The great trial is over and such a farce! C. Hansen and Ed. Cusic were arrested and placed under bonds for unmercifully beating Wat Gray in front of a saloon on Monday night week, it was reported around town in the interval, Gray was robbed of $G0O. After a couple of adjournments the case came up before Judge Lilly on Tuesday, the prisoners being represented by M. L. Grimrnett and F. L. Christie respectively, Gray saying he did not want,a counsel. From Gray's own evidence and f the stories he told in the interval, he deserved to lose all money he had; but fcliis does not justify' the treatment he received from the offenders; whoever they were. Any man who will come to town with a lot of monoy on him, get beastly drunk, visit the brothals and lounge around, must expect serious consequences. At the trial, it was evident he was intimidated, and failed to tell all he knew about his assailants, for anyone know-, ing the people as well as Gray knew them, and who was able to walk from saloon to saloon, was sober enough to identify assailants if he wanted to do it. However, all told, six or "eight witnesses were examined, all of whom saw more or less of the fight, hut there was no one who knew who struck the blows. On this point everything was a perfect blank. Generally speaking there, is a msh to such fracases as that; was, but in this case not one pf the witnesses ^V,appears.to,have any ctiriosity.'apd.fts a. consequence they'.'.could not tell .any-J thingto incriminate any'one, and as a result the judge had* -;totacquit the defendants. .- \ ������������������.'.��������� : .:-:������������������' It appears to us repetions of this kind are going to inaugurate Coenr d' Alene troubles where mob law will prevail: It will certainly be the case iinlessprovin-.: eial officers are brought in to workup the cases. The .people are. afraid of police expenses, and, of course, one nnan each on, night and day service cannot be everywhere at the same time. It will now be in order for the gul- chite to continue its abuse of the police officers for not securing the conviction ' of some one, when the Angel Gabriel could not do it.'with'trie evidence of the witnesses examined, Since the trial some people have told us so and so should have been subpoenaed as witnesses, but strange to.pay, they did not tell the authorities what they knew until the trial was over.

Meeting of the City Council. Mayor Pitts, Chief and Two Ledges at the Wonderful. !; W. W. Warner reports having found another ledge, two feet wide, on the Wonderful, with a eood showing of rich ore. This was; encountered after, some 150 feet of tunnel, and the men are now drifting under his direction. About two weeks ago the first discovery was mudearid he came up from Spokane to look into the; matter. The latest find assays something like 115 ounces in silver and 70 per cent.lead. It is evident that the workings were once developed, but covered up again, for some reasons unknown, by one of the late managers. As the property has not been developed for some time the stock went down, but as considerable shipping will be done shortly the Btock will go up at once. Ii the property turns as expected, Mr. Warner will establish for himself an enviable reputation as a successful Mining Engineer, as heretofore all attempts to locate the much sought for ledge have proved a failure. At present ten men are working on the property, and the ore is being hauled to the C. P. R. track for shipment at an early date. Sandon Ore Shipments. The following are the ore shipments from here this week: Mine. Tons. Last Chance , 60 Ivanhoe... 40 American Boy.... 20 Alderman Lovatt Stubbs Resign. The regular meeting of the city council was held on Monday evening last. The minutes of last meeting were read. Correspondence from the Minister of Mines re flume appropriation of $2,000 was read and filed. A letter was received from the Provincial Secretary appointing E. A. Cameron as police and license commissioner. Lady Minto sent in a circular asking for aid to help the cottage hospital fund. It was decided not to send any money for that project at present. E. M. Sandilands presented a communication to the effect that $195 was ���������due him as poll tax. The amount will be paid him as soon as possible. ,D. M; Thompson, of Spbkane, sent in an invitation asking the citizens of Sandon to attend a demonstration to be given President McKinley in that city shortly. The city clerk made a fitting reply of thanks. The police commissioner's report for April realized $272. the scavenger's $1S.50 and the dog tax $22. A motion was moved by. Aid. Duffy suconded by Aid.

