The Cranbrook Herald haa been enlarged from sis to seven columns, so well is it appreciated and supported in its district. It finds room in its extra column tn remark: "The editor of the Silvertonian 'continues to give evidence t{ crank ism. He berates Canada'', curses the United suites and slurs England.

Chinese servant stories are epidemic. Here's one told by the Milwaukee Sentinel aa "gospel linth." A West side woman a few days ago was boasting lo a caller of the virtues of her Mongolian C'iok, and the emphasized tbe latter's systematic methods as his special strong point. "John finishes his work at precisely the same minute every evening," "aid she proudly. "I always know exactly where he is and what he is doing at any time of tlie dav." "Well what is he doing now?" was asked. "Let nie see. It waa 7 o'clock. Well- he has just finished putting away the dishes and at this moment is sweeping the kitchen. Come, let's go out and see if I'm not right." They started through the ilitiiiig-rno'ii, and lound everything in Its plaee as propheried. In the pantry tbe dishet. were neatly arranged in their places. Then they opened the kitchen door.

I told ber 'twas renlly wicked to scoff At a story of love, and she run Her eyes o'er my face aud esclamed: "O ring off! You've got the wrong number, old man!

Down life's crooked path 1 would stray hy her side, Would wed ber for weal or for woe, And giving her gum a few chops, she replied: "Say, Ruben, what's estin' you eo." In eloquent language a picture I drew Of liie in a mountain retreat, Where flowers at morn were bejeweled with dew. And laden with odors most sweet. She'd reign as queen o'er the cabin while I Delved after gold with the pick. Like rippling ol mountain brook came her reply; "That trump never touches the trick." I worked in a sentiment tnuchingly grand Of natme'e great scenic displays, Of loveliness pictured on every hand, Of rapturous bliss-laden ihtys. The way that 1 piled the blight adjectives un The breast of a corpse would have tired, And when 1 had finished she aaid with a vawn : "You make me exceedingly tired!" "Suppose," I began in more aerious lone. "That 1 am of loftier rank Than that of a miner, have mines of my own. And in I'ley stscked up in the hsnk?"

The origin of the fire Wednesday was the hottest ever recorded in Chicago, the mercury in the weather tower showing 101 1-2 degrees, while thermometers on the streets were from two to four degrees hotter. The Minnesota state pardon board has approved thc parole of Cole and James Younger, who have 'been in the Stillwater penitentiary for the past 25 years for complicity in the robbery and murder at the time of the raid on the Northfield, Minn., bank. The town of Port La Vica, Calhoun county, Texas, was swept away recently by a storm. Nearly all the houses were blown away and a large number of bout a were wrecked. No lives are reported lost.

Glasgow, MonMuly 11.—Sheriff Griffith has arrived for reinforcements and brought the first authentic news of the whereabouts of the bandits who held up the Great Northern express near Malta. He is confident that he has the outlaws cornered 60 miles south of the railroad on the north side of the Missouri river and between the river and the little Rockies. The state department has received the amount of the American idemnity claims against Turkey—186,000—through the American legation at Constantinople. The money was paid by the Turkish government to Mr. Leishman, our minister at Constantinople, and was by him placed in the Ottoman Imperial bank and drafts remitted for tlie amount.

At Dennlson, Texas, the worst drouth ever experienced was broken Sunday afternoon by a terrific rainfall of over two hours' duration, the volume of rain Using almost equal to a cloudburst. At Niagara Falls, N. Y., Carlisle Graham Sunday afternoon made his fifth suooeseful voy^e through the Whirlpool rapids lo^^brrel. The start was made from thMTaid of the Mist landing, below the falls. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson hopes tbat the corn crop of the western statea has not yet been ruined by the drought He Is disposed to believe the reports as to the damage have been exaggerated.

