NO. 48. SANDON, B. C, SATURDAY, APRIL 15, 1899. FIVE CENTS. hi :',U THE CMflDiflN GROUP. Another Promising Property and Ad jacent to the iYanhoe. As time rolls on, more and more is coming to the surface to prove that the Slocan is a district of unrivalled wealth. Three years ago the mines of \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 which there was anything definite known, could be counted on the fingers of one hand, and now they are up into aeYeral scores. And yet the district is only in the initial stages of its development. Day after day hundreds of the best ledges in the country are walked over by many, of which there is to the present nothing known. The Canadian group, situated on the summit of the mountain between Silverton and Sandon, is one of the last properties to come into notice. Last summer a couple of ears of ore taken from development work were sent to the , smelter and gave most gratifying returns, running about 120 oz, silver and 58 per cent. lead. The property has recently been stocked by the Ontario & Slocan Mines Development Co., and may now be said to be on the list as one of the more important properties of ,the Slocan. The claims were discovered in the summer of 1892, so that all the work done on ' th3 propetty to the present has been at a disadvantage \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\u00BDwith a bad trail and a long distance from supply points. With a proper trail made, as the lay of the country offers, the distance mav be much 'shortened, if indeed not brought within 'three , miles of Sandon,- As the claims are more or less interlacing those oi 'the Adams group, lying just to the west, tunnelling will have to be in a measure the joint work of the companies owning both, if the work is to be done \" most advantageously for both properties. All told the group embraces some five .claims, including fractions, and covers about 150 acres. So far'some four'distinct leads have been-found on the property, varying '\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\u00BDin width from live tb'twenty feet, and \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDea,ch carrying paystccaks ol most satisfactory width carryin'gconcentrating.! ore and in sections pure galena. The ore bodies as far as encountered have been met with at varying depths, but all of them at no great distance from the surface vertically. There are on the premises bunk house and other accommodations for some 20 or more men, and as the new company is a strong one, no doubt much work will be done the coming summer. ly to profit by and enforce. The employers, however, are by no means so enamored of the idea, because they know that while they would be required to carry out to the letter any engagements or pledges lo which they might be committed, directly or indirectly, they could not depend on any similar guarantees from the workaien, who not infrequently throw overboard their own accredited agents and representatives^ they did no later than last year, on the occasion of the miners' strike in South Wales.

But still the difficulty ia always present that tlie men are apt to be influenced by paid agitators, or coerced by a handful of their own side, into the adoption of a course of action at distinct variance with the attitude ncidful to tlie friendly and effectual working of such a tribunal as Mr. Ritchie proposes. There is, moreover, the further difficulty\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\u00BDand with most men of both sides it would be likely to be fundamental\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\u00BDthat the Council.after all, could only contain at the most one or two men,who were capable of understanding and appreciating the true facts of the situation to be adjudicated on. The cotton men wou'd not care to liave important issues in their trade decided by iron men, nor the iron men by cotton men, nor mining men by either cotton or iron. So long as theic issues are settled locally, they are presumably settled by men who know something about them, but a general council\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\u00BDthat as Kipling says, is quite another story. The outlook for Mi. Ritehie's scheme is therefore not of the brightest. ..The main recommendation is that it'has the approval of the men, who, indeed, asked Mr. Ritchie specifically to bring them and the employers together for the purpose of discussing the whole question. Some of the leading associations of empleyers, including the British lion Trade Association, have resolved that they will aceept Mr. Ritchie's proposal to attend a conference, without thereby being understood to com mitt themselves to the details of any scheme which may be put forward. That, of course, is itfleirhn important step in the direction of conciliation, and every effort | in this direction is to be welcomed and encouraged in these days of 'wars and rumors of' wars' in the industrial world.\" '8 Splendid Record for the First Quarter of 1899.

The spirit, of conciliation seems to enter largely into the consideration of all questions affecting important public interests. In Canada we have had several attempts in the direction of establishing Courts of Conciliation, the object being to reduce the amount of litigation in small matters by effecting, as far as possible, amicable settlements. Arbitration in many matters -. of business has long been a recognized ':\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 vnorie of procedure. In national affairs the idea has been worked out to a large extent, in the reference of disputed points to an arbitration, so that now-a- days it appears almost unnecessary to go to war to settle disputes, a commission generally accomplishing the desired result. In the industrial world it is interesting to note that the latest proposal is to establish regalar \"Con- oilj non Councils.\" , As in almost eveiV movement for the betterment of the working people, British public paen are taking the lead.

