Von Berg's method of separating and determining zi.nc in ores, line dust, etc., is as follows: The ore is dissolvbd in hynrochloric and nitric acids, evaporated with.sulphuric acid, and dilute sulphuric acid added, filtered, and washed with the same acid; to the filtrate ammonia is added almost to a neutral point, then ammonium carbonate until a permanent precipitate is obtained; this precipitate is dissolved in sulphuric acid, ammonium chlorace- tate and chloracetic acid are now added, the zinc precipitated by hydrogen sulphide and filtered, the w. shed sulphide is dissolved In hydrochloric acid and bromine, the zinc being* precipitated with sodium carbonate, and weighed as the 'oxide. If iron, manganese or copper should be precipitat- .ed,=they_ar.e^determi_____n^uW_acJed= from the weifhed oxide. *; The Dannernora iron mines of Sweden have been in continuous operation for over 300 years. They produce the finest iron ore known, the ore consisting of 86 to 90 per cent, magnetic oxide of iron and 7 to 12 per cent, sili ca with traces of manganese, lime, magnesia and alumina, the earthy matters being in proper proportion to form a fusible slag without further addition, lt is practically free of sulphur ancl phosphorus. The mines extend under a lake and much damage has been caused by the water breaking through. Over 2,000,000 tons of high grade ore have been taken from these mines. Warning to the Public.

IS NOW EIGHT HOURS Difficulty Between Men and Managers Settled BY MUTUAL CONCESSIONS The Eight Hour Day Is Now in Force at Both Smelters. Both the Greenwood and Boundary Falls smelters have been closed since January 1. It was arranged some time ago that the eight hour day should be introduced at both smelters oh that date. The wage scales posted by the managers of the companies did not suit the men and they did not go to work. Since then there have been several conferences between Messrs. McAllister and Keffer, representing the B. C. Copper Company, Messrs. Drummond and Thomas, representing the Dominion Copper Company, and a committee representing the Western Federation of Miners. These negotiations were carried on in the most friendly way, but unfortunately no final decision has been arrived at at the time of * writing^ The difficult points to adjust are those connected the industry where there are differences between the plants at'the local smelters and those of smelters where the eight-hour day has been introduced without friction.. The greatest difference is in connection with the sampling works. It is understood the men want the old wage scale for eight hours work. The management holds that it is a physical impossibility to do the work required in that time, and that they can not afford to put on an extra shift. They are quite willing to concede to the demands of the men as soon as such improvements are made as will make the change possible without additional heavy expense. As a prolonged dispute would involve the mines shipping to the smelters and would result in business stagnation, there is the greatest anxiety felt and the strong hope expressed that the-difficulties can be satisfactorily adjusted at an early date. This is practically the first serious labor trouble in the Boundary. The working men are not unreasonable, they are officered by men of sound judgment, and as the companies are extremely anxious not to disturb the c'or- dial-rclations-whichheretof ore-existed, the outlook for an early settlement is therefore very bright. Yesterday evening, after a prolonged consultation with the men, the managers of the smelters conceded the eight-hour shift. There were of course slight concessions made by the men before this settlement was arrived at. Both smeltees wereagain started this morning. This, it is to be hoped, settles for all time the hours of labor in the smelters of the Boundary., It will also do away with the necessity for legislative.enactment on thr eight-hour question. Both managers and men are to be congratulated upon lhe sensible manner in which the difficulty was settled. Particulars of the agreement are not to hand, but as there was a large attendance of members of the union, and the terms were fully discussed, the agreement will no doubt prove a permanent one. AN AWFUL ACCIDENT George Alexiene Gets His Foot Caught in Stirrup���Dragged for 18 Hours FairviKw, Dec. 2_.���An awful accident occurred at lucameep, an Indian settlement near here, on Christmas eve. The particulars are as follows: Alexiene, a middle-aged man, left his home on Sunday at 9 in the morning and started for Incameep, distant about eight miles. He arrived at a friend's house about noon and ate dinner. At 1 o'clock he got on his horse and started down the road, presumably to visit other friends. This was the last seen of the man alive At the investigation it was learned that his saddle turned and his foot became fastened in the stirrup. The horse started for home, dragging the unfortunate man over a romrh country. Nobody saw the accident, but from traces of blood in the snow, which scarcely covers the ground, it appears that the horse, after following the road for three miles, took to the mountains and wandered aiound all night, dragging- the victim. A papoose, on Christmas norn, while going to church, about 10 o'clock saw the animal running along a fence, shying and kicking. He followed the horse and on catching7up .' saw the body of a'man horribly, mutilated. He hurriedly went to a ranch _, near by and got help. They cornered' the horse and cut the cinch loose. The unfortnnate was so badly broken1 * up that he was scarcely recognizable: * His clothes were torn from' his body and all that remained on him was a pair of shoes. Oriel-half his head was ground off from being dragged over rocks and frozen greund and all his' flesh was torn away from the bones. " The deceased kept a stopping house and stable on the Camp McKinney,. wagon road in the early freighting days. He was considered one of the best riders in the country .and for a long period cared for the large bunch of thoroughbred horses owned by the late Judge Haynes of Osoyoos. THE YORK LOAN CO. the Liquidator Issues a Circular to Shareholders. As a-number of local people are in-, terested in the York County Loan and Savings company, the following cii-7 cular f rom the liquidator is published for their information: " In order that shareholders of the , York County Loan and Savings coni- pany may have an authoritative statement as to the present position of affairs the liquidator begs: to make the following report: "The liquidator finds upon the books * of the company a substantial body of assets, which, are...being.Listed, .enquired into and valued as rapidly as possible, and which consist mainly of cash on hand, collections still cue from the company's collectors, mortgages, stocks and bonds and house property; also a very large; tract of vacant land in the City of Toronto, which is well situated and will be sold in such a manner as in the opinion of the court will produce the best results. "The liquidator will not be able for many months to give even an approximate estimate of the return to shareholders, but at the present moment and pending-further enquiry the estate promises to realize a very substantial sum, "The company's liabilities, except to shareholders, are apparently incon siderable, but wiinSe^definiteTy ascer-- tained by the usual advertisement for creditors in due course. "It is the liquidator's earnest desire that shareholders should not be put to any expense in the presentation of their claims. Shareholders will, therefore, send their receipt books to the liquidator, 243 Roncesvalles ave., Toronto, and receipts for same will be mailed to them. The books and cor* espondence afFectincr the claims will be filed and in due course each claim will be dealt with in the course of the liquidator'senquiry. Where the amount shown due by the receipt book is verified by the books of the company the liquidator will report the claim to the couat for approval, and notify the" shareholder. Where there is any difference the liquidator will coinmuiii*' cate with 'the shareholder and adjust the amount due in order that the claim may be reported to the court for approval and a contest avoided. " Shareholders may rest assured that they will have ample opportunity of making whatever representation they- desire, but owing to the great number of these interested the libui- dator is at present forced to file im- ���answered ull letters with respect to shareholders' claims. These, however, will be dealt 'with and answered at the proper time. "In order that the shareholders may be kept advised of the progress of the lqiuidation, the liquidator will supply all available particulars lo the press from time to time.

