The link from the main line fo lhe British Columliia holder will he iihniit inn miles long. This route will also afford a shorter haul to the Montana smelters than that now enjoyed hv the Hill branch line to Fernie and Michel. (Mlicials of tbe Milwaukee have lately heen investigating a number td important eoal propositions in the Canadian Flathead country at prices varying from $r»ti(i,00h to 51,500,000, The matingenierit is credited with the intention of securing a supply of eoal (or its new transcontinental system, efforts to nurclinsc satisfactory eoal lands in Wyoming and other adjacent states having proved unsuccessful; indeed, a liiuli official of the Milwaukee >***stem here this week from Seattle stated thai every American transcontinental line »•; a measure of self-protection will soon he ilepcndeii! on Rnsl Kootenav for its coal supply.

Wiib Ihe opening ot Ue new vear Hie people of Haltonside, Fifwbtre, will miss a figure that has been closely associated with the dailv life of the people for more thau a ireneration. Mrs. Elizabeth Dickson, the village post-woman, will have then ret.ltvd after a service of nearly thirty-one years. In April, 1878, sbe took up the duties of het late husband, and the total distance she has walked on post office duty is nearly 130,000 miles. During part of her service, from 1880 to 1889, she combined the duties of post woman with those of sub-postmistress fur the village, closing the office while on her walk. Being an unes- t.ildished officio), Mrs. Dickson is not entitled to superannuation, but it is likelv that she will receive as an act of grace a compassionate allowance during her retirement. Mrs. Dickson has had only a fortnight's absence on sick leave during her , whole employment. Tbe funeral of Yuan Yap the victim of a recent shooting affair in Chinatown, Liverpool, was accompanied bv some grotesque rites. The coffin was covered with white (lowers, hound witb red satin ribbons, a Chinese emblem for sympathy with a person who hns not died u natural death. The ritual consisted of lirst lighting u Arc near the head of the open -rave. Thej lirht and smoke ol the burning' material, emblem oi tuturity. soared upwards while a Chinaman on his knees fanned the flames, others uttering droning and dolorous sounds. and now and again there came a hollow sepulchral laugh. Streamers of paocr, arranged like the tails of kite, steeped in scented liquid, were ignited, the aroma being wafted all round as the flames increased. Money was thrown down hv the mourners on to tbe coffin in silver and copper. Then the cork of a whisky bottle was drawn, anil a motion of the contents scattered into the grave. Howls of rice were brought up, and their contents em- plied mto tbe grave. Then more whiskey was waited from the ni b ol the bottle, and fruit wus handed round. A quantity ol biscuits was also dropped upon the coffin and there followed a iin.il great pouring out of whisky. A plump chicken ami a puce ol meat, weie next handed round, After all thi; stores had heen eaten, oj .-ast intu the grave, two Chinamen came forward and swiftly threw the oil into tho - ravi Tho somewhat extraordinary careei • -I .in alien wa:. l.mi bale in J.uudun recentlv. when a Hungarian agent was charged with stealing Jewellery and plate value £25, property of Mr. sulu, broker, oi Piccadilly, Detective-Sergeant Tritton said prisoner bad had a most romantic career, lie hud taken out a large number of patents, had beeu a director of com panics, and bad earned largo sums of money in that way. In .luue last he was almost penniless, and entered the service of prosecutor as clerk. After being there a week be was given 30s. to get some documents stamped, hut he kept the money, went to Mr. Suhr's house at Cttckli wood, got Mrs. Suhr away by a false message, and then took all tlie plati and jewellery be could lind. Tbt same night he left for the Continent, where he remained until some wcekf ago. He then saw iu an English newspaper that an ancestor (he wai very well connected) had left a large sum of money two hundred years ago which had never been claimed. He came to England with the intention of claiming it, and was arrested the night of his arrival. During the few years he had heen in England In- had obtained various sums of money from respectable girls after promising tbem marriage. One girl burrowed £80 to give him, and was now working day aud night to pay it back Ho was sentenced to three months' hard laboi and recommended for de portation. Laden with the largest cargo of oil and skins she has ever carried, and little auxiliary steamboat Harmony recentlv arrived in tbe London docks after a six months' cruise iu the h'rozen North. She belongs to the Moravian Mission, and her dutv is to make an annual and eagerly looked Ior visit co their missionaries in lonely exile amongst the Eskimos. Leaving the docks, the little craft made a quick run to Makkovik, on the coast of South Labrador, loaded with comforts for thc missionaries. No ill was encountered except at Hebron, a 't-ort whose harbor was fro/en up. The iron-plated bows of thc Harmony however, with the assistance of' full steam, crashed through the obstacles with slight damage to the ship, and thc call was duly made. At Kamah an exciting incident occurred which almost ended the career of the Harmony. Waiting to embark the population to transfer it to Naln, a hurricane arose which almost drove the vessel ashore. Compelled to cut adrift from her moorings, the Harmony had t» leave Kamah minus her passengers, who were forced to tramp sixty miles over the mountains to Hebron, where the ship eventually picked them up. "Heggar Smith's" bounty to Char iwood, near Kedhill, of bread and meat, was distributed a few days he fore Christmas. Henry Smith was a wealthy citizen and alderman of London, who died in 1027, and who for the last three centuries has been known as "Heggar Smith." Fleforc making his will, in the guise of beggar, he visited scores of villages in East Surrey nnd provided for the villagers according to the manner in which thev befriended bim, so tradition runs. His bequests to the poor are as varied as they are numerous. To one parish he bequeathed money tn purchase a whip.

