PEOQEESS OF MINING IN THE Province���Summary of Work Done by the Department During the Year. The annual report of the Minister o Mines for the year ended December 81, 10(10, being an account of mining operations for gold, coal, etc., in the Province of British Columbia, has been issued. It is illustrated by 41 photographic views, and accompanying it are two colored maps���one a sketch map of the province, showing the mining divisions, and the other a map of portion of Atlin, Bennett and Chilkat mining divisions, compiled from recent surveys. In submitting the report to the Minister of Mines the provincial mineralogist says: "The following statistical tables give the total mineral output of the province to date, and show in considerable detail the actual mineral production of tbe past year, as based on smelter or mill returns ; also a summary of the production of each of the last four years, thus illustrating, by comparison, the progress made in productive mining during this period." The tables referred to, exhibit ll) the total production for all years up to and including 11)00 ; (2) production for each year from LS90 to 1900 inclusive; (3) amount and value of mineral products for the years 1898, 1899and 1900; (4) production of mineral by districts and divisions; (5) yield of placer gold per year from 181)8 to 1900 inclusive; (li) production of lode mines, showing both quantity and value of gold, silver, lead and copper, respectively, produced in each separate year from 1887 to 1900, inclusive; (7) production in detail of tiie metalliferous mines for 1897, 1898, 1899 and 1900; (8) coal and coke production per year from 1859 to 1900, inclusive; (9) comparative mineral production for 1899 of Britisli Columbia and other provinces of the Dominion, and (10) a similar comparative table for 1900; (11) table showing distribution of mines shipping in 1900. A diagram shows the progress of mineral production since 1857, exhibiting fluctuations during the 411 following years. All this introductory matter gives evidence of much labor in its compilation, and doubtless it is generally correct, but in one respect at least a more careful checking was necessary to secure the fullest confidence in the figures submitted. This was in the comparative table for 1900 (numbered 10 above), in which first the value of British Columbia's yield of gld is shown as $10,000 less than the amount given in table II, and next an error of $100,000 was made in the value of gold produced by "all other provinces combined," these errors together making this province to appear $90,000 better than it is entitled to, and so in some measure encouraging doubt as to the reliability of oilier lignres quoted, A printer's error, too, makes the total value of coke appear $50,000 higher than it should do, hut this mistake is not repeated in the comparison made. PBOQRKBS Of MINIMS. Under this head the report makes comment on table I to 8 above named. Before dealing with the figures given il says: "It is with great satisfaction that we can this year again point to our statistics as proof of our rapidly increasing importance as a mining community, Our total output, while in itself not inconsiderable, is not as yet very large in comparison with that of some of the older mining countries, but it must be remembered that lode milling in Biitish Columbia is the growth of the last six or seven years. It is not the amount of the present output so much as the wonderfully rapid growth of the mining industry indicated thereby, which causes our present satisfaction and confidence in the future. Our actual growth as a mining community must and will be measured by our actual output, as shown by reliable statistics, and it ie such actual output sih.ne that can give us. as a province, a standing among the mineral producing countries of Ilu- world.'' Summarizing further comment, it may be here noted that the total amount the mining industry of the province, though hut iu its infancy, has already contri buted to the wealth of the world is $162,155,208, whicli has been chiefly derived from���in order of importance��� Gold, $76,897,308! coal and coke, $49,- 140,917; silver, $13,1149,809; lead, $7,- 619,956, and copper, $4,362,583. The value of the output for 1900 was $16,- 44,751, as against $12,898,131 for 1899, an increase of $3,951,620, and a proportionate growth for 1900 of nearly 32 per cent. There was a decrease in placer gold from 1899 of 5 per cent, but in all otlier minerals there was an increase over 1899, as follows: Lode gold, 21 percent; placer and lode gold combined, 12^ per cent; silver, 89 per cent j copper, 19J_ per cent; lead. 206 per cent; coal, 10 per cent; coke, 148)., per cent; other materials, 22 per cent. The yield of placer gold for 1900 was $1,278,724, whicli amount���although less than that of 1899���was greater than any previous year since 1879, In 1894 the total value of the output from the lode mines of the province was $781,342; in 1895 it was $2,342,397 ; in 1899 it reached the sum of $(1,751,(104, whilst, in 1900 it was $10,- 0(19,757, an increase over 1899 of $3,318,. 153, and equivalent to a gain of 49 per cent. In 1899 there were in the province 43 mines that each shipped during the year more than 100 tons of ore; in 1900 there were some 60 mines each of which shipped more than 100 tonsand(39 others the shipments from each of whicli were less than 100 tons. Of the mines producing in 1899, most of them also shipped ore in 1900, hut the greatly increased tonnage of ore mined���93 per cent greater than in 1899���was made up from the increased output from the eluding all the country from Christina Lake and l-rsinklin camp to Keremeos under the misleading head of "Boundary Creek District," when "Boundary Creek" is not properly applicable to even one-fourth ..f the area thus improperly designated, but there is yet hope that some day official density will be penetrated and an intelligent discrimination he made between the far j more comprehensive "Boundary District" and the restricted "Boundary Creek District"���and descriptions of the (iranby smelter at (Irand Forks and the Britisli Columbia Copper company's smelter at (ireenwood.

