Martin, manager of the Slocan cigar factory, left last Monday on a business trip to the Lardeau. Mr. Pitts has sold the remnants of his clothing stock to Rossland parties, who have moved it over there. Martin Clair, well known in the Slocan, was suifocated by gas in a mine near Dawson the other day. It is not improbable Mr. Ransom will be appointed book-keeper at the Payne, though there is nothing certain yet. Probably 40 Sandon people all told went over to the Slocan to take in the holiday sports over there this week. Miss Sophie Vallance, who has been the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Vallance, for about six weeks, left on Tuesday for Vancouver. Mr. Gintzlierger, of the Monitor Mine, -Three Forks, was in town the other day on crutches. Cause: a broken tendon in.oneleg. He is building a line new residence at the Forks. The Dominion government have now the Assay Office in Vancouver, and in future a large quantity of the gold shipped from the Klondike willbetaken to that port. Heretofore'the bulk of it : went to Seattle.,,;-v.\4 \>}-\J^]<>, )'.;\ -,'. ::<-h. 'Ira W. Black, an old timer of Sandon; but now in the hotel business in the Boundary; was in town the first of the week. He built the old Reco hotel, which was first called Black's, and sold it later to J. M. HarriSj who changed it to the Reco. The C.P.R. are selling tickets to Cincinnati, Ohio, and return, July 1st, 2nd and 3rd, for $74.10, and to Detroit and return, July 2nd and 3rd, $76.85; good for two months. Tbere will also be an excursion to San Francisco, July 13th, 14th and 15th, rate $50.95. Madame Camilla Urso, one of the best violinists living, appears in the Miners' Union hall on Monday evening. She has with her a Miss Helen Hall, vocalist, and Miss Sheldon Pearee, pianist. From the press notices to hand, it is quite eyident this concert has never been equaled in this city by any other performers. ion -THE��������� Greatest Yiolirvisfe ���������ASSISTED BY��������� MISS HELEN HALL, Contralto, ���������ANO��������� M.

