Serious Floods Prevailing in Indiana and Ohio. MUlersburg, Ohio, April 2.—The floods here have again put the Cleveland, Akron & Columbus and llie Baltimore & Ohio railroads out of business. No trains have reached that place since Thursday night. Travel by wagon road from the west bas been shut off by the washing away of two bridges. Evansvlllo, Indiana, April 2.—The Ohio river at this point la rising again, showing 39.50 feet, and Is expected to go two feet higher as a rise from above is coming, nnd Green and Barren rivers are both bankfull. The Evansvllle & . Terre Haute road, which has heen tied up for nearly a week, began sending trains through over its lines today, Indianapolis, April 2.-—A3arm prevailed here today becnuso of tho continued rise of White river ond Pogus- 1*118, the Imekwaters of which again flood ed the waterworks pumping station, crippled street traffic and threatened to duplicate the damage done in the floods of last week. Tonight the watet3 are receding and no further apprehension is feared. THE MINES OF ROSSLAND THE SHIPMENTS FOR THE WEEK AVERE 7,712 TONS. OPERATIONS ON SEVERAL PROPERTIES TO RE RESUMED. Rossland, April 2.—Spring has set in vigorously in Rossland and the snow Is going off fast. Tlio breaking up of tho roads necessitated the suspension of shipping from the Jumbo and Kootenay mines, but at the Jumbo a crew of 10 men Is retained permanently on development. No. l mine resumes early in the week and at tho Le Rol No, 2 the Elmoro oil concentrator stai-ts up during tho week. A delayed consignment of oil is expected dally and hereafter tho mill will be run continuously. Tho While Boar company has placed Initial orders for tlio timbers and machinery required for tho concentrator building, and a start will be mado soon. Thoro is no frost in tlio groujid here, which will facilitate can early start on construction work. Shipments for the week ending: tonight nre: Le Rol, 5,162 tons; Centre Stnr, 1,020; Wnr Eagle, GDOj Jumbo, 100; Lo Roi No. 2, 060; Whito Rear 100, Total for the week, 7.712 tons; and for tho year to date, 117*831 tons. The list Of quiescent mines likely to re- sumo operations within tho next two or threo mouths or earlier, now embraces tho following: Iron Mask. Cliff, Dine Bird, Iron Colt. Monte Crlsto and Velvet. Theso properties have been closed down for periods ranging from cue to four years, in the course of which conditions affecting mining costs havo been almost revolutionized. The merits of tlio uespeotivb properties havo been demonstrated by development. Work and In most Instances their success, if started Is almost guaranteed, The Iron Musk is among the best known mines of the camp. It is controlled"by D. C. Corbln, of Spokane, who foreclosed a mortgago for almost $00,000 a couple of years ago and has since been getting matters In shape for a resumption. The mine has produced a largo tonnage of high grade pro, but Mr. Corbln is authority for the statement that an outlay of $so,000 will bo required for Improvements and new equipment beforo the mine again ships ore. The Bluo Bird Is a promising properly adjoining the Ho'mostako, In the south belt, hence specini interest attaches to its probable resumption, About four years ago a carload of $8 ore was shipped from a surface cut on the property. Tho difference between John R. Cook and colonel s. II. Wharton, who control the Cliff mlno, is historic in Rossland, nnd Is Iho reason for the? Iqng period of Inactivity at the mlno. Tho Cliff Is well developed with horizontal workings and has shipped ore of good grade. The Monte Crista will* probably be opened up for Its iron ore, now In demand at tlio smelters, and this applies also to Ihe Iron Colt. Tho date of the resumption at the Velvet-Portland property is not fixed, but will probably be governed by the passing of the snow. Quantities of machinery require to be teamed* to the mine for tho completion of tho concentrating works partly built and for tho flre concentrator to handle tho bulk of tho mlno product, The lessees of the I, X. L. mine have ■completed 'arran^einonts with the Old National Bank or Spokano for the O. It mill, and expect to start milling within ten days. The men have about 2,000 tons of ore, broken down in the mine. THE COAL OF COLEMAN SEAMS THAT ARE EIGHTEEN FEET IN THICKNESS. OUTPUT TO BE INCREASED TO 2,000 TONS A DAY. Grand Forks, April 2.—James R. Elliott, of Elliott & Baton, consulting coal mining engineers, of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, bas arrived here from Coleman, Alberta, where the colliery of the International Coal & Coke Co. is located. His firm secured the contract last fall for designing and installing a $150,001) plant for the International company, of which A. C. Flumerfelt, of Victoria, is It resident. "Good progress ln opening Up the mine is being made," said Mr. Elliott. "The main gangway is now in 1,000 feet on No. 2 seam and crosscuttlng lo four other parallel seams will soon bo started. Within a month rooms will he driven off, thus increasing the output very materially. The production now amounts lo 150 tons per day, the entire work, pending the installation of tho plant being done by hand. Tbe plant is designed to maintain an output-of 2,000 tons daily and within threo months one half of that output will be maintained. A larger tonnage cannot be bandied until the "tipple nnd the remainder of llie surface plant is Installed. A considerable portion of the machinery has arrived and the remainder is in transit. The completion of the first battery of ovens will bo undertaken as soon as the frost lenves the ground. "The bituminous coal measures of the International Coal & Coko Company," added Mr, Elliott, "are ihe largest I have seen. They have no equal in Pennsylvania, the largest seam in the famous Connelsvllle region being nine feet thick, while one or the seams at Coleman is easily eighteen feel in thickness. The Coleman coal Is clean, being free from slate and other foreign substances. The output of ihe International Company will only he limited by the number of plants the company may choose to I build. The measures at Coleman are especially adapted for cheap mining as there will be no shaft minings for several generations. Unlike the conditions prevailing in Pennsylvania the coal at Coleman can he mined and extracted by gravity. As the mines will be self- draining no pumping plant need be maintained. The plant will be of the most modern and complete description, compressed air being used In haulage of ore cars. Electrical machinery will also be utilized very extensively. I have no hesitation in declaring that the International Company will soon he In a position to mine coal and manufacture coke equal to the best in the world as cheaply as any mine in the United States." WHERE FARMERS DOWELL NBLSON DISTRICT HAS A VERY * FRUITFUL SOIL, THOUSANDS OF FRUIT TREES TO BE PLANTED THIS YEAR. "Tliis yoar between 20,000'and 25,000 fruit trees will be set out in tho vicinity of Nelson," said a gentleman yesterday, who keeps in close touch with the horticultural Interests hi this vlel,nity. Continuing, he said: "I believe thero are already 20,000 fruit trees in tho district, which are from two to six yoar old. When those 45,000 trees get to hearing- they should produce ample fruit for local requirements, As fine fruit as can- bo raised anywhere In tho dominion can be raised In tho valley of tho west arm of Kootenay lake, along tho Kootenny river, and along Kootenay lake. Trees will continue to be planted until tbe valley is a vast 'orchard and then thoro will be- so much fruit that It will be shipped West to the coast and east tn Manitoba and the territories. 1). A. McDonald bad some apple trees last year from which he got as ninny as II boxes of line apples, which ho disposed of In thla market, for $1.76 a, box. lie raises Graven steins, Alexandres and other fine apples. As for potato land Mr, McDonald has some thnt is hard to boat. For Instance, on one flere last yoar be raised TH, bushels of potatoes. Ho has 125 acres out of 160 In which he can run a plow from one end to the other as it is cleared and in splendid condition for fanning of all sorts. "The farming and fruit growing 'interests arc growing rapidly nnd this section will soon be noted for what It will raise." "Jlow many farmers and fruit misers are there in the Nelson district? I should think that there are between 200 n.nd !t00. This year o great many will put in good smed patehOfl, and 1 oxpoct that fruits and vegetables will be very plentiful in a few months. Each year there will be an Increase In the quantity produced, "Is Micro a profit fn the business? Certainly there Is where it is properly carried on. Of course If a man goes onto an uncleared plnce with ,no capital it lakes sometime for Id in to get sufficient land cleared to make anything more than _ a living. After, however, from 10 lo 20 acres arcjoloared nnd under cultivation li beats working for wages, as n mnn Is his own boss and will have moro clear money at the ond of Ihe year than if he worked for someone else. There is good reason for Hits, as (lie farmer and fruit raiser get more for tholr products than they could in almost any other part of Canada, and there is always a market for all thoy can raise. The soil Is very prolific, With the conditions all In their favor there is nothing lo prevent fanners and fruit raisers who understand their business from making money." SCENE IN DREYFUS CASE. Du Patty do Clam Compelled to Surrender A Document. Paris, April 3.—An exciting scone occurred today before the criminal chamber, which is investigating the Dreyfus case.