There are today abundant opportunities to advance its interests. Its Board of Trade should be resuscitated and its citizens banded together in its best in- tackle terests, should seriously all those problems on whose proper solution depends its future welfare. trict in Canada, as well as a number of views pleasing, to look upon. This edition'is well worth the purchase price to those interested in the Boundary and even to those who should have a greater knowledge of the mining possibilities of the province. . mmssmnmm^fi^^ The. discussions incidental to the settlement of the scale of wages at the local smelter foran eight-hour day developed a line . of argument which should have the serious consideration of all business men and others interested in the city. The cost of living has always to be considered,in arriving.at a fair basis of remuneration, for services rendered. Some of the men wiho have been working hard foreleyen or thirteen hours daily stated that notwithstanding the most rigid ���: economy they, were not able 7to do more than provide for their families on wages ranging from $3.50 to $4.00 per' "day for seven days.a week,, and that consequently a less,rate ,pf wages even for, shorter hours would.; spell deficits for them unless the cost of; living was reduced. The statement was made that board could not be secured here for less than $31 per month while,at Trail, under similar conditions, $25 per month was the highest price paid by laboring men. for board. This in itself is a difference of ,20 cents . a day which means much, when more than a thousand men are interested. The statement was also made that local stores charged more for the necessaries of life, for clothing ; in fact that everything that went to make up the aggregate cost of living was higher: than, at points in British Colum- biawhere mining, and* smelting is being carried on under more favorable economic conditions. We do not propose to discuss the : truth of these statements, but we do know that while that ���feeling is^abroad-atnong-the-work-; ing men and their employers it is " a menace to the best interests of the city. I is also, a self evident fact that if low grade mining in the Boundary is to become the success it ought to be, everything that improperly increases the cost of production and treatment must be removed. It is the duty of the citizens of Greenwood to seriously consider these matters. The hope of the city lies in the sympathetic interests of the producers of wealth in the welfare of the town. . We cannot afford that the men should continue to believe that they are not getting a square deal from the business men of Greenwood. The inevitable result would be 0 co-operative stores and a centralization of all business around the big mining companies, a condition most detrimental to the best interests of the city. The cost of living in Greenwood should not be higher than at Trail or Rossland or Nelson. If it is higher the sooner the people get together in an earnest effort to remedy the grievance complained of the better for Greenwood and its citizens. The Boundary Creek Times has stated the fact again and again that if Greenwood is to become a town of importance it cannot be left to grow just as Topsy did, Our irrepressiblepremier, whom the Toronto Telegram cruel ly describes as one who looks like forty and talks like twenty-one, has at last been muzzled. The cautious Cotton, the taciturn Tat- low and the phlegmatic Fulton got together and lassooed the curley headed Dick immediately upon his arrival in Victoria. The next morning the official organ of the government in double- leaded lines stated that the premier hadn't done it and never said it.. There was no railway policy and the newspaper reporter who gave Mr. McBride's exact words was mistakea. All of which is very interesting and very gratifying. While '. the trusty three areTtp be;; congratulated on' having, temporarily tamed the premier, there is always danger that he will not remain lassooed: and like his counterpart.'.- Buster Brown," he:may. break into some new mischief.- The fever situation at Phoenix is improving.