ARRANGING ANNUITIES FOR THE KING AND ROYAL FAMILY. Iatere*!liiK Kits of History About Provisions Made for England's' ttclfjiiliiK Monarch���������What Gladstone Said. i Within a few weeks Parliament will be called upon to arrange a new Civil List. If Lhe relations between the Crown and the House of Commons ;were not harmonious, Lhe question might present a serious difficulty,- The question of Crown lands and email brunches of hereditary revenue was made by the late Queen���������following ihe example of William IV.���������for her life only, Lhe consideration given Parliament in exchange beiug an annual grant of ������385,000. Since that the Crown lands and small hereditary 'branches of revenue have grown largely in value, and it ia a moot point with theconsiitulional lawyers whether the new monarch might not establish u right, to receive them instead of a fixed allowance from Parliament. TO REMOVE DOUBTS. The property the use of which was "surrendered for .the Queen's life" did not include the income ofthe Duchy of Lancaster , into (lie possession of .which the new King immediately enters. ; An act passed at the beginning of the reign of George IV. was entitled "An Act to remove doubis,"���������the doubts be me " as to the continuance of the hereditary revenues in Scotland." An Act. passed in the first ���������year of the reign of King William IV. had for its ,end "to repeal certain of the duties on cider in the United Kingdom, and on beer and ale in Great Britain, and to make other provision in relation thereto.'* The explanation is that these duties were perquisites of the Crown which on the other hand, had to bear certain charges such us salaries of Ambassadors, etc.,of which it'was, to be relieved. The agreement, by ���������which' King Wil- liajn IV. gave up various; emoluments in favor of a fixed income -granted by Parliament was. decorously stated in the* Act as' arising from "a desire on 'his. part to keep his expenditure within due limits." been passed in regard to the members of the late Queen's own family. HIS GREAT SPEECH. The debate on the grant for the indirect benefit of the Prince of Wales' family is' memorable in Parliamentary annals' because of the great speech delivered by Mr. Gladstone Ln support of the proposal. He emphasized the principle .that Ministers were servants of the Crown as well us servants of the people, concluding with the words: " I um Hot ashamed to say that in my old uge I rejoice in any opportunity which enables me to testify that whatever may be thought of my opinions in Kenera-1 politics, Ido not-forget the service which t have borne for so many years 10 the illustrious representative of lhe British monarchy." , | j3$������-- ��������� ��������� ������������������ PRINTING BY DYNAMITE. An Engineer's Experience Willi llic Weadly Explosive. 1 once saw a man drop a dynamite cartridge from his hand, said an engineer the other day. There was an explosion, and the man was blown to pieces. On another occasion I 6aw a case of 400 cartridges fall down a mine-shaft a distance of 1,200ft., without exploding. But that is the STORIES Of THE THROHE ABOUT HER LATE MAJESTY AND HER SON KING EDWARD. The Victorian Era la Figures���������Xnterenlliii; HeljUloiDi About Ills Majesty Kins E������lward���������Personal Items. The Victorian Era has taken its plaoe in history. It <Jawned at twenty minutes past two on the morning of June 20, 1837, and closed at half-past six on the evening of January 22, 1901. Tt lasted 23,223 days, 557,380 full hours 33,443,170 minutes, and 2,OOG,590,200 seconds. All but 54G 1-2 hours of it were in Lhe nineteenth century. It helps us t,o realize Lhe importance of tha Victorian Era in history when we remember that only thirty reigna of the same length w.ouLd take us back to Julms Caesar. . ; SAID SHE WAS DEAD. lias between high inurk. and low water ���������Four years ago one of the best known papers in Paris carne out with the startling story that Queen Victoria was dead, and that she had been dead for eighteen years! It was asserted that the Queen's death had ...... , | been kept secret for reasons of way with dynamite��������� -you never know J \ , . .. ... , ,, ��������� ,. ��������� ,. ; State, and that any two or three per- what :t will do. Sometimes the i J ,.,,,. .,, , , ., ,, j. 5 sous in the Empire knew the secret, slightest jar will explode it, and at j __ _ .. .l others iL can be thrown auout in the THE QUEEN'S INCOME. i It is curious to notice that when the proposal came before the House, of Lords for fixing the late Queen's income on the terms;, mentioned, Lord Brougham entered a lengthy written protest against it. His contention, which he laboured over many folio's and with admirable phrases to enforce, was that the agreement ought, to be renewable frem time to time, because if the. |youx>ig .Queen's life were to be long, as they all hoped and expected, circumstances might change very materially., .; . /VOTING-' ANNUITIES. The last occasion on which the provisions of the Civil List were discussed in Parliament, was in tho session of 1889, when a proposal was made for a special grant of ������30,000 a year fox the -Prince of Wales, for his convenience in .making allowances, to his family, the reason,. of; course, being that his swns had then reached an age when they required a considerable income. Parliament had many years, before fvoted to the Prince of Wales an annuity of ������-10,000 a-year, on the assumption that the Duchy, of Cornwall ihe Income of which came to hirn as the eldest son of the Sovereign, yielded him another ������Gi),000 yearly. Parliament had als/o voted the Princess of Wa Jea'; an /annuity of ������10,000 thus ranking the public income of the nousenoki d the 'loir-Apparent up-to 1880 the puin; of ������110,000 yearly. The additional annuity fyr -,������3(1,00')'���������: was made to the Prince of.Wales instead of his children to avoid a recognition cf the third generation, to this extent. Special v,otes. had, of course, most careless manner. , I have seen a whole cartridge of dynamite thrown into the furnace of a steam-engine, and Lhe sLuff flared up without doing any damage. 1 saw a man who had become excited at a burning cartridge throw, it to the ground and trample on it, trying to tramp out the flames, and the man lived to tell the tale. It is of frequent occurrence that dynamite is accidentally set alight. This happens, mostly in winter. The cartridges then freeze. In that condition they are useless as far as blasting is concerned, for, whether confined or not, they simply burn. To thaw them it is necessary either to immerse them in hot water or to place them near a'fire. I once made a number of experiments to prove the downward action of dynamite. A number of blocks of iron, six inches in diameter, and three inches thick, were practised upon. An ordinary newspaper was spread over owe of the blocks. A cartridge of dynamite was placed on top of the paper, and, after being connected with a fus������ and covered with a heap of dirt, the charge-was set off. When the block was examined after the explosion, the print of the paper was distinctly impressed into the surface of the iron. The reason was that the paper where the printers' ink had touched it was harder than the rest of the paper, and by the incredibly hard and sudden blow struck by the dynamite the imprint of the shape of.the letters was made as plainly on the iron as if it had been, cheese. GOOD CAUSE FOR GRATITUDE. To the many jgood stories about Lord Brampton, better remembered as Sir Henry Hawkins, there is apparently no end. Here is one. On a certain day he happened to arrive at a railway station, and nvas at once accosted by a rough fellow, who seemed very anx- ioua to assist him in handling his., baggage. Struck with his friendliness, Sir Henry said, You seem very desirous of helping me, my friend. That's what I am, sir, replied the man. You see, (sir, once you did me. a good turn. Yes? asked the judge. When ancl where pray? Well, said the fellow, it was when you.'ung Crooked Billy. Me an' Billy onct was .pals, but we fell out, and Billy says U3 'ow Riext time 'e dropped eyes on me 'e'ddo for me with a knife. I knowed Billy, and knowed 'e'd do a$ 'e said ; and so 'e would, sir, if you Jadri't 'ung him in time. ,So I'd 'like to^ do tyou a eood turn, too, Sir 'Er:.vy, j Her Majesty, iL was said, was per-1 sonated on certain occasions by a woman of humble origin who bore a striking resembLance to' her. The Duke of Norfolk must have been obliged to smile at l.imself in his capacity of dictator to the ladies of England on the matter of mourning. He. has been a widower for some years, and his sisters who are his only feminine advisers, belong to a group of ladies who observe, on religious principles, an almost quaker-like plainness ot dress. > :'-'-; WHAT THE KING OWNS. . It is understood that the King will vacate Malborough House, with which he has'been so long associated, and that the building will be occupied by the Heiir-Apparent., Built on the site oif the: ancient pheasantry of St. James' Palace, from designs by Wren, for the great Duke, of Marlborough, it was first.occupied in .1710. The King Ls proprietor of the beds of all British tidal rivers, such as the Thames, the Mersey, the 'Tyne, and others. He atso owns that part of the share all around the coast line which WHY NOT KINGDOMS? Queen Elizabeth was commonly spoken of as Queen of Virginia. Virginia and Carolina were kingdoms under the Stuarts. Massachusetts was recognized as a "sister kingdom" by Cromwell's Parliament. Nova Scotia was also a kingdom. It is suggested in the London Times that Canada, Australia, and New, Zealand should be raised to the dignity of Kingdoms. King Edward Vll. is ,Lhe firsL JJri- Lish monarch .since the days of James II. who has Laken' a personal interest in golf. His'Majesty has held tho captaincy of Si. Andrews; he has several times taken part in, a game, at Cannes; and he. has enjoyed a game on one or two private links, more particularly on that of the Grand Duke Michael, in the home counties. Hence it is that tho proposal is already being made (hat at a suitable moment his Majesty should be asked (o associate himself wilh the game in the most distinguished honorary capacity possible. NEARLY LOST HIS LIFE. A Paris correspondent relates a curious episode in the life of King Edward when Prince of Wales, which but for a providential circumstance, would have resulted in his death. The Prince had engaged a box for , the evening at the Odeon Theatre, a'nd ordered dinner for himself and a friend at the Restaurant Foyot, which is situated at the back of the theatre. Two hours before the play, the Prince received a visit from the Prince de Pcix, who was so full of praise of a play which was to be represented that evening at the Opera that the Prince of Wales renounced going to the Odeon, countermanded the dinner, and dined at his hotel. At the time when the Prince would have been seated at the Restaurant Foyot a bomb exploded under the table which was reserved for him. ; The well-known author, Laurent Tail- hade, who was seated at-;, .the next table was seriously'-wounded by a splinter, and lost the sight of one eye^ The criminal < was. never discovered, and so far as the Prince was concern-- ed the police judged it advisable to keep silence. ! i": CCHE BEST WAY...