A new and interesting development has lately taken place at the British Columbia Copper company's Mother Lode in'ine, near (Ireenwood. where another surface opening lias disclosed the presence of ore quite outside of what has heretofore been regarded as the western limit ..f the mineralized zone. This quarry has exposed the two classes of ore characteristic of the mine, with a distinct dividing line between the calcitic ore and the magnetite. The work so far done is insufficient to prove whether this ore is a slip from the big out-crop above or whether it continues into the hill, hut the indications are strongly in favor of the latter alternative. The quarry is being opened at a level that will admit of a trestle being built out from it about twenty yards t.. the railway line, where the ore will he dumped directly into the railway cars for trans- BOUNDARY ORE SHIPHENTS.

The raise from tin tunnel 1.. the top of the hill is now nearing the surface, bo will be through in the course of a few days. I. was thought that in crosscutting through the hill this working would be in ..re I'..r about 150 feci, but this ex- pectation was not fully realized ihe length along which the ore occurs being 115 feet. Allowing for the apparent dip of the ore body this gives a right-angle width of ore of about 90 feet. In both raises ore of good grade has been encountered, so that those developments have much improved the prospects of the mine, whicli now has in sight a considerable quantity of ore available for shipping to the smelter. Itis expected that crosscuts at both the 200 and 300- foot levels will prove that the ore goes down. REVENUE STATISTICS.

In these mines there were 2,430 men employed below ground and 1,309 above, making 3,739 iu all. The report next deals at some length with each of Ih.' minerals separately. CONCLUDING REMARKS. Other matters given space in ihe report are some remarks "concerning prospects ;" a brief summary of the work of the Department of .Mines lor the year; information relating to mineral exhibits made by the province at several exhibitions; particulars of examinations of assayers and of coal mine managers; reports of inspectors of mines ; lists of accidents in mines, of crown grunts issued during 1900 for mineral claims, and of names of gold commissionersand mining recorders. By far the greater part of the report, though, is composed of information relating to the mines supplied by gold commissioners, mining recordeis, mine managers and others. This information is exhaustive, dealing as it does with the principal mining operations iu all parts of the province, Included in it are fairly representative summaries of operations in the Bound- dary district���it is a pity that tin- mini's 'department makes the mistake of in- million previously given, the general form already established for the statis- I tical tables and for the report have been retained as closely as possible. Altogether tin- report for 1900 will be welcomed by many who find in this annual publication of the Depart nient of Mines a most useful and interesting compilation of facts nnd figures illustrative of the increasingly imp..riant mining industry of Hritish Columbia. THE GREYHOUND. At si general meeting of shareholders in the Western Copper company, limited, held in Greenwood on June 20th, 1 he following officers were elected: Iv .1. Wilson (manager of the Standard Pyritic Smelting company's smelter,) president; Fred. 11. (diver, (managing director of the Morrison Mines, limited,) vice-president; II. E. Price, secretary- treasurer ] and Frank Watson, managing director. It was resolved to make an effort to raise sufficient money to enable the management to proceed with the further development of the company's Greyhound mi-ieral claim, situate in Deadwood camp, between one and two miles from (Ireenwood. The work done on theGreyhound includes 212 feet ..f sinking and ahout 350 feet of drifting and crosscutting. There ison the property a small power plant, consisting of a 85 horse-power upright boiler and a 6x8 hoisting engine. 1 Rendell Now Ready, portation to the company's Bmelter at Gr wood.

Nearly nil of ibis ore has now been hoisted to the Burface, so the stope is ..nc again clear for a resumption of ordinary operations, As a precaution against a similar occurrence in the future, pillars of rock are being left standing in the stopes.

