BO. 2 SANDON, B. C, SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1899. ,' The Union Scores a Point Upon the ������. Arrival of New Men at tlie Ymir. An amusing sceno occurred at fountain siding:, just above Nelson, Monday morning. J.Roderick'Robertson had engaged about twenty-four men through an employment agency for the Ymir mine. At tlie Mountain they were met by A. Parr, of the Ymir Miners' Union, and informed or the truth of the situation at Ymir. The men declared'that they had been told that there had been no trouble whatever.

With the single copy of Ollendorff he was teaching one hundred and four boys English, and by means of the Can. lac. advertising chnrt ho wn3 endeavoring to make them acquainted with tho world in which thev lived."

The will reach here about 3:30 p.m. and remain till G:"45 next morning, giving more time to Sandon than any other place in the Kootenay, as they will stop at but two other places���������Nelson and Rossland���������and give not more than three hours of available time to either, The importance of such a visit to the citjr should not be overlooked. Al-1 together about forty of the most influential papers In that section of the two countries will be represented' by about sixty people, and the publicity they can give to a description of our resources cannot be overestimated. Everyone conversant with the country knows that the Slocan, more especially the Sandon district of it, is the richest mining section of the Province; and yet Rossland has gone ahead of it merely because it has been better i.d- vortised. What all interested people desire is that our resources should be properly represented to the outside world, and no better way of doing it can be suggested than to have the naked facts represented through the press of the country. One step in tne way of accomplishing this is to show, as far as time and opportunities will permit, the visiting representatives some of the specimens of our wealth, ih<> operations at th.3 mine*, ;mkI ox- inal location consequently void. He subsequently brought action to establish his title to the claims. The ease was decided against him on the grounds that his locations were not void, as he had used mounds instead of stakes. Ctillanan gave notice ������f an appeal to the privv council, and tho trial was duo to comeoff shortly. E. P. Duvif, Q. C, and W. A. Gallihcr, represented the contending parties.

