Eastern manufacturers are fast, so it is reported, becoming binietallista, finding tbe remunerative regulation of their factories difficult, if not impossible, under tbe present coinage standard. It is slated that ore in South Africa rarely exceeds the very average valuation of $9 pur ton. Millions of tons of such ore exist un this continent, and will some day claim lbe same amount of iiltlciilinn as is being puid at present to African ores, The Mining Institute of Ontario held its quarterly meeting about a week ago, Tlie meeting was also the occasion for the formal opening of the first iiiiii only Mining Laboratory in Canada, and which, wo learn, is most handsomely equipped. Mine owners at Three Fonts have reason to congratulate themselves upon the recent delay of railway transportation from that place. For meantime the price of silver has risen, hence an additional gain to them of at least $5 per ton on their ore. The Cariboo Gold Fields, Limited, Ib the title of a company with head offices in England, and a capital of £100,000, that has just been formed to carry into effect the agreement made on the 21st of November last between the Whit- tier Gold Concessions, Ltd., and Mr. William Wigzell Ellwood. A large party of gold miners will, next May, leave Buffalo for British Columbia, where they will engage in mining on the Fraser river on an extensive scale. Each man in the party contributes $760 to a general fund devoted to the purchase of machinery, which will be obtained In Toronto. Mr. Ledford's process of precipitating copper from the water from the Anaconda mines, is proving a grand success as well as a profitable one. He uses on an average of three carloads of old iron, cans and scrape every month. Tbe copper produced is almost pure and his system a simple and ingenious one. Tlie Montreal Hydraulic Gold Mining Company, of Cariboo, Ltd., is the name adopted by a new mining corporation, with a capital of $250,000, that has been form-ill to take over the mineral properties, claims, 011(1 business of the Montreal and British Columbia Prospecting and Promoting Company, Ltd, Cariboo being the chief scene of operations. The head offices of the new company are to be nt Vancouver. The Finch Mining and Dredging Co., at Lytton, is paying to shareholders a vety fair dividend. The published report of last week states the amount of gold obtained as 50) ounces, valued at $1101), while the expenses amounted in all to $125, thus leaving a profit of over $700. The company are using a 6-inch centrifugal pump and only one sluice box, consequently the working day consists only of seven to eight hours. A muchly ornamented document was received a short time ago by Mr. Recorder Sproat, being a deed of conveyance of a quarter interest in the Alpha and Black Bern- mineral claims at Four Mile. On the document are the seals and signatures of the United States Secretary of State, and also of the Attorney-General, besides those of many notaries public; while, lays the Ledge, hanging therefrom are sufficient variegated ribbons to stock a milliner's shop. The Northwest Mining Review, in an article, " Where to Prospect," after citing the many thousands of square miles of unprospected territory in Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Washington, has this lo any about some portions of British Columbia that have not yet received the attention that they deserve at tlie hands of the prospector: 'All that portion of British Columbia which lies directly north of the liound* ury line from the Rocky mountains on the east to the Columbia river on the west, and north to near Fort Steele and Nelson may be said to be mineral bearing, though except in Isolated sections—In the vicinity of Fort Steele, Toad mountain and Salmon river—has liot been carefully prospected. This section contains nu area of something like 5,0(10 square miles of nejv territory. To the westward of Trail creek, as far as the Boundary Creek district, there and northward to the C, P, R, is another licit of favorable prospecting ground containing an area of 11,(100 square miles. Again from Camp Fair- view on the Okanagan river to the summit of the Cascades on the west, and nprthward to the Fraser river, is a district, at least half of which may be said tu be a mineral country yet practically unexplored. This district and that portion of the province west of the Cascade summit of a mineral character and remaining to be prospected, has a total area of not less than 7,000 or 8,000 square miles, Cluim Juinpliur. We are pleased to relate the fact that so far this district is free from that class of individual knows as the professional claim jumper, and we trust the advent nf his coming may he in the dim and distant future. This pernicious practice has heen carried on for some time past in the Kootenays, and more recently nt Trail creek, and has occasioned aud is occasioning a great deal of unpleasant feeling, besides putting the original owners to a vast amount of unnecessary expense and trouble. Perhaps the most feas- able prevention to the practice is the proper staking uut of mineral claims, and afterwards a minute compliance with the law relating to the management of the same by those holding them. With a view to assist purlin not thoroughly convenui with the requirement* of the law relating to the taking up of a mineral claim, we give the following rules, taken from the Rossland Miner: 1. Find the mineral in place, 2. Place a discoveiy post where mineral has heen found and write "— mineral claim, Discovery post," 3. Determine as nearly as possible the direction of the vein. 4. Place a post on the line of the vein where you wish your claim to start from and see that the following information is on it: (a) "Initial Post j" "No, 1 Post." (I>) Approximate compass bearing ol No. 2 Post. (c) Number nf feet claimed to right and to left of line from No. 1 to No. 2 post. (d) Name of the claim, (e) Name of the locator, (f) Date of the locution, 5. Blaze a line for 1,500 feet, as nearly as possible on line of the vein. If the countiy is open set poslsalong the line, (1. At the end af I his line set a post and write on it: (a) "No. 2 Post," (li) Nairn* of cluim. (c) Name nf locator. (d) Date of location, 7. Never move your own, or anyone else's posts, no matter when, where or why set. 9. Make your posts at least four Inches square, and square them for at least two feet from the top. 0, When recording furnish the Re* corder with all the particulars to be put on Die No. 1, Post, and in addition the number of the locator's mining certificate, or, if more than one, of each of the locators, [N.B.