ALLOTMENT OP STAT tOlM. (Special to The Dally News) - Victoria, May 19.—After practically two days.and night* of consideration iu ministerial session of the case ot Rev. W. J. Stone, of Clayoquot and Car- the conference of the British Columbia Methodist church early this morning received from Its committee a report which ta practically a Scotch verdict . " ' The evidence Is found to be Insulticieut to Justify a verdict against the missionary, while at the same-time the conference la far from satisfied us tu the Ir- reproachabllity of his ministerial character. The case baB proven one of the most difficult to deal with of any that has ever been brought before tbe conference, and the evidence-taken by the district board aud read before the ministerial session of .the conference, presented many contradictory elements. Indeed, tils daughter of Mr. atone, by whom the horrid accusation against her father was mad*, had subsequently written that the charge was false, while he claimed that If time were available he would be able to produce coucluaively reftttatory testimony. ' , Dr. Ernest Hall was examined as to possible temporary derangement on th* part of the daughter having resulted in the accusation. In view ol all the circumstances the ministers felt justified tn reporting nothing more than Insufficient evidence to warrant a conclusive pronouncement and Rev. Mr. Stone relieved an embarrassing situation by 'asking that in the premises' he be left without a station. The more Important, changes ln the final allotment of stations are: R*v. R. Newton Powell to go to Nelaon; Rev. R. S. Laldley to Hallburton street, Nanalmo; Rev. John Rottsoh, lo Wallace street'Church Nanalmo; Rev. J. A. Wood (ex-presldsnt of the conference), to Saanlch; Rav. T. M. Wright, to Nicola; Rsv. W. Lashley Hall to Fernle; Rev. T. a Carpenter, to Golden; Rev, T. K, Melntyre, t* Cumberland; Rev. J. P, Hick*, (Victoria) and Rav. Hughes (Dawson) left without stations by request; Rev. J.-C. Ssymour, to Dawson; Atlln to be supplied. The district chairmen are named as follow*: Victoria, Rev. 8. J. Thompson; Vancouver, W. E. Prescott; New Westminster, Dr. Slpprell; West Kootenay, J. D. F. Knox; Kamloops, 8. 8. Osterhsut; Bast Kootenay, J. P. Westman; Okanagan, A. N. Miller; Indian district, Mr. WhitUngton. _ The superintendency of Indian mission work is left with a committee, Including the president and secretary of the conference wbo will take up the matters In question with the conference for "-"vm^ Ai. ti«*land called for thorough m.c-w^ ""May - ectlon with tbls some reports na.« -...jteared upon which Mr. 8tone will probably take action for libel. Mr. Stone was charged with lascivious conduct, with brutal and careless conduct concerning his family, with profane language and with Improper methods in connection with his missionary work. After sitting on the case and taking evidence, one of ihe witnesses being his daughter, a girl of 20 years of age, the committee charged with the Investigation came to the conclusion that there was not sufficient evidence to convict. Ths report.of the committee ou presentation to the conference was adopted. When the question of character came up-that of Mr. Stone was passed on the strength of the finding committee. The missionary, however, was asked to locate by the conference,' which according to Methodist usage meant to retire from active clerical duties. Mr. Stone did not accept this suggestion, and requested to be left without a station ror a year. Tbe matter stands In that situation, Mr. Stone being.left without station on the final draft of stations. From this decision of the conference there lies an apical If the complainant wishes to file it within 60 days. ThU appeal would be to the next British Columbia conference. From that there is further appeal If desired to the general conference of the church. Up to the present no appeal has been entered." EDWARDS IS OUTWITTED HUSSBY'S SMABT TRICK LEATHER BELT. iyjTH TRIAL OF TRAIN ROBBERg WH#L BE HELD AT KAMLOOfS (Special to The Dally Newi) Kamloops, May 19.—The threu men committed for trial on the charm of holding up the C. P. R. express tear Ducks, should appear at the assist-**-* which open here on Monday before Mr. justice Irving, but owing to a very heavy civil list court may adjourn until after Clinton assizes and trial be taken up upon resumption here. An important, piece of testimony was sprung upon the prisoners at the close of the preliminary hearing yesterday.; It appears that section foreman Rods, of Ducks, found a black leather belt, wtth a notch cut In one end of It, near the scene of the hold-up the day following the occurrence. This belt was turned over to superintendent Hussey without anyone knowing anything about tt When the prisoners were brought into Kamloops, the belt was slipped among the belongings taken with them. These were all spread out at the gaol and the prisoners told to pick their personal be* longings. Edwards claimed the black belt At the preliminary hearing Edwards learned for the flrst time that the black belt had lv?en found on the railway track. He had evidently been unaware of the loss. The revelation manifestly disturbed him, although be gave little sign of discomposure. Paul Stevens, who has been held on suspicion for several days, was dismissed this morning.

