C. ���������An analysis of the causes operating to produce forest fires, by which to date the citizens of British Columbia have lost probably $80,000.000���������last year alone the direct loss and cost of protection aggregated $859,915��������� shows that next to carelessness with camp-fires, similarly cz-iminal carelessness in the operation of donkey engines in logging camps is largely responsible for the yearly worse than waste. In connection with this particular phase of the lamentable carelessness which has proven and is proving so expensive to the people of British Columbia, it would be well indeed for everyone in any way identified with the lumbering industry to note just what the legally pre- sribed regulations are which govern the operation of donkey engines in logging camps. These read as follows: Any person or persons using or operating a donkey engine in connection with logging operations shall see that all brush and inflammable matter is removed for a spade of not less than fifty (50) feet on all sides thereof. There shall be available at each donkey engine in use during the dry season a supply of water of not less than four hundred (-������00) gallons, such amount to bo obtainable at all. times therein; together with twelve (12) large galvanized- iron buckets to be kept exclusively for fire protection purposes, and in a convenient position therefor: There shall also be available and kept solely for fire-protection purposes six (6) good shovels and three (3) good mattocks, and located in a suitable position therefor; In addition to the a,b.ovc, there shall be available at such donkey ley, died in England last month -���������- ������ , r* j ' The Herald was the name of the first paper printed in Vancouver.

Mr. Marriott it will be remembered represented with Mr. William Frecheville the Institute of Mining and Metallurgy on the summer excursion of the Canadian Mining Institute in 1908. The representatives of the various Mining Institutions of Europe and America, at that time, were taken across the continent and shown the principal places of interest. A Serious Condition Winnipeg ��������� Startling figures old mining statute which is still among the laws of tho United Kingdom, but which has not been enforced for hundreds of years past. According to this\" statute, in the realms over which the king of England is sovereign, all .gold mines belong to the crown, as does also tho gold produced from other mines. Accordingly, there is in circulation today $204,286,000 of gold mined in the British dominions in 1910, to which King GcoVgc is legally empowered to lay claim. Correspondingly, too, ho is entitled to several billions of dollar of gold mined in British South Africa and West Africa, Australasia, India, British East Indies \"and Guiana, Canada, etc., in the past hundred years or more, during which time the Crown has neglected to assert its statutory rights. It seems safe to assume that never in the future will these statutory rights be asserted. The upheaval of tho British Empire would bo almost certain. The opposition of the colonies would be enormous as well as concerted, for manifest reasons; nor would the opposition in England itself be less pronounced, considering that hundreds of millions of dollars of coal aud iron, machinery, food products and clothing aro shipped annually to British mining colonies, and that this trade would be deleteriously affected . The statute is a relic of medieval ages. It was in those days considered that the possession of the sources of gold in any other hands than those of the sovereign would be a continual and threatening source of danger to the king and to the safety of tbe nation. Today, the greatest source of danger to any nation would lie in concentrating in the hands of its executive a yearly output of gold as colossal as is that of the British dominions,' amounting indeed, in 1910, to 5S per cent, of the gold output of the entire world. Lincoln, who was himself a Southerner, can claim equality with the Southern generals and statesman, of whom Robert Toombs, Albert Sidney Johnston, Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson are types. The blackest chapters and vilest deeds of United States history belong to the period of Republican ascendancy, 1865-1SS0. In their occupation of the Southern States the Northern troops, many of them foreign mercenaries, indulged in a carnival of devastation, pillage, outrage and murder, which would The\"car- Sin'ce the coal strike became aged the editor of the Fernie Free Press is writing upon the value of wild strwberries as a pleasant diet easily obtained. I>* some towns the people appreciate and help a good local paper. In other towns the opposite course is pursued which shows that some people are short on the right kind of education. JUSTICE WAS TOO STERN The women of Canada debated the subject of the sentence of ��������� death imposed upon Angelina Na- politana, the