There were reviews at all naval and military stations, followed by H'umlnatIons. fireworks and balls hi the evening. The Parisians participated with their usual zest. Up to within a week the outlook for the harvest In the middle west wai favorable. Wheat was doing well In Minnesota and the Dakatas, but lt la now believed that drouth ln some sections and floods In others will reduce the figures below the estimates made earlier In the year. What effect the present torrid wave Will have on the crop can not now be foretold. t Major Putnam B. Stron* quartermaster's department, U. S. A., has announced that he had resigned from the army for personal and finanolal reasons and that his resignation luid been accepted by Secretary Root. The resignation followed the publication of an escapade in San Francisco in which Strong and Lady Francis Hope, formerly May Yohe, are the principals. The departure from Pekin of Prince Chun, younger brother of Emperor Kwang Su, who has been selected formally to-apollgisse at Berlin for the murder of BarOn von Ketteler, was a spectacular event.

He will sail from Shanghai July 20 for Genoa and will proceed directly from there to F-erlln by rail. There were ln 1880 580 places of more than 4,000 population each, wlt/h an aggregate population of 12 936,110, or 25.8 per cent of the population. About one half of the urban population of 1900 was contained ln cities of over 100,000 people. There were 38 of these cities, with a combined population ot 14,208,376. There are now 1,150 places of over 4,000 people ln the country, aa against 800 ln 1890. The population of the District of Columbia is regarded aa urban. The census office has issued a bulletin concerning the urban population of the country. It shows that 28,411.638 people in the United States live in cities and towns of over 4,000 population. This is 37.3 per cent of the entire population, a gain of almost 5 per cent since the census of 1890, when the percentage was 32.9. Compared with the census of 1880, the report shows a gain ln the urban population of the country of more than a third In percentage and of considerably more than double In actual numbers.

