Tom Galon, of Nelson,won tho boys' coasting race. Rossland's trouble in regard to election day coming today has been settled. The Miner of that oity says: Iu order to do away with any complications tomorrow, when the election for Alderman in the Third Ward had been set, all of the tour candidates for that offico resigned in a body. As a consequence uo election need bo held on that day, aud there will be no difficulty ubout closing the saloons over the oity during (he carnival. Tho City Council at its meeting next Tuesday night will probably ro- open tho matter by setting a new day for the receipt of nominations, aud a time for holding the election if uo candidate be elected by acclamation at tho time of the nominations. TROUBLESOME REG ULATIONS. U. S. Treasury Department is Very Strict About Personal Baggage. New York, Jan. 26.���It wns announced yestorday that tho new treasury regulation regarding personal bag gage would go into effect on February 1. Heretofore wheu persons returned from abroad have brought with them less than $100 worth of personal baggage that had been purchased abroad it has been customary for tliey not to declare it at all.

MORE ABOUT IT STATESMEN STILL TALKING OF ANGLO-AUiKIOAN FEELING. Sir Matthew White-Hidley Says it is Better Than a Formal Alliance. London, Jan. 20. ���Sir Matthew White-Ridley, Secretary of Stato for the Home Department, was the principal spoakor this ovening at a great Unionist demonstration at Blackpool. Referring to the historical events of the past year and particularly to the Hispano-American war, the Home Secretary said that while tho absoluie neutrality of Greut Britain*"had" nt. been properly appreciated by one of the contestants, tho English people had been gratified at the good feeling which hud arisen between the United Slates and Great Britain. The results of the war had been to make the United States an important factor, not only in Asiatic but possibly also in European politics and to bring America face to face with some nf the problems and difficulties, which Great Britain had long experienced. "This," ho continued "is a serious event for the great powers of the world, but it is not likely to bo disadvantageous to the British Empire. which gladly acknowledges the kindly svmpathy and the sense of common objects uow animating alike tho ci ti zens of Great. Biitian and the United States aud which feel that the contiu nance of tho growth of this feeling must be the peace and prosperity of the world. The growth of.siieh u feeling is far bettor than lhe formal alliance suggested by somo." GIVE UP THE SKA UGH. Victims of the Paul Jones Oaunot 1 e Found. New Orleans, La., Jan. 2(i.���L.

AN EDITOR DEAD. m mm WILL SOON CilNBl THAT BOTHERS TEEI Action on the Peace Treaty Will Not be Delayed THE DEFEATED LEADERS Generals and Admirals Will be Tried by Court Martial for Lotting Anieii- oans Beat Them. Madrid, Jau. 2C ��� The Cabinet met this afternoon under the presidency of the Queen Regent. The absence of Generul Corea, tbe Minister of War, was much commented upon and is be- liered to have been connected with a Qeoision, not yet divulged, reached by the supreme military tribunal relative to General Jaudenez, the Spanish commander, who capitulated at Man ila. and who has been iu prison since yesterday, and General Torrnl who capitulated at Sauitago de Cuba aud who is absent from Madrid. The Premier. Senor Sagasta, outlined the Government's intentions relative to the peace treaty Ho said that information received by the Minister of Foreign Affairs had created the impression that President McKin- ley feared the treaty would be defeated in tbe Senate and apprehended au obstinate resistance upon the part of the Philippine insurgents against, the Americans who desire to deprive them of independence and debase the Spanish Government which nre sufficient ri asons for the triumph of tho auti- Annexationists iu the Senate. Therefore, the Premier insisted that the convention of the Cortes should no longer be delayed. The cabinet met again this evening Senor Sagasta presiding. It appears that the evidence before tho court martial showed that General Jtudcno-/, had sufficient ammunition and food to have enabled him to resist longer. The court ordered his arrest whereupon he surrendered himself attired in civilian dress and accompanied by his sou and several members of state. General Correa confirmed the arrest. It is reported that the court, martial will exonerate General Toral ou the ground that he acted under superior instructions, but that Admiral Montojo. who was defeated by Admiral Dewoy at Cuvite, will be tried for the incompetent condition of his fleet. Tho newspapers assert also ihat Admiral Cervera is awaiting his trial and after that he will not bo able io lake his seat as a Senator on the re-assembling of the Cortes. It is understood that at the cabinet meeting this evening SenorCasodopou, Minister of tho Interior, proposed that tho suspension of the constitutional guarantee should now increase. THE RUSSIAN WAY.