Reserved Seats at Donaldson's Store, Mike Kerlin has purchased D. P. Kane's residence in Kaslo and will reside there in.future. A number of Sandon people intend taking in the Nelson celebration next Monday and Tuesday. Alex. Crawford has the contracts for packing supplies to the Canadian group, Trade. Dollar and Mountain Con mines. Don't forget the concert in the Miners' Union hull next Monday evening. It promises to be one of the best ever held in Sandon. A social will be held in the Reading Room shortly, the proceeds of which will be used in furnishing periodicals and other literature for that institution. The Sandon baseball team will play a game of ball with the Kaslo club tomorrow and will then proceed to NelBon to enter the tournament there on July 1st and 2nd. a The new law increasing the extent of placer mining location in the Atlin district, B. C, goes into effect about July 1st of this year. It permits the location of claims 250 feet. Col. Brayton says that 12 miles of the Crawford Bay railway will be built shortly and that trains will be running next fall, and when the line is completed to Fort Steele it will be 76 miles in length. The city schools closed yesterday until the 11th of August. A most successful closing was held in each department showing that,Mr. Lovering and' Miss Englishhave'put in most diligent aud .effectual work the past six 'months. It now becomes the duty of parents to see that all children of school age attend on August 11th, and regularly that the best results may follow. Young Sandiford, of New Denver, while returning from the Slocan sports last Wednesday afternoon oh the C.P.R. steamboat, was leaning over the deck- rail when he lost his balance and toppled over into the lake. A life preserver was immediately thrown out to him and with the aid of Russ Thompson.who happened to be near by in a canoe, he was pulled out none the worse of the incident beyond a good ducking. Frank Lowes received the distressing news on Monday from Tim Lane, that his brother John, who left here for Dawson some time ago, was drowned between Skagway and Dawson on the 18th. Nothing" further will be known of the incidenfuntil a letter is received. The deceased was an old timer of this district, having lived for some time at Three Forks, Slocan and other places. John Daly,'who has been book-keeper at the Payne for five years or; more, severs his connection with that institution, for a time at least, tomorrow. John is a very popular fellow, and he has friends by the legion, who will be glad of his success wherever he goes. We understand he is pretty well healed as far as mining interests go, and under the circumstances he will be quite busy here for a time anyway looking after these. The Sandon football team were defeated in a friendly game with Slocan by a score of 3 to 2 in the sports at that city on Tuesday. The boys claim the referee of the match was very unfair, and towards the end bis partiality became so glaring that he was replaced by a more reliable man. While the match was in progress a heavy shower of rain came down, which drenched the players 1 to the Bkin, but the game continued {throughout the downpour to allow, time for basaball between New Denver and Slocan. This football match was not for the cup and medals; the boys expect to play for them on July 12th, when with a fair field and no favor, they feel confident of carrying home the prizes. In the athletic sports Jack Gnsty carried of about $40 and C. Brett $20 of the prizes offered. At the Mountain Con. 1 H. C. Riehle, M. E., has- just commenced extensive exploiting work on the Mountain Con with 16 men, for the new English company who purchased it some months ago. The workings on the property so far are three tunnels on the lead, in respectively 33, 89 and 211 feet, with one upraise and a back stope. Ore more or less pockety so far has been encountered in the two upper tunnels. It is not the intention of the company to do any extensive mining this year, but merely development and prospecting work to enable them as far as possible to ascertain the capabilities of the property. ' Mr. Riehle has had an extensive and varied experience in mining as a busi ��������� ness, having spent some time in placer mines in California, and miscellaneous quartz properties in Norway. Besides this he has been in many of the mines of Africa and Europe, handling machinery for manufacturers. He says two tilings strike him forcibly in this country���������the quietness and orderliness of the camps and the superior way in which the men are treated. In all cases the board is better than anything he has ever seen before. After a thorough exploiting of the property has been gone through with, a ��������� ������ e M'ninq News David Ferguson is uow assaying for the Payne mine. The Plartney and the Bosun mines at New Denver keep shipping steadily.. The Hewett and the Emily Edith are principal mines working at Silverton. The Last Chance Mining Co", will hold their annual meeting some time in July. The Urban Mining Co. are applying for crown gants for the Donnelly group. Ore shipments for the week were: Slocan Star, 126 tons; American Boy, 40. The American Boy shipments for the month to the Nelson smelter were 160 tons. So large has the business of the Rambler-Cariboo mlae at McGuigan grown, that they find it necessary to build a concentrator. It is rumored the silver-lead mines of the Slocan have combined, and will establish agents in the principal markets to handle their output. F. P. O'Neil, of Spokane, is in the city complete report will be sent to the com-) for the purpose of opening up the Chic- pany, upon which will doubtless depend their future course of action. ��������� ���������' A Pleasant Surprise.

Want a Commission. Some of our exchanges are advocating the appointing of a commission composed of miners and mine owners to look into the mining Jaws of the country, and see if some changes cannot be made that will help the country out of its present difficulties. But what is (lie use of all that. The fiist thing necessary is to blow the brains, or at least the heads off some of our representatives, and teach the electors to select men of common sense in their places. As our representation stands at present, if the necessary changes were made in our laws tomorrow, troublesome acts would only be passed the next day to corral the labor vote of tho country again. There is scarcely a man in the country who will deny that if the laws were now | as they were four years ago. every mine in the country would be working; the miners of the country would be all employed, and the business people would be making some money. The laws were changed at the suggestion of the political tinkers of the country, and if re-established would be changed again by the men who changed them before, if placed fn position to. do it. No; there is no use in tinkering even with the present laws until the country has some assurance the people will elect representatives who "will let very well alone." J close The mine for some time has been shipping its concentrates to Belgium for smelting and refining, but this is found to be too expensive for operations. . ��������� W. II. Brandon has let a contract for 200 feet of tunneling in the lower workings of the Canadian group.. Some 600 feet of work has been done in this level since the property was first opened up. Timbering will be done in the old workings where needed. Wm. Karr has just finished assessment on his claims, the Maple Leaf group, on Lemon creek. The property is a gold one. He has done 40 feet of tunneling on two of. the claims, and on the lower ledge he found the ore continuous. Tiie property is situated near the Cameronian. The Monitor at Three Forks has done no shipping since rawhiding. It has, however, some 20 men stoping, and now has a complete wagon road finished. This will enable the mine to ship summer as well as winter, and even cheaper in the summer. One strange feature of this/valuable mine is that it carries a gold value often as high as $27 to the ton, the gold being found, not in quartz as is the usual order, but in the galena and carbonates. This mine will now be a regular shipper. Certificates of Improvements. N O TICE. Daniel, dordon, Gait, Donnelly and Crawford Fractional Mineral Claims.

