MY Brewer, M. E., late of the Alabama State Geological Survey.) During the recent flying trip which I made through tlie Slocan and West Kootenay districts I was very strongly impressed with the magnitude of the superficial area which is known to be mineral-bearing in the Province, of British Columbia. I use the expression ''known to be,\" although large portions of the province are to-day comparatively ������unexplored, because when the main rivers which drain the entire territory west of Calgary are today producing placer gold in paying quantities, after having been, many of them, mined for upwards' of thirty yeats, it is a very safe conclusion te arrive at, that with in the confines oi this territory occur the source from whence all this placer gold has come. The magnitude is also determined by the fact that, nearly every range of mountains which has receivedthe attention of prospectors, mineral-bearing ore ha* been foHnd, - both in paying quantity and grade. Another feature with regard to the mineral resources of the province . which cannot fail to create a most profound impression on the mind of a visitor who gives the question serious thought, is the fact that such a large area of the province is practically unknown to any except the Indians. Not onlv does this apply to districts remote from railroad transportation, but it is true of localities in the immediate vicinity of many of the railroad towns, nnd especially, also of the richest mining camps. \\ WEAK TOIHT'lN THB MfHEKAI, ACT. I do not mean by this that around the mineral camps the ground has not been covered by prospectors, but that even these prospectors who have staked locations themselves know practically little with regard to occurrence, extent or permanancy of the ore in the claims they have recorded. That such a condition exists is the only weak point in my opinion of the mining laws of the - province,-beca.use.prior-to recording a\" . claim no definite work, even to show the \"rock in place\" is required of the discoverer. And by this omission the custom has resulted notenly of staking nnd recording claims without previously buying determined the actual occurrence of ore->\"--'rock in plac-j\"���������beyond lhe finding of a few surface out-crop- pings or float which may have been c.irried for miles, but also of relocating year after year these same claims through collusion with friends: The answer of one piominentmining man to my criticism on this subject a few days since was:���������\"You see we have so many brokers who are engaged in floating mining companies and who nee perfectly willing to pay a prospector a few hundred dollars merely for the acreage of- the location, caring nothing at all whether there is any value attached to it beyond that. By these promoters the prospector is urged to stake claims and rush through the country from one district to another with only one aim or ambition ahead of him ; that of recording as many locations during the year as possible to turn in to the promoter at the price of one, two or three hundred dollars apiece.\" Of course many locations mu.de in this manner are eventually developed to a more or less extent, but usually not until the broker /had transferred tlie \"location\" to some corporation, .capitalized at six or seven figures, the shareholders of which are rarely local lesidents. According to the old maxim \"All is woll that end/* well,\" it would make but very little difference if all of the locations were developed or thoroughly exploited, whether the work was done by prospectors themselves or by corporation, but only a very small proportion of such locations up to the present time have received any atten- JLipn further than the recording and the relocating. To'remedy such a condition of things js pojb b,o .easy but your provincial min- (fralpgigt, Mr. Carlyle, has offered a suggestion which I find mining men in the pountryi.endorse. Thjs is the passage of a law compelling the performance of a certain amount of work within ninety days after recording the claim. Of course it may be urged that a stranger has little right to criticize the Jaw or regulations under which the people of the provinee have lived and prospered for many years, but in this mid the articles to follow I propose to comply with the request of the editor ofthe Record arid relate my firs', impressions of the mineral producing districts ofthe province exactly as they occurred to jriyself during my travels. Of course the fact of snotf being on (he ground in all of the mining camps eouth of the Canadian Pacific railroad or fifteen feet reduced my opportunities of observation to a minimum so far as the surface indications were concerned. But through the courtesy of West' several of the superintendents of mining companies in the districts I was enabled to take advantage of other men's experience by seeing several mines which had been developed