Poole NO. 94 Has Paid a Big Price for Lucky Jack Group Relief a fair crew Is at work, two shifts, and the stamp mill and cyanide works are ln constant operation. Regular shipments are also conveyed down from the Arlington, Keystone and Canadian King mine. The Canadian King is under lease to Wm. Connolly and the Keystone to Clemens & Co. FOR BRITISH SUPREMACY [Special to Tne Dally News.] Kaslo, Aug. 6.—W. B. Poole, resident manager and principal owner of the Ophir- Lndo and Oyster Criterion groups of mines ln the Trout Lake district, came ln last night on the steamer Kokanee from tlio now famous Poplar camp. Mr. Pool is a cool, level-headed business man who has demonstrated his ability in connection with the Nettle L„ Triune nnd Silver Cup mines, and is now making a grand success of the properties whicli he Is operating. He has with him samples of ore tho equal of which has never been before seen by the oldest miner in the country. Knobs of gold stringers and filigrees of the precious metal llterully cover the largo pieces of white quartz and tellurium bearing rock now on exhibition at the hotel here where spectators crowded and pushed each other ln their efforts to see and handle the chunks of virgin wealth. Some of the samples aro a combination of telluride and mlsplckle, assaying upwards of 116,000 per ton, while picked samples gave returns of fabulous amounts. Mr, Poole states that ho has concluded arrangements for the purchnso of the. Lucky Jack group owned by Hamilton, O'Conner nnd Morgan, for n price, which ho admitted, exceeded one hundred thousand dollars. Ho says Poplar and Rapid creek camps have every Indication of proving Immense dividend payers In the very nenr future and the mining world will stand aghast nt the riches thnt nro going to be produced from that district. "In my experience I havo never seen nny- thlng to equal what hns been already uncovered. From Pish creek down to the Lardo, for thirty miles pnst Poplar, there ore now1 some one thousand and upwards, of prospectors who are securing gold In paying quantities. I believe thnt the celebrated Crlpplo creek nnd kindred camps nro going to bo eclipsed and I stake my reputation on the fact that the leads will go down. This has already been proven at a depth of four hundred feet on Pish crook. Marquis and Gilbert are sinking nnd their lend holds its own. My faith Is shown by my investments. A group near the Lucky Jack under bond for forty thousand dollars, hold a standing offer of one hundred thousand If the bond is not taken up, nnd there aro others which I have Inspected that are equally good. None need fear trouble In regard to title, the laws are explicit and clear. The natural advantages for the exploiting of the camps could not be excelled, transportation, timber, water power and climate all nsslBt In making the district a miner's pnr- adse. There Is no question about tho latent wealth of the district almost untouched os yet. New (Inds are being made daily. Kelly, Kerlin, Mngnuson, Ryan and Buffalo, nil hnve good showings and they will be heard from ns dividend payers. No, there hns been no exaggeration and the best proof of It is for doubters to come nnd see, nnd I will show them the purchase price of the Lucky Jack In sight nnd ns much more on top of It. What do you think of fissures In the cliff thnt are open wide enough for tho admittance of your hand lined with pure gold? Well, I enn show them to you and not one but mnny of them and oven more wonderful things nro to be seen. But I would not be believed. You can say this: I have a reputation nt stake thnt is the result of many years arduous lnbor and experience, nnd I nm willing to risk it In hacking every statement that has been made ns to the wealth of Poplnr creek." ERIE PLACER MINING. Extensive Operations on the North Fork of the Salmon River. [Special to Tho Dally News.] Erie, Aug. 6.—Placer mining is now the chief centre of interest in the Erie section. During the present summer the development now in progress will put this industry on a sufficiently stable basis to provide a considerable annual output of gold. The north fork of the Salmon river, which enters the main river at Erie, haB been staked out for placer claims for over seven miles. Two American corporations have since acquired clalmB covering over three miles out of this number. The North Fork Placer Mining Co. Is chiefly held in Colorado, while the Buckeye (Erie) Placer Co. is a Spokane concern. These two companies arc building a dam and flume, which will cost in the neighboring of $20,000. The flume will be about three and a half miles long, and will run the monitors of both companies. The pay dirt in the Erie placer section lies mostly within and but stretching about 100 feet each side of the creek, although a few bench claims further distant have been staked. The best strikes so far have been found ln the present actual bed of the stream after the water has been diverted. The gravel is in places over 20 feet deep and the values vary from $1 to $10 per cubic yard. Some of the claims have, however, already paid well, noticeably those sold by the Petersen brothers to the Spokane company. On these claims the original owners at times made $20 per day per man. The Erie gold is comparatively coarse although no very large nuggets have as yet been found. One or two running over $10 have been obtained. Besides the placer mining the quartz mines In the Erie district are making a very creditable output. At the Second IRONCLAD AGREEMENT WITH AMERICAN SHIPPING COMBINE.