I stood in tho corner of the room, with my kick against tho wall and my hand on the cold rifle-barrel. Ihe table covered with my books lay between me ajid t&e door, but for tho first few minutes after the lights were out the darkness was so intense that -nothing cbuld.be discerned at all.. Then, very gradually, the outline of the, room be- ' oanie visible, and the framework of the windows began to shape itself dimly, before niy eyes. After a few minutes the door, its .upper 'half! of glass, and tho two windows that looked out upon the front verandah, became specially distinct; audi! was glad'that this was bo, because if the' Indians came up to the house 1 should be able to see their approach, and gather something of their plans. ������������������ Nor'was I mis^ taken, for there presently came' .. to my ears the peculiar hollow sound of a tcanoo landing and. being carefully dragged up over the rooks. Tho paddles I distinctly heaxd being placed undeineaLh.and the silence that ensued thereupon f rightly interpreted to m'eam that'the Indians were, stealthily approaching tho house.' '' 'While it. would be absurd, to claim that I was not alarmed���������-even frightened���������at the gravity of the situation and its' possible outcome, I speak the whole truth,when I say that I was not ovei whelmingly afraid for4myself. I was conscious that, even at this stage of the night I was passing into a psychical condition in which my sensations seemed no longer normal. Physical fear at no tinie entered into the nature of my feelings ;, and though. I kept my hand upon my. rifle the greater part of the night, I-was all the time . conscious ' that its assistance' could, be of little avail against: the terrors that '���������' 'I had to face. More than once I seemed to feel most" curiously that I was in no real sense a part of the proceedings, nor actually involved in them, but that I was playing the part of a spectator���������a spector, moreover, on a pajchic lather than on a material pi in. Many of my sensations that night were too vague for definite de- sui iption and analysis, but the main foelwig that will stay with, me to the ' end ot my, days is the'awful horror of it all, and the miserable sensation that if the str.nu had lasted a little longer than was actually the case nij' niind must inevitably have given way. ���������'''.- Meanwhile 1 stood still in my corner, and waited patiently for what was to ��������� come. The house was as still as; the grave, but the inarticulate voices of the night sang in my ears, and I seemed to hear the blood running in my , veins and dancing in my pulses. '"' lu the Indians came t-6-the back of the house, they would find the kitchen door and window securely fastened. Thoy could not get in there without m iking considerable noise, which I was bound to hcur. The only means of golfing in was the door that faced ine, and I kept my eyes glued on that door without taking them off for the smallest fraction.of a second. My sight adapted itself every minute better to tho darkness. "' I saw the t Iii,- that nearly filled the room, and lea only a narrow ��������� passage on each ai.de. .f oould also make out the striughl backs of .the wooden chairs picked against it, and could even dis- i siLfuish my pupors and inkstand ly- .uik on the white oilcloth covering. I thought of the gay faces that had gath ired round that table during the summer, and i longed for the sunlight its f had never ,longed for it before. Leas th.ui three feet to .my left the pu.-fjage-way led to the kitchen, and the stairs leading to the bedrooms above commenced in this passage-way, but almost in the sitting-room itself. Through the windows 1 could see the dun motionless outlines of the" tree's ; not a leaf stirred, not a branch moved. A few momunts of this awful silence, and then l^wus aware of a soft, tread on tho. 'boards' of the verandah, so stealihy it setmod an, impression directly on my biain rather than upon the nerves of hearing. immediately ���������auerwards a black figure darkened the glass-door, and f perceived that a face was pressed against the upper paries. A shiver ran down my back, and my hair was conscious of a tendency to rise and stand at right angles to my head. It was the figure of an Indian, broad- shouldered and immense ; indeed, the largest figure of a man 1 have ever seen outside of a circus hall. By some power of light that seemed to generate itself in the brain, I saw the strong dark face With the acquiline' nose arid high cheek-bones flattened against the glass. The direction of tho gaze I . could not determine, .but faint gleams of light as the, big eyes rolled round and showed tluir uhitos, told me plainly that no corner of the room escaped their searching. For what seemed fully fifty minutes ��������� the dark figure stood tliere, with the huge shoulders bent forward so. as to ' bring the dead down to the level of the glass; while behind him, though not nearly so large, swayed to and fro like a bent tree the shadowy form of the other Indian. While f waited in iin agony of suspense and agitation for their next movement, little currents of icy sensation ran up. and down my spine, a.ud my heart seemed alternately to stop beating, and then' start off again with terrifying rapidity. They , must have heard its thumping and the pinging of the blood in my head 1.Moreover, I was conscious, as I'felt a cold ptream of perspiration trickle down my face, of a desire to scream, to shout, to bang the walls like a child, to make, a noise, or do anything that . would relieve the suspense and bring things to a speedy climax. It was probably this inclination that led me to another discovery, for when I tried to bring my rifle from behind my back to raise it and have it pointed at the door ready to fire, I found that I was powerless to move. The muscles, paralysed by this strange j fear, refused to obey the will. Here indeed was a terrifying complication! ��������� * (��������� * * * There was a faint sound of rattling at the brass knob,' and the door I was pushed open'.''a'-couple of inches. A pause of a few seconds, and it was pushed open still farther. Without a sound of footsteps that was appreciable to my ears, the two figures glided into the room, and the man behind gently closed the, door after him. They ware alone with me between the four walls. Could they see me standing there, so still and straight in niy corner 'I Had they, perhaps, already seen rue? My blood surged and sang like the roll of drums in ah orchestra; and though I did my best to suppress my breathing,- it sounded like ihe rushing of wind through a pneumatic, tube. ���������'.; ' . , My suspense as to the next move was soou,at. uri: end���������only, however, to give place to a new and keener alarm. The men had hitherto exchanged no -'words and no signs, but there were general in-, dications of a movement across theroom and whichever way they went they would-have-to pass tho table. If they came my way they would have to pass within six inches of my person. While I was considering this very disagreeable possibility, 1 perceived that the smaller Indian 'smaller by comparison) suddenly raised his arm and pointed to the ceiling.'The big fellow raised his head and followed the direction of his companions arm. I began tb> understand at last. ,;��������� They L were going upstairs, and the room directly overhead to which they pointed had'been until this night my" bedroom. . It was the, room in which I had experienced that very morning so strange a sensation of fear, and but for which 1 should then have been- lying asleep in tho narrow -bed against tho window. The Indians then began-to move silently around the room; the.y were going upstairs, and they:were coming round my side of the table. So stealthy were their movements that, but for- the abnormally sensitive, state /of the nerven, I should never have heard them. "As'it was, their cat-like tread was distinctly audible. Liko two monstrous black cats they came round tho table toward me, and for the ".fust time I perceived that the smaller of the. two dragged something along' the floor behind him. As it trailed along over the floor with' a soft;,. sweeping sound, I somehow got the impression that it was a .large, dead thing -with outstretched wings, or a large spreading ..cedar branch, y Whatever it was, I was unable to see it even in outline, and I was too terrified, even had I possessed the power over, lhy nitis- cle.s to carry my neck forward in the I effort to determine its nature. , Nearer and nearer they, came. Tho leader rested a giant hand upon the .table as he moved. My lips were glued together, andL the air.seeined to burn in my nostrils. I tried to close- in/ eyes,- so that T might not,;'seecas they, passed me ; but iny eyelids had stiffened, and refused to obey. Would they never, get by mo ?,-,'. Sensation seemed also_ to.have left my.:legs, and. it was as. ii'I were standing on mere supports of wood or, stone. Worse still, I'was conscious that I-was losing the power of balance, the power'������������������������������������y.tq stunu upright, or even to lean backwards against the wall. Some force. wan- drawing me forward, and a dizzy terror seized me that I should lose my balance, and topple forward against the Indians just as they were iu the act of xiassing me. Even moments drawn out into hours must come to an end some time, and almost before I knew, it the figures hun passed me and had their feet upon the. lower step of the stairs leading to the upper bedrooms. There cannot have been six inches between us, and | ye't 1 was conscious only of a current of cold air that followed them. They hat! not touched me, and I- was convinced that they had not seen me. Even the trailing thing on the floor behind them had not touched my feet, a'|S i had dreaded it -would, and on such an occasion as this I -was grateful even for the smallest mercios. The absence of the Indians' from my immediate neighborhood brought little sense of relief. I stood shivering and shuddering in my corner, and, beyond being able to breathe more .freeiy, I felt no whit less uncomfortable. Also I was awaro that a certain light, which, without t apparent source or rays, had enabled, me to follow their every gesture and movement, had gone, our of tho room with their departure. An unnatural, darkness now filled the room, and pervaded'its every corner, so that 1 could barely- make out the positions of the windows and the glass doors. Ah 1 said before, my condition was evidently an abnormal one, The capacity for feeling surprise seemed, as in dreams, to be wholly absent.' My senses recorded with unusual accuracy every smallest occurrence, but 1 was able to draw only the simplest deductions , The Indians soon reached the top of the stairs, and there thoy hailed for "a moment. I had not the faintest clue as to their next movement. They appeared to hesitate. Thoy wore listening attentively. Thun 1 heard one of them, who, by the weight of his soft, tread, must have been the giant, cross the narrow corridor and enter the room directly overhead���������my own little bedroom. But for the insistence of that unaccountable dread I had experienced there in the morning,- I should at that very moment have been lying in the bod with the big Indian ui the room standing beside me. For the spaco of a hundred seconds there was silence, such as might have existed before the birth of sound. It \vaK_ followed by a long, quivering shriek of terror, which rang out into the night, and ended in a short gulp before it had run its full course. At the same time' the other Indian left his place at the head of the stairs, and joined his companion in the bedroom. I heard the "thing" trailing behind him along the floor. A thud followed, as of something heavy falling, and then all became as still and si] it as before. ���������.>���������'' II was at this point that tho a/ jios- j phere, surcharged all day with the electricity of a fierce'storm, found relief in a dancing flash of brilliant lightning simultaneously with a crash of loudest thunder. For five seconds every article in the" room -was' visible to me with amazing distinctness, and through the windows I-saw the tree trunks standing in solemn rows. The thunder pealed and echoed, across the lake, and among the distant islands, and the flood-gatos of heaven then opened and , let out thoir .rain in streaming torrents. ���������Tin..'drops' fell with aT swift rushing souno"/upon the still waters of the lake,'which leaped up to meet thorn, arid pattered with the rattle of shnl on the loaves of the maples, and the roof of the cottage. rA moment later, arid another flash, even more bril- iianband ofldnger duration than the first, lit up tho sky from zenith to horizon, and bathed tho room momentarily in'dazzling whiteness, f could see. tho'rain glistening on tho leaves and branches outside. The wind rose suddenly, and in less than a minute the storm' that had been gathering all,day burst forth in its, full fury. Above all the'noisy voices of - the elements, the slightest sounds in the room overhead made themselves heard and in the few seconds of deep silence that followed the shriek of (error and pain' I was aware that: the movements had'commenced again. Tho men were leaving the room and approaching the top. of the stairs. A short pause, and they began fo descend. Behind them, 'tumbling'.'from' step to step, 1 could hear that trailing "thing" being dra- ged along. , It "had become ponderous r' "y ''������������������''','."'.;., ,��������� ,1 awaited their approach with a degree, of . calmness, almost. of apathy, which Was only explicable on the ground that after a certain point Nature apfilies'her own anaesthetic, and a merciful condition of numbness supervenes. On they came, step by step, nearer;,and nearer, with tho shuffling sound of the burden behind growing- louder as they approached. : They were already half-way down the stairs''When I was galvanized afresh into a condition of. terror by the consideration of a new and horrible '.-possibility. It was the reflec- tiontnthat if another vivid flash of lightning were to come when the shadowy procession was in tho room, perhaps when it .was "actually passing in front of me, I should see everything in detail, and worse, be seen myself! I could only hold my breath and wait .���������wait, while tho minutes lengthened into hours, and the prooession made its slow progress round the room. The Indians,bad reached the foot of the staircase. Tho .form of the huge leader loomed in the doorway of (ho passage, and the burden with ari ominous thud had dropped from the last step to the floor, i- There was a moment's pause while I saw tho Indian turn and stoop to assist his companion. Then the- procession moved forward again, entered the room closo on my left, and . began ��������� to ��������� movo I slowly round my side of tho table. Tho loader was already beyond me, and hisccompanion, dragging, on the floor behind him the burden, whose confused .outline I could dimly make out, was exactly in-front,of me, when the cavalcade came to'a dead halt. At the same' moment, with the strango suddenness of thunderstorms, the splash of. the rain ceased altogether, and the wind died away into utter silence. For the space of five seconds my heart seemed to stop beating, and then the worst came. A double flash of lightning lit up the room and its contents with merciless" vividness. The huge Indian leader stood a few feet past me on my right. Ono leg was stretched forward in the act of taking a step. His immense shoulders were turned toward his companion, and in all their magnificent fieroeness I saw the outline of his features. His gaze was directed upon the burden his companion was dragging along tho floor; but ,his profile, with the big aquiline nose, high cheek-bone, straight black hair and" bold chin, burnt itself in that brief instant into my brain never again to fade. Dwarfish, compared' to this gigantic figure appeared the proportions of the other Indian, who, within twelve inches of my face, was stooping over (ho thing he was dragging in a position that lent to his person the additional horror, of deformity. And the burden, lying upon a sweeping cedar branch which; he held and dragged by a long stem, was the body of a white man. Tho scalp had been neatly lifted,' and blood lay in a broad smear upon the cheeks and forehead. Then for the first time that night the terror that had paralysed my muscles, and my will lifted its unholy spell from my soul. With a loud cry I stretched out my arms to seize the big Indian by the throat, and,'grasping only air, tumbled forward unconscious upon the ground. I had recognised, the body, and the faca was my own I It was bright daylight, when a man's voice recalled mo to consciousness. I was lying where I had fallen, and tho farmer was standing in the room with the loaves of bread in his hands. The horror o������ tho night was still, in my heart, and as the bluff settlor helped mo to my foot and picked up the rifle which had fallen with me, with many questions and expressions of condolence, I imagine my brief replies were neither self-explanatory nor even intelligible. That day, after a thorough and'fruitless search of tho house, I'left tho island, and went over to spend my last ten days with the farmer; and when the time came for me to leave, the necessary reading had been accomplished, ard my nerves had completely recovered, thoir balance. On the day of my departure the farmer started early in his big boat with my belongings to row to the point, twelve miles distant, where, a little steamer ran twice a week for the accommodation of hunters. Late'intbe afternoon I '.vent off in another direction in my, canoe, wishing to see the island once again where I had been the victim of so strange an experienoe. In due course I arrived there, and made a tositr of the island. I also made a search oil the little house, and It was not.wilhorJt a curious sensation in my heart than I entered- the little upstairs bedroom. There seemed nothing Unusual. Just aftifir I re-embarked, f saw a canoe gliding ahead of me around the curve of l3ie island. A camoo was an unusual sight at this time of the year, and this :c*iie soeined to have' sprung from nowboro. Altering my course a little, I watched it disappear around tho next projecting point of rock. It had high ctli-viag bows, and there were two Indiantdin it. I lingered wtih some excitement ,to see if it would appear again /rouni tho other side of the island;'and 5li less than five minutes it camo Into -view. There were less t ban two hundred yards bei weon us, and tho Indians', silrfifig on their haunches, were paddling .sv-viflly in my direction. I never .toddled fastor in my-life than I did i& those next few minutes. Whon I tujfiied to look again,' tho Indians had Mlorod their course, and wore again circling tho island. The sun U'as sinking bohind tho forests on tho .niainliihd, and the crimson- coloured cloltds of sunset were reflected in the waters of the lake, when I looked routail for the last time, and saw tho big bark canoe and its two dusky occurJ'ints still going,round the island.' Then) the shadows deepened rapidly ; the Icifce grow black, and the night wind blew its first breath in my face as 1 turned a corner, and a projecting bluff of rock hid from my view both island, can canoe.���������Algernon Blackwood, b Pall Mall Gazette.

