Communications read: From the city solicitor, enclosing one from D. D. Giiuii, Orillia, solicitor for tho O.S. Lumber Co. The latter refused to accept the lease drawn up by the'C.P.R. for their right of wav through block F. The mill company wants tho city to draw up the lease and pay for it, tho cost bung JIO. The railway company wanted a rent of |6 a year. The agreement between the mill company and the citv was read and the difference bctw.e.i that and the lease drawn up by the C.P.K. pointed out. The first was absolute for ten years at Sl a year, the other being for 25 years at $5 and terminating with 80 days' notice at any time. The city solicitor was instructed to correspond with the railway company and to have the lease altered to tho original lines of agreement with the mill people. Returning oilier made his report of the recent electiou. Filed. Tho clerk reported a balance in the citv treasury c,f $617.82. Aid. Worden brought up question of a grant to City Treasurer Anderson. He and Aid. Teeter moved the payment of S25, which was granted. The clerk reported that the auditor had not yet completed his task, aud theu lhe old board adjourned. New Ciie-.ifl'll. Ths new council as embled its. follows: Mayor McNeish, Aid. Worden, Smith, Madden, Henderson and Teeter. Each of the board elect subscribed to and presented the necessary declaratioas'of qualifications and oatli of aiiKee. Justice Curiis acting as ms*** ter of ceremonies. Aid. Smith congratulated the city on having almost a full council and a mayor. The aldermanic o.iths of office were ordered filed. Mayor McNeish presented iiis list of committees, as follows: Finance Aid. Teeter, Henderson and Madden, Board of works Aid. Worden, Smith and Teeter. Fire, water and lighl Aid. .Smith, Henderson and Teeter. Health A hi. Madden, Worden and Henderson. The mayor said th**re was aa important work to attend to at once, that is with regard to Springer creek, antl he wa*i sure the council would boar him out in tint. A survey of the creek I ought to be mid . and a working plan drawn up, fo that, they might call for tenders. A plan was really necessary for the protection works to the mill property. To obtain means to pay for this work, thoy must pass a bylaw at once to collect the delinquent taxes. Even with the passing ol the bylaw there would certainly be a delay of some weeks before ths money would be in. Econom y should be the watchword in a'l thing*. The aldermen should all work together aud strive to get good value for all monev expend* ed. Nest, the mayor thought, would come the appointment of the city officers for the year, he not lieing sure as to whether the old ones had to Ik- reappointed or not. Aid. Teeter stated that lust summer th.- council had voted to amalgamate all the offices under on * salary. Tliey were DOW employing two men and it was giving rise to un] 1 lasanl talk. He did not know whether the council intended to oontinue this. Aid. Smith believed things were going along satisfactorily. Aid. Teeter said unpleasant things were being uttered against the present arrangement. He woultl favor calling for applications for thc combined positions. Ho had no hostility against tho present incumbent of the clerkship and the business had been thoroughly done, but there might lx. other applicants for the position. If these were given a chance there could then ha- no kick about the awarding of the offices. Aid. Smith did not approve of any change in the office, though a small position, without, reason. The council sliould re-appoint tin-old officer, as In- had started in on the new year. He would just as soon see the present clerk continue, if his work ami Ixmd- were satisfactory. Aid. Henderson said the salary of the office wai SO small that tliere could be no aspirants. The present clerk was used to his work and he should be continued. A new clerk might not be acceptable and, as Dr. Bentley bad given satisfaction, ho should lio continued. Aid. Teeter remarked that sometimes it was necessary to make a change. Tho doctor might oven want to resign. Ho knew of no aspirants for tht; position, but he wanted all citizens to have an equal show. Aid. Worden said that when thoy got a good man in office there wa.s no uso changing. The clerk was giving good satisfaction, but if thero were otlier aspirants they had a right to a show. For himself, ho wanted to see no change. Aid. Teeter remarked lhat it was not necessary to think thero woultl bo a change, Tho public had a right to participate in these things and no man had a lifo claim on an office. The c iiincil was trving to do what was right by all and the clerk's work was satisfactory. There should be no imputation placed on any member of the boa cd, Mayor McNeish, as a police commissioner, said the policeman held office till he was either fired or resigned. If the mayor had anything to do with the appointment of the clerk, there would nave lieen no deadlock for tho past half hour. Aid. Teeter said that he was in a minority, and he knew if he made a