The Miner was established by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. After leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, Houston established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. The Miner was published by The Miner Printing and Publishing Company, and the paper's longest-serving editor was D. J. Beaton. The Miner was published under two variant titles, the Nelson Weekly Miner and the Weekly Miner. In 1902, the paper was sold to F. J.

THE TRANSVAAL. CRISIS. Ilrilish Agent lo Report. Hammond Cries Kor Help. Londou: In view ol' the alarming stories the Secretary of State lor the Colonies, Kt. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, has ordered the British agent at Pretoria, the capital, to go to Johannesburg and \"reporfthe'true\"situcTtiou^bf\"affairs to~the~ colonial ollice. According to the latest advices everything is unsettled at that point and there are no signs of the resumption of busiuess. It is rumored the government is contemplating another coup involving additional arrest of prominent men in Johannesburg. New York: The Journal ' prints a dispatch from John Hayes Hammond, the American engineer who is imprisoned in tlie Transvaal, which concludes: ���������'Detention of all prisoners unjustifiable confiscation of property- a monstrous oppression; ask our goverumentto urge on the Transvaal government that the demands ol! the reform committee were leasonable and. based ou the primary principles oC the republic. , Protest agaiust the treatment of till Americans in particular. If the Transvaal govern meat persists in its present course our government can only evoke the aid of Grteat Britain as the parnmout South African power to coerce the Transvaal, This of course the Transvaal would fear.

Mr. Pellew-Harvey has submitted - a proposition to the city council of Vancouver to start a smelter there. The council will consider it during this week. A bond has been arranged with parties in England giving them 6 months in which to prospect the Swan Lake claim near Vernon and then to have the option or taking it.up at. 8200,000. Mr. .\"I. A. Mara M. P. introduced Messrs. Young and Morgan to Mr. Wood Controller of Customs.-. These gentlemen are respectively president and manager of the Pittsburg Mining Co. which is operating at Lytton and Quesnelle. The company is about to import a new class of mining machinery to enable them to dredge the river in rapid water, and is anxious to secure permission to import dutyfiee. * _ Two new miuing companies have been incorporated, both with their headofliees at Vancouver. The one, the Nip and Tuck Gold Mining Co., is formed with a capital stock of ������15,000, to develop the Nip and Tuck claim on Wild Horse creek, Kootenay,1 and as its first trustees A_ McCreery, J. M. Buxton aud \"W. H. Carnsnew. The other is known as the Golden . Gate Miuing Co., of Granite Creek, and*is capitalized at 860,000. Henry D. Peccier, D. G. Macdonell aud M. P. Thomson are the trustees. ��������� IFrom our own Correspondent.] Beautiful weather, no.ice and snow going down. Wm. Bragg has sold out his cartage business to A. L. Move, who is now looking after the wants of the town. Mr. D. McKay, condu.tbr on the N. & S'-Ry. has built a comfortable house on Lake Avenue, he is now, moving in. Captain and Mrs. Moore of the con-i eentrator, Three Forks, were passengers on Saturdays boat, en route to the coast. ;*' Mrs. C. W. Vanderburg, widow \"of the late Captain Vanderburg of the str. Arrow has moved into town from her house across the lake. ��������� ��������� Mr. Tilly late wharfinger ab this point, has been transferred to Sandon to take charge there in the place of P. T. Hamilton. The town has a business like appearance when the boat comes in, especially on her way up the lake, as it takes all available hands to assist in loading the ore, which is' coining in rapidly from the Slocan. Mr. James Kelly leaves by next boat for the Needles to put up a house on his pre-emption so as to be ready for the rush in the spring, which he confidently anticipates. Mr. Kelly is alive to the possibilities of this new camp and is getting in cm the ground floor. The s.s. Nakusp has been particularly busy since the Arrow lake branch has reached the lake. On Saturday, 1st. she took up 240 tons of ore returning on Sunday morning with 90 tons of hay, oats, flour, and machinery. Sh* left again before noon with 120 tons of ore for Arrowhead. There are still several car loads ou the dock waiting to be taken up. ROSSLAND. AV. S. Jones will open an office as customs broker. Tramway affairs appear to he \"quiet, aud work is progressing. The Cliff mine has purchased an air drill from the Band Drill Co. The Crown Point is working 20 meu aud has nearly 1000 tons ready for shipment. The Homestake, which was recently bonded by Arancouver capitalists has commenced shipping. The output ol! the Le Roi has now reached 125 tons a day. It has been over 100 ever since thc first of the year. '������������������''Nothing definite- will be doue- r������bou. tbe War Eagle Smelter until something is decided about the routes of the various raihvay schemes. A petition is beiug prepared by Mr. Boultbee for the incorporation of the town in accordance, with tbe resolutions passed at the meetings last week. The ore now beiug shipped from the Iron Mask contains, gold 2.5 ounces, silver 4.5 ounces aud copper 9 per cent. The O.K. ore has gold 3.8 ouuees, silver 15.2 ounces. On the Centre Star crosscuts are being pushed ahead from the main tunnel. They have already developed