So fur as work has proceeded on tbe Dundee mine, the results are greater than were expected. Some splendid ore has been mined, running high in values.

Trout Luke Topic. A representative of the Topic was up to the Horseshoe the other day. At this property Andy Craig has a force of four men engaged taking out a shipment of ore. The material runs from 150 to 300 ounces silver, and while there the Topic representative was shown some of the finest solid grey copper ore ever mined in the Lardeau. Tho development work done up to clears away, the shipments will be on | the present aggregates ahout 150 feet a much larger scale, as there is abund-' and up to the present there has \"been agce of ore available, and every facility for handling it. BOUNDARY MINING NOTES. Phoenix Pioneer. The tunnel on the Blue Jay, which is now working once more, is in nearly 200 feet, and the ledge is expected to be reached in a short time. Last Tuesday the Elkhorn mine, owned by Phil McDonald and James Sutherland, sent another- car of ore that will net $100 per ton to the Greenwood smelter. The mine is shipping regularly about two cars of ore monthly, and is looking better than ever. In the new No. 4 tunnel of the Granby mines, at the back door of the Pioneer ollice, which was started some little time ago, work is proceeding steadily, and the face isab.iut 100 feet from the portal. This tunnel, which is being driven un a five per cent Incline \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwill feach the 300 foot level of the Old Ironsides mine.- \"With plenty of cars available, ore shipped from tbe property about 1^ carloads of ore giving an average value of $150per ton. There is now sacked about 4 tons of ore which it is believed will exceed all previous shipments in point of value. At the present time the owners are up against it a little for they are forced to hoist the ore and waste lhey are now now mining but later on in the year this will be remidicd by the continuation of a tunnel which when completed will give a depth of 150 feet from the surface. - A new shafthouse has been built aud the cabin is one of the most commodious and neatest there is to be found in the country. The property ad joins, the Lucky Boy which isone of tlie -best of our grass- root shippers, and the fact that Craig and Hillman are develop-' oping the same lea-l an I the con viuc- ing evidence of the great value bf past shipments goes to demonstrate- thut thero id the'iuaking-of a great and rich mine in the Horseshoe. Craig and Hillman are a couple of lucky fellows but they deserve it as they are two of the earliest of Lardeau pioneers uud EVENTS AND GOSSIP Tlie Scotchmen and the Englishmen in Nelson have their national societies, and now the Irishmen \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD are determined to do something in the way of per--, petnating recollections and love of old Ireland.', When we say Irishmen we of course mean not only: those who were bom in Ireland, but also men of Irish\", descent. With this end in view a meeting was held in the Madden House parlors last Wednesday evening when the first steps were taken in the direction of forming a St. Patrick's Society. W. A. Galliher, M. P., occupied the chair, and T. J. Scanlan acted as secretary. In a few well chosfn remarks the chairman explained tthe object of the meeting, after which it was decided to name the new association the St. Patrick's Society of Nelson. A committee was appointed to make arrangements for the Board of Trade rooms to hold a meeting- of Irishmen this evening, when the organization will be completed. After a careful canvass of the number of Irishmen aud their descendents in Nelson, it is believed that'a society numbering at least 150 can be formed. Among other things to be discussed at the meeting this evening will be the manner in which the anniversary of Ireland's national saint will be observed, also arrangements for the regular.monthly meetings of the society and the election of officers. leaky taps must be fixed, he fixes them, for he knows the landlord won't. The only thing he is dead sure the landlord will do is collect the rent, incidentally raising it a couple of dollars every six months or so. This is no overdrawn picture, aud the evil is already \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD', working its own cure.

The landlords may all freeze to death or go to the-poorhouse, b'ut if these lesser evils do not materialize we may some day see an earnest body of wild-eyed tenants parading the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDcity streets headed by a man with a red flag and every mother's son in the crowd wearing his landlord's gory scalp as a belt buckle.'' & L P, ocal and aJl rovincial Aid- Hamilton, of Rossland was in I The Lucky Jack tunnel is how in the city thia week. j 330 feet.

