The Miner was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia. 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. Deane, who changed the title to the Weekly News.

A vein of (]ii;irl/, lms been opened tlu* Tiger from whicli assays up to $4 gold have been obtained. The Burnt Pass country is attracting much iittcntioii and the district is full of prospectors. Seventy car loads of fi-eij_r.it for Rossland are detiiined nt Northport by the Hoods. Mr. A. J. McCol), the well known Q. C. of Vancouver, has established himself at liossland where lie aud Mr. C. R. Hamilton have entered into partnership. The shnft on the Commander which is now clown SO feet has bottomed on oie which is reported to go .H20 iu gold- and 14 per cent copper. At the Centre Star there are 5000 tons of ore ou the dump. The main tunnel has been in high grade order for a mouth aud there is no sign of the chute petering out. A drilling match for the championship of the province aud a $200 purse has beeu arranged to take place this after noon. The contesting teams will be John Fitzuilliam rind David Groggin aud Alex McLeod and William Ross. "Work on the City of Spokane, the claim recently acquired by the L. F. R, & C. G. Co., lias disclosed a stroug vein of ore." The tunnel is iu 80 feet, the last L0 being in ore. A cross cut of 12 feet has so far foiled to pierce tbe ledge. The assays so far have given very various results. ��������� At the drilling contest on the 4th the following were the results; McLeod and Ross, Nickel Plate, 32j^' inches; Fits*William tand Smith, Crown Point, Sljjjj inches; Pi ley aud O'Dounell, War Eagle, 3\'i inches; Johnson and Stevenson. Iron Horse, 28%, Davis and Everett, Le Loi, 27J,-;.- The prizes contested for wero purses of $400 and $100 respectively. A suit for libel has been preferred by C. AY. Jackson, of. the liossland Miner, against W. II. Mend, manager of the Green Crown Mine, aud Eber C, Smith, of the Record. The liossland Miner has. recently contained articles unfavorable to the Green Crown aud in replying the accused are stated to have published a personal libel on Messrs. Reavis aud Jackson, of the Rosslaud Miner, containing matter iu no wise conuected with the Green Crown, Mr. Mead' apologize- fully aud the case against him was" d'iop- pt-'**. bnt E. C Smith was held over in $751* bonds, to appear at the next court. Ttie Rosslaud Miner calls attention Id ihe circumstances attending llie floating of the Bald Butte Co. in Seattle. It says a prospectus has been issued which alleges among -.other things that the claim is a full.oue aud adjoins the Mayflower, ��������� Grand Prize and Deer Park, which is a physical' impossibility. Another doubtful feature ot the prospectus is that two refetei.ccs are given iu Rossland, ueithcr of which was authorized while one was expressly forbidden to be used. The further fact that the last bill of sale recorded, namely- from AV. E. Smith to J. E. Porter, showed the outrageous consideration of 835,000, makes tbe ,whole transaction look very suspicious. sanca. ' ..2050 worth of lots in Sanca were sold on Tuesday last while t'.e s. s. Angerona lay at the dock. The Co. did not care to sell until platting was finished and good lots designated. 4 hotels, 2- stores and a restaurant are under way, besides private residences.

The guide of the tfirst 10" miles is uot to exceed 6 per cent. Work will commence on the 22ud inst. ual assays have been obtained. When assessment work was begun three weeks ago, snow covered the discovery showing' of clear ore, and a new opening' was made several hundred feet lower. Tho first shaft disclosed clear galena, nnd a few days' work made, it plain that an ore body is near. 'litAin -'������������������-_-. "The smelter is running full time on'* a contract witli the War Eagle Co. A reported strike of free milling quartz on the edge'of the'town is causing some excitumeut. There are no details to hand yet. The shaft on the Soverign is down 23 feet and is in solid ore. This claim is barely a mile above tbe smelter and is regarded as one of the best looking properties in the district. The new camp, 15 miles up stream, where Horne Payne has bonded the Apache and Waterloo groups, is now known as the Monte Carlo camp. Numbers of men are going in there. J. Roup is building a large hotel ut Waterloo lauding. SliOCAN. Tbe fires on Ten-mile Creek have been so bad that meu have had to leave the district. C. S. Eashdall and A. C. Fauquier have gone into partnership as real estate and mining brokers. lt is reported that the ground sluicing ou the Wonderful has resulted in finding the lead, though other reports say that the mineral discovered was only 'float, but in boulders of considerable size. ��������� The Rueccau comes to the fore again with a strike of ruby silver assaying, so it is said, 10,000 onnces. ������100,0-0 worth of ore was taken out of this mine last season- Au extremely rich strike is reported from the Cameroniau. This claim is just across the divide at the head of Lemon Creek. It is the property of J. R. Cameron, T. Davis, J. T. Foley and A. Cameron. Samples from the new strike are said to assay $100 in gold and _000 ounces in silver. NEWS OF THE WORLD.