a width of 70 teet iu the ore body. Reduction works for this company will probably be built. The O. K. mine will put in a 10 stamp mill in the spring. After many vicissi- tudes~the~niain���������tunnel~is now-iu-seven* feet of ore which gives every indication of beiug a true contact vein. Mr. Kirk, P. L. S., is preparing anew map ot Rossland and the surrounding claims. He has discovered, according to the Rosslaud Miner, that P. J. Ritchie's original survey of the townsite is considerably out. It is uot laid out on true north and south lines as the law directs. ' Every week seems to increase the value\" of the Le Roi. At thc 350 foot level they are in 15 feet of clean ore and have not yet found the walls. -A new double compartment shaft has been commenced just to the eastofthe preseut workings. When this is finished the output mny reach 400 tous a day. The following oflicers and board of trustees of the Iron Mask Miniug Co. have been elected in Spokane. President John A. Finch. Vice-President, Patrick Clark. Treasurer, Austin Corbin. F. E. Lucas, Secretary. The board ot trustees consists of these aud the following; A. 13. Campbell, . A. M. Holter, and Peter Larsen. This company together with the Virginia aud Poorman is controlled by the War Eaglo Co. ���������, -IIDWAV. ... Mr.' S. S. Fowler in the Advance, combats Mr. Pellew Harvey's statement-that the ores of Fairview, Boundary, Osoysoos and Vale are not adapted to the smelting process, but rather to amalgamation, chlorination andcyaniding. The Monarch has-been bonded to the Montreal syndicate which is represented by Mr. F. C. Innes of Vancouver. The terms of the bond are $1250 down and three equal instalments of ������3750 each on' -August 1, November I, 1S96 aud January 1. 1897. The Monarch was located in 1S93, lt lies parallel to the Gold \"Drop which is already under bond tothe same syndicate. The Gold Drop is a .outh east extension of the celebrated Snow-shoe claim. THE ALBERNI GOLD FIELD. AiiBebki, B.C. Jan. 23. To The Kditor of Tub Mi.nkk. Having in the two previous letters covered in a hasty manner the various quartz interests in this section, we will now glance at the placer and hydraulic ground. In point of age the latter rank first by a number of years. China Creek takes its name from the fact that as far back as the sixties a number of Chinamen were making a living by sluicing and rocking the rim gravel along the banks of the stream. The few white men in the country at that time took only a languid interest in the matter and after a few feeble attempts abandoned the creek. . A few .years ago this ground was again prospected, and its true value ascertained, and the creek staked for hydraulic purposes from end to end. At first the relocators of this' abandoned ground received very little encouragement. Chinamen are all very reticent about their gains, and no one knew more than that, they had worked the creek for a long- time and then abandoned it. Gradually, howevet, as the work of the new owners progressed the evidences of value grew stronger tmd more numerous. Companies were formed and the greater part of last year was spent in development work on a large scale. None of the claims are yet prepared to turn on *a head, but at least two of them will do so in ���������the spring. The leading hydraulic leases are the Cataract, Duke of York and Constance. On the Cataract, lease a big dam has been put in and the bed cleared for a big.flume over a mile long. A sawmill is in place on the claim and the construction of the flume will begin as soon as the material is out. The ditch will give a splendid head of water. A penstock pipe and giant are ready on the ground and this will probably be the first company to move dirt. The Duke of York lease lies just to the northeast of the Cataract. The company has had a gang of men at work all summer and up to the end of the year. The J work is practically closed down now but will be resumed in the spring. Still further up the creek is the Constance lease. Several shafts have been sunk to bed rock and considerable other prospecting work done by the company. These claims are in the hands of men able to work them to a finish. The past season's work has shown them to be of far greater value than was expected when operations began. From bench to bedrock the colors are found in every pan washed. The gold is there and the problem of how to get it will b������ solved in the next six months. Almost every stream.in this district responds with colors to the pan test; ��������� Down the canal, at Granite .creek, an \"at ternpt at'plaeer\" work\" was \"made and abandoned ou account of the mass of boulders that line the creek from bank to bed rock. A cheap and effective means of handling these would, make the ground very valuable. Judging from present indications, and the vast amount of ground yet unprospected, the future of placer mining in this section is assured. The only point to be considered is the fact that somewhat more than the ordinary amount of capital will be required to woi'k the ground* Chek Chako. .PROVINCIAL PARLIAMENT. DIVORCE IN B. C. f-ome doubt has arisen as to whether the Supreme Court of British Columbia has the right t.o hear divorce cases or not. The Chief Justice has brought the matter to a head by refusing tD hear motions in cases until it is r.eltled. The following day however-Mr. Justice Drake had no such scruples. 