A Nelson man returning lo the elty last night on tho delayed Boundary train wus Indignant at what he termed the Inhospitably of tho C. P. R. He asserted that when the train struck a snowsllde near the Bulldog tunnel, he and n number of other passengers volunteered to help cloar the track as otherwise there wns little prospect of getting through for somo hours, They all turned Ln and worked hard and were assured of a good supper when thoy got through their work. Whon tho train started again and tho men went Into tho dining ear, they were not only ,not given a supper but wore told when Ihey offered to pay for a meal that "supper was off," and they bad to wait until long after midnight wben they reached this city and got something to OOSt, Tho Nelson mnn wns angry and said that it would bo a long lime before bo again volunfenrcd to help out tho C.

CAPTAIN NOT BLAMED Vicksburg Commander Not Asked to Join in Chemulpo Protest After .the Russian Vessels Were Defeated He Sent a Boat to Rescue the Seamen Odessa, April 2.—Before proceeding for the survivors of the wrecked Russian war vessels Variag and Korietz, captain Stephanoff made a statement to the Associated Press regarding the United States gunboat. Vicksburg incident at. Chemulpo. He said: "All tho time the Vicksburg was stationed at Chemulpo her captain held aloof. He took no part in the conference of protest preceding the fight for the simple reason that he was not invited to do so. After the fight, like the others, he sent a surgeon with a boat to the rescue. As regards his not taking the Russian sea* men aboard, Ibis was unnecessary, and It is more than probable that captain Rudineff, commanding the Variag, did not ask lt." The celebration hern in honor of tho survivors from the Variag and Korietz was concluded with a great banquet to the officers of the ships in the city hall and lo the spamen in the barracks. At the conclusion of the banquets the guests were escorted by bands and cheering multitudes aboard tiie steamer Nicholas, which sailed at 4 o'clock for Sebas- topol. ARE A TABOOED CLASS.

RUSSIA STILL OBJECTING Dislikes Presence of Chinese Troops on Manchurlan Frontier. Paris, April 3—The Matin's St. Petersburg correspondent says the Russians consider the position of the Chinese troops under general Ma on the Manchurlan frontier to be a menace to their rear and as good ground for Hie belief that thero is connivance between the Chinese and Japanese.

A COMBINE MAY OPERATE MINES HE IS INTERESTED IN. [Special lo The Dally Nows.] Phoenix, April 2.—James Breen, manager of the Dominion Copper Co., Ld., owning Ihe well known Brooklyn and Stemwlnder group of claims In the heart of this camp, was a visitor hero this week, coming iu one night and leaving the next morning, It Is nearly three years since these claims were operated, Mr. Breen being then in charge, and having spent something like $100,000 in development, getting them to the stage where they can be-made to maintain steady shipments of good ore. His contract with the Dominion Copper Co., when he took hold, called for the construction of a smelter for the reduction of the ores of tbe Brooklyn group, but about tbe time ho discontinued work here a misunderstanding arose between himself and the directors of the company, and nothing has been done here since. While hero this tlmo, as usual, Mr. Breen did not bave anything to say, and maintained his well known reticence but in view of the fact, that ihe new Montreal & Boston Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co, that has absorbed the old I Montreal fi* Benton Copper Co.'s holdings as well as those of the Morrison Mines, Ltd., nnd hai been engollatlng lo secure tiie Brooklyn group as well, and ln view of llie further alleged fact that Mr. Breen's contract with his company hns not a grcnt while to run, it is not believed thnt the properties of tbo Dominion Copper Co. will remain Idle much longer. The exact situation Is difficult to learn, but those closest In touch with Dominion Copper Co. affairs assert that something will be doing at no distant date. It is also significant that the mortgage placed on the properties last fall by the company was recently released, the amount being 1100,000. PERISHED JN^ BATTLE PROMINENT THIBETANS FOUND ON FIELD AFTER FIGHT. BRITISH ADVANCE IS ATTRACTING ATTENTION IN FRANCE. Tuna, Thibet, April 2.—The fighting at Guru will not alter the political aspect of the British mission to Thibet, which is going to Gyangs as has heen arranged.

Among the identified deaa was found the body of the most truculent Lhassa lama, well known tu thj poetical officers. All the Thibetan prisoners have been released. A British toice Is occupying Guiru, where the telegraph line is being extended. The Th.bttan wounded were attended by singeons and men from the Biltish force, whoso attentions were gratefully received, though without a show of cringing, the wounded men preserving an attitude of proud Independence.

STRIKE IN THE PAYNE ORE RUNNING 810 OUNCES TO THE TON ENCOUNTERED. THE DISCOVERY WAS MAD]-] IX THE DEEP NO. 8 TUNNEL, Sandon, April 2.—The richest strike aver made In Sandon's old stand-by, tbe Payne, was encountered ln the deep workings of No. 8*\unnel n few days ngo. While drifting on the vein a glittering moss of rich oro, permeated with ruby silver and grey copper was broken Into. Drifting on '-he new discovery is Rciirig on fo ascertain Its extent, Samples taken from the vein assay aa lilpli as Rio ounces nf Bllver to the (on, tho highest values over obtained In that famous mine. At present the rich showing Is exposed Tor about two feet In tho face, and hns all the Indications of a descending vein. Should It turn out so, there are still millions In the Payne. The discovery of the rich ore body nt deptii will give the Sandon district Incalculable value to investors, The on- encountered around here was generally believed lo he too rich to descend to any deptii of consctiueiice. - This Idea is now fast disappearing. Deep development lias been carried on at several of the proper- lies, and Ln each ease tbe ore bodies show up as large as above, and in some cases richer by far. That It should be so at tho Payne will cause no surprise from the nature of tlio extensive ore bodies that have been mined there, but the assay values give pleasant food for thought. The ordinary grade of ore taken out heretofore went from 1(H) to 120 ounces of silver nnd from Co to SO per cent lead tu the ton. Ore Is now being sacked from Ihe new find and a shipment will bo mado at once. Four upraises havo also been driven In different parts of No. ti lead and each are In ore. Prom the present outlook a brilliant future is near at hand for the Payne. , SUCCUMBED TO U.NEUMONIA.

