To the student of current history it Iwould appear tliat Russia does not want Leace with honour to much as peace |/ithout paying for it. The Victoria Times is very unkind to ;e leading lights of its party. Here it suggesting thut Mr. Mclnnes, new Commissioner for the Yukon, could put In his holidays representing the constituency of Alberni in the local House lust imagine the unfortunate man, after fevotiug the greater part of-tlie year to frying to keep the Yukon officials out of fhe penitentiary which yawns for them, having to spend bis holidays listening to Ilohn Oliver saying, "Mr. Speaker, Hi liubmit that the H-ouourable tbe Pree- Ineer should hexplain 'is battitude to this lOuse!" Cruel, most cruel. Can it be Ihat tliere is truth in the rumours of liivil war in the Liberal camp, und tliat Ike Times has a secret grudge against Ivir. Mclnnes? The Week is authorized to state tbat [there is absolutely no foundation for the ■rumour tbat Mr. Joseph Martin is negotiating with King Oscar of Sweden for Ithe vacant position on the Norwegian throne. Joseph has been in the king liusiness before, and knows that it Is ljut Dead Sea fruit. He was king of Ine Scandinavians in Manitoba in the Idack and bitter pnst, when No. 1 Hard Ivould only fetch thirty-five cents a llus'iel, aud before his dethronement— 1ft, well, let us draw a veil. Suffice it to say tbat both monarch and subjects lere heartily sick of ench other. "Civis," writing a few days ago to tlio lfancouver World, raises a bitter howl localise tbe C. P. It. has, to his enlightened mind, gone back on the Terminal pity. He says, "In their folder entitled (Homeward Bound,' which the C. P. It. luts in the hands of all their trnns-Pn- (ific passengers en route to this Coast, /aucouver is given the icy stare with vengeance. The travellers are strongly urged to break their journey at Victoria and stay several days, but for the jaughty and disobedient Vancouver [here is not a word. Stanley Park, English Bny, Capilano, salmon fishing uud running, Howe Sound nnd North Ann: ■None of these are considered good Enough to put into the folder. What nre fjiir citizens nnd tbe Tourist Association going to do about it?" Poor "Civis!" Poor Vancouver! It's Loo bad about you. But, supposing tlie lontention of "Civis" to be correct, and ■tliat the C. T. B. really has gone back Ion Vancouver, would tbat be any great ■matter for wonder? Let us look back lover Vancouver's record. For nearly n ■score of years past whenever some |wretcbed demagogue, some degraded excrescence on the body politic, some vote- Isceking loafer, too lazy for honest work, Relying on a glib tongue to inflame the passions of the fnt-witted electorate, de- Isired to climb out of tho gutter whicli ■was bis birthplace—why, all he had to do was to -get out in the middle of the |;treet and throw a brick nt tbe C. P. R. Then nil Vancouver would hasten to ap- Blaud him ns a whole-souled patriot, ■tending up for the rights of tho people Jigninst "the tyranny of n bloated cor- liorntion." How grandly the phrase lolls off the tongue, doesn't it? Even in times of comparative peace, the C. P. B. was constantly being attacked. To find a man iu the Terminal City who would say a good word for tue luckless corporation was rare indeed. Yet, when anything was to be gained by it, wiiether a subscription, or a free pass, or a donation, how this mob of "free," "independent" citizens would crawl to the company they were wont to abuse! For serviie sycophancy alternating with currish, snarling, whining and attempted bullying, we know of nothing more sickening, nothing more typical of the baser sort of mob, iu the history of Western Cniuulian towns, than the attitude of Vancouver towards the C. P. B. We hold no brief for this or any other railway—we are not in the habit of holding briefs for our servants—but we sny most emphatically that, if the C. P. R. did give Vancouver the go-by, no one, least of all the Vancouyerites themselves, would have any reason to wonder nt it. city limits. If they were, it would not be necessary for The Week to tell them that this latest move on the part of the C. P. B. is not abandonment, but expansion. It does not mean that the C. V. It. bus no more use for Vancouver, but it does mean that the C. P. K. requires more than Vancouver. But for their dense ignorance—typical of so many Coast communities—of the province in which tlioy live, it would not be necessary to make this explanation to Vancouver; but a study of the map, and of certain commercial conditions and developments now forging rapidly to the front, will make it plain to all but those so ignorant and narrow that they must forever remain hewers of wood and drawers of water to their more intelligent fellow-citizens in the good days that are coming to Britisli Columbia. There is room on this coast for a greater Vaii- couver—aye, and for half a score more big towns as well. So cheer up, Terminal City, and dry your eyes. Nobody is going to leave you alone in the dark and cold, so you nedn't be afraid. One is not much given, at the age of nineteen, to reflection* or to careful deduction of instructive lessons froni current events. But, perhaps, when the Sovereignty of a kingdom has fallen upon The Beginning; of the End. Little Rift-in Liberal Lute Widens to a Chasm—Forecast of Inevitable Disruption—Manson's Election Assured. A EOBECAST. Whatever dissensions may have existed in the local Liberal ranks prior to the convention, at which Mr. Geo. Eiley received t'he nomination, the dissidents were certainly welded into harmony before the day of election, as witness, Geo. Riley, M. P. But though Old and Young Liberal Associations vied with each other in their efforts to carry the party t'o success on election day, they certainly reserved to themselves the right to criticize the actions of their memher- elect, when they considered that such actions were uot entirely in the interests of this constituency, or at least, conducive to the welfare of the Liberal party. It may be admitted' tbat this -right' to criticize has been freely exercised, but even this, in the eyes of the /?oS POLITICAL JIU-JITSU. (With apologies to London Punch).

