So many complaints have been heard from business men and others who are subscribers to the local telephone system, about the service rendered, that the Times decided to investigate matters and find out, if possible, where the fault lies, and what improvements could most easily bz made. Of the actual working\" of a telephone exchange few people have but a very in- deffinate idea. The public is, of course, most concerned about getting central and the number asked for. To obtain a prompt and satisfactory service the co operation of both subscriber and central is most necessary. A short description of the central exchange will be in order to make clear the work entailed upon those in charge. On the.switchboard a separate indicator is connected with every subscriber's line. When No. 1 calls central, a buzzing noise is heard and No. 1 indicator drops down, revealing the number of the subscriber calling. On a section below is a hole also No. 1. Into this central pushes a connecting plug and calls for the number. Having been given the number, the proper connections arc made and the bell is rung. When the conversation has been finished and the subscriber has rung off another indicator drops down and central knows the lines should be disconnected. The same applys to all the numbers from one up to the one hundred and forty odd phones now in use in the city. The position of a \"hello girl\" is by no means an enviable one. Their work demands constant attention and requires great accuracy and care. They have to listen to hundreds ef different voices, each one with its own peculiar accent, and unless numbers are spoken clearly and distinctly the position of central becomes trying indeed. That there has been in the past cause for complaint on the part of the public is not the purpose of this article to deny, but-the- investigations- had- not proceeded far when it was found that there were faults on both sides, and the ground for complaint ou the part of the public has beeu greatly lessened during the past two weeks by a change in the staff with the result HOur Prices Sell The Goods H OUR stock of staple and fane}* dry goods for spring- and summer is now complete, and we venture to say that it is the largest and most comprehensive ever shown in Greenwood.

In order to fully realize the difficulties of manipulating a telephone exchange it is necessary to visit the central office and watch the operat ors at work. When business is quiet and few calls are being made, it is a comparatively easy thing to give, a prompt service, but when a \"rush\" is on and three, four, five or six calls come in simultaneously or or in quick succession,- it is impossible- for central to answer all at once, and, of course, someone has to wait, and then trouble* begins; While connections are being made with the first calls the' last ones are getting impatient by the time their turn comes and the air at both ends is becoming blue. Subscribers can be of great assistance to central by always giving the numbers (not the'names) separately and distinctly. If 142, is wanted, say one���four���two, not one hundred and forty-two. It was learned that the work of central is greatly increased and much complicated by subscribers neglecting to ring off when a conversation is finished. This causes no end of trouble and is the greatest source of annoyance to both the subscriber who calls, the one called and to central. Unless a subscriber rings off, central has no means of knowing that a conversation is finished, and lines are often reported- \"busy\" through this neglect.; '���;������.;��� It is during a fire that \"central\" is driven to wits end, No sooner has an alarm been rung than scores of calls come pouring in, and it is then\\ ''utterly! impossible to answer them all and the efforts of \"central\" tocalLmembers of 1 he fire brigade ai e seriously interfered with. ���-.;.' \";?���;?���������' [ In conversation with the local manager, Xr. B. Hodge, it was learned that- much confusion frequently arises from' efforts to get ^central after 10 p. mi on week days and after 6 p. m.-on Sun days from the phones in the Imperial! and Windsor hotels. After those hours; these phones are directly connected with the fire hall and ringing these1 phones turns in an alarm, a thing that should always be avoided except when necessary.. .-'.. The central office is equipped with an interesting piece of mechanism, known as a calculagraph, for measuring the time consumed in long distance conversations. It is about the size of an ordinary mantel clock with a regular clock dial. When a conversation begins a time slip is placed inside the upper face and a lever pulled which stamps the correct . time ; on the slip. When the call is rung oif the time consumed is stamped on Ihe slip and is ac orrectrecord of-timeto=be~charged for.- ';���������\" ',:-'���.- ���- ; - In the course of these investigations it was learned' that subscribers can greatly assist \"central\" and secure for themselves best service by giving a strong ring when calling, and by always ringing off when through. In ringing company lines to which two or more phones are connected, 'strong rings should be given with distinct pauses between. On no account should a phone be used during a thunder storm, as it is dangerous both to the subscriber as well as the operator. While the service is not as efficient as that given in the large cities, il is equal to that of most towns, and when the improvements now undej consid ��� eration have been carried out it will be possible for the company to serve the public still better.

