They were eliown the wireless apparatus which was explained to them. Nu attempt was made to get signals from England because of the hostility of the Anglo-American Cable Co.

Pottage la Prairie, Dec. 17.���It has been rumored around town for some weeks that the two DavidBon girls, who were reported as drowned in the AsMnnaboiue river Bome mouths ago, were not actually Oiowned, and both girls nre still alive. The girls were down at the old fort one afternoon last summer with their sister nnd Mr. II. Hennet and it was reported during the afternoon that both theglilshad beon drowned while bathing in the river. A search was made for the bodies, continuing over a week and was joined in by large numbers of citizens, but neither nf the bodies could he found and nothing has been heard of them since. Yesterday the rumor was widely spread that one of the two girls was back in town and that the other was married and living in North flakcta, and that the report of the drowning was purely fabulous. Citizens are inclined tu think the report as to the drowning "as got up to cover the disappearance ef girls. the DEATH AT BAT PORTAOE.

Victor'.a, Dec. 17.���Dr. Fagan, secretary of the provincial board of health,has returned foim a trip to thc upper country for the purpose of looking into the condition there in regard to smallpox. He found in most of the districtsa sharper lookout being maintained, and such oases as have developed have been isolated and are pto- gressing favorably. At Rossland there arc two cases, both doing well. At Phoenix one case has developed in one of the mines, and the doctor found it necessary to isulate 147 men. These have been taken to another part of the workings, and kept at work there underground so that while practically quarantined, they arc not prevented from following their ordinary avocation. At McQuinlan's camp, on thc V. V. and E. in the vicinity of Grand Fcrks, three eases have developed, and 75 men had to be isolated in consequence. All thc men mentioned were engaged in construction work, and the quarantined men have been detached to a section by themselves, and will be kept under surveillance until the disease has had time to develop. On the construction gang of the Republic and Grand Forks line a case has also developed, and in this instance the eighty odd men who bad been exposed to contagion were dispatched back across the boundary line whence they came. All through the districts he visited the doctor found that the disease had Veen introduced from Washington state, where the greatest laxity is allowed in connection with the epidemic. There are two cases in the Crow's Neat Puss, ono at Marysville, and the other at Kimberley, but both aie doing well. The doctor confirms the apprehension felt as mentioned in the Times regarding the development of the disease during the coming summer. The type is becoming more virulent, and the authorities south of the border exercise as little caution as ever in checking the propagation of the disease. The British Columbia officials this year will be required to redouble their vigilance along the border in order to protect the towns and camps of this piovince. AN OBSTREPEROUS DEPUTY.

MYSTERIOUS INFLUENCE. His Magic Spell Brought $185,000 Out of Samuel Stevenson. Chicago, Doc. 17.���Testimony was offered before Judge Tnllsy today in the suit for the appointment of a receiver for John Alexander Dowie's Zion lace industries to show that Dowie possessed some mysterious power' over his disciples. Samuel Stevenson, the plaintiff, who charges Dowie with having defrauded bim of $185,000 by this power, swore tbat Dowie waved his hands and exerted this influence by pressing him closely to his body. The attorney for the defense tried to have this power appear in the records as magnetism, but the court would not permit it. Stevenson testified tbat thiee times he had felt an indescribable awe when Dowie pressed him to his body and that from this influence he and other persons felt that Dowie could call down a curse upon bim e actually. He related how Dowie was said to have declared that it the late Dwight L. Moody did not cease hiB fight against Zion tbat he would not say that Moody might not die and that later Dowie told how Moody had taken sick and die. Stevenson told how three times he had tried to get out of Dowie's influence but had failed until now. LOSS BY FLOODS. Ithaca, N.