I . j i ' I SELECTED' RECIPES. i Stuffed Roast Rib.���������First the "critter" should never be over eight" or 10 months' old. Have the ribs taken whole, that is, fast together, from one side, drop them into a kettle with about two tjuarts boiling water already seasoned with salt, pepper and ��������� sage, and a small cup of meat prepared as' for sausage. Boil 15 minutes, turning several times to have each part scalded alike, and then take out the rib, roll and- wind with a cord. Take one quart dry bread crumbs, mois.ten with broth from the kettle, adding all of the chopped meat and a lump of butter tho size of an egg. Mix all thoroughly together, and fill the roll, pressing it closely. Place the roll in baking pan with the balance of the broth from the kettle, adding a little more, water if necessary, and bake in a moderate oven one and one-half hours, turning! frequently, unless a covered pan is used. .When done, .take out upon a platter, cut and remove the cord, when a thin, sharp knife may be run through between the ribs, and the roll still kept intact. Garnish with fresh cress or in any desired way. i A Cheap Stew.���������Take a sausage, apiece for each member of the family, remove the casings, tear in bits, and fry slightly in the kettle before adding water, then take all kinds of vegetables you like, using your judgment as to what amount may bo required for your family, slice them and cook until done. Then add a little floured water for thickening. You can have dumplings by putting them into a steamer over this stew when it iixst boils, and letting them remain until the stew, is done, which will be in about~80 minutes- <To Cook Fish'.���������A nice way to cook any small fish' is to clean thoroughly, and parboil for five minutes'. Take gome light brown paper and make for each fish a case large enough to alip the fish in, and about two inches longer than tlie fish. Secure them with a few stitches of white thread. Melt some butter, or use a little pure olive oil, and brush each case over with it. Place a fish in each case and bake in a hot oven 10 minutes. The ends of the cases should be closed by folding the \paper over. In the meantime make the following sauce: Chop six small .mushrooms, three shalots, a little parsley and place these all finely minced in a saucepan with one ounce butter, three tablespoons water, and a pinch of pepper and Bait. . Boil for five minutes, and. add the piece of a lemon. More sauce may be made, if required, following the . proportions given. Remove the fish from the oven, open one end of the case, and introduce one dessertspoon salt. Reclose, and after all are treated in the same manner, bake for 20 minutes. In serving.place upon'a platter and with a sharp knife remove the stitches in the case, but allow the fish to remain on the oiled paper. Garnish iwith parsley or cresses. . j Cinnamon Buns'.���������In one and a half pints warm milk dissolve two yeast cakes', add lhalf cup each of sugar and butter,- a pinch of salt, one egg and cinnamon to flavor. Mix with enough flour to make a soft dough. Let rise over night, and in the morning, roll out one-half inch thick in long strips. Spread melted butter over it, and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Roll up, flatten a little and cut into slices three-fourths of an inch wide. Place on greased tins, cut side up, Jet' rise and bake in a moderate oven. Grated nutmeg may be used if cinnamon is' disliked. , Apple Custard Pie.���������Two raw. apples, one cup sugar, one tablespoon butter, a generous grating of nutmeg, two eggs" and one-cup milk. Select juicy apples: of a mild flavor, pare and grate. Cream the butter and sugar and add the spice, the beaten yolks of the egg, the milk, and the grated apple. Line a plate .with a crust, fill .with the custard, and bake until firm. iB,eat the .whites: of the eggs, and add two tablespoon's" sugar, pile it lightly over the pie, and color it delicately. New England Pudding.���������Cut into thin slices' half loaf brown bread and quarter loaf white bread. Butter each slice liberally. Arrange in a buttered pudding dish,' until the dish is half full, then pour a rich custard over them, Let tho custard eoak well in the bread before baking. Set the dish into one containing .water and bake .slowly. Chocolate Wafers'-���������MeLf. chocolate until smooth over boiling water, then stir stiff with confectioner's sugar, so it can bo rolled out and flavor with vanilla. Roll thin into wafers'. Tart Apple Pie.���������Select small, tart, ripe apples', wipe, core, and cut them in halves'. Line a shallow, dish with crust, then jplacof the apples upon the paste with the skin side down and fill the cavities.' with 6ugar, mixed with a little salt and lemon juice. Add about two tablespoons cold water. Bake until the apples are soft and when ,nearly ready to serve, cover with if meringue made of the whites of eggs'.;well beaten and three tablespoons powdered sugar. Place in tho oven and color a light brown. ��������� j " , | . BED SPREADS. (The newest thing in'the line of bed covering is' the hospital spread. It is of crinkled cotton, really a cotton crepon. It launders as easily as a sheet and does not need to be ironed. If you have difficulty in procuring tho wide hospital cloths, get the ordinary white cotton crepon, and machine- stitch together the two widths. A valance of the crepon Is often used around the bottom of tho bed. Medium-sized, oblong pillows are used without a bolster. Or you may use the stiff roll the width of the bed that is covered to match the spread and taken off at night to make-way,, for pillows. Hemstitched linen pillowcases, with' an embroidered monogram or initial at one end, in the centre, just above the hem, are considered the (very nicest pillow dressing. Where inexpensive cotton cases are used, embroidered linen Bhams are still considered in good taste. Marseilles spreads' aremuch used, and lace over silk, or ribbon and lace spreads and