The quail's decreasing numbere make it apparent that he cannot be saved from extinction, if classed only as a game-blfcd.

He was brought before W. R. Dewdney, S. M., on Monday, and sent three months to Nelson jail. T. J. Corwin came in last week with a carload of ore from the Aberdeen mine, near Merritt. Two more carloads- will arrive I'this week from the same mine. Some of the Aberdeen ore runs as high as 60 per cent, copper. The freight rate on ore from Merritt to Greenwood is about $3.50 a ton. A police magibtrate -when paid a big salary by the taxpayers, for practically doing nothing, should be loyal to his town and neighbors. When he descends* to petty, mean, sneaking and spiteful acts, in an attempt to ruin local business men, and worthy citizens who are holding positions of trust and responsibility he becomes a companion creature to the viper that bites the hand that feeds it, and the bird that befouls its own nest. Canada Copper I Western Float Canadian fruit is being sold in Brazil. Barkerville has put on a night- British recommended The most recent report from the Canada Copper Corporation stateB that there has been' developed to date at its Copper Mountain property approximately 10,900,000 tonB of ore of an average grade of 1.75 per cent, copper, or 35 pounds per ton, with an estimated recoverable value of 20c. per ton in gold and silver. The erection of a plant of 2.000 tons daily capacity to treat the ores at Copper Mountain, Columbia has been by the company's consulting engineer. With the completion of this plant, the company, will be able to produce at the rate of 60,- 000 pounds of copper daily, or 22,6000,000 pounds per annum. The estimated cost of production ip 8^e. per pound of copper. This would leave an average net profit of 6ic. per pound, or $1,474,000 per annum, with copper selling at 15c. per pound. This would insure earnings at the rate of 91c. per Bhare, with all the bonds converted into stock including the last isssue of $2,000,000. It is estimated that a maximum of $2,000,000 will be required to place the property on a 2,000-ton basiB. This will include concentrator, power plant, general development work and also complete payment on claims nndsr option. All ores will be extracted by means of a tunnel; approximately 50 per cent.' by the open-cut glory-hole method. It is estimated that the cost of production during this stage will not exceed S.l c. for copper after crediting gold aud silver values, and the cost of production from the deeper oi;es will not exceed 10^c. cost, the profit will be reduced to 67c. per share. Canada Copper has deve^ped a fair Bized mine, and with the successful financing of its new bond issue it bids fair ts euter tbe ranks of the low-piiced copper issues in the near future as a dividend paying proposition. As an evidence of their faith in the successful outcome of the Canada Copper Corporation's Copper Mountain property, the Canadian Pacific engineers, who have kept in close touch with developments at Copper Mountain; have decided to run \\ spur to the mines from Princeton, a distance of 12 miles in air line. The location has been practically determined, and when the matter Of rates has been adjusted active construction will be started.���__?���.. Y. Mining Age, Patriotic Self-Denial Ftind watchman.

So much snow fell in Victoria last week that the, street cars had to stop running, and the police- had to wear snowshoes. Victoria has not had such weather since 1862. In New Denver laBt week John "The boys and girls attending the Greenwood Public School aiid the schools in the district are doing "their little bit" by making a monthly subscription to the Canadian Patriotic Fund, the little tots and older pupils alike participating in this effort. The monthly subscription which is limited to 25c, is entirely voluntary and must be the result of some act of self-denial. That is, it must be given from their pocket money or may be taken from any money they may earn by performing some little piece of work. It is emphasised very clearly to the children thai) they must not ask their parents for a contribution to their Patriotic Fund. The money obtained in this way from the various schools will be handed to the Principal of the Greenwood School, and will tnen be deposited monthly in the b__nk to the credit of th.e schools. Although the fund was started only in the last week of January, the sen of $10.20 was raised and placed to its credit. Every month " a report of the money raised by the various schools will be Published in- The Ledge. Tbe fund which was introduced by Inspectot Miller and has the support of the Trustees is in vogue throughout the district, and it is hoped that Greenwood and district will live up ' io Kb reputation and come out witih flying colours. Boil the Water Dr. Arnott has suggested to The Ledge that the attention of the citizens be called to the importance and neoessity of boiling all water used for drinking purposes during the period of .water shortage. When water has to be carried and the utensils in which it is cat tied are often taken tip at random and iu a hurry, and when the water is left standing in various tubs, pails and vessels, uncovered and exposed to dust, "there is a very great danger of "contamination and possible'' disease. Every household should carefully boil up a tcettle full of water every day���boil it for twenty minutes, then set it apart in clean covered jars in a cold place. When well cooled it will be found quite palatable and safe for drinking purposes. Chesaw The Copper lying just Mountain region, Chesaw and east ot Myers Creek valley, and extending southward from the international boundary line for many miles, is virtually a vast field of ore. The lodes carry gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc, varying with the locality, but copper is the paramount value faking the mountain as a whole. In character there ia some very high grade ore, but all through tha hill is what might properly be termed a high- low- grade proposition. Ore running only a quarter as good as this district is making some cam pe rich where rail transportation is reasonably near, or where homj reduc- 58 tion is available.