Bishop made application to have the the Victoria hotel license changed fiom that of a hotel to a saloon. This was granted. D. Manchester's application to have V otel license transferred from Queens hotel to the Clarandon, and a saloon license granted instead, was also passed. The license for the Pacific was transferred from the late proprietor. Madden, to the new proprietors, Greig & Morrison. The Arlington license was also transferred from the former proprietor to C. A. Dempsey, who has lately acquired the premises. THE EUREKA MINE High Grade Property to Start Work. NEW COMPANY FORMED Local Men Organize to Push Development���300,000 Shares to be Placed on the Market. Active work on the Eureka mine is sxpected to commence shortly. The Greenwood-Eureka Mining company has been formed to take charge of the mine, with a capital of $300,000, divided into shares with a par value of one dollar each. Some 200,000 shares will be placed on the market for immediate -investment and the proceeds will be used in vigorously pushing development work. Messrs. Hamlin & Wellwood are heavily interested in the new company and it is their purpose to make the Eureka one of the big producing mines of Greenwood. ( The Eureka is considered one of the very best high grade propositions iu this district, and the stock should prove a most attractive investment, especially as the first block of shares will be placed on the market at rive cennts. It adjoins the Gold Finch and thoE. P.U.' on the south, while the. Prince -Henry lies just north. It can be readily seen that.the Eureka is most favorably situated, being surrounded by mines that have demonstrated the existence of high values. Considerable develop ment work has been done already. Two tunnels have been run, one 25 feet on the Gold Finch lead and the other 50 feet on the E. P. U. lear\".: The mine is well situated for economical *- work, much of the development work being done by tunneling. The ore is rich in both gold and silver and the prospects, of the Greenwood-Eurqka Mining Company are bright. STRATHMORE ACCIDENT Charles Peterson Dies from Effete of Injuries. Another mine fatality occurred Tuesday night, about 10:30 o'clock, when Charles Peterson met with an accident in the Strathmore mine. He and his mate, David Caslquist, was working in the drift- which has been.run about fourr teen feet from the shaft, when some rock tell from the roof and struck the unfortunate man, breaking one of his arms and causing internal injuries. Peterson remained fully conscious and climbed the ladder to the top of the shaft and was carried on a stretcher to the Sisters* hospital, where he died early Wednesday morning. \" At the inquest, which was held Wednesday afternoon, Caslquist gave evidence to the effect that the roof was known to be shaky, and the foreman, H. E. Shafer, had told the men to put in supports if they considered it necessary. As they were working on night shift, and as this work is usually done by the day shift, they did not carry out the foreman's instructions, and as a consequence, the accident occurred. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. The late Mr. Peterson was respected by all who knew him, and his tragic death is deeply mourned by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn his untimely decease. The funeral will be held from his late residence Saturday at 1 o'clock. Mrs. Joan Smith of Beaverdell, is visiting in the city.

MANY RICH STRIKES Two Railways Building��� Review of McKinley and Gloucester Groups. ���Other Properties. \"With two railroads racing for Franklin camp, it is only reasonable to presume that that district is about to witness a season of unparalleled activity,\" says the Grand Forks Sun. ' \"Both the Kettle Valley line and the Great Northern have had experts in that section for a year past examining the different properties, and it is, therefore, a safe supposition to assume that the potential tonnage of the camp will pay a divir'end on the capital invested- in constructing these roads. \"Aside from the mineral resources of the district, the agricultural possibilities of the North Fork valley would warrant the construction of a railway between this cily and Franklin. The lumbering industry should also be an important item in furnishing tonnage. The Kettle Valley line has been located between Grand Forks and Franklin, ' with spurs to McKinley'and Gloucester camps. Its length from this city to Franklin will be 43 miles, with a grade of less than % of 1 per cent +o Franklin On the spurs, the grade, in one or.two/places, will be as high as \\]A per cent. There will be three bridges on the line, one at the foot of Third street, one near the Humming Bird mine, and another about 30 miles up the river. On the Great Northern the preliminary