C, of the firm of Messrs. Bodweil &. Duff, of this city, will be appointed, in a few days to the seat on the Supreme Court bench, made vacant by the retirement of Mr. Jnstice Walkem. The appointment will_ give general satisfaction,_both_tp_.the_members_of the Provincial Bar and to the public with whom Mr. DufF is personally popular. Mr. Duff during his practice in this Province, has given proof of the possesion of ability and qualifications that have advanced him rapidly in his profession, and he now stands among the leading members of the Provincial Bar. He has been engaged in many of the most important cases that have come; before the Courts, while his reputation as a lawyer was recognized a few months ago by his selection by the Dominion Government as one of the'Canadian counsel in the case for the Dominion before the Alaskan Boundary Tribunal. Still in his early prime of great energy and industry, and persevering and conscientious in the conduct of every case entrusted to him, Mr. DufF will add strength to the Bench of the Supreme Court, and will bring to His judicial duties all those qualifications which have gained him such au enviable reputation as an advocate.

The committee has gone into the matter very thoroughly aud is of the opinion that it has made out a very strong case. Wednesday morning of last week, Rodney Ralph Maclean, a young rancher iu Pax ton valley, about four miles from the Grand Prairie road, committed - suieide-by-blowing-ofP-the - top of his bed with a rifle. When found, the unfortunate man was sit- tiug in his house quite dead, and between his knees, with but resting on the floor, was the rifle with which lie had put an end to his existence. He had evidently gone about his fell tasK with great deliberation. Lying accross the trigger was a broom, handle, and having placed the muzzle where he wanted it, directed at the centre of his forehead, he held it steady -with bis \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD hands and discharged it by simply pressing on the broom handle with his foot. The top of bis skull was blown completely off aud vvas fouud lying ou tbe floor. The New York Times, in a recent issue, dealing with the manner in which the Associated Press gathers its war- news, said in tbe course of a lengthy article:\"Early on the afternoon of the day of the fight a despatch of 1,200 words, containing the story of the sea fight at Port Arthur from the lip3 of eye-witnesses on board the Iiido-C.'litiia steamship Columbia, began., to <\"-**ne into the New York office of uuc Asssociated Press.

Rather 'bored, Sir Henry at last remarked that though his friends somewhat unkindly declared that he\" could chatter on any subject, he was obliged to own that he was utterly a\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD sea on the topic of dogs. The. lady looked -astounded. \"Why, are you not Sir Henry Howorth?: I understood, from our host that you were the author' of.'a/learned book on Mongrels, and I was so delighted,, as I am 8-j interested in all kinds of dogs.\" A .story is told of a certain Eiigrllsh bishop well known for his verbosity who rose' to address the House of Lords on a very Important occasion. \"I will divide my speech under twelve heads,\" he said, to the discomfort ol Oils, audience. The Marquis of Salisbury begged to be allowed to Interpose with a little anecdote. \"A friend 01 mine was returning home late ona night,\" he said, \"when opposite St. Paul's he s^-w an Intoxicated man trying to ascertain the time on the big clock there. Just then It began to strike and slowly tolled out twelve. The man listened, looked hard at the clock and -said, 'Confound you, why couldn't you have said that all at once?'\" The bishop heartily joined in the laughter which followed, and took the hint contained in the story. , Dr. John Kerr, the well-known Scottish school Inspector, was once faced in a BanfTshlre manse by this'questioh put to him by the lady of the house on behalf of her inquisitive son. \"Mi*. 'Kerr, is it true that the devil goes about like a roaring lion?\" \"It must be true,\" he replied, \"for. it ls In the Bible.\" A. shrill voice came from the corner: \"Then wha keep3 his Are in when he's gaun aboot?\" Dr. Kerr also tells an anecdote of a -woman who had just lost her husband, and the minister calling to condole with her found her sitting in front of a large bowl of porridge. \"Terrible loss, terrible loss,\" sighed the minister. \"Aye,\" was the reply, \"it's a terrible loss to me. I've just been greetln' a' nlcht, and as sune as I finish this wee drap porridgs, I'm just graun to l>egln again.\" NELSON ASSESSMENT DISTRICT Court of Revisinn and Appeal Take notice thnt 1 shall hold a Court of .Revision and Appeal for the Nelson Assessment.