But "Civis" amd the citizens of Vancouver generally may set their minds at rest. The Terminal City is a great city, and she is going to be very much greater in tbe course of the next few yenrs. With her railways, her harbour, and the big country bnck of ber, it cannot be otherwise; nnd no one will be better pleased to see it than the thinking people of Victoria, who know thc folly of this senseless interurbnn jealousy.

If that be so, it would bo worth while knowing what King Alfonso of Spain thinks when be contrasts bis experiences in France and England. In France, happy Republican France, "rule of the people," "liberty, equality and fraternity," and all that sort of thing, don't you know, the "sovereign people" throw bombs at him, wound his body-guard, and enper after his royal person with butcher knives. In England, under an "effete monarchy," "a bloated aristocracy," and all the rest of the street- orator's clap-trap, his visit passes off en- joyably, without a hitch, no one assaults him or Mb royal host, and he finally departs from the headquarters of "monarchical tyranny" unscathed aud still all in one piece. Strange what a difference there is between a kingdom nnd n republic! It is calculated to make more people than kings thoughtful, [Continued on page 2.] joint excutives, is no excuse for the supercilious indignation with which their criticisms have been received by the gentleman they elected. As a consequence, t'he banner of open revolt against the locally nominal heads of the party at Ottawa has been raised, and the results will be more far-reaching than might be expected from what on the surface looks like "a tempest in a t'ea-pot." The joint executives of the Old and Young Liberal Associations include some of the ablest political organizers aud .shrewdest practical politicians in the West, and these gentlemen, to a man, are determined to create a new order of things. We foresee the result, and there can bo but one—the abolition of party lines iu provincial politics, the absolute severance of the local government from affiliation and subservience to the Ot- tnwti machine, be it Liberal or Conservative; and the first indication of this will bo i'he election of Mr. Manson In Alberni, not because lie is a Conservative, but because he is not a Liberal. PLAIN WORDS FROM TORONTO If plain-speaking be his doligiu- which it probably isn't, for what politician ever loved it? Sir Wilfrid Laurier must enjoy the series of opcu letcrs with which "Don" in the Toronto Saturday Night has heen favoring him. The final one of the series—each of which is addressed, with ironic minuteness of detail, to the "Right Hon. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, G.O.M.G., P.C., President of the King's Privy Council in Canada" appears in Saturday Night of the 3rd inst. The bitter earnestness of the concluding paragraph, it's merciless summing-up of tho results of tbe course adopted by Sir Wilfrid, and its gloomy nnd emphatic prophesy of what must be the outcome of these "sunny ways," combine to make it well worth reproduction, even as it is well worth the perusal of every man in Canada: "Iu conclusion, permit me to remind you, sir, thnt the happy possibilties of which I have spoken in other letters appear to me burled in the grave marked by jour perfidy to public rights. Tlie glorious vista of a Uuit'ed Canada—a Canada united not by ballot force or bullets—has faded from the eyes of tens of thousands of the best citizens of this Dominion, who now find at the limit of their vision a rude stone cross marking your unwept political grave instead of the monument we had hoped to erect to the glorious memory of the man who united the two races and established the one Liberty. Before the vice-regal signature on this Autonomy Bill shall huve become dry tho bishc.s will be seeking for your successor, kuowing well that your usefulness, not only to tlie country, but the church, is past. New political combinations among your own people are alreudy being thought of and your future is uot beiug taken into consideration. You hnvo wrecked Liberalism. In ^Canada to-day there is uo organized Liberal party, no vestige remaining of the principles for which they once fought, and you, sir, at the dictation of i'he Hierarchy, must stand in history ns the assassin of this once noble party, this glorious purpose. That one so attractive in face and fancy, so brave in figure nnd carriage; oue so chivitlric iu manner aud moving of speech; that one with such nn immense parliamentary majority behind him, should make such un incredible, unpatriotic and fateful mistake ns you have made, nud meet with such n fate us you must meet, cannot but be an unending sorrow and shame lo the people of Canada, as it is to "Yours regretfully, "Don." THE CARE OF TREES. Tho cartoon appearing in The Week on the 3rd instant, nnd the accompanying comment with reference to the wL.de- sale and unnecessary destruction of the trees to which Victoria owes so much of her attractiveness, hnve, we are glad to note, had due effect in stirring up public interest to an extent which will, it may be trusted, result in the checking of much wanton tree-felling throughout the city before it is too late. The matter has been actively taken up by I be Victoria Property Owners' Association, whose secretary, Mr. Thos. C. Sorby, has sent the following communication, with its accompanying extracts from the Ontario Municipal Act, to the city council: Victoria Property Owners' Association. Till June, 11)0.3.