0He heard and j settled the point In answer to a question on January 31 as to what was going to be done to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court bench caused by the retirement oJSir Hemy Crease, and whether the new judge when-appointed���������shall-be - required-to reside in Vancouver, Mr. Eberts said that Sir Henry's retirement only took place ou the 20th.. and nothing had been done yet. Dr. RogerR presented petitions' for a private bill for a railway to Cariboo. In answer to questions it was stated that $7,500 has been handed to Chief Justice Davie on account of the Statutes Revisions and he has made all necessary disbursements out of this sum. The total cost, of the revision is expected to be $25,000. The defalcations of the two Registrars of the Supreme Court were; Falding $1,416.27 aud Prevost $22,596.14. The government was covered iu the latter case by a policy in the guarantee company of North America for $1,500. Mr. Kellie is asking: 1. How many owners of mineral claims have paid into the provincial treasury $100 in lieu of performing the annual amount of assessment work required by the mineral act. 2. AA'hat amount has AVest Kootenay contributed in lieu of assessment work. AVhat is the total amount derived from the above sources. Hon. Col. Baker answered to' question 1, 5; to question 2, 8300; to question 3, 8500. Mr. Kellie's bill respecting wages gives employes a preferred claim for three months' pay in case, of assignment, liquidation or seizure, the act to be. applicable whether \" the [wages of the persons employed be payable by the day, week, job, piece or otherwise.

Andy Dolan is cutting ice ou the lower bay. He hopes to get about 600 tons. A social entertainment took place last night at the Presbyterian church. It was very well attended and everyone enjoyed themselves. >< A Provincial Mining Association has been formed at Vancouver. The first meeting is to be held here at Nelson on April 7. Five hundred tons of lime rock have been shipped from the Blue Bell to Pilot Bay and Nelson during the month of January. A. M. Johnston has. successfully passed his final examination as a bhrristei anil solicitor. On his return to Nelson he will probably open un office and go into business on his own account. A few men are beginning to make their way towards Slocan City, going up the river trail. This may possibly be the earliest spring sign of the rush that is to come next summer. The Mining and Scientific Journal of San Francisco of February 1, contains a long account and five views of the Hall Mines AVire tramway. The views are exceedingly well executed from photographs taken \"by Neelands Bros, of Nelson. The time for mceiving suggestions in The Miner Competition on the amendment ofthe mining laws will positively close on Saturday next loth. Some have already been received and we hope that our readers will show their interest in the matter by sending in a large number. The three mile skating race for a purse of 825 and the championship of British Columbia came off at the skating rink on Thursday evening. The hard frosts of the preceeding nights had put the ice into good oondition and considerable interest was manifested in the race. The competitors were H. Donough and Sandy Mills. The former won easily. The time was not a record. There is a lumber famine in Nelson at. present.. The place is growing and would grow still faster if the people could only get houses to live in. One builder informs us that he is now figuring on four dwelling houses but does not know where to get the lumber. The smelter people also are supposed to want a la-ge quantity. It is not likely that this kind of want will go begging for long, and we already hear rumors of an enterprising firm getting ready to till the requirements of the place. The Birthday party held in the Metho dist church on AVednesday, evening attained n-sucoess that was most gratifying to all concerned. The attendance was good, the programme rather Hhort but of excellent quality throughout, the refreshments choice and the proceeds (applied to liquidating balance due on bell) $50. Of the items ou the programme the male quartettes by Messrs. Hull, Smith, J. E. Turner and AV. B. Shaw, the solo by Miss Sansom and the recitation by Miss Eva MacKay are worthy of special mention. AVe have received the first copy of \"Mining\" a new journal published in Spokane as the journal of the North wesi Miniug Association. It contains several interesting articles including the address of Mr. J. B. Dennis president ot the Association. Two of these specially relate to British Columbia. The Slocau Country bv C. F. Caldwell, and The Auriferous Gravels of B. C. by J.M. B111- Jton. AVe notice that, thepublication commences with a \"list \"of officers and committees of the Northwest Miniug Association.J ��������� Of these officers there are about 200, but there do not appear to be any ordinary members. ., -, KOOTENAY DIVIDENDS. The Le Roi Mining & Smelting Co declared a dividend of 850,000 payable on the 1st. iii st. equal to 10 cents a share. This makes $75,000 paid within the past few months. ' ANOTHER CARNIVAL. A Long List of Numerous and Valuable I'rhe-. On Thursday next the skating rink will probably bo crowded with a dazzling mob of queens nnd beggars and turks and troubadours and mysterious fat men and all the motley crowd that is only too glad of the opportunity to enjoy itself. AA'ith customary liberality the merchants and storekeepers of Nelson have come forward and offered prizes for various excellencies of \"costume. Altogether there are 16 prizes, the list of which with their-intentions will be duly advertised by hand bills. These will be distributed broad cast on Monday. CHURCH NOTICES.