From 10.30 yesterday morning until after 9,30 p.m. last evening, Mr. Justice Morrison and a jury wrestled wltb the Italian shooting case from Morrlssey known as the King vs. Amandla, at the spring assizes. The case for the prosecution was finally concluded at the end of tbe evening session, when the court adjourned until Monday morning at 10.30. 'None of the developments during the day ware of a particularly sensational character, the witnesses In turn telling over and over again the details of the five shots said to have been fired by Amandla at Cozaa at Morrbiaey ou Sunday evening, December 10, last. Tha trial wlll be continued tomorrow when the defense will commence their case. e During the day the grand Jury returned a true bill against George Anderson, charged with attempting to murder Charles Street. Mr. justice Morrison upon being Informed that Anderson bad no counsel to defend him detailed A. M. Johnson to took after the prisoner's Interest*. Tbe case was remanded until tomorrow when Mr. Johnson will appear and enter a plea for the prisoner. The grand jury returned true bills In four Fernle cases where conspiracy to defraud was charged, the fifth case waa returned no bill and W, R. Ross obtained the discbarge of the accused, R. Delude. The other four men nre said to have skipped the country shortly after tbe preliminary hearing. The grand jury will make their presentment on Tuesday morning. - At the Amandla murder trial Francisco Marosco, whose .examination in ohlef was not concluded the night previous, waa the flrst witness examined yesterday. Mr. McAnn questioned the witness closely as to the relative positions df the two men wben the laat shot waa .fired. After Cozzo dropped and died the witness after a short pause went'over and inspected tbe body. The head was pointing down hill a little on the side; the body was not quite straight. To Mr. Rosa the witness said he was 11 yeara old. The witness then again detailed the "trouble" which preceded the shooting and the account given was practically the same as the one given In chief. There were -some discrepancies between what the witness said ln court and what he said at the preliminary enquiry, He did not attempt to explain but said hs did not remember. *what he said previously and that poaslbly what he then said waa correct as. all the story was then fresh In his mlad. The witness stuck to his story of wTwt happened. Immediately before the shooting loommenced, The demand, I* ]>aid. reached for his hip pocket, Xm.ndla said "Do you want to die?" anergot his gun out and then the first three shots were Hired. The witness' account ot all that happened in connection w(th the firing of tha five shots and m_A lm- medJMaly preceded and followJIT was Itran with intelligent brevity and In a way. that vary favorably Impressed every one who heard the atory, twice drawing from the court the statement "I think the jury can have no difficulty In fully understanding Just what happened from the account given by this witness." Some of the witness' answers were given with a direct brevity that proved rather disconcerting to examining counsel. During a discussion between Mr. Ross and the court relative to bhe admission or rejection of certain evidence, the former stated tbat the prisoner's de- fens* would be that he drew his revolver and commenced the firing entirely ln self defense. The witness said tbat the deceased's general reputation during the two years he knew him was pretty good, be bad only known him to quarrel once. A. D. Drummond, provincial policeman at Fernle, was on duty on December 10 last, and went to Morrlssey Mines in connection with the shooting affair as soon as he heard of it.. Witness searched body and found sundry small articles including a pocket knife but no deadly weapon of any sort. The pocket knife waa passed around amongst the jurymen for their Inspection. The witness said he saw tbe accused In the lockup at Morrlssey Mines on the night of the occurrence. He was lying on the floor of his cell groaning, and the witness searched him, but found only some small belongings, and the following day took him to Fernle and looked him up there. The gun that is said to have done the shooting was Identified, and the two bullets-already ln evidence were shown to flt this particular revolver. To Mr. Ross constable Drummond satd that all the eye witnesses of bhe affair had not been summoned. At the time he visited the accused In his cell at Morrlssey, he found some bruises and other evidences of a recent scuffle, on him. As to the evidence produced the police had tried to get the most reliable witnesses. Vtnceurzo Gervasso, coal miner, of Carbonado, said that he was one of the party which went down to Morrlssey on Sunday, December 10, in the afternoon after dinner. He was In Caravetta's store. There were about nine men and four women present. Tbe accused was of the party. Cozza, the deceased, came in about 5 or 5.30 o'clock.

Up to the time Cozza Joined the party ln Caravetta's store every one waa enjoying himself and there was no trouble. Cozza first saw his dog and then accused witness of taking the animal. He Cozza, grabbed witness and wanted him to come outside. The other men of the party in- terefered In a tew minutes the crowd got outside and - the . shooting begafl- Wltnesa admitted being fairly "full" at the time, Cozza was angry at the time he grabbed the witness, and wanted to fight. Frank Mancuso, another of the party which came down to Caravetta's store from Carbonado on Uie afternoon of December 10, told Ills recollection of what happened at tbe time of the row und the subsequeut shooting. He was etimding out on the street- when the crowd came out of Caravetto's store. He heard tbe .shots fired shortly after he came on the street. The accused and deceased were about seven or eight feet apart at the shooting. The deceased had nothing ln bis hands at the time. I saw the prisoner draw his gun aud fire three shots. The shots were fired at the deceased. Both men went on over towards the butcher shop opposite, the deceased walking quickly and the prisoner following. There were two more shots fired, making five In all. At the last shot, the men were close together, and tile revolver was near and pointed at the head of the deceased, who fell to the ground when the last shot was fired. He saw the body a few minutes after the shooting. After the noon recess the witness, Frank Mancuso told Mr. Ross that he was a brother-in-law to Caravctta, who testified the previous day. He lived tn Caravetta's store at Morrlssey. He was in charge of the store on the Sunday afternoon. He was" away when the row started but was sent for and when be went out In the street the accused and deceased were together on the outer edge of the crowd, about six or seven feet apart. He heard all five shots and stood nearly In one spot during the shooting. During tbe minute and'a half the witness watched tbe two men before the firing started, they were facing one another, gesticulating and talking loudly. He did not see deceased reach for his hip pocket. The deceased started to walk towards the butcher shop, the accused following. The llmt three shots were fired quickly, one after the other. After the