The Passing Show Continued from page 1. A fence, fourteen feet in height, is being erected round the grounds on which the C. P. R. hotel is to be built. This is another example of the callous indifference of a bloated corporation to the rights of the people. What is our Rubberneck Brigade to do—that vast aggregation of Victorians who toil not, neither do they spin, and yet have plenty to eat and wear, aud lots of time to stand around and criticise their fellow citizens who are foolish enough to work for a living? It makes one's blood boil to Ihink of these retimed, intelligent, scholarly men being deprived of their daily recreation. The Care of Trees. Continued from page 1. The opening of the Lake Beautiful- Coquitlam tunnel last Saturday was, perhaps, a far more important event ln the results which are likely to follow than most of those present at the ceremony had any idea of. It marks, we believe, the commencement of a new order of things, which will eventually go far towards revolutionizing industrial conditions in British Columbia. This Province, especially in the Coast districts, has enormous facilities for water power, needing only experience, machinery and the right men to harness tbem for the use of man. Mr. Buntzen and the Vancouver Power Company have made the first step in this direction on the Provincial seaboard, and made it worthily. Their example will be quickly followed. The Novoe Vremya, St. Petersburg semi-official journal, is out with a remarkable editorial deprecating the optimism, among diplomats at the present moment with regard to peace, which it declares to be impossible unless Japan recognizes Russia's Asiatic claims, and the fact that she (Russia) must spread eastward in order, says the Novoe Vremya, "to reach her natural boundary —warm water." Now, wouldn't that surprise you? Warm water! What on earth does Russia want with more warm water? Has she not, for the past eighteen months, been in the hottest kind of warm water? The Colonist is either very impolite, or it has no sense of humour. This is the way it describes the qualifications for the popular suffrage possessed by Mr. J. F. Bledsoe, endorsed by Alberni Liberals as their standard-bearer in the coming bye-election; "He (Mr. Bledsoe) is a native of Kentucky, and has had a varied and adventurous career," remarks our worthy morning contemporary, "being successively a cowboy, a lecturer, a celebrated detective, a chemist, a student of the past civilizations of ancient Mexico, a journalist, poet, litterateur and student" How very accomplished! What an excellent running mate he would make in the local House for John Oliver, J. A. Macdonald, Stuart Henderson and the rest. Did we hear anybody whisper, "Jack-of-all-trades, and master of none?" But perhaps that is why he is going into politics. Anyhow, the witty Colonist has failed to credit him with one trifling, but very necessary, qualification—has this Kentucky paragon ever become a British subject? He was born in Old Kentucky Where the meadow-grass is bine, Where they guzzle Bourbon whisky, And shoot each other, too. He was bred in Old Kentucky, And the Grits are mighty lucky To elect a man like Bledsoe—if they do! NOT TO BE BEATEN. "The station nt Snvnnnnh," snys a traveller through the south, "is surrounded in nil directions with a lot of snloons nnd cheap restaurants. In great illuminated letters over one of these snloons was the sign; 'Open all night.' Next to it wns a restaurant bearing with equal prominence the legend, 'We never close.' Third in order was a Chinese laundry, in a little tumble-down hovel, and upon the front of this building was the sign in great, scrawling letters, 'Me wakee, too,' "—Modem Women, Boston, Mass, When you see a pretty girl putting on a postage stamp, then don't you wish you were King Edward? "ltesolved, that this association urge upon the couucll the great necessity for maintaining as fur as possible all the uaturu. beauties ot this city, not only for the enjoyment of its citizens, but as a means of attraction to visitors uud tourists, by whose presence money Is circulated iu our uiidsi nun in general welfare of the couiuiumty ueuented." With this object In view, the board would respectfully suggest the appoiutmeut (uu- clei' suo-sectious lib aud lltla of section 10, Municipal Clauses Act) of three specially nuuiincd honorary commissioners lone lo ou suggested by Ihu Horticultural Society uud ouu by the Natural History Society), wuu should hold office continuously as iu the case of ihu hospital board, library coiumis- s.ouurs, etc., und whose duties suould be to conserve the natural beauties of the city aud park, uud without whose suucuou no trees ou tbe public property or adjacent uereio should be destroyed or damaged, or auy of the natural beauties and attractions defaced or disfigured. I'he board feel that such ruthless destruction of trees as has taken place lu the past, uud is continually occurring along our residential streets, Is a serious menace to the natural beauty of the city, and that the practice should be checked aud placed under competent control. The board feel that were the park placed under the direction of commissioners, as suggested, a plan of steady improvement could be adopted and followed up from year to year. Under the present system, no continuous plan of improvement can be followed, us the governing body of ihe park Is altered each year. Vancouver park has beeu managed lu this way, uud there is no reason why our park should uot be improved and conserved under competent authority iu a continuous way, eveu though the amount to be expended yearly were small. By reference to the Municipal Act ot Ontario (section 674, copy of which is enclosed), it will be seen that the beautifying of public places, squares and streets in cities is encouraged by allowance or compensation, (.ud that those attractions that do exist are judiciously protected; and the board of tbis association would therefore suggest that such commissioners as they propose should be clothed with similar powers to these provided In the Ontario Municipal Act referred to.

The Good Book tells us to "Seek peace and ensue it," and no doubt peace is an excellent thing, if it can be secured on fair terms. But while, for humanity's sake, it is very excellent to see some prospect ahead of the conclusion of hostilities in the Far East, it is to be hoped that the Japanese will remember that the Russian has always been more deadly in the field of so-called diplomacy than in that of war. In public or private life, the oath that will bind a Russian has not yet been invented, and in the chancelleries of Europe the diplomats of Holy Russia have nn evil eminence as disciples of Ananias. As one well-known writer feelingly puts it, "They can say the thing that is not with un almost religious fervour." Perhaps Kipling's poem, with the title of which we head these remarks, hits off the Russian characteristics better than columns of prose. Its explicit | warning, "Make ye no truce with Adam- Had, the bear that walks like a man," would seem particularly adapted for tlie perusal of Japan at the present juncture. The final words of caution fit the case so exactly that we are tempted to quote I hem here:— 'But .... this is the time to fear, When he stands up like a tired man, tottering near and near; When he stands up ns pleading, in wnv ering, man-brute guise, When he veils the hate and cunning of the little, swinish eyes. When he shows as seeking quarter, with paws like hands in prayer, Tn'at is the time of peril—the time of the Truce of the Bear." IS YOUR HOUSE WIRED?

