Not a week passes but demonstrates the urgent, pressing need for a hospital fund to be ��� devoted to the care and maintenance of those who are so unfor- ' tunate as to be sick or injured and are at the same time penniless. It is worse than useless to deny that there are no very poor iu our midst. They do exist���that is the exact word���in very considerable numbers trying to live out the very rigid-winter on provisions,, in many cases, altogether inadequate , for their maintenance in decent comfort and health. Already three cases of scurvy are reported from Spruce creek and doubtless there are many other cases more or less in ah incipient stage. There are also known to be several severe cases of frost bite, two men already haviug lost a part of a foot each. That there will be lots of more sickness and accidents goes without saying in an inclement section like this, and the question will \"not\" down, What provision is made, - or can be made, to meet the exigency? The matter will admit of no delay and an answer isr demanded, right uosv. What are we going t to do about it? Iii the ' sacred' name of | humanity the sick and perishing jI1CW ou must be succored, even if the well have to go hungry, but is not the burden too heavy to bear for this I poor and subscription-saddled com- \\ munity? What have sve a govern-' ment for? What have we members for? Is it to tax ��� and mulct the miners (who are the backbone of the country) within an inch of their lives, anel when they are in ill luck, sickness and distress to let them sate rebel, but also 'regret' io sa\\ that the -strain is getting nearly too much for them. Felloss'.-citizeus, the remedy is iu our own hands, lull, and pull altogether. Don't delay. Naturally, we all of us would dislike to' see our boasted Atlin in the position of a supplicant, although iu reality she would onh be asking what is well within her right; but duty is paramount to any other consideration and our duty is plain. Judging by- the tenor of the latest despatches from South Africa, low-water mark was reached 'iii General Buller's repulse at rTugela River. Since, things are beginning to look brighter all round anel the tide ot i Boer invasion has been stopped. Mafeking reports siege virtually raised. Kimberley seems well able to stanel the enemy off and has Methuen's array close at hand. General White reports confidently that he can holel Ladysmith and is in heliographic communication with Buller's relieving force. Very important too is 'the statement that dissensions exist between the Transvaalers and the Free' Staters. The appointment,,of the old war-horse, Lord Roberts\" of Caudahar to the supreme command, will be hailed with delight by every man in the British army, >for he is as popular as Buller is otherwise, and any morale the troops may have lost ou account of recent reverses will be fully restored by his advent on the scene. We think sve may confidently look for better news from the seat of svar from cents a pound. Today the cost of production and deli\\;ery is near to 6 cents per pound. Theconstantly increasing use pi copper in electric de. vices aiid appliances ,of every sort has swelled ��� the demand for thc metal svhcrever'electricity is being introduced. Since 1894 the demand has'increased 50 percent. Previous to that date there was an annual increase in production of about\" 10 per cent.1, but thence forward it has ase- raged a fraction less then 4 percent. Meanwhile\" the demand from abroad: has been constantly augmented, and since January 1,663,420 tons of copper have been exported from America. One hundred anel fifty thousand Fenians are reported to be massing on the other side of the border for the invasion of Canada. We have heard the story before.