MARKETS FOR COPPER. W Gos- M. Brewer Replies to R. E, nel and Urges Active Steps. A representative of tho Victoria Times recently interviewed W. M. Brewei, M.E., relative to the position taken by R. E. Gosnell, secretary to the premier, in a recent mterivew granted to the Times. Mr. Brewer stated that he was very pleased to Bee tbat Mr. Gosnell attached so much importance to procuring statistics relative to the markets of the Orient for the products of British Columbia, especially copper, lead, silver, iron, steel, paper, pulp, etc. It is a move in the light direction," he Baid, "and the fact that at present the shipping facilities are against us is a discovery well worth knowing, because 'forewarned ia forearmed,' and the provincial government can now make proper represen- to the Dominion government on thc subject with a view to suosidizing ship building or encouraging the industry on the PaciBo coast. It was in order to bring out the weak points regarding my suggestions to commence investigations an to the markets across the Pacific ocean which first led me to a discussion of tbe subject, and the facter so prominently brought out by Mr. Gosnell while ot serious moment, need not, in my opinion, binder the compiling of such statistics as are necessary to inform capitalists with regard to the demands of that market, because that stumbling block oan be removed if it is ascertained that the markets are substantially as important aB is generally supposed. "That they arc so, I have no doubt, in fact the press of th�� Sound cities and San Francisco is continually calling attention to them. I doubt, though, if the people in Pacific Const states are any better posted on them than those of British Col uinbla. "At tbe present time thc production of the refined products and manufactures 1 have mentioned is so limited that I may be considered as taking time by thu forelock premature, hut this is not a good argument because it has been demonstrated that the first in thc field reap the biggest harvests to lar aB commercial expansion goes. Twenty yenm ago the Pennsylvania iron masters scouted the idea of danger from competition with the Alabama furnaces, but today the product of tbe latter not only compete success fully with the procuet of Pennsylvania, but it was demonstrated when No. I foundry Iron was selling at $7.50 per ton that the Alabama iron would be exported to England, and sold at a profit while Pennsylvania Iron of thc same grade cuuld not he. The difficulty with regard to shipping waa one of the main adverse factors which the Alabama iron masters have to contend with. They fought a hard fight though, and won without any subsidies or help Irom the Federal government. "I believe llritish Columbia can do the same, though of course if aid can be obtained from the Dominion so much the better. But what Is of paramount i'rportano is to ascrtain the extent and demands otth.-markets across the Pacific, and whether those markets arc the substantal realiitirs the press states tbem to be ot mythical subjects useful only for Vancouver, Dec. 17.���Major K Q.

ELECTRIC LHUIT BYLAW. One of the chief objections to the electric light hylaw is that it will increase the taxes on realty and improvements. There is no doubt whatever that it would have this effeot, and besides, this the increased taxation would result in making Nelson a town which investors would shun. People who have money to invest in realty, those about to embark iu business, manufacturers who desire to erect plants, where they have a choice of several places to select from, and where other tilings are equal, inavnably locate in tlie town whei-9 the municipal debt is small and the rate of taxation low. Nelson needs more stores, more residents, more factories in order to reach the size which its position entitles it and nothing should be done to handicap it in the race for the commercial and manufacturing supremaoy of the Kootenays. Other towns are coming up in the Kootenays which have ambitions of the same nature us Nelson, but none of them possess the natural advantages which Nelson has as a residential, manufacturing and business center, and it would not be a wise move to put too burdensome a debt on the present capacity of the city to pay, which might prevent these advantages from being folly brought ont. This we believe wonld surely be the case if the municipal indebtedness should be made larger than it ought to be. With the natural increase in the size and importance of the place, which will come if a conservative, progressive and wise policy is pur- BUed, there will be a time, and a time which is not fur away, when the expenditure of ���200,000 or $.100,000 for an electric plant will nut be a matter of a very serious consequence, but at present the raising of 8150,000 is more than the city should borrow for that purpose, especially whon it is known that it would crowd close to the full bo��towing capacity of the city. A number of well informed ratepayers, and men who arc of tile progressive type and who have the interest of the city at heart, have signified their intention of voting against the bylaw and principally bean use they consider it would be impolitic, at the present juncture to further burden the municipality with debt. Nelson's credit is good and its condition from almost any standpoint which it is viewed is excellent, hut the desire of nil is to keep it in that condition ami not hurt it by burdening it witli a larger debt at the present time. So far as lights arc concerned the city still hns its own plant, which can be reinforced. Then there is the Nelson Lbs and Coke company. It is a home institution which is engaged in furbishing li^ht to tho people of this oity and in rates are not exorbitant, If the eity plant is nut of sulllcieiit capacity, and If a majority of the people do not care to enter into a contract with the West Kootenay Power and Light company to furnish additional power, the gas compnny is prepaid! at all times to give them an efficient light service at reasonable oost. The city is not in so had a condition, so far as illuminnnts are eon- crned, as those who would desire to rush it and make it borrow 8l!i0,00O for the purpose of providing a plant would like to make us believe. The expendture of the sum of tlMl.ooO and there are some very conservative pco pie who think the plant would cost considerably more than this nmoiint, is u matter lint requires careful consideration and nt least a proper est^- Save Your Snowsboe Tags The most popular brand of Chewing Tobacco in Canada today is "Pay Roll."