quite extensively through their underground workings,���������many of them dividend payers. THE TREMATUKE PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS. The policy of paying dividends is certainly a most praiseworthy one,but the idea occurs to me that sometimes - the greed for dividends is satisfied at the expense of the mine, and really event- tually to the cost or sorrow of the shareholders themselves. Because when the ore is in sight it is mined, and treated from hand to mouth as it were, instead of development work being carried ahead so that at all times there is blocked out in the underground workings sufficient ore to guarantee a steady output for months or even years to come; some contingency may arise at any moment through '\"faulting\" or some freak of nature wnich causes a cessation of shipm. nts, and not only are dividends then out of the question, but by want of funds the mine operations themselves step. It occurs to mc that all shareholders in British Columbia companies .Yould in tho future be very much better satisfied if a policy were adopted which compelled the directors o not only keep at all times a proportion of the laborers in the mines engaged in proaLecting or development work for future sloping, but also a certain percentage of the earnings in the treasury as surplus to be used in case of such a contingency as I have mentioned occurring. NATURE'S HIGHWAYS. Tlie botint3r of Nature in providing the highways which the waterways of the province really constitute, is another feature which cappot fail to impress the naiiid of the observant visitor. The system of lakes renchingsoutherly from the Canadian Pacific main line; has afforded a m'ans of ingrei-s and egress to the Slocan , and ��������� Kootenay districts, without which their development would have been impracticable because of the enormous investment which would have been necessary in the construction of railroads Although the outside' world has heard of the Kootenay mines since their discovery, yet but comparatively few of the people residing beyond the boundarv have any intelligent idea of the routes by which these mining districts are reached. And even those few who know through information gathered from reports and maps the best route by which to travel have no conception of the grandeur and pio- turesqueness of the trip Irom Victoria by the C. P. R. I doubt if the beauty of the scenery even can be equalled any win re else iii the world. 0. course there are manj grand and beautiful spots which stand unsurpassed for beauty and granduor, such as Royal George, of the Arkansas river,in Colorado, spots in the Yellowstone park in Wvoming, to say nothing of scenes in the Alps and mountainous sections in other foreign countries. But by the route I have mentioned, one is travel* ling through scenery which for the entire, distance keeps one's attention absorbed. The mining districts can now be conveniently reached from the north or the south, because from Revelstoke, on the Canadian Pacific, there is being operated a direct system which connects the main line with the various camps, the trip being made partly hy rail and partly by water. From the south the mines can be reached by.railroad from Spokane Falls, in the State of Washington. The trip by Canadian Pacific system is divided as follows ; Rail from Revelstoke to Arrow Head, distance 27 miles down the Columbia'river. Here the head of the Hike known as the Upper Arrow is reached, and thence to Nakusp, at, the foot of the lake, the traveller is transported by steamer. From Nakusp to Sandon, in the heart of the Slocan, the,railway is used; but between Sandon and Nelson Slocan lake is traversed its entire distance by steamer, and at Sleoan City one again takes to the cars. This branch of the railway follows for a long distance down the Slocan river, then crosses a narrpw divide to the j������ootcn*y rives, along the south bank of which it asr pends to the southern extremity of the west arm of the Kootenay lake, whioh it crosses almost within the city limits of Nelson. Jn the return trip it is not even necessary to travel over the same route, but instead, the cars a.re used from Nelson to Rpbson, where: transfer is made to steamer, and the entire length qf both the Lower and Upper Arrow lakes, as well a������ the portion of the Columbia which connects jihem, is traversed, the only poptjon of the round trip which is necessarily re? peated is that from Nakusp to Revelstoke, 1 have volunteered this infor������ the States and elsewhere who now pro pose visiting this section. THE QUEEN BESS. Sandon was the first mining camp I visited. Owing to the extreme depth ofsnowitwas impossible to obtain any information from observation as to the surface outcroppings here, but through the courtesy of Mr. Rath- hone, superintendent of the \"Queen Bess,\"which is located about four miles west of the town, I was