DOMINION MINING REPORT The Report on the Mining und Metallurgical Industries of Canada, issued by the Department of Mines ot the Dominion Government, is a publication whieh should not, like the great majority of valuable reports, pamphlets and so on of a like nature, he permitted lo drop into the bands ot those specially interested in the subject matter without culling the attrntiou ot lbe puhlie generally to its existence and its extreme importance to the great mining industry of British Columbia. Tbe name of the Hon. W. Templeman, late Minister of Mines in the Dominion Government is very specially identified witb this great publicu- Caiinilii must have presented a serious names of A. P. Low, L.L.D., the Deputy Minister, and Dr. Eugene llaaiiel, Die eminent director of the department. . The mode ot dealing wilh the enormous mass of facts Involved iu anything pretending to be a compendious report ou the mining industry ot Canada must have presented a serious matter of consideratiau at the very- step-oB of the enterprise, but it was admirably solved by dividing the Dominion into provinces and again sub-dividing the provinces under thc heads ot the various brauches ot mining following in the province under discussion. Thus, the review of tbe Yukon deals first with the historical tacts in connection with the wonderful gold discoveries of tbat region, then it goes into the subject of placer mining, and thirdly lode mining. Once more the subjects themselves are divided and sub-divided, until finally we come to a resume ut the output and principal features of every gold-producing property in that famous district. In like manner is all British Columbia dealt with under heads covering the historical features, placer mining, tin: genesis of lode mining, lode mining production, coal coke, note;-; on recent development and progress, and labor conditions in our province. As a test of the value of the index to the volume a reference was sought to the Reco mine, near Sandon, in the Slocan, owing to a recollection of a huge mass of pyrargyrite (ruby silver) taken from the Goodeiiough vein ot the Reco in the'spring of 11)02. Not alone is full information given of the company, its capitalization, members, development and progress, hut attached to a first- class map showing every foot of the workings, both on thc horizontal audit) the section. In the case ot the St. Eugene even the flow sheet of the concentrator is given, and so in like manner witli many other properties in different mining divisions of tbe province. The maps and illustrations, the latter being particularly interesting and instructive, form an important part af the volume, where if one wants to find the relative cost of sinking, drittig, shaft- sinking, or the like, the cost per foot can be ascertained from the oflicial figures of the companies. Thus, in thc Sullivan mine at Kimberley, the cost of drifting is given at $16 per foot and of sinking $20. Brielly stated, it may he said that there is not an operating mine in British Columbia that is not dealt with as tully as it is possible in thc limits of a work short of an actual encyclopedia. The other provinces are treated quite us exhaustively as is our own, so that to anyone interested in the great subject ot our mineral re- J sources, this is a work of exceeding interest and of great importance as a < valuable reference book, ' The compilation and preparation of the Information appearing in tbe report as to British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba was under the verv competent chgrge of IX, IX. Medley,' late of Nelson, who tor main years had charge as manager of the Mall's mine smeller nt that eity. It appears ns if the new electrical zinc smelter at Nelson had not advanced itself sulli- ciently to merit an extended description at the time the pages went to press, Tills is to be regretted, as in this process lies the future of the successful and profitable treatment of Ihe great supply nf gfnclforoua ores of both West and East Kootenav. The Hon. Mi. Templeman is to he rung]niu!aled on the (treat work that has been produced under his supervision as Ministci nf Mines. PROVINCIAL HOUSE Victoria, Feb. 4.—Another afternoon was devoted to routine business, several bills being advanced a stage. Hon. W. J. Bowser, Attorney General, introduced a hill to amend the Arbitration Act. J. ll. lluwLhointhwaite, Nanaimo, has given notice ot a motiou to extend tbe franchise to women iu Provincial elections. John Melnnes, Grand Forks, moved the second reading ot his bill to amend the inspection uf Metalliferous Mines Act. Thc premier moved the adjournment ot the debate. The hills to amend the * Magistrates Act, providing for the revision of tbe statutes and to amend the Horticultural Board Act, were considered in committee. lion. Mr. Bowser moved the second reading of his hill to amend the Provincial Elections Act. The motion was opposed hy Mr. Hawthornthwaite, Mr. Melnnes and Parker Williams, who designated the hill oue to disfranchise workmen. The premier spoke in defence ot thc bill, while the leader of the Opposition, who expressed approval ot the principle of the measure, urged that necessary amendments could be made in committee. On a division the second reading carried on a joint vote ot thc Conservatives and Liberals, only the Socialists voting against. Bills to amend thc Fire Insurance Policy Act and thc Supreme Court Act were read a second time as also ihe private hills to Incorporate the Victoria A Barclay Sound Railway company, whieh is in charge of John Jnidtne.'

