Miss Nellie .Gladstone of London, Eng., a noted botanist and student of geology, who has, been visiting at Banff with a party of friends, .was found at the foot of a cliff in an .unconscious condition, having fallen ^froni above while reaching for a plant. '' Miss Gladstone,- who is credited with possessing too much daring, got separated from her companions, who, accustomed to her acts , in that way, thought little of it and returned to their rooms. Next morning the alarm was raised that she had not returned. A search' party started out, and late in the afternoon a boy of the party found an inanimate heap'at the foot of a cliff, the evidences surrounding it telling their own tale of daring'and disaster. Miss Gladstone had apparently been, leaning over the rock tovsecure a specimen when she. fell. She was taken up for dead and' conveyed to the nearest shelter a long way off. There, it was found both legs we're broken, the right arm twisted in the shoulder joint and a huge gash on the forehead, which fortunately the overnight fiost* had\", congealed and thus saved loss of blood. Restoratives of the handiest kind were applied and after a great deal of labor she opened her eyes; but still uncouscious.y Two days passed like this, when delirium set in.

In ^ ^ As this district is deeply interested in the silver question it will interest our readers to understand it as.expounded by the Louisville ' Courier-Journal, one of the leading American dailies. Needless to say, we do not altogether hold with the .stand taken,by our contemporary, as we think free coinage would not-only put up the price of silver/but keep it up, if the ratio were fixed at, say, 16 to 1. The Courier-Journal says: * , The purchasing power of the silver dollar, which is now equal'to that of a gold dollar, , would be reduced if the present policy of the Treasury were abandoned. Silver dollars would re-' main a legal tender, but that would' not preserve their purchasing power. They would have the same debt-paying power as gold, but no debts would then be paid in gold. ' Silver or its equivalent would be, exclusively used to pay debts, and would have for that purpose the same power as at present; but when used to purchase commodities its value would be reduced, because the prices of goods, in silver, would.be' raised. The,purchasing power of a dollar at present is the same as that of 23-22 grains .'of fine gold, whether in bullion'or gold coin. There'are 371J grains of fine silver in a dollar, but it requires about twice that amount of 'silver bullion to'purchase 23'22.grains. of gold, bullion. This -simply \"means that we,are, using the gold standard. If we had the silver standard,'the purchasing power of' the \"dollar would be' that of 371J grains \"of \"silver \"bullion,- which at present is about fifty cents. . -% -. The ratio of 16 to 1 of gold to silver; simply means that 16 ounces of * silver are of equal value' with one '> ounce of gold. Recently an ounce of gold has been selling for as ' much as 32 or 33 ounces of silver; as the exact ratio' varies from day to day, we* will call it 32 ounces. Now it is obvious that the dollar cannot be worth at the same time the value of the gold bullion which it contains, and the value of the silver bullion,'since these'are in the ratio\" of 2 to 1. It'maybe either,1 but it cannot be both. 'At present it has the purchasing, power of the gold bullion, and the'differenfkinds of dol: lars are kept at a^ parity, that\" is, at equal'purchasing power, by-the policy of the Treasury - Department, ,whicii gives, the same purchasing power as 37l{ grains of silver bullion. Free coinage advocates say the price of bullion will rise. Possibly it might rise 10 per cent.; if so, the purchasing power of the dollar would be 55 per cent, of what it is now.

It is quite probable that the adoption of the silver standard would put up the price of silver bullion for a time. The passage of the Sherman Act put up the price of silver to $1.21 an ounce in about a month. Then it began to recede; and it is now about' 64 cents. Probably something of the same sort would follow free coinage, but in the end the purchasing power of the dollar would probably not be materially higher than the present price of 371\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD grains of .silver bullion.

One of the men,' holder,.than his fellows,'took an axe and waded in towards the monster. For a time it appeared as if a miniature cyclone had struck that part of, the waters, but the man stood his ground and got in a few blows with the axe on the shark's head which temporarily stunned it. He then got a sharp iron bar and stabbed it, ito the heart. It is lift.14in. long, 2ft. bin. across the back, and large in every other part in proportion. It has the peculiarly arranged rows of teeth and the minute osserqus granules covering the skin which are peculiar to the shark tribe. This peculiar arrangement of the.. shark's skin makes it.valuable for polishing hard woods, for which purpose it is in much demand. The capturer. of the shark has put it on exhibition.

