Don't you think ■o." ■ Mrs. Dinkey murmured n weary word tn thc effect thnt much depended on bnvlilg au expert waitress and - jhought tiio matter dropped. But next ' morning sho wns roused by ber bus- band's voice. "I hnvo It nil planned out." ho said. "I'vo been lying nwnke for two hours getting up n code of signals for you to use In calling Nora to servo tho table. I'll write It down for you. This is tbo ftlcn: Onu pressure of yimr foot on tho electric billion In 'the floor will uionn 'clear the tilbfu for next course,' two pressures might call for repassing of the brcttd, three would Indicate that the glasses needed refilling, nnd so ' forth. I think I can mnko it cover tho whole ground." "But, Havlil, It Is Norn's duty to wnteh tlio glasses nnd keep them filled without any telling her at all." a "I know, but does sho do lt? She .-gets busy wlt'yfomethlng clso nnd very Mint ill-ally forgets that. Now, by tills plnn she won't have lo tax her memory nt nil. and you onu remind hor without anybody's knowing you've done n thing." "Hut she'd have lo remember what tho signal stood for." "Leave Hint to me," hi. nttsverod. "I slinll mnko it very plain und easy, nntl I'll take It down to tlio ofllco niul hnve two typewritten copies mndo— ono for you uml one for Norn." "I—hope Norn will like it," ventured Mrs. Ulnkey anxiously. "She's n littlo particular, yon know." "She's sure to liko it! Yoti women never seem to understand whnt n sense of satisfaction it Is to the employee when lie feels a systematic band on the helm. Why, tho people who work for you would rather Imvo tilings run pretty strict Uinu not to foel system In tlio mnnngeiiioiit. They want to know there's n head planning things for them. I'vo found thnt out In business. I toll you, ull that housekeeping needs to mako it run easy Is tbo application of masculine brains and business methods! Norn will like It, all right enough." But Norn dldu't. Loyal Mrs. Blnkoy presented tho plan ns joyfully as If It wore ber own pet project, but ber effort to catch und Impart ber husband's enthusiasm nbout it wns a dend failure. K'ora looked very glum as sbo pinned tho typewritten codo of signals np by tbo kitchen clock, and Mrs. Wakey felt glummer stilt ns sbo fastened her own copy on tbe edge of her mirror nud stood mumbling over Its words. "'Ono long rlug nnd two short— finger bowls,'" she repeated. " 'Ono short nud two loug—rcpnssing nrtlclo last served.' 'Two .long rings-clear tnblo for noxt course.' Threo short rlngs-reilll wator glasses.' Oh, dear!" the broko off suddenly. "I sometimes wish David wouldn't tako so much Interest lu muklug my work easy." But David's Interest kept right up. Ho urged tho uso of tho codo witb untiring zcnl, nud ono day when pretty, black eyed Norn nctually camo und tilled the wnter glnsses In nnswer to "threo short rlngB" ho glowed wllb' uu- epcftkuble pride uud declared thut tlicy must rcnlly give a dinner.

The feast was lo bo rather more pretentious thuu anything Mr. Blakey had heretofore planned, but he bad no tears nbout the service. Ho relied on thc code. Mrs, Blnkoy, on her part, wns determined to please David by appearing quite unconscious whenever sho Migmiled Nora. The consequence was tlmt. hur smiles nud attention to the mnu tm hor left during the soup course half turned his head. "How delightfully clever; do tell mo another!" Mrs. Blnkoy was saying to hlm, brightly, ns her small foot pressed the button ami telegraphed Nora to "clenr table for next course."

She never so much ns glanced nt Mrs. Blnkoy, who In her turn kept her eyes determinedly away from the muid as she chatted on with the mun at. her left.