Minerals taken from the earth during the year \900 aggregated a billion and a third of dollars in value. Tried to Kill the Jodsre. Vancouver, B. C, July 15.—A sensational climax of the Frazer river salmon fishermen's strike occurred recently when a man alleged to be a union fisherman, named Michael Sullivan, attempted to shoot J. A. Russell, police magistrate. The latter is associated in the management of a cannery, and has been prominent in urging the prosecution of the fishermen arrested for conspiracy, intimidation and the kidnaping of Japanese. The magistrate was coming down from the police station, where he had held court. The man, supposed to be Sullivan, stopped him and, pointing the revolver, said:' "This is the way to treat the enemies of labor." Before he could pull the trigger Mr. Russell knocked down the man's arm and the latter turned, dodged up an alley and escaped. A Butte Smelter Starts Vp. Butte, Mont., July 15.—After -lieing idle for six weeks on account of differences with the employes over the eight hour question the Colorado smelter has started up with a full force of men. The trouble arose over the demand of the smelter men that the outside men, including machinists, .should receive the benefit of the eight hour law. The company, not "being willing to concede this, closed down the works. The men will go to work on the old arrangement, 'by which all men actually employed in the work of smelting get eight hours a day at the same wages as formerly paid for 10. The machinists get the nine hours demanded by the national organizations. The outside machinists work 10 hours. Strike Is Settled at Reading. Reading, Pa., July 'IS.—The strike of the 2700 employes of the Reading Iron company, including the tiilie works, the Ninth street and the Olney street mill, is ended after having lasted 10 weeks, since May 0. The new scale of wages will be the same as that paid by the company in August, IHIMI, which was the boom period of iron prices. Puddlers will receive $4 a ton and the other trades in proportion. The union is not recognized, the com- |smy reserving the right to employ any men whether union or nonunion, hut all of the strikers will be taken back and none will bc discriminated against. Soourse In Tennessee, Memphis, Tenn., July 15.- -Tlio Scourge of cliiirbiin is creating a reign of terror throughout the counties of Bolivar, Madi- ■son and Coahoma, in Mississippi, mid it is rumored that not enough animals have escaped the d'weasc to work the crops for the remainder of the year. The disease is so very virulent that it is affecting all forms of animal life. Seven negroes have died in the vicinity of Beulah, Bolivar county, from the disease, and it has created such dread among other negroes that they are refusing to take work. Frank Kelfer Drowned. •Wenatchee, Wash., July 15.—Frnn'k Keifer, who was working with Mr. Morris on the Wenatchee ferryboat, fell overboard and drowned. It was just about dark and the boat was making a crossing, a man being at each end of the boat, when Morris heard a splash and missed Keifer, who must have stumbled and fallen into the river, Lawson Ueuerons to His Crew. Newport, R. I., July 15.—Just Iiefore leaving Newport Mr. I-iiwson went on board the Independence and made Captain IUi If, the two mates and the crew handsome presents. To Captain Haff he presented ?100O in gold; to First Mute Haff he gave $500; to Second Mate Miller, 1250, and to each member of the crew $00. Republic. William Cf. Madison, president and manager of the Bodle, on Toroda creek, says that the Bodle ls in better shape than ever before. Col. W. M. Ridpath says mills in Republic are failures. The ore is fit only for smelting. The Increase of silver with depth In the Republic has upset calculations and has practically destroyed usefulness of the mill. Nearly half a million has been wasted on mills. The news that a railway will soon be into Republic has already had a marked effect on smaller componles operating ln the camp, as well as on the larger corporations. There are Indications that a good many undeveloped properties on which work has been suspended will soon be on the active list again. A. \\. Strong was at the El Caliph mine last week and brought back some beautiful specimens of the ore that carried streaks of free gold as wide as a man's finger. In appearance It could not be told from the remarkably rich streake found tn the Morning Glory. The entire ledge gave better assays than ever before. The Trade Dollar shaft Is 70 feot deep and is to be pushed down to the 300 foot level. The ledge has averaged four feet in width for the 29 feet that the shaft passed diagonally through the ledge. Some of the best ore that has ever been found In the property has been taken out of the shaft. The values are said to run a little over $30 per ton. Expectations of the recent strike of free gold ore In the Oversight on Belcher mountain are apparently to be fulfilled. The shaft has reached a depth of 55 feet. So far as appearances go there is no change in tbe ore from that taken from the shaft at a depth of 16 feet, which created so much Interest. Many then believed that before a depth of 50 feet had been reached the oxidised ore would disappear, but this has proved to be erroneous. Not only is the ore as highly oxidized as nearer the surface, but the values are also maintained. It is reported that the ore runs from $15 to $26 per ton. Surface Indications point to a width of more than 100 feet. BRITISH COLUMBIA. Last week the diamond drill that has been working on the R. Bell was taken to Phoenix, and Is now boring holes in the lower workings of the Old Ironsides. The Hewitt mine is to start up in full force within about 30 days. Steady shipping from that property Is to begin at that time, and the Hewitt will be one of the largest producers In the Slocan district. The property is owned and was developed by Spokane men, and Is turning out to be a wonder. "The Oranby Consolidated company will go ahead at once with the building of Its copper refinery. We are getting the preliminary Information as fast as possible, and lt Is only a question of time before ground ls broken," said Jay P. Graves, the vice president and general manager of the Granby company, who Is Just back from the east One of the most remarkable features of the Rossland mines Is the regularity of their ore values. Although a much lower grade of ore is being mined now than ever before In the history of the camp, thanks to Improved facilities, yet the proportion of gold, sliver and copper found In the Lardo district, and all the Lexington Mountain property, on which the property Is situated, has been staked. The Fort Steele mining division en- Joys the distinction of having made a greater Increase In production during the year 1900 than any individual mining division in British Columbia, the value of the mineral output Including that of tho brow's Nest collieries, having risen from about half a million, making this division the second producer In the province, the Nanalmo division being the first on account of Its large coal production. The Philadelphia Academy of Sciences own a lock of hair from tbe head . of each president of the United States. I MINING 1VOTRS. At Wallace, Idaho, the directors of the Amador have decided that the property la developed to a point where shipments can be made. C. B. Hopper from Sliver City, Idaho, states that a stamp mill Is to be erected in Twilight gulch, near the property owned by the Flint company. The Buckhorn company, working the Buckhorn south of Northport will start a double shift of miners to work at sinking the winze In a few days. The next and fourth annual session of the International Mining Congress will convene In Boise, Idaho, July 23, 1901, and continue thereafter the 24th and 26th. A magazine of dynamite located near the Grant smelter, Denver, Col., exploded, killing two men and Injuring several others. The dead are: Domenlco Muto and Tony West. Two carloads of mining machinery has arrived from Salt Lake for the Blue Jacket Consolidated Mining company. In the Seven Devils, The shipment Includes pumps, hoisting machinery, etc. Considerable uneasiness Is felt over the mysterious disappearance of M. M. Brown, a well known mining man of the Hoodoo -district, who disappeared In Spokane lost week, since which time no trace of him has been had. The Empire State-Idaho Company ls yielding enormous profits. Charles Sweeny, general manager of the company,, has returned from a trip to New York. He says he has nothing to say now in regard to the Clark suit. L. K. Armstrong, superintendent of the mining exhibit from the state of Washington at Buffalo, has returned from tho exposition, and says that Washington has the finest exhibit of crude ores of any state In the Union. The strike of the miners at Rossland has not affected the strike situation at Northport, for there are over 100,000 tons of ore In the smelter yards. This amount would Insufficient for a three months' run at the full capacity of the plant. Parties arriving from the Thunder Mountain country, near Grangevllle, Idaho, report that the work which has been progressing all winter on the property of Colonel Dewey has shown up an extent of ore and values that ls marvelous. The forthcoming statement of the coinage executed at the mints of the United States for the fiscal year ending June 29, 1901, will show the total coinage to have been $136,304,781, as follows: Gold, $99,066,715; sliver, $35,- 265,498; minor coins, $2,009,568. The big ledge from which came all the rich float found on the main creek flowing into Huyilen lake has been found. The ledge stands out fully 50 feet ln width and with a showing of beautiful quartz. The ore Is silver lead, and there are numerous spec! mens of crystallzed lead found among the ore. Judge Beatty of Idaho has rendered an important decision in the case of the United States versus the Newsum k Leggett Creek Hydraulic Mining com pany, limited. The decision gives the company the right to construct a placer mining ditch in the Bitter Root forest reservation ln Idaho county, pending regular trial of the case. Butte is tbe place where more mining accidents occur than anywhere else in America. But no matter how serious the case the hospitals there will refuse invariably to take the injured ones unless payment Is guaranteed. So the city council and other authorities have Informally discussed the matter and decided to bave on emergency hospital Thc city and the county will share the expense. From Redding, Cal., comos tbe news that H. H. McClure, a pioneer mining man of Bully Hill, has bonded eight claims adjoining Captain De Lamar's Bully Hill mines to C. D. Porter and associated mining men of Spokane, Wash., for $60,000. A cash payment was made and others are to follow each month. The copper ledge which has been struck on the claims will be de veloped. News comes from Moscow Mountain, Idaho, that the White Cross has struck a body of rich ore In the 100 foot level. There Is said to be six feet of It. all free milling, and an assay of samples across the whole ledge gave a return of $130 per ton.