While you .are eating, drinking and resting on good becls,, wo and those witli us���������both soldiers and servants���������are watching by night and day endeavoring to quell the movement of talis false Mahdi. Of ���������course, you take no interest in suppressing this rebellion, the serious consequences of which- are the reverse of victorious for you, and the neglect therefore will not "do. "In two days' time Colonel Stewart, ���������the 'Vice Governor General, and the ."two Consuls will start from here to Berber, and t'hence to Dongola:. The reason why I have now sent Colonel ���������Stewart is because you have been silent all this while and have neglected us, and lost ti/mie without doing any ��������� good. If troops were' sent as soon as they reach Berber. THIS REBELLION WILL CEASE, aud the inhabitants will return lo their former occupations. It is therefore hoped lhat you will listen to all that is told you by Stewart and the Consuls and look at it seriously, and send troops, as we have asked, without any delay." NBy sending these men away on this mission^ full of peril Gordon was left without' a single compatriot to help - him in keeping the rebels at bay. One of the members of this ill fated expedition has just reached Cairo, Ho was found among the prisoners released by the Sirdar after the ' battle of Om- duiinun. Hie name is Hussau Has- sanen, and he is the sole survivor of the expedition sent by Gordon to bring relief to the beleaguered city of Khartoum. , For years Hassan, whoso life was spared by a treacherous sheik, wandered a prisoner over the Nubian desert, following the nomadic wanderings of El Mahdi and his successors, the Khalifa. From his lips comes the story of ��������� how Colonel Stewart and Frank Power, correspondent of tho London Times, fell, ruthlessly butchered by tho Mahdi's followers. Some months before the expedition Btarted Gordon received news that the relief for which he had waited so patiently was on its way. "1 was in Khartoum," says Hassan, "in lhe Arabic year 1301 (1884). The oily was then in deadly peril, for we had been long besiegod, provisions were scarce, and the dervishes were passing on night and day. {Gordon wanted to open up communication with the British troops coming to our assistance. At the same time he wished to send away as many women and children as possible, that they should escape hardship and the risk of falling into tho enemy's hands. I was ordered by- Gordon Pallia to proceed upon the Abbas with Colonel Stewart, taking charge of the mail, my orders being to hand it to any one in authority at Dongola. I was besides to help as an interpreter. "There were with us on the launch from Khartoum Consul Herbin, Frank Power, several Greeks and others whose names I forget. The rest of the party���������mostly Greeks and Berbe- reen merchants���������together with the women aud children, followed in two native sailiug craft, called nuggars. Gordon gave us for pilots two experienced Dongola reises or captains ; for armament. A SMALL CANNON, with a number of Remingtons and a plentiful supply of ammunition. Two of the. Pacha's armed steamers were told off to escort us, past Berber, so as to afford us protection. "Gordon gave special instruction to the steamboat captains that as soon as the Abbas and nuggars passed south of Berber, the latter town-was to be hotly bombarded for three days. This .was done to enable us to escape over , the cataracts in safety, to give us in short a good start, so that we should escape pursuit. All went well enough until we got to Berber. There the dervish garrison opened fire upon the flotilla, firing five rounds at us. It was high Nile; the river being full, so we managed to pass without being hit.; :-. lying concealed at Berber, startted in pursuit of our sailboats the instant our gunboats turned back. She had no difficulty in overhauling and capturing them, with all on board. The Tewfikieh failed to overtako the Abbas, so we struggled past Abu Hanied, into (he great gorge of the cataracts lying between that place and Merawi. "Our reises heard and saw a good deal of the dervishes. 1 suspected their good faith, but Colonel Stewart insisted on reposing perfect confidence in them. On the second day beyond Ber- j be'r they began disputing with each other. Early on the third day, when opposite Salamauieha village, in the Monassir country, our pilots contended whether tho Abbas should be taken down the left or right channel of the island. 'They took the east side watercourse. "Very soon after we bumped twice very heavily upon sunken rocks, knocking a grcathcile in the vessel, through which THE WATER CAME POURING IN. Colonel Stewart had the launch run hard ashore ujion a little islet to prevent her sinking. The gun and ammunition he had thrown into the Nile, which was about fifty feet deep at that point. We managed Lo save most of the baggage and the punt. Our reises decamped, swimming off to (he mainland and in an hour or two they oame back, saying they had been to the village, and brought us the precious word 'amanu,' peace and fellowship. The natives, they said, were uot dervishes, but friendly to the government and to Mustapha Yowor, of Dongola, and would provide us with camels. ' "Colonel Stewart told off me, the French cavass and an .-Arabic clerk to take the punt and row ashore and find- out if the news was true. 1 begged him not to send us, as, being Egyptians,' the natives would probably kill us. The best tiling, 1, said, was to send the punt with a few men down to Dongola and see if tho English had arrived. He declined to allow it, and declared we must go ashore at once or he would kill, us, so we went. "On reaching the' village we met three men in native dress. Que of them was blind; his name was"Wad Gamr Atmau. He was the brother of the. Sheik of the -place. Atmau asked us what was the matter, and having exchanged 'Amanu,' we told him that that is was God's will that our steamer should be wrecked ' there. Then they brought us the Koran aud swore on (he book that they would not injure us, but supply us all with camels and guides and 'send us down HI. to 'Dongola, where the English were. We returned with the news, two of the natives accompanying us lo the islet. Then the two Monassir again swore upon the Koran not to act treacherously. v "Next day two natives returned to us, saying Sheik Suleiman had arrived, and they had already secured several camels for us, while the remainder would soon be ready. The road to Dongola ran direct through their village, so we should start from there. Stewart and the consuls ordered us to transport all the baggage at once to the mainland near the village. By one o'clock we were all ashore seated upon our bundles, waiting for the camels. A messenger came from the Sheik inviting Stewart, Herbin aud Power to dinner. Stewart and the others dressed in their best clothes and went, taking me with .them to speak Arabic. "We reached the SheikVhouse in the village and were shown to a small, rather dark room. The place was CRAMMED FULL OF MEN in all about forty, most of them seated on the floor or standing. Suleiman and Atman were there and we exchanged greetings. All wore ordinary native clothes. They gave us two angarcps to sit upon. Stewart and Power sat together, and Herbin ' and I side by side. The Sheik said the camels would soon be ready, but invited us to partake of coffee and dates while waiting. "Less than ten minutes passed when all the men who had gone out on tho pretext of fetching the camels to hasten our departure-returned heavily -armed with axes, swords, knives and spears. As they entered they shouted 'Kaffr 1" "Infidels 1' One of them struck Herbin with an axe, cleaving his head in two as he sat beside me. 1 sprang us, screaming 1 was a brother���������a Mohammedan���������not to kill me as they did the other. A man nearly severed my right arm'with a knife���������there is the wound���������while I clung for help. Another drove a huge spear through my leg, biit I struggled, and' begged for life as they cut and struck at me, before 1 swooned to the ground covered with blood., Herbin was stretched on the angarep.; "The murderers also rushed at Stewart and Power, but there were so many of them that they got into each other's way. : Power hit out from the "Below Berber we oast off the sailing boats we had in tow, intending .that they should sail down, while wo in. the Abbas steamed: ahead.;. Now it turned out. that the captains of the armed steamers which had accompanied us declined to i-emain behind or to execute Gordon's orders to bombard- Berber. Fear of traitorous conduct alone explains tlheir strange and sudden behavior. Without engaging the enemy they- steamed hurriedly past, returning toward Khartoum. "Meantime the sailing boats, with the refugee Greeks and women and children, had to drift down as best they conld in the face of the strong wind. "A little steam launch called the Tewfikiefot, which the dervishes had shoulder _with his fist, just as if he- p;lrafively little real fortune-hunting were boxing, and dealt one mau such m Germany, ft is confined almost a blow on lvhe jaw that it broke the " ������������������-.-.- bone and the fellow died soon afterward from the effects, But fighting and swearing were of no use, for he was stabbed through aud through and killed in that very room. "As for Stewart, he sprang to his feet and dashing in among them struck out. right and left. ��������� He managed to get to the door through the mob, but was hacked down, on the threshold from behind with an axe or a sword. None of-us was armed, for Stewart insisted on .leaving all arms behind with the baggage party. Poor Power fell dead beside me. When they found I was alive they wanted to kill me, but a brother of the Sheik saved my life. The whole of the (baggage party and soldiers, about forty in all, were rushed at and killed; not one of them fired a liingle shot in self-defence. "All the money found on the bodies was divided among the murderers and everything else of value was placed in two boxesand sent, under a guard to Berber. The bodies of Colonel Stewart and his companions were thrown ���������at once into the river. So ended Gordon's 'forlorn hope."' When a woman marries in Germany she ceases to be an entity, says a Munich letter. Her money, estates, clothes whatever worldly goods she may possess, become absolutely the properly of hex husband, ��������� who does what he pleases wilh them. She has no standing in the eye of the law apart from her husband. He may beat her, starve her, live apart from her and she has no redress; the laws are made for him, not for her���������unless she happens to break one ot them. And that is not difficult, because they make laws in Germany as they make sausages. Mtrriago is looked upon in no European country exactly as it is in England or America; in nearly every instance, when it is not puroly a matter of business, it is a matter into" which some business enters. A wo- woman may be loved very