THE BOER WAR HAS BEEN DECLARED OFF A most oujoyable "At Home" was hold on Thursday evening under the nusplcos of tbe ladles'auxiliary to the hospital committee The number of persons present was just right for the accommodation afforded. The first part of tho evening's entertainment consisted of a rendering of the following short but well selected programme: Instrumental Miss Edwards Song Mr. Ryan Reading Mr. Shannon Song Mrs. Foran Song Mrs. Shannon Song Mr. Ryan At this stago Mr- Shannon vacated the chair and the responsibility of the concluding part of the entertainment was entrusted to Mr. J. Smith, who cleared a sufficient space and dancing was commenced at 10. p.m., continuing till 1:30. By no means the least pleasing featuro of the evening was tho excellent hot coffee and sandwiches al tho table presided over by Mrs. Knowlton and Mrs. Ford. Ice cream was served in anothor corner by Miss Hanson aud Miss Hlmsley, lemonado was served by Mrs. Edson and Miss McCallum was Gypsy Queennnd told fortunes while Miss Batho presided at tho bouquet tabic. Altogether a most enjoyable timo was spent and the ladies aro to bo congratulated on tho success of their social evening. It is hoped that they will see thoir way clear to give anothor ontertalnment of a like nature at no very distant date. London June 2.���Peaoo has been declared after nearly two years and eight months oi a war that has tried tho British nation to its uttermost, and whieh wiped out tho Bosrs from the list of nations. The war has como to an end with Lord Kitchener's announcement from Pretoria that Lord Mllnor and tho Boer delegates had signed terms of surrender. This announcement has been anticipated for somo days and it was definitely forecasted in the despatch, but Its receipt Sunday afternoon took tho nation by surprise, as everyone had confidently believed that tho house of commons would hear the first news today. The edges of the anticipation with which Great Britain awaited the prom* ised statement, in the house of com* mons from Mr. Balfour, the govern* ment leader, was still further dulled by the following message from King Edward to bis people, wblch was issued utter midnight: "The king has received the welcome news of the cessation of hostilities In South Africa with Infinite satisfaction, and his majesty trusts that peace may speedily be followed by the restoration Of prosperity In his new domains, and that tho feelings necessarily engendered in war will give place to earnest co-operation on the part of his majesty's South African subjects in promoting the welfare of their common country-" How greatly King Edward's insistence that peace in South Africa be secured prior to the coronation, influenced the present agreement, will probably never be known until bis private memoirs of the present regime are given to the public. According to a dispatch to tho Daily Express from Utrecht, Holland, Mr Kruger was informed that peace had been declared shortly after II o'clock last ni8ht. Mr. Kruger had boen asleep. "My God," be said, "It is impossible." Mr, Krugor and his eutourage, the dispatch stated, hope to be permitted to return to the Transvaal. This, how- over, Is quite unlikely, The Newa In Londou, London, Juue 1.*���An official cablegram from Lord Kitchener dated Pretoria, Saturday, May 31, at 11:15 p.m., says: "A document containing terms of surrender was signed here this ovoning at 10:30 o'clock by all the Boer representatives, us well as by Lord Milner, the British high commissioner in South Africa, and myself." The news of peace in South Africa contained In tho foregoing dispatch from Lord Kitchener was not expected In London today. Soon aftor the receipt of tho news however it was spread to tbe clubs and hotels and was received with much enthusiasm. The church bells were rung to acclaim the good news. A crowd gathered at the Mansion House, and the lord mayor of London, Sir Joseph C. Dimsdale, announced from a balcony that terms of surrender had been signed in South Africa. Lord Kitchener's definite announcement of peace was received at the war office at 1 o'clock this afternoon, and was communicated to King Edward and all tho members of tho cabinet bofore it was given ont to tho public. Tonight the Sunday evening calm was broken by enthusiastic singing, shouting and horn blowing. Tho hotels, clubs, public houses and Btreuts were not the only places where tho people were actively demonstrating thoir joy. Tho pence news was announced in tbo churches today and by some congregations it was received with applause. In all the churches of London prayers of thanksgiving were offered and special hymns were sung. Minto Ucta Word.