Not only have the news- papets beon warned, under the threat of severe penalty for violation of tho order against the publication of artlc e.i wh.ch might inflame race hatred, but the civil and military authorities in the dlstiicU which might be affected have issued warnings, threatening offenders with heavy fines and imprisonment. That the reports of possible outbreaks have been circulated abroad 13 evident from the fact that several foreign embassies aurlng the past few days have received enquiries from their governments on the subject. While the authorities have taken precautionary measures, however, they seemed to be convicted that no real serious movement will occur to discredit Russia tn this time of war and declaie tho internal situation to be exceptionally good. Government advices are to the effect thnt the so-called reformers radicals and socialists are all losing Instead of gaining ground in consequence ot the war. Among intelligent Jews the feeling is that there Is now presented an opportunity to Bhow the world that they are friends and not enemies of Russia. Such an influential Jewish organ as the Nov- osti denounces as a foul slander the statement that the Jews arc not loyally supporting the government. The statement spread abroad that the families of Hebrews who have gone to the front are not allowed to remain In the cities and are ostracised, are officially denied. Orders wero issued nt the outbreak of the war that the families of such persons sbould be allowed to remain in tbe cities and to bo allowed nearly all tbo privileges to which the profession of the bead of tho family entitled them. It is undoubtedly true that many Ignorant Jews became panic stricken by tho stories circulated among them, and bave left. Others also have left tn order to escape military service. To their presence abroad and to the tales they circulate are attributed the impressionn prevailing in some foreign countries that anti-Jewish cu.lu..«.:. .i"j impending. BOUNDARY SHIPMENTS.

LONDON AGENCY: The Dally Newp fa on file at the offices* it F. & J. Hardy St Co.. Advertising anr PresB Agents, 30 Fleet Street, London, B.C. England EASTER DAY. Today will bo celebrated the festival of the resurrection of Chrtot, tho principal feast of the Christian era. From very early times It has been observed with great solemnity. In the primitive- church it was one of the Bpeclal days for the administration of baptism, and the Latin name of the octave or the Sunday following. Dominica in Albla preserves the memory of the cus- loiu of the newly baptised wearing their white robes throughout the whole week. The faithful greeted each other with the kiss of peace and the salutation "Christ is Risen," to which the response was, "He is Risen, Indeed." This CUB torn is still kept up In Russia. In the Roman Catholic church the feslivttfe: Of Easter really begin on tho preceding morning with the mass of Holy Saturday, In which the short first vespers of Easter are included—a trace of the times of primitive severity, when thr mass of that day would bave hee.i celebrated at a later hour, all the people fasting absolutely. The popular observances connecter' witli the day, past and present, are ln numerable. Tbo use of eggs ln this con nectlon is of the highest antiquity, th egg kavlng baen considered In widely separated pre-Christian mythologies as a symbol of resurrection; though it is not certain that eggs were used in the spring festivals among the people of those times, It Is possible lhat here, as in other cases, the church adopted and consecrated an earlier custom. Some of the mediaeval customs, especially In France and Germany, were very quaint—for example, that which prevailed In several French cathedrals of a solemn game of ball played hy the bishops, canons and other dignitaries; grave and rythmical dances were performed at Auxerre as late as Ihe fifteenth century and at Besancon as late as the seventeenth century, to the Strains of the Easter sequence, Victlmae pas- chall. All these observances had a common purpose, the expression of joy In the resurrection. The proper time for the celebration of Easter has occasioned no iittle controversy. Finally, however, it was settled that Easter Day should be the first Sunday after the paschal full moon, i.e., the full muon which happens upon or next after the 21st. of March, the beginning of the ecclesiastical year; and If tho full moon happens upon a Sunday. Easter Day is the Sunday after. One object In this arrangement was that Easter might never fail on the same day as tbe Jewish passover. They did occur together, however, In 1805, In 1825, nnd last year, and they will again in 1923, 1927 and In 1981. The Jewish passover usually occurs. In the week before Easter, and never before March 26th, or after Iho 25th of April. On the other hand, the Christian festival is never before iho 22nd of March, or after the 25th of April. fn 1761 and 1818 Easter fell on the 22nd of March; but this will not he the case in any year of tho twentieth century. The latest Easter in this century occurs in 1048, on tho 25th of April.

Dr. Mac- fcay of Quabeo city has a euro for the drink habit for which he claims a woi derful record. So deeply has this t. pressed the Quebec government Unit they arranged with him to treat cases which came up iu the Quebec courts. Montreal heard of this plan and asked hi in to establish a branch In that city; which he has done, the municipality furnishing him with a room In the city hall, the government supplying him with ■his medicines, and the doctor administering the treatment. Already recorder Weir has given several "drunks" the option of a term in jail or of undergoing Dr. Mackay's treatment. One attraction of the latter sentence is that it Implies liberty, the sentenced person being required only to report daily at the doctor's offico and tako his medicine. "Gold cures" In privato institutions have heen common enough, hut Ihe incorporation of Dr. Mackay's method—which ho keeps a secret—in tho machinery of justice Is a new idea. Tho experiment may be worth watching. The abolition of the "thirst" would he a much more effective, as well as a less arbitrary, method of dealing with the evil than tho prohibition of the sale. A robust "thirst" usually manages to laugh at law-makers; but a thirstiest; population could laugh at liquor sellers. It would make little difference how many "bars" thero were if no one wanted lo drink to excess, and tho worse effects of tho drink habit would be avoided if every man or woman whom It brought before the courts could he sentenced to have Iho blameworthy "thirst" painlessly extracted.

THE NORTHPORT SMELTER. Local Newspaper's- Statement With Ite- . gard to the Close Down. Northport News:—Consternation wns spread throughout Northport Saturday nfternoon when ft wns learned that threo funnaees at the smelter has been "blown out," which was followed by the remaining three being closed yesterday. All kinds of rumors are afloat! one'that the mlno has pinched out; another that a fabulously rich strike hns beon made in the mine, nnd tlmt the management wonts to make It appear that tho mine is worked out so as buy stock at n low price; others that tho pending water right law suit With Robert Morrill has something to do with It, nnd nbout a hundred other theories. A reporter was told by manager Wilson that "bo was blowing out the six furnaces and declined to say anything further." The most probable reason In our opinion, for tho close down Is that the smelter needs ore from the Columbia and Kootenay mine at Rossland as a flux and at present It Is too expensive to secure, the cost being ?1 a. ton for teaming It from the mine to the rnilrond. The fl. F. & N. railway Is going to connect with tho mine with a spur as soon as tbo snow goes off sufllclentty to build, and then In all likelihood the smeller will open at full blast and run belter then ever. The mine never looked so good, there are no labor troubles, nor nro there likely to he, there Is plenty of coke available, and, ln fact, tho future looks exceedingly bright. A new crusher will now be put hi at the smelter and other improvement*, made. We look for n close-down of not exceeding a montli.