Senator Templeman in dicusssing the statement made by Joseph Martin at a recent Liberal association meeting in Vancouver, to the effeot that the west from Winnipeg to Biitish Colnm bia should hive three representatives in the Dominion cabinet, heartily agreed with Mr. Martin. He added tbat .lie was of tho opinion that tho Ynkon Territory will have a representative in the Dominion parliament before long. The people of the west are entitled to it and the Liberal government, he said, would undoubtedly take action in this direction. Thu census showed that the west is growing rapidly and tbat the increase iu British Columbia was paitioularly large. The material development, too, is very great. It Is nothing short of an injustice that a section like llritish Columbia should be without a single representaive ln tho Federal cabinet. Uon. Clifford Sifton now represents a large population and an area of im- pottant country in the federal cabinet, in which he bas tbe portfolio of minister of the interior. He lepresents Manitoba, the Northwest Territories, and British Columbia. While Mr. Sifton is a man of more than ordinary executive ability, and of great energy and capacity, he cannot spread himself over so large a teiritory and attend to the wants of so maoy people as they should be looked after. Manitoba, British Columbia and the Northwest Territories each should have a representative in the cabinet This would result in each having its interests properly looked after, and would he a more equitable arrangement than having only one representative for the west in the chief executive body of the Dominion. With an additional senator from British Columbia to represent the Yale-Cariboo constituency and a cabinet minister to represent the province, British Columbia would be receiving the consideration to whicb it is justly entitled.

The main question for wage earners in llritish Columbia is the question of Oriental immigration, says the Post Outlook. A man does not attempt to improve his house or plant a garden with a writ of ejectment hanging over his head. It !b perhaps fortunate for the labor interests of British Columbia that they do not have to fight this question alone. All classes and sec- tons in Australasia excepting possibly Queensland are a unit on this question and will soon force it to an issue. All that has to be done here is to see that British Columbia gets the same treatment as Australia does.

In the 6fty-two years that have elapsed sinoe gold was first discovered in California, in "forty-eight" the output of the mines has reached the enormous total of something over a billion dollars; to be exact, the amount is $1,350,000,000, says an exchange. Tho largest yearly production was made in 1852, when the placers were at the height of their glory, the amount being {81,304 700. Thu old placer mines of the early days bave long aio.Se disappeared, and the crude methods ut first in use have been replaced by thoroughly modern skill and appliances. The surface workings of fifty years back have been followed by scientifio mining in the deep levels. Never before have California's mines been so favorably regarded or so active as they are today and while the output of the gold alone has not advanced,the production of other minerals has made such strides ahead that the outlook is most assuring.

Having exhausted my own skill as well as many others, 1 chanced to see your sign upon your windows on 130 th Btreet, New York, I at onoe obtained a bottle of Asthmaleno.

The mine is doing well and the circular accompanying the cheque contains Ihe intimation that a similar dividend will be paid on January 15tb, 1902. At the record oflice the following records were entered yesterday . Locations, Klondyke, about one mile up Wild Ilurse creek, near Ymir, by E. l'eters; Oie Mountain, on Ore monn- tuin, about 1.1 miles s. ullicast from Salmo, by W. McArthur: Ore Ben, adjoining the Ore Mountain, by John II. Benson. The transfer of a one-half interest ic the Elko mineral claim from Arthur M. Bouillon to John Svoboda and S. Marshall was entered, the consideration being $200. A large quantity of supplies was shipped to the Molly (iibson mine yesterday by the steamer Nelson. This pronerty is now looking in excellent shape and about 000 tons of ore is said to be on the dump awaiting shipment to the smelter, to which several consignments have already been sent The lack of snow preventing sleighing has interfered with the transpor- alion facilities of the mine as it is necessary to transfer ore and supplies to wagons at about three miles from the lake, and haul it to the landing. With the advent of more snow tlie shipments will increase at once, and can be hauled direct from the foot of the tramway to- the lake, thus effecting a considerable saving in time and handling. Last year about 800 tons of ore was mined during the season but the record for the present year promises to be raised considerably although the time in which mining has been carried on has been short. The ore is chiefly galena ot ralher a low grade as regards lead, but carrying good silver values of about ten ounces to the per cent, of lead. The outlook for the mine during the com- ing year is very bright and before long it will probably be a large and steady shipper. ii ii i& ii i& SWEET CAPORAL CIGARETTES. NONE BETTER.

Editor Miner���Without entering into ary controversy regarding any of the money bylaws now befcre the people of Nelson, as secretary of the school board, I wish to remind the electors that in 1902 and every subsequent year the city will be obliged to raise a considerable sum of money for school purposes. As nearly as it is now possible to estimate, the government school grant to Nelson in 1902 will be 84,100, while for salaries, fuel and sundry expenses betweeu 88,000 and $9,000 will be required, thus leaving a balance of about 84,000 to be raised by taxation.

