Without wearying our readers with too many details, let us take one line wliieh will appeal to ever// householder and which sufficiently illustrates the point. Last year Britisli Columbia imported $5,000,000 worth of poultry, butter and eggs; yet we are telling the whole world, and witb perfect: truthfulness, that this is an ideal country for the raising of poultry and the pasturing of cattle. The only possible comment upon such a state of affairs is that it is a reproach lo the Province, and one which cannot too quickly be removed. Could anything he more anomalous than for British Columbia to import any farm produce. There is not a single item which cannot be raised here of equal quality and, under normal conditions, at as low a cost as in the most favoured spots elsewhere. Vet we import the bulk of our dairy requirements; more than 80 per cent, of our meat, and (10 per cent, of our flour. Most surprising of all, we import no inconsiderable percentage of our fruit and vegetables. The only remedy for this and the only means of reducing the cost of living, whicii will soon become an absolute neces- city, is to cultivate more land and to furnish the transportation facilities and organise the commercial agencies necessary for marketing the products of the farm to the best advantage. Iu view of the enlightened railway policy adopted by the .McBride Government and the splendid appropriations made fov roads, bridges and trails, it may for the moment be conceded that the Government is alive to the necessities of the case in this respect. But there is something else which the Government must do, and do at once. That is, either co-operate with private capital iu working out an effective colonization scheme, or itself undertake to colonise. Of the two methods the former is preferable both because it is on every ground desirable to encourage private enterprise and never desirable for a Government to assume a larger share of responsibility iu commercial development than is absolutely necessary. Moreover, colonizing is a specialty and involves an amount of detailed work with which it would be unwise to saddle a Government Department, if it could he avoided. It ought, therefore, to be possible to offer such inducements to a ' lion a fide" colonisation companies of satisfactory financial status to enable thein to successfully launch and curry out their undertaking, and there is no doubt that the electorate would sustain the Government in auy such project. There are large tracts of lands in the Province under reserve, especially those which have been set aside for University purposes. There is no reason why a portion of this should not be placed under the direction of private enterprise with such guarantees as would he satisfactory to the Government. Failing this, the latter must itself undertake the establishment of special agencies foi- bringing iu British horn settlers of the agricultural class, who will remain on the soil and lie content to be farmers. Hitherto, thnt has been the difficulty. Agriculturists selected by such an efficient and popular agency ns the Salvation Army and placed on cleared land on Vancouver [sland have already abandoned their holdings for the lure of the city and the higher wages offered there; and this in spite of the fact that they were granted special privileges ami provided with winter work at good wages when tliev could not be receiving an income from the land. The fact of lhe matter is that no agency has yet got hold nf the right class of settlers for Brit ish Columbia, and it is not likely that this -will bc done except through the assistance of the Government, and that assistance will have to take a different form than a capitation fee or an advance to the Salvation Army. The necessity for Government assistance is further emphasized by the heavy cost of land clearing and the scarcity of labour. It will be necessary either to attract farmers with considerable capital, or fo advance the money for clearing the land; whether it is advanced to fhe settler or expended under a Government scheme. Xo agriculturist of the labouring class will ever be able fo afford to settle on Vancouver Island land and clear it himself. The last phase of this question is its economic aspect, whicii demands treatment in a separate article, but it, is obviously the duty of the Government to appoint a Commission and investigate tiie conditions which prevail in different parts of the Province with reference to the distribution and marketing of farm produce. It is doubtful if, at any rate on Vancouver Island, more than 50 per cent, of the fruit crop is marketed at all. It is a fact known to The Week that while thousands of new .fruit trees are being planted farmers are ploughing up their apple orchards because they cannot make them pay. It is a fact that well-known fruit-growers in the Duncan district have realised no more than 135 cents a box for choice apples which have been retailed in Victoria at $1.75. It is a fact that even pears do not always pay for bringing into Victoria, and that in known instances the price realised bas not yielded enough to cover the freight ebarges. It is a fact that a well-known fruit-grower in the Saanich district offered an orchard of good apples at $1 a tree to anyone who would gather tlieni. And all this in the face of an apple show in Vancouver which is a world-heater and in which Vancouver Island fruit has taken one of the first prizes. Surely here is food for reflection and work for a Minister of Agriculture. BUILDING BY-LAWS The recent fire has concentrated public attention upon the subject of building (•(instruction, and especially upon the authority whicli the City possesses to impose restrictions for the public safety. Anyone who studies the existing By-laws will speedily discover that the actual control of civic authority amounts to very lil tie, and that tliere is room for very extensive alterations in this direction. As matters stand at present it is possible to erect a wooden building right in the heart of the business section, as evidenced by lhe block now being built near tbe Empress Theatre, lt is possible to build a ramshackle flrctrap like ihat which disfigures the south-east corner of Cook and Fort, provided you cover il over with a ihin metal veneer and two coals of paint. Of course, it may be objected lo this criticism thai the latter building is outside lhe business section, but it is in such a position as to endanger all lhe near-by residences if it once caught lire. The Week understands ihat the City Solicitor, the City Engineer and the Building Inspector are all busily engaged on a new set of By-laws dealing with this question, They cannot too quickly bring their deliberations to a conclusion and invest somebody witb authority lo place an effective control upon the vagaries of those who are so indifferent to lhe public safety. Whilst on the subject of building and fires if may be well In point out that lhe extra money paid for insurance mi defective structures, often represents far more than the interest on lhe additional outlay