much, but, unless she has some little money, inherited or scraped together by saving ���������no matter how small the , amount may be���������she has little chance of getting married. At tlie same time every young German looks forward to marriage as his inevitable fate at some time or other, and a German girl never looks to old maidenhood with that contented resignation that ono may see in England and America. The dowry, then, is one prerequisite to marriage in Germany. There may be no love, but there must bo a dowry. In times past Germany has been regarded as the country of romance; today there is none more practical. Tho dowry business has been reduced to an exact science. What is called a dowry varies from $10 to as many thousands; after that it is called a fortune. The lower sum is respectable for a serving maid, the higher for almost anybody. In the army the sum is regulated by law.. The officers are usually poor; many are'said to adopt the career with tho sole idea of contracting a wealthy alliance. Their salaries, with allowances, range from ������9 a week for a Lieutenant to ������30 a week for a Major-General. Imperial law does not perm'u an officer under tho rank of Major,to marry at all, unless he has a private income, or-unless the dowry his wife brings him reaches a designated figure. This figure is $20,000 for a Lieutenant and grades down to ������5,000 for a Major. The dowry is paid over, not to the husband, but to the Government, which doles out to the happy couple, after marriage '3 per cent, on the amount received. This money is retained by the Government until the husband reaches the grade of Lieutenant-Colonel, or until he resigns from the service, being refunded in full in either case. The object is to prevent officers from marrying women who cannot support them with the dignity becoming the imperial army. Out of the army the system is not so good ; (he dowry is not handed over to a watchful trustee, but is placed in the hands of the husband himself, irrevocably, just as if it were his purchase price It becomes his absolutely. Mostly he puts it in his business, if he has one ; if he has not, he buys bonds. In either case he rarely loses it; but the matter goes deeper than lhat. The unjust part of it is that the wife is uot likely to receive any benefit from it, or al least little. Most people who have had tho opportunity cannot have failea to remark that the German, in any position of life except the lowest, is nol prone to do the square thing by his family; he wears the best clothes, all the family jewelry, and is willing to pay only for his individual pleasures. Hurried travellers descant upon the German husband's virtues, because his family is always with him when he takes'his outings. If these same people would only observe more closely, they would remark that, while thoy are always with him, he spends very little money , on them. One of the commonest sights in brewery or beer gardens is to see a German order his dinner, eat it, and hand over the remains���������often ouly empty plates ���������to hh spouse. Although the context would iseem to'point to the contrary, there is corn- entirely to broken-down nobles who, having exhausted all possible resources, and deep in debt; propose to sell (hemselves as dearly as possible. Caste being the ruling factor in the national life, titles have a marketable value which is never overlooked. Aside from the nobles few men marry for money alone. They will not marry a girl who has no money, but the re-' quired amount is usually contingent upon the man's position and his earning capacity. Thus, for instance, if a man has a salary or income of say ������2,- '"OP a year, he will expect to marry a ;irl who has an ' equal income, or something a little less. That is not fortune-hunting, but prudence; custom not only approves of it, but custom requires it, and custom also makes provision for it. Property is divided among male and female children alike, so that every girl has a dowry of some Size. If a man dies penniless, the the daughters have to work and save a dowry. . The laws of society in regard to marriageable girls in Germany nre not so strict: as they are in France, yet they ���������iigo wi are much more strict than in England ' institute or America, and would be exceedingly irksome to any girl with a mind of her own. In France it is considered eminent!,) proper that a girl should never set eyes upon her future husband until after she has become engaged to him; in Germany it is only required that she shall never be alone with him foi an instant unlil after marriage. A German girl of good family would be irremediably compromised it she were seen in public with her young man alone, even after she had become be- trolhed to him. She has the advantage of her French sister, however, in (hat she may meet him at paities, at her own home and in the houses of her friends. That at least gives her chance to deteimine his complexion. As many people have remarked, there is a greater difference ��������� aside from language���������between (ho Bav'ar: ians and the North Germans than there, is between the Bavarians and the French. A Bavarian never growp tired of dilating upon the fact lhat the Prussian' is not a German, but a Slav, and that the true Germans inhabit Bavaria and Austria proper and are next door to being Latin. It is for this reason probably that in all matters save thoso of a political nature the South German is influenced by Paris and Vienna and not by Berlin. Among what are called the higher classes in Bavaria, then, the French way of looking at marriage is much in vogue, and the line is being drawn closer and closer. The eminently proper procedure in matrimonial affairs makes it an exceedingly vexatious thing for a man of fhe exclusive ring to gol'married at all in his own station. Say that he has reached an age when he begins to take an interest in a quiet family life and hair restorers. He inquires among his friends as to tho marriageable girls they know. The two prerequisites in the matter are monoj and family. Provided these nre satisfactory, he wants to see the girl. That is precisely what is impossible, even if he is a friend of the family. His only hope is to find out what chuich she goes to; then he gets somebody who knows her to point her out to him. If she is pretty, he immediately goes to her family and proposes for her. If he is accepted there is a formal betrothal, and thereafter he may have the pleasure of seeing and speaking with her���������in (ho presence of her family. Until after the marriage they are never permitted to havo a word together alone. That is the fashionable procedure and it is, of course, entirely French, not German. It is " even , considered better form for tho man to propose for the girl without having seen her beforehand���������because the seeing implies a vulgar"-curiosity. With Bav- annus in general, however, there are : ffr;e������ no such formalities, although the opportunities for young., people to meet are still very scant and rarely, if ever, does a respectable young man propose marriage-to a girl, he proposes to the family. (All this is merely custom, naturally, but any other form of conducting affairs would be looked upon very much askance. It is curious to note how newspapers in Germany are brought into play by people matrimonially inclined. Germans, it may be explained, give more publicity to their private lives than the people of any other land. Their death notices, for instance, are real tombatones in type and are full of detail. If a man is going on a journey he puts an advertisement in the paper bidding good-bye.to all the friends he has not had time to call upon. If he has been ill he rushes into print again to thank all the people who inquired after him when he was in, bod. Upon evcrj conceivable pretext, in short, he lays open his heart to fhe world in coif. type. It is perhaps only natural, therefore, that he should let everybody know when he wants a wife. Most German journals, including those of Austria, contain daily from a column to two columns of appeals for "life partners" "or "nest mates" or whatever the poetic fancy of the advertiser may choose to call them. Many timet, the advertisement is in rhyme! The advertiser, man or woman, spares no praise in personal description ; the mar. is usually "finely educated, of unquestioned social standing, prepossessing in appearance, sympathetic and a good business man;" the .woman "beautiful, accomplished, domestic, and an irreproachable cook and housekeeper"���������the. last attribute being particularly in demand by German' husbands. Always, too, is the, dowry- given or required���������dwelt upon with rather significant emphasis.. Sometimes a man wishes to marry "into a business," or the woman, usually a widow, has' a business to offer in exchange for a husband. For the rest it it, nothing "is lacking; the advertiser gives his height, weight, state of his constitution, color of hair, aud n great many other details. Ho always tells what' sort of hirsute trimmings he has on his face, because no German girl, unless desperate, will marry . a man without a mustache. When an advertisement does not have the desired effect the advertiser usually goes to a Schatchen, who polishes off the business very quickly for a commission. But (he striking part of the whole matter is the fact that so many people should be forced '. to advertise in order to get a suitable or a satisfactory mate.' And the explanation probably is to be found in harking back to tho subject of the dowry���������the ground work of the German marriage. A man may know any number of charming girls, but they may not be eligible from the financial point of view; a woman may hayo her lists full of the names of. men with . beniutiful mustaches���������but she may be ambitious, by advertising the amount of cash she is possessed of she may catch a very big fish indeed. The system makes marriage more of a lottery than ever, but the Bavarian- are partial ,to lotteries. Taken all in all, ono might think that in a country where the preliminary conditions are so artificial mar- hgo would be the most lamentable of ions; that tliere would be as a lesult of it nothing but heart' burnings, quarrels and separations. As a matter of fact there is probably no country in which marn-ed life���������at least outwardly���������is so blissful. German men are far from being perfect husbands; that is, if perfection consists of kindness and consideration-, love and icspect. Whatever they do at home, in public they tieat theis wives as they mighi' treat their cast off boots. The ���������-eoret of it is that the wives seem to expect to be so treated and like it. Thej are usually as patient, as cows, Therefore marriage in Germany 11 blissful The men are rough in their dealings with women, but suave and polite with men, and they doubtless havo good hearts' slowed somewhere beneath their voluminous waistcoats, All the same, they fall a little below our woman's standard.

