MINES AND MINING. On hearing of the rich gold-silver- copper strike on Bugaboo Creek, a large party of prospectors immediately left Golden for that district about the bef-jinning of the week to locate .he uew strike. A stick containing about a hundred pounds of the surface crop* pings was brought down on the steamer Duchess last Wednesday, and the sample la a beautiful one. There are two loads���one five feet in width, carrying ore throughout and assaying high iu copper, silver and gold, while the lead cropi out for nearly 3,000 feet. Tlie second lead Is reported, aa being twenty feet iu width, showing nine feet of surface ore. The samples from the latter show it to be a yellow oopper ore, with a white quartz matrix, heavily stained with red oxide of iron, The sinking of tho shaft on the property of the Golden Placer and Quartz Mining Company, on .Canyon Creek, is progressing very satisfactorily, The company's manager, L. H. Estell,-who was in town the middle of the w-sek, reports tho shaft as down judgment is mighty poor. In our estimation the prohibition law in the Prairie Province will last about as long as the proverbial snowball In . ���Banff Gazette. Hon. Alex. Vidal, a satellite from Sarnia, who holds down a seat in the Senate Chamber, went on record the other day as being opposed to restricting Chinese immigration, because it was neither Christian nor British. If Senator Vidal and other venerable idiots in the Ottawa Senate were half ns Christian or British us tbey would have the world believe, they would probably savvy that tlie principal objection to Chinese is that they are uot and never will be Christian or British.

Interviewed by the Revelstoke Board of Trade and Others. Reyelatoka Harnld: Hon. "W. C. Wells, M.P.P*, the new Commissioner ot Lauds and Works, came up from the south on Saturday. While here he was busily engaged with Government officials and others all the evening, among whom President Brown and the Board of Trade had their turn. In the interview which followed and at wbich Thos, Taylor, M.P.P., H. A. Brown, W, M. Brown, I. T. Brewster, J. M. Scott, C. P, Lindmnrk, It, Gordon und tho members of tbe local pres-i were present, the case of tho proposed wa-^onroad into tho Big Bond district wat the subject cf discussion nnd Hie arguments for the road were presented bv the various members present from different points of view aod a copy of the memorandum, which ��F i-t to be attached to the petition was handed to the Minister, It seemed to be the general feeling that if we could got 825,000 this next session to build ibe road us far as Carnes Creek, it would be a reasonably satiafactory answer to our request. Mr Taylor said that he thought the Ministers whom he had recently seen in Victoria were favorable to that proposition. After hearing with great courtesy and attention the wbole discussion Mr. Wells said that for his part he was in favor of a vigorous policy of development of the resources of the country by road and trail building. His idea was that a sum of two million dollars should be borrowod to form a fund for this purpose, and if bis proposal to that effect was accepted by his col* leagues and the House he thought that Revelstoke might confidently expect to see the Big Bond road built, As It was now train time, after being tendered a hearty vote of thanks for the patient and kindly hearing wbich he had accorded the deputation, Hon.Mr. Wells left on the Imperial Limited W Q Q1VTA A PAVDAV PetePboPodcth, B.C., Have equipped themselves with tlie largest and most complete stock of General Merchandise in tho Windermere Mining District and ma kins' their aim at PETERBOROUGH.