survey is now being made between this city and the Pathfinder mine, and it is expected that the road will be built that far this season. FRANKIvIN. \"Franklin townsite is beautifully situated on the west; bank of the river, 43 miles north of this city. The ground slopes gently, affording perfect drainage. Twenty-eight blocks have b-'en\", surveyed and placed on the market. The ground and streets have been cleared, and one hotel is now doing business in a tent. Lumber is now being hauled to the town for a large and modern hotel. A good wagon road is being-.rushed to the town by Road Supervisor Spraggett, who has 20 men in his employ. He is now within a mile and a half of Franklin, and expects to have it completed to that point three weeks hence. An excellent stage service is being maintained between this city and Franklin by A. Erskine Smith & Co. Up to the present time semi-weekly trips'have been made, but after this week it will run even* other day. The greatest asset of this townsite is the abundant supply of pure water. A mount'aitr^e^ir,~fio^iTfg���tlie^Wtlfe- year, runs through the northern portion of the townsite. This creek can easily be dammed 250 feet above the town, thus forming.a natural reservoir and affording.an unfailing water supply for domestic purposes and fire protection. \"A description of a few of the more important mining propositions will be of interest to our readers: v\\ THE m'kinlijy. \"The McKinley group, comprising the McKinley, Hanna and Minister, is owned by the McKiney Mines, I/tri., and was the first prooerty located in McKinley camp. It has been systematically worked for the past two years. The work done thus far consists of numerous open cuts, showing that the ledge on the surface is apparently 200 feet in width. A tunnel 220 feet in length has also been driven. ' One hundred feet from its mouth a 110-foot drift has beeu run, 70 feet being in ore. claims, is also located in Franklin camp, and is owned by the Fee brothers, of this- citj-. Very little work has been done up to the present time. A 60-foot trench, from 6 to S feet wide, exposes a large quantity of high grade copper, sulphide ore, with average values running about 5 per cent copper, S2 in gold and silver. While little can be said owing to the limited amount of work done, this looks like ona of. the bonanza copper properties of British Columbia. THE BANNER. \"The Banner mine, across the gulch from the McKinley, was one of the first properties located in the North Fork country, having been sUked in 1896. A shaft 20 feet deep is in $60 silver ore. A 200-foot tunnel, crosscntting 32 feet of $8 copper ore, has also been driven. This property is now under bond to the McKinley Mines, Ltd. A diamond drill will shortly be installed, and a great deal of development work will be done during the present summer. THE GLOtJCETER. \"This property is at present under bond to the Dominion Copper company. It has a shaft 50 feet deep, showing high grade ore. A 215-foot long tunnel has not yet reached the ore body. The Gloucester is considered one of the most promising propertic.s.in the cansip. It is owned by local men. The G. H. belongs to the Gloucester group. It has a very good surface showing of 60 per cent magnetic iron, carrying small values in copper. THEMINBRAI, Hlly-C.- \"On the Mineral Hill, opposite the Gloucester, there is-one of the largest- showings in the camp, A 200-foot long tunnel is now being driven to tap'the ore body. ���'The M. S., in Gloucester camp, is owned by A. Erskine Smith & Co. and local parties. It is looked upon as one of the most promising properties in the camp. It has a large iron cap, under which high grade copper sulphide ore has been fouhd. -Development work is at present being vigorously prosecuted. other properties: \"Claims well worthy of mention are the Shaw group, John Morrell group, the Jumbo,.I. X. L., the Dane group, the White-Bear, and the Sweezey arid Manhattan groups. There are other good properties in this district, but with the limited space at our disposal, it is impossible to enumerate them all, much less give them extended notice. v \"Recently considerable' excitement was caused by the findingof rich ore on the Copper and Riverside claims, located across the river from Fran Klin' arid owned'by Dan Morrison and Joe Gelinas and Alex Oman. In an eight- foot iron capping big chunks of 15 per centcopper ore similar to that recently found in the Maple Leaf and-M.S. were encountered, They expect to strike the ore body as soon as they get through iron capping. This portion of the camp is now being extensively prospected. \"The camp has a mineral area thir teen miles long by five miles wide.' It is impossible to give full details of the work done in this vast district during the past