Evkuy rose may have a thorn, but over in Golden The Star has a Cloud. Quite a number of people this summer havo beeu drowned for the first time. Defends Christian Science Dortnci the recent hot spell not a single mint julep got across the line to Greenwood. This is the month of the year in which the fire demon deserts hell for a vacation amid the forests of British Columbia. Last week, just as the band began to play in Nelson, a deer rushed through the streets and disappeared in the woods to the west. We thought that Nelson had a good band. IjV Kootenay bears are very pientiful this summer. Long Jim should train them to pick berries for his Nelson jam factory. As skilful pickers of berries the bears have few competitors. In Windsor, recently, a woman fell dead while entering a bank. People should keep away from those places, and leave their money with editors. Nobody ever fell dead when paying the printer. An exchange says that a sturgeon weighing eighty pounds was recently captured in Montreal. The paper does not say how the fish got into Montreal, nor that the day was Friday. As Quebec is a province of miracles the fish may have come Speaking as a Christian Scientist, Senator John D. Works, of California, held a roasting senate quiet and silent for an hour recently, in Washington, with the temperature at 95deg., while he told the story of how he, his wife and son had been restored to health, the latter conquering the drink habit by means of the Christian Science treatment. The recital could not have been wholly pleasant for the courageous Californian, but he spoke with an earnestness and force that supplied its own evidence that he waB performing what he regarded as his duty. He disclaimed, for himself and for Christian Scientists generally, any hostility to any school of medicine. He had tried them all, he said, and they had done the best they could. The medical profession is doing great work in the healing of diseases, he said, and Christian Scientists never would be found opposing legislation that tends to improve the medical .profession. The remarks, of Senator Works were provoked by the bill of Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, providing for the consolidation of existing government medical bureaux * in a department of public health. '���������I propose to discuss this question from the standpoint of the Christian Scientist," said Senator Works, '���������in opening, and to describe my own personal experience for ten years, I was a scoffer and derided and ridiculed the claims of Christian Scientists to heal disease. But the time came when I was to put their claims to the test. I had suffered for many years from a complication of complaints. At the last, I suffered acutely night and day. I lost thirty pounds, NEWS OF PORCUPINE The Porcupine country of Northern Ontario is recuperating quickly and today there are evidences everywhere that the depression following the cataclysm will be be of very short duration. Already the Terniscaming district, as the people of the north like it to be called, is recovering. Tho future bids fair. The T. and N. 0. are taxed, to their utmost to handle the freight and passenger traffic and the growth of Porcupine and Cochrane, the two places wiped out by the fire,'will depend largely upon the capacity of the Government road and their ability to rush through tho building material, machinery, etc., which lias already been ordered. Merchants from Cobalt and other points aro going into Porcupine and Cochrane by the dozen to seek opportunities of establishing a business, workmen are returning by hundreds, mine men are flocking back to look over the situation and resume operations, speculators from all sections are rushing in and everything seems to indicate that confidence will soon be fully restored. So far as the mines in Porcupiae are concerned, the losses there will not be very great; in fact, the suspension of operations is the most serious consideration. With the exception of the Dome, most of the mines burned out had* nothing moro than prospecting machinery on hand, and many of them had already ordered or were planning to order more complete plants. Take for example, tho Vipond. They had got p'ast the stage where the little stamp mill that had been doing such good service wonld longer serve, and arrangements were beinn made for the installation of a bigger mill. And so it is down the line of properties destroyed, with the exceotion of tho Dome. $150,000 worth of cement and 2,500,000 pounds of steel are being used. Extending from the spillway and one and one-third miles across the area within the horseshoe bend, is an embankment of earth with a width at its base of 350 feet at its highest point and the maximum height of which will be 45 feet, or 13 feet above the natural height of the river bank. The earth of this mammoth earthen dam, amounting to nearly a million yards, is being excavated from the first two and a half miles of the canal and conveyed across the river on a double trestle bridge, which continues the full length of the embaukmeut. The main canal, with a bed 70 feet in width and 50 feet deep will carry 11 feet of water, tho head- gates being capable of allowing 3,000 cubic feet por second to pass into tho canal. Some five miles east of the main dam, the first diversion dam is also under construction with canals running north and east. It may be stated that this groat irrigation scheme is only the eastern section, tho western portion, which runs east from Calgary, having already been in use for over two years. H. W.