WILL ADMIT CHINKS AND JAPS Lethbridge, Alta., Feb. 5.—The seventh annual convention of District No. 18 of the United Mine Workers of America will go on record as being one of the mosl important in the history of the district. Some very important legislation wus put through. One uf the must important questions to eomo before the convention wns that of allowing Asiatics to become members of the union. A CORRECTION, Whereas, some of our advertising mutter connected with thc sale for tlie Cranbrook Co-Operative Stores stock, would seem to reflect on tbe insurance companies in the adjustment in the recent loss by fire of the ('ranhrook Co-Operative Store, in that we state "Having failed to arrive at a satisfactory settlement ot the insurance loss," we wish to correct any erronotis impression on the part of the public and desire to say that thc statement was used in that broad sense, implying that in consideration of the fact that thc Cranhrook Co-Operative Co. was not only heavy losers by fire, whieh loss was satisfactorily adjusted by the different companies involved, but as the store was closed tor an entire month, with the consequent loss ot business, which alone curtails a loss that no insurance can entirely cover. We wish it understood that said advertisement was not intended to reflect, iu anv wav, on the integrity or fairness of any of thc insurance companies, whose business, we understand, was entirely satisfactory. Yours respectfully, Macker -fe Cochran For the Cranbrook Co-Operative Co. ♦- DOMINION ESTIMATES.

This was in the case of some eighteen employes ot the United Collieries company against two directors of that company for wages due them, amounting to some 6700. Judgment was given tor the miners. This was a test case and provides that laborers and wage-earners may collect the wages due them trom any or all of the directors ot a joint stock company iu thc event of that company failing.

WIRELESS NOW COMPULSORY Washington, Feb. L—Appreciating the value of the suggestions that have arisen since tbe introduction ot his bill to require all ocean passenger vessels to be equipped with wireless telegraphy, Representative Burke of Pennsylvania, today re-introduced his bill with several amendments. This action followed a long conference with Commissioner Chamberlain of the bureau of navigation, and General Uhler, supervising inspector general of the steamboat navigation service, in thc department of commerce and lahor. Both officials approve of the new hill. Thc conference was held at thc suggestion of the house committee on merchant marine and fisheries which has been considering the subject. This committee will meet tomorrow to take ni-tion on the new hill. As amended the hill applies to ocean passenger steamers certified to carry fifty passengers ot more between ports two hundred utiles distant, instead of 500 miles as in the first bill. The new hill thus makes the requirements applicable to coastwise vessels, except on the Great Lakes. The penalty is changed so as to provide for a maximum fine of $HUM or one year's imprisonment.