A FEW "TRIFLES" WHICH THE SULTAN SENT IN 1839. GRANDFATHERS' CLOCKS. They Pmt Prealdeat Van llur.-u Ia a Dilemma, and Congress Finally llnd to Take a llmxl In tlic Aliiiir. tome Hnndaouic Present*. 'On the seventh day of the mouth of Behawwal, in the year 1H54 of the befiri ���which is the Arabian way of writiaf Dec. 2D, 1831)���the sultan of Oman, whose name was Kcyyid Snood, Bin Bui- tun Biu Ahmed, addressed a gracious letter to "His Excellency Martin Van Bu- ren, President of the United Sliiten of North America," in which he informed the president lhat he bad sent him by the royal ship Sultiniec a few trifles as a token of friendship and good feeling. These trifles consisted of two Arabiun horses aud their groom, one botlle of uttnr of rose, two pieces of gold, five demijohns of rosewoter, one Persian carpet, one gold ornament with a silk tassel, four camel's hair shawls, one gold mounted sword, two largo pearls, one string of 1B0 pearls, oue gold pluto, on* buttle of diamonds, oue gold snuff hoi studded with precious stones and one box of mixed pearls and diamonds. The ship with its precious cargo arrived in New York on the 2d of May. nud the president was at once notified, tluder the constitution the president has not the right to accept a personal gift from any foreign state or power, and consequently Mr. Van Bureu was iu a dilemma. lie referred the matter to the secretary of state, aud the secretary of state wrote to the agents of the vessel in New York, and they, in turn, informed the commander of the ship that the president was without authority tu accept the gifts. But the commander was not willing to carry the presents hack to bis royal master, for the sultan had a way of cutting off the heads of his messengers if they failed to deliver his presents. So he politely hut firmly insisted that they should be accepted. l-'eariug thnt this might give rise to unpleasant complications, the president finally decided to refer the question to congress as a last resort. Accordingly, on May 21 he nddressed a communication tn CDLLIBLE MARINES? the senate Belting forth thu difficulty' hu was in and asking thnt some action might be taken. The matter was duly considered hy congress, and nt the eud of two mouths' deliberation it passed a resolution authorising the president to accept the gifts in the uame of the United States government and to dispose of such as could not conveuiently be stored iu the state department. After three months of correspondence, red tape, diplomacy and legislation the sultan's Christmas presents were finally accepted, and then the president was put to tho trouble ot selling the horses, the shawls and the rosewater, while Uncle Sam was given the further trouble of finding a suitable place lo store the remaining gifts and was afterward put to great expense in capturing tho thief who carried off thc entire collection in a bag and was only caught after a long chase. This is not Ihe only time that Uncle Sam has got himself into trouble by his popularity. Por many years our consuls and ministers in Asia and Africa had a hard time trying to convince emperors, sultans and kings that it was against the laws of our couutry for them to accept the presents which these sovereigns insisted upon offering them to show how much they thought of Uncle Bam. Many of these offerings consisted of animals- horses, elephants, tigers and the like��� aud our representatives had no end of trouble iu finding accommodations for such unwieldly and ferocious gifts, which are ofttimes forced upon them in spite of their protests. Of course, Unci* Sam hns received many presents whieh he has been very glad to accept as tokens of friendship nud good will on the part of foreign governments. These gifts embrace a wide variety of objects, from I plain whale's tooth���presented by the king ot the Fiji Islands���to costly ornaments, handsome ?ieces of furniture and rare paintings. '1% first gift received by the American government wns two paintings, oil portraits of Louis XVI and atari* Antoinette, presented hy the king und quean themselves soon after thu clos* of our Revolutionary war. Unci* Sam has been particularly fortunate lu tbe matter of vases. The French government's regard fur Unci* Bam is embodied In snuie beautiful Bevies vshch of the highest artistic beauty and very valuable. Among the most noteworthy are the two French Limoges vases In the Nntlonul museum. They are each over eight feet iu height, one decorated with emblems of war nnd the oilier with symbols of peace. Their total cash value���if we may be allowed to place a money valuation on a gift���Is ��17,500. Another vase that should not be overlooked Is lhe on* awarded hy the emperor of Germany to this country as first prlr.0 at the Berlin Fishery exposition in 1SS0. It Is mad* of silver, gold and glass, tludiled with Jewels nnd Is uf exquisite design and workmanship. On the outside of the Nutlonnl museum, as though deserving of no better accommodation, is n huge stone sarcophagus, or coffin, which wns presented by the admiring people of Syrln to President Jackson. "Old Hickory" did not appreciate Iho gift and swore that h* would not be buried in it. It Is, therefore, not looked upon with much favor except by tourists, who have up to this time chipped off more than ten pound* of it as mementos. Next to vases Uncle Sum is specially rich In swords���swords of all kinds, most of them handsome and costly���Hint have been presented by various foreign governments or their representative*. Medals, too, are a common form of gift. The sultan of Turkey showed his good will by sending us a medal In commemoration of the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery Of America. It is an exquisite enmoo In a case of gold studded with diamonds. Of course every one Is familiar with the two great statues presented by the people of Prance to the people of America���the statue of Liberty, which stands at the entrance to the harbor of New York, nnd the Lafayette statue, which adorns the beautiful park in Washington opposite the White House und hns th* distinction of being the only official monument to n foreigner lu Ihe national capital. Mention might be ininle of inntiy oth*r gl 'tn received by Unci* Sam from his foreign brethren, hut those already ciled will serve tu show by their number and liy their variety how great and how widespread is the esteem lu which out ���ouatrr I* held. -Ladles' Hum* Journal. ���till tird In New KnBland and la Demand by collector*. "There are mor* old fashioned clock* around than people would think," says an Augusta man who makes a specialty of repairing them. "Most of those with tbe wooden works ar* of American make, I think. It must have been expensive to import the clocks with brass movements in those early days, and the ingenious Yankees set to work to make their own clocks from wood. Moat of them ar* made from the apple tree and with only a brass scape wheel and iron wires. They are not so different from the clocks made uowaduye. un. they can be repaired and Will really keep excellent time. "The principal thing to do in repairing them ia to put new teeth in th* wooden wheels wher* they have been worn or been broken off. These ar* dovetniled in aud then filed Into shape, and th* clock is as good as new. Then, again, the holes In the wooden backs ar* worn, and brass bushings are put in. "Most of the old clocks are eight day clocks, and they are frequently less trouble to put in order than the modern clocks. It is the pencrulum which regulates th* movement of th* cluck, and those long, heavy pendulums ar* less affected hy jars than shorter ones. Being large, particularly those with the grandfather movement, as w* call that ot th* large clocks, they arc more apt to be stationary. "Most of the clock* brought to me ar* from 50 t* 100 years old, thuugi, unfortunately, they ar* not dated. I law on* the other day that was known to lie 300 years old, but that was an imported clock. Last year I repaired about 40 old clicks. "There is always a demand in the market for th* old clocks, and I know nost of thos* that are to be found are genuine. One would b* more apt to find th* works genuine than th* case. They may be In good condition when /he cas* has been battered aud broken to pieces. It would hardly pay to mult* new clocks to sell as old ones. There is not a large number ot them sold, and * man may hold clocks for a year or so and then sell several. When you come to think of It, it is not ��o strange that there are so many genuine old clocks to be found. If in the early days each family had one, that wonld make a good stock for th* people who care for th*m. "Dealers travel sH over the country here and everywhere abroad, picking up old fashioned furniture. They visit the old junk stores, pick up things for a song, bring them over here, have them repaired and sell them for big prices."���Kennebec Journal.

