At present thore is quite a lively move in the building of dredgos uud scows for tho purposo of mining. Thoro sooms to bo a healthful movement to- wards n successful operation this season. Tho several companies oporating from this point are busy preparing the means to develop tho treasuro which lies iu tho gravol of the rivor beds as well as under the surfaco of tho hills. Mr. MoCnskill has laid the foundation of a scow whioh will be roiiuired for tho improved system of dredging iu oomioction with Pioneer No. 1 dredgo. Mr, Burr aud Mr, Cousin of tho Smoky Rivor Company have commenced to lay the foundation of the houso necessary to rosido in during (lie building of this scows which thoy intend taking up to thut region. They ure building U short distance above tlio Quosnelle bridge. This means the requirement of a good quantity of lumber und so the sawmill will bo kept busy for a few weoks. The development of the mines moans the employment of meu iu ovory kind of labor aud any restriction put on this goes to retard the progress of tlio country and tho development of Its grout mineral wealth. The most discouraging drawback particularly is (lie enormous expeuse of freight, and capitalists from nbroad meet ut tho very door with a barrier ttiat naturally disheartens them iu these enterprises. If this interior were more accessible in that means of locomotion tho Kootenay country would, with all its prospects, take a second place as a gold producing region. Messrs. Burr aud Cousins havo decided to build two scows instead of one. On these tho machinery required for pumping is put aud taken as freight to the point of operation. By this means the scow will bo lighter and will bo hauled by Indians in tho same manner that the Hudson's Bay Company takes up freight to Fort George. There will be many rapids to pass but what has been done once may bo done again. The distance is about 180 miles from tbis point. It is the plan of these gentlemen when thoy arrive at the ground on Smoky river to unite both scows side by side, This will probably be in October next, Such pluck and euterpriso deserves every encouragement and success and from all accounts tho ground is rich beyond any doubt. The most trustworthy men havo examined tho place and pronounced it exceedingly rich. The plan adopted is tho pump system which has been made to work successfully by these gentlemen in other parts of the world. Mr. Sawyer, of the M, & M. has put his claim in operation aud the outlook is very good. Mr. Seymour Baker, C. E., aud Mr. Campbell, C. E.t will bo ablo to make a good start shortly. This is a heavy undertaking us Baker Creek is to be tapped and water brought in through a tunnel to tho ground whieh ft is intended to work. Mr. G. L. Bctts, C. E.. has been in and ho reports that the long tunnel is nearly completed. Tlie sound of the sledge is heard on opposite sides aud tho passage through, over sixteen hundred foot, will be accomplished in a fow days. Thero have boen groat engineering difficulties iu the way but Mr. Belts is u gentleman who is evidently capable of overcoming them. Mr. Baker is not now in charge of this claim, tho Cottonwood Alluvial Gold Mining claim, Mr. Botts having been in full charge since Mr. Baker left for England last fall. Tho steamer Charlotte went up to the Canon, 19 miles, with a load of freight and a number of passengers, She returnod the sumo day, making a very quiok passage. The Charlotte brings up the mail from Soda Creek now twice a weok. Mr. McNab of the Hudson Bay Company's store wont up on a business trip to Fort George and will bo absent a fow weeks. Kov. Mr. Campbell left by the Charlotte to take a trip to tho Forks und Horsetiy. He will bo absent one Sunday, Interest today has beeu changed "from earth to heaven." This time it was not the balloon we oxpect oue of thoso days but flock after flock of cranes oxteudiug the wholo length of the sky from horizon to horizon uorth and south. A friend attempted to count them. Ho may bo at it yot. It would bo unwise to guess the number us one inclines to exaggeration before vast numbers, A few bullets from Winchesters disconcerted tbe wonderful order in which thoy moved but no stray stiot touched one of them, Thoso migrating birds uro us unerring about the season as they are in their movement in tho