A number of assays taken from the same are exhibited in our window, running al1 the way from ���������P104.17 to ������1,294.40. Out of many assays taken from this property the company claims the distinction of never having an assay as low as $100 in value. These assays were taken from near the surface of the ledge and may���������as is the. case throughout that' country gener illy���������increase in value as depth is attained. There are several ledges on the property. The ore from which this was obtained is between 25 and 30 feet in width and will' undoubtedly carry a pay streak of at least three to five feet. This lead is on the lime and slate contact and carries five times the values the famous Silver Cup carried at the same depth.

LARDO-DUNCAN COUNTRY. It is Sustaining its Reputation For Large Ledges and. High Values. Messrs. Miller and Chestnut, president and secretary"-, of the , Old Gold Quartz & Placer Mining company,have just returned from a two week's trip in the Lardo-Duncan country, where they have been inspecting the.properties of the company. : ,,; ;���������'��������� 'ihey report a great deal of development work going on in that.part ofthe country, and signs of prosperity in a mining way on'all sides. The government has a large force of men repairing the roads and tn.-ils already established, and building new eries up.both the North and the South Forks of the Lardo, as well as in many other directions. .'.������������������'. There arc,65 men-at work on the Duncan river building roads and trails, and within the next 60 days they will Alexander Audct, a pioneer miner of Biitish'Columbia, says a Tacoma despatch, is on the sound enjoying a well earned nst, and also devising ways and means in which to spend some of the moncv received a short time ago by himself and partner fur the sale of the Black Cock mine in the Ymir district, B. C, to an English company. These fortunate prospectors received $75,000 for their property, and before another month they will receive an additional $150,000 for the White Horse and Last Chance mines in the same district. The mines in Ymir district are very rich; and with the aid of large capital and modern machinery methods wonderful results are predicted. A large majority of the better claims have been bought by English capitalists. Had a Yisitor.

Under any arid every principle of right, this constituency must furnish the next minister of mines lor the Provincial cabinet. It may be said there aro other divisions whose representatives are hotter entitled to promotion than is Mr. Green of the Slocan ; but that is not the princfplo that is now involved. 'J'he parliament i<s calculated to legislate for the oountry, and not for tlie representatives of the country. This was one ol the fatal mistakes the Turner government always lived in���������they legislated for themselves and not the peoplo or the coun'ry they represented, and hence most of them, such as Col. Baker and "Chinese"Martin, for instance, grew rich at the country's expense. The Slocan division has infinitely more men at work-in its mines than any other.'metalliferous section of the country ; it has more mines; more capital invested in them; turns out annually a greater value of ovp, and pays larger dividends than any other district���������the Payne paying last year more dividends than all the Bossland mines put together. These are circumstances that cannot and must not be overlooked. The now government will, of course;'say they are there to legislate for the country, and hei'G is an opportunity to shew their sincerity. If Turner losigns, oris defeated, at the opening of the now House, it will be the duty of Lieut-Governor Mclnness to call on Mr. Semlin to form a new government. Mr. Semlin can then either undertake the task or recommend some one else to his Honor. This is the constitutional course, and, no doubt, it will bo followed in. the event of the overthrow of tho Turner administration. As "Joe" Martin is tho only lawyer elected by the opposition, ho, no doubt, will be attorney general; Mr. Cotton, minister of Lands and Works, and Mr. Green minister of mines. It is whispered in some quarters that in his deathbed repentance even Mr. Turner came to the conclusion that he had lonjs- slighted the Slocan, and was going to give the Department of Mines to Mr. Retallack, had he been elected. As, however, he did not live to see the le- alization of his dreams, it opens the way for tho recognition of the claims or tho constituency by the new government. Mr. Green may not be- the orator that some members of the House are ; but even in speaking ability ho takos no second rank compared with aiur other member who would be likely to get the position���������such as Messrs. Martin (Rossland), Hume or Kellie. Mr. Green is, however,'' a strong representative man, as well acquainted with mining as many men who have spent much of their lives in the business; he is largely interested in mines himself, and is a No. I office and business man. Theso are the qualifications a minister of mines should possess, and Mr. Green has them. AVhen Semlin is forming his cabinet, lie must look to the Slocan for his Minister of Mines. The Rossland Miner is out for James Martin, the representative of that constituency; but it may as well hold its ivind, Mr. Green must have the Department of Mines. The Miner may talk of its "Premier camp,'1 but Mr. Green rei^resenls the Premier mining constituency of the province, and withal he is a better qualified man, education, ability, etc. considered, for the office than anj^ of his competitors. Besides this to equal things up, there must be three Conservatives as well as three Liberals in the cabinet, and it will tako Semlin, Cotton and Green to make , the tiio. James Martin, of Holland, is a Liberal, and there will be three Liberals in the cabinet without.hiim The Conservative members of the opposition must have fair play, if the fabric is to hang together. The Liberal members of the opposition: can no more man the.ship without the aid of Conservative oppositionists than they can fly, so they must treat the latter properly.' Blustering can accomplish nothing for the Miner. If Mr.-Green and members like him fool themselves ignored, they'would be justified in taking steps that Mould soon force recognition, and the country will back theiu vp in it jiiromptly. entire distance. Between Kuskonook and Moyie lake the work of clearing, gradij g and preparing for the tracklayers is well advaneed, ft is said that contracts have been ijj .de to deliver unbroken carload lots in Kootenay over this route by the middle of next October. The commeiicomeut of regular traffic over this road will mark the inauguration of a new era in this district. The cost of general merchandise from eastern points will be greatly lessened to local merchants, and it will naturally follow that the public here will be directly benefitted. An .'irldiiion.il advantage will also be experienced by the mine owners, for with the completion of the Crow's Nest Pass railway the fuel from tho Crow's Nest coal mines will then be available for (he local smelters. This will mean a reduction of at least ������4 per ton on the present rates for coal and coke, and .the cost of ore reduction will be proportionately lessened. The construction of .this railway is by far the most important work of development that has so far been undertaken in Koo- tenav. The council met July 18.