Eight of Lea- few short years have been passed under the saddest cloud possible in life, i i j 'At the age of two the child met iw.ith' an accident which' left Jier with two ribs, broken, split off at the back bono. Though they were set and healed her little body did not straighten. Four eight years she could hardly walk, being almost doubled up. The accid- dent affected hex Kidneys and Diabetes set in. Diabetes is a particularly dangerous form of Kidney trouble, in this case/ particularly severe, by nature of injuries to the spine. ��������� The family doctor was, of course, consulted. He: diagnosed .her case correctly, but couldn't cure it. She Was sent to tho Public Hospital at St. John, in the-hopes' that tho greater skill and facilities there would avail. They could do nothing for her. The authorities advised the another to take the child home to nurse her and give her good care while she Jived, .which would not be vcxy long. The suffering of the little one was" heart-rending to the mother and friends. She cried with pain night and day. The mother grew desperate and determined she would find a cure for her child if it took every cent she possessed. She saw Dodd's Kidney, Pills advertised and immediately purchased some. From the first they ware beneficial. The Utile girl commenced to get better. Every day i.aw Dodd's Kidney Pills v.-cra doing the .work. Six boxes in all were used and once more Diabetes was. conquered. 'Not only that but with the return cf health the spine commenced to straighten. Tho little girl is now almost physically perfect.

C, Eenclrer and tho Officers of the Third West African Force Enjoying a Meal Alter a Hard Day's March. Tho West African expedition now progressing towards Benin City is of especial interest to Canadians, because its commanding officer, Major Ilene- ker, is a Canadian son of Mr. R. W. I-Ieneker, of Sherbrooke, Que., and the transport officer is Lieut. W. F. W. Carstairs, formerly a captain in the 5Cth Prescott Battalion .Canadian militia. The expedition started from Old Calabar for Benin City early in February, and ihad, up to recent advices, a vcxy hard time of it. Lieut. Car- stairs, under date of Immcrtcrmiga, March 25, said: "For the- past two weeks it has been fight, fight, fight, ovary day, but we have wiped the enemy out or nearly so. I was wounded on the 20th inst. in the right forearm and left leg, but am, happy to say, that I am fast recovering." In another letter from Ekisiga, on February 14, Captain Carstairs, said: "Wo have just captured) this' town of about 30,000 or 40,000, without a single casualty. Wo expect .to add at least 4,000,000 pcoplo to the empire in this, expedition." The scene of the above illustration is laid in the Ubiom country to the north of Opobo, in Southern Nigeria. A truculent tribe had closed the mail route, and threatened to kill any white men and soldiers who appeared- Major Heneker was ordered to take two companies, one seven-pounder, ono Maxim, and on a rocket tube, and to proceed '��������� to tho place, and there bring the tribe to its proper state of submission. This was achieved with twenty casualties only, after twelve towns had been attacked and destroyed. ! While not as; exciting $n the way of sensational incidents as Sir Frederick Hodgson's journey to the coast from the Ashanti capital, this expedition, in which Canadians have figured so prominently, has been of great value to the Empire, and proves ouce more how capable the Sons of the Maple are to do any work that they may be called upon to do in behalf of the flag and the extension of the Empire. FRAGRANT ������ 9SOB ���������s^smsmsm^^' AN An ENGINHERING- NOVELTY. interesting engineering feat was accomplished recently in Red- hough Bridge, between Newcastle- and Gateshead, England. A new bridge was built in exactly the same in improvement, j position as an old one w~hile traffic weal oil uninterruptedly. New piers were erected round about the old ones, and spans and a roadway built a little above and 4J- ft. to one side of the old roadway; then tho old piers and roadway were removed, the new roadway lowered into position, and the work of moving it into place was accomplished. The weight moved, 1.600 tons, was pushed over by hydraulic jacks exerting a pressure of 1,500 lbs. to the square inch. WHEN , An old Yorkshire, artisan persuaded his: wife to move out of town.where rents were high, to a neighbouring village, where a roomy cottage was to be had for three shillings a week. Bui there was one unlooked-for drawback to the new dwelling. Standing as it did on (he top of a sleep h-ill. if was exposed to evwy blast that blew, and the good wife was often seriously hampered when working in the backyard, by winds that nearly took her off her feet. They had not been there many days' before the artisan, who had made light of his wife's troubles, asked for a clean collar. ��������� 'Ah, can't lay lny hands' on one just now, said the old lady, methodically pouring out a cup of tea.

