'L^CioA^i VOL. 4.���������NO. ���������l\<\������\ ' SANDON, B'. C, SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1901. $2.00 PER YEAR. The Wonderful A Wonder. Three Ledges Uncovered Containing Carbonates, Ore and Galena. There is no doubt but that this property was rightly named. Work under Mr. Warner is showing it as a stubborn fact. The opinion of many was that E. J. Field in working it some three years ago knew more about the merits of the property than he disclosed to the public���������in shout, it was the impression of many he knew it was a big property, but kept the facts from the owners with the hope of buying it himself. However, the facts are that in Mr. Warner's operations of a couple of weeks he lias uncovered throe ledges, in each of which there are large bodies of ore, the uneoverings varying from 20 to 50 length drifting on No. one lead in No: 5 tunnel, lie has so far gone about 60 feet with this drift and in about GO feet'further lie hopes to intersect ledge No. three, the recent find and at that depth .he is confident of encountering a veiT large body of high grade ore.' ������������������������������������������������������"-"' --���������'���������' ��������� He leaves for Spokane .today ��������� and on his return will put on a largo force of men and prosecute work with energy. Mr. Warner will also commence work on the Miller Creek adjoining the Wonderful in a short time and work the'two promising properties together. THE LOCAL GRAFT: feet in In one of the ledges' the ore uncovered the timberings that Field put in and covered up again, until it might suit his purpose. The ledges are from three to eight fe������t in width, and all carry ore throughout, seams of clean ore. ami the remainder of the ledge matter being concentrating ore, both of very high value, one body being a rich carbonate. Since the foregoing was put in type, our reporter visited -the property and saw for himself the half had not been told. There are now found on the pro- ' perty llireo ueparate aiidi distinct ledges ���������No. 1, 2, and 3. 0:ne and two have been uncovered for some time, but from the fact ore in continuous chutes had " not been found and the walls were not distinctly delined, they had not been identified as ledges by previous miners. This is evidenced by the fact they were both cut in several places by cross operations.- Considerable bodies of ore have been found in No. 1, but as it. is very wet at present it will remain for future operations to show (the value of its contents. In all there are five tunnels on the property, Nos:'2 and ;4 cut ledges, 1 and 2 which are parallel.' An upraise of 90 feet has been recently made- from 4 to 2 tunnel, and at the top of this working the first important discovery was made, ore cached by'some former workman, evidently in Mr; Field's time. This cached ledge has been opened for 45 fgjet disclosing 5 feet of mixed ore, 18 inches of clean, shipping galena; ������and carbonates. TJie carbonates, alone assay. 470 ozs. silver and i) per,.cent, lead, giving smelting value of.$2S2 per ton. This hid- den!ore is at a depth of 130 feet from the apex of the ledge. , This lead is evidently not a slide as it was formerly considered..as it is intact and in place; but had been sluiced over and the mineral found considered so much float. Some parties during operations had run a sort of circular or prospecting tunnel, and at its one extremity Mr. Warner on examination found a colored talc. This led him to prosecute further prospecting work, and in a short time lie was rewarded by finding No. 3 ledge, the premier ledge on the property. This new find has been traced for 1500 feet to therightof way of the K. and S. uncovering shipping ore the entire length. The ledge is four feet in width as shown in six open cuts along its course, each one disclosing clean ore in place three "feet and upwards in width. The assays of this show 70 ounces silver and 05 per cent. lead. The immediate contemplated work is a tunnel on the ledge about 100 feet from the first cut wirh'continuous drift on the ore body. This working it is thought will show the Wonderful what the name implies���������a wonder indeed.

Arrangements have been completed for.the brass band and --baseball team to take part in Victoria day celebration at Kaslo. The hose team club have decided.to stay at home. _ The jury found a fraudulent, .application of Cordinglv for. insurance, in the case of the Nelson Furniture Co., and as a consequence he was non-suited in his action against the company at the Nelson assizes this week.