Stn.tiein.ns, governmental labor bureaus, State boards of arbitration and others often regale us with figures on the thousands of dollars lost during strikes by both parties thereto and the community geneially. Wherein and how ? In the majority of strikes work is delayed bricflv; when the strike ends, additional time is put in to catch up. , In protracted strikes other labor is secured ; wages .'ire still paid. In shut-downs or lock-outs the consumer buys elsewhere; wages continue. If ho cannot buy that particular product he will buy a substitute; he yet pays out wages. During the recent engineers' strike, trade left England for America and Germany ;_ wages did not stop ; or, if they did, it was lo the extent of surplus product, and any difference will now bo made up on delayed orders. Referring to the miners' strike of 1895, the Illinois Bureau of Labor Statistics said tho minors lost 31,093,910. President McBride said : "The strike lasted eight weeks. The markets wore stripped bare of coal; but within two weeks after resumption the markets were glutted and tho majority of mineis were either idle or working an occasional day each week." Even inconvenience of strikes means more labor for some one. Wages and profits at such times may bo 'shifted, but how do these bureaus figure out a loss? As a matter of fact, the only real loss to the community is that of their own salaries; but figures, like charity, cover a multitude of sins. Hunter Bros Registry Gutta'PerchaCo Scavenging B. O.

The Province and Martin. If the Vancouver Province would- let up a little in its puffing Joseph Martin, it would stand better in the eyes of many of its readers. Mr. Martin is a man of good average ability and that is all that can be said on that score. Mr. Laurier considered him the inferior of Mr. Sifton when he passed him over, and took the latter into his cabinet. There is.howcver, ono blot on the public reputation of Mr. Martin,, and that do as he may he cannot remove- he got his party into power in Manitoba through public mid private deception; and the most ef men will acknowledge political deception is no more defensible than business fraud. The Review is quite willing to overlook- Mr. Martin's defects of the past, for the good he may do in the future; but we are not prepared to see him lionized to the prejudice of men equally good in intellect and infinitely more so in principle.

