NELSON, B. C, SATURDAY, JANAURY 23, 1904. ISC N ews of the M mes Reviewing tbe mining and metallur-1 thing is on the ground to complete the gieal progress made during the year I tram, but the weather seriously retards 1903, the Mining Journal, of Loudon, says it will prove a memorable one, particularly in respect to pure science. The Journal speaks of many things of immediate interest to the Pacific Coast, saying: "Turning to gold mining, we "find considerable increases shown in the production bf gold. The world's output for 1903 will probably exceed ��60,000,000 in value. This corresponds with the estimate of the Director of the Mint, Washington. The most productive gold mines at the present time are the Honiestake, South Dakota ; the Simmer & Jack, Transvaal; .the Boulder Perseverance, Western Australia ; the Robinson, Transvaal; the Golden Horseshoe, Western Australia ;. the Champion Reef, India; the Rose Deep, Transvaal; the" Mysore, India; the Waihi, New Zealand ; the Geldenliuis Deep Transvaal; the Portland, Cripple Creek, Colorado: and the Mount Morgan, Queensland. In the Transvaal the geological structure of the goldfieldsia being warmly discussed", jancl itappcars that the conditions at great depths do not altogether conform to the theoretical views hitherto accepted. The Cinderel, a borehole, yielded valuable evidence, the Main Reef being struck ait a depth of 3309 feet. In Western Australia the future gold production of which has been discussed by Mr. H. C. Hoover, the jniines possess a more speculative character as to the continuity in. depth than those of the Rand, but the high average grade of the ore now being Worked, taken with the proved possibility of working 7 dwt. ores and the fact that only 10 per cent, of the known area has been prospected, point to a great output for many years to come. Auriferous mining is being prosecuted with energy in other districts. In,, Rhodesia the outlook is dubious; and an interesting account of tbe working of a wide quartz reef in soft ground at Rezende was given by Mr. J. A. Woodburu." the work. The men are up to their hips in snow, and stringing cable under such circumstances is slow. The distance from the railway spur to the upper terminal is nearly 2J miles, and there are a few subsidiary lines. Weather permitting, everything should be in running order by the end of the month. This is a company that does not p-irt with a share under parr and the demand for the stock shows that its value is appreciated. EVENTS AND GOSSIP BOUNDARY MINING NOTES. YMIR MINING NOTES. Phoenix Pioneer. Bob Fraser reports the finding of "an excellent ledge of ore this week on the Evening Stair, Wellington camp. Double shifts are now being worked in the new No. 4 tunnel of the Granby mines, the portal bf which is at the back door of the Pioneer block. - Owing to the inability of the smelters to handle all of the ore offered, the management of the Athelstan, in Wellington camp, reduced the force considerably tbis week. President Flumerfelt, of the International Coal &. Coke Co., after visiting the company's coal mines at Coleman, Alberta, was in the Boundary a few days last week. The work of the ballasting for the newly laid steel ou the Brooklyn an?i Stem winder spurs has been finally, completed.:"' A" local amateur photographer took some views of the improvement. , John C. Serafford, formerly superintendent of the B. C. mine in Summit camp, but who lately has been at the Mountain Lion, in Republic camp, is in charge of the work recently started at theRatbmulIen group. A 60-ton consignment o f Elmore con centrates from the Lc Roi No. 2 oil concentrator . has been sent to the Granby smelter for experimental purposes. The ratio of concentration in shipments to dale is eleven or twelve tonsofH-cr-ude-oreHto-the-ton-Of-coneen-, trates. . .. Ymir Mirror. There was a breakdown at the Wilcox tramway last week which neces-. sitated the suspension of work for a few days. One of the buckets slipped the cable arid broke. All is right again, and gold bricks will be forthcoming with due regularity. Mr. E. Hopper, director of the London & B. C. Goldfields, Ltd., who has been inspecting the Ymir mine, has left the camp, leaving Mr. G. H. Earnhardt in charge. Mr. Atwater severs his connection with the mine as manager, and leaves for the east on Monday next. ��� Pumping operations at the Dundee mine continue and it is expected that all the water will be out of the mine in a couple of days. Last night it had been pumped to the 200-foot