The Australasian Banking Record givi������s some extraordinary figures re-" la ting to sheep raising in Australia. It aippears that during the past eight years the stock of fiheep in the Australian Federation has diminished from 124,500,000 to less than 03,- 000,000 an dttoat it is now' probably less dwiing to th-3 destruction by fire of the Queensland pasture last year. At the end o.f 1899 there were, according to Government returns, 15,2-0,479 sheep im Queensland; and tho number is ncr.v estimated at only a little more than half. But for tho udvanee in the price of .wool owing to the South African "War and other causes, it is said that bankruptcy must have overtaken the squatters and sheep raisers; and tho damage to the industry must in any case take years to repair. The same number of the Record which gives tho figures of the losses of sheep state that the indebtedness of Australian population to tha banks is now about ������25 per h?,ad, which is in addition to the public debts, amounting to nearly ������200 per head. I" IP Wai. A CAGE FULL OF PRISONERS. A "very sensational murder trial is now being heard at Palermo, Italy, The accused are fifty-one in number, and they are arraigned for'a whole series of murders and other crimes. Many known participators have not yet been captured. One of the alleged crimes is the wholesale suppression of entire families in order to avoid discovery. Among the crimes,-a wealthy young English lady was seized and held to ransom of 80,000 francs, which was paid by her relatives. Disputes over the division of the booty led to many eiurders among the criminals. The Assize Court presents an extraordinary spectacle. It ,is filled with soldiers, in order to resist any attempt at rescue, and the accused, who are too numerous to be placed in the clock, "are enclosed in a huge iron cage. The trial is expected to last .some days. ; ��������� ��������� Western Australia's aborigines, notwithstanding many years of missionary work, are, with the exception of fifty-one, returned as pagans.

Tho Chinese Flan Far Superior to the Forceps, Says a Dentist. ��������� Dr. Charles (E. CoughlLn, of Indianapolis, hag discarded tho forceps in pulling teeth, and has adopted the primitive rules of the Chinese by us- img nothing except his' thumb and index finger for the purpose. He believes that the night of the forceps constitutes the harrowing part of tooth pulling and that many neirvoua persons are almost as shocked at tho sight of the instrument as they, would be if a cocked ivevolver were presented at their heads, lie can tako out tho most fLrmly-rooted double tooth in a few seconds, and that without causing pain, comparatively; speaking. "It i������ all done with' the thumb and forefinger of the right hand," he said, " and does not require any great strength, for it is not performed by main force. "In pulling a tooth' by hand, it iSI first worked around with a gentle motion, and there is absolutely no violent wrenching or tugging. In a surprisingly short time the largest and most firmly-rooted molar will show evidences t>f being loosened. The "motion is then continued with an increased pressure outward from the pivot of the tooth, as it were, until it seems actually to come out of its own accord. It is brought out with a final circular twist, not more violent than the gentle working -which is required to loosen it, and it is all over before the patient realizes that, his tooth is. being extracted. " It is ridiculous^ easy when you have got the hang of it, The tooth always comes out, and my patients testify, that it is a comparatively paiinless process, the movement of tho tooth being so gradual as not to produce any shock even to the 'most nervous, person. " I learned the process from a Chinese practitioner. It !haa been practised by the Chinese from time immemorial. Our method seems as cLcudo and as barbarous to them as theirs seem3 antiquated to us. "In many cases w-& are igetting loo far away from nature with our complicated apparatus and highly scientific way of going at things, and I ' have found that extracting teeth by hand is not only better for the patient, but also for the practitioner, for a man of sympathy must necessarily feel some of the horrror caused by the^ forceps in an extremely nervous person, and just to the extent that he is unnerved he is incompetent to perform his. duty w.ell.'" WHY SHE WAS SO ANXIOUS The other day a party were on a boating excursion at Hastings, England, and by some accident tho boat suddenly upset to the great distress of the people on shore. - One old lady surpassed all the others in her appeals to the crowd to render assistance, and she seemed to be particularly aiixious about "the young man with the red hair.". ITor appeal was heeded and the young 'man, was brought safely to shore. Tho onlookers congratulated the old lady on her rescue of her son, but she said he was not her son. , Your nephew, then ?

