R. R. Hedley the cost per ton of ore of smelting to matte for the year ending September 30, 1899, was rediiced from $3.66 in thc previous, year to $2.96, mainly owing to the small furnace used previously being replaced by one of large area. This sura was divided as follows: Flux, $0,196; fuel, $1,445, and labor; etc., $1.32.

ETC. The month. of August witnessed some important occurrences affecting the material interests of the Boundary country. Chief among these was the starting of the Granby company's smelter at Grand Forks, the beneficial influence of the success of which is being felt to an increasing extent throughout the whole.of the district. Then there were developments of more than ordinary significance in several of the mines, the most notable-being the cutting of good bodies of shipping ore at the 300-foot level of the Mother Lode, Golden Crown and Winnipeg respectively. Several circumstances combined to prevent the total quantity of ore shipped during the month from attaining to such 'comparatively large proportions as some - published; reports led the public to look for. Among- these were repairs and requisite alterations to timber in connection with putting a cage in the main shaft of the B. C. mine, this necessitating a temporary stoppage of pre hoisting operations. At other mines, so it is stated, delays occasionally arose in getting cars, .so that shipments were to some extent also .; affected by this cause. These and other reasons kept the month's aggregate of shipments down to about 6,000 tons as against about 6,500 tons during \"July. The latter half of the month, though, made up much of the shortage of the earlier half,.and mines and shipping arrangements, are now;.: in such shape that if sufficient cars be available the September total should.easily reach 15,000 tons and probably, more.*\" ' ,THE SMEI/fERS. The Granby company's smelter was blown in on the morning of 21st ulto., and since then it has been running without a hitch, using.one furnace of a nominal daily capacity of 250 tons but actually treating more than 300 tons per.diem. A second furnace of like capacity;, will probably be started in the course of a few days and thereafter, with about 4,000 tons of Boundary ores being treated weekly, at this smelter alone, and with returns giving a fair margin of profit, it should not take long to amply demonstrate that mining in the Boundary is a paying industry, \"Pending the receipt of the machinery and plant for the Greenwood smelter matters. appear to the casual observer to be at a standstill at this establishment, but such is certainly not the case. About the same h u tnber pf men are on the payroll as for weeks past, and these are fully employed in putting in a dam and laying pipes for water supply, in erecting the furnace and in preparing the laboratory for its important part in connection with smelting operations. Next month's review will no floubt include a report of further substantial progress to. wards the final co.mpletiou and equipment of these works. A s;te near Boundary Falls having been secured for the Standard Pyritic Smelting company's pyritic smelter, the necessary surveys have been made and levels taken and a profile of the ground accompanied by the data requisite for the preparation of the plans for buildings, foundations, etc., has -UNDERTAKERS AND ElftBALMERS- Smith... & McRae COPPER STREET been sent to the manufacturers of the smelter furnace and plant at Denver, Colorado.