D. Mc Arthur, contractor, of Winnipeg. In round figures, this represents an expenditure of $3,000,000. This stretch will connect the line with the Grand Trunk Pacific from the Canadian Pacific at Hobbon, bringing the railway to within 100 miles of Hudson Buy. "** Under the conditions of the contract, the work must be completed in two years and must commence immediately. The undertaking will employ three thousand men. The line, which starts from Sault Ste. Marie, will open up a country of great wealth, including the famous clay belt of Ontario, the richest pulp areas iu the world, and many of the finest water powers yet discovered on the continent. McArthur secured the contract in face of keen competition. The plans were sent out to local contractors to-day, calling for bids on the new Algoma Central Kail- way depot which it is estimated will cost upwards of 81,000.000. of pea-soup. Fiton reports in the press it looks as though the taking of the census in Canada has not been very well done. The result is in keeping with the ability of some of the enumerators. When politics push ability to ono side the proper fulfilment of public affairs will always be more or less of a failure. In New York the surgeons have recently succeeded in putting a leg on a woman and the operation is the talk of the surgical world. That's nothing. Here, in the west, some fellow has a head put on him every day without causing any comment, except, occasionally, a few words from some scientific policemen. The Rossland Miner complains that the businees men in that town do not grant it a sufficient advertising support. All dead towns are the same, and the dead do not advertise. It is different in Greenwood. Here, in this live and progressive city, everybody advertises in the leading excitement, except about forty of the business and social institutions. Somethin's wrong somewhere whon a feller can't havo as much as he had when he wuz out of work. ing the idea that the headaches from which I suffered were due to a displacement of one of the vertebrae which pressed on the epinal cord. ��������� I have no word of condensation or criticism of the physicans who did the best they could .'for me; but from the time I began to take the treatments I began to improve: That improvement continued steadily day by day for four months, when I could say to my self that I was completely healed. My wife, who had been an invalid fifteen years, begau the treatment at the same time. She had been told that her only relief was the surgeon's knife. She was healed in three treatments by Christian Science, and for nine years has been a comparatively healthy women. But the one thing that appealed to us more than anything else was the curing of our son of the drink habit, which had taken a hold of him so completely that we had to take him home and nurse him like a child. He resisted our pleading for a year, and finally after a long debauch, he said, "I khow what Christian Science has done/or you and mother. Call in your Christian Science healers" This was almost seven years ago, remarked Senator Work, "and from the time he took the first treatment the desire for drink was completdy.destroyed. A Big Ditch A representative of the Ashcroft Journal has recently returned from the gigantic work, second only of its kind to that of the Panama canal, of the Canadian Pacific railway irrigation department, now under construction three miles southwest of Bassano, which lies 83 miles east of Calgary. The dam, which is to raise the level of the Bow river and divert a portion of its waters into canals to irrigate some 500,000 acres, which are now offered for sale, is of enormous dimensions and is situated at a locality where the Bow river makes a horseshoe bend, the outer or north bank of which rises over 100 feet, while the' inner or south bank has a gradual elevation from the water's edge. The sight of this slowly rising area within the horseshoe, in extent some 1,000 acres and to the edge as level and at this time as a billiard table, is such as we, who reside in this mountainous dry belt, could thoroughly appreciate. Horseshoe dam, as it is called, is a composite structure���������48 buttresses, 15 feet apart, with a total length of 720 feet and a concrete floor on tho river bed extending upstream from the buttresses a distance of 30 feet and downstream for 90 feet, from the spillway. In this reinforced concrete work about Edmonton.���������Dr. T. F. Burgen of Spokane, and his associates, including three experienced trappers, have leased two thousand acres of land in the lake district north of Athabasca Landing, where they will raise mink and muskrats ou a commercial scale. They began last month. Dr. Burgen says of the enterprise: "I do not know that there has been a similar experiment tried, but I have devoted all my spare time for seven years to careful investigation and I am convinced that the project will be a big success financially. "I was over the ground recently and chose the location. I will get about five thousand additional muskrats to put into the lake immediately, although it is well stocked at present. That we may get the best price we will choose one lake and stock it with tho dark rats, which are of more commercial value. "The rats require no food other than what they can get themselves except in unusual cases. We will prepare for emergencies by growing carrots, which will be fed to the animals at times if necessary. The muskrat fur will be worth from fity cents to one dollar each. The mink are much more difficult to handle and* we will be obliged to prepare pens and sink the netting deep into the ground so that they cannot escape. We will secure five hundred when we begin operations this summer and should have several thousands for commercial purposes a year from this coming winter. "We will be obliged to feed fish to the mink, and these are in abundance on our lease. The mink furs sell as high as nine dollars, aud are better in the north, than in the United States. We will handle some cattle and horses in connection wiuh tho fur farm, as our project will require but little attention a large portion of the year." During the 37 months that Lowcry's Claim was on earth it did business ail over tlio world. It was the most unique, independent ond fearless journal over produced in Canada. Political and theological enemies pursued it with the venom of a rattlesnake until the government shut it out of the mails, and its editor ceasad to publish it, paitly on aecount of a 'lazy liver and partly because it takes a pile of money to run a paper that is outlawed.