Telephone B 1173, Inside View, Granby Compressor <UNIONeWlLABEL> The Boundless Boundary (PART II.) Among the "High Grade Mines"—A Sketch of the City of Greenwood and the Towns of Midway and Eliolt. (liy Percy F. Godenrath, Travelling Correspondent of The Week.) Tenacity! Enterprise) Bound up in these words is the history of the founding and subsequent up-growth of the city of Greenwood—the financial, commercial und mining centre of the "Boundless Boundary." Ten years ago tins coining full the site thai now marks Greenwood was thickly covered by n forest growth of tamarack, bull-pine nnd poplar with dark uinrslies caused by the overflow of Boundary creek as it made its tortuous way through the heart of the mountain enclosed vidley southward to the Kettle rjver. lt was here hi lSl)."i thut Destiny ied Hobert Wood, u pioneer uierchnul of the Oknnngnn. to found n city. lie purchased several hundred ncres nnd laid out n townsite two miles in length by Unit a mile. wide. A log store wus erected nnd the timbered ncres christened "Greenwood." The yenr following George Arthur Rendell nnd Ralph Smailes, who eon- ducted a trading post at Boundary Falls, amalgamated their business with Mr. Wood; nnd, with the uplifting of the bond on the Mother Lode mine in Dead- wood en nip. by New York capitalists—n momentous eveut for the new camp—n real impetus wns given tlio outside world, already stirred by the boom nt Rossland, to participate in the possibilities of the eniliyro city and the truly re- inni-knble mineralized country thai backed it. That snme yenr C Scott Galloway nlso became Interested in the town- site. From that time on the town grew npnee; roads to the numerous nearby enmps were built mainly by Inenl enterprise, nnd the trade thereof swelled the business of the merchants. In August. 1807, tho place had assumed such pro portions thnt it wns Incorporated, and its people took over the responsibilities of self-government. Gradually the forest wns cleared off; Boundary Creek straightened out and confined at a cost of $25,000; streets graded and miles of walks laid and systems of waterworks, telephone and electric light installed, lt became modernized. Then followed the completion of the Columbia & Western branch of the O. 1'. 11., nnd with the advent of the "steam horse" Duncan Boss, now M. P., changed the Boundary Creek Times from a weekly to a daily paper. Well does the writer remember those next six months, as he held down u strenuous job, combining the functions of telegraph and cily editor, reporter and proof-reader. If Greenwood ever experienced the sensation of a "boom" it was during LS99-1900. Certainly good times reached a high-water level. People Hocked in; real estate and mineral claims changed hands daily; a smelter was Hearing completion and scores of business blocks and hotels were going up. Then followed the inevitable depression caused through over-doing iniugs. Many predicted that the bottom uad dropped out altogether, and, so reasoning, departed tor new fields of effort to again flirt with Dame Fortune. The rest, who perchance had sunk tlffcir little all, either could uot, or, realizing ihat time only was needed to bring order out of the temporary chaos, stuck, aud some—won out. ±he past two years have wrought a wonderful change iu the fortunes of several of the tenacious ones. The opening up by local money of the "high grade" prospects (overlooked lor years iu the scramble to obtain big "low grade" ore bodies) has resulted in much needed outside capital again coining to the front, and owners have been eutibled to sell lor cusn or bond at good ligures. Today Greenwood is not the city of the -years of plenty," with streets alive with huppy-goducky prospectors, speculators and the usual crowd thut follows iu the ivake ot every mining excitement, and gives it a truly barletjuiu coloring, instead, it strikes the casual visitor as iu- icrnaliy dull, relieved perhaps by the eoli- tiiiunl Snl'iek or tool-toot ol a passing ore train and the rumble of powder blasts that come up from the earth and echo aud re-echo through the valley. Look deeper; and one Icarus another story. \\ ild speculation has ceased—so too has the merry tinkle of the roulette wheel; more sober business methods are in vogue. All down the line—banker, merchant, miner, clerk, physician uud even padre arc investing their dollars in "high grade" prospects and mines. The civic finances are in an excellent condition, and substantial reductious have been made on the bunded indebtedness. Immediately surrounding the city, go where you will, every point of the compass has its scene of mining activity within nn hour's wnlk of the post ollice. Again, on n larger scale, if a circle were described with Greenwood for its centre nnd a radius of about eight miles, the rii-ciiiiil'ereiice would pass tiirough or include nl least a dozen separate mining camps, Within the first mile nre working a score of properties, and it is this new, ever expanding pay roll of the "high grade" mines that local "capitalists" have made Unit is vitalizing, nud bodes so much for the future prosperity of the low ii. To this must be added the sub- slautial pay rolls at Ihe smelters of the British Columbia Copper Company nnd the Montreal & Boston Cons. JI. & S. Company, directly tributary, together with the big mines of Deadwood camp. Of its business men, let nie tell what a well-known drummer of u Victoria nouse said to nie in sizing up the present commercial situation: "Wholesalers have long recognized the superior class of business men thnt the city possesses, fnr above the average of new camps. For this reason Greenwood has had practically no failures in its commercial life. In other interior mining camps the number that have gone under—well let's forget it. Business here is good." Yes, it is not flattery to add that Greenwood's business men are wideawake and enterprising, nnd it is to this fact that the city owes much of its progress and stability. At a glance the many business blocks, hotels, churches, civic nnd provincial buildings nnd numerous private residences—the ensemble of the town as it were, would hardly he credited by a