Malt* Prlaoaera at Themselves hy Crawling Into I.lve Oysters. An oyster shuckor found in the shell of a bivalve what he called a baby crab. "That's the first on* of that kind I ever found in a Long Island oyster," said th* old shiieker, "and I'v* been shucking along th* sound for 20 years. But such crabs are frequently found io Virginia oyster shells and ar* considered great delicacies when you get enough of them. Last summer I was shucking while on a visit to Virginia, and I found enough baby crabs iu oyster shells to fill an ordinary site coffeepot. A young woman saw tbem and clapped her hand* at th* sight. She asked m* what I would take for them, and I said $2 without thinking. Sho took m* up quicker than a mice, and off she ran with them a* if she had drawn a prize." "Why do th*y go Into oyster shells?" "I don't know. I asked an old Virginia shiieker that same question, and h* said lt was because they wera lonesome and went in for company. But I don't believe It. That would mean that canbs think, and we know they don't. Neither doe* a lobster. I think th* biggest fool ln water is a lobster. I suppose you know how we catch lobsters in th* sound? Take a box, bor* holes in th* sides of lt snd slak it. Put out your buoy so you'll know wher* to find th* box. L*by* the box sunk all nlfht and go nut th* next morning, haul It up, and you've got a box full of lobster*. And the funny thing about It la that they go into the holes backward. Even people will put thair heads lata holes wher* they ar* looking, but it tikes a lobster to back iate a hoi*, snd they keep on doing It. Fisk ar* smart. You have to play with th*m to bite. But lobsters, they back right Into your arm*. Biggaat toola that llv*." ComlasT aa Later.