which would hc required to make thein safe. Take the case of lhe new Pither iv. Leiser Block, whicii is one of the best structures in the AVest and which would be a credit to any city. The rate of insurance on tllis building is 75 cents, while the rate ou the Five Sisters Block was $1.75, and that was by no means the highest rated block iu tlie city. When the high pressure water system is fully installed and available it is probable that a block such as the Pither iV- Leiser could be insured for 50 cents, and nothing could more strongly emphasize the importance and value of fireproof erections. THE WATER SUPPLY The AVeek has been asked to express an opinion as to the effect of the salt water system on the recent fire. There are so many points involved that it would not bc safe to express any decided view beyond saying that the highest stream thrown by the hose which was attached to thc salt water feed did not reach more than (it) feet vertically, and since it was officially announced that this branch of the Service registered a pressure of 1(10 pounds at the plant, it is obvious that many things must have happened between the engine and its delivery point. A pressure of KiO pounds should under favorable conditions give a safe working head of at least 200 feet. That it failed to do so was, of course, due in part to the friction in the hose and the nozzle. It may or may not have been due also to defective suction, but in any event it would lie well to have an expert opinion on the subject of hose and nozzles. There is a loss that requires explanation and the cause is not very clear. THE SONGHEES' RESERVE There is jubilation on every band at the settlement of the Songhees' Reserve question. If Mr. .1. S. II. Miatson were not a very modest man he would be in danger of requiring larger headgear. Of course, there are a few "kickers" including the ten Indian women, who protested against being moved on. But, however unwilling, these ladies had to submit to tlieir lords and masters. No doubt, in time they will become reconciled to living a couple of miles further out. An objection has been raised that it is a pity to surrender any portion of the water front on Esquimalt Barbour, in view of the re-establishment of a navy there, and no doubt this objection is well grounded, bill the objectors should remember that there were two parties to the bargain and that neither Mr. Matson nor the Qovernment could force the Indians into any arrangement, and unless Ihe new site met with iheir approval they would not have consented to leave the old Reserve. 11 was reasonable ihat lhe now Reserve should have some water front, and under lhe circumstances The Week believes that the arrnngemonl is the best thai could havc been made. As tn the argument thai properly iu lhe neighbourhood nf lhe new Reserve will be depreciated in value, that may be admitted, but some sacrifice had In be made mi both sides in order In obtain possession of the nld Reserve. The Indians have sacrificed their personal convenience and all iheir sentimental considerations. The property owners may sacrifice a little in nne direction, bui it is more than made up by lhe general development made possible directly by the settlemeiil nf this troublesome question.

Now fnr an amused public in- terest and a rally in support nf a scheme which Sunday baseball vetoes. THE WEEK, SATURDAY NOVEMBER 5, 1910 At The Street Corner By THE LOUIMQBR I wonder why it is that when the Moving Pictures have anything to do with the American Army in action they invariably depict the heroic troops running into battle carrying a flag. It cannot be that thc Americans who consider themselves so far ahead of the times in all matters, really keep up this obsolete practice. But for some reason or other the flag is always in evidence. My own belief is that it is introduced merely that the hero may have an opportunity of making a grand-stand play and recapturing the standard in the last act. * * * There are lots of other things whicii 1 wonder about. For instance, why do fruiterers leave their fruit displayed on the ground where the boxes of apples and other luscious fruits afford a public convenience to all the dogs in town. Much has been written about germs floating about in air which are liable to find a lodgment in articles exposed to the heavens and I suppose that we have to take our chances in that respect, but I do think that it should bc illegal to place edibles where they can be sniffed at by our canine population. * * * There can be little doubt but that the new Liquor License Act and its strict enforcement has not succeeded in checking drunkenness on Sundays. I have seen just as many intoxicated men walking the streets on the First day of the week during the past month or so as were in evidence before the passing of the new law, nor is the reason far to seek. If a man is in the habit of taking a drink every day and knows that he can't get it on Sundays, he takes a bottle home with him and consumes infinitely more than he would do if he had to buy it by the glass. Why on earth the English law cannot be adopted in Canada is something that passes my comprehension. It is found to work well there; no hardship is worked on anyone and it docs away with the need for buying the "mickey." Men who havc houses of tlieir own usually havc a cellar, and being married men and for the most part possessing a family, they havc natural interests and restrictions to their appetites which find no counterpart in the lives of those who arc merely roomers, sojourning in a strange land and with absolutely nothing to do on Sunday. They may be regular church-goers, but church at the most will only take up three hours in the day anil a man need not be a teetotaller even if he be an car- nest Christian. Of course he can buy a drink with his meals, though the reformers tried hard to prevent him doing that, but many men, and good men, too, are accustomed to take more than tllis. So they buy a bottle and having nothing in particular to do they drink more of it than they should and the consequence is that they cither lie in bed in a comatose condition or they walk through the streets directly proving that the law cannot make a man sober. So many men leading absolutely sober and decent lives havc made similar remarks tn mc that I feci that there must bc something in my argument. * * * I am always sorry when a public holiday turns out to be wet. There are so many people who depend on these holidays 'almost entirely for their recreation and their disappointment must be great. And yet it is a curious thing how often we see this happen. However, though last Monday was wet everybody seemed to be cheerful and the crowds which thronged the various theatres in the evening seemed thc reverse of woebegone. The Skating-Rink on Fort Street which opened on that day was visited by a merry crowd who evidently enjoyed the excellent arrangements made for their benefit. A Skating-rink is a splendid winter resort, as it gives pleasure and exercise to many who would otherwise have nothing to do on dreary days.