There have been quite a number of strangers iu towu lately looking over miuiug property, and there are a couple of deals nearly completed, that will help to make things" lively here, if they go. through. Mr. Geo. W. Filloon has brought his wife and daughter to Aiusworth for the summer.

The enormous unarmored ��������� cruiser Terrible, recently built on the Clyde for the British Navy, maintained a speed nf 20 knots an hour on her recent maiden trip from Glasgow to Portsmouth, and it is asserted that her maximum speed was: 24 knots, which is remarkable, in view ot her size and length���������14.200 tous, and 500 feet respectively. Not less remarkable is the Terribfe's cafryiog capacity, enabling her to steam 25.C00 miles without recoaling. Her sister ship, the Powerful, is soou to be iu commission, and theu the Biitish admiralty may claim to hold the world's record in this class of vessels. The visit of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boston to London has been the greatest success. The reception accorded them surpassed anything in point of genuine hearty en ihusiistu in thehistory of the country. On all sides from the Queen and Prince of Wales, down to the poorest ot* the masses, the hand of goodt'ellowship has been loyally ext**nded to the visitors who, as distinctly stated by the Prince, were not received as foreigners, Hut as brothers from across the sea. But there has been a numerous feature, in tbe proceedings which it will do no harm to record. When the Ancients .were enlertaiped in the Royal Orangery at Windsor on Wednesday, many ofthe ladies were anxious to obtain souvenirs of the occasion, arid persuaded the waiters to sell them knives and forks. Consequently, the waiters did a thriving trade.'-'-They charged tive 'shillings each tor common steel knives, and it now develops that these knives were the property of the contractor at Windsor who supplied the feast, and that they were not used inside the castle.

Ward, the Bunk of Friday from out Cariboo. -lining Journal.) general manager of British Columbia, lului'iied nn extended trip through- Mr. Ward was accompanied on his trip by Mr. S. Tiugley of the Biitish Columbia Fxpress Compuny, who, by his intimate iicqnniutuLce with Cariboo, was able to take Mr. Ward through this immense section of country with the least possible loss of time. Mr. Ward said that in general he fouud Caii- boo prosperous, more so tha'i he hud anticipated ; that the mining interests were assuming vast proportions, and in his judgment a railroad should be built into this vast undeveloped empire, which possessed such wonderful resources. Such a development would follow the building of oue as would soon put the upper country on a level with any1 known country. Mr. Ward visited Queensnelle, liaikevville, Stanley, spent a day at tbe Forks, was at the 150, Soda Creek and various other small points aud the quautity of freight uow beiug forwurded spoke for the general prosperity of these places. At the Cariboo a constant cannonading, shooting boulders in one or the other of the pits was in progress, the two mom- tois playing 'first in one pit while the boulders were fired in the other then the water turned ou to tbe pit where tbe firiug had beeu done. Amalgam galore is seen in the flumes of the great mine, and while Mr. Ward says any one can weil understand after seeing the miue that it will uot be at its greatest for several years, yet enough is uow shown to satisfy one of the immense value of the property. Mr. Ward was unable on this trip Lo visit the Horsefly owing to lack of time. The compauy, Mr. Ward said, does not co .- template starting branch banks in auy part of Cariboo at present, but will do so as soon as iu their judgement the busiuess outlook will justify so doiug. Lillooet was visited on their returu aud a good word for that section was spoken by Mr. Ward. He spoke of the distance the Wright party are transporting their machinery, nearly GOO miles from Ashcroft, the nearest railway. Of Quesnelle lake, it is, he was informed, nearly or quite 200 miles long aud surrounded with gold-bearing streams and mountains which but comparatively few white 'meu had ever visited. The lake is deep enough to Hoar, any vessel built. This vast and comparatively unexplored section lying north of Bakerville, aud vurious other sections would, if a rail road were built iuto the country, soon be as well known perhaps as is the famous Kooteuay country, which without railroads would still be a comparatively unknown camp.