July It).���Loid Roberts reports to the war oftlce under date of Pretoria, July 12, as follows: "Tbe enemy, having failed in their attack upon our right rear, as mentioned in my telegram uf July 9, made a uetermined attack upon our right flank yesterday, and I regret to say sncoeeded lapturing Nitrui's Nek, whioh was garrisoned hy a Bquadron of the Scot's Greys, with two guns of the Roynl artillery, and two companies of tbe Lin* oolushire regiment. Tbe enemy attacked in superior numbers ut duwu, aud seizing a hill commanding the Nek, brought heavy gnu lire to bear upon the small garrison, A list of the casualties hns not been received, bnt I fear they are heavy, "Simultaneously, an attack was inado on our outposts near Dnrdepoort, north of the town,in which the Seventh Dragoons wero engaged. The regiment was handled with considerable skill by Lieut. Ool. Low, und kept the enemy in check until they retired on their sup- ports, and would probably have suffered hnt flight loss had not onr troops mis* taken some Poors in the bushes tor onr own men. 'Gen. Smith-Dorrien had a successful engagement with the enemy yesterday near Krugersdorp and inflicted heavy low on them. "Geu. Buller reports tbe Boers, who were destroying his line of railway near Faardekraal, wero driven off yesterday nfter a short aotion. "Gen. Hart reports from Heidelberg tbat the surrendering of Boer arms and ammunition continues in that distriot. Loudon, July 13.���Lord Roberts' despatch, reporting still another unfortunate ocnrrenoe, throws a serions light upon the state of affairs in South Afrioa. Instead of the surrender of all the remaining Boers being imminent, as recent telegrams bad hinted, it seems tbey bave been making an attempt to surround or capture Pretoria, It is evident tbat Gen. Botha bas a considerable force, seeing that be is able to press Lord Roberts' line at half a dozen points around Pretoria, from the Springs lo the oity, northward to Mid- dleburg, and Dnrdepoort, and thenee southward to Nitral's Nek, and Krugersdorp. Lord Roberts omits to give the name of thu commander concerned, giving rise to the belief that worse remains to be told. News has reached London that Lord Roberts has been suffering from a serions bowel complaint, and tbat Lady Roberts was hurriedly summoned from Bloemfontein. The war otlice announces that Gen. Buller reports that 069 prisoners, released by the Boers, have arrived at Ladysmith. THE CHINESE MILITARY Said to lie Under the Direction of Europeans��� No News From Pekin. Loudon, July 18. ��� A terrible veil of silence enshrouds Pekin and there is nobody but believes tbe worst has happened. It is taken for granted tbat all the powers bave exhausted every means to get direct news from their legations and tbe faot that their efforts have been in vain, leaves but one interpretation. Tbe day's news is again restricted to the usual crop of untrustworthy Shanghai rumors, the most serious of which, reported by the correspondent of the Express, to the effect that Europeans are directing the Chinese military operations. Statements are in circulation in Shanghai accusing tho Russians of indiscriminate slaughter of friendly Chinese non-combatants, withont regard to age or sex It is asserted that tbe Buddhists priests throughout the empire are propagating Prinoe Tnan's anti-foreign gospel News ia circulating through the Yang Tse volley that Gen. Ma has inflicted a crushing defeat upon the allies at Tien Tsin, and that th? foreign army bas beon cnt to pieces east of Pekin. The a;tnal impotence for tbe moment of tbe allied forces naturally gives oolor to these stories, with tbe worst results. Tbe Canton correspondent of tbe Daily Telegraph, writing Jnly 11, says: "Li Hung Obang has deoided to remain here, and the Americau gunboat which was waiting to oouvey him en route to Pekin will sail tomorrow."

A well dressed stranger calls on a farmer and after being shown the farm expresses a desire to boy it, and offers a good price, and if he strikes a bargain pays down a snm, say %*00 by way of illustration. Nothing farther is beard from tbis man, but two weeks later a man and woman stop at the farm bouse for dinner. Tbe woman takes'a fancy to the plaoe, aud thinks she must bave it. They then offor the farmer $1,000 more than the flrst man offers, aud the farmer decides tbat if he can st-core a release from bis bargain he will let them bave it. He then hunts np stranger No. landoffeis to return his $800, and in addition to pay bim $500 to be relieved from tbe bargain. Tbis is satisfactory to the buyer, and be receives tbe money, Tbe second buyer then makes a payment of $100, and that is tbe last seen of tbem. Tbe former Is out just $400 in oasb. Colbonme.

"The engagement lasted six hours, and waa foogbt with great determination ou bath sides. The Chinese were eventually to utilise tbe eheutlve guns of tho fort abutting on the city walls near the Tantais Yumeu, the allied troops suffering sevoiely from luck of heavy guns aud cavalry. Tbe Japanese commander sent an urgent appeal to hurry reinforcements as tbe allies were in imminent danger of a general defeat." Loudon, Jnly 13.���The Ohinese situation again bears a most ominons aspect. Eighteen days ago Sir Knbert Hare dispatched his last message, declaring thut the hi t nation was desperate, and since then no word has come from the Europeans in Pekin. According to the Daily Mail's Shanghai oorreipon .ent, Li Hung Chang has received an imperial.lecroeordering bis immediate departure for Pekin, presumably to break the newsot the Pekin tragedy to the European role, and, iu bis usual role of negotiator with Europe in difficult matters, to endeavor to act as mediator and to avert the veugeauoe of the powers. To add to tbe grimness of this suggestion, all advices from Tien Tsin tend to confirm the reports of the perilous oondition of the allied forces*! aud the optimist Ohinese rumors Unless reinforcements speedily reach Tien T>in another disaster may be expected. The Daily Mail's lien Tsin correspondent, telegraphing Jnly 6, says: "Tbe situation ti about ae bad as it oan well be. I only trust that we shall not soon want relieving ourselves. A forward movement is impossible. From thirty thousand to forty thousand troops are wanted, and there a:e only about 10,00) h.re.