QLADE'S TBEATMKNT. \"Was that Miss Glade I saw driving away as I came in?\" asked Maj. Passmore, removing his glasses. \"It was Dr. Glade.\" replied his sister. \"Doctor; fudge! The idea of calling a young woman fresh from college a doctor.\" ��������� Maj. Passmore was a tall, gray-haired skeptic of sixty; his sister, Ruth, a shrinking little spinster of fifty. \"Well, what (lid she say? Is Connie any better?\" asked flie major, testily. \"Dr. Glade said she was making satisfactory progress \" .\"Progress: Hum! It's my belief she's getting weaker every day.\" '.'Now, Roger, you know better.\" ' \"Now, Ruth, you will'pardon my blunt- ness, but your simple'faith in this Miss Glade is extremely childish.\" ��������� ��������� ��������� \"Dr. Glade lias done her good,\" said Aunt Ruth-, assertively. - \"Not a bit. We have been at Hastings now a mouth;' her ' cough has grown worse, her cheeks paler, she's more languid and indifferent' aud her appetite is entirely gone.\" \"It's taken time to comprehend her case.\" , \"Rubbish! Dr. Lance wood understood her cwie, a'nd it's my opinion you made: a grave mistake .when you left home and took the case out of his hands.\" \"Dr. Lancewood did nothing to benefit her; and, besides, he recommended Hastings.\" \"But not a female practitioner; who, I'm convinced, is letting her drift into consumption. So I've sent for'Dr. Lance* wood to come down.\" \"What will Dr. Glade think?\" \"I don't care whut Miss Glade thinks. Connie's life is in danger, and I sha'n't put up.with this feminine nonsense'any' .longer.' I wrote to him yesterday, and asked him to wire when he could coiu'e down.\" '.\"Well, all I can say is, it's an insult to Dr.. Glade. And if I were in her place, I should throw up the \"case,\", said Miss Ruth Passmore, indignantly, as she left the room. *' -Maj. Roger and Miss Ruth Passmore, of Passmore, Grange, ..Hampshire, - were the . guardians of their, niece, Miss . Constance Passmore, who had been ailing since the Christmas festivities.' ���������- Dr. Lnncuwood, ' their local practitioner, had lieen unable to discover anything seriously the matter . with the young lady, so that when Aunt Ruth suggested the month of March at Hastings; he readily admitted it might do her good. Constance Passmore was an heiress; a romantic, fragile' blonde of twenty, being somewhat delicate, she hud been a petted ' child; and nothing thnt wealth and devotion could procure had been denied her as u girl. \" ��������� ;��������� 'When Dr. Helen Glade took her case in -handy-she _wasj.gr_n.iy_ perplexed- how_to- pi-scrib. for tlie symptoms. Hut gradually she began to sec'that.-it was an ailment seldom met with |ft hospital practice, \"On Christmas night, after having been nil day very merry, facetious, and devoted, you found yourselves alone in the���������the conservatory?\" \"No, it was the library.\" ' \"Ah, the library. \"Yes, well?\" \"I had been reading 'The Newcomes,' and I asked him if he had ever read it. \"Wasn't it odd?\" \"It was. So he asked you how you liked Ethel Newcome?\" \"Yes he did. How strangely you hit upon things.\" \"And he compared you to Ethel (only you were much prettier), antl said: \"If you could only love him as Ethel did Clive, ho would be the happiest fellow in the world.' \" \"Why, Dr. Glade, how could you know that?\" \"Mere conjecture, my dear. But that dear old 'Newcomes' is responsible for many an ill-starred romance in real life. And so you said you could, and you were engaged.\" \"No.\" Connie shook her head sadly. \"Then, what happened���������a quarrel?\" \"Oh, no. AVhen AValter spoke to Uncle Roger, he was in a great rage, and���������and said he should never consent to it. Walter left the next day���������and\"���������with a sob��������� \"we have never seen each otlier since. And uncle won't let me mention his name.\" Dr. Glade regarded her a moment reflectively, and then said: \"AVhat is your cousin ?\" \"A medical student at King's college, London.\" \"His name is Walter���������er��������� ?\" \"AValter Plyne. His mother was poor mamma's sister. Mamma's relations are all poor.\" \"Thank you, my dear, for your confidence. 