THE V. V. & E. GROSSING Deputation from Grand Forks Waits on the Hon. Minister of Railways and Enlists his Influence in Their Behalf. For some time past the V. V. it E. have been endeavoring to gain an err trance to Grand Forks by running a branch from their Cascade-Republic line, about three miles distant. In order to do this, however, it is neces sary to cross the Kettle Valley line from Grand Forks to Republic. The matter is now before the courts but so far the V. V. & E. bave failed to obtain the desired crossing. The matter is one in which the citizens of Grand Forks are vitally interested as buisness in that city, the Hkbai.d is informed, is practically at a standstill pending tbe decision of the courts in this matter. The Grand Forks Board of Trade learning of Hon. A. G. Blair's intended visit to British Columbia, wired him an invitation to visit Grand Forks for the purpose of looking into the matter. Mr. Blair, however, was unable to spare the time to make the trip and the Board of Trade thereupon sent a deputation to wait on him while passing through Revelstoke for the purpose of explain- ing the true position of affairs. The deputation consistee Neil McCallum, mayor of Columbia; Chas. Cummings, of Grand Forks, and J. B. Henderson, of Grand Forks (architect of the new school buildings). These gentlemen went up the line Monday morning as far as Glacier and returned with Mr. Blair on No.l. They pointed out to the hon. gentleman the benefit to be derived from the \"V. V. & E. entering Grand Forks, not only by that city but by the whole country\". Mr. Blair inforined the deputation that the matter had -never been, properly, representedItp the Railway Committee as'they understood ic to- be siniply n fight between -two' rival . railway companies, and assured them that so far as he was concerned hits' influence would be used towards having the matter settled in the way desired hy the people of Grand Forks. As the decision of tlie' court rests upon the recommendation of the Railway committee the deputation feel confident thnt with such un assurance from Mr. Blair their wishes in the ma.ter will be attained. In order to have.the matter immediately attended to. Mr. OCTOBER The city council met Friday morning when the' important deal,between the Revelstoke Water, Light & Power Co. and'tlie^city was consummated. The deed,transferring the company's pro* perty was duly executed and the city's cheque \"-tor $05,500 passed into the lianas of Mr. W. Cowan, who repre* sen ted the company. Mi*. R. Gordon was engaged by the city as manager of the works at a salary of $125 per month, and Geo. Lembke was engaged as electrician at a salary ol $100 per month. Arrangements were made with Mr. Cowan for the rental of flve telephones at $2 per month for each instrument. The instruments are placed as follows: One in each of thc fireballs, one at the power house, and one each iu Gordon's und Lemhke's rooms. Tenders for gravelling contract were received from R.

He states that excellent progress has been made with the development of all four properties during the past season, and that tha Guinea Gold in particular has shown up splendidly. On the Old Gold the principal work during the summer was the driving of a 321 foot tunnel to tap the vein at a vertical depth of some 200 feet. A crosscut was run to intersect the ore and this has almost been attained. In the upper workings a shaft was sunk some twenty feet on thc vein now being tapped at depth. It was shown to carry eight to 14 inches of solid ore averaging $100 per ton. In company with Dr. Gifford, of Minneapolis, managing director of the Marilla and Guinea Gold companies, Judge Miller brought out a shipment of tifteen tons of ore from the Old Gold camp. The ore will lie sent to the Trail smelter for test pur_>oses Judge Miller states that the rever- beratory smelter at Ferguson is not yet in operation.

In the north-eastern corner of the reservoir, also, were found, five feet below the surface and between twenty and thirty feet to the west of the original bed of the river, Lthe remains of a supposed Viking ship, clinker-built of oak, about fifty feet in length. The planks are fastened with iron nails. It has been found that certain prawns, common along the coasts of England, change their color at least twice every: 24 hours in order to harmonize with the stronger or weaker light prevailing near the surface or in the deeper water.

'Sam' was a born humorist, and could have made his fortune in the lecture field. When he lived up our way ho was engaged on one occasion to defend a lot of boys and girls charged with disturbing a religious assembly out In the country, by 'laughing and giggling' Is the way the Information read. The case was tried beforo Squire A. C. Bnlloy, a good old man, who hns lonn slnco gone to his final reward. Like all cases ot the sort, It attracted nn Immense crowd from tho vicinity ot the alleged outrage. T. C.

