ATLIN, B.C., SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER ' 12, 1903 NO. 217. PROSPERITY ' Prevails Throughout the At- ' . - lin 'Camp. ' ' ' The Season About to Close Will Prove to Be One-of the Most Profitable in the 'History of the District.. v It cannot but fail to impress any one visiting the different, scenes of activity throughout the camp' that the Atlin Mining-DisLiict has successfully weatlieiedthe experimeni- .talistage/'and that it*is now on the e\e of 0 profitable and enviable caiecr and that its futurei pi ogress will* make it\" one of the ruining camps of the century. - , T During the early part of.the^sea- son work was 'seriously checked by high water and the ill-advised strike of May last, while a shortage of water on several of the creeks at present has likewise affected the camp's gold output.^ In spite of - these drawbacks the output will be *greatly in ^excess of any -previous season in proportion to the number of opeiatois^aud the indications are that the annual output will henceforth steadily increase. ' ^v;\"- \"A brief resume of-some of the more important operations tliiough- /out the camp should be in order at this time: - . \" PINE CREEK' ^Operations on\" .this- creek have been mostly confined to hydraulic mining, \"but with those individual miners who are still working on the creek, some very good yields have been won, notably Joe Kotod and, associates, on what is .known as the Harrigan ground, just below 'Discovery. On this property, which was supposed to have been ' worked out, as high as two ounces a day to the-man has been taken out. On the claim immediately above a small gang has recently gone to work, with variable success. Drifting work on the high benches, . between the Harrigan and Sabiu hydraulic pits, which was carried during last winter and the first part of the summer with fair results, has been practically suspended, though . this method is still being successfully pursued adjacent to Willow creek by Cancellor and others. At the mouth of Gold Run, Messis. Green & Co. aie making money off their creek'claims. They have two pumps and a derrick at work. The highest record this season has been 42 ounces for a week's work. Hydiaulicing by the Pine Creek Power Co. and Mr. J. F. Deeks has been successful to a degree. In the case of the former company, this year's exploitation has fully established the enormous extent and richness of the ancient auriferous gravel deposit, which it will take years to work out. SPRUCE CREEK. _, The placet miner still'leigns supieme on Spmce, where theieare more, men at woik than in any othei pail ol the district. This cicek pioaents the most inlcicsting pictures on placet mining' that could be found and the combination of uuning experience and modem machinery makes one think that placet mining here has \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD become a science., Some extraordinary clean-' ups have\"been made and \"ounces\"* pei, day to the maii^ are' moie the rule than the exception. It will be somcyeais before the main portions of'the cieek falls into the hands of hydiaulic operators The Spruce Creek Hy., - Ltd., may ,be able to'get in a'few -days' hydiaulicing before the close of the ^season, the pipe is being\" put together as lapidly as possible. ,The Colum- bia^Hyd Co. is'thirsting'for want of water. ^ , BOULDERiiCREEKy ''' The output among ,the miners on this creek has not averaged as high this season as last, owing primarily to lack of water, while the necessity of each owner 'looking.'after the tailings from his claim has temporarily caused a cessation of work/ In \"this -connection, we would cite Spruce, between 60 and 100 below; as \"an instance of how tailings can be taken care of.\" There is no complaint from the Soc. Miu- lere as to their progress, so vve sup^ pose they continue to do well. Such of the other, creeks upon which work is being done, notably McKee, Biich and Wright, are all turning \" out their, share of the world's wealth. The North Columbia Co. The success attendant upon the operations of this company.duriug the present season must be very gratifying to the stockholders. The opening \" out of the -Yellow Jacket mineral claim has-given the most -encouraging prospects. The old drive at the 'foot of the shaft has been continued, and what was supposed to be a vein has been found to be an immence dyke of free-ruiling ore, showing a handsome working profit. A trial lot of 30 tons is now on the dump, ready to be run through the mill, which started up this week. The shaft will be sunk some distance farther and and another cross diive made. Under this company's 'supervision the property of the Stevendyke Hyd. Partnership is being exploited, preparatory to taking up a bond, and we aie reliably informed that the results obtained fully confirm the claims of the owners, viz.: that the ancient high bench channels of Pine and Spruce creeks would be found intact on their ground. The Stevendyke bids fair lo become the most valuable hydraulic property in the district and the N.C.M.Co. is to be congratulated on its acquisition of this property. A Serious Fire Averted.