Tho men approve of the new policy, Rome, Aug, 6.—The attention of Rome is now centred upon the solemn ceremony which is to occur on Sunday, and for which great preparations are being made. The throne of St. Peter's which Plus X. will occupy will be surmounted by a canopy 40 feet;high. The function will consume five hours. The pope has informed the vaiican officials that he wishes to be received on the threshold of the Basilica, by cardinal Rampolla, who, as arch priest of the church, will address the formal greetings to him. At the conclusion of the ceremony, tbe pope will confer his blessing upon the people, but It has not been decided whether he will do so inside the church or from the balcony looking out upon the piazza. It Is said that Plus is favorable to the latter plan, but that tbe Influence of the vatlcan officials Is against it on the ground that it might be Interpreted as a recognition of the present state of affairs in Italy. It is expected that t.0,000 tickets will be issued for the event. It is believed that the Spanish cardinal. Herrera will not he able to be present at the coronation.

Rome, Aug. 6.—During one full hour this morning the bells of about 500 churches were rung ln honor of the election of Pius X., a welcome, unique of Its kind, and ordered by cardinal Res- plghl, vicar of Rome, who issued clerical Instructions therefor. All the churches contemporaneously celebrated mass. The bell ringing served a purpose, that of heralding the great ceremony of the reception of the diplomatic body accredited to the holy see. Rome has latterly been surfeited with vatlcan functions, but that of this morning was so striking tbat It held its own with others. A procession was fariaed. First came the Swiss guards, then the Palatln guard, followed in Irregular rankB by all the pontifical priests ln all their multiform and multicolored costumes, the cardinals in all the gorgeousness of their scarlet robes and the bishops scarcely less striking ln their purple. The pope, in spotless white, his grey hair In harmony with his whole attire, and surrounded by the noble guard, who always remain near his person, went on foot Just as the others. The procession having gained the hall of the throne, whero the members of the diplomatic body were gathered, signor Dantas, the Portuguese ambassador and dean of the corps, read In a clear voice the collective greeting of his colleagues, presenting their homage to the new pope and assuring him of their fidelity. Plus X. answered with great cordiality, thanking them heartily for their good wishes. All then kissed his hand and the pontiff took this opportunity of speaking personally to each, showing a knowledge of the politics of the various countries, which surprised the diplomats, the new pontiff being credited with taking small interest In affairs outside Italy. It was rather a surprise to them to hear him speak French, if not fluently, at least with a readiness. Altogether the whole audience gave promise of a new era of international cordiality at the Vatican. The coronation ceremony will be performed at St. Peter's on Sunday, according to a rite dating from the latter part of the fourteenth century. A CYCLONE VISITS ONTARIO tlnental records.

SAYS WILLS OF THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE. Seattle, Aug. 6.—The gold output of the Klondike will aggregate $10,000,000 for the present season, according to W. T. Wills, of the Canadian Bank of Commerce at Dawson, who Is now In this city. He hoi? been connected with the handling of gold ln Dawson since 1898, and Ib probably one of the men best able to speak authoritatively on the subject. In the course of an Intorvlew, he said: "Unless the rain fall is very light for the remainder of the season this year's gold output from Dawson will be about tho same as that of last year, and Will be, I should say, about $10,000,000. Thero have been years In the past when the output was nearly double that amount, but It is not to be Inferred that the Dawson district Is worked out. Such Is far from being true, and the resources of that country as a whole have only begun to be touched. "The whole country from the Peace river north to the Artie Is rich In gold. All we need is a railroad to distribute supplies and you will see a stream of gold flow out of that territory thut will muke the eurly discoveries seem very small. At present mining operations cannot be carried on far from Dawson on account of there being no way to secure transportation for the supplies needed. Given a railroad, the territory will soon havo twenty Dawsons. Mining In and about Dawson mny be said to be In the earliest stsges. For the most pnrt the mines aro only on the beginning of development while the older properties, such as those located on Bonanza, and Eldorado creeks, although not worked out are approaching It. Tho mines of tho future will He along Dominion creek and Stewart river. At least that would ; seem probable, at present, but, us I sny, I tho whole region is rich In mineral. j "These Is nothing unusual in the gold conditions in Dawson this year; everything Is very much the same as last your. Improvements are under way at present, however, thnt will lift the gold production higher In the future. One thing Indispensable to mining In Alaska is water. Wo muBt have wnter, nnd so far this year, while we have had rain In places, It does not seem to havo fallen where It hns been most needed. As it Is there will probnbly be a shortage In production, but on the whole I hardly believe that the total output will fall much, If any, below that of last year." CHARGED WITH LARCENY. New York, Aug. ft—Detectives today arrested Jos. Cowan, a broker, who livee at Matuchen, N. J., on a charge of larceny of $53,000, which ho Is sold to havo appropriated to his own use between March 10th, 1902, and tho present time. The compluln- nnt Is Blanch II. Smith, of Milwaukee.

