IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT BRING IT TO A PRACTICAL WATCHMAKER. OUR SPECIALTY IS WATCH REPAIRING. ��UR la_0RK IS G^ARAKTEBB From the metropolis of the Boundary to the metropolis of the Okanagan the journey by stage and rail is replete with interest, at this season of the year. The hills grown green by the warmth of spring,- the bloom of fruit trees, the murmur of the smaller and the rush.of the larger streams, the distant mountains here ancl there still white, unite to make a combination pleasing to the eye aud soothing to the senses. The V. V. & E. toils slowly from Midway to Molson, against a heavy, grade, and beyond Molson with a much heavier g'rade with it the train must needs let itself carefully down from Anarchist mountain to the valley of the Okanagan. From Sidley's to Oroville as the crow Hies is a distance of about eight miles. The stage road lengthens it out to about 14 miles, while the V. V. & F. runs it up to 25 miles,- because a fall of 3300 feet must be discounted, and so loops, and curves and circles, triumphs of engineering skill, are necessary to enable a train to negotiate the drop. Midway, to ' the writer's eye, possesses ��� the highest charm of natural beauty along the route, surpassing the park-like \"district beyond Molson, or- the-lake aud- foot-hill beauty.of Oroville. It is ten at night when Oroville is reached but the town is wide awake. Excellent hotel accommodations especially for so new-born a town await the traveller, who finds he is among a people confident of themselves, their town and their country. The citizen of Oroville who does not grow enthusiastic over his town was certainly in hiding last Sunday. The man who goes to Oroville expecting to find it a large edition of what Ferry was is doomed to disappointment. The buildings are substantial; the places of business well lighted, and although, church buildings appear as yet to be unbuilt, law and order: are characteristic of the place. :_ Ho..places .of ���.l.o_ud���_and. vulgar amusement are to be found and^public gambling is strictly forbidden. * Of course the . saloons do a thriving business but everything appears to be on the square, and public officials are believed to be unbribable. The town is beautifully located on the peninsula at the junction of the Similkameen with the Okanagan, and at the foot of Osoyoos lake, a beautiful sheet of water. The foot-hills all about the town are dotted with farms, while farther back, and farther down river the ranges are roamed by cattle aud sheep. Lots in town and farm lands in the valley are held at a high figure, and are selling. The newer town\" about a half mile north of the older is the scene of about all the present development, but if the wind blows there much as it did last Sunday afternoon we don't see how the new can hold its own, for^it was certainly, travelling south in the dust storm'at a great .rate. In a few days the place will be electric lighted. The wires are all connected up with the plant at the falls of the Similkameen six miles up river, and the current is to be turned on this week. Y/e met quite a number of former Greenwood people in Oroville and all seem to be doing well. Some\" of them, and many of the citizens who have never seen Greenwood are coming over to help celebrate the 24th aud if they return home as well impressed with the cordiality of our people as we were with tbat of theirs, they certainly will give Greenwood a boost among the dwellers of the sage-brush and cactus belt. BASE BALL AT OROVILLE The Greenwood, nine put-up a fine game of .ball at Oroville last Sunday, although playing under very adverse conditions. The grounds were very soft and sandy, and the Oroville boys who had both spiked shoes and a spiked umpire took the Greenwood boys at disadvantage. The Nighthawk pitcher, on the Oroville team, arid the Riverside catcher made a fine battery. The Greenwood boys were the admiration of the crowd not only by their game but by their genteel bearing never once kicking on decisions that everybody but the umpire admitted were rotten. The Oroville boys and the citizens without exception showed the Greenwood boys the highest type of hospitality and the learn, joined by a large contingent, is coming over h<:re on the 4th. OLD PLACER MINING Its Prospects of an Early Revival IN BRITISH COLUMBIA According to Horace F- Evans Who Has Been Studying the Provincial Situation. In the Mining World appears an article from the pen of Horace j tents of the entire ground. The washing of Rock Creek gravels in 1S61-2 \\va_ carried on continuously for a period yarying- from three to six days according to the richness of the material worked, when .the water was shut off and the contents of the sluice collected. These comprised two kinds: (1) fluid amalgam from which the gold was obtained by filtering through buckskin and the ignition of the solid alloy of the remaining gold and mercury and auriferous black \"sand which was concentrated from magnetite in the usual way. It has been estimated by a competent authority that the earnings of the 300 placer miners who worked on Rock Creek between September, 1861, and September, 1862, amouuted to an average of S6.S0 for every man that worked or a total per day for the whole force of SI,950 or $585,00 for the year.

