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.

Later reports from Vernon, where James Minto was tnken to the hospital, after the serious accident from a" powder explosion at the Cherry Creek mine, state that he is slowly sinking and that the*e is little bo'te for his recovery. Mrs. Minto is at his bedside. The explosion that caused the fatal injurv, happened Sunday etening, June 1. Mlnto and Dan Chism were resting in the cool of the evening, loungiitt; about on the grass npar the cabin. A thunder storm was raging, but no rain. A box of powder was lying on the ground about 15 feet away. It must have been exploded by the concussion of—a-thunderclap-or—was^struck by lightning. Minto was sitting leisurely on a box and was in a position to re ceive a greater force of the explosion A rock -struck him on the forehead and carried away a portion of the scalp Chirm was Iviiiar oVf'the'ground" and escaped with being rendered unconscious for a short time. At first Minto's recovery was considered certain, but later complications have arisen that place his recovery beyond probability, SLOCAN OHK HHIPMKNTS The total amount of ore shipped froni the Slocan and Slocan City minin; divisions for the year 1902 was, approximately, 80.000 tons Since January 1 to June 6, 1903, the shipments have been as follows: Week T -hI American Boy , Antolno .-..

Statistics arc Mie best refutation of this impression, these show that the value ofthetninorni production of the province for the past year is greater than that of Ihe Yukon: that we have in our mineral deposits a Klondike of our own. and a permanent and ({rowing one at that The Yukon is credited with nn outputof $13,000,000. while British Columbia produced $20, 083,780 : "In 189* the i roduct of the lode mines was valued at 8781.342. while in 1902,it had increased to 118,683,044, or nearly 18 times as much in eight years. The product of these mines in 1902 is valued at 814,(i83,0t4, au increase over the previous year of f.3,618,287, or equal to 80 per cent. The tornage of the ore mined iu 1897 wns 169,826, totiB; in 1898 it had increased to 255,944 tons, or about 27* per cent increase over the previous, year. In-1*899 it was 287,243 tons, or eijual to 38 per cent increase; in 1900 it was 554,793.,tons, or an increase of 93 per cent; in 1901 it was 920.416 tons, or an increase of about 66 over the previous year. "This shows that of the total combined output of the various proylitres of the Dominion during' 1902 (excluding the Yukon territory) British Columbia produced 82 per cent of the gold, 86. per cent of the silvtr, 67 per cent of the copper, 93 per cent of the lead. 2-per cent of tho iron, none of the nickel, 80 per cent of the coal, 50 per cent of Hf coke, and of the total preceding minerals about 49J per cent. Surely Brit ish Columhia is entitled to be calied the 'Mineral Province of Canada ' "The coal mines of the province have, during the past year, made an output never before equalled in their history. The gross output of coal was 1,691.557 tons, of v.hich 221,226 tons were used to make coke, so that the net output for vear it is; reatly Increased copper production of tho province The copper production for the vear has been 27,- 603,7-lfi pounds of fine copper, valued at Stf.4t6.9fi8, an increase of 17.fWy.nG pounds, nnd 8-2.831,674 over that of tite previous • e r, or about 176 per cent, increase in value. "The great increase hns been due to the working of the exceedingly largo and notoriously low grade bodies < f copper ore of llie Boundary, which hns been rendered possible by tlie material reduction made in the actual costs of "molting, which nre authoritatively stated ns biding reduced ns low as ?1 85 to $1.50 per ton of ore.

This is equivalent to an increased production over 1900 of IJ per cent, and coke of 49 per cent. "The statistics show that the gold production of the province—Including both" placer'nnd lode gold—for the pa.-t vear was of a value of $5,818,703. which is an increase over 1900 of 81586,598, or equal to about 12 per cent increase. This is the jjreateht gold production British Columbia has ever made. In 1900 the Increase was 121 per cent over the pievlousyear, and the increase th's year over 1900 is 11 4-5 per cent, show- ing the growing Importation of the gold output of the province This production Is derived from placer mining, including ordinary placer work, hydrau- licimr, dredginp and lode minimr." "Placer mining Is of necessity de- pendent upon the weather, and fo as variable In this -province «a that commodity, but in lode gold mining, as the mines develop, tho production becomes us regular as the output of a manufnc taring business, and It Is to lode mining that the province Is indebted for Its over-Increasing gold production. In 1902 tho lodo mines of tne province produced 91,848,608 In value nf gold, or an increase over the previous year of $895,222, or 2ft per cent, When it 1* remembered that thia increase follows an increase lu 1699 of about 80 per cent, and In 1000 n! 21 per cent, a fair Idea may bo formed nf the development and growth of tho industry. This great In* ci ease is duo first and chiefly to the development of th» Boundary district, but the Increased tonnage of Knsland and Nelson districts has also had its effect.