RIDDEN DOWN AND TRAMPLED UNDER HORSES' FEET. London, Aug, 6.—The Dally Mali's Nikola Iff correspondent under date of August 2nd, fully confirms the Times' correspondent's accounts of strikes ln south Russia. Groups of men, who assembled last Saturday wltb the Intention of holding a meeting, were driven into a solid mass by soldiers, about 2,000 strikers being enclosed. The Cossacks rode through them, striking right and left with heavy whips, tbe fallen men being trampled undei* the horses' feet. "When the living mass had been thoroughly kneaded to the governor's will," continues the correspondent, "numerous men were arrested as suspicious agitators. It Is reported that 400 strikers were seriously injured, and that from six to a dozen succumbed. The whole affair Is a typical piece of administrative savagery. The extraordinary feature of the movement at Odessa Is that the police and gendarmes belonging to the depot threatened to throw off their uniforms and risk all the terrors of Insubordination unless the miserable pittance of 11 to 14 pence which they are allowed dally was Increased and the hours of labor reduced." Siberia is losing its terrors even for Russian, policemen. "The epidemic of Incendiarism Is spreading through Russia. Scarcely a day passes without news of conflagrations. In 24 of the largest towns the damage by fire during the past month Is estimated at from 130,000.000 to ?35,- 000,000. The object of the bulk of the fires is to get insurance money. Many of the incendiaries are Jews, and the insurance companies In some cases have raised premiums 50 per cent."

He Is now In the hands of the Seattle police, to whom when arrested he gave the name of Frank Humboldt, alias George Vanasselt Not only has he freely confessed his part in the Llppy affair, but he boastfully admits participation In numerous other crimes, ranging from pocket picking to train robbery, and seems to glory in his evil notoriety. He refuses to disclose the Identity of his companions, although he has led the officers tt. the cache of the stolen property and thus enabled it to be restored to Mr. Llppy. Van Horst from his early boyhood has been bad, the natural criminal Instinct is happily seldom found so strongly developed.

Edward Blake, M. P. for South Longford, who retires on account of ill health. It is not likely that there will be any adjournment of the argument. It will be proceeded with on September 3rd. AT THE NICKEL PLATE. Underground Work Has Been Resumed —New Contract With Smelter. Rossland, Aug. 6.—Active underground work has been resumed at the Nickel Plate mine. The bone of contention between this mine and the Centre Star through excessivo seepage into the Centre Star workings Is to be obviated by the construction of heavy brick bulkheads at the western terminals of the Nickel Plate drifts on the 400 and 600- foot levels. It will bo remembered that this matter was the origin of litigation started a few months ago by the Centre Star. The Intter company will stnrt mining operations. The present contract with tho Northport smelter expires on the 16th instant, nnd a new contract at probably considerably lower rates, wlilch will render available for shipment largo bodies of ore blocked out ln the mine, together with the dump, containing 20,000 tons of $12 ore that has accumulated In past years. A LONG COLD RIDE. [Special to The Dally News.] Winnipeg, Aug. 6.—When the freight checkers opened a Canadian Pacific refrigerator car here yesterday they found a man named Henry Orayston concealed therein. Grayston was hidden in the car at Halifax and came through with the car on a passenger train. He was charged at the police station with beating his way without a ticket, bu the magistrate released him with a warning. OFF TO THE PICNIC.