"Oh," she cried joyously as she sprang to nty arma, "I'm to go too? But what Is tbe caa?, dear?" she asked. "Soo uud re 1 who has been defrauding quiet country clergymen and maiden ladles; getting them to Invest In a bogus bank and ruining them. He has had a loug iunlnga, aud I am put on to bowl him out." "Aud you will," said my wife proudly. She bustled away, and I had my think .before we started with a fair amount of luggage, and wheu I tipped the guard of the uight mall lie smiled, nodded confidentially and whispered as he locked the door of the compartment: "Not many passengers tonight, sir. You.und your good lady can have tbe compartment to yourselves," I hnd wired on to Wenton, so that there was some one up at the hotel when we reached the Bleepy little town at 4 In thu morning. Here we had a rest, rose again at 10, breakfasted, and at midday we were well In tlie middle of the lake district, for my Instructions were that the scheming geiitlemun I was to entrap was strougly suspected of having gone tbere. "Looking for the needle in the proverbial Ulo of hay, Olty," I said, "but cbunce helps ono sometimes, and if we don't cntch bim"��� "Oh, look at that lovely lake, dear," she cried, pointing out ot tbe coffee room window at the glancing water and the steep blue fells beyond, "You will have to work, of course. But Isn't It ulcer to work lu a beautiful place liko this?" "Better and better, Mrs. Honeymoon," 1 whispered. "Excellent Ob, this Is perfect," I said, for she looked confused and blushed. "Talk about acting!" "I am not acting, dear. It's quite natural, and do, pray, go on with your lunch; that dark geutleman and bis wife are watching us." "How do you know It Is his wife?" 1 said, without turning my head, for 1 had noted the occupants of tbe room at each table aa we entered. "Because she is not dark, as hc Is, and sho bos on quite a thick uow wedding ring." "Good girl," I said. "You are growing wonderfully observant." "Oh, nonsense! But are we going to stay at hotels all the time we arc down here?" "Most likely," I said, and I weut on With my lunch and my thinkings 'In- whilo, for tltere wus uo one iu the hotel, as far na I could eee, at nil answering the description or the mun I wanted, and there was no one who could by any possibility be made up or disguised. We bad a row on the bike that afternoon, had 5 o'clock ten nt unnther hotel, returned to our own dinner, uud In the evening I only just looked In nt the billiard room Wfore having one cigar in the smoking room, where our dark neighbor was taking au after dinner nap. We spent the nest day thew, for I felt that 1 could uo no more thnn dawdle about the district, trusting greatly to chance. Aud it would have been very pleasant If wc had hnd nothing to do and no anxious thoughts. But ot these I had plenty. Then we took our Bents by the coach and Imd a couple of dnys nt High Water and two more ut (llassinere, besides indulging tn excursions. Still no luck. Several people we luul met nt our first hotel were doing precisely the same ub we were, so thnt we mnde acqiimintunees after the British Ice Imd thawed a little, the elder tourists 1 rent iug us benevolently, tbe younger being disposed to smile, for Oily wns thoroughly enjoying her trip, and her manners were���well, no matter. Let It sutllcc that tbey were perfectly nnturn), and people were particularly nice to her. Bnt every one was not nice, and It was my wife who opened my eyes to tbe fact. It was nt Whurfmere, where 1 bnd some thought of being on the right scent at last, au invalid staying in - the hotel who put me on the qui vivo at once, for he was so like my mnn would be If be had closely shaved and hnd his hair cropped very short. He was In the coffee room at dinner, and I was feeling so comfortably convinced that I was "getting wanner" tbnt 1 had ordered a pint of champagne to clear my head when some one arrived Lite, and my wife bent over her plate as the new arrivals were shown to a table -at tbe otber end of ths room, "Those nasty people again, dear," she snld. "I did hope we had left them behind for good." "Tbat nigger?" 1 said coolly. "Yes, I was right I thought be was following ns about." "You noticed It, dear?" "Yes; dark moth fluttering about tbe candle, and his wife doesn't like It" "Ohl You see everything, denr." "Wish I could," I replied. "But I believe���don't make any sign���my man's In the room." "Oh!" she whispered. "Yes, I'm sure of It" "And shall you take him tonight?" "No; I'll leave it till morning. Have you any Ice, .waiter?" 1 said aloud, and soon after I was sipping my wine softly and feeling very much at case, but only to be dampened when my man rose from table and left the room. "What's the matter, dear?" said my wife, wbo could always read my Impas sive -countenance���ns I thought ft "No go." I snld. "I'm all wrong. That ts not my man." " I wns so distrusted that we left the Whnrfmere hotel next day and were driven to Kite's Head, but still no luck, and 1 felt so hopeless that the next day we went to our rery -comfortable quarters at Lake's Head, by tbe falls. Here visitors were more plentiful, and my hopes rose again, fell again and by the second evening were stationary. Just before dinner, as I expected,'our West Indian friend and bis lady arrived, and my wife looked daggers. "Ob, that man!" sbe said. "He Is following us about shamefully. What shall we do?" "Nothing," I said. "Ut him follow." "But his wife seems to hate me, dear, aud it makes it so unpleasant" "Let tbe Idiot hate her husband. It would be more sensible." That evening, for the flrst time, our dark friend offered me a cigar In the smoking room, "Oue of my own," he said; "from my estate In Cuba." "Indeed!" I said. And I smoked and prnlsed tt. "You find It too strong?" he said. "Oh, not I think It exquisite." Ho smiled, showed his teeth and lay back In his chair, to begin trimming bis nails, chatting to me the while about bis estate and the beauty of Havana till bedtime, trying hard to ingratiate himself and saying bow charmed he was tn meet us again. When I went to bed that night, it seemed to mc that I had smoked a cigar which did me good, and the next mom* ing at breakfast I noted tbat my new friend came down, accordiug to his cus1 torn, about ten minutes later than bU wife. I had observed it before. After breakfast I lit a cigarette, strolled out of tbe hotel and Into the chemist's shop In the blgb street, where I refilled my cigar and cigarette cases and made another purchase or two. That night after dinner I went up to our bedroom while my wife was in the drawing room and then Investigated tbe luggage of two people in their bedrooms before descending, unseen by tbe chambermaids, to have another of my new friend's cigars, laughing to myself the while to find how eager he was to be friendly with cigars and brandies and sodas, Tbat ntght when we retired Oily begged me to go nway from the hotel next day, and 1 promised her I would If matters turned out as I hoped. I hardly slept a wink for thinking of my task, though 1 believe I looked as usual when we went down to breakfast. But my wife did not, for her eyes looked red, and she complained of a headache. "You will go somewhere else today, dear?" she said. "Walt and see," I replied shortly. We went down, my dark friend's companion beiug already tu her place, nnd she bowed stlttly us we took our scats. Tben I noticed thnt my wife hardly touched her breakfast, while I hastily swallowed a cup of tea and n bit nf dry toast, till I saw our geutlemnn friend enter and bow to us before taking his place opposite his Indy, who looked at him sharply and leaned forward aud snld something to him which mude him half rise. But he sunk down again aud bent over bis plate. My heart began to bent heavily and then very slowly nnd regularly. "Oily,"' 1 said iu the most matter of fact way, "my man's iu the room now." "So you suld before," she replied pettishly. "Yes; but this time I'm right. Now, look here. I'm going to take him wben be rises from breakfast. You will see that his wife does uot go up to her room." "I?" "Yes, and It she resists call the waiters to your help." All fell out as I expected. Our dark friend was seized with uose bleeding directly after, clapped his handkerchief to bis face and rose, his wife following. But ee they reached the door 1 followed and proffered my help. "Oh, tt Is nothing," he said hastily. "This wretched climate." "Don't apologize, James Simpson," I said. He started violently, and his hand went toward his pocket, but I pluued him tn on instant "No foolery!" I cried. "I am armed." Aud I thrust bim back Into a chair just as I felt hands on my shoulders for a moment ere tbey were snatched nway. "What does this mean?" "A warrant for your arrest. You're my prisoner, uad the game's up." "Help!" he cried. "Tbis man Is mod!" "No; you are," I said as 1 clapped ou the handcuffs, "mad to trust to that stain. Tbe acid I put In -four wash huml Jug last night has pretty well takeu It all off. Look bere, sir; a dark gentleman such as you assumed to be always bas bluish nails to show bis black blood.