shams are liked by some; though it enn never be regarded as really wise and hygienic to use any sort of bed coverlet that cannot take a frequent turn at the laundry. Linen spreads in, tints to match a. bedroom color scheme are pretty, useful and inexpensive. The linen that is used for bedspreads does not come sheeting width;'40 inches is. the widest. A spread would require at least a width and a half. Tidies are not much' used nowadays, In the first place, wooden furniture ia much in vogue, and requires no protection ; and in the second place, the craze for good grooming, which means' such fastidious care of hands and hair, has rather done away with the necessity of protection. Tidies actually came in vogue with the once dreadful fashion of using hair oil, and now that oily hair is considered a criminal offence, the day of the tidy is. passing. WOULD TAKE NO CHANCES. , An old lady went to a station a little way out of the city and asked when the next train would go to Glasgow. Twelve-fifteen , said the ticket clerk. It was. then 9 a.m. Shortly afterwards the woman came again and asked the Bame question. Same reply. At ten o'clock the same question, same answer, and bo on at intervals of thirty minutes, until 11.30. Then the man was vexed. Madam, he said, no train will pass this station���������express, passenger or goods���������to Glasgow, or from Glasgow, until 12.15. Oh, responded the old lady, much relieved ; then I think I'll be safe to gang across the line. Plans have been adopted by the Temperance Committee of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church for a national campaign of education on the temperance question. SOUS OP CIIM'S WEST, KING EDWARD AND THE STRATHCONA HORSE. A. G. Kales, the Australian V,"ord Painter, Describes tuc Scene at King Edward's Reception to the Strnlhcuua.s. The following fine appreciation of (he Strathcona Horse is penned by A. G. Hales in the London Daily News: "The white untrodden snow lay thinly,, on the sweet grass, like a mantle of finest lace across the face of finest beauty. Buckingham Palace, weather-stained and soiled, seemed amidst that unstained handiwork of nature like some scarred veteran fresh from the'wars, girdled by girls, The clouds that all the morning draped the skj' rolled suddenly asunder, and the cold sun shone down and silvered everything it touched. It flashed on steel, and played amid tho plumes of mighty soldiers; it touched the King, and added something to his kingly state; it fell around our Queen caressingly. Her black-robed figure flanked by snow-crowned terraces, added a touch of pathos to the scene that brought back other memories. I looked around, and saw the faces of men whose hands have helped to make our Empire's history. Roberts was there, keen, quick and bright, his every action full of vigorous life; no mincing step, no shuffling, dawdling gait, his step was like his tongue, brisk, bold and sharp, seeming to tell of years of work still stored in that small frame should England need it. Buller was standing by, his great stature making the earl look smaller by comparison, and quite a host of lesser men were crowding round the King. I heard .���������'��������������������������� THE ROLL OF DRUMS, the quick command, the rattle of rifles as. they rose and fell, then our Canadian cousins: who had' fought for us against the Boers moved up to meet f/the King. How proud they looked, those close-knitted ,men, dressed in their plain khaki, no ornaments, no trappings, no mah-milinery ��������� lhey looked like men 'we'll fit to hold a nation's-flag, and 'hold it high, in time of storm and strife. There was no swagger in their steps; each soldier moved as if he knew that every hill in Africa, if they had tongues,,would bear him witness that he'd borne himself in battle like a man. If Canada ���������has more like these, then she is rich indeed. The King unrolled his colour, and, advancing, gave it to an officer so plainly dressed he might have been a simple private of the line. Then Edward, King of England, spoke -TO THOSE BRAVE MEN, and in his country's name, thanked them for service rendered. Again the throbbing drums spoke out, and each Canadian, leaning on his rifle, gazed at the standard as it fluttered in the sunshine. Their glancing eyes wero full of quiet pride, they were not untried boys going, to try their strength, but men of valor, who had measured hearts and arms against a foe as brave as any England's sons had over faced; they looked at that proud flag as steadily as they had looked into the throat of death on African soil, yet, in their very calmness, one could read the title to their strength. No needed. The day may come when foes will stretch out their hands TO REACH THAT STANDARD, but I am n'ot judge of men if foreign hands will never grip that flag whilst women live lo give such men to Canada as those who won it. Once, more the warlike music flooded the air with sound that fired the blood, then over the terrace came an old man, whose white beard rivalled the snow' on which he trod. He reached the spot where Alexandra stood, and bowed before the Queen; then turning walked towards thc'King, and Edward met him with extended hand* and ' gave him a kindly greeting, whilst Roberts, Buller, and a dozen more vied with each other to do him honour. It was the man' who raised the i-cgiment, the loyal Strathcona, whose name the regiment bears, and if he leaves no other "monument his: name will live in English hearts when many another name has been forgotten. The ,King and that old man stood side by side, and the sunbeams: chased the shadows from lhe snow, the flag, rich in its wealth of colouring, flaunted bravely in the breeze, then all the echoes rang and rang again to the cheering of our sons who co.me to us across the seas." ' WHY PAY HIGH RENT. A labourer rented, near Foxiorc], Ireland, what was called by courtesy a "cottage." He demanded a reduction of his rent, but this was firmly re-' fused.