The prison at Chattenden, ' near. lUpnor, on the Mod way, was built in similar -fashion, and a number of prison colony Avps started some years dgo. The convicts lived in nice little houses.

An official inquiry was held, and one fine day up drove a do'zen prison-vans, and the whole colony returned to a securer prison; Oak tables, surmounted with mirrors, and phled with papers and magazines, a coavorsation-room, a bathroom, a beautiful garden planted with .shrubs���������-all these sound'like A HANDSOME CLUBHOUSE, rather than anything e-loo.

When in the autumn of 3 899, the Boer commandoes swarmed into Natal and Cape Colony, they might have "swept the English into the sea."

Contrast 'Lord Roberts' action after the convoy disaster at Sanaa's Post when ho found himself suddenly stranded with only a few biscuits per man. Heat, hunger and active enemy lay ahead of him, but a comparatively safe line of retreat was open in his rear. Nine commanders out of ten would have flunked it and retreated. " Bobs" thought otherwise. To have retreated would have worked demoralization throughout his ranks, and imperilled the Army of Natal. He took the risk, fearful though it was, and trimuuhed.

No one over taxed the Iron Chancellor with rashness, yet he summed the whole philosophy of his life in these words : "With dutiful trust in God, dig in the spurs /mcl let Life like a wild horse, take you flying over hedge and ditch, resolved to break your neck, and yet fearless, inasmuch as you must at soma time part from all that is dear to you on earth- though not forever." No discovery in medicine in modern times has done so much to bring back the rich glow of health and tho natural activity of healthy young womanhood to weak and ailing girls as has Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Girls delicate from childhood luivo used these pills with' remarkably beneficial effects, and the cherished daughter of many a household has been transformed from a pale and sickly girl into a happy and robust condition by their use. Among tho many who have regained health and strength through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is Miss Ernestine Cloutier, tho fifteen year old daughter of Mr. ,G. A. Clou- tier, residing at No. S Lallemand street, Quebec city. - Mr. Cloutier in an interview with a, representative of the Telegraph gave the following account of his daughter's iilncss and recovery: "Almost from infancy my daughter had not enjoyed good health, her constitution being of a frail character. We, did not pay much attention to her weakness as wc thought that she would outgrow it. Unfortunately this was not the case, and as she grow older she became so weak that .1 got alarmed at her condition. For days at a time she was unable to take out of doors exercise: she became listless, her appetite failed her, and as time went on she could hot stand without supr- porting herself against something and at times she would falb in a faint. T called in a doctor, but his medicine did not help her and she was growing weaker than ever. Another physician was then consulted who pronounced her case one of general debility, and gave me very little hope for her recovery. Some months ago while reading one of the daily papers I came across the case of u young woman cured 'by-the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, so I determined to give them a trial. After she had used about throe boxes the color began to come back to her cheeks and she began to grow stronger. Greatly encouraged- by this, she continued to use the pills for several months and now she is as well as any girl of her age. Her appetite is good and she has gained twenty-five pounds in. weight. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have built up her system and have made hor healthy and active after doctors failed to benefit her. I believe that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the greatest known medicine for growing- girls and 1 would advise their use in all cases similar to that of my daughter's.1." Aliss.Clouticr'fl story should bring hope to many thousands of other young girls who suffer as she did. Those who are pale, lack akpotite, suffer from headache and palpitation of the heart, dizziness, or a feeling of constant weariness, will find renewed health and strength in the use of a few boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