Greenwood should come to the assistance of her nearest neighbor. A vote by the city council granting financial aid would doubtless be appreciated. The opportunity to reciprocate unfortunately may come some day. The Victoria Colonist is needlessly alarmed over the fact that Mr. Robert Kelly visited Victoria during the meeting of .

Now that the holiday season is over the people will naturally turn their attention to municipal affairs. Nomination takes place the-third Monday in January arid election, if any, the following Thursday. At least the Municipal Act says, so, but the Municipal Act of the/present day is a fearful piece of blundering and gives every evidence of having had the most careful attention from Hon. Charles Wilson, attorney-general. Under the act it is mandatory for the new,council to hold its first meeting at least one week before it is elected! However since the present attorney-general began advising the government, freak legislation is so common that it is no longer a matter of surprise. We have received from the presses of the Colonist Printing and Publishing Company, Victoria, "Mother Earth's Treasure Vaults," by Percy F. Godenrath. It contains a number of interesting aH^icl^^descriptive~~of "lhe" Boundary, Southern Okanagan, the Similkameen and Nicola. They are written in Godenrath's well known breezy style. The book is interesting from cover to cover. The views are excellent and in many instances . are different from any heretofore published. " Mother Earth's Treasure Vaults" reflects the greatest credit on the author and also on the publishers, as typographically it is a thing of beauty.

The installation of a new system of waterworks, insuring a supply of pure water, is in itselt an inestimable boon to the city.

He .will return to the high school at Vancouver next week. The first carnival of the season will be held at the Greenwood skating rink Tuesday, January 16. Some very handsome prizes are being offered, and the affair promises to be a huge success, as more interest is being shown this year at the rink than for several years past. There are no new developments in the Midway & Vernon difficulty. No definite news has been received from New York by those locally interested, as to whether the indebtedness of the company will be paid, or work resumed on the road. No doubt it requires time to arrange all the details of financing the difficulties of the comparip, so it is not probable that any very great activity will be apparent at least until spring. The first carload of ore from the Rambler, on the West Fork, is being havled to Midway tor shipment to the smelter, Three carloads have been mined this season. The ore will aver-" age in the neighborhood of .$200 per ton in silver and lead. . ��� ��� . The net earnings of Fraser & Chalmers, Limited, in England, for the year ending June 30,1905, were $144,- 610, and $443,010 was brought forward. The directors intimate that competi tion for trade in South A fri ci lias been keen, and for the first >ix months of the fiscal year the demandfor heavy machinery was small. In the last six months business showed some improvement. A final dividend '.'of 4 per cent, is proposed, making 12 per cent, for the year, and leaving $431,695 to be carried forward.