MINES RESUME FULL WORK The Artificial Nature of thn Market Recently is Clearly Seen. Work sturtcil on Triune. Tbo management of the Triune have bad men at work for some days putting tho trail to the mine in condition to enable a pack train to get through with supplies and they v.-ere also putting tho cabins in repair to accommodate the men to be employed at the mine. Tho trail was found pretty clear of snow but considerable work had to bo performed iu cutting out fallen trees. Pack animals cau now be taken through to the cabins and on Thursday Mr. S. Danoy's pack train made a trip with the first lot of sup. plies. On the same day (Thursday) a forco of 14 men left town to begin operations at tho mino. It iu tho purpose of tho management to prosocuto work most vigorously and all the men will be put to ivork that tho available room will accommodate. Contract on Coraatock. Tho Comstock Co., of Clovoland, O., has Instructed ��� its local manager, S. Shannon, to proceed at onco with development work on tho Comstock group just abovo Circlo City. A contract will bo let to continue the present tunnel another 00 feot, at which point tl.o ledge will be crosscut from wall to wall. |It is the Intention of this company to thoroughly prove their property this season. REPORT OF FERNIE MINE DISASTER The rescue party at the Fernie mine under the direction of Mr. James R. Wilson, formor underground superintendent, are making good headway and from last accounts had succeeded in recovering 110 bodies, many of which it was found impossible to identify. A request for aid for the stricken families was sent all over Canada with a result that peoplo from the Atlantic to tho Pacific are subscribing freely and ovor $20,000 havo been received to date. There is a divergence of opinion as to the cause of tlie explosion and not until a thorough investigation is held will it be deflnitoly known. In his report to the minister of mines, Hon. E. G, Prior, the provincial mineralogist, W. F. Robertson says the mino is dusty but there Is no sign of coked dust to indicate a dust explosion. Ho has been with tho relief party through every section and found nothing to which he could attribute the catas- trope. Wo givo below nn extract from Inspector Dick's report of his inspection of tho mino on April 23rd: "No. 2 mine is worked on tho separate split system, viz., high level, east and west districts. I wont into tho high levol district, and examined all tho working places, and much of tho old works. I saw that all the men hero had safety lamps, yet I could not find a trace of gas. All the places wore well timbered. Ventilation was good; only Mr. Forbes and Mr. Atwood who aro making a thorough oxaminatlou of the Nettie L. mine, had some oro assayed from the Nottie L, this week which went silver 3000 oz., Qold 950 and copper ,11 por cent, a short distance from tho face I found that there was 16,800 cubic foet of air passed per minute, with tbe brattice as close to the face as it was convenient to bave it, "On April 25th I again went to No. 2 tunnel, but this timo to tbe west district. I was in all tho working places, which 1 saw wero in good order and well timbered, although tho roof in somo places is very bad and full of slips. I put in much of my timo in the old workings to see if thero was any standing or accumulation of gas. 1 am pleased to say that in neither the old workings or tho working places was there a trace of gas to be Been, but I saw that all the men worked by light from safety lamps. Thoro wero 35 men working. Ventilation was good here. I saw that there was 20,000 cubic feet of air passing per minute with the brattice up near the face. "I then went into what is known as the east district. I first went into tho old workings here, and saw that they were clear of gas, aftor which I saw that they were In good order and well timbered, with tbo brattice closo up, in many cases, under the circumstances, too closo to bo convenient. In this district I saw that there were 31 raon at work, all of whom had safety lamps, 1 failed to find any gas in No. 2 mine, in whioh nt ono time it would show in the lamp at nearly evory placo you could go. Ventilation is good near tho face. I Baw that there wero 1200 cubic feet of air passing per minttle, while in the main intake there was 80,800 cubic foet of air por minute, thus leaving 31,400 to be accounted for, all of whicli escapes into the old works, where it is much required to carry off gas, which iB given off there, as by leaving tbe old workings clear thero is not so great a danger of an accident with tho workmen using safety lamps. At No. 3 mine 1 saw that all tho men wero working with light on tho heads. I examined all this mine. There was but few places in tho old workings I was not in, as woll as being in all the working places. I saw that all the working places were in good order, brattice close up and well tlmbored. I did not see any sign of gas in the mino. "I saw that thero woro 31,800 cubic feet of air passing por rainuto and conducted well into the face by brat* tice and otherwise. Hero there were 55 mon employed. This mine is very wet. "I may say that No. 2 and No. 3 mines are ono and the samo by connections bolow ground, and aro connected in many places, and are well ventilated by tho same fan, but are entered by two tunnels from the outsido. The motive power for the ventilation of theso two mines passes 112,- 200cubio feet of air per minute, and bas yot 80 revolutions of tho fan in reserve, boforo it gets up to Its highest working speed. (Signed) "Arch Dick, ���'Inspector." For tho first timo this yoar���iu April���copper production as reported by Mr. John Stanton for tho companion shows an increase over the corresponding liuiitii last year. Tlie gain is it considorablo one, amounting to 2,7sti tons for the reporting mines and 40" from outsido sources. Tho total of 24,624 tons is greater by 5S!) tons than than tho quantity reported in March and by 3,186 tons than for April of last year. This considorablo gain has reduced the falling off for the four months ending April ,'iO to 650 tons, as compared with tho corresponding period in 1901, It is of special Importance as showing there is no longer any considerable restriction in the output and that most of the mines aro running at about their normal capacity. The numbor of now minos which arc shipping- copper this yoar is not largo and thoir total production is not ot great importance. Tho resumption of full work at most of thc mines indicates that the quantity of copper turned out i s going to be, for somo timo to come, fully up to thc standard of last yoar and possibly a little ahead of it. The United States exports for April were less than tho vory large figures for March by 3,673 tons, but still readied the largo quantity of Hi, 124 tons. This makes a total for tho four months of 67,050 tons of copper sent abroad from tliis country, which is nearly two and one-half times tho quantity reported for the samo period last yeur. It may he safily said that tho falling off in April exports was largely duo to the elimination of speculative shipments, and tbat thc total represents a legitimate business done in response to tho increased buying of copper abroad. Tho artificial nature of tho market recently is shown by the fact that in tho face of tho increased production thero has been .. gain in price both in New York and London with a presont prospect tha*. the advance will continue���Engineering and Mining Journal. OUTLOOK KOB I.KAI1. The Trnat Will Again Enter llrltlah Columbia Market. Those Interested in lead properties in British Columbia will be glad to learn tbat tho load trust will soon reenter the markets of Canada. The Sandon Paystreak says there is a feeling among mine owners, backed by what is purported to bo reliable Information, that the American Smelting and Refining Co. is going to re-enter the British Columbia market In the Dear future- It Is pointed out by tbote who claim to be in a position to know that tho trust is sponding a large amount of monoy on tho East Helena smelter and that the Great Falls plant Is being overhauled. Also the Groat Northern Is standardising the Great Falls pur prede. The closest election contest for the Ontario legislature in 20 years, with exception of 1893, was fought out on the 29th, tilt, giving a majority to the Liberals ot about four. In a number of the consti tuencies the majority is small being less than ten, and as there will likely be a number of recounts and protests the government majority may be augmented dr diminished, and it is possible that the Conservatives may yet have wpn. However Mr. Whitney has reason to feel proud of the noble fight put up by he and his followers and if they continue to cut the Liberal majority down as they have in the last two contests, next election will put the Conservatives on top. As it is honors are about evenly divided. One thing is certain the government will not dare introduce any drastic measures into parliament for with so narrow a mag-in their life will virtually hang by a thread. Therefore the people ot Ontario may hope for wise legislation. on the afth uit.' The Veteran diplomat had reached the ripe old age of 74 years, but continued to do excellent work for the empire to the last. He was held in very high esteem both in Europe and America and his death was deeply regretted in both countries. While he was a keen and successful diplomatist he was very popular in Washington. Great Britain's ambassador to the United States, the Hon. Lord Paunce- fote, G. C. B., died at Washington The Ophir-Lade syndicate have succeeded in closing a deal for three of the best groups of claims in the Fish.creek district, namely: The Oyster, Rossland and the Imperial It had been whispered about town for several days that a deal was in process of negotiation, but not un* til Mr. Pool came in Thursday was anything definite known in the'matter. Messrs. Pool, Lade Bros., R. Gunn and J. J. Young inspected the property Tuesday and brought samples to Ferguson to be assayed. The tests were highly satisfactory, some going enormously high. An Eagle representative saw Mr. Pool for a moment just as he was starting back to Fish creek to meet Mr. Young and pay over the money for the three groups. We believe it is the intention of the purchasers to begin development work on a large scale at once, in fact Mr. Pool stated that a stamp mill would be installed very shortly. Next week we will give full particulars of the sale and what the new owners propose to do in the way of development. >(tr4.J-VJ*.J4.*4.*4.-**^t^*-J*-**J*> *( perguson Motel )*, McDONELL & EDSON.

Juno G A. It. HOLDICH, Secretary. Tlie Itilfflec 'irons,!. Mr, Andy Ward has sold his interest, being an undivided one quarter in the Ruffled Grouse mineral claim, to Mr. Frank Traynor of Ferguson, ior one thousand dollars cash. We congratulate Mr. Tray* nor on his good fortune in securing this interest, for it is conceded by men who should know, that the Ruffled Grouse is one of the most likely prospects in the camp. Mr, Traynor may also congratulate himself on having bought into a property where he has for partners such men as Messrs. Jim Livingstone and Ole Peterson. It is certainly a mat ler of very great importance, in purchasing an interest in a mineral claim, to take note of what kind of partners one will be associated with, tor a delinquent or dilatory co-owner very often retards development and sometimes blocks a sale. There is, however, a remedy, but in applying it one is often put to serious inconvenience and loss of time und money, We believe the former owners always worked together most amicably and that the property bears evidence of this. Mr. Ward assures us that he has an abiding faith in the property and his reason for sell* ing was solely from the fact that he has large interests in other claims that give promise of proving equ< ally valuable, and by making this deal he would be better equipped to prosecute development on his other properties, Messrs, Livingstone and Peterson are doing assessment work on the claim. They have sunk a shaft 20 feet and are now drifting on the lead.