sky, Thero hus been a splendid fall ot rain tho last threo days, This wiil bring grass on finely aud will help to give a plentiful crop for hurvost. More rain fell the last three duys than all last summer. The weather has beeu glorious for the past week- On three duys thc thor- momoter registered 80 degrees in the shade but tho nights are still occasionally frosty. Johnson uud Fry are working witli a party uf eight men ou the C. K. M. & D, Company's claim. Thoy expect to turn on .tho full head of water on Monday next. ' Coustuble Anderson dug up u box tho bunk of the Fraser river in town today. Tho box contained two human skeletons supposed to bo either Indian or Chinese remains. It is proposod to celebrate tho Queen's Diamond Jubilee iu royal style on tho 22nd. A meeting has been cou vened for Monday night to consider plans for the occasion. We or Quesnello fool thut wo should bo falling in our duty as subjects of a sovereign bo- loved by all did wo not express in some form the toolings of loyalty, veneration and lovo which all must boar to a Queen whoso study has been the welfare of hor people; whose work, the at- tuinmout of a just und moral code of laws; whose life has boen un example of wifely virtue, of motherly lovo and of loving sympathy to tiie people who ure under her aud to all the nations ot the earth. We hope that tlio patriot- ism of our neighbors to the south and oust will urge ihem to join us in milking our festivities worthy this occasion. Mr. Stevenson,S. M.oumo down from Barkerville this evening. Tho Ven. Archdeacon Small arrived on Thursday, having ridden from Lytton. He will preach tomorrow morning and then ride ou to Cottonwood House for evening service. Mons. E. P. Endors engineer of the French Company's mine at Bnrkerville leaves on tomorrow's steamer for Ashcroft nud the oust. W. H.Boyd nnd Willie Bowruu leave town on Thursday next for tho coast, whero they will speud some time. HARKERVILLE.. Qucsnelle Forks. Jas. Buin uud partner ure ut work on the Roso Gulch clnim. aud uro said to bo doing well. The property is a val- vable oue. Parties have beeu here within tlie past week looking over tho property of the Victoria Consolidated company, and it is expected that work will be pushed on this property this season. It is reported that J. M, Buxton aud party will be up shortly, and it is supposed to bo in reference to the Maud and other valuable claims in this section. Thero are many valuable properties hero lying idle, as yet, thut u fair amount of money rightly expended would cause to bo largo dividend payers. The time will come when Quesnelle Forks will bo n place of note and so mndc because of the surrounding mines. At tho Golden River Quosnelle works quite n number of meu nre still at work, but the most of the men imve been lot out owing to high wnter. Tlie closing of the pondrous gates, weighing ench 9,000 pounds, when the dam is built will be watched with absorbing interest by the people of this section. Tho work hns boeu of greut benefit to the residents of this section, aud to laboring, men of tho latter tho maun ger has beon most considerate. Even whou it wus not desirable to increase the force, it is said uo mun that tramped his way up in search of work wus turned nway without at least u few days work. As to tho final outcome of this mammoth proposition lew uro iu a position to express nu opinion That thore is lots of money in tho old south Fork, no ono doubts ; but how tho ground will be worked to advantage wheu the dam is successfully in place, aud the wnter held bank for u time, no one seems to have learned. Iu nny case, tho people of this section will hope for good returns to tho plucky investors. At fcllP Cariboo mine 2,000 inches of water is being sfondilj* thrown with tremendous force against tho heavy bunks of gravel, und forcing it down through tho flumes. The sluices, when tho water is turned off, shows largo quantities of amalgum in piece, und tho ground showing for tlio mino is flrst class, as is often suid of this magnificent property, when the time comes tho dividends will bo astonishing, for uo good mino ever opened not burring tho famous Bloomfleld, with its record of 8115,000 in a single washup is the equal of this property, and the work is dono iu such a manner thut permanence and durability is the result. No