Mclnnes had raised a campaign fund of 150,000 during his recent visit to the east. The conservative papers all over the province are reproducing the story with embellishments. The Rossland Miner has it that the liberals have sold out to certain rich corporations and with the proceeds of the sale propose to debauch the electors of British Columbia next October. As there will be at least 50,000 registered voters participating tn the next campaign, the debauch will have to be conducted upon strictly temperate lines. Nonsense of this sort Is presumably all the conservative papers have to offer their readers upon the eve of an Important political campaign. Their leader, premier McBrlde, has announced that his government will he sustained, so that there is nothing for the tory papers to do but to sling mud at their opponents when nbt engagdd In abusing prominent members of their own party. The Rossland Miner displays marvellous ignorance of provincial politics when it suggests that tbe electors will return tbe conservative party with a good working majority, "because they are determined to have an honest government." If there has ever been any dishonesty on the part of past provincial administrations, the blame must rest chiefly with the conservative party. Anyone who knows anything of provincial poll' tics knows that for the past 15 years conservatives have controlled the administration. If corporations have been unduly favored, the blame rests with the conservatives. If public resources have been squandered or Improperly alienated, tbe blame rests with the conservatives. So far as this province is concerned the electors have not the least justification to look for any peculiarly honest form of government from the conservative party. It may be, and we are quite willing to believe so, that under the changed conditions of straight party lines the conservatives will adopt new methods, but past experience has taught sis that so long aB conservatives were in power in this province their principal efforts were directed towards the exploitation of tbe public assets for the benefit of a privileged few. PROVINCIAL FINANCES. It Is a question open to very serious doubt whether the decision of tbe McBrlde government to defer calling the legislature together until January next Is a wise one or not. It is well known tbat the financial condition of the province is not such as we should wish It to he. It Is known tbat there was a large overdraft at the bank, that a loan was floated at more or less cost to the people to liquidate that Indebtedness to the bank and to be used for other proposes. Part of the overdraft; was wiped out, part of the loan was realized and financial affairs were ln a transition stage when the Prior government went out of business and tbe second edition of the same joblot seized upon the sweets of offlce. What the country would like to know is, is that overdraft paid off yet or are we still paying Interest upon it and the loan too, which was to have got rid of both the principal and the interest it had been drawing? Has the whole ot tbe proceeds of tbe loan been realized and' transferred to the provincial coffers? If so, what is the government doing with it? It not, why not? And again, if it is all realized and the government are not doing anything with it, is it sound financiering to be paying interest upon Idle money? If It is not lying Idle and unproductive, what disposition has been mnde ot it and on what authority? If It hap not yet all been realized, is it sound financiering to be paying Interest upon money that is still ln the hands of tiie underwriters and investors? In other words, what the people of British I Columbia want to know Is the financial position of the province, and it is scarcely reasonable to expect everyone to remain content until it may Please the government to make a statement of affairs. Had the present government acceded to office as a result of the mandate of the people It would have been an altogether different question. But they have not received any such mandate. They took office by fraud, by a trickster's coup, and they cannot marvel that there is little or no confidence reposed in them or their administration of affairs. In view of the peculiar circumstances that attended tbeir falling Into pleasant places an earlier calling of the legislature after the elections would have been more ln keeping with the mood of the people. It may be, however, that tbe present government realized tbat the elections would not result in a manner satisfactory to their hopes and ambitions and in the vain hope ot hanging on to office as long aB decency would permit they deferred the calling of the legislature until the time mentioned. In the meantime it is scarcely fair for the minister of finance to keep his predecessor ln office In ignorance, In common with the rest of the province of course, of the manner in which he has arranged the broken threads left by Mr. Prentice. With Its vast resources British Columbia should never have been so seriously handicapped, financially, as it has been, nor should it be a difficult task to rid the province of the burden incompetent administration has saddled it with. EDITORIAL NOTES. Ontario conservatives are to hold a big picnic shortly. They have Invited premier Roblln, of Manitoba, to attend. Apropos of this invitation the Toronto Telegram (conservative) remarks: "If bon. R. P. Roblln represents tbe Ideals of Ontario conservatives these partisans have no right to pretend that their ideals offer hope ot good government to the people of this province. And if hon. R. P. Roblln does not represent tbe ideals of Ontario conservatives, be has no business at their picnic." It must be borne in mind by all who wish to come to a sound opinion about the Grand Trunk Pacific contract that the government Is to build and own the line from Moncton to Winnipeg; that through its guarantee of interest, secured by a lien, it becomes part owner of the line from Winnipeg to the Pacific ocean; tbat through its railway commission it will be In a position to exercise a moderating and controlling influence on traffic charges; that it will have a great deal to do with the determination ot routes and the character of the railway; that it stands In a good position to guard the public interest ln connection with the whole project from its inception to Its completion as an undertaking, and during tbe whole period of its practical operation as a common carrier. If we compare this contract of 1903 with the contract ot 1881, we see at a glance the enormous distance through which he have progressed during less than a quarter of a century. Where we shall be in 1925 no one can say, but this proposed legislation in the opinion of the Toronto Globe Indicates clearly where we are now and whither we are drifting. POPLAR CREEK EXCURSION Sunday's All Daylight Run to and from tho New Goldllelds. Nelson people will have a great op portunity next Sunday to make an all daylight trip to the now famous Poplar creek, and Incidentally to obtain many passing glimpses of the finest scenery to be viewed within a day's run from this city. The northern end of Kootenay lake is admittedly the finest portion of that magnificent stretch of water from a scenic standpoint, and while the trip up to Kaslo is familiar and almost commonplace to most city residents, the journey from Kaslo to Lardo Is a comparatively seldom taken route by many, and at this season of the year the scenery is to he viewed at Its best. Sections of the lake readily recall to eastern Canadians the towering mountains which overhang the banks of the far tamed Saguenay river below Quebec, and It would be difficult to equal some ot the Pictures seen from the deck of the Kokanee as the steamer nears the northern end of the lake. From Lardo to Gerrard the C. P. R. line runs through the valley of the Lardeau river with the dense forest rlB- Ing on either side of the line. Down the hills come many bawling creeks and streams and the whole picture is full of color and Interesting beyond word painting. Poplar creek is about a 17- mlle run from Lardo and once there the oxcurslonlBt will have no difficulty in passing the short stay made in an interesting way.