John Stanton, ot New York, tho father of the copper industry, and one of the best known copper men in the world, who accompanied S. H C. Miner and the other directors of the Granby company on their recent tour of inspection of The company's mines at Phoenix and smelter.et Grand Forks, has expressed a very favorable opinion of the company's future. s "There is no question as to theim mense quantity of ore in sight in the Granby mines,'' said he, "and I am free to'admit that I came west prepared to discount a gieat deal of what I had heard. How deep this deposit extends nobody knows It ia purely conjectural. However, there is every reason to be lieve that the depth should be commensurate with the length and width of this well-defined lode All the reports I had received respecting the size of the ore body and its self-fluxing character have been confirmed by personal examination. "The Granby ore body is^ the largest TOlnmd*rTHTTTi*F|TOsit^MiavD^ amined, and my mjnlng experience has extended to every variety of copper ore. It is annUeoue to the famous Rio Tinto in Spain:" The Granby ore is lower in copper but carries Inrger values in gold and -silver. It la-larger than the famous Tennessee deposit Hitherto sulphide oro bodies from 40 to SO feet wide have been considered large, but the one at Phoenix eclipses anything I ever inspected. I don't know of its equal on the continent, The millions of tons of ore iu sight nnd the *ize of the stopes proved a veritable revelation to me.' SANDON NKWS FLOAT.

Canadian say soiue- Every time you think good of another, you add so much goodness to yourself. Whex you see dark clouds over the future of the Slocan, just change your brand of thinking. Tom Lowry and Jim Hill are buying coal lands in Illinois. Bob Lowery is buying clam soup in Vancouver. There is just one kind of hot Scotch that the average Canadian cannot stand. It comes from a Carnegie bottle; Premier McBride has done the correct thing. He has made it impossible to longer avoid party-line politics in British Columbia. Sandonites believe in this truism from Goldsmith: " Our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.'' ij.-Eia~un,ru Slocan xOr^the owners to see the point of Parker's "trust" argument. mine" J.'L.

And now comes Mr. Camp of Chicago who tells us that a college education te detrimental to young men. But ib can be lived down— if we try hard enough and live long enough. A Japaviwi-s scientist lias discovered that the flea carries bubonic plague. That's funny. We have been bitten by stcco hundred fleas in our timo but are still able to live in the Slocan. Sandon's citizens are of a type that commands admiration.

Zinc Whitest to time in the trade the respective value of white lead has been om time papers about and zinc white. The claim is that white lead is superior to zinc white in. many respects, but the users of zinc white will not admit this, and are equally as positive that zinc white is t\\p .bettor*-iWriting to the New York Engineering and Mining Journal on the 'question raised, A. Heckscher says: "As between white lead and zinc white the latter is the better pigment. It covers equally as well as white lead, is whiter, does not lose its whiteness when exposed to acid fumes, and does not chalk or wear off. It also is not, as a rule, cheaper than white lead pound for pound. The foreign zinc white sells abroad at a figure quite 50 per cent, higher than white lead and sells freely, which alone should be proof sufficient that zinc white is the more valuable pigment. "In a previous issue of your paper, under the caption "White Lead v. Zinc White," yon speak of a commission appointed in France, which has been making a series of comparative tests in painting different kinds of surface at the Pasteur institute in Paris, and yon add that the conclusions so far arrived at are ihat "zinc white, with manganese resinate as a dryer, works, covers and~Hrier~eqirairyr well with white lead." I take it that you mean to translate the text, ""equally well as white lead." "I have now before me there- port itself to which tho paragraph refei-s. It is therein stated that tim e alone can tell which of the two pigments will be thc better for wearing qualities, and thc gentlemen who have been officially charged with the tests at ihe Pasteur institute havo agreed to meet once a year, cxntnine the several surfaces covered, and determine from timo to time what the facts are. "Nothing could suit us better, who are nianiifacturers of zinc white. Wo have repeatedly invited comparative tests of this kind in this country, but the manufacturers of white lead have not bo far been willing to meet ub, or nt least thoy havo not responded. Given a dry surface and nn opportunity for the paint to dry before another coat is applied, it will be found that r.ino white, pound for pound, covers better or more opaquely than lead,tluttit ih whiter, holds its gloss longer, and wears infinitely better than white lead."