' Think of it, ye gods, making a minister of a man incapable of representing a division on the floor of parliament. How very different the situation is here. The Slocan News that opposed Mr. Green declares him to be an "ideal statesman." No opposing paper here ever declared Mr. Green unfit for the representation oi the division. But the Miner foams over the importance of the Rossland camp largely because Mr. Mcintosh sank a lot of other peoples money in l.roperties. many of which must";turn out to bo mere mud holes. Let the Miner take ofi' its befogged goggles and make an honest comparison between the mining developments and capabilities of the two conatitu encies. To-day there arc 2,250 men at work in mines in tlie Slocan against loss than half that number in the Rossland camp. In the Slocan there are over 40 mines that have shipped and are shipping. Last year there were well on to $4,- 000,000 worth of ore exported from Mr. Green's constituency, and our mines paid well on to ������1,250,000 in dividends the Payne here paying more than all the Rossland mines put together. Let the Miner put these facts together and give us anhonest opinion on the mining importance of the two divisions. We take it the new parliament will be one of consideration and justice; and if it is it must give the Department of Mines to Mr. Green, for two very important reasons; firstly because he is pre-eminently qualified personally for the office, and secondly because he represents by all odds the most important mining division of the province.

Some fine samples of ore now on exhibition. Assessment work has been done by Bert McNaught, on Saddle-rock claim, on the North Fork of Lernon creek. Operations at the Sovereign mine arc going on quietly and under the toels of the miners the seam is improving all the time. The Annie L. claim on Pocupine creek is to be opened up again. Gus. Schnider, lately ofthe Comstock mine is interested in it. J. C. Harris has sold the Tyro0 near Silverto.. to the Northwest Mining Syndicate of London, Eng., for $7,500 cash, Mr. Sandiford acting as agent, for the company. 'Sampling the ore ofthe L. H., a gold proposition, near Silverton shows a value of ������50 per ton. The ledge has a width of GO feet. The property is said ' to be most promising. The Payne was a record breaker last week, it shipping 24 cars of ore, and the recent strike of six feet of solid ore combined with the increased facilities . for operating the mine it will no doubt gradually increase its shipments. A visitor at the Last' Chance, mine the other daj informed the Editor that mine is growing under development into a most wonderful property. In the third tunnel, the miners are working on a seam of clean ore over five feet wide. The Last Chance has an immense amount of ore blocked that would make the mine a permanent shipper, but it is the intention to withhold heavj' shipments until the Reeo wagon '" road is constructed, just shipping a little over the Noble Five tram. Mr. Warner says he and another man are taking out about a ton of ore a day from their new property, the Coin. They made one,shipment, last 'week that turned out 100 ozs of silver to the ton and 70 per'cent. lead. This is considered an excellent showing for a new property. A 30 foot ledge of dry ore ��������� carrying galena, copper glance and carbonate of grey copper running high in silver,has been exposed on the Gatineau and Simcoe claims owned by Tom Reed and Chas. Smitheringale. These claims adjoin the Enterprise on Ten Mile and aro part of the Slug-Ten group. A very rich strike was made by Mr. Davidson,' manager of the Miller Greek Mining company, on Miller ereek near tho Wonderful mine theptherday. Ih driving a tunnel near the surface they encountered a 24 inch vein of very rich galena. If the mother lead of the Wonderfulis found in that vicinity, a most valuable property will be located. A strike of a new ledge of rich dry ore is reported on the Tail Holt, which is situated on Gold Hill, near the Howard Fraction. A large amount of work was done on this property during the winter of '06-7, but persons who have been there lately say there is nothing nearly so good in eight as that recently uncovered Wm. Fergusen owns the property. , The returns from the Trail smelter of the shipment recently made-from-" the Mollie Hughes are very gratifying, corroborating the sampling at the mine and the assay made by Howard West. Tho No. 1 lot gave 554 ounces in silver and $10 in gold, and the average returns from the whole ore mined by the company gave the satisfactory sum. of $95 per ton net. ' Work is to be resumed on the old Skyline mine at Ainsworth. This fine property has been shut down for some time owing to an excess of water. Arrangements have been made to pump it out and resume shipments. The Ski'linc was at one time the biggest shipper in this camp and the ores, being "dry" were in great demand at the smelter.as fluxing well with ore from other camps.