The visit to (ireenwood and vicinity of the Archdeacon of Kootenay closed last Monday, on the morning of 11 Inch day the reverend gentleman left by train for Last Kootenai, where he will visit Cranbrook, Fernie and neighboring points. On Friday, in company with Rev. W. A. Robins, the Archdeacon went up to the Mother Lode and Sunset mines, where lie met many of those who attend the services of the church Mr. Robins conducts periodically sit the former mini-. l)n Saturday morning the cemetery was visited and an opportunity was thus afforded the visitor ..I seeing what bad been done toward, pulling in order the ground set apart fur burial purposes for the Church of England here. In the afternoon an informal reception was held al th.- lion f Mr. and Mrs. ('. L. Shaw and this was attended by quite a number ol members of the congregation. At the Sunday services the Archdeacon preached both morning and evening. The congregations were good, especially in the evening, when the attendance was unusually large. The sermons were earnest and helpful, and were attentively listened to throughout. The musical portion of the service was very heartily rendered, especially in the evening, when it was choral, the congregation joining in the responses and hymns with more than usual zest. Before commencing his sermon in the evening the Archdeacon congratulated all associated in the work of the church in Greenwood and vicinity upon the material progress thev had made since he last visited them. They must have worked well to be iu a position to build the parish hall now Hearing completion and which they j will shortly be able to use for church services and other purposes. He had confidence that in due time tbey would be enabled to erect a far more substantial building for a church, one that would be a credit to the church and to the city uf (ireenwood. Besides this they had made theircburch self-supporting since the beginning of the year, 90 that they now took rank with tbe unassisted parishes, of which there are at the present time only three others in the diocese of Kootenay, viz., Nelson, Kossland and Cranbrook, although Revelstoke and Vernon would, ere long, he thought, be in a similarly satisfactory position. He was pleased to note, too, the increase in numbers and general improvement in the Sunday school. During his stay in Greenwood the Archdeacon was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wood, whilst several others of the parishioners extended hospitality to him, and so assisted in making his visit the more agreeable. DOMINION AID TO RAILWAYS. The Vancouver News-Advertiser recently published a communication from a correspondent together with a letter upon tbe subject of Dominion aid to railways the latter had received from Sir Wilfred Laurier, in which the following reference was made to Hritish Columbia: "Hritish Columbia shall not be forgotten at tbe proper time, but her projects of railway construction are on such a gigantic scale, that our resources, large as they may be, were not adequate to her undertakings, this year. 1 would also remind you that it is only four years ago this spring that we provided for the Crow's Nest Pass railway, which is almost completely in Hritish Columbia." KOOTENAYS BIG POWER WORKS lireat changes and enlargements are now being made at the Bonnington Falls Power Works, West Kootenay. There are now two generators of 1,000 horse-power each, and one of 2,000 horsepower. When the alterations under way shall have been completed, there will be one setting of water wheels with a capacity of 4,000 horse-power, and a spac left for two more of equal strength, to be completed when needed, which would give a total capacity of I.'.,1)00 horse-power. There are now 100 men at work. Seventy-live arc engaged on rock work and 25 are rigging derricks and getting construction plant in position. This week 75 additional men Acre to be added to tbe force, and work will be prose cited night and day till all is finished, which is expected to be in about eight months. It is ahout two months since tbe undertaking was commenced and a good showing has been made. The construction machinery now being put in place consists of one 10-drill Kami compressor and three 4-ton derricks, operated with double drum engines with swinging gear attachment, also four air drills. A canal 3110 feet long, 50 feet wide and with an average depth of 311 feet, is being made. This canal commences at a point on the river bank almost parallel with the beginning of the present Hume, discharging some 4(1 feet further down the river than the other. This canal will furnish power to a setting of water wheels of 4,000 horsepower, leaving space for two similar A "WIDE OPEN POLICY. OPPORTUNITY Westward is your OPPORTUNITY! The Town of Rendell, on the West Fork of Kettle River is now on the market. For the man of small capital it affords uuequalled opportunity for sure investment. With title perfect, prices low, terms liberal and excellent outlook, the sales are bound to be large. the hills surrounding this new town are excellent mining prospects. Several of them have already demonstrated that they are mines. The richness of the ore justifies hauling it at present to Midway, by teams, over rough roads. Good roads and railways mean fortunes.

Hogarty, of Lexington, Ky., when they saw he was turning yellow. His skin slowly changed color, also his eves, and he suffered terribly. His malady was yellow jaundice, He was treated by tbe best doctors, but without benefit. Then he was advised to try Electric Hitters, tlie wonderful stomach and liver remedy, and l.e writes: "After taking two bottles I was wholly cured " A trial proves its match- ' less merit for all stomach, liver and kidney troubles.

