Mickey purchased (lie Nightlmwk literal claim from Geo. Alexander for Minnesota Silver Company, Sur- rights lo ihe ground have Ken lured from the K. & S. M'lie site for ihe Ivanhoe concentrator im ideal one on which to build a mill. 1i^ within a few hundred feel of the \\ limits, is close 10 the line of both C. I*. K. and the K. & S., is at the influence of two creeks, and the lay of land is such that very little grading ' be necessary. Hie situation is icrilarlv fortunate for the Minnesota jmpanv as it places them directly in le with the Sunshine and Yakima, which iheir Stockholders are largely ie rested. The .plans lor the mill provide tor a KlCture 50x96 feet. It is to be built the most approved plant-* will be hushed with every device Which will rilitate cheap concentration, and no "tense will lv spared to make it what nodern mill should be. From the crushed ore goes through a pair id' bin the ore 14x30 mils, to Ihe lop of from which it is elevated the mill and is lead to the trommel screen and onto the Hartz jig 26x44 inch screen with 4!* inch stroke. This )\\g is to sort the large nuggets of clean ore which do not need further handling. This jig is the largest jig used in B. C. and in fact all the jigs are much larger I ban what have formerly been used in handling this class of ore. From the big HartZ jig the ore is handled again to another 14x30 roll which crushes finer than before and il is again conducted back to jig No 2. From there il goes back to the big high speed rolls 6x42. which will crush il as fine as powder. Elevated again, it is run through Ihe hydraulic classifier which sorts it by specific gravity into eight different classes. From there the ore is ready for its last process of separation from the quartz and gangue by the six other line screen jigs. From these jigs the ore is treated by eight Wolfley tables. These are considered the most modern and complete appliances in concentrating and by this process the To follow the course of the ore from | lead, /ine and iron can each be drawn un to the railway track is the easiest i off separately, which allows the ship- to get an idea of the appliances j ment of each product to the market in ht will be used.

The Minnesota Silver company will have invested, when the mill iscompleted, $300,000. This is all a cash outlay which has extended over a period of six years, and during all this time the company has taken out no ore except what came out in development and has shipped only a few cars, taking as yet practically no return for their large ^outlay. When the tram and mill start to run the whole amount of their investment will be returned to the company within a few weeks and the Ivanhoe will very quickly becomj known as one of the heaviest producers in British Columbia. At a later date we hope to give a comprehensive write-up of the mine, which will be interesting literature lo all who have followed the course of mining development in the Slocan. Mr. P. J. Hickey, who is superintendent of the Ivanhoe and under whose management the mine has been developed from the prospect stage to a property valued up in the millions, is undertaking to personally surprise the work of construction. His large experience in milling is a sufficient guarantee that his management of the mill will be equally as successful as his management of the mine. this belt I 3,000 feet long with a 150-foot head Ihe clean ' A 72-inch Pelton wheel will furnish the g except I power. through I The tramway will be 8,500 feet long. The first 4,000 feet will have a drop of only 400 feet the lower end drops 2,200 feet, making 2,600 feet of a drop between the mine and the mill, with no long spans. The tramway will be entirely automatic, only one man at the head end beig required to handle it. It will have a capacity of 150 tons in 10 hours. It is a little early yet to state just what make the tram will be, altho the management has this point almost decided upon. A gang of graders were put to work clearing off the site preparatory to commencing grading, and as soon as possible mechnics will be put on and framing commenced. The manage* HAPPENINGS IN BRIEF. E. M. Sandilands made a business trip to Kaslo on Thursday. Assessment work on the Mammoth claim on Wilson creek has shown up some good ore. Wm. Hood went to Whitewater on Thursday to make some alterations at the Whitewater mill. P. J. Hickey went to Nelson yesterday morning and will probably visit Spokane before returning. The C. P. R. has established a round- trip rate, good for 30 days, of $3.85 from Sandon to Halcyon and return. The Webb-Hodsdon concert team played to a small house in Spencer's on Monday night. Their entertainment was good. George FolltOt of Orillia, Ont., arrived in town on Tuesday. He will be engaged in the building business with his brother, Bert. There was a convention of officers of the Miners' Union in Sandon on Thursday. Jos. Gilnaugh of Kaslo and B. T. Mclsaac of Whitewater were in town. Jimmy Dimmick and Jim Grant left yesterday for Arrow lake to do assessment on the Mazma, claim near, Com- aplix, on which they have a good showing- Geo. Clark, Wm. Walmsley, Robt. Cunning and R. J. Broddy returned on