Owing to tome of the parts having been left out when the machinery was shipped, the plant could not be put in operation as quickly as anticipated. Superintendent Burdsall was in town Tuesday, and said tn substance; " While we started the compressor today, the output will not be materially increased right away. I want to get everything working smoothly and so that I know nothing will give out before starting in to work the plant to its fnll capacity. "As to the uiine.it is looking better than it ever did .and steadily improving." The Herald has only this much to Bay in addition: The time is not far distant when the output of the Sullivan, the S*. Eugene and North Star, will astonish the world, collectively and separately. MORE PERRY CREEK STRIKES. Perry Creek Still Conli| to the Front With New and Rich Discoveries. J. H. Taylor, the Perry Creek mining man, was in recently and says lhat Dan Monroe and his partner, H. Kllers, have made another great discovery on Ferry Creek; if the reports are realized the find will prove to be one of tbe most important ever made in East Kootenay. Mr. Taylor stated that he had not been to thc new discovery himself, but that he had been informed by Mr. Monroe that he had made 10 locations on a big ledge that showed much free gold and would also show big beads of the same metal by roasting. Mr. Taylor also says that tbe Kootenay nnd Pei ry Creek Co.'s big Petri lead is still panning gold, it is said, as the cross cut—uow ao or more feet lu widih—proceeds . _______________ Stockholders Visit the Salllvai.

Ridpath, loo, seemed very well pleased, (here being a vast difference tn its appearance at this time compared with his visit made mouths previously. If tbe colouet is a mau who ever enter- taius any regrets for the past, undoubtedly one of hte principal ones is that he at vaiious times '* unloaded" large blocks of Sullivan. To Miners.

PROVINCIAL NEWS NOTES i pay ■•in The members of various Baptist societies now resident in Cranbrook met at tbe home of Rev. I), lloliord on Wednesday evening, August 22, to con- aider tbe advisability of organizing us n cburcb. The nature and importnnee of a New Testament church theu received due and careful deliberation. Hach member present believed a Christian church lo be a congregation of baptised believers in Christ, worshipping together; associated in the faith and fellowship of the gospel, practicing its precepts, observing its ordinances, recognizing and receiving Christ as tbeir Supreme Law giver and ruler, ami taking His word ns their sufficient audexclusivcrule of faith and practice in all matters of religion, unanimously agreed to organize nt ouce. This was done by uniting in mutual covenant to sustain the reialionsandobliga lions prescribed by llie gospel, to be governed by the laws of Christ's bouse, aud to maintain public worship and the preaching of the gospel. Articles of faith were adopted, us also a name by which the church shall lie known—The Cranbrook First Baptist Church. Officers were then elected, Rev. O. Holford, If. D., being chosen hr their pastor. Rev. P. H. McKwen, of New West minster, B. C, superintendent of B iptist missions, presided. Baptist church service will be held in Wentworth hall every alternate Lord's day, at 7:30 p.m., until further notice; also a service of prayer and bible study every Thursday evening at 8, to which all are welcome. The Design of the Church. The evident design of our Savior in founding and preserving churches iu tlie world, was that lhey should tie monuments in the midst of guilty men, bear- Ing perpetual witness against the wickedness of the world ami to the goodness of God; but especially tbat lhey should be living testimonials to the v ork ol redemption, the light of the world, and the aalt of Uie earth. They constitute the effective instrumentality by which tlie will of God und the knowledge of salvation through Christ are made known lo meu; at the same time they form homes for saints on earth, sheep-folds for the safety of the flock, and schools for tbe instruction and training of the children uf the covenant, whUe they encourage the pe tie tent and warn tbe careless. As a church we shall endeavor to well understand our high calling and seek to accomplish it, according to lhc will of God. Rev. D. Holford, B. D , Missionary and Church Organize!, Cranbrook, B. C.