nflbrJed an opportunity to see the underground workings in this mine. The systun of working by tunnel, which is alni.ist universally adopted throughout the Slocnn and Kootenay districts, has been followed at the Queen Bess. Of | lie advantages of mining by this system I will refer to later. Tho ore body in the Queen Bess is found usually in the metamorphosed argillites, but at some points the vein has cut across tlie eruptive phorphyrites, which as dykes are intrusions and have cut off the slates. The trend of the argillites, is northwesterly, while^the strike of the vein is north-easterly. Some idea of the complicated structure can readily be conceived when these facts are considered, as well as that of the ore body in some places is exposed at the contact between these different rocks, and at others 15 or 20 feet distant from lhe contact and the orupthe. But with all this irregularity, which would be very puzzling to a man not thoroughly acquainted with formations in the district, yet the experienced miner finds a certain regularity hiis been demonstrated when he thoroughly exploits the underground working*. In these it has been demonstrated that the highest grade ore and largest pockets are found in the argillites, rather than the eruptive rock, which evidently resisted fracture with a much greater force than in the case of [he slates. The thickness of th\" ore body varies from a few inches to abo.it lour feet. At the points where it is thickest tlie mineral occurs as solid galena, carrying silver and lead, or as carbonates. The proportion of the matter mined up to the present time is probably 25 per cent, of the entire product of thp mine. There shows in the workings a smaller vein parallel with the main ore body to which J have.been referring. Five drifts at different levels have been run, which have developed, the main ore body to a vertical dcp������ h of about 400 feet, and two have been run on the smaller vein. In the aggrwgate the length ofthe various openings, including cross-cutting, is about 8,000 feet, But comparativfly little stoplng has been done. In fact, nt tlie time of my visit, only one man was employed at that work, because no effort was being made to ship ore in greater quantities than sufficient to meet current expenses. The purpose of the management is to thoroughly develop the mine, and determine the quantity of ore \"in sight'\" and the probable per- manency ofthe veins. (Continued next week.) L This Time A Land Slide Occurring in the Star Gulch. A smashing, crashing noise, and the gradual subsidnnce of the electric lights Saturday evening at 8.30 assured the people that something unusual had happened, but it was some little time before many knew what. it was. It was soon told, however, that a land slide had occurred up the gulch toward the Star mine and that it had broken one of the pipes feeding the electric light system. A visit to the spot shows that some 250 feet up the side of the south hill just above the large stable of the Star company, tlie earth gave way through the action of the water in the soil and came tumbling down, taking trees nearly three feet through, logs, rocks everything else on the side hill in the locality. The avalanche completely rilled the valle\\ the entire width and for a length of over 200 feet. Some oi the larger of the trees were broken like pipe-stems in the crnsh. ������������������ '' ' Two or three wagons and other effects around the stable were s.nashed to atoms. One log some two feet in diameter rah endways into the stable, but fortunately no injury befell either man or animal, though the Lafavor family and others close .by had too close a call to feel , very comfortable ever since. Had anyone been on the road in the way of the slide at the time, he would have met instant death as escape, on account of the uneven- ness of the ground and the width taken up by the debris, was impossible. To make the road passable again means considerable work for m.iny men for some days. The Elec ric Light company, however, got their repajrs'made in a very short time. A few days before another glide carpe down-fiom the opposite side ol\" the hill and vented its furry on Squire -Lovatt'p stable, shifting it several feet off Us foundation, breaking a wagon and so blocking the road that it took several days to clear it. lake to lake, that is it takes in Slocan City, Silverton, New Denver, Sandon, Kaslo, the Duncan River section and all intermediate points. The representative should be the choice of the people of this whole district, and not alone of any one section of it. To secure such a. man the whole district should be consulted. The only way to do it, is to select delegates from each town and district in proportion to the voting power of such district and have all meet at some central point, and there is none more central fl than Sandon, and there by a majority vote select the man.