—All writings should bo Inscribed on postt with a common lead pencil.] . ,4 " New Papers In the Northwest." The Montana Mining and Market Reporter, in the issue of the 30th ult., contains Ihe folio-wing complimentary notice anent, the latest additions to journalistic enterprise in the souther ri interior of British Columbia, The kindly recognition may be received as an indication that the outside world can justly estimate the many difficulties under which those who are responsible for tbe following publications labor. "During the past two yearn some excellent nuwspapers have been started in the northwest country. Most of them are in camps over the British line, where tbey have full news swing from their respective mining localities and are taking advantage of it. They all show the necessary enterprise in advertising the natural resources of that now prosperous and growing country. "The Midway Advance- is published not far from the line, and in close pro*, imity tn the new district known u Boundary creek. In spite of the Inaccessibility of the oountry and no rail. road to travel over, the Advanci in not slow in getting all the mining news in its district, The paper is published hy Stuart k Norris. " The Rossland Miner, published at Rossland, in the centre of Trail creek district, is another new exchange that is welcomed to the Reporter office. It is a newsy mining paper and does not, overlook an opportunity to say many good and truthful things alsiut Ulli new and rich mining locality in Brit, ish Columbia, "The Slocan Prospector, published at Three Forks, If. ('., comes to iii this week with an eight-page supplement, giving a full and complete description uf the mines of that locality. This paper states that 000 tons of ore valued at (800,000 has been shipped from that camp in four and one-half months. The Prospector is published by D, W, Pratt." in . An International ^Postage Stamp, Negotiations have been opened hy the German Government with Ihe other members nf the International Postal Union relative to the issue of an International postage stamp, Ac, cording tn a consular report received by the State Department from Ghent it appears that almost all the countries concerned except the United States, have, at least in principle, agreed to the project. An official conference nf the powers interested will soon he called to discuss the details of the scheme, Among the advantages ex- pooled from such a postage stamp are the facility with wblch small hills and accounts In foreign countries could lie settled, and that postage fnr reply could always lie inclosed when Intor* million from abroad was sought, THE ADVANCE.

Wail-en. a settler of two years' ptK'iilliig residing in the Salmon rjver district, writes to the Vancouver News- idverliser a letter on the subject of the present condition and the fiituie prospect* of the agricultural settlers in jlritish Cnbimhia. .-The writer evidently takes a most gloomy view (if the sitnation; and be jloes not heajtati; toexpresjj |]is opinion that thfl ' lujricilltllVlll 3ptt|er, as the rt-pff,§(i|it!itivo qf a class. •» un the :viW at nbi.iibiU ruin* - ■Itpt^flp), lm denied that tbe settler, .■iii:li.:iiliii-ly in the interior, has suffered, perhaps more than any class, during the period marked throughout the world us a time of commercial and financial depression, lint and this is llie important point at issue—why is thiKthjjfjrje? WhjMhoilM a class of men, presumably hardy and energetic Whose mode of life precludes the idea pf heavy living expenditure, be, above all others, affected adversely by outside commercial influences. Col, WWWp, answers the question by ascribing the unfurturiale slain of affairs to the (what he calls) prohibit* (Iry freight rates charged by the C.P.R. While allowing that the railway company's charges admit of radical reductions, we cannot agree witli t^e colonel in his conclusion, that it is the exhorbi- lancy of \\\i flight charges that the oho" times among settlers is attributable. " We are rather more inclined to think that the settler Wmself is responsible, in gi-e.it part, for his p*,yn inipecuiiios- ity. It will he time when 'tlie, local market is rcpleted willi local produce jn demand a reduction in the. pricu of carriage pf guch, produce to a more distant market. It is an authenticated fact that much the greater proportion pf such articles of constitution us fggs, butter, cheese, lard, bacon, and even poultry are imported into tbe country from Ontario. Now, ns long as tji^s stlrlf. 'if Hff^lP >s W,!«ib.li', tbe British, Columbian farmer luis neither right nor reason on his side to de- tiounce either the policy of the C.P.R., pr to bemoan the " terrible depression " jis causes nf his imppv('i'U|imtint. It hju bee-t tH'guwl with some truth, u|win the futility of producing agricultural commodities, with the exception nf wheat and perhaps hay, for the reason that the local storekeeper In* variably refused to make 11 cnsli pay* (limit, offering, however, In take the value out In "trade."

Mr. Stuart's absence wjll -((il affect Ihe publication of the Advance, as the editorial and business management will, in the future, us in lbe pasl, be looked after by his co-paiiimi', Mr. W. II.