"No assays of the rock have been made but its richness is beyond question. It seems that Old Arkansaw knew of this gold in the early days, having crossed the ground while prospecting for galena. But there was a prior location and he could do nothing with the. owner. After a while the claim, which was never crown granted, lapsed for non-assessment Back came Arkansaw to THE FIRST THOUGHT It has been known here that the First Thought mine has been under bond for nearly two years, and during that period rumors of the closing of the sale of the mine have been floated at intervals, and when the Journal two weeks ago made mention of the consummation of the deal transferring the mine to an English syndicate for the consideration of $S, 000,000 it seemed to us too good to be true, and we did not give the news the importance to be expected iu chronicling a deal of such magnitude and which means so much to the.Orient camp. '"" Reports have come in since from authentic sources which confirm the first report that the deal has actually been made, and that the coasideration for the First Thought is not overstated. This is without a doubt the biggest sum paid for just one mine in the west, and, of course, those who do not know the true worth of the mine.are reluctant in believing the report of the sale, especially as to the sum involved. As there are other deals in the camp which hinge .on the transfer of the First Thought it is expected that those who are on the inside will deny the sale as bonafide.��������������������������� Orient Journal 1 Unequalled for Domestic Use."

BOUNDARY MINES Work was resumed on the Elk horn on Wednesday. The Greenwood smelter stock and on wheels* has in more than 9,000 tons of. eastern coke. The shaft at the Emma- mine near Eholt is being pumped out, and it is quite likely that operations will be resumed upon that property in a short time. B.C. jpw Near Ferguson the Silver Cup is employing a force of 12 men. The American smelters are looking for lead ores in B. C. Ore worth 893 a ton has recently been shipped from the Republic camps. Tn the Slocan work will likely be resumed on .tho McAllister this month. In the Slocan the TJtica has closed awaiting better facilities for transportation. Thero is considerable activity on Nino Mile in the Hazelton district this summer. Kamblei'-Caribon-Extension mining stock is now being sold in Spokane and other cities. The Slocan Eecord says that it was probable, that the papers for the transfer, of the Slocan Star would bo signedlast Friday. The force has been increased at the Bonanza mine near Eossburg, Wash., and the water between' tho lower levels is being pumped out. The mines around Barkerville are nearly all cleaning up. There is very little water in tho creeks, and this has been the hottest summer ever known in that district. It is reported that the Consolidated Gold Co. of South Africa has acquired a considerable interest in Yukon fields, and intend to float a compauy with a capital of 8S,000,000. It' is reported that operations will be resumed this month at the First Thought. This great 88,000,000 mine is at Orient, Wash.���������just a few miles across the hills from Greenwood. ���������-' The Puget Sound Iron Company has sold the famous magnetite iron deposits on the northwest coast of Texada .Island to Duluth parties, who are said to have acted on behalf of the United States Steel corporation. The consideration was 81,000,000. final payments having been made within the past six weeks. The Duluth syndicate, headed by ex-Senator Hawkins, has acquired by lease 20,000 acres of iron lands in Comox district from the E. & N. railway, and has been developing them for over 18 months. The senator and his associates, accompanied by a Pittsburg mining export, returned lately from an inspection of the holdings and state that development to date.has given a tonnage in sight of at least 2,000,000 tons. Work is still in progress. The impression prevails that the Duluth people also represent some billion dollar corporation which is credited with the intention of acquiring the principal iron areas in British Columbia with a view to ultimately establishing iron works on this coast. One condition ol the competition was that no prize be given in the first class unless some member shooting in this class made 90 or over. From the official scorekeeper's record it appeared that Mr. Bert Logan made a score of 90 and had consequently won the prize in this class. Mr. ��������� Logan, however, wilh true sportsmanlike spirit, pointed out that an error had been made in his score and thus deprived himself of the prize in the first class. Il is such acts as this that maintain rifle shooting in its high position as a clean, honorable sport. E.