level. As soon as the waier is out mining will be resumed, and before long regular shipments of ore will begin. Consulting engineer Gracey was up at the property the other day. -, - ; President Johnston of the B. C. Standard Mining Co. operating .the Hunter V property, was in camp during the week accompanied by Mr. Robertson of Winnipeg, a large stock- bolder in the company. They visited the mine and -inspected the works in operation and express themselves as thoroughly satisfied with the progress being made. The only delay to the shipping of pre is the tramway which as yet is not in running order. Every- On the Rhoderick Dhu, in Long Lake camp, one of Boundary's high grade properties that has been working steadily for several months iu a drift from a new shaft recently started, a ledge of $125 "was struck this week. Shipments from this property are expected to be started next week, the ore going to-' the Greenwood smelter. Tom McDotmel is in charge of the work. Boyle Bros., who have the contract for the diamond drilling at Uie Volcanic on the North Fork of Kettle river, which is being tested by Michigan capitalists, have got well along on the second 500 foot hole. Nothing is given out about the results of the drilling, but it is understood that good ore is being encountered, the cores being sampled at the Granby smelter. It must be very gratifying to thoughtful British Columbians to know that in the opinion of such a man as Byron E. Walker tbe finances of the Province have been placed on a sound basis by the present Government. The mere expression of such an opin-. ion by such a man cannot but have an enormous effect iu establishing the good name and credit of the* Province. True, such newspapers as the Daily News,; of this city, will do what they can to offset and minimize the good that may be done ; but we think the outside world will give greater heed on such a matter to Mr. Walker than.to the editorial columns of our' contemporary. It is rather curious that while discrediting ��� Mr.; Walker's ��� statement, the admission should be made that that gentleman "stands among; the few recognized authorities on finance in Canada." The inference is; that -while Mr. Walker is certainly a* great authority, the financial expert on the staff of the Daily News is still greater. The bald facts, however, are well known. The finances of the Province, under previous administrations, were run in a most, wasteful, extravagant manner; the result of a system of government which; necessitated" the introduction.of party lines in. the House. The present Government bas had to grapple -with a serious financial situation, and has done so in a manner to command the confidence ofsuch men as Byron E. Walker, and* with as little dissatisfaction to the taxpayers as could possibly be expected. - ��� L-ast Sunday's* Colonist contained another contribution from Hon. D. W. Higgins, entitled^'The Prima Donna." It is the story ot a celebrated operatic star, sibo.deserted.her .husband and daughter. in^LjOtidon^ and years afterwards",during a visit to Victoria discovered that" the latter was living there and married to a gentleman who held a position on the Governor's staff. It is strange coincidence that a celebrated actress who had separated from a husband and daughter in. Boston, many years ago, afterwards met her daughter in Victoria, but the latter never learned that the celebrated actress she was conversing with was her mother. * Mr, Higgins' story is one of the best he bas 3*et contributed to the Colonist. statement is either true or not true. If the people are being treated^in Euch a way. by some physicians why protect them. I fail to see why the medical profession enjoys such privileges as to be protected against criticisms, which they may justly deserve. Any other profession has to bear the light of day, and why not these gentlemen ? Physical Culture does not believe in medicine, but teaches people "to live properly, thereby avoiding the necessity of calling doctors, and there is a certain class of doctors who don't like it, naturally enough, I suppose. Now Mr. Flaneur, I know that the feeling is intense over this matter, and the thonsands of people who feel that they have been badly treated by having their liberty ruthlessly trampled on, have decided to use all their influence against the Government, and I know of many Grit voters who have sworn not to support the Government if this order is not reprimanded. . As for the book containing immoral pictures, it is