Mr. Dewar, who has been employed at the Payne mine a long time, has decided to go ranching on the Alberta plains. It is quite likely that Squire Lovatt will be elected mayor by acclamation, but who is to be alderman? Echo answers "Who?" 'The Methodists intend giving a concert about the last of the month, shortly before the Rev. and Mrs. San ford take their departure for-Rossland. TheK. AS. train on Victoria Day, May-24th, will leave Sandon' about 7:30 or 8 o'clock in. the morning, returning leave Kaslo' between 6 and 8 o'clock in ���������the evening. ��������� The Siivertonian is even now talking of the great activity in mining in that camp, and at the same time it reduces the size of the paper. The two things do not appear to harmonize well together. If the mines were busy the paper ought to have patronage to sustain its proportions. A few of the friends of the Rev. and Mrs. .Sanfoul are interesting themselves to get up an entertainment on the evening of the 28th, the last evening of the rev. gentleman and his estimable lady will be in the place before taking up their residence in Rossland. The entertainment will consist of vocal and insru- mental music* readings, &c. Fuller particulars will appear in our next issue. ���������. ��������� ' The Sandon baseball team played their first game of the season with the New Denver club on the latter's grounds on . Saturday, and -were defeated by a' score of .31 to 17. Up to the fifth, innings both teanns were evenly matched, but in the seventh the visitors threw up the sponge, and did not give the home players a chance to go to bat. Towards the" last the Denver boys played the ball all over the field, which brought up the score for them. Murphy and Richards gave some good exhibitions of ball pitching for Sandon. It is reported that Chas. Sweeny is endeavoring to form a combination with a capital of $25,000,000 to control the lead mines of the Coeur d' Alenes, whose output is 60 per cent, of the lead of tho United States. This move, it is said, is to fight the Smelter Trust. There is no doubt in the world but that if all the lead producing properties were amalgamated, and the cheap lead of Mexico either shut out by duties or corralled also, it would bring the Smelter Trust to its senses. It would never pay the smelter men to leave their smelters idle, and they would, therefore, have to come to some-thine like proper terms with the producers, "if they failed to do so, the producers could, of course, put up smelters of their own. In fact it is a question if it would not even now pay the mine owners in British Columbia as well as the United States to own their own smelters. ffining Students in Sandon. Some nineteen students of McGill University, of Montreal, accompanied by Dr. Porter, professor of mineralogy, and Dr. Adams,' professor of geology, visited the city on Wednesday evening in the special car, and remained over Thursday. Many of the students spent most of Thursda3r at" the Star mine, it being the only property that is working extensively. The two professors visited Che Payne, and were shown through all the workings by manager Zwicky. Dr. Porter also spent some time atthelvan- hoe concentrator. .- To the professors the sights were no novelty, for apart from almost perfect knowledge in theory, they had both seen silver-lead workings before. To the students the sights at tho mine were a treat, and those of the town including the slot machines, a matter of great curiosity. On each night they repaired to their car at all hours, being especially interested in the night shifts of various callings. The car went from here to Nelson, and thence to Rossland, taking in the coal mines at Fernie in return. Railway from Vernon to Midway. Greenwood, B. C, May 14th.���������James Kerr and Robert Wood returned from Victoria on Monday. They were successful in their mission to obtain a charter for the Midway & Vernon railway, carrying a subsidy of $4,000 per m\hs for 140 miles.. Mr. Kerr stated that surveys and locations would be immediately pro-' ceeded with, and that by.-fall actual building will be commenced, The road starts from Vernon, following south down the Okanogan valley to Mission creek, then making a loop to its head, where the headwaters of the west fork of the Kettle river met; thence following the meanderings of its junction with the Kettle river and on the east bank down the river to Midway. The proposed road will open up a virgin agricultural and mining district. It will also be the means of shortening the run between here and- the coast about 24 hours. . , Sandon Ore Shipments.

Even the housekeeper ierself is at times hardly able toper- form the imposed tasks ; but the laws of the Medes and Persians were not more fixed than her plans in the household economy. To illustrate: Our national birthday fell upon Monday, and meeting a friend at the annual picnic, after the. usual salutations', we inquired : "Is your wife ..here?" , , ,. f , , . "Oh, no indeed," was his reply, "Don't you know, this is Monday, and she staid home: to .wash. I toll her if I die on Monday, she will probably lay me on the shelf until she gets the washing done." > We all laughed, but there was "more truth than poetry," in what he said. We recalled one Monday when she had succumbed after a large washing, j The doctor was called in haste. j .' HLs first words were: "It's Monday ; you washed, and you did not feel well when you began?" , I She admitted it. : Then he said, rather crossly, "I believe you Avould wash if it took an arm I One of these days you will pot." But he measured out the little pills and departed. In conversation with her after her recovery she said: "I can't help it. I accomplish nothing the whole .week if I don't wash Monday." ; Now is it jworth while for a delicate :woman to almost imperil her life, for such a whim I I admire a systematic housekeeper,, but I have a horror of one who is so "wedded to her idols" as to. trample on her own health and that of her family for the sake of doing work by rule. System is well, but there must be times when the rules become lax of necessity. This same woman accounts that other one no housekeeper, who does not do as she doe������, while'I know many excellent ones who could not if they would do so. ������������������ Again, is it worth while to keep the kitchen range polished like silver when hands, arms and shoulders pay the penalty afterward ? Might one not be classed as a good housekeeper a'f it was neatly wiped with flannel cloth or paper after each meal? One [housekeeper never has beefsteak,fried chicken ov griddle cakes, though the (family are fond of them, just because jthe immaculate stove would suffer. j Oue of the neatest housekeepers said to me: "How I hate to be called an exquisite housekeeper. You know ull that implies ? That wonderfully polished kitchen nlova, and the endless Scrubbing of every board, the doing everything certnin days, wash Mon- idays, etc. No. I don't do it. Life is too short for that sort of thing. My plan is to be cleanly, orderly, try to cook well, and let the polishing go, ppending the time thus saved in some . port of ntudy or profitable reading." 1 I heartily agreed with her, knowing Jaer house to be as daintily neat as possible, and she is considered an ex- Pie No, 2,���������Two cups chopped rhubarb, one and .a quarter cups sugar.