The members of the Wisconsin Sta^e Press Association have received inti? tations. from the Canadian government and the Canadian Pacific railway company to make their annual excursion this year over Canada's great highway and visit the cities and mining districts of British Columbia. The excursion will leave. St. Paul on July 21, and after visiting the Rainy rirer and Lake of the Woods mining districts, will come west to have a look ������������������*\"t the mines and cities of Kootenay. Although general business at this town is not the very briskest, considerable is turned over in the course of the year. Several boats call there and transhipment as a consequence is very considerable. There used to be loud complaints against the lack of hotel accommodations, but there is no y round for it now as the Leland and the Grand are quite fit for a place of many thousand inhabitants The saw mills hsre are amongst the' largest in the whole country and certainly the most extensive in the whole of West Kootenay, and their shipments cover the entire country. As they have a large field from which to draw logs���������the entire lake system and up the Columbia river���������they get the best timber to be had in the interior. With the two large boilers they have in use and the third which is being put in, they have immense power, and they require it. As much boat building and repairing are done here they have to produce some of the largest timber on the shortest notice, and they are always equal to any and every emergency. For the best of house material such as.nooring and finishing lumber, they adopted a new course��������� they kiln dry all their lumber in the rough before planing and dressing. This enables them to produce all pieces true, and entirely free of warps. In a word they have machinery of the most improved patterns for doing all kinds of work in their line including turning, scroll sawing, brackets, etc., etc., for making everything required .in finishing a costly building from beginning to end, a complete institution. The managers say they have not lumber equal lo the best on the coast, as the logs are not to be had, but they approach them as closely as possible and are always pleased to make prices and terms to meet their customers as far as possible, They do an extensive business and are making every preparation to keep fully abreast of all requirements. so much better. If, however,' it is thought advisable to bring out government, opposition and oven independent candidates, each one of the three should be chosen in this way, and if so, in the final clioico by the electors, the choice of the greatest number regardless of section will'be obtained. While as a matter of fact, each section has more or less sectional interests, that will have their influence, most of the questions affecting this whole constituency have matters in common, so thaf any fair-minded, level-, headed, capable liberal man could easily represent the whole division without aiding or encouraging the clashing of sections, As we see matters no msn unreser- vedly committed to either government or opposition, could, represent this district with justice to all interests. As the constituency will be looking for many a day for absolute justice in governmental recognition, which some call favors, but which is not such in reality, the representative ought'to ba at least friendly and on workable terms with whoever, may be in power, and at the same time at liberty to oppose ill advised drains on the treasury, favoritism nepotism, extravagance, etc., in any administration. The representative should be a man of experience ,grasp and foresight, three elements in which the present House seems woefully lacking. It is not at all necessary that he Bhould be a talking maohine, as there appear to be plenty of these in the House already, but with judgemeut, experience, foresight, and grasp he should have language enough to express himself forcibly, clearly and. to the purpose. If with these essentials he has what is equally necessary, principle, he should well represent the Slocan division. Our only desire is to see the whole constituency properly represented in making the choice of such a candidate, and if it is the man so chosen, will have our warmest support. If he is the choice of a section only, or is in any way forced on the division by unworthy influences be cannot properly represent the division or secure the support of the electorate.' Vancouver to Have a Smelter. The Vancouver city council has accepted the offer made by the Anglo- Continental Public Works company of London, Eng., and that city is to have a smelter. Tne proposition in brief was as follows: It is stipulated that the city shall give the company a bonus of 50 cents per ton on the ore treated not exceeding 30,000 tons in any one year in return for which the company shall give the eity $50,000 in preference ' 10 per cent shares. The promoters said the works would yield a profit of ������39,000 a year, paying all interest on debentures and preference shares, and leaving ������31,000 for the shareholders. The city f?tfsH get ������&,-��������� 000 interest more, than the bonus it would pay. The' capacity of the smelter would be 350 tons a day. HALIFAX HAPPENINGS.