The report for the year ending March 31st, 1901, does not give any idea of the volume of ore shipped by this Slocan mine during tbe year, nor the average values, nor does it afford any opportunity for comparison with the previous record of the mine. In his repbrl W. 15, /.wicky, manager, says: "I have practically stuped out all the large ore reserves that were blocked out above the No. 5 level. I am still stoping out smaller streaks above this level with profitable results. Then- is a large block of ground above No. 5 level, between raise No. 2 and chute 35, which 1 am now prospecting, and from present indications 1 believe it will produce considerable ore No. 5 level shows ore in the bottom in several places, and one continuous shoot from li inches to 2 feet wide, and about 200 feet long, which looks very encouraging for the future of the mine. The stopes between Nos. 4 and 5 levels were not so good as there was reason to expect from indications in those levels. From my knowledge of the property and the indications showing as development progresses, 1 have every confidence that we will lind large bodies of as valuable ore as has been produced in the past. "We are now ill tlie position where we must instill some kind of power to operate below tbe No. 5 level, and it is very necessary to get it in as soon as possible, I am confident that I can re duce our expeeses from 15 to 20 per cent, with a suitable plant. I have looked in the matter considerably, and would recommend that we put in a water power plant of 250 horse-power capacity, which will furnish ample j power to operate a compressor that will supply air for 10 drills, run a 75-ton concentrator, operate tbe hoist in No. 5 ��� level and furnish power for an electric light plant suitable for our require- | nieiits. "From estimates we have from 76,000 to 100,00(1 tons of fillings In the mine and on the dump, whicli, in my opinion, will pay handsomely to have concentrated. I have had some of the Idlings tested at the Kaslo Sampling Works, j but will make a further test of about i 1,000 tons, and results from such tests will approximately prove their worth, I and satisfy us whether it. will justify us i in putting in a concentrator at tbe ; present time." Tbe financial statement of tbe company shows a business of $701,110 during the year. The cost of mining was $149,- 775 and of freight and treatment $209,- 225. Dividends were $231,1100. A bal-! ance of $144,872 was carried forward. LOST. Between Miller Bros, store and lower end of Silver street, a small hunting case j silver watch witli raised gold Horal or-1 .lamentations. Hy returning same to Miller Bros., tinder will be suitably rewarded, Those people who advocate what they call "a wide open" policy can see one of the results of such a line of action in the latest Seattle tragedy, For some years it has been freely alleged that Seattle's chiefs of police have been in the pay of the vicious element. We do not say that this has been said of all the persons who have held the office during the last fifteen years, for we believe there bave been some exceptions to the rule, but iu one or two instances tbe practices grew to scandalous proportions. The late Bolton Rogers practised blackmail upon I the vicious elements systematically, and Meredith, who was shot on Tuesday, apparently was carrying on the same business. It is perhaps more than a coincidence that the man who shot Meredith, that is Considine, was largely instrumental in exposing both him and Rogers. Considine is the proprietor of a variety theatre, concerning the character of which the less said the better. Tbe disgrace to Seattle in this affair is not. that one man shot another, but that the municipal politics of the city are largely dictated by such men. And this will always be the ease when year after year a city is run "wide open," because thereby a fictitious prosperity can be maintained. The argument for this policy in Seattle lias been that, if the town was kept "wide open," miners and others would select it. as a place of residence. Municipal corruption, vice flaunting itself in public places, hundreds of ruined homes, thousands of ruined lives and occasional, but. not infrequent, murders, are the price that Seattle has paid lor the poor kind of business success which rests upon a foundation of vice.���Victoria Colonist. The Seattle Times says that, there can be no manner of doubt that the murder of the chief of police was the direct outcome of the wide open policy which was inaugurated with the election of the present mayor. That election meant the ascendancy of the lawless element., the gambling element, the sporting element, the very advanced element that thinks everybody is at liberty to do as he pleases. Seattle is an immoral city, because, it is a wide open city; it is a wide open city, because the bums, loafers, blackguards and criminals have for the time got the upper hand in its government; and the bums, loafers, blackguards sii.d criminals have got the upper hand, because they were encouraged by municipal lenders who will do anything for votes���leaders who, having none themselves, cannot conceive that a city has any need of a reputation.��� Nelson Miner. A LARGE DIAMOND. What is said by jewelers to be the largest diamond ever seen in this country passed through New York recently on its way to the Pan American Exposition It is canary color and is the property of Stern Brothers A Company, diamond importers. It weighs in its present finished state 2073., carats. The famous Kohinoor diamond, which belongs to the British crown, weighs in its present form lOti 1-1(1 carats. The color of the larger stone makes its value only a fraction of the value put upon the Kohinoor. The weight of the (Irloff diamond is 194:',, carats. There have been reports from South Africa about a diamond found at Jagersfontein in 1893 weighing 9713., carats, and blue-white in color This stone in New York was found about a year ago in the Kimberley district, in South Africa. Its weight in the rough was (100 carats. A syndicate was formed to purchase it from the De- Beers Company, bring it to Europe and try and lind a market for it. It was cut in Amsterdam and lost about, two-thirds of its weight. It was then purchased by Stem Brothers in Amsterdam. The stone is about the size of a bantam's egg. It is cut as brilliant a and has (14 facets, As a canary or yellow diamond it, is perfect, being absolutely flawless and with a very brilliant luster ���Engineering and Mining Journal, SHE DIDN'T WEAR A MASK.

In case ^expectations should be realized, brick will be worth nearly half as much again as that turned out by the mine last year, as a result of a like clean-up.