year. Enough has been done, however, to demonstrate that Franklin has the making of the largest and richest camp in Southern British Columbia. Mining men of ability and experience are not lacking who assert that both Rossland and Phoenix will have to look to their laurels at no distant date. \"The predominating geological formation of the district is lime, porphyry^ and conglomerate. It is difficult to understand how the camp has been overlooked so long. However, with the advent of shipping facilities, it appears almost impossible to paint th.e future of this favored section in too roseate colors. The credit for bringing this camp to the attention of capitalists, thus hastening its development, undoubtedly belongs to Geo. A. McLeod, the energetic mining promoter of this city. He has labored indefatigably for the past two years to attract foreign capital to the district, and has been eminently successful in his efforts. The establishment of a stage between this city and Franklin a few weeks ago by A. Erskine Smith & Co. has already added materially in making the camp known to Ihe outside world. \"The most conspicuous advantages of this camp are: The superior tunnel facilities, the abundance of pure water, and the almost inexhaustible timber supply. ��� \"Gloucester camp is four miles from McKinley, and Thunder Hill 25 miles northerly from the former. The latter is a high grade silver camp, and a trail will be built there this summei. It is about 20 miles westerly frow the Arrow lakes. ��� '.' . . ,-��� \"It: is estimated that.'1 here\" are over 150 men employed in the district at present.\" mines in Gwennapp, Cornwall, the air in the 220-f athom level was 100 degrees F. in 1863, but in Ji*ly, 1864, it had sunk to 83 degrees. In the 130-fathom level, then just opened, the temperature at the same date, July, 1864, was 104 degrees F. At the Due-ken field colliery in Durham, the temperature was found to increase for a depth of 20 feet down to 358^ fathoms at an average rate of 1 degree F. for each 88 feet in depth, At the Rose Bridge colliery, near Wigan, from a depth of 80^ fathoms to: 403 fathoms the average increase was at the rate of 1 degree in each 67 feet. The latter is one of the deepest mines yet worked. One of the greatest depths yet attained in Europe is at the Viviers Reunis, near Gjlly, in Belgium, where the shaft itself reaches a depth of 3,411 feet, or nearly 570 fathoms, and the bottom of a \"trial\" staple was fonnd by Mr. W. W. Smyth in 1871 to be 3,489 feet, or 581#>. fathoms. - Mining Reporter. MINERAL ACT. Cerlliii'ite of Improvement.

PROSPECTOR'S GUIDE -.��> A tiassif icatiba jinil Description of the More Common Minerals. -.,,,.',(By A.

These articles hayf-been. preparedly ���A. Harry Hook,. assayer, of Greenwood. Mr. Hook has access^tQ. extensive information on these subjects. He,is wen,,acquaipt^4: with the moire comftio^ minerals .and their commercial values', hiring been engaged., in v the., work ?6f assay ing f pr mines.smelters and custom assay offices for the,.past eight y_earsv. ,In his, examinations for the provincial assayer's certificate for British Columbia he had the jrood fortune to pass first on the lisjt, with honors. Hi\"s; articled aVei therefore, the results. of close study ana years of practical experience and will be read with interest. Any prospector who wishes to have a mineral identified can do souby leaving sample at (Times office.���[EJd? note.] It is often the case when a prospector is bat in the hills that minerals are met with, which though probably common in the field of minerblogy, yet in ceftain localities are rare, and hence pUzzle the.prospector, while in the field. . A. method of determining these minerals will sometimes save a great deal ���f; the prospector's, time and probably put him\" oh the better road to prosperity. tWith this end in vitvw, the'wnter; has: tried, from different sources of inform- &Uon, to .simplify a table of field tests of the most important minerals, which will leave no doubt as to the identity, and yet will not encumber thepros-i pecconwUhia bulky:Pi��tfit.;y,;.a ?rii_, : Too often confusion reigns as to whetheipi- for e^amplermplybdenite H' gr-aphlite? stibhite- is galena or- bis�� muthlnite, etc., etc., and^f-tbe-foHoW;- ing table will only^help ?to .clear, these occasional obstacles-uirrom; ithe:;ip,r.*'S;! pec tor's path. the. ^iter's object' will have been accomplished-;.: .?.,,i.i- iEollowingJhis.; tab.le.tM'-[?ie)Ld -tests w|ll be'given a\";series'pf 'articles on the rnpre common mineralJrTbf gold,.silver, JTcapper^lead, *>incirJ.ron��y'QiQ.kel,;.etc.> found, j$, .Canadathej(V:;values,, uses, compositions and occurrences, etc. Jin fronting out the identification of a mineral intelligently always have a fresh fracture to test on.