To What is Duo tlie Present Situation in the Philippines Washington, Jan. 20. ���Tho third day Of the debate upon the bill for the reorganization of the regular army passed without notable incidents. Its feature was an hour's spooch by Mr. QroSvenor, of Ohio, whose utterances rightly or wrongly, are frequently supposed to reflect the views of the Piesident. Mr. Grosvenor declarod most emphatically that the present sit- nation of the Philippines was dun to the open opposition in this country to the ratification of the Peace Treaty. He announced that the future of the islands was a matter for Congress to decido and for the President to an- no .nice, a policy which would be for him to usurp the authority of oongress. The Joint High Commission Dealing With it. CHANCES OF REDUCTION It is Not Thought Probable That Luty Will be Cut in Two. the Washington, Jan. 20.���Tbe High Joint Commission held a session toduv and adjourned until Tuesday. The subcommittee on reciprocity and the Behring Sea held sessions. Attention to the lumber feature of the Anglo- American uegotiatious has beeu renewed by the preseuce here of a number of Michigan lumbermen and public men interested in that industry. It has led to talk of a compromise ou a $1 lumber rate and the Canadian lumbermen anl officials have beeu hopeful that somo suoh compromise would bo effeoted. As a preliminary to this, efforts have been made to bring thu lumbermen ot Minnesota, Wisconsin, aud other states to a common understanding ou the compromise. These efforts have been unavailing thus far aud an official conversant with tho negotiations, statod today that ho did not think any compromise was possible. Without it, he said, the lumber controversy was practically eliminated from the Anglo-Americans negotiations. The delegation of tho Michigan lumbermen who came to Washington last night to suggest to the .A.n;i!o-Aniorioan Commission that a duty of $1 a thousand on Canadian timber be agreed upon as a compromise in the matter of reciprocity will hardly succeed in their mission. Representative Tawuey, of Minnesota, who was associated with the late Representative Dingley in the consideration of the lumber question, both in the committee on ways and menus and in the commission said this even ing that no compromise of that smt would be made. These gentlemen, he said, are owners of pine stumpago in Canada, now owning uothing iu that line in the United States. They want to bring their lumber into tho United iitates free or at a reduced duty and made their fight to this end before tho committee ou ways and means nnd were defeated. Thoy have exhausted the timber lands owued by them under a tariff of $2 and now they want to Op permitted to turn around and abandon that tariff for their own bonolit. Their assertion that if the Canadian logs are not allowed to come in froo or at the reduced rate, 27 mills on the eastern coast of Michigan must be closed has been shown to be falso. Some of them doubtless will be closed but not all, or nearly all. "My belief is," continued Mr. Tuwney, "that tho Canadians are weakening on (ho proposition to include timber in there reciprocity scheme. Mr. Dingley had thom whipped in that matter." Mr. Tawuey continued the report that the timber question is the only one remaining to bo settled by fbe commission and that when an agree inunt, or an agreement to disagree is reached, thorn work will practically be at an end. A delogntion of Michigan lumbermen, headed by ox-Governor Richard A. Lovel, of Saginaw, Thus. Pitts, of Ray Oily and Chas. Mould of Cheboygan, have arrive I here to protest to the President against the proposed iip- p liniment of Representative Tawuey to the vacancy on the Canadian Joint High Commission oansed by the death of Representative Dingley. Mr Tawnoy is well known as an fldvooo ��� of the |S duty on lumber, while Iho delogntion favors not more than $1 and they fear Mr. Tnwiiey's appointment would insure the retention of tho higher rate in the reciprocity negotiations with Canada, TO BEAT THE LAW. A Montreal Lawyer .on the Side of the Aliens. Victoria, Jan. 24.���There is amplo Opportunity, according to Frank Weir, a Montreal lawyor now interested in Atlin, for alions who already possess certificates to gel hold of all the claims thoy want in Atlin under section four of the act. Hy this section certificates held on .January lb are valid with ro- gard to olainis 'recorded' prior to that date. Therefore, any of the many people in Seattle who had certificates and bought and recorded claims prii r to Jannarv 18, can uot be prevented from working them, for there is nothing in the law to prevent recording a mere transfer. At, tbe same time, too, j by dating transfer back to some time prior to January 18, aliens now holding certificates can evade the law, for the only persons who could break this contract would be buyer or seller, and there is no way of finding out otherwise This pr ictically means that aliens could, if the present owners wished to sell, get hold of every claim in \\tlin located before January 18 by being a liltl" n- s. .J.