' Jt is a terrible contrast, but one that Is not seldom ^ecn. , ' What with the evci-increasing hours \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDcf leisure and the more liberal wages; what with the laxity of parental over- light and the. blandishments, pretences and tinsel of vice; what with the prevailing leniency towaid wrongdoing and the widespread indifference lo the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD restraints of religion, we need not be \"flirprised when we >arc told tint there 1 has recently been an enormous growth In crime, especially among the young. We ask whence it aiises. In the text the wreck appears to have been attributable to \"the rowers \" Who, then, are these rowers? We may, in the first placed regard them as one's companions.

Nature has her laws, and when they are infringed she punishes without hesitation and without remorse. Excess is sin. Excess is weakness. Excess is death. Caesar sought happiness in dominion, Brutus in glory. Antony in love. The first found ingratitude, the second reproach, thejast disgrace, and each destruction, because each went to excess.

It must seem like a frightful lught- tnare as they review the events winch led little by little, to the devastation of to-day. Doubtless the whole history might be summed up in one sentence, \"the rowers swept them on.* Desire, appetite, lust were uncontrolled, and thus came ruin. When the weakened ship passes out into the deep sea the waves beat her, the winds toss her, the floods open her crevices the waters rush In and the ship goes down. Then follows bi-ttcr lamentation. . Let me show you a picture. An in- -firm and broken-hearted woman sits 'to-day in her chamber alone. Mechanically she turns 'ohe leaves of the old, worn Bible.

She holds the bcok close to her eyes,,so dimmed with age and weeping; she pronounces the words aloud with slow precision, \"The Lord is loving unto every man, and his mercy is over all h*is works.\" But her overwi ought' brain cannot comprehend the meaning; the book falls from her neiveless i grasp, while the hot tears pour down the ashen face.

Mr. Kipling evidently considered the proposition with some care, but only to reject it. \"There is such a thing,\" he wrote, \"as paying one hundred and twenty-five cents for a dollar, and, though I suppose there H money in the lecturing business, it seems to me that the bother, the fuss, the being at oveiy- body's beck and call, the.night journeys, and scon, make it very dear. 1 ve seen a few men who've lived through the fight, but they did not look happy, -i might do it as soon as I had, two mortgages on my house, a lien on the horses and a bill of sale on the furniture, ana wliter's cramp in both hands, but at present I'm busy and contented to go on with the lcsulir writing business.

'There are tricks in every trade, but I think that men who deal in horseflesh have a few more than those engaged in other' occupations,\" said Samuel Ford, formerly owner of a big stock farm' near Louisville, who is at the, Plankinton House. \"One of the directions in which the grafter in tins line turns, his attention is to making horses appear younger than they are, and there are scores of methods tor accomplishing this puipose. The usual way of telling the age of an equine Is to'examine its teeth. A'hoise has a full set when five years old.^and this consists of forty teeth Six months later the nipper, or fi ont teeth, be-, come marked by a natural cavity, and it is the picsence or absence of these markings that demonstiatcs the cv.'ct age of the horse.' As it gets older the cavities ^bcgin to wear away, and it is then that the faker,gets busy. In order to reproduce the maikings the,surface of the teeth is,cut'with a steel tool, and the lequisite black lining ot the groove <|nriicd in with niw. , ' In a recent bulletin issued by the Massachusetts Experiment Station, the best results were obtained with Indian meal 'and separated milk when mixed in the following proportions : Pigs weighing from 20 to 80' pounds, two ounces of Indian ,meal lo each quart of skim milk; pigs weighing 80 to 125 pounds, four ounces of Indian meal to'each quart of skim milk ; pigs from 125 to 190 pounds,.six ounces Indian meal to each quart of sknn milk. In these experiments it was not found profitable to feed beyond the weight of 180 or 190 pounds. The daily food consumed after these weights were reached cost more than the increased value of the pork. From,experiments recently carried out in Germany, it was shown that profit in feeding ceases when the animal attains two hundred pounds in weight. It has been ascertained that 2 per cent, of the live weight in food must be taken each day to support live weight. If the animal weighs three hundred pounds, this amounts to six pounds of food for that purpose daily, or over 40 pounds per wasting his precious time in lectin ing for the sake of the money there would have been in it for him.

