The first section of the party of 500 minors from Scotland, under engagement to work in the coal mines of Vancouver Island for Hon. Jas. Dunsmuir, arrived on Friday afternoon by the delayed train. There were 109 in the party, an unlucky number of 13 having stayed behind on the way out for various causes. In this section of the party there were 122 when they departed from Quebec. At Ottawa two of the miners left the train, and are supposed to have ..one-over to, the-United. States.'"-At Winnipeg,several missed the'train,.and at Brandon three othersdecided to try life on the plains a.������ being supposedly a little better than in the coal mines of Vancouver Ibland, Scotland, or indeed anywhere else. Others will come through to the coast in a few days. One man named Smith claimed to the police at Vancouver that he had lost $40 ���������-.on the way out. He .'thought lie had been robbed by a companion oh the train. There was no direct, evidence, so no action was taken to follow up the matter; A special steamer conveyed the miners to Nanaimo. Hon. R P. Roblin, the new provincial premier, will probably select the following cabinet: Hon. R. P. Roblin, premier and president of the council. Hon. Colin H. .Campbell, attorney- general. Hon. J. A. Davidson, provincial treasurer and minis, ter of agriculture. Hon. Dr. McFadden, minister of public works. Hon. James 'Johnson or Hon. Robert Rogers, ministers without portfolios. , Mr. Roblin's selection as premier probably means, death- to the Prohibition Act passed to take effect next June. From Far and Near. fllNES AND niNING. President Shaughnessy in the West. President Shaughnessy, of the C. P. R., is on his annual tour over the western end of the system. He arrived in "Winnipeg on Monday, and was busy inspecting the company's property "and affairs here and .an soiiie of the branch lines until'Wednesday,'when lie left for .the west, accompanied by tlie local officials. While' in Winnipeg, Mr. Shaughnessy interviewed the city council regarding the contribution; which the company want' towards the proposed subway on Main 'street, which will be made .necessary by the erection of the new hotel and depot. He/is reported to have'proposed thdt the city contribute $60,000 towards the building of the subway. On Tuesday evening Mr. Sbaugh- nesBy was banquet ted at the Manitoba club, at which 80 leading .citizens' were present. In the course of a speech at the banquethe said that the company had decided to redress the long standing grievance of the west in the matter of passenger rates to the east and return by making the rate correspond to the return rate now prevailing-at eastern points from the west. This is a reform which has long been sought by the Winnipeg board ot trade and others. Silverton has a shortage of miners. The Storm King, near Silverton, is working again. The flume for the Ivanhoe concentrator is nearly finished. The Whitewater mine, for the week ending Oct. 4th, shipped 150 tons of ore. Tlie Princess mine,.near Nelson, has been sold to ' Minneapolis parties for $30,000. The Ethel Fraction has given smelter rsrurns of 500 ozs. silver ������and 20 per cent, of lead. , The ore shipments.froni Three Forks for the month of September were Idaho 81 tons, and Queen Bess 40. The Bosun, at New Denver, shipped 140 tons of ore last month. It ships as steadily as'any mine in the country. Mr. Martin, of Rossland, ha" been looking .over his "property, the Dolly Vardon. near Three Forks, this week. Sandon ore shipments this'week were : Payne, 100; Last Chance, 101; Slocan SttrOO; Mountain Conj 20. Total 341 tons. A big strike has been made on the Highland mine at Ainsworth. ��������� The showing is the largest ever met with in that group. W. H. Yawkey, of .the Minnesota Silver Co., is in the city looking over improvements on the property and belongings thereto. Mr. Hickey expects to have/the Ivanhoe concentrator running by the 20th, if the balance .of the 'machinery-arrives in good 'time. Shipments on the Ajax have been resumed/one car haying gone to the Trail smelter last week, the ore being high grade, with some gold values. -No.'1(5 tunnel, driven ; to connect .with lead is now in 600 feet, and the first ore was encountered .Thursday, when about eight inches of galena and quartz was struck. This is about 75- feet from being under ore showing in'No.'5 level, 100 feet above and 375 feetfrom winze, down 54 feet in bottom of which three feet of ore shows, the ore chute being continuous for that distance. -,". There is some talk of a smelter being built at Crawford Creek. The Emily .Edith is said to have one of the ino.t comfortable boarding houses in the Slocan. It has a crew of 45 men now. The C. P. R. has placed a freight train on the Nelson and Rosebery line. The business at present being such as to make it a necessity. The powers have come to these conclusions in the Chinese question: To punish guilty parties; interdiction of -hipping arms into that country; permanent indemnity to the powers; sufficient guarantees for the future. Britain only imported $18,040 worth of gold from South Africa during February against $6,784,630 in the same month in 1899. The exports bye and bve when things have settled down will bo enormous. The examination now being made under oath into the affairs of the Montreal Cold Storage company, which became insolvent through certain of its officials issuing bogus warehouse receipts and raising money on them is developing a very, deplorable state of affairs. The president of the company admits that he exercised very little care over its business; the secretary-treasurer, D. J. Mc- Gillis, blames the manager, and the manager- blames the other officers for the crooked work, which, led to the collapse of the concern. OTHER LOCALS, Mr. Harris has erected a'very commodious sample roum for the.'Reco just across the lane from the hotel. B. C. Fruit Crop. R. M. Palmer and Thos.

