Chalmers went\nup to attend io something above tho\ntrack on which the electric., crane\nruns, and had just got up on a\nlevel with it,, and had thrown his\nleft arm over the rail, when the\nsmall crane came along, and before\nhe could withdraw it the arm,.,,was\ncaught and badly mangled. The\nunfortunate man was taken -..down,\nand Dr. E. R. Northrop was immediately summoned. After tbe arm\nhad been bandaged, Chalmers was\nremoved to the hospital,, where, .on\ncloser examination, it was found\nnecessary to amputate the arm above\nthe elbow.\nChalmers is a young man of 32\nyears of *kge, and unmarried. He\nhas been employed at- the snfelter\nfor some time, and has a large circle\nof friends in the city, with whom he\nis vory popular, and who will deeply\nregret to learn of the sad mishap\nwhich has befallen him. His home\nis in Quebec.\nThose'who witnessed the accident\nsay that Chalmers was looking out\nfor the big crane, instead of watching the smaller one.\nLittle Henry, son of Mr. and Mrs.\nFrank Fritz, met with a painful accident last Saturday afternoon.\nWhile he and his little sister were\nplaying in their yard with an axe,\nin some manner Henry had the\nfirst finger of his left hand cut off\nat thc k,nuckle joint Dr. Northrop\nwas called and dressed the wound.\nMrs. Fritz and family were to have\ngone to Coleman, Alta., on Saturday, but owing to the accident will\nhave to remain for aiiutheu-wcfck.\nThe Sun enjoys the ehflfferit dis-.\ntinction of being the only twicc-a-\nweek newspaper published in southeastern British Columbia.\nN.

This move has\nbeen expected for some time, but up\nlo this week no official announcement had been made to this effect.\nThe company expect to havo 1200\nmen at work between Phoenix and\nthis city, and construction will be\nrushed with all possible speed. The\nspur to the smelter will also be\nbuilt, apd it is hoped that Phoenix\nand the Grapby smelter will be connected by rail over the Great Northern before Bnow flies next fall.\nThere is a lot of heavy rock work\nto be done on the Phoenix branch,\n.and the benefits to be derived by\nGrand Forks from the building of\nthis section are. exceptionally good.\nIt is reported that W. I. Bassett,\nC. E.,and J. H. Kennedy, late chief\nengineer ofthe V., V. & E., have\nboth been ordered back to this city.

The total pioluctiim\nlor thc province in 1903 was 1,276,-\nOJO' tons. Of that amount the\nBoundary produced 085,000 tons,\nor 94,000 tons more than the combined output of all the other sections\nof the province. And yet six years\nago there was not 100 tons of ore\nproduced in tin? Boundary.\nThe customs collections for the\nport of Grand Forks for the year\n1903 amounted to. $05,885, being\n$800 more than the collections for\nthe port of Rossland.

C. coninany. Il is surmised\nthat money market conditions are\nchiefly responsible for the failure of\nthc deal.\nDr. Hendryx has furnished the\nRepublic News-Miner with a statement that the mill has been running on ore of lower grade than the\naverage at the Mountain Lion mine,\n89 per cent of which was ground to\nHO mesh and li per cent coarser\nthan HO mesh. The values recovered wpre'88.03 per cent. The agreement with the mine management\nwas to save Ho per cent ofthe values\nof average ore, ground to 80 mesh.\nTherefore tho process has done better than mis required of if, and that\nwhile working under many disadvantages.\n.

With the\nemployment of 1200 men on construction work between Grand Forks\nand Phoenix, business in this eity\nwill take an upward turn; and there\nis no doubt but that the completion\nof thebraneh, and the increased facilities for shipping ore, will have a\ntendency to induce the owners' of\nmany idle properties along the new\nroad to commence woik, thus adding lo thc Boundary payroll.\nCity Assessor Instructed to\nCommence to Compile\nAssessment Roll.\nIr is stated that there are 95,C00,-\n000 germs on an old dollar bill.

George Forquer, an old and\nrespected citizen, who had changed his\nparty, and almost simultaneously had\nbeen appointed to a fat office by hia\nnew friends, was present. Just at this\ntime Mr. Forquer had completed the\nfinest house in Springfield and over it\nerected a lightning-rod, the first In that\nregion. At the conclusion of Lincoln's\nspeech, Forquer took it up m himself to\nreply, commencing thus: \"This young\nman will have to be taken down, and I\nam sorry the task devolves upon me.\"\nHe then proceeded to answer Lincoln's\nargument in an able and fair but patronizing manner. At length Forquer\nended and Lincoln had the floor to reply. \"The gentleman has s-.-en fit,\" said\nhe, \"to allude to my being a young\nman, but he forgets that I am oldfr In\nyears than in the tricks and trades of\npoliticians. I desire long life und I desire place and distinction, but 1 would\nrather die now than, like the gentleman, live to see the day that I would\nchange my politics for an office worth\n$3,000 a year and then feel compelled\nto erect 'a lightning-rod to protect a\nguilty conscience from an nr \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 \u00E2\u0096\u00A0-*\nciod.\"\nWANTED\u00E2\u0080\u0094Special Representative\nin this and adjoining lerritorties\nto represent and advertise an old established business hniii-c of solid\nfinancial standing.

