'The experience of the Donald people is a severe object lesson to the people of Canada, and supports the contention thattraflicing in townsites hy ���railway companies should be put an end to. The people of Donald made their homes th'-re .under representations which gave them every, reason to believe that Donald was to be a permanent railway center, and it is very hard upon many of the residents that, after they have spent the best part of their lives , there, tliey should be forced to, turn out and 'make new I homes for'.themselves.-while they are handicapped by-heavy losses in buildings and improvements which have been rendered valueless. .Mr. Forrest, the owner of the ' Forrest nouse, has alone lost somewhere between ,^-1,000, and $5,000, and other .firms have suffered in proportion.

'' ' ��� i| Nelson Miner: Tub Moyie Leader, the able champion of the interests of that enterprising but ill-used town on the Crow's Nest Line, has entered on the second year of its existence. It is an lip to.date weekly that merits the support of. the Moyie people. C, M. Edwards has resigned his position as mining recorder of the Fort Steele district. He is now looking after the Cranbrook townsite in the absence of Col. and V. Hyde Baker. D. C. Corbin has withdrawn his ap*" plication for a charter to build the Kettle River Valley railway in the Boundary district, being advised that it would be impossble to pass it at this session of the Dominion parliament. The mill at the Golden "Wedge mine on Lemon Creek, in West Kootenay, is now running day and night, crushing 25 tons every 2-1 hours. The last reports were that there was '200 tons of ore in the lower bm and over 30 in thc upper bm. Mining' Interests Transferred. Last week Ghas.

Business in all branches in Slocan City is on the mend. Several sub-., stantial mining deals have been con-, sumni'ated in that " vicinity lately; which has had the effect of stimulating things generally. Much development work is going pa in a quiet way' and some good bodies of ore are being exposed; That section of the country is rapidly passing put of the ���"'wildcat" stage and getting dowjn'on-a permanent basis.