When I was a Jimmy Legs, as the bluejackets call a ship's master at arms, I came very close to losing the rating badge off my sleeve and the brass buttons off my blouse through the foxl- npss of a puir of marines on board my ���hip. "One of the best sea soldiers I wa* ever shipmate with was an Irishman- call him Jim Corrignn���who hnd the corporal's chevrons when he joined the ship I wns the Legs of. He came aboard at the Mare Island navy yard befoie wc pulled up our mud hook for a cruise dowu th* west coast of Mexico and Central ard South America. He was a rattling gi od soldier, a clean, spick nnd span man who had in his ditty box a degree that he had taken at the University ot Dublin. He bad but one apparent fault��� thc one that doubtless worked him into a tovernmeut Btrnight uniform as a soldier of the Bca���which was an abiding low for hot nnd rebellious liquorB. He ke| t this rum passion down while on board ship, but whenever he 'hit the beieh' he drank five glasses ot liquor tf. tht one glass tossed off by any of hiB compantous, marines or soldier*. "From a quiet, reserved man he changed into a fighting maniac when drunk. Corrigan didn't go ashore from the time he joined the ship until we pulled into the harbor of Acnpulco. Then he weat over the side, and within 20 minutes after he put his foot on the bench he was fighting drunk on mescal and knocking dowu UreaBers In sets of fours. He didn't show up aboard for four days, breaking his liberty three days. He wns still drunk and ugly when he reported himself to the officer ot the deck. The officer of the deck said to him. 'Well, Corrignn, you've mnde a mess of it this time���three days overdue aud still in your potations.' And Corrigan made for him. "It means death in some of the world's navies even in time ot peace for an enlisted man to raise his hand to an officer, hut the punishment is a hit less severe in our outfit. Corrigan was beaten down and overcome after a terrific struggle. He was put in double Irons in the brig, and general court martial charges were immediately preferred against him. He was to be shipped up to Mare Island, with an escort, on one of the up going Panama boats, for his general court martial, and the least he could expect was dishonorable discharge and three years at the smallest calculation at hard labor iu the Mare Island naval prison. There wasn't to be a boat up bound for San Francisco for ten days or so, aud we were booked to remain at AcapUlco for a couple of weeks. "Corrigan was quiet and incidentally pretty sore in more ways than one when he came out of his mescal trance. Inasmuch as the temperature of the brig was about 120 degrees and thn steamer would not be along for ten days, he was given the liberty of the ship during the day and only confined in tbe brig after 'pipe down.' The top sergeant of tbe marine guard nnd myself were ordered to watch him closely to see that he didn't go over tbe side. "Corrigan'a only chum and confidant aboard waB another marine, also an Irishman���call him Mike Oallngher��� who, like Mulvauey, had often been 're jooced' from the corporal's rate. He waa then a private. Corrigau and Oallngher were noticed to have their heads together a good deal while the former was waiting for the steamer to come along and tako him up to the navy yard for trial, but I didn't suspect anythlug. "One afternoon Gallagher 'put In' for liberty. Liberty parties used to leave the ship In that port shortly before 8 o'clock In tbe evening. On the afternoon before Gallagher put his nnme down for liberty a young ensign had joined the ship, arriving on a south bound Panama boat. When the new ensign, who was the officer of the deck, started to call off the names of the men In the liberty party, among the first wns thnt of Michael Gallagher. When Gallagher's name was called off, Jim Corrigan, spick and span in his best uniform, stepped forward, saluted, said 'Here, sir,' and walked down the ladder to the launch. The ensign didn't know his face from Gallagher'*, having just joined the ship the day before. The 18 men In the liberty party knew, though, and the nudaeity of Cor- rigun's move stunned them. They understood It instantly, however, and It wasn't up to thorn to say anything. "The liberty party was checked off on the book, and away went the cutter to the shore, Corrigau sitting In the stern sheets as cool ss a cucumber. The other men In tbe cutter dldu't say anything to him. Men-o'-war's men are not talkative under such circumstances. Corrigan stepped off the cutter, made straight for a place where he knew he could hire * horse, and within half an hour after he left the ship he was striking into the interior for the railroad. He had $300 in gold, thc savings of a former enlistment, along with him. He has never been heard of since. "When the liberty party left the ship, Gallagher was hiding under a tarpaulin on the to'gallant fo'c'sle. When darkness fell witb tropical suddenness, be let himself down the anchor chains, into ashore, and the next morning he returned with his liberty party, clean and sober. ] had missed Corrigan when I hunted for him at 'pipe down' to put him In the brig for the night. I was responsible for him, but 1 never suspected how the trick had been turned until thc day Gallagher was paid off, when he told mc about It In a burst ot rummy confidence. I never 'peached,' although the job came within nn ace of getting me 'busted' to thc rate of an ordinary seaman." ��� Washington Star.

