Miner Advertisements Bring Results Many people are undoubtedly influenced to invest in mining propositions by the rich specimens that are brought out to the cities and produced for their inspection. Specimen rock of this kind is no criterion of the average grade of ore upon which the success of the mine depends. It is most important that this sampling of an ore body should be intelligently understood and practised. Everyone connected with the practical part of mining feels that there is room for improvement in this matter, and the distribution of a little knowledge along the sampling line may not come amiss. An average sample of the commercial value of a mine is very difficult to obtain, and involves much care and labor by cutting across the lode at frequent intervals. In this it differs' from a specimen, which while indicating the nature of a mineral deposit from a metallurgical point of view does not give an idea of its average commercial value. As ore bodies vary in their physical behavior and make up, no set rules can be laid down; asl what would apply in one case' could not be used with any degree of correctness in another. It is all important at the outset |to determine at what intervals along the course of the strike the samples should be taken. In the case of a deposit of uniform width and continuity and evenly distributed values such as is often found in the regular sulphide ores, an interval of ten feet will generally suffice; if irregular in width, with lenses, and pockets of strictly high grade values, lesser intervals would be advisable. In this latter case extreme care is necessary in sampling at close intervals, in order to obtain accuracy in arriving at an average value of the whole of the lode or deposit as the case might be. A plan of the ore body showing its variations is of great assistance, corcesponding marks being made thereon to show at which point samples have been taken and to check at the regular points at which the sampling is to be performed, which should be accurately measured and marked out by driving pegs at the different intervals decided upon. Having obtained all the data concerning the physical aspect of the mineralization, checking by assay will reveal the value of deposit. The miner's pick, thnugh often the means employed to take a sample, is not half as effective as a moil. The pick will often insensibly hit the softer portions of the ore, which would not yield a true sample. Another bad habit is to knock off projecting pieces of ore which is likewise unreliable. By using a moil and an ordinary single-hand four-pound hammer a groove of uniform width can be cut across the ore and the whole carefully chiseled out, sacked and scaled. The size of the sample is also a question that needs to be decided, as in some places it is of course difficult to handle bulk of samples on account of transportation, but the correct idea to have in view is to cut a groove the minimum size of which will give a reliable and average sampling of the whole. This is much more to be desired as representative of what is occuring on a particular min- 'ng property than gouging out the rich streaks and exhibiting them as illustrating the value of the mine. Though not alone, in this particular, the prospector is the chief offender. Frequently mining men visit the Vancouver Mining club with samples of ore taken from some new discovery and on being questioned as to the size of the vein or deposit from which the mineral was tak en, it is generally of such width and extent that should the samples be true in their relation to the ore body they would have exposed a bonanza. This does not apply to the large, old-fashioned mine operators, who regulate their estimates with arithmetical precision, but particularly to that body of small mine operators and prospectors who do not realize the importance of correct sampling as being the preliminary to an immediate consideration of future work involving the expenditure of capital and upon the exactitude of the sampled values of which depends very largely the success or failure of the enterprise. It is men like this, who, though their intentions may be good enough, through ignorance of the proper system, expose themselves and their associates to error, loss of money, and consequent disap pointment. Now I would not like these re- marks to be taken with disfavor by those they are intended to apply to, from my association with the miner���and I claim to be able to speak authoritatively on the subject, having been on the most intimate terms with the miners of several continents���I know him to be a man of exceptional probity, and it is but justice to recognize this virtue. The miner, it is true, is confessedly too optimistic, but these very qualities are indispensable to his vocation. This tribute applies particularly to the courageous, indefatigable prospector. Whenever I have met him I have found him a man of hope, of courage and of generous impulse. The prospector is above all others the pioneer of civilization, antedating the missionary and the railroad surveyor, and it is his discoveries that have given life blood to modern industry. tr MEN'S WEAR that gives Satisfaction, and Reliable Boots and Shoes l\\ v are Specialties at LARKWORTHTS STORES Hazelton and Sealey jlil������ nn���uu������nu���nu���.mi���.nail���mi���im���im���hi Ingineca Hotel McDonell & McAfee, Props.

Balfour On Canada London, Dec, 2:���There was a great gathering at the Holborn restaurant on Saturday night to celebrate St. Andrew's day. Rt. Hon. A. J. Balfour, who presided, spoke upon imperial nationality. He referred to the great part his countrymen had played in reconciling the principle of nationality with that of ardent patriotism in various parts of the world. It was only by emulating that example that the future of the empire as a whole could be secured. The people of Canada and the other overseas dominions must have and will have their feeling of nationality. Every Canadian ought to want to feel that Canada has got its own principles for the development of the future. "Do not let us discourage that local patriotism," he said. "Let them cultivate their own feeling for the nationality of Canada for the Canadians, Australia for the Australians, but the whole for the empire. It was the misconception of this principle that led to the great disruption between Britain and the American colonies a century and a half ago, and perhaps after all it required that lesson to teach us what we know. ft m ft * ft ��� ft ft ��� ft ft ��� ��� For sale: Blacksmith and carpenter shop, with title to ground it stands on.
