Parks, the noted mineralogist and mine geologist, has con eluded his examination of tbo Arling* ton and Bpeoulator properties and, upon ln'3 re-commendation, the com- pjiiiifs*, acting in concert,will proceed with tho erection of large works for the treatment of their ores. Once established, the mill will treat the contents of the vein entire, to/jether wilh all the existing dumps, In examining the properties Prof. Parks treated them ai3 one,characterizing tlu- vein as thn Arlington fissure and classing it as the foremost silver mine he knew of In the dry ores. Jnst prior to his leaving the eity, the Professor very kindly submitted to a little cross examination as to his visit here, detailing his experience in these words: 'For iho past month I have been i making a critical examination of the combined Arlington and Speculator I properties. They possess a largo fis j sure, very highly mineralized, which runs through the entire property for practically a distance of two miles. Up to the present time only the high grade ores that could stand the charges of haulage, freight, and smelter treatment h.i ve been shipped. Associated with these ores, however, there is a very large tonnage of workable ores thst have cither been I aft in place in the mine, used as fill in,: in the stupes,or tho excess placed on a separate portion of thc dumps as nu asset. I examined the property with a view to determining tin* ore reserves and probable futures,-and to make a critical examination of the mineral constituents nf the ore, and | duteruiino whether these lower tirade ores could not be^jeoitoinic*ill\ treat- esl on the ground. 1 ht*"ve *5>Bli> to tlie conclusion that, with acombina tion mill, ombracing procos es in winch I have had successful practien] experience, such ens can be economically treated; ar.d, owing to thu largo proportion of them in the vein. tlis returns ii valuable metal from them will appear as a large factor in tlio profits derived from this great ore deposit. "This method of treatment thai I have proposed and recommended will very materially reduce the cos: of min ing compared with tho preseni method of minin!,' for high grade ores icily, during which is necessitated the breaking down and c iring for a certain portion of lower grade ores In these dry ore mines silver is the principal uietal sought for, while in properties i.i ether camps, such as Butte and the upper Slocan, silver Is ^ bve-product, as it ia associated moro or less with other metals. The Arlington Assure contains bodies ol the highest grade variety of I-'i'ei bltrgite that I have ever met with in my 22 years of practical experience in all pans of the world, much of it going 15,100oz in silver to tho ton, Freiburgito, named after tin- town of Freiburg, in Germany, is a silver- bearing variety efgrey copper. "At the present time in the mine there are ia ;i, Is reached by any trail or road that runs into the Town. Do not go past its door when you are dry, weary or hungry. A. E. TEETER, Proprietor. re reserves of nre, wnuc a vary hands nuo asset is possessed In the l.iw grade ores on the several damps. The property is cap.ibis* of thu production of ore In largo quantities f*>r many years tn come. 1 do not hcsl'ato pi say that the vein will be productive of a good grade of erei for a I in*1 time in the future, both laterally and to a great depth." In consenting to the abovo interview Prof. Parks stated ho was not it*, the habit of making public, any feature of .i report when examining mines, but In ibis instance there were certain featuri * that the management i , of th« Arlington liicowilabi Mines' were not averse to proclaiming in the trim Interests if tlio camp. Tne com panics were close corporations ■ible. to inform the management within a very few cents just, what the. actual cost of treatment of the ore by the mill would be. He believed, though, that the result would be sueh that the whole vein could bo success- fully treated at a profit, If large hoilies ofthe high grade article were encountered, then tbe management might find It advisable to ship that clement as it was, otherwise everything would be treated. The Professor hinted that hauling by wagons from the mine would be largely dis* pounted, as the product of the mill would go fur ward in the shape of bullion. With tho adoption of Prof. Parks' report., the management Will proceed wiih the establishment ol tbo mill, in tht* construction and operation of which manv men will he employed, while the force atthe mine itself will he largely increased. In places the Arlington vein is 40 feet wide and the ta-k of taking out the mineral will give employment to a much larger crew than has yet done sor vice ht thc mine. Prof! Parks' visit will work a mighty benefit to this see1 ion. J. Frank Collom, manager of the Arlington-Speculator, told the Nelson News that tho process to bo installed at the mine is known as the lVllatin Glorissey, and was one of the earliest known for treatment of dry ores, but wis only used in a laboratory, and not beiug found satisfactory at the time oi'its discovery the patent was allowed to lapse. Since then the cyanide and electrical treatments, of which it is a combination, luve been no greatly improved that the sys cm is revolution!