THE LEDGE Is located at Greenwood, B. C, and can be traced to many parts of the earth. It comes to the front every Thursday'morning, and believes that hell would close up if love ruled the world. It believes in justice to everyone ; from the man who mucks in the mine to the king who sits on the cushions of the throne. It believes that advertising is the life of trade ; and that one of the noblest works of creation is the man who'always pays the printer. The Ledge is $2.00 a year in advance, or $2.50 when not so paid. It is postage \"free to all parts of Canada, Mexico, Great Britain and the county of Bruce. To the United States it is $2.50 a year, always in advauce. R, T. LOWERY EDITOR AND FINANCIER. GREENWOOD, APRIL 3, 1913. A blue mark here indicates that your Subscription has become deceased, and that tho editor would once more like to commune with your collateral. Money that help the world. is buried does not Fioah and excitement are enemies to good digestion. When fishing for business use the live ad for bait. One bird in the oven is better than forty, in the bush. Very often the store that does not advertise is overstocked with cobwebs. Tins province may have high water this year, but no danger of towns being swept away. Very often a cold spring ends in a hot summer. This year is similar to 1894 and it was one of high water, dry weather and great forest fires. No, dear Mike, it is not necessary to pack a gun whon you go to Ottawa. All you need is a hot air backstop. Visrxal poetry is none to plentiful this year and some editors are etili lighting their fires with old exchanges. From the appalling disasters in Ohio aud other states it is apparent that nature has no regard for anything human. Alt. signs point to a bright and prosperous summer in the Boundary district. Get in early and take the high seats. The Eve-Opener says that after a brief visit to the States it is hard to believe that there are only ten commandments to be broken. When times are good prepare for tho reverse, because one follows the other in order to balance the commercial affairs of all men. The land in B. C. needs more farmers. If all people would insist upon living in cities it would not be long before we would have no rolled oats in the morning. In Greenwood the waiters all shout, \"Spokane!\" when a customer orders pork and beans. That must have been a popular dish in Spokane years ago. Perhaps it was invented in that city. Thinking Themes ous. her. name. She has just died. She was not beautiful, nor fam- You have !never heard of You never will hear her She was one of the myriad unknown who make up this world. But she was one of the family. That means as much as to say she was empress of Great Britain, to the circle of broken hearts that suffer because they shall see her; no more. We look at one another and turn away to hide our tears. Her absence at the table seems to reproach us for living on. I do not say she was superlatively good, wise or strong. She was human and we loved her. The one fact that we cannot make real is that she will never, never come back to us. Never is a dreadful word. Yet that place to which she is gone seems very near to us. Wherever, whatever it is, it is as if we could almost reach out our hand and touch it. We could not say now so weak a thing as that we believe in a future life; we know it; we are conscious of it; because we love her and she is there. It is love alone upon which the conviction of immortality feeds. Because we love, life must go on, and death is an illusion. No argument addressed to the reason could convince us; we know we are persuaded by the deep in- tinct of the heart. Etymology sometimes contains striking hints of truth. The word \"virtue\" now passes as meaning goodness or moral worth, and has a feminine flavor. Originally the Latin \"virtus\" meant manly strength, and was a kin to the word \"vir', or \"man.\" And the buried and half-forgotten truth that lies here is that the determining ingredient of goodness is power.. There is no virtue in weakness. Whatever is feeble is immoral. If we say a weak woman is good it is because we think confusedly and do not express exactly what we mean; for what we really have in mind is that the woman, though weak in body, and possibly in intelligence, is strong in soul. It is not at all her weakness, it is her strength we wish to commend. Goodness is never feeble, never contemptible. It is the toughest, hardest, most forceful thing in man. Kindness is stronger than cruelty, love than hate, self-sacrifice than self-seeking, truth than lies. All real morality, if you think clearly, you will see to be nothing but the highest form of human force. Virtue is \"virtus,\" inner, masterly strength.