The process of writing these letters is a laborious one,: inasmuch as it is difficult to convey by proxy the requisite amount ofv. sympathy felt by "Bill" for his "Elizar,' and at the earns time, as an agent, to maintain sufficient facial self-control to inspire the principal with confidence enough to unbosom his heart to the object of his affections, and tell the truth, and nothing' hut the truth.

In former times an old uoldier would take up .a raw recruit, and "learn" him how to soldier. In return, he, annexed the recruit's pay, allowing him two half-pints of beer a day and a "rimer,'���������a pennyworth of bread and cheese���������for lunch and supper. Besides this, he watched over the youngster's welfare, safeguarding his kit and protecting liim in other ways. This old-time B3'stem has been done away.with to a great extent, not, it must be admitted to the. advantage of the recruit whose inexperience is now exposed to the unscrupulousnoss of any sharper who crosses his path.

How London Is Guarded From Hostile Fleets-Nine Jack Tara Might Cripple the British Navy���������Skilled Labourers Guard the Secrets of Woolwich Ar- senaL There are half a dozen men who; . hold in their hands' the fate of London, for they alone are possessed of the secret that guards the Einpire'3 capital. Down by the Lower Hope, where the Thames bends away from the 'sea, there are mines under water which prevent any hostile fleet from ascending the river'.' There is a little cottage among the - marshes there, just like a score of other cottages around, and it holds a secret electric switch, connected by wire' with those mines. If an enemy's ships of war tried to pass" up the Hope, 'one movement of the hand in that cottage could blow theni all to atoms. The great secret is held by six men���������not big generals, but' men of the people���������and there is no sum any big Power would not give them if they chose to sell the secret. Once known, a dependent of the enemy could either throw a bomb into the 'cottage, and thus cut off the connection by blowing everything to pieces, or explode the mines by stealth., Then London would be at the ' mercy of the enemy's light- draught vessels, for the forts on the bank are obsolete. There is one high authority who knows where the switch.is, one engineer, and four subordinates, any of whom could get, say ������100,000 to-morrow for that secret. The number of subordinate Jack Tars who could ',:������������������'CRIPPLE- THE BRITISH NAVY, ia about nine. Any of these could secure and dispose of one of the secret signal code-books. Others might get it, with luck; but they would be detected, while these nine might manage' it with safety to themselves. Any; big naval Power would pay Specie up to a large amount for one of these books, provided the theft were_ not known. In time of war, our .ships" would be practically helpless if the enemy knew, our code; for every order from' the flagship would be read and forestalled. There have been one or two scares about the thefts of code-books by outsiders; but they have proved false, and no one of the nine ' has. ever'been suspected. .The plans of the defences of important.' forts���������especially the most modern ones���������ure known to a round dozen of the rank arid file of the Army���������non-co!mrois?h.

It woukl lie utterly impossible for a soldier whro had ever had the smallest connectijon with any other country to be entrusted with these great secrets; and there has never yet been a whisper of any disloyalty. Yet, if one of the holders, of the secrets liked to sell his knowledge abroad, he would be given a princely sum, home, and protection for life. The pay of these holders of the nation's honor is about ������1 a week, and even- their .families do not know of their knowledge. They are all .BOUND TO UK'TEETOTALLERS. There axe also the Army spy-books, which are mostly official property, and very carefully guarded; but there are a couple of "non-coms" who could get at theise if they chose. The price that would be paid for them abroad is. enormous, for they contain all the secret information obtainable about the defences, of other Powers. .'. ' . The most .vitally important of all, such secrets, however, are the plans of the great arsenals. All of these have weak points. Though the explosion of a dynamite bomb would not wreck Woolwich, or any other big arsenal, there is a way in which it could be done, for there is one spot in every arsenal which it is impossible to guard. Armed with that knowledge; a foreign agent, who did not mind losing his life in- the hour of success���������there are plenty such always in Britain���������could deprive Britain of her greatest explosive depots ^t the time of her direst need. That secret is known to four men, each earning the wage of an average skilled labourer. HOTEL IN A SEWER. Serve? Over GO lircukiast* ji Day���������One Thrives in a tiravi'^nrd. The most 'remarkable hotel in! ihe world is that situated in ihe\Parisian sewers, almost immediately beneath the Madeline Church, and which' is patronized exclusively by the municipal scavengers. Entrance to it can be- had dry-shod at certain hours. At all other times a boat lias to be- employed. The interior is singularly neat and' clean, despite the hoisomeness of the surroundings, and between G!) and 70 breakfasts and dinners are served therein daily. There are also provided three .beds for the use of the night watchmen who patrol the great main drain which runs tunnel-wise beneath the gay city. The- hotel constitutes Paris foundations. The exact antithesis to this subterranean place of entertainment is the Hotel Savai, located in the Chang- la, a pass in Ladak, or Western Thibet. This is the highest hotel in the world. The building is over 10,000 feet above the level of tho sea. ��������� The extreme height of the pass is 18,308 feet. There is at least one- Irotcl in the world which is built in a graveyard, and this hotel, which is one of the largest in Central America, and by- far the largest in Belize, Honduras, is surrounded by tombstones. As t.his old and abandoned cemetery was, located in the center of, the town, and afforded an excellent: site for a hotel, the necessary permission was obtained from the authorities, and in less than a year a large and hand-' some building .was erected. In digging the foundations hundreds of skulls were discovered, all of which were carefully collected and interred in the new cemetery. The hotel possesses a room in which service is conducted by a local'.-���������; preacher every Sunc^.y. '.';.,'.