Meanwhile the managing director, Mr. Andrew Laidlaw, is arranging all other preliminaries so that there may be no unnecessary delay in erecting and equipping this smelter. DEADWOOD CAMP. ' About 400 feet of work was done in further development of the Mother Ivode mine during the month. Most of this was at the 300-foot level on which the north drift, at about 200 feet from the shaft, is now in ore. Two cross cuts have been run from this drift, one at 90 feet from the shaft and the other at 140. No. 1 passed through some 20 feet of good ore and No. 2 lately entered what will probably prove to be the same shoot of ore. Further developments must be awaited to determine whether or not the ore now showing in the face of the drift, some 50 feet north of No. 2 crosscut, has any connection with that cut by the crosscuts. Some ore having.shown in the south drift about 20 feet from the shaft a crosscut was run east and west to ascertain what quantity of it there was. Bunches of very fine ore, almost solid copper pyrites, -were met with in the west working, but the ore was not continuous, as it is in the north crosscuts. The east end of the crosscut is in ore which will proba.bly be found to be a continuation of that cut north of the shaft. No. 2 crosscut soutli is also in ore, the occurrence here of which suggests that it is the same pre shoot ap- appareritly entered by all four crosscuts\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDtwo north and two south of the shaft\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDalong a distance of 250 feet, with ore showing in each of these crosscuts to the'east. Consequently the month's developments at the 300 level are regarded as very satisfactory At the 200-foot level a winze, sunk in a crosscut that had missed the ore, is in ore at 40 feet depth, showing that the ore body pitches under the level in this part of the mine. The particular im- Iportaiice attached to finding ore iu this winze /lies in the fact that it indicates that the big ore shoot, already prpved, to.extend 350 feetalong this lever1 continues .for an other ,100 feet at least and is going\" down so strongly that its occurrence as well at the 300 level is confidently looked for. The north drift is being put in shape for double-tracking and the winze connecting with the old crosscut tunnel above is being widened to meet working .requirements. .The foundations for the 35-drill compressor and boilers have been completed and the two'100- horse power bailers to furnish power for this compressor are being pla.ced in position. A compressor house 36x6c feet, of sawn lumber, with corrugated iron roof, is being erected and good progress is being made with the new dining\"-r6pm,--which^should-be- completed, within a fortnight. There are 63 men on the mine pay roll. Operations on the Sunset during the month were restricted to keeping the mine free from water and to stoping and snipping two cars of ore to Trail. This ore yielded yalues chiefly in gold and returned to the mine about $10 per ton clear of freight and treatment charges. The adjoining Crown Silver, also owned by the Montreal Boundary Creek Mining company, had more attention.with developments that are very encout aging. Sinking the double compartment vertical shaft was continued down to 154 feet. At the 150-foot level a crosscut was run 55 feet south, encountering 10 feet of shipping ore, part of which assayed $12.50 and the balance about $9. After passing through a low-grade streak the working is in ore improving in quality. A drift north-west on the strike oi the lead is in ore of good value. Both headings look well and give promise of further improvement. It is intended to resume sinking right away, going down to the 300-foot level. The Sunset and Crown Silver are to- gethei giving employment to 18 men. About 60 feet of crosscutting and drifting were done at the 100-foot level of the Buckhorn. A test car of ore was shipped to Trail and this gave a gross value of $24.32 per ton, in the following proportions: Gold, $5.70; silver, 29 cents; copper, $18.33. The management contemplates deepening the main shaft, now down 220 feet, to 400 feet. There are at present 10 men on the mine pay roll. The month's work done on the. Morrison includes a crosscut run*40feet from No. 1 shaft at the 175-foot level and a winze sunk 20 feet from, the main tunnel. This winze is all in ore. It is to be continued 100 feet, at which depth the first level will be run. The mine is reported to be looking very well, with plenty of ore in sight. The Greyhound shaft was sunk to 105 feet and at the 100-foot level a crosscut was run 28 feet. These workings are all in ore, of which there appears to be a big body here. The tunnel on the Great Hopes was run 105 feet, making its total length 180 feet. Where cut the vein is broken, the ore being mixed, with waste rock/ On the Marguerite, owned by the Quebec Copper company, a shaft now down 80 feet, is being sunk between two ledges,, one a chal- copyritic .ore and the other magnetite. Copper now shows in the rock at the bottom of the shaft, which a week hence should be down to the 100-foot level, when a crosscut will be run both ways, with a prospect of cutting the ledges within 50 feet of the shaft. It is considered likely these two veins will come together at greater depth. A narrow vein of rich ore is being followed on the Gold Bug and the ore is being sacked for shipment. GREENWOOD CAMP. _ The Knob Hill, Old Ironsides and Victoria mines were on the 1st inst., -\" together employing 134 men.

The chief mining work done last month was in the railway tunnel, which is now in more than 300 feet. A crosscut from this tunnel is in between 60 and 70 feet. little more can at present be said of this property than that it is full of promise with lots of ore showing. The 70-horse power boiler installed last month is giving additional power, so that more machine drills are now in use. The only other mine in Greenwood camp calling for mention is the Brooklyn, which recently shipped six cars of ore from its dump. Nothing definite is yet known as to when work will be resumed in this mine and the adjoining Stem- winder. SUMMIT CAMP. From Aug. 1st to 17th work at the B. C. mine consisted chiefly of completing the new shaft house, timber-framing building and blacksmith's shop, and of repairing and altering the timbers of the main shaft so as to put these into good shape for lhe safety platform-; cage, afterwards installed and how in; running order. Some development work was done on the bottom level and - ore stoping was maintained on the first and second lerels.

