a beauty,\nand will enable the work to be carried on in comfort. Sufficient mining\ntimber is on hand to last fully nine\nmonths, There is about 18 inches of\nsnow now on the ground.\nABOUND THK TOWN.\nWild fowl have been numorous in\nthis vicinity of late.\nJames Foley and family will spend\nthc winter on tbe coast.\nJ.

Divorces\nar\u00C2\u00BB obtained in the states on frivolous grounds. In too many cases\nmarriage was evidently entered into\nas a speculation. One party to iht\nmarriage bad money, while lhe\nother had none. The party without money would then proceed to\nmake life so unpleasant for the\nparty with money lhat that parly\nwould make a sacrifice of money to\ngel out of a had scrape.\nIn Chicago, the proportion ol divorces to marriage is one to every\nfive. The high divorce ratio might\nbe considered exceptional if other\ncities did not appronch unpleasantly\nnear it. In Baltimore, a quiet,\nconservative southern city, the\nratio is one to nine. Friendly di*\nvorces, so called, are especially objectionable.\nWhen divorce is applied lor on\ngrounds so slight that the parties\nrcniair, pending proceedings, on\nfriendly terms with each other, *'\nreasonable conclusion is that the\ngrounds upon which the application\nis based arc frivolous. Money or\nillicit love may be the real cause,\nwhile some other respectable cause\nis named in tbe application.\nJudges are often induced to grant\ndivorces on frivolous grounds b)\nlhe presumption tbat if the petition\nis denied the couple will be doomed\nlo an unhappy married life. Thi\"\npresumption is not always borne\nout by facts. When a couple seek\ndivorce on slight provocation the\ndenial ol divorce may induce th*\nparties to remove the cause of complaint. 11 may be found thai th*\nsituation is not bo bad us it appear*\"\nlo be. Willi a liberal divorce law\nto construe, judges may materiall)\ndecrease the ratio ol divorces t0\nmarriages.

C, November 6,-*-\nThe tlag Hying at half mast over\nthe Nickel Plate shaft of the Great\nWestern mines today signalled that\na fatality had occurred there this\nmorning.\nInquiry at the B. A. C. offices,\nfrom Dr. Reddick the coroner and\nfrom other sources, elicited the following statement. Andrew Howick, a mucker, was doing some temporary work at the 500-toot level of\nthe Nickel Plate vertical shaft,where\na platform bad been placed, cutting\noff the passage of the skips to the\n000-foot level, or bottom of the\nshaft, Above Howick, at the 400-\nloot station, two muckers named\nMunroe and Baxter were at work\nand it is said that Howick warned\nMunroe that be was at work below\nhim and to be carelul to not allow\nany rock to tall on him and also to\nkeep the cage oil him. Munro, it\nis said, told Baxter about Howick,\nso that both men were aware that a\nman was at work 100 feet below\nand directly under them, At the\n400-foot station chairs were in position to prevent the cage trom going any further down.\nThe men went on shift this morning as usual and about 9 o'clock\nBaxter, it is stated, heard as he\nthought Howick striking on the\npipe for the cage. Accordingly he\npulled out the chairs and signalled\ntbe engineer to send the skip down\nto the Goo-foot level. The cage\npassed on down and although the\nengineer slowed up in passing or\nattempting to pass the 5oo-foot station, the cage caught poor Howick\nand simply crushed him to death.\nThe temporary platform of course\nheld the cage and Baxter, fearing\nan accident, went down the ladder\nway, only to find the mangled remains of Howick underneath the\ncage. Assistance was at once obtained, Howick was brought to the\nsurface and Dr. Bowes quickly arrived on the scene, but the unfortunate man must have been killed instantly as he was quite dead when\nhe surface was 1 cached.\nDr. Reddick was notified and\nfirst to last has been exemplary.\nNot a single case of serious crime\nhas been brought to my notice, indeed, nothing deserving the name\nof crime.