���������Dr. Frank Crane. every twenty-four. Everyone knows this, but many seem to be defying Father Time at his game, until a halt is called and they are forced to learn that they can accomplish more by reason of stronger nerves, grunted by the proper amount of sleep. Our cities are filled with tired eyes and faded complexions from-a lack of sleep. Society women consume' their nights in social pleasures and their days in the duties incumbent upon their position,, and wonder why they fado. The farmer's wife works all day and half of tho night, arising at daylight, unrested and unrofresiled, and wonders why she ages before hor husband. * * :!*��������� Youth, strength and beauty are absolutely dependent upon these eight hours from the twenty-four of each day and you have but sixteen hours of real life to score on your age. No matter what happens, sleep, should be and must bo taken. Wear as light weight garments as possible. See also that they are loose. Do not sleep upon featheis; a hair mattress is best. Have no pillow. Sleep between sheets and under light but warm covering. Do not place your bed directly in a draft, but have a window open in the room; fresh air is necessary at night as well as in the day. Sleep alone and without a light, assume a comfortable position, then imagine the bed rising up to your body, fairly pushing it. That is relaxation. Relaxation of body and mind is simply letting go. Thus you should sleep and rest awakening refreshed and rejuvenated. ___mmmm Remember: Every unconscious hour spent in nature's sleep is just that much deducted from your age.���������Lillian Russell. The Socialists Sleep For Beauty Closing the eyes in rest is of the utmost importance in the search for good looks. There are no means so productive or preserving of a pleasing appearance or a calm mind as proper and sufficient sleep. Nothing will prompt the brightness and vivacity of youth like the suspended consciousness which nature demands eight hours out of If perchance a socialistic form of government were put into effect that natural discontent of man placed in uneventful conditions, with no hope of rising beyond the dead level of humanity, would result, among the vqry large majority, ir. creating unrest and discontent, and there would soon be violent outbreaks and revolutions, which, in time, would put an end to Socialism. It is not man's nature to be contented with a cur- rentless and tame conditions of affairs. The Socialists declares that all nations are in a hopeless condition and that nothing will save them but Socialism. Still look at the people of this continent, ior instance, and wo find millions of happy people who are in good, or fairly good circumstances. The children of laborers aro better fed, better housed, better dressed and have more opportunities for education than did the sons and daughters of kings three hundred years ago. While it is- true that there are a considerable number of poor, their cases are not so numerous or their condition so hopeless as our socialistic friends would have us believe. Never in the history of the world were peoplo generally in a more prosperous condition than they are in Canada, and particularly in British Columbia today. Intelligent and broad plans are being put into force to benefit the general condition of mankind in the shape of annuities for old age, insurance against sickness, insurance against loss of work, workmen's compensations acts and other acts calculated to improve conditions. Never in the history of mankind have the rights of individuals obtained higher recognition nor reached the importance that thoy have today.

Man is the creator of them and hence none of the institutions that he creates is greater or more perfect than he is. It has been said that man is always to bo blessed, but never is\" blessed. Man's condition today is better than it has been since our first parents were turned out of the Garden of Eden to earn their daily bread by the sweat of their brow. We are certain that the Socialists, even if placed in the seats of the mighty, would be total- the all-wise Creator, wo cannot J ly unable to improve on present conditions.