flrst shots the deceased started to run away, the accused following and shooting, when the deceased started to run away he had his back to the accused. The fourth shot was fired near the butcher shop. He heard the fifth ehot fired. The men were face to face and almost touching one another whon the final shot was fired. The witness was excited and afraid during the shooting. It was light enough to see all that happened. *. To foieman Wells the witness sild that after drawing the gun and commencing to fire the accused had the revolver in hla hand all the time during the shooting. W. H. Bugbee, engineer pf Morrlssey, was ln the Western hotel at the time of the shooting. It was between 5 and 8 p.m. He heard the row and came out and saw two men running across the street. The witness described the shooting. He did not know the men. When the laat two shot* came the men were clinched. Witness arrested the accused after th* affair Just opposite the Western hotel, searched him and found 'a razor, a small Jack knife and a pocket book. The revolver produced was got from Caravetta. There was about six Inches of snow on the ground at the time of the shooting. To juror McBride the witness repeated that it was the deceased who slipped and fell on his knees. Mrs. Marcuso, wife of Frank Marouso, a former witness, was one of the party who came down to Caravetta's store on Sunday, December 10, last and Joined in the card and beer entertainment that has already been described. She and her husband lived at Caravetta's store. Cozza and the accused were ln tbe store They had trouble outside. Tbe witness, then detailed what she saw of the shooting and what followed. Nothing of moment was testified to by the lady, different to what has already been told by former witnesses. Deceased had nothing In his hands at the time the scrap Istarted. She saw the accused shoot but could not say where he got the gun from. Mr. Ross failed to elicit anything of Importance from the witness an cross- examination. Mr. Ferrell, proprietor of the Western hotel, Morrlssey, was called by the crown. To Mr. Ross he said he separated the two men at the time juat before the filing began. The deceased made a motion as If to draw a knife and the wltneSB jumped out of the way and the firing began. Just previous each man called the other names. The witness was afraid ot Cozza. To foreman Wells—Neither of the men had arms In their hands before the firing began. Did not see anything tn deceased's handa It was the motion he made that drew witness' attention and made him Jump aside. The court then adjourned until 7.30 when an evening session was held lasting about two hours, when Mr. McAnn announced the conclusion of tbe crown's se. During the evening session nothing of an Important nature was brought out. Mr. Ross stated that the defense would tie prepared to proceed with their side of the case on Monday at 10.30 and the court adjourned till that hour.

Partial pardon for political offenders and the other demands of the address will be regraded as declarations of opinion upon which the emperor is not called to paas until they And expression by legislative enactment. The trip of president Mouromtseff, of the lower house, to Peterhof today, as had been anticipated, was productive of no changes ln the situation. Though the leader of the house received the utmost consideration and was singled out by the emperor for special attentions, the Biibject of the add-ress was by tacit understanding avoided. The date of president Mouromtseff's audience of the emperor, to present the address has not been determined The moderation of the constitutional democratic leaders has already brought them under the ban of extremists. Several social democratic and social revolutionary organizations have solemnly arraigned the party for betraying the cause of freedom by not Insisting on direct secret and equal suffrage- ln the; address tn reply to the speech from the throne. Tlie radicals of the house nre expected to break away and form separate party groups. The chiefs of the majority, however, will not. shed tears over their departure as their nominal [membership of the party, owing to their intemperance and fanaticism, Is an embarrassment rather than a help.

MINISTER OF MINES' REPORT The minister of mines Ik to be congratulated upon having succeeded In issuing his annual report a good deal earlier this year than has been the case for many years pant. Tbe annual report of the, minister of mines for the year ending 31st December, 1905, has been issued and copies can now be obtained, upon application to the king's printer. For readers of The Dally News there le very little that Is new ln tbls report, our mining review, issued on January 1, having fully covered the past year's operations. It ls of Interest, though, to cite some of the figures given in the report, as they are official. In the chapter devoted to "Progress of Mining," we read: The gross value of the mineral production of the province during the year 1006 was $22,461,325, the largest output ever made by the mines of the province, and ah increase over the preceding year of $3„488,966, or 18.4 per cent, while it Is an Increase over the year 1903 of over 28 per cent. An analysis of the returps shows, however, that this Increase has been confined to certain districts, south east Kootenay, the Boundary district, Nelson mining division and Yale mining division, the remaining districts showing a more or leas marked decrease. The greater part of the increase is in the two former of these districts. In southeast. Kootenay the tonnage of ore mined increased 121 per cent and the value of the product-*135 per cent over the preceding year, while ln the Boundary the tonnage lias increased 20 per cent and the value of the output 53.6 per cent The Slocan district shows the most marked decrease this year, Hs output being little better than half of what it was in the preceding year. The Rossland camp just, about held its own this past year. The tonnage of ore mined increased about 5 per cent, but the values per ton diminished somewhat on the average, owing to the working of low grade -mv.-s by concentration methods. The tonnage of ore mined in the whole province, exclusive of coal, was tbls past year 1,707,679 ton's, some 245,070 tons, or 16 per cent greater than in 1904, and 85 per cent greater than was mined ln 1901. The number of mines from which shipments of ore were made in 1906 was 146, and of these only 79 properties shipped over 100 tons during the year, practically no change from the preceding year. Some 38 mines eaoh shipped ln excess of 1000 tons, of which seven were ln the Nelson division, four In the Slocan, seven in Trail (Rossland), and 11 In the Boundary. The gross output of the coal mines of the province for the year was 1,825,832 tons (2240 lbs.), which, with 314 tons taken from stock, makes a total production of 1,826,146 tons. Ot this total amount, 1.202,971 tons were sold as coal, 441,520 tons were used ln making coke, and 181,655 tons were consumed under the companies' boilers and sold locally. The coke produced amounted to 271,- 785 tops, of whtch Bome 268,091 tons ROYAL BANK OF CANADA Capital, TOTAL ASSHTS,, |S6,871,(7I HEAD OFFICE: HALIFAX, N.