All the defendants were children of good families, hnd It was their tlrst orfenco. Thoy candidly admitted they laughed out in church, and tho Stato Insisted that by their own mouths thoy wore condemned. Brother Tlce Spears, a righteous man of Puritanic type, was the main prosecuting witness. He had conducted the services, and he testified that his peace was sadly disturbed by the unseemly behavior of the 'rioters.' After he told his story in chief he sat down with clasped hands waiting for the defendants' attorney to begin on htm. He didn't have long to wait. The examination began like this: \"'Brother Spears, you led the meet- In' last night?' 1 \"'I did, sir.' \"'You prayed?' \" 'I did, sir.' \" 'And preached?' \" 'I tried to.' \" 'And sung?' \" 'I sung.' \" 'What did you sing?' \"'\"There is a Fountain Filled with Blood,\" ' sir. \"Here Mr.:'.*Dyaart pulled a hymn- book from his pocket and handed it to the witness, with the remark': \" 'Please turn to that song, Brother Spears.' \"The witness did so. \" 'That's what you sang that night?* \" 'It is, sir.' \" 'Well, stand up and sing It now, If you please.' \"'What!' \" 'You heard what I said, Brother Spears.' \" 'But I can't sing before this sort ol crowd.' o \" 'Brother Spears,' with much apparent indignation, 'do I understand that you refuse to furnish - legitimate evidence to this jury?' \" 'N\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\u00BDno\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\u00BDbut, you see ' \" 'Your Honor,' said Mr. Dysart, '] insist that the witness shall sing the song referred to just as he did on the night of alleged disturbance.

There is a vast difference between singing to a* congregation in sympathy with you and a crowd of court room habitues.

Oil in Western ('anada is the latest discovery and one which will not only make this country famous but will result in greatbenefitto Vancouver and of great profit to many of her citizens--. A company has been formed in this city by Mi*. J. B. Ferguson, with a huge capitalization, and sufficient stock has been subscribed to begin operations and secure sections of land adjoining that on which the oil wells have been sunk. This venture is not one of pure speculation, for oil has been discovered some time, ancl the only question that now remains is to ascertain just in what quantities the valuable product is. The. wells are situated in the western part of the district of Alberta, immediately east of the British Columbia boundary, and soapages of oil have beeu in existence for a considerable period. Wells were sunk to discover what quantity of oil was there, and Air. Ferguson has now in his office three grades, each of which is of merchantable value, and the wells, if developed, shjuld- prove of great value to the investors. The story of how Mr. Ferguson first became aware of the presence of oil is not uninteresting. _ It was known for a time that oil was to be found in that \"district, as one man had made a fair- living in gathering the seapage product from the surface and refining it in a crude way had disposed of it to sur rounding farmers and others for their uses. A few months ago a man was sent to Mr. Ferguson with land to sell, llu asked that he be paid $05,000 for a section of the land, where traces of oil had lieen found, but this was considered too high.- Enquiry developed the fact that the land in question was either worth tbis much or was valueless, and after negotiations a bargain was effected. Subsequent prospecting resulted in discovering that in a number of places on the acquired land oil was to be found at a very reasonable depth, and the matter was not made public until adjoining properties had been purchased. The company formed in the city is composed of a number of the leading business men and others, who have taken shares of the value of 8500 each. Sufficient capital has been subscribed to enable operations to be commenced and it is not improbable that extensive discoveries will be made. The advantage of this to British Columbia and A\"7nicbiVver\"caii-weli-be\"iiiiagined,-when- the development of those portions of the United States where oil has been taken from the earth is taken into accounnt. Vancouver will be the main marketable point of the new product, which up to the present has not been discovered in the Dominion of Canada in any large quantity.