They arc bringing in lots of Americans from the irrigated states, who are buying land, and they hope for a larger increase in'the near future. There is one thing that is particularly attractive to Americans, that is that they they have a guarantee of water from the governm.n.. In the United States questions of water rights arises and a man who buys land often buys a lawsuit. In the Calgary district when a man buys land he has a government guarantee that he vvill be always supplied with water at 50 cents an acre. _____ _ NEW CUSTOMS OFFICE Mr. J. S.

A CONFERENCE The representatives of tho Boundary mining concerns -who recently went to New York presumably to consult with their superiors over the wage question in the district have arranged with representatives of the miners to meet them in conference next Mon.ay. There is good ground for the hope that after the question is fully threshed out, some fair ground of compromise may may be found and the industry proceed on terms equitable as wellto those who have embarked t'leir money as to those who invest their labor.

As some of his references deal with matters with which our readers are familiar we subjoin several quotations: Although complete data are not available for a connected history of this branch of the mineral industry some interesting information on the subject has been obtained by personal investigation, which 1 propose to present briefly for the information of the readers of The Mining World. The record of placer mining in British Columbia is one of great interest and importance since it comprises territory from the Wild Horse, in East Kootenay, to Rock' aud Boundary creeks, thence along the Similkameen to Granite creek and the Tulameen, thence to the Fraser aud Cariboo and to later familiar and interesting fields. As there is a lingering impression that a revival of placer mining in British Columbia is one of the signs of the timeB, and as a number of well informed persons connected with the mineral industry are of the opinion that this may happen at any time, it is desirable that information in relation to early placer mining iu the province should be revised and presented even if only in a disconnected way, as mining history, like political history often repeats itself. \" \"��� The creeks intimately associated with my subjects will be selected for the present. These are Rock and Boundary. The first named has its source in the neighborhood of Camp McKinney, a few miles west of the west fork of Kettle river and about the same distance north of the international boundary a little west of the 119th meridian. This creek flows into the west fork of the Kettle near the old mining town of Rock Creek. Boundary creek has its source in the neighborhood of Greenwood and after taking a wide detour empties into the main Kettle river near Midway. At Rock Creek in September, 1861, about 300 miners were at work in the bed of the creek and they continued working in the gravel for about a year, when in consequence of reported richer diggings north the force scattered aud left for other \"diggings,\" which was the term used in those days. The ground worked was the gravel filling the stream; the greatest thickness was estimated to be about 16 ft. with an average\"breaath^bf^S^fetT^TE very\" placer miner was allowed 10. ft. following the bed of the stream, the breadth being the breadth of the valley. Three or four adjacent claims were usually worked as one enterprise by the co-operation of the owners. The stream was usually deserted to one side for the purpose of getting at the gold bearing ground, and a sluice was made of boards in a rectangular form and put in an inclined positiod on rough stone abutments and a stream of water was constantly maintained. The gravel extracted from the bed of the creek was thrown on a rough grating made of pine slats and placed about 2 in. apart. The floor of the since was lmed with pine wood gratings placed longitudinally. The gold and other heavy materials fell into the hollows between the gratings, where they were protected from the wash of the current passing over them. It- some instances boards with shallow transverse notches and the laiter being filled with mercury were used in addition to and alternately with the gratings. This arrangement was known as the Hungarian ri'lle. For the purpose of getting out all the gravel it was necessary to establish a system of drainage as the hole deepened. This was accomplished by installing a small undershot wheel in the free current of the exit water of the sluce, which raised the water from a sump at the lower end of the claini by the agency of a chain of buckets. The sluces were usually put up at a higher elevation than was the practice in European mines of that day, as the chief end was to obtain a rapid current and, therefore, power to work over large quantities of gravel, ate value of SI,170,000 wns collected in the sluices of Rock Creek in .1861-2, but half of it was lost in the process of washing. At Boundary creek, about 7 miles east of Rock creek, placer mining began a., little, later, but it was abandoned about the same time that Rock creek placers were deserted, due.to the rvsh to Caribco and Oregon fields.