Of the metals, produced, the report says: Gold—The value of the output of gold fot this province from lode mining for the year 1905 was (4,933,102, an Increase over the preceding year of some f.343,- 494, or about 714 per cent, due entirely to the increased tonnage of gold-hearing copper ore smelted in the Boundary district. The production ot placer gold this year is valued at $989,309, a decrease of some 140.000 or 13 per cent, as compared with that ot 1904, and Is the smallest output made any year since 1891. Silver—About 70 per cent of the silver produced ln the province was found associated with lead, In argentiferous galena, thc remainder being chiefly in conjunction with copper ores. The total silver production was 3,439,417 ounces valued at $1,971,818. the largest output the province has made 6lnce 1901, despite the fact of a decrease in the Slocan of 494,000 ounces. The increase Is due primarily to the extensive working this year ot the galenas, low grade in silver, of the Fort Steele district, which district shows an increased production ot nearly 650.000 ounces; and, secondly, to the increased tonnage ot the large copper mines ln the Boundary and the.working of certain smaller hut higher grade properties in that district, resulting In an increased silver production ln the" Boundary ot about 385,- 000 ounces. Copper—There is again, this year, a material Increase in the output of copper, the production being 37,092,251 lbs., valued at $5,870,222. an increase over the preceding year of 1,982,123 lbs., or about 5V4 per cent, while the increase In value Is $1,298,182. This Is the greatest copper output ever made by the province. The Increase is due entirely to the increased tonnage of the Boundary district, as all the other Important districts show a falling oft in production. Lead—There has been produced in the province In 1905 some 58,580,703 lbs.^if' lead, valued at $2,399,022, an Increase over the preceding year of 19,934,459 lbs., or about 64 per cent. This year's lead production, with the exception of that made In 1900, ls the greatest ever made by the province. Zinc—Approximately 9413 tonB ot zinc ore or sine concentrates were sold this past year, having a value at point °< shlpment of about $139,200. The report ls one of which -British-Columbia can well feel proud. Despite all drawbacks and disadvantages the min. Ing Industry shows steady' progress and no outside Investor or mining operator can peruse the mass of official data presented In this report without being impressed with the potentialities ot this province from a mineral producing standpoint.

It la to be hoped the department of mines has taken steps to ensure the early and thorough distribution of the report where It can do most good. We publish today an illustrated article descriptive of one of Kootenay's "beauty spots," Kitchener glacier. Doubtless scores of similar articles could be prepared and their publication wpuld undoubtedly serve to favorably advertise the attractions of southern British Columbia, but the question of cost comes In and, so far as this paper ls concerned, we fear it Is prohibitive. The cost of cuts to illustrate the article pabllshed today amounts to about $20, so that It will be readily seen how expensive an undertaking lt would be to publish many such articles. We shall welcome articles descriptive of Kbotenay's "beauty spots" but cannot guarantee hereafter to bear the expense of having cut made to lilluetrate them. If ,any arrangement can be made whereby 'this paper will be relieved of the cost of the illustrations, we shall be pleased to devote the space to a long series of such articles, FIRST HOUND ENDED Regatta, Will he Continued on Monday- Seml-Finai Race.

May 18—Some ele-gnnt costumes wet*e worn at -the paa*sade of tho New York conch club It-eld Jn Cwi-tir-.il park ■the other day. Great preparations had been made for the day and not only was it an exhibition ot smart turnouts, horses and lino appointments; but the gowns, hats oawl wraps hud nil ben-n especially made for this occasion. As the guest-- mounted' tlie drags atter a liswhtoon, at the Metropolitan olub annex, good full length views wero caught or these beautiful creations, may of which might be copied very easily, even It less expensive materials must ibe used, for Hue coloring will often give as good'an eiTect ilf handled with deftness. The colors most In evidence were grey, white, rose and blue, with chiffon cloth, voile and foulard leading in materials, and tihe Etons or Pony Jackets most prominent in styles, though a few redtngote coats in a new cut were to be seen. Mrs. Alfted Q. Vanderbilt -wore a gown of white chiffon cloth with Insets of Irish lace. The skint was full and gathered at the waist line to a depth of about lour inches, the lower edge had a row of large circular Insets above which was a full iblouse with a lace yoke outlined with a bertha of Insets and standing collar, the sleeves were full puffs .to the elbows, below which were deep Inset cuffs linisaing with a fall of lace. Over this was worn an umpire cloak of blue cloth decorated with white embroidery, while the hat was of btaek straw and white ostrich tips. Mrs. William Jay wore a black ortpe de chine, ,the skirt of which had a double box plait down the front and side plaits over the hips to the depth of 12 inches, and around t'he bottom and up the sides of the box plant was a beautifully einbroid- ■wed design. Tlie coat was a loose alBalr having an embroidered vest and side pieces and shawl collar; the sleeves were in tute cerv popular elbow length with embroider* ed cuffs. . Tho hat was largo and of black srin, trimmed with black tulle and osprcys. The gloves wore long black glace, aud round her neck wan a black tulle neck- tniche. Aim-her very pretty costume waa of blue crepe and white lact, topped with ui hat of white straw decorated with a heavy wreath of deep red roses. The skirt was a nine gored model fastened on the sides *mh1 around the bottom, and up the left side of the fore front where It was fastened was a .banding of Persian design. The 'waist as far as seen under the elegant wrap of black brocade appeared to be a emrpllce with a lace yoke outlined Willi the {M-sIdtin trimming which was al.