motion be would bo voted down. Not being sufficiently posted on the law, he hardly knew how to act in the matter. He, however, would move that the combined office of clerk, assessor, etc., lie declared vacant 80 days from date, as also that of treasurer, and that the council be prepared to receive applications Tor the positions. Aid. Smith held that the various speech, It was a new experience to him to lie an alderman and he hardly knew what to do. Ho had beon a long une in town, but it was tho lirst timo he had been iu tho chamber. He believed the council should work in harmony together for the good of the public. He knew of no real issue dividing them, and he supposed it was the duty of the council to go in for electric lights and waterworks. That was what the town was incorporated for and thoy should do something. Tho citv's finances did not allow mnch margin to work on, but all must work to the advantage of the people. Aid. Madden could not bo induced lu make a speech. The mayor wanted to seo a survey mado of tho creek, as they should get to work on the Improvements at once. They would havo to get permission of the mill company to pile some of their lots. Aid. Worden moved that the mayor be instructed to obtain tho required survey. Seconded by Aid. Teeter and carried. The clerk asked to have the Ixmds of himself and treasurer returned from the bank. Granted. Aid. Worden said there was still a chair vacant at the lxiard. The council had power to fill it and he would like to see it done. Left over for one week. Clerk asked for $5 to gazette the election returns. Granted. Council adjourned. Arlington Reduction Works Are Assured • • • 0 It is an assured fact thnt the Arlington people will erect their reduction works at their mine this season, a statemeut that will be gladsome news to the people of the camp. As is known, J. Frank Collom, managing director of the Arlington Mines, has been in the eastern mousy market off and on for months, and has final ly suc- CGoded in raising tli3 necessary capital to erect and operate the works. A reserve fund will also be maintained wherewith to purchase custom ore^ from nei (hboring properties, the owners of which will br* able to realto at onca on their output without the heavy expenditures for freight and sm -Iter treatment. The information re- giirdin I the mill was contained ia a letter received here Friday by H. D. Curtis, thj company's Nkiceaentatura. It came from Mr. Collom, who has been in consultation wilh the Arlington directors in San Francisco. The letter rays: "Bf building the mill we will spend a larger sum of monev in outai le improvements than ever before on the properties, and it shouhl but!r- best possible evidence of our confidence iu the mines. You are at liberty to state that neither Dr. Hendryx or our friends in Vancouver have any i-.tore t in the process employed in this mill; that w>j will pay no royalty to anyone, and that there is no possibility of any successful litigation ov.-r tho matter, and uo likelihood of any litigation being commenced by any of the parties concerned. We shall not infringe on their right > in any matter and have taken all necessary precautions to secure the absolute right to use the'pro- ccss and machinery which we will employ. '•Active operation .upon the mill cannot be begun until spring. Tho lirst work will lu the preparation of the site, which cannot be done till tho snow is pretty well gone. By that timo the timber, etc., will be on the ground nnd the machinery will be ready as soon as the buildings. The mill will be a custom mill ami will bid for all ores similar to those of the Arlington which can be made tributary to the Arlington basin. It will take six months to complete the mill after active operations havo begun, so it will not be treating ore before next fall." The erection of the Arlington mill would mean the expenditure of a large sum of money, much larger indeed than at first contom- plated There will 1h> a great many men employed and the results will be most beneficial to all tbe varied interests in the cam]), ushering in a now era of progress and prosperity. At the Arlington thev have sufficient ore on the dumps and in the stopes to keep the mill running-for three years, to which maybe added the great reserves at the Speculator. In order to treat these bodies antl the ores from olher claim's, the capacity of the mill mast be enlarged, while general operations will beon an extensive scale. Onco established the mill will bring untold lieneiit to the, camp. OUR ORE SHIPMENTS SI ■"STANTIAI, SHOWING MADO BT THIS DIVISION.

The week's exports from the local division were fairly satisfactory, 47 tous having beon sent out. Forty tons came from tho Enterprise, while the remainder came from the Port Hope, which enters the shipping list for the first time. To date the output is 103 tons. For 1903 the ore shipments from tho local division amounted to 1888 tons, made up from 17 properties. Following is a full list of the shipments this year to date: Kim. WBKK.