small share of the successful fitting up of this property, especially iu its splendid system of ditching is due to Mr. Hobsou's able assistuut, Mr, Warner, who is nothing, if not exact, us uu engineer, tho steady How of water lu tho euormous ditches gives proof of this. Tho mine will make a good output tliis season, but will uot reach high water murk in production yet for several yours, Wait until the bottom gravel is brought up, and you will get a report thnt will cause the Bloomfleld to look small. At leust, so think we, who havo loug viewed tho situation, and know tho Cnriboo couutry. A 810,000 verdict wns given lu tho flrst ense tried, it boiug a tost wise for damages for the loss of lite in tho Point Elico bridge disaster in Victorin. The British Columbia Review pub llshed ut London, Bug., Is to huud. It is neatly gotten up aud is devoted to tho interests of British Columbia iu a mining way. Its editor Mr, Lefoy was formerly a tutor iu the family of tho Hon, C. F. Cornwall of Ashcroft. . It fluds n welcome place among our exchanges. The Cariboo Gold Fields Coinputiy ure uot at work on their drainage tunnel for the past few weeks on account; of water, expecting the old workings to drain oft' uud leave less water to encounter in the breast of tbe tunnol. A payment of 85,000 wns made the first part of the month on tlio proper ties being prospected by the French lapilalists at this place. Some of tbe quartz lodges on which work has been done havo not proved their value to be ifficiout to justify further work, but ou the B, O. Ledge crossing Lowlioo gulch the workings have revealed satisfactory grado and body -d Mr. F. Endors has gone on to Prance lo make a personal report, of tbe condition of affairs there. The father of Mr, hinders is said to bo tho largest, stuglo investor in tlie exploration company. The various placer claims in Ibis vicinity arc nearly nil at work. Last sensou was u more favorable one thnn before for many years. New claims wore opened up ami much work undertaken. It now looks liko a vigorous revival of plucer and drift mining, and look forward with confidence to tho bright future for this section. Tho course being pursued by a largo com- pauyat this placo is not satisfactorj to the community. Tho plain statement, that all work that enn be done by them will be given Chinamen is not, ono to endear tho managers iu tlio minds of tho old or now timers. Tlio reports from Willow river are most encouraging, and whilo it, is not known to the public what the value of the gravel iu the old channel it is believed to bo all tlmt could be expected. Mr. Laird is personally superintending the work, and thero is no wnter to give trouble, it is expected, other opera- tious of tbis class will bo undertaken. Mr. Thompson is to ho here in a fow days aud work will no doubt commence on bis drift claims near tlie month of Slough creok. The political pot is not yet, boiling, but tho Are is being made up and there ss enough in sight to justify the usscr- siou that u number of aspirants will shy their castors into the ring, uud make the fight for glory und political fame. For fuiiK* in tlie eyes of seine, yon sec, Is in following tit. mime witli M.P.P, Bnrkerville, May 15. watched with much interest by thc people of this section. Tlie Agnes Hydraulic company are at work with a new nnd well put up hydraulic plant. Tlio ground lias beeu a favorite rocking place for Chinese, mid of about one aud n-hulf acres of surface work two Chinese have rocked for twenty years at the vory conservative amount of 8500 per year for both. It would mean that they linve taken out 810,000, and tliis only from tho top pay streak. On tbo Agnes clnim tliero is a bnuk 75 or more feet ubove tho rfver, and buck a short distance, ttio gravel, whoro exposed, looks good, and the mine should be a success. Captain Gurluud hns doue n creditable piece of work in fitting up the mine. At tlie Ottawa company's grouud work is being pushed rapidly ahead. No washup has yet boon made, but tho results of lust season's work ami tho showing so far this your indicates plainly that thc company havo a highly valuable proporty. A wushup will be made nbout the first of Juno. dipt. Jamieson of Ottawa is superintendent, aud Mr. Wadleigh, foreman. Tbe flume carrying water from 1-Mile croek built last