FIXED THE 8KUVANT GIKL, J. L. Browersox, the horse man, claimed that ho had one of tho best hired girls he had over known, yet she had one fault. It took her two days to do a fair half day's work. She wns neat and handsome, and a good cook, but the meals wore invariably late. Though the dinner hour was six, tho family always always dined from 7 to 7:10. Tlie \Vliole family stopped eating one day so as to let t'io girl catch up and havo that day's breakfast on time for the next day. .Notwithstanding.this gain of time she trotted over the next breakfast course thirty-two minutes late. Mr. Browersox's business was along the line of "doping'■' indigent hay-burners and selling them for enthusiastic young horses. He could take from the hackman a complete equine wreck, a discouraged, hanging-jawed, lop-sided rubber-necked plug made • out of whalebone and glue, -and5 by the use of ''BrowcrBox's Horse Agitator, 81 per bottle," with name blown in the glass, he could turn it into a Dan Patchen longing for exerc'se, and crazy to take the track aiid wallop out a two-minute mile. Mr.'Browersox got the idea one day when waiting for dinner*, that the girl needed a cure of this kind, and finding that she was taking Bilclad's Great Restorer, he secretly emptied Dr. Bildad's valuable remedy into the sink and poured into the bottle the contents of a $1 bottle of Browertox's Equine Horse .Agitator.''.. That was Sunday night. Monday morning the girl shot out of bed at 4 a. in., had the washing done and out before breakfast, and the breakfast on time. After washing the breakfast dishes she went out and waved the clothes back and forth in the air tp dry them, and had them ironed at 2 p. m. At 4 p. m. her young gentleman called, "snu"?oTSpfd^als!ier gaTf^liaFtliSyf went out and were married before 5 o'clock.