1 cau now prescribe lor you, I hope, with more success.\" 'ih- next day when she called, Dr. Glade said to Aunt Ruth: \"I should like Miss Connie.to.drive with me this afternoon. I find she wants rousing, and her mind diverting from the subject which I believe you know is depressing her.\". \"Yes, I know what you mean,\" said Aunt Ruth; \"I wish <-Ue could forget it.\" \"lam comparative.y at leisure from two until four in the afternoon, and I shall he glad of her company then:\" That afternoon Dr. Glade and her charming patient drove along the sea front1 in her victoria. .For some time the girl did not spontaneously respond to her companion's cheerful' conversation; but as they were turning they met old Dr. AVrench driving with his new assistant. As they passedboth gentlemen raised their hats. Connie eagerly grasped Dr. Glade's hand, and asked: \"AVho was that gentleman?\"- \"Old Dr. Wrench and his assistant.\" . \"But the other ��������� it is AValter!\" her cheeks suddenly aglow with warm pink tints. ��������� 1 . \"Your Cousin AValter?\" \"Yes. Do you think he noticed nie?\" \"Oh, he must have done so, for he didn't notice me.\" > \"He looked pale, diln't he?\" \"1 don't think so,\" said Dr. Glade, reflectively. ... ' \"And his moustache has grown longer.\" \"Has he got one? I didn't notice it.\" \"What a pity, for I should have been awfully glad to hear of your success.\" AValter reflected a moment (he knew Uncle Roger had destroyed it) and then remarked, as' if to change the subject: \"You have been ill, Connie?\" \"Who told you?\" He smiled faintly as he replied: \"My medical training must have been remiss, if I could not discover that without a stethoscope.\" \"Do I look���������er���������so faded, Walter?\" ;' \"Oh no, not exactly faded; but something - like a budding rose deprived of the \"WHY, DK. GLADE, WOW COULD VOtT KNOW THAT?\" while the remedy was not to- lie found in . the Pharinacopana.

Passmore had '. - keen traducing her, Dr. Glade had diag-' nosed Connie's complaint and settled upon ��������� a decisive remedy. ,_ -- ' ��������� Dr. Helen Glade was a graceful, self- reliant, pale-featured woman of twenty- six, with dark, glossy hair brushed as smoothly over.her brow as its rippling tendency would permit. She said to Connie, on calling that morning: \"I think, iny dear,- I: fully comprehend . your care now. tittle by little I have' learned where you got the germs of the ��������� fever which is prostrating you.\" \"Where did I-get it?\" asked the invalid, languidly reclining on a couch. \"While decorating the Christmas t_.ee, from your cousin.\" - \"Oh, Dr. Gladel\" rising on her elbow, her transparent cheeks aflame. \"Pardon me, my dear, bnt a physician to he of any use to the patient must hare . her full confidence. Did you not feel the first symptoms then?\" \"Yes, but more tke night after,\" shyly. \"Which was Christmas; there had 'beea a family party. For three days Cousin Walter had been very attentive. Am I right?\" ' Her patient nodded -Mint. \"on, WE KNOW EACH OTH-lt ALREADY.\" \"Oh, yes, dark and curly. How long bM he been with Dr. AVrench?\" \"Only a short time, I believe.\" \"He must have obtained his degree.\" \"Certainly, or Dr. AVrench - would not have engaged him.\" \"Oh, I'm so glad 1 For poor Walter has had such a struggle���������it is so expensive-^, nnd the examinations so difficult.\" For-'the'-remainder-of_the\"drive\"Miss~ Connie's animation was in marked contrast with her lassitude earlier in the day. The following afternoon, when Dr. Glade culled, Aunt Ruth timorously said: \"Will you come into the library, Dr. Glade? My brother wished to speak with you about Connie.\" I \"Yes,\" said Uncle Roger,- when they were ���������all three closeted together. \"I���������I wished to ask, Miss Glade, if you would object to a -consultation regarding Connie's case, with our family physician?\" \"Certainly not,\" replied Dr. Glade, \"but I really don't think it necessary.\" \"Possibly not,\" broke in Uncle Roger, brusquely, \"but for my own satisfaction, I shoul Iikxt Wra-ey Watches- Clocks and Jewelry SDMI, RKIMIHKIt OK K.YCII It _ED.