He was invariably represented as carrying a travelling tub with him whereby he excited the ridicule of the nations. Now that baths arc a necessary adjunct to every house there is no need for the Briton to take this necessary precaution, but the cold tub still seems to arouse comment and amusement. Why this 1 should bc I cannot say, but the practice would appear to be the exception rather than the rule in every place outside the Old Country. I think that on the whole people here bathe more than they do at home, but they pre- j fer hot baths. There is no doubt that j the hot bath is more cleansing than j the cold, and the latter is not in-' dulged in so much for the sake of j getting clean, but as a refreshing commencement for the day's work, 1 However this does not seem to strike the average Canadian or Amrican and the cold douche cannot be said to be a national institution. "Other people, other opinions," but give me my cold plunge and thc hot bath can be relegated to a back place.

It has come to be the custom to estimate ventriloquists by degree of ability, so similar have come to be their "acts" in every feature save, possibly stage setting and wardrobe. There are a dozen of them of note in vaudeville, but the performance of one is much like the performance of another. The one exception to the rule is Alf. Camm who, with "Theira" and "Chuck" is now touring the Sullivan and Considine circuit, and will be at the Grand Monday. Than Camm there is no more clever ventriloquist and certainly there is none more "different." It is difficult to choose words to express the peculiar excellence of the violin playing of Romain. He is a master of technique yet his capacity for expression is even more notable. His tones are remarkable for their volume, but he sacrifices none of their sweetness or any of his wonderful sympathy. Notwithstanding that he dresses in character and that many of his selections are popular he may rightly claim the title of virtuoso. Besides the above acts there will be The Dancing Brown Boy, With Reckless Feet, who will stage the dancing sensation of the year, and there are the regular features of Mr. Price and the pictures. The World and His Wife William Faversham will present Charles Frederic Nirdlinger's great play, "The World and His Wife," at the Victoria Theatre Monday, Nov. 7. Scandal and its far reaching effect on the innocent is the theme of the play. The story deals with the household of Don Julian, in Madrid. Don Julian, a rich banker lives in luxury with a charming wife, Teodora, and a part of his household there is Don ErlicSto, a loyal, true friend of both of them. But the gossips of Madrid are unable to understand, and there has been a good deal of unpleasant gabble. The three interested parties talk the situation over frankly. They laugh at it all, but Ernesto has seen that in the face of the gossip the only thing for him to do is to leave Madrid. He has packed up and is going; but the tragedy of it all has moved too swiftly. When Ernesto goes out to purchase his tickets the insult is hurled at him in a public cafe, by a notorious bully, one of the best swordsmen in Spain. Ernesto knocks him down, and a duel is arranged. But in the meantime, Tedora has unfortunately heard that her husband and Ernesto have quarreled, and she conies in her anxiety to Ernesto's room. Julian considers that it is his place to defend his wife's honor; he takes Ernesto's place and is wounded. He comes to Ernesto's room, and there finds his wife. Teodora might have remained in hiding, but as her THE New Grand Week November 7 The Celebrated Musical Comedy Stars FREDERICK HALLEN and MOLLY FULLER In "A Lesson at n P. M."