He T_.|e«r«„Ued His Heslmiutlon, but H Wns Not Avcepted-An ActrcNS In the Cuse-Hhe Was Offered ¥1000 a Week Siilnry. 8an Francisco, July 15.—Captatn Put- ham Uradlee Strong, who expected to sail for Manila on the transport Grant, has had hia transportation revoked, and though he has telegraphed his resignation from the regular army lt has not yet been accepted by Secretary Hoot, who has requested him to Bend his resignation In the usual way by mall, giving specific reasons for his desire to quit the service which he showed so much eagerness to join.' Strong gives as reason for his resignation the necessity of looking after the estate left by his father, but this ls regarded here as a subterfuge. Military men who have followed the case carefully say his resignation by wire came after he had vainly trlod to get tho government to give him transportation on thn steamer Nippon Marti, which carries Lady Francis Hope to Hong Kong. They say he telegraphed his resignation through fear that he would be courtmartlaled for his open and notorious relations with the woman, who ts better known as May Yohe, the actress. This theory gets strong corroboration from the fact that Major Oeneral Young, who recently succeeded-Major General Shafter In charge of this department, la angry over Strong's escapade, which has brought the army officer Into offensive notoriety. and\ he has declared that Strong should be arrested and tried for conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. Lady Hope received a local theatrical manager and discussed a contract for two years at $1,000 per week He wants her to open here, but she prefers Hong Kong. THE UPS AND DOWNS IN THE LIFE OF A CLERK.