woman whose execution is postponed until after her child is born, and decided to ask for pardon. What man or woman will not approve the petition? It does seem too cruel. It is not much to forego this life, if we have nothing here to love and leave behind. What is more loved than a new-born child? What more heartless, more vicious, more barbarous than to tear a mother, away from her new-born child and exact her life at a rope's end to compensate justice for the killing of a depraved husband, who beat her, who would have sent her into white slavery? Justice in this case, is too stern. Wise men debate the justice of capital punishment in any case. Mercy argues, pleads against it in this instance. The desk of the governor-general is loaded with letters petitioning for pardon. Why not add yours? Visit of Mining Men Louis Reyersbach, Managing Director, and Hugh F. --Marriott, Consulting Engineer of the Central Mining and Investment Corporation of London, England, will visit this country in August. This corporation has recently taken over and consolidated with their own the interests of Messrs Wernher, Beit & Company and Messrs Eckstein & Company, the largest operators in Kimberly and the South African Rand. These gentlemen are making a tour of Canada, commencing in New Brunswick, and will visit the moat interesting mining localities were given by W. B. Lanagan, assistant freight traffic manager of the Canadian Pacific Railway. He pointed out that the three western provinces are not doing I their duty and-that the farmers do not realize the seriousness of the conditions in which they are placing themselves, for vast quantities of foodstuffs are being imported from the East, from the United States and from abroad. \"Last year,\" he said, \"one firm alone shipped in 1,000 cars of packing house products to supply the urban cities of the West. In the same year $10,000,000 worth of horses were brought into Western Canada from the United States. Again, between 200, and 300 carloads of mutton were shipped in for the mining camps of British Columbia, and a good deal of this came to Winnipeg. Also during the past winter months Winnipeg imported from Dakota and Minnesota $10,000 worth of milk. Another point to be remembered is that vegetables for Winnipeg and other cities in the West are daily imported from Chicago and the Twin Cities, and potatoes - consumed as far west as Revelstoke are shipped from as far east as Prince Edward Island. Again, fresh beef is being imported daily, killed in the abattoirs of Toronto and no less than seven carloads were brought in one day last week. In other words, Manitoba, which boasts of its agricultural wealth, does not produce the stuff to feed. its own cities, and even the'farmers themselves arc buying farm products. Eggs, butter, cheese and honey are imported from On. tario, Wisconsin and as far south as California. The province has devoted itself to grain growing until in the older settled portions of the country woods are choking out the products. Stations which formerly shipped a million bushels of grain during a season have now dropped to between 100,000 and 200,000 bushels, while the acreage remains the same. On the other hand there is no province where the land is more fertile and the opportunities as advantageous as in Manitoba, -where Winnipeg is supplying an ever ready market for all farm products.\" The Civil War King George's Gold Mines The approaching coronation in London, with its medieval pomp, and the relics of the ceremonies of by-gone ages, brings to mind an A last word on slavery and the American Civil War in their relation to our times. Industrially, this war was a struggle between cotton and iron, in which iron prevailed; between slave labor and wage labor, in which the latter emerged victorious; between the planters of the South and the manufactures of the north, of whom the latter were bent on destroying slavery, not in the interest of the negro, who was as a rule much better off than many of their own employees, but in order to secure their own commercial and political supremacy by destroying tbe foundation of the power of their Southern rivals. Tbe war had its specific origin in the refusal of the Northern States to observe their constitutional obligations. Slaves were recognized and taxed as lawful property by the Government at Washington. Yet the Republican leaders denied tho plain right of Southern settlers to carry their slaves with them into the (then) territories of Kansas, Colorado, etc., for fear that new slave States would spring up in addition to those already existing. The Northern State authorities also evaded the cause of the constitution and their own oaths binding them to return fugitive slaves to their masters in the South! It may be that slavery exerted a vitiating influence on Southern whites; but some of the arguments in support of this view are lamentably weak. Gold win Smith has cited the horrors