*! -tl. About n year ago a property with very similar ore to that ofthe Ar ington, was purchased by Dr. Sendryx at Prescott, Arizona. This property had been left unwork* id,as it was found impossible to treat the ore al a prolit Prof. Parks, wins wm fi miliar with the process mentioned, believed that it would bo fniKul possible by m-ans of it to successfully treat tho Arizona are, and under his supervision it. was installed and run fur two months, and since has been carried on under other ln.inag. ni'- nt with gratifyingbucc«sj. The idea ofthe system is 11 take a dry pre and put it through a crusher, creating "ll the s*ims-s possible, which •ire t'ien run over n Wllfley tnble Tht-n tn king ono ten of lhaconcen tratcs to twenty ions of the slimes. tho whole is placed in vats, wi h a weak cyanide solution. Amalgamating plates are placed at the bottom. With a negative polo at the bottom and a pneiiivo pole In paddles to stir uie mixture up, the gold, silver.copper and a little leas! are precipitated. I*ltat product is thi u retorted «t the mine into base bullion and is ready for shipment to a refinery direct,thus I doing away with shipping and smelt ing charges. In the year that the system has been in use at Prescott 91 per cent of the values have been saved In the ores treated. To fully test their ore, the Arling* ttn will ship a carload toprcseott, to be treated by the mill, and if successful an experimental plant will be installed at, the mine. At present no! nro under .'10 ounces can bo handled. Hauling lo the railway C08ts$3per ton to which must be added freight | and smelting charge'1, necessitating only the high grade ore being mined. At the smelter only 80 per cent ofthe lead and 91 per cent of tho Bilver values are returned. Undor the new process the charges will not exceed 12.60 per ton and, as the product will be shipped In the way of bullion, the saving In freight and mielter charges will be great. If proven a success the process will revolutionize mining ■ii this camp the surface iand mixed with quartz. A sample of the rock sent in Salt Lake City for assay gave rel urns of 865.70 OZ In silver and 7.3-19 n in gold. The silver is worth $18(150 antl the. gold .fl 115.08, or a total of $888.48. OH* ON THE LIST. I'rtsvinilal Voters Must IlKglstor by Msin- sluy Next. Those who are not enrolled on the t'xisting provincial voters' lists had better attend to tho matter at once, as the lists close on the 29th. As the list will also be. the basis for compiling that for the Dominion, it is essential that thei'O should be no delay iu availing one's self of the rights of the franchise. After .Mondav nest the voters'lists will be elosetl.-and no name can be placed thereon i-.xce.pt. those whose applications have been received prior to mat date, and also excepting transfers. All names ou the old list will stand, bur additions must be in before tho date named. Objections must be made within 12 davs ofthe closing of the list to nny person, and the notice ofthe objection must he posted pr lult with the person objected to not less than six clear days before the time fixed for lhe healing of such claim or objection. Notices must bo accompanied with the sum of $1 for each vote objected to, to be returned if the objection is allowed; to lie forfeited to the crown if disallowed. There is no change as regards transfers, and all transfers will be received up to the day of the holding ofthe next court of revision. It is absolutely essential, therefore, that nil tht*se who are not on the voters' list at the present time in order to obtain a vote must sec that their application is handed into the Colleo tor. Attention is also directed to the fact that all applications received offer September 2? will be accepted : after the holding of that court, but] can only be dealt with at the court of revision, which will be held in the month of Mav, 1903. Should there In- a dissolution of the house, however, in the meantime, theso lists will be cancelled and every person will havo to register.

