The Klondyke* Kootenay and Manitoba, these three portions of Canada are engrossing more attention than any other portions of the North-American continent, cr perhaps of the known world. The first two for their enormous deposits of gold and other precious minerals and the latter for its magniftcient area of productive soil. It would seem that nature had almost exhausted herself in endowing these portions of the earth with their illimitable and inexhaustible resources. At no other time in the world's history, if we are to credit there- ports, has so much gold been produced in si short a period of time as has found in that far away northern laud. True, the means of ingress and egress are very difficult and attended with great dangers, hut the possibility of acquiring not only a competency, hut a sufficiency of wealth is enough to tempt the more adventurous to brave any and all dangers. Our neighbors to the south, the Yankees, with their usual greed, arrogance and insolence, are not thankful for being permitted to go into that country and be treated on equal terms, but demand that their merchandise shall be admitted free of duty. If the district were in Yankeelaud there would be some reason for such a demand, as it is not customary with that nation to provide an}r means of dispensing justice or maintaining law and order. The Klonkyke being a British country we are bound to see that every individual gets British justice and adequate protection. The great mistake the government has made was not to exclude every alien and to only grant claims to British subjects. Judging from the great rush of people going there it would not be surprising if there would be 5000 men in there by this time next year. The Kootenay and tributary districts of British Columbia, much nearer, are not invested with such a degree of adventure, and the mining being of the quartz character it is not likely to attract the same class of people. To this region will come the more staid, steady and plodding prospector, to be followed afterwards by the capitalist to;secure investments., Both of these will find ample reward fort their toil and confidence. , The mineral section of British Columbia is the; largest in area, the richest in quality and the most accessible of any mining country in the world. Nowhere else can be found mountains abounding in gold, silver, lead and nearly all Other precious ores. There is in this province and in this portion of the province 'sufficient ore to engage the most persistent development for years; aye centuries. Every person who visits this, district is astounded at the mountains of money waiting: the stroke of the sledge, drill and pick, to relieve from their fastness the incalculable stores of wealth that have beeh placed there by providence for the well-being of man. To the prospector we off-r miles of unexplored country that will amply repay him for his toil, to the- investor perfect security for his investment, and to the merchant and artisan abundant trade and constant employment, and to all the e*ijo3'-ment of mild government and equal justice. It would appear that when nature was grinding out the cones of gold with the crystal grindstone in the Klondyke, and upheaving the mountains of quartz in the Kootenay she was depositing on the plains of Manitoba and the adjacent territories the most fertile soil, capable of producing a greater quanity of food products to the acre than that of any known country. There seems to have been a wise provision that the gold discoveries should not have been made until there were a1' large enough population to produce food for them, in a country sufficiently near, that it would bear transport. We are now daily in receipt of beef from Alberta, flour, butter, cheese and other breadstuffs from Manitoba and every day is proving their superiority in eating and preserving qualities to that of the produce formerly received from the south. Nowhere else in the world is the farmer rewarded so munificently for his toil as in Manitoba. Blessed with a soil that will produce everything in which the Anglo-Saxon attains his greatest perfection of intellect, statute and general health and governed by the same wise and beneficent law that prevails in the British Empire. No wonder that the agricultural populations of the earth are ���directed to that most favored province, for nowhere else will they find such rewards. a"^a^iv-''ii7j -V ���- \ rj>M, <jA v^ >"> ,'v MA ���A"<u 'A^cr^ Manitoba with her 02706 farniers expt��rtin| a, Truiy the" Klondyke^ Eloofehay^^n^fMa^ toba are desc - ~r ~11 ^~ -�����*. *+*���<����� are receiving ��� ... , ���. t The invention- of, telephone^ mutir^^?^ egraoh -��� wires.- wand'^^ty^^��tingJ.;V^ctoSS�� together with , the low, priceaqf .paper;^aare,^�� ginning to, bring;: in;:their,^ain^pto^^l^i|fr salts'.