Reading, Pa., Jan. 26.���Herman Kretz, former superintendent of the United States mint iu Philadelphia has been called npou to explain tbe finding of a bag filled with nails, screws and pieces of lead in the silver vaults at the mint at Philadelphia. The bag wns of tbe precise weight of :0I1 silver dollars, the amount of silver coin which the weighers at the mint supposed is to contain. The fact that it contained sawdust, lead to its close examination and the discovery that the original contents had been removed. DISEASE RAMPANT TERRIBLE SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC IN ARKANSAS- Hundred* of Oases and Many Death?, aud no Effoit Made to Stop it- Little Rock, Jau. 2(3.���Dr. N. C. Dunavaut, president of tho state board of health, speaking of the smallpox situation tells of a terrible state of affairs at Salem, Fultou County. Dr. Dunavaut yesterday returned from that place whore he made a thorough investigation. Ho says that there have It'h : '."ost 400 pas��s of smallpox iu the locality within tbe last two months aud that a number of deaths have ocenrrod. Ho found people walking about the streets of tho town broken out with the disease, pock marked and pitted and others falling ill every day. The local physicians contend that the disease was not smallpox and little effort had been made to check its ravages. As a result the disease has become scattered along the lino of ihe Memphis and Fort Scott and Cotton belt railways and many neighboring towns are uow infected. The disenso was first brought to Fultou country about two months go by returned soldiers. SITUATION SERIOUS. There is no Improvement in tlie Colon aud Panama Strikes. Colon, Colombia.

Oarlaud, was stricken with apoplexy whilo addressing the United States Supremo Court at 12 :25 o'clock this afternoon and died within ten minutes. The blow came unexpectedly, changing the usual calm and dignity of the court into temporary confusion when tho dying man was carried from the chnni- iier in a futile effort to alleviate his condition. Mr. Garland had just re-j slimed an argument iu a case which had begun yesterday. He had read | from a law volume and had Followed with the sentence: "This, your honors, is our contention," whu.i the fu- tal stroke came. RESIGNED WEDNESDAY A Government Vouoher Accepted al Hume Hotel for Board of a Government 0ffiei.il the Victoria, Jau. 20.���Hon. J. Fnd Hume, Provincial Secretary, is tLe latest member of the Proviuoial Legislature to resign his seat. Just before tbe rising of the Legislature today the Speaker announced that he had received tbe resignation, tendered, it wis said, because Mr. Hume had become disqualified by a sale from In., store to a Government official. The resignation was banded iu ou Wednesday. Mr. Hume will retain his pjrtfolio for a time at least. The announcement of Mr. Hume's resignation will not oome wholly as a surprise to the electors of Nelson. It has been understood fur several days chat be was disqualified, but not because of a sale made from a store to a Government ofUoial. The disqualification is said to arise from the fact thai a Government voucher was nccepie.". tor board at tho Hume hotel from a Government official. Whatever the cause mav be, however, the fact re- minus that Mr. Hume has resigned and that within the next 80 days, probably, tho electors of the Nrlsi n Riding of Wei Ki..:tenay will be. culled upon to chose his successor. The Miner was informed last niglil. upon what appears to be good author itv, that Mr. Hume would not be a candidate for re-eloction; that he had determined to go into business in tho Atliu district and that he had, iu fact, already made preparations for removal. From another source, how ��� ever, it was learned that Mr. Hume would certainly be a candidate. There are two stories aud readers may take ho:r choice. WAS A FAILURE Hat Portage Boy Doesn't Show Up Well at Poughkeepsie. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Jnn. 20.���The throe events ou the opeuing days programme of tbe National Championship Skating races brought out some fine sport although a soft track prevented very fast time being made. Wm. H. Robinson, manager of the races, says that tbe National Skating Association has uever got togetlisr a finer lot of amateur s than are enteren in these races aud certainly every raie this afteriinon was an interesting contest.

McCulloch has a pupil in the person of Bollefenill, of Rat Portage, of whom considerable was expoted, but ho failed to do better thau qualify tn the live hundred metre race. Tho feature of this race was a snappy contest between Thomas, of Newburg, and McPartland of the New- York Athleie Club, for first place, which was won by Thomas by only three feet.

NOBILITY IN TROUBLE. United States Will Advance $11,000,000 to Pay Cuban Soldiers. Havana, Jau. 20.���A rumor has beeu in circulation during the last few days that tlie United States will lend |8,000,000, to be applied in part payment of arrears of pay claimed by the Cuban soldiers. It has provoked some strong criticism, tho argument being that if the customs were in the bauds nf iho Cubans the first thing done would be to pay the Cuban soldiers in full and that therefore, tbe United S(a(es. holding ample customs receipts as a security could aud should advance more thau $8,000,000.

A private member of tbe Provincial Legislature, Mr. Macpbersou, lias introduced a Bill to exclude laborers who are employed under contract made out of the Province. The Victoria Unionist says that " undoubtedly there is a good deal to bo said in favor of the idea. " There is absolutely nothing that can be said in favor of it. It is narrow; it is vicious in its tei> deney portion Parliament is required to arrange for it accordingly. It thus comes about that Parliament is notes- pecfod to alter boundaries, or in any way to disturb the arrangement of constituencies, excepting after each decennial oeusus.