The system of capitalizing slightly developed mineral claims for large sums of money* and selliug the stock "at a . small percentage of the par value is, hi' case of the liquidation of the company, fraught with serious consequences to the holders and in any event prejudicial to the proper development of the- mine. The laws of British Columbia are opposed to a company selling its stock at a discount, yet these have been -evaded in the case of some mining vent arcs. Discontinuance of this practice and compliance with the provincial laws will' be some guarantee that companies are formed for the purpose of working the mines instead j of unduly enriching the promoters ot the | schemes. ' The incoming council should I look into this matter, and, if necessary, bring it to the notice of the provincial government with the view of remedial egislation. BRITISH COLUMBIA IN LONDON. The Financial journals continue tb report that British Columbia above all American mining districts monopolises public attention iu Londou. Two large promotiug companies have been foimed, "The London and British Columbia Gold Fields Co." aud the "Pioneer Ex: ploratiou aud Development Co. ot British Columbia." The former is represented in this province hy Mr. S. S. Fowler and the latter by Mr. Charles Tetley. These companies are not in. a hurry to .acquire" properties, but will rather wait and acquire later ou, properties which development has shown to be worth having, The following is from the Financial News of July I.

Lord Graitisford told liis love story. Sha | had charmed him from the flrst, he said, and now he loved her. Would she . _i rnnrm-ifT. *Y LOUISE CHANDT.KR MOULTON (Copyright' 1895.) The flies were so very busy. No doubt, is they buzzed in and out of the open window, they thought they were accomplishing a vase deal, though it did not seem so to the young couple who looked ���������n. Perhaps there are eyes that watch us ���������eyes to which our little ambitions and achievements seem as trivial, as inconsequent, a.s the busy flies seem to us. The May afternoon was more than warm���������it was hot. Summer had hurried Into the world, unexpected and uninvited. Perha.s that was what made Jasinyn Meredith lend a little pink ear to something she had resolved, over and over, that she would not hear���������the passionate, illoyi- cal, altogether absurd, love-making ofa young fellow who would not have taken his university degree till a month later on. He was 21. to be sure, and she only 18; but at 18 a girl believes herself already a woman. She listened ; and then she said with a ���������mile: "Why, you are a boy!" "A wise boy," he answered, "who knows su'ough to love you; and who will have all .the longer time in which to love you, because he begins early." "I'm glad you are to be a lawyer," she Answered, somewhat irrevelantly, as it teemed 'to Robert Marsh. "Why?" he ventured. "Because I now see that yon have, after ���������11, a logical mind. Your powers of argument might be thrown away in any other profession." And then she added: "lt takes a good while to get admitted to the bar." "It shan't take very lorig in my case," be answered, "if you will promise me my reward for making haste." "Oh! yes," she said, "I will come to court and hear your first plea." That!" he cried, a.little scornfully. 'No, I want you to iistea in private to my Irst argument, and be convinced by it." "Ah, but you are not a lawyer yet���������you must wait.". "Vou can keep me waiting as long as you please���������it is for you to say���������but I have told you that I love you. You can't get away from that. I'll trust you to remember, and when any other man tells you the same story, I���������I will be his judge. You .���������"hall think of my love and my words, and you shall ask yourself whether he loves you as well." Ja.si_.yn smiled a little at this outburst, *ud then she said, with an air of sweet tolerance: "Dream your dream, gentle youth ; it may keep you from some worse folly." . "And you will not even be here for class day?" "No, we sail on Saturday. My mother is half English by birth and more than half at heart. She is siuhing for May fair. We shall go to New York to-morrow." "And this is good-bye?" He looked for a moment into her eyes. His lips were athirst for hers���������but he knew her too well to venture on anything she would have the right to resent. He contented himself with a hand clasp; but there was a tone in his voice" she would not soon forget as he said: "Vou will remember!" ��������� * * * * # Three years went by, and still Mrs. Meredith and her daughter had not returned to America. May and June found them.in London. Later on they went to Hamburg���������beloved of the Princeof Wales. They divided their winters between Rome .nd the Riviera. Robert Marsh heard of their movements only from the kind newspapers, for Jasmyn had decreed that there should he no correspondence. It would hinder him in his studies, she said, and ihe had no time for it. Shu thought of hint, now and then, and wondered a little whether���������as she put it to herself���������he was _s foolish as ever. In fact, she thought of him most often at the times when she ���������hould have thought of him least���������when ionic other man appeared inclined to tell her the