At Lardo and tn the streams in the immediate neighborhood trout abound and the Lardo men frown at Nelson fish stories and say, "We use the kind you rave about for bait."

JOHN BOYLE O'REILLY. A Monument In Memory of This Gifted Irish Patriot Unveiled. Dublin, Aug. 6.—A handsome monument erected in memory of John Boyle O'Reilly, the gifted Irish patriot and writer, who was as well known ln America as in his native land, has just been unveiled with Interesting ceremony in a quiet little churchyard near Drog- heda, the scene of his birth and early life. The monument, which stands some 1 4feet high, takes the form of a beautiful Celtic cross with a marble bust. On either side ot the bust are symbolic figures, one representing Erin and the other America. The inscription, which is In Irish characters, reads thus: "John Boyle O'Reilly, hero, poet, orator, faithful to freedom and to Ireland. He bore oppression's doom in prison and fn exile with noble fortitude ;a banished man, his heart was here amidst the woods and vales of his youth. Here In this spot he hoped he should rest at last in the land he loved. O God, grant rest eternal to his soul, for he served Ireland." On the base of tbe monument it is recorded that he was born at Doutb, June 28th, 1844, and that he died at Hull, near Boston, Massachusetts, on August 10th, 1890. VEBY REMARKABLE CURE OP DIARRHOEA. "About six years ago for tho first time tn my life I had a sudden and severe attack of diarrhoea," says Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas. "I got temporary relief, but it came bock again and again, and for six long years I have suffered more misery and agony than I can tell. It was worse than death. My husband spent hundreds of dollars for physicians' prescriptions and treatment without avail. Finally we moved to Bosque county, our present home, and ono day I happened to see an. advertisement of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with a testimonial of a man who had been cured by It. The case was so similar to my own that I concluded to try the remedy. The result was wonderful. I could hardly realize that I was well again, or believe It could be so after having suffered so long, but that one bottle of medicine, costing but a few cents, cured me."

AT THE EXPENSE OF THE AMERICAN WAGE-WORKER. - London, Aug. 6.—In handing over to fifteen representative citizens of his native town Dumfermllne, who were Ilia guests at Ski tbo castle early this week, a trust deed transferring to them $2,500,000 In iivo per cent bonds of the United Btatcs Steel Cor- lioratlon, and Plttencerleft park, Andrew Carnegie explained the objects ho hnd ln view, In these words: ■ **It Ib an experiment, the objects of which is to attempt to Introduco Into the monotonous lives of the toiling masseB of Dumfermllne more of sweetness and light; to give them, especially the young, somo elevating conditions of life which their residence elsewhere would have de* nled them." Mr. Carnegie said ho had provided for this experiment in his will moro thnn 20 years ago, but his retirement from business enabled him to put the scheme into operation during his lifetime. The problem set to the trustees was, ".What can bo dono in towns to benefit the masses by money ln the hands of the most public spirited citizens?" Mr. Carnegie exorted the trustees not to be afraid of making mistakes, to try many things freely but to discard just as freely, keeping in touch with tho masses and give Dumfermllno something beyond what was possessed by other cities. PORLAND CEMENT FROM SLAG. Portland cement has been mado from blast-furnace slag for several years In various cement works In Germany, Luxemburg, and Belgium, and has yielded very satisfactory results, especially In regard to quality. Negotiations are being carried on with some blast-furnace works with a " view to the introduction of the Blag-cement IndUBtry Into England, Austria, and France. In some respects a blast works has a considerable advantage over other Portland cement factories because the motive power for tho cement works can be supplied by a blast-furnace gas motor with electric transmission, the rubble or waBte coke from the blnst furnaces can be utilized In the cement kiln, and the principal raw materlals-namoly, the granulated slag and the limestone—are close at hand. BesldeB, there are other minor advantages. Porland stag, cement has also some advantages over natural Portland cement; for, whllo the yield from the raw materials when the former Is used Is about 80 per cent, the yield when the ordinary raw materials are used is seldom more than 60 per cent. As the cost of production per ton of raw materials Is nearly equal In both cases, saving of about 20 per cent ln fuel, labor, etc., Is effected In the caso of slag cemont. Besides this, Portland sing cement Is more trustworthy and more regular, and Its manufacture can be more easily controlled than that of the so-called natural Portland cement, because the principal raw material—namely, the blast-furnace slag—is, as a rule, a regular product whose chemical composition Is easily controlled; consequently, any alterations which nro liable to take place are known beforehand and precautions can accordingly be taken ln time. This Is not the case when the natural raw materials are used. Some recent tests with Portland cement from blast-furnace slag, made in the municipal laboratory at Vienna, showed that mortar composed of three parts of Band with one part of this cement gave the following results: 1, After seven days' hardening. Tensile strength, 883 pounds per square inch; strength of compression, 3,880 pounds per square Inch. 2. After twenty-eight days' hardening. Tensile strength, 661 pounds per square Inch; strength of compression, 5,411 pounds per square lnch.-Bclentlfto American. CHOLERA INFANTUM. This has long been regarded as one of the most dangerous and fatal diseases to which Infanta are subject. It can be cured however, when properly treated. All that is necessary Is to give Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and castor oil, as directed with each bottle, and a cure Is certain. For sale by all Druggists and Dealers.