Empite, W. H. Fitchet. Chief among the papers that aro egging tbe Senate to tako a different view Whittaker's Almanac 1899. of the matter is The Montreal Star, and it is doing the Seuate a veiy poor ��� service. 1 Whether there will be a redistribution Bill this coming session is an- j other question. There is no excuse for it. unless the Government shall liniiii- unless the Government shall tain that they have the right to undo the wrong of the great gerrymander of 1882. But that was so long ago that the present boundaries may be said to have become established, and tbe fact that they carried the country in 184)6 it is contrary to public policy, ; ahowg t,mt th ha��� overcome the Office and Pocket Diaries, 1899. and it is unconstitutional. The Miner has uot before referred to it for the reason that, being private legislation, it never for a moment conceived it nos- sible that the Government would permit it to "0 through. It bas passed its second reading, however; aud in tbe old days, wheu Parliamentary procedure and practice were understood to mean something, a second reading was taken to signify that the House was committed to tbe principle of the measure. It may not be so in this case ; it is pretty bard, indeed, to tell what is so and is not so in a Legislature that openly parades its superiority to precedent. But if there is the least danger that the Bill will pass, those responsible for the legislation of the session should be warned that they aro permitting u most unwise thing. The Legislature bus granted railway charters right aud left; it is still distributing them with profuse band. Scarcely a section of the Province but is looking for its railway, and it is generally understood that in addition to the work already under construction tho season of 18111) will see several hundred miles of new railway in process of being built. Nelson is especially interested in the extension of tie Crow's Nest road from Kootenay Landing to this city work on which is expected to begin in tho course of a few weeks. If this Bill should become law. railway construction oveiy- where throughout the Province would be paralysed. Not a contractor would be permitted to go outside tlie Province to employ men, or to come into the Province with men already employed, Thu Crow's Nest: extension would have to depend on the few hundreds who could be picked up bore, when as it will require many thousands if tl e road is to be completod within tie lime allowod by the Government, Other railways, owing to the same disability, would require many years lor their completion, while the people on all sides are crying for their immediate oonsttuotion, All because the British Columbia Legislature passed a law against admitting railway laborers from Manitoba, Ontario, or Quebec, That is thn impolicy of it. Pages might be written on the pernicious churacter of it, but it will bo sufficient to point in a word to the exlraordiuaiy spectacle of one Canadian Province legislating against other Canadian Provinces. The demagogues of the House may pass the Bill, but the Gov- crnnr-deneriil-in-Ooniicil would never Ihink of allowing il to go into effect. It would have to be disallowed, and thai very promptly, disadvantage. A redistribution now would mean that thov desire to returu ovtl for evil, and that for the "hiving of the Grits" of long ago they are prepared uow to "hive tho Tories." A measure of the kind would doubtless prove most embarrassing to tbe Senate, which did not balk at the first gerrymander ; but it would be more and worse than this, for it would be in violation of a Liberal principle, that the boundaries of constituencies should not be made the playthings of a partisan majority. Liberals have contended that the business of redistribution should be taken out of the bauds of Parliament and entrusted to a Commission of Judges. That is what ought to be done, and if consistent that will be the measure submitted next session, should there be one nt all, CANADA DRUG k BOOK CO.

They are poor friends of tlie Keuaie who, by arguing that a redistribution of constituencies at this time would be unconstitutional, encourage it to throw out any measure of that kind Ihiil Ihe Commons may pass next session. For there is very grave doiil " whether a redistribution would L8 iiliconslilutoniil; rather, there would seem to be little doubt flint Parliament has the powei at any time to arrange and re-arrange (Im constituencies at. will. Wlial il has not. tlie power to do, excepting after (inch decennial census, is to alter the representation; and it has lhe power lo do that only when tin census shows Hull a Province is entitled lo a greater proportion, or that, another bus fallen behind and is entitled to less. Bul to say that Parliament may not at any time alter the boundaries of a constituency is to claim mine thau tbe constitution would seem In warrant, ami if Ihe Senate should permit itself lo In led into a contrary belief it, may drift of ils own iireord into an attitude which tho oo in try will find it Impossible to endorse, vtinii Is Rhodes After ?

Later, when Uganda became vital to us because if. was on the high road to Cairo from the Cape, Mr. Gladstone was hostile to onr acquiring that territory. Rosebery threatened to leave the Cabinet unless Mr. Gladstone changed his views on this subject. Mr. Gladstone preferred not to lose Lord Rosebery again.