' ��������� -The cases are not many where women have successfully impersonated men, but there are a few. One of the most extraordinary is that of an English woman named ��������� Catherine Coome, aged eixty-six. According to her own utory she was married when she was fifteen, but for the last forty years tihe has represented herself as a man. Her occupations seem to have been various. Bat after two years at sea as captain's cook on a P. and O. liner-she went so fur as to marry a young woman whom edie met at Hampton Court, and lived with her at Tluddersfield for fourteen years. Her sex .was only discovered when she was compelled to go to the workhouse.

The ill-repute of Friday as an unlucky day is shown by some current statistics to be undeserved. A' careful investigation, largely through official channels, has been made of the. matter ia Germany, and an a result it is found that: of 9,043 weekly accidents and disasters, such as art* commonly attributed to bad luck, 1,- 674 occurred on Monday, 1,551 on Tuesday, 1,031 on Wednesday, 1,547 on Thursday, 1,038 oh -Friday, ],638 on, Saturday, and 209 on Sunday. The most noteworthy feature of these figures, apart from their vindication of Friday, is'the-uniformity,'-of distribution of mishaps among the six .secular days of the week, \ho. difference between the most rfnd the least "unlucky" days being less than one- tenth. The day of most disasters is Monday. The Vesta cotton mill, of Charleston, S.

How do you do? said the former ; I rejoice to see that you have been more successful than 1. . .Would you, for a consideration, part with a few of your fish, that I may not return : to my family empty-handed ? The professional, angler said he would, and the gentleman went on his way with all the trout caught by his more successful acquaintance. Ho met, a little later on, another gentleman, .who eyed his fish, and stopped to speak to him. Did you catch those fish yourself? he said. < The gentleman said Yes, and assorted, moreover, that he was ashamed to take home so/ few, saying that his usual catch was much larger. Indeed, said the other, then come with me, for I am an officer, and have for a long time been lying in wait for men who catch! trout out of season.

The Mining Review. SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1901. THE OCTOPUS. The American. Smelter Trust is en- ��������� djeavoring to convince the silver-lead producers of the Slocan that it ia high charges of the C. P. R. for the transport of ores to the boundary that prevents them from paying what must be paid for silver-lead ores to make the mines profitable. Some of our mine owners actually believe their yarn, and are influenced accordingly., There is, however, one very strong proof this is not the case. It is a fact the American mine owners, where C. P. R. rates do not prevail, are now complaining of the treatment they are receiving from the Octopus, and are likely to shut un their properties as ours are being 'shut up if the situation is not changed at once. In fact the owners have already called a meeting to consider the situation, and see what they can do to help themselves as the octopus has submitted a cast iron agreement for all to sign : The price of gold is fixed at if 19 per -ounce, whereas the trust will receive $20.07 per ounce for it. The rates are based partly an the railway freight charges, and as the railways are going into the hands of the same financial kings, the smelter trust will be in a position to make rebates on freight to itself, while charging the full tariff to the miner. An ore containing $30 worth of mineral and paying $10 per ton freight, will pay $17 per ton treatment charges, thus leaving the miner $3 out of which to pay the cost of operating his mine and profit for himself. Such a mine must close down at once. A $50 ore paying $11 per ton freight, will pay $18.50 treatment charges, leaving $20.50 per ton for the miner. The treatment charges are an increase on the prevailing rates. Colorado Springs, (Col.) April 28th.��������� Messrs. Tutt and Penrose, managing directors of the Philadelphia and Standard Eeduction !Works at Colorado City, have gone to New York for the avowed purpose of transferring their - two reduction works to the American Smelting and Eefinery Company. The plants have a joint capacity of 1500 tons a day, and have been operating steadily bn Cripple Creek ores, which, owing to low .rates, were diverted from the smelters. ' Three months ago the trust reduced prices in low grade Cripple Creek ores, with the result that the reduction plants have been compelled to sue for terms. The, two mills at Colorado City have been able to keep open owing to the heavy contracts at former higher rates, but now that these have expired they- have not succeeded in getting further at prices that would leave a profit. The Dunsmuir government railway bill just passed the House will meet with general approval in the country. It will not satisfy those who appear to lay great stress on Hill's competition, but that cannot be helped. In a word the bill guarantees substantial assistance to any ^company that wants to build roads where they are deeded, it secures the government in interest on the loan and holds the control of rates in the hands of the government. As we see things, the bill gives equal privileges to all railway companies, and special privileges to none.