SATUKDAY, JUNE 29, iOOi. CIVIC AFFAIRS. . The Rhvibw has constantly shown that from the date of incorporation, civic matters have been handled too extravagantly all around, and for our trouble, we only aroused hostility. Aldermen got it into their heads that if a newspaper pointed outthatsome of their official acta were injudicious, that paper was an enemy of theirs and resolved on doing them personal injury. Of course, this is not the case, but it is hard to convince some people otherwise. All the facts have, however, now corae to the surface. The truth is the place owes $8,500 and has about .$2,500 of unpaid taxes against it; it is even worse off than that���������it owes $15,000 of flume debentures, and the old flume .for which the money was borrowed did not cost that money. But this is not all, there I is absolutely no way for recovery while j things are run as they are���������big salaries and high expenses at every turn, to meet sentiments. The situation is, the place has, and will have, revenues not exceeding$10000, and if the expenditures are not kept beiow these figures, it will only be going on from bad to worse. Our realty tax to depend on will not exceed $3,500 a year, liquor licenses $6,000, business licenses $250, and other revenues $250. Of this total, interest on debentures and sinking fund will consume $1,700 a year; water and light $1,800; fire department $500; public works $500; feed of city team $250; annual outlay on flume when extended $1,000; printing, stationery, postage and telegrams $300; hospital.grant and medical attendance $300. This brings expentures to $6,351, and leaves but $650 a year for salaries, fuel and other incidental expenses. Heretofore, and to the present, the council has been paying to an auditor, clerk, &c., 50 per cent, more than the work was worth, and observing but little regard for economy in the combination of other offices and incidentals. Looseness in these respects will bring even larger places than Sandon to grief. Drawing on license or other revenues to come in next month to pay past due debt is like a sleeping man pulling up his blankets to cover his head, exposing bis. feet to the weather. All of the revenues of the next six months will be required to meet future expenses, so that this is as affairs stand, an absolute deficit and no possible means of. pio-. viding for it. We are advised that some members of the council knowing the cocked hat into which the financial standing of the place has been thrown, intend to apply to the provincial government for aid. While matters are as they are they might as well keep their breath for their porridge. In defiance of the explanation of some members of the council, who suggested safety for the flume, they wasted $1,000 on a structure that lasted a week, destroying another party's sidewalk, for which thecorpora- tion will have to pay some hundreds of dollars. They wilfully pay much more for salaries to inexperienced men than competent, experienced men can be got to do the work for; they vote $900 at one stroke for a "smallpox?" bill in violation of the law, and some of the members sit at the board with a full FOOD MEDICINE Scctt's emulsion of cod-liver oil is equally food and medi- cine.

Others again take a declaration of office to work in theinterestof the place, and keep nothing before them but the pleasure, not of sensible members, but the noisy members, of the Miners' union, whose tools they are. Does any sane man think the goyernment dare throw money into a bottomless boot like that. There is now but one of two things to be done, either the people must elect as representatives fair mind- en men who respect the laws of the land and rigid economy in all departments, in the interest of the creditors, or the creditors must appoint areceiver. But one of the two things must be done, and the sooner a proper move is made the better for all concerned. - Houston is what a printer would call a double-leaded liar. He says the Mixing Review supported John Keen in the last election. In consequence of the plant being destroyed in the fire, the Review during the last campaign never had a line on the contest, and only published a small sheet at an outside office to meet the requirements of the law on certain advertisements. Houston was elected as a Cotton man, and had he stayed as elected, his paper would be getting today even fewer advertisements than the Mining Review. Aiter election Houston flopped and became a Dunsmuirite. The government now pays him for flopping in advertising galore. The papers.that were consistent and supported candidates in the contest who were Dunsinuirites are. left out in the cold. Dunsmuir & Co, appear to' have read the Bible saying "There is more joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth than there is over ninety and nine just" persons. The papers of these parts that have remained consistent are ignored by Houston and Wr. Green apparently, and the rewards are paid to Hoppers. Supposing the Mining Review did support Keen last year, Keen was a supporter of the Dunsmuir j^arty that that the Review now supports. The Review is then consistent, and for its consistency it should have the government favors. Instead of that they are given to turncoat Houston, as a reward for his Jim Crow flopping. A. R.

Houston is showing his teeth and declaring that the other unions of Nelson that are assisting the clerks in forcing the Thursday afternoon closing are doing a great injur}' to that city. We believe that coercion of every class is an injury to any place. When, however, a few months ago the miners were getting the help of business people to down the mine owners, coercion and even physical force were all right. The chickens aie coming home on Houston's head fast and furious. The Nelson Miner must be a very scurrilous print, as John Houston claims it has libeled him, and he is looking for damages. Any print that can damage John must be "a son of a " What is it John, you are quite familiar with the expression, you used it in Tol- rnie's presence ? The Miner says Nelson is going to have the refinery, and J. P. Graves says he is going to build a smelter and refinery at Vancouver. Where will Kaslo's refinery come in at with things this way? We should not think any one would be very anxious,to take a situation from our city council now. As we pointed out last week the liabilities now due are $7,872, with about $2,683 of assets, in back realty taxes. If $2,000 of this latter sum be taken for sinking fund there will be $683 left to pay ?5,872 of debts. It will take every dollar that will come in from every possible source between now aud January next, to pay back taxes, leaving not one cent to pay salaries or other expenses between now and January, which will run pretty well up to .$5,200. including sinkingfund and interest on debentures, to say nothing of rebuilding the flume and the Harris' sidewalk probably $300 more. If the flume be rebuilt, the liabilities will reach $8,000, and with nothing to meet them. The best thing all around is to place affairs in the hands of a receiver, and end the agony, as it will come to that in any event. ATLANTIC STEAMSHIP TICKETS .