If a. man wrongs mo willfully nnd does not come back to right the wronjr, 1 drop hits face from the hay loft of my memory and recognize him no longer as a man. He is no more to me after this'than any other dumb animal. I have compassion for h'un, the same as I have for a strange dog or a mule, but I no longer look into his eyes to find Hue friendship or honest intelligence. I forgive him, but I never forget the wrong. I do not willingly allow him to pile up f.ny new wrongs against me. It is too hard to absolutely and thoroughly.torgive one wrong, and I am not going to woik my moral conscience to death for any one mean man. \"When I forgive a man and the injury heals over and and the hair of for- md Texas the oil industry has had. the effect to revolntionize'certain lines of business, and while these great results may not be so apparent here, it cannot but be greatly advantageous to this city. In addition to the samples of oil which are contained in bottles in Mr. Ferguson's office, tliere are also quantities of gum, that is soil soaked with thecrucle petroleum. This was brought from the land which has been acquired and is one of the first indications of oil that is found.

The importance of the frequent sales of rags of every description, stockings, mungo and the like, despatched from all parts of the British Isles, and several continental countries, held at Dewsbury, Bat- Icy, Leeds and other centres In the manufacturing districts. prove the truth of the foregoing assertion.

It is stated that thousands of pieces are sold weekly in thc shape of meltons, serges and the like, and that the art of finishing as practised in Yorkshire has reached such a state of perfection that it is now quite possible to hide from the ultimate buyer the defects of the fabiic, .particularly hiding the foundation material of the cloth. In The Yorkshire Daily Observer of March 29th last reference is made to a cheap class of coverts brought out by some leading manufacturers, composed of a mixture of worsted warp uni a cheap carded weft termed Angola, a high-sounding name for a blend of cotton with mungo. Having a satin or Venetian weave, the weft is thrown on the back of thc cloth, leaving the faco with a worsted appearance. The cloth is well constructed and has a large de-^ mand. An Assize trial at Leeds on March 17th last has settled the vexed question of the vague terms \"All wool\" and \"woollen,\" and we now know that \"all wool\" means all wool, but \"woollen\" means anything that is composed \" of shoddy, mungo and cotton.

A. Suverkrop of Philadelphia, who during his trips to South America has been for some\" years contributing to the collection . of liis friend, Professor 5T. E. Brown, of the Herbarium, Kew Gardens, London. The wonderful plant which Mr. Suvcrkrop has now found is an orchid that takes a drink -\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\u00BDwhenever it feels'thirsty by letting down a tube into the water. When not in use the tube X3 coiled up on top of the plant. One hot afternoon, says,.Mr. Suver- krop, I sat down under some brushwood at the side of a lagoon on the Rio de la Plata. Near at hand was.a fores.t of dead trees which had, been choked to \"death by orchids and climbing cacti. In front of me, Btretching over the waters of the lagoon and about a foot above it, was .a .branch of one of .these dead trees. Here and there clusters of common planta del aiTe grew on it, and a network of green cacti twined round it Among the orchids I noted one different from the rest, the leaves, sharp lance-head shaped, growing all round the root and radiating from it. .Prom the center or axis of the plant hung a long, slender-stem about one-eighth of an inch'thiek and one-fourth of an inch wide. The lower end of this was in the water tota depth of about four inches. o I went over at once to examine my discovery, and was surprised when 1 \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\u00BDtouchcd_the plant to see the center stem gradually contract and convulsively roll itself up in a spiral like a roll of tape. I found on examination that the stem was a long, slender, flat'tube, open at \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\u00BDlhe; outer end, and connected at* the inner end to the roots by a series of hairlike tubes., - By subsequent observation I found that when ,the plant was in need of water this tube, would gradually unwind till it dipped into thc water. * Then it -would slowly coil round and wind up, carrying with it the quantity of wntcr that the part of the tube which had been immersed contained. When the final coil was made, the water was \"poured, as it were, directly into the roots of the plant. The coil Tcrn-ined in this position until the plant required more, water. But'should the plnnt be touched .while the tube ii extended, the orchid acts like thc sensitive plnnt, and the coiling is more rnpid. I found many of those plants, nil directly over thc water, or over the place where he water had been. In the latter case it was almost pitiful' to, see how the tube would work its way over the irround in search of water that .was not there.