The conditions should also meet the wish of those who clamor for government ownership, for ownership is never desired for any other purpose' than the control of rates, which the government holds by the act. If the Hill people see money in a railway at paying rates only, they have a free hand to go .on and build the Coast-Kootenay railway: if they want more than this, their demands are in excess of their representations and cannot be conceded. If on the other hand the C. P. R. builds this line, the rates are controlled by the government,which secures all that can be got by competition. There is one feature of the case After all that has been said and written about'mining in this country, capitalists in Eastern Canada and the old country have but'a very imperfect idea of proper methods of investment. The very moment that any large property shows up well' the biting seems to be after that property, not stopping to think that even a diamond may be bought too dear. Even the largest of our mines must yet become mined out��������� extinct���������and it"is a question for capitalists to consider whether or not they will be able to get their big price out of it in clear profit and interest during the interval, before the end comes. Mining in any case is more or less of a gamble, and a much safer plan for the capitalists to take is to put their egs in different baskets. There are plenty of mines in this country in which mineral is found in the ledges that can be bought at figures ranging from $10,000 upwards. Common sense would show it is much safer for a capitalist to buy 100 of these at $10,000 each than it is to put a million into one alone. In the one sense, in buying a property at that stage, the purchaser secures all there is in it; and in the next place he has .100 chances to make his money on the one he has in buying the large property.

Womanly ills come to almost all. But for these ills there is help and healing in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It regulates the periods, stops unhealthy drains, cures inflammation, ulceration and female weakness. It makes weak women strong, sick women well. "Miss Ella Sapp, of Jamestown, Guilford Co., N. C., writes: " I had suffered three years or more lit monthly periods. It seemed as though I would die with pain in my back and stomach. I could not stand without fainting; had given up all hope of ever being cured, when one of my friends insisted upon my trying Dr. Pierce's ' Favorite Prescription. .With but little faith I tried it, and before I had taken half a bottle I felt better���������had better appetite and slept better. Now I am happy to say I am entirely cured, and all done in two months' time, when all other medicines had failed to do any good at all." Biliousness is cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Young Mclnnis said in the House the other day. that if his father had formerly known as much of the Hon. J. H.

The mines in McGuigan basin have been working for some time and a number of the promising prospects will be opened up shortly. These properties will not be effected by the refinery question at the present time, as they are only doing development work. Some 65G tons of ore were shipped in the last f jiir months. The Rambler-Cariboo has a smelter contract, which enables the mine to ship steadily. Some 75 to 100 men are employed, underground. Rich finds of ore have been encountered in the lower tunnel and a 100-foot winze will be started from this point. The lied Foxare working a- small staff of men and at present on the Aritoine vein which crosses the property. The Soho,a group of fourteen claims, is managed by J., C. Ryan.. Last week a most important strike on this mine was inads, a showing of 10 inches of galena was encountsd in the lower level at a depth of 300 feet, and work is still continued in these workings. The longest tunnel has now reached 1350 feet in length and is a complete passage through the top of the mountain. Work is progressing on the Antoine, where a long crosscut tunnel is being driven to tap the vein at depth.