Work has been resumed on the An- toine, near McGuigan. Some six or eight men are clearing the way for extensive operations. The late strike on the Wonderful is a solid body of galena, some four teet in thickness. The company are selling no more treasury stock, as they naturally conclude they have a fine thing in their hands now. By the time the snow is off the ground it is expected that work will be commenced on the Black Diamond, at the North Fork, and the Little Robert and Westfall groups located in tlie same vicinity. On the Lucky 4, ;i claim located on Boulder creek, about five miles from Thomson's Landing and within a short distance of the main wagon road, the chances are excellent for the commencement of a 150-foot tunnel during the early part of June. This property which is owned by Messrs. Cowan and Hickman, is under bond to Mr. Ebs- low, of London, Eng. We cannot easily get hold of the facts in the case, but we are assured that one of the greatest strikes of the season has been made on the Wonderful property. For several months great efforts had been put forward to find the m ither lode supposed to be a little higher up, from which the float ore, marketed to the present, had descended. It is the general impression , that the strike now made is on that lead, and, if so, it must be one of the important finds in the camp. The Sovereign mine has just been consolidated by the Montreal-London Gold and Silver Developing Company, limited, and will open offices in Montreal at an early date. Mr. William penditure submitted by the clerk were Strachan has been appointed president The Palmita. The fine showing on tho Palmita lead, lately struck, continues improving. Jenken Bros/have just completed 200 feet of their 500-foot contract, and this tunnel should tap the lead at, any time now. ,The lead now seems ' to be one of the strongest and most continuous of any in the Slocan, as it has new been uncovered and ore found in different places across their different properties.' As the Queen Bess's large showings are in lower levals, no doubt the same will obtain in the Pnlmita, and other claims. On the Ajax. Work is being pusned as vigorously as can be worked to advantage. Tlie ore body in the lower ttintfcl is continually improving as deptr> j's obtained. As soon as the Upper tunnefe oan be workee without danger from snow slides, stoping will be resumed and the force largely increased. The value of the property has been greatly increased bv late developments, and as soon as cannection can be made with upper levels regular shipping will be , commenced.

As we have always contended, Rossland has many good properties, but \"the proof of the pudding is in the eatmg,\"and the value of mines is the receipt from shipment, costjof production considered. Now, every man acquainted with the conditions of things in both camps knows that one man will mine as much ore in the Slocan as two will mine at Ross- land, so thatcoat of production here is not more than half what it is there, atld.

The report of the Canada Geological Survey shows that in '9S there was an increase of over $9,000,000, or nearly 32 per cent., in the production of minerals in Canada as compared with '97. In the more important mineral products the increases were as follows : During the month ef March Moyie shipped 20 cars of ore to the smelter at Trail. This is in the neighborhood of 412 tons of a gross value of 432,960, and a net profit to the mine owner\" of nearly S16,000. The St. Eugene shipped 370 tons and the Lake Shore inade up the balance of 42 tons. Since the fiist of February,1899, Moyie has shipped 822 tons of ore of a total value of over $65,000. As there were 28 days in February and 31 days in March, 59 days in all, it will be seen that Moyie's ore shipments have averaged considerably over $1,000 per day for that time. ... . ~^THi*iim\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Wants to Raise Chinese Poll-Tax.

The discovery of Ihe important pari; played by various bacteria in producing the flavor and aroma of butter has led to tho introduction of what are known as commercial butter cultures, and dairymen have been lefiS'to hope that by I ho use of such cultures and of the process of pasteurizing, tho quality of thoir butter might be materially unproved. Recent trials seem to indicate that cleanliness, the careful selection of milk, and close attention to details promise to effect more in improving tho flavor of buttor than pasteurizing and the uso of commercial \" cultures. With pasteurized cream, the acid forming cultures wero founo. lo give slightly but distinctly bettei results than wero obtained from unpasteurized cream ripened spontaneously, while non acid forming cultures gave results, if anything slightly inferior to those,obatainod by spontaneous ripening, Wilh unpasteurized cream, as might havo been expected, tho results were loss marked. A homemade starter, however, carefully pro- pared from skim milk, was found to give as good, if not bettor, results than the more expensive commercial culture, and this was trite both with pasteurized and with raw cream. No distinctly beneficial results were observed from pasteurizing, although tho experiments wero not specially planned to test this point. W. Rebei t- AND PERMANENT MEADOWS PASTURES.