Limited. Duncan Ross Editor. To prevent misunderstanding it may be desirable to here state that the editor of the Times is in no way ans-\yerable for the appearance in this issue of information relating to himself personally. -His locum tenens has assumed the responsibility of disregarding Mr. Ross's expressed wish that, there should be no more than passing mention of certain interesting events that took place last week. Several matters affecting the public welfare have lately engaged the attention of the Greenwood Board of Trade, with resulting advantage to the town and surrounding district. It is one thing to have an organization nominally the guardian of the public interest and another to have a real, live, zealous body that acts rather than talks only. Greenwood possesses the latter and benefits accordingly. ROSS-THOMPSON. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1000. The Times last month published some statements made by Mr. Felix Hughes respecting a better and shorter route for a wagon road to the main Kettle river than that via Lost creek. Mr; Hughes has since then again been over the country lying between the Mother Lode mine and the Kinkora group, and now reiterates' his previously expressed opinion that for directness, grade and low cost this suggested new route is far' and away superior to the other, which he, asserts is circuitous, hilly and very expensive for road-making. The matter is certainly well worth being closely looked into even though, for lack of funds, nothing more can be done for the time being. The mining news published in the New York Engineering and- Mining Journal is generally supposed to be re liable, but the few references that have lately been made in its correspondence columns to the Boundary district have been marred by errors. For instance, in its issue of Aug. 25 there appears, under\" the heading of East Kootenay district, the following: \"Granby smelter\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe smelter at Grand, Forks has .begun work under the superintendence of Mr. Paul Johnson.\" The Rossland correspondent of that journal is evidently not posted on Boundary matters. During the week ended Aug. 23 \"thereI weresold in^New-^York -2,200-of the British Columbia Copper company's 'shares and in Boston 375, total 2,575 shares, at prices ranging from $11.50 to $12 per share. The capital stock of this company consists of 200,000 shares at $5 each. Latest developments at the 300-foot level of the company's Mother Lode mine, situate near Greenwood, are, -as reported in this week's mining intelligence published in another column of this issue, increasingly satisfactory. The holding of the half yearly meeting of the Presbytery of Kootenay in Greenwood and the attendance thereat of ministers from nearly all the towns of East and West Kootenay and thc Boundary, are further testimony to the growing importance of Greenwood, the metropolis of the Boundary district. These evidences of recognition of its claims to be in the lead that this town receives from time to time, though only what it merits, are nevertheless very gratifying. The change in the Penticton mail arrangements which involves inward passengers stopping over all night at McCuddy's, where there is little if any hotel accommodation, appears to have been made without regard to the. most ordinary comfort and convenience of the travelling public. Outward passengers will make Fairview for the night's stop-over, but no suitable pro- ' vision has been made for those coming in, who should either be permitted to stay the night at Fairview or Camp McKinney.

A PRETTY WEDDING. On Saturday morning, 1st inst., Mr. Duncan Ross, editor of the Greenwood Times, was married' at St. Jude's Episcopal church, Greenwood, by Rev. W. A. Robins, M. A., to Miss Mary Thompson, who for nearly a year had also been a resident in Greenwood. At the particular request of the bride the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD wedding, was a very quiet one. Miss Thompson was driven to the church in a carriage drawn by a pair of greys. She was accompanied by. Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Sperry, the former giving her away. The groom was tin1 attended, the only other persons present during the ceremony, besides those already named, being two lady friends. The bride was simply but prettily dressed in white French muslin. She did not wear any ornaments but carried a bouquet of white flowers. As the bride and bridegroom entered the carriage after the ceremony they we're showered with rice, and as they drove away old shoes were thrown after them for 'good luck; The wedding breakfast was served at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A.