It might slowly grow to that federal council to which we must always look forward as our ultimate ideal. ^ , The question of defense quite naturally demanded special reference. The gigantic navy and the military forces of the United Kingdom are maintained at a heavy cost, and when it is considered that during the, present reign, every war, great or small, has;ahad at the bottom s colonial interest, either of, a colony or of a great dependency like India, it stands to reason that in any federation the colonies should bear their share of the burden of maintaining the defenses of the empire- Britain looks upon her colonies as children, arid, as Mr. Chamberlain forcibly put the situation, ,{in the lifetime, perhaps, of some of us we shall see the population doubled, and certainly in the lifetime of our descendants there will be great nations where now there are comparatively sparse populations ; and to establish in the early days this principle of mutual support and of a truly Imperial patriotism is a great thing, of which our colonial statesmen may well be proud.*' Therefore, we all have4 an interest in common defense against any possible enemy. Mr. Chamberlain believes that an interchange of soldiers between the colonies and the motherland would work advantageously. It would give the colonial troops an opportunity of measuring themselves against the regular arnry and learning the discipline and manoeuvres which are practiced on a larger scale in the old country* Mr. Chamberlain dealt with the subject of commercial relations in a manner that deeply impressed the colonial premiers. On account of the complicity of the trade relations between the colonies, the difficulty of any solution that would unite all, in the manner that the Zollverein united the empire of Germany, was pointed out. Mr. Chamberlain, after discussing the matter at length, concluded thus : '' As all are aware, Canada has offered preferential terms to the mother country, and Germain and Belgium have immediately protested, and claimed similar terms under these treaties. Her Majesty's government desire to know from the colonies whether, if it found that the arrangements proposed by Canada are inconsistent with the conditions of those treaties, they desire that those treaties shall be denounced. If that be the unanimous wish of the colonies, after considering the effect of that denunciation upon them as well as upon us��� because they also are concerned in the arrangements which are made by these treaties���then Her Majesty's government will most earnestly consider such a recommendation from the colonies, and will give to it the favorable regard which such a memorial deserves.5' What effect this meeting will have on the future of the Empire time alone can tell, but that it will be for a closer union between the colonies and the motherland is the earnest desire, we feel, of all true Canadians. The time is now ripe for a full discussion of colonial relationship to the mother. ^co.ulltTyv.^.,^h^^.v.is not a country in Europe to-day that is not jealous of Great Britain, and in the event of a THE NELSON ECONOMIST r<, >.' v> ' Ah ,Ai I stt v r ���''�����/-**.�� -- .. _* v- J i-1 great war she would be harrassed.by any and all of^ them* So far as Canada is concerned, she has learned to distrust her neighbors ;Jt in fact she is constantly reminded of what she may expect in the event of Great Britain becoming embroiled in a war with any European nation. The present status; of Canada as a colony would not deprive f her of any advantage she might then possess,, but the presence of a large sized fleet in our waters and a standing army, might act as a constant reminder to our neighbors, who impress upkm us the superiority of their numbers, that we were not to be trifled with. Not, but what in any event, Canada could be depended, upon to render, a,: good account of herself, but the presence of\ a fleet of .well-equipped warships and a standing ��� army would, have a remarkably .quieting influence on unruly and inhospitable neighbors. From a commercial standpoint, the,advantages cannot be estimated. As Mr. Chamberlain re- marked, Imperial Federation is in the air, and the sooner, it is an accomplished fact, the better it will be for all concerned. ; ; , ������ a, The man who* v after : studying ^a\ hundred women, thought he knew the sex thoroughly, admitted, on intimate acquaintance with the hundred and first,, that be J was densely ignorant of the nature of any of them. Surely, feminine nature is a complex riddle. The aggregated philosophers of ancient; and modern times, embracing every exponent of truth/rom Aristotle down to Herbert Spencer, have had a wrestle with it. That mysterious microbe that underlies a woman's whims;has been too elusive for their intellectual scalpels., A woman is a bewildering witch-fire that puzzles philosophers. The profoundest thinkers lose their specific gravity when she becomes the centre of attraction. On the part of the male, especially in affairs of the heart, it may be said that he is far more transparent. For instance, it is far more natural for a man to love all womankind than to be permanently devoted to a single woman. Again, on behalf of man and woman, love is so closely allied to war that its fullest expression is an appeal to arms. But there is a practical side to love, and this is sometimes made manifest in breach of promise cases. During the progress of the case against M. W. McLeod by Mrs, Rideout, last week, the practical side of love came out very prominently. They had loved each other for six years as only a saloon keeper and a widow could possibly experience the delicate sentiment, and then all at once negotiations were broken off. Mrs. Rideout appealed to the strong arm of the law to arouse her recreant lover to a sense of his duty, with the result that a jury gave the broken-hearted widow a $3�������� salve for her bleeding heart. The love affairs of McEeod and Mrs. Rideout were detailed with great minuteness in court, and while we trust their peculiar mode of courtship may never become popular in Canada, it was of that character that a jury believed to be worth about $3,000, iind as the verdict appears to be endorsed by the rest of the community, The Economist does not feel inclined to criticize it. !