No one who has' ever stayed at a Chinese, hotel can ever forget the experience. Each room contains a brick bed, in which a fire can-bo lighted for warmth in winter. 'J'heic is hardly ever any furniture , beyond a rough chair, and perhaps a table, while the windows are nothing but frames covered over with paper. Tho average. Chinese inn is usually n menagerio and zoological garden coin-, bined. In the yard below the window, or what stands for it, can be seen and heaid mules, donkeys, dogs, cats, fowls, of all kinds, pigs and camels, while in the rooms whore the weary traveler ia supposed to rest may be found a rich varity of things of creation (hat man certainly cannot make friends with. But the chief glory of an average Chinese inn is the waiter. ' This indispensable functionary is the guardian of all your \interests fo,r the time being, and when you arc not looking dives into secrets and matters ot your own that seem to amuse and enlighten him to your inconvenience and annoyance.

With it in summer he mops'his damp brow or bare shoulders, while iu win- lor, wrapped about his head it protects him from rain find wind. The Chinese waiter's napkin is put to all kinds of uses besides those just mentioned. It is used as a dishcloth, a mop with which to wipe the floor, t cloth far cleaning and wiping down tables and a duster. Perhaps the extremely low rates com pensate for,some of these things, but in strict justice, the. suave landlord should owe you money for stopping with him. ' ' PYGMIES IN THE CAMEROONS. - The existence of African pygmies at more than one point seems to be proved. German soldiers stationed hi tho Camerooua, the. colony on the east coast of Africa, have brought out ol the forest seven pygmies similar tu those recently described by Albert Bushnell Lloyd. Tho largest of them is four feet tall, tho smallest about three fe.et. One young woman, Man- tuba by name, was very carefully measured and described. Sho was nineteen years old, three feet six inches tall, chocolate brown in color, her fac-d tat tooed. Her eyes are somewhat diagonal, after the .Japanese manner. The head is large, the forehead slopes The first successful attempt at cooking by the heat of tho sun's rays was doubtless made by the Baron of Tchirnhauseii in 1CS7. Water placed in an earthen pot was brought almost instantly to u boil by a device he had constructed by means of mirrors. The JJa-ion cooked eggs in this way. THli PRIVATE PIG.

The claims arising from death among the insured were very favorable, and considerably under those for the previous year. TheTe were 99 deaths, calling lor the sum of 5183,931 under 112 policies. Tio valuation of tho policy and annuity obligations of the Association has been mado 'on the conservative basis used for tho two previous years, name-; ly; a rate of interest of 31-2 per ccnU for all business written since 1895, and 41-2 percent, for husinoss.wri I ten prior lo that date. The usual financial statements are herewith submitted, and they will be found to exhibit tho position'of the Company at the close of the year.

Taking the last four years, a total sum of $345,270 has been paid to Policyholders in this way, giving an average'of $80,319. During the same four years the net interest and rents received have been sufficient to pay the net claims arising from deaths, and leave a surplus of $153,840; and during the same period, the. expense ratic has been gradually brought down a result, in view of the volume of new business maintained and the existing conditions, your Directors betieve will bear most favorable comparison. Tour Directors, after careful consideration, concluded that the improvement in business generally would war- mil them building on the vacant, land on Queen street, which forms part of (he Head Office block, and they have acoordingly erect od a throe-storey brick building containing eight stores and two flats, the latter used as showrooms. All were occupied, as soon as finished. The balance of the vacant land south of the stores has boon ground- rented, and the lessee has erected a brick building thereon, for warehouse purposes, so that what was non-productive, is now yielding a very fair return, in addition to paying taxes and all other charges. Your Directors also, though receiving a good rental for Iho Yonge street bhops in the Head Office building deemed it wise, when tho corner store became- vacant some lime ago, to make changes in tho construction of the fronts on Yonge street and part of Richmond street, by which the heavy piers, which wore undesirable from a commercial standpoint, will give place to a construction' thai will admit of moro window space, and by that means be more suitable.for the purposes for which \"(he space is, likely to bo used. These -changes'are' now being made, and will shortly lie finished, and the whole space has boon lot at satisfactory rentals, and will be occupied as soon as tho changes aro completed. It will also be satisfactory to learn thai the Head Office building is filling up with good tenants at fair rentals and with good prospects. Reference was made in the last annual report to the returns from tho properties taken over in the City of Toronto, and your Directors are. now able to report a still further improvement iu the returns, with better prospects for tho present year both as to rents and sales.