Ibey have in the prosperity of the company, lie considered should be sufficient to Impel thein to work without further remuneration. The resolution also suggested the advisability of reducing working expenses to 50 per cent uf the gross eiirniugs. Tlin resolution wus not entertained,. Tbe summary of the O. P.

Donald & Sutherland. Mr. Gallagher, of Grand Prairie, who ^celebrated St. Patrick's Day in a very fiery way, has contributed $25 towards the new smithy to lie erected by Mr, Dan McLaren. Mr. Boss has three tents out at Cupper camp and six men at work, They Jiave repaired the road, corduroying •the bad places, and maije a very pass- jabln connection between (he camp and the outside world. Mr. H. P. Palmerston has sold part nf Ins interest in Die townsite of Slid' way and has given up ths agency, Mr. W. H. Norris, of Midway, will act as agent for the townsite for the present, under tho direction of Cupt, Robert 0. Adams, of Montreal, trustee of the property. In Midway men are dyeing andbeing 4yed, At least so says one of the Grand Prairie buys (Charley). The dyeing was performed by our local ton- sorial artist, nnd t he dyed was none other than Charley himself—and it coat the boys $:l for tlie fun of tvalrhjng Dip performanco, County Court, advertised to be held on Saturday last, was postponed, presumably, until to-day (Slonday) owing to the unaccountable non-arrival of Judge Spiuks. There is some report, however, that his worship failed to .catch Monday last's boat from Okanagan Lauding. Messrs. Wolf and C. E. Stuart, the parties who were recently patients at the hospital, under Dr. Jakes' pare, Hie one suffering from pleurisy and the other typliu-pneuiiiiiniii, are now sufficiently recovered to be able to take out-door exercise. This will be glad pews lo their many friends. Mr. It. Cawston, of Keremeos, passed through Midway on Friday last on his way to Grand Prairie. It is understood he went to meet Sir. Wilson, fine of the Kootenay butchers, with Jhe object nf disposing of beef stock. There is evidence that the cattle business may look up a bit this summer. Seeding is well advanced. Messrs. Cartmell k Sinister, who have for pome time past been putting in Mr. Sic* Donircll's crop, completed their won*, a few days ago. They have the honor of jheing the lirst to get through with seeding on Kettle river this spring, Yet it imiy be considered none too early for (this part of the country. Our population is not so numerous that we can afford to lose any pf its feminine members, It is, (therefore, with -egret we note the departure on Tuesday's stage of Miss Sic* Clung for Spokane, where she has gone on a visit to her relatives, with the probability that she may not return, This young lady whilst a resident of Midway made many friends, by whom licr absence will be much felt. Gunnysack Jones, an old pioneer, is clearing and cropping a large portion of his ranch on Fisherman creek, some six miles above Grand Forks, He has already commenced a barn 20x30 feet. This ranch is by some considered as a prospective townsite. At all events, whon the 820 acres belonging to Mr. Jones is all cleared, as a ranch it is (sure to hold its own. Fisherman creek flows right through its meadow. Messrs. Lynch and Heldstab started on Thursday morning for the cedar swamp which is some 70 miles up the west fork of Kettle river. They intend putting logs, which will lie put into the river and run down to Midway, at pihich place they will be manufactured into shingles. The price of this article here is $5 to $6 per thousand, so that j.he business should be a lucrative one, filthough the getting uf the timber will ie expensive work, Mr. J. McNicol, our enterprising local merchant, left on Tuesday's stage for Spokane, it is his intention to coin- bine liusiness with pleasure, and on his trip purchase a I'liantity of goods pocessary for carrying on a successful summer trade. The conservative policy of our Victoria and Vancouver merchants, and-thf prohibitive freight rates charged by the C. P. R. may be held accountable for this gentleman's journeying to the south-east, instead of to the north-west, And who gains liy this and who loses? Sir. Tcdrow, uf Aniii'chist mountain, paid a flying visit to Slidway on Wednesday Iinl, his object being to obtain lumber for the completing of his stables and nuthouses, This was Sir. Tedi-niv's Hist visit. In Midway ami he . was very agreeably surprised wilh its sisuation and the number of liuildingii ■ on our townsite. The rancher lu many countries could not Hell afford, tit haul lumber a distance of 40 miles lo his home, and the fact that a line belt of timber exists on Aimri-hjsl Mountain is also the more reason why this haul should lie unnecessary. Can no one |ie found with capital and energy enough to start the lumber industry in that thriving settlement, — 4+4 MINING NOTES. Messrs. William Shaw and Alex. Sherrette left Midway on Friday last pn a prospecting tour of Boundary piountuin, expecting to lie absent for two months. Mr, J. McNicol recorded the Hecla, an eastern extension of the Great Hesper, on April 6. There is a four- foot vein, and the quartz is well min-* praliaed. We hopo it will not be long ere the Hecla is in eruption, and, a golden lava flowing into its (|wj|)|ty| pockets, Sir. Win. Lewis, of Vernon, starts shortly on a prospecting tour up Kettle river, some twenty miles above Rock creek, A trail is being constructed under the direction of Mr. Smith between Summit and Greenwood camps. The paw trail is beinjf.built around the base of the mountain on easy grades, and |s meant to take the place of the old one over llie summit, A few days slnco Mr* W. T. Smith came down from Summit I'ltmp and brought a sample of ore that those con.