A strange occurrence is reported from the district of Hsing Koochow. -In the neighbouring province of Anhui, where there are' extensive coal workings, a party of miners recently struck an ancient shaft where history records that a great catastrophe occurred 100 years ago, the recoi-ds being preserved amongst the local archives. The' miners on reopening this old shaft came upon upwards of 170 bodies of the former workers, lying where they had been overcome with foul gas four centuries hack. The corpses were as.if those of yesterday, quite fresh looking, and not decayed in any way. The faces were like those of men who had only just died. On an attempt being made to move them outside for buriaUhey one and all crumbled away, leaving nothing but a pile of dust and the rem- Hants' of the stronger part of their clothing. Long Distance House Moving. A curious case of house moving was recently witnessed iu Oregon: A man who owned a residence at Seattle, which cost him $5,000 to erect, removed to'Olympia and did not have sufficient funds to build another house. N He bought a lot and concluded to remove the building he \"owned at Seattle.- Everyone laughed at him, but he persisted. Rolling the house down to the river, he loaded it upon a scow and it was soon at Olympia, a distance of about 60 miles. Then he had it rolled upon his lot and, strange to say, not a timber was strained nor even a piece of furniture broken, although lie had not removed the contents before starting the house upon its unusual journey. A despatch from Chicago, dated 8th* Oct., says Joseph Humhal, the members of .whose family were poisoned by eating'^oadstools by mistake for mushrooms, died last night from the eflects of the poisoning.\" The entire family, comprising the parents and three children, have died. ,' ' It is said that the Rev. Mr., JBinney, who has declined the, office of Bishop rfor the Diocese of * New- \V>stminster, has, .within a recent period, declined two other bishoprics. He is spoken of as an'exceptionally able man, and one who would do honor to the high office in any diocese of the Anglican Church.

What few lots are coining in, are poor in quality, and we figure them ou a basis of our last quotations for furs. Have had quite a few letters in regard to the- prices for furs during the, coming season. We have replied that we- would quote furs as soon as the season com'- menced, and have discouraged the ear- ' ly catching of furs; in fact, tlie only kinds that are of any value when fcafc- en during the'early fall are bear, beaver, muskrat and skunk, and these all grade as unprime fall goods, with prices proportionate. Some bear killed during the summer are not worth much more than the transportation 'charges,, but we can allow something for them when shipped with skins caught later.'

Wi: fancy some soil of apology is 19 due to our readers for again touching on this threadbare question. Engineer Hamlin has been lieie during the week to have a look* at the river on behalf of the Provincial Government. lie thinks the best plan will be to thtow the current across the waste of sand which was, not so \"very long ago, the bed of the river. This is exactly what was adVocatcd by the Koulenay Star three years ago, and anyone who walks along,the bank from the town to the smelter will see that it is the only plan ' that will be of any service in protecting the high bank from? opposite the schoolhouse to the stacker wharf. This portion 'of the bank i.s over 50 feet high and is composed of the \ cry finest of fihe\"saiT(17^1nl5~tlie water below'is very deep, and greatly agitated with strong eddies which dig out the sand , lying below the water mark and bring down huge slices of ,the powdery bank every hour of the day. It would only be a waste of money to attempt' piling along this part of the river front, as, \". on account of the depth of water and the sandy foundation, tlie piles would .have to.beL.of 'extraordinary length to reach above high water level. If high water over covered the piles how long would it take to' wash out the backing andJ continue tho process of'' eating away the bank' as before,' leaving the piles standing in the; middle of the river. No, piling, will be of no use for that portion of the bank. The best thing to do will be to pile from the bridge nearly to the courthouse, or,- perhaps, behind Coursier'B store, where the shore end of a strong wing-dam should commence, running downward and outward with a very slight angle fbr.a' distance, of at least 300 feet.,,, .This -wing-dam, if built strong enough, will throw ,tho current across theexpanse of sand which the river has stolen from the eastern bank. With the current making a new'chan- nel for itself,'the present,one will.silt - up, and the eddies in the deep water 'at the spot mentioned will\" cease,\";because there will be no current running there to create eddies. Thus the undermining' of the bank would also cease, and the smelter would be saved.' The present condition of a wing-dam constructed last winter' in , the Nar-' , rows- is a good example of what will take place -here. In the still water behind' the dam the mud\" sand and gravel have silted up on ii level with the \" top -of the dam and offer a solid, ' substantial backing which no force of water can break through. The wing^dam . Mr. Hamlin intends (or expects-) to build will have to.be of more than ordinary strength, as tho current from the'bridge to \"the \"upper wharf is-probably as swift as any portion'of .the. river between here and the Arrow Lake. It will cost a great deal more than the.amounts prpmised by the two Governments, that is, if it is rto answer the purpose intended. It is understood \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD that the preliminary work 'of getting out timber and rock will be commenced, next week. _ This \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD will-take considerable time, and it may reasonably be expected that two or three feet of show will cover the ground before .actual operations can begin. Plenty of labor is to be had in the town. There will, be no need to bring in men from outside to do the work. One thing we would impress ou iir. Hamlin's attention, and that is if the high water cornea before- the work is entirely finished, then goodbye to the whole business. BRITISH COLUMBIA AND FREE TRADE. It is evident that the next Dominion election will be fought on the lines of Free Trade versu* Protection. That universal free trade would he a blessing to the whole work! is not to be denied. In protected countries every article of commerce except labor is given a fictitious value, thus curtailing the working man's ability to save a portion of his earnings,' even if his wages are higher than they would be under .free trade. But it, would on the -face of it appear to be folly to throw open our'market to the whole world without obtaining a like concession for the goods we have to sell. 'TV's questionable whether a- \".tariff for, revenue V&.y-\" which is-the nearest approach to -free trade we can expect to have in this country, will have the effect of cheapening articles to any extent. But with genuine free trade British Columbia would benefit to an incalculable extent, while Ontario would lose her British Columbia trade. Here in the mountains it is more a question of freight -rates than free trade. With the tariff taken off American' eooda .'-rs would save most of the money we are now compelled to pay in the shape of freight rates to the monster monopoly that now squeezes all it possibly can, out of us.