Tuesday from *he Halcyon Springs, where they were spending a little holiday. A. B. Docksteader of Cody has been appointed returning officer for the Slocan division at the coming elections. The following are the points at which City, Robson, Jubilee Point (Howser Lake), Whitewater, Three Forks, Deer Park, Slocan Junction, Ten Mile (Slocan Lake), McGuigan. The anniversary parade of Silver Citv Lodge No. 39, j. O. O. Y., will take place lo the Methodist church at 7:3*1 p. m. to-morrow evening. Visiting brothers cordially invited to attend. Harry Housen, who was foreman at the Payne for iwo years and has been selling mining machinery in the Boundary for ihe past year or so, visited Sandon in the early part of the week. There was more trouble in Coontown last Saturday. Two of Ihe dusky damsels came together in a one-round contest, which ended in a knockout. The case was ventilated in the police court. There will be another scrap at the Central Music Hall on Saturday evening next. It will be Leedham vs. Fitzgerald, and will be a "sure 'null" fight. A deposit of $25 a side has been put up. " A bitter Atonement" will be played in Spencer's Opera House on Thursday evening next, May 3rd. The latent is largely local. Many of the seats have been spoken for already, altho the plan is no open yet. Jas. Yallance has purchased llie residence on Cody Ave. occupied hv J. G. Main from M. L. Grimmett. Mr. Yallance will make several alterations and hopes to move into the house in about a month. Mr. Main and family may reside in New Denver during the summer. Tom Jones returned this week from his long trip to the east. He visited Hamilton, Niagara Falls, Toronto and other interesting points in Ontario. He was in Toronto when the War Eagle and Centre Star took the long drop on the stock market. Tom says the eastern mind is somewhat hazy on mining matters yet but they are learning fast. Arthur R. Browne, agent for the Manchester Smelting Corporation, died a few days ago at Reigate, Surrey, England. Browne took options on a number of properties in the Slocan bearing high zinc values and left Kaslo for England a few weeks ago for the purpose of completing important negotiations concerning the same. He was in good health then. Browne was a son of Lord Richard Browne and a nephew of the marquis of Sligo. He was also a member of the Royal Geographical Society and of the American Institute of Mining Engineers. R. O. Matheson was up from Silver- ton on Tuesday nnd made a special trip to this office to inform the sporting editor that Kaslo has no corner on all Ihe fun on earth for the 24th. Silver- ton, he says, is in the celebration business right up to the neck, and people who are not troubled with heart disease and want to have a hot time ia a hot town can pull their freight for Silverton on the 24th of May and wade and wallow and luxuriate in the whirling, maddening, intoxicating excitement of 1 regular old-time, rip-snorting high- oolliiur places will be established : Kas- a re. lo Vinsworth, Pilot Bay, Argenta, rolling pain killer ot a celebration.

Editor Paystreak : Sir, Reports to the effect that 1 am an aspirant for Legislative honors in the coming elections are entirely unfounded and unauthorized by me. Yours etc. A. E. Teeter. After the Rambler-Cariboo A Kaslo dispatch to the Tribune says: It is reported that big capitalists are figuring on buying a controlling interest in the Rambler-Cariboo. Within the past few days several mining experts have examined the property. At the mine itself they have stopped sorting ore until the deal goes through. The principal owners of the mine are Cooley of Colfax, Washington, and banking interests there; J. B. McArthur of Rossland and Maclean Brothers of Palouse. Who Will be Recorder? Now that John Keen has resigned here will be a general scramble among Bpotitical heelers for the office of Mining ^Recorder for the Ainsworth division. **' John Keen held the four-fold office of ���assessor, collector, recorder and registrar of the county court, and, whatever ��� may be said of him politically, was a ���capable official. The duties are oner- jous and the office is not such as could Laurier, the Federal Czar. [Toronto Telegram.) The danger of having provincial governments in sympathy with the government at Ottawa was never so clearly expressed as in the letter wherein Wilfred Laurier attempts to lay down the law to Hon Joseph Martin in these words : "If party lines are to be maintained I will expect that the policy of the federal government be respected." These words from Wilfred Laurier simply mean that the government of a province is to respect, not the interests and desires of the people of that province, but "the policy of the federal government." Respect must take the form of subserviency, or it is not acceptable' to Wilfred Laurier. The tribute which he demands is the tribute which the people of Manitoba would not pay. It is the tribute which the people of Ontario should refuse to pay. It is as truly the public duty of a federal government to respect the rights and interests of a province as it is the duty of a provincial government "to respect the policy of the federal government."