William Hunter, of Silverton, has bought out the Western Mercantile Co's business at Nelson, and will run it on a larger scale than heretofore. ��������� Mayor Pitts returned on Thursday from his long visit to Iroquoi. and other eastern points. He notices great improvement in the place since he left. Even in his own case, he finds a line store and residence, where there was but a pile of ashes when he went away. McEiichern or MeLatchie, we don't know which is right, whose case we referred to in these columns, last week, waived extradition and returned with the sheriff to Minneapolis on Tuesday. He is accused of embezzling a, considerable sum of money from an express corn- pan}' at'that place. The Cosgrove Co. play here in tlie new Catholic church on next Thursday and Friday evenings, Oct. 11th and -" 12th. This company lias a Dominion reputation as being one of the best Canndiasi troupes travelling, which is saying a great deal. 7 , "' ' ' The Labor party has just as much right ,--'as any other party to put up candidates in elections if they, so desire it. Chris Foley, of Rossland", was' chosen at the Nelson convention, and he makes the race with Messrs. Galliher and McNeil. Provincial constable, C. W! Young, took to Nelson on Wednesday, J. Bulko, aged 10 years, 'who was convicted of theft at Slocan City on Tuesday, and sentenced to two years in the Reformatory at Victoria. The lad with two more prisoners were escorted to the coast by constable Forrester and Young. ��������� The C. P. R. is asking for tenders for the construction of freight sheds at Kaslo and Nelson.' The ppeei.ications for tlie latter call for a building 225 by 40 feet. Three offices are provided for the agent and his staff, one for tlie shed- man, and a compartment, 60 by 40 feet for a ' bonded warehouse. An 18 foot I platform surrounds the building. : A gem from the Paystreak: "The bear has met a sad fate. After spending all /summer alongside the Mining Review tent it has at last been poisoned. A post mortem should be held to see if it didn't accidently swallow one of Mr..Clifl'e's editorials." Exactly; and this is why that dead bear has more literary knowledge and common sense than -some editorial (?) critics. The bear was-all right till the gulchite took that awful fit of blues. Little Herbie Cliffe met with a,serious accident on Sunday last. While out playing with some other children, one of them threw some mortar, on the end of a stick, that struck liim in the eyes. A quantity entered one eve, which has been swolen and closed ever since. The doctors are, as yet, unable to decide on Ihe extent of the injury. Until the swelling goes down later they are unable to say whether or not the sight ..will be destroyed. A father who was going away on business called his eldest little boy to him and said: "Johnnie, while I am away I want you to take great care of your mother. I leave her in your charge." That night when Johnnie-knelt at his mother's knee, saying his evening prayer, he said : "Please, Lord, bless .grandmamma and take care of her,; bless father and take care of him, but you needn't trouble about, mother, because I'm going to take care of her." ' The legal statistical vear ' closed on September 20th, and E. T. II. Simpkins, county court registrar, lias prepared the criminal statistics for the county court of Koorenay, to be forwaded to the minister of justice at Ottawa. Dunne the year 40 prisoners were tried, 27 being sentenced to various terms of imprisonment, 12 discharged and one released on suspended sentence. In one instance, that of Flannigan, a Rossland man, 50 lashes were added to the two years' sentence. The aggregate time covered by the sentences was 42 years and three months. ' Of the prisoners tried, 26 are described as usinjr liquor moderately, 11 as immoderate drinkers, and one as a teetotaller, only five of tlie 40 prisoners are described as married men. An inte-esting suit is on at Nelson. Percy Dickenson, on behalf of tlie Warner-Miller syndicate, bonded the Smuggler mine near Slocan City, in which one Greenlee is interested, and made a payment of $12,000 and spent $20,000 in development. The owners, . by the agreement, were to share equallv in the proceeds of any ore shipped yvhile the boiid was in force. A few days before the expiration of the bond, the bond holders shipped some ore.' The ore was on the way to the smelter the day the bond .expired, and the' plaintiffs next day took out! an injunction to prevent the ore from proceeding further, alleging defendents had no longer an interest in the ore. As it is the first case in the courts of the kind, the result will be of great interest to manv.