"But you are no farmer. 1 don't tblnk you know tbe difference between timothy and clover." "Oh, you don't? Perhaps I don't know n barn door from a bumblebees' nest? You are always ready for a fling of some sort" "But how should you know anything about farming?" she protested. "How should 1 know peas from beans? However, I wasn't thinking of going Into farming. I've got something better than breaking my back at the plow. Have you any idea what can be done with a poultry farm of fifty acres? Oo you know that sueh a farm would make a Bothschild of a man ln a few years, and with very little work on his part? Mrs. Bowser, a fortune awalta us." "That ls good news, but let me bear the details. You propose to buy a farm of about fifty acres und ruise chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys?" 'That's lt. ami Standard OH dividends won't be iu it It'll take most or my time to count up the profits. Here's tbe idea: I start in with 1,000 hens, 500 ducks, COO geese untl 200 turkeys. The natural Increase ut the end of tbe year should give us 3.000 liens, 1.000 ducks, 1.000 geese and 760 turkeys. This Is figuring out ull losses.

Topson was naturally lnzy. The boys claim he was born thus, lie wns not altogether "a good fellow," though no •ne seemed to have might to say against him. He wus reserved, luni little to say and nlways did his work well, though he did take much longer ta accomplish It than uuy of his colleagues. Tbe telephone in the elty editor's room rang. In a few minutes that Individual walked Into the reporters' room, looked around quickly ami caught sight of the figure of Topson, the only Idle man In tbe room. "Topsoe!" be culled, then hesitated a moment. Tbe elty editor wanted some good work accomplishes!. He wanted lt quick, and Topson wns anything but quick. However, he continued: "Go over to No. 1 und report to Fox. He will be In the detective department Oot a murder story. See whnt it Is worth.

A Couple of tut* Celebrals-d Come, alms's I'm. il,.„| Jul.,,. Many stories nre told of Sothorn'*- original methods of entertaining hjs friends at dinner, and possibly the most amusing Is that of the beluted guest. When, late ln the dinner, thu frleud was anuouueed, Mr. Rothern ex. claimed, "Let us ull bide under the table," and down they all Went save Mr. Sothern himself, who remained seated. When the tardy guest entered Mr. Sothern rose und received blm with exquisite courtesy, saying, "Winn your nume wns anuouueed, my guests for some unaccountable reason, all hia under the table." After u few moments of discomfort one by one they crept out nnd buck to their Bunts. I heard from both Mr. Sothern nnd Mrs. Vincent this account of an outburst of fun at a dinner given by him In his parlor nt the Bevere House: As tho guests, ten In number, were gathered about the open lire before dinner a stout, pompous waiter, afflicted with short breath, addesl tbe last touches to his dinner tnble, nlretidy spread. Ten large, square plcfes of bread were plnced wltb mathematical precision one at each plate, und then he left the room to bring the wine. Mr. Botbern saw his opportunity mid, s'ulllng \,u dog, cried: "Tiger, the brenil! Quick, Tiger!" Aud the nimble little gray- hound hounded lightly upon the table iigaln and again as he beurd his master's Imperative "Fetch the breud!" until each piece had been removed to a durk corner near the fire. I'pon the winter's return all was silence. The expectant look upon Mr. Sot hern's face showed only that dinner was awaited. Standing for a moment, bewildered, tbe waiter, seeing no bread upon tbe table, hesitatingly turned to the door, tben retraced his steps to tbe table, examined It eurs'fully nnd hurriedly left tbe room. He soon re- uppcared with a fresh plate of bread, und again nt each plnte a piece wus carefully placed, and he retired with tlie empty plnte. "Quick. Tiger! Fetch It again! More breud! More breud!" And once more each piece was removed before the grave wnlter reappeared, ami all were ugalu silent. One look nt the table and one ut the guests, and there remained no doubt Those poor, hungry actors hail eaten lt! With a look of contempt be an* nouueed dlnuer, ami after ull were safely seated nt the table he brought u third plute of brcasl uml wltb a fork placed It, with u gesture of scorn, piece by piece for each person anil for the host. The merry scene soou disarmed his hostility, nnd before the evening wns over the breud i:i the corner was revealed.—Mrs. Lucy Derby Fuller In Century. Mens Ies and Amnionln. A Detroit woman who labors nmong the poor children of the city was telling her experiences.