AN OPEN~LETTER TO ALL SUFFERERS FROM AN/EMU ANI> KINDRED TROUBLES. Mr. Wm, Wilson, nf Hum in, Tells Hi.w lie Regained Health Alter nn Illness of Over Twii Years. M*. "William "Wilson, who is well known to the citizen, ol Barilla, Ont, writes: "It affords me muoh plea,ore to be able to asjd my testimony to tbe great benoflt that I have derived from yonr famous Dr. H illiams' Pink Fills. It la now a little more than two years since I booamo uillscted with anaemia. Daring that time I hare received almost continuous treatment from medioal men of the highest nsnk in their profession, yet apparently deriving no benefit. Indeed I continued to grow wor-e nntil I became nimble to walk. I oame to tho couolaslon tbat I wa, deriving no benefit from the treatment and deoided to give it np. It then waa the qnestion, what shall I try ? Having read tbe testimony of so many who bad Buffered In a similar manner and wbo had received great beneflt from yonr Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I deoided to give them a fair trial. It is now abont three months since I commenced to take yonr pilla and today I teel almost completely restored. Two weeks after I began to take tbe pilla I felt a decided improvement, Three months ago when I began tot.keyonr pills my flesh looked like wax, and my faoe, feel and legs were badly swollen. These conditions have all disappeared and today my oolor ia natural aid my blood vessels fnll of good rioh blood. II will afford me pleasure to recommend Dr. William.'