THE SMELTING BONUS, Tho marvellous liberality of the Dominion Government in giving a bonus for the amount of ore smelted in rhe .country does not, work quite fairly. Comparatively rich ore that goes straight to the' furnace earns itt- 50 cents a ton. Bub poorer ore has first to-be concentrated. The Bine Bell ore for instance is concentrated iri the ratio of 5 to 1 before it goes to the roasters even. The 50 cents i<- concentrated too. It. is only paid on ore smelted, not on ore mined, so tin Kootenay Mining & Smelting Co. only gets ten cents a ton bonus on its ore. Is not this something like one law for the rich (ore) and another for tho pool'? WANTED���������A BUILDING. Recent entertainments that have taken place in Nelson show that then- are plenty ot good companies willing to come to us if we had a building suitable for them. Private and local affairs are also begining to complain of lack of accommodation. Thc Fire Hall which is the- largest building in the town has not ' seating capacity enough for Nelson its she is today; and the building is inconvenient and unsuitable in other ways. Still it is all that we have, and for a comparatively small expenditure could bo put in something more like condition than it is at present. \" Wc are informed that the sum of $250 would fix it up well enough. This amount could easily be raised by one or two entertainments. The public, would come forward liberally provided the aifairs ���������were managed by some one who would use the money for the purpose for which it was given and not lavish it as if it was his own on a company ol strolling players. The public is getting a little tired of paying people who never think of rendering an account of their stewardship. ORE SHIPMENTS. The changed condition of affair, in Kootenay necessitates a change in the Driuted returns of ore shipped. ' We believe that the prime object to be obtained is to show* the world the 'amount of work that is actually being done in the district. Sometime ag.< n prominent man said .\"We do not want to know about your prospect**, w( want to find out whut you have actually done.\" A year ago I he h*-t or ore shipped from the different mines sufficed for this. Today it, is not enough. With two smelters at work and another one inst completed tho matter becomes \"more complicated. We\" have therefore determined t.o arrange our list so as to show the amount of ore espoited as well as the amount treated in the country.��������� The tables will also give the amount of matte or bullion resulting from the latt er. - Until just lately shipments of or_ were confined tothe winter months, and a return therefore intended to show the product of a season had to ignore the natural division of the year and extend from summer to summer. Prom now on ore is likely to be moving continuously so we have changed our date to coincide with the calendar and the season will commence with the first of January. The total shipments for last year including the ore mined at the Blue. Bell and treated at Pilot Bay amounted to no less a quantity than 7S.O0O tons. number the natives by many t housands. Millions oi! foreign capital is invested in the country, which'is also almost entirely supported by the taxes paid- by these foreign settlers. Clearly the latter are entitled at least to proper protection in their property. They have simply made the. country., In their present demands there.isnothing unreasonable. At the same time neither Ureal Britain nor the United States quite see thoir way to dictating the course to be pursued by the Transvaal Government. ' Diplomacy has as usual found ont a way to solve the difficulty. . From. Simons Bay all the way round to Zanzibar, a matter of some 2,000 miles, there is only one decent harbor. This is Delagoa Bay at present in the hands of the Portuguese. It is the key to the whole interior, particularly tp the Liunsvaal. The Portuguese do not want it. Its possession is liable .to bring them into undesired complications with other powers. They are (���������radically bankrupt and fifty or sixty iiillions of dollars would be of much ���������JTi eater service to them than this little posses--, ii in in \"South East Africa. Accordingly a few Englishmen are ,'iiiting their hands into their pockets .iinl the purchase will probably be -hortly completed. Then we shall uold the gates of the Transvaal and under our shelter not only our own sons but our American cousins and everyone else can safely employ themselves _ in the great African Golconda. MAKING FRIENDS. There is little doubt that Mb. Joseph \\Jn.-Mi-EitL.ux is eminently the man ���������if, the day. He has recently made a great speech at Manchester which loems with the noblest patriotism and lhe finest possible sentiments of international friendship. He commences by deprecating any war whatever, ��������� but especially war with the United States. Me said: \"I feel, so far as I can speak for my countrymen, that our pride in the race to which we belong is a pride which includes every English-speaking community in the world. (Hear, hear.) We have a domestic patriotism as Scotchmen or as Englishmen or as Irishmen, or what you >will. AVe have an Imperial patriotism as citi-ens of the British Umpire. But surely,' in addition to that, we have also an Anglo-Saxon patriotism which embraces within its ample folds the whole of that great race which' has done so much in every branch of human effort, and above all in that branch of human effort which has produced free institutions and free.communities.