To the credit of tho miners, of the Slocan at l^ast, it must be Baid, they have been no party to any agitation in any way, shape or form, in connection -with the eight-hour movement. With, perhaps, a few exceptions the mine owners in the Slocan treat their men well, giving them good board and comfortable quarters, and in these conditions the men generally seem satis.- fied. The government on their orvn responsibility inaugurated a radical reform in legislation, and it very naturally, from its character, gave a foundation to a commotion. Lest we \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\u00BDhould be misunderstood, in thi3 connection, we have simply to say that \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDur strictures on the setion of the government in this particular would have equal force in any other direction. What we mean is that no government is justified in making any sweeping changes in aay section of legislation, the enforcing of which disturbs ami- ' eable relations, unless asked to do it duties, by a substantial section of the community. Our reference to the late Act has no more application to the eight- hour movement than it has to any other reform. It may be, as a few suggest, that Martin, of Rossland, embodied the eight-hour proposition in his election platform ; but Martin, of Rossland, is no more the representation of the Province, than is Rossland the whole of British Columbia. There is no questioning the fact that all labor movements are in the direction of shortening the hours of labor in all callings; and when it is understood that \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 one hour's work a day exacted from every .adult, in the world, mule aad^ female, would feed the world's population as well as it is fed, the lessening of labor hours will be the better understood. - No one will deny that eight hours underground mining, even in this favored locality, is a heavy tax on the human constitution; and with the drift of labor sentiment, as it is the world over.ihe shorter time is bound to ' some into operation here as elsewhere, when public demand drifts that way. and the conditions of men and mines .become adopted to it.. The ridiculous .feature of the matter in this instance, \however, is in the ill-considered and undetermined position\" of the government\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\u00BDin their jump in the dark and difficulty .in finding footing when they alight. Politicians may do any ting to catch votes; but statesmen will never pass measures whose every feature and consequence are not well considered before the bills are drafted, much more passed. The sensible people of the country, summing up, will now say that if the amending law in question was sufficiently bad to call for this hesitancy on the part of the govern- inent.it should never have been passed; and, if it is good, it should be enforced when passed let the consequences be what they may. It has remained for our progressive government\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\u00BDthe one that boasts of phasing 110 Bills in a session\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\u00BDto pass Acts and suspend them, like Mohammet's coffin between hell and heaven\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\u00BDtoo low down for the angels to weep over them, and too high to be applicable to humanity.. those who desire it for entering the colleges of the country lor professional pursuits. In this advance step the government.and the school board have done their duty in placing such facilities at the doors of the people free of charge to parents and pupils alike. The remainder rests with the parents and children. There are several boys and girls in the city and adjacent points up to 16 yc ars of age and older who have little or nothing to do. Every one of, these ought to attend school for the benefit it may do them, and the showing it will give the city from an educational stand point. Parents should in no respect interfere with the teachers' methods, but instead concur in the latter, and thus strengthen the hands of the teachers. From such a course, the best results all around will surely follow. If the parents aid the teachers,they and their children will receive the benefits; the schools will flourish ; and if the place grows, as we all think it will, it will shortly place us in a position to demand and secure still better facilities. In a word, let parents see that every available pupil in the place io sent to school, and that the hands of the teachers are supported in their trying the country from disastrous consequences. No blame can be attached to the miners for discontent in this connection. They read an eight-hour law on the statute, mischievous in many of its features though it be, and they simply Bay we want the law observed. They are perfectly within their legal sphere in saying this and acting accordingly. They are in no | way responsible for the damaging features of the law; these are the funeral of the government. KEEP YOUR JOBS. OUR SCHOOL. Mr. J. J. Boran, of Donald, who holds a first-class certificate, grade A., telegraphs the Sandon School Board that he will be here to-day (Saturday) to take up the principalship of our public school on Monday. He will commence in the present school building and continue for a short time till better arrangements can be made. This announcement suggests a duty to parents. For months past there has been a clamor, long and loud, for a;male teacher, and, now that there is one.en- gaged, the matter rests entirely with the parents whether the school will be a success or not. There are altogether, including Cody and the district tributary to.,. Sandon, some 85 children of school age, from which there ought to be a regular attendance of 50 or 60. The government expects as an average oyer 40\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\u00BDthe maximum for one teacher. and will not continue the second teacher here unless the average attendance is over that number.

