The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919.

A strong lead has been exposed by open cuts and a shaft and somo very rich ore has been taken out. A. Jacohson, C. Barber and II. A. Hicks are the owners to reaping enhanced benefits later. A deep tunnel was commenced in September last, and since then only enough ore has been taken from the upper levels to defray the cost of exploration work. A three-drill compressor plant has been put in to facilitate driving, together with a large ventilating plant operated bv water power. This main tunnel is now in 1,700 feet, and is seven feet hv nine feet in the clear. A shaft was also started from the lowest of the previous tunnels, and this has been sunk 220 feet on the vein. Tlie lode has been opened up at two stations below No 5, that is Nos. (5 and 7, 100 and 200 feet respectively below No. 5. A raise has now been started from the main tunnel to connect with No. 7. This wil! be 185 feet long, and No. 8 station will be located half way up the raise. The lode has been proved at Nos. ti and 7, and ore is being extracted at the present time. The lode at the level of the main tunnel has not yet been explored,but the upraise will soon be completed, and the vein in the lower level will then be explored. All ore from the upper levels will be handled through the main tunnel,"thus expediting the work and reducing the cost of mining. KXTENSIVB DEVELOPMENTS. The Payne Will Soon Have Three Now Level* From Which to Stojii' Oro. °8 - x_*> w ISjJA General Review Given in the Engineering and jji* Mining Journal by E, Jacobs. o Continuing his article on Mining in British Columbia, the first installment ■of which was published in these columns last week, E. Jacobs says- More reduction works are being established as the demand for thein increases. Smelters have been erected at Pilot Bay, Nelson and Trail, in the Kootenay; at Grand Forks, Greenwood and Boundary Falls, in the Boundary, and at Van Anda, Texada Island. The smelter at Northport, Washington, is within 20 miles of Rossland, and other smelters in the United States also treat ores from British Columbia. The biggest stamp mill in the Province is at the Ymir mine, where a battery of 80 stamps is in operation. There are other stamp mills, concentrators, etc., but it is evident that an enormous quantity of plant and machinery will be required to meet the rapidly growing requirements of ore production and treatment. Much outside capital has already been -SiaRloyfidjii^qniiection with the min i n g a valid free miner's certificate, which costs $5 for a full year or a proportionate sum for any shorter period, but all certificates expire on May 31. A free miner may enter on Crown lands and, too, on other lands where the right to enter has been reserved, and may pros-' pect for minerals, locate claims and mine. Claims may not be located on Indian reserves or within the curtilage of any dwelling. Should a free miner neglect to renew his certificate upon expiry all mining claims held by hiin under its rights, if not crown-granted, revert to the Crown, unless he be a joint owner, in which case his interest or share reverts to his qualified partners or co-owners. It is not necessary for a shareholder in an incorporated mining company, as such, to possess a free miner's certificate. A mineral claim is a rectangular piece of ground not exceeding 1500 feet square. The claim is located by erecting three posts as defined in the Act.

The phaft connecting No. 5 level with No. 8 level,which was driven from the north side of the hill, is being sunk at a high rate by contract and raising from No. 8 is in progress at the same time. The connection between these levels should be made before De- comber lst. The shaft is now 186 feet down below the No. 5 tunnel. A new hoist was recently installed and is now being operated by air This hoist takes the place of the gasoline hoist which was not entirely satisfactory Tho air is furnished by a compressor located at the portal of No. 5 tunnel. Air drills are now used in the shaft for sinking. industry of the Province, but "much more is needed for the more extensive development of its enormous mineral resources. Eastern Canadian money has been put into mining and smelting enterprises at Rossland, in the Boundary and elsewhere. United Slate, capital haB done much towards developing mines at Rossland and in the Slocan, and the British Columbia Copper Company, Limited, of New York, has spent more than $600,000 on its Mother Lode mine and smelter, near Greenwood, with good returns now coming in. A comparatively large amount of British capital has also found its way I into British Columbia mining enterprises, but all these combined will very probably falll far short of the aggregate that two or three years hence will be similarly employed iu the Province, so big will be the future of this important industry The following are some of the British Columbia mines whoso total dividends to date have each exceeded $loo,o0» of electric drills I recently! *10-,00 t0 **W >»»** -•'•■ pnrehiiped for the Payne a complete two-drill electric plant and it is our intention to give this plant a thorough trial The electricity for the plant is | generated at the mino.