Unfortunately we havo no zinc smolters In Canada, and the consumers will therefore have to bear the additional coat of transportation, duties, etc.jiot to speak of the profits that would add to the wealth of Canada if a new zinc industry was established here. As to transportation, we are at present shipping our zinc ores to Iola, Kansas, at a freight rate of ?10 per ton and to Europe at a freight rato of ?13 per ton. It require? approximately two tons of our ore (or any other ore) to make one ton of spelter. On theso two tons the freight amounts to one cent per pound, and in addition thereto we have to pay freight on spelter returned from Ioia to Canada, which is $20 per ton, or one cent per pound. From this it will lie seen thai, more than two cents per pound is added to each pound of spelter used in Canada for home consumption. From June, 1901, to June, 1002, the following zinc products were imported into Canada for home consumption, according to official reports issued hy the dominion government, under a duty of nnly 5 per cent ad valorem: Quantity.

THE ZINC RESOURCES OF BRITISH COLUMBIA At the largely attended hoard of trade meeting held in this city on Wednesday evening, Marcli 31.81, to consider the understand ing arrived at between the silver-lead miners and the smeltermen as to the exportation of a portion of the silver-load output of Ihe Kootenays for a limited lime, the question of the zinc deposits of tho Kootenays and tbe best way of utilizing them waa referred to by tho chairman of the meeting and replied to by A. C. Garde, of the Payne mine, and president of the Associated Silver-Lead Mines of British Columbia, and John L. Retallack, of Kaslo. Mr. Retallack speaking brlelly said that he realized the benefits to be ob- laineil from gettlug tho generous sup- perl of the boards of trade of the Kootenay when any important and trustworthy project was to be vigorously pushed en, and ho hoped the Associated Boauls of Trade of Southeastern British Columbia would earnestly take up the zinc que lion and bring it to the front. The silver-lead mines' association had petitioned tho dominion government to get a high class expert—the best obtainable—to report oa the zinc resources of Ihe Kootenays in all Its. hearings. This hnd been done in the United States as regards several indus- _. tries In their Initial stages, with very |i good lesults. The publcatlon of such a report would greatly help out small zinc properties and benefit tbe public generally, A. C. Garde had prepared a careful outline of tho benefits to be derived by exploring tho zinc ore deposits of British 'Columbia as to tholr extent, value, eharacler, etc., and he submitted the following statement to Iho rtieeliug: For tho past ten years zinc ore deposits have been known to exist In British Columbia, especially in the districts where silver-lead mining has been carried on, but only within tho past year has attention been paid to its economic feature. In many cases where the zinc and lead were intimately associated the zinc proved a hardship for the lend producer inasmuch as when it reached a limit of 10 per cent the ores were penalized at a rate of 50 cents per unit. With Increasing depth In the Slocan and Alnsworth mines it. has heen demonstrated that the lead stuphides are often superseded by zinc. It has also been proven that tho lead is bo Intimately disseminated with the zinc that processes for independent recovery of tbo two metals are now receiving the greatest attention in all sections where zinc ores havo been discovered. This naturally has led up to opening ninrkets for tho zinc as a by-product, and while some of the mines havo been successful in disposing of their zinc product at a profit in Europe and fhe United States; there are a great many properties wllh a complex nature of ores, fWlth lower values in silvor, that are not in a position at (lie present time and with present methods of concentration, to make a product that will stand the high cost of transportation abroad. "With smelting and reduction works in British Columbia this would be entirely different, but until the character as well as the extent; of deposits hnve been thoroughly explored it is hardly to be expected that capitalists will Invest in local reduction plants. They muat be given assurance of finding n profltr able investment liy the report of a, high authority on zinc. In addition to the direct benefit to the zinc miner the lead railing industry would receive additional fttlention inasmuch as exploration work for zinc ore bodies would lead to discoveries of lead ore bodies as well. This can be explained by Ihe fact that lead and zinc ores are so closely related that there is no distinct, line between tho two minerals. Development of zinc fields would therefore at the same time lead to new discoveries or silver-lead ores. The zinc question is not. a matter of local interest alone, hut of national importance. Wo admit lhat the selection of the specialist to examine our zinc resources in British Columbia is one of the essential features, and we hnve therefore suggested professor Walter Ronton Ingalls, of Boston, whom everybody considers eminent in his profession. Our idea is that, he should make a general study of the zinc resources of British Columiba as to tho grade of ores for spelter production, etc., and to give his opinion as to tiie beat methods of development of the industry in general. In short, wo desire a report that includes the commercial fcaiures as woll, and will bo useful in furthering the zinc mining and metallurgical industry of British Columbia, lt is possible that objections will be raised by our patriotic citizens to engaging a foreign specialist, for the investigation of Canadian resources, and indeed it would be most fortunale if any of our engineers in Canada could fill Ihe want, but the zinc question is a specialty where an Intimate knowledge and study is required, and wo do not believe that such a specialist can be found in Canada, and it will therefore be lo Iho benefit of Canada to employ the very best authority obtainable in preference lo anyone who would be only fairly well familiar with the subject, but not a specialist on the same. Specialists on this subject arc confined to Europe and the United States, but no European can be readily reached or Is likely to be able to grasp the economic conditions of the west at short acquaintance. II. may bo claimed that the cost, of investigation should he borne by individuals or corporations, aud it is probable that expenditures in this direction will be mado by those able to afford tills advantnge, but. llie number of mine or claim owners in Ibis enviable financial condition is Insignificant compared lo tho number of iliose (especially of tho prospector class), who hold properties carrying zinc values and who are not only uninformed ns In the value of lba zinc deposits they control but are financially unable to secure expert advice. This condition lias for some years past heen recognized liy Ihe United States government, who have had a corps of experts iu the various zinc fields of that country with tho most beneficial results as regards enlightening the gen eral public as to the nature and capabilities of the resources which nature has placed at their command. That the resources of the country as to zinc bearing ores are extensive. I have no hesitancy in stating. That the ores as to their physical features in the different districts vary considerably is also beyond question. One feature that bas puzzled llie miner and metallurgist considerably is (be silver bearing nature of tbe zinc ores. Tbere are mines capable of producing a very large tonnage of ilrsl-class zinc ore. which would only carry up to six ounces in silver, while on the other hand we have mines tbat have large bodies of zinc