- yersant with the ores of the two districts claim was identical In appearance to that found at Trail creek. Whether it assays the same remains to be proven. Capt. Adams is sending Robert Cor- dick and John Sleekier, from Perth, Ontario, to West Kootenay, to superintend the development of the silver properties in which he is interested. They will work first at the Slonnt Adams group, on the "Four Mile Range," in the Slocan district, Briar creek is the name given to the new camp, situated between the Providence and Siimmitcamps, by the discoverers of the Big Windy mineral claim, Messrs, Thouiet, Benrieruian and Peterson, who recorded the Big Windy on April 6. There is a 3J foot vein, which shows quite an amount of native copper. There was an opportun ity fop the discoverers to name the new camp after one or other of their names, but modesty, not necessity, was the mother of an invention in this case, and the creek has been well named, Capt. R. C. Adams, of Slontreal, is sending out his son, Walter C. Adams, B. A. Se„ to Midway, to attend to his mining interests at Boundary and Osoyoos. He desires to let a contract to sink a shaft on the Cordick claim in Summit camp, and he proposes to have the claim surveyed and patented, Mr. Walter Adams is a graduate of SIcGill college, Montreal, in both the departments of chemistry and mining engineering, and may be available during the summer to make reports on mining properties. PAIRVIEW NOTES. (From our own correspondent.) Fairview, April 8,—The claim near the Victoria, and formerly known as tlie Jumbo, has been re-located by Messrs. James White and G* A. Guess. Since locating the same Sir. Guess has made a thorough test of the ore, and the result is so satisfactory that these gentlemen have signified their intention of taking the Strathyre Company's mill on lease (on the expiration of the present nnp) and working the miue. They have also located another claim, which they call the Enterprise, from wliicl) ore will also he milled. A peciiljai-jty pf the ore from the Jumbo is that iu the rock that looks barren, and in which no mineral can be seen, Ihe same runs over seven dollars in free gold. Other portions of the ore contain silver enough to pay all milling expenses, which will be extracted at limp of crushing by the sodium process. Sjr. C, A, R. Lanibly a few days since went up to Vasseaux lake, taking with him Sir, Cuppage, tlie late manager of the Haynes estate, who, it is understood, will be put in charge of the proposed work of gravelling and raising that portion of the road around the rock bluff, which for some time past lias caused some inconvenience to teams having to pass over it, ■ ,-.4 PROVINCIAL NEWS. Some 70,000 tons of coal were shipped from Naniiiino last month. A Sir. Huff is to dispute the Cow- ichan-Alberni seat in the Provincial Legislature with Sir.

The sum of $5,000 set aside hy the Vancouver city council to lie devoted to provide work for the unemployed, has been exhausted, Still relief wink is necessary, and $1,000 additional, hns been placed to the fund. In the region of the Naas river a tribal war Is In progress: among lbe Indians. The local tribe claim the sole ti'i-riliiri||l rights iu the region of the Nuns, and lis tributary striuiiiis. This claim was not allowed by the Indians of the outlying count ry, Mr. Todi| hastened to I he scene of war, but he was iiii exception lo Ihe general rule iu regard to peacemakers, For the warlike tribesmen, innli|i|ff i-omnion cause, and Waiving foi' I lie nonce their differences, promptly ('sat. upon" the unfortunate iigc.nl, who, when ho was able, left wj| h a greater show of speed than was compatible with the dignity of office, {fo serious daiiuign has as yet been Sustained by either side, iMessfs. Robert Ward k Co., Ltd., who a fe\Y weuksngo had a ship-builder named, John Clark imprisoned for a debt (jne to tliem which lie could not pay, yesterday continued the civil aet|on against Clark and his partner Hannignn for $8,000 odd, The defence raised the unique point that hy seizing (lie person of the debtor plaintiffs had t;iken the last recourse of law, and all liabilities on defendant's part \\iu\ thereby \yeen. discharged., The Court held the point well tak'm and ordered Clark's release purgwi of ull response bility for the delif, The ease is without precedent )n Canadian Courts and excites an unqsifal amouut of attention. At the Last Chance mineral claim the proprietors are carrying out exten, sive improvements by building dwell, ing houses and a cook house for the men, and making other necessary ar- raiigcinuiits preparatory to taking out ore. They have at present six men at work, and as soon as accommodation is provided more are likely to be put on. Any company manifesting a suli cittide for the comfort of their em ployees, deserves to be commended, as In this country, at least, this is about thu hist thing that is considered. (aiiniilu's Porest Wealth. The report on the forest wealth of the Dominion just issued makes tlie statement that in Camilla, iu the various industries depending for their existence upon the supply of wood, there is invested capital amounting to nearly $100,000,000, thu annual wage list lieing over $30,000,000, with nn output valued aldose upon $110,000,000. From the mass of cited data the conclusion is drawn that Canada is now within a measurable distance of the lime when, with the exception of spruce as to wood, and of British Columbia as lo provinces, it shall cease to be a wood exporting country. Further, the immense forests of Norway, from whence the old world has drawn so large a supply of pine and fir timber, nre beginning to show the signs of reckless felling; so much so that it will shortly be Imperative that exportation from thence shall cease for a time. Meanwhile the market will be supplied with the unequalled lumber of British Columbia and Washington. 