-to used for 1'lic cuffs of the short sleeves. Pale Hi-ey chiffon cloth with polka dots of a danker shade- was used for,a very Hlniplt* constructed gown. The skirt was tucked toUt Uie figure to lhe knees wtu-iv a flounce was laid ui under a group of three tucks or nun's folds, ami lliilshed At the bottom with another group of thre tucks. Tire waist was full ami lu-ld In tucks having a s-tan'ttn-g colku* and pluatron trout of Irish lace, which also was used fur the cuffs to Uie ni' uk'i'jutely large sleeve of tucks and tare. A crushed girdle of grey silk with u beautiful buckle completed the costume. Apple grown taffeta waa used for a gown liavliiff a one pleoe tucked skirt tn which the tucks were laid lu gitiups about the hips to a-'little above the knvt-s from which point at wm lengthened by a tucked flounce iheakled with a lace banding which ai»o decorated the flounce in a group of three •iows. The bodice was full with tucks eMrtending from the shoulders to the bust 'ttne and had a pointed lace yoke of beautiful lace, while the sleeves hud their fullness disposed of In tucks -to form a cuff to the wnlst. A green velvet wrap was doned after entering Uie carriage and a* boa of mignonette greon tulle, and a large white hat of st-raiw trimmed with green c4iiffon and foliage completed, one of the most elegant costumes seen at the parade. A tooat suit of grey and white foulard, combined wltW white ch'ffon and tace.made one of the most striking dresses ■saal-hs-J skirt was a four gored model with art inverted plaU tn the front and ^ek, a„nd around Uie hem were Tour rows of sWcn- Ing. The coat wa** seml-ntUng cut with a military outline amamenied wltn «ivw buttons, s'Utched collaw and cuffs havhig insets of .lace. The ptouae worn with was costume was of grey chiffon. , Another dress made of foulard in a deep shade af blue was conatruoted by an BUM model. The skirt, 1 *houM say, was a five gored affair with, inverted plaits in the front, back and sides, stitched down , and about live inches below Alio waist. Each of the broad panels formed by ttie plaits had a decoration consisting or three medallion insets arranged in a triangle and the same trimming was used upon the fronts of the Eton, which was fanclfuly cut and edged with a tiny frilling of white chiffon U>tig white gloves were worn and an elaborate puffed sleeve decorated witli tucks ended In R'-cuff edged with white chiffon, ixmg white gloves were worn and an embroidered chiffon blouse, while the hat was of blue c-rm In sailor shape ■ plea singly trimmed I with quills and a chiffon warf, and pink roses covertd the bandeau. In hats the* sailor seemed to be tlie most popular shape either lu rough straw or covered shape**-. A number of the dressier hots wero of orin und next to the sailor the close fitting hat turned and twisted to suit the wearer'H face, -trimmed with peacock feathers, osprcys, 'lullls ond nhort tips were apparently very popular. A loose coat which would be very useful for summer evenings to throw over a light dress or for driving was shown in a light grey broadcloth stitched with sewing silk a shade darker than the coat. It hung loose and full from the neck outlined by a flat shawl collar in Irish lace, which was also usedi for the cuffs of the large sleeves in whk<h* any dress sleeve' would have plenty of room without getting crushed. Sliver buttons gave a chic air to a most useful outer garment. The Pony Jacket still holds its own although m many are wearing It, snd it Is so easily copied by the ready-to-wear 'tail- One of these little coots — - buck and front under short panels of silk Susie and Persian braid. The sleeves were the usual regulation elbow type finished -wtth cuffs of silk and- braid, and the col- tar was square with bent tabs outlined with Persian' trlmndng. A ribbon bow with tone ends completed the costume at the *neck. WWh these black coats a black hat is not only the more likely to be the more useful out da really tbe moat stylish, yet halts are often the osntrasttng note in tbe whole outfit. And even when the hot is black or keeps to the same colors as the •costume, a bit of color Is added in the shape of at rose tn the front or a moss of them on the bandeau under 'the brim, OATHBRINE MANN-PATZANT.

This valley terminates at the moraine, thrown up by this branch of the glacier. This moraine, which is about half a KOOTENAY BEAUTY SPOTS THE KITCHENER GLACIER (J. W. Cockle, Kaslo, B. C.) The invitation extended recently by .The Daily News to those interested in the encouragement, of tourist travel opens a wide field to many of the rest- dents In the Kootenays who have availed themselves of the vast number of trails and roads which have been built along the mountain slopes and by which they have ben able to visit many beautiful localities, and without which these wonderful mountain fastnesses would still remain a hidden book to any but the hardiest prospectors. To such of our residents it would seem an Imperative duty to portray for the benefit of those interested, the results of any trips that they have made and thnt I mny not lie laggard I -will try tu describe one commenced. The trail from this point is bujlt up a steep rock slide, zigzagging backward and forward and at each turn on the southward bend affording a view of the spray bedecked St. Agnes Falls, over which the glacial waters slide and plunge for a depth of nearly 3000 feet, trom their exit from the basin below the glacier until they reach the valley below. The best description of these falls Is to desorible them as a water shoot, as for much of tho distance the water Is spread over sloping rocks, which break into steps and at these points the volume of spray thrown up pi-educes In the sunlight a series'of ever varying rainbows; at other points the waters sweep tn a foaming torrent over rocky boulders, or descend in a seething flood In ' •-' " k ,..-:._ ' ■ ■ » "lv.