THE MINING BE VIEW. SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1898. Zbe (Mining IRevfew SANDON, BRITISH COLUMBIA,' SATURDAY JULY 23,1898. Sobscription $2.00 Per.Yeae Strictly is Advnace. UNITED ACTION REQUIRED. From all avenues of information, it is apparent the mining laws of the past and present of this country have proved in many essentials unsatisfactory to the mine^owners as well as the operatives. If this country is to improve, as nature designed it to improve; there is much to be reformed in these respects. All restrictions on labor must be removed, and encouragement afforded by legislation for the investment of capital ; and every effort must be put forth to harmonize the'united employment of both. There is no doubting the fact that the '120,000 people of the province can be increased five fold in the next ten years, if our natural resources are taken'hold of as circumstances fully warrant by capital and labor. Heretofore our mining laws and regulations were the outcome of the suggestions of officials and interested parties instead of the interested masses. - It appears to us there should be a provincial association of practical miners, mine owners and capitalists, to direct our mining laws frsm time lo time, ,for they will require variation as conditions aflecting our mining from within as well as without vary and change. A short time ago Mr. Carlyle, perhaps one of the most proficient theoretical men in the country, suggested chaBges in our legislation, and they were 'speedily disapproved of by practical operatives. Capitalists again would ofler suggestions that would not be fully endorsed by operatives, and the latter would not be likely to suggest legislation that would be regarded-as faultless by mine owners. A parliamentary representative from one district, on the other, hand has suggestions put into his mouth by one-class of one section of the country only to be considered imperfect by 1 another class in a different section of the country, and so it will go on until representatives of all classes in every district are brought face to face in convention, and the best suggestions of all are crystallized into legislative form. It appears to us such a convention cannot be organized and convened too soon. The province has within-its boundaries the elements of untold- wealth, and all that is required to produce it on the surface is the confidence of capital and the harmonious and contented operation of labor.

Whoever says that Higgins is a better parliamentary authority than JBourinot is, as Lord Dundreary would say, "an ath." The lieut-governor is not supposed to be a politician; and, therefore, until a vote is taken in the House has no means of knowing whether or not Turner has been beaten. As he is in ignorance of the fact, there is one stand he is'justifiable in taking, that is not sanctioning appointments that public service does not pressingly call for. If it is shown that the country will not suffer by a delay in negotiating ��������� the $5,000,000 loan, he could urge the suspension 'of negotiations for the cash.

In any event, though they know they were beaten at the polls, the government are not compelled to resign until defeated in the House, on its assembly at'the regular time in February or March next. In the interval some protests will doubtless take place that may change the present complexion of the legislature. The premier too has a portfolio, and perhaps two, to ofler that may be accepted by members of the opposition in safe constituencies, so it is apparent a guess at the outcome is only one of indefiniteness. The results of the polling, however, show ��������� unmistakably that the people are opposed to the present methods of doing business.