Dear Mr, McBeath and, Friend Dunc : X now take my pen in one hand to say that you are a d liar if you think I want my mail and letters and stuff sent on to this place any more already. I have ceased to love the postmaster at this place, which is a woman of the gentler sex and female persuasion, and also bakes pies and j sells chewin tobacco at her stain pery. Also her husband is a barber, and so when I get myloving letter's all smeared over with hair and huckelberry juicer and I am handed tobacco tags for change, I can pretty near tell them that there is something the matter with the post office department which is as I said a d«—— shame, and I threat- ened to lick all the stamps and officials about the office, including the husband who, shaves a man with a file and reaps your hair with a lawn mower. I have now wrote to the/head freight agent who gives away post offices^ and sells stamps by wholesale at Ottawa and I have laid my complaint in his ear., I told him in a clear tone of voice and with my left foot slightly in advance of the other that if he was going to appoint any more female mail officers I would move over to where the eagle and star bangled spanner shriek like h—— all the time in the interest of those poor downtrodden wretches who eat bread for a living. f —- The post office here is not such an ornament to society in general and the British Empire in particular as the one in Nelson, where the graceful curves of your attractive form can be seen through the wickets. They charge just the same for stamps, but they have no cute letter boxes with gold trimmings and dainty silver plated key that cost you half a dollar to get back. Here the gaudy trappings of the vain world are dispensed with and the pest office arrangements are confined tO-six_pigeoii holes built in a shallow box that come to town loaded with condensed milk. The postmaster being somewhat of a woman as I hinted before, has this letter works in the kitchen and when you call for your mail she is just as liable to hand you a piece of cabbage or ham that was left over from yesterday's dinner as a sweet letter from loved ones at home. That's what makes me a trifle sore at this end of her majesty's mail service, although it is just possible that Queen Victoria doesn't know that I have been handed a bunch of stove polish, a few stewed apples and a baby's napkin at different times when I went there in the dear hope of receiving a sweet perfumed billet doux from nry own or some other fellow's girl. You can see now how my sensitive feelings have been lacerated. No man on earth would not be a little ruffled when he goes hopefully mail- ward full of the delightful expectation of getting a packet laden with words of love and gladness and is handed instead a half-eaten soft fried egg. Vou can tell Mr. Gilker that his method of allowing nothing about the shop to be put in the boxes except the regular mail matter and his own store accounts is far preferable to the Deer Park idea of making the boxes the receptacle for hairpins, washing soda, barber's utensils, ancient butter and other household scenery. In my next letter to the postmaster general I' will mention this matter to Mr. Gilker's credit. I think your post office must do a larger trade than this one, because - altgough I have been the largest patron here during the past month and have in every way endeavored to help the business along and encourage and foster a great national industry, still I have only been, able to snatch time from my domestic cares to write twice. This is one letter ; the other was ah indignant response to a coarse, rude individual who was so lacking, in the finer sensibilities and feelings as to remind me that I owed him money. . Possibly I do, but he might have taken into consideration that I do not care to have my young and tender life harrassed by such worldly trifles. Besides he's not the north pole—he can be reached all right enough. / a , \ ] So, as I said in the beginning, if you send any .more mail here for me I will not be responsible for my actions when L return and find it out. Put all my vast correspondence as well ajs all the money and meal tickets you can find lying.around in Box 157, and for so doing you will be exhibited to a joyous chunk ?p£ my gladsome and much-coveted love. Selah! Yours in mv shirt sleeves, Seneca G. Ketchum. A NEW CRUSHER, An invention that is likely, to. revolutionize mining methods has recently been invented by Mr. B. R. Seabrook, manager of the Albion Iron works, Victoria, and J. R. Brown. It is a rock crasher, and practical mining men who have witnessed it in operation have no hesitation in pronouncing it the most perfect machine of its kind yet placed upon the market. Mr. Seabrook has also several other machines which will facilitate the treatment of ores. These machines are no w being manufactured at the Albion Iron Works, which establishment has been forced to increase its manufacturing facilities. The rock crushers will be made in different sizes to suit the requirements of all. The following is a description of the machine given by Mr. Seabrook : The machine will be known as the *' Sea- brook-Brown Improved Lever Rock Crusher/' and the Albion Iron Works will at once begin the work of manufacturing them, as they have received several orders already. Immediately over the machine is a large telescope hopper. The lower part of this hopper is so constructed that it may be arranged sufficiently high to admit of changing the dies as required, thus avoiding vexatious delays and expense of moving and shifting the hopper. Immediately on top of the upper oscillators, or crushing, portion of the machine, is a heavy hood which will convey the rock directly into the mouth of the crusher, allowing it to engage with the die plates. The rock is sheared, crushed and oiven a downward movement with a half revolution. On the backward half revolution the rock is turned over by the use of the teeth and placed in a suitable position for the return movement of the machine. While the top -■c.\ h oscilliators are in action and crushing -, con stantly, the material is discharged; upon grizzly or screen of suitable mesh to deduct'al the rock which has been crushed fine "enough before; the remaining rockr-'is ,,r'%<ii^ta^g:ecl;5'^®Si. one or, more lower , oscillators!i:;;^Wle <ttb rock is being Tu^^'-'d^sHea^'by^^^tpw^ oscillators, there is; another \;gfizzly\wHM takes 4all "the^ rock'"that ;is/:npt ^^a^gfe"^ pass through.