In another experiment- the pigs were taken at ages ranging from five to eight weeks. During the first hundred days of the experiment not far from two pounds-of digestible food produced one pound of growth, while during the last fifty days the ratio was four pr.unds digestible food to one pound of growth. Every pound of pork made during the last fifty days cost double that made in the first hundred days. These experiments indicate that it is not advisable to keep pigs until they grow into large weights. Travelling Incog.

At that time the number of those entitled to vote according to the list was 374. The new list, now in the printer's hands, shows a total voting strength of 561. The number of votes cast' at the election lefcned to was 192. As the new list has been compiled since the proiogation of the P10- vincial House, and as the date ol the General Election is piior to the annual exodus of people \"going below,\" we look _ for a very heavy poll being cast, it is well for every voter to remember that a very great deal depends upon a high percentage of votes being cast, apart altogether from the \" candidates' \" interest in the fight. Notices appear iu other columns calling upon the \"faithful\" to as semble in Convention for the purpose ot nominating a candidate to enter the list on behalf of the respective parties.

Their one exception was 1884, when Mr. Blaine, who was neither a lawyer nor a soldier, was nominated, but running on the saina ticket -with him was Gen. Logan. The Democrats had soldier-lawyer candidates for President In 1836, 1860, 1863, 1876, 1884, 1888, and 1892; they had soldier candidates in 1S64 and 1880. Their one exception was 1872, when Horace Greeley was the Demo- cratic nominee. Tiiough farmers constitute the largest class of American voting citizens they are usually represented in Congress or the Legislature by lawyers, and few practical benefits have been derived by farm Lite, communities represented in Congieas or elseware by actual agriculturist's. ,The present tendency is for lawyers to become more prominent In legislation than before, ftnd for farmers to become less 60.

Kitchener Yields to a IloerOliI. , While Lord Kitchener was engaged In suppressing the Pileka rebellion he ordered the destruction of a certain farmhouse., 'Not seeing any \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDigns of his orders being carried out, he rode over with\" his staff and found an interesting situation. In the doorway of the \"doomed farm stood a pretty young Dutch girl, her hands clasping the doorposts and her eyes flashing fne from beneath her dainty sunbonnet. The Irish sergeant in charge pf the party of destiuction was-vainly endeavoring to persuade her fa let them pass in.^but to all his blandishments of \"Arrah'darbnt; wisha now, acush- la,\" etc , the maiden turned a deaf car, and a deadlock prevailed. Kitchener's sharp \"What's this?\" put a climax to the scene. The girl evidently guessed that this was the dreaded Chief of Staff, and her lips trembled in spite of herself. Kitchener gazed souily at her, standing bravely though tearfully there, and turned, to his military \"i- secretary. \"Put 'down,\" he growled, \"that the Commander's orders with reference to the destruction'\" of Rightman's farm could.not be carried cut owing to unexpected opposition.

A well-bred man puts his hand ovet his mouth when he yawns; but not one in ten thousand knows why. The reason is this: Four or five hundred years ago there was a superstition common In Europe that the devil was always lying In wait to enter a man's body, and take possession of him. Satais generally went in by the,mouth; but when be had waited a reasonable time and the man did not open his mouth, the devil made him yawn, and while his mouth was opened jumped down his thoat. So many cases of this kind occurred that the people learned to make the sign of the cross over their mouths whenever th-^r-yawned, In order to_scare awnv tha devil. Tho peasantry In Italy and Spain stiU adhere to this method; but most other people have dispensed with the cross sign, and keep\"out the d^nl by simply placing the hand bef-\" e ihe lips.

The next day we repeated the piogramme, and the day after that also, so that when we started for Aix-les-Bains wo had seen nothing of Geneva but the hotel.