A few nights ago a railroad worker known as the "Big Swede" was silling in a room of a public house in an oblivious condition; a well-known railroad trainman, once well up in the service, came in aud 'touched" tbe Swede for a watch, which later was taken by the thief to a house on tbe row and disposed of. The man was arretted and is now in jail; he will have his trial Saturday. He is very anxious that bis name should be suppressed, so a* uot to cause his family "worry." lie is very considerate of his family indeed, as according to reports tbey have for some lime been suffering for the necessities of life and iu a way dependent upon charitable people for their meagre sustenance, while the husband—wbo is so feorfnl tbey might be worried over his arrest—lias been blowing his money for whiskey nml women, Two Mea Drowned.

A London dispatch says that Mrs. Richard Chamberlain, sister-in-law of the secretary of state for lhe colonies, who very recently returned from Soulh Africa, has been interviewed regarding her experiences there.

All Indications are now favorable for several big mines being opened in ihe close vicinity of Moyie. New discoveries are being made, aud the development work beiug done on the old properties is showing tbem up lo good advantage. One of the richest strikes recently made was that on the Black Diamond and Mu- pah, situated about eight miles fiom this place, near the head of Moyie lake. These claims were recently located by J. M. Lindsay and Robert Mills. The government buildings which have so long been promised Moyie have been granted at last. In th? recent appropriations voted un by the provincial legis lature lhe sum of $1,500 was included for such buildings as Moyie required. Government Agent Armstrong, when here this week, said lhat he was simply waiting for instructions to go ahead witb the work.

Here Mr. McVittie succeeded in locating ten square milts of lands ihat iu many places oil oozed through Ihe earth by digging or by upturning large boulders. Iu one place a match was applied to a crevice in the rocks and a flame Irom natural gas whs the result. Tbere can tie little doubt about the matter of vast oil deposits in that region which only awaits development and transportation fm iii ties to be productive of great wealth, Regarding transportation Mr. McVittie says it would be a very simple mailer to construct a pipe line from the fields to tbe Grenl Northern railroad.

Spokane Industrial Fair. The mining department of lhe Spokane Industiiiil Exposition, which opens on thc 2d day of October, promises io be better this year than ever before. Many districts already are preparing exhibits and some which did uut exhibit last year are assuring the management tbey will he on hand this time with a representa tive exhibit which will be worthy of their section of the country.

Next Monday night the members of the Machinists' Union in Cranbrook will give a ball at Wentworth hall. A cake- walk by ladies and gentlemen will Ilea feature. The Machinist's union is a participant in the C. P. R. strike now on, nnd organized labor and its friends, especially, should show that their principles are more than talk deep, and attend enmasse. That the occasion will tie en- joyuble and entirely devoid of any objectionable featuies, goes without saying. First Fire Alarm.

He came aud tbe three tongh.s set upon him, got his billy away from him and be.it him badly about the head and face with it. Lindsay was able to tie around Monday morning, much tbe worse for wear. Two of his assailants were captured; it is hardly probable the third one will make his escape. Tbey should be given the extreme penalty of lhe law. A Resident Dentist.