stranger, to the growth of less than a decade of years. Few places there are in the province, with double the age, equal to the "Commercial Metropolis of the Boundary." In my previous introductory article on the Boundary an outline was given of the big low grade copper-gold mines, with their miles of under ground workings and their already immense output, which promises this yenr to aggregate in the nre found in the hornblende granites and altered sedimentary rocks. Starting at the northern boundary the claims lie on each side of Boundary Creek, and extend a mile beyond the city. Whnt is locally culled the Alphabetical group, at one time consisting of 12 claims owned by ihe Boundary Creek M. <fc M. Company, now defunct, has been split up, An American syndicate hns bonded some of the chums, including the Spokane, und started prospecting. On the Gold Bug, formerly one of the group, a 300-foot crosscut tunnel is being driven by contract, which is now iu over 200 feet. In early days several carloads of rich silver and gold quartz ore were shipped to the smelter, nud the present owners nre justified in tlle belief thnt with the striking of the vein nt depth the mine will yield us prolifically as ever. The Boundury-Elkhorn Mining Compnny, Ltd., recently incorporated and controlled by Philip McDonald and Jas. Sutherland, the original owners of tlie Elkhoru group, is expected to resume development at once. Nearly 500 feet of work—shaft, tunnel nnd drift—has been done on the property in the last two years, and ore to the value of $75,000 hns been taken therefrom. The principal development is a 142-foot incline shaft, following the vein. It is said that the richest silver ore ever discovered iu British Columbia came from this mine. The ore consists of massive native silver, ruby silver, antimoninl silver, galena, grey copper, and iron aud copper pyrites in a quartz gaugue. Return of shipments gave $102.58, $110.02 and $123.48 respectively per ton. The vein is from 0 to 12 inches in width. The Providence is owned by a compauy composed of Chicago nud local people. A week ago 35 men were put to work drifting north and south on the lead at the 400-foot level, and drifting nnd stop- iug iu the south tunnel ou the 300-foot level. The mine is well developed, und hns at different periods returned handsome dividends to the shareholders, lt is intended by the management to instill an air compressor of 7 to 10 drills capacity immediately. The shaft is to be continued to the 500-foot level. Shipments, too, will De resumed. Swinging eastward, adjoining the Providence, is the Fremont, owned by the Greenwood-Fremont Mines, Ltd., and financed hy Grand Forks and local people. There are three veins opened, carrying galena, assnying $78 in gold and silver. Two prospect shafts nre down LOOK tor THE NAME J}bhey tNCRAVED ON EVERY PIECE' TRANSLUCENT LOVELINESS.,.

C. neighborhood of 1,000.000 tons. Let me tnke the render with me on a hurried tramp around the city to lenrn something of the "high grade" mines and prospects thnt are just now Attracting special attention at the hands of investors. The claims nre principally located in Providence and Skylark camp to the north, nnd Hanking the eastern limits of the lownsitc. The veins are invnriably small, but contain very rich ore. They 00 nud 40 feet respectively, nnd n crosscut tunnel is being driven to strike the ore nt depth. Further prospecting nt the lower end of the clnim it is hoped will disclose the continuation of the Providence ledge. Adjoining the Fremont is the Strath- more, owned by the Greenwood-Strnth- more Mines, Ltd. A crosscut tunnel, now in over 340 feet, is being driven to tap the vein at a depth of 500 feet. Pre- daily.

Stope in So foot level Sky-lark Mine. Associated in the proposed company to be formed nre Col. L. T. Dickason, a millionaire owner of coal and stone quarries in Indiana and Illinois; Ferdiu- und W. Peck, former director general of the American exhibit at the Pnris exposition; Samuel K. Morton, jr., vice-president of the Manufacturers' Bank of Chicago; Edward Ford Johnsou, insurance broker, and Richard Armstrong, formerly of Grand Forks, aud now residing in the "Wiudy City." Tbe new owners have a crew of 14 men developing three veiu. The general average value of the ure is $120, though samples from the No. 1 vein gave returns of $078 per ton. Small shipments of selected ore gave values of $200. Ore from all the veins is of shipping churacter. The company will later ou install a compressor plant and develop the mine on a large scale. The Skylark is au instance of what can be accomplished here with a little capital aud intelligent effort. For years it was the banner claim of Skylark camp, lt wus located July, 1893, and bonded to the Spokuue oi Great Northern Company, who went to work shortly afterwards, aud during the winter of 1803-4 shipped auout 100 tons to the smelters across tlie line. The ore returns gave 150 to 300 ounces in silver aud $15 to $20 in gold. For u time it laid idle. Again, in 1897 auother rich shipment was sent to u Montana smelter. Then development wus suspeuded. Last fall a syndicate of Phoenix people secured a boud for $30,000. The owners would probably have sold for a far less amount on a cash hasis, and perhaps at the time, firmly believing that the mine was gutted of its rich ore, softly laughed up their sleeves. Work started October 1st. The new owners subscribed less than $2,000 to commence operations. In one month alone over $7,000 was received for ore returns from the smelter. The terms of the bond, $1,000 per month, have been carried out, and the mine lias feet, with drifts at the 30 nu.,1 100-foot levels. The property has shipped 26 tons. First class ore averages $113, and the second $28 per ton. Active development is beiug prosecuted. Local and North Dakota capital is interested in the bouil on the E. P. U., under the management of Duucau Mcintosh. Quite a force is at present employed. A shaft is down over 150 feet, and nearly 1,000 feet of drifting lias been done ou the lend, which averages a good eight inches. Adjoining the E. P. U., on the enst, is the Bay, owned by Fuller & Hall. Eight men