With a Hupi'V Kiiillni: Tlm World Seemed All Very Dark for a While. A clerk's life, ordinarily, is a very humdrum one with but very little variety to the daily routine. But Mr. Fred It. Morton of No. 80 Vesper street, Portland Me., hud an experience recently which lias made his life now a very hupiiy one. In telling a report cr of what he went through he snid: ■ "I had been suffering with stomach trouble for about two years. Every day about ten o'clock in the morning md three o'clock in the afternoon I became faint and felt so bad that if I did nut sit down I would, fall. That sensation usually lusted for about an hour and when noon came I had no appetite for lunch. "I saw Dr. William!1 Pink Pills for Pule People advertised in the daily papers uUuit a year ngo and decided to try them, I felt relief from the lirst box and after I had taken six boxes my disease wan cured. 1 do not take them now but always keep them in the house. I have told my friends what these pills have done for me and should I know of any one's being sick as I was I should recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." Mr. Morton's statement was published in the Portland Express after he hud sworn to it before Marshall H, I'urriiigton, a notary public. The most effective remedy in the world in cases of this kind is Dr. Williams' 1'ink .Pills for Pale People. They act directly on the blood and nerves. This makes them invaluable not only for stomach trouble but al.-o for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effects of the grip, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions and all forms of weakness either in male or female.

Mercury AND Potash Everybody knows thnt Mercury is a dangerous medicine even when administered In very small doses, and few constitutions can stand it for any length of time.

Now. the doctors will tell you if you have ConSiiiBlood Toison you must take these minerals for two yeare or longer; tot a course of Mercury, and when your teeth get so sensitive and sore that you can't eat and the gums have a spongy, unnatural appearance, you are told to atop and a change to Potash is made. *Whcn the stomach rebels you are put on Mercury Z in and » on od infinitum, or until the system becomes so thoroughly saturated wYtb these>oisonousydrugs that U.e most disgusting sores break out on the body, tlie bones become disease!, and the muscles and joints are racked with the most torturing pains.

Plans for the big street fair and jubilee, which Spokane Elks are to hold ln connection with the Spokane Interstate Fair, are rapidly being completed. The Elks have secured the old fruit fair site ln the rear of the Auditorium block and will have a large tented and enclosed apace. The main tent which has seating capacity for 10,000 people will contain the principal entertainment feature—the Royal Italian Band. This Is the recognized Royal Marine Band of la3t year, larger and better. The Interstate Pair will run ln the day time and the Elks will hold forth at night. Both commence on the same date, but the Elks continue three days after the fair has closed. The street fair will differ from any other evSnt of the fair kind ever held in Spokane. A specialty will be made of Industrial exhibits. In connection will be a Midway Plalsance, similar to tho'-o that were seen at Chicago and Omaha and Is now a prominent part of the Pan-American Exposition. In this Midway will be a German village, an Algerian village, Streets of Cairo, and Mexican village and theater. Arabs, Turks, Mexicans and representatives of other countries will be seen In exhibitions of their national dances, sports and customs. This Midway will probably continue the first week of the fair and Jubilee, when lt will give way to a complete change of program lasting until the end. After the Midway has been abandoned, It Is proposed to hold most of tho entertainment In the large tent. This will be arranged hippodrome fash- Ion with the Royal Italian Band In the center and reserved seat section on both sides. This will leave spa_ce for a large ring inside the quarter poles of the tent. Inside this ring will be held military tournaments with both Infantry and cavalary drills, athletic sports, rock-drilling contests and many other things. One of the main events towards the close will be an amateur circus given entirely by the Elks. A strong committee of business men has taken hold of the matter of street Illumination and they have promised that the city will present a true carnival appearance eo far as electric lighting ingenuity and the best of artists can make it. Spokane Elks have just completed a $60,000 temple and the dedication of that will be one of the features of the jubilee. Prominent members of the order from the east will be on hand to assist In the dedication. No less than 200 new members will be initiated and there will be .social sessions, parades, banquets and a grand ball.