After the meet ing those present repaired to the Sunday school room where tlie Indies served refreshments nml brought lhe evening to a eloso is a very pleasant manner, BOUNDARY I KEEK GRIEVANCE. The Congregation is in a Splendid Ool- dition���Manag-vs El otei and Reports Bead. Hereafter the Presbyterian church in Nolson will be culled Bt, Paul's. This was decided upon at the annual meeting of the congregation held iu the ohuroh last evening. Officers for the ensuing year wero also elected and reports on the worV of DSilK read. There was a representative attendance. Rev. Mr. Frew the pastor, presided. A short service proceeded the meetings, which being called to order, elected Mr. A. Stewart its secretary. Dr. Arthur, secretary-treasurer of the Board of Managers, first read his report. It showed that financially, the church was in the best condition and the figures produced reflected great credit on the loyalty of the members to the church. Through the various sources of revenue the total inccme of the church last year was $5,324 which is au exoellent showiug for the congregation. The year was commeuced with cash on hand $57. The collections during the year amounted to $1842, $1000.50 was collected on account of the building fund and sundry receipts amounted to $75. The ordinary revenue of the church was therefore $8,975 aud against this ���were paid out, on account of building fund, $1,984.48, stipend, $1100 anil contingent expenses, $449.00 making a total of $8,4H4.03. At the end of 1898 tlie liabilities were $1,439.80 and the assets were, building and furniture $3,800, lotB $1500, cash ou hand,$491.17, totulliug, $5,791.17 aud allowing a surplus of assets over liabilities of $4, - 851.38. To show the great improvement over 1897 the figures of thut year were given, (lie revenue from all sources being $7liK.35 and the expenditure $710. Lust year tho congregation built an addition to the ohuroh which cost more than the original building und now find themselves with a very comfortable and pretty edifice aud in a sound financial condition. Mr. Frew in commenting ou the report, OOngratulated the congregation upon tho splendid showing it had made nnd stated that another encouraging sign was thut, while a largo addition had been made to tho church last year, it was now quite crowded again. Dr. Arthur said that tlie managers would now probably have to consider building still another addition. Tho report was adopted. The meeting then considered various suggestions of the Iiiniid of Managers among them n substantial increase to the stipend of the pastor. Dr. Arthur put the motion which carried unanimously, the congregation deeming it but a fitting tribute to the energy and zeal of Mr. Frew, who, during Idh comparatively short connection with the congregation, has advanced ils interests in every way. Au increase in salary was also granted to tho organist. Mrs. A. I... McCulloch. president of the Ladies Aid Society, rend a concise and well prepared report, on the work of the society for the year jnst closed. Tho society lias done remarkably good work, raising during tho year. $989.90 for ll)e work of the church. The assets of the society are $1,281.40 nml the liabilities $587,114. Cash on hand is $131. The report was adopted with ap platiso, Mr. Frew congratulating Mrs. McCulloch on the showing and Ihe exoellent report. Mr. F. M. ciiailiiourn, superintendent of the Sunday school reported thai $135 bad been collected during the year. The average allondanco wns 71 bul. there has been a constant increase and now tho average is 90. Mr. lining reported on the work of the Young People's sooiety of Christian Endeavor, Messrs. Chus. Wilson, A. L. McCulloch, and Thorburi) Allen were appointed trustees of the property in pluco of Messrs. McOnlluiii nnd Gillies, The question of naming tlie cliuicli then name up and St. Andrews, Bt. Paul's, Knox, Trinity and Nelson Presbyterian Church, were suggested. A ballot wus taken and Knox lind u plurality of votes but not u majority, Another ballot resulted, tit. Paul's, 33; Knox, 91, St. Paul's wits thin adopted unanimously, Mr. Frew rflfld the MlliODI repoi t which reviewi d tlie work of tho year and expressed the pleasure of the elders ut. the satisfactory showing of the congregation. The retiring managers, Messrs. Hamilton and Wilson and Dr. All bur were ro-eleoted, The question of con- The unjust Redistribution Rill ly wh oh Bonui ary (reck District wns made a portion of the Rossland oonstit- U ucy is responsible tor an aniiiiiulo; s ���siate of affairs, whioh works a great hardship to this section of the conn- fry. The Boundary Creek district is supposed to be a portion of the Rossland constituency, but so far as the expenditure of money is concerned it is still under the control of the Government agent at Vernon, We havo not one word to say against Mr. Leonard Norris, the Government agent. He is, l.o.vever, a public servant, and while he is anxious to do justice to Boudary Creek district. Ins hands are tied by the slrougcr influences in Hie vicinity of Vernon, The district lying south of Pentieton will in t receive proper cms deration until it h s representation and officers of its own. tjn- til such representation is grunted, a Government agent for this district ought to be appointed and money up- propriatated to meet the special public >equiruraents of our important mining district. It is unfair to Boundary Creek to ask it to depend on a Government agent residing in a different constituency for its share of appropriations. A still greater hardship would be inflicted on the district by placing it under the control of tho Government agent at Rosslaud. Rossland and Bouudnry Creek are separated by two or three precipitous ranges ot mountains, and it would almost be impossible for a Government agent at Rossland to keep in touch with the requirements of Boundary Creek, even if he were anxious to do so.��� Boundary Creek Times. s Not a Question | S��E aiwwtmfwr ANNABLE I ^����������� ���������������������������������������� ���������������^ As io nun much you paid for your shoes, as it is what did you get for your money ?