ores carrying high silver values. Zinc ores containing extremely high silver values are not unusual iu this province. I am familiar witli certain small bodies of zinc ores In the Slocan and Alnsworth camp that will carry from 1,200 to 1,500 ounces of silver per ton. Such ores are indeed exceptional in any part of the world, and processes for a close recovery of both tbe silver and Iho zinc values bave therefore not kept; pace with the rest of tlio metallurgical achievements obtained on tho more commonplace types of ores. Cousequenlly tbe miner who produces a zinc ore with very high silver values is at a disadvantage and will be at tbo best not able to get smelter returns for mare than two-thirds or three- fourths of tbo silver values. Undoubtedly this feature deserves particular at- tenilon and expert, advice. In my estimation, however, tiie average silver contained in tiie zinc ores found in the Slocan within a circumference of ten miles (talcing Sandon as a centre) would lie approximately 25 ounces per ton of 50 per cent ore. I beg to emphasize this feature for the reason that it. is generally understood by mining men in the Sicean, as well as the public, that the British Columbia zinc ores on an average would run far above this in silver. II has been pointed ont by many that if the smelters could only afford to pay for three-fourths of ihe silver values the losses would be very high and I hat it, would be better to leave these ores in tiie ground until some day when a higher recovery could ho obtained, What. I wish to bring oul in connection herewith is that the zinc ores of British Columbia even without silver values are worth mining for their zinc values alone, and if they contain some silver values besides, so much the better. The zinc industry should not tie hampered or be prejudiced by the fact that a few properties might have an exceptional argentiferous zinc ore that would prove difficult to gel the full value for. Such ores cease lo be zinc ores and should Ite classed as silver ores, it Is my opinion that there is an unlimited, umount ol' desirable zinc ores in British Columbia fit both for spelter and zinc oxide productions. Tho highly argentiferous zinc ores as a.-whole should be regarded as exceptions from tbe rule and noi allowed to Interfere with tho large ore deposits of strictly zinc hearing ore worth consideration for their zinc values only. Our main object Is therefore as II will bo understood from Iho foregoing, to give the Canadian investing publlo an op- poriuniiy lo find ont alHhe particulars of ihe zinc ore deposits In British Columbia, In the United Statos and Biu'Ope the zinc smellers have not been slow in 1'Oallzing the future we hnve before us. Our zinc ores aro now being exported every day to the markets of the world where they are made Into speller and zinc oxides and later on returned nnd Appro* 0000 ions $711,648 It. ts an injustice lo Canada, who, we will assume, has Ihe zinc ores, fuel, etc., to look for a market for homo consumption in a country where high tariff exists (viz., the United States) besides paying high freight rates on long hauls going ont as raw material and coming back as a finished product, with an additional tariff charge of 5 per cent. As to the extent of ore deposits, I have mentioned in the above that In tho Slocan there are several important veins of desirable zinc ores. On some of these veins considerable work has been 4pno but entirely for tiie purpose of obtaining tho high silver-lead ores associated with the zinc. Any development work must therefore be credited to the silver- lead industry. Whatever zinc ore was taken out with the lend ores has for a number of years been wasted in the concentrators or left on the dumps, and treated as equalling so much waste. Hundreds of thousands of tons of zinc have in. this manner been wasted through the tailraces and into the creeks. Furthermore a large amount, of zinc has been wasted In Ihe lead smelting furnaces and run out with tho slag. When hereto is added penalties that have been charged the miner for excess of zinc in tlio lead ore It will readily be seen that zinc to the value of several million dollars has been lost. It is impossible to give accurate figures in reference, hereto, hut I may state that out' of a dozen concentrators, each of about 100 Ions capacity, the average tailings would assay 20 iter cent zinc, anil in individual cases would exceed 30 per cent. Whatever silver was contained in the zlno would of course follow same through tho tail-races. In the Slocan mines located at elevations of from ;i,000 to 8,000 feet, tbe veins run parallel usually with a -slight inclination from the vertical. The approximate strike is northeast, and soulhwest. All of the important veins are true fissure, showing considerable signs of faulting and fractures in the slate formation of the country. In no particular instance bas mining been carried on beyond a 1,000 foot depth, and here the evidences of increase of zinc is apparent. An unbiased observed must come to the conclusion that the lend or at least a portion of it is gradually being replaced by zinc-blende. If for no other reason this feature alone would lie of sufficient importance to the silver-lead miner to solve Ihe zinc question. Unfortunately while he knows all about lead he is not any too well posted on the zinc. In depth he is confronted with ores of more or less complex nature and concentration propositions, and unless ho can make a profitable by-product of the zinc ores be will find il difficult to make his lead ores pay even with high silver values. If it was not for Uie liberal bounty of $15 per ton granted by the dominion government, lie certainly could not see his way clear. At any rate lie has found out that he cannot afford let pay penalties to the smelters on excess of zinc when this amounts lo ?S and ?10 per ton as they in many instances have proved to do. If on the other hand he is able to separate tho zlno from the Iron and tiie leatl by means of concentration and magnetic separation and dispose of the lead and the zinc to advantage independent of each other there will be no cause for him to (.rent! the future of deep mining, and instead of looking at the zinc as nn Intruder on, ihe peerless silver-lend ores, he will hi lime learn to regard it as a more valuable by-product than lead. London ami New York prices of spelter which govern tho markets of the world today have for a number of years showed considerable strength. At. iliis time of writing tho London price of spelter is .C22 per long Ion. while the London price of lead, plus the lead bounty of 75 cents Per hundredweight, is only £15, 7s. 6d. It will therefore readily be seen that spelter is commanding a far higher price than lead, a feature that lias been overlooked by a* great ninny. Peculiar and extraordinary conditions In British Columbia bave caused the miner to overlook tho prospects and advantages of zinc, also the losses to which ho haa exposed himself so long. Even at the present time It Is with a great deal of tardiness that he realizes the bright future of zinc and Hie addition of a new and distinct Industry to the prosenl silver-lead industry. As to deposits of zinc ore, we will commence al Sandon, where there is to he found a considerable tonnage of zinc ores blooked OUt In nearly nil the noted silver-lead properties. Thfl Payne.-Thin mine has for a number of years been tho leading silver-lead producer of the camp, and wns also Ihe flrst properly to lake steps In the matter of Ihe economic treatment of zinc. The first zinc shipment of 1,000 tons was made to the Lanyon Hlnc Co., of Tola, Kansas, In 1002, and averaged THE DAItY NEWS Has complete facilities for the execution oi high class book, job, and newspaper printing. * Magazines, catalogues and commercial work.