The law was read and it was shown to be unnecessary to re-appoint tin- officers, as they could continue ill office. New bonds would have to Im drawn up. Motion was seconded by Aid. Madden ami carried. Aid. Teeter gave notice that at next meeting he would Introduce an amendment to bylaw 13, reducing the number of hotel licenses from eight to seven; also of introducing a delinquent tax bylaw. In answer to a query, the mayor said the city solicitor was the man to draw up the necessary bylaws, as that was what he was paid for. A query was made as to who woultl comprise the new commissioners. Aid. Smith was the only one qualified to act from the council. Mayor McNeish stated the school board wanted a few dollars to cover December accounts. He was opposed to employees having to wait for their wages. They should get theni on the first of everv month and not wait till the 15th. Aid. Teeter coincided and moved a standing order for school money to be paid on lirst of each month. .Seconded by Aid. Worden and carried. A resolution was passed giving the trustees $10 to wipe out December accounts. Under the head of new business, Aid. Henderson made his inajtien Cuugrfgatliinitl Hruling. On Tuesday evening the annual meetiug of Knox church congregation was heltl. there being a fair attendance. The readiug of the various reports was interspersed with a musical programme, in which Mesdanies Worden and Brooksbank, W. E. Worden nud I). Arnot, with the choir, participated. Tho reports revealed a small deficit in the finances, though the income has been good considering the times. Iu the election of officers, Messrs. Arnot, Anderson, McCallum, Craig and Campbell wore selected ns managers; Messrs. Worden aud McNeish auditors, and Rev. Mr. Simons superintendent of .Sunday school. Before dispersing the ladies served refreshments to the audience. Vert Hope Shlpe Ore. Bob Allen rawhided down a small shipment of ore from the Tort Hope during tho week. There was about seven tons of ore in the lot, and it was sent to Nelson Tuesday in chargo of 0. McNicholl. one of tho lessees. It is all of paying grade and the lessees will get fair returus for their labors. In the spring they will ship eonsidir- j able second class ore from the dumps. Another 20 feet will complete their i crosscut tunnel and then tliey will be in a position to take out. much ore. ■ Mrs. J, Gnrvey arrived In from Se nttle v.-st'i'dii v. MINKS AND MININO. Sandon mines last week shipped 110 tons of ore. Boundary mines last week shipped 16,290 tons. The new tram at the Idaho is in running shape. Last week Rosslaud mines shipped 10,955 tons of^ore. The Idaho is one of the foremost shippers in the camp. Shipments from the npper Slocan are starting out better this year thau iu 1903. A couple of men were in last weok aud took a look at the Chapleau, with a view to leasing it. The lessees of the Sovereign have commenced shipping, tho first output from that property in years. James Cross has transferred his interest in the. Duplex and .Southern Chief chums to Rojieit Cooper, i The Payne will ship 500 tons of zinc to Kansas. The Ivanhoe is also shipping 300 tons to tho same place. W. D. McGregor is applying for a crown grant on tho Rome and Garibaldi claims, at the head of Ten Mile creek. As a result of the recent reduction In freight rates ou zinc, the Payne will ship its output to Belgium.there lieing a saving of $4.50 per ton over the old figures. Ml" Nil'l IMI. ELECTIONS.

Honors sit lightly on Mr. Whymper, and he always d.xlin- es to talk of those successes which ordinary individuals would t>o proud to discuss. Having conquered the greatest of the Old World's mountain peaks, a couple of years ago. Air. Whymper sought new fields to exploit on this bide of tho Atlantic, and his contributions to the twentieth century knowledge of tho mountains of Canada it most vuluahlo to everybody in general, and particularly to that increasing broih'.'ihooil of mankind, who, urged on by the spirit of adventure, delight in climbing upon tho roof of the world. Wtfteptr, tu* llountela 11 lea bar. Mr, Whymper will tell you, wh.n you ask his age, that he is in his 760th month, and while you aie lig- uring out that ho is in his 04th year, you will wonder that timV* has dealt ao gently with him. Iho average man would suy that hn wus in hi* "fifties," and Mr. Whymper would rejoin that years 'do not make age," and that his seemingly perennial youth ls owing to the care he takes of himself, and the bodily exercise ho daily undergoes. To him, exercise is plcasuro and health, and all that makes a man happy oni contented. So, after his victories amongst the Old World's peaks, he invaded the Canadian Rockies, and this year ho saw a great deal of what thero is in the Canadian mountains, lie walked across tho three ranges which lie between the prairies of Western Canada and the Pacific Coast, to see for himself the hidden beauties of that picturesque region. Laugh* et Hardship!. Hale and hearty yet, as strong anil lusty as a youth in his twenties, Mr. Whyinper laugns at what those who while away tho time ut five o'clock teas would call hardships. A tramp of 600 miles is not on easy one, even in an old settled country; io walk that distance through the mountains of British Columbia is a task from which many would shrink. "And yet," ho says, "it wns merely a pleasure excursion. I havo gone from Laondou to Aberdeen, from Paris to Lyons, untl from Paris to Marseilles, and, while Great. Britain and France are beautiful countries, they cannot