of Andersouville and other Southern military prisons as proof of the inhuman temper of the slave holders. He omits to state that the North, not the South were responsible for the horrors of Andersouville. The refusal of Lincoln's Secretary of War to exchange prisoners compelled the South, who could not feed or clothe her own soldiers at the front, to help the Northern prisoners as best she could. In Northern prisons Southern soldiers were tortured and exposed naked to the Winter's cold and snow. The \"demoralization\" of the South may be inferred from the following facts:��������� 1. Throughout tho war the slaves never rose. 2. On nearly all tho great battle-fields of tho war, the Southern armies outnumbered in the great majority of cases, inflicted heavier loses than they sustained. 3. In character and ability none of tho Northern leaders, except have disgraced savages, pet-bag\" Governments set up in tbe South were a further means of draining the wealth of the1, conquered territory into the pockets of a horde of political vampires and leaving it crushed beneath a load of debt. And vile iusult was added to deadly injury when the eulogists'of Northern treachery and barbarity, enabled by success, to gain the ear of thc world, buried the facts of the Civil War beneath an avalanche of foolish, vindictive and slanderous falsehoods, as, for example, that Jefferson Davis was disguised in women's clothes when taken prisoner���������falsehoods which the ignorant and credulous still believe. If it asked, \"What has all this to do with our own times?\" the answer is found in the results of the Civil War. Negro slavery, which would havo gradually disappeared in any event, was swept away at a stroke; and various forms of white servitude took its place. Honest Northern abolitionists, Horace Greeley and Wendell Phillips among others, wore themselves out in vain struggles against Republican corruption and injustice after tbe war; and had Lincoln lived he would have led them in their fruitless efforts.\" A school of commercial aud financial adventurers, of whom Jay Gould and Jim Fisk were prototypes, sprang up, and still flourishes; aud tbe adulation of religious hypocrites throws a halo over their machinations. The negro, for whose freedom (as such, hyprocrites said) the war was waged, []was in reality evicted from home, and made a social outcast, while still remaining a political nonentit}', as he is today. And while the lot of the Southern black was made worse, tho wage laborers of the North has steadily sunk in the social scale since then. Today in America thegulf between rich and poor steadily widens. Legislation tends more and more to .extend the prerogatives of wealth and restrict or abolish the rights of all who do not possess it. The agitation in favor of prohibition will serve to show how history repeats itself. Prohibition has been the dream of sincere. moral and religious zealots, however\" tained with hyprocrisy it may have become. Such another dream��������� was the abolition of slavery. Abolition became a tool in the hands of unscrupulous politicaDS, who used it again the negro, not for him. Prohibition today is engineered by American capitalists as a means of gradually reducing the American laborer's standard of living���������and with it his rate of wages���������to that of the Chinese cooiie. And this same power in the United States, which brazenly exacted the \"Alabama\" claims from England's neutrality and its own violation of Canadian territory is in its cow ardly blundering, insane and swin ieh greed, and shameless worship of wealth, cunning, and brute force a standing, menace to Canada From its dealings with its own citizens in the Southern States wo may judge how it may deal with Canada if vigilance and courage fail us.

This is the answer that took the prize: 'To be a lady means, lightly, to bo a gentlewoman who shows by her every word and action a sweet and gentle dignity, with a gracious charm of manner; a woman whose heart is pure and true, who is tender toward all suffering, who sympathizes with those in trouble and is ever ready with that which costs her some effort and self-denial. A' lady thinks no work derogatory, and no one is deemed too'low to. receive courtesy and kindness. She is pure and good in every detail of life,' a , true friend and a \"ministering angel\" in sorrow and in sickness. & V. fc In fc* fe fe fe fe fe fe fe fe; fe *���������* % *> CO., I/^D.

The nearer a teacher approaches the seat of truth, the narrower becomes his circle of hearers. Popularity in a leader or teacher often means that,he has sufficiently falsified his inner Vision to make it look like a chromo. The truest mark of divinity of Jesus was that so few understood Him. The truest mark of His present divinity is that those institutions which claim to represent Him are so far from comprehending Him. HAVE YOUR PHOTO TAKEN . ���������: by���������- ��������� J. H.

