Thousand's'of people break down in health every year from overwork. None of them live in New Denver. Licking stamps sometimes brings on cancer of the tongue. Licking an editor often brings on sudden death. Many naked bathers have recently been arrested near Toronto. This is an outrage that would n,it even occur in the Sandwich Islands. R. E. L.

Brown is well-known in the Slocan, having large interests at Whitewater. His sobriquet of Barbarian was given to him owing to his connection with a paper of that name in Idaho. It also helped to distinguish him from Dirty Shirt Brown and Kettle Belly Brown, two characters famous around Spokane in old boom days. In the Slocan we at one time had to nick-name the Browns in order to distinguish them. We had Corduroy Brown, Chipmonk Brown, Charcoal Brown, and Painter Brown, L the latter better known a_ Step Ladder Brown in the world. The fringe only has been cut. The Douglas pine, cedar, spruce, Alaska pine, and other timber standing in the railway belt is esti mated to amount to 25,000 million j board feet. The coast also is heavily wooded as far north as Alaska; there is no white pine, but spruce attains perfection. The total exports of wood and its manufactures from the Dominion amount to over, seven million sterling per annum, .Quebec and Ontario sending nearly two-thirds of this amount, while almost the whole goes to the United States and to Great Britain in nearly equal quantities, the advantage, however, being on the side ot the former. rUmfliTfc DiH\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDhnThiTnitiTnTHT-i^'*' oetreal Established 1817.

Nelson people are alarmed because frogs have been seen in the reservoir of their water supply. No need for alarm until they see snakes in their scotch and soda. For some reason some of the Toronto papers must be enamored with the Golden Star mine. It looks as though the love was caused by the power of some broker's gold. Four hundred United States editors passed through B. C. the other day without taking a look at the Slocan. Being innocent, they will never miss what they might have seen. The Standard Oil Co. has secured the oil trade of Canada and now they are after the iron. This octupus will likely get what it wants as it is much stronger evidently than the present government of the Dominion. The Nelson Miner states that 57 men are working at the Athabaska for $3 a shift, and that the miners at the Wakefield are working on a $3 basis. This is no doubt pleasing to the Miner and other papers of its class. The papers say that millions of dollars worth of gold continues to come from the Klondike. We believe it, although not from ocular demonstration, as we have not seen enough of the yellow this summer to plug a back tooth. GOKS TO KXRICH 'UXCK SAM. In a news report telling of the bringing down from the Klondike by the steamship Garonne of 550 passengers (mostly, if not all, booked for the states) together with some three million dollars worth of gold dust, the following significant paragraph ap pear : . \"The Canadian Bank of Commerce sent down no less than $1,000,000 in dust, all of which will go to Seattle as the bank officials say that the lack of a mint in Canada renders it easier for them to dispose of their dust on the American side of the line.\" Of the other two millions divided in smaller lots among the passengers j Stl.ee(. Jom.nal this annual production The production of the precious metal for 1899 is estimated at $340,000,000 The returns for the first four months of this year show that the ratio of increased production continues and will add $50,000,000 to the production ot 1898, which was $290,000,000, bringing the 1899 total production up to $340,000,000. The increase in Africa alone if maintained for the rest of the year will make the output of the country $26,000,000 more than it was in 1898. For the period ot 30 years (1861-1890) the average annual production in the world was very evenly maintained at $115,000,000, never running below 90 million nor above 130 millions. For the seven years (1893-1899) we find, the annual average double that or 230 millions, increasing from 157 millions in 1893 to 340 millions in 1899. The Director, Mr. Roberts, of the United States mint estimated that in 1897, 25 per cent, of the production of 1897 went into manufactures and arts, 75 per cent, of the estimated production of 1899 at the same ratio will supply for monetary uses this year $255,000,000.

If a man commences to kill people on a small _cale the law will crush his enterprise and elevate him as speedily as possible to a position where his feet cannot touch the ground. At his funeral there will be no flowers and little sadness. If the same man would join the army in time of war he would And the business run upon different lines. In his capacity of a soldier the more -of the human race he could slaughter pine important tree, as in Ontario; but it *s rapidly disappearing. Good spruce is found in many districts; there is a great waste of hemlock on account of the bark. Some of the best cedar areas in the Dominion are on the north shore of New Brunswick. An unsurveyed area of about two millions of acres on the Upper Resti- gouche is reported to be full of good spruce and cedar. The once rich pine forests have been greatly impoverished. The same is true of Nova Scotia; a quantity of good spruce is left here, but is also being wasted. British Columbia possesses the largest compact timber resources J. & R. D. CAMERON, Tailors. Sandon.