City Clerk Straohan has not yet succeeded iu employin a pound keeper and is still worrying about tho dogs whioh run allirge. Dug taxes were dim Jan. 1 and arc payable at the CityClork's office. There is no provision in the ordinance requiring that owners of dogs shall be visiled by a collector and City Clcik Straohan says that those who do not pay their taxes in the very near future will be prosecuted, Work oil the electric light flume is progressing rather slowly. It, has been found that neither Gray's mill or the Salmo mill can ship the lumber as fast, as the city was given to understand it could be Shipped, It, is hardly the fault of the niilis, however, but rather beoause the lumber to be used in the flume must be abi-olutoly without a Haw and many of the logs while apparently sound are found to be defec live after one or'two cuth have been made. It is expected that enough lumber will be on I lie ground by Mondav to enable the carpenters to begin work. Prof. II. Montgomery, of Toronto, was in Nelson yesterday, leaving last night for RosBiund, Prof. Montgomery is mineralogist and coologist of Trinity Universi'v, and is ulso interested In British Columbia properties, He is president of the Minnehaha company, Cainn McKinney, and has recently paid a visit to the company's property.

He visited several of the mines in Boundary Crook and was greaiiy Interested ill tbe Wonderful variety of ores to be found there, He believes thai Boundary Creek is going to be one of tho greatest mining districts in lhe world.

The mine is developed hy three tunnels, the lowest of which, No, il. is about 800 feet. This tunnel is connected with No 3, 100 feet above, hy a winze No 2 tunnel has been driven in about 1100 feet, while about 800 feet of cross cutting has also been dono in connection wilh Ibis tunnel. One hundred and ten feel above this is a blind tunnel, about 700 feet in length, known as the No. 1 level. These two tunnels are connected by a shaft and vertical raise. A shart called tbe No. 1 shaft, has been sunk a distance of 1(10 feet from the surface to ihe upper tunnel, with au adit no feet below the surface This latter formed part of the work done by the prospectors who originally .iwneii the property. A second shaft, known as the Hncklnnd Shaft, has also been sunk on the vein from lhe surface lo the No. 1 level. The Kocklainl shaft is 165 feet deep, und a stalion has been made and a level run at tbe HO foot level. All the tunnels have heen driven in on the vein, ami are in ore prnofionlly their entire length, and no lillie or no dciul work has had lo he done, and there is on the ���!innp about 70(10 Ions of ore taken out iu the course nf development, No sloping whatever has been dune vet. The feature of the mine that most Strikes the visitor in the size of the ore bodies .Ml the workings described above aro on the Ymir vein, hut there are two distinct oreelinlcs. The oilier or main ehnlo, is lenticular in plane and varies from six to 40 feet iu width.