From the Coffee Creek moraine, looking south. The ice tave shows over the shoulder of the centre figure. • ,i* of a number of visits I have* made to the Kitchiner Glacier. This glacier which' Is the most southerly ln the vast Selkirk range, is situate at the head of four of our large mountain streams. The South Fork of Kaslo creek has its rise ln Its icy fastnesses; Coffee creek, which flows into Kootenay lake 17 miles south of Kaslo, also owes Ita rise to the same glacier; Kookanee oreek takes Its rise -at the foot of the precipitous walls of rock which sustain this Immense mass of ico and ■now and whoso waters empty into the west arm of Kootenuy lake 15 miles their perpendicular fall. Such views as theso meet the eye at every- turn and lend an enchanment to this portion of the trip which compensate for the extra exertion required to climb this almost perpendicular mountain side. The major portion of the ascent being accomplished, the trail crosses this turbulent stream and enters a grove of spruces, through whioh It leads to the basin below the -glacier. Upon emerging from the timber the first full view of the northern end of the glacier Ib obtained, whilst In the foreground a beautiful stretch of mountain grassy lawn One of tlie first tilings thai, attract attention is the wonderful profusion of flowers that bedeck the landscape. Purple white und yellow heathers grow in profusion, whilst the cups of mountain rhododendron form masses of snow- white flowers which stand out conspicuously in their environment of darl. grerm spruce. The trees consist prliffilpally of spruce, balsam and the mountain tamarac, the latter only growing at points in the higher altitudes. In order thut your renders may the* more readily understand the various localities which will he mentioned as points of interest lt may be stated that the form of the glacier represents a somewhat distorted figure F and our camp Is situate below the centre stroke, Two rocky bluffs pierce the glacier oil either side of this point, dividing the glacier into three terminals, the top and middle sections pouring their waters into Kaslo creek hy way of St. Agnes falls, and tho tail of the letter discharg- mlie long, readies up to the .end of the rocky ridge, which at this point Is about level with the snow fluid, and together Uie ridge nnd moraine form n right angle barrier which cuts into the heart of the glacier. *"V The view from the moraine Is grand in tbe extreme. To the left lies the valley of Coffee creek, extending down to the distant waters of Kotenay lake. The glacier nt this point fa spilt by thousands of crevasses, aud! directly In front of us is to he seen an jmiuense Ice cave,' which Is joined by a projecting point of rock over which the ic6 is crushed. Beyond this towers the rocky-summit of Kokanee mountain, which Is set In a field ot glittering snowy whiteness, and pierces the clouds tq^a height of 9700 feet. On the right of this peak is another similar in appearance but not so lofty; these peaks form the backbone of the letter F. From the end of tlie rocky ridge the snow field stretches away for nearly two The upper rocky ridge looking toward the western peaks, the snow ridge showing against the horizon. southwest of Coffee creek; whilst Lemon oreek, which empties Into the picturesque -Slocan lake, receives a small portion ' of the glacier's melting snows. H Is comparatively easy to describe the route by which this wonderland is reached. A good wagon road leads from* Kaslo for a distance of 17 miles, wind- lot along the banks of a rushing moun- j taiiUorrent, the road being built through avenues of giant cedars under whose Khade of A luxuriant growth of ferns and moss form a verdant carpet. After reaching the present terminus of this road a trail leads on to the end of the valley. Here ln (early times a good atop- plnt plato was built and after a rest and overhauling of peck straps and saddle* the ascent of the last two miles le stretches away to the margin of Twin Lakes, whose milky green waters are supplied by the melting Ice, To the left as we enter this park rises a range of saw-toothed mountains, tho opicea of which are so sharp that one can only stand astride them. Away on the notrhern slope of this range lies the Woodbery glacier, but as my aim la to describe In this article only the Klt- ohener glacier, 4 will pass It with Just this casual mention. On my last visit here our party had a splendid view of one of the mountain chieftains, whtch Inhabit these precipitous rocks, a lordly white mountain goat, who had esconced ■himself ln a cave formed by some broken rocks and from his lair he could 1 view undisturbed-the whole of the val- From Coffee Creek moraine, looking north along the Saw Tooth Range. ing Into Coffee orselt. Tiie top or most western ice pushes out in a long foot and lias at Its terminus little spectacular effect. The ridge of rocks whtch divide this from tho centre tongue enter the glacier for a considerable distance and extend out to the northern end of the basins. This ridge Is well wooded and would afford an ideal spot for a mountain chalet. From its crest a magnificent view Is to be obtained of the slope of the western tongue and the spectacular terminal of the centre fork. The ice on the fork breaks perpendicularly for a height of two hundred feet and being held back by the second rock ridge Is forced over a mound of rock, which causes It to split into a hundred spires and minarets ere lt crashes into the ley waters of the lake. The beauty of thess spires when Illuminated by the sun ls beyond the power of pen to describe or painter to portray. The Ice li of many colored layers and whon the sun shines through the clearer layers the play of Iridescent colors is grand beyond description. Every convelvable us we stand, facing the south, and distant less than a mile, though nearly 3000 feet below, lies tbe camp of the La Plata mines. It was from the precipitous mountain side down which we are now looking tbat the terrible avalanche, which hurled so many men to