Bert Everill has finished his assessment on his group of claims at Glouster camp. J. A. Boyce of Phoenix did the assessment on his claims at Franklin last week. - Charley aud Lew Hansen, better known as the Danes, are developing their claims east of Glouster. The Kettle Valley Lines run a passenger train as far as Lynch Creek, the present terminus, every Wednesday. Bert Mcluuis aud William. Johnson are driving a tunnel to tap the ore at depth on their claims near Glouster. Jim McDonald and McAllister of Phoenix have just completed assessment on the Buffalo claim, on the Black Lead, near Franklin. Forbes M. Kirby of Grand Forks has surveyed the Sliver King group near Franklin City. He was assisted by Bert Everill and William Johnson. Johnny Morrell and his partner are working on their group of !2 claims a few miles south of Franklin. They have developed promising showings of gold ore in a number of places. Several road gangs are employed in improving the Grand Forks-Lynch Creek road.. They also expect to rebuild the road down from Eholt to Eagle City, which is now in very bad condition. _ . Ed Berryman is in charge of a crew of eight men working on the McKinley mine, which is under bond to the B.C. Copper Co. This* promising copper property is located three miles south-west of Glouster. O. E. LeRoy, in charge of several geological survey parties in this part of the province, made a trip to Franklin some time ago. A party of three under charge of C. W. Drysdale are mapping the geological formations of that camp, making a careful study ot an area of 16 square miles, within which the majority of the claims are situated. McKinley's Big Ore Deposit C. W. H. Sanson, mining engineer, of the McKinley mines, at Orient, has figured that there is 3,750,000 tons of ore in the big dyke, which crosses three claims, and that tho ore, at a low estimate of $5 a ton, will net the company 818,000,000. Mr. Sanson has just made a report to C. F. Wick- strom, president of the company, in the "Realty ��������� building, that he has completed measuring and sounding the big dyke and that he finds it has an average width of 50 feet, that it is 200 feet deep and 4500 feet long. The ore appears in true dyke formation and is no a vein, and will bo easily mined by stoping from the big tunnel which is now being run in at the 200- foot level. The ore is��������� practically the same as that in .the First Thought mine and the gold -runs uniformly throughout the entire dyke and is easily Reclaimed by the cyanide process. A new contract will be let in a few days for extending the tunnel another 270 feet, which is expected to reach the big dyke, and it is expected that this work will be completed by December 1. Work is to be rushed on the erection of the big cyanide plant, and it is hoped to be ready to treat the ore by the time the tunneling is completed. The cyanide plant wlil be able to handle 100 tons of ore daily.���������Spokane Chronicle.

Jones, who are bound for the Peace Eiver valley to superintend the surveying of some land areas in which they are interested in that section, now being surveyed by. Jack Milligan, under P. L. S. Jack Gray. Mr. Gething is well known in this section, where for some years ho classified lauds for the government. He was "one of the first timber men to locate iimits in the upper Fraser valley on the route of the G.T.P. Mr.* Gething, together with Messrs. Williams & Murdoff, of Vancou-. ver, are owners of Lot 1511, the large Island, formerly the property of Russell Peden, situated at the mouth of the Nechaco Eiver. It is the intention of the owners to subdivide when the G.T.P. town- site question is settled.���������Fort George Herald. COPPER PRODUCTION The copper curtailment which has been in force for nearly six months, and which by agreement expires on August 1, is to be renewed by the companies, but just for what length of time cannot be ascertained. Indeed, the opinion appears to be that no stated time has been mentioned, but that in view of the brightening prospects, the time was left open, so that if deemed advisable to resume on a larger scale in three months, this could be done, or if conditions are not satisfactory the agreement could run along for another six months. President Ryan, of the Amalgamated, when discussing the situation, simply said that "for the present the production would remain about the same." Prospecting By Wireless Exploring the earth to discover the position of mineral ores is the latest uso to which wireless telegraphy has been put. . For the exploring apparatus, with which experiments- have been made by Dr. Lowry, of Gottingen, three holes, in line, are bored in the ground to a depth of about 300 feet, or in some cases there are four holes; one at each corner of .a square piece of ground, which may be as large as a thousand square miles. Wireless antenna*- are placed in the holes, each antenna being about 250 feet in height. By measuring the relative intensities of signals at one antenna sent from the others through the earth, the position of any mineral deposits can be estimated. In examining a large tract of land for mineral ore the work of prospectors would be greatly facilitated and much shortened by the use of the new method. The wireless "diviner" has already been" put to " practical use in some Silesian lead mines. ���������!��������������������������������������������������� ���������������������������^������������������'���������tt-a-**''-'**^'**-'*-^^ RIFLE ASSOCIATION The first prize meeting of "the Greenwood Civilian JRifle Association for the year 1911, took' place at the Mother.

On tho whole the tennis was not up to tho standard except among the ladies, who in most cases played in excellent form, but the men, whom one expected to do well, in irioet cases failed; and those who were not expected to play brilliant tennis, played the game of their Jives.