W\i\0l .1 This is the season of tho /ear during which tha prospectors scour oar mountain sides, search the deep canyons and climb tho cliffe and crags of thc mountain peaks, seeking to discover new veins of the precious metals, in the hopes of wresting a fortune from the breast of eld mother earth. May good fortune'attend them and watch over this army of honest, hard-working and fearless men, who brave more dangers and fate more real hardships than most people real ice and on whose efforts and tireles? energy the whole prosperity of the west i* indebted. Wherever a railroad is seen crawling arounil a mountain side or following the windings of some western river, yon may lie sure that the prospector has biased the way and made it possible and profitable for the capitalist and engineer to build the mad; when gaaing down opon some mountain city, nestling in its valley and shaded by the monntain peaks, with its electric lights prosperous businessmen and happy homes, stop long e.notjjti to think of and give, credit to the prospector who has made these tilings possil-le. The following, from the Nelson Economist will commend itself to the many in the Kootenays who have seen justice parodied through the lives and official acts of tpme of His Majesty's servants. Our contemporary says: "A Government to command the respect and confidence of the people should see to it that its officials conduct themselves properly and not to the scandal of tho community in which they are located and tho Province at large. We have no desire to make a pointed reference to the Government's officials in the Kootenay, but it mnst be confessed that some of them are not always in a condition to give proper attention to their work. A little investigation in this respect might be appreciated by the public at large." w*******m**w**»*ww .-,;W.nW+.S.i.. .W.W.: .^■"■'l 1 L'TT-tS be done to aa regardless of his wealth or walk in life. Every few days we hear of some one advocating the building of a smelting plant at first one point in the Slocan and then nnother. A small custom smelting plant will not pay, as proved by the fact that dozens are today standing idle in the States, and a plant to be successfully operated must first have a sufficient supply of ores of different kinds to mako the proper mixtures for the economical working of them all. It mast be situated so as to lip able to draw supplies of iron and lime, for fluxing purposes, and coke and coal at a minimum cost, as the cost cf tlii'Bii materials being excessive the charge must be added to the smelting charges on the ores treated To be operated successfully it must bo. run practically continuously, aa the starting ap or shutting down of a smelting plant is a costly operation, and a crew once disbanded find scattered cannot be got together again without considerable delay. A smelter of say 200 tons capacity, which is far from lieing a large plant, would require some 70,000 tons if ore to run it for a year, which it is doubtful if the Slocan could pupply, providing the smelter got all the ores mined. A smelting plant on Slocsn Lake would, we are itfraid, not be a paying institution at the present time. CEYLONANDINDIATEAf Green or Black.

A large number of miners are leaving that camp and the mining industry of British Colombia is losing a lot of fine miners. The majority of the Japaneese now engaged in fishing on the Fraser river are known to be illegally naturalized, illegally licenced and carrying arms. All these facts are known to our government officials and any one of them is a serious offence against tbe laws of the land. Then why do our peace officers not net! Can it bo that the Dunsmuir Government has degenerated into the tool of a few rich cannerymen and that tbe law of the land is to be the rich and reserved to bc dealt our severely to tbn man or men wbo are unfortunate enough to be poor.

A Kootenay editor is not a fit subject for ordinary discussion, but so little is known of the genus by tbo wot Id at Iar<;e j tbat perhaps a lew concentrated noius I upon this float uf the population niuy ' not be without interest. It Is difficult to classify editors—with the rest of Kootenalans one may divide them into tao classes, those who drink Scotch and soda and those who drink Scotch and appolioarls—but Kooienay editors drink indisctimlnatoly and impartially, being satisfied if there's only the whisky and even If the whisky gives ont will take any other liquid except ink or water. Nor can Ihe editors be divided as differing in persooal appearance from other folk; some are smooth shaved some have mustaches while others we«r billy-trout whiskers. The veracity of au editor is always a matter ol very Krave doubt and unless he coincides with your ideas yon are at liberty to doubt him. Kootenay eriiUr* have n soft snap, nothing much to do but write up stuff to auit the ideas of peoplo whose ideas differ about aa much as an iceberg aud a ray o' sunshine and his life is mostly spent in explaining to angry advertisers that he didn't mean what they thought he meant but something entirely different. In one reaped Ihe Kootenay editors have an advantage, they are never offered fresh vegetables or stale eggs for subaci iptions, but on the contrary are staked in ou every desriipliop ol mine- having only to pay tho recorder nnd .. grub-stake the staker. Thia Is the ! i( ' ! f reason which makes a Kootenay editor look like the tilled owner of an unimproved Irit.li estate. His range ol vision is limited to tho width ofthe clearing he lives in, but his range of imagination U limited only to his knowledge of superlatives. He F P.