old story. She was a social success, even in London,where there are so many competitors; -butshe-deftly-Rianaged-toavoid proposals for the most part;.and, when she had to say no, to say it so gently as to make no* energies. Her mother had not interfered hitherto. Mrs. Meredith was too wise a woman not to hasten slowly; but now' the time seemed to her to. have come when a lon-iti-Iaw would be desirable. "You are 21, now," she said to Jasmyn. "Yes, Munisie. Of course you can easily remember my birthday, since you also are a Mayflower."' ."Yea, and a year before I was 21 I hau married your father. He never caused me but oue sorrow, and that was when he died." I wish you 'as happy a lot as my own, and I think you are old enough to - marry." Jasunvn lifted her pretty eyelids in such- wise that they asked a question. "-Yen," her mother answered musingly. "Perhaps you have not seen, but T,0who have lived-twice as long as you, can see clearly, that Lord Guinsford is only wait- lug his opportunity to ask you to be Lady "Gainsford.'.' ... ',"Tliat old. fellow!" cried" Jasmyn irre-. rercntly. "He is thirty-nine," said Mrs. Meredith, minting. "That does not seem so venerable,, to most of the world as it seems to you. Do you see anything else in him to complain of?" * "I haven't thought. Why should 1. He' Is very well; I suppose, but"! see no reason why I should care for him niore.than for Another." - "Ali, well; you must know; him better." And the opportunity was not long in ,-Coniing. 'It seemed as'if fate were on tha side of his lordship. Wherever the Merediths went they were sure to meet him��������� and he let it be seen clearly enough that it was for Jasmyn's sake ho had come. He did not trouble himself to dance with anyone else. He was at her side when she rode jn the park, and if she went to h ..garden party there he'was also! ' Jasmyn was flattered, naturally. To receive, without seeking, what-a score of other girls '.tought vainly, had a distinct charm of its . own, and Lord Gainsford had the advantage of being old euoiigh to know the world and its ways. He was distinctly high bred. He was handsome iu his own way, and manly, as the best type of Englishman always is. Why she was not in love with Jiim Jasmyn. herself could not have told you. Indeed she thought tbat *ery possibly she should be later on. One night they were sitting out a dance whicli she had promised him. He had persuaded her to go into the conservatory tn.tead of dancing, and she sat on a low seat over which some strange foreign plant leaned. An odor that seemed like bicenso burned at the shrine of some old-time god ball intoxicated her. _W_i<_ there and thea ��������� At that very instant it seemed to her as if she heard a voice from far, oh, so far, away���������a voice that said: "Wait!" And I just then, before she had spoken at all, her 1 partner for the next dance appeared and Lord Gainsford said, with that cool sclf- ] possession that belonged to his age aud j his'rank: "I shall see you.to-morrow." ; That night sleep did not come to Jas- ��������� myn. She lay with wide-open eyes, va- ! guely wondering. What should'she say | to Lord Gainsford ? Could she love him��������� j and why not ? Would she be happy as his , wife ? How much there would be to make her so! Then suddenly it seemed to her as if the room opened its windows to the stars and tlie infinite night, and she looked far, far off, as perhaps we all shall look when death has taken us by the hand and led us I far away from what we now call life. She j knew that her vision had gone beyond the j sea and that it was a room in New York in i which she saw a young man writing. He had just turned a page. She did not know how his letter began, but she read these words: "I am twenty-four uow aud you are twenty-one. You cau uo longer call me a boy. I was admitted to the bar a year ago. I have succeeded so well that in October [ shall make my first important plea. Remember that you promised to hear it. I will cross the sea and bring you back iu time. I. shall be with you almost as soon as this letter. I have obeyed you hitherto in keeping silence. I write now because I wish you to know before we meet that I am unchanged." And when she had read thus far it seemed to her that suddenly the windows that had opened to the vastness of the night were closed and she was alone. What did it all mean? She was not asleep. It was no dream. Plainly as if she had held the sheet in her own hands she had read those written words. Plainly as if he had been in the room with her she had seen Robert Marsh. What had made this possible? Could it be-that she had cared for him all along more than she knew? And he would be on his way to her���������uerhaps almost at once. She should see hiin, hear him, understand, perhaps, by what unknown power this vision had been vouchsafed. How should she answer Lord Gainsford to-morrow? Then, once more, as if from some farthest star, she heard, as she had heard in the conservatory, the one word���������"Wait!" Yes, she would wait. She would decide nothing until she knew. She turned on her side and drew a long, calm breath, and then sleep, the delinquent, kissed her parted lips and led her at last into dreamland. The next day Lord Gainsford pleaded his own cause, but he pleaded in vain. "If