Abandoned on the raging sea of politics! Thrown over the dump of oblivion like a crummy shirt! Overlooked like a white check before the cards are drawn ! Derelict within the swirling, eddying engulfing embrace of the whirlpool of despair ! Oh, why am I treated thus ? Why do they forsake me ? Have I not done their dirtiest work at every turn of the wagon-road of corruption ? Has my hand been idle or my pen been still? I, who smeared the honest working-man with the polluted ink of calumy ! That I should be turned out and my pay stopped like a scab dago ! Can this be? Do I dream ? Can it really be that I am not the guiding light of the Association party ? That I have been used ; used as a beast of burden and abandoned like a.sick horse on a sun-burnt prairie ? Oh, this is too much ! Where is that nomination ? Where, oh where are the fond hopes I harbored within my soul ? Where are the glittering golden guineas that were to be mine? Vanished, alas, where the woodbine twineth ! Gone glimmering beyond the horizon of hope ; gone to join the dago and the Finn. Alas, had I but served the miners half as well as I have served the Association they would not have thrown me down like this. The wav of the transgressor is hard, and the path of the paid speiler is beset with the thorns and devil clubs of jagged-edged disappointment and saw-toothed opprobrium." John Houston is out as a candidate in the Nelson riding. That he is running as an independent need hardly be remarked the editor of the Tribune could not be anv- thing but independent. He will be opposed to the last ditch by the Association crowd, the church people and all who value class privilege above public welfare, but the people will recognize their own interests and remember their friends. It is to such men as Houston that the Kootenav owes its greatness. With a fearless nature, a combatative disposition and and a tenacity of purpose which could lead only to success, he has come to the front by sheer force of character, and the opposition he has encountered has served to make him stronger in the public mind. A hater of shams, a despiser of pretense and a veritable iconoclast toward the conventionalities of the artificial in society and the formal in religion, he has made undying enemies among many whose friendship would encumber any public man, and has made unswerving friends among the class of men whose enmity would kill the aspirations of a shallow seeker for public office. John Houston is a man for the people, and the worst imputation against his public character is that he is socialistic and undiplomatic. While his socialistic tendencies are evidenced by a high regard for the public interests and his Ii^ck, of diplopiacy is the outcome of impatience with the methods of-putilic enemies, these imputations against his public character become recommendations for his public works. From that day of ten years ago when John Houston, ���bum print", walked into Nelson, to the day when two frion*hs hence he will ride out to Victoria as the people's ce Nelson has profited by Houston and ||OUsl0J ited by Nelson.

The best journalist in theworldcoJ not run a paper to any great extent on wind, and y editors are so foolish as to uphold the interests of add who will not reciprocate. There are a few wise heacl among the mining fraternity who saw these things ai act accordingly, but the percentage is light.

If vou don't see what you want, ask for it. That's the reason Socialists are in politics. Co-ooerative factories in Great Britain last year made profits aggregating over $1,000,000 on a capital of a little over $11,000,000. This is more than 10 per cent, on the investment. The pessimist would have much less chance to complain of the increasing wickedness of the world if men would pride themselves more In being just and less on being critical, ll seems so much easier for many to use slander, biting sarcasms and severe criticisms about their fellow men than lo look for the good in them. In New Zealanl the labor unions went inn* politics; they elected their brightest and most radical members to office; the result has been wholesome laws that not only protect labor from the exactions of grasping capitalists but they have been enforced to the letter and spirit, as the heavy lines and imprisonment of the violating employer** testify. Sweeden owns and operates _*,2X4 miles of railroad, and made a net profit in 1898 of $3,888,120, or over 81,740 per mile. Such a profit on our 180,000 miles of railway would amount to $414,280,000 per year, or enough to p iv for the roads in less than ten years. S.veeden gives a pension lo the railway workers for injury and old age and also has a fund for widows and children o' deceased employes.- Appeal to Reason. By a majority of \\oo to 68, it was re ���omme.nded last Saturday by the Toronto Typographical Union, that th.' various central bodies of labor in Canada take steps to form themselves into political organizations on independent lines from the old capitalistic political parlies, and wherever, in the opinion of our central bodies, the) are in sufficient numbers to warrant placing candidates in the held to endeavor to have direct representation in the various houses of parliament on lines similar to th* organized winkers of Great Britain, British Columbia, New Zealand, and Australia, and that hereafter members of labor organizations found on the platform and advocating the interest of the old political parties be regarded with suspicion, as decoys of the wage- earners, and should be regarded as opponents of the advanced labor movement. That was a day's work for labor. The social unrest, as evidenced by the numerous strikes and labor troubles ill the various parts of the L'nited States is simply appaling. One day last week one of the western daily newspapers published in one column news of labor troubles from fourteen different localities within its telegraphic range. The casual reader scarcely knows how general this unrest among working- men is until he finds a long list of them grouped in a newspaper. It is customer)' in daily newspapers to group dispatches relating to some general (heme, but with labor troubles il is different, iu those cases the practise is to scatter the, dispatches or sandwich them among the patent medicine ad- v ortisments so that the ordinary reader does not notice them. But much as the truth is hidden the facts remain, and the general unrest will not down. Since Governor Stunenberg, of Idaho, has finished his testimony before the investigating concerning the bull pen and the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, the republican papers are trying to show how the whole responsibility lay on Stunenbergsshoulders he had admitted il and he is a democrat, hence thai exonerates the republicans entirely ! And llie democrats come back with the statement that it was the republican national administration thai seat soldiers, hence it was their fault ! All this is done to hide the cnorinonity of the crime com- mttteed against free American citizens in Idaho by the party in power. Somebody is responsible for the maltreatment of those miners, and to attempt to shitt the responsibility in no way cures the main fact, which is that the machinery of government in the stale of Idaho is rotten from the ground up.