The d--yv- wns giddy May, and the Invited young Lorena, moreover, owned all the folly ��������� normal to nineteen. So altogether it would have been a miracle if things had gone exactly as they should. A proper young woman' of '.course would have reckoned chances before baring. her feet and dancing joyously In midstream, where the pebbles' lay smoothly bedded In fine sand and gleaming jewel-wise wherever a sun ray struck through the ripples. Lorena did not let herself remember that the ford was but Qfty yards higher up or that tins' special shallow reach of the creek lay between the two lakes that gave the Guest Ashing. Thoy were not true lakes,',of course���������only water mirrors, still ancl deep, Impounded! by dams of tlio .winter flood's building. Lorena did uot love them. ��������� They were so placid they reminded her somehow of Johnny, and whatever did, that put her out of temper. Sho loved glitter, motion, excitement It was ecstasy to her to dance all day long'and half the night after, footing it as'lightly .as wind blown thistle seed. If only she could dance alone! But since that was out of Hie question she naturally preferred partners who kept step and were nimble. Johnny was neither, yet all the time she had been engaged to hlni he had felt it his right to say if she did not dance with him she must dance with hardly anybody else.. ��������� , And not at all with Granville Gore, the very prince of partners, who was handsome and slender and light hearted, with money In both pockets and a trick of spending It with both hands. Johnny hated him, without reason so far as Lorena could see���������at least he gave her no reason���������only said, \"If you are goin' ever to belong to me, Lolie, you must be barely civil to that fellow.\" Somehow the emphasis on the last word always made Lorena shiver when she recalled it. How could she help it when Johnny was toward other folk the soul of kindly justice? Still she had felt that he was unfair. If he really new anything he.might let her know It likewise. If Johnny could have brought himself to tell her the break might not have come. But he was too proud :iud masterful for that. His wife must believe in tiim enough to understand that he had reasons for any and ovary 'thing. Besides, he was afraid of seeming envious and jealous of a man so much richer and better looking. .Moreover, he \"did not really know much that could be told categorically. It was Gore's general air and manner, conjoined to words dropped here and there, that made Johnny certain he had no real reverence for anything feminine. A girl, any girl.'was fair game to him. If she hadn't sense enough to look out for herself he wa3 not bound to look out for her. Yet Gore was not distinctly vicious���������rather, inordinately vain. He did not mean worse by womankind and girlkind than to make love to them, then ride away. Marry! Not he���������not the finest girl alive! If Lorena had known that! Unknowing it, she had thought a great many times and a great many things of the fascinating Granville in'the three months since the break. He had been away for two of them, and since he came home she had seen him only in crowds. But he had used his eyes so eloquently as to set her heart wildly fluttering. But, oddly enough, it had fluttered* even more when by chance sho, had encountered Johnny in his working clothes, driving his wagon to the mill. They had barely nodded to each other, and she had ridden fast afterward, but not fast enough to get away from a sense that Johnny, old Johnny, although his face was impassive, had' turned to look after her as long as she was in sight Today she was not thinking of hlm- hardly even of Granville. Wading wit* such pure joy. The water came abov������ her ankles. ��������� She lifted her skirts lightly in both hands and balanced to her shadow upon the rippling stream, succ a funny shadow, dancing grotesquely even when she stood still. Rapt In contemplation of it, she dirt not hear footsteps or anything until a throaty, chuckling voice cried: \"Oh. hoi A mermaldl Gore, If the variety Is Indigenous, understand, I shall settlo In your neighborhood just as soon an I can buy a place.