By holding the blowpipe just at edge of flame and a little above wick and blowing;.a horizontal flame is produced whicti has two cones. The first is the -iM.nerjdf^bliig^lp^R^^)^-!^ an ���uter cone, which is nearly invisible at the end (O. F.) - Tlie heat is most intense just beyond the point of blue flame, andthe mineral, js held at this point when its fusibility is to be tested. The outer cone (O. F.) has an oxidizing effect upon a mineral. This flame is best produced when the point of the blowpipe is inserted a very little into the flame and should be entirely non- luminous. The oxidizing effect is best obtained almost at end of the outer cone. )The inner flame (R. F.) tends to reduce a mineral (or takes away the oxygen of the mineral). This flame is best .produced when the blowpipe is Weld a little distance from the flame and should retain its yellow color on i$s uppermost edge. The reducing effect is best obtained near the end of inner cone. ���........ ' The borax bead tests are conducted as follows: Bend the end of the platinum wire into a loop, about the size of two pin heads, heat in blowpipe flame ,nd push hot wire into some borax, se and add more until the ring is filled with borax glass.

PACKING-HOUSE REVELATIONS, northern limits of the city. The suffering ones claim that young boys, and boys who are not young, spend their Sundays carelessly and indiscriminately shooting with twenty-two rifles at every wild thing in sight and sometimes they have come perilously near wounding human beings and domestic live stock. It is related that last Sunday a man was drawing a pail of water from his well when a bullet struck the frame work of the windlass, and that several bullets passed over and close to his residence, It is not alone from one resident that the complaints have been heard, but several have mentioned it and others have suffered in silence. It is not for a moment supposed that any shooting has been done with intent to harm or even to frighten, but the narrow escapes recorded are probably the result of carelessness on the part of those who choose to pass their Sundays with the gun. For this however, there is no excuse. Carelessness in handling firearms has cost many a precious life, and there is no guarantee that serious results will not arise out of the present careless shooting. The use of firearms within the city limits by anyone except a police officer, is prohibited by law, and those who have been The conditions revealed in the Chicago packing houses shock a..d disgust the whole civilized world. The irresponsibility that causes corporate enterprises to be regarded as \"'soulless,\" seems to have forced economies on ail departments at the expense of cleanliness and the common demands of health and sanitation. No man likes to give diseased, tainted or adulterated meat to his fellows to eat, but the demand of those ia financial authority for the minimizing of waste and the increase of returns from high- priced products has naturally and inevitably produced the deplorable results disclosed by the.recent investigation. ��� Carcasses that should have been thrown away were used^nd^lHSidlis^fOddrtKe substitution of inferior meats was freely practiced, and various dyes, preservatives and other deleterir ous substances were used to conceal the deceptions, while the demands of sanitation were disgracefully neglected. All these practices through which the public health has suffered were the result of the pressure for more profits. It will be most fortunate if the hurried cleaning up and spas. modic reforms that follow the exposure are regarded as satisfactory. If the public settle down into their former complacency it will be but a short time till the demand for economies and increased returns bring back the conditions now hastily changed. With the crowding of population into large industrial and commercial centers has come an absolute dependence on a few corporations for a daily food supply. In such dependence the public are j helpless, and they have lessened their chances of accidental relief by such restrictions as the protection tariff and local market regulations. The various essentials of daily food are in many cases so completely controlled by organized and affiliated corporations that the public have no resource but to. accept what is offered and pay the price demanded. Even where there is no monopolistic control it is impossible for the people in their individual capacity to protect themselves. It is as necessary for people to act in their collective capacity in, protecting themselves against unclean or dangerous food? \"'as against contagious diseases, unsafe buildings, or dangerous public conveyances,. The evils and dangers of .unclean' aud adulterated food have been fcalmly tolerated while less serious menaces have been carefully restrained. We see that steamboats are inspected, that every building erected on our streets conforms to architectural requirements of safety,- that churches, theaters and public\" halls have proper means of exit, that cellars and yards are cleaned, and that garbage is disposed of in a safe and sanitary way. But while all these necessary precautions are carefully enforced, the most important matter of all���the food supply-���is'\"leftTT:^hTi2ce\"nand\"th? greed of those controlling its distribution. This is a mistake that should be remedied at once. That Canadian cities have not suffered in'a similar way is due to accident, and not to any superiority in public supervision. We��are no holier than our neighbors, and the same conditions and same freedom from public supervision may bring the, same results here as there at any time. We must move in the matter before and not after abuses develop. With such food supplies as can be inspected by chemical analysis, the existing machinery, if put in motion and kept in motion, can afford efficient safeguards. But with regard to canned and prepared meats Chicago has learned by experience that thorough and continuous official supervision is essential to public safety. In this respect we , should profit at once by the experience of our neighbors.-���Toronto Globe.