Altogether tho mine Contains over The mine is connected with the new 40-st.imp mill by an aerial tramway 3160 feot in length. A noticable feature of the tramway, which was supplied hy tbe California Wire Works Oompany, is the way in which labor suing devices have been adopted at ill points. Tbe buckets are filled by au automatic loader, and on reaching the mill ore bins they dump and re- c'iosh themselvesy automaticall. Tbe tramway was started up. in your correspondent's presence about 2 o'clock un Monday afternoon, and appeared to ho admirably adapted for the purposes for which it wns built. It was constructed by Mr. Frank Twnmhly On reaching the mill tbe buckets dump their contents into a bin capable of containing 100 tons of ore. When everything is in full swing the gates of (his bin are open and the ore slides- down over a grizzl y, the fine stuff passing through nnd the coarse g i, g into a Gates crusher, actuated by a 24 inch Pelton motor, after which it rejoins the fine in Iho 200 ton bin below. The oro thus crushed to the requisiti degree of fineness falls through the gad of the bin into a car placed below to receive it. When full Ih ��� car is pushed along tbe rails to the big 600 ton bin behind Ihe butteries, into which its contents are emptied. Thus onci the ore is dumped into tbe bin at tin bead of the tranrway, if is brought down to the stamps without further bundling, gravity iloiu; all Ihe work with the exception ef pushing tho cai from the second lo the third and lasi bin of iho mill. Immediately in froiil of Ihe big bin are ran :ed the stamps- four batteries each containing in stamps weighing about '.'"ill pounds apiece. When all is ready the receivers behind the stamps are pushed out. and Ihe stamps are dropped. In drop ping, a rubber collar strikes ,i lever and ihe lever revolves the, feeder at the bottom of the bin ind causes a circular iron plate to make a partial revolution which whisks a oertain amoun of ore .into the mortar at each drop ot be centre one of each live si amps. The s'amiis crush Ihe ore until it is mffloiently fine to pass through a 41 mesh, and then the fine ore, togetbei - nli the, meicury which is previous]', laced in the battery are carried ov. r the plates by a slow stream of waor w here the free gold and the mercury fi rill an amalgam, the balance of the pulp being carried into the classifiers Here the pulp hy reason of its varying sneoifio gravity divides itsolf into (iice grades, the coarse, the line, am' the very fine, tho slimes being cani d away into the slime lank. Three duels C( nvov the three sizes of pulp on tn three vuiinevs, tlie one receiving the coarse pulp, being filled with a corrugated rubber hilt, and lhe other two wilh Smooth ones. There are three six foot vaniieiS to each battery, 12 in all. On ihe vim- ners the concentrates are separated from the refuse and conveyed to tlie eiincciitrate tanks below. On tho lowest floor is a ilo-horso power boiler which serves to heat the mill, and also lhe coils which aro place! in two tuns near tho battery, so dial in coin weather warm waler can be obtained for tho batteries, thus preventing the chalice of a freeze up. All (he machinery is driven bv water power derived from a large flume 420 (eel above Iho six fool Pelton wheel. When your correspondent visited the mill, the machinery was not working, uud though il had been set in motion for a short time a few days earlier no ore was run through. The men are now employed in giving a few finishing touollOri to the building, and lhe mil! should sfirrl up in earnest iu a few days now.