your by an incompetent engineer, lias caused groat trouble, and must, bc regraded und partly rebuilt before it will lie in proper condition. Vale. Snowsltoe Creek, Mr. McRoynolds of Seattle came down on Tuesday from Snowshoo creek and whilo in town we learned thn following of the sectiou known ns Snow- shoe creok. Tho compnny represented by Mr. McRoynolds, which liy tbe way is a close corporation and has no stock for sale, have un 80 ucre tract of luud along tho Suowshoe, 2,000 inches of water recorded uud a 10 years lease. Tho results of this work so far iu prospecting have shown astonishingly rich gravol. about 8200 in quite coarse gold has beeu taken out and the ground prospected has yielded about 81.50 por yard, aud the enthusiastic miner insists that hotter results will bo obtained us they get iu toward and on bedrock. They have u large bauk of gravel aud other ground can bo opened at a reasonable expense. The district, has been known for the past thirty years to be rich and there Is no question but that large deposits of rich gravel aro to bo found along the Snow- shoe aud other streams heading in the Cariboo range. Mr. McRoynolds aud J. H. Tucker aro tbe principal owners, A now hydraulic plant will bo seut up from tho const ut once uud it is hoped that a successful! mining enterprise will bo under wny beforo many weeks. North Hunt], Our genial follow townsman Ed. Chontc is uow the happy father of u fourth boy, lately, arrived. Nortli Bond wants a new school houso, and tho patriotic people will not cull on the honorable minister of education to furnish the children, just tho house. Aud ut this man's town whist is reduced to a science, play a sneak aud out you go of tho nearest door or window. All wrong! No man cuu play un absolutely good game of whist until! ho cun lead a sneak and uot look guilty. Doc. Holluwuy is making a good showing ou Yankee Flat, und hns a fail supply of wnter. A partial cleanup of ono of the boxes, a few dnys ago, gave 21. ounces of gold, which, considering tbat Doc. does not look for anything much until lio gets back, is a good indication. He is using canvas bose. If the ground is shown to bo as anticipated, a plant will be put in soon. Mr. Sib-iris of tho Beattlo dredger lias the dredger at u safe anchorage, aud does not expect to begin work of hoisting gravel until about August lst( wlien the water will have subsided sufficiently. The cost of this dredger is about (B.0,000, und it seems to havo been carefully planned aud built. It is in a rich sectiou of the Fraser where many thousands aud even millions huvo been taken out of the grouud along the river benches* If u dipper dredge can succeed It seems us though tliis one would. Its work will be Lust week we had the pleasure of entertaining a party of mining exports aud magnates from Vancouver. Among the number wns Ben. Douglas, pros! dent of Queen Gold __ Silver mining Co., Messrs. T. H. Fruser and Wm. Burns (mining engineers), and Messrs, G, H. Carroll und F, R. Foster, representing oustern capital. These gentlemen were ably conducted over tbe promising properties in tlie neighborhood by our.geuiiil townsman Ed. Stout, of whioh, particularly Hill's Bur, they wero highly pleusod. We arc given to understand several xtensious havo boon staked aud recorded on the Muckay-Murphy claim, situated about oue mile east of Hope, We have seen samples of the rock which should iu our estimation pay well. The Murphy-Maokay claim 1ms not been worked for several years nnd is only a fractional claim. The late Mr. Murphy devoted several years of Ids life to work on this claim. He sunk a shaft nbout thirty foot deep uud started a tunnel frum the railway track to cross-cut the ledge. After going in fpr 000 foot on this tunnel, at a cost of 83.00 a foot, work was suspended owing to bis demise. About $110,000 has been spent ou this property. Mr. Hart of Victoria lias u bund on tlie clnim nt prosent, und should it lapse, others nro eagerly waiting to map this valuable property up. Martin Cnstlo aud Morton Revesbeck slipped out of town at dead of night for places unknown uud returnod on No. 2, Monday, with samples of Iron oupping which they claim resembles that of Rossland. They say thoy havo mountain of it, and if the assays come up to expectations, they iutond putting immediate work on it.