V. & E- Midway, June 14.���Track laying- from Midway westward on the V., V. & E., which has been eag-erly looked forward to for months, has at lust commenced. The delay in starting has been caused largeiy through waiting for the completion of the long tunnel at Myeis Cteek canyon, but at the rate ���work has been proceeding for some time that will have been finished some days ago. The track laying machine is proving a great help in the work of laying the steel. \"The rate of the machine,\" says the Hedley Gazette, ' is a little better than a mile a day, but as there are several bridges that will delay the work a day or two each, it is claimed that the speed of the machine while working will more than offset the aggregate of these delays and that for the whole distance from Midway to Keremeos, the average of a mile a day will be maintained. \"The steel is Canadian made and is being supplied from the Soo works, although it is understood that the stringency of the United States tariff laws will compel the use of American 6teel for the 49 miles of the road that lies to the south side of the boundary, between Molson and the point where the railway recrosses the line into British Columbia on the Similkameen. \"The only thing in the way'of material that is,still lacking to complete through to Keremeos is that of ties for the portion west of Molson. There is a shortage of ties on this end which it is hoped will be made up by the lime that the'track reaches Molson. \"Another thing that is making therm rush the work of track laying on the - section between Midway and Molson is the fact that the contractors are kicking against the long haul in bringing outfit and supplies from Midway for work, along the Similkameen.

Commerce Commerce Expects to Be Made Divisional Point for Great Northern. Grand Forks is looking eagerly forward to becoming the divisional point for both the Great Northern and the C. P. R., and with the building of the Kettle River Valley railway, on which active construction work was started by Contractor W. P. Tierney & Co. last Monday, the Forks looks forward to becoming the leading railway center in the Boundary. The first announcement of the proposal of the Great Northern to move its divisional point from Marcus to Grand Forks was received with some degree of doubt, but the Grand Forks Sun insists that the report is true and says: \"It is stated that the determination of the Great Northern to move, its divisional point from Marcus to this city, has been found advisable by the Hill interests to extend the North Fork extension to the Franklin camp. It i stated ��imirthe~pTopoWd\"im at Grand Forks will aggregate $50,000. They will include not only a large roundhouse, machine shop and extensive yard trackage, but many minor buildings necessary to ca divisional point. It is stated that another reason for the Great Northern road in moving its division point from Marcus to Grand Forks is to mak-: it nearer half way between Spokane and Vancouver, to which point the V., V. & E. is now building from Grand Forks. Already the line is in operation from Grand Forks to Midway, and has been surveyed permanently as far west as Princeton. Construction work on that oranch is now under way, and surveying crews are at work in the fleld between Princeton to Vancouver. By July 1 it is expected that grading crews will be at work oa the extension of the Great Northern from Grand Forks to the Pathfinder mine. The work will probably be done by contractors who have either completed or are about ready to turn over to the Great Northern completed grading west of Midway.\" Unknown Friends.