In order to improve the grade the Payne company during lflOS added a magnetic separating plant ((he first one of lis hind in tho country) whereby the iron is eliminated to about, l~> iter cent, while other Impurities in the oro aro very low, making It a much sought after product, for spelter manufacture, Zinc deposits of considerable size are known to exist In this mine in association with silver-lead ores. Altogether 1,800 tons of zinc have so far been shipped. At the present Mme shipments are J being made at the rate of 200 to 300 tons per month to Antwerp, Belgium, under contract with European zinc smellers. The yearly output is estimated at 3,000 tons of 02 to 55 per cent zinc-blende concentrates containing about 10 ounces of silver per ton. The Lucky Jim,—This mine, located ut Hear lake, Ik, in my estimation, the most Important zlno property in the Slocan, The silver values contained In the ore are low, being only about tier/, but the blende Is ot high grade. The vein, or deposit. Is very wide aud can lie conveniently mined. Besides the zinc ores a large tonnage of lead Is also blocked out. In 1 SI*J# an experimental shipment of 1,800 tons or zinc-blonde averaging 60 per colli zinc, '.. per cent lead, aud floss, silver was snipped to n zinc smelter near Manchester, Bngland, bu! through Iho untimely death of tho I promoter, Mr. Drown, the enterprise I came to grief and Ihe mine was shut | down. Recently tbe property has been bought by local parties who Intend lo work It during the coming Reason, wilh. undoubted prospects of success. The Slocan Star and Silversmith.— These properties besides having a large tonnage of high grado silver-lead ores blocked out, also contain a very considerable amount of first class zinc- blonde, principally In the nature of a concentrating ore. a quantity of these zinc ores carry high silver values, hut on an average the ore will hardly run over f-Ooz. per ton. Zinc-blonde running more than l.OOOoz. iu silver to tho ton has been found In those mines. The Stnr company is at the present time busy reconstructing its milling plant so hk to ho able to save the zinc values In the future, a valuable by-product with the high grade silver-lead concentrates. No zinc ore shipments have to my know ledge been mado from these properties, but approximately 200 tonB of 40-45 per cent blende with silver values over 150 oz. per ton has been mined and held on hand Cor some time awaiting better prices. Wilh iho completion of the above mentioned planl this property win undoubtedly he a heavy producer of valuable zinc concentrates, which ln former years went through the lail- races. Tbo Ivanhoe.—This mine Is supposed to have a largo vein of mixed lead-zlnc- irou ore, which is now being concentrated at the company's mlit In nddillou to tho silver-lead product. Zinc shipments at. tlio raid of 200 ions per month are made principally to loin, Kansas. The average assay of this product Is 44 per cent zinc, 28, to 80OZ, ■silver, 4 per cent lead, and 0 per cent iron. Prosppcis fnr -continued shipments are reported to lie good. The concentrating plant which was built four years ago, lias within tho past year heen rearranged In order to save the zinc ores 08 a by-product to tho galena. Altogether 500 tons of zinc-blende concentrates havo beon shipped to United States smelters slneo January, 1903. Tho Washington. — ThlB properly, located Immediately above tho Payne. lias approximately 30,000 tons of first Class concentrating material exposed, existing partly as a zinc-blende product sorted out from former Shipments of high grado silver-lead ore, and partly as ore in place. In more than one respect, tho zinc-blende resembles that of the Payne mlno, and will furnish a vory desirable by-product to the Bilver-lend concentrates; l have learned that it is the intention of tho owners to Instal a tramway from the mine to tho K. & 8. railway during the coming summer, also to erect a custom concentrating and magnetic separating plant ln Kaslo which will treat their own as woll as any other zinc and galena ores rained tributary lo the said railway. This enterprise is of special merit and should prove- both profitable and beneficial to the entire district. The Whitewater.—This mlno has also u fair tonnage of zinc-blende exposed, some of which conslsls of back fillings and sortings from former silver-lend shipments. Judging from samples of the ore on hand I believo that a desirable zinc product can be obtained by means of wet and magnetic separation, but little activity has been shown at this mlno during iho pasi year.