are at work sinking a 100-foot shaft and drifting on the veiu. It is said of this property that it lias the reputation of shipping the best average two ears of ore, of all grades, taken from wall lo wall, and running $119.55 per ton. The veiu measures Irom 8 to 32 inches of quart!!. The ore house is now full, and the owners are seeking assistance from the government to provide better truns- pontation facilities to get their ore to market. Phoenix people have a boud on the Mavis, owned by E. T. Wickmire. Sinking and driftiug is in progress, aud from 7 to 10 tons of ore is ready for siiipmeut. The Tip Top is under boud to the Skylark Development company. The Twiu Trilby aud the Gold Finch have small crews, and are each under bond to local syndicates. Six men are developing the Barbara, adjoining the Gold Finch. A Chicago syndicate, represented by Alex. Miller, owns the claim. A shaft is down ou the vein 190 feet, with nearly 200 feet of crosscuts and drifts. Open cuts and trenching prove the continuity of the vein for several hundred feet, with values from $50 to $00, although occasionally bunches of ore are run into carrying the values up to $150 per ton, chiefly in gold. There are 10 to 15 tons of ore ou the dump, and shipments will of $98 per ton. Nine men are employed. The Capital Prize, also south of the town, is owned by Sydney M. Johnson. West of the city are the Bonnie Bell. Highland Queen, Mountain Queen .and Mountain View. Tho Highland Queen is under bond to the Foulds Brothers and Mr. Penny, who nre driving a prospect tunnel to tap. the ore nt a depth of io feet. Any day the vein may be en- •onutered. Charles Erliqli, W. T. Smith ind J. C. Haas have just bonded the Mountain Queen. Two and a half miles south of the city is Smith's camp. The Greenwood-Republic Gold Mines, Ltd.. owns the Republic, Lnst Chance, Nonsuch nnd Hidden Treasure, on which extensive work has been carried on for the past several years. The Nonsuch was the first quartz location in this section nf the Boundary, and wns located by W. T. Smith in 1880. Mr. Smith is the manager of the compnny. The ore here is a sulphide, carrying values in gold, copper and silver, running from $11 to $21 in carload shipments. The principal work is heing prosecuted on the Nonsuch, where'the tunnel is in over 400 feet on the vein. The tunnel is to be continued until the Last Chance shaft (now down 100 feet) is.reached,'about 1,000 feet in all. At the point of connection, where an upraise will be made to meet the shaft, it is figured that 400 feet of stopiug ground will be had. The completion of the long tunnel and connection will allow much cheaper means of mining. E. J. Roberts and E. L. Tait, of Spokane, and W. T. Smith are the principal shareholders. A short distance from the Republic group is the Golconda group, owued by Eastern Townships people, headed by Hon. George E. Foster and Rufus Pope. The ore is an arsenical iron, carrying principally gold values, from $14 to $42 per ton. A 000-foot tunnel is being driven lo strike the veiu at a depth of 375 feet, and as three feet per day is being made, Mr. Haas, the manager, is confident that the ore will be reached before the end of the present month. The tuuuel is in over 500 feet. The Town of Midway. Nine miles beyond Greenwood aud the terminus of the Columbia & Western railway is reached. Here one enters again the broad valley of tbe Kettle river as it sweeps iu from the west to lake a bend through Ferry county, state of Washington, to re-enter tlie provinee below Grand Forks. One gathers from | tlie records tbat Midway is entitled to the distinction of being the oldest town in the Boundary. The acreage ou which the town was laid out was acquired by Capt. R. C. Adams, of Montreal, in 1893. He first called the place Eholts, but inter changed the naiiie \o Midway. The Midway Townsite Company acquired 040 ucres. of which 320 was laid out in half, one, two, five and teu acre plots, nud the rest, nbout a mile north from the international boundary line, and lying in the heart of the level land was laid off into SALVIAS DOUBLE PETUNIAS 50 cents per Dozen STOCKS AND ASTERS, Etc. 3 Dozen for 50 cents.

Then, too, there is good reason to believe that the C. P. R. will continue westward. The town is nlso the proposed terminus of the Midway & Vernon railway, and a deal is now on the tapis for New York capital to construct this road, which will open up the West Fork country. As a smelter centre, Midway has much to commend it. for here ample water is to be had as well as all the room needed for sing dumps.

At the Last Chance, under charge of Superintendent McVicnrs, n considerable amount of development has been done. The ore is similar to Skylark.

The Helen, too, is owned by Chicago and local men, represented by Alex. Miner. The vein has an average width of 12 inches, and is very massive nud heavy. The shaft is down 100 feet, nnd there is over 200 feet of drifting nnd crosscuts at various levels. Three lends exist, which have been opened by cuts mi the surface. In the early history of the mine some exceptionally high values were obtained from ore shipments. Recent sine 11 test shipments gave returns lots and blocks. The company expended $14,000 in constructing an irrigation ditch, bringing the water from Boundary creek, and as the soil is adapted to the raising of garden truck and fruit trees, quite a few of the acre tracts were qiqckly disposed of. For the present the trade of the town is principally derived from the agricultural community surrounding it. Though mineral lias been discovered in the nearby hills, it was never exploited sufficiently to prove its merits, known that should the Great Northern enter the town, at least one big smelter is assured. The prospects of further railroad construction this yenr are bright, and the citizens of Boundary's pioneer town have every reason to look forward to the future. It is nn ideal spot for a residence, the soil is fertile nnd the climate equable, The Kettle river furnishes abundant opportunities for the angler, and the broad fields that lie up the valley and the brush covered side hills, are fairly stocked with feathered game.