The purity of the oils and fats and the absence of free alkali prevent that m BRITAIN NEEDS IRON ORE BRITISH IRON MAKERS WANT TO KNOW WHERE TO PROCURE IT THEY SHOULD INVESTIGATE BRITISH COLUMBIA DEPOSITS. The fact is most significant that the British Iron Trade association has asked the government to Instruct Its consular officials throughout the world to collect Information and report on the Iron ore resources of many countries with a view to assist British iron makers In their search for the raw materials needed to carry on the Industry. In Its letter to the prime ministers the association has suggested the appointment of a royal commission to Inquire Into tho question of raw materials and to collect through the consuls all facts relating to the iron ore supplies which It concerns the buyer and the user of such ore to know. "Th'is application," says the New York Marine Review, "illustrates the changed position of Great Britain as an Iron manufacturer. It was not many year? ngo that the British boasted of the great advantage they enjoyed In the fact that their Iron ore, coal and the limestone needed for fluxing were near together so thnt they could turn pig Iron out of their blast furnaces more cheaply than any other country. In the great Iron ore districts of Cleveland, south Scotland, Staffordshire and Lincolnshire the ore and coal were side by side, while in no district of the kingdom were they separated by more than 100 miles and in hardly any district by more than fifty or sixty miles. "On the othor hand, In the United States the ores and tho coal were generally about 1,000 miles apart, except In Alabama; and In Germany the bulk of the oro had to bo carried by rail to tho coal over distances varying from 100 to 150 miles. Today, however, Great Britain Is bringing millions of tons of Iron ore thousands of miles to her coal, and the reason is interesting. Great Britain still possesses enormous resources of iron ore. But a great change has occurred In all the iron markets. Tho use of Iron Is decreasing, while the demand for steel is growing every year. A very large variety of articles once mnde of Iron are now made of steel, and the fact Is deeply regretted by nil British manufacturers that the larger part of their native Iron ores contains too much phosporous for the production of Iron suitable for the manufacture of Bessemer and Siemens steel. "The most Important Iron oro district of the kingdom Is the Cleveland district, near the east coast, south of Newcnstle. Until about twenty years ago the Iron ore from which Its millions of tons of pig Iron wero annually produced came almost wholly from the hills of tho Cleveland region. Today, however, tho vast demand for the highest quality of steel-making Iron compete the Importation of large quantities of foreign hematite oro, wlilch Is now used in Cleveland to the extent of nenrly 3,000,000 tons a year. "The samo change has also overtaken Scotland, where, until about fifteen years ngo, the Iron produced wub almost wholly from local ores, whereas now nearly one- half of It Is mnde from ores Imported in order to provide a qunllty of pig iron suited to the demands of the local steel works. Scotland produces a considerable quantity of hematite oro, but nothing is more certain than that in tho near future Scotland must rely Increasingly upon imported ores. "The most Important Iron-mnklng district after Cleveland Is the west const; that Is to say, west Cumberland nnd northwest Lancashire. The total product of pig iron In this district exceeds 1,600,000 tons yearly, nnd that of steel Is from 700,000 to 750,000 tons. The pig is chiefly produced from local hematite ores, this being the only Important center of such ores in the British Isles, but the local supplies havo in tho past thre or four years been largely supplemented by imports of hematite oreB from foreign countries. "The fact that Germany todny Ib producing more steel, though not more pig iron, than Groat Britain is due to the poverty In steel-making ores of the British Isles. The result, therefore, of that substitution of steel for iron In many manufactures Is that Great Britain can no longer Bay that tho supplies tor Its blast furnaces aro near together. Nearly tho wholo of the ore for the most Important form of iron that is used in the manufacture of Bessemer steel or mild steel Is brought 1,000 miles over the sea from Spain. Somo of It comes from other countries, but Spain Is the largest Bource of supply. It haa been evident for some time that the mines of north Spain will not for many years longer bo equal to the demands of Great Brltnln nnd, to a less extent, Germany are making upon them. Evidences of approaching exhaustion are already npparcnt in somo of the best Spanish districts. It is an Imperative necessity that Great Britain should secure other sources of supply of hematite ores. Another fact that has helped to wrest the supremacy In iron nnd steel from Great Britain is that richer ores are found nnd worked In some foreign lands. Even the best Cumberland nnd Lancashire hematite ores have but 57 per cent of Iron, while the Cleveland ore Is very much leaner. Our Lake Superior ores, on the other hand, contain from 59 to 05 per cent, of iron, whllo the Gellevara mines of northern Sweden give a 68 per cent iron. "Thus It happens that Great Britain, which had always held tho premier position among iron-producing countries, has lost Its supremacy. Thirteen yenrs ngo the United States wreBted the lead from Great Britain, and, except for two yenrs, hns held It ever since, Fifteen yenrs ngo the British production of oro wns double thnt of the United States. But the British have now been left far behind, nnd there Is every Indication thnt within a very few yenrs, the blnst furnaces of this country will produce far more thnn twice ns much Iron as thoso of Great Britain." /sghlV There is no beverage more healthful thaS the right kind of beer.

