VICKS VAPORUB Ova 2IMiluqnJars Used Yearly Group on Which Fire Revealed Rich Showings Now 14 Claims SAME OWNERS AS THE GOLDEN AGE Many Veins Under Development; 3500-Foot Drift to Be Driven Acquisition for a cash Consideration, of the Lost Cabin property, an old shipper, by owners of the newly located Euphrates group adjoining the lines of tho Oolden Age prop* ePty near Hall, has brought the Euphrates up to 14 claims, mostly whose remarkable showings of _ ore camo to light after last summer's forest fire h*d burned off tho underbrush that Bcrecned them. It is said there are no fewer than 14 veins in tho group, running from three to 30 feet In width, 1 licit A.tistty.H No. 1 vein Ib 26 feet in width, having eight feet of solid ore, carrying gold and silver, and zinc, which assayed S32 per ton. From No. 2 vein, which has been developed by open-cuts, for 40 feet, with an ore shoot 1V% feet wide, assays have given values In gold from $20 to $168 per ton. No. 3 vlcn, an extension of one of the Golden Age veins, has been opened up for a distance of 100 feet, with a width of eight to 18 Inches, giving returns from samples, of $40 per ton. During prospecting of No. 3, ore was taken from a point near the Salmon river, which assayed $ 1000-odd per ton. The balance of the veins, most of which have had a certain amount of surface work done on them, have given returns from samples taken from thc surface openings, of $2 to $20 per ton. ' The Lost Cabin has a strong vein which wilt run from six to 12 feet ln width, assays taken over a space of eight feet, giving $14 to $16, gold, and silver. A few years ago the Lost Cabin made shipments to thel Trail smelter. This whole territory has the aspect of being rich ore carrying zone, said to be traceable for a width of 800 feet, and a length of two miles. Arrange for Work , Arrangements are underway which will permit of a drift being driven on No. 2 vein, of some 600 feet, which haB been figured by the company's engineer to give a depth of 1700 feet. These will also permit the crosa-cuttlng of several of the other veins, besides striking the Lost Cabin ore body, the highest values know fn the district. A grant has been made by the mines department, which enabled the construction of a trail, and a bridge across the Salmon river, to serve this group. Joint Water Development Steps are nearlng completion, which will give an adequate supply of water, for the purpose of being used by tho Golden Age, as welt as providing power, for the development of the Euphrates group. The immcdlato use of this will be for compressor. With the additional capital ar- ranged for, a lively mining camp may be expected around the Golden Age Mining company's holdings. The principal owners of the Euphrates group -are J. S. Pashlglan, Aram Pashiglan, Edward Terzlan ahd Barkis Terzlan. Tho Messrs. Pashglan are residents of Pasadena, Cal., and are also Interested, to a very large extent, with tho Tcrzian brothers of Nelson In the Golden Age Mining company. Lost V.C.

Presumably this refers io -events of some years ago. At Ottawa a bill to revalue the coldter settler lands is under consideration, the question having first come up several years ago. Thla conjunction of events remind* us that, whatever the circumstances at Mervllle, the land board and the Oliver government pursued such ^ course in connection with the Lister or Creston settlement that many returned men well qualified to become successful settlers were lost to the settlement antl the district. Lister Appraisals Far Apart The exact nature of the loss alleged to have been sustained by the provincial treasury, at Mervllle, has not been disclosed so far in the dispatches reporting the charges made by Mr. McKenzie of Similkameen, and It is not apparent whether peculation is euggeWd, or Irregularity In not mnk in»r proper returns of works done, or extreme inefficiency resulting ln waste to the figure named. If In the end it appears that the charge Is really one of criminal waste through Inefficient management, then It is something of the HUM kind as ■won alleged by various of the Lister settlers. That is to say, one of the .grounds of the petition of the Lister settlers for revalution of the government's equity in their tracts was thnt Inordinate expense was marked up against them, the operations costing so much under the land board's management that the appraisal by thc Dominion authorities, of the various betterments, did not correspond at all to what the men were compelled by thc government to accept responsibility for.

After some years nf adherence to that attitude, when about half of the net tiers were dispersed, the majority lost to th'- land, the government con- 1 the point and arranged a revalution. It was a good deed, several years late. Acquitting Premier Oliver of any intentions other than the best, in originally founding the fcferrUk and Lister settlements, there is no tetfM •hat the government's later attitude robbed tlie enterprises of their chances of read success, stsumlng thai _ real success would include a success for the large majority of those who on lhe government's reprcs. nt;i- tlons went on the land.