With n. wild shout from the bowman, we drove our paddles home. The groal canoe trembled a little at first as our work was somewhat rugged, but a moment later we settled into an even stroke and swept buoyantly among.tlit tossing billows. Now before us ran s strange, wild river of Boething white, lashing among great, gray-capped, dark- greenish bowlders that blocked the way. High, rocky banks standing olose together, squeezed the mighty river into n tumult of fury.. Swiftly we glide down thc racing torrent and plunge through the boiling waters. Sharp rocks rear above the flying spray, while others are barely covered by the foaming flood. It is dangerous work. We midmen paddle hard to force the canoe ahead of the current. The steersmen in bow and stern ply and bend their great seven-foot paddles. The bowman, with eyes alert, keenly watches the whirling waters and Bigns of hidden rocks below. The roar of seething water; drowns the bowman's orders. Th'.' steersman closely watches and follow-*^ every move his companion makes.

Another deduction was that the -evidence adduced at the enquiry with respect to the action of coal dust upon a safety lamp should lend to the study of the possible ignition of a mixture of coal dust und air and the possible prciluc* tion of explosion through thisjinediiiin.' The third conclusion, and one which hud been forced home lo the writer's mind more or less during the lust ten years, wus that blasting should he abolished in dry nnd dusiy mines, npurt. altogether from the question of gus. In other Canadian mines the writer hud known coul dust to explode in a workingroom ns a result of a blast. He suggested further consider' alion us to the effects of violent concussions in agitating the particles of coul dust which flouted in thu air nnd produced a decree of heat which rendered the atmosphere highly inflammable and possible to influences which would not be dangerous under other conditions. Tliu writer hud used much of the so'culled' safety explosives nnd hud tested all those upon the permitted list, and whilst he wus, of course, prepared to admit thut a highur percentage of snfety might be attained by some of these than with ordinary powder, he was convinced that none of them were absolutely safe as wa? popularly supposed; und he would go fuilhei* und slate thut none of them were sufficiently *afe to meet the reasonable requirements of modern mining.

Eva Mine Sold. The Eva free milling gold property, situated on Fish River, near the new town of Goldfields, in the Kootenay, has been sold for the sum of 8300,000, according to a statement made to the Province recently by Capt. Robertson, master of the Arrow Lake steamer Rossland, who has just arrived ic the city. In discussing the sale Capt. Robertson stated that the property was developed by the Imperial Development Syndicate, which is composed of Nelson men. It was sold to a company organized by A. F. Rosenberger, of Nelson, and known as the Calumet liniifecir and British Columbia-Mines\" The company is capitalized at $500,000 in 500,000 shares of a par value of $1.00. each. Capt.' 'Robertson stated that stock had not been on the market in Nelson one hour before il was underwritten in the entire amount by Chicago and English capitalists. It is the intention of the new owners to erect a ten-stamp mill on the property without delay. \"The general tone of the mining industry in the Kootenays and in the Slocan has improved wonderfully within'the past-two months,\" said Capt. Robertson this morning \"Conn deuce,\" he continued, \"was restored in the future of the country in large measure hy the 'blowing in of all the smelters upon the cessation of the strike of the coal miners at the Fernie camp of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Co., and by the reopening of thebigshipping mii.es. Since the smelters have hud a full supply of coke upon call they have been operating to full capacity as is indicated by the shipments of the Rossland camp alone which last week totalled\" over 1\"4\".CC0-tons. Business generally in the Interior is picking up and outside capital is flowing in for the development of many small properties which have been idle for the past year nnd a, half. On the whole the outlook in the Knotenavs and Slocan is excellent.\"\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\u00BDVancouver Province. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD= Coal Dust Explosions. Mr. Blackmore, of Montreal, read a paper before the Newcastle (Eng.) Institute of Mining Engineers, on the Fernie explosion which occurred May 22, resulting in the death of 130 men. The writer went on to say that there are some lessons that should he learned from this catastrophe corning us it did upon the heels of others in which the same prominent features werepredom* inant. The writer thought that they might well begin to doubt ths efficacy of \"watering\" as a preventive for conl dust explosions. Nor could it be claimed that the watering adopted at. the Fernie mine wan in any sense thorough or satisfactory, hut because there were considerable areas of the mine where the water was lying or & Souvenir Novelties In large and varied assortment.