He held a star chamber session with a number of the mine managers in the Reco hotel on Wednesday night. George Kane, the Kaslo man who wants a nomination on the Martin ticket, was around town during the early part of the week looking up his chances as a candidate. A wing of the Slocan City labor part) say that thev are going to run a candidate in the labor interests. He is to be a man with Martin leanings, hut no names are mentioned. This would mean two Martinites in the field. Slocan City has more politics on hand than some folks have hay. On being nominated bv a convention of the People's Party at Nanaimo to contest Nanaimo Cit) constituency at the coming election, Mr. Ralph Smith said ol Premier Martin : "Hisprinciples are first class. If Joe Martin gets into, power and brings forward the principles he has laid down I will support him. But I don't think he will get the power, and if he gets the power I don't think he will bring them forward. To sav that I would not support the principles would be a misstatement, for if he brings forward a good principle I will certainly support it. The coal miners at Extension are out on strike. NOTICE.

SANDON THK HAYSTRKAK, SANDON, B. C, APRIL 28, 1900 f HEALTH AND KEAUTY. ���We have passed the days of eating ite pencils and pickles to encourage a ['Dining palor.and rules of beauty now i rules of health. The most beautiful nnan of the present time, a picture of Br feet health, is Miss Enid Wilson, who is recently married to Lord Chester- jld. By common agreement it has evil decided that there are only two in >e long line of celebrated English Bauties who can compare with her. are the late Duchess of Leinster id the famous Duchess of Devonshire. "herever Lady Chesterfield goes she almost mobbed by curious and ad- liring gazers. The corner stone of beauty is health; bid next, intelligence and trained taste, Ible to distinguish between the forces jhlch work for good or ill, with a keen ���e to personal defects which must be Hognized before they are corrected, 'hen we have learned our weakest pints the battle is half won for it needs Inly the will and knowledge of ways nut means to overcome it. "The women of to-day have much to *e thankful for iu the fact that the Itandard of taste is so much higher jlian it was a generation ago. It is -encrally acknowledged that the present generation is already reaping the Benefit of the wide-spread knowledge )f hygienic laws which has resulted in Improved diet, better sanitary regulations in <>ur homes, fresh air and >hysteal exercise. 1'lie increased stature ����( our young girls is one of the notable improvements in physique liirli is exciting comment. In the last [generation a woman of five feet eight Inches was so conspicuously tall as to nt tract annoying observation*.. In New {York society now there are fifteen [young women who are six feet tall and [several hnds who are over thnt. Tho ixiarding schools for boys are taking notice of this fact and are paying special [attention to exercises which develop height There was a time when tall girls were considered less subject to I colds, headaches and nervous attacks, hut thai foolish idea belongs to the past "The reward of leading a hygienic life is almost immediate improvement of bodily and mental health and wjth health comes a clear complexion. Fresh air, sensible diet and pure water are prime factors in beauty building. There is a woeful amount of misdirected energy and virtue expended iu the cause of so-called plain living Plain living is not scientific living, (hie man's meat is only too often another man's poison, and occupations and habits must be considered in diet. Pleasure is a direct aid and stimulant to digestion, hence the importance of banishing all disagreeable topics of conversation from the dining room. "A woman should study her own organization, till she has learned what foods she can best assimilate, and feed herself into a state of physical beauty. She can be just as active at 05 as at 25, if she lives right. She must acquire the cunning and gentle art of cultivating herself and make it such a habit that it will bo as natural as breathing. She makes or mars her complexion by the food she eats. The best food for a beautiful complexion is that which is most readily assimilated. She will avoid over-feeding and equally shun the other extreme of not taking sufficient nourishment. "As a rule, Americans do not take enough liquid food. Two quarts daily are needed. The salad, also, is often wanting on the American table. A tomato and lettuce salad with mayonnaise dressing is an