A. W. Bulletin. A SIGNATURE. PARTY POLITICS. We are sorry to see the efforts some papers, most of them Liberals, are making at this juncture to introduce Federal politics into our provincial Legislature. This is regretable for two very strong reasons: First, because there is no necessity for them as they can serve no useful end, and secondly because their introduction would' take many of the newly elected members at a disadvantage. In the contest' just ended, the only question before the electors was, Shall or shall not the Turner government as it stands be continued in office ? Foi the new House now altogether unexpectedly to be confronted with the introduction of party politics, would, we'repeat, be taking it at a disadvantage. In the contest just closed many Liberal electors voted for' Conservative members and many Conservative electors for Liberal members on the distinct understanding, at least impliedly, that politics were not, and would not be, involved. To spring them now would, of course, force every newly elected member to take sides with his party, and thus deceive to some extent, at least, many electors in his constituency. If party politics are decided on, let it be made an issue ?t the.polls, to test public opinion, and not an issue in the House where public opinion cannot reach. This, at least, is our view of the matter.' The Ledge says : "The defeat of tlie Turner government has been a surprise to many, but it cannot be said that the people have acted unwisely. In many respects the government has shown too .little consideration for the needs of vaiious sections of the "province. It was easily seen many months ago that the Turner government was not giving entire satisfaction." This is paving the way to support whatever new government may be formed for the loaves and fishes that follow. "No matter what king reigns, Lowry is bound to be the "Vicar of of Bray." How many papers are there in the province to-day that would give a few dollars to blot out their record of the past six weeks, so that they might support the incoming government without swallowing themselves in a few issues? The Canning Industry in Alaska. SHOULD CALL MR. TURNER OFF. Victoria, July 15.���������Hon. D. W. Higgins, who is acknowledged to be the best informed man on parliamentary law in Canada, expresses the opinion that the Lieutenant-Governor should refuse to sanction the payment E. B. Pond, an ex-mayor of San Francisco, returned from the north yesterday on the steamer City of Topeka. His trip to Alaska was made in tin- interest of the Alaska packing association, of which he is a director and a large stockholder. He visited all the Lynn canal ports while in Alaska, and inspected a number of the 20 canneries operated by the Alaskan Packing company. To a reporter yesterday he said : "The Alaska Packing Association, which about controls the Alaska canneries, has 20 of these plants, and 10 of them are now in operation. The annual output each year varies from 450,000 to 800,000 cases, but it would be a hard matter to estimate the quantity of fish that will bo canned this year. We arc also establishing a number of now hatcheries, and a remaking other improvements. The work of canning has already commenced, and will be pushed forward as rapidly as possible. lean tru(hfully say that the prospects for a favorable canning business in Alaska this year are good." Like many visitors from Alaska, Mf. Pond observed the country closely,and said' regarding his observations : "The country is, as every person knows, wild and rugged, and like all new countries, patience and energy are required on the part of the people who go there. Many men are stranded, and they very naturally feel unkindly toward Alaska. I also understand that many people aro stranded at Cook Inlet. Many are now pushing their way through to the Klondyke over the Dyea and Skagway trails, and while I was there I witnessed the departure of many of them, It was about 15 days ago, at tha country homo of Brignac, on one of those \exquisito afternoons when, although ono f-hivcrs at tho thought of the approaching autumn, tho sun throws hero and thore mild though already paler rays. While awaiting tho hour for taking up tiio nets in tho pretty bend of tho Marno, a river which loiters indolently along the meadows, winding like a great silver snake, we were talking on tho wide veranda, which was filled with tho heavy, intoxicating odor oi' holio- tropes. A charming man is Brignac. Formerly an officer in tho light cavalry, he is a man of majestic chost, large faoe, a trifle too flushed, with an inimonso whito board and square features. Born at that poriod when the empire was at its hoight, he had taken ploasure as it camo to him, and it must be said that the advent of the ropublic scorned to him au insufficient reason for renouncing tho' pleasures of this world. He amused himself under M. Thiers, under MaeMahon aud even under M. Grevy. It was only soven years ago that the gout thought best to interfere. Brignao ���������was.then���������but why discloso tho ago of a gallant man whose friendship is true and whose ^ cook is'without equal? He was advised to try the baths. It was thero, near a spring, whence bubbled up a hot liquid which smelled like a bad egg, that ho met a young English girl, straight and slondor as a pretty bamboo stalk. He had still a gallant air and quito