Instead of assuming the responsibility themselves for an Act of their own creation, they are going to instruct the .representatives of the Kootenay country to sound theircon- stituents, and if they^nnd.the measure is npproved of in the Kooteny, the law will be enforced, if not, it will be repealed. This brings the matter to our representations in last week's issue\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 the government should have learned, whether or not, such a measure would be aeceptable to the people before they'paused, the Act. Had they taken this, the etateman's course, and not the pot-house politician's, in \"the first place, all trouble,/.~lconfusion--and loss to the country, jthat must now result inevitably, - would have hjeen averted.

We want it distinctly understood that The Review favors eight hours aa the standard day's work; lout we would like to see men free to hire for longer hours without penalties, if they and their employers find it to the interests of both so to do. We want liberty of the subject, and not slavery to tlie\" caprice of an incompetent government. We want a man free to work on hisw.own property as long as he likes every day without fear of a penalty from despotic potentates. Enforcing such a law as this one is, in all itb hideous- ness, apart from the eight hours itself, means a shut down of all the mines fer months, the driving away of capital from the country, and ultimately, when the storm and its disastrous conse are past, a $3.00 camp, which no sane man desires tc see. Instead of making an important matter like this a football for the politicians to turn to account, through fraud, give due netice of an incoming eight-hour law that will leave employers and employees a freedom in which to arrange after details, as may be most advantageous all around, with immunity to To most people it will appear evident that iii this day of impending labor commotions, unlimited reports of strikes in 'mines, and fabulous finds, the best advice one can give to laboring men\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\u00BDpractical miners included\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 is, if you have a good job keep it.

It may now be taken for granted, from the'telegrams that..have been received in- different* parts of the province from Victoria,- that the government will aot enforce the eight-hours amendment. We ask those who have taken exception to our comments on the government for. passing a law that nobody asked for, if this does not plaoe the vote-hunting . government in a most humiliating position. If they had made the amendment fix eight hours as a day's work under ground, and avoided penalties for non-observance, every man in.-the country would have endorsed it. Under such \"j\ law the per diem wage question /would soon have been settled, and le''t over- time or undertime/to be arranged between employers and employes, as interests called for it. As the law stood, however, if a few men owned a claim and worked on it themselves under ground longer than eight hours' a day, they were liable to a penalty as a man hired would Be.\" This thing of rushing through legislation to catch votes is the work Of the political trickster, and should be discouraged by all respectable people. The proper course, in taking up a measure, is fiist to con- consider whether or not the public demand it; the next is a consideration of its effects in the country ; and if they are seen to be serviceable, ultimately pass it and force its adoption, let the consequences be what tbey may. If it is found to be impracticable, though a. vote-catcher, in the name jof common sense discard it. 7 Bij; Mr. Wm. J.

