" '' " MINING NOTES ��� A new lead was encountered in the cross cut tunnel on the D.^A. in Deadwood camp, west of Greenwood, on Saturday at a depth of 470 feet. The last round exposed a 24 inch lead; The same lead outcrops on the surface and assays returns from it gave good values. The .new find is very encouraging to James Skilton and associates. The compressor and other machinery has arrived for the Elkhorn Mines, Limited, N.P.L., which took over the Elkhorn Fraction last week. Jack Morrison is in charge at the Fraction and is getting the buildings ready for the machinery. Jerome McDonell was in town on Tuesday evening, bringing in samples of ore from the new find on' the Dynamo. The ore was struck 200 feet, from the portal of the 800 foot tunnel and the lead is highly mineralized.

Moore, of Victoria, B.C., who was-in Greenwood recently looking over the field, has announced his. intention of opening a law office here in' the course of the next few days. Mr. Moore is an old timer in this country as he paid his'first visit to Greenwood in 1896 and lived for a number of years in the Kootenays.���In 1898 he was_the first" editor of the "Nelson Daily Miner," now "The Mews," and since 1908 has been practising law in Victoria. ,Mr. -Moore was overseas during the Great War for three years, re- _ tiring with the rank "of Captain.. Owing to Mr., Hallett's regretted'' death, Mr. Moore came to Greenwood, and after looking over the field very carefully came to the conclusion that the prospects for a "lawyer were better in the Boundary than in the over-crowded ranks of the profession at the Coast. He is a great believer in the future of this district and is confident that the mining revival brought about by the numerous discoveries of good bodies, of high grade silver-lead ores portend a period of prosperity and activity comparable to the busy days of the Slocan country ih the late 'nineties. Mr, Moore, is at present in Victoria settling up his affairs and arranging for the removal of his furniture and large law library4 but he hopes to be - at his desk in Greenwood in the course of a few days.

C The End of the World Important Event May Happen In Five Hundred Billion Years Says Professor The ultimate fate of the solar system, of which the earth is a part, is that it -will become two stars, oue ol them the sun and the? other a new star made up of all tlie planets with Jupiter as a gathering point. This is the prediction of Professor AV. D.- MacMiilan, of the University ot Chicago, upon tlie basis of new mathematical studies reported in his paper to the National Academy of Sciences, y Yet, there is no need for immediate preparations for the judgment day. Professor-MacMiilan estimates ihat it will probably be some five hundred billion years before Jupiter becomes a "star and swallows tho earth in the process of doing so. The reason for this end of ihc solar system and its conversion inio a binary, or twin star, is lhat tho planets are,actually growing, extremely slowly of course. They aro sweeping up the cosmic dust, or nebulosity, throughout space somewhat as a snowball increases in size, and when the planets have gathered enough waler they will be gobbled up by the largest of them, due to the action of the laws of gravitation. The result is a star. Some -10 per cent, of the stars in the heavens arc binary, and Professor MacMiilan considers it probable that many of them at one time wore solar systems. Looking so, far into the future and into the past has greatly changed astronomers' ideas of the lifetime of a solar system. Whereas, they used to think a solar system had a, life expec "taacy of iC mere hundred million.years, Professor MacMiilan now estimates it at a million billion years, called for convenience "an .con. _ Once.au eon, on ihe average, a star willmake a clo'se approach to the .sun, an^ event which would be explosively disastrous to our part of the "universe, whether it happened while tlio -earth still existed or when the earth had long since disappeared in tho clutches; of Jupiter.

It is thought, that the ornaments were a part of the regalia of the young Pharaoh. A majority of tho toiler, articles are of gold and lavishly ornamented wiih precious stories and enamel. .

Urges Cultivation Of Speaking Voice Few Posses-s Pleasing Method of Talking Says Woman Writer Why aren't women's voices cultivated for speaking, asks a woman writer in Le Matin, thereby drawing attention to what is,admitted to be a weak spot in most French women's armor of charms. Women's voices, the writer goes on to point, out, are worked on and trained for singing and for. .acting but no one seems to, think "of"" recommending" appropriate- exercises to develop a pleasing method of talking." Kile ends.her arlicle with a little anecdote: "I once heard someone ask a man' how it was that he .was so passionately devoted ro his wife, an exceptionally ugly woman',antl this was his-reply. ���' 'But-1 ilon't look a ther. I listen to her.'" - ,' Wonders Of Malay Jungle Is Described As a Topsy-Turvy Land By a British Investigator An extraordinary account of-tho Malay jungle was given in a lecture delivered by Carveth Wells, who has just returned to Loifdc-n after surveying the British railroad which runs through - the jungle. Darwin, who visited tlie jungle, called it a topsyturvy land," but this is the first time a full account of it has reached London. "Nature seems to have been;, completely upset by the absence in the jungle of any marked seasons," said Mr. Wells. "You will find birds nesting .in one free and the same-kind of birds moulting in another. You may have a tree in your garden with fruit whilo your neighbor has the same tree blossoming. "The jungle is still the homo of tigers, . panthers, - elephants, rhinoceroses and snakes thirty foot long. There are butterflies more .than a foot wide. "The Malay bird, a small paroquet, called serindt, sleeps upside down. Another, bird, tlie bustard quail, is peculiar because the female is larger than the male. ��� She lays "the eggs and he sits on them, and during' tho mating season she lights for-him. " "The most amazing animal is a native Ash which-seldom is seen in the water: ,1 saw one come out of a hole in the ground, hop, skip, jump and walk to a tree-and climb up it. The fish seem to feel the heat, because one can see them walk down trees lo pools, where they take baths. This fish is named by scientists periopthal- xnus, or funny fish. "Crabs eat cocoanuts, fish eat coral, and rats live in tops of tall trees. There seems to-be a biggest and a smallest everything. There's the biggest insect in the world, thirteen inches long, and the smallest mam- malywhich weighs less than an ounce." Mr. Wells showed slides of all the animals and contlitions he described. He also demonstrated how the natives make fire by compressing nir at such a degree of heat in a little bone cy'nider that a spark is produced. '" Task For the.