Scott said he believed there was a lot of unfound mineral territory between that locality and the Colorado river. The two miners smiled at his tenderfoot credulity, and said he was welcome to all he found They tramped over the rocks and extinct volcanic craters towards the canyon, while Scott hired a pack horse and went off to the northwest, toward the White Hills silver mines. He had not been gone ten days before he came upon soil indications of a highly mineralized formation beneath. In a day more he had found enough outcropping-s to assure him of the presence of valuable ore running-in a series of long* narrow ledges in the hills of the desolate valley where Chloride has since sprung up. When the assays showed ore which yielded 12? ounces of silver, 30 per cent, lead and about S8 in gold to the ton, Scott could have shouted with joy. With such a showing he quickly interested capital, and the development of the ore bed began forthwith. Mr. Scott sold his interest in the three mines last year for $175,000. The two miners from whom he parted at Ash Fork on that August day in 1896 are this season prospecting among* the Tuolcrso Mountain, in New Mexico. Mr. Scott and his family are traveling* in Japan.

With regard to Ontario's mineral production for 1898 nickel is still her most extensively developed industry. The copper and nickel mines of the Sudbury country gave employment to an average'of <510 men during 1898, and the wages paid to them amounted to \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD315,- 500; as against \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD253,256 in 2897, and S-240,151 in 1896. All the ore produced was smelted, reduced to matte, and. then exported to the United States to be refined; 8,373,560 pounds of refined copper were produced, valued at $268,- 0S0, and the product of fine nickel was 5,567,690 pounds, valued at \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD514,220. These valuations are based upon the selling price of the, matte, which is figured to be one-third of the market price of the refined metal. The total value of both metals produced in 1898 was 8782,300, and in 1897 was but 8559,- 710. In 1896 it stood at \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD247,151. The gold bullion produced during 1898 was 16,075 oimces, valued at \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD271,906, but this does not include the product of one mine on the Seine River. In 1897 the bullion product was 11,412 ounces; in 1896, 7,154 ounces; and in 1895 it was but 3,038\" ounces. It is expected that the presort year will show a much heavier increase, both relatively and positively than the past four years. The iron product during 1S9S wasas follows: Pig iron, 48,253 short tons, valued by the selling price at \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD530,789. The industry employed 130 men, and the total wages paid was \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD61,476 During the present year the product will be increased by the recent establishment of the Deseronto smelter, no returns from which will be included in the above figures. INDIAN FIGHTING. Hze the good things of British Columbia. But how the position has changed! A few years ago the United States could not develop her own industries without our aid; but now she is taking our development in hand.\" THK QUEEN BESS PROPRIETARY. The prospecting experience of James B. Scott, who found the Wallapi group of mines at Chloride, in Mojave county, Ariz., is, says the New York Sun, worth relating. Scott was in the mining region less than a year, and he had prospected with two experienced miners less than four months when he actually stumbled upon the Prince, the Texas and the Faithful mines, which together are yielding \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD80,000 a month in silver and ]ead. Scott came west for his health. He had been a tutor in chemistry at the University of Ann Arbor, Mich., and knew metallurgy as taught in the college laboratory. Very naturally, he drifted into the mining regions of Arizona. He.was at United Verde mine at Jerome., Ariz , for a few weeks, and then went to Harqua Hala mines at Ehrenberg, on the Colorado river. When the summer of 1.896 drew near Scott felt tho heat of southern Arizona severely. He proposed that a party ol miners should go across the Territory' to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado for the summer, making the trip on horseback, and prospecting along the way. Two miners fell in with the plan at once, but several other old-time, prospectors pooh-poohed the idea of looking for mineral wealth along the route from Harqua Hala, 200 miles northward to the Grand Canyon. \"Why, young man,\" said they, \"there is no more chance of finding a ledge of any sort of pay ore in that country than there is of catching humming-birds in the Arctic region. The whole .country was run over by prospectors before you were born, and there's fool prospectors who have chased over the hills every month since There is no mineral up that way \" But Scott and two miners, nevertheless, started out for a summer at the Grand Canyon, and they went prospecting along the way. That was in May,' 1896 A scout, who served with Custer, tells this story of the closing scene of one of the General's battles with Indians in Oklahoma: \"After returning to the village I heard a heavy firing down the river, in the direction of Cook's sharpshooters. I rode rapidly in that direction, and found a small party of warriors, with their women and children, at bay under the embankment. During