1****** Free Silver lu England., London, April 5,—The Bimetallic league has decided to raise a guaranty fund of £100,000 to be devoted to the propagation of the bi-tnetallic movement, Fifty thousand pounds has already been subscribed. To the Electors of Yale-Cariboo: GENTLEMEN :- In responses to tho widely expressed deslro of representative men in various parts of your District I have decided to come forward as a candidate at tlie forthcoming elections, in opposition to the present Government. As this is such an enormous district I am, of course, personally unknown to a large number of you; but I may state that I havo large interests at and around Ducks and Kamloops, and am very desirous, for your welfare and mine, to see this Province progress more than it has dono for tho last few years, I am opposed to the policy of protection which has been pursued for the last sixteen years, as being unfitted to tho requirements of the country, and benefitting the fow at the oxpensoof the many. I join in the condemnation ot the corrupt manner in which the administration of the affairs of this country has been curried on during the time that the present party hm bpc'n iu office. I consider :— 1. That a customs tariff, if imposed nt all. should only he for the purpose of raising a revenue, not for the purpose of prolci'-tJQJi j 2. That freer trade relations, tvith Great Britain and tho United Sttitej would immediately benefit this country: 3. That under existing circrni^tances and the peculiar nature of the country njining machinery should be allowed lo come in free of duty: 4. That the natural resources of the country should bo the first tq ho developed: 5. That In order tn aceopiplicih this end the country should bo opened up, tlie rivers made navigable, ai]d jncpcased facilities for communication ,\\\A ti'iuisjiin-lutiuu afforded: 6. That the mail and other contrnnt? let by the Government should bo put tip to public tender: 7. Tlmt tho strictest economy should ho observed m tho administration of the public service, and all unnecessary expenditure should bo stopped: 8. That all complaints in regard to the disposal of government lauds and issuing of titles should be inquired into and any grievances redressed, and the surveys in tho railway belt completed as quickly as possible. As this district comprises so large an extent of country it will bo impossible for me to visit every polling division and become acquainted with the the electors, but I shall make a point of visiting as many as possible and ho.ding meetings ror tho purpose of placing ray views on public matters before you, and learning from you the local requirements of each district. I havo no objects of my own to scr\'& by asking yuii to support me, but I have time thai I can give to promote the interests of this District, tho Provinco, and the Dominion, and I shall devote it to that purpose. For these reasons I ask your support at the approaching Dominion Elections, and trust you will seo fit to give it to inc. Yours faithfully, HEWITT BCSTOCK. Kaulooi'9, 28th February, 1895. LIBERAL PLATFORM Adopted liy the National ion. OTTAWA, JUNE, 1893. We, tlie Liberal party of Canada, in convention assembled, declare: 1.-Freer Trade-Reduced Taxation. That the customs tarlif of tho Dominion should bo based, not as it is now, upon tho pro, i ed i vi! principle, but upon tho requirements of tho public service; That tho existing tariff, founded upon an un*. sound principle, and used, as it has been by the Government, as a corrupting agency whorow^h to keep themselves In ulliee, has develop monopolies, trusts and combinatious; It has decreased tho valuo of farm and other landed property; It has oppressed tho masses to the enrichment: of a fow; It has checked immigration; It has caused a great loss of population; I has impeded commerce; It has discriminated against Great Hritain. In these and in many other ways it has ocea. sloned great public and private injury, all ot which evils must continue to grow in intensity as long as the present tariff system remains in, force, That- tho highest interests of Canada demand a removal of this obstacle to our country's pro-. gross liy the adoption uf a soiwjd fiscal polity, which, while nol doing injustice to any e|a>, wiil promote domestic anti foreign trade, anil hasten the return of progpomy po our people ; That to that end tbe tijrilf should be reduced to the nceedsof honest) e/:<jrjij/j-jr.il and elHcient government; That it should be no adjusted .as to make free, or to bear as lightly as oossjblj. gpon, the ncees- BUrieiof life, and should be so arranged as to promote freer trade with the whole world, more especially wjih Great Britain and the I'ni'c i States. Wp believe that the results of tlie protective system have grievously disappointed thousands of persons who honestly supported it, and that the country, In Ihe light ojf experience, is now prepared to declare for a sound fiscal policy. The issue between the twopuljtjcal parties on this question is now clearly defined', Tho Government tliunjsclvcs edipft the failure of their fiscal policy, and now profess their willingness to make wine obapgeji; but they say that such changes piust ha wjscd only on the principle of protection, We denounce the principle of protection as radically unsound, and unjust to the upases of the peuple, and we declare our cotiv|ction thai any tariff changes based on that principle must fail to atl'ord any sulkaptial relief \j) the burdens under whicli the country labors. This issue we utihcsitatint-'ly aeeenl, nnd upon it weawait with Ihe fullc-ii uonlldencc the verdict of the electors of Canada, 2, -Enlarged Markets - Heclproslty, Thai having regard to tiie prosperity of Citn- adaai|djhe I'nilyd states as adjoining coup- tries, with many mutual Interests, it is desirable ibal there should be Ihe mosl friendly relations and broad and liberal trade inter- uoursebctwuon thein; Thut the. Inlsrwis alike of the Dominion aj|d of Ihe Kit j pin; woi|l<| nu materially advanced hy llie establishing of such relations; That the period of Ihe old reciprocity treaty was one of marked prosperity to the British North American colonics; That the pretext under which the Government appealed lo ilie country in 1891 respecting negotiation fora treaty with the United State* was misleading and dishonest and intended to deceive the electorate; That no sincere effort has been made by them to obtain a treaty, but that, on the contrary, it is manifest that the meson t Government,con trolled as they are by monopolies and combines, arc pot desirous of securing such a treaty; That the first step lowirds