Muc Slcaineri Wrecked on the Atlantic From 0><>i'l('iuIiiiK- A recent act of the London Board of Trade has again made it possible for careless and unheeding ship owners to expose the lives of thousands of British seamento the fury of the ocean. The margin beyond which ships'' were [ prohibited to be loaded has again been placed- so low . that the majority of , theni will go out with every chance of foundering. The law enacted, mainly through the personal efforts of the famous iSamuel Pliuiso-ll, who spent a lifetime in .ameliorating the condition of the British sailor, directed that on the side of every British merchanl ship: should be painted a circle 12 inches in diameter, with a bar drawn across the middle. ��������� Below this bar, a heavy penalty was attached for loading the vessel. While his law was in action, fewer wrecks were known than ever before. Last December the Board of'Trade decided to limit this act to vessels up to'and inclusive, of.330 feet in length. Since this revision, nine steamers have been lost in the Atlantic alone. An aggregate of 2G,750 tons, worth more than ������2,500,001), has been lest by overloading, to say nothing of the lives. The law was repealed by a complication of red tape. HAD TO STICK TO THE FIGURES Why are Brown1.? gas bills so much lighter t ban his neighbor's bill? asked the manager of the company.

THE MINING REVIEW���������SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1899. I- I I';?*;-'- SATURDAY JUNE 17, 1S99. JUST WHY. A miner asks 113, through the mail, if after having worked an eight-hour Bliift anJ had a rest of eight or ten hour#, he cannot work an extra hour or two, if lie so desires. The answer is emphatically "No," under the new law. The latter distinctly says no man cm work in nn underground tunnel more than eight hours in any twenty-l'our, nor can any Oivner hire 11 man to do it, under a penalty for both. This is (he feature of the law to which objection is taken by all reasonable men, ns it deprives men of their freedom mri liberty of action, which all British law ftfij'H is imilienablj' the light of the subject. There is no question in the world but that the courts would upset that law if (hey were appealed to in that behalf. British law does not allow adults with their reason to bo manacled by bass wood statesmen, as if they wore Indians or minors���������'incapable of judging for themselves���������and wards ol* tho crown. Nor is it necessary to have such a Jaw for miners to secure what they,are contending for at the present. 'This is one thing wc desire to distinctly indicate. They think now they can secure ?3.50 for the eight houts. anil there is no law that says they shall. They only hope to get it by unity and concerted action. Supposing they had a year ago struck for eight, hours to constitute a day's work, or supposing they struck for it now without any law on the suoject, thoy could hare secured it then or they could secure it now, us readily as they can S3.50 for the short day without law in that behalf. We want it distinctly understood Tlie Review has contended (irst,lasl and always, lhat eight hours at a time is sufncntly long for any man who values his health to work in'most tunnels in (his district, and too long in many of them, though there are some that are perl'eclly said and healthy for longer hours, if a man desires to put them in. We also frankly acknowledge that $3.50 a day is little enough for good, practical miners to earn in this part of the country, with expenses as they arc. What we object to is a manacling law depriving free British subjects of their freedom to hire their services as thoy like, in their own interest, when in no wise intctfcring with the rights of others, which is their inalienable right, by a lot of pettifogging provincial ministers, who pass such law for the votes it may bring in contests, and for no other purpose. wo Stratford Ladies Tell How minim's Heart and Kerro Pills Make Weai People Strong.

Laboring men, mechanics, etc., of all classes, have but their labor and skill ns their only stock in trade against the capital of the capitalists in any sphere, and they must reckon with it as do the capitalists with their thousands and millions. Public sentiment declares that neither one must oppress the other, as fhe one cannot exist without the other. Tho Review held at the outset that it was a mistake to have disturbed tho friendly relations that existed between the contending elements of the Slocan when this law was introduced, ai.d we say so still. It is a wise man who leaves "well enough" alone, and a misdirected man who throws lire brands between capital and labor, when they are working amicably together, as they were here when this law was passed. ' in the present issue, it would be better, for tho mine owners and their employees to confer and adjust their own differences where it can be done ; but at the same time all owners must bear in mind that mining labor is now an organized factor in the Kootenay, and must be dealt with as such whenever differences arise. fllNINQ STOCKS ADD OTHER INVESTMENTS. % .

This is the way the miners at Nelson arc taking up their differences with the owners: Nelson, June S, 3S09. Mr. E. Nelson Fell, Manager Athabasca Gold Mine.

If no conference is arranged by Saturday night, June 10, you can prepare lo stand the consequences. Yours respectfully, GHAS. A. M'KAY, President. J. II, PARK, Sec.-Treas. '-'���������' >I?rom'-oili.ee of the Nelson Miners' Union/W.F.M. , Wc don't think anything will be accomplished by threats. The situation is this : A law making radical changes between mine owners and men, and apparently asked for by no one, has been passed making considerable concessions on one side and none on the other. The owners shut down-their mines until an adjustment of differences can be made. Tho field is now a fair one for arbitration to be arrived at by, conferences between representatives of both sides. No one side has any right to try to force the other. A settlement is a fair business proposition as much as buying and selling a farm. , Threats from either side can accomplish nothing. If the owners choose to shut down their mines that is their business, and to do the best .they*can for themselves by reasonable business negotiations is the legitimate business of the miners. W-iiichever way ii.goes' the country is certain to receive a serious blow, and to diminish the consequences of that blow, is the principal aim of the'business men of the country.