\" Lorena flushed scarlet ' She let fail her skirts, heedless of water���������heedless, indeed, of anything but escape. There were men on either bank; also one in wading approaching her midstream. Gore was the farthest of thera-a (iore she had never seen. He looked her over as though she were a part, a curious part, of the landscape with which bo had no sort of acquaintance. It was the man In wading who bad spoken. He was striding on toward her, his rod over his shoulder, a broad grin upon his flat, red faco. Her suu- bonnet, her faded print frock, above all her present case, had nearly made him believe her some hoydenish milkmaid rather than mermaid. \"Didn't I tell you fellows tho finest fish were hero in the shallows?\" he bellowed at the men on the bank. \"Never yet mado such a catch,\" he added, making to fllngvan arm about Lorena's waist She evaded him, springing to one side and trying to gain the bank, but the sportsmen there set up a laughing shout which warned her not to trust them. Desperately she fled upstream, cutting her feet on sharp stones, but never faltering. It was not easy to run against the current���������tho rock bottom was slippery In places and hen wet skirt hamper6d her terribly. Still she kept out of reach until she\" was twenty yards off the ford, Tha flat faced man, laughing and panting after her, caught her there and said aa he gave her a resounding kiss: \"'Pon my soul, Undine, it was worth it I haven't had such a lark since I was a boy.\" ' ' Lorena broke from him, crying wildly: \"Granville! Mr. Gore! Kill thie creature!\" At that the men laughed louder than ever. Granville,had discreetly disappeared. He was sorry for Lorena; also angry with her, even angrier than with his friend of the flat, red face* There were millions back of the fiat, red face���������millions that might mean much to Gore's future. Was he to rlslc their help, to invite everlasting chaff, to make himself the butt of the grill rooms next time he was in town, by championship of a girl, a silly country girl, who should have known better than to put herself In such case? Mullen, he of the flat, red face, was- not a bad sort, only full of uncouth) spirits. Lorena would come to no-! harm. And if she had sense enough to' keep, hor mouth shut he (Gore) would see to it that she was handsomely made up to for her present fright. But of course he could not acknowledge' her as an acquaintance whon she looked such a guy and had let herself get caught in such a plight. ��������� Lorena, noting his absence, stumbled blindly toward tho bank and half fell upon it, covering her eyes with both hands. Mullen scrambled out beside her and tried to lift her to her feet, tho rest jeering him, pretending to say tilings aside and singing in cracked chorus, \"Where is my .wandering boy?\" They were laughing so loud, watching so intently, Johnny fell upon them like, a thunderbolt from blue skies. Johnny was still in working clothes. He had, in fact, started to the blacksmith's shop in a mad hurry in hope of getting a dulled plow point sharpened. So he had come to the ford in the very nick of time to see that a woman was in need of help and to rush, to give it. \"Gentlemen\"���������Johnny's voice cut like ice���������\"you must show me your warrant for taking a prisoner. Unless you do\"���������' He stopped short there, his face white, his eyes two points of flame. Even ye* he did not know, but a second later Lorena was beside him, clinging to bim, burying' her face in his rough sleeve and sobbing out: \"Johnny, save me! Take me away! Don't stop to fight them���������only take me and go!\" \"Not yet,\" Johnny said, putting her gently away. ' The events of the next five minutes are better left unchronicled. Suffice it that Mr. Granville Gore and his sportsmen friends from the city went away on the night train, at least two of the visitors carrying beautiful black eyes. As to how the eyes had been achieved there was discreet silence, but when in the fall Lorena and Johnny were married there came to the bride a chest of massive silver, along with an unsigned note which ran: \"Please accept this in token of forgiveness. Remember, you owe me something���������in that I gave you occasion to find out the difference there is between a man and a mouse.\" Lorena was for sending it back, but Johnny laughed and said: \"Mullen is right He is a man. You can drub a man into decency, but a mouse always runs away.\" \"And I hate mice of every sort\" Lo- rer-a added with a pensive smile.