[To the Editor of Tiik Mining' Review: Dear Sir;���������I notice in the Ledge of the 19th inst. a communication written 'by the principal of .New Denver public j/fichool re the recent High school entrance examination.' I have no inclination whatever to enter (Upon a newspaper controversy about 'the matter; but I deem it my duty to 'defend my pupils and myself against such misleading statements as Mr. Ir- vin'8 letter contains. He says that Sandon school has had .better advantages than Denyer school. This may be true to a certain extent, it has had two teachers for some time; but if Mr. Irvin will atop to think for a minute he will see that Sandon school has also had many disadvantages. A year ago last 1st of May the school in this city was burnt; and the pupils were really without a school until some 1 time in October, when the new one was built, and even from then to the 1st of January, for some cause or other, the attendance was very small. This is a hard place for a teacher to show very good results, as the population is not all permanent. Half of the children that ��������� were attending Sandon school before the fire have left for other places such 'as New Denver, which is fortunate enough to possess a more favorable loca- 1 tion, and better school facilities. Mr. Irvin states that the ages of my pupils ranges from 15 to 17 years. Now this is not so, as two were 10, two 15, and one 13 years of age. The youngest be- . ing one of the successful pupils.' Last year three candidates for High school entrance wrote from New Denver; three from Sandon, and two from Three Forks. Out of the eight candidates only one was successful; this one being a pupil of mine from Three Forks; my other pupil obtaining 48 per cent. This year the last mentioned pupil obtained 63 per cent., gaining 15 per cent, during the year. One of Mr. Ir- vin's pupils took 60 per cent, last year, and this year the same pupil took 67 per cent., gaining 7 per cent, during the year. ' ',,' ' In regard to the insinuation that the principal of Denver school has cast upon my having seen the examination papers before the examination. lean only state that such a statement is utterly false and misleading, and without any foundation. If I had seen the papers, and wanted to act dishonestly, I can assure Mr. Irvin that all pupils would have passed, aud with a much higher percentage. But sir. my pupils passed honestly, not with any pre-knowledge of the questions on the examination papers, but rather by means of hard study on their part, and by my untiring efforts. With me the interests of my pupils come first, my own second, and other matters last; and if teachers would fake more interest in the welfare of their pupils, and less in other matters, they would probably meet , with better success.

Kerosene might /ivcll be called the housekeeper's friend, for if it is used intelligently it is a great labor lightcner, and may be used to good advantage in the house, kitchen or hum dry. It is better than soap, ammonia," or alcohol for washing'mirrors and window glass. Add a few drops to a pint of clear hot wafer and wash the glass without using soap. Then wipe with one dry cloth polish with another, and the will be clear and bright. Ivcro- is excellent for cleaning iron or zinc lined bath tubs. First dip a cloth in.the oil, rub thoroughly over the surface, then scrub with hot suds. It is also good for cleaning oil cloth; clip a cloth in the oil and use the same as if using water. By this method of cleaning, the oil cloth will last longer and the colors arc preserved. But where it helps most of "all is in the laundry, as it whitens the clothes and saves rubbing if used in the right way. The best results are obtained when the clothes arc put to ; soak over 'night. It lessens the amount of rubbing" . that must be done the next day if .the clothes are put to soak over night in hike warm water to which has been added, a small quantity of household ammonia or of some -trustworthy washing powder. Clothes washed in the following manner arc beautifully white and clean, and there is not the slightest odor of kerosene about them, as it soon "evaporates in the open air. lithe clothes have been put to soak over night the next.morning put on a boiler of rain water and for every, pailful used add one tablcspoonful of kerosene and one of some soap powder. Stir well so the ingredients will be thoroughly mixed, and let the water boil before using the suds. Put the nice white clothes in the boiler without rubbing, and let boil 15 minutes, then take out, rinse in clear water, then in blueing water and they are ready to be ���������starched. Rub the most soiled spots from table linen and clothing before putting in the boiler, using some of the hot suds for washing. The suds is excellent for washing the most soiled colored garments, but nice colored garments should always have clean suds prepared especially'< for them, and it is best to wash them separately from the regular weekly washing. GREEN PEAS..' Ramekins of Green Peas: Cook the peas till tender, and season. , Place a layer of rolled cracker into each ramekin, bits o[ butter and a teaspoon of the peas liquor, then add a. layer of the cooked peas and bits of butter, continuing till they are full, and ending with the cracker crumbs Garnish by placing" upon the top of each dish three stuffed olives, just before serving.