A brother and sister of Henry aud George Vioth havo both died within tho past fow weeks. Mr. Henry Volth expects to return to Cariboo within u fow weeks and speaks very hopefully of tbo outlook for bis section uoxt season. Hydraulic Minim* and dredgiug will, lie thinks, make rapid strides next season. Tho B. r. EWprosi hi a made another record for itself for fast time. Last week tbe company contracted to do- liver 5,000 lbs fast, freight at Barker vlllo, (280 miles from Asbcroft) in teu days after shipment from Ashoroft, but, in the face of heavy roads, succeeded iu landing the consiutiniont in eight days or two days bettor than contract ilme. This performance isa very creditable ono and is illustrative of tbo resources possessed by the stage company. Among the alhletio events at. the Spokune Industrial Exposition next month will bo a pie eating contest. Tho contest will only be open for email boys aud a tine prize will bo given for the wluuer. Manager Hawley planed tho coutest under tho list of field events because he thought it. took more room than the wrestling and boxing events, as tho movements of hoth are involved In Jotting away with n large pie without lho aid of tho hands. Tho only training needed for a |i|e contest Is tho training of tlm face muscles. A (Mist iron stonnii'i is nlso needed. A blind two-year old bull owned by Jos. m. Burr fell into tho Thompson river one day this week and was sup posed by his owner to boon ibe way to China. To his utter ustotiisiiuiettt when the work train came iu from tho Black Canon the same evening, the blind bull was standi) g calmly ona (lat car enjoying himself, Tho railroad men bud seen lhe poor brute coming down the swift rivor, turning in the swift eddies end cross-currents, at times completely submerged for along time, By sheer luck he was cast ashore on n bar uear tho train, and beiug very docile consented to walk a plank on to a car. ,„' J water tills season the Flynn mines only worked about 21 dnys, D, Wilson, Inspector of School*, returned Tuesday fri m his annual visit of Inspect ion of schools through Cariboo aud Lillooel.'Koii>»r a* far as Bark- prvllle. Mr. Wilson reports schools visited iiy himasgonerally iu good condition and advancing the causo of education as rapidly as could bo expected uuder the circumstances. The Coblediok dredge at Lytton is reported ns a complete success. No results nf operations are made public, rumor only, says that already a shipment ot 810,000 was made. This rumor going the rounds is not tmthenti cal in any way aud in no way reliable. The results of tbe small amount of work doue so far ure. however, belier ed most satisfactory. A dredge of a similar pal I em will bo placed on thc North Thompson river, work begiutnj oh the sumo yet Ihls seasou, From the Cariboo mine nothing fur ther regarding the washup has been heard except a confirmation of pre vious roports, viz., that tho amount to be sent down soon will be large. Uu der the present conditions we do not understand why Cariboo stock should sell as quoted, $1.05 bid, fl.ii,. asked. It Bhould be $2,50 hid at least, with the preseut outlook. \V, W, llrowu, wife and child, accompanied hy Messrs, F..Hcssor and VV. 13, Waste, left Ashcroft for Lillooet by 11, C. X. special yestorduy morning. They aro Newark, N..I. people and tbe two latter accompany Mr, Brown to tho Bridge river country to look over properties in whiob tbey, through Air. Brown's reports have become interested. They wilt lind Bridge river a good miuing country Thc proposed amendments to the Placer Minin: Act, which appear in part In this issuo will be completed uext week. Copies in bill forui will be struok olf aud sent uut lo miuing men, particularly to those Interested in deep placer mines. The Journal will very willingly publish letters giving mining men's views of (his proposed change in lbo Act. All interested iu Cariboo, Omenica aud Atliu should understand that good laws are imperative so tbat oapital may be enlisted, A plaoer ndu'is Act soould be passed so that it will endure fortho next 50 years without radical changes. Now that a Commission has beeu appointed to recommend a revision, the miuiug meu should set forth theii views. Messrs. Tytler and A. W. Robinson on behalf oftho Liverpool men who have purchased tho .lumieson oreek dredging leases, arrived in Kamloops ou Monday night. M.VVdV.V IHMTtltf'T, Tho Glen Iron mine at Cherry Creek la iu full blast, shipping oro to Ihe anielter at N< laou where it is used an a flux. The Hopper Crook Consolidated Mining Co. hns just completed its assessment work on tho claims held by them, resulting In the exposure of some good ore. This property con- taius the Tenderfoot vein for about 500 feet and almost completely surrounds that properly. The Tenderfoot, mine Is at present running two shafts and adding ore to the dump steadily, The foremau, Mr. Jackson, Is a rustler nnd is making good headway, From ull appearances thc property will mako a miuo which will bo hoard uf. The Cinnabar Miuiug Company's representative, Mr. C. K. Low, while superintending the assessmeut work has uncovered a valuable deposit of' high grade cinnabar. About three tons of high grade ore which I would estimate should average 'Ji) to :i0 per cent ■re on the dump and a flue showing In sight. Tbis ore uau he furnaoed at a good profit by retorting.

For some uuex- plainable reason the large droves of Crrlbuu known to Inhabit that section have this season disappeared. Whcr thoy have gono is uot known. It is a habit, Mr. Minis states, that is not explained by naturalists that Caribou will suddenly migrate from a section, perhaps to return in groat numbers, the next seasou and sometimes not to return for year*, Mr Minis says that as a camping trip ho has enjoyed the outing. Ho contemplates a trip uext season from tbe Clearwater aoross to Tote Jaime Cache and tho Yellowhead pass.

Thompson, of Barkerville, came down on Thursday's stage uud will loavo soon for lOngland. Mr, Thompson states that work on hawhao creok lias beon pushed lhis season aud the showing and output aro satisfactory. At I ho Cariboo Oold Fields a track has been put in and a car service to raise the gravel beeu installed. In this way the gravel has beeu raised from tho old timbers in tbo pit. He says splendid work lu timbering was done by early timers, timbers 20 inches square and 10 foot long, still perfectly sound were found, He thinks ar raugemeuts will be made for working the Gold Fields ou a different plan and the output will then bo very large. At Slough oreek the shaft 5x13 is down uow over .'100 feet. At IIU0 feet drifting out will begin. Tbo drift will be over 000 feet but can bo pushed aloug muoh faster thau can sinking. At Willow Rivera general fixing up aud cementing of tho air chamber, under Ihe direction of P. T. Hamshaw, Is takiug place. From a late employe of Mr. Laird's, now in Asboroft, wa learn that the men reoeutly brought from Chicago, who are all experienced in workiug lu compressed air, believe it practicable to complete the drive and Mr. Laird is makiug everything seouro as possible to avert danger. It Ibod- ly believed to be about leu feet until riub graved Vill be found. Witb the atr chamber made safe it will be ouly a matter ot a few days uutil gravel reached. Mr. Laird bas worked long and faithfully in opening up this old channel of Willow Kiver uud certainly deserves success. Ou Cornish Creek Harry Laird is taking out gold. The amount takou out Is uot reported but is said to be consid erable wilh better grouud reported as tbo drift is driven ahead. Messrs. Laird, Fry and Seely are, we believe, the principal owners iu tbis promising property. At the Wing Dam, on Lightning Crook, Uarry Joues was in ubout 112 feet iu lbo drift aud was ouuouuterlug more water aud softer rock, indicating tbat he was Hearing the chauuel. Miu lug meu are watching tbis work with great interest. Good, sensible man ngemeut is makiug this enterprise oue of the most promising properties in Cariboo. If as good gravel is struok as is looked for in the old chauuel aud lho water can bo handled, as apparent ly It can be, thero will bo a great miuo opened up soonuu Lightning Creek FUEIUIIT Mil I'M liNTS.