MINING NEWS I o 0 00<*K>00000000<>0000000000 The Erie mine, one of the best- known properties of tho district, is to resume development immediately. E. L. Kinman, the principal owner, came in on \"Wednesday and immediately made the necessary arrangements, letting a contract to Harris Bros. & Mullan for 440 feet of work, including a crosscut tunnel. Duke Harris and Jack Mullan, the latter of whom will have immediate charge of the work, have engaged men for three shifts, and ground will be broken on Monday. In the meantime, the big ore dump is being sorted nnd sacked, and two cars will be shipped next week, the first leaving on Monday. The ore, at present metal prices, will run ������170.00 gross. The freight rate of SG.40 to Prince Rupert is considered much too high, and Mr. Kinman is making an aggressive fight for a fairer schedule. It is believed tho railway company will reduce the rate. Mr. Kinman has received treatment quotations from the Tacoma smelter which will greatly interest Onii of tho finest pieces of native silver over brought to town, camo in on Monday from tho TJuica. It was brought down by Jean Bro- chier, the shift boss at tho big 12- Mile property. Tho piece is about fourteen inches in length and of irregular size, tho streak having about the thickness of a fifty cent piece. It was taken out of a big strike of three feot and a half of galena in the big or wost load. The property is looking exceptionally fine in all directions, according to Mr. Brochier. Tho continuation of the southern drift on the east vein has opened up another ore shoot which now averages about three inches in width and as the ore on this property appears to run in and out in long regular shoots, an increase of this ore body is looked for as the drift progresses. Hughie Chisholm, of Chisholm Brothers, who have a lease on the apex workings of the TJtica, was also in town the early part of the week. They are taking out ore on their lease right along and sending it down by their tram..to the base of the peak, where it will be transferred to other conveyances for forwarding to the railway.��������� Kaslo Kootenain. THE OLD DAYS silver-lead miners, marking as they do, a considerable reduction in smelting rates. For ores carrying less'than 35 per cent, lead the new rate is So; 35 to 40 per cent, ores will be treated for $4; 40 to 45 per cent., $3; 45 to 50 per cent., 82; 50 to GO per cent, 81, with no treatment charge on ores carrying In an interview in the Vancouver Province, Mr. J. Cumming, of the 150 Mile House, on the days of the real \"Old Cariboo\" he tolls some interesting history of the days of the gold discoveries: \"In the year 1SG2\" he said, \"I obtained employment from the Cariboo Company, which held some claims on William's Creek. ���������Cariboo Cameron' held one claim in his own name, his wife held another, and I held one for Cameron in my name, so that out of seven claims Cameron controlled three. I worked tho claim I held for him and at the end of five months, when ho was going to Victoria, paid over to him the results of my total wash-ups,, which amounted ���������-0 per cent. Tho former fiat rate to a frac*icm less than $100,000. was 88 a ton. The freight rate from Hazelton to Tacoma is at present $9.50, and settlements are on New York quotations at time of receiving ore. The zinc penalty has been reduced from 50 to 30 cents per unit over 8 per cent. All of which means that the smelter is anxious to obtain lead ores. ���������Hazelton Miner. Investigating the ore possibilities of this district, in the interests of the Granby company, E. E. Campbell is spending a few days here. Mr. Cameron's wife died in the fall of the year, and no sooner was her death known than the claim held in her name was staked by nearly a thousand men. There was a real forest of stakes, and I think that if they were all put together would have measured a good fat cord of wood. \"Cameron entered suit in the Supreme Court against these jumpers, and when it was tried before Judge Begbie, a decision was given in his favor, with costs, which were heavy. The judge gave the The Official Tests show Dr. Price's Baking Powder to be most efficient in strength, of highest purity and healthtatoess AIP9, No Phosphate of Lime jumpers a good dressing down. As I had said before, Cameron left Cariboo for Victoria, taking his wife's body with him. Thero he had it immersed in alcohol, to preserve it, as he was going to take it back east by 'way of tho Isthmus for burial near her former homo. ��������� \"When in Victoria Cameron purchased another Williams Ci-eek claim from the Clendennings, and also two side claims from tho same brothers. Then he returned to Barkerville, but in eight month's ho left again, this time for good. As ho now owned five of tho seven claims in the company, he was waiting for the result of a few months' wash- up to pay his expenses.' \"Yon can form some idea of the richness of the claim I held for him, when I tell you one day ho came to mo and said: 'dimming, I wish you would get me