Upon their return to Greenwood they will make their'home in this town. A number ot presents we're received by the bride, whilst Mr.> Ross was the previous evening presented with an address and a purse containing a sum of money. The address was as follows: Presented to Duncan Ross, Esquire, together with a ptirseof gold, by a few friends, ,.on the occasion of his marriage, as a slight token of the respect and esteem in which he is held by them.

The presentation was made at the Imperial Hotel by Mr. Thos. Miller on behalf of the subscribers. Mr. Miller spoke in appropriate terms of praise and appreciation of the excellent service Mr. Ross had rendered the town and district during the three years or more he had conducted the Times. He acknowledged, too, the many other ways in which Mr. Ross had persistently worked for the public good, and bore testimony as well to his worth as a private citizen and good sociable fellow. On behalf of all who had joined in making the presentation hearty good wishes were tendered and earnest hopes were expressed for happiness, prosperity and long life to Mr. and Mrs. Duncan Ross. Mr. Ross feelingly replied, acknowledging the gratification he felt at this generous expression of appreciation of his efforts and the liberality of his friends who had thus united to do him honor. Words failed him in which to adequately convey to them his sense of their kindness and goodwill, so he A pretty wedding took place yesterday afternoon at the residence of John Mouat, Silica street, when his eldest daughter, Margaret E., was married to Richmond Kirkland Stevens, of Greenwood.

The bridal p:trty stood before a floral bank aad beneath a handsome design in cat-nations as the nuptial knot was tied. The bride was becomingly attired in a blue travelling costume trimmed with white satin, and carried a beautiful bouquet of pink and white chrysanthemums. A handsome display of wedding gifts evidenced the esteem in which the bride, who was the pioneer trained nurse in Nelson, was held by her friends here. Mr. and Mrs. Stevens left on the afternoon train for their home in Greenwood.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDNelson Tribune. * Mr. Stevens is the popular steward of the Greenwood club and the Times joins his many friends in extending congratulations.*- / PROFESSIONAL CARDS.

It is expected that a shoot of nice copper, ore will be met with in this raise. There., is nothing new to' mention respecting' the Mountain View, the crosscut not yet having encountered an ore body.

The winze on the ; first vein north of the shaft at the 300-foot level is.now down; 18. feet and the the lead now gives-10 feet of shipping-ore. \"Work in the crosscut at-the 100-foot- level has been 'discontinued. Throughout the month ore was extracted from what is -known as the railway ledge and quite lately another shoot or ore came in-but _very little is yet known of this. The latest development is the discovery; of what it is believed will pro-veto be the hanging wall of the main vein of the Winnipeg. No. 2, or the incline shaft, was some time ago sunk 65_feet on a vein at an angle of 57 degrees. - Near the surface some rich ore occurred, but deeper it made'into.pyrrhotite that did not carry much value. A crosscut from this vein at 35 feet depth has encountered what _appears to be the hanging wall and it shows.that there is another vein to the north of'that above-mentioned, coming in against it an. angle of 32 degrees and that these two apex together at the surface. The ore in this newly discovered vein is quite distinct from that in the vein previously sunk ou and apparently.carries high' values. Developments here are being watched with much interest. The mine _has shipped to date 44 cars of ore and now has 17 men on its pay roll. ..

Notwithstanding the practically unanimous protest of the metal mining industrialists of the province, the proposal for the doubling of the present mineral tax of 1. per cent has been carried, Mr. Turner's policy of increasing expenditure by leaps and bounds, and far in excess of. revenue,'rendering this, in his -and his colleagues' opinion inevitable. It is specially unfortunate that in levying this added .taxation; no -discrimination is made between .high ! and low grade ores. \"*It Will, as a rule, be! far\"*-easier, for example, for $100 ores from the Slocan to pay a-2 per cent duty on ore output, after deducting freight and treatment charges, than for Boundary's copper-gold ore to pay 1 per cent on the output of $8 and $9 ores, after making like reductions. A 2 per cent duty on the latter class of ore will lessen ouly too appreciably ainone too large presentmargin f or profit.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDNews- Advertiser.