Farrell of Keremeos, came in Wednesday from that place, bringii'g- iii the news of a recent strike of high | grade ore carrying- copper, gold and- silver on the Anaconda and Last Chance properties, situated near Richt- er's pass,\" says the Oroville Gazette. \"There is a .tunnel on the propeity which has been driven 65 feet on a 12- foot lead and is in ore averaging $27 to the ton for the entire distance, from portal to face. \"A party of Spokane mining men are expected in shortlv to inspect the property.with a view of purchasing it outright instead of taking a working bond, believing the property of suffic rent merit to ne-.d no further examina-- tion in.the nature of? development before closing the deal. \"The property in question has one unique advantage over many others, in that it lays between two lines of railroads, the V., V. & E. on the south, and the Canadian Pacific on the north. The former road has already commenced construction, and the latter has made surveys and expect some time to.build the road, which would greatly enhance the value of the claims tribu-. tary to both roads. \"Good accommodations can be secured at the Moyes hotel and we expect befoie long to hear some good news from that neighborhood. ' THE MERCHANTS CORNER Advices from New Westminster say that dealers and others are predicting that the strnwberry crop for the present season will not be equal to the demand, and that; the prices will be higher this year lhan has''been the case for several seasons past. The crop generally is not as heavy as usual, while the demand is greater, and it is not anticipated that the growers will lose -inything owing to the shortage of berries, for what thej* lose in quantity they will make up in price. Various reasons are assigned for^T short crop, but the principal was the severe cold snap in March when many of the blossoms were frozen, while the recent heavy rains have also tended to lessen the supply of good berries. Local berries are now being offered- for sale at local stores, and they are being received from Coquitlam, South Vancouver, Mission, Maple Ridge and other districts, but the offerings are far short of the demand. Should the weather be fine for several days, the supply -would greatly increase. r,0\\VE.R COLUMBIA FRUIT. R. M. Palmer, secretary to the Provincial Bureau of information, has returned from an extended tour of observation throngh the lower Columbia valley, in the vicinity of Windermere and Wilmer. This district, Mr. Palmer says, has a greac future before it in 'he growing ot hardy tree fruits and berries. The building of the V., V. & E railway will provide the necessary transportation facilities, and settlers are looking forward with great hope to the future. Land which was formerly devoted to feeding stock, and a small amount of mixed farming, is rapidly increasing in value, the old half and quarter section tracts being subdivided into smaller areas for fruit culture. It is especially adapted for the growing of small fruits, and as the.season is somewhat later than in other berry-raising districts, the crop wiil be reaped at a time when the Windermere and Welmer farmers \".vill practically have the market to themselves. ��� Already a good start has b��en made toward what will certainly dt velopintn a most thriving industry. Rufus A. Kimpton, formerly a merchant of Don ald and Golden, has 1,800 trees bearing, being the pioneer in the Windermere district. Mr. Palmer is quite enthusiastic over the prospects, and holds the opinion that as soon as new settlers are attracted both the places mentioned will become very thriving communities. The great drawback���want of transportation���will soon be overcome, and as there is quite a large area available for cultivation, the lower Columbia valley will, in a short time, be able to supply the markets of the Kootehays. Irrigation is possible on many of the tracts at comparatively small expense. THE COPPER AGE Twenty five years ago the United States produced 27,000 tons of copper. The production during 1905 was practically 4001000 tons, or more than half of the world's total supply. Thevalue of last year's output may be given as $160,000,000. The uses of this metal are steadily- growing. ? It is estimated that by 1920 the requirements of the world will reach 1,500,000 tons. The United States will probably hold its present placa in the mark it. New deposits are-opened from time to time? There are known districts yet undeveloped in: the western mountains, and Alaska is rich in copper, Mexico and Canada are copper countries, and send the United States ore and matte fpt; smelting, and pigs, bars and ingots for manufacture. The increasing supply of the metal promises to keep prices within reasonable bounds? while the increasing de- mi'.nd fairly assures ample profits to the owners of copper properties. No available substitute has yet been found for its use for electrical put poses, and the employment of electricity increases from year to year. The day of copper has come, and there is every reason to believe it will be a long day.���New York Sun. -.. Y CONTRACTOR AND BUILDER Dealer in Sash, Doors, Turned Work and Inside Finish, Etc, ?