absurd. It aims at tbe very highest standard of morality, and considers the works of the Creator objects of worship, not of scorn, as some-prudes would have them. Anything you can do to help us will receive the approval of thousands of readers." Shortly after the opening of the House, last Tuesday, Hon. Mr. Tatlow delivered the Budget speech. It was an able review of the financial situation, and expressed the belief that, as a result of the measures adopted, the Government would be able to meet all liabilities and enter on the coming financial year with a small balance in its favor. Rev. Henry aBaer, of Kaslo, has been appointed Archdeacon of the new diocese of Kootenay. This will-beHHple"asinAnewsHtOHRev.-Mr^-Beer-s-many-friends^ in Eastern Canada and British Columbia. If we mistake not the new' Archdeacon was born in the Bermudas, and spent his boyhood days on the rock of Gibraltar. He came to Canada before he was twentj* years of age and for several years taught school in Ontario. Afterwards he studied for the ministry, and has been engaged in church work, not only in Canada, but in several .States in the Union. The EcoNoanST extends its heartiest congratulations to Rev. Henry Beer on his appointment. SLOCAN MIMING NOTES. aiociin Drill. Sandon mines last week shippid 110 tons of ore. '"'" The new tram at the Idaho is in rtuiniug shape. The Idaho is otic of the foremost, shippers iu the camp. Shipments from the upper Slocan are starting out belter this year thaii- in 1903. . - ..- A ' A couple of men were in lust week and took a look at the Chapleau, with a v iew to leasing it. Some little.time ago, we called attention to the ex elusion from the Canadian mails ofthe Physical Cul ture magazine, deprecating such exclusion. "Flaneur" in the Toronto Mail and Empire of last Saturday, inserts; the following letter, from a correspondent regarding this exclusion,and the views therein expressed will, we think, be endorsed by many of our readers : "Anti-Fat," Gait, writes:��� *'* ' . "Dear Flaneur,���Will you be so kind as to give a few lines to an old offender. .1 might remark incidentally that I am still thriving on my vegetarian diet; and have made lots of converts. What is worrying not only me, b ut would you believe it thousands of others just at present, is the action ofthe Government in the stopping the sale of Physical Culture. .This magazine is the greatest advocate of morality and temperance that there is; and gives a vast amount of information and hygenic instruction, and its sale bas been suddenly stopped, owing, to, as is claimed, a libelous article on some Toronto doctors. I admit, as do most Canadi'iu readers, that it was a bit of bad judgment to publish this letter, but if the assertions are true they should be known and if not they should be fittingly retracted.. If a phj-sician attends a confinement in a beastly condition arid then iokes about it he should be well shown up, not protected. This The Conservatives of Yale-Cariboo have selected M. Burrill, of Grand Forks, as their standard-bearer. Mr. Burrill is peculiarly qualified for a seat in the .Hpuse, and with his, extensive..acquaintance and popularity should defearMr. Ross, the I/iberal nominee. The Presbyterian Home Missions of British Columbia have been enriched to the extent of $500, by a bequest of the late John Cameron, of Iroquois village, Ont. Of course it is well to get the $500, but the peculiarly perveise spirit of our heathen out here gives rise to the suspicion that it will take more than that amount to make one convert. Mrs. W. J. Wilson and Mrs. Bruce White held a pleasant at home Thursday afternoon atthe beautiful "fiomeof Mrs7" Wilson ~oh~^Vernon^tr^tA^ThTrooms were artistically decorated for the occasion, and Mrs. White, accompanied by Mrs. R. W. Hannington on the piano, delighted the guests with selections on the violin. "What Happened to Jones" is the next attraction at the Nelson Opera House, appearing here on the evening of the 12th of February. Rev. J.T.Ferguson, M. A., of Cupar-Fife, Scot- laud, has been tendered a unanimous call to St. Paul's Presbyterian church, Nelson. Mr. Ferguson stands high as a scholar and pulpit orator, and the Presbyterians of this city are to be congratulated on having secured as their pastor a. gentleman of his brilliant attainments. L P, ocal and JL rovincial The drill ball at Kaslo -will be taken | over Monday evening. Tbe Canadian Pacific Railway has placed the steamer Beatrice on the run from Victoria to Seattle, Dr. P. A.