CURTIS had a\nstrange experience not long\nago when he called at a b.mb\nIn Russia to make a drift\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2falrist his letter of credit. \"I was met\nat -the door by a man in gorgeous livery, with a long staff In his hand,*' he\nivrltes. \"He led me Into a reception-\nroom which was sumptuously furnished.\nUpon the center-table were several volumes of photographs, a city directory,\na railway guide, th* last report of the\nbank, two or three guide-books, and\nseveral morning papers. Over In one\nof the corners was a handsomely\ncarved writing-desk furnished with all\nsorts of stationery, While I was wondering what I was there for, a gentleman of Irreproachable' attire and manners entered, and asked how he could\nse^ve me. I explained that I would\nlike two hundred and fifty dollars on\nmy letter of credit, and wondered how\nhe knew I was an American, but he\nhad doubtless learned from long experience to distinguish the different nationalities, and 1 soon discovered by\nthe manner In which he received subsequent arrivals that he could speak\nGerman and French as fluently as\nEnglish. I handed him my letter of\ncredit, and he bowed politely and left\nthe'room. For a time I was alone with\nmy own thoughts. I looked over all\nthe books and papers, watched 'the\ntraffic In the street from the window,\nmade two or three entries In my notebook, And wondered1 If the polite gentleman had not forgotten all about me,\nwhen a page In buttons entered with\na sliver tray, upon which were two\ndrafts \u00E2\u0080\u0094duplicates \u00E2\u0080\u0094for my signature.\nThe little fellow bowed like a French\ndancing-muster, and seemed to be\ndeeply Impressed with a sense of responsibility. He came in several times\nafterward on similar service for\nother people, and his salutes were repelled each time .with an exactness\nthat showed careful training. I was.\nafraid he was going to be gone all day,\nand became Impatient. I sat down at\nthe desk to write a letter, and had\nwritten nearly a whole sheet when he\ncame back with my letter of credit and\nthe money upon his tray. But the latter was all In bills. I handed him one\nof them and asked him to get It\nchanged. He bowed again and disappeared. I must have spent fifteen\nminutes regretting my folly, when the\nhandsome -manager came in to enquire\nIf there had been a mistake. He seemed\nto think I had been overpaid, and was\ngreatly relieved when I told him .1 only\nwanted a bill changed. He disappeared, and it was another ten minutes\nbefore the boy returned'with the smaller hills. I had been In that room for\nmore than three-quarters of an hour.\"\nWo Thrashed You\nDEAN STUBBS of Ely does not llkf\nChicago. In his book, \"In a\nMinster Garden,\" the Dean's\ncauserle revolves amiably round Ely,\nbut where he discourses on his holiday\nin the New World he becomes most\namusing. Of Chicago he says: \"J\nthought it the most hatefully unlovely\ncity I ever was In. There were fine\nbuildings, of course\u00E2\u0080\u0094warehouses for\nthe most pari, of the 'sky-scraping'\nvariety\u00E2\u0080\u0094bui, as a whole, hateful, simply hateful\u00E2\u0080\u0094a clanking wilderness of\nendless streets, monotonous, unplc-\nturesque, untidy, dirty, foul.\"\nYet the Dean tells at least one story\nwhich proves that Chicago, for all Its\ninlovellness, has a knack of digesting\nall who go to live there. It relates to\nArchdeacon Ruohton, the secretary of\nBishop Maclaren, The Archdeacon was\na Torkshireman by birth; he had married a Canadian; but be had. been settled for some time in Chicago. \"His\nchildren, he told me, were born In that\ncity. One day lately his youngest boy\ncame home from school looking grave\nand solemn. He had just been promoted to the history class, and had\nbeen reading about the War of Independence. 'Father,' he said, 'are you a\nBritisher?' 'Tes, my boy, I am.' *Oh.'\n. . . Mother, are you a Britisher?'\n'Tes, dear, I am,' she said.

The eyes\nof the newspvper world have\nbeen upon The News for the past few\nmonths, during which time several\ndepartures have been made which\nhave given thnt paper a widespread\nreputation for enterprise and originality.

Only a deep-founded\nbelief in the future' success of The\nNews could lead the publishers to\nmake such a reduction in price.\nBut just as the dollar magazine has\ntaken hold of the people, so, we venture to predict, The News will secure a vast and ever-increasing circulation, based licit only on the popular price at which it is sold, but\nmainly upon the intrinsic merits of\nhe paper.\nWe have arrangements concluded\nwhich enables us to club the Toronto\nNews with our own paper at $2.25 a\nyear in advance.