a fortune, sho vory little. The next wintor the protty English ���������woman married the formor oavalry officer. They have one child. They are happy. Only, Brignao has aged a great deal and hns become horribly serious. He is a good comrade for rue. He gave mo when I was very young that pruotical advice whioh is never forgotten, and I am happy from timo to time to be with him���������for an hour or two. While talking, as we passed by a little room opouing on tho conservatory, I saw in tha corner of tho room, soberly seated before a table, my host's son, Gaston, a pretty, dark child. Ho had let his pen roll across the table, and with a glance that seemed to me full of melancholy, he followed tho rustling flight of the swallows that wero skimming closo to tho lawn, flying through tho swarms of gnats. On suoh a beautiful day, iu this room, which, in contrast to tho sunny veranda, soeined more gloomy than a dungeon in the palaoo of tho doges, the sight of this child prisoner gave mo pain, and I could not refrain from saying to my friond: "How have you tho heart to shut up this child at such a time?" AndBrignao answered: "My dear friend, when ho knows how to writo I will leave him alone, for he is not yet 5 years old and very intelligent; but ho must learn to writo, and write well, I moan." "That is without doubt because your own handwriting is" like cat scratohes." "That might indeed bo a reason. Wo should endeavor to holp our children to avoid such of our faults as have troubled us in our own caroer���������and bo- sides"��������� "My dear Brignao, I do not know whether it is beeanse you livo too much in tho oountry, but it soems to mo that yon are becoming vory muoh of a Prud- hommo." Ho interrupted mo with somo spirit: "Perhaps I am liko Prudhorumo. Prudhommo was an individual who paddled his own cauoe very well; besides��������� Do you wish me to tell you why I am so anxious that my littio scamp should writo well? "It is a story of that timo when you would not havo called me Prudhonnnp. It was 11 long timo ago, iu itiiVJ. At that timo Baden-Baden was Badou-Ba- deu, aud Monto Oarlo nothing bat a little fishing village. Every one who was in tho swim or considered himself so hurried to Baden-Badon as soou as July came around. At that timo the club- rooms wero empty���������not more so than now, during tho week of tho races at Dcauville. That year I had remained at Paris, where, in my little suit on a ground floor in the Bue Taitbout, I had not been so frightfully dull, wheu ono morning a letter was brought to mo. The letter was a demand for mouoy��������� not one of thoso vulgar, bogging letters, hoapiug upon one.recitals of ill luck, swearing oterual gratitude and everlasting devotion. No, it was short and to tho point, without any beating about the bush. "'I have not a single sou. Send mo immediately 1,000 francs that I may pay my hotel bill and return to Franco to enlist.' "This letter, horribly scrawied> -was dated from Budan-Baden. As to the signature, it was impossible to read it. ."I made every attempt, osaiuiainj k letter by letter, searching among my papers for tho uamo of the perfon who could have been gnilty ot this vile scrawl. It'was absolutely impossible co discover any olow whioh would put rno on tho right track. At Baden-Baden? I had 800 friouds at Badou-Badeu. But this unlucky name���������still, I must find out what it was. For two days I did nothing but turn it over in my mind, socking the solution, giving every one Whom I met this signaturo to decipher. Absolutely useless. Each person gave a different opinion. "You can imagine into what a fever this had thrown me. At the timo I was full of a groat many notions. 1 imagined that to refuse money to a friend was meanness. Wo are all simpletons when young. But what causod iue tho greatest aimoyaucowas the thought that perhaps this note was from somo ono for Whom I entertained a real friendship. ' "I telegraphed- to JO or 12 intimate friends. Nona was the author of the note. Then I betook myself to experts in ehirography. Ono said the r.amo was Casernior���������had no doubt of it, was willing to swenr to it. The second said that he challenged uny ono to rend tho name otherwise than Sutiuais and was willing to swoar to that name, aud finally a third deolured it was not a namo at all, but a word. In his opinion it was 'Civilities.' "Sutinais and Casernier wore alike unknown to me. I turned over the club directories. I again reviewed my book of addresses, namo by name. Nothing.-1 could discover nothing, 1 was almost crazy, you may imugino, aud I had oven lost sight, to somo extent, of tho original reason for all this trouble, thinking loss now of obliging a friend than of discovering this uamo so carefully concealed. "On tho third day an inspiration oamo to mo, so simple that it had occurred to mo only after all tho other attempts had failed. I wrote to Baden-Badon for a list'of the Froucbmen' staying at tho hotel of the unfortunate soribbler. I would need only'to writo to all -whom I knew in the place. This calmed mo. And, in truth, I needed it, for I had conooived au inexplioable rage against all this, as if somothing mysterious and fatal pursued rue. "I retired early on tho evening of the third day and soon foil asleep. "I ought to toll you that I then had��������� I still have, in faot���������tho habit of using a night lamp.