Nichols and H, Cook, both well' known divers of Esquimau, state that if the Clallam can be located they will undertake to go down and investigate the wreck. . Under the management of John Grant the Club Hotel is regaining its old-time popularity. Mr. Grant has had the house thoroughly overhauled, and intends to to still further improve it in the future. " Truth," the latest contribution to Victoria journalism, made its debut last week. It is a four-page weekly paper, published by Mr. D. R. Bogle, aud deals principally with matters of local interest. Municipal and political questions, as well as general city news, receive prominent attention in the initial issue. The annual banquet of the Kamloops pioneer and Benevolent Society has been discontinued for the past seven years, but the members have not by reason"efthls,'lo8t tta'art-of-enter- taining. Last week some forty of the m embers and their guests met in tbe good old way to discuss the good things provided by mine host Barnhart of the Grand Pacific and to finish out an enjoyable cveniDg with song, speech and story. There seems to be no doubt now but that a cattle-buyer in the Armstrong district has done-up the farmers for about 13,000, and no matter how sore they feel, they have to admit that his work was, in some respects, anything but coarse. He and his agents started out from different pointsjand made7 for Greenwood. On their way they would buv anything that could walk and for payment would give cheques on a bank in Greenwood. This was done at the holiday time. All the cat tie, sheep and hogs purchased were driven, and no time was lost, to Greenwood, and sold to the cattle buyers there, <and as it happened the stock arrived in that town before the cheques. When they did come they weremaiked ������ no funds," and the maker of them did not seem to be around. It Is reported that Mr. E. L. Drni^, M. P. P. of Victorra, is slated for the position at that port made vacant by the death on Sunday of Collector ��f Customs Milne. It is said that the delay in commencing work on the improvement of the North Thompson river is owing to the absence of the resident engineer, "Mr. Keefer, on the west coast of Vancouver Island. *' Wonderful. 1 Wonderful! Wonderful F'exclaimed Manager Seamans "or the Olympia Opera company last Saturday. The reason for Mr. Seaman's LJrprise was the fact tbat an opera company could play every night In a . city tbe size of Nelson and draw good houses all the time. He said tbat in his many years' experience in theatrical management, he had never struck as good a shew town as Nelson tn' comparison to its size. He was also - somewhat surprised to learn that in Nelson we have the best amatuer operatic organization west of Toronto. 1 Evidence of the substantial growth and progress of Revelstoke is evident on all hands, but one of tbe best evidences is the fact tbat during the ���past year over 8,000 tickets were sold at the Revelstoke office of the C. P. R.,, and tbe revenue taken at the' city station alone showed an increase of - ���pyer. .60. percent... A sabetaniialfaemaaB Is also evident in freight boslnear, and t he Revelstoke freight office is oner; of the most busy railway points in the Province. The Dominion Express Company's business doubled'"-"darin^'- this year. ' The school attendance r doubled within the past two years. The officers, non-commissioned officers and men of No. 2 company, Rocky Mountain Rangers, entertained their friends to the number of nearly 300 at the opening ��f the drill hall last evening. Tho guest of the evening was Col. Holmes, D. O. C Mrs. Mac- donell received the guests, aud tbe first number ou the programme wa8 led by Col. Holmes, D. O. C, and Mrs. H. E. Macdonell, and Capt. Macdoncll and Mrs. John Hamilton. The building was tastefully decorated, 1$ ritish and Canadian flags being very freely used. The committees who bad charge are to be congratulated on the success of tlio opening, particularly the Invitation aid decoration committees, whose work, to Bay the - least, was very arduous. Messrs. Choquette Bros. supplied the refreshments. B otindary VJre v3 hipments Poor old Bill Herring is no more. Bill left here a few years ago for the Provincial Home at Kamloops, and lingered on till last Sunday, when he died at the age of 64 years. Bill was well kn own in every city and town in British Columbia, having resided in this Province since the early sixties. He was born in Pennsylvania, and reached San I Francisco when the gold excitement was its height. He was famous as a newsboy iu the Bay City, and afterwards came to British Columbia. He was in the Cariboo rush, and for years followed steainboating. Bill was a gook type of the early pioneer,] free with his money when he had it, and his death will be regretted by all the old-timers. Rev.