He luil used it in the ease of the suspects arriving from Spokane under direction of Dr. LaBau and Dr. Fagan Had also been present. He considered that the 10 per cent, preparation hung up on sheets in a room would thoroughly disinfect the room and would not damage any fabric or instrument. He had never heard of sulphur being used where there were any such things as Instruments in the room to be disinfected. He would not use it in any case. He thought sulphur a sham anil the general opinion of the medical authorities was against its use. It was still used in Canada and in Great Cumin but the Unitea States and the Continent had discarded it altoge'.her. If the Dominion authorities directed its use he would say they were in error. He then went into details as to the damage done to the instruments anil said he would not care to use them now. ne had been advised never to have instruments rcplated though he knew it was done some times. Thc plating would not hold. The principal part of Dr. Rose's evidence was direoted to the results of certain experiments he had conducted while medical superintendent of the Royal Victoria hospital at Montreal. They had there put cultures of various disease germs in small sacks within various thicknesses of cloth, deposited these in chambers and subjected them to tile various disiiifectan's. The conclusion reached from these esuciiiiients was that formaline was more penetrating in its effect than sulphur, and the textile fabric was not impaired in any way. He also was examined as to the details of the loss sustained through the closing of his oflice and the interruption to his practice through thc workmen being there for several days making the renovations necessary. Had formaline been used the offices could have been used wilhin six hours. Ilr. Sinclair, Dominion quarantine ntlieiT at Rossland, and a medical practitioner there, was the flrst witness for the defendant. He had practised medicine for 35 years. He bad always used sulphur for the reason that he found it effective, and he would use nothing else. The instructions of the Dominion government were to use it. He used Bulphur in disinfecting cars of the railwBy company; he took three pounds of sulphur to the 1,000 cubic feet of space. He thought that course proper and would continue to pursue it; ho would not consider formaline for a moment. In the cross examination Di. Sinclair stated that tlie safety of the pub He wns the one thing to be guided by private interests cut no figure though he wonld of course not destroy property needlessly. If he were to have his office disinfected he would lemove his Instruments llrst and put them in hot water. It was neglectful of anyone not tn do so. He had never usod fortrmliMi, he did not think it would destroy animal life. Some authorities, WOltly Amerioans, were quoted but Dr. Sinclair would not accept any of Hieto us settling the question. The llritish government directed the usa of sulphur and he was British and would Uny by that. Mr- Taylor oited the laBt regulations issued by Dr. Fagan, secretary ot thu provincial board of hoalth, but Dr. Sinclair did not look upon him as ����� iiuthonty; it was doubtful, he Mid, whether he had disinfected one ""use in the past three years. Dr. Hawkey, Dr. Reinhart and Dr. Dougherty also gave evidence all strongly favoring sulphur as the only effective disinfectant, and against the "��' of formalilno. HYCJENIC!

Mr. Young repor's that great interest is taken in his company there and that as a result of his visit some large blocks of its stock have been purchased at good figures. Mr. Young says the Similkameen Valley Smelting, Mining and Development company hns boon organized with a capital stock of 81,000,000 for the purpose of erecting a smelter at Ashnola. Mr. Young says the smelter will go up without delay and will be of 1,000 tons a day oapacity, although designed so that this can he increased to ::,000 without the slightest difficulty so soon as t'.e number of operating mines shall have heen sufficiently in creased to keep a larger smelter busy. Copper and Kennedy mountains, about two and one-half miles distant from Ashnola, will be the new smelter's chief source of ore supply, the product of the properties on these two mountains being cupper aud gold in valuable and easily worked combinations. Silver-leal ores will be drawn from lloulder creek where development has progressed sufficiently to show immense bodies admirably placed for profitable working. The. ores of the Michel Plate mine in the vicinity of Twenty-Mile and of other properties in that locality ate high grade gold and silver, with just sufficient irun to be Self-fluxing and most economical. It, too, will find a natural market at Ashnola, while���for which reason the new town has been selected by the smelter projectors���lime and every other smelter requisite is found in geierous abundance within a radius of 10 miles the fact of having fuel at thoir doors, giving the smelter people an immense advantage over their business rivals.