As a composer, her work is full of strong expression, moving pathos, and, when she feels so moved, an irresistibly delicious and dainty humor, everything she writes bearing lhe stamp of a strongly marked and intensely artistic nature. Liza Lehmann was born in London, thc daughter of Rudolf Lehmann, the eminent artist, whose "Hundred Pencil Drawings of Celebrities," signed by themselves, was purchased by llic British Museum. Her maternal grandfather was Robert Chambers of Edinburg, author of "Vestiges of Creation" and founder, with his brother, of "Chambers Journal" and the big publishing house of Chambers. It was the mother's ambition to have her daughter become a professional singer. Thc child early showed her musical tendencies, composing little things and singing them to thc cocks and hens in the back yard, when, as she tells us in her own charming language, she "could not stifle the music and felt the need of a vent!" Jenny Lind heard her sing one day, at about this period, and said: "If God gives me thc strength, some day I should like to teach that child." When she reached the age for study, however, her mother's health became so delicate that Mme. Lehmann accompanied her to the south of France. Here her lirst serious vocal work commenced, under the mother's instruction, a task for whicii she was eminently fitted, as she had studied under thc best teachers of the day. The elder Mme. Lehmann never appeared in public, but a number of songs published over the initial! "A. L." are her contribution to music. Several years were passed in this manner, the winters in France study- i ing with her mother, and the sum- : mcrs in England, where Jenny Lind ; helped her with advice and permitted her to be present when she gave her vocal lessons. Later on her work i was continued under Signor Alberto Randegger, and her debut as a so- l prauo was made with great success ' in London at a Monday Popular concert. Composition was studied under Rannkilde of Rome, Frcudcnbcrg of Wiesbaden, and llamish MacCunn of London. Mme. Lehmann's public work as a singer covered a period of nine years. During this time she was in great demand all over England, and Joachim engaged her for his Philharmonic Concerts in Berlin. At this period she made the acquaintance of Mme. Schumann, who heard her sing in London and invited her to Frankfort for three weeks, that she might instruct her in the traditions of her husband's songs. But she tells us that in spite of her friends and her success, she was not happy in this, life, that she suffered from nervousness when singing in public and longed to devote herself to composing, for which she could not lind time in her busy singer's life. In 1894 she married Herbert Bedford, an English artist, also an accomplished musician. After this she gladly gave up her public work-, and has since devoted herself exclusively to composition. Her music touches all chords, from grave to gay. In the cycle of "Nonsense Songs" from Alice in Wonderland, Mine. Lehmann has provided a treat as rare as it is delightful and so aptly has she caught the spirit of Lewis Carroll's immortal work, that music and book might almost havc been written by the same person. But it is by her wonderful setting for the selections from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, called "In a Persian Garden" that Liza Lermann is best known. This was also her first work of any length, and on it she lavished all the wealth of her rich imagination and rare artistry. Many lengthy and critical analyses have been written of this composition, whicii must be considered as a musical classic of supreme importance, in every way worthy of the celebrated poem that inspired it. It is interesting to note, in her own modest biography of her public life, that she speaks warmly of its reception in America: "It was the American public," she says, "that took it up so warmly, and now that it has gone around the world, 1 still regard America as the Persian Garden's Fairy Godmother, to the kindness of whose reception I owe everything." From this beginning Mme. Lehmann has gone ou till today her songs are the most popular of all the modern composers, her thorough and practical knowledge of vocal resources and effects giving her work exceptional finish and symmetry. As a writer of classicly beautiful and perfect music, she must take high rank, while thc wealth and poetry of her imagination place her among the world's great musicians. Professor Dickinson of Philadelphia says of her Persian Garden: "Liza Lehmann has produced a work which, as a contribution to the ever- rising fame of Omar Khayyam, must bc given a place beside thc vivid illustrations of Elihu Vcdder."