A mineral claim prior to being crown-granted, is held practically on a yearly lease, an essential requirement of which is the doing of assessment work on tbe claim annually to tbe value of $100 or, in lieu thereof, payment of that amount to the inining recorder. Each assessment must be recorded before tho experation of the year to which it belongs or the claim is deemed abandoned, When assessment work to the value of $500 has been recorded the owner of a mineral claim is, upon paying a foe of $25 and giving certain notices, entitled to a crown grant, after obtainment of which further work on the claim is not compulsory. Leases of unoccupied Crown lands are granted for hydraulicing or dredging, upon the recommendation of tho Gold Commissioner, after certain require* mollis have been complied with An application f«e of tio is payable.

Kindly allow me to inform your readers that the word Theosophy is derived from two Greek words—Theo, divine, and Sophia, wisdom. This divine wisdom is the silver cord running* through all the religions of the world, therefore Theosophy gives no more allegiance to Hinduism than it does to Christianity, nor to Buddhism more than to any other form of religion iu the wide world; see ing as it does in these, various forms hut one Eternal Truth even as there is only one centre to the circle.

THE LEDUi*., NEW DENVER, B.C., SEPTEMBER 12 1901. m Grandma Cooks at Tt \ "Grandma, I see by a writer in an eastern women's paper, that the mothers in the "social circles'* in Ontario are complaining of the great difficulty experienced in finding young men for their marriageable daughters. They say that the servant girls—those who work for a living—readily lind husbands, while those of refinement and social standing are doomed to spend their maidenhood, uncared for and alone. Why is this?" The tjiiestion was asked by a bright eyed daughter of sweet temperament and lofty aim. and Cirantliiin adjusted her glasses to the situation and replied: ••Well, now. daughter;., it do puzzle me lo know what there is strange about that. Them mothers inns' he poor critters, indeed, not to be'able to sec where they have misled themselves an' failed in their callin". When I was a gurl I suppose the same question was asked, an' when you grow to be as old as 1 he they wi]l be askin' it still. Why', bless yer soul, child; its no fa lilt o: the young men, nor the young women, nor be the mothers all to blame. It's the way o' the world. Society, child, society's to blame. Yes, they had society when 1. was a gurl, air' some o' it was much the same as it. be now; but not so much so. In them days women looked deeper into things than they do now, an' even what was the --wa-y-up" set looked deeper tlvn th' surface. Men in them days was mighty proud o surface showin's, prouder'n the_\ shell o' any o' us, from royalty down to peasantry. But there be a heap o' difference in the way we have developed what's in us. If there be any good in being o' good stock, aud I'm not say in' there is, but if there be, then it o't to show in soniethinr deeper than on the surface. Deeds o' kindness, works o' love, simplicity o' character, lofty ambitions, charitableness, freedom from sham an' social foibles; these characteristics should show in the lives, o' the gurls o' today. This be a practical age. an age o' *'works,'' not o' fume, fuss an" lizzie. The gurl what works develops a. stronger, nobler character, and bci-omcs useful to those about her, She learns to know the meaning o' life, learns to know herself, and, knowing ■ herself, she learns to develop the best that is in her—awl any gurl what does this, be she o' high stock or low stock, is sure to make her's a successful life. Remember this, child, an" Ion't be tucked away in Ihe ideal that life in a- dreamy fairy-land for mtterllies to play in.'* WO JIANGS ItKASOX IS lill(ll), A writer in a Xew 'York maga- I zinc tells what he en'deavored to learn about corsets. He got inquisitive and took a day oil' to satisfy his curiosity on thc question. This is the way he tells about it, and it might be said right here that] he is not the first, man who has mastered the subject in a brief space of time: him, and Annie has worn corset- long enough to know something about them, so I went hopefully to her and asked: " 'Annie, why do you wear corsets? ' Her reply'was very encouraging and stimulating: 'Why do I wear of their business; most of their patronage appears to come from the women, and those who make a specialty of female diseases, I notice, are always busy.' "'The inore reason why they should keep their mouths shut, and not go around abusing the people- corsets? What a question; why do j who support thein." And Annie I wear dresses, stupid ? ' i broke the conversation by*leaving "'Because it's the fashion. 11 the room to look after something suppose," I replied. 'But that;in tlie kitchen, isn't exactly answering my ques- \ " I picked up'a ladies' magazine tion.' ' ;I saw on the table, aiid. idly turn- " 'Well, I could do without a7 ing the leaves.

" *No. thank the—well, that one of the luxuries monopolized the fair sex: but. now. honest Annie, don't you believe you'd bt better off without them?" " 'Oh.

" 'No, and if you believe everything cranks say or write about corsets you'll simply make yourself ridiculous, that's all.