No actual refugees were among the passengers, but the -weight of opinion attributed tha Chinese crisis to Russian Soviet Influence and the Bolshevistic propaganda flooding southern China. "China at present is under mob rule swayed by the Soviet," said a Shanghai resident, who was .present throughout ths Hankow siege. "To avert disaster Britain must act, and act quickly with counter propaganda as well as a show of force," he said. "Southern China Is more Bolshe- vl.stic today that many parts of .Russia," said another traveler, "and Soviet societies abound there In spite of the efforts of the educated Chinese to drive them out." 1>i llt-my .1 Weh. i bai l»een elected pie.-,.lent of the The-ulu* .•*■'■. 1 MSfllnary, ■ Always Equally Good rSALADA" * EisAi I Maintains a tradition of excellence.

He leave* her without learning her name. She reproves herself for her unconventional action. Mr. Ostrander, her employer, plana to go abroad and agrees to leave the business fn her charge provided she will promise not to marry for three years. He urges her to have a Rood time. Beverly Greenway, nn athletic young married man, tnkes Derry in his car to look at nn old houee in New Jersey. They introduce themselves to a country club, as guests of a mythical Mr. Smith. Proston Smith, a New York alderman, turns up and addresses Derry as Mrs. (irefn- way ond they agree to take him back to town with them. Thoy etplala the situation. Smith take* them to the Recherche, a fashionable night elub. Derry sees I^andnr there. He makes no sign of evir havng ned her.

If you were willing to wait—would you be, Derry?" He raised his eyes to her now; such honest, boyish eyes, and so full of pleading and suffering. "Why. Bev!" she murmured, impressed and softened. "I've been fighting it since the first minute I set eyes on you. Now there's no fight left in me.' "Were ynu training for the fight at tho Corinthian—with your little amusements?" she inquired blandly "I arai trying to get you out of my mind," he said gloomily.

Lutherans In other countries may or may not do. but because lt has a bearing on the stand ot the Lutheran i lunch as regards the use ol thc Bible in the public school, I wish to refer to 11. The Lutheran church ln Sweden has always favored and worked fnr the reading and teaching ot the Blbl- in the public schools. The Lutheran church in Norway has :,;v..\- vtrong'.y favored the same thing, even more so than the sister .lunch In Sweden. This holds good (.f the Lutheran church ln Finland nel luinnaik.

While two bewildered Canadian racers tried to figure they dropped almost certain first und second places to Leonard Seppalla, kln-sr ol Alaskan drivers, a New Knglander, three years ln the game, started the hypnotist theory not an hour after Sep pal la's loam was stabled. SI Mason of Tamworlli, N. H., who slipped Into fifth nlace in the final standing yesterday, was the man who Intimated that Seppalla had more than a driver's control over his seven Utile Siberian malamutis. Superhuman Driver "That man is superhuman. Ik- passed HH at least once on every day of the race and 1 was not loafing any. I could not see that he drove the dogs. He Just clucked to them every now and then and they lay Into their collars harder thin I've ever seen dogs do It before. You have heard of some men whu hold an unnatural control uver others. Hypnotism I'guess you call It. I suppose Its just as likely to work on dugs, und S'ppalla has certainly that control.'" Seppalla's victory brought him $1300 fn prise money, while Emlle St. Goddard, Lc Pas, Man., received $500 for second plaoe, and Francois Dupuls, ^ueljcv, third,, for $200. Finish Close Leonard Seppalla finished the 44H- mile "race from North Conway in l:Mi-tt Heppalla's elapsed lime for tho 133 miles of tlie three-way race was 11:67:45. Emil St. -Goddard of The Pas, Man., captured second placo with time for the day of 4:06:25 and for the race of 12:10:40; Francois Dupuls of Quebec, leader the first two days, finished third with time of 4:20:45 for the day and 12:17:50 for the race, plus a five-minute penalty for a dog ou the sled. All Finished Together Because of tho different start lug I lines from North Conway this morning, the three leaders arrived in Wolfcsboro within a minute of each other. Dupuls breasted the crest of the short hill sloping to the towu first. Tearing down on the flnl*h line Ik* passed the barn where his dogs had been quartered before tlie ia-.. TIhj ■Hverved. The harness tangled and the rldlnff dog Jumped from the sled. Precious seconds were lost before Dupuls could lead his team across thc line. St. Goddard, thrice winner of The Pas derby, made & -smoother finish. Ail of the dogs with which he started the day were In harness, but were obviously tired. Theodore Kinge.ik, Alaskan Eskimo who drove Seppalla's second team with Togo as lead dog. as he was In the historic dash to Nome, took fifth place aud the last of the prixe money. His time for the dsy wn** 4:51:05 and fur lhe race was 14:38:45. Taken From Bull River by One Keen Shot by Cameron CRANtmooK, H.C, Feb. 13. **» The Bowness cup whieh in competed for by Cnuibrook.