comporo with the mng- nificenco of these Canadian mountains. I started from east of Knha- naskis Falls on August 6th, reaching Yale, the head of navigation on the Fraser, on September Oth, and n>er- aged twenty-flvo mites a day whon the weather was favorable. I did not keep to tho raiiway track all the time, but when 1 thought there was something out of the ordinary to see off the line, I made del ours, and was amply recompensed for my trouble. There arc many spots worth ueeing—and this leads mo to suy that people should not rush through the mountains in railway trains, ior they miss a great deal Ihey otherwise would see; the.v should stop over at several places to thoroughly worship the grandeur of nut ure. Which places aro they? Well. loo many places to give in detail, but lor COO miles, as I havo sold, the lover of nature has n world lo admire." relate Especially Kotleeable. "The upper valley of tho Uow," ho said, "is not inferior to the best parts of tho Upper Thames, jet along the entire distance from Uunll to Laggan, there is not a single seta- tier." Putting aside such features ol iho country as are now well known and places on tho' railway that are frequently visited, Mr. Whymper indicated ii few points in the vicinity of the line, which lie considered were especially noticeable, Tlu-y wore. The country around Donald, which Is extremely fine, and almost entirely unexplored; the grand lon-st trees and the neighborhood round nbout Albert Canyon; "JSaglf Blvsr," connecting GriUin Lake ami tho «" r.-nt Shuswap Lake, which latter combines the charms of Windermere and J.iiguii. Gri/lin Lake,'almost ns attractive as the famous Lakes of Thun and llrlonz, but has not yet got a settlor; thn s I renin from tho Great to tho Little .Shuswa!> Lake, culled on tho spot "The Little Itiver," with beautiful bunks mirrored in lis tranquil waters; the western end of the Littlo flShuswiip Luke, With its coves, and foliage overhanging hundred yartls wide, with waters as clear as the Mediterranean. A Cellectlon or Fontwesr. Sproad on his bed were seven pairs of loot-gear—from sunMitls and slippers and moccasins to h-nvy-solcd hobnailed mountaineering boots— which Mr. Whymper uses in his travels. At night ho luxuriates iu Blip- purs. When tho hard work of the day begins, he dons his heavy boots or his sandals, according to circumstances nnd plods along. Thc sandals, ho soys, by ths way, wilh stockings, nro nn abomination. There aro mosquitoes, nnd if you have no stockings on they nro not so bud, but when you put on this footwear, the bills of tho mosquitoes fh.d a tlrm hold in Ihe hose, and then look out for trouble. The moccasin is tho be.st footdre.'s under certain circumstances, and the aborigine knows better than tho cultured white man how to uso them. Civilization does not teach us all things that are uso- ful, and in somo matters our brother in red could give us pointers. It was a granai tr:p Mr. Whymper made through tin Kockies. almost unaocompan.'-il except by his own personality. He had an assistant with four tents, who \v< ni ahead to prepare camping places which Mr. Whymper occupied, and No 1 tent cf to-day became No .*> of to-morrow. 0«rub—food we <-om»tinies call it? Well, he took a smalt hamper with him, and contrived with the ingenuity of a trained mountaineer, to never find himself hungry without opportunities for gratifying his wants. "Ono thing was noticeable." he said, "I never saw a ferocious animal in all ray walks. Porcupines there were, and squirrels, but no boars nor mountain lions." Tliis evidently was a disappointm<ni to him. A Mecnincant Mennlein. Tbo Crow's Nest I'eak is a magnificent mountain, ho sn>s, but little is known of it. The I a*.**, ihe source of th? Old Man Diver, which Hows from a largo mountain, is ulso un interesting point, and the Crow's Nest Lakes have a beauty of their own. There is an abandoned part oi the railway near tho Loop, and between Iho Loop west of that and the Arrow Lakes aro many places which would prove very uttracti*.e to tourists, and especially to tho**o who carried a cameru. Through lliis country, in tho valleys, wero fine fields for settlement, but as yet tlvy have very few inhabitants. ln his opinion, it will not always ba thus, for the fertility of the iand appeals io the agriculturist. On the subject of the relative antiquity of the higher partR ot North America, Mr. Whymper snid: "T am traveling to learn, nnd to learn about matters which are not found in books. Tho fact that a little lo tho east of Winnipeg, and thenceforward to the Fast all the way through to Halifax, the exposed rocks havo been obviously ice ground, and havo not only lieen ico ground, but have been ground by ice for Ci n- turi'S, is a matter of considerable interest. In going westward towards thn Rockies I cxyiectcd to see still moro emphatic signs of ice action. but I hnve not found anything of tho kind. There aro a number of large glaciers ln the immediate neighborhood of the Canadian Pacific Railway, but so far as I have been abl<» to observe, thoy do not present any Indications that they have over beon materially larger than thoy oro at present." Asked in regard to comparison of Canadian scenery with other places which he had visited, Mr. Whymper said: "1 do not know any other part of the world of which it ctin be said that there is not a dull milo Sn over 500 miles. My walk across tho Canadian Kockies was undertaken because I felt that it was impossible to see adequately tho beau- tiofl of this wonderful region.