He wus gliul of this, lest she should have naked him why be wont to his work two hours earlier thnn Usual. lie jn-iA-vcUvd to \\liv _tuui4 IStfUStttf be stones, heaved tbe covering slab iside.gotiiito the cUcHtandbroughtcut the gold rings und cup. He furbished them Up,and tbey sparkled iu tlie morn- g sun. When ull were ranged before bim, he shook bis bead. "It would be madness to risk it," said be. "If I morrii d Polly, men be them corkscrews, she'd have the whole story out of me, nud tbey be thai chiiUerlioxes, lbey can't help talking, and she'd blub about it to every one in the pluee. Then I'd have tbe crown, snd the duchy, and the lord o' the manor, uud the parson und the 143 uuunuu-.e]**-- down uu me tor deniumHug their ^biites. Bc hanged if I'll ri*.k it. Women is ter'ble dangerous animals with their tongues, iirver to be trusted." Then In wenl ull the treasure again into tbe eotlin tbnt hud contained and preserved it for ■i.QOi) years. "1 know whut I'll do." suld Jos. "I'll build my new-take wall right over this old grave, nnd then no one cun get at the treasure without pulling down the wall." I.'utle did Jos Buap-iet thut he was being watched, and thut hts every wurd was overheard by Tolly herself, who was behind the rock bind by, whero she Imd picked up flint chips and (lakes. Slowly, painfully, Jos Day worked ut bis wall. He succeeded in carrying it over Ibe cairn, und thus lu* secured his Irensni-* from being disturbed, and thus was it made fast *4,niinst Ihe rainy day. In the eoiiTse of the next three months he had completed the Inclosure, and hud taken from ihe common a tract of gootl land of ftvo-and-twenty acres In extent, About this time Mury Aggett's mother died. Jos pitied ber greutly. the cottage was st> lonely for the girl. Ills heart grew soft when be saw her In bluck. "liless me!" suid he. **U 1 lived In thut cottage it would save me half of my journey every duy. but I won't risk it." Shortly after this 11 great surprise eame to llim. One morning he found in bis "new take" a Hock of sheep all branded M. A. -•(Inwioiis bless ins!" exclaimed Jos. "How ever eame tbe sheep there'? I'll tun usk Polly, she may know. She must hu* seen some one drive 'em Ibis way." lie went to the cottage ami siwke in heat; "Mary, some owdoclous radicals have been turning sheep into my new take during tbe night. They are marked M. A." "They are mine, Jos." *. . "Yours, Polly?" "Yes. lt was very kind and considerate t>r you, Jos, to Ineloso so muny acres for me. I thank you with all my heart." "Inclose for you! It Is my new take!" "There is some misunderstanding," answered the girl. "The new take Is certainly mine. I havo l>een to the lord of llie manor and have iKinght it— •,•3 acres ut so much gold per ucre. I have the pa[»ers ail drawn out." "Yours! Where did you get the money ?" That wus a question Mary did not un- swer. After luiicb eoiifcideratiou Jus said, fultt-riugly: "Tbis is a pretty go! How nm I to be paid for the witlllng?" "I'm sure 1 can't think, Jos." "Hut it- bas engaged me off andon for is months. Fifty |>ounds wouldn't ro* pay my labor. I en n't afford—" "I really am sorry for you," "There is only one way out of it," ex- clalined Jos, "that 1 can see; and that is by changing the brand on the sheep from A to I), nml by lumping together my wall ami your land." "Well, I'm not particular," answered Mury, and so the. matter was settled. They were married, and Jos fouud that he had secured not only a very capital bit of land, but with it a very thrifty, witty and wise wife. At the close of the first twelvemonth there were three in the house in the place of two. At the end of the second yenr the number luul mounted to live, for the second addition lo the family consisted in twins. But the conscience of Jos wus un- ciiisy. Something stood betweenhimand Polly. He hnd a secret from her, und that is ever a barrier to connubial unity. Christmas was approaching. Jus resolved to make u clean breast of it und tell Mary everything, Christmas day arrived nud Joe put on his Sunday coat uml (lowered his "w*es- kit," took his lever and went forth. "Polly," wild be, "come along. I've a BiirprlMj for you," He deliberately threw tlown 11 portion of bis new-take wuii, discovered lhe lid of the stone chest, ti vrred it aside, ami then jumped into the box. Next moment he -rose out of it blank witli despair, trembling with disappointment. His trrus-ure was gone. Ity the side of Ibe ealrn und overthrown wtill stood his wife watching him, with a smile on her cherry lips and a twinkle in tier bright eyes. A toddling child clung to her RklrtS ns she held one of ilw twins in each arm. "Poll!" he gasped, "I'm a ruined man. I've lost everything, I've 1s*eu robbed." Then she laughed and when she laughed tin* child bedding tier skirt lailglicd also and the babes in her arms eh nek led ami crowed. "No. Jon JUtiliy Hay," she Mud, "you have lost nothing, you have gained much, I found yuur lreastire,aiid 1 dis- IMtsed of ii to the antiquarian gcnUe- miui who buys lhe arrow heads. With Un* money I bought tbo liintl, the sheep, the cows—and you." Then Jos scrambled outof the grave, and fell u laughing, and hi* laughed till the tears run down his cheeks. "Ity ginger!" said he; "woman's wit outweighs man's wisdom. My true treasure-trove is here"- he t-kupped his wife on the shoulder—"nnd it's one neither crown, nor duchy, nor lord of the manor, nor parson nor the hundred and forty-three commoners have, on? particle of right over no more nor a pin's head, but is all—all and undivided —my own."—The Graphic, When in Kimberley Stop at the !