The following is an exact copy of a letter received by a young lady who wished to spend a holiday in a small country town, and advertised for a room:��������� ..

SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1901. THE PRICE OF LEAD. While all this talk of "Smelter Trouble" is going on it is not unlikely that the low price of lead in England has more to do with the mining difficulty than anything else. While the American smelters can buy lead in Mexico, produced by cheap labor, as cheaply as they do, they will always have lead for export, and must take the price for it that prevails in England, no matter whether they buy on New York or London quotations. This being the case, it must be apparent they cannot be over anxious to buy British Columbia ores, especially those carrying a high lead value, while the London market is low. For the last six years lead has ranged between .������9 and iI22,(^2.65 and $100.70), less all charges, for the long ton of 22'iO lbs. This has rendered value range very wide, but the average has perhaps been ,fo.OO. It is now down to $2 60 per 100 lbs, or 40 cents below the average. This of itself is sufficient to make even the American smelter trust scary apart altogether from any prejudice against British Columbia ores. It may not be out of place in this connection, to say the proposed bounty of $5.00 per ton by the. Dominion government, for refining in this province, when in force will not cure all this. Jt will only give the refiner a certain 25 cents per 100lbs. on his operations, with which lo supplement what he can get in London or wherever else he may be disposed to sell, and even this would not bring the present price up to the average of the past few years. However, with a refinery in our midst and plenty oi smelters close to the mines, reducing the cost of freight and treatment, our mines would be in comparatively as good a shape as the owners across the lines, with one marked exception, which amounts to consderable. As the American duties are high, bullion from outside cannot easily compete with the product in the States. The tiust then need not sell to American manufacturers below a fair figure, that is the supply would be making the market instead of the demand, as the phrase generally goes, and the excess could he slaughtered abroad .at whatever could be got for it. Even if the Canadian government were to put up the duties on bullion and manufactures, it would not even up things with the conditions across the lines, as the Canadian market is so limited, that the excess over demand forced to take a low price would still hold it down to a low average. In view of all the circumstances the best thing to do is to lessen us far as possible by advanced methods the cost of production, freight and treatment, and the boldest front possible will be advanced to meet all conditions of the market.

We'll send you a little to try if you like. SCOTT & BOWJXE, Chemists, Toronto. The late letting oiit of so many men at so many mines around Sandon is a great misfortune at this juncture. A few months ago we had a labor strike that virtually tied up the business for a twelve month, when money should have been made by all classes, as prices of the metals were good, and the mines were in excellent shape for work. As soon as this strain was finished and good times appeared in sight again, afire came that swept away all the capital possessed by nearly all in business, and left many in debt besides. With most commendable courage the people set to work again, put up suitable business J places and were getting ready to square themselves with the world when the smelter difficulty appears on the scene and blasts all hopes of immediate success. It is most regretable for the welfare of the country at large, to say nothing of the people of the city that this should be the case. Sandon has to-day as good mining surroundings as exist in the country���������a dozen properties that-if worked under favorable surroundings would be regular dividend payers���������and still its business for the past three years has been harrassed continually by these adverse conditions. There is no question but that the wrongs will yet be righted, and that the place has a successful business before it. There is, of course, the old proverb that "hope deferred maketh the heart sick," but we are satisfied that many of those who stood these adversities so long will yet stand them longer and eventually coine out'allright.

The probabilities arc that the government proposition to bonus refineries will include .nickle and copper as well as. silver and lead, which is only right and fair. Thy next step should be such a measure of piotection as will lead to the production in Canada of nickle, copper and lead manufactures for export as well as. home consumption. It 'is a noted fact that none of the countries ��������� in the woildat present advanced, commenced to spring into greatness until they employed their population in converting their raw materials into manufactures for export as well as home demands. It is alwavs wisdom in employing our people and others who come to reside, with' us in all the arts for which we have the raw materials, instead of allowing them to go abroad for employment and swell the population of the countries to which they emigrate.

Some of our exchanges are copying a foolish paragraph from the Anarchist print up street to the effect that the City of Sandon is likely to become disincorporated.

Some greenie was verdant enough to advise the Nelson Miner the slide threatened to shut . up several of the mines. As a matter of fact these slides come down every year. It sometimes happens that men are unfortunate enough to be caught in them ; but it seldom happens that other damage is done. Generally speaking all tlie mine buildings, workings, &c..are out of tlieir track, so that beyond the stoppage of work for a few days for the clearance of snow when it is in the way, no further injury is done to mining.