If we are to believe reports Kaslo. has already two candidates in tke field, one eaoh for and against the government and possibly a third, an inde- pendont.This constituency extends from Upon the retirement of W. A. Carlyle, provincial mineralogist, the position was offered to R. G. McConnell, of the Dominion Geological Survey. Mr. McConnell has, however, declined the office, preferring to remain with the Federal government. He and J. B. Tyrell have left for the Yukon and will spend the entire season in that district. \"Six months ago English mining operators would scarcely so much as listen to a proposition including a British Columbia property, but now they aro anxious to get a hold of any meritorious Kootenay mining interest.\" This concise epitome of the English market was given yesterday by G. F. Whiteman, of the late firm of Smith & Whiteman, who returned Sunday night from a stay of nine months in Great Britain on mining business. Mr. Whiteman, by the way, was seriously ill while in the old country but is now all right again, and will remain in the country all summer directing work on his properties, although ho expects to return to England next winter to avoid the cold weather. , \"When I arrived in England lust August,\" continued Mr. Whiteman, \"the mining market was practically dead. The collapses in West Australia and South Africa had completely taken away the appetite of the public for investments in even the\" most widely known mines, and as for properties in British Columbia, which to a large part of the public was hardly even a name, it was impossible to get so much as a hearing when thoy were to be presented. \" vVith the Klondyke boom, however, all this was changed. The tales of the phenoininal strikes on the Yukon attracted the attention of the entire world to Western Canada, and people who before couldn't have told you whether British Columbia was in South Africa or next to British Guina, suddenly began turning their attention this way with the result that their eyes were suddenly opened to the vast mineral resources of the province. The Klondyke boom is deader than a salt mackerel in London, but the big operators are looking to Kootenay as the scene of the world's next great mining exaitement. They do not expect, however, that the boom will.come this year. Confidence jnjrtin- ing is not yet \"fully restored, and it will take'time'for it to recover from the shock received in the West Australian failures, but 1899 should see the- attention of the whole English mining market focussed on this district, and when-the market does take up the Kootenay-s, all the money now accumulating in the safe deposit vaults for lack of field for investment will be thrown into the mining interests in the district. \"The English operators who are now taking hold in Trail Creek want at least partially developed properties with some ore in sight. Unopened prospects are useless, and it is impossible to place them. As it was undeveloped properties that I took over with me, I did not succeed in placing them, but I am here now to open them this summer, and next winter I shall offer them again in England, with, I hope, better success. \"On Sullivan creek, I shall work the Washington and Marydale, but I shall spend most of my time in operating the Imperial and Porcupine fraction, on Porcupine creek, near Ymir, where I shall have four men at work.\" \"What about the affect of the Hisp- ano-American war on local mining interests?\" Mr. Whiteman was asked. \"While the war will undoubtedly make money tighter, yet I think that it will help Kootenay by diverting hither English money, which would otherwise be spent in American industrial stocks.\" ���������Rossland' Miner. best that can ne prociued for the guests of the establishments so far as bar and tables are concerned. As we stated at the outset, the formal opening was introduced by a grand ball attended by about fifty couples of the \"youth and beauty\" of the city and surroundings, several being present from a distance, under invitations. The music by the Sandon orchestra was, as usual, <]uite up to the standard. Dancing Commenced shortly after 9 o'clock and was continued until 12 when supper was announced. The spacious dining hall of ���������' hotel seated nearly the entire assembly at the first table. The spread was choice, tastily gotten up and attended by most courteous and attentive waiters, wnich left nothing to be desired in this line. After supper dancing was resuming by the younger portion of the assembly and continued till nearly 3 a.m. All present vote the entertainment in all respects a decided hit, ahd conclude'that Mr. Harris, the proprietor, and Mr. McDonagh, ihe manager, are to be congratulated on the equipment of this palatial hostelry, and the completness of every detail of the arrangements for its formal opening, which gave' so much entoyment to all who attended the social entertainment.