eternity, descended In the winter of 1903. On leaving the summit we descend to the right and bear away to tbe western edge of the snow field which terminates ln a precipitous wall. At this point is one of the most .exciting stages of our journey. The force of the wind blowing up Coffee creek from the east and the alternate winds from Lemon creek In the west have formed a long snow ridge standing like a capital letter A. Ou tne east it slopes at an angle of about 'do degrees, gradually lessening out acioss the -glacier, but on the west of the slope terminates at a short distance, at the rocky brink uf tho precipice. The apex of this ridge is so sharp that it is necessary to kick foot-holds on its crest to allow of a safe passage. A slip on the western slope would mean almost instant death 3000 feet below; but the result on the eastern side would only be inconvenience from the rapidity of the slide down hill. It ts Imperative that in traversing this point all the party should be securely roped. This ridge stretches away for over half a mile, gradually melting into the stope of tbe glacier and from its terminus steep slopes stretch away to the centre terminals. It Is usual for parties returning by this route to strike for the other noticeable peculiarity Is seen ln the larger butterflies, -which always lie over on thein sides when at rest. This ls accounted for by the prevalence ot high winds and is one of the means which nature has forced them to adopt to prevent themselves being blown away. The shortness of the summer season amidst this island of ice and snow produces some remarkable results in the growth of the trees. Along the moraines may be found many small spruce trees, from 6 Inches to 2 feet high, which only grow a quarter of an Inch or less each year. Thus a tree of two feet high may represent a growth of 250 years, as some allowance has to be made for seasons in which the snow has not receded far enough to allow of it sprouting. The summer Is so short tbat all the flowers appear at one time, plants which at a lower altitude would bloom at periods extending over three months, are all found here blooming together. The advantages of tbls glacier and Its surroundings as a tourist resort may be summarized by stating tbat It is the only glacier in the Kootenays whtch can be reached ou horseback and without the exertion of a steep mountain climb on foot. An unequalled location for the erection of a chalet Is within a quarter of a mile of tbe glacier, and If such were erected tourists would be able to obtain all the scenery and excitement they wished without being obliged to devote several hours of strenuous exertion lo reach the objective point. Boating, and If one appreciate the tera- From the end of the second rock ridge looking west; across the the snow field the western peaks in the distance. Hundreds of Insect specimens were collected here on the snow by this parly of entomologists. ■ upper rocky ridge which affords a safe passage rather than trying to cross tiie multitude of crevasses which would be encountered if the remainder of tlio journey were continued over the ice. Tho area occupied by tbe glacier is about six square miles, being three miles long by two miles wide. No idea can be formed of Its greatest thickness, but.many exposures of ice show a depth of over 250 feet. A description such as this would be incomplete unless mention were made of some of the Interesting phenomena seen amongst tbe flora and fauna. When the sun Is shining many colored butterflies may be Been flying over Its Icy stretches. But with the passage of even light fleecy clouds over the sun's rays these fall helpless on tbe snow and remain In apparent llfelessness until the sun's rays again warm them into activity. This Is caused by the extreme cold. The temperature of the air taken a foot above the snow in the middle of August and when the sun was shining brightly was only 28 degrees. Thousands of small fliee and insects perish by the cold and may be seen dead upon the snow. An- perature of the icy water, splendid bathing may be had in the lakes. The kodak fiend would revet ln the many picturesque views which he could obtain. The mountain climber would find the stopes of the Saw-Tooth range no mean adversary to encounter, the botanist and naturalist can add materially to his collection; whilst those seeking repose would find iu the vast fields of ice und snow a solitude unbroken save by nature's charm. There are several other spots amongst thtfce mountain fastuesses which would well repay a visit and whih could be conveniently reached in a. day's trip from this point, but spaco will not perm-It of further enlargement of tbo many wonders of this wonderland. In conclusion I may add tbat many tourists that I have conducted up to th.B point, even some who had visited the Alps and other mountain resorts have •expjreased their admiration of the grandeur of the scenery and were unanimous ln the opinion that few It' any spots which are visited by tourists could compare with the scenery which was to be obtained here. miles rising gradually as the peaks are approched. The travel across this point of the glacier ls fairly safe In summer. What few crevasses there are are plainly visible. On reaching the extreme edge of the snow and climbing the summit of Mt. Kokanee, the sea of mountains lies below us. Far away to the south for a hundred or more miles the mountain tops gradually recede until they merge Into the landscape. To the west, the valley of the Columbia river Is plainly seen and the towns of Nelson, Trail and Rossland are located ' by the smoke which hangs over them. Range upon rang1! of mountains paralleling each other in continuous rotation until they are lost in the horixon. To the north, thousands of mighty mountain tops rise tier upon tier until tbey are lost In the clouds. To the east, a small view Is obtained of the upper stretches of Woodbery creek glacier, and beyond that, the ranges of mountains (whloh border Kootenay lake) form the barrier between east and west Kootenay.