B. TOMKINS Manager Howe's Oircns was unable to accommodate the crowds ' that travelled down to the grounds on Ontario street east yesterday afternoon and evening. Montrealers are circus lovers and tax the capacity of any tent, so at Both performances yesterday ' standing room was at a premium. , It is a good show. Clowns, jugglers, acrobats, bareback riders, aerial artists, entertain as'of old, and there is the glamor of the sawdust, pink lemonade, and peanuts to bring back* to the elders memories of bygone days, and make* the youngsters speechless with delight. There is a herd of musical elephants, who make a noise with instruments, and there is -'Duchess," which the Howe people claim is the largest pachyderm in captivity. ���������'Duchess'* certainly looks big when standing beside a young chap the size of a brewery horse, and she gobbled up peanuts galore and waved her trunk for more, while the smallest "elephant of the herd shrieked jealously. The Eddy family are marvelous on the wire and do, some wonderful acrobatic work and are the feature of tho ring show. A Japanese troupe won applause also, and the clowns made tlio spectators laugh with their antics. The bareback riding also pleased in another way. A feature of Howe's show is the fine condition of ,the animals in the"menagerie. .They are all sleek and their hides are clean, glossy, and apparently well groomed. Even the hyena, which is generally, a mangy-looking brute, looks respectable and is so proud of himself that he doesn't deign to laugh. Three lion cubs, a couple of weeks old, attracted many people to their cage, as they played like kittens and shared with thier mother a -chunk of meat that would satisfy a boarding house. There are also camels, leopards, monkeys and llama and flat-tailed sheep and several smaller species of animals in the beasts' tent. At the night performance there were so many people in the tent that the performers had difficulty in carrying ��������� out their programme. ���������Montreal Gazette. another before speech was' born. If this is true, the power is clear and strong between tbe boy and his dog. They understand each other perfectly. They need no man language or dog language, The two are always in complete rapport. ' We read the other day of a little fellow who ran away to escape a whipping and was drowned in a slough. It was the boy's dog which discovered his master's bedraggled little cap and pointed out to the rescuers where to find the body. Such happenings are not infrequent, but ,they are always pathetic. .What must be the depths of the dogs feelings when such a calamity comes into his life; and it 'must be all the more profound because he ' cannot give expression to it. The dog can express his joy, his love and his devotion. He can express them buoyantly, abundantly with every bit of his bodyto the tip of his tail. But grief ho can only show by a quiet look from sad and mournful eyes, too full for tears. One other way he has and it is not uncommon. Often on* a newly marked grave tho body of a dog is found. He has given expression to his feelings in the only way loft to him��������� by dying. . ��������� - y- ^???f?????mr??m???n?????????????nTT?TT?y??TT????m??nf????Tf??ff?K I . ������������������ FOR.

As no redistribution act has been passed, there can bo no allotment of new seats to the four Western provinces whieli had hoped to secure about thirty additional members as a result of the recent census. The provinces will havo the same number of members in the new House as in* the House which lias just ceased to exist. B. C. MININC NEWS An exhibit of ore is to be sent to the Vancouver exhibition from Hazelton. The new mill for the Standard mine hear Silverton will be ready for operation in October. A fine body of ore has been struck in the 200 foot tunnel on the Silver Cup mine, near Hazelton. A denial of any sale of the First Thought mine at Orient was issued last week by P. Burns, from Calgary. Gold has beer, discovered both in placers and quartz lodes by a number of prospectors in the Coquahalla valley near Hope. The duty on coal from the United States has been removed pending the resumption of work in the British Columbia mines, in order lo prevent suffering in the prarie provinces on account of the long shutdown. A flowing salt spring has been found on the G. T. P. right-of-waV within a few miles of Prince Eu- pert. It produces such strong brine that it is easy to obtain the salt, oven with the crude appliances at hand in a railway construction camp. It is the only salt spring so far discovered in the province.

Sir Wilfred Laurier decided to ask for an immediate dissolution at a meeting of his Cabinet, and at once notified Earl Grey, Governor- General. A short time later a special issue of the "Gazette" was printed, containing the formal announcement and giving legal effect to the edict.; In both Liberal and Opposition rooms the news was received with cheers, and the members hurried away to telegraph their political workers that the begun. Practically every member has left the capital, and the campaign on the reciprocity issue will begin all over the Dominion early next week. The announcement of Dissolution came somewhat of a surprise as few persons expected it before next week. The refusal of the Conservatives in the House to close the debate on the Government's reciprocity resolution and permit a vote on it. which would mean its adoption, and the improbability of a change in their attitude, resulted in the Government's decision that it was useless to continue Parliament. This is the first time a session of the Dominion Parliament has^een closed without the appearance of the Governor-General in Military state at .the state chamber to give formal prorogation.