A new process which has passed the experimental stage,' and-1-is now being , used successfully at .-Dolgelly, North Wales, being apparently what is needed to treat Slocan ores, is the Elmore process of concentration of minerals by oil. Its great feature,"to -this section, is that by this process minerals that flour too finely to be saved by .any other known process, such as sulphides, grey copper, tellurides and kindred ores, can be con- centraled and their values saved by this new invention. The cause which has led to so many of our Slocan concentrating plants bavins' to shut down��������� their inability to save the values in the ore owing to the'mineral flouring and floating off with the water���������can now be remedied. As this new discovery is of such importance, to this, section a full description of what, is being accomplished by it at the Glasdir Copper Mines in North Wales will be of interest: ' _ ��������� The rock from the mine, after passing through the usual stone-breakers, is crushed in a pair of Cornish Rolls, and run thence to two Huntington Mills, , wherein it is reduced; to pass through a 30-hole screen, and , issues ��������� therefrom , with just sufficient water'to make it into a freely flowing pulp/ From the Huntington Mills the "pulp passes directly 1 into the open'end oi a horizontal rotating drum, inside of which is fixed a helix with cross blades or buckets,which lift up the pulp to certain height and drop it again,' at the same time profiling it forward ;lo the opposite end of the drum. Withthe pulp is also admitted a small quantity-of a thick, sticky oil (the residue left in the stills iu the refining of paraiine oil). This oil is, of 'course, subject to the same agitation as the pulp, and is consequently tumbled about with it, and exercises, the remarkable property of sticking to and buoying up the particles of mineral that are floating about or suspended in the pulp; but it does'not stick to,or have any effect "diatever upon the particles of rock which are present in much greater number. The oil and pulp automatically discharge from the opposite end of the drum into a pointed box or spitzkasten, in which the tailings or rock at once settle down and flow off with the water at the bottom, whilst the- oil, by reason of its buoyancy, floats to the top and carries up with-it practically all the values which-the ore contained. From the pointed box the oil with its load of mineral flows.off continuously to a specially constructed centrifugal machine, where the oil-is extracted from the mineral, (which is left,in the machine)., the oil being at once ready for re-use. The concentrates'are left in the machine, dry and almost free from oil. The loss of oil has been found to be it Glasdir l1^ gallons per ton of ore treated, and may be taken as varying -recording to ore and "other conditions letween one and three gallons per ton. The oil ia a very cheap class. v !I^_^^^���������.^|J "^^ 1 ^?nr^^r^B������tfc--7^^^^.jU^ **��������� Ba^^ il9 ^ *^"_ B'l frafllffiS^i WmM Sfl\ 'ft 1 ^W^^ulr^^^^&^ff w \u SffiESSSKiSnW��������� /���������^(KiPAnt^^S- MmmSC'i mf }fj=~ 1 \ II ,^> hMOO JJC k^NKStw" ^ffij/.y ///������������������/ T \ In addition to our made-to-order department, which will always be kerjt up to'the pink of perfection, we have put in a'fine assortment of all Fonifelite 4 s I L_J, P^., Our Boots and Shoes,"Underclothing-, and, in fact, all supplies���������just.what's wanted in the camp.

Wallace writes thus in the London Dally Mail of Lord Kitchener and his' methods in the prosecution of the Transvaal campaign : ' , He, Lord Kitchener, knows that'if 'the war is to be brouglit to a satisfactory conclusion, that end will only he arrived at by plodding dogged perseverance, and by playing the Boers1 at' their own game, and damaging ��������� them.;in the most effective manner. ��������� You cannot defeat the Boer by calling him names. He runs away and glories hi it. You cannot get near enough to call him a coward, 'nor would that epithet sting' him to the fighting point. It is a part of Brother Boer's tactics to run, and he makes us run after him; it is a pari: of the tiring but process, and the dominating maxim of the outlying commando is : "We who fight and run away, ��������� Live to fig-lit with Da la Rey." Kitchener, knows this and where another general might have been covering sheets of foolscap with general ideas for Surrounding and capturing the flying burghers, Kitchener is steadily and calmly removing to well guarded centres the means of flight. Firstly, the burghers must have food ���������so we are fringing the food in. Then they must have [horses, so the country from the Urange to ihe Crocodile is being denuded of horses. ��������� The horses must', 'have forage, and the forage of the country is, stored or turn t. Imagine if you can Kitchener's task. Think of the enormous tract of country over jivhich our operations are extended, and you will realize to some extent that in Pretoria is the only possible general for the work in hand��������� a work that demands better generalship than would he required of the commander of an army corps in a ���������European ���������war. .WHAT KITCHENER HAS TO DO. Contrast the position of the General Commander-in-Chief engaged, say, in a war against France. He would have under his command several compact army corps moving in an area restricted by the boundaries of neutral countries. .Little strategy would be called for, except in the events oft a general European conflagration there is no room i;i the future for purely/ strategical movements. Certain recognized positions avi 1L be held or taken and the rest will be a. matter of tactics. The general's, orders to his lieutenants could be made known from one and of the country to the other within a. few hours; he would be in touch with the enemy, whose position and strength would be as well known to him as his own. His work would consist in supervising the generals of division, on whose hands would be left the disposition of the forceji. In South Africa, Kitchener is the head, middle unci feet of the army, He runs everything and knows everything. He has divisions, brigades, and columns, moving in all directions over an area not less than 300,000 square miles, and lie knows the whereabouts of every one.'. He has Home columns that are 250 miles from any railway line, and as far from . telegraphic ���������communications. His grasp of detail is perfect. He, knows how many Cape carts Hen- niker's column has, and he is aware that there are three sick Yeomen in hospital at Buluwayo. THOSE UNDER HIS COMMAND. ; His attitude towards his subordinates is peculiar, for he values man only as a more or less parfeci; machine, and the more perfect he is, the better he treats him. Kitchener has no use for fops of any sort, but he is not so prejudiced by appearance as to order a maa home ������>a������ause he wears an eye glass', as uome people would have you believe. Indeed, sonic of his best officers have an affection for the monocle". If his manner were .translated into words it would run something like this:��������� '.. "I am ^our superior officer ; you have taken service under rne, and the world will judge (you according to your progress. I have great power entrusted to me by the King through his Parliament, and whoever you are or whatever position (/ou fill in the social world lean make or mar you. I want you to do your duty, and your duty is to do as you're told. If you do as I bid, you shall have all the credit for the success in obtaining which I used you as an .instrument. If my, plans miscarry I will take the blame���������unless they fail through your inefficiency. 1 don't care ftvho your tailo ris or how many clubs you may be a member of providing you can lead your men into action with a maximum of dash to a minimum of risk. Idou'f want heroes who will lead their companies up to the cannon's mouth and reduce the stiengthof their regiments accordingly, but steady men who will take cover and shoot away obstruction from the shelter of a nice convenient boulder." Nor does Kitchener rspare himself, as the recent, chase of De Wet testifies. If he is not at Pretoria sitting at the end of a telegraph wire he is somewhere down the line seeing things for himself, and De Wet had not been long in the Colony before Kitchener was at De Aar, talking to the commandant of Hopetown about the horses that, had not been removed from the Hopetown district. Oh such occasions "K. of K." has a fine flow of language. _ ODD BUTTONS. A SI ore tn the North of Loudon Where They ran l(c Kousht. There is an old /main in the North of London who follows the somewhat strange calling of a dealer in odd buttons. The front serves as a shop, and a card in the window informs all whom it may concern that any kind of button-can be matched within at moderate prices. He buys up the buttons from marine store dealers, dressmakers and others, and norts them ii:to little boxes which are properly labelled. You can obtain every kind of button from his stock, whether of pearl, bone, brass, jet, glass, cloth, sliell or horn. It not. infrequently happens that an odd button is required and cannot be obtained of drapers; the particular pattern is not made now, or the tradesman has sold out all his stock, This is where the dealer in odd buttons comes in, and those, who are a button short can get what they want in -his parlour. It is cheaper to do' this, in many cases, than to buy a dozen of another pattern, and sew them on; and matched. He does not reckon to matched. He does not reckon charge, charge more than four cents- for a button, but grateful customers often p'ayh more. , A MARVELOUS INVENTION..