There was a meeting at the local chapel, called by fhe minister, to discuss 't the question of the repair of the building, which had heen allowed to get into J a bad state. Great hopes were enter- taind of the generosity of Brother Wfcg- topp, a local pork butcher, but some disappointment was felt, when he only promised two pounds. During the prayer which followed the proceedings, a piece of plaster became detached from | t'he ceiling and fell on to Brother Wag- topp's head, with a soft thud. More 1 frightened than hurt, that worthy jump- j ed up and exclaimed, "Jeursalem! I'll 1 give five pounds."

That their efforts have already been crowned with a fair measure of success, the very creditable performance of the Victoriu boys at Vancouver is ample evidence. Tbe Vancouver sporting reporters — little given to praising another town when praise is not due—acknowledged in their own papers that the Victoria boys made the home team sit up. Looked at merely from a business point of view, an invincible lacrosse team is one of the finest possible advertisements for a town, as its performances are chronicled everywhere, and intense interest naturally transfers itself from the team to the team's home city.

OO WHERE TIIE CROWD OOKS THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1905. Lace and Lingerie Headgear. Hats, Holidays and Housework—Tables and Trimmings—Salad Dressing and Room Dressing. by "b'aSette." Dear Madge:—I promised you a longer letter this week so I must endeavor t'o find a topic that you like; knowing as I do what a butterfly of fashion you are I am going to begin by describing the much worn, lingerie hat, which has turned the millinery world t'opsy turvy this season. Instead of tlie ubiquitous flopping hat of a year ago, all of drooping ruffles and lace and embroidery, are hats for the most part quite definitely made up on wire frames stretched out' until there would be almost a stiff straight effect were it not for the narrow frills of lace which face the brim or edge of it, or the soft pleatings which trim it. From the stiff sailor shapes, made of embroidered linen, line and sheer as a handkerchief, with the bow at tho side made of more of the embroidered linen, up to the hat nearest last season's style, but' smaller made of sheer Swiss embroidery and a huge bow of soft ribbon, there is a world of difference between the styles of the two years. Tho stretching out instead of shirring up ou wire frames is the most marked change; and next to if tlie difference in size, everything in the hat line bingmuch smaller this year. Here and there you se a huge affair, but it is incongruous- out of date. Embroidery is used more than lace for the actual making; but lace is used a great deal, too, for a little soft breaking of hard lines. There is more latitude as to trimming, too. Feathers, which were tabooed for the airy creations of last year have proved the very thing the new hats need. And, in feathers, t'he exquisite idea thnt Paris advanced a couple of months ago has been realizd—two colors in a single plume; not shaded, but pale enough in shade to make the most delicate of contrasts. On white hats, of course, white feathers are preferred. But' the newest of all lingerie hats is that of the pale shade of blue or pink, usually of both—tlie foundation of one color embroidered in motifs or in an all over design in the contrasting color, with perhaps a bow of ribbon to emphasize the color scheme; or one of those new plumes—pale blue with fhe edges of the palest tint of pink all the way round. Besides feathers, the use of flowers upon lingerie hats, is new and wreath- like trimmings of tiny June roses and forget-me-nots nestle against a snowy background, or a bunch of little daisies is perched up under a pale blue brim. Tlie colored hats—if so delicate a tint can be called color—are exceptions. Most lingerie hats are white; but they are might'}- pretty exceptions, and make the sweetest setting for a white dress, they follow lingerie styles even more than actual lingerie styles. Stretching the embroidery on the light frames shows it' off much more sharply, so that prettier and prettier cmbrodier- ies are in demand all the time—sheer stuffs being embroidered in eyelet designs being most popular of all. Linen—a heavier weight than handkerchief linen—with bold open designs make up a stunning hut, with rows and rows of tiny frills for a brim facing instead of stiff linens. Some of the hats which properly belong to the lingerie clnss aren't lingerie at all, except in treatment. Horsehair —the lightest silkiest kind and leghorns (by the wny leghorns are very good) are trimmed with narrow lace frills a.iu with the embroidery inserts and finished with a bit of color in the shape of roses, or a plume. But even toques—severe and all as they are-^have an adorable lingerie representative, which bows to file required tilt of the season. The top is flat, the narrowest of vnleneicnues makes up the deep brims, and at tlie back are massed roses shaded from light to dark pink. I ended my letter of last' week with a perfect sermon and your remark about the trials of housekeeping almost provokes me to another one quite ns severe. Madge the matter of fact is this that' you to do too much, you try to make the days' work enough for six, I think there is something bewilderingly paradoxical I11 the fnct that' the more labor-saving devices there are placed upon the market the busier we mortals seem to be. 1 suppose it is owing to the fact that we have to give all our spare time to looking after the devices. I, of course, sympathize with you, having one nmid-of-all- work; but don't you think, denr, that we might not be such slaves to detail? I wonder if tliere is this same restless feeling all over the world, or only you and I Madge who try to do more, than we ought; 1 should thing so judging from the heads of households I meet sometimes in town. Tlie seductive cause of self-imposed slavery mny be traced to the market' place, with its alluring labyrinths of variety. Everywhere we encounter the temptation to indulge in superfluities. It is very seldom you see a woman positive enough t'o resist carrying home from her trip to town, something she does not want, or at least would be better without. I think you ought to rest for a couple of months, and that is why, in my last letter, I suggested your camping this summer; you