Personal UzpsrUno* Wlil.li Contains Some (lood Advlcsfor Ollserss wiioutt Llvea May bs Threatened. Lovett, Out., Sept. 15.—(Special)- Every mnn, woman and child for miles iiround knows Mr. C. U. Harries, the goniul post-muster at Lovett. Mr. Hurries is a hale old gentleman, 7.-, yeurs of age, and considering his advanced years is remarkably well preserved, utrong and hoalthy. But he was not always so. Five or six yeurs ago he was at the point of doath, being fearfully run down and a complete wreck with Bright's 1'is- euse. He wus so low that no one ever dreamt that he could pull through, and yet he is alive and well to-day. This is u .statement of the case In Mr. Harries' own words : "In 18117 1 was at the point of death with Bright's Disease, and wub a complete wreck. 1 could not even dress myself or turn ln my bed, but now I am a well man. and I Attribute it ull to Dodd's Kidney Pills. "1 um 75 years old, and for a man of niy yenrs I feel quite strong nnd healthy. I consider Dodd's Kidney Fills a good medicine to take in the Spring, as I have found it a great blood purilier. "As postmaster 1 come in contact with a great many people, and I know of my personal knowledge that a great many in this country are using Dodd'a Kidney Pills with the best results." Such evidence should be most coning to any one who may still doubt that Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure Bright's Disease. The Imncst, earnest, straightforward testimony of such reputable people certainly deserves the confidence of everyone. If Dodd's Kidney Pills can and do cure Ilrigiit's Disease, which is the very worst form of Kidney Trouble, they certainly will cure any of the 1 essei forms.

A provincial convention of the So cialists has been called ut Vancouver on October 3. Four parties will have then arranged their programmes fer the next provincial elections. For the year ending Juno 30 the surplus of the Intercolonial Railway was 590,000. The outlook for the road is yery bright, as business is steadily increasing. Government ownership is proving a success even in Canada. On Monday next, September 29, the various provincial voters' lists close, in accordance with the Provincial Elections Act Amendment Act of last session. No new names will he accepted by tho collectors after that date, though transfers may be made. Thoso desirous of participating in the festivities ofthe next legislative elections must needs get a bustle on, or they will be placed on the Indian list. All is not happy with the ministers comprising the Dominion cabinet and it looks as it dissension would spread to the rank and file of the Liberal party and cause a dangerous split. It all comes about through J. Israel Tarte's pronounced proclivities tow- ards an increased protective tariff. Hon. Mr. Sifton Ii:t3 informed the agriculturists of tho west that Mr. "Tarte's protective ambitions will not be allowed to prevail, and the Toronto Globe—the chief exponent of Liberal thought in Canada—has condemned the energetic man from Quebec and attempts to read him out of the party. Mr. Tarte returns the compliments with interest and lias managed to get his fellow-ministers into a nasty tangle. In a speech 'made a few days ago at Orillia, Mr. ' Tarte accused Hon. Mr. Fielding as the author of the ideas of increased protection and that lie was but endorsing his confrere's suggestions. And so the fun goes on, all ot whieh mightily pleases the Conservatives and increases Mr. Whitney's chances of landing the premiership of Ontario. Well-wishers of the camp and interested claim-holders will rejoice at tho encouraging words of Professor Parks, found In another column. That he bas successfully solved tin* qooitlon of treatment or the ores of the Arlington lissure is beyond question,, and by next year will be established large works for extracting the mineral. In Itself tbe establishment ofthe mill will giro employment to many men and ensure a larger force at the mine. But it is in Prof. Parks' brave words of the calibre and con ditlonof our leading mine that one finds the most satisfaction, he classing the property as of tho highest stand ing, with largo reserves of ore, and capable of extensive production for many years to come, The Professor's opinion is encouraging in that it dis poses for all time of tho idea that the dry ere belt has no future. It estab lishes the merits of the camp beyond reproach and, in tho assured profits lor the Arlington Speculator, places the seal of prosperity on this section. Other companies operating hero will be led to adopt a similar process to that proposed at the Arlington, and so the great low. grade deposits of the camp may be utilized to swell the receipts obtained from the high grade shipments. Prof. Parks speak! as one who knows and his opinions carry weight. DRILL POINTS. A full line of trunks and valises, ut Arnot's. A sitting ofthe supreme court will be held at Nelson on Oct. 1. Geo.