Pierre llnchel Souplot, writing on tho Intelligence of birds nnd animals, relates a remnrknble accomplishment on tho part of n parrot. Ho admits thnt the bird was nn exceptionally clover specimen, and ho considers ItR achievements indicates tho high walermnrk of psychical possibilities ns far as pnrrots are concerned. He taught Polly to use the words "cupboard" and "ladder," and as he climbed tho ladder he had succeeded in inducing the bird to articulate the word "climb." Every day when the bird was brought Into the laboratory a smnll cupboard was opened and Polly helped herself to hemp- seed. One day, however, Instead of the cupboard being placed where she could reach it, It was hauled up near the ceiling, and the ladder was placed among several other articles In the corner of the room. The question to be deslded was whether the bird, seeing that the cupboard wns out of M. Hachet Souplet's reach, would have sufficient intelligence to use words It knew in their proper sequence. The first day's experiment wns a failure. The parrot screeched "cupboard," "cupbonrd," beating its wings and biting the bars of Its cnge In nnger, but it got no further. That day the bird received millet, which It did not care for; tho hempseed, which it wns very fond of, being locked up in the cupboard. Next day Polly was in a greater tempor than ever, and after a desperate effort to break through the bars of her cage sho finally caught sight of tho cupboard near the celling. Instantly enme the words, "Ladder—climb—cupboard," and Polly having learned her lesson the cupboard was brought down and she was rewarded with aome hempseed. M. Hachet Souplet looked upon this Incident ns a proof of the association of Ideas In the bird's mind, as no one had ever taught the parrot the phrase she created. VALUABLE TIME SAVED.

NELSON'S NEWS OF THE DAY Register your vote. It cost J. Fred Hume* four bits yesterday for the following wire and he la still wondering what it means: "Proctor, Aug. ■it 1j_—Dear Mr. Hume: Please send us same booze. We are sick and cannot get any metlcine. Slwash Ferguson and Tllll- cums." Minors returning from Moyle complain that very little Is being done at the St. Eugene mine as yet A small force is at work cleaning up, but men are not being taken on yet, and there Is still uncertainty us to the exact date on which operations on a large scale will be commenced . Two more rafts of logs have been added to the Immense boom of the Kootenay Kfver Lumber company at Nelson. Tho boom now extends from the mill at the city wharf to the foot of Park street. Half a dozen men are now employed getting tho logs in shape for handling when work Is resumed. Register your vote. W. J. H. Holmes, tlio well known Kalso surveyor, was In town yesterday. Tho Ymir voters* list now contains 1*22 names. It will probably react) 1,000 before the 14th. A meeting of the Independent Labor party Is called for this evening ut 8 o'clock ut tho Miners1 Union ball. The liberal nominating convention for tlio Ymlr electoral district will be held at Falrview on Thursday next, August 13th. The fish at Granite and Beasley are again commencing to bite in a satisfactory manner and fishermen who are more anxious to catch fish than as to the number caught are not likely to be disappointed there. The water in the river at both polntB has now subsided to a stage at which many of the favorite pools are again accessible. A carload of tomatoes, melons, apples and other fruit was received yesterday from Washington by J. Y. Griffin & Co. Melons are now coming In freely from tbe south and In another week the local supply will also commence to arrive. The melons grown locally although not as large as the Washington and Californian flrult, compare very favorably with them In Jiavor. There are a few local apples and tomatoes on the market, but it will be another fortnight before they come In any quantity. The local tomato crop, owing to tho exceptionally wet summer, will not be a Jnrgo one, but apples and plums will be quite plentiful. The wholesalers generally report business as steadfly Improving, nnd that larger orders are coming In than was the case last year at this time. It Is not unlikely that a deal will be made shortly on the second extension of the California mine, on Toad mountain. The California was purchased several years ago from its original owner, W. Moore, of Nelson, by Mackenzie & Mann, but although a most promising property has been allowed to lie idle ever Bince. Thero Is a four foot lead of free milling gold ore running through the property, and a large amount of development work had been done on It previous to its transfer. Early this year Mr. Moore secured the second claim below the California and atter considerable ground sluicing he uncovered the California lead which crosses the property almost in the centre. Local parties aro at present examining the property nnd If satisfactory arrangements are mado it will be worked. Unless the weather turns much warmer than it is at present the public schools will reopen