In our last issue we gave the ore shipments of this district as 10,160, realising for the owners a gross value ' 'i of well on to one and a quarter million dollars, and this from properties that a few' years ago cost less than a quarter of a million dollars altogether. As mining goes in this section, about one-third of this gross value, or say $.|oo,ooo should go in wages to miners and other employees, who in the- ordinary course of things spend the most of their earnings in ihe city, a third more goes in mining requisites and the remaining one third in dividends ; that is in the lirst four months of this year the owners of the shipping mines in this district icceive more than their properties cost them altogether at the outset. There is nothing of the speculative in this statement, nothing of what the properties will do by and by, but all of what they have done and are doing right along. It is true, as some will assert, that it would take a sum of money beyond the reach of the ordinary business man to purchase a substantial interest in most of these properties ; but for equally profitable investments they need not do it, though even small investment, in any ol them on the share or stock principle bring in larger 1 profits than can be made in most commercial enterprises, and larger investments accordingly. What we desire here, however, more particularly to impress upon those in 'search of investments is, that the limit here is in no way exhausted, if indeed it is fairly begun. From the very nature of things the reasonable inference is that there are scores of properties here on which some development lias been done, and scores of ��������� others yet undiscovered that are likely to turn out as profitable under a moderate expenditure on development, as the best of those that are now yielding such handsome returns to their owners. This is what we would like all to fully -understand. The money to make these purchases and extend development on the \"properties when purchased is not to he had in these parts���������it must come from elsewhere, and one great pity is that a little of what has been. ..foolishly squandered on the Klondyke had not been expended in development here, where the chances are reduced to a minimum. We say \"chances\" because minining in all ages and in all countries has been attended by more' or less, chances. Every surface indication of minera's'is not always a guarantee of a certain, profitable mine ; but so far as human experience goes the chances here, we repeat, are re- ' duced to a minimum. After the prospector locates what he believes to he a vein of ore it costs less in this district .to'.prosecute' work ��������� until assurances, one way or the other, are reilized���������until it is ascertained \\ that the vein is either prentable or profitless���������-than it costs in any other portion of any mining country ever yet heard of, taking travelling, living expenses, etc. into . full consideration, which is the only basis,on which to make calculations. Of course men with large means can buy any properties, in any condition of development and can do as they like with them ; but a very satisfactory way is for a few men who have a little means among them and are willing to work,, to locate or purchase the whole or part interests in properties already located and unitedly push work until a proper conclusion can be reached. IJvery such eflort cannot, of course, be successful in exposing a valuable disco yery ; but the chances of failure here are less than they are, as we have said above, in any other district of the mining world. THE OPPOSITION FLOUNDERING,!. It is much to be regtetted that the finances of this province are not in a more, satisfactory shape, and the opposition appears to be much responsible for their undesirable condition, in that their policy appears to be more of the carping than grappling with subjects of moment and magnitude. We have a bonded debt now ���������of about seven millions with a yearly revenue the envy of all the other provinces of Confederation, and it is proposed to pile some four or five millions more on the back of these, to please a few speculators. Here is where art opposition should show its usefulness instead of carping at the cost of a 6 d inkstand., \\ In all well-regulated oppositions the, members arc classified for attack, the leaders never speaking except when the most important matters are .before the House. The smaller matters, of criticism;ari, always left to tire smaller men. , In the B. G. House, however, everything seem- at.;- heads and tails, no1 system . being followed beyond bodily fault Tinting with every govern ment measure as it conies up.' Now as a ma:ter of fact 'there can be, no government so bad or so corrupt as to have all of its measures worthy of,.unlimited censure. ;���������' .\" \"���������' We are convinced that an opposition oh'the suggestive plan could accomplish more for the country than one ground id i.i indiscriminate demolition. The government deserved unqualified condemnation for expend: ing as much money' as they spent'on parliament,buildings, so far,'removed from the centre of the province, but that act is passed, and that question is removed from the areaa of to-day. It is also- hlamtble for advancing as much money as it has advanced on irrigation, railway and similar- enterprises without, at. least, absolute sc-1 curity 'for'repayment!/which- in many advances it has not got; 'but the present proposition 'to bonus railways, because of its magnitude, is one of. the most faulty yet advanced. No monies' of a government or corporation should ever be voted on the \"log-rolling\" system,, that is, \"you help me to get this and I'll help you to get that,\" and the late railway proposition appears to be built on that altogether. If a provincial demand for aid cannot stand on.its own merits without being tacked on to some other kind of support, it ought .to be-:discarded, altogether. The government should have matured, ere this some well defined scheme for railway aid, and adhere\" to this altogether. This principle in the B. C. House appears to. be entirely wanting, and mortgaging our resources for all time appears to be the unqualified result.- Y ' fl8P*' ^ Hhon 6aA tar; worn hiH trousers onV * Thoy piios to brother Jolm. ��������� Thtthmotlirji* trims tiicm round nbout.