TEMPORARY OFFICE: TWENTY-FIVE YEARS WITH HANNINGTON OF BRIGHTON RING US UP! 80S FORT STREET, VICTORIA PHONE 2149 THE WEEK, SATURDAY NOVEMBER 5, 1910 MEXICO! The Greatest Mining Country in the World Stands First in Silver, and Third in Gold Production We are Largely Interested in one of the Richest Gold Producing Districts in the State of Sonora* Should you desire full information call and see us* Mr. Hind a well known Victoria Engineer gives the following report of his investigations: Victoria, B. C, 6th August, 1910. TO THE V. SONORA MINING SYNDICATE, Victoria: Gentlemen,—I beg to report that I have at your request completed an investigation covering a large area of the District of Altar, State of Sonora, in the Republic of Mexico, having particular reference in such work to the Placer Fields and existing conditions of the District. I find that there are a number cf there fields, the best known being The Las Palomas, San Perfecto, Las Norias, Quitobac, Sonoyta, La Cieniguilla, Boludo, San Rafael, Santa Rosa, La Durasno and several smaller ones. These placers are by no means a new discovery, but have been worked for probably 200 years, as is evidenced by the profusion of old shafts, surface workings, ancient towns and other signs of one-time activity. A number of these fields were visited and the ground inspected, and in every instance it is interesting to note that there is a system of gold-bearing quartz veins in the hills of the vicinity, these without doubt being the feeders for the placer grounds. The general conditions have been eminently favorable for the erosion of these veins, and in fact such erosion has taken place to the extent of probably hundreds of feet. During this process of erosion the gold liberated from the veins has been deposited with the gravels on the lower benches, thus forming deposits of varying values and thickness, and subsequently owing to he presence of lime in the percolating waters a gradual process of cementation has taken place, and it is owing to this cementing that only a comparatively small amount of the deposits have been worked. From the earliest days of the country the Yaqui and Papago Indians have been prosecuting their search for the yellow metal, and in the District there art thousands of acres that have been worked over by them down to the cemented gravels. Owing to their lack of machinery and appliances they were only able to work the loose surface deposits, or such portions of the cements as were abnormally rich, and whilst there are no records of the amounts taken out that can be relied upon, it is estimated that hundreds of millions of dollars have been won. So far as it is possible to judge the conditions in the cemented gravels have been practically the same as in the loose overburden, in which case it is conceded that the majority of these known fields will give large returns when these cements are worked. Owing to the lack of water, and the difficulty so far experienced in satisfactory dry crushing, there has been but little real work done in recent years, or at sny rate until, at Boludo, Mr. Mitt Quenner devised his pulverizer. This is a revolving barrel-shaped grizzly, on trommels, the inside being fitted with steel hammers or slugs on chain links and attached to the centre shaft, and revolving at high speed. This machine breaks the cements from the rock or boulders, and a portion of the latter is ejected as valueless, thus making a preliminary concentration of values, and the cement and finer particles of rock are pulverized and the gold freed. The resultant pulp is then treated by being run over a "dry washer," a somewhat crude concentrating device capable of considerable improvement, and the gold saved thereon. The saving by these washers is fair, but not close, but with some slight improvements Engineer's Report made to it, I think the machine will be capable of making a high extraction if carefully worked, and taking into consideration their original cost and the cost of operation i would be hard o replace them entirely, although if necessary further machines of an approved type could be installed to increase the saving. The Quenner Pulverizer has a proven capacity of over 0 tons of cemented gravels per hour, and requires less than 30 h. p. to operate it. The country is generally a dry one and water is scarce. This condition has made it necessary in most instances to treat the ores by dry methods, and has undoubtedly developed the present efficiency of such methods. With gasoline or oil engines, and dry pulverizers and washers the lack of water has no particular terror for the operators, as for camp purposes it is always easy at small expense to obtain such quantities as may be required. The climate is favorable for mining, as there is very little wet or cold weather, and although at times extremely hot I did not notice that work was in any way interfered with. The supply of labor is plentiful, the Mexicans and Indians being excellent miners, in fact, this seems to be their onl ymeans of livelihood, and wages range from $1.00 to $1.5 per day for native labor. Skilled labor is paid for at about the same rate as prevails in our own camps. I made arrangements for you for the purchase on favorable terms of an exploration of approximately 1,000 pertinencias (2,500 acres) covering a portion of the well known San Rafael placer fields. Owing to the nature of the placer deposits it is impossible without going to great expense, to obtain a fair average of the values, and more particularly so as some of the gold is very coarse, nuggets from $1.00 to $5.00 being not uncommon, whilst fro malmost every placer field mentioned there are well authenticated reports of nuggets of large size being taken, many of them being valued at hundreds of dollars. The most prospecting work done in any one place has been carried out at Las Palomas, by R. K. Neill, of Spokane, and in his report he estimated average values of $0.70 per yard for a depth of 50 feet over a prospected area of 100 acres, with an estimate of $6,000,000 worth of gold contained in this prospected area, and this he states without taking into account the enriched gravels on bedrock, running from 1 to 7 feet thick, for which he got values of approximately $30.00. Mr. Neill's estimate of working costs is $0.12^ per yard, using the dry methods as adopted there for up to date practice. At Boludo three companies are working on bedrock, and whilst no definite returns can be obtained, I penson- ally watched several of the cleanups, and found that their ground was averaging from $7.00 to $10.00 per ton. The San Rafael Placers, under option to the company, have been worked over on the surface by Mexicans and some prospect, and working shafts have been sunk in the "argamasa" or cemented gravels and values as high as $8.00 per ton were obtained. The thickness of the gravels here is as yet an undetermined factor, but here are large areas which can be seen to be from 20 or 30 feet upwards in thickness. It would be difficult to estimate the actual values contained in this ground, but there are known places in the gravel that will contain not less than $1.00 per ton, and on one of