THE LEDGE, NEW DENVER, B. C, JUNE 11 1903. The electric ore-finding system, invented by Messrs. Leo Daft and Alfred Williams, has been much discussed of lato in mining circles in England. It will be remembered by many Slocan mine owners and mine managers, that a representative of these inventors was in the Slocan a year or more ago. Their success was not so complete as many hoped for, but the trouble may havo been more in Ihe lack of faith in the property owners, who did not follow the advice given. Tho inventors describe the system thus: ■'It consists of a method whereby metalliferous deposits, invisible to the prospector and uudiscoverable by mining engineering, are located, trac*'d and mapped out. The system consists of transmitting inductors wliich del v r electric waves of a definite length extremely sensitive to the presence of minerals, and receiving resonators tuned to detect these waves and determine their characteristics. The waves from the inductors are impressed upon the crust of. the earth, in any desired locality, and are radiated to considerable distances-*—horizontally and perpendicularly. The area of ground thus energized is increased or diminished at the will of the operator, irrespective of the prime energy used. Areas as small as 100 meters square and as large as 30 square miles, or greater, are excited by one inductor. The operator traverses that portion "of the energized field to bo explored for mineral and constantly receives manifestations of the waves beneath. On approaching a mineral ' vein or lode, the normal characteristics of the waves undergo a marked variation in intensity or direction or both; the changes arc heard in the resonance and are easily interpreted. When the resonators are over the lode the variation and intensity are great est. Here some very specific changes take place and by noting deusity of wave flux, rotation of path and discord, or overtone of the waves, considerable information as to depth, width and condi- t.inn_nf___t!iA__dorwiBifc_5Hrnht*fi«naMei- Veins or lodes which act as insulators as compared with their enclosing rocks, are discovered with the same facility— the surface variations of the wave differing to a considerable extent. Duplicate working is used where necessary. Two fields of force are focussed so that their waves will coincide, at predetermined angle on the area to be investigated for mineral. The phases of the duplex inductors are tuned to produce periodio harmonies." In June, 19Q2, Mr. Williams made some experiments with the system at the Cwmystwyth mines, near Devil's bridge, Cardiganshire, Wales, and under date of June 8, Mr. Williams reported: "Mount Butt was explored from 'the west, , by throwing out electric waves from midway up Copa hill across the valley and up the east side of Mt. Butt. Here tbe variation from normal was most specific and marked. North of Jack lias gully, extreme concentration of the lines of force was manifest. To the south the attenuation was very noticeable, but direction normal. In the gully, notwithstanding an artificial surface condition created bv a dump of rock in the center, which precluded any close ob* nervation nt that point, the variations of both intensity and direction were eo clearly defined that I waa able to confidently assure Mr. Gammau of the presenco of rich lode oro in the gully between the summit and foot of the hill. A tun* nel was at onee commenced by Mr. Gamman'i instructions, with the result that a good lode of lend and blende was exposed In less than 10 feet of work. Tho lode varied in position, quality *nd angle until the present shows a good, strong reef, with a dip approaching the vertical." And again, on July 31, Mr. Williams writes as follows: "Good lead and zinc ore ia being mined from the stope in the 36- fathoin level in Jackilas gullj; from the lode discovered by the Electrical Ore Finding company's system in June. A sample assayed by Messrs. Johnson, Mathey & Co., shows lead 57 per cent.; zinc 13 per cent.; silvor 1 oz. 6 dwts. The tunnel in the 25 foot level, as proposed in last report, has been commenced and driven 24 feet. Numerous stringers have been passed containing lead and blende. These stringers radiate from the lode beyond. In noting tho wave characteristics of tho Ringside lode on thc summit of Copper hill, persistent overlapping fields were observed from the south. Investigation proved this effect to be from an induced field thrown out by the comet lode. This means that there is considerable metal in the..tin- worked Comet lode east of the fore- breast in present drivago of King's level.'? Speaking of the vein, Mr. Williams says "waves, traversed this lode for two miles, and at the brook Nantycarreggwynion were manifest in the resonators as condenser effects—having been discorded by travel through a metalliferous lode capped with non- metallic material over a considerable distance." Mr. Henry Gam- man, the managing director, wrote as follows: "I ought to say at once that had it not been-for .what your engineers told me I should not have opened up the Comet lode in the 36-fathom level in Jackilas, where after a drivage of less than three fathoms we won the lead and blende ore referred to in the first paragraph of the report. The proof that your engineers were correct in their first statement led me to have the crosscut started on the 12th of June in the 25-fathom level, about eleven fathoms below the original one. I have also wasted money in;'some very expensive development work here under the advice of mining engineers. Had your instruments been discovered years ago it is my opinion that tens of thousands of pounds would have been saved in these mines alone," MORALS IN OKBMANY. kins?' Mary Anderson said in a stage whisper. 'My vest buckles have broken,' 1 answered. 'That's all right,' she replied. 'I was afraid it was your suspenders'." THE WIDTH OF A KIVKB. To measure the width of any ordinary stream, or even of a good sized river, it is necessary to make use of only your eyes and the brim of your hat. That seems queer, doesn't it ? Butit'6 true, and here is the way to do it: Select a part of tho river bank where the ground runs back level, and, °tanding at the water's edge, fix your eyes on the opposite bank. Now move your hat down over your brow until the edge of the brim is exactly on a lino with the water line on the other side., This will give you a visual angle that may be used on any level surface and if, as has been suggested, the ground on yotir side of the river be flat, you may "lay off" a corresponding distance on it. , To do this you have only to hold your head' perfectly steady, and after getting the angle with your hat brim, supporting your chin with your hand if necessary, and turn slowly around, until your back is toward the river. Now, take careful note of where your hae brim cuts the level surface of the ground as you look out over the latter, and from where you stand to that point will be the width of the river, a distance that may readily be measured by stcp- ping. If you are caieful in all th"se details you can come within a few feet of the river's width.— Philadelphia North American. »MMBi>iiiMitiiiiii|iiiinmmaimnimiflig<imiiniiitiiini»inwwaa OUR CORSET DEPARTMENT IS UP-TO-DATE IN ALL STYLES AND PRICES. .

It seems that although churches are being multiplied in the capital, the church is fast losing its influence on the peoplo, and esp< cially on the rising generation, a fact which the delegates at the synod prefer to ascribe primarily to extraneous influences. The Socialists are blamed for educating their children to disdain authority and piety, and mothers are taken to task for being indifferent to the dangers run by their daughters. Thc universal practice is condemned of parents keeping their children out late at nights in restaurants. Finally, the startling statement is made tliat one marriage out of every twelve contracted in Berlin is followed by divorce. The synod ultimately passed a series of resolutions calling the attention of the secular authorities to the dancer to public morality occasioned l>y low-class variety theatres. and music halls, which are increasing at nn alarming rate all over Berlin.