two good pans of dirt, one I wish to send to my sister, and tlio other to Mrs. Wattie. I took a pan and went into tho claim I was working for him and washed two pans of dirt. I found thirty-two ounces in one and thirty-six in the other. Of course I knew tho claim was rich, bnt those pans of dirt was got from a thin streak of dirt which ran through the claim, about four feot from bed rock. You can take a candlestick in your hand and walk in front of the streak and pick out the gold. Wattie was in charge of the company's interests that year. \"At last, at the end of eight mouths, clean-up 'Cariboo Cameron' quit us for good. It took just eight pack mules to carry away his gold dust. The consignment went to the coast under a guard well-known to Cameron, and they were well rewarded for their services. When Cameron left Wattie took charge. He was a native of Valleyfield, Lower Canada, as it was then known. Ho worked the claims for one year, when I took charge. \"When Cameron left the claims were just opened up, and far more gold was taken out after ho left. Tho dust taken out after Wattie took charge was divided between himself and a Mr. Steele, who subsequently went into cattle raising, and shortly afterwards died. I worked the claims until wo closed down in 1SSG. Wattie, who went east in the following year after Cameron, came out a few years ago to report for some Montreal shareholders on Hobson's claim at Bullion. \"A number of young men who owned claims above the Canyon where poor Dutch Bill was working, washed all the gravel on their claims, eight feet in depth, until they struck a thick clay bottom. Then they stopped and went up to Antler, where they made nothing. After throwing up their claims on William's creek, the ones with the clay bottom, I mean, a gambler named Abbot said to one of the boys: 'Come and we'll sink through the clay and see whether we can find anything there.' They did so, and struck pay dirtatouce, going 3100 to the pan, and sometimes higher. He sent- back to Antler and got the boys down who had abandoned it and paid themj good wages to work for him. \"Just below these claims was tho Canyon, through which the waters of William's creek ran. This claim was taken by Dutch Bill, who discovered William's Creek, and after who it was named. But unfortunate for Bill his claim was worthless. Down what was supposed to.be the old channel of William's creek, were several claims such as Black Jack, Diller and the Canadian Company. The last company paid high���������it was rich. One claim gavo to ono pick, and a windlass, 102 lbs. in one day. This was tho Diller. Conkin Gulch also paid big. Tho Ericson Co., with four picks gavo 1,700 ounces in a twenty-four hours wash. The Caledonian on Williams creek gave $16 to the pan. Dutch Bill didn't make much but ho was a good prospector. THE FIRST CASE Under the Provincial Liquor Amendment Act, passed during last session, Chief Roche has, in all probability, scored the first conviction, and Rosio Tratnor, keeper of a disorderly houso on Government street has perhaps the distinction of being the first prisoner to be' sent to Kamloops for infringing section 95, subsection 1, clause A of tho act. She was sentenced by Magistrate Guernsey, on Monday, to six months, without the option of a fine, for keeping a \"blind pig.\" The appearance of the place aroused the suspicions of Chief Constable Roche and Constable Smith on their first visit and a thorough search of the premises took place, with the result that a cache was found under the floor of tho pantry which contained 187 bottles of port wine, three bottles of Champagne, one bottle of Scotch whiskey and sixteen whiskey and beer glasses. The receptical was cunningly devised, being under tlie oilcloth. Below the flooring was a. box containing the liquor. The provisions of the new act are very stringent, in the case of persons caught selling liquor without a licence.

DO YOU ENJOY EATING MEN - ATTENTION My Stock of Ofiginal ��������� Chippewa Shoes is now in and on the Shelves 2v *% BOOTS FOR THE LOGGER AND RANCHER MINER Or Does Everything You Eat Distress You? Experts declare that the reason stomach disorders are so common In this country Is due to hasty and careless habits of eating*. Stomach troubles and run-down conditions also usually go together. John Lind, of Oneonta, N. Y., says: \"I have been troubled with a bad stomach trouble for fifteen years, and became so weak that I could hardly walk or do any work. My appetite was very poor, and it seemed impossible to get any relief. Since^ taking two bottles of Vinol I find that it has already made a remarkable improvement in my health; my digestion Is much stronger, and I have gained in weight.\" Vinol makes weak stomachs strong because it strengthens and tones up the weakened, tired and overtaxed nerves of the digestive organs. Vinol is easily assimilated by the weakest stomachs, and is delicious to the taste. Try a bottle of Vinol with the understanding that your money will be returned if it does not help you. J. L.