a freshet the bank had been undermined, causing it to cave in. The mass of dirt made an excellent barricade, the Indians getting between it and. the bank, They were protected from above by the overhanging turf, which had not been carried down by the dirt The Indians were firing at the sharp-shooters on the other side of the river. The latter were unable to dislodge them, but poured a hail of bullets on them. The shots of the Indians became fewer and fewer, until they ceased altogether. The warriors were dead. It w-\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDs then that I saw a terrible example of aCheyennemother's despair. A squaw arose from behind the barricade, holding a baby at arm's length. In her other hand was a long knife. The sharpshooters mistook the. child for a white captive, and yelled: \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDKill that squaw; she's murdering a white child.' Before a gun could be lired the mother, with one stroke of the knife, disembowelled the child, drove the knife to tlie hilt into her own breast and was dead. A trooper poked his carbine over the embankment and shot her through the head, but it was a needless crueltv.\" Run by Yankee Capital. The London Financial News pertinently says : To judge from Mr. Abraham Smith's consular report to Washington on \"Mining and Trade in British Columbia,\" this important Province of the Canadian Dominion is being largely run by Yankee capital. The mineral resources of Vancouver Island are being pushed \"largely by United States capital.\" The Victoria Lumber and Manufacturing Company is \"composed almost wholly of United States capital,\" and so on:. The mines \"are stocked with Yam The report of the directors of the Queen Bess Proprietary Company, Ltd., for the period from 22nd September, 1897, to 31st March last, and presented at the meeting held in London on 13th inst., states that a net profit has been earned of \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD9,548, from which has already been paid an interim dividend of 6d. per share, absorbing \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD2,500, and leaving an available balance of \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD7,048. This the directors recommend should be appropriated as follows: In payment of a further dividend of 6d. per share, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD2,500; in writing off one-third of the total amount spent on development work at the mine, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD2,728; in payment to the directors of 5 per cent, on the dividends paid (\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD5,000), \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD250; in payment to the late managing director under the terms of his agreement with the company of 1 percent, on the dividends paid, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD50; and carry forward to next account \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD1,520\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD7,048. The directors think that the result is satisfactory, especially when the fact is taken into consideration that until the past winter no regular shipments of ore were made as, acting under the advice of the engineer in charge, the energies of the management were till then largely directed to the opening up and development of the mine. At 31st March last a total of over 3,500 feet of tunnelling had been completed, besides a large amount of work done in putting in the necessary upraises and winzes to connect the various levels. Ore was being stoped in each of the five levels, and to give some idea of the capacity of the mine it maybe mentioned that the ore shipped in the month of March, 1899,' was 763 tons. The output for the period under review averaged a gross value of \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD14 per ton, the average cost of mining, sorting, haulage,etc., was \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD3 6s. 8d. per ton, and the average cost of freight, treatment and duty was \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD6 9s, 9d., making together \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD9 16s. 5d., and leaving a profit per ton of \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD4 lis. Recent returns from the mine show that considerable reductions have been made in the cost per ton of mining, and also in the freight and treatment charges. Further economies are also being effected in the general administration of the company's affairs. The total amount spent on development to 31st March last amounts to \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD8,183, and notwithstanding the fact that this develop, ment has opened out large bodies of ore ready for stoping, the directors have thought it wise to write off one-third of the total amount expended against the proceeds of the ore already mined. Two of the directors\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDMessrs. John Visger Miller and Chas. K. Milbourne\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDhave resigned their seats on the board, and Messrs. Robert B. Archibald and Chas. S. Drummond have been duly appointed directors of the company to fill the vacancies so created. Mr. C. K. Milbourne has also resigned his position as managing director in British Columbia, and Captain T. J. Duncan has been appointed general manager in British Columbia. John Williams will soon have for sale large quantities of red, white and blackcurrants. Leave your orders early.