you will wait two weeks," Jasmyn said, "I. will answer youthen. If I say anything to-day it must be 'no.' I do not feel that I understand myself. Will you give me time, or shall it end here?" Of course he gave her time. He turned to Mrs. Meredith. Mrs. Meredith was his senior by tnree years, therefore she was a safe as well as a sympathetic confidante. The two weeks were not over, in fact only nine days had passed, when a letter came to Jasmyn iu a hand she used to know. She opened it. She read the first page-and then she turned the leaf, arid thero she saw the very sentences she had read when the windows of her maiden chamber opened into the infinite night, o And that same day Robert Marsh followed his letter. Then Jasmyn Meredith knew for the first time her own heart's secret. The love that was strong enough to conquer time and space and speak to her across the estranging sea was the love of her own life, as'well as of her lover's. The next day she told her mother .that she had made up her mind. Naturally Mrs. Merepithdid not like it, but she was helpless. John Meredith had left his fortune to be equally divided between his daughter and his wife, and after Jasmyn was twenty-one she was absolutely her own mistress. Mrs. Meredith would fain have been mother-in-law to a lord; but there was nothing to be said against Robert Marsh, so she quietly resigned herself to the inevitable. ' ��������� "You deserve," she said to Jasmyn, with a little vexed laugh," "that I should marry Lord Gainsford myself." And that is pre- ri*i������lv what she did six months later. __sr_Ei_so_Lsr Planing Mill! Doors, Sashes, Turned Work, Brackets i and {Office { Fittings. SATISFACTION CtlARAlMTEEP. PRICES REASONABLE.

ADDRESS - fHBMlNeH PRINTING* PUBLISHING CO NELSON. B.C. SANITATION. Tbe publication of tlie SuiiiUry K.guluMons in the (J.i/.elte has been quickly followed by the arrival of Or. Watt lo have them enforced. It- may probably be safely said that not t'*:i persons in Nelson have so much as seen a copy of these regulations, when down comes the Inspector and orders existing diains to be destroyed new ones laid down and an entirely new system of sanitation to be adopted. If these orders were to be complied with the entire population ol* Lhe town would have to spend lhe next, three or four weeks in di^'hiK new drains. However praisworUiy the object may be, the authorities are not pi"- feeding the right way to get these desired reforms adopted. First of all they should supply every householder with a copy in ordert.bat they might nt least know what they have got to do. Secondly, if only as an example, and by way of taking the beam out of ils own eye, before attempting to remove the mote from its brother's the government should do away with Nelson's great disgrace, Ihe box flume that ���������"11ns down Ward Creek, and should replace it. with a proper brick or stone culvett carried out to low water level. Having done -this the authorities would have a better footing frun which to lecture the taxpayers. Of the .advisability of adopting the various systems laid down by tbi- Regulalions there can be no -question. Their cost may be considered as insurance against the financial trouble of doctor's bills and the mental sorrow that sickness and death bring with them. In the case of certain epidemics a wooden drain is more dangerou. Ihan the shell that bursts in the serried ranks of an army. 11 periodically spreads disease iind death around it and appears never to lose its virulent qualities, It is rightly regarded by modern sanitary engineers as worse than an open gutter. The system re- coiiimended for house sanitation, where connection with a drain is impossible, is the best .that exists. ll however has two faults. It entails expense and depends on individual carefulness for its effectiveness. The . regulations with regard to the keeping "of.cow-sV^'gs. etc'a'fe-very" necessary" We have" more chan . once heard complaints made about, the former -siiid the abuse of the latter is plain to anyone who has a nose, Now, as far- as Nelson is concerned the Government Agent is Allah and our only policeman is his prophet. In other words Captain Fitzstiji'u.s. -will have to administer the regulations hy the aid pf the inspectorship of "Mit. John Milks. Now it' may safely In- said, without'for a moment casting any reflection on- these gentlemen, "that it the alf air is to be'left to them, no one need, trouble any further in the "matter, and the regulations as far as we are concerned -need never have been passed. This is not. to be'al.tri- buted to any disinclination on the officials'part to poke their noses into other peoples affairs, nor to any lack of knowledge- of recent sanitary - science, but to the common and everyday reason that they have a great deal too much to do already. Dr. Watt will no doubt enjoy a yearly trip to Nelson at the expense of the taxpayers and will be annually consumed with official mortification atthe entire disregard of the Regulations. But they ought to be carried out all the same. A POLICEMANS LOT. - We have alluded elsewhere to the numerous calls on the time of our local constable. Primarily his business is to be in bodily evidence on the street as an outward and visible sign of the majesty of British law. and as a