THE.MINING REVIEW���������Saturday, May ii, 1901. Notes on Zinc Smelters In Coi.junetion With the Refining of Silver-and Lead. (By it. C. Campbell-Johnson iu .Mining.Record) ��������� Boards of Trade, City Councils and . other public bodies in British Columbia are petitioning government to oiler a bonus, to bring about the establishment of a desilverizing plant lor the pig lead produced. It is tlie common belief tiiat by the establishment of a refinery the interests of the lead miner will be best protected against the rapacity of the American Lead Trhst. It is not considered that the lead mines by building their own smelters can save "treatment costs and-transportation rates to a large ��������� extent, as the- copper mines in the Boundary country are doing. Also through the want of metallurgical advice the general public is ignorant of the methods, costs, diiliculties, etc., in desilverizing lead. There are only two methods employed at present to desilverize lead. Both were invented in Britain, one by Hugh L. Pattinson, a mechanical lading-process, and nearly obsolete by reason of its excessive costs; the other by Alexander Parkes. Parkes' process, and its modifications employ zinc, for which silver has a greater affinity than lead. Roughly speaking, one pound of spelter is required to extract each ounce of silver from a ton of pig lead. This brings the question of a lead refinery down to the point, that a zinc smelter plant must, first be established near the lead smelters. This is a fact since spelter today is quoted in the vicinity in value round $4.00 per cental, or $80.00 per short ton in New York, to over $100.00 per ton delivered in the Kootenays. Is a zinc smelter practical in the Kootenays today with high cost of labor and material? A metallurgist will say, iNo! Let us look over the different methods of zinc smelting. Take the Belgian and Bilesian methods adopted at Swansea,- in l������urope,"and the ��������� States. ��������� ��������� . The mixtures to make the retorts or pots used has long been a jealously guarded secrec, and the. pots cost in- Swansea ������3 10 ($17 50; apiece. From the number used ina tolal furnace, say 160, or whatever tlie metallurgist may design, and from the comparatively 'few reheatings they will last through, hence expense renders these, methods impossible in Bri'ish Columbia. In Swansea lately they have gone back to the old English method, with modifications, , and use pots similar to those utilized in the smelting of steel. These cost ������2 (10.00) apiece there, and would have to be imported to the Kootenays. We hear a rumour of a new method being perfected today at Joplin, but have as yet no details of success.' This is an enameled iron tube, which is claimed to halve the cost of zinc metallurgy. Anyhow, these few references to zinc metallurgy will point to the costs being too great at present to allow of the erection of a zinc refinery in the west. Next, supposing we could erect a zinc smelter and overcome these difficulties, what about our zinc ore supply? Swansea for their zinc works try to procure carbonates and silicates of zinc free from silver. Failing this they take the sulphides (blendes) free of silver. Rates used to allow them to buy the Missouri ores concentrated to from 54 to (50 yer cent. zinc. Rates are now nearly prohibitive and these ores are locally smelted at Joplin and St. Louis. Tlie Swansea smelters are short of supplies, and have to take blendes carrying silver. This is why they have gone back to the old English method, leaving five per cent, of lead in their mixtures, to partly obyiate the loss of siiver in the violatili- zation of the zinc. Now, what class of zinc ores would B. C. supply and how are they being treated in Britain and the European continent? All zinc ore in B.C. are sulphides, highly, argentiferous, considered by metallurgists unadaptable for saving zinc. These ores are bought and Mr. A. S. Murray's process of salt caking is used. This is to melt the ores with salt cake, and so throw a zinc top and lead bottom, the lead, after repeating the process many times, taking all the silver. and the zinc is thrown away in the slag. The zinc contents are not paid for. This shows how the leading metallurgists treat our zinc ores where the alkali and labor are cheap. t $���������$���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������*$��������������������������������������������������������������������������������� ���������*���������$$���������$������������������#���������������������������������������������������������������<&���������������������������������������������������������������������������������$&<���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������*���������*��������������������������������������������������������������� In addition to our made-to-order department, which will always be kept up to the pink of perfection, we have put in a fine assortment of all Miner?

I saw next to nothing of him for weeks, and when we met he passed on the other side of the road, without looking at mc. Of course I was sorry for him, but it was the luck of war, or rather of love, and I had played my cards honourably ; while I was. far too busily and bappily occupied to have any fears for what he, might do to me. ���������Then one day he seemed completely changed; came to me with an outstretched hand and asked my pardon saying that I'd won fairly, und wishing me luck. But somehow I didn't like the looks of him, and didn't trust him ; and I had good ground for my distrust, as I was soon to prove. During his drinking bout I had to hire an assistant for any job that came my way; but when he offered to join ihe again I took him on just as if nothing had happened. My little girl was very nervous about me how that I was go much to her, and begged me to give up- steeple-climbing and work on solid ground ; but there is more money in the air, for me, at any rate ; and as I wanted to save for that little nest I had in view, I thought I would stick to my btceples a little longer.

Jack was specially cheerful when I joined, him���������too gay, I thought, as I saw the reckless light in his eyes, and thought he had been drinking. "You lucky dog," ihe said, as he slapped me on the shoulder. "You've been to see Ruth, I know;, and her kiss is warm on your lips. Ah, well, I shall have my turn of luck sonic day���������maybe sooner than you think!" "I hope So, too, my lad,"; I said, sympathetically, as we set to work; "and the sooner the better." '���������' A few'hours later we were suspended, one on each side of the steeple, a couple of fciundred feet above the pigmies that were crawling beneath us. We were both- busy as we could be, gilding the ball from which the vane sprang���������Jack on one side and me on the other. Each of us was standing on a tiny .platform, little larger than the seat of a chair, with a sheer, dizzy drop of nearly fieventy yards beneath us; and each, for additional safety, was attached to the steeple by a life-line running under his onus. -. Jack had not spoken a word for nearly an .'hour; but I thought nothing of that, as we were working against time, and the darkness was beginning already to creep over the sky. You know when you're work and seemed as' if it would suffocate me. "But I'm 'going down a little slower than that as soon as I've finished this.bit of work. But pullyour- self together, Jack, .and Igct your gold on, and then we'll feoon be down there on our two legs." "No, sir!" he shouted, " I'm going to have a race with you to the bottom, and who ever gets there first Ruth can have. Come, on; now for a junp together." ,!As he said this he craned his' head round the corner of the steeple to get a look at me, and a single glance at his wild eyes showed mc that the man was raving mad, and that I was alone in mid-air with a maniac, who hated me and would certainly kill me if he could. I was powerless. If I called for help 1 might be heard, but who could come tu my assistance poised as I was at such a giddy height above the world? Aud in a single moment I might be in Ih; thiols of a lifc-and-death Struggle with a man quite as strong as myself and tnade' ten times stronger by madness. He was hlowly and surely working round towards me, and. there was not a moment to waste. Something must bo done (quickly, and everything depended on keeping cool. In a moment I had eased the hitch of the line round my hand, and was" swinging round to meet him. Before he had time to protect himself I had seized him by the throat and had forced him down on his saddle-board. But it was only for a moment, for, strong as I was, my strength was as a child's compared with his. With a wrench he was free, and had flung his powerful arms around my chest and was squeezing the .very life out of mc. ' In vain I struggled, as we swung backward and forward against the face of the steeple. I tried to call out, but.my voice stuck in my throat, my eyes felt as if they were being forced out of my head, and my breath MANMEALTff STORY OF DEEP INTEREST TO .