obtaining the end iu view, is is to place a party iu power who aro sincerely desirous of promoting a treaty on terms honorable to both countries; That a fair and liberal reciprocity treat? would develop Ihe great natural resources of Canada, would enormously increase Ihe trade and commerce between the two countries, would tend lo encourage friendly relations between the two peoples, would remove many causes which have in tho post provoked irritation and trouble to llio governments of both countrfe*. and would promote those kjndly relations between Ihe Empire and the Republic which afford the best guarantee for peace and prosperity; That the Liberal party Is prepared to enter into negotiations wilh a view to obtaining such a treaty, Including a well considered list of manufactured articles, and wc are satisfied that any treaty so arranged will receive tho assent of Her Majesty's Government, without whoso approval no treaty can be made, 3.-Purlty of Administration-Condemn Corruption. That the Convention deplores the gross corruption in the management and expenditure of puhlic moneys which for years past lias existed under tlio rule of Ihe Conservative parly, and tho revelations of which by the different parliamentary committees of Inquiry have brought disgrace upon the fair name of Canada, The Government, which profited politically by these expenditures of public moneys, of whicli tho people of Canaan have been defrauded, and which, ncvcrthelcsH, have never punished the guilty parties, must be held rc- aponslblo for the wrongdoing. Wc arraign tlie Government for retaining in otllce a Aim Inter of the Crown proved lo have accented very large contributions of money for election purposes from the funds of a railway company, wliieli, while paying fhe political contributions to him, a member of Ihe Government, with one hand, was receiving Government subsidies with the other. Tbo conduct of tho Minister and the approval of his colleagues nfter (ho truth became known to them aro 'calculated to degrade Canada in the estimation of the world and deserve thi severe condemnation of the people. 4.- Demand Strictest Economy-Decr-oased Expenditure, We cannot but view with alarm M)fl 'tree, increase of the public debt and uf the controllable annual expenditure of the Dominion and tho consequent undue taxation of iho people under the Governments that have h(;en com tiiuiDiiiuy in powor Hinuo 1878, and we liymand tlio strictest economy in the administi^tjoii of the government of tne country. 5,-Responslble Government-Independence of Parliament. That the Convention regrets that by the action of Ministers and their supporters in Pap liament, in one ease in which serious charges were made against a Minister of the Crown, investigation was altogether refused, while In another case the charges preferred were altered and then referred to a commission appointed upon the advice of the Ministry, contrary lo tho well settled practice of Parliament; and this Convention affirms i that it is tho anciont and undoubted right of tho House of Commons to inquire into ah matters of public expenditure, and into all charges of misconduct in office against Ministers of lliu Crown, and the reference of such matters to royal commissions created upon the advice of tho accused is at variance with the due responsibility of Ministers of the House of Commons, and lends to weaken the authority of (hit House over tho Executive Government, and this Convention affirms thai the powers of the people's representatives in Ihis regard should on all fitting occasions be upheld, 6,-The Land for the Settler—Hot for the Speculator. That in the opinion of this Convention the sales of public lauds of the Domipion should he to actual settlers only, and not tu speculator^ upon reasonable terms of settlement, and in such areas as can bo reasonably occupied and mltivalcd by tho settler. 7,—Oppose the Dominion Franchise Act Favor the Provincial Franchise, That the Franchise Act since ilsinlroduelion has cost the Dominion Treasury over a mil ion of dollars. bosidOS entailing a heavy expenditure to both political parties; That each revision Involves an additional expcndil ure of a further quarter of a million: That this expenditure has prevented an annual revision, as origina ly tntciidedcd, in the absence of which young voters entitled to the franchise have, injiumefnus ln*-lances, been prevented from exercbipg their natural rights; That it has failed to secure uniformity, which was the principal retewn assigned for Its intro*. duction; That it has produced gross abuses by partisan, revising hamsters appointed by the" Government of tho day ; That Its provisions are less liberal than those already existing In many Provinces of Iho Do. minion, aiuvthat In tlio opinion of this Cnyeii- tion the Act |6pul(lbo ropbalwl and wo *huuM revert to t|ic fvov^nefal Franchise, 8.-Against the Gerrymander-County Boundaries Should be Preserved. Tlia.t hi' the Gerrymander A,\\\n. the electoral divistdjis'for Hit ^cluru o( members to the Houweof Commons, lyiyoln-'cn so made as io prevent a fair exprossldp of tho opinion of Ihe country at the general elections, and to secure to the party tiow Inpowor a Btrongth out of all iroportiou greater than Ihe number of electors luyWting'thoui would warrant. To put au eiyl'i'i ihi? ;imiH', to make the House of Coin- mon*a fair exponent of public opinion, and to w-cserve tho historic continuity of counties, it is desirable that in the formation of electoral divisions, county boundaries should bo preserved, and that in no case parts of different counties should be put In one electoral di \ i*-n>n. 9^-The Senate Defective Amejid. ^h.? Constitution,, Tbo present consliluiUiu of thi'. Hmuilc i. inconsistent with the Federal principle In our system of government, and is In other respects defective, as it makes the Senate inilepcnileiit of the people ahd uncontrolled by tho puhlic Qpfuym of the country, and should lie so ahici;d- en as to bring It inlo harmony with the principles of popular government, 10.—Question of Prohibition—A Dominion Plebiscite.