In 1904 coal cost in Alaska from $8 to $30 per ton, according to point of consumption, the-lower figure being obtained-in the southeastern territory, and the higher quotation on the north shore of'the Seward".peninsula. At Nome when mining is active coal costs from $15 to $25 per ton; but during the closed'season it of ten sells at $30 to $40 per ton. Besides, the small production of lignite, Alaska imports annually over-123,000 totis of coal. Steel pens were invented in 1803 by an Englishman. When first marketed they sold at $2.50 each and in sourse of ten years they had fallenjto from 10 to 12centsi each.1 Steel'pens today are mostly made by' machinery, though the finer grades need considerable of hand labor in finishing. In their manufacture sheets of steel 6xl8incees are cut into narrow strips, in breadth rather more ��� or ��� less than .twice - the length of the pen. These are annealed and rolled to a required thickness. The strips then are.passed where by means of a bed and pnnchcorrespond- ingy.pieces the shape of thepen, called blanks,- ate quickly, cut out. The firm's name is then stamped upon the bit of metal. The blanks are then pierced, which is cutting out,by punch the central hole in the nib, and here also the lateral 'slits, are cut. The metal having.become so hard because of rolling and stamping that it is again annealed. The blanks, merely flat bits of steel, are passed to a raising press where they are made concave by being pressed into a g-rove by a sinker. The next process is hardening which is accomplished by heating the pens to a" red heat in an iron box j>r muffle and then' plunging in oil. After this*tempering follows and they are then scoured and cleaned by im- mirsion/in soda7water7and dilute sul phuric acid successively, and by friction with sand and other solid materials. The outside.of the nib is then ground upon emery wheels. Next is the most delicate operation of cutting the central split, upon the accuracy '-of which the real value'of the pen exists. After this the pen is placed lengthwise on a chisel fixed in theVbed.of a hand press. A decending lever 'carries; an. other chisel which passes down just clearing the7other with the greatest accuracy. The pens are then colored brown or blue by heating in a ae.volv- ing metal cylinder over a charcoal stove, and removing them when';; the desired tint is attained; They are then varnished by lac dissolved in naptha.', dried by heat and are then ^eady: for boxing iand market. Birmingham; Eng., is the center of pen manufacture and there an:output of .20,000,000, pens a week is carried on the year around. Such is the consumption of pens in the Uni.te.d_ Stata'.cs. that it .isles'imated' that -every inhabitant uses on ; the average of four pens a year. C on siderable of these pens ��� are of American make. A ton of steel will ma.e 300,000 pens.. In a year, 5.000 tons; of steel is manuf actuaed into pens in all theiworldy There are a number of electrical properties of minerals, like sulphur, the diamond and topaz, become rather strongly electric when rubbed, as with a piece of silk, and show by this- their power of attracting light substances, such as bits of straw or paper. Again, the crystals of some minerals, when carefully heated or cooled, become electrified and show opposite kinds of electricity in different parts, as at the two extremities; this is particularly true of tourmaline. When both ends of a tourmaline crystal are developed it is common to find them different in their crystalline faces. This dissimilarity of structure in the opposite directions of the axis is connected with the property of becoming dissimilarly electrified by change of temperature'. Lubricating petroleum ot the'finest grade is found in native condition gen erally in the higher strata of the -pro' ductive series at shallow depths; it is often associated with more or le'sssalt water, and usually range, from732 to 34 degrees Bautne. It is not affected so far as its fluidity is concerned at a temperature of zero or below,i arid it commands the highest price of any variety of natural petroleum.

Muntz's metal is .n alloy of three parts of copper and two parts of zinc. It differs from common brass in being malleable when hot. Muntz's metal is usually known as yellow metal.

The music was good and all the arrangements perfect. An excellent supper was served by Mr. Thos. Walsh of the Kootenay hotel.' While people naturally do not expect the best service on a new line, still some improvements might be made on the Great Northern between Marcus and Midway. The only coach for passengers is about as diriy as it can be. It has also the unique feature of having only one lavatory. Considering the heavy traffic between these two points, some effort should be" made to accommodate the traveling public H, B. Munroe, formerly of Greenwood, is now in the new mining field in New Ontario. Writing from Hari- leyburg, he says: "I am here to look at'some property for American people. Of all the'holes for whiskey drinking this is the worst I ever se.w. I met Lennie, who used to be at Carmi. He is looking after the Earle interests and is doing the only good mining in the camp. He got a piece of silver out the other day which weighed 300 pounds��� a nice nugget. They have over five cars of rich silver ore in their storehouse. There is nothing like this mining district in America. The n.ining laws here suit nobody." L. D, Kean, a pioneer, of .the Boundary, was a visitor to the city this year. Mr. Kean was a member of the grm of Holbrook, Kean & Co., operat ing in Myers Creek. He went to.the Canadian Northwest, where he has struck oil. He now makes Winnipeg his "headquarters: He "represents the Rocky Mountain'Development Com pany. This was the pioneer oil company operating in the Northwest oil fields. Under the direction of John Lineham, it began prospecting four years ago, and today they have a fully equipped plant, with a flow of 300 barrels a da)'.