MORLEY & LAING SUCCES30RS TO THOMSON STATIONERY CO., Ltd, NELSON. B.C. Show Room for Mason & Risen pianos �������MM*t^WVtMMMMI THE CITY A. F. Rosenberger returned Monday evening from the east, where he nas visited a number of cities in tho in terests of Ihe Northwestern Develop ment Syndicate. At the recent civil service examinations held in Nelson two candidates possed the preliminary examination, namely, George A. Maeleod and Thomas Parker. The result of the qualifying examination has not yet beeu announced. The steamer Kokanee will make its first trip today since it left the ways after being overhauled from stem to stern. The Nelson will make a couple of trips between the Landing and Nelson taking the place of the Moyie for a day or two. Much sympathy is felt for Mr. and Mrs. Batchelor and family, of Fair- view, iu the loss they have sustained in the death of their son and brother, llertie, who died recontly at the early age of seven years. He was it kind and affectionate little fellow and was much beloved by everyone. A delivery team left standing in front of a wholesale establishment on Front Btreet yesterday morning tried to liven things up by running away and made a lively race from near Josephine street until they reached tho hill at Cedar street where they slackened up and were caught Dy a passerby. The Chinese missionary Ng Chang, wno has been working among the Jhinanicn of Nelson reports that lie is meeting with fair success in his labors, holding meetings twice a week at which a number of Chinamen who are desirous of learning t�� speak English and to understand western doctrines, attend. The recent coid snnp has had the effect of causing the water in the lake to sink considerably, the level now being two inches lower than the lowest mark touched last year. It is stated that the lowest water is usually in January and February and if this occurs this winter it will probably occasion considerable Inconvenience at the different landing places along the lake. The proximity of a stock of 20 cords of wood to the skating ponds along the lake shore is causing the owner of the wood considerable anxiety as it is four.d most convenient for lighting lionilrcs by the small buyB who arc skating near. Since one boy was arrested for stealing the wood not so much has been taken, but it is still disappearing in small quantities. A meeting of the members of Emmanuel Congregational church wns held Monday evening in the parlors of the church, nt which it wns decided that the resignation of tlie pastor should oot he accepted. Mr. Monroe has therefore decided to remain with tbe church until next May. Since it wns known that there was a probability of Mr. Monroe's leaving his Nelson charge, he hns received a number of most favorable offers from Outside congregations. On Wednesday evening at H o'clock in thc Salvation Army barracks. Adjt. and Mrs. Ayre, from Spokane, will Oonduct a special meeting. The adjutant and his wifo were the pioneer officers to Nelson, hnving begun army work here just live years ago. On Thursday evening the opening of the new barracks on Victoria Btreet will take place.

All are jovitciJ. -r.1, imm _ A dance was gi��en by the proprietor of the Royal hotel last evening at whiob about 25 couples were present and a very pleasant evening spent. A rather nnusual spectacle was seen on the Nelson-Granite rojd yesterday morning in the shape of two old gray- bearded men pulling along a handsled on which was an oia mine pump wi'h a quantity of metal pipe. The pair were evidently heading for a claim on Bird creek, which they bad abandoned temporarily on account of its frequent flooding, and intended pulling their heavy load ovei the six miles of road and eight miles of rough trail to the claim. J. K. Strachan, city cleik, returned last evening fiom Rossland, whither be was summoned as a witness in the case of Armstrong vs. Hint lino. Mr Hartllne sold a team of horses to the city a short time since, for JliOO and Dr. Armstrong, who iB a veterinnnan, claimed a commission ot $100 for assisting in making the sale. The case was tried in the Small Debts' court in Rossland yesterday before Magistrate Boultbee. After tbe evi dence was heard and tbe case argued and submitted. Judge Bcultbec took it under advisement and will render a decision at a inter date. F. W. Peters, who left this city a year ago for the purpose of assuming the position of general freight agent of the C.P.R. at the coast, arrived in tho city last evening. Mr. Peters is tbe president of the Nelson Tramway company, aud came here for the special purpose of attending a meeting of tbat company which is to he held in this city today. The question which will come up is whether or uot the company will continue to operate its cars at a loss. Mr. Peters says he is pleased with his position at the const, hut is glad to be back in Nelson for a few days among his many trends. A meeting was held last evening at tne general offices of the C. P. R. for the purpose of organising a C. P. R. hockey team. The following officers were elected for thc season of 1901- 1902: Hon-Fresident, Wm. Downie; president, H. E. Macdouell; vice- president, Capt. J. C. (lore; 2nd vice- president, R. W.Drcw; 3rd vice-president, C. II. Craudou; manager, J. S, Carter; secretary, C. H. Decker; treasurer, J. A. Newport; captain, W, L, Spry. Committee of maangement, J. H. Fox. E. G. Smythe, C. E. Beasley, H. ���, Connon. It was decided that the colors of the club should be black and white. The subject of a city league was brought np before the meeting and it was decide to ask that other clubs who were anticipating organization wou.d do so nt once, and communicate witb the secretary of this club to form a oity league so ns to arrange a series of games. The contractor began yesterday and by night bad almost finished the task of clearing thu sidewalk In front of the structure which has been fenced in for something over six months. This gives a clear passage to the store of D. J. Robertson and Co., which firm has suffered no little loss of trade because of the fencing in of the sidewalk which impeded access to their establishment on one side. This firm and other establishments in the same vicinity should bave an increase in tlieir trade now that the sidewalk is clear again, and when the postoffice is finished there should be considerable addition in their trade by reason of the large number who will pass along Vernon street going to and coming from the postoffice. It is tne intention of the poatofUce contractors tc cover the walls und stop work on the building for the seaon within thc next two or three days. Work will be resumed on the structure early in the spring and it should be ready for ooeupancy hy next fall. SWEET CAPORAL CIGARETTES, Steam Factory.