Several tenders hud beon rccoived. but tho lowest was considered to bo excessive. Mr. Mullock suid ho had failed to got a reasonable tender, but ho was endeavoring to do so from reliable parties so that the service might bo maintained iu a state of efficiency. If he succeeded there would bo a substantial saving to (he country. Horsefly. Tom Crawley, P. 11. Golden und others huvo sunk u shaft buck of Thompson's ground on the bill to u depth of 00 feet nnd nre reported to huvo struck good pay. At the Horsefly gold mine considerable ground lias been washed und work is being pushed along. There hus beeu no wash-up as yet but the gravel put through is known to be good und good returns are looked for during the sou- son. At the Cariboo Hydraulic Company's ground work ou tho mill is progressing well and it is expected it will be started not later than July 1st. Work of drifting is continuous and tbo cemented gravel shows gold freely. At Campbell's claims (the Miocene Company) tho shaft is down 1-18 feet uud gold Is beiug taken out. The character of the wash is such us to lead Mr. Campbell to believe that lie will soon strike bedrock and has good hopes of striking rich gravel. The gold so far taken out is quite coarse and getting heavier with depth. It is expected work will begin soon on the Campbell uud Lcusk ground nndJMr. Leask is expected in soon with machinery for sinking. Several Other propositions are on fool, In thii oumpandthe present outlook Is must fuvorublo for Horsefly to give a good account of itself before the season is over. I-armors iu this seotiou are through seeding and owing to tho lovely spring weather and the lute rains crops nro showing up flue. The loss of oattlo iu this vuliey during tho past winter is estimated at ubout ten per cent. Considering the extraordinary length of the winter and the extreme cold in tho months of November and March, this loss is considered small.

The pust week has been one of great activity in ull lines, both mining and building. A large amount of capital is being spoilt iu opening out different properties around the Golden Eagle and further up the creek. Work is being done on tho Aniens White Elephant, Gott and other groups about five miles above th Golden Ea- glo mines. Mr. Woods runs a daily ex press up to the end of tht. road, thus affording ready means of taking up mining supplies. The two saw mills are rushed co supply tho demand for lumber, and houses nrogoing up on all sides. A good deal of prospecting ts being done on Lakes uud on McGillvary creek.

In the prospectus issued by the by the Bridge River ami Llllooet Gold Mining company, uf this city, it whs shown that, according to the test then made, gold to the amount of from lit) to 815 per cubic yard was.obtainable, Later developments showed that thin estimate was too low, A couple of months ngo au engineering stuff, specially recommended by Hamilton Mer- rlt, C.E., wns sent out to the mine to ascertain as nearly as possible the exact deposits. Mr. Stout, the engineer who has chargo of the work, has sent several reports, and in every instance the actual gold taken from tho river beds hus accompanied thoso reports. Tho first of these showed that upwards of 821 per cubic yard was obtainable, Tlio Bridge River compnny is composed of a number of prominent bust-. ness mon of very high character, and they fully realize the responsibility that rests upon them Individually in tliis mutter. They, therefore, decided to send John H. Laud out to the com- pnuy's .'property, aud requested that the most accurate aud careful tests should bo made uuder his supervision, His reports show that by careful washing of the sand 8,10 has been taken from one cubic yard of gravel. Mr. Tyrol], C.E.. who hits surveyed this property, estimates thut thero are over -1,000,000 cubic yards of earth on the claim.