these selected places I should advise that a complete outfit be installed. The total cost of such an outfit, including Quenner Pulverizer, gasoline engine, conveyors and washers will not exceed $7,000, and as practically no provision has to be made for the native workmen employed the further sum of $500 would be sufficient for preliminary headquarters for the management and white employees. As a low estimate of the values contained, I will assume that the first place on which the equipment is placed will yield $0.60. The cost of mining and treatment should not exceed at an outside estimate $0.25, which would give a net profit of $0.35 per ton, and the machine will treat 400 tons per day. There would thus be a net profit of $140.00 per day or upwards of $3,5oo per month. I should further' recommend that a sum of not less than $6,000 be devoted to the purchase of a Quenner Prospecting Mill and equipment, and that the whole of the Company's property be gone over and thoroughly sampled. After such areas of pay gravel as may exist there are definitely located, it would then be for the Directors to decide whether to install furher machines and so increase he output, or to sell or lease the ground so proved to contain pay values. By such prospecting and sampling any ground considered not to have sufficient values (and in this great area we may safely assume that portions will be practically of no value to us) could be abandoned, instead of being carried on and taxes paid therefor. The annexed extract from the "Mining World" of July gth, 1910, will be of undoubted interest to you, and I therefore append it for your perusal: "AMERICAN OPERATIONS IN MEXICO. "In 1823 there was passed the first act enabling for- eigenrs to own and operate mines in Mexico and in the following year three great English corporations accepted the invitation, being the United Mexican Association, he Anglo-Mexican Associaion and the Adventure Co., the three practically confining their activities to the camps of Guanajuato and Pachuca. Now there are about 1200 legitimate mining companies of outside origin and control operating profitably in Mexico, besides many others engaged in developing ground that is promising in appearance, and still other concerns unincorporated. "The majority of all these are American, and the result that, despite the fabulous sums that have been taken from the ground throughout the centuries, since the Cor- tez era, Mexico now ranks fifth among the countries of the world in production of lead, fourth in gold, second in copper and first in silver. It is only within the last few years that any serious attention was paid to the mining of gold in the reoublic, but now there are several camps, heretofore rated as strictly silver producers, which are scoring greater yields in the yellow than in the white metal." In conclusion I beg to say that the ground obtained by you gives great promise of being a large producer of Gold (which is the only metal on which the price never varies) and assured careful management I can with confidence recommend it as a legitimate enterprise capable of making large returns upon the money invested.

"Think- you the town is doomed?" said I to my friend Socrates, while we watched the red flames sweep through the mighty dry goods house of David. ■'Fear not, trembling one," lie replied, "the gods will protect these people who truly believe in their protection rather than in their own puny efforts." "It is even so," I said in wonder. "Look you yonder, seest thou that puny stream of water playing upon thc Driard? See, it reaches but to the second storey, and lo, it is the third which is afire." "No matter. Have we not a salt water system and a new fire chief? Though verily his coming and going is likely to cause destruction on the streets, pcr-.idventure he level some of you to the ground." Just then I caught sight of another dear friend of mine whose dwelling place was in thc heart of thc doomed building. "Friend," 1 quoth, "has't saved aught?" "Yea, all." he replied, "even my great grandmother. I carried her out." I complimented him on his bravery, but Socrates with a wise smile drew forth from my friends pocket the ancient lady's photograph. At that moment, my attention was distracted by the loud cries of the populace for salt water. "Where is the man," they cried, ''who will unlock the floods of deliverance?" "Distress not yourselves," said Socrates, "lie will be here in due course. Perchance the guardians of thc city have hindered him lest pcradventure he hc an impostor." And it was even so that they had greatly delayed his coming. And there wcre divers people laden with tobacco, jewels, trousers and other articles whicli they conveyed to places of safety from whicii they subsequently, in many cases, disappeared. My attention was now attracted to a solid and fireproof looking gentleman of inscrutable countenance who was gazing solemnly at the merciless flames which enveloped the old historic block of romantic name. "They're gone," he sighed, "all the old records that the city fathers will so grieve to lose." "If they be the doin's of the city feythers," quoth Patrick passing by, "begorra, its glad they ought to bc." Many other captious remarks did I hear. "The town's dead, anyway," said the man from Vancouver. "Not dead, but sleeping," replied Socrates. Then sang the man from Vancouver, "Victorians, awake, salute the happy morn. Vour rotten old Fivc Sisters block Burned down before the dawn." "lias it?" exclaimed the Victoria man who was watching the fire from Broad Street. "Great Caesar's Ghost! and I had a whole hour in which I might have saved my stuff!" But the world goes merrily on. Footpads Hold Up Archbishop The following despatch to thc archbishop's palace, St. Boniface, created consternation recently in Winnipeg: Meredith, New Hampshire.—A sensation was created here by thc hold-up by a gang of footpads of Archbishop I.angevin of Manitoba. His grace was here in connection with educational work, lie had parted from some clerical companions and was proceeding homeward when a masked man sprang forward and al the point of a revolver demanded money. The archbishop retained his composure and tried to reason with the assailant, who refused lo listen, Threatening companions were al hand and the money was given over. Thc occurrence was promptly reported lo the police and arrests of suspects followed. "GOOD GRACIOUS" Said the hen, when she discovered a porcelain egg in the nest, "I shall be a bricklayer next." Things arc not always what they seem. This is especially applicable to champagne. G. II. Mumm & Co. have always aimed to furnish an absolutely pure champagne of the very best quality, the "Extra Dry" being of its type unexcelled, while the "Selected Brut" is pronounced by connoisseurs to be the very finest brut champagne extant. When you order champagne, don't be a hen. Don't be fooled. It is easy to get the best. Just specify "G. li. Mumm & Co.'s Champagne" and see that you gel the pink capsule and that the name "G. II. Mumm & Co." is registered in full upon the bottle of "Extra Dry." None genuine without. Pither & Leiser, Sole Agents for II. C, Victoria.