The path ran through a tunnel of foliage, b'-tween which glimpseB of the rivsr p.uallel were every uow and then betrayed by natural vistas, li you happen to know the road to Lonore, before the path to Ashness Bridge forks off, in fact tbe delightful stretch that lies at Bakes' Foot, you will have a scene like to it as two peas are to one another, but for Derwentwater you must, of course, substitute the rapid, shallow, shingling Barragh, The road wan inches deep in dust, and that of tbe whitest, and the boots and stockings of tbe knickered, Norfolk jacketed traveler oould scuroe be distinguished from the dusty way itself, and be looked, bad there been any to see, as though he floated in the air, bereft of foot and ankleB. Now, half way down the road, the traveler, who was young and fairly good looking, though perhaps not endowed with that facial strength of character which is the Uuar delight of authors who are feminine, happened upon a stile spanning the graystone and mossy wall that separated the wood beyond from tbe road. It was a famous stile, somewhat like a pair of steplad- ders, with three rungs by whioh to ascend from the road and two to ascend into the wood on the other side of the wall. Tbe traveler asoended, and peroh- etl upon the happily placed platform at the summit of the stepladder and pondered some, and while he pondered hs mopped his brow and gazed upon his boots besides, giving the lie to those who say that "one oannot do two things at once"���this for one who has refused to close the door at my behest and I in a draft most thorough. Then be struck a match to light a cigarette���I know it ought to have been a pipe, but it was a cigarette���and drawing it along an adjacent poet, saw, for the first time, ��� notice thereon. It said: ANY PERSON FOUND TKEBPA88INO ON TBE BARRY ESTATE WILL B 8 FBBEOCTED. Uy Order, Agent's Office. J. SMITH. A very ordinary notioe, but one which had heen the subject of much merriment a while back, when " 'Any-yon- Juggins" had eliminated the harmless O aud interpolated the direful E forth* aniusoment of his consceurs and confreres. Tho effect it bad upon our traveler was not that which henoeforward, for all I care, may be described as do- faciensis tripperii. He had no desire to drop in "not" between the "will" and tho "bo," neither did he change "person" into "peer," but he did allow his feet, which had been resting on rung two of tho roadsldo ladder, to chauge thoir position to rung one of that of th* Woodside. After tbe first step tho way was easy. So appearod to be the grass path which meandered among the trees in curves most sinuous, a path that looked ���as all forbidden paths look���seductive, and, moreover, by far the most delightful in tho whole dlstriot. Our traveler looked at his watch, at the up and down of tho road, and not a soul was in sight to deter him. H�� slipped to the ground, aud in a brief spac* was in tbe thicket. On and ou pressed he till the blacking was restored to the boot by the dust banishing grass' ageucy. The cigarette, smoked out, was replaced by a second, aud then he came to a halt at the brink of a cunning little tree mirrored, tree surrounded lake, whoso clear waters invited���nuy, almost commanded���immersion, with the thermometer taxed to its utmost heat recording limits. finds were singing, the hikelnt rippled, and with delicious splashing a Watorfallet threw itself in wuntoii abandonment into the embrace of the all absorbing tarn. Delicious spot for bathing, but a spot wasted, impossible. Ou tho further side was ono who gazed at our traveler, th* Intruder, with eyes beautiful and provoked���one nttited in kerchief of lawn, bodice and skirt of print aud in other dainty tilings. "A pretty girl I" said he mentally. "A wretched tourist I" sho roflected. Tho path wus winding, like to �� maze, but surely magelike it led to an .eventual goal? It wuuld do no burm to ask. Tho traveler meandered on and found himself in a spaoe but three or four feet from iny lady of the lake. His cap was off. Said he, "Will you kindly toll me if this path comes out any where near i Imprisoned tor that," she replied with satisfaction. "Surely a flue"��� he began. "Our Bench is landed property," said She, "aud we loathe���er���tourists." "Obi" be murmured, disconcerted. "Only the other day my father, who Is chairman, was most severe ou one who carved his name upon a tree, and you have brokeu a branch." "A twig," he ventured to oorreot. "The same thing, "said she defiantly. "Miss Smith"��� he said in tones imploring. "Don't address me as'Miss Smith,' fir," aud sue spoke in touts most haughty. "Such familiarity"��� "Well. Edith���if you command It," be murmured abashed. "How dare you I" she oried. "I dared not���till, vou commanded," said he. "And your name brooch supplied tbe information." There was a moment's silence. "You must give me your name and address," she commanded. "For you to issue a warrant for my apprehension? No, 'theprisoner refused to give his name and address,' " he replied. It was an awkward position fora girl who only did her father's duty. "It's most ungenerous of you," ah�� exclaimed. "Just because you're a man and happen to be stronger than I am, you will evade justice." "Never," he answered firmly. "You will run away, and I, impeded by skirts, am helpless to oatoh you," she continued. "You could lift"��� "Why don't you make good yoni escape?" she interpolated with haste. "Am I not your prisoner?" he asked. "Do you mean to say you will com* quietly to the lodge and face my father?" she inquired. "As quiet as any lamb," be asserted. "Well, it's this way," said Bhe. "It is customary to grip the prisoner by the arm," be suggested. She paid him no attention, and in silence they strolled toward tbe lodge. "If you will excuse me for a minute, I will see if my father oan attend to you now," she said when, arriving al their destination, she had led him toths drawing room. "Please sit down." Surely prisoner had never been treat- ad with so much consideration. In a minute or two she returned somewhat confused. "My father will return soon," sh�� said. "Then I must wait," he replied. "Oh, don't you mind?" She seemed relieved. "Not in the least," said h*. Sbe rang a bell. "Do you oare for tea or would you prefer"��� she asked. "Tea, please," said the prisoner. And ten was brought. "I think I saw a picture of this honsi in this year's academy," said the prisoner, tea and toast in band. "Did you really notice it?" she said with pleased surprise. "I painted it, and Mr. Barry bought it Mr. Barry owus all this property." "Indeed! He must account himseli most fortunate to havo so zealous a guardian as yourself. Thank you���hall a cup." Then they talked of many things���ol books, of paintings, of poets' songs, till the sun lost some of its youthful vigor, and thsy wandered iuto the garden, and there th* conversation was of othei tbiugs perhaps more human than that ol hooks and paintings, but none the less pleasant, and at last they happened on a mutual enthusiasm, and they enthused until th* sun just dropped behind lofty Graigavar, aud a sudden ohill fell upon the jailer, and she cried: "My father will b* back in a few minutes. Hadn't you better���escape?" "And we were getting ou so well, too, "said the prisoner, with half a sigh. "Yes���I mean 1 think you have boon imprisoned long enough," she murmur- '���d. "Oh, not" replied th* prisoner gallantly. "You have���indeed you have. Pleat*, please go. My father might adjourn, or something terrible, and yon, with nobody to bail you out, would have to go to pris��� Oh I I am sure Mrs. Jones, tbt oonstable's wife would never make you comfortable. Dogol Do go I" she pleaded, with hands that were clasped in pi'y- "But how about your duty to Jtlr Barry?" he asked. "Bother Mr. Barry I" sbe exclaimed. Then, with gravel flying and the sound of muob crunching of small stones, cam* Major Smith, tbe agent of the Barry estate, and he, seeing thorn, pulled up his ponies with greut suddenness nnd, leaping to tbe ground, ml vnnood, crying: "Ah, my deur fellow, bore you are I I'm di lighted to welcome you to your own house uf ier so long un absence.

"Nobody ever rticognizoo it asm*," isaid tbe young man uubluabingly. "It is said to be a speaking likeness all tb* same." Bhe rewarded him wilh a grateful iglauoe.