World, Surplus P-.r-il_.lli.ti In ninlnK Cam-m. In nearly every new mining district of the west, says t he Mining uud Scion t ilie Press, thoro is ll greuter surplus of unemployed men than in the older camps, As a general rule, there is less demand for labor in these new districts for some tlmo utter thoir discovery, und until capital comes in in sufficient tpiuntity to develop them. A skilled prospector needs little advice as to whero'he should go; he has menus of finding out und knows well bow to take care of himself under tho most adverse circuinstunces. This mny be snid of most miners of experience; but tbe men who make up tho large surplus of the unnecessary population iu the new mining camps are nearly all men of smaller experience, und, to u certain extent useless. Hundreds of mon have gone to the Raiidsburg district who have no knowledge of mining, but imagine they can tind something to do. So it is with the camps of British Columbia; so it is with Alaska. Warnings are continually sounded through the local papers published in all those districts to people to stay away. Probably the best advice thut could be given In those who earnestly desire to learn something of mining is to choose tho older camps, for in these there ure more opportunities for unskilled miners (bun in the new districts, where meu ure compelled to depend so much mure on their own resources*.

Although the subject of buying and selling ores in the mining districts is a daily occurrence yot there aro thoso who have but little knowledge of how sucli transactions nre made. Colonel Bothune, metallurgist of the Moutaun Smelting company, in an interview with a Western Mining World representative last week, has the following to say on this subject: Whether the parties are owners in de facto or only leasers of mines thoy dispose to ore buyers or smelter com panics, tho wholo output of the mine or a .specified number of tons. As there is no public ore mart here wher unction sales are made, the transaction is consummated either liy contract or by tbe ore buyer representing the smelting company, The ore is delivered at the sampling works whero it is weighed, a sample taken for moisture aud tlie ure is passed through rock breakers and rolls, elevated thenco by u series of buckets into a sampler, This sampler in grinding the ore discharges about u tentti of the ore, the balance being conducted to bins. This sample is again reduced by dividing into quarters, and the opposite quar ters being taken. Tbis rule ip followed until tho sample has boon reduced to nbout one pound in weight. This sum pie is sacked aud numbered aud Is then ready for assayiug. At the assay ofllco this sample is again quartered, pulped aud passed through a OD-mesh screen put into sealed bottles, one for the sol ler, one for the buyer and ll third to be retained iu case of dispute in the fluid eottlemeut. It is customary to accept thc smel tor's estimate of moisture autl weight of ore. Tho cost of smelting depends upon the grade aud ehiiruetor of ore. If the ore contains a high percentage of silica, without carrying much gold or sil ver, it wurruuts a high charge foi treatment, or if the ore is a heavy zint it is expensive to trout. Whon the on contains lime, iron or mungnuesu (these elements arc (hives* tho smeltei can lesson materially tho cost of treat mont. The smelter ohai'gos here vary from seven to twelve dollars per ton. Many of the smelters have a fixed schedule price for classified ores.

She is a shepherdess, aud ilrst oamo under tho gaze of tho priuco just before his visit to tho fur oast, with tho Czarowitz of Russia, uow tho Czur, whose Ufa he saved from tho hands of a Japanese assasin. When Prince George returned to Athens lie made good his determination of commund iug tho uavy, aud such was his single hearted devotion to his duties that the court aud ministry eongratnlated themselves upon possessing a model prince and younger son. Still water however, runs deep, («■<*• tllc PrtyceJ utter all, is only u human being. Ho is, moreover! something of a romantic ist; so, at the flrst opportunity, ho hied him to the houso of Larissa and con tinuod his love-making. And tho peasant soul child! Until a short time ho fore tho Cretan war tlie identity ol her lovor was quite unknown to hor Ho was loved like other ineii. There had boon long strolls and talks and ♦discussions about, house -keeping nml n ilifwi'i- of linen and pearls which bo longod to Larissa 'a toator mot her; thero had oven been priiotkud talks about a cow and mules and an Income, all of