At thp pro- sent, time tin1 property in not lining operated. The While-water Deep Mine.—This property, which is nn extension of the Whitewater, has a zinc ore similar to the Whitewater. No shipments havo linen made, hut I understand lhat a considerable tonnage of good concentrating material is available and that under favorable conditions stops may ho taken to erect a suitable plant for treating this. The Hath.—Quite a largo tonnage of zinc-blende is exposed nt this property, on which a concentrator for silver-lead ores was erected several years ago. A zinc by-product assaying 10 per cent zinc, lOoz. silver, 2 per cent load, 1(1 per cent iron anil 5 per cent, silica 1ms boon made during tho past year, and approximately 700 tons are at present on hand aXvaillng disposal. The Reco and Goodenough—This mine is noted for its exceptionatly high guide silver-lead ore shipments, and produced in 1898 07 tons of 50 per cent zinc- blende which assayed HD.uoz. in silver lo the ton. which was shipped to Vivian & Sous. Hafod smeller, Swansea, Eng-1 land. For tho zinc contents |n this lot the smelters paid ut the rate of $12.21 por ton net, with spelter rjuotalions in London at .£20 IDs, hut they rofusr-d to pay anything for the high silver values In the ore. The smelters were, however, generous enough to allow ihe owners nn advance of flvo shillings in Hie market quotation from date of shipment until arrivnl. It Is hardly necessary to add that tho above preposterous iransnction was bo unsatisfactory that no further efforts wore made to continue shipmonls lo them. The abovo furnishes an excellent example of the'short-sighied policy exhibited by Great Britain smelters towards encouraging shipments from n new camp. Jt will Ite remembered thai the high cost of transportation, which in this caso amounted to ?2S.17 per ton, had to be borne hy tho shipper and wns deducted from the gross returns, in consequence tho owners have found that in order lo recover the silver valuer It pays them lo mix the blende with the clean galena shipments, whereby, of course, the zinc values are lost, The Reco mine has not a very large tonnage but a desirablo grado of zlno ore running high In silver. The Ooodenough mine, ndjolning the Reco, Ih worked in conjunction with samo. and has approximately 800 tons of concentrating material on the dump which will produce a concentrate with values similar to the one quoted above. Tbe Rambler-Cariboo (McGulgnn Basin.)—In this mine move or less zinc is found scattered through the high grade silver ores, part of which is concentrated and saved as a by-product in the concentrator, with the view of making a finished zinc product at, some future diiie. Approximately 30,000 Ions of this material averaging about 111 per cent, zinc, together wtth a considerable percentage of argentiferous galena, is now on band. It is slated that an additional 20,000 tons will be mnde this season, when the mill is running. Tbe Antoine (McGuigan Basin.)—The Antoine* Is reported to have quite a tonnage of zinc running high in silver. Recently a carload was sorted out averaging 40 per cont zinc, 7Soz. silver and 2 per cent lead, hut up to tbe present lime no shipments have been 'made. Tbe Jackson. (Jackson Basin)— Extensive deposits of zinc and galena exist hi this mine. The zinc ore which will concentrate something like 5 Into 1 is iu muny respects similar to the Ruth ore. in former years litis property shipped several thousand tons of silver- lead ore and concentrates. The present concentrator hi now being remodelled In order to save ihe zinn by-product. During the courso of the summer, this property is expected to be reopened, und a considerable tonnage of both galena and zinc concentrates produced. Tho Monitor.—Following Carpenter crock on its downward course towards Slocan lake we find the Monitor mine situated near Three Forks. At ibis property approximately 3,000 tons of zlnc- blemle mixed with galena and iron has been sorted out from tbe silver-lead ore shipments und left on ihe dumps. This company is at the present time liguring ou erecting a concentrating plant at Rosebery for the treatment of above material, together with any other zinc ores mined in iho future, It Is also the Intention lo equip above plant wltb a magnetic separator, and it is expected lhat thereby a good grade of zinc concentrates can ho produced. The Idaho-Alamo,—This group, located just below Throe Forks, hns been Idle for a number of years. In tho earlier day* the Alamo was well known as a heavy producer of high grade silver- lead concentrates made iu the old concentrator, Tho zinc-blende was separ ated by milling and large quantities of samo went, through the tall-race. A year or so ago the two properties were taken over by a syndicate, and the mill, which has boon remodelled, with a view to malting a zinc by-product, will no doubt during the coming season be able lo make a zinc concentrate of fair grade that will carry perhaps, 30oz. in silver I learn from the mauagftr that the zinc and lend ores are closely disseminated and careful treatment! Is required in ordor to avoid losses by sliming. Tiie Mountnin Chief.---This property, located not far from SloCan lake, Is also an old silver-lend producer, and crop- pings of very desirable zinc ore are found on tbe surface. Tbo Bosun—This mine which is located near Slocan lake, offers in .several respects an Interesting study. Close to the surface the vein was narrow and the early shipments consisted ontirely Of galena. As depth was attained zinc made its appearance, anfl at the present time the mine produces three times as much zinc as lead. Tbe total zinc shipments from this property represents 1.110 tons, averaging -11.8 per cent zinc. 71.8oz. In silver, 1,8 per cent lead, and (!.-l per cent iron. The highest smelter returns received for an individual lot of 40 tons was 51.7 per rent zinc, llloz. (diver, 1.2 por cent lead nnd fl per cent Iron. On an average this oro carries 13 per cent, silica, 3 per cent lime nnd 20 per cenl sulphur. When considering that more than 1,100 Ions have been shipped sinco 181)0 this property holds tho record for high silvor values in the ore. Six hundred and twenty tons were shipped lo Antwerp, 1100 tons to the Lanyon Zinc Co. and (120 tons to tbe Canadian Smelting Works. Aside from the zinc product this mine has shipped approximately 2.0U0 tons of high grade silver-lend ore to local smolters, The managemenj has been at a disadvantage iu several respects. Although the vein is wider on the lower Itvels closo hand son ing Is required In Order to prevent penalties on the two mlilernls. The host offers that can bo obtained from the zinc smellers is 7f> per cent of the silver values. While the mhle was shipping to Europe tbe freight rates to Antwerp were $21, These have sliioe beon reduced to $l,'{. Considerable oro is in sight, and with smeltliiK works In British Columbia tills properly would no doubt be able to pay well. At the present, time the mine is shut down, but steps may bo laken whereby operations will be commenced again within the near future, The Emily Edith.—This mine, lu close proximity to the Bosun, haB a similar grade of ore, and could be worked in conjunction with the Bosun to advantage, which may possibly be done. No zinc shipments havo been made from Here. Tbe Wakefield (near Sllverton. )—At this mine a concentrator has been erected for treating high grade silver ores. During four months' run In 1903 this concentrator has produced as a by-product 235 tons of zinc concentrates which averaged 45 per cent zinc, *14oz. silver, fi per cent lead and 3 per cent iron. The mill feed assays on an average 14 per cent zinc. Up to the present time all shipments have been made to tbo Lan- yon Zinc Co., Iola, Kansas. The company expects to produce at least three times as mucb zinc during the coming season, as their concentrator has been modified to suit the conditions. The property is reported to bave a large body of ore in the mine. Tbe Hewitt (near Sllverton.)—This mine, which Is close to the Wakefield, bas ulso a large body of ore blocked out from which milling tests have been made showing that a desirable grade of zinc concentrates can be produced. No shipments havo been made with the exception of a few carloads of hand Borted ore, merely for Its stiver contents, but the chances for a large output of zinc are eonsidei'cd fair within the near future, when probably a mill will be erected on the property. The ore sent from the mine will average about 12 per cent zinc. • The Galena Farm (Sllverton.)—This property, located In the same vicinity, is reported to have a similar proposition to the Hewitt, but the only work done on the property was for the purpose of exploring silver-lead ores. During the past few years no work has been done on it. Tbe Noonday.—The remarks made in reference to the Galena Farm also pertain to this property. Tho Enterprise.—This property is located considerably abovo Slocan lake, approximately half way between Sllverton and Slocan city. Since 1903 about 1,000 tons of high grade silver-lead-zinc ores have been mined and shipped to local smelters. Average assays went 157.9oz. silver, 17.5 per cent lead and 23.9 per cent zinc. It will readily be seen that the shipments were made for the silver-lead values and that a penalty of 50 cents per unit or $7 per ton had to be paid on the zinc, which of course acted as a drawback. Some two years ago an attempt was made to concentrate the zinc from the lead, but it did not prove a success as the losses ln silver and gray copper proved excessive. At the present time the mine is leased and the ore sorted by hand to bring the tenor of zinc down as low as possible. A sorted zinc product Is reserved on the dumps which may be concentrated to advantage during the summer. Aside from this there is no great tonnage of zinc ore in night. Aside from tho zinc properties mentioned in the foregoing we find that deposits of zinc ores are found fairly evenly distributed throughout a number of districts of British Columbia. On the south fork of Kaslo creek we have some very fair prospects with a considerable quantity of desirable zinc-blende, such as the Province mine, also the Cork and Florida, as well as the old Montezuma. The present season promises activity towards systematic treatment of these different ores and projects for concentrating and separating plants are being seriously considered. About eight miles south of Kaslo on Kootenay lake we have the old Alnsworth camp, from where a considerable tonnage of silver- lead ores have been shipped. A good showing of zinc can ho found In several properties, of which I may mention the Highlander, the Krao, the Gaillgher, the Glengarry, the Ayesha, tho No. 1 and DHlfe, etc. Most of these zinc ores run low ln silver and somewhat higher ln Iron than the Sandon ores, and while they would not stand transportation as well they would furnish a very desirable product for reduction works located in British Columbia. On tbe east side of Kootenay lake, the Blue Bell mine has been known for many years. An unusually largo tou- nage of low grade zinc Is available, but I am lacicing sufficient data to give further particulars. This also pertains to the Silver Hill mines, above Crawford bay, where large deposits of zinc ore are reported to exist. In tho east Kootenay district more or less zinc is found in the St. Eugene mine, but very closely disseminated with the lead and iron, so that a marketable product under present conditions has not been found profitable. Further west wo find extensive surface showings of zinc on the Arrow lakes opposite Halcyon Hot Springs. Along the main line of the C. P, R. zinc has been found in a number of places in tho llleciiiewaet, Revelstoke and Golden mining divisions. All of these ores are as a rule heavily mixed with iron or lead or both, and some of them must bo classed with complex ores. Their silver values are also low. The Monarch mine, at Field, situated on mount Stephen, produced ln the early days 2.000 tons of lead ore which was mixed with zinc-blendo. This feature made the ore difficult for the ordinary lead smelting. With ji separating plant nt tiie mine and smelting works at the const conditions would be materially different. North of Vancouver, on Lynn creek, some very Interesting prospects havo been located and samples of zinc-blende assaying up to 50 per cent zinc have been taken from the surface. Further along the Paclflc coast and as far as Queen Charlotte island finds of zinc- blende havo lieen reported, nlso on Vancouver Island, of which I have no further particulars. Prom none of the above mentioned properties to my knowledge havo any zinc shipments been made, and a great many of thorn nre still In the prospecting stage and will probably remain so until capital has beon Invested for treating theso ores at homo. Under present conditions they would not stand the high freight rates either to Europe or tho United States, and the owners have i either not the necessary capital or suffl- 1 tient confidence, in botng able to make Poplar Creek Prospectors Can keep dry during the rainy season Jf they purchase.'