French Government Having Them Manu facturcd in Large Quantities���������Effects of the Illuminations. The French Government is having manufactured in vast quantities a new. illuminating shell. It. almost will revolutionise modern warfare, and is by far the most important invention In projectiles' of the present decade, .vrites a Paris correspondent. . The active preparations being made for a war with England have been stimulated by the belief that this new shell will give France an enormous advantage in the struggle which she proposes to precipitate. Although the secret of the construction of the shell has been guarded in the most careful manner possible under ��������� the circumstances, enough has leaked, out to give a pretty accurate idea of what it is. It will combine the properties of illumination and destructivehess. This will enable an army commanding a supply of the shells to continue fighting all' night, if necessary, and will greatly shorten the duration of future battles. i In her proposed campaign against England, France proposes to, use these shells Ln such a way as will enable her to make short work of her hereditary foe. The, shell is mado adaptable for naval funs and will permit the ITrench fleet to bombard British ports with positive impunity. SHAPED LIKE A BOLT. ' ���������The properties of the lyddite shell and the rocket are combined in this latest and most remarkable evolution. The shell is; about 12 inches' in length and shaped like a bolt. Its exterior is formed of titeel ana so finely wrought that at a given distance it will explode.- The interior isection will still continue.on its fatal mission until it has reached the point sought by the gunner. The shell has be'en-made so small Ln its minimum grade that it can be used in all the small-calibre rapid-firing guns, and it is made upon the rp.pcai.ing principle.which-renders it extremely deadly. '.-.'.' i ��������� The illuminating effects are produced by a combination 1' of certain gases, which whem released create certain waves, lasting from five to fifr teen minutes, regulated as desired, by the gunnel-. The shell can be-projected to any point within '������������������..the range of an ordinary mortar or rapid-firing gun, giving probably ah accessibility to a distance of at least ��������� ten miles The point of bridging the channel by means of projectiles, therefore has not been quite reached by France, even yet, and.",the devoutly wished consummation remains unfulfilled.- It was hoped that the shell ��������� might be so made that it would be possible for the balloon corps to utilize it, but its exploding depends ' upon long range resistance to the air. Such utilization is at present impossible. The composition which constitutes the explosive force far out-distances the destructive power of the contents of the lyddite shell. -4������- HOUSE CLEANING DAYS. The boy knocked at tlm front door.