The following paper will lie rend 1 fore the Qntarjo Mining Institute liy Jtfr. Win. Hamilton Merrjft, F,G,B.,as> sociate Boya| Sehoql of Mjnca, ete. Our readers will remember that this gentleman \vi»8 |iist summer in charge pf the mining operations carried uu at pump Fairview liy the Strath.yrp Mining Co. Many of the following observations iti|d theories would apply equally Id the ores found in that camp, as to (hflse al Ontario: It may he s;,id in a general way that gold-'qearing quartz is found in many places frnrii t.||p pj*trei||e cast to the extreme west of the Immense Province of Qntnt'jn. It is being milled in three places | in one mill in the Marmora dis tl-k't, in aunt lii-riu the Snult Sle. Marie district, and in ,(third mill in the Lake pf the Woods district. Whether en- pugh ground had previously been ppened up and tested before creeling |,he mills I am not in a position to ptate. "Dame Rumor" hath it, however, that in aH t\\e$e cases the mills are hampered by nut having an ade quale supply of ore on account of the mines not having been previously ppened up. We may hope I hut this is pot correct. There have lieen, I much regret to say, qnly toq many cases in (iur Province where mills have been put pp previous Ui solving the important preliminary problems as to the real pharacterand the availahle extent of pay ore. One difficulty which met the Ontario developer WHS tjlftfc there was po testing plant in existence in Canada where he could, ha,vp H quantity of ore treated, and ho wa,s compelled to erect a plant himself to find out what he really had or send his qre to New York pr still further. That difficulty now po longer exists, for there is a small stamp mill and concentrating plant at the Kingston School of Mining where anyone can have a ton or more put through and the yield, in frgp gold, and concentrates determined, Now for a few words about the determination of the value of a gold ore. I allude to the value of the contents of fhe ore itself imtgid,? flf {he considerations of size qf vpjq, jts situation, cost pf mining, supplies, labor, etc, all of which have such an important hearing ppon the ultimate value of the ore. The ultimate value of Hie ore also largely depends upon the cost of treating it, and this should, be had in view from the start, espex-iajly |n the case of pur Ontario gold ores. As a rule most people take a piece of ore to an assayer and get a result to the ton of ore. Let ps say it is a gold ore, and suppose a return of $fi to the ton is given. They fhen calculate very easily that fllinpig will cost $3, npiliqg 81,60, ffitinage- pient, etc., 81; total oost 85*60, whicli j-lves a profit of $3.50 per ton. Then so many thousand tons treated give so pinny thousands of dollars' profit, as easily as one and qne make two. But through the abominable perversity of things in general, after working jtway for some time, the result does pot seem to come out us it sliniilil, and disheartened shareholders stay there is po gold and shut down tho mine and piill, CAUSES, OP PA1LUBE. There are many explanations why it has been a failure. Sfltne of them may he: (1) The dead work of opening the nine, putting up a mill and manage.- pient may have used up all the money (ind they are unable to cope with tho first diftjculty which presents itself, (2) The vein may have narrowed or pay-shoots be few and far between, therefore mining has come much |iigher than the price estimated. (3) No milling test had previously been made, and the run of the ore l-omcs far short of the hand samples assayed, a very poinmon cause of dis- |tsl.ei- (4) The free milling portion of the vein is only superficial, and it becomes infractor)* a very short distance below the surface, therefore the pulp will re- Ollire to he concentrated and the gold extracted by smelting or chlorination, which will considerably increase the post of production, This would have been discovered by first doing development work, and having some test runs piadu af t\\e ore from, (Jilfaretyt places. (6) Among a munla-i of i 'her causes (if failure lo get expected resul «, such (is overbuilding, extravagance., i,,'iiur.? Hiice, dishonesty, etc., I sl|i\l| merely |idd that the manner of crushing may pot be suitable to thu qre, and that, on (ine hand the gold may he slimed and pot caught, or thu size of the screen iiiul height of discharge, uiny allow 'he (ire to Ih( delivered before th,p values |iavu |inen liberated. Both uf these latter p'lntiiigencies are carefplly (•hocked hy the procedure uibiptetl at (he stamp mill al l he. School of Mining , (it- Kingston, and valuable suggestions ' ('An he. given in this connection when a a test run is made of the ure in tbe |nh(i,|-at(ii'Y. Although it is universally conceded that there is no test like a milling test (or 11 gold ore, yet sometimes it is either impossible or not necessary. An assay of a mere hand snpeimen is, jf not actually useless (ur practical purposes, to be, accepted only with the greatest caution, •in(' should inorely sampled down to get a fail* average for determination. HOW IT IB DONE. 4-t the School of Mining at Kingston special arrangpiiiiuits exist for sampling large