THE LEROI BOSDEJ) A McKinney Property to the Front. A VERY UNIQUE AFFAIR James Copeland Has Bonded His Property to Practical Men. Who , Will Work it. Spain rejoices iu the possession of a baby heir to the crown. The etiquette of the court has been scrupulously observed and the new-born babe has passed through hands enough to guarantee the event. John Walker and associates of the Victoiia- Harbor 'Lumber -cdmpariyv have -bought out the business- of the John Cook company, whose mills are at Spragge, 90 miles west of Sudbury. The price for the limits and riiills was S2,000,000. For many years! James Cope- laud has been working for the Leroi, a copper property in McKinney, and now he has made arrangements to let the Leroi work a while for him. He has bonded his claim to Messrs. Bailey, McKay and Patterson, three practical miners of Phoenix. The consideration of the bond is $30,000 on which $300 in cash were paid. The bondholders moreover agree, to pay Cope- laud a bonus of $100 a month during the life of the bond. The bond is to run for two years, with the provision however that if at any time prior to its expiry the purchasers desire they may put up the price and save the monthly bouus to Copeland. The Leroi has had considerable work done on it, has a gcod* showing of ore, and man 7 people have sought to buy or bond it. But Copeland has held firm through very discouraging years, years when' everything in the camp was shut down, and now has made a deal along lines marked put by himself.- The building of the V.V. & E, west, and across Anarchist mountain a short distance south of this property is doubtless due to the rev.iyal. which ^��eems ^imminent for McKinney. The school teachers of Oregon are undertaking to raise $50,000 to defray the expense of Peary's next voyage in search of the North Pole. A five cent subscription is to be taken up. It is kind of our neighbors to be so willing to help explore Northern Canada. The C. P.'R. which a few years ago ran a tri-weekly train on the Sicamous and Okanagin, now runs daily trains and is planning to inaugurate a train service that provides fer a daily passenger and express train and for a freight train each way daily.

Either the acoustic properties of the court house are at fault, or the tones of the lawyers too modest, or our hearing dull, or the undertone conversation in the back of the room-too common, but something is wrong, because sitting back at,a distance one cannot hear much of what is going on in court. WHY IS IT? The fare over the V.V. & E. from Midway to Oroville, 56 miles, is S2.00. Upon inquiry we learned recently that the amount was made up by charging four cents a mile on the part of the road in British Columbia, and three cents a mile on the part jn Washington. The extra cent in British Columbia, is not chargeable to international courtesy, but simply to the law which permits it. PIT! I - The Wednesday half holiday movement is making great progress iu western Canada. The merchants of Stratlicona, Alberta, have agreed to close their places of business at 12 o'clock every Wednesday from May to- September.