"Chance?" she said, as she looked up at me roguishly out of her blue eyes. " Why, Jim, you donkey, you've got every chance, and if you . hadn't been blind you'd have seen it months ago," and then she laughed, a kind of hysterical laugh, and hid her blushes on my shoulder. Well, sir, if she'd knocked me down I couldn't liave been, more surprised��������� . it was :.all so sudden and unexpected; font I had the presence of mind to put my arm round 'her and to draw her face up to mine and kiss it; and then���������why sir, there wasn't a man in England half as happy as me. ��������� "But what about Jack?" I said, 9 .when I'd come to a bit. "About Jack !" she said, archly; " well, when you say ing but fcilence above and around you, the slightest noise sends a shock through a man, however strong his nerves, may be. You can imagine then, how startled- I was1 when all at once I heard a loud shriek of laughter, almost as it seemed at my very ear. There was' something uncanny about it, too,that set my heart thumping and my flesh creeping as they had never done before, or since. When the laugh ceased and sil* cnoe came again as an awful relief I said : " What's the joke, Jack ? Don't keep it to yourself." " Joke 1" he said, "I Should think; it would be a joke. I was fancying you shooting down like a stone to the pavement down there, and what Ruth would think when she saw the pieces'." you're tired cf me, I'll begin to think " What a rummy idea I" I answered, about him���������if I live long enough." \rith affected coolness, though my When Jack heard of {it he 'went mad ! heart .was beating faster than ever. time, amid the horrible 6ilence, broken only ,by the creaking of the ropes and the grating of the saddle against the steeple, his eyes were glaring into mine and his. hot breath was on my face. I felt my senses rapidly leaving me, when my hand, by accident struck my tool-box and instinctively as it were clutched a wrench. With a last effort I raised my band, [struck him with all my remaining strength full on the temple���������and then I remembered no more. When I came to myself I was lying iin bed, and Ruth's' eyes were looking down on me with' just such a look in them as an angel's might have; but she said no word and I sank into unconsciousness again. It was weeks before I was about again or heard what happened after all became dark about me on the top of- the liteeplc. It seems the struggle .had been seen by the people, in the street below; an excited crowd had gathered, but they could do nothing but look and wonder and wait. They had seen mc strike Jack and then fall back senseless in the saddle as his arms released ime ; and then, to their horror, they had seen him slip off his platform and drop like a stone, rebounding off the steeple, and fall a shattered heap on the stone pavement almost at their feet. He must have slipped 'his life-line in the struggle���������but luckily tmine saved me, and with great difficulty I was safely lowered down and carried home.'. Well I there's iittlc more to tell. They buried poor Jack; and three months later tho wedding-bells were ringing for me and the sweetest bride that ever brought a man from the gates of death back to a life that has been all sunshine. SNAKES AND BEASTS. During the year 1899 no less than 24,621 human beings were killed by the bites of venomous snakes in India. The number was larger than in several preceding years because, it is thought, of the floods, which drove the snakes to the high lands where the homesteads arc situated. Wild beasts during the same year destroyed 2,966 human lives, tigers being responsible for 899 of the victims, .wolves for 338, leopards for 327, while the remaining 1,402. were killed by bears, elephants, hyenas, jackals, crocodiles and other animals. The destruction of cattle amounted to 89,238 killed by wild beasts, and 9,419 by snakes.. These statistics are from the government report of India. iCdattus the 8u(T������rlnK������j of a Lada YVbo Has Experienced (be Agonies That Afflict Su Sinny of Her Sex ��������� Pn/isrrt Throjig'i four Operations YWiCuunt Benefit. ���������Throughout Canada there' are thousands and thousands' of women who undergo daily pains���������sometimes bordering on agony���������such' as ouly women can endure in uncomplaining silence. To such the story of Mrs. Frank Evans', of 33 Frontenac street, Montreal, will bring hope and joy, as it point's the .way to renewed health and certain release from pain. Mrs'. Evans says: "I feel "that I ought to ������ay a ' good word for Dr. Williams' Pink Tills, in the hope that my experience may be of benefit to some other suffering woman. I am now twenty-three years of age, and since my eleventh year I have suffered far more than my share of agony from the ailments that 'afflict my. sex. At the age of sixteen the trouble had |Q^"own bo bad that I had to' undergo an operation in tho Montreal general hospital. This did not cure ni6 and a little later I underwent another operation. From this! I received some benefit, but was not wholly cured, and I continued to suffer from pains in the abdomen and bilious headache. A few years later, having with my husband removed to Halifax, I was again suffering terribly and was taken to the general hospital where . arother operation was performed. This gave me relief for two or three mouths, and again the old trouble came on, and I would suffer for days at a time and nothing seemed to relieve the pain. In February, 1899, I .was again ob-, liged to go to the hospital and underwent a fourth operation. Even this did not help me and as the chloroform administered during the operation affected my heart, I .would not permit a further operation, and was taken home still a great sufferer. In 1899 T was advised to try' Dr/: Williams' Pink Pills, and decided to do so. I have used the pills for sev- ; oral mionths and have found more relief from them than from the four, operations which I passed through, and I warmly recommend them to all women suffering from the ailments which afflict s.o many of my, sex." ; .Writing under a later date Mrs. Evans says: "I am glad to be able to .tell"you that not only, has the great improvement!- which Dr. Williams' Pink Pills effected in my condition continued, but I am now, perfectly well. I had given' up all hopo when I began the use of the pills, but they have restored me to such health as I have not before known fox years. I feel so ^grateful for what your medicine has done for me that I gladly give you permission to publish my letters in the hope that other women, will'follow my example and find health and strength and new happiness through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." No discovery in medicine in modern times has proved such a blessing to women as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Thoy act directly on the blood and nerves, invigorate the body, regulate the functions and restore health and strength to the exhausted patient when every effort of the physician proves unavailing. Other so-called tonics are mere imitations of these pills and should bs refused. The genuine bear the full name, "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People" on the Wrapper around each box.