Aocoiding to a speoial Ohe Foo dispatch the fighting around Tien Tsin ou the 8rd and 4th instants was the severest yet experienced. The British losses alono wore SO killed or wounded. The Ohinese had 75,000 men attacking simultaneously from the west, north and east aud made excellent praotice with over 100 guns. The defenders numbered 14,000 witb soant supplies, and it waa only the presence of the newly arrived Japanese and Russian guns that-prevented a disaster. One Kuislan oompany of infantry numbering 190 men had 1 IS killed and wonnded The German contingent also suffered heavily. By the evening of the 4th the situation waa very critical. The allies narrowly escaped total defeat. Providentially, when things mere at their worst, a torrential rainfall com* pelted the Obineae to retire. On July 6, Ihe min having abated, the Ohinese renewed the attack, opening fire on Tien Tsin with two batteries of four-Inch guns, but tbe allies, aided by two of H. M. S. Terrlble's 4.7 inob guns, succeeded in silencing the Ohinese artillery alter eight honr.' of fighting. Tien Tain, July 5.���Tbe Ohinese shelled tbe foreign settlements all day long Jnly 8.

If hy the nee ot n bit of slang you cuu express in one word whnt tt would otherwise require ten words of plnln English to sny, why, then, wiy I, hy nil menus use tlie slang, for It saves time, nnd. with the exception of the favored few whose whole purpose in living Is to kill time, wc nre nil bent ou saving all the time we enn. The only slang I ob* jeel to Is the slung thnt rcpluces one word hy another precisely ns long nnd not n whit easier to sny. My objections hnve nlrendy heen made privately to a woman who went shopping with me that hot day we had during the week. I forget whleh duy it was. She Is tu'w to the town, so I had to show her nhout tlie shops. I wore my feet to tlie hone that day. She dragged me from the ribhon counter to the bargain counter, from tho nrt needlework department hack ngnln to the place where they sell pins and dreds bnild ami iron wnxers nnd patent curl papers. When I thought thnt one mere mortal could endure no more, she said to me: "Now. Just one thing more. I must hnve a plain lid." 1 led the wny to tho house furnishing department, nnd 1 personally explained ber desire to the salesman. "This Indy wants to sec some plnln lids," I explained. The Indy was some distance behind tne, but sho arrived beside me Jnst na the salesman said suavely: "Lids, madam. What kind, plense?" Tlie Indy turned as red as the poppy flower. "Well, of all the gumps," she said to me with the brutal frankness of an old nnd tried friend. "You cortnlnly nre dense. 1 don't wnnt hnrdwnre. I want a hnt." Now, by the shade of everything Bhndowy, whnt conceivable sense is there In cnlllng a hot a lid? However, I revenged myself. I persuaded her to buy a hnt that adds ten years to her age nnd n whole con to her complexion. -Washington Post. The Idol's Eye, Wang, and the Fencing Master, by the lloston Lyrics.