Sir Claude Macdonald says that during tbe five years lie served as britisli Mi.iinter in tin- Flowery Kingdom In- never saw a drunken Chinamen. Perhaps it is this intemperate sobriety that makes the Chinese so unpopular in some localities in British Columbia. ��� Nelson Miner. Some months ago a New York Judge lined a striker (or making faces at a scab who took bis place. Now the New York jurist bus been eclipsed by one over in Jersey City, who lias enjoined sonic girl strikers from making faces at the women who are filling their situations. Tin- way of the workers is a bard one when they are compelled by law to regulate their countenances. According to the United States department of labor, it costs the railroads less than one-fifth of a cent a mile to haul I heir passengers. The people are paying irom 2 to 5 cents for the privilege of riding. Notice the prolit. Do you think it would be a good investment for the public to own and control the railroads? The profit is about tbe same in the operation of other public franchises, like the telephone and telegraph, yet the people seem content to allow individuals and corporations to control them. A jury in the United States court at Indianapolis, Ind., decided the otlier day that it is not a violation of law to open a "jack pot" with a counterfeit dollar. The case sit bar was one iu which tbe accused was charged with passing a counterfeit dollar while be had l.is feet itniler a poker table. A "jack pot" was the object for whicli tin- players were striving, and tin- accused opened the pot with a counterfeit dollar, tossing tin- coin on tin- table with tin- chips already there, lb- failed to win the pot, and the man who raked it in was the witness for the government. The jury and judge did not agree, the latter expressing the opinion, after the decision bad been announced, that bis knowledge of the game of poker was such as to lead him to believe that it was a crime to open jack puts with counterfeit money. Tbe prodigal sons, who play the cards for "mon." will not be delighted with the finding of the jury. In Chicago there is an an organization known as the the "Woman's Social Economics Club." If the newspaper reports of one of ils recent meetings are correct, it is a wonderful organization. A member remarked that some of the girls in the department stores of that city were only receiving $2.50 per week. At once there arose a heated discussion as to how any one could I've 011 such a niggardly sum. The club finally decided that the production of wealth in the country was sufficient to give every worker sflid per day if the funds were properly distributed, and held that it could not afford to admit thai such miserable salaries as $2.50 per week existed. A resolution was adopted culling upon all adult workers to demand $30 per .lav. What a glorious world this would lie for most men and women if such wages as the Chicago club advocates prevailed! There would be no such thing as starvation, no tenements, no children working through the night; but everywhere we would find peace anil contentment. The Chicago ladies are all right, in theory, but capital will not allow them to practise what they preach. "Flaneur," of the Toronto Mail, having expressed bis willingness to accept the opinion of the majority of medical men regarding vaccination, is treated to aletter in reply of which the following is an extract: "History shows that this is not a safe thing to do. During the previous century this 'majority' was equally in favor of smallpox inoculation, yet tbey have now made it illegal. For forty years the 'majority of medical men opposed Harvey's discovery of the circulation of the blood ; they bled the people for a century, thereby slaughtering thousands: for many years they denied a cup of cold water to a patient consuming with fever; they used to give patients calomel till their teeth dropped out, the flesh rolled off their bones, and the bones crumbled into dust, and, in short, they have bitterly opposed every real nnd scientific reform in the healing sirt. Through vaccination they are poisoning the blood of the whole civilized world, and so introducing the seeds into the system, or, at least, predisposing it to to all forms of disease. And all j for the purpose of securing sin iinagin- 1 urv immunity from a disease with which j few have any acquaintance except by hearsay, and from which 09 of every inn recover." As a specimen of the way in which Uncle Sam blows his own horn, witness tin following list of alleged achievements which the New York Journal publishes iu black letter under the caption, What I'nele Sam has done to John Hull: "William C. Whitney captures the Derby; .lames R, Keene takes the Oaks ; Charles T. Yerkes secures control of the London rapid transit and will use I American equipment; ,1. 1'. Morgan makes an audacious bid to control the world's shipping; the American locomotive defies I'.ritish competition; Andrew Carnegie gave $15,000,000 of American money to a Scotch university ; American enterprise has brought, the British steel industry to a standstill: Americans cou- I trol the Apollo, Shaftesbury, Duke of York, Daly's and Covent Garden theatres in London; American Bridge company furnishes material for forty steel bridges in South Africa: America sup- 1 plies Britain with typewriters, bicycles, telephones, phonographs and sewing machines; Great Britain uses American . agricultural tools; American coal is sent RAILWAY STRIKE. Up to the time ..f writing to outward appearances the main features of the strike remain unchanged as far as the trackmen themselves are concerned on this division. The strikers arc holding firm and attempts to till their places have all proved futile, the men brought in joining the ranks of the strikers almost as fast as they are put off the cars At Ottertrail ilu- Golden Era reports thut llll .laps went back lo work mi Wellies.lay of last week under a .lap boss. This is the only defection from the ranks of which the Herald has any Information, but there has been one gang at work at (Iolden all the time under Evan l'nghe, who was working as foreman of an extra gang near lllecille- waet up to Saturday before the strike- On the other baud the strike has become general throughout South Kootenay and on the Crow. Revelstoke Division No. I of the B. K. T. of A., which went int.. '.he strike with a membership of about 100 now report more than three times that number of members and a couple of hundred more trackmen stationed at other points in the division anxious to join. While the continued dry weather of last week was favorable to the company the heavy rains at the beginning of this week bine altered the condition of the track for the worse very quickly and materially. On Monday the Bow river washed out, the approaches to the bridge at Kiuianaskis and completely disorganized the train service. On the western division, to which that point belongs, there is one bridge gang, which is not exactly known, which never went out and their services were called on to repair the damage. .Monday's No, 1 is expected to leave Calgary this afternoon getting in here tomorrow morning, while Monday's No. 2 is hung up at Banff. Last night a local came through from Banff but without the mails or through passengers as the distance along which the roadbed was cut up is too great, to admit of a transfer. On the Arrowhead branch a spread rail near Wigwam put some cars on Monday morning's train in the ditch. The work train went out with the usual crew from the shops reinforced by ollicials and members of the clerical staff. The wrecking crew got the cars back on to the track and the repairs to the rails and roadbed were done by the amateur section gang. A wreck is also reported somewhere on the prairie. The strikers have continued to maintain a law-abiding and peaceful attitude, This correct and dignified conduct on their part has wonderfully increased the public sympathy with their cause. Speaking on this point the (iolden Kra says: "Public sympathy is with the strikers and all express the hope that their wages will be increased to at least a living standard. Deducting poll tax, union fees and hospital dues from $1.35 per diem, which white trackmen now get, there is little left, for clothing and food, the latter being $4.60 per week. What can a man, at this rate of wages, lay away for the proverbial rainy day'.' Can he afford to marry or indulge in what ought to be the pride stud hope of every man���a home?" The Post, a little weekly paper recently established at Victoria with a view apparently of counteracting the nanihy painhy dullness of the daily press of the capital, has a characteristic paragraph on the situation. It says : "We congratulate the Colonist on its leading article yesterday in reference to the c, I1, ll. trackmen's strike. The Morning Glory says: 'We cannot fnr the life of ns sue what the grievance of the C, I'. II. trackmen is The man secni to have been relatively well paid,' etc. We own up honestly to a burning desire to take the writer of those words by Ihe scruff of the neck, yank him out of the editorial chair and plump him down on a strip of railway track, with $1.25 a day, and tell him to keep himself and family, We are willing to bet that inside of IS hours he would have forgotten all about Og the King of Bashan, the wash-bills of the early Babylonian Kings, and the "ctilchaw" of New Brunswick, and would have a very thorough comprehension of what the trackmen's grievance really is."��� Revelstoke Herald.