COili'AXV TO 0AH1.Y ON BUt-IXESS. "_O.M'.'A_.IKH Act, 1897 HELP; THE PROSPECTOR. As high an authority as Gordon Hunter speaks as follows in the interest of B.iC. prospectors: : "I see no reason why a mining fund should-not be established, say $500,000, to be devoted !to the. development of promising prospects. The Government /should establish competent minim, expert, at various points in the province, whose duty it would.'bej'upon application of the prospectors, to examine tlie properties, and in the event of the expert coining to the conclusion that the prospect should be developed,,.the Government would, on his recommendation, advance out of this fund, on the security of the claim itself, and for a small interest of say ten or fifteen per cent., reserved to cover the possible mistakes of experts, whatever sum he recommended to be expended. ' 7 "In this way the prospector would retain 85 per cent, of his interest in the claim, and the money fcould easily be advanced from time to time -if the expert considered such advances warranted." " Now this is exactly what the Mining Rkvie.v hasbeen advocating off and on I tor tlie last year,.and which Pecksniff of the gulchite calls ���������'government grubstaking." It is the prospector who spend most: of his life scouring the hills under every manner of privations, that ought to profit by,his own discoveries; buthe seldom does, for the reason lie has no means of prosecuting work on his claim .when lie finds it.' It is the duty of the government (and the members who advocate it will deserve well of the people) to assist all successful prospectors in doing something with their properties. This assistance should not, of course, be given recklessly, but under the direction of competent aoverniiient officials. If Mr. Green would take up this matter next session, it would be one of the most common sense and worthy measures ever introduced into the B. C. legislature. , Territorial Horse Breeders. A Tarritorial Horsebreeders' association has been formed as a result of a meeting called at tlie instance of the Northwest Territorial 'government at Calgary. Messrs. Bulyea.and Peterson, of the Territorial department of agriculture, were largely instrumental in effecting the organization, ami addressed the meeting at length on the advantages to be gained by such an association. The objects of the association, in brief, will be to advocate' lower transportation rates, regular annual horse fairs and to bring the possibilities of the Canadian Northwest as a source of a remount supply, more fully to the notice of, the British war office. Theofficersof the new assocation are: President, W. R. Stewart, Meadow Creek; first vice-president, A. II. Eck- ford, High River; second vice-president, H. C.