Did you ever notice it? Take for instance some old bach of your acquaintance. Before he got married you never knew him to work in the garden, set eggs, raise chickens and nurse babies. But after marriage; after he gets his shoulders well up in the harness; he can't find time to do anything else. His lodge misses him at its meet- iugs, his friends miss him oh the "nights off;" he neglects his politics, his religion, his personal attire and his whiskers. His whole aim seems to bo to help nature to propagate life. He wants to raise the fattest bnbies, the best vegetables and fruits; the prettiest flower garden, tho reddest-conibed roosters and the hens that lay the biggest eggs. He buys all the farm and poultry journals and studies them more faithfully than he ever did anything iu all his life. Last week while in Sandon, running up and down the flume to see the water flow, a married man stopped me and in a confidential way called me to one side. .''See these eggs," said he. I saw them, of course; couldn't help seeing them, for they were as big as snow-balls and just as white. "My heirlaeyd those," continued he, and from the way he threw his head back and chest forward when he said it, I half expected him to crow. He seemed to think that he, himself, had something to do with the laying of those eggs. "One hen layod those," he persisted; "there's a dozen; I'm going up to weigh'em; come along and see." I was not particularly interested in eggs just at that moment, but I went along. He weighed them and the dozen tipped the scales at two pounds and two ounce.0. This is two ounces heavier than as if it had an awful thirst; we call her Freddie. Another is always on the fight, poking its white little head into tlie brood, and gets boxed about every hour by Biddy; wre call her Bobbie. CONSOMPTIVKS' HOSPITAL An illustration of the manv distressing cases constantly coming before the management of the Free Hospital for Consumptives at Gravenhiirst is in point this week. A week since, the secretary at the head office in Toronto, through whom all applications should properly be made, received a long-distance telephone message from the physician in charge at Gravenhurst paying that a mother with two daughters, both of whom wore afflicted with consumption, had presented themselves at the doors ofthe free hospital, hoping to bc atonce admit-to I. One daughter h; a t'io trouble only in a slight degree, and from a medical point of view is admissable as soon as room can bo made. The other has the disease in a more acute condition, and will need to to take immediate rest until it becomes somewhat quiescent. The family are poor, their railway fans having been paid by a friend. The mother has been given employment on the domestic staff of tho hospital, and the daughters will board in town until there are vacant beds in tlie hospital to admit them. They came all this distance poverty strieken, but in the belief that somehow tliey would manage to get admission to the institution. Want of money is the only thing the trustees tell us that is.preventing'the increase of accommodation beyond the eighty patients already provided for. Up to the present no one has been refused admission on account of his or her poverty, but we are told that the want of funds is preventing the trustees from providing the increased accommodation needed, indeed, a heavy burden of debt is now press ing upon them, and must be promptly met if this work is to be carried on. Contributions may be sent to Sir William E. Meredith, Kt., 4 Lamport Ave., Torouto, or Mr. W. J. Gage, 54 Front street, We.-t, Toronto. THK WORLD WILL OKI ALONG. When King Wilhelm shuta his eyes j The worM will get along somehow'; He's great, but even when he dies The world will get along somehow. Although he is Goa'-s special choice, When men have ceased to hear lliu voice, They'll still have triumphs, still rejoice; The world will get along somehow— Somehow, somehow— The world will get along somehow. When Pierpoht Morgan quits his trust Tho world will got along* somehow; Whon Morgan dies, ae die he must, The world will get along somehow. Hu holds within his mighty hand Tho commerce of the sea and land, Yet when around his gave men htand, The world will get along somehow— Somehow,* somehow— Tho world will get along somehow When Solomon lay cold and dead, The world etill got along somehow; When darkness fell o'er Caesar's head, The world still got along somehow Perhaps you fancy that you know Far more than others here below, But when God summons you to go The world will get along Bomohow— Somohrtw, somehow— The world will get along somehow. —Chicago Record-Herald THK NEWSIMFKR'S WAV. The Pennsylvania newspapers are jumping on tho governor of that state with both feet for signing the newspaper gag law. Horace Greely had a better method yet of getting back at his foes. When anybody offended him, tho Tribune thereafter ignored the culprit, and never mentioned his mame. Horace had an idea that Elizabeth Qady Stanton had wronged him and he issued an order that this strenuous lady should never be mentioned except when it was absolutely impossible to avoid it in connection with general news, and then that she should be called "Mrs. H. B. Stanton," using the initials of her husband. The blow was an awful one to Mrs. Stanton, and she faded from that hour. "Say something good about me if you can," said Alderman Berry to the Kansas City Star the other day, "but say something bad if you can't. At any rate say some thing." AND THE DAUGHTKKS RKVOLVEO. I am pleased to note that at a recent meeting in Washington, D. C, of the Daughters of tho Revolution they revolved. The meeting was a stormy one for a time. The lie direct was passed and the ar was full of "rats" and hairpins, and ono prominent Daughter so far forgot herself as to say "gosh dang it!" I tell you when these modern aristocrats get together to mutually admire and mutually conspire, there is likely to be blood on the moon. Daughters of the American Revolution, forsooth! Well, what in the name of Jezebel have any of them done to deserve notoriety ? What have they ever bred in the community—except a disturbance ? W. GRIMMETT, C. P R.