Death is an enemy that must be knocked out in the first round, or he is pretty sure to conquer in the end. A weak stomach, an impaired di gestion and a disordered liver mean that a man is fighting the first round with death. Unless he manages to strike the knock-out_ blow, it means that death will come up in the second round in the guise of some, serious malady. When a man's stomach is weak and his digestion is impaired, the life-giving elements of the food he takes arc not assimilated into the blood. The blood gets thin and weak, and the body slowly starves. In the meantime the disordered liver and the sluggish bowels have forced into the blood all manner of impurities. The body is hungry and eagerly consumes anything that the bloodstream carries to it. In place of healthy nutriment, it receives for food foul poisons that should have been excreted by the bowels. Continued, this system of starvation combined with poisoning, will wreck every organ in the body. Naturally, the. weakest organ will give way first. If a man is naturally nervous, he will break down with nervous exhaustion or prostration. If he inherits weak lungs, the consequence will be consumption, bronchitis, asthma, or some disease of the air-passages. If he has a naturally sluggish liver, he will suffer from a serious bilious or malarial attack. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures all disorders of the stomach, di- festion and liver. It purifies the blood and lis it with the life-giving elements of the food that build new and healthy tissue. It is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder and nerve tonic. It cures 98 per cent, of all cases of consumption. Thousands have i testified to their recovery from this dread' disease under this great medicine. Dr. Pierce's. Pellets cure constipation. \" .IMPURE.BLOOD\" Always cleansed, purified and enriched by Burdock Blood Bitters. Mrs. John Douglas, Fuller P.

It was as well that his prairie (raining, had given,Jefferson Hope the ears of a lynx. He and his friends had hardly crouched down before the .melancholy hooting of a\" mountain .owl was heard within a few yards of them, which was immediately answered, by another hoot at a small distance. Ac the same moment ; a'-vague, shadowy figure emerged from Ihe gap for which they had,been making-, and uttered the plaintive signal cry again; on which a second man appeared out of ihe obscurity. \"To-morrow at midnight,\" said the first, who appealed to be i \ authority. \"When, the whip-poor-will \alls-throe times.\" - I \"It is well,\" returned the other. \"Shall I tell Brother Drebber?\" \"Pass it on to him,- and from .him to the others.

Their concluding words had evidently been some form of sign and countersign. The instant that their footsteps had died away in the distance, Jefferson Hope sprung to his feet, and, helping his companions through the gap, led the ,way aoross the Holds at\" full speed, supporting nnd half carrying the girl when her strength appeared to fail her. \"Hurry onl hurry onl\" he gasped from time to time. . \"Wo are through the line of sentinels. Everything depends on speed. Hurry on!\" Once on: the high-road they made rapid progress. Only once did they meet anyone, and then they managed to slip into a field, and so.avoid recognition. [Before reaching the. town the hunter branched away into a rugged and narrow foot-path which led to the mountains. Two dark, jagged peaks loomed above fhem through the darkness, and the defile which led between them was the fEagle Ravine, in wbioh the horses were awaiting them. With unerring instinct, Jefferson Hope picked his way among the great bowlders and along tho bed of a .dried-up watercourse, until ho came lo the retired corner, screened with rocks, where the -.failhful animals had been picketed. The girl was -placed, upon the mule, and old Ferrier upon ' one of Ihe horses, with ' his money-bag, while Jefferson Hope led the other'along ihe precipitous and dangerous paths. It was a bewildering route for any oho who was-not accustomed to\" face Nature in her''1 wildest moods. On the one sido a great ,crag towered up a -thousand feet or more, black, stern and As the sun rose slowly above (ho 'eastern horizon, the tops of the great mountains lighted up one after the other, like lamps at a,; festival, until they were all ruddy and glowing. The magnificent spactaclo cheered the hearts of the three fugiiives and gave ihem fresh energy. At a wild torrent .which swept out of a ravine they called a halt and watered their horses, while they partook of a'hasty bieakfasl. 'Lucy and her father would fain have rested longer, but Jefferson Hope was inexorable. \"They will be upon bur track by ibis time,'- he said. Everything depends upon i ou r speed.'; Once an fe in Carson, we may rest\" for the remainder of our lives.\" During the .whole Of that day they struggled on through ihe defiles nnd by evening they calculated that they were over th.ii.ly miles from their enemies. At nigbt-timo they chose Ihe base of a beetling crag, whe.e the-rocks offered some protection from the chill wind, and there,' huddled together for warmth, they enjoyed a few hours sleep. J3efore day-break, however, they were up and on their way once more. They had seen no signs of any pursuers, and Jefferson Hope began.to think that they were fairly out of the -reach of the terrible organization whoso enmity they had incurred. He little knew how far that iron,grasp could reach, or how soon it was to close upon.(hem and crush them. About the middle of the second day of' their flight their scanty store of provisions began to run out. This gave the hunter little uneasiness, however, for there was gomo to bo had among the mountains/and he had frequently before had to depend upon his rifle for the needs of life. Choosing a sheltered nook, he piled together a few dry branches' and made a blazing fire, i a(-: which bis companions might warm themselves, for they were now nearly five thousand feet . above the sea-level, and (he air was, bitter and keen, having lef-hered the' horses and bid Lucy adieu, he threw his gun over his shoulder and set out in search of whatever -'chance might throw in his way.