If there are no fixed laws governing mineral deposits, if success is only a mutter of chance, then one man would do as well in charge of a mining enterprise as another. Success would be purely and solely a matter of luck. Failure must necessarily follow any enterprise when persons imbued with such ideas enter upon it. Yet we see them do it in mining every day. The gambler is not so foolish as this. He counts largely on his skill, What show would a novice stand in a game of stallion poker with an experienced player? Hut is success iu mining a matter of chance? Who are our successful men today? Are they not invariably men who have gained experience in every day life, men who have met with si number of failures and reverses, perhaps, before they acquired the necessary skill to make them masters and give them the ability to make success in their chosen field of effort, but whose success is in no sense of the word a matter of chance'.' In a monograph on the "Geology of the Sierra Nevada in its relation lo vein mining," by Amos Bowman, published in 1*575, Mr. Bowman said: "When the truth first dawned upon the placer miner that there were ancient rivers in the hills richer than those of '49, he was not slow to discover or take advantage of the first principles of hydraulic mining. There was surely a channel ; that channel had a definite (though winding) course; it had a deep gutter; and it had a rim, ..r rim mck on either side. "The man who now expects to pursue profitably the business of hydraulic mining, without, regarding these first principles, would be deemed a strange phenomenon, if he did not sooner or later outlive his luck." Then speaking of the development and production of the tptartz veins in the states, he says : "We have discovered thai the source of all the gold in certain subterranean ore channels is as well defined in many respects as are those of the ancient rivers. "It may appear some day, when ue know a little more about it, that, tinman who would expect to pursue profitably the business of vein mining, nit limit regarding or understanding the nature of these channels, should also sooner or later expect to outlive his luck." The laws governing the formation of placed deposits are fairly well understood and it would be a poor miner indeed who could not, hy virtue of his past experiences, he able to predicate with comparative accuracy something of the probabilities "beyond Ihe point of the pick." The time has arrived in quartz mining i that Mr. Bowman looked forward to��� "when we know a little in..re aboul il ;' when we know to a certainty that or. deposits were made in ..re channels, sn lie said; not subterranean, however, a. he supposed, except perhaps iu a few [ isolated instances, but channels made on the face of the earth and governed by the same laws that govern stream action nt the present day. Is it a matter of chance that successful mining men go into otlier states and plant, is $7,000. In connection with this cable the following circular has been issued by the secretary: "As you are aware, experiments have been carried out. over an extended period wilh a view to the extraction of the gold remaining in the tailings by means of tbe cyanide process. These experiments were in the first instance carried out upon a small scale with satisfactory results, after which a small and complete plant was laid down for treating some hundreds of tons per month. The result of this latter hulk is given in the following table just received: 'Cyanide process, present rate of extraction is gold 00 per cent., estimated profit per month (with) final plant $7,000(XI,450./ This information is very gratifying, sis the above figures represent an additional profit, from this source of some ,C 17,00(1 per annum, equal to 8,1s, per cent on the total capital of the company."