For 2300 years Hippocrates of Kos has been knoiwn tu the world'as tho "Father of Medicine.." This distinction, however, has been wresled from the ancient Greek by the discovery and translation ot an early Egyptian r papyrus treating of ihe subject of medicine, with date so remote as almost to place Hippocrates within tho .ranks of modern physicians. ��������� English medical literature is'about to be enriched by the translation of this payrus, generally admitted by Egyptologists lo be iho oldest book devoted to the science of medicine extant. The work is known to scientists as th'e Payrus Ebers, and is supposed to have been' written during the; reign of Bicheres, a King of the fourth.dynasty, 4088 to 4060 B.C. Thus tho original document is nearly 7000 years old and it contains the' written genesis olf the art of healing. The document is carefully preserved in the library of the University of Leipsic, and the English translation of Papyrus Ebers, a volume of several hundred pages will soon be ready for the press. Page 98 df t'he Papyrus Ebers i3 de-^ voted almost entiroly to remedies for household ills. Ils contents clearly indicate that the ancient Egyptian housewife was beset with cares similar to thoso of the modern housekeeper. It reveals likewise the fact that woman early made uso of cosmetics. The remedy given for the falling out , of the hair is ascribed to the mother of King Teta of the first dynasty. ,To Egyptologists the story of the finding of Papyrus Ebers possesses all the characteristics of a romance. In the winter of 1872-73 Goorg Ebers, of Leipsic, and his friend, Ludwig Stern, spent several mouths al Thebes in quest of rare documents. For a time the two scientists made their dwelling place in'one of the tombs of Abd- el-Gurnah,' and associated dily with the Arabs of Luxor. 'A wealthy citizen of Luxor showed to Ebers the an- tiquitios which he, little by little, had obtained from the fellah on the other side of the Nile, and, at length re- voaled to hiin tho fact that ho was tho possessor of a payrus from the same source.' lUpon close inspection of tho papyrus Ebers made the startling discovery that it was a document of great value and in an unusual condition of preservation. He longed to possess the document himself, but had not means to meet tho- demands of the owner, who was not altogether aware of its full value. However, receiving' the financial assistance of Max Gunther, a wealthy Englishman, Ebers purchased the treasured papyrus and conveyed it to his hokne in Leipsic, there to study its contents at leisure. It was finally turned over to the library of the (University of Leipsic tor safe keeping. In order toi better preserve the valuable antiquity, it .was cut into twenty-nine pieces and each piece placed under a glass. 'According to the statement of the Egyptian possessor, Papyrus ' JEbers was found in a tomb in the so-called II Assassit, a part of the Necropolis of Thebes, reposing between the legs of a jnu'mmy. Since the' finder of the papyrus was dead, it was impossible j ingredients as lizard's blood and pig's to refer to the exact tomb which for- i teeth are in some cases recommended. merly contained the treasure. i The discovery of Papyrus Ebers de- (When Ebers came into possession rnonstrated that the Egyptians as ear- of the pajjyrus, it consisted of a single, ly as 3000 or 1000 years before Christ possessed an astonishing knowledge of a great variety of remedies, and that theiir learned mon could make observation of disease, combine complicated 1 recipes and use them with judgment. According to this oarly writer thero were three different classes of medical practitioners in Egypt at the date of tho manuscript,���������namely: Tho real physician, the surgeon and the conjurers. The relative standing of tho several classes is not known. .fcho origin of medicine is certainly to be looked for in Lhe Valley' of the Nile, and the Papyrus Ebers opens a wide era fbr tho students of tho history of medicine and pharmacology.

Consequently the work, which bears the marks of the period cf witchcraft, if written at all prior to the date named in the calendar, must have been written at least 1200 years before. This makes it highly probable lhat the original book was written during the reign of Bicheres, or at least 4G06 B.C. At all events, the copy of tho papyrus is itself the oldest medical work extant and contains the historical genesis of medicine. '_&. large proportion of the diseases known to modern medical science are carefully classified and their symptoms minutely described by -Papyrus Ebers. The prescriptions recommended are in many cases exactly the same as those given at the present time. The work mentions 700 different, substances, the greater part of which, are taken from tho vegetable kingdom. Some metals and a considerable number of animal extractions were also used. Qf the salts only natron,'.: saltpeter, common salt and sea salt ana (mentioned. The use of such contained in the Papyrus Ebers. A KAFFIR CURE FOR DYSENTERY. Several of the army surgeons havo tried the Kaffir cure for dysentery with marked success in somo very bad cases. It consists of a decoctim of tho root of the pelargonium or geranium. There are upwards of 150 different kinds of wild geranium in South Africa, and each seems equally efficacious in cutting short an attack of dysentery.-The Kaffirs and Zulus simply chew the geranium root, but a more elegant preparation is made by boiling, the root in milk.