There is no doubt the mine has been badly mishandled, but plenty of ore could be got even now without much trouble by sinking in the tunnel. There are as a matter of fact over twenty men now employed, some of whom are doing fresh development work which will eventually render accessible larger bodies of ore than ever. The mistake made hitherto has been that this new development work has been neglected. There will be another meeting of the directors at Laurie as soon as the party return from their trip through the Lardeau, which will be, it is expected, sometime this week.���Revelstoke Herald. THE STRANDED NAKUSP. A Trail special to the Rossland Miner says that no further efforts will be made to pull the stranded steamer Naknsp into the Columbia river. She will have to be raised by jack screws, placed on skids and launched again. The combined efforts of the engines of the steamers Nakusp, Trail and Kootenay failed to move the Nakusp more than a dozen feet, and the river fell so rapidly that she was soon left high and dry. The wdieel is now just at the edge of the channel and the big boat is resting on small recks, some of which have almost worked their way through the hull. " The mishap will prove an expensive one, and it is likely to cost about ��5,000 before the boat is again in the water. The entire crew is still on board, but some will be laid off until the Nakusp is again in service, which is likely to be a month or mere. The boat will be raised with jackscrews, and while she is on the stock she will be generally overhauled, She is 170 feet in length, weighs about 515 tons and cost in the ne:ghbcrhoc:d of $57,000. While the Nakusp is undergoing repairs, 1 m �� TO safe!? Ilfe-rand Forks Miner. .

There is no truth in these reports.