The Rossland World says the first ore shipment was made on the Uith of August of last year, and up to January 1st, 1001, about 3,000 Ions were sent to the Northport smelter. This year up '.. March Hist, 8,;">02 tons were shipped giving a gross value of $171,1110. In April 4,4110 tons gave $47,070, and in May 4,200 tons yielded 613.517, or about $07,- 5So, making total gross receipts from ore shipments up to May Hist, $286,585.

Editorial reference was made to this: ex- hiliit in the following words: "The admin.bio exhibit which the province of Ontario has presented at the Pan- American exposition at Buffalo, which is described on another page, will be of great service to its mining industries'. Nothing can draw attention to the mineral resources of the province better than such an exhibit. Great credit Ib due to the mines department for tho cure and thoroughness with which the exhibit has been prepared. The extent and variety of the products Bhnwn will be a surprise to many puiple, even in the province itself, and will give the world generally a better idea of Ontario's present production and future possibilities than it ever hail before." It is a great pity that British Columbia, the mining province pur excellence of the Dominion, did not take advantage of this splendid opportunity for advertising the province. It would have been too expensive an undertaking, perhaps, to have made as big a showing as Ontario did us regards quantity, but a very creditable and representative exhibit might have been made had the provincial government been fully alive to the advantages thus open to the province. However, since there ie no use crying over spilt milk, the chief lesson to be learned is that in future the mining districts of the province must, if their best interests are to be promoted, make combined and persistent repre- sentsitiaiis to the government until, by their very importunity, they succeed in getting justice done to the all-important mining industry. THE NAVY LEAGUE. The lirst public meeting of the Victoria branch of the Navy League was held iii that city one evening last week. Many leading members were unable to attend, but the meeting was fairly representative, if not large, Bear- Adiniral Bickford, in a letter, hoped that the effort now being made would result in the formation of a Naval Reserve, for which the men of the sealing licet afforded good material. A resolution moved by Captain Barkley, seconded by Mr. II. I). Helmcken, M. I'. P., and supported by the Hon. Edgar Dewdney, Senator Templeton, and Messrs. McPhillips, Hall and Hayward, M. 1'. I's., Mr. C. II. l.ugrin. Captain Itoyds and Mr. Wallace, was then passed as follows: ���'That the large and continually expanding navies of otlier nations are an ever increasing menace to the Hritish and Colonial mercantile marine, on which the life of the United Kingdom inrsiw material food-stuffs depends, being at the same time of living moment to Colonial trade, industry and development. This branch of the Navy League deems it of the utmost, consequence that nothing should be left undone to strengthen the hands of the parent League in bringing prominently before the people of the whole of the Britisli Empire, the paramount necessity for an all-powerful navy to protect and keep open the sea-ways, as being the only safe, proper and legitimate means of securing that inter-Imperial trade which is indespensable alike in times of peosiee as well as of war. "This branch of the Navy League therefore desires to call upon all classes of the ciiuimu.iity to join in awaking a loyal, public and patriotic, sentiment, to spread information showing tbe vital importance to the Britisli Empire of the naval supremacy, upon which depends its trade, Empire and National existence,"���Vancouver News-Advertiser.

KING & CO., | Stationery, Fancy Goods, Tobaccos, Cigars *f- \mwmmmmmmmmwwm Edison's new invention of a light weight storage battery, practicable for' traction purposes or for stationary use. is beginning to assume a serious aspect. notwithstanding the skeptical criticisms which are made. It is now asserted thsil by his use of a novel compound of iron j for the positive, combined with the same amount of graphite, and a negative of finely divided nickel and graphite, he has reduced the weight of the battery from ISO to 55 pounds per horse-power hour; has reduced the time of charging the battery one-half, and by this substitution of the different material for lead cells, has done away with the rapid j deterioration which has heretofore made the storage batteries Impracticable for street railways and by no means reliable for automobiles. It is further asserted - that with one charge Edison's battery will propel an automobile 100 miles, instead of 30, siiul miike possible the use of electric power for heavy trucking in cities; anil eventually il may end the use of the overhead trolley, which is now a great nuisance, with its poles and wires. If it shall accomplish these tilings, it will then be more easy to anticipate wh..t Mr. Edison is said to expect, that, it may be utilized to accumulate tidal power. The lead cell battery could not work quickly enough to become commercially useful, but it is the inventor's belief that Ihe short time required to charge his battery will make il practicable. II needs no further remark to show the great possibilities of this invention, provided the trial experiments justify the further expectations. The Philadelphia North American contains a long article by Julian Hawthorne in descriptions of the new battery, with much picturesque detail about the "magin," as he calls Edison��� the old name was "the wizard of Menlo Park." He says the whole apparatus can be carried in the hand, or even concealed in the mouth, This is an exaggeration, of course; it is merely the essential part of the new invention that can be disposed of. The whole apparatus, though, as Edison says, simple, occupies a trifle more space. Thisessen- tial part is described by Mr. Hawthorne as "almost of the size and shape of the gum-stick that you obtain by putting a nickel in the slot, of the machine at the railway depot." fn the buttery, these steel gum-sticks appear as some four- and-twenty oblong panels set back to back with a thin perforated sheet of hard rubber between them. Mr Hawthorne particularizes thus: Their surfaces sue covered with a minute rectangular grill, too small to be distinguished by the naked eye; the tiny apertures are punched through the steel by a machine, in order that the electrolyte may be able to act upon the metal's within. For each of these little cakes or "briquettes" as tbey are called, contain beneath the thin perofrated steel shell a slip of one or two substances in alternation; lirst, for the negative pole or positive element, iron ; second for the positive pole, or negative element, a superoxide of nickel, with the formula No. 02. In oilier words, it is a nickel- iron "cell." The electrolyte is potash, an aqueous solution of a certain quality, which withstands a temperature of 20 degrees below zero. U. S. MINERAL PRODUCTS.