lots, fhe ore is first put through the crusher, quartered down orr the shuet pun floor, then further reduced by being run two or three tj||ies through adjustable rolls and quartered after each reduction. Finally it is reduced to a powder by means of the sqrnple grinder, quartering pn oil cloth bejng again resorted to between each reduction by tlie grinder. The resulting sample taken is generally about seven pounds. From this ahout half a pound is quartered out- for lire assay, and the remainder is kept for panning und amalgamation assays, if these are needed. In the case of a new ore, whose qualities are unknown, the amalgamation and panning assays are of great Importance when a mill test is pot ma(]e of the ore. Coupled with these a tire assay qf the concentrates will, of course, be necessary. Where tbe character of the ore is known a fire assap of it is all that is necessary. In making a run of the ore it should be carefully sampled by lieing collected every hour from the feeder, so that, a check is kept on the result of the mill. The tailings, however, give even a more valuable check, and in tests of ore Ut the Mining Laboratory nt Kingston they are caught every half hour. An the slimes from the tailings are evaporated nothing is allowed to escape examination. With reference to sampling a vein or ledge for testing, I shall rnprely make one spggestion. Where the sampling is not on a lip-ge scale, say such as testing the face of a drift being c(i-iy(gn on the vein, it is sometimes thought, that tho drillings give the best average. My experience would lead me tu doubt this, for the jar of the drill tends to make any particles of gold settle to the bottom, and, therefore, escape the scraper. The fairest average ot a vein is undoubtedly obtained by picking or wedging across the whole face in several places and mixing the resulting ore. In getting ore from any mineral vein or deposit as a sample what we are after is not mineralogical specimens, but an attempt to find out how many- dollars can be obtained from a certain quantity of material which has been opened to view. How much more ground may be expected to yield similar results is a problem which geological knowledge and experience sometimes help the mining engineer tQ SR'VP, but oftentimes he can see no further into rock than any other man. , K#^ Sliver Prospects, Mauy and various reasons ere given for the recent appreciation in the value of silver by the different writers upon the subject, among whioh may be men- tiqnetl tho assumed decrease in the production qf the metal, the benefit expected to accrue from the holding of an international conference, silver- speculation in India, and the effect a termination of the war between China and Japan would exert, owing to the possibility of a large Indemnity having to be paid by the former to the latter power, which indemnity would, in all probability, be paid in silver. Whatever effect the three former considerations may have, we believe the last to he the most potent cause in the advance In the price of the white metal, and, therefore. Would point out that the said advance has quite a speculative air about it, which all interested would do well not to underestimate, as just at the present time it is impossible to foretell what the result of the negotiations that are being carried on between those two po.wers may he. The Statist has this to say on the foregoing subject: "If the Chinese Government is at last convinced that it is hopeless to resist any longer, and is willing to submit to whatever terms Jnpa,n nwy impose, then there will probably he a sharp rise in silver, for everyone expects that the main Japanese condition will be a large indemnity from China. QhilW twa not the means of paying a large indemnity except by liiivmwi'ig, And it is to he presumed that if China is able to give the requisite security, so us to obtain the amount required, a very considerable proportion of the proceeds will be taken in silver. If that t urns out to be the case silver must advance. But our readers should recollect that a rise In silver brought about by a temporary demand must, in the very nature of the case, be only temporary. If, indeed, it be another condition of peace that China shall he opened up, and If the Chinese honestly carry out what they imdertnke, It is possible that there maj he a steadying of the price of silver, and that gradually there mav he even a further advance. Even (f the population of China is only about 800 millions, that population is so immense, anil the resources of the country are so vast, that if once there is Industrial enterprise of the European kind, there will inevitably he a great inflow of silver to China, and, that cannot full to have a great influence upon the price of silver, But our readers will do well to remember that all this is pure speculation. Nobody knows whether Chimi is yet convinced that she has to yield. Nobody knows what the conditions of peace will he; nobody knows, in short, what will follow. All that can safely ho said is that a large demand for silver by China would send up the price of the metal, and that there would he a fall afterwards if the QAMPBELL BROS.