Every minute a wave would dash over the deck aud threaten to carry everything away nnd swamp the boat Qummlngs aud Jarrold were in thu littlo cabin, the former lying In a bunk Intently reading a book ou the French revolution. Jarrold poked bis head out to look at the storm, when a mountain of sea water fell with a boom on tho deck and filled his eyes with spray. Tbe boat gave a fearful lurch and careened uutll It seemed that sbe must turn completely over. "This is awful, Amos," said Jarrold. "I'm going to put ou a life preserver, for I don't think the boat can stuud It many minutes longer." "Oh, keep quiet, and let me read, Mickey," said Cummlugs, never lifting his eyes from tbe pnge.

The Midsummer Fair issue of The NorMVeat Farmer just received ia a very creditable and attractive numler of 100 pages, with a specially ei-uraved cover, lithographed iu six colors, the work of the Stovel Co., Winnipeg. It contains many well-written articles, profusely illustrated, of great value to all engaged in developing the various resources of Manitoba and the Territories. Tbo publishers are to be congratulated on their enterprise in producing this special number, which Is by far tho finest work, both in conception and execution, yet issued from tho press io Western Canada, for it is all home production, the printing, engraving and lithographing departments each contributing to bring about this result. The most interesting event to Canadians io the present war between Briton and Boer was the battle of Paardeberg, the seen.) of Cronje surrender, for it wus there the Canadian contingent received its first baptism of blood. The bravery of our ho.vs at tbat time wns thu principal cause of the surrender of ihe wily lem-rnl. His army could net withstand the leckless charges and magnificent lighting of the men frotn Canada. This famous battle, in nil its realism, will be produced at the Winnipeg ex hi hit ion* One thousand men iu the righting uniforms of tho British and tho Boers will participate in this imprtrssive drama. The sconce wilt he faithfully reproduced In every detail aud will be a truly awe-insp'riug spectacle. A man who was too economical to take this paper sent his little hoy to borrow the copy taken by his neighbor. In his haste the boy ran over a $4 stand of bees, and in ten minutes ho looked like a warty summer squash. His cries reached his father, who ran to his assistance, and. failing to notice a barb wire fence, ran into that, break' ing it down, cutting a handful of flesh from his anatomy and ruining a $7 T��=ir of pants. The old cow took nd- T intage uf the gap in tbe fence and got Into the cornfield aud kilted herself eating green corn. Hearing the racket, the wife ran, upset a four-gallon churn full of lich cream into a basket of kittens, drowning the wbole flock, In her hurry she dropped a $40 set of false teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled through the spilled cream Into the parlor, ruining a brand new $30 oarpet. During the excitement the eldest daughter ran away with tbe hired man, tbe dog broke up eleven setting hens, and the calves got oat ��id chewed tbe tails off four fine shirts. SOCIAL AND PERSONAL. J.

This startling headline to an article appeared in last Saturdays issue of the Spokane Chronicle and was the subject of liscussion among many of Bellairs' old acquaintances in this city. Since be left Rossland nearly a year ago K. C. B. has tasted muoh of tho bitterness of life in the City or the Falls. His long stay in the Medical Lake Insane Asylum, from which he was recently discharged as cored, and into whioh haven of unsound miud many think he should never have been committed, has been telling on him greatly. Since his release he hus been endeavoring to raise funds for tho purpose of publishing a book entitled: 'The Most Infamous Fraud Ever Perpetrated hy the Brain of Man, the Lunacy Asylums of America," the proceeds to be used in instituting agaiust the State a damage suit to the tune of ��5,000,000. But the ono-time prince of the London stoek brokers, editor of tho London Bulletin and honorary member of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange has failed to raise the pittance necessary to carry out his project. ��� Kenneth ffariugtou Bellairs is in want. He is doing nothing to earn a livelihood in Spokane. The little belongings of value which he had at one time, he fell out of the window, resulting in his being declared of unsmind mind and sent to the insane asylum, have been nil sold at a sacri6ce. and judging from the following note which he left at the Chronicle office he is in bad straits: ��� Please print. Having had all my cash stolen fnm me and my poods, by the officials of this state ov otders, and having sold all I could find at five per i.ent. of cost to me, I am now living (literally) on dry bread, and my next course is said." Is this, then, to be tho end of the one time brilliimt financier and journalist, that made London start le thirty yours ago with his manipulations of rho stock marker., and in a pamphlet that cost the writer thousands of pounds to produce, proving that the Iii bie contained many disciepaucies? ��� Rossland Miner.