\" Referring to Armenia aud to the desire on the part of the Americans to do something to help the distressed Christians of that unhappy country, he pointed out that, unaided, America could do little 'or nothing. Any attempt at isolated action on her part would bring her in to contact with one or more European powers, and he invites her to join Great Britain in remedying the abuses that exist under the Tuikish rule. If ever there was a case in which the strength of union could make itself felt it wonld be here. England and America could absolutely dictate-not only to Turkey or one or two minor powers; but to the great, nations as well. Their power for good would be incalculable.\" With such meu as Cii.oibbuumn on one side and Wolcott on the other not only is no I'iTl.wr-^-o^lHi^readeli^b large probability of an international -igreement. A SOLUTION OF TIIE DIFFICULTY. Everyone is agreed that the Americans and English who own and control all the great mines ofthe Transvaal can no longer submit to the oppression of the Boers. It was a difficult question to tackle. The Boers were quite justified in pointing out to all who came after the gold, that they were not invited, they came of their own i accord and therefore ought not to j complaiu of their treatment. In: ordinary cases nations have every ' right to manage their internal affairs ' how they like. But this is not an ordinary case. The foreigners out-1 NOTES. ' Our contemporary the Province is opening the eyes of British Columbia ,in 'the matter of high art printing. The almanac which it has issued this year-from its own presses is equal lo anything that bas previously appeared here. Another- contemporary\" the Trail -Creek News has issued an exceedingly well'got up special number which it alleges was entirely printed in its offices at Trail. Wc were considerably surprised on opening a copy of. the - latter to see a \"Province\" ' almanac fall out from between its leaves. Does the Trail Creek news advertise its opponents or was this a dead gife away? The Emperor, of Germany states his intention of again risking the'Reichstag to support him in his design of doubling the German navy. -If that body lefuses, which it probably \\vill he will appeal to the nation. Now the \"nation is already groaning under an enormous war vote. * The taxation for all purposes amounts to ij>]5 a head of the population, and it is not likely that the people will put tip \\vith any further burdens. The peace establishment of Germany \"amounts to more than half a million men', while tlie war footing is no less thanM-,(SCO,000. ��������� The nation has to keep the half million lusty warriors all the time and is getting sick of it. Sir Charles Topper is at once High Commissioner in' England and Secretary of State in Canada. This is a very good instance showing how these haughty aristocrats of the East think they c_.ii trample down all the conventions with which nations have found il neefssary to surround themselves. The High Co!tiims'\"ion'ei- of Canada is practically an amb;}s=adoi. In fact he ranks at the British Court with the ambassadors of Foreign Powers. _Now Ihe very first thinf? that is nece.-sary in an ambassador is that he should not be a party politician. In the case of the High Commissioner and the Agents General of the great colonies this is a most important point and yet here is our High Commissioner occupying at the same time a highly impor- j ant. party position and the eqitally important non partisan position in London.���������It-is impossible to fill the two, properly, at the same time. .* A great many people in town li'eep dogs. They keep them because tjhey love l.hein. \"'Thereason.why they love them is riot easy\" to see. The dogel are dirty, Useless; ugly, badly bred and a general...nuisance to everyone.- This love of persons for objectionable dogs it one of those mysteries like freight rates and our postal arrangements which- are so. constneted as to baffle the keenest intellect. There is! no harm'in-people keeping'dogs, but they ought, really to keep theni arid [not allow them to loaf about the streets especially1 at\" night when ' the' brutes have.a habit ofJsitting up on their tails and barking nt nothing. One dog will commence this business until he makes \"another' deg on the other side of the town answer him. Then .they, begin to argue and other curs join in until the whole place isa pandemonium. This ;is of courso a matter of indifference to a man who sleeps as if he was dead, but then theie are a great many- people who-do not. Women and invalids are not always .blest, with profound -'slumber and they have a right to be protected from the nuisance caused \"by other'\" people's\" ciirs.* Any one is quite justified (morally) in getting up and.shooting these howling curs.