CANADA'S APPLE CROP. New York, Se'pt. 13.���The Sun prints the following despatch from Topeka, Kas., today. Representatives of Canadian fruit companies are now in eastern Kansas contracting for the big surplus of the apple crop. The cities of Winnipeg, Ottawa and Toronto have men here and when they have contracted for the surplus they will go to South Missouri, famous as the land of big red apples, and continue their purchases. P. J. Miller, representing a big Manitoba concern, says the failure of the Canadian apple crop will cost the people of that country an enormous sum, as the Canadian tariff on American apples is 40 cents per barrel. Judge Welhouse, the apple king of the world, who owns 2,500 acres of orchard in Eastern Kansas, will contract his entire crop to the Canadian buyers. T. Morley, of Thompson Bros., has left on a business trip. THE CITY COUNCIL; ' - The regular meeting of the board of aldermen was held last Monday evening.

We returned over the same route to Nordenskiold river and then explored that river from its source to its confluence with the Lewis. We returned again to the head of the river and following back to rear Dalton's post we explored Lake Arkell and the Tankeena river, which is another branch of the Dalton trail.

Yours truly, a^R��SHNPA1LE" A WINTER ROUTE.. News has reached Victoria from Mr. J. J; McArthur, who left last June with a party _ or surveyors to explore the several routes to the Yukon. The Dalton trail had been recommended highly as a winter route and so this was the Ist to be explored by Mr. McArthur. We writes as follows : "We left Pyramid Harbor late m June, and after spending some time looking over the cotuitry at the head of Chilcat river We were ove talen bv J- F. Mahoney, Jack Dalton Frlk Bach and Mr. Battlehauser, represent- in" the Rothchilds. We went over the Dalton trail until we reached Hootchei lake, the on llrof which is the Nordenskiold river. S m this place the trail follows the river, Prom tnte f onctwardlv course and empties which takes an eastward!} cou r into the Lewis river above the Rink rapids^ Instead-of the trail, we took a due northerly cou��eOverland for Fort Selkirk, at the mouth at* W ���'aj '; Rink rapias anu tivc k-iu^x....^. ^-..,,....: v^,.; but he thinks th^t:"the��>otild;he\no^^t;v:.:^i< difficulty in extending the. road, on' down /the- -;.;���;-,^ about lorty-nve iuura.u��"..4...;:,--; .�� ..^.:r, = v:.- ,r3 kirk, Maloney, - Beach and ^Battlehauser.;^ secured , passage down the river on... a,.raft .-���: ... while Dalton and some Indians remained there to have timber in readiness for a raft on which to take the cattle to Dawson in. the, event of a failure to charter the steamer Beaver to take them down, which, was, then at' Sixty Mile.

Sixty.miles from the fort they met the Dalton ,party-^ cattle and Mr. McArthur says he was. surprised to see them in such excellent condition. It was estimated that the herd had added 2 000 pounds of flesh since leaving,the ship at Pvramid Harbor. They expected and m all probability made Fort Selkirk by the 5th of Au-ust. One day behind the Dalton herd was Baker with his twenty.eight head of cattle most of which had packs and were in good condition. Near Hootchei lake, Courtney with his herd of 625 sheep was seen ; he had lost but two. Cameron, of Victoria, was seen Out of the seventy cattle he started with he had lost about thirty in a stampede. The Indians at Chilcat have since rounded up a number of them and are dealing out beef steak to the hungry miners at Dyea and Skagway. "2l- t i " ������*; i b.j\ 11 '^ j f ��� is 1 I %\ ��!

Bit !»! The famous motto, '' Noblesse Oblige/' had a striking exemplification when the Grand Duchess Sergius was presented at the court of St Petersburg. As that Russian great lady was receiving the imperial kiss from the Czarina, the string which confined her priceless pearl necklace broke and the pearls roiled down her dress, rattling on the floor like hail, without looking to the right or left, and without noticing the loss of her matchless pearls, the grand duchess retired courtesying from the room. An ordinary woman would have been rattled. Russia is probably the only country where a maximum age limit to marriage is put: a Russian may not marry after eighty. One is apt to suppose that such laws must be works of supererogation; for wThat old great-grandpa over eighty could expect or wish to get married? But self-deception is marvelous, and especially so is that of men about their perennial attractiveness to the other sex.