' Forest, Ont., April, 22, (Special).��������� Probably the best known man in the Townships of AVarwick and I3osan7 quel, is Mr. Robert Hall, of Arkona. Mr. Hall, says:��������� "Five years ago last April I was kicked by a horse in the left kidney. The doctor that treated me said the kidney had turned out of its place, and I passed blood for' several days. "I did not get quite well from that until I got another kick, which caused me to pass blood again from my kidneys. "I continued to doctor until last fall, when they told me I could not get well, and that I would die, so I quit taking their medicine. "I lost the power of my legs, and had to be lifted in and out bit bed. ,T was so low that 1 was not expected to live from one day to the other. "I started to take Dodd's Kidney Pill3, and from the first, I commenced to improve, and by the time I had'taken five, boxes, I was quite well. Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly saved my life." No more startling case has ever taken place in the neighborhood of Forest, and many questions have been asked of Mr. Hall, in explanation of tho very startling statements made above. He has but one answer���������"Dodd's Kidney Pills saved ray life, ami that after all the doctors had told me I could not get better, and that I ��������� must die." Mr. Hall is certainly a living monument to the wonderful curative properties of Dodd's Kidney Pills. Bfodd's Kidney Pills is the only remedy knlown to science that has ever cured Bright's Disease, Diabetes, or Dropsy. They never fail. -���������I- HOW TO PROPOSE. ' ISmythe was about to propose to the girl of his; choice, and was trying to decide how he should do it. First he thought of the knightly proposal, in the style of the Middle Ages : . By my halidome, fair maid, say thou wilt be mine, and the holy friar shall unite us ere another sun gilds the turrets of yonder castle! ��������� Then he considered the theatrical style: ���������..'���������' > I have long loved you in secret, je- u-wil, and though I am not rich,' I can offer you the true and unselfish devotion of my whole ha-a-r-r-t 1 He thought perhaps, the easy conversational style might do: Well, Alicia���������I may call you "Alicia," mayn't I?���������everyone thinks we are going to be married. Suppose we do get married, just to stop 'em thinking ? ' ��������� " ��������� ; But when the fateful moment arrived he did it something like this; I Er���������Alicia���������cr���������excuse the familiarity, but���������er���������er���������will you���������er Oh, by Jove And then eke came to the rescue, and said: That'll "do, Tommy, my hoy. It's all serene, and I know the old people will be delighted. IN THE DREAD EVENT. :" Thcprinciple that Discretion is' the better part of valour, is sometimes understood at oan <arly age.

England is looked upon by most European monarchs as the safest country;in which to keep their jewels. One of the most valuable collections in the world is that of tho Russian Imperial Family. A large portion of this collection is guarded in a fortified castle, watched over by a special detail of 180 retired officers and a body of soldiers. .For this service they are well paid. No officer who in his days of active service was addicted to gambling or to extravagance can ever hope ta be selected as one of the custodians of the Imperial jewels. But- very large portion of the Czar's jewels is,always left in London banks; so that, in case a revolution should break out in St. Petersburg, he would have an "anchor to windward" in England.- The Prince of Bulgaria is possessed of precious stones to the value of ������1,- 000,000, and many of these are always stored in the vaults of London banks. King Milan of Servia kept many of his jewels in London and Paris banks; and many of the jewels belonging fo the German Imperial Family are in the same safe keeping.

There is a great deal of mining activity in the Lardeau country this spring on account ol the assurance of a railway. Tlie mines of the Boundary country shipped 97,593 tons of ore in 1900, and so far this year the tonnage has been 109,954. The Monitor mine at Three Forks has shipped 345 tons of ore since the 1st of January, and has at present fourteen men at work. Allan and Corey, who developed the Silverite group close to Sandon some time ago, are now opening up the London group on Ten Mile. " The Condor, Torpedo and Williard prospects near Silverton, are commencing to work. A good showing of ore has lately been discovered on the latter. Col. Bray ton, of Kaslo, has leased the Hazel May group on Crawford creek to eastern capitalists at $100,000. It is a gold-copper property carrying a value in silver. There is not a word of truth in the report that the ore in the Payne has given out. There is more in sight than will be taken out m the next three years under ordinary operations, and by that time many new discoveries will doubtless be made. ������������������������������������'< During April the Gran by smelter at Grand Forks treated 11,322 tons, an average of 377 tons daily, with one furnace of a nominal capacity of 222 tons daily. The custom ore receipts amounted to 1250 tons, the balance of the..ore being treated Y from the company's Mother Lode mine. Fifteen shareholders of the Knob Hill Gold Mining Company attended the special meeting held in Rossland, when a resolution was adopted approving of and consenting to the proposed amalgamation with the other minine properties of the Miner-Graves syndicate. H. N. Galer, of Grand Forks, acted as secretary, the chairman being J. A.MacDon- ald, of Rossland. G. W.Worster, treasurer of the Granby smelter, is the liquidator. No less than 1,179,000 out of a total of 1,500,000 shares were represented at the meeting. Jobbers and Retailers in ware and Mining Supplies :M:I]MEIRS, SUPPLIES.

An important amendment to the Mineral Act deals with the recording of claims in the names of free miners by agents. Heretofore prospectors carried about the numbers of free miners' certificates held by friends and freely used them for the purpose of recording locations in excess of the limitations of the act. The amendment proposed sets out that before making any such records as an agent a power of attorney must be filed in the office of the mining recorder for the division in which the claim is situated, and no such agent shall locate or record more than one claim each for two principals on each separate vein or lode. Another amendment provides that work done on trails, to the satisfaction of the gold commissioner or the mining recorder, may be counted on certificates of work. I HU8I, ARROW LAKES, B.C.