In detail the department estimates the population as follows:—Maritime Provinces, 1,- 060,678; Quebec, 2,124,834; Ontario, 2.687,861; Manitoba, 496,111; Saskatchewan, 377,590; Alberta, 321,862; British Columbia ,321,733; unorganized territories, 59,050.

CONSISTENCY There is in Victoria a man of professional rank who has attained wide notoriety as a moral reformer, temperance lecturer and contagious diseases expert. Hc may believe that charity begins at home; clearly he does not believe that missionary work should begin at home. Having several suites of rooms to let in his offices he has allowed them to be rented to a number of men who are habitual topers and who make night hideous for the more peaceable tenants to such an extent that the latter will be forced to leave the premises. The explanation is that the topers pay a higher rent for the privilege of being allowed to let off their superfluous energy, begotten of alcoholic fires. But what about the consistency of the landlord? Again one is reminded of the old proverb "Charity covers a multitude of sins" and apparently so does a high rent.

THE WEEK, SATURDAY NOVEMBER 5, 1910 ii Alvo Von Alvensleben, Ld. Real Estate Brokers Insurance In the recent fire we lost all our lists, and we would deem it a favor if our clients would again let us have full particulars of their property that is for sale OUR OFFICE IS NOW ROOM 7, HIBBEN BLOCK P. O. Drawer 618 Phone 2445 At the Street Corner By THE LOUNGER (Continued from Page 2) As electric car systems are increas- lg their mileage every clay we see jwer people who take walking exer- ise. The usefulness of cars cannot e denied, but there are some men nd many women who never go any- rhere unless they go by car. It eems to me that the average mortal ikes no exercise at all most days in ie week. On Saturday afternoons nd on Sundays he may play games, ut the steady walking day after day d and from the office has been done way with. Now this cannot be good Dr the race. Cars are all very well I wet weather or when one is in a urry, but there are thousands of ases where they are used simply and Dlely because a man is too lazy to •alk, when he would be all the heal- lier for the exercise. * * * It is satisfactory to know that Chief lavis is doing everything possible to revent another holocaust. Last week was told of a rooming-house, whicii iiall be nameless at present, where II the water had to be brought in by and; where candles were used; ■here there were no fire-escapes, and diere everything was in excellent ondition to start another big blaze. asked the Chief whether he had eard of the place and found that only ie day before he had been down to ispect the premises and had insisted n necessary improvements being lade. Prevention is better than cure nd the man who minimises risks is sally a more useful individual than ie one who fights the flames. * * * I am informed by an old-timer that hen Spencer's Departmental store •as built the Building Ispector re- ised to pass the plans because he esired to have a stronger partition rick wall between the new store and ie Victoria Book and Stationery. I am also informed that on the urgent appeal of the firm the wishes of the Building Inspector were over-ruled by the Council. In the opinion of many people, of whom my informant is one, if a substantial brick wall had been built, instead of a veneer being placed against the old wall, the Five Sisters Block and all the stores which were destroyed between it and Spencer's would have been saved. In connection with fire my attention has also been directed to a building now going up adjoining, and immediately north of the Empress Theatre. I do not lenow how far the building restrictions allow the city authorities to control the class of material used, but this is, to all intents and purposes, a lumber building and will be a veritable fire trap. I do not think that this ought to be allowed in the very heart of the business section. * * * There is another little matter in connection with rebuilding. It is one which has been touched on in this column many times', the question of the lavatory conveniences provided in various stores for public use. I cannot conceive why these are not subject to periodical inspection by the proper authority. It is a well known fact that one which was used by hundreds of persons daily in a well-known store just burnt down, reeked of tilth and was unsanitary to the last degree. I regret to say that at the moment of writing I have received a message that a dear little child of three years has been stricken with diphtheria, which is supposed to have been contracted in thc lavatory referred to. There are others in the city not much better, although perhaps none quite so bad as this. Cleansing by fire is rather a drastic] remedy. MUSIC AND THE STAGE (Continued from Page 3) (_ri 0~tOKS&*>, Severe now takes charge of his brother's house, and would, if he could, throw Donna Teodora into the street. The door is barred to Ernesto, but he forces his way in, determined to see Julian and convince him of his