About a year ago it gave up the ghost, and. after being propped up by "the sinews of war," it ran on until the other day when it suspended again,and this time probably for good. The day is past for organs as such to succeed in Canada. When a newspaper becomes a party organ it ties up its independence and is bound to defend the every act of its party .whether right or wrong. This becomes repulsive to the growing independent thought of the country th.it wants the truth told and the offending party or parties exposed. There is nothing at all wrong in a paper expressing its preference for a given party, as all men who study the questions of the clay have their preferences; but there is no party perfect, and tlie general public are coming to know it, and arc cultivating sufficient independence to say it. In fact it would be better for the parties themselves, in the long run, if this independence of expression was more generally diffused. If parties and parly leaders knew thoy would not be defended in wrong doing by their following and their press, they would be much more careful of public acts and utterences.

He used to advise less experienced oritors to begin rather a low tone, so as to catch hold of the watchful attention of the meeting-, and then, when that attention was secured, to let the voice go as far as it would. I have heard other orators advise a man about to address a great meeting to begin with the full clearness and strength of his voice, so as to give the audience the comfort of knowing; from the very first sentence that they would havo no difficulty in following all he was likely to say.

That excellent, high-class, mining journal, Mines and Minerals, published monthly at Scran ton, Pa.,' says: "In view of the interest which has been taken in zinc mining and .smelting during the past year and ,i\ ^ilf and the commercial and speculative prominence of tlie industry at the present time due to the rapid rise in prices of ssinc ore and spelter, the prompt appearance of tho preliminnry bulletin upon the production of zinc iii 180S, prepared by Cbus. Kirehoff for the United States Geological Survey is to be commended, and the report is particularly timely. Mr. KirchoH'says : "Generally speaking, the zinc industry has had a good year in 1S9S. The consumption has been large, and prices havo been above tho average of recent years. To a considerable extent this has -been counterbalanced, from the smelter's point of view, by the rapid rise in prices of ore, which has brought unusual activity and great prosperity to the miners of southwest Missouri and southeast Kansas. The year has witnessed an interesting struggle, becoming more and more acute, between the older smelting plants of Illinois, Missouri and Kansas, using coal as fuel, and the now works in the Kansas natural gas belt, of which lola is'the productive centre. The advantage of free gas in the direct lessening of cost and in the indirect economies in the metallurgical operations is causing a transfer of the industry to the favored locality. "An interesting change during the year was the transfer in location of a number of the smelters from the vicinity of the mines to the gas belts and the change from coal to gas-(ired furnaces. As was to be expected, a number of new works have been built while the old ones have been enlarged or re- modlcd to meet the new conditions and to provide for the increased demands. The old mines are being pushed to thoir, limit and zinc in a small way has almost as great an interest for the ore speculator as has copper. The centre of the zinc fever is in the Joplin district, but tho interest has extended wherever the zinc mines are, and the old Friedensville mines even are being examined with a view to 0again working them. Tho increase in prices of zinc ore during 1S9S was remarkable. During 1S97 it fluctuated between $21.50 and 82-1.50, but in December. 1898, it rose to 810.50. About the close of" tho year there was a do- clino in the prices of ore which led to the formation of the Missouri-Kansas' Zinc Miners' Association, which represented all of tne Missouri and Kansas camps. The association, which was rendered possible by the peculiar conditions under which the zinc mining was carried on, largely by individual operator?, proposed to regulate the ore supply by combining all of the concentrating plants into groups of 20, and then shutting down one group at a timo in alphabetical order whenever an ore surplus was threatened."

London, June 13.���������A blue book issued tonight contains the reply of Mr. Chamberlain to the petition of the Uitlandcrs to Her Majesty's government, which was mailed from the Cape on May 10th. The secretary of the colonies freely admittj that there are substantial grounds for the complaints embodied in the petition, which he proceeds to discuss at length, emphasizing those affecting the, personal lights of the Uitlandcrs, which infringe the spirit, he says, if not the letter of the London convention. Great Britain, ho contends, is 110.I willing to depart from her attitude of reserve, but "cannot permanently ignore the arbitrary treatment of the Uitlandcrs and the indifference of the republic to her friendly representations." Mr. Chamberlain points out a policy that would .remove all pretext for intervention, and suggests a conference between Sir Alfred Milner and president' Kruger, in which ho leaves Milner a free hand, laying stress upon the question of the franchise in the Transv&ul, 'and instructing the British representative that if his suggestions in this regard are not fairly received he need not urge any further discussion. 3N LOVING REMEMBRANCE W.

Sandon, B.'C, June 10, 1899. ��������� . - ��������� Some twelve years ago Mrs. Elizabeth Gilhula, wife of the postmaster of Buxton, Out., was taken ill'with an obscure stomach trouble which her physicians pronounced cancer of the stom- MRS. GILHULA. On lhe advice ol friends she commenced taking- Burdock Blood Bitters. The, results that followed were little short of marvellous. Her slrenglh and vigor returned and in a short time she was completely cured. Mrs. Gilhula is to-day in the full enjoyment of good health, and in all these years there has not been the slightest return of the trouble. Here is the Idler Mrs, Gilhula wrote at the time of her cure: "About four years ago I was taken sick with stomach trouble and consulted several of the leading- physicians here, all of whom pronounced the disease to be cancer of the stomach of an incurable nature, and told mo that it was hardly to be expected that I could live long-. Afterward the two doctors who were attending- me gave me up to die.