Now is the winter of our discontent, made dismal by the grippe, frozen water pipes, lean coal bins, and a prolonged shortage of green onions. It is reported that this spring the big drive by the Allies will force the Germans out of Belgium. This spring the big drive by the weather will force all the grippe out of Canada. This winter has made many wish, for the coming of the season, when tbe grand passion awakens with fresh vigor, the robins nest, the flowers bloom, and mother gives us daily doses of sulphur and molasses. It is reported that the Consolidated will put a big crew of men to work on the Highland jnst as soon as there is sufficient water running to allow of a resumption of operations. Mike Walsh has returned to this section from near Creston, where he is interested in a copper proposition that he has been working on for a number of years. Dan McPhail was down a few days ago from the Bell, in the Jackson basin, and is enthusiastic about the possibilities of that property. He states that at one point there is a good five feet of solid ore in sight, and that all the indications are there that go to show the possibility of it being a mine. For mauy years the Bell, like many another promising property in this district, has lain idle, with no one, apparently having gumption enough to get busy and endeavor to stir up something. The late Geo. Hughes did some work on the claim in the early days, but at that time the zinc contents in the ore proved a handicap. Some Sandon leasers tackled it about ten years ago, but they lacked capital. Outside of that it is evident that very little has been done. Mr. McPhail is strongly of the opinion that Charles F. Caldwell is entitled to a great deal of praise for the energetic way in which he is starting out to secure capital for the development of mining propositions in this district. The Bell was examined last week on behalf of Spokane capitalists by Y. W. Williams, of Spokane, whose report on a mining proposition is said to carry a great deal of weight. He was associated with J. P.* Graves In the famous Granby enterprise, the success of which is one of the brightest things in the annals of British Columbia mining. ���Kaslo Kootenaian. and Fort George, 1,814. Timber sales recorded during the month under review cover an estimated total of 7,263,000 ft. sawlogs, 22,920 liueal feet poles and piles, and 200 cords ties, etc., estimated to produce a revenue of $12,213. Reduced Prices ���IN��� Now that new Parliament buildings have to be ereeted, it would be a good time to move the capital of Canada, from Ottawa to Winnipeg. The west will soon be the greater part of Canada, and Winnipeg is more centrally situated than Ottawa. Fiio_-t our perch in the mountains it looks as though the Parliament buildings in Ottawa were destroyed by an enemy, a fanatic, or gross carlessness. If by an enemy then look for the unexpected. Look within the corral, for gold is mighty, and enough of it with some people will -bring to pass almost anything that is pos sible. In forcing the present police magistrate upon the people of Greenwood, and making the taxpayers pay his salary, the B. G. Government is doing this city an injustice, and not gaining any 0 edit for itself, as a "business" organization. It surely is not bMSinesB for a government to force any community to pay hundreds of dollars, in Order to hold a police court two or three times a year. Ife looks like rotten politics to permit such an injustice to the taxpayers of this city. You cannot win by opposing the wishes of the people. If the government wishes to acquire and maintain a reputation for business, it will immediately look into the police magistrate situation at Greenwood. Better be warned openly by a friend, than stabbed in the back by an enemy. There are five Tuesdays in this month. Timber Statement Victoria, B.