Written by Dr. ��������� Richard Peaice, manager Boston and Colorado Smelting\" Company, in the Mining and Scientific Press: At the present time, owing to. the din\" covery of gold in Cripple Cr.ek in combination with telli.r.mii, prospector- are . on lho sonrob for similar- conditious in other districts, and ic has occurred to me that a few hints in regard to tellurites might be of some .value. . . Tellurides p-oper are rarely found to exist near tbe t-iiifnceof loJes'that may contain theni iii depth.- This is due to the' fact that tellurium is susceptible to oxidizing action iikt* iron pyrites and other minerals when they are exposed to weathering iufluence.. This weathering action, in the case of tu.iurides, has the effect of converting the tellurium into iin oxidized form, which ' Oorubines wiih the\" _xid������* ot iron and seldom shows any evidence of its exist ' euoe, except in ra o ciises. when the ore is exceedingly rich, nnd then the oxide of le.lurium ivpears as. a yellowish-brown ;: stain on the rock. The gold resulting from the oxidising change occurs as a brownish powder, and does not possess the properties of gold fouud under < ther conditions. It has iittle or no luster, and is so light' in weight and spongy....that the ordinary process of panning fails iu most instances to indicate its existence: The ordinary method of assay will, however, prove its presence, and this should be done by some iiBBayer who is. not only, qualified by ex- , perience to make the. assay, but whose ' honesty is beyond question. Prospectors will do well to give a. wide berth to the quack assayer, who has some particular method of bis own, or what he is pleased to call a \"chemical analysis\" process whieh. be claims is the only true method fo** determining the value of an oie. ��������� These frauds nre scattered ali over the country and are often the cause of no . little, disappointment to the hone.t pros- , pector. .It sometimes happens that a , prospector is so far away from a reliable ; .assayer that it is impossible for him to ascertain whether the ore contains gold or not when the presence of tellurium is suspected. - A very simple test,- requiring no par- . ticular .kill,'' cau be used to deter'miue ��������� whether or not tellurium is present in an oxidized foiin; for if it is:touhd that tellurium is present, it is \"pretty safe to presume that gold accompanies it. This ' test, which I will give here, is one which :I.recommended in a paper read before . the Colorado Scientific Society some two ��������� years ago, and was tbe result of some 'investigations on oxidized Cripple Creek ores. Fifty grammes of the fine pulp ore. are treated with dilute hydrochloric acid, consisting of equal parts of acid and water. The mixture is heated to boiling and filtered, and co the filtrate is added a solution of stannous chloride. . The te'- lurium, if preseut, will immediately Le 'precipitated in a black Hoculent. form of metallic tellurium; if its quantity is small . it is best to heat the solution, which aids the separation. It must, however,, be remembered that this test is only applicable to of es which contain the tellurium in an oxidized form, and is of uo value in other eases. ' ' Below tbe water line the tellurites proper occur, and in Ceipple Creek they hre represented by theminerals sylvauite aiid oalaverite. Sylvaihte is as white ahd lustrous as pure silver, and .contains, when pure,' about\" twentyseven per cent gold. Calaverite has a slight yellow appearance, resembling somewhat a pale variety of iron * pyrites, and contains ���������bout forty per cent of gold. ������������������ -The'presence of tellurium does not' in every ciise prove. the existence of gold, but I think it may be said to be the rule nt Cripple Creek.. Boulder county has produced what is termed native tellurium and telluride _f lead, altite,, which contains no gold whatever, and I have known of tbe occurrence of telluride'' of bismuth \"(tetradymit'e) in Montana containing little or no gold, but these examples are rare.. The occurrence of fluorite of a'purple or'amethystine color, ^so characteristic of Cripple Creek ores, may be .regarded as a favorable indication of the coexistence of tellurides. This peculiar association is well -barked in other districts, such as Boulder county, Colorado, and in the tellurium gold ores of South Dakota, so that it indicates some\" sort\" of close- kinship between,the two minerals, or rather that tbey owe their existence to some one common origin; The distribution of tellurium is inii- nately 11101-e extensive than is geuer- ally supposed, but ils importance as a mineralizer of gold has not been rec WI__.CI_S. The American Lino LSle-mier St. Paul which went ashore near Long Branch has been lightened and floated off. She steamed quietlv tn New York where it was found that she is absolutely uninjured. The beach on which she struck was smooth sand. Thu salvage on her will be enormous. The British Ship Kilbrannan struck on a reef olf Port Townsend on Wednesday last. She was inward bound from Callao. She was bowling down the Straits under full canvas before n bright, Nor-AVester. The moment- she struck all three masts went by the board and the. ship was thrown\" over on to her starboard side. J.t.iii-Ls weie made to launch the boats, but they were immediately swamped hy the seas that continued to break over the unfortunate vessel. Tugs went out to her assistance, but owing to the fury ofthe waves were unable to approach her. The latest information was that, fears were entertained that she would speedlygoto pieces and that .all on board would be drowned. (No. 180) CERTIFICATE OF THE REGISTRATION OF A FOREIGN , COMPANY.