(Continued.) As the top layer of earth was removed by the miner, a loot or so would thaw out each day. The diggings being shallow, it was not difficult to open up a claim iu the smaller gulches. On the bars inl the larger -water-courses it was,not feasible to ���������thus turn tho water aside. '.Till. GOLD WAS FOUND TO JEX- | , ; TEND, in many places underneath tho water. Unable to follow this pay streak, such claims had to ho abandoned. ' h'iro, aa a means of thawing spots .not touched by the sun's rays had been 'tried without suocess at Cassiar bar. The idea was regarded as only a boy s wild notion, though now there are claimants for tho credit of the first use ot the method thau was to revoiu- 'tionize mining in tho Yukon. A certain miner on Forty Mile,' iFred" Hutchinson by. name,--was* working on a bar whero the pay extended under the water,, so that he had to abandon it. Being loath to do so, however, and .besides being of a practical turn, like ���������all the old timers, he conceived tho following plan: After' the stream had begun to freeze, Hutchinson began to ���������chop tho ieo above that part of the bar 'ho wished to work, being careful not ( to break through. As the ice froze downward ho continued to pick. "W'hsn over tho pick went accidently went ever the pick accidently went through he left it, and used another pick till the first one was frozen in solid: When he reached the gravel ho had a perfect coffer-dam of ico around him. Then ho built a firo on the ground and thawed the gravel. Hutchinson did, not put his discovery to much practical use. Tho next-winter, however, his neighbors took it up, and from that time a few miners began to work in .winter. Even-these were-regarded as fools by the rest, who preferred the dull idleness of the cabins. Soma of the minors used to say. "It's getting to be as bad in here as it was outside i���������work winter and summer both." 1 But (his was the first value of the new method, that . it made .twelve months work possible instead of two. i.Then as deeper diggings wore discovor- -, ;c'd i! bec-amt! impracticable to elevate the dirt, for it was necessary for tho sluice-boxes to. be above" the level of tho claim. As the art. of-burning- became hotter known, It became possible to work these doep claims, and from now on claims came to be re- -��������� epectively, divided into "SUMMER" DIGGINGS" AND "WIN- . TEH'-' DIGGINGS. The first "drifting" was done by 0. C. Miller, the discoverer of Millor Creek. Not only was a-hole thawod down to bed-rock, but a tunnel was run, and the whole lower gravel of the claim taken out.-. Burning- may be' said to 'have become of practical use only, two or three years before the Klondike discovery, so it can 'bo understood how rapid changes have been. In 1890, an ��������� old-timor, Joe Ladue, built a trading-post in the Yukon at the mouth of Sixty Mile River. Having a belief that other streams would be discovered in that neighborhood as rich as Forty Mile, ho advised every miner who stopped at his post to try Borne other streams. He particularly recommended Indian River, a stream . of no groat size, entering the Yukon from tho oast about twenty-five miles below his. post and thirty-six miles above Fort Reliance. ���������' In tho summer of 1894, a miner by the name of Robert Henderson stopped jat Sixty Mile Post. Ho was a new- 'comor, lately from Aspen, Colorado, (but a-Canadian by birth, having been fisherman at Big Island, Piclou on Quarts Creek, and took out about five hundred dollars, another'one hundred dollars, and more being taken but later by other parties. In the spring he went baok up toward Australia Creek, getting only fair prospects, nothing that warranted tha oponing up of,,'a olaim. During that timo Henderson was-living mostly on the game that fell to. his rifle. Ho was alone and had no partner. Returning from tho head of the rivor, ho went up Quartz Creek again. This time he cast eyes longingly .toward tho ridge of hill at the head of Quartz Creek separating the waters of Indian from those", of the then : almost unknown Klondike. Crossing over the short sharp divide (it is so sharp that if a I cupful of wator worn poured^ upon (ho I crest, ono half would run ono way, the other half tho other way)/ he dropped down into a 'decp-eleft.-- valloy of a small stream running northward. Ho prospected, and found eight cents lo the panl 'lhat "'meant, wages; such a prospect was then considered good. Enthusiastic over the.find, Hendorson went back over the divide. Thoro wore -about twenty men on Indian working, mostly at the , mouth of Quartz, some of them doing fairly well. Henderson pu.rsunded three of tho men, Ed. Munson, Frank Swan.son, and Albert -Dalton, to go back with him. Tho four men took over whip-saws, sawed lumber, built sluioe boxes, and opened, up a claim in regular fashion about a quarter of a mile below the forks���������the spot plainly visible, from the divide���������and went to SHOVELLING IN THE GOLD-BEARING DIUT. a^ bearskin robe and some other thi_���������_. This notice had been put up in ��������� the summer of the year 1895. The occupants evidently intended to return. Tha white man and tho Indians sooured their outfit at Fort Selkirk from Mr. Harper. The following year ���������that of the strike���������Carmack dropped down to Forty Mile, but soon returned as far as the mouth of the Klondike for tho fishing, whero h"o was THE NEW SYSTEM TRIED FOUND SATISFACTORY. AND .'henper Than iJy Electricity���������Method, of Chni'Klii������ the,."..Cylinders���������The Expert-, incur Seem* to-be a Succc.ik. The New York Post ol Friday" says: Tho Twenty-third street air-power cars began running regularly according to drying and curing their'.catch, Indian fashion, when Hendorson on his way back to,. Gold Bottom, came along. ,When Henderson's boat touched shore ho saw, Carmack. "There,'' ho thought, "is a poor dovil who hasn't struck it." Ho went down to whero Carmack was, - told' him oC bis- County, Nova Scotia. He was a jrugged. earnest man, some six feet (tall, with clear blue eyes. Henderson rhad but ten cents in his pocket, and .knowing Ladue's belief in Indian River, ho said to" him: "I m a determined man. I won't starve. Let me ^prospect for you. If it's good for me, jit's good for you." Ladue gave him a grub stake, and Henderson went I upon Indian River and found- that it :was as Ladue had said. He could make wages. On that account, ho did not desert it for the just then more popular fields of Forty Mile and Birch Creeks, but determined to try again. (With tho experience of the miner, he knew that farther towards tho heads of the tributaries of Indian River he should look for, and probably find, coarse gold, though perhaps not on the surface, as it was oh tho river. Accordingly, tho next summer, found Henderson again on Indian. He pushed on, and FOUND "LEAF" GOLD , on what.is now known as "Australia," one of the main forks seventy-five or eighty miles from the Yukon, ono piece being, he says as large as his "thutor-b-nail. Had he gone up the other fork sufficiently far, he would have discovered the rich diggings of Dominion and Sulphur creeks. Returning, he went back to Sixty Mile. .-.When winter cams he put his goods on a ulrA and went up Quartz Creek, which puts into Indian forty miles trom the Yufeon. He had no dogs to Tho stream was the present Gold Bottom (sinco relegated-to the position of a fork of Hunker Crook, running parallel with present Bonanza, and- enteriug the Klondike about nine miles up from Its'-mouth. Hunkor Creek was not named or known then); Tho amount that they shovelled in on Gold Bottom was seven hundred and fifty dollars. And that gold was the first gold taken on the Klondike. It was equally divided between -the f Our men. At that time, if any ono had stood on the divide and looked to tho westward, he would have seen tho valloy of a large creek. That creek was known as "Rabbit*' Creek���������so oloso to Gold Bottom that if one knows just the right spot on that divide a oup ol water would not ouly have run bolh ways into Indian and Gold Bottom, but also into the source of this "Rabbit Creek, IFor in this manner aro the heads of a number of streams gathered together, as the spokes of a wheel lead to tho hub. Early in August, Henderson ran out of provisions, and leaving the others at work, went down Indian River and back to Sixty Mile. There were about a dozen men at tho post and at Harper & Ladue's saw-mill, also a party who 'wore on their way to Stewart Rivor. Hendorson told thein what ho haid found. .'Ha. persuaded tho Stewart River party to turn. back, tolling them thoy would havo to look for it, whereas ho had found it. Ladue at once sent two horses overland with supplies, and all tho others wont with them excepting Ladue,. Henderson fixed up his boat, and with some supplies started down river, leaving Ladue to follow him. On account of low,water, he was unable to return up Indian River, and besides, being- nearer, he dropped down to the mouth of the Klondike. It was the midst of the fishing season. The salmon in the Yukon are very plentiful during their run in August. And some of them are fine fish, the king salmon in particular, even with the groat loss In weight they sustain from a journey of sixteen hundred miles from salt water, often weigh . , -������������������ .; '���������' - AS MUCH AS FIFTY POUNDS. Chief Isaac's village were;encamped at the mouth of the Klondike, on tho north sido, taking the salmon in weirs and drying them on racks in the sun. Tho Klondike takes its name from its being the river where tho fish weirs aro set. It happened at this time there wero also a white man with a squaw, two Indian men, and' a' boy fishing, but with a stationary not. They woro camped across trom the 'Indian village. The white man's name was George Carmack, (he squaw was hia wife, the Indian men were respectively Skookum Jim and Cultus (worthless), or,"Tak- ish" Charlie, while the boy was named K'neth���������all *'l--i!cisji: Indians. Charlie was a big chief of the Takish. Jim would have been chief, being the son of the former chief,, but among, the Takish the descent is through tho chiefs sister. Jim and Charlie therefore, though called brothers, were really cousins, and WGre brothers- in-law of Carmack. This Car-mack was originally a sailor on a man-of-war, but had taken up his abode with the Chilkoots at Dyea, and married a Takish wife. Carmack liken the life with tho'Indians. It is said (hat one couldn't please him more than to say, "Why, George, you're getting every day more like a Siwasb!" "Siwasli George" is tho name by which he be- camo generally known. Carmack had been over tho pass years bc-fore, and both ho and the Indians, who were his inseparable companions, knew something o������ mining, though they could hardly be called miners. Parmack was outfitted by John J. Healy at Dyea to do trading, with the Takish and,other interior! Indians. Carmack built a poat which is called "McCormick's" post. (Be it observed that this Is the universal but erroneous pronunciation of the name Car- maok.) It la situated on the bank of the Yukon about twenty miles above Five Finger Rapids. If any one, on that wild stampede into Dawson in the fall of 1897, had, taken the trouble to tstop there, he would have seen fastened against one of the rough log buildings a paper with this writing j PROSPECTS ON GOLD BOTTOM, and told him he had better oomo up and stake.- At first Carmack did not want to go, but Henderson urged. At length Carmack consented to go, but then he wanted to tako the Klondike Indians up also,, as well as, his own. Hendorson, demurred at that, nnd, being frank, may have said something not complimentary about "Siwashes ' in general. It has boon reported that ho said that ha "didn't intend to stake the whole Siwash tribe," and he added, "I want to give (he preference to my old Sixty Milo Friends." AVhat effect this may have had on subsequent events I do not know; I can only surmise, that it may have had some. Next morning Henderson went on up by way of tho mouth of Gold Bottom. Carmaok with his three Indians followed soon, but instead of taking tho rather more roundabout way, went up "Rabbit" Creek, tho mouth of which is: a mile from the Yukon. Hendorson reached Gold Bottom first. When Carmack arrived, he showed some colors of gold that. he himself had found on "Rabbit Creek. Colors aro single grains ��������� of gold; they nro found, every where in the, Yukon Valley ���������"colors" and "pay" are, by no means to be confounded. I havo found them on top of ico cakes in the Yukon. Tho Indians and Carmack staked each a claim on: Gold Bottom. When they joined by his Indians. They had their | officials at the power-house, at one nets set in the. Yukon just below the I o'clock this morning; three ofl them mouth of the Klondike-and were \wm ueedj making. trips n^er sLxUen minutes' headway across Twenty-third street from tho North River- to the East River. This schedule was maintained until fivo this morning. Tho motion of the cars, as observed by an Evening Post reporter who rode a distance of four, miles on one yesterday afternoon, was singularly free from the jerky movement of electric and;cable cars. Tho method of preparing tho compressed air with which the cylinders aro charged is interesting. A hugo engine draws In the free air, which passes into ,a first cylinder whore it is compressed to a volume of about SO pounds to tho square inch; iu doing this the air is brought to A HIGH TEMPERATURE, and to free the air from this, it is conducted through a copper tube to a cpoler,, which is a cylinder containing coils of pipe through which water circulates- Tho heat imparted to the wator is afterwards available lor heating the feed-wator. Tho air, at 80 poinds pressure, is then passed into the first intermediate couiuressur, where it is furiher compressed to form throe to four hundred pounds to the square inch, and is then cooled for ihe second time. Tho third compression reduces it to twelve' hundred pounds per square inch and the fourth to from 2,5C0 wore roady to go, Henderson asked j to 3,C0 pounds lo the square inch Carmack if he intended to prospect on ��������� ,���������,���������.,, .... . otiuail- luou> ��������� ��������� .... ..' - .