Injured Bis Spine Whlle/Liftine, and tho Doctors Told Him He Would Neves Fully Keeover���������But He is Once B������or������ Free From tho Trouble. From the Brockville Recorder. In the .western section of Leeds county, there is no man: better known than Mr. Chas. H. Wilcox. He has resided in the vicinity of Mcintosh Mills for years, and during much of the time has conducted a very successful saw-milling business. All of Mr. Wilcox's neighbors know that he was a great sufferer for years from a lame hack, and mast of them know that this affhictiou has now happily passed away. Mr. Wilcox says he owes this happy release from pain to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and those who knpw him will not for an instant question the sincerity of his statement. He gives the story of his suffering and subsequent cure in the following statement:���������" One day, while working iu the mill, and engaged in iifting lumber 1 had the, misfortune to severely wrench my back. I was bo badly injured that I had to be carried home, and for six months I was practically unable to move, and suffered great torture. The doctor told me that I had injured my spine and that I would never fully recover from its effects. At last 1 was able to go about again, but was far from being the man I had been before. For years I suffered almosc continually from pains in the back.and was unable to lift any h,cavy .weight. At times the pain was so bad that I was unable to work at all,and I was often confined to the house for days at a time. During this time I was treated by four different doctors but their treatment did not seem to do me any good. They toid me that, owing to the injury to my spine my back would.always be weak. Seeing that the doctors were unable to help me, and having read of the many cures resulting from thei use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I decided to give, them a trial, and procured a supply. Very soon I could see that they w-ero relieving me a little and this encouraged me to cotttinae their use. In all I took about ten boxes and when they were finished my back was as strong as ever. The pains that,had racked my body for so many years had entirely, disappeared, my back felt as strong' as before the injury. It is now. two years since I discontinued the use of the pills and in all that time I have not had an achq or: pain, so that 1 may safely say that my cure is permanent. I would advise all similar sufferers to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, for knowing what they have /.lone for me, I am confident that they cannot be lesa '. successful in other cases." ."'���������'���������' These pills are sold by all dealers in > medicine o<r may be had by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by addressing the Dr. Williams' Medicine.

American securities are a favorite form of investment in the Royal Families of the Continent, and they take their place with English investments. The German Emperor has nearly yiree-quarters of a million in American debenture, bonds. The amount of his English investments ia not known, and eare is taken to hide their nature. The Austrian Royal Family have investments in Germany and in England. The Czar has almost a million in American railways and about half a million in British securities.

Sundridge, Out., April, 29, (Special). ���������A case of prolonged torture has just come to light in,Strong Township, a few miles from here. It seems hard that an honest man should be kept a prisoner in his own homo for over four years, and yet, that is just what happened to Mr. Mr. Wm. Doey, of Lot 19, Concession' 13, Township of Strong. His family and friends all tried to secure his release, but in vain. ' "For four years, I suffered excruciating torture, during which time 1 .was scarcely an hour free from pain. "Tne trouble commenced in my back, where it often remained stationary for months, and so intense was the pain that I could not lie down t.o take rest, but had to sit night* and day in a chair. The pain would then remove to other parts, of my body, and when in my knees, I was unable to walk, and confined constantly to my room. "I was treated for Rheumatism by several doctors, and also tried many medicines, without receiving any benefit. Almost in despair, I feared I would never again experience the pleasure of being free from pain. "A short .time ago, my attention was directed to some remarkable cures of Rheumatism by Dodd's Kidney Pills, recorded in the public prints. I procured a box, and soon found that they were doing me good. I continued, and very soon I was a new man, and entirely free from pain. "I have continued so for over six months, being able to attend to my daily duties on the farm, and feeling able for any kind of work. , .."'I verily believe this change, this remarkable'cure,- has been effected by the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and i think it my duty to make this state- -ment public, for the benefit of any- afflicted as I was." j : -. t DROLLERIES.

McGuigan, manager and super intendent of the American Boy, was iii. Kaalo this week and gave to a Spokesman-Review correspondent a short account of the work being done at the . property. Owing to an influx of surface water work had to be discontinued in some places in the mine, but is still in progress in levels JNos. 3, 4 and 6, which are being continued. ' Several upraisings are being made to connect the levels and provide stopping ground. Great bodies of ore are being '��������� blocked out. The total work, in tunnels, j crosscuts, upraises, etc., is about G,000 ,(feet, which entitles the property to the claim of being well developed. Shipments of over 200 tons a month have been steadily maintained to the Nelson smelter but will fall off a triflle this month on account of the water. - The ore averages from $75 to $$0 net' and the values are maintained at even- level, all the workings except a 200 foot crosscut being in ore. The vein is on' the property for 2000 feet. No G tunnel is being driven north, and when it strikes the Last Chance it will have a depth of 1,100 feet. This tunnel is now 7(50 feet, which includes 2G0 feet of crosscut. As soon as'tlie snow-goes off Mr. Mc- Gnigan will commence work on the Black Hawk claim, one of (ho group on the vein now being developed. Tie has great faith in it. This claim is across a valley from the American Boy, and consequently when work on both is under way Mr. McGnigan will be driving north and south on the same vein and gaining depth rapidly in each direction. Shipments will likely increase shortly. As yet stoping has not been undertaken on any large scale, the shipments consisting mainly of ore taken out in course of development. The property is .being admirably worked from ' the bottom and none of the surface ore has been taken out. The American Boy has all the ear-marks of a great mining property.