In a second I had risen, lighted a caudlo and roread tho letter from Baden-Badon. Why had I not deciphered it before? It was perfeotly plain. "Lorminier was a refined boy, obliging, but a littio wild, whom I had loved muoh when wo wero young together, soon lost from sight, then found again iu thoso ruoraontary oncountere whoro a rapid olasp of the hand and an earnost 'Do you -rememborr' is all, and then separation, perhaps for years.

Nothing could bo done until morning. Immediately I wrote a lettor to Baden-Baden, excusing myself, ox- plaining all. I placed tho money in it and sealed ��������� it. And while I did this I remombered that the whisper which I had hoard erewhilewas exactly like tho voice of Jacques, whon deeply moved. "How straugois tho work of memory in our brains, I said to myself, and how was it possiblo for mo to reoall at the same time and while yet asleep tho name and the voice of 'poor Jacques.' "Then I went baok to bod again, satisfied and calm. I did not dream any more of the whispering voioo in the blackness of my silout chamber. No, indeed. I thought no more of it until two days later, whon I received a'dis- patch from Baden-Baden.

Brignao coughed slightly to clear his throat. "I positively insist that my child shall writo a legible hand," ho said, with a sad smilo.���������From tho French For Short Stories. It is undoubtedly a fact that our graiid- inothers, the pioneer women of the country, led more- laborious lives than the housewives of to-day. In spite of this fact, they bore their husbands healthy, robust sons and daughters, and did not become weak, complaining- invalids as a consequence. Theie are'probably several reasons for this. One is, that they lived more in the open air, and another, and probably the most influential of all, is that they were less prudish than the women of to-day.. They weie not ashamed to know something-" of their own physical make-up. They were not too nice to take care of their health in a womanly way. Women now-a-days suffer untold torttnes. in silence, because of weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organism, rather than consult a physician, or even talk upon the subject to their own husbands. They imagine that troubles of this description can only be cured by undergoing the disgusting examinations and local treatment insisted upon by the average modern nhysician.

De Beck of Vancouver. The property which constitutes ,the problem is located in, the Fire Mountain district near Skookum chuck ' It is about two miles from the Indian reserye and on the opposite side of the river from the old Cariboo road. About 900 feet above the level , of the river is a round hill which appears to have been subjected to volcanic action at some stage of its for- , mation. The burnt and, crystalled " quartz and other' material which form the hill all show abundant evidences of igneous action. The formation around the hill is broken and masses of altered dionte serpentine and porphyry arc encountered. Through those run streaks of quartz in most instances apparently making directly toward the hill first mentioned. Work was begun by running a tunnel in on one of these streaks. Though the walls are about ' three feet apart the actual pay streak is very narrow. Some of this is how- ', ever, tich, beyond belief. Samples have been brought to Vancouver that arc fairly frosted over and all through with fine gold. Assays running as high as $40,000 per ton have been secured from this rock. The tunnel is now iii'about s 70 feet and another 75 feet yet remain before the.main chimney will be bro'-c- ��������� en into. Meantime more surprises have been encountered. Itock containing masses of native silver has been taken out. Some show' native gold and silver in a highly crytaliine 'form, each' separate and ,, distinct, sprinkled through the rock. Again along one of the ribbons.there is found a leaf of selid gold from 1-16 to 1-32 of an inch thick. Considerable sheets of ^this have been encountered. Some of the vein matter contains from pyrites, copper pyrites, tellurides arid other minerals. The whole forms one of the most unique mineral formations ever encountered in British Columbia. There are six claims1 in all in the group. These are the Woodstock, Bluebell, Bonnie Scotland, (Jarleton,. Skookum and Mohawk. So far five leads, outside ofthe peculiar one first noted, have been discovered. These run from , trates'up to as high as'$8S per ton in gold and have been averaged at $14 per ton in free milling values. A company called the Dei Ecuador has been formed with a capitalization of ?500,- 000 for the purpose of handling the claims. Great, things are ' expected when the tunnel now being run cuts the main chimney. old stylei grandfather's caps you are wearing in your stores, offices and residences and get nature's own protection for baldneis, hair, as invented by Prof. Dorenwend.

ATEHTIOH TRAYELLIM PUBLIC. Attracting Attention This Way. Straws, it is proverbially stated,Bhow which way the wind blows, and it is therefore interesting to note as indicating the considerable attention now being accorded to'British Columbia mining affairs abroad, the space devoted in leading European and American journals and publications to articles descriptive, of the provincial mines and camps. In theiEnginceering and Mining Journal, of Kew York, Mr. W. M. Brewer, who is also a valued contributor to the Mining Itecord, is writing a series of admirable articles on this subject, and in the London Mining Journal in addition to regularly publishing letters from its well-informed Vancouver correspondent, hardly allows a week to pass without commenting in a favorable strain anent the province's mining possibilities. These two journals an the most influential authorities on mining in respectively theoldandthe new world, and the opinions they advance arc invariably received in the highest quarters with respect. Another journal that is doing' good work for the Province in England is the British Columbia Review; which has now been in pjustancc rather more than a year.