Since the acquisition of Formosa by Japan at Uia clos« of iho Chinese- Japanes*.* war Japan hus controlled the camphor product uf the world. Japan, China and Formosa are the only countries in which tho camphor treu grows in profusion. 'Jhe thin* ese yi.id has never exceeded uuu.ouu pounds a year. Jupan produces about 8,000,000 annually, Tho production of Formosa is over ti.oou,- 000 pounds and would it uncurbed increase rapidly. To lake lull advantage of this situation tho Mikado's IJoveninnni four years ago declared lhe camphoi forests of Formosa to be crown land.- and mado a monopoly of lhe sale o. tho camphor taken from lh«*m. Clini*- recently both houses of the Japan ese diet passed a bill extending thai monopoly over tho whole Empire. Permits are necessary before anj one can engage iu lhe mnniifartiiii* of camphor in Formosa, but these permits are freely granted. The(!o*- ernment, however, names tho maximum amount of camphor to be produced annually, an.l .very porn I must be sold io the ('ovi-ninn-iit al a fixed price. Camphor enters largely into lh composition of celluloid and Similar products, and tho moths get awn;, with a good deal of it, but the chic: cause of tho great demand for it at present is its use in tho manufacture of smokeless powder. However, the monopoly and tho increasing demand are not entirely responsible for the high retail price. Tho dangoroi.s character of tne work of gathering camphor, and lit" consequent need of costly military protection of the camphor camps, is u large clement in tho regulation of prices. Tho eust coa*.t of lhe island ol Formosa has been inhabited iron THE LATE MRS. HOPPER. An Oehewa l.mlr Uli.i Ureal lu the Ureal Age cf Four Venn Over a Cen.ur.. Mrs. Hichard Hopper, who died ln Oshawa on Nov. 21, ut ihe age of 103 yeara and eight months, was probably the oldest resident of Canada. She retained her reason, hearing and sight up to tho tlmu of hor dtalh and exercised her senses with u keenness and intellicr-nco that were nothing short of remarkable. Mrs. Hopper was born on "Mutch 25th, 18u0, in Devonshire, England, and when she was six years of age all England colebruted the great victory of Lord Nelson at Trafalgar. Sho remembered, and never tir«l of telling, how ihe bluffs all along the Pritish Channel sparkled with the bonfires in honor of the occasion. She was u BRANCH OF THK CAMMIult TURK. an unknown timo by savages of the most bloodthirsty and treacherous sort. It has been the great dread of sailors, for one shipwrecked tliere, if he escaped the sea, was sure to lio murdered by the natives, who wore on the constant lookout for loot. Tho camphor forests are located in the mountains back of tho east coast, ond it is among thi*se wild devils that the gum gatherers have to work. They an*, sent up into Iho mountains, pitch their camps and gather camphor with one hand while they hold a gun in thc other. Though their wits aro sharpened by the ever present danger, whole parties of them aro sometimes slaughtered. The savages aro very dark and go about nearly naked, 'ihey aro urm.-d with bows and arrows, knives and swords nnd not Infrequent]}* with rifles. 'ihey nro as crafty as the North American Indians. 'J hough armed guards stand over the men whilo tliey are foiling tho trees and getting out the guin, they may bo at tacked at any moment unless the savages consider tho force too largo for them to overcome. Tho task of transporting the gum to the plains is even more dangerous than lhat of callccting it. The paths aro narrow, and tho carriers cannot present a broad front to tho enemy. A strong escort, front, and roar, beating the bushes and srrub for savages who may be lurking thorp, is always essential to safety. As a preliminary step tho Government has detailed l,,r>o0 soldiers to guard I lio camphor camps aud convoy the carriers. If this i.s not enough the Oovernment will send a larger force to Formosa, for it means to put lhe camphor business on a safe basis, whatever the cost. The camphor tree looks something liko a linden, lt grows to great ago and si/o if left alone. A tree centuries old antl fifty feet in diameter is not remarkable, llut to get out tho gum it is necessary lo kill the treo. Every part of it, including tho leaves, contains its share of camphor. The first process is to reduce tlio tree to chips, which ore put into iron vessels having C0I10 shape rovers lined with rice straw. Tho vessels nro then heated unlil tho camphor i.s volatilised, The vapor condenses on tho straw- lining of lha vessels' covers ami is Bcrapod oil in tho shape of tiny lumps of camphor. | Theso lumps ore i*r*Iin.xl and pressed into blocks nnd aro then ready for j shipment. j The Oovernment hns lately intro-j tlucetl an advanced system of foros- try in the interests of the camphor trade, and now ior every tree cut down unother must bo plenti-d. | Violation of this rulo means the re- I vocation of tho manufacturer's permit.