OF INTEREST TO MINERS SPECIAL WEEKLY ARTICLE ON PROMINENT METALS COPPER IS THE SUBJECT NOW DEALT WITH. Copper is the subject ot our fourth article of the more common metals, whtch we publish this week. Great Interest is being taken at the present time ln copper properties, ln fact with the Increasing prices, and the demand for the metal, lt Is probable that we shall hear of several other large .concerns starting, operations ln juris- province during the coming year. The report this week that oue of the largest corporations operating in the Kootenays had decided to Invest a large sum in one of the local properties wlll no doubt be an Incentive to prospectors to pay more attention to the minerals carrying this metal than has been the case during the last few years. To this end we have decided to go more fully Into this class of minerals than has been the case formerly, and we hope that advantage wlll be fully taken of it. Our correspondence colums are still being taken full advantage of, and we hope lt will prove of great beneflt during the coming summer season to our many mining readers from outside points. Where an assay is desired, and it Is required in a hurry the feo should always accompany the sample. Should the fee not be known a preliminary fee of at least 11.00 should be sent. The assay wlll ln that case be run, whilst a reply Is awaited from the sender. COPPER Copper has been known from remote antiquity, and was in those ancient times alloyed with tin when it was used for making edged tools, bronzes, etc. Copper has a red color, metallic luster and streak, lt is highly ductile, very malleable, and tenacious Its specific gravity is about 8.8 varying a little either up or down according to the way It has been manufactured. When heated to whiteness copper gives off metallic vapors, if lt Ib exposed to a damp atmosphere it becomes green owing to the carbonic acid in the air affecting lt, forming a carbonate of copper or "verdigris." Copper Is very freely soluable ln nitric acid even In very dilute soloutlons, but is hardly acted upon by hydrochloric add even in Its stronger solutions. ; Copper forms two clases of salts, cuprous and cnprlc. To this* peculiarity is due the great quantity of copper ores and the variety of their color. Formerly the world's supply of copper was drawn from rich ores containing up to' 40. per cent of the metal as mined, but at the present and in the Immediate future reliance-must be placed on the enormous bodleB of law grade ore now being worked In various parts of the world, the copper contents of these deposits vary from 14 to 5 per cent, probably 3 per cent would be a fair average, though in England, 2 per cent is considered good. The copper deposits of the Boundary districts are good Instances of these classes of ore. The following are a few of the richer class of copper ores. NATIViB COPPER—Copper is frequently found in its native state though hardly ever pure, nearly always containing a little sliver, bismuth, mercury, it is found massive but more often crystalline, or in the form of small grains disseminated through the rock. This latter Is the way It usually occurs In the Lake Superior district In this district, which is the most Important locality ln the world, all the copper obtained ts practically. In the native state, and ls so obtained over an area of 200 miles in length. Occassloaally some very large masses are found, the largest being obtained In the Minnesota mine In the year 1857. It was 46 feet long; 22 feet wide, and the thickest part was more than eight feet tt contained over 90 per cent copper, and weighed about 420 tons. It waa found ln the belt of conglomerate which forms the footwall of the vein. CUPRITE or Red Copper oxide ore, occurs commonly in eight sided crystals, sometimes ln cubes, also massive and earthy. It has an uneven fracture; is brittle, and has a semi-metallic to earthy luster. As Its name shows lt has a red color of various shades, with a similar colored streak. It .contains when pure about 89 per cent copper. This mineral is cuprous oxide, MELACONITE or cupric oxide varies greatly In color from the previous mineral though tn composition there is not such a great difference. This mineral has a steel or Iron gray oolor when In scales, when it Is earthy it is black or grayish black. It contains about 80 per cent copper, and 20 per cent oxygen, when pure, but Is rarely tound In this condition, nearly always containing earthy matter, etc. Tenorlte ls the name usually applied to this mineral when lt is in the form of scales. Following the oxides of copper we come to the carbonates of whtch there are three, vis: Malachite, aturlte and auriohalcite. MALACHITE ls ths green carbonate ore and contains 57.4 per cent copper. It Is found both crystalline and massive usually In the latter form. This form of ore Is very common at or near the outcrop of copper veins. Lime-malachite ia very similar to ordinary malachite, It la due to the decomposition of various copper ores (probably sulphides) when In a lime formation. It is of considerably lower grade AZURITE or blue copper carbonate Is very similar to malachite excepting In color, being an aiure blue. It contains 55.4 per cent copper, and Is found massive aa well aa crystalline. These two carbonate, an frequently found together near the outcrop of the vein. They have remarkable powers for staining the vein ailing; very small quanUtles giving the rack a decided blue or green oolor, and a .mail per cent I* sufficient to make th* ore appear to be solid malachite or asurlte. For this reason the appearance of copper stained rocks ls likely to be seriously misleading as to their contents. ' AURICHALCITE—This mineral ls a compound carbonate of copper and sine, containing about 20 per cent of th. former's oxide, and 53.2 per cent zinc. It has a pale verdigris green color, with a similar colored streak. We are unavoidably compelled to hold over the balance ot the copper minerals until next week. CORRESPONDENCE. F. M., Nelson, B. C—Your No. 1 Is very similar to garnerlte, that Ib a silicate of magnesia and nickel. We would advise yon to have lt tested for nickel. No. 2 is pyrrhotite; this also may contain 'nickel. No. 3 ls a quarts porphory probably carries a little gold and silver. K., Kaslo, B.C.—Your sample is a mixture of pyrrhotite, galena, and zinc blende. As you do not state where lt ia from lt le hard td advise what to as- aay lt for. It will probably contain a little gold and silver besides lead and tine. P., Greenwood, B.C.—Your sample ls & granitic rook with copper pyrites Intermixed. We may state that lt ls the first of this kind that we have seen ln the country. B., Trout Lake, B.C.—No. 1 sample ls galena, zinc blende, and copper pyrites. No. 2 ls sine blende and Iron pyrites, in shipping No. 1 you may possibly get allowed for the copper present In the sample should It go over 2 per cent. This -will all depend upon the market and the smelter to which lt is sent Betore shipping we would advise you to sub- unit a bid sample to the smelters ln this district F. H„ Orand Forks—Your* sample Is fairly good granite and contains no (commercial values. V. E.. Nelson, B.C.—The Laurentlan group (geology) Is the oldest of the three you quote, In fact lt ls the oldest period in geology.

PURITY IN BEERS of GREATEST IMPORTANCE TO ALL Bottled beers as well as food products are often adulterated with chemical preservatives, etc., which temporarily keep them from souring, but are injurious to the stomach. It is therefore important to know that A. B. C. BEER is guaranteed to be ABSOLUTELY PURE and free from any, adulterations whatever. It is never exposed to air (which is germ laden), but it is brewed, fermented and aged for nine months in airtight compartments, piped in block tin pipes direct to air-tight bottling machines, where it is bottled, sealed, pasteurized and packed for shipment The Only Beer Bottled Exclusively at the Brewery There's--, the only Bottled Beer where PURITY can be ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEED.