The ship was leaking badly, and could not be left safely thus all night. Ho called for a heavy harpoon, and cut tho handle, making a weapon about three feet long. Armed with this, he went down again to fight the octopus and stop the leak. This timo he did not notice the.beauty of the translucent tropical water. Slowly he .approached the spot where the octopus was hidden under the bilge of tho vessel. As he approached, tho creature moved from under the sido of the vessel, gathering itself for;the attack. ���������-,-..������������������ There were but four or five feet between the coral reef on Which the vessel had grounded and her sido at this point, and Conrad settled himself hero for the battle. It' was not slow in coming. The snake-liko creature extended one of its long arms. Conrad gave a quick thrust with his harpoon but the . devil-fish was quicker than he, an'd snatched away tho arm. .'���������'-. Again the creature struck, this time touching Conrad on the hip; but on the instant it lost its arm, severed by a blow from the harpoon. Then tho fight began in earnest. The devil-fish tried to envelop the 'man, in its many tentacles, and the diver kept slashing with tho harpuon. , He inflicted ' wounds enough to disconcert the creature and prevont.it from enwrapping him, but for some time none of the wounds were serious. At last, just as the creature had .come to alarmingly close quarters, he managed to drive tho harpoon into a vital spot. When^badly injured in the body, the cuttlefish discharges a great quantity of dye, which colors the water a jet black. Instantly Conrad found himself in a mass of ink. He gave the sigaal, and was pulled up. It took some time for the dye toclear away so that anything could be seen in the water. Then Conrad went down again. He did not have to renew the battle. The octopus was dead. The greatest xemody for aneer is delay.���������Seneca-i STARTED WITH PROMPTNESS only limited by the friction of the wheels on the rails. Tho motor is operated simply by ono small lever. One of those cars-will -run fifteen miles on a' good track on a charge that is restricted to a space under the seats, and . this could bo increased; to twenty miles by crowding in all the flasks, that .the.space- could allow. It is claimed in behalf of the air- power cars that not only, are their running expanses loss than tlioso of electric cars, but the cost of building the road-bed is less than that for tho trolley system, owing to.'. overhead wires being necessary. Soma progress has been made in the development of-strong, light and safe steel llasks for the reservoirs. After trying all the different makes of air- flasks, both from this coun'ry and abroad, a series of very elaborate'and expensive, experiments were instituted with a-view of increasing both the Ultimate strength and the elongation of the metal. Other experiments with nickel steel havo shown that flasks caii be niado with 1:10,000 pounds tensile- strength and 30 to, 40 per cent, elongation; such flasks require .13,(100 pounds per square inch to rupture them. ' ��������� ���������'" THE WAYS OF NATURE: . A story is told of an attempt to introduced the mongoose into Japan to kill the rats which ate the cano plantations. After having performed this duty ;it multiplied very rapidly and proceeded to kill all the snakes and lizards as well. It next attacked tho birds, learning to climb trees in tho process, until tho poultry and wild birds disappeared. Then arose tho " ticks' or " chigoes," which the' birds used to keep, down, and the island groaned under a fresh plague. The ticks, however, finally attacked the mongoose, which began to decline; the birds began to reappear, and attacked tho ticks, snakes and lizards were seen once more, and in the end "the cane plantations were devastated as. much I as ever by rata. are hover, sold in bulk or by the' hundred or ounco, or in any form except in tho company's boxes, tlie wrapper around which bears the full, trade mark, "Dr. Williams';Pink Pills for Pale People." No matter what liio color of tho pill offered in any othor shape, it is bogus. These pills cut* when other medicines fail. , A TACTFUL OFFICER. Unit n Krave Soldier Was Saved From Humiliation. ' . It is not every host who has the art to prevent an awkward guest from feeling ill at oaso. Tho London papers tell a story of eue such host. Not- long ago the officers of the Twenty-first Lancers, a corps which has rendered itself famous by a gallant charge at the Battle of Omdur- mau, gave a non-commissioned officer who; had distinguished himself at the charge a mark of honor by inviting him one evening to a soat at their table. He had: been decorated with the Victoria 'Cross,'. and this distinction was well won. . The young man came. Colonel Sir Robert White'presided at the dinner. ; The . non-commissioned officer . was> somewhat ill at ease, being unaccus- - tomed to the dinner customs of po- ��������� lite society. He did very well until the finger bowls wero brought around; then, imagining that tho bowl which was handed to him contained some new- kind of drink, ho lifted it and drank out of it." This presontoda serious emergency to his host, for if the other guests proceeded to make tho proper use of their bowls, tho' non-commissioned officer would discover his mistake, and be humiliated. The colonel was hot willing that the pleasure of his bravo guest should be marred by any such humiliation. Ho therefore rose, and was imitated in this by other officers. Then he took up- his fiugor-bowl; the rest did the samo. " Gentlemen," he said, "I ask you to drink with me the health of our bravo guest who how wears the Victoria Cross 1" Then he - drank every drop of the, tepid water in his finger-bowl as ,did all the other officers. The story is a good one, but one wonders what the non-commissioned officer will think when, as is likely to be the ease some time if his advancement continues, ho .-.learns the proper funo- u of a finger-bowl. - m- ���������wm I \) ' I I t f,o V' I IS> >'���������' fc %> HERE AND THERE. ��������� These Few raraaraphs SIny be Found of Croat Interest.

At length the government has moved in the matter of the Cody road. The citizens of Cody sent Mr. Docksteader over to Victoria ; but before going he got assistance from Mr. Green, M.P.P., and Mr. Turner, gold commissioner at Nelson. Armed with , their recommendations h'c succeeded in getting $600. Private parties are supplement- ' ing the amount, so that this wagon road will now be made fairly passable. The bed will be changed in part to make it freer of elides and other impediments. Mr. Docksteadcr must be quite a diplomat. The Knights of Pythias held their annual memorial services in the Methodist church on Tuesday. evening. A -. number of friends of the order were admitted by ticket. As might be expected, the entire proceedings were of , a solemn character. The Rev'ds Cleland and Sanford delivered two very appropriate discourses bearing on man's immortality and his duty to his 1 fellow man. ��������� Suitable mtisic was discoursed by a choir���������Mesdames Sanford McMartin and Mr. Gable, accompanied ':��������� by. Mrs. White and Mr. Trunery on the organ and cornet. Although there were no deaths in the local lodge during the past year/the custom was obi- served to commemorate the death of the founder, Henry Wrathburn. The entire service tended very much to impressing serious thoughts upon all present. KOll OV1CU KlI'TV" YIOAKS. Sirs.