which were untried UUVOlUOS to this sated young so Ion of a royal limine. His presents, ludood, were of such niagnlilcence as to oauao atupo fuctiun; but. all hough he visited open ly at the girl's house, like ninny of the rustic servants thereabouts, and took Larissa on frequent oxotuntomi upon it ho great waste of waters, lie wore nl- ■ways the niitinnal cost nine niul masked ihis Identity by calling himself a sailor's son from tho Piraeus, Larissa gradually grew to bo a scholar with Ihf bonks Iht lover brought nud the pains ho took to add to the good fun ■dameulal ediiualion whioh she alre-iuly had; and many a golden afternoon of summer, whon Athouian society wou- Mured where Prince George might be for the idyl had uot then become pub Uc property—tho royal lover was read iug and interpreting old Homer to tlio beautiful girl at his side, whilo around them stretched a landscape long sunn [.riiistory, aud not far distant rolled (he classic waters of tho Straights of »Salamis. But such a state of things would not go bn forever. One day a (mounted messenger rode up to tlio tram house while Larissa aud her lover were within and demanded hastily aud nuthoratively for Prince George. When the presence of this royal persouale, aud auy acquainted with him even by sight, was denied. ithe tactless messenger lost patieiire. :a__d, pointing inside to where, ituecm- scious of what wits transpiring, the Toyal head was bent close to that of -the plebian maiden, explained: " I see the prince hero, my good woman ! Make haste and tell him 1 bear the king's orders." The secret was out. Rod and angry, the prince rode away in obedience to tbe paternal command; and it was the last visit iu which tlie freedom of nu accepted suitor was accorded him. Greek womou hold their virtue as the highest prize; and tho next time lie found a few moments beforo ombark- ing on the hastily assumed expedition iuto Cretau waters, the girl with whom _he had roamed so freely over the hills -was closely hedged around by protecting friends. Larissa herself, when remonstrated with, first pleadingly theu furiously answered,with shy dignity: " You aro a king's son. I am only a ineasant woman." But she was only a woman and could not torffeti so she cried out at parting: " But ** *M| Se trus to you always." A few' day8 later the prince and liis torpodo ,1«et set sail off Crete. The 'sailor prh we "is now in tho Gulf of Arta. How ih **U all eud ,110 oue can say, but it h.w boeu suggested that Priuco George, beiug a younger sou, with but a se-condlarj claim to the throne, would gi -flatly increase tlie popularity of his family if ho marries tlie "soul child" of title people. So argue his friends, iu exnuso for sundry meua- Kjes from the prince, while he, amid thickening war clouds, cherishes the memory of the soul child, who has promised to be faithful. ily of nations of a now born offspring of tho British Empire, to bo followed by n liko introduction of others, and as u most Important stop taken towards tho accomplishment of Imperial Federation, will bo utterly disappoint ed if tlie parliament of this.great Do minion', now extending from ocean to ocean, and embracing within its limits half a continent, and having undor its sovereign control all matters relating to marriage and divorce and criminal law especially, and to the peace, order and good government of Canada gone rally, should be held not to have jurisdiction to exorcise that control iu tho terms of sections 275-0 of tlie Criminal Code. Bordering, as Cuuada does, upon several foreign States, in many of which tho laws relating to marriugo and divorce are loose, demoralizing and degrading to the marriage stato, sucli legislation ns is contained Iu the ubove sections of the Criminal Code seems to be absolutely essential to the peace, order and good government ol Canada, mnl in particular to the mnlutoutinco within tlie Dominion of tho purity nml sanctity of the marriage state, ant) for my purl, I cannot entertain a doubt thai, the parliainoul of Canada cat pass nn act as effectual lo hor Majesty's subjects who, being married uutl resilient iu Caiindn, go through a form of tiuiiTiiiKo out of Ciuifuht, having loft Cniimlii wilh the iittfill of going through Bitch form of marrlutfo, fully to the sumo extent ns an Act in Uk teiius passed liy the parliament or lhe United Kingdom could uffool her Mn jOBty'H subjects resident In lhe IJuileil Kingdom, who, being married, should go through 11 form or nuiiTlngo m\Uldo ol ili<- United Kingdom, having loft nny part thoroof Tor lhe purpose of tloing.