protection to the subjects of the Queen against all brawlers, marauders and other breakers of the peace.' As it is, his time is largely occupied as' messenger for the government offices, and to further debar him from properly carrying out his legitimate functions, three short sentence prisoners from liossland were recently confided to his care. The inhabitants of Nelson of course appreciate the compliment which im plies that, their policeman is. a superfluity and is only to lie used as a guardian of liossland drunks, but with many thanks to the authorities for their high opinion of us we plel'er to have our policeman for our own purposes. We ��������� have before pointed oui the total unfitness of our lock-up for use as a gaol. It is unnecessary to go into details again. Sufficient to say it contains none of the necessary appliances and the duty occupies neatly the whole of the constables time. ' While we" are on this subject, we should like' to dr;iw the attention of the Government Agent in his capacity of Governor ol' the Nelson Gaol, to the fallen rock at the foot of lhe cliff over against the hospital. Duriug the course ^if their sojourn with us the three unruly liosslanders might be most excellently employed in breaking up the said rock into road metal, which when spread on the'street leading to the wharf would render.it passable in the wet weather. Of course if there are any Cottonwood trees that want trimming or bits of stick that require picking up in the government back yard, we would not for a moment suggest the neglect of such important duties, but only if the incarcerated victims have more |l!me on their hands than can be usefully occupied in gardening, the stone breaking business would atoncesave them fiom brooding too much on their own misfortunes and add to'fche convenience and comfort of the citizens of Nelson . PEACE HATH ITS VICTORIES. lt is not for us in this peaceful end of the nineteenth century to shout ourselves hoarse at the triumph of some General returning victorious after a brilliant campaign. Nor does the nation fall down and worship one man, as it did a hundred years ago when NiCLsoN alone stood between British fieedom and the designs of Napoleon. But, just fifty years ago a quiet and studious youth, at the age of twenty- two, became a professor at the University of Glasgow. The benefits that accrue to a nation from the skill of its generals or Iho valor of its admirals are usually accompanied with terrible carnage, though the sobs of the widow and fatherless are drowned in -the cheeis of the crowd. But to Silt William Thomson the nation and the world owe many victories over inert matters, that besides aiding us- in our every day occupations and business, h-ivv lu'i'ii the direct cause of saving thousands of lives.. Fifty years ago William Thomson became piofessor or natural philosophy at ^Glasgow aud al once became known as an .investigator of boldness and originality in a line of scientific research directly bearing on industrial enterprise. liis earlier work, was connected jwith the mathematical theory of heat and electricity, and lhe made great strides in the transmission of electric" signals. It was largely owing to hiin that the apparently insuperable difficulties that attended (and stopped) the working of the first Atlantic cable, were'overcoine. To those that go down to the sea* in ships .Sih William Thomson's Compass and Deep Sea Sounding Gear are familiar. Navigation has been largely simplified and robbed of many of its dangers by these two inventions. Atthe t i-eont jubilee of the professor, now Loud Kiclvin, in Glasgow, seientists-froni all-over-the--world--as- seinbled lo do him honor. It is a te- markable fact that in.his speech of thanks to the learned assembly this hero of science.declared that after all his labours he knew no more of the real nature ..of electricity, magnetic force, cir of the relations between ether ponderable matter, or chemical affinity than he''did when he first faced his class fifty years ago. L - :^ NOTES. . The following is a very .lucid explanation by the Philadelphia Ledger.of a subject which is at present, occupying a good deal of attention;���������"Il means in practice that sixteen ounces of silver should'-'be held-as worth as much as one'ounc-e of gold. One ounce of gold, American coin standard, of fineness���������that is, M) par is of pure gold to"100 of alloy���������will coin in gold dollars $1S.00.- Sixteen ounces of silver, American coin standard of fineness���������that is,-900 parts of pure silver .to. 100 of alloy, at the rate of-112", grains to the dollar (the weight of the present standard silver dallar)���������will coin $18.(50 in silver dollars. These sixteen ounces of silver can be bought in the 111-11 ketsof the world today for $9.91. Thei e would, therfore, be a profit of SS.Gti 011 an investment of $9,91, being about. S7 pt-i* cent., if a holder of silver could lake it to the mint, and coin it without charge into silver dollars. The advocates of free coinage favor a law that will allow any holder of silver bullion���������or. in fact_ silver of any kind (as the latter can readily be melted into, bars)���������to have the rightto take thesame to any .mint of the United States and convert it into silver coin free of charge.