innocence. The poison of scandal and the. sword thrust of his enemy have done their work. Then it is that Severe now complete master of his brother's household, more than ever confirmed in his belief in the truth of his narrow suspicions and the tragedy which he has done so much to bring about, orders Teodora out of the house, and even goes to lay hands on her. Ernesto now declares himself—gossip has brought reality to what was a lie. He takes the woman to his heart, and leaves the house with her. This wonderful, vital theme, gossip, has been the making of one of the biggest plays of the age. The Kissing Girl With its dainty romance and ravish- ingly tuneful melodies, "The Kissing Girl" has lixed itself firmly in the heart of the play-goer. Seldom has a light opera provoked such universal good opinion. Handsomely staged, brilliantly costumed, and cleverly acted, the von Tilzer musical comedy caught the public fancy from the very start. "Thc Kissing Girl" has many charms, but the reason for its success is thus aptly expressed in one of Bryan's lyrics, "It's, oh, so different." At the Victoria Theatre, Tuesday, November 8th. Girl, Man and Game Billy (Single) Clifford, the comedian, is headed this way. lie is blazing a trail of laughter across the country, and he will soon be in Victoria with his new vehicle which hc is pleased to call a musical fantasy in two acts. Those who do not know what a musical fantasy is, will be enlightened when "The Girl, the Man and the Game" arrives. For the sake of enlightenment let it be stated here that a musical fantasy is a farce with much music interspersed. In this par ticular case the central figure is a rollicking young blade, who borrows a wife and child to deceive his doting old uncle with money. Naturally he gets himself into all manner of scrapes, and his antics during this time furnish many a hearty laugh. Mr. Clifford plays the role of the gay young man, and he not only affords much fun, but he also sings a dozen good songs. The show will be seen at the Victoria Theatre on Wednesday, November 9. De Wolf Hopper The very latest thing in musical plays is "A Matinee Idol," in which that most delightful of all comedians, De Wolf Hopper, will be seen at the Victoria Theatre on Thursday, November 10, for one night, supported by Miss Louise Dresser and the same organization in every detail that supported him during the six months' run of this piece at Daly's and the Lyric Theatre in New York. "A Matinee Idol" is not like other plays; it stands alone in its class. It was the first of its kind to be produced in Xew York, and its success was so great, and came in such a bound, that it is certain to be a fore-runner for many others of a similar nature. It is a screamingly funny comedy with a musical setting and not the old style musical comedy. Its plot is clean cut, coherent and reasonable, while the musical numbers arc so closely interwoven with the piece itself that they form part of its structure and are in no sense of the word interpolations. THE CANADIAN MAGAZINE It is a noteworthy fact that Gold- win Smith took a peculiar pride in contributing quite frequently to the pages of The Canadian Magazine, and it is gratifying to see that since his death the editor of this excellent national publication has been able to secure from Mr. Arnold Haultain, the literary executor of "The Sage of The Grange" a number of further contributions. The first appears in the November issue under the title "My Early Connection With London Journalism," and, according to the announcement for December there will bc another article, entitled "Memories of My Home." The Canadian Magazine has a wide and well deserved reputation for the excellence o fits poetry; and it is worthy of note that Canadian singers are taking a front place among the writers of current poetry. Note the appeal to universal sympathy and the beauty of expression in the following verses by a well-known Canadian writer, Mrs. Isabel Ecclestone Mackay, which appeared in the November number of The Canadian Magazine. Give Me a Day Give me a day, my beloved, that I may set A jewel in my heart—I'll brave regret, If, on the morrow, you shall say "forget. One golden day when dawn shall blush to noon And noon incline to dark, and, over- soon, My joy lie buried 'neath a rounded moon. Only a day—it's worth you scarce could tell From other days; but in my life 'twill dwell An oasis with palm trees and a well! —Isabel Ecclestone Mackay, in The Canadian Magazine for November. Tough Lawyer—You have a very liard case. Burglar—So did the vault, but I cracked lt all right, all right. Once Wa« Enough They met by chance, They'd never met before; They met but once, And she was smitten sore. They never met again— Don't care to, I allow; They met but once— The auto and the cow. Sky pilots out of a job should write to tlie airship companies. 12 THE WEEK, SATURDAY NOVEMBER 5, 1910 Burleith Mansions Limited Capital $100,000.00 Issue of 10,000 Shares of $10 each: $2 on application, $2 on allotment, balance on call at intervals of not less than 60 days.