But still the, jarring note which had struck Jack disturbed the pleasant bar- ' niouy.and as day followed day his first suspicions were confirmed and intensified. However, ho could discover no intelligible explanation of the numberless trivial'incidents which, had not his attention been roused, would have entirely .escaped him. All he could be certain ahou.t was that his host unmistakably' manifested a strange antipathy toward his niece. This, however, did not pro- vent Jack and the girl from becoming close friends, and it seemed, at leasf 'to. Al. Barvaux, that their friendship was . rapidly ripening into a much stronger feeling. Jack felt that his host .was displeased at the turn of affairs, and he was' therefore not very much surprised when AL Barvaux, seizing a suitable opportunity,' asked him point' blan' wl.ut: were .his* feelings, \"toward the yuung lady. He replied-with perfect, frankness that'he was over head and, ears in love-with her. \"Ah, my friend,\" replied M. Barvaux, \"I am. very sorry for you. I should havffwamed you earlier.\" Sinking his voice to a hoarse whisper he continued, \"She is a murderess.\" Jack stared at him in amazement. Had he suddenly taken leavo of his souses? No, he seemed perfectly rational, although very agitated. In an excited voice he went on to describo how the girl was trying to poison him. Jack came to the conclusion that his friend was tho victim of a hallucination aiiiX resolved to hunior him. \"But she is so duvoted to your wife,\" said he. \"Yes, and that is why T daio not; speak. My wife thinks Angelinc is an angel, and I am afraid to say anything.\" On the next evening, the last one of Jack's stay, he was sitting in an easy chair.among the window curtains when suddenly ho heard the soft sweep of a woman's dress in the room. Ho turned and saw a figure in whito. \"Angoliue,\" was on his lips, and he was about to spring to his feet when ho saw something which turned him to stone. She was standing at the sideboard with a thick green glass vial, tho contents of which she was pouring into the decanter of wine specially reserved for M. Barvaux. His host's suspicions were, then, correct. Oh, thj horror of it I The girl he loved a poisoner! He could scarcely believe his senses, but after what M. Bar- mux had told him doubt seemed no longer possible,\" Tho girl left the room : as (jirietly as she, had/entered, closing the door as though afraid of being heard.. Jack rushed to the sideboard. He un-: stoppered the decanter. Yes, there was , certainly a' strange smell, which was not that of wine. What should he do��������� call' Angelina and accuse her on the spot? He,could not. Should ho tell his host? Should he pour away the poisoned, wine? Should he��������� But before he could make up his mind M. Barvaux, looking rather pale and disturbed, walked . in from the garden, and as ho did so hia wife and Angelina entered the room, and dinner was served.' The girl was dressed in whito, and a couple of glorious red roses gleamed in her black hair. Never before had she seemed so'beauti fnl to Jack. He asked himself if it were possible that so divine a creature could iJQi'se thoughts of murder in .her soul. But he could not forget what he had just witnessed, and ho resolved to be on his guard and prevent Al. Barvaux drinking tho wine. Supposing, after'���������:, all, ho'were to be wrong, how could he face tho girl ha loved al'ter'accusing her of such a foul aud unnatural deed? He was too'agitated to eat, and he observed that both M. Larvaux and Angelina seemed also preoccupied and ill at ease. At length he 'managed to make his, host' understand tli.il ho was not to touch the wine. The Belgian smiled wi '1 an almoat^sardonic expression und ej cd Augeline curiously Presentjy he r;.. ,ed the decanter and loaned over the t.ible, looking at hor the while with his deep set black eyes. \"Allow 1110, Ang'jlino,\" ho said, \"to pour y'611 out a glass of wino.\" \"2so���������no thank you,\" stammered the girl in an agitated .nannor. '���������Come���������-I insist. I will take' no refusal,\" he cried, springing to his feet and filling her glass:' Tho girl turned pule as death and seciiied to losoh'or power of self will. Half \"mechanically .-.he took tho.glass of wine and raised it \"j her lips. Shoempticd it'at 0110 gulp, and then sank back in her chair, where sho lay still aud w..ite. With a cry of ten v Afme. Barva.ix rushed to her assistance, but her husband commanded hi r not to touch th- girl. Jack was on Ilia teen in an in: mt, but was too bewildered to know -now to act. ��������� With a sickening si'iiso of tho confirmation of his worst suspicions he concluded that tho girl was poisomd, and off he,rushed for tho doctor. By good fortune he ran across the very pi. son ho was seeking. In a few words he told him ��������� his errand and '.implored, him to return with him at all haste. \"It is a mutter of life and death,\" he cried. '\"Let us run.\" \"Certainly, if you wish it, \"'replied the doctor, \"alth-ugh I may tell you matters aro not so serious as you im-- agine.\" \"But\"��������� \"Permit me to explain, monsieur. The young lady is not poisoned at all, as yon will see. '- ho wine sho drank was intended for Al.