Interesting Interview With T. G. Blackstock, of the War Eagle. { \"Rossland's great problem is that of ;*. the economical treatment of its low-grade ores, and I am confident that * this question is not far from solution,\" * said T. G. Blackstock, vice president \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD: of the War Eagle and Centre Star \" Mining companies, yesterday. Mr. : Blackstock is in the city on his -way to - the coast, having spent some time in : the interior of British Columbia. Geo. ' W. Good'erham, president of the big companies, who is west .-with Mr. : Blackstock, did not come with him to Spokane. \"While the wealth of the camp in ' high-grade ore. has been amply demon- .. strated, and there is no question of the T presence of immense bodies of ore that will pay handsomely to ship at ; the present cost of treatment and will give a large output for many years, the greatness of the camp will undoubtedly \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDrest in the mining of its lower grade ores,V.continued Mr. Blackstock. \"Of ;these there are almost unlimited quantities, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD but with the present cost of (treatment they will not pay to mine. 'What could be done in the camp with ^the mining.of these bodies at a profit !is wonderful to think of.- * \"But we have gained much and 1 believe we shall shortly secure the rest. '.The cost of mining is being reduced to' the lowest possible point by the installation of machinery and operation on a large scale. A reduction from $11 and $9 per ton for freight.and treatment to $6 has already been obtained from the Canadian Pacific, and a lower rate than this can be secured, but it is still - not low enough tp justify, us in making large contracts to supply ore. ' Negotiations are in progress, however, and I believe the solution of the. difficulty is near. The Canadian Pacific is favorable to the plans of treating low grade ores. The- Trail smelter is being greatly enlarged by thecompany and with this additidn to the plant there seems little doubt-that terms will be seemed that will be . satisfactory to both the mine-owners and smelter, and . that will mean a great deal for the ?afflB- .'The conditiqn of Rossland is exceedingly good. The labor difficulties are p/yer and j:hpy seem.to liaveb_een ^olved in a way that i\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD wholly satisfactory.

They-^ilJ be about 3Q0 tons 1 flajly at the cutset; This will all be of the- higher grade ore, With a better rate of treatment than we have now, I am informed that-we could mine with profit 1,000 tons per day. \"I visited the St. Eugene in East Kootenay and was much pleased with it. Though development has not gone to great depth yet and the continuance of the ore bodies below,' about 300 feet, has not been proved, there is an immense amount of ore above lhi\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD level and . thgee is every* Indication that it will__-Conti__ue_belowi-that_point.^\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD_,_Ehe= water has been low recently and the concentrator has been handling rather less ore, but this was made up by running a higher grade of ore, so that about an equal amount of concentrates Jja\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD beef} p/pdRced, Tjii\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD- giiestjpn of writer supply will goon be solved, however, as an extra three miles of Burning- ie being put in that wiU give a permanent plentiful supply, The operation of the mine is being a decided success, and there is promise that it will greatly increase in value of output as development continues.\" In * reference to the attitude of the War Eagle and Centre Star management toward labor matters, the following recent statement of |>(tr. Blackstock to the Rossland Record Is of interest: x - - 'x - '.We haye no quarrel with the Miners' ynion or any combination of workers. J do not believe in attempting to fight labor organizations, as it is a onesided contest from the start. The \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD pitu^tjoni. as, we- found jt up to, a cer. tain* point last year, was a perfectly intolerable one and we will never submit to it again, no matter what the result may be.' Our expenses had grown out .of all proportion to the results attained, and I believe that it was quite true that we had become the laughing , stock of all mining men owing to the 'mistaken course we adopted. For the future, let me tell you plainly, t^e mines will be; worked qn the strictest t*Hs*ness principles, and in favor of the Shareholders. Dp not mistwderstand me- we will pay good wage* to good men, but we will insist that the wages paid are earned. I am not making any axtravagant statement wtifin I say we definitely ascertained, during the period complained of, that many of thc men only really worked one-half of their time, and it became simply im- y SeptemforS, 1900, possible to carry the loid thus imposed. Consequently we were obliged to close down- as we did. \"I hope such a state of things will never exist again; but,\" added the speaker with a good deal of warmth, <:if it ever does, we will close down for so long that when we do start up again there will be no fear of further trouble. I wish it to be distinctly understood that this is.not a threat, but an iutimatiou of what we will be compelled to do. During my visit I have found a most decided improvement and I believe and hope it will continue. We have many good miners under contract,\" earning high' wages, and there is a great change forthe bet ter in many other respects.\" Speaking of the frequent rumors that thc two companies would consolidate, in the same interview Mr. Black- stock said: \"Personally, we are in favor of amalgamating the two companies, but the other shareholders would probably object. I was misquoted in.Tor on to in this matter. What I said was that shareholders of either the War Eagle or Centre Star would object to having the stock of the other unloaded on them. We have perfect confidence in both properties and I would not be understood to reflect on .either one at the expense of the other. We are pei- fectly well satisfied with the way both properties are coming on.\"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDSpke_iman- Review.