By au* important judgment of the Supreme Court of Canada, rendered last week, it has boon declared that sec 275 of' the Criminal Code provides that any person, who, being married and being a British subject, resident iu Canada, leaves this couutry with intent to go through tho form of marriage iu another couutry shall bo guilty of bigamy. By this judgment it will bo impossible for a married person to leave Canada aud by temporary re sldenco iu any ouo of tho States to secure a divorce, aud marry again aud then return to Canada without being Ifoble to arrest for Bigamy. The chief justice, Sir Henry Strong, alone dissented! but In rendering judgment Mr. Justice Gwyuno described tho legislative powers which tho Dominion parliament eujoyed utider tho British North America Act, and proceeding said: "Among the matters placed under tho sovereign pontrol of tho parliament of Canada by the constitu tion aro 'Criminal Law' aud 'Marriugo aud Divorce.' 1 confess it appear to mo t lint tho whole of tho proceedings adopted for tho purposo of framing the constitution of this Dominion jnust bo designated a sham mul u farce; that tho object aud Intent of tlio fram *rs of that constitution would bo completely frustrated aud the hopes of hor Majesty's loyal Canadian subjects -who havo regarded this new oroatiou of the Dominion of Canada as a mode of •introduction, ns it were, into the Cam- I'nil. (limblcby'N Proxnc-.s.leal ions. Easter, 1808, will witness « wonderful hubbub on this little planet culled Earth, if Profossor Ditnbleby, the astronomer, is to be believed. According to bis calculations Easter day, 1808, wil) herald the begiuuiug of the fultlll- ment of the last of tho great prophecies-— Gabriel will sound his trumpet, the resurrection will take place, nud civil government will give place todi vine. Prof. Dimbleby asserts positive ly thut people may arrange their earthly affairs with that date in view, but he does not assert thnt what is commonly known us '"the end of the world' coming all at once. He admits that he does not believe the world is to be burned up and the heavens rolled together as a scroll, but asserts that the spring'0- 1808 is to witness tho second oomlng of C,l.,r-Sl- Between this com ing and ihe begiuuin^ ' the milieu uium he places an Intend ° i^H years—that is. tho time between ^^ aud 1028 will witness the complete ful- tillment of all prophecies concerning the second advent. Prof. Dimbleby does not wish this to be regarded as a prophecy or 11 prediction based on tho general trend of events. What he asserts and works to prove is that Bible time uud dates, couched iu apparently vague uud uncertain terms, are in fact precise nud accurate, uud that by using astronomical time instead of caleu- dar tlioy are subject to exact measurement. The professor, by diagrams and tables, comes to the following conclusions : 1st—Tlie Turkish Empire will be overthrown in September, 1897. 2nd—Gentile times will cease in the spring of 1808. 3rd—The Jews will be restored on the same date. !th-Christ will reappear ou earth on Easter day. oth The resurrection and Judgment will take place on or about the sumo time. 0th—The winding up of earthly affairs will continue Cor about .thirty years, or until 1028. tli—the millennium will begin iu the year 1928. Scientific men have a rare opportunity for investigation und discussion of meteorites nt the Baldwin Locomotive Works, whore a circular saw is engaged iu cutting into slabs a fine specimen of stouo from another world which dropped in Now Mexico iu 1870.

Colonel Baker has made an amendment to tlie mineral act, which defines tlio meaning of the phrase mineral in placo, and the Minister of Mines accepted tho Interpretation of the full court in the Paris Belle case, The section reads: "Hock in placo shall lie deemed to mean and include minerals not, necessarily in u vein or lode, that is wlien discovered in the same placo or position iu which it was originally formed, or deposited, as distinguished [rom loose, fragmentary or broken rock or float, which by decomposition is found in wash gravel or sand. ,Vul uablo deposits of mineral shall mean uud include minora! in place in appreciable quantity having a present or prospective value sufficient to justify exploration."