agreeable way of taking calomel and by which you receive all the benefits and none of the harm of that powerful drug. Spinach contains salts of potassium, iron and other things good for the complexion. Tea and coffee are valuable stimulants when used in moderation. In summer the fruit phosphates are full of medicinal value, especially the wild cherry. Herb drinks seem to be the fillip that Nature needs and have no baneful effects. Most people should use fruit in greater abundance. The antiseptic properties of the pineapple are not half appreciated It affects the skin most beneficially and is said to banish moth patches. A diet of fresh rare beef and oranges with coarse grains in small quantity has been known to work positive transformation in a very short time. The beauty of a famous French woman was attributed to the fact that oranares formed the principal part of her food and she was credited with eating three dozen a day. The orange possesses extraordinary virtues especially in its action on the liver and has a most beneficent influence upon the whole system." INTERESTING CONCENTRATES. Hedley Sinclair, the engineer on the tug Ymir, who was badly scalded some weeks ago, was discharged from the Nelson hospital this week A fatal stabbing affray is reported from Fernie. A white man by the name of "Scotty'' was cut open by an Italian. The wounded man lived but a few days. Upwards nf 12,000,000 worth of new mining machinery for Sonth African gold mines has been conditionally bid upon by American machinery manufacturers recently The troubles between tbe mine owners and miners in Montana has been de dared off, n settlement being reached on the basis of 13.25 for eight hours per day. Concentration of low grade cinnabar ore is not ordinarily deemed effective or advantageous; reduction of such ore is not expensive; the cost is in the mining and no method of handling it could lessen the latter. It is reported that a law making it compulsory to use an electric exploder for discharging blasts in mines will be introduced at the next Colorado assembly. Coal Mine Inspector Denman says it is the only safe method. Possible and sometimes probable loss in commercial assays for silver arises from silver remaining in the slag, absorbed by cupel or votalized in the crucible, scorilier or cupel. Crucible aseays are usually the least liable to such possibility of loss.

Probably as large a pay chute as any in California is that of the Gwin mine, Calaveras county���1400 feet in length. Nitro glycerine freezes at 46 degrees and giant powder when not actually frozen, may become chilled, thus needing care and attention. Native crystals of Michigan copper show about the same percentage of silver and iron that are found in refined eleotrolytic copper. From 20 to 50 per cent, more water can be evaporated per pound of fuel with a well-arranged, clean boiler than with one that is badly scaled. Salt Lake City, Utah, miners are forming an independent smelter com pany. Their project includes works for the, treatment of zinc ores. Ordinary yellow bar soap rubbed well into the threads of a pipe (the grease being thoroughly removed) will make a pretroleum-tight joint. Whenever tar is used for a mine cable linseed oil should be added to keep the tar from adhering, both ingredients to be mixed while warm. Aluminum and steel are of equal strength in ratio to their weight. A small percentage of copper in aluminum increases its tensile strength in proportion to its weight. The Empire mine, Grass Valley, Cal., has been worked continuously for just fifty years. It haB produced nearly $8,000,000 and is now being worked at a depth of 2500 feet on the incline. Chrysoprase is a rare variety of chal cedony, is of value. It is found in limited quantities in Tulare connty, Cal , in Jackson county, Ore., near Rutland, Vermont, and lower Silesia. The P. S. land department considers a placer location covering 160 acres as one claim on the assumption that eight locations are united in that amount; on each $500 of work must be done to secure patent. The Deacon'ii Dreania "May you take this lesson home with you to-night, dear friends," concluded the preacher at the end of a very long sermon. "And may its spiritual truths sink deep into your hearts and lives to the end that your souls may experience salvation. We will now bow our heads in prayer. Deacon White, will you lead?"' There was no response. "Deacon White," this time in a louder voice. "Deacon White, will you lead?" Still no response It was evident The Deacon rubbed his opened them wonderingly. "Is it my lead?