On Thursday night a numerously ^attended public service was, held, and at this the Rev. Hector Macrae, B, A., of Ejholt, was licensed and ordained. Much routine business was transacted at the several sessions. The various reports received were indicative of a generally improving condition aud healthy growth of church work throughout the wide area of country under the jurisdiction of the Kootenay Presbytery. The affairs of the Green- wood\ congregation had careful consideration. Rev. A. D. Menzies was appointed to conduct the services of the church in Greenwood on Sunday, ,2nd inst., and at them to read theJBnd- ing pf the Presbytery upon the several matters tha.t had received its attention. This asked that a new organization of the local church be undertaken; authorized the congregation to purchase a site opposite the Hotel Armstrong and tp greet; tl^erepn a chitrch building; granted pernijs^iQn to proceed with a \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDall to a settled pastor; and dealt fully with several questions of purely congregational interest. The term for which Rev. D. Campbell had been appointed minister having expired, Rev. Mr. Gandier was chosen, as interim- moderator for the congregation during the vacancy in the pastorate, he and Rev. Mr. Menzies being constituted a ; committee of supply for Greenwood for the sj\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDhe period. Commissioners were appointed to thoroughly effect I \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe suggested new organization and to act generally in the best interests of the congregation. Application was made by the Phoenix congregation to be :p_aced on the list-of congregations who receive aid from the Augmentation Fund, with a view to calling; a pastor. Rev. G. Sutherland, the missionary at present in charge, may\" undertake work in a. foreig-n fielid, probably in Demerara, British Guiana. .The site for a church .building at- Phoenix, selected by the congregation was approved. The 'resignation of Rev. JyMunro, Trail,, was.accepted, that minister being desirous of taking duty in the East. :\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD The Trail congregation applied to be placed on the augmented list for' six months. The* Sandon church building hnving been-destroyed by fire, the Presbytery, in view of the need of the congregation there, took up the question of aid towards re-building. It was decided to ask for a grant of $500 from the general Church and Manse Building Fund and to appeal to the churches throughout the synod of British Columbia, to r.tise $1,000 as further assistance tothatend. Arrangements were thus made to endeavor to meet this emergency. The issue of the customary certificates to Revs. J. McCoy and J. M. Wallace,who have removed from this Presbytery, was approved. It was decided to invite Rev.-Peter Wright, D.D7 of Portag-e La Prairie, to visit the Presbytery in the interest of the Century Fund, in connection with which efforts are being made to raise by June.next $1,000,000 for the purpose,of paying off.existing debts on church property in the Dominion and to provide a fund,to place the work, of the church on a thoroughly satisfactory financial footing. Towards* this fund the ministers have themselves undertaken to dot-tribute about $100,000; . . Rey.

The Rossland congregation was cited to appear, j.n connection with the resignation -of its .pastor, at an adjourned7 meeting of the presbytery to be;held in Rossland ot. Wednesday, 19th\inst. ' Rev.