Drones draw so heavily ou the stores of honey tbnt many contrivances nre now used lo kill them. If two or more swarms cluster together, don't put 1 bein iill iii one hive, or valuable queens may be lost. If hives become daubed ap with propolis, lift out the frames, place them iu a new hive ami clean up Ibe old one. Hives should be made so tliat tbey cau he opened without jarring them. Nothing is mure irritating lu bees than sudden jars. Arrange the apiary so that everything may be kept neat ami tidy, and do not compel the bees to Hi lend their way through weeds and grass to get tu tbeir hives. Bees moved in tlie spring seldom go back to their old quarters, fur thpy generally mark llieir lociltluu wlieu tbey take their lirst flight, whether tbey have been moved or nut. Propolis is a gum or varnish that bees colled for varnishing over tbe inside of their hives, filling cracks and crevices, cementing loose pieces of the hive together and makiug tldags fast.—St. IjouIs Ucpubllc.

Everybody should bear in iniiul that the moal essential point in attaining a well-dressed itppcnrance is to study consistency ami becomkngucss, na well aa tho latest modes In out nnd fabrics. Tin* gown for the morning may bt* of the most oxpcuslvc material, yet if it In* of fabrics designed forevonlngwenr, nnd mode after the style of a street or reception costume, both time and money havo been thrown away in the effort tu make something suitable to the time. The morning house gown, and especially thut of thin, airy, flowing1 materials, has an irresistible fascination ior lhe esthetic woman. If she is a success in this neglige dress, she pretty well understands the art of selecting, in color and style, llie-gown tliat best haruioni/os with her surroundings nnd her own Individuality, and Bhe wear:; it with the air of never having considered the effect nl all. The morning gown affected by the women of to-day is less the wrapper ami more tha dainty Arena, in which ono enn appear with nil propriety outside the door of hor own boudoir. In it she is appropriately gowned; ami while it h uut BtilTened with bones, Btnya nnd tnterllnlngs, the contour of thc figure is not entirely hidden, as iu the days when the Mother-llublmrd wrapper went swirling in uneven fullness and slovenly fold about her feet and waist, .Not that we wholly condemn this comfortable lounglng-gown, which, when lined In that enpaeity, is a comfort- giving garment; hut let its use be confined to the lounging*.00m, and not at the breakfast tatble or for the reception of morning cullers. The woman who Is carefully and becomingly gowned In the early morning not only adds greatly to her appearance, from thc point of good dressing, but takes on a more youthful appearance, ami the effect sho hns upon those around her is by fur more pleasing than If she hus the look of having hud just time euough to throw on a wrapper und reach the morning- room to situteh a bite with the rest of the household. At no time is the morning house gown more appreciated than In warm weather, when even the most comfortable of outdoor garments seems unbearable. Its very daintiness nmlies one cool, and when the thinnest materials ure used with the laciest of trimmings, the delight of the wearer is only equaled by the pleasing effect the tout ensemble has upon others, ln autumn ami winter months the house gown, while quite Qf) dainty, takes on a more substantial and close-flttlng air, suggesting warmth and Qozlness, Richer nnd warmer colors nre generally used, though many women cling to the dainty, delicate tints and pure white all the year round. -"Woman's Home Companion. .„,- I.O.O.F.