None came save his own cry, which clattered up the dreary silent ravines, nnd was borne back to his ears in countless repetitions. Again he shouted, even louder than before, and again no whisper came back from the friends whom he had left such a short, time ago. A vague, nameless dread came over him. and he hurried onward frantically, dropping the. precious food in his agitation. When'he turned the. corner, bs earn \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 full in sight of the spot where i h > f i'c had been lighted. There was still a glowing pile of wood at.hea, (here, but it had evidently not been tended since his departuio. The snme dread silence still, reigned all round. With) his fears all changed to conviction ho hurried on There was no living creature near the\" remains of the tiro; animals, man, maiden, all were gone., It was only too clear thiit some sudden and', terrible'disaster had occurred during his absenoe-^-a disaster which had embraced vthem'all and yet had K-ft no traces behind it. Bewildered and stunned by this blow, Jefferson Hope felt his head spin round, and had to lean upon his riflo to save himself from falling. He was essentially a man of action, however, and speedily iccoverod from his temporary impotenco. Seizing a half-consumed piece of wood from the smouldering fire, he blew it into a flame, and proceeded with its holpto examine the littlo camp. The ground was all stamped down by the feet of. horses, showing that a largo party of mounted men had overtaken the fugitives, and Ihe direction of (heir tracks proved that (hay__had afterward turned back to Salt Lake City. Had they carried back'both' of his companions with them t Jefferson Hope had almost persuaded himself (hat they must have done so, when his eye fell upon an object which made every nerve of his body tingle within him. A littlo way on one side of the camp was a low-lying heap of reddish soil, which had assuredly not been there before. There was no mistaking it for anything but a newly dug grave. As the young hunter approached it, he perceived that a stick had been planted on it,- with a sheet of paper stuck in the clefi fork of it. The inscription upon the paper was brief, but to (he point: . . JOHN KERRJER, Formerly of Salt Lake City. Died August 4, 1800. \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 The sturdy old man, whom he had left so short a time before, was gone, then, and this was all his epitaph. Jefferson Hope looked wildly, round to see if there was a second grave, but there was no sign of ono. Lucy had been carried back by their terrible pursuers to fulfil her original destiny, by becoming one of the harem of the elder's son. As the young fellow realized the certainty of her fate and his own pow- erlessnes8 ' to prevent it, he wished that he, too, was lying with (he old farmer in his last silent: resting-place. Again, however, his active spirit shook off- the lethargy which springs from despair. If there was nothing else left,,to him, ho could at least devote his life to revenge. Wilh indomitable patience and perseverance, Jefferson Hopo possessed also a power of sustained vindictivenoss Svhich he may have learned from tho'iIndians among whom lie had lived. As ho stood by Ihe de.solate fire he felt that, the only ono thing which could assuage his grief would be thorough and complete retribution brought by his own hand upon his enemies. His strong will and untiring-energy should, he-determined, be devoted to that one end. With a grim, \"-uhile face ho retraced his steps to where he hail dropped the food, and having slixred up the smoldering fire, he cooked enough to last him for a few days. This he made up into a bundle, and, tired as ho was, he set himself to walk back thiough the 'moun'a'ns up? n the (rack c f ihj A^eng- ing Angels. , For five days, he toiled, toot-sore and weary, through (ho defiles which he had already traversed on hoiseback. At night he fluhg, himself down; among the rocks and snatched a\ffew hours of sleep.;.,'.but before- day-break he was always well on his way. On the sixth day he reached the Eagle Ravine, from which they had commenced their ill- fated flight. Thence he could look down upon s the homo of the Saints.

As' he looked at it, lie observed that Ih^re were flags in some of the principal streets; and other signs of festivity.