If you want money, you should go to work and earn it." The boy remained thoughtful for same time. Tben within u few days the mother perceived that Willie bad plenty of pennies. She wondered a bit where he got tbem, but did not question blm. But one summer day she noticed that some sort of a hullabaloo was golug on In the back yard. Looking out, she saw Willie surrounded by n mob of boys wbo were yelling with delight Sbe went dowu into the yard to see wbat was going on, nnd us she passed out she saw stuck up on tbe back wall of the bouse tbls notice, quite neatly "printed" out witb a pencil: WII.LIB JONl'3 WILL EAT 1 sraall cret-n worm l..r 1 cent t large green worm for 2 ca-nti 1 imi.ll iu:'.i*i worm for 8 c-cnti 1 large fuzzy worm for 6 cents 1 small gTern toad for £5 cents Willie wns apparently doing a thriving business.

C. tCjJBCL^ FRIDAY, JANUARY 22nd, 1904. JCU1TOHIAI. IKOri'IMlS. Hon. H. R. Emmerson has been taken into the Dominion cabinet us min- istor of railways. Hon. Mr. Brodeur, late speaker in the commons, has boon taken into the Dominion cabinet as minister of inland revenue. Where does Temploman get off at! An effort will lie made by the government to wind up the business of the legislature and prorogue by the end of the month, boing much sooner than expected. ' The -Slocan riding must wiggle along this year on a government appropriation of $15000 for its roads and trails. rt"i8 better than Nelson or Rossland, .however, for they were given* nothing. W. A. Gidliher, the Grit M. P. for Kootenay, thinks so much of the Slocan country tbat he has never obtained a single dollar of a government grant for it since he .was elected, although other sections of the constituency have been systematically cultivated. It is time for a.change, Duncan Ross, of Greenwood, has secured the Liberal nomination in the Dominion constituency of Yale-Cariboo. A superior system of wire-pulling secured him the position over a more popular and able man, Denis Murphy, of Ashcroft. Conservatives should have uo difficulty in defeating Ross. British Columbia's credit is not quite so bad as the pessimists would have one believe. The $1,000,000 worth of 5 per cent bonds, authorized under the new Treasury Debenture Act, were all absorbed by three insurance companies at par, no commission being paid. It is quite evident Tory rule has not been so very damaging. British Columbia has been securing au unusual amount of attention of late from prominent mining journals in the United States and Great Britain. The last two years have been most depressing to the mining industry and capital drifted away to Africa.Mexico, and elsewhere. Now there appears to be a disposition to consider the merits of the resources of the province again, and it is believed a better state of things is in store for the country. It has beeu anxiously awaited, and the wonder is that the rich and varied resources of the various camps have not attracted attention of the investing public and held it secure. ^^^^ Laurier has funked and will hold another session of parliament liefore 'appealing to the people.the Dominion house being called to assemble on the 10th of March. One reason for the change iii the programme is thut tin' Grand Trunk Pacific scheme has fallen flat, and is proving a heavy drag on the Liberal party. Another reason is that Clifford Sifton, who has been practically dead for six months, has suddenly come to life and urged a delay in the elections. He has discovered public opinion In the west to be decidedly anti-Grit, and he wants time to get his Doukhobor and other "foreign friends on the voters' list, so as to enable his party to make some sort of a race. Delay is proving dangerous to the Grits, while Tory stock is going up. Brond-Mladed Headier*.