on Monday, August 10th. In previous years, whenever tho weather at the opening time has been very warm, tho holidays havo been extended for another week or ten days by special permission of the department, but unless the temperature takes a big jump before Monday morning and then stays up, the school doors will reopen at nine o'clock and the now session will commence. Nearly all the teachers aro away at present, but will be returning today or on Saturday. This Is the first summer for years that extensions have not been made to the school buildings to accommodate the growth tn the number of scholars for the fall session, but the last extension made Is sufficient to meet tbe present demands. Miss Grace Crosby, well known in musical circles In tho city for the past six months, left yesterday for her home ut CliUUwack. Nearly twenty passengers camo through from Spokane last evening bound for the Poplar creek goldflelds. All go north on the steamer Kokanee this afternoon. Thomas Morris, one of the oldest residents of Hamilton, Ont., und the father of Mrs. M. S. Logan, of Nelson, died at his home in the former city today. A meeting of the board of directors of the Agricultural society will be held thla' evening at 8 o'clock at the city hall. Tenders for the erection of the main building rfor tho fall fair will then be opened and considered. G. Raymond Payne, representing the Chicago Mining World, Is spending a few days In town. He will make a trip through the Lardeau, Slocan, Rossland and Boundary districts In tho interests of his paper before returning to Chicago, Tom Collins leaves today to try his luck on Poplar creek. Tom Is ono of the oldest prospectors In tho Kootenay and If thero Is anything worth locating In that much talked of locality he Is pretty suro to get hold of something worth while. J. H. Hawthornthwalte, ex-M.P.P., the socialist organizer, Is expected to stump Greenwood riding for the socialists ln a few days. Then it Is intended to have him take up Grand Forks riding, reaching Phoenix probably on or about Lnbor Day. Tho locks and othor fittings for the postofllce boxes arrived yesterday from Montreal and will be placed in position at the new building as quickly as possible. Contractor Lemoine is at Rossland at present, but Is expected back tomorrow to superintend tho work. G. B. McLaughlin, manager of tho Nelson lacrosse club, left yesterday morning for Spokane to arrange for a match to be played at Spokane during the fair. If possible a strong American team will be matched against the Nelson team, or If this can not bo arranged a coast team will be brought up. F. W. Ferguson and E. H, Sheppard returned yesterday after a short fishing trip to the Narrows bringing with them such a string of trout that some of their friends and acquaintances accuse them of having made a deal with the Indians for tho lot. There were over a score of large trout, somo of them running well over two pounds each In weight. Tbe fittings of the handsome altar presented to the church of Mary Immaculate by Rev. father Althoff In celebration of his jubilee as a priest last June have all been completed and the whole now presents a truly magnificent appearance. The structure Is so artistic lhat a large number of people of other denominations have visited the church since the altar wns completed to view It. The colors It Is decorated In are gold and white, and at the base Is a large statuette representation of the lust supper. The financial district meeting of the West Kootenay district of the Methodist church will be held at Nelson, on Thursday, August 27th. Rev. 3. F. Betts, of Grand Forks, chairman, will preside. All tho Methodist members of the district will bo In attendance, and there will also be a large number of lay delegates. Only routine business will be transacted at the day session, but In tho evening there will be a, public mass meeting with Interestng addresses by Revs. J. D. p. Knox, of Greenwood; Jas. Calvert, New Denver, and R. Forbes StIIlman, of Rossland. Tho subject of the addresses will be the Wesley bl-centenary. When the steamer Kokanee pulled Into the city wharf last evening at 8.45 p.m., It was completely filled with a tired but happy crowd of children with their parents and friends, comprising those who attended the annual picnic of St Saviour's church. All were united fn saying that the day had passed off delightfully ln every respect. Charles A. Waterman looked after the children's sports at Procter, and as usual carried these out to the huge delight of all the youngsters. Numerous baskets of fish were brought ln by the plcnlcers, among the lot being five large speckled trout caught by Miss Norma Manning, of Winnipeg, who Is visiting friends In Nelson. The rector and officers of the Sunday school state that they wish to express their appreciation of the courtesy and kindness of captain Seaman and officers of the boat for the manner In which they made al] the big crowd comfortable on the steamer, and in other ways assisted In making tho picnic such a success.