So many pretty light flannels and thin woolen fabrics arc now offered for sale in stores that all .women possess one or more gowns of these and mothers find them very useful throughout the summer for children's wear. The only objection to them is the difficulty in getting them washed without drawing tip and fading, which is the fate of such articles entrusted to the ordinary laundress. These garments may be easily washed in the home laundry under the direction of an intelligent; housekeeper; hence it is well to understand how the work should be done. Flannels should be washed in warm suds to which a little powdered borax is added. Soap should never be rubbed on them, nor should they be rubbed on the washboard, nor between the hands, and dipped up and down until they are clean. . The suds should be squeezed out, and each piece immediately rinsed in water of the same tempera-: tureas the iirst;thcn wring again and hang in the shade. They should be removed when partly dry and ironed while damp, on the wrong side. If both colored and white flannels are to be washed, separate waters should be used, as that in which the white are washed will lint the colored. If much soiled, the flannel garments should fee well shaken and brushed before being washed. SUGGESTIONS FOR OHERItY SERT'S.. 1 D.E- is what all drinkers of Maohine-Made Tea get.

An attractive dish for a luncheon table may be made of lemon and The King is taking much interest in the contemplated extension of the Royal Library at Windsor Castle. It is situated at the west end of the state apartments, and overlooks the North Terrace. The number of volumes contained in the library is. estimated at 100,000,1 and they are daily added to. Many of these, as may be imagined, are of great rarity. There is a splendid copy of the famous Mctz Psalter, a unique Cax- ton on vellum, Charles I., Shakespeare, Mozart's first oratorio, a. letter of indulgence, from Leo X., papyri from Herculaneum, etc. On a lower storey is one of the richest and most extensive collections of prints in the country, including the Raphael collection, formed by the Prince Consort, together with more than 20,000 drawings of the old masters. The late Queen had also here a collection of about 1,000 miniatures, containing some of the very finest specimens. The rooms forming the library, have!' some interesting historic associations. - In one of- them Queen Anne war drinking tea when the news reached her of the victory of Blenheim; another .used to be the bed chamber of King Charles I.'s queen, and a third was Queen-Elizabeth's picture gallery. Queen Elizabeth used some of these rooms as her. private apartments, and one contains a very handsome stone chimney-piece, still in perfect preservation, which was made for her. The view from the window is magnificent, embracing as it does the whole of the west, north, and northeast of the country around the royal borough. The King has made a. minute inspection of the Gold Pantry, where the royal collection of gold plate, estimated to be worth ;S1,S00,Q00,-is kept in two large fireproof storerooms It includes' a dinner service of gold for 140 persons (added ���������' by George IV.), some thirty dozen plates, valued at ������10,000; a shield formed of snuff boxes, valued at ������9,000; the St. George candelabra; many beautiful cups, salvers, eperg- nes, tureens, etc. There are few antiquities in the collection, owing to the circumsta.n- ce of the royal plate having been melted down in the. civil wars of Charles I. There is, however, an ancient cup said to have belonged to him, and another said to have been Henry's VIII.'s. Nell Gwynnc's bellows are also preserved here. IT PAYS TO SMUGGLE CHINAMEN. largo Profits for Canadians and Otfctera Engaged in tho Busincsa. ��������� 'An investigation of the- methods! employed by the people engaged in smuggling Chinamen from Canada Lnto the United States shows that large profits' are made by them. The headquarters, of the smugglers are at Montreal wh'ere the executive force of the Chinese Smu'ggjtng Tirