Mining News Drilling operatious afe the Prince Henry are expected to commence today. A. pump had to be used to get the water out and when everything is ready two shifts will be in operation. An Euglish company has bought the Yankee Girl mine and the Dundee mine at Ymir for a consideration of $750,000. At one time the Yankee Girl shipped to Greenwood when the smelter was running. The Revenge Silver Mines, Ltd. (N.P.L.) hag been incorporated under the Compan-ies Act. as a Specially Limited Company. The capital pf the company is $200,000, dividedinto 200,000 shares. ��� The registered office of the company ie in Victoria, B.C. Mining equipment consisting of railp, cars, drill?, etc., were shipped to the Imperial group, v^hich adjoins the Riverside mine near Rock Creek, a few days ago.

Mr. Lofstad, who returned from the group on Tuesday, stases that a shipment of ore will be made very shortly. .-��� ��� '7V / ������- <Z'X The 8 ton concentrator installed in Greenwood by ,fehe Boundary Equipment Co , is now ready for operations. The mill is run by a 14 h.p. Diessel engine. A trial run was made on Wednesday and everything seemed, to be working perfectly. *A. truck of ore was brought down from the Prince Henry dump and will be run through the mill as a further test. Canada, ranking third among countries of fehe world in production of lead, fourth place in zinc production,, first in nickeland first in asbeatop, still imports far more mineral products than she exports. Minerals represented about 17 per cent, of the total exports of Canada and about 45 per cent, of the imports. Raw.materials exported in 1923 amounted td^37,000,000, and imports' S105,000,000, the latter made up principally of coal, iron and petroleum. Imports.of manufactured mineral products totalled 6214,000,000. Beaverdell Camp, which has been worked mostly by leaserg, has been a producer for years, according to P. B. Freeland, district engineer for tbe Provincial Department of Mines. "Tn fehd Beaverdell area the chief producers are the Bell and Wallace Mountain (Sally) Mines. The history of these mines is interesting inasmuch as they have been-'known -and-worked-spasmodically .-for, the _ past-twenty years, generally, under .lease to one or two men.. The leasees -in -'.some cases; foutfd a high grade ore shoot, mined ifc and .either.quife orcould not get money enough to develop another ore body,r f ��� 'That fehey did- hot find othej? ore shoots,'! says Mfr.* Freeland, "is not a; reflection oh Jiheir miuing /ability,7 because very" little was. known about the* 'faulting! system in those days." But wbenV Duncan Mcintosh and his partner, Chas. Oliver, took the Bell over, the system of ��� 'faulting" was worked oufe successfully and the mine has paid.a fortune since 1917.7 Pat Crane- is now Mr. Mcintosh's partner, in this enterprise. It:was on this .Bell property that miners over a year ago, in levelling a spot for a; tennis court, uncovered an important ore .vein"from which $50,0.00 worth of.eilver was mined. Farmers Decide to Build Hall at Midway On Saturday, March 7th, the United Farmers Local held their annual meeting in Midway, which was well attended. After election of officers, the women met with the men to hear the interesting report of E. F. Keir, who attended the U. F. convention at Revelstoke. Mr. .Keir spoke of'the cordial reception he received and the good time shown him while at the convention. He said the' desire of the U. F. there seemed to be the amalgamation with the Farmers Institute. This combine would include stock-breeders, sheep-raisersi dairy-men, poultry- men, bee-keepers, fruit-growers and tomato-growers. A representative of /each of these industries to form an agricultural council, so as when they approach the Government, they, would do so under one head. The Institute and United Farmers would form under a new name. After dwelling at length on - many interesting facts, with regards to farmers in general, Mr. Keir concluded his report.' ; - ' Tea was then-served by the ladies, there being a generous supply., of good things to eat. ' The lunch was' supplied by Mesdames Bruce, Bender 'and Richter. Mrs. Hawkes being proclaimed the official tea-maker. After lunch the proposed new hall was discussed and voted on, the majority being in favor, A committee was formed to look * after the site, lumber, etc. The committee being as follows: Messrs. J.

Adrift On Ice Floe Thrilling , Experience of Government Employee at Port Nelson ���Reports have reached the department of railways and canals of the terrifying experience of one of tho caretaking staff at Port Nelson,'on Hudson's Bay. The man, Fred Bes- c.huk, a Russian, went out on the ice opposite the harbor works one afternoon to visit some traps. While on (he ice, a section of it measuring about half a mile wide and throe-quarters of a mile in length, became dot ached and Beschuk was carried out to sea wiih tht* tide. His fellow employees searched with lanterns throughout tho night, but no trace could ho found of the man. He. was then given up as lost. The temperature was ;f2 degrees below zero, but fortunately there was very .little wind. The following afternoon, wiih the return of the tide, -Bescl.uk was observed coming up stream on the ice floo and he was brought ashore in a canoe. Sonic time during iho night, while walking around to keep himself warm, Oeschuk had broken through the surface ice and wet both feet, which were found to have been frozen. He was conveyed to the end of steel by dog sled and the Hudson's Bay Railway train, which was on Mile 170, and went up to Mile 214 especially to meet him. He was brought to The Pas and thence removed to a hospital in Winnipeg for an operation. It is estimated the ice floe on which Beschuk was carried off, travelled 25 miles to sea with the tide and it is remarkable that the following tide should returned the moving ice to almost tho same place in the stream from which it. started.

Chinese Honor Their Families Elder Members Exact Implicit Obedience From the Younger In China tho individual is next to nobody and the family everything. And family does not moan simply a Chinaman's immediate household, his Wife and children, but also his parents, his grandparents, his grand-uncles, his brothers and their wives and children, his young unmarried sisters, and the many servants necessary to attend to their wants. Quite probably, all Lhese people will be living under the same roof. .Every son when ho marries' brings his wife to his father's house, and their children are born and brought up theve. The greatest sin a man can commit is to harm his family or disgrace his ancestors. The older members of a family exact Implicit obedience from the youagor.

Yet in 1503, an Italian traveller, who was, perhaps, the first European to visit Mecca, and whose account of his travels proves him fo have been a careful and tiuthful ob-servcr, gives a very clear description of Ihis creature, two specimens of which he saw iu that city. "Now. 1 will tell you of their make," he wiites. "The elder is shaped like a colt of thirty mouths, and he. lms a horn on his forehead about three arm-lengths. The other is like a coll of one year, and his horn is the length of three hah'ds. The color is dark bay; tho head linn a hart's, but no long neck; a thin, short mam1 hangs oyer one side; the legs are slender and lean, like a goat's; the foot a little cloven, long, ancl much like a goal's, with some hair at the back of the legs.

Hidden Treasure In Russia Soviet Government Excavating Under Towers of the Kremlin The Soviet. Government has taken steps to excavate under the towers of ihe Kremlin for.the famous -, hidden treasure of Ivan the Terrible, 1530- 15S4, said to include SOO volumes bound in pute gold and many Arabian, Persian, Assyrian and Byzantine manuscripts and parchments of priceless value. The existence of such a library has been known for centuries, but ils precise locution has never been accurately determined. Peter the Great, in 1721, made an effort to llnd'Uie library, but the excavating work had to be abandoned because of the physical dillicultii.'S. Similar efforts have since been made without success. In spite of his cruelty and barbarity. Ivan i.s declared by Russian history in haveTVeon a great savant and lover of the arjs, accumulating during his long reign what was for the age considered an enormous library, the libraries of Europe being ransacked for contributions to iiis collection. In the closing years of his reign he was sttr- rouuded by so many intriguers that the historians say he hid all his treasures, including his library, so tliat __thoy might not fall into the hands of his enemies. Preliminary surveys already carried out by the government are declared to show that the entire hill on which the Kremlin is built is intersected with'an arterial system of subterranean tunnels arid secret passages. Archaeologists express the belief that in ancient times an cuiiro city existed under ihe present city of Moscow, many stone implenienls and oilur evidences of an ancient ci. ilization having been unearthed.

Old-Timc Saturday Night Some of the Ideas; Could Be Used With Profit-Now Every Saitirday night in ;i very true sense offers a time for a checking-tip process in the lives of individuals or collectively of families. There was a time iu th'e history of this people when a solemn hush came over the family as the twilight hours fell upon the city aud couutrytide. Shoes were blackened, cooking was finished, the'family alfar was set up, and whole families waited in a true religious manner for ihe dawn ot the Sabbath day. But Time is a relentless sort" of machine. It crushes ambitions, annihilates tradition, destroys our fondest dreams. Today much of the solemnity which in former days w.is a part-.of .Saturday nights has disappeared, and ore and all, old and young, give themselves over to thoughts of relxalion from the strenuous work of the preceding week and surcease from worry.- In a sense it would be a magnificent thing if wo here in America could get back to some of the old-fashioned ideas which we have held relative to Saturday night. If we could sum up, for example, our week's accomplishments and plan for the coming days we could go forward lo new and greater tasks, we should gain new inspirations for service to ourselves and to others. This may sound idealistic, but It is the sort of idealism that swo need more and more as wo jprogrc-ss.���Dayton News. Artesian Wells Known to Ancients In Oldest One In Europe Was Sunk Twelfth entury Artesian wells are of-great antiquity; they were known to the Chinese and Egyptians of remote ages. In Europe the oldest known is that at Lillers, in Artois, France, from which province the name artesian is derived. This well was' sunk in the twelfth century. Wells Avere sunk in various parts of Europe and in the Sahara Desert. Wherever thc geological formation Is favorable, water may bo procured from thc inoxhau'stlblo "waters under the earth." In Queensland, 500 artesian wells, some 4,000 foot deep, but. averaging 1,170 feet, produce nearly .195,000,000 gallons of water daily and have trans- forhied much country from aridity to fertility. East of the coast range arc about a score 3,200 feci deep. Notable artesian wells' exist in Europe, one in Sehladobach, in Prussia, being nearly a mile in depth. Tho ornamental f fountains in Trafalgar Square, London, are supplied from artesian wells.

Many districts, similarly affected by lack of population, and trade would also be denied the privilege of service and"* there would he no resident ministers in such areas. Self- interest should cause us to' give as liberally as possible ��� to the mission funds. Because it was the last great command of our Master that we should give the Gospe.1 to every living creature. ���Matt. 28 v 19-20. Through the acceptance of the teaching of Jesus Christ alone can the world be won for the Kingdom of God and made safe for youf sons and daughters to live in. The spread of the teaching of Christ alone can save the world from a calamity greater than the world war. How can we pray "Thy Kingdom Come" if we refuse to bear the expense of His Church in onr midst. , For the two years ending Dec. 1924, we paid to our minister for salary and expenses $608 per annum. During the same period we subscribed for the Missionary budget of the Church a total of S1S6. Are we doing our share? The present year is a'critical year in the history of our. Church.