Railways in Saskatchewan Kegiha���������The Leader publishes the following summary of the railway construction in the province: Saskatchewan is witnessing today the greatest railway development any section of the world has ever known. Over one thousand miles of new railway track will be constructed in Saskatchewan this year; Last year Saskatchewan led all the provinces of the Dominion with a total of 475 miles. The 0. N. R. is constructing 330 miles. The G. T. P. is constructing 340 miles. The 0. P. E. is constructing 348 miles. The activity of all three great trans-continental lines centers at Regina. The longest single stretch of railway being constructed is 100 miles. About 1,300 miles of new grading will be done this-year. Total construction for this year is almost one half as great as in the preceding live years. At the end of this year there will be 4,752 miles of track in Saskatchewan. ' According to tbe best information obtainable, the following list of lines will be constructed by the various railways this year, unless something compels the railways to change their plans: By the C. N\". R.���������Aylesbury westward to Davidson, 15 miles; Battleford-Jackfish line, 40 miles to be laid. Thunder Hill extension, 70 miles .west of Manitoba; Delisle branch from Goose Lake line, 85 miles. Moose Jawt southeast 100 miles. Rossburn extension, 20 miles. Shelbrook line, 50 miles. This makes a total of O. N. R. construction of S30 miles this year. By the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad���������Melville to Regina, 70 miles; Battleford to Biggar, 50 miles; Regina to Boundary line, 90 miles; Regina to Moose Jaw, 40 miles; Young Prince Albert, 90 miles; Moose Jaw northwest line will be gone on with.

At the outset large numbers of men can not be employed so advantageously as later on. Within less than three months, however, seven thousand men will be required as it is proposed to finish the entire contracts within two years. Vancouver will be headquarters for hiring labor and. purchasing supplies. This will represent an expenditure there of hundred of thousands of dollars monthly, and figures running into millions annually. In all tunnels aggregating over three miles in length will have to be driven. The two longest will be one 2,000 feet near Yale'and another of 2,400 feet through Battle Bluff, Kamloops Lake. There will'be many other tunnels ranging in length from 200 to 700 feet. The big tunnels will be driven by machinery, the plants working from both porta,ls. The smaller tunnels will Ue driven by hand. It is expected that two years at least will be occupied in completing the big bore at Battle Bluff; ih fact the date of the completion of tho entire division will hinge upon tho driving of the two long tunnels. It is noteworthy that all the subcontractors own their own outfits, showing their capacity for handling big contracts. They will also operate their own com missionary stores. The heavy character of the work is said to offer exceptionally opportunities to station men, individual spaall seotjons of rock work ranging from one to three hundred feet, It is the intention of the various contractors to farm out a good deal of the work that way. The station men usually hire their own labor.

THE LEDGE, GREENWOOD, BRITISH COLUMBIA' BOUNDARY MINES Over 320,000 tons of copper ore have beon smelted in Greenwood thus far in 1911. Work is steadily progressing in tho long tunnel on the E: P. U. They still have over a hundred feet to go before the ore body is expected. 0. B. Smith, manager of the Phoenix mines of the Granby Co., is tho newly appointed general superintendent of the companies Hid- den Creek and Phoenix properties. Diamond drilling is to be done on the- Montezuma and Sunset mines, of the New Dominion Cop- , per Co., in order to thoroughly prospect their orebodios with the object of putting them on tho shipping list. Over half a million tons of ore was shipped from the Granby mines during tho first six months . of 1911, while the Mother Lode camo second with 100,000 tons and the Rawhido third with 104,000 tons. Something over 100 tons of ore aro being treated by tho mill at the Napoleon mine daily. This ore passes throngh a stamp battery and over plates, where a part of the gold is amalgamated. The pulp then passes through a tube mill, is ground much finer, and goes to the cyanide vats, where the remaining gold is extracted. The plant is doing very satisfactory work. During the nine month's of the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co's fiscal year ending April 1st, a total of 309,070 tons of ore were received at the company's smelter at Trail; 262,315 tons being from the company's mines in Phoenix, Bossland and the Slocan, and the balance customs ore from various silver-lead properties. The ore smelted had an approximated gross value of 83,334,000 in gold, silver, lead and copper. I B. C. MINING NEWS 3* HC 'fr'ftgS'^'^S&'S'������''^'^^^^ Fourteen men are employed on the coal property of the United Empire Co., Ltd., located near Princeton. On the No. 5 level of the Standard mine, at Silverton, a body of concentrating ore 130 feet in width j has beon encountered. On tho Hector group at Ains- worth an ore body 1G feet wide has been struck in an adit. The ore is of concentrating grade. J. H. Tnrnbnll of the Canadian Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co., is making a report on the mineral resources of the Hazelton district. The Waterloo mine in Camp McKinney is being unwatered, and will be examined by experts this week. The water in the Sailor will be pumped out. A 15 foot ledge of galena was recently struck on the Cascade Ealls fclaim, on the Salmon river near Stuart, This is one of the best showings found in that district this year. At the Portland-Bear River mine, in the Portland Canal district, an excellent surface showing of quartz carry free gold has been found, and a tunnel run in 50 feet on the ore body. In the last two years ore worth $2,000,000 has been developed above the 450 foot level in the Mother Lode mine, in the Sheep Creek camp, and the property equipped with an up-to-date plant. The Kootenay Belle mine, Sheep Creek camp, has produced over 8100,000 in gold during development work. Ore has now been encountered at considerable depth, and the property looks very encouraging. A good grade of anthracite coal has been discovered on the property of the B. C. Anthracite Syndicate, at Ground Hog mountain in the Skeena district. Extensive development work is' to be done this year, $75,000 being on hand for this purpose. The West Kootenay Light & Power Co. have announced their intention of increasing the rate now charged for electrical power from 40 to 75 per cent., and have served notice on the Granby company that power service will be cut off on the date their present contract expires, July 18fch., unless a new contract be previously made at tho increased rate. This places the company in a critical position, as it is doubtful if smelting can be carried on at a profit with Pennsylvania coke and increased power rates, and Manager Sylvester of the Granby Consolidated has filed a petition with the provincial secretary, imploring the intervention of the provincial executive in the matter. \"Unless there is .prompt action on the part of the Government, another shut down at Phoenix and Grand Forks appears in sight.

THE BIG TUNNEL Talking about Greenwood the Vancouver Province has the following:��������� Mr. Alex Miller of this city has returned from Greenwood bringing good news of the progress made in driving a.long tunnel from the valley of Boundary Creek to tap at depth the big ore bodies of Phoenix camp. Already two veins of silver-lead ore running high in gold and silver, and which out crop on the surface, have- been crosscut. The second one was encountered a few days ago, the ore averaging $150 per ton. This result is taken as demonstrating that values persist at. depth and that other veins which outcrop farther up the mountain will be encountered long before the low grade ore bodies of Phoenix shall have been reached. When the tunnel reaches a point 3,000 feet from the portal, the management of the Greenwood Tramway & Development Company, which. has been granted a bonus by the city of Greenwood, intends to make an upraise to the surface to insure perfect ventillat- ion before, stoping out ore and extending the tunnel farther into the mountain in the direction of Phoe- In an air line Greenwood and Bridesville The crops are all looking fine around this city. ������������������-'--.. * ...-Mr, Taylor, president'of the Rock Creek Farmer's Institute, was here last Thursday.

The work on the coal seams underlying the mountain has weakened the northwest corner, overlooking the town of Frank, and cracks are developing. These were barely noticeable last year, but are now quite marked, despite the fact that the surface is covered with shingle which masks fissures until they obtain considerable size.