Freak Establishments Where Alliga- .tors, Ostriches and Butterflies Are Raised In the language of Southern California, "farm" is the word commonly used to describe a freak establishment, like the alligator nursery. It it is a place where one raises oranges or lemons, it is a grove.- -Cattle, hogs? beans, beets or kindred products come from a ranch. Freak farms are on_the increase and the increase is not altogether welcome. The chamber of "commerce of Los Angeles issued a friendly warning to new settlers that there really is no room for more fur-bearing rabbit farms and that- "the individual investor wlio en-' ters the rabbit breeding.industry for the purpose of selling furs will find himself disappointed." 'So far, however,"the alligator farm sphere does not bcem to be " overcrowded, and there are at. .least two prosperous osts;lch farms, a goldfish farm, u Hon farm, two butterfly farms, a, frog farm; several silver fox farms and a number of pigeon farms. And Now" Synthetic Rubber Germans Claim to Produce Synthetic ���Rubber From Potatoes Gorman scientists have succeeded In producing synthetic rubber from potatoes. The synthetic product is said Jo compare^ favorably in elasticity with the distilled sap .or rubber trees. According to Chemiker Zeltung, the discovery was accidental. Various chemists, endeavoring to establish the chemical composition of India rubber, isolated Isopren, the most important ingredient of rubber. Isopren, it was found, is contained iu potatoes. The chemists abandoned their original research and, concentrating ou potatoes, developed a method of combining, the potato Isopren witli other chemicals to produce synthetic rubber.

W"'' 7W ��� :/WW W;' H ere an dll lere _i Basking- in brilliant autumn sunshine, the coast of British Columbia offers a striking contrast to tlie severe winter weather already making itself felt in other parts of Canada. On the Coast, golf courses are crowded, the ocean is clotted with figures of bathers taking tlicir daily dip, and pleasure craft still ply the waters. One hundred thousand dollars' worth of Black Fox puppies were shipped to Antwerp on the Canadian Pacific liner "Melita" recently. In specially built.cages thcy will bc conveyed by the Dominion Express! across Europe to the farm in Switzerland where thcy will form the nucleus of a fox-breeding establishment. Another instance of foolhardiness. A recent report from IIullvis to the effect that an automobile, travelling at high speed, crashed through both gaiis at the Chelsea Road level crossing just as they were being lowered to stop traffic so that a light engine should pass. The automobile smashed its way over the tracks barely two feet ahead of the locomotive. .... Arthur Edward Shave, in the employ of the Canadian Pacific Railway since August 18, 190S, when he was appointed clerk in the office of tlie Treasurer, has been appointed assistant treasurer of the company. Mr. Shave became assistant chief clerk in the office of the Treasurer in 1915 and was promoted Chief Clerk in 1919. The apple is a typical Canadian fruit and among the finest grown in' the Dominion. It is incomparable as a Christmas gift for friends and relatives in Great Britain. In order to facilitate shipments, the Dominion Express Company are offering special rates.

According to an estimate made by Quebec Automobile Club officials from data supplied by transportation companies and garages, 200,000 tourists have already passed- through Qjcbcc this year. This, it is explained, is an increase of twenty per cent. over the" total for the whole of last year. Building permits issued in Winnipeg since the beginning of the current year to date have topped the three million dollar mark, being 83,034,840 for 1,704 structures. For the corresponding period of last year the total was $2,2S9.450 for 1,733 buildings, an' increase in value for this year of $745,390. Heavy shipments of this season's crop of potatoes in Fredericton, N.B., are now being made to the Cuban market from the potato belt on the Upper St. John River, according to the provincial superintendent of the- crops and soil division of the Department of Agriculture.

Philip Moore, Princeton Graduate, big game hunter, war veteran, aiid mountain climber, is so =well known in the Canadian Pacific Rockies that, as one guide put it, "he hails a grizzly when it passes him and asks after its missus' and thc cubs." *' Ever since Col. Mooye first visited the mountainous regions of Alberta and British Columbia, he has managed to spend part of each year hunting, camping,, and climb- ing'mountains. He-returned recently from a summer en- joyedin Yoho Valley, where he added a few more miles to his 2,500 mile record on horseback as a member of the Trail Riders ofthe Canadian Rockies. .' The building of good roads through the mountains and the resultant growth in automobile traffic is a new 'feature which adds greatly to the increase in tourists. The opening of the Banif Windermere road, and the road from Lake Louise to Wapta, thus making a splendid highway all tho way from Calgary through the Kickhig rCOl- PHILIP ^ MP.ORE* Horse pass and the valley of the Yoho, has* given tourists glimpses of wonderful precipitous canyons topped by some of the most majestic ice-clad peaks in the Rockies. Then, too, the growth of the bungalow camp idea has been phenomenal this season. Those whom the palatial summer hotels d: not attract "-yield to the lure of log cabins, perched on the shore of a crystal lake, and shadowed by overhanging mountain peaks. With a haversack on one's back, one may hike from camp to camp, or, if one does not scorn the saddle, ride a pony along the leafy trails. All these pleasures Col. Moore has pfoved, and intends to lecture this winter, as he has been doing for a number of years, about the marvelous beauty' of his. beloved- mountains. He is not selfish. He wishes others to share the ���joys of the "lone trail" which has lured him into .mountain fastnesses ever since he forsook the academic halls of Princeton. -^ <i FOR REPAIR WORK ��� look up tlu:.