Creston, D -c. 15lh.l903. Wti.^mng a- 'inougnt. .'��� frofessor "\V. &. Ar.dcisoa of YAw. Ufii- versity lately succeeded in practically :weighing the result of a thought's actio:1.. A student vri*.spU\.ecd on a "niuscle-bcd," poised ocn a *. balance so that the center of gravity o^ his body was exactly over its center. When he was set to solving lnatiieniati- ��� cal. problems, the increased weight of blood at his head changed his center oJ .-/gravity and tiuised an immediate dip ol Jthe balance to that side. Repeating th<! '��� in ul tip'licat ion table ^ of 'nine's ' caused grc'iter^displaccinaat. than repeating the tahleiof lives, and, iii general,"that,dis- phicementigrew greater with greater intensity of. thought.. Carrying the experi- nci>L further, the p\peiinic*��tor had the it>:dcnt imagine himself going through leg gymnastics. As he pciformed the feats mentally, one by one, the blood lloued to the limbs iu suflicicnt quantities to tip the balance according to the movement thought of. By purely mental action the center of gra\ity of the body was shifted four inches, or as much a.-, by lading the doubled arms alowc the shouldcio. 'ihese expciiments Vverc lepealed on a large nu-nber of stu dents, \uth the sime resulti. 'lo test still further thejnastciing in- 'luonce of ni.nd over muscle, the strength of the light and the le[t~aims of clc\en joung men was regi-stered. The aveiage stiength of the right aims s\.is one hr.n drcd and eleven pounds; of the left arms, ninety-seven pounds. The men practised special exercises with the right hand only for one week. Tests of both arms were again made, and, while the average strength of the right arm had increased jgfcpotindgi^-th.at.'_of Jhe^jincxerciscd left arm had increased seven pounds. This" showed dearly that the brain action connected :with the ' gymnastics developed not only the muscles put in action, but also other muscles controlled by the same portion of the brain. This could only come about by sending blood and nervous force to the proper parts by purely mental action. Professor Ander son says of the results: '.-.-' "I cari prove by my aiuscle-bcd that the important thing in all exercises is the mental effort put forth, f can lie down on this muscle-bed and think of o jig, and though apparently my feet do not move, and actually the muscles are not active, the muscle-hcd sinks toward my.feet, showing thnt there has been p flow of blood toward the muscles, and 3that, if I did dance a jig, the muscles would be well supplied with blood under this mental stimulus."���J.

Like mnny Frenchmen, especially tlios. ���jailing from the south of France, President Loubct is very fond of those national dishes in which garlic forms an important ingredient. Oaoc, in his lawyui days, when he was pleading in court after/having partaken of sonic sueh dish, his democratic tastes in this respect placed him in a somewhat embarrassin" position. The presiding judge happened to he a man of aristocratic origin ar.d breeding, to whom the odor of garlic was absolutely intolerable. 31. Loubct rose and began hi'3 argument. He had not proceeded very far when the judge was observed to sniff rather uncomfortably and to take out a perfumed handkerchief, reinforcing it a few moments later with a smelling-bottle. These measures, however, proved.of no avail as a protection from the pungent, and penetrating effluvium which emanated from tho future President of the .republic. At last, his olfactory sense vising in open rebellion, tha-indignant judge shouted: "Usher, open the windows; open the doors. For heaven's sake, let cut this abominable smell!" Since then M.