Very general regret found expression der the provincial department of mines | in Greenwood last night when the sad , ing state of Washington. Last Sunday the Kossland Miner published as a "special" from Greenwood the ore shipments of the Boundary district using���of course without acknowledgement���the figures specially compiled for tbis paper. So long as it kept to the "cribbed" figures it was safe, but iniini.lesitely il ventured to provide its own figures it got wofully astray. The tonnage for June 27th inst. Inclusive was given as 30,362 tons, and then the astonishing statement was made that "if the average daily rate is maintained until 30th inst. the output for June will reach 72,000 tons, so that for the first half-year the total tonnage will be 214,- 000." As a matter of fact the output June was 34,000 tons and tbe total for the first-half of this year 170,000 tons. It is much to be regretted that a paper claiming to be the best mining paper in the upper country should make such utterly unreliable an.l niisleadin g statements no matter whether the "special" was sent by a correspondent with a very vivid imagination or was otherwise made up. By the way that paper's Phoenix correspondent was more modest in bis "special" for he gave tbe half year's tonnage as 177,093 tons, but where he got the figures for the Carmi, which he credited with an output of 2,000 tons ���about double its actual tonnage���is a matter for conjecture. he t at Cranbrook and who is now left a young widow.

Barclay Bon throne, of Vancouver, general manager for the Erl Syndicate, of London, England, which owns the Monarch and Ta.narae mineral claims, in Greenwood camp, besides a number of otlier mining properties in this province and some in Mexico, left Greenwood tbis morning for the coast after spending a week looking over the Monarch and incidentally visiting several of the larger mines in the district. He was accompanied by Gordon Dal/.iel Smith, a mining engineer who is doing some professional work for the Erl Syndicate. These gentlemen thoroughly sampled the Monarch and it is not unlikely that this is preliminary to active development of this promising property, which lies between the Knob Hill and the Gold Drop and Snowshoe, being entered upon. Among the members of the syndicate are some wealthy men who have large mining interests iu other countries, and who if they do decide to open up tbe Monarch and Tamarac, will not lack capital for extensive operations. The ore output for the lirst four days of July, as shown in this week's table of shipments, is much smaller than usual, owing to work having been suspended for two days for the holidays. and later in the employ of a prominent British mining company, came over from Rossland last Saturday and on Sunday visited the Knob Hill and Old Ironsides mines in Greenwood camp. He was accompanied by A. B. Mac- Ken/.ie, the well known C. P. R. ticket agent at Kossland.

Barrett was the only one in Greenwood who celebrated Dominion Day and the Fourth of July On both days a number of small boys paraded the streets under his leadership with drums beating and flags Hying. As other noise-producers they had a cannon, two anvils, a double-barreled shot gun and fire crackers. Jake's receipts for celebration purposes were for the 1st $54, and for the 4th $34. His expenditures exceeded these amounts er many years of progressive service he came west during the time of construction of the Crow's Nest Pass railway, lirst having charge of bank's business at Fort. Steele and afterwards of the branch at Cranbrook. About a year ago he came to Greenwood, following as manager of the bank's local branch, D. A. Cameron, now manager at Seattle, Wash. Mr. Smythe quickly made a very favorable impression among those with whom he came into contact, and one important result of his cordial and friendly manner was a steady and satisfactory accession of business to the bank, whose interests he at the same time carefully conserved. A few weeks ago Mr. Smythe took a trip to Ottawa, but shortly after his return his health failed even more quickly than before, until a fortnight since he took to bis bed, from which, notwithstanding that he hail close medical attention and skilled nursing, as it transpired, he was not to rise again.