BE HONEST, BUT HATE NO ONE, OVERTl UN A MAN'S WRONG-DOING, BUT DO NOT OVERTURN HIM UNLESS IT MUST HE DONE IN OVERTURNING THE WRONG, STAND WITH ANYBODY THAT STANDS RIGHT. STAND WITH HIM WHILE HE IS RIGHT, AND PART WITH HIM WHEN HE goes WRONO.—Abraham Lincoln. Tomorrow the United Stales will celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the birthday ol its greatest citizen. As the years go by brighter glory gathers around the life aud services nf Abraham Lincoln. Many times have writers attempted to describe aud appraise them in detail, and tlie list ot works devoted to his name and fame will lengthen continually. The subject cannot tie exhausted. John Morgan has written a hook, "Lincoln, Buy and Mau," aud though it tells little that is not familiar, still it is a work that perhaps, goes a little deeper into the "inside" Lincoln than anything ever yet published. From its pages it Is easy to cull many paragraphs that were written fully fifty years ago, but that are still watchwords of eternal truth. Speaking of Lincoln's famous debate with Douglas, Mr, Morgan quotes the following paragraph, which is a never-to-be-forgotten gem: "When the white man governs himself, that is self-government; but when he governs himself and also governs another man, that is more than self-government. That is despot ism. No man is good enough to govern another man without the other's consent." "Repeal the Missouri compromise, repeal all compromise, repeal the Declaration of Independence, repeal all pnst history, still you cannot repeal human nature." "Our Republic's robe is soiled and trailing in the dust. Let us purity it. Let us turn ami wash it white in the spirit if not in the blood ot the revolution." The author goes on through the lite of this great American until his assassination at Ford's theatre. Perhaps one ot the most beautiful passages in the whole book is the following written hy Lincoln's Springfield law partner, Mr. Herudon: "From every direction demands come for him (Lincoln) to speak or act, but he resolutely refrained from adding to the volume of idle sound. There was an anxious desire all over thc country to take thc measure of the untried leader. Lincoln is a man of heart, aye, as gentle as a woman's and as tender—hut he has will as strong as iron. He, therefore, loves all mankind, hates slavery and every form of despotism. Lincoln will fail here, namely, it a epics, tion of political economy—if any question comes up which is doubtful, questionable, which no man can demonstrate, there his friends can rule him; hat when on justice, right, liberty, the government, tlic constitution and the union, there you may all stnnd aside; he will rule there and no man can rule him—no set of men can rule him. There is no failure here. This is Lincoln, "anil you mark my prediction. You and I must keep the people right. God will keep Lincoln right.1' Even though the dark days of '61 to '05 have long past and Lincoln is long since buried in his martyr's grave, his great heroic, lonely, melancholy life, his severe wisdom, untiring patience and dauntless courage will always be a beacon light, not only to Americans, but to the whole civilized world. LOST IN BIG EARTHQUAKE (Frank paper.) Quite a number of friends and kindred of members of the Italian colony of the Pass were lost in thc great earthquake and tidal wave by which Southern Italy and Sicily were devastated iu thc latter part of December. toe Olivia, of Frank, whose former home was near Reggio, Frank A lam- pi and S.

At l o'clock tlie company fell in ut thc Gymnasium and the roll tall showed about 10 present. Very smart tho lads looked in their forage caps, haversacks and brown belts. Ou the order: "Compauy form fours, left wheel, quick march," the boys marched hy way uf Chinatown and down the main street and halted outside the Fiuk Mercantile company's store, where, with the hoys standing at attention, Mayor Finn addressed them, llie mayor complimented the cotnpaui on Us appearance uud then addressed a few words to them along the lines ot loyalt discipline and suliordtii; tion. Mr. Fink said: "Your uniforms are nice and no doubt thu instructions your officers give you are thu best, but unless you learn your l< ssolt, obey orders and lake a heartfelt Interest in the work yourselves all these outward signs will not avail much." •*But," said Mayor Kink, "1 teel sure that you will und 1 hope that very shortly wc shall have a much larger Boys' Brigade than we have ul present." After being addressed liy the mayor the boys marched to Winning's studio, where they were photographed. Great credit is due Captain Main, Sub-Captain Hughes, Lieutenant Selby and fcscrgeant Major Wilson for Die work they have done in bringing tlie company up to such proficiency in so short a time. Corporals Burgoine, Bathie, Fowler awl Cryderman handle their squads well. It" is to be hoped that the Boys Brigade will keep together and grow because no institution can be better for boys than one that-teaches discipline, neatness and self-control.