NEW YOKK FASHION LETTER Now York, April 2,—For some years it has been the ambition of American dressmakers and modlBtes to emancipate themselves from tho rule of Parisian fashions and to create their own -styles, but it does not seem that they como much nearer to the aim of their ambition than they were at first. Paris fashions still rule supreme and all the fashion artists, of this country have gained so far Is a certain. Inventive liberty of elaboration. Tho types aro imported from Paris as tbey wero before, but the ideas are elaborated and, to somo extent modified lo suit different conditions, in our home fashion studios. There is something mortifying lu that arrangement, but it seems hopeless to expect complete emancipation from Paris supremacy. At a time, when traveling across tho ocean at all times of the year was not so cammon a thing as It Is now, It did not Involve any great hardship to wait with patience until the spring models wero brought over from Paris to be copied for the benefit of the fashionable classes ln this country. Now, however, the situation is different. Hundreds, perhaps, thousands of American women of wealth and station spend the ■winter or part of tho winter on the Rlverla or at some of tho fashionable resorts In southern Europe, to escape tho rigors of our northern climate. Many of them hasten home nt the end of the spring season in those places, which, for all practical purposes coincides with our winter season. Theso women of faBhion, who have had an opportunity to soo tho now spring and early summer styles, long before they roach the American shores, have a great advantage over those wbo spent the winter In California or Florida nnd nre In the fortunate position' to lend their less fortunate sisters in fashionable, styles by one ■ to two months. The poor fashion artists in this country are, of course, severely criticized by their customers for being so slow in introducing the latest styles, hut It Is really not their fault. They know that they must wait for the dictates from Paris and try to mako tho best of the situation. Not until tho new models have arrived, docs [heir real mission begin, They deserve great credit for the Ingenuity and the excellont taste which they ■-rp^elatoratlnir and moWylng fift element of charming variety, without deviating from tho main features of the approved Paris Btyles, After considerable experimenting a really new style of corset has been evolved and tho now corset forms one of tiie most Important and interesting novelties brought over from Parla this year. It is wovin of silk Is Uiln i>r.d elastic and do?s ti'.t contain stays of any material. It Is on excellent thing from a hygienic point ■-: view, but it Is move than doubtful whether it will ever become pomi'nr, Women w'*h good forms and well developed busts will undoubtedly adopt that new style with enthusiasm, but tho overwhelming1 majority of women, leas prodigally gll'tcd by nature will scarcely tako to a corset, which r-ot only does not hide Jef3it<-, but rather emphasizes them. Tha MlIIlot corsets, as they aro called, are Just tho thing for tho coming spring styles, whioh demand closest fitting to tho "gun Whito linens will be extensively used during tho coming summer season and there Is every Indication that thoy will be oven moro popular than last year. Of course white, In this case, Is merely a general term, as thero aro many different shades of whito from cream to delicate ecru, from pearl to oyster gray, Linen walking suits1 with kilted and plain skirts, boleros or long Jackets, reaching down below tho knees, will bo worn a great deal. The skirts of these suits will bo worn quite Bhort, shorter in fact than those of walking suits made of cloth, Tho characteristic tendency to extravagance and clnhoratcncss of the coming spring styles is not confined to gowns, waists and Jackets. It extends, to a large degree to other parts of women's apparel. Spring petticoats will be moro extravagant and elnborate than ever before and the richest materials will bo used in their making, Taffeta will be extensively used, but also thin nnd pliable Pompadour silks, which will JU tightly around the hips, but will be finite flaring and bulky. Many of the new patterns show exquisite hand embroideries and are trimmed with lace flounclngs and ribbons of beautiful colors. The new Rcdium ribbons, which have a peculiar bluelsh cream tint of remarkable brilliancy, will be used much for trimming underskirts and promise to become highly popular. The now color Is quite peculiar nnd striking and is highly effective for trimming purposes in connection with other colors.. The pompadour rose promises to bo extensively used this spring for decorative purposes on many spring goods. Its uso will be quite general nnd will not be confined to tin' various kinds of dress materials. It will blossom on dresses, paro- sols, ribbons and even on upholstering fabrics and wall paper. Many of the newest gunny cottons show tho pompadour rope pattern,' largo or small, the roses arranged singly or In bunches. There is even a HOW material, called pompadour crepe, which comet) only In somo sort of rose design. The same pompadour roscH appear on KllK ribbons and tbe workmanship ln some of the more expensive of these l -lbbOflB is OXqulBlto, The same design Is used in UpllOtBtory woods, sometimes combined wllh tapestry effects nnd It Is also shown in some charming cretonnes and chintzes aud drapery silks. The pompadour patterns have OV041 Invaded the realm of hosiery and most of the new fancy stockings aro embroidered in the dn In test rose designs. One of the surprises of the coming sum- mor season is tlio reappearance of the plain linen collar. Tbat style of collar and the W0»h stock, with which go string or Ascot ties, arc really tho only forms of neckwear suited to go with tailor mndo shirtwaists. It Is into, that laco collars, with ribbons or embroidery are moro ornamental and, perhaps, moro becoming to many women, but they surely do not harmonize with the severe plainness of these waists. Laces of all kinds will bo the favorite material for trimmings this year, Never has there been such a demand for laces and never has there been such a wonderful display of laces of various kinds as Just now. Russian laces. Point do Venise, Bruges -and Irish crochet seem to be the leaders ln public favor and will probably be used more than other kinds. Net top laces will be used more than ever, and thoro will bo a brisk demand for oriental laceB, Chantlllys, tbo new Mechlins, Valenciennes and Point d'Aloncons. Embroideries will also play u prominent part this coming summer and will be used extensively not only on elaborate gowns for dress occasions, but also on simpler dresses for street wear. Linen embroideries will continue In favor in trimming linen kirts and waists from the simplest to the most elaborate. Sonic of the sets shown in the shops, including collar, wristbands and shoulder pieces, are very handsome and ornamental. Sashes seem destined to be exceedingly popular this season. Ribbons of every width and material, plain and with every kind of pattern will be used and there will bo a great variety of styles in arranging the sashes. Soft silk sashes, used around tho waist with soft clinging dress material, are very effective and pretty and colored silk ribbons with flower designs mako a handsome combination with White or cream colored lace dresses of a more elaborate pattern. Somo beautiful and highly artistic hosiery Is shown in the shops at this time. Stockings with dainty embroidery and somB with beautifully executed hand-painting attract considerable attention and would become quite popular were lt not for tho prohibitive coat of these works or art. Tha fact that tan shoes will again be In style during tho coming summer, accounts for tho reappearance of hosiery In various shades of tan and brown, Something novol in tho line of embroideries and passementeries are the new button effects, which seem to havo taken tho fancy of tho women of fashion, These effects aro very popular nnd are shown ln a great variety of styles and in combination with other, less conventional patterns. IP1 THE MAORI RECITALS. One of the most interesting families that have visited Nelson for some time arrived yesterday morning. Wherahlko Rnwel, Mrs. Rawei, and two pretty children, are from Now Zealand, on their way to the world's fair at St. Louis. Mr, Rawei Is a native Maori, qui educated man, and thoroughly acquainted with tbo conditions of his native land. A gentleman now a guest at tho Hume hotel, having heard Mr. Rawei In Victoria, speaks very enthusiastically of his ability as a speaker. Mrs. Rawei assists her husband In hts entertainments, which are descriptive of Maori customs. In tbelr home Mr, and Mra. Rawei are Christian workers among tholr own people nnd have represented their countrymen at some world wide , religious conventions, .notably the Ecu men leal conference in New York. The Victoria Colonist speaking of tbelr recent visit tbere, says: "Nothing like tbe Maori recitals have ever been .seen In Victoria and they bave bean so popular thnt tbey have had to be held every night this week so as to give nil the people a chance to attend. A very large number of those who attended last night have been present every night this week, which shows the attractiveness of the entortainments." Mr. and Mis. Rawei will give their recitals four night, beginning tomorrow night in tho Congregational church. MANUFACTURE!) IN THE U.