As a sochil and financial undertaking the \"Mikado Festival.\" held last night in the Waliace-Miller block under the auspices of the Presbyterian church, was an eminent success. The crowded condition of the building- and the con- stquent discomfort of those who were forcjd to stand, was the result of underestimating the possibilities of the function. At all times during the evening the hall was filled to its utmost capacity and the daintily attired ladies in their kimonias had difficulty in properly serving their many guests, but they did the best they could. The refreshments were first-class, and there was a heavy run on the ice cream and strawberries. The program, though rendered under some difficulty at times, was thoroughly enjoyed by most of the large audience. Murdock McQuarrie's gaelic songs were especially popular. N. F. Kendall rendered two pleasing solos well suited to his finely modulated voice. A. M. Whiteside caught the popular fancy with his selection and Mrs. Oliver sang pleasing Southern melodies. Mr. Hopkins rendered a banjo solo in his usual good stylft and Mrs. McCutcheon's and Mrs. Oliver's piano duets were much enjoyed. Much of the success of the program was due to the skillful management and humorous ispeeches of the chairman, W.G. Gaunce. ��� With much care and display of artistic taste the ladies of the church had decorated the hall with flags of many nations including Great Britain, United States and Japan. The walls were festooned with cut paper and flags, and the tables and platform were handsomely dressed with cut flowers. The ladies are indebted to Neison friends for the flowers. Chinese lant erns were hung from the ceiling arid added their soft glow to the brilliant scene. The financial returns were well in keeping .with the success that marked the other features ol the festi- v.il and will exceed one hundred dollars net. During the early part of the evening 1 lie Citizens' band rendered several )i ie selections. Much of the success of the affair was due to the kind assistance of this excellent organization, and those in charge of the program are much indebted to the boys in uniform. gaged is not as large as the contractors would like, but men are scarce and cannot be readily secured. It is ex-, pected, however, that the difficulty will soon be overcome, as men with horses and mules are arriving from Winnipeg and Chicago. When a full working force has been secured the construction camps will stretch along the whole line of the road. The right cf way through \"W illiam Glenmore's ranch at the head of Smelter lake has been secured. W. P. Tierney, the contractor, is in Grand Forks superintending the work, and construction will be rushed with all possible speed.

The case of Hill vs. Granby Co., which was tried in Nelson last February, was finally settled this week when decision was handed down by Mr. Justice Duff. The cape arose out of the death of Vernon Hill, who was killed in the Knob Hill mine at Phoenix by striking ���his head against the mouth of No. 2 tunnel while standing on the platform of an ore car. Action was brought by deceased's parents for damages. S. S. Taylor of Nelson.was counsel for plaintiffs and A. M. Whiteside of Greenwood, for the defendant company. The defendants contended that the accident, was due solely to carelessness on the part of the unfortunate man in standing in a position which was almost certain to cause death. ' Justice T**uff took the case from the jury, dismissing the action for damages. Counsel for plaintiffs asked that compensation be assessed under the Workingmen's Compensation Act. This was opposed by Mr. Whiteside on behalf of his clients on the ground that no compensation could be granted where the accident was due solely from the \"serious neglect\" of the deceased. The decision just rendered is interesting from the fact that it is the first case in which an authoritative interpretation of the section in the act respecting a company's liability has been obtained. trays Two * swing doors with locks.

It combines a brief history of the province with short biographies of the leading professional and business men who have contributed and are contributing, largely to the upbuilding of the material prosperity of Canada's richest province. Twelve chapters are devoted to past and present history. The reader is taken back to the time when the Spanish adventurers of the sixteenth century first explored the long Pacific coast line. Among the Spanish explorers mentioned are Cortez, Pizarro and Cabrillo. Intrepid Englishmen also figure' prominently in the.early discoveries, and John Oxenham, one of the characters in Charles Kingsley's \"Westward Ho,\" iscreditedwit'tr being the-first���Briton- to sail the broad Pacific. Sir Francis Drake's expeditions also played an important part in the explorations of the North American coast line. The straits of Juan de Fuca and Georgia were first explored by a Greek pilot, Juan de Fuca, in 1692. Juan was in the employ of the Spaniards and reported the lands visited rich in gold and silver. Considerable attention is paid to the modern history of the province and the book is illustrated with half-tone engravings of leading men and typical scenes of farm, sea and mine. A number of Greenwood people appear in the list of leading provincial nieni among them being J. R. Brown, M. P. P., J. J. Caulfield. Dr. G. M. Foster, K. C, B. Frith, W. G. Gaunce, J. P. Myers Grey, W. M. Law, W. G. McMynn, Dr. S. S. Oppenheimer, George A. Rendell, Dr. Spankie, A. M. Whiteside and Robert Wood. Among public men widely known are Richard McBride, Robert G. Tatlow, Robert F. Green, J. H. Turner aud F. J. Fulton. The book is heavily bound in black leather anil presents a pleasing appearance.