The Alki Gold Mining company is in trouble over the title to its property, the Iron Horse fraction, otherwise known as the Alki, near the Georgia and north of the Iron Horse. The property was located as the Iron Horse fraction, but the company' informally changed the name to the Alki. Some time since a certificate of work was applied for and secured for tho claim under the name of the Alki, but as no such location was extant on the books of the recorder's office the ccrtificiUe was not valid,and the property became subject to relocation. T. P. O'Farrell, who claims an account from the company for services rendered, promptly relocated the property under the-Jiame of the Alki, and now declares thnt he intends to hold the property until the company settles with him to the amount which he says is duo for his services. The company on its part has filed a notice with the mining recorder, setting forth that its certificate for the Alki instead of for tho Iron Horse fraction was secured in good faith and expresses its wish to have its title to the ground confirmed.

Its Advantages' as a Distributing Center. Rosebery is the only town in Kootenay having ' both railroad and steamboat connection that can t ship goods daily to ten different towns, whereby the shipper can see his wares leave his hands and that they will b* received by tlie consignee within'two hours.' Its Advantages as a Eailroad Center. Rosebery enjoys the position of king of the ' funnell as it .were, for the railroad business of the whole of the Kootenays. All ore 'and matter for shipment from Nelson, Trail Creek and the Slocan must, and is now passing out this way to the main line of the C. P. R., as well as all goods coming in from Revelstoke to the Kootenay country. ' > NOTE. To substantiate this: The C. P. R. are now putting in track weigh scales at Rosebery, the first and only scales that has been put in on any of the C. P.'R. branches in Kootenay���������which- goes to show the .importance of this point by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company's actions. ��������� Its Advantages as a Steamboat Point. Rosebery claims, without opposition, of being k the only junction on the lake, unlike Slocan City, where you can step of) the steamer to a waiting, train and continue your journey. You can take either a north or south train at this terminus; con- ���������sequently Rosebery is the best transient town in the race. Nevertheless we claim Slocan City second in importance, and would say watch the head and foot of Slocan Lake, viz -^ ' Its Advantages as a Manufacturing Center. As a manufacturing center Rosebery claims to have demonstrated the fact that after the careful observation of the Denver (Colorado) Ore Coy's manager, as the natural advantages of all points in Kootenay for the treatment of ores the cheapest, Rosebery was selected, and they now are erecting r works, with a capacity of'250 tons per day, which will be in operation within 90 days; and it is their intention to pay out monthly in tlie vicinity of $100,000. I might also add Rosebery has the " ' -largest water power from Wilson river flowing into Slocan Lake. AS TO CLIMATE. Rosebery claims the mildest climate on Slocan ' Lake, from its admirable southern exposure and absolute shelter from the north; snow always leaves the place about the 15th of March. t. AS A TOWNSITE. As a townsite, Rosebery is without a peer. It is possessed of all the flat land available at the mouth of the Wilson river leading to the valley mining region���������consequently there is no danger of any contagion. The title is a Crown Grant and is perfect. Ail purchasers of lots are safe in this respect. The only safe speculative townsite in the Slocan is Rosebery. Why should I say the only safe speculative town- site in tlie Slocan ? Because Rosebery business lots to-day are only $150 to $200 each and are ' bound to increase rapidly this summer. These figures can, and will, double before long. The time to buy is now. Don't wait till they arc from $700 to $1,000, as you did in Slocan City last May, go in on the ground floor and make a few dollars in speculation; if you want to invest go to Vancouver or Winnipeg ; if you want to speculate and and clean up money go quick to Rosebery before lots arc out of sight. What's Wanted in Rosebery. We want a restaurant. We want a good hotel right away. We want a first-class general store. We want a butcher shop. Anyone looking for an opening spy out this place at once. Maps and price-lists on application; prices run from $75 to $200. TERMS : One-third cash, balance 3 and 6 months.
