George was abroad the Duke* of Edinburgh when that ship took part in the naval battle,of Jutland. He gives a graphic description of the battle, and states that the Germans lost more ships than they admitted, and thinks that it will be a lobg time before another naval engagement occurs.

At this action it became necessary for an officer to send a report immediately to his superior, bnt at thejjime the German fire was too intense to allow a man to cross the fire zonp, and "Marquis" was charged with the mission. Off he ran, across the fire-swept zone, and arrived nearly at the objective point, when a German ball struck him in the right side and brought him down. He straggled to his feet, though losing a great deal of blood, and dragged himself np to the position where the officer was directing a section of machine gans. He let fall the order, reddened by his blood, and breathed his last. His soldier comrades are raising a fond for a monument' on which is to be inscribed, "Marquis���Killed on the Field of Honor."

Two more lead furnaces have been added to. the Northport smelter. Copper bearing zones in gabbro have been discovered at Jordan river. Some copper properties are to be developed on Indian river, about 40 miles from Vancouver. The closing of so many mines in Mexico, bas decreased the output of copper in America, 5,000 tons monthly. * About 20 miles north of Revelstoke, on Laforme creek, Bob Grimes is developing a galena property. The Gladstone near the Lanark is under option to a Spokane company. Years ago this mine shipped to Swansea. Several men from Merritt have located a group of asbestos claims, in the Douglas lake "district. Work on them will begin in the fall. The amount of gold received at the Dominion government: assay office in Vancouver, for the year ending March 31, was $2,708,000. The Sullivan in East Kootenay is one of the best galena mines in America. The ore bodies have been proved over a distance of two miles. Additional machinery has been put in tha Star mill at Sandon. The lead and zinc ores will be almost completely separated by the new; machinery. The St Eugene at Moyie has produced more than . $10,000,000 worth of lead and silver. It is now being worked by leasers, its proved ore deposits haying been exhausted. Work will begin at once, on the coal rhines at Seaton 20 mileefrom Hazelton by the Wright Coal Mining Co. The product is a bituminous coking coal,^ and the company expects to be shipping 300 daily before the end of July. The Lanark mine is within 20 miles east of Revelstoke on the C.P.R. When the Horn-Payne operated it in early days, $800,000 worth of ore was taken out in three years. About two years ago W. B. Dornberg of Spokane examined and bought the property for its present owners. Good values and big ore bodies of galena in all the different levels. The company is shipping regularly and has already this spring sent 400 tons to Trail. The ore is trammed a mile to the railway. According to advices from Boston, the DuPont Powder Company has completed arrangements for a $10,000,000 subsidiary company which will operate exclusively in Canada. The company bas secured water power and other properties on the Sangauney river in Quebec and will soon commence the erection of a plant'. The product will be nitrogen, which will in due time be applied to the manufacture of high explosives at the company's plant in the United -states. :v. Advices from Port Ai thur state that there is much more interest being taken in mining in that district this year than thpre I-as been for several years. A promising looking copper prospi'ot- has been discovered at Mine Centre, about 190 miles vrpst of Port Arthur, on the Canadian Northern Railway. Some ore will be ehippedtp. Trail, B. C. for testing.

AYE WANT SQUARE MEN The political life of Canada is 1 _rgely rotten, and thickly spat- toted with ilesh-pot grabbers. Crazed with ambition, and filled wifeh the lust for easy money these whitewashed bandits, posing ae j;..]itica_os, are seeking to gain the (.nth without using a gun on the highway. Canada needs in all its governments square men, who are too courageous to lie, and too hon est to deal from tbe bottom. J. G. Holland voices our sentiments in tho following lines: God give us men. The time demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and willing hands; Men who the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; M.;i who have honor; men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue; And damn his treacherous flatteries with, out winking; Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking! For while the rabble with their thumb- worn creeds, Their large professions and their little deeds Mingle in selfish strife; lo! Freedom weeps! Wrong rules the land, and waiting Justice sleeps! TYPHOID FEVER The season for typhoid is rapidly approaching, and it behooves the people to be on their guard against this dreaded disease. It usually enters the Bystem through infected milk or contaminated water, or contaminated food. Oysters, green vegetables, which have been fertilized by sewage are potent carriers of typhoid. Keep your eye on vegetables sold by Chinamen. We must eat or drink the germs in order to get the disease It does not come in the air. Cooking fruits, oysters and vegetables, and boiling water and milk two effectual methode of preventing. Atways keep your hands clean when in proximity of typhoid patients. The soldiers in the slimy trenches of Europe are freer from typhoid than the rich people who live upon American boulevards. This is due to the practice of the typhoid vaccination. It is not painful to be vaccinated with the typhoid serum. It consists of three hypodermic injections given at certain intervals. Several laboratories in the United States prepare this vaccine, and its use fairly guarantees against typhoid for two or three years. It is a short trench that has no dead rats.

TRANSFER OF LICENSE Editor Ledge Dear Sir. The water was turned on yesterday at the John Houston Memorial. The first team of horses to approach it were hitched to an ice wagon, and they refused to drink. Perhaps the horses knew .hat the monument was cut by non-union labor from Austria.

Prohibition Acfe, on which the electors of British Co lumbia will be asked to register tht-ir opinions at the polls, is not a prohibition act in any sense of the term. So contrary ia it to the terms of prohibition that prohibitionists themselves are freely criticising the measure and the man who is neither "wet" or ''dry" is asked the pointed question as to what will be secured by the bill save the building up of industry and trade at points outside the province. All of which goes to show that it is advisable that the electors who desire to vote intelligently on the subject should carefully,, examine the Act before election day. The "wide open" clause of the Act, Clause 57, reads in part as follows: "NOTHING IN THIS ACT SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO INTERFERE "(a) WITH THE RIGHT OF ANY PERSON TO IMPORT FROM WITHOUT THE PROVINCE LIQUOR FOR BONA FIDE USE IN HIS PRIVATE DWELLING HOUSE " This clause means that any resident of the province is allowed to purchase all the liquor he desires, just as often as he wishes, without, control or regulation by tbe government, so long as he sends his money outside the province-for his supply. This clause would, for instance, allow any person to place a standing order with any liquor dealer outside the province for a weekly or monthly shipment of whiskey to be delivered to his dwelling. On such an order the supply of liquor would reach him constantly as long as he met the bills. In the face of such conditions the question might well be asked "Is this Prohibition?" In the preliminary campaign in connection with the bill and at the present time prohibitionists have made a grand stand play, both on fehe platform and through their propaganda literature, of the drunkard and the frightful evils which accompany drinking. Yet, iu the bill for which they themselves are admittedly entirely responsible they have done absolutely nothing to lessen the consumption of liquor in British Columbia, the sole effect of the legislation being to send money spent for liquor outside the province. Incidentally ife may be mentioned thafe the drunkard who already has the taste and habit, is the man most likely to be the firsfc to take advantage of the privilege to buy outside and, shduld the Act pass, would therefore have liquor in quantity in his home whereas he now takes his liquor by the glass. As the small boy wonld say "What's the use?" THE GREAT QUESTION LYING BEHIND THE REFERENDUM VOTE ON THE PROHIBITION QUESTION IS WHETHER THE REGULATED SALE ��� OF LIQUOR UNDE R GO V- ERNMENT LICENSE AND THE CONTROL IS NOT BETTER THAN THE UNR EGULATED AND UNRESTRICTED IMPORTATION OF LIQUOR FROM OUTSIDE POINTS.