Clark met with an accident at ehe Mother Lode mine on Wednesday that resulted in his death at the Sisters' hospital here the same day. It appears that Clark was coming out of the tunnel when he was overtaken by some ore car's. The driver of the latter called to him to get out of the way. In attempting to do so he stepped to the right of the track instead of to the left. The'Vight'wall was only 11 inches ft 0111 'the cars', while the passage on the left is much wider. The result was that he was caught between the cars and the wall and seriously crushed. The evidence at the inquest went to show that the men are all instructed to take tlie other side of cars when passing. Cl.irk knew of the custom and of it*, nccessity but apparently forgot it iiV his hurry. He. had returned to the mine only a few days before having beeu in Uie hospital from previous injury. The corner's jury returned a verdict Thursday afternoon in accordance svith the above. No blame attaches to the company, the case being one of a class that frequently occurs wherever large number** of men are employed, aud whera men preoccupied or unthinking do une.vplaitiable things.

The banking system of Canada is generally conceded to be a superior one, on account of the security and elasticity provided. The banking custom of Canada however, is coming in for some strong criticism on the coast at present, and some of the papers are asking for the introduction there of methods that prevail to a marked degree in the United States. Our neighbors to the south have a system of local banks which are believed to be more vital to the welfare of the locality than the Canadian custom of large banks with head offices in the east aud agencies in the west. .The strictly.iocalTbank may be Its gratifying to know that the baby prince of Spain did not realize his sufferings as he was passed along from his mother's chamber through hands of sundry officials to gratify time-honored custom.

The most candid witness may be mercilessly badgered and even bullied by a lawyer and he is helpless. He mav be telling the truth and yet because he cannot explain, but must simply reply to catch questions by a lawyer, he is made to appear as either telling an untruth or holding back part part of the truch. Any man can remember facts and . events, for years back, and yet no man can place the exact date of such au event, except, under some particular circumstance or condition. Any man may remember that four or five years ago he saw James Dpe knock Richard Roe down on Copper street but he cannot place the date from memory, possibly cannot place the month or even the year. And yet when under oath he states that he certainly saw the act but cannot tell the date the opposing lawyer -will sneer at him, tell him he has a good memory for some things and a bad one for others, and intimate to him that he thinks he is lying anyway. a weak affair but it is closely indentifled with home development. With home owned capital, a home directorate and home interests, its welfare is that of the community and strictly local enterprises and local men find it more generous and more friendly than mere agencies of vastly stronger quality but hi emergency controlled by. influences out of touch with local spirit. This is where the Canadian system appears most of all to fall short. When a local enterprise most tieeds. assistance the manager of a branch, who being on the ground ought to be the best judge of the situation, finds himself compelled often to be guided entirely by the judgment of the head office. Then again the frequent change of managers in the branches west works a hardship often, for it frequently happens that just when a man comes to thoroughly know his patrons, he is called away aud a new man is called in to become acquainted with the bank's clientage, aud incidentally perhaps to tighten up the strings which control j; local affairs.

No'oase of eczema, skin disease, or ulceration, should be despaired of until Zam-Buk has been applied. The case of Mrs. Francis Renoit, of St. Anne's (Man.!, is a powerful illustration of Zatn-Buk's efficacv. He says-: \"I suffered from eczema for two years, and tried a great number of remedies. None of them, however, seemed to dome any good. The ailment was mostly in rny legs, and both these were actually raw from the knees down. A small sample box of Zam-Buk was given to me,.and even so small a quantity as that did me a little good. I then obtained a proper supply, and by the time I had used a few boxes J was completely cured.\". Zam-Buk differs from ordinary salves and embrocations in containing no animal oil or fat. It is compounded from rich, healing, herbal essences, and is an ideal natural combination of power and purity. It is highly antiseptic, and instantly kills bacilli and disease germs, which settling on to wounds and skin diseases set up festering, blood poison, etc. For cuts, burns, bruises, ulcers, abscesses, pimples, boils, skin eruption, scalp sores, spreading sores, children's skin troubles, chafing sores etc., Zam-Buk is unequalled. It also cures piles. All druggists and stores at 50c. a box, or from Zam-Buk,Co., Toronto, for price, 6 boxes for $2.50. HIS. EXPLANATION jg--l I. H.