Thomas was cut out for1 great--r things than a mere factotum in the back yard of a government ollice. The assessment of lots in Revelstoke came as a great surprise to nineteen-twenti- eths of our citizens. But it need not have been, as the whole thing had been .in preparation for some time past. It- will b\"e remembered that'about two months (or perhaps less) ago, Mr. Cad- man visited several lot-owners with the plausible tale of wanting to buy a lot for a client who 'wished to build.\" He wanted a corner lot in a commanding position ; in fact, the best in the townsite, and asked the owner to put' his own price upon it. In some cases .$200 was asked, in others $500, and in one or two cases the owner; would not sell at arf,\"although the '-wily\" Thomas' made an offer.of. $200. His position as a retired real 'estate dealer, of course, lent color to the genuineness of his efforts to buy.a lot; But tjfie whole-thing\" was a \"plant.\"' -It was a'put-np'job'';to get at the assessment value of the lots,'- in view of the 'corning coivp iV clat, of which the'citizens weWh- blissful ig: nora'nee.

It was brought to the attention of voters in every town and camp in the province. Every newspaper published advertisements and notices of the dates and places ; forms could be obtained almost anywhere, and no one could say that he knew nothing about it. But even then there were many who did not go on the list. In this district we have, no political associations to look after their voters. If a man wishes to get\"on the list he has to see' to it himself. But the difficulties placed in the way.by those who arc responsible for the Dominion list make it very improbable that half the. voters in this district, at least, will be able to vote at the forthcoming geri- eral election. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD * Tn the light of recent events nt the public school, it, would seem that the lime 1ih': come when the giiKnud hoy. should'bc in separate rooms and separate pl.iy-grounds.

The high water has been a great drawback this summer, but a good start has been made and the work will go right along through tlie winter. The recent heavy rains caused the creeks to rise and delayed operations. t , i - , .. ., i .\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD -, -\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD. iu<- nil-, viouiuc tumuli lulu-Mil iias receiv- endeavor to * make the work of.alaaft-J\" , .\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD . . . \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDi. - .-. , . - - -.,_' .v. . t\~ -:.-- \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-,- '\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDed the appointment of Chref Comrnrs- mg character rather ..than fry to cover . . ; < ZK ., , ;r- \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD,<*.* \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD -.-, .,,.',. . . \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD , , srondrof Lands and works for B.

The structure had to all appeaiances been built on a solid rock foundation, but the rock must have rested on a bed of quicksand or some such shifting strata and the heavy rains -recently no doubt caused the trouble. However, Joe started in to devise a plan to get his train over and first tried a raft which' proved a failure. He then, gathered what assistance he could and commenced the erection of a temporary bridge. .While thus engaged, A. N. Beaton arrived up with his pack train and he was pressed into the service., Work was progressing favorably when on Tuesday Tom Downs and a trail gang arrived on the scene. They had been sent along the trail to clear out slides aqd repair bridges and arrived just in time to lend a hand to the volunteer force. The new bridge, which is located 600 feet above the old'structure, has a span of 68 feet, and by Wednesday was far enough advanced to permit a resumption of traffic, when the volunteers took their various ways, and left Mr. Downs and his men to complete the work.