know "cherie" when you get away from home for a few months, you will find that you will be much more able to manage your house when you get back, and with your husband away I am afraid I ennnot see any reason for you to stay iu that' hot, dusty town all summer. I hope to be able to join you in August, then just think of the idleness we will indulge in. I am afraid at tlie end of the summer we will be gray if we go on in our present foolish way. I agree with one poor little woman who was tired out witli battling with 'genteel' poverty, and said to me one day: "Let me have restful peace, let nie have harmony at any cost. Life is ugly, deformed, and not worth liviug outside the realm of this heavenly twain." But there, enough of this, I will turn you to a brighter side of our life for there is so much to be enjoyed, and the question is how to get' the most of it. Madge, I have been extravagant again this week, see how readily I own up to it, but I am sure even you would not have been able to scold, when you saw the temptations AVeiler Bros, are holding out' in the wny of table accessaries. Out glass, desert dishes, oil bottles, bon-bon dishes and water bottles, whicli absolutely dazzle you, and last', but uot by any means ienst—vases—it was here I was completely carried away, so I know you will forgive me, knowing my "penchant" for decorations especially fable. They hnve some of those dear old-fashioned Epergnes in opalescent shades, they always remind me of dear old ladies with black silk dresses and white lnce, I suppose becnuse I can just remember seeing thoni when n very small girl; these are very easy to arrange, nnd are very pretty. I also saw some fern dishes whicli quite won my heart in the shape of tulips, with separate linings. You know "cherie" I always look first lit the decorations of a room, it means such n lot to nny room, no matter how beautiful the furniture, and to decorate you must have vases to suit your flowers. I have sets for the table which I have collected from time to time, but still the new shapes coming iu all tbe time tempt nie most terribly. I was asked the other day what' was my favorite color scheme for table decorations. I think it is pink, really the question is a hard one to decide. At n supper we went to last week, the table was done in fhe palest of pink nnd mauve, sweet peas and tulle of the two shades to mutch, the old-fashioned epergne I spoke of was the centerpiece, nnd nt tlie four corners were suinll vases to match. With these flowers maidenhair fern wns used; and with the pale pink shaded light! this dainty table made onethink of fairyland, and was most admired; altogether I think this supper wns one of the jolliest I have been to for a long time, everything wns so perfectly done. I do envy people who have tho knack of simply making people enjoy themselves. I nm wandering off my subject of tables again, and I hnve seen so many pretty ones lately I must give you some more of the descriptions, one especially was douo in yellow Ice land poppies shaded from dark to light, these were arranged in basket vases and yellow ribbon; these dainty little vases were a great novelty, I had never seen iiieiu before, they were of amber glass, tlie centre one being bigger than the others. From the chandelier was suspended an ordinary flower basket filled with poppies and wild grass, tied with a huge bow of soft yellow ribbon, tlie ends of which were brought to the corners of the table and tied in two smaller bows, you can't imagiue how pretty this wus hy my description, which 1 am afraid can hardly describe anything so artistic. What a lot of individuality eau be displayed in decorating, and it is such interesting work. Chiffon, ribbon and t'ulle are used a great deal for tables, and tire sometimes of a contrasting shade to the flowers. Talking of tables reminds me of your repealed request for some salad receipe. For ordinary dossing I think the following is one of the best 1 have used: Put into a basin a tea- spoouful each of sugar and mustard, add half a teaspoonful ench of pepper and salt, two tablespooufuls salad oil, stirred iu drop by drop, then two teaspoonfuls of vinegar, lastly add four tablespooufuls thiu cream, which must be put in slowly or it will curdle, this dressing will keep a week or more hi a cool place. For tomator, pea, beetroot and celery salad I use the rich mayonnaise dressing us it is thicker. This is made as follows: Beat the raw yolks of four eggs, add a tablespoonful each of salt, sugar, dry mustard and a dash of cayenne, to this add very slowly half a cup of the best salad oil, drop by drop; this, if rightly done will be quite waxy aud Thick, then add half a cup of vinegar aud the beaten whites of the eggs, aud cook as for custard. This is a most excellent dressing, which I have used for years. I have beeu unusually busy this week, Madge, and I am quite proud of the result; I have been "doing up" the room for the cousin 1 am expecting to visit mo t'his summer. The wall paper, you know, was green, and I have bad the woodwork and Door stained a darker green, and the rug, Madge, is a most lovely akbar art square in shades of green, the curtains and hangings are of art green muslin fastened with pale pink bows, with little white outside curtains; i'he dressing table, which by the way is a most substantial packing case, is padded and draped with muslin to match the curtains, and has little shelves for boots, etc. I have had a box made for her dresses, which is about five feet loug uud uot too deep, and it just fits into the window alcove. I have this upholstered in green denim, and with a few cushions covered with white muslin finishes a most "comfy" little room, the bed and toilet coverts are, of course, white. I a in looking forward to her arrival; which I hope will be early (his week, I have a nice little surprise for her; remembering her fondness for music I got iier one of those lovely mandolins from Fletcher's, and I hope she will take advantage of the liberal offer that enterprising firm are making. Fancy, Madge, with every mandolin, guitar or banjo l hey are offering ten lessons from the best' teacher in Victorin free of charge. Farewell for this week, Madge. I am oil to a brilliant society function this afternoon, and next week will promise you some more summer receipts. Yours, BABETTE. VICTORIA 57 GOVERNMENT STREET rinch & Hnch TENNIS SHIRTS.