Jack was lelicvcd beyond measure on hearing tho doctor's story, but the thought that ho had left the girl ho loved .with a man'subject to homicidal mania moderated his feelings of satis- luetiou, and, anxious to got back to assure himself of her safety, he tore away from tlie doctor, for he-ielt th.it, if an' attack suddenly nianifested itself iu Al.

MAY 14, 1898. THE MINING REVIEW. Forgotten Cuban History.. The Spanish government is making great pretensions as te its purpose to hold on to Cuba and i6 rejecting with apparent scorn every proposal that looks to the sale of the islan ', says the Philadelphia Press. It might be inferred from this that Spain never entertained any proposition that would alienate Cuba. History, however, speaks otherwise. About GO years ago when Maria Christina of Naples was Queen Regent of Spain she offered to sell not only Cuba, but Porto Rico and the Phillipine Islands also to Louis Phillipe, who then .=nt on tlie throne France.' Senor Campuzano was the Spanish diplomat delegated to conduct the negotiations for the sale, while a Spanish banker residing in Paris, by the name of Augado, was to look aftei the financial part. The price agreed was 30,000,000 Spanish reals for Cuba, a-jd 10,000,000 reals for Porto Rico and the Phillipines. This would have been equal to a total of about $2,000,000 at the present time, a sum which looks ridiculously small when the value of these islands is considered. The bar gain was made on this basis, however, and the papers relating to Cuba wore signed, notwithstanding sotn controversy over the manner and method of piyiug the nionoy. But when the negotiations reached Porto Rico and the Phillipines, Louis Phillipe began to . haggle about the price. He could not gorget that he win? a tradesman before he was a king, and his propensity to \"beat, down\" assorted itself. He claimed that 10,000,000 reals was an ample sum to pay for them. This amount he declared was all he would pay for the islands, and said that if not acceptable \"the contracts must be thrown into the fire.\" The Spanish diplomat, angered by what he considered royal meanness, suiting his actions to Louis Phillips's words, seized both the Cuban and Porto Rico-Phillipine contracts and threw them into the fire, and ended the negociations. What the subsequent fate of Cuba might have been had this bargain bee ��������� car- red out, it is useless to conjecture.

(S n The many advantages enjoyed by Rosebery put before the public, CLAIMED WITHOUT ' OPPOSITION. . Its Advantages as a Distributing Center. * Rosebery is the only town in Kootenay having- both railroad and steamboat connection that can ship goods daily to ten different towns, whereby the shipper can sec- his wares leave his hands and that . they will be received by the consignee within'two hours. Its Advantages as a Railroad Center, Rosebery enjoys the position of king of the funncll 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 the only junction on the lake, unlike Slocan City, ' where you can step off the steamer to a waiting * ' train and continue your journey. You can take either a north or south train at this terminus j. consequently Rosebery/is the best transient town in the' race. Nervertheless 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 forJ:the treatment of ores the cheapest, Rosebery was selected, and they now are erecting 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 the vicinity of $100,000. [ 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. AS A TOWNS/TE. As a town site, 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��������� '' s mining region���������consequently there is 110 danger of . any contagion- The. title is' a Crown Giant-and is perfect. All 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-'-Y- site iu the 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 waittill they are 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 Van- ��������� Couver or Winnipeg ; if you want to speculate and and clean up money go quick to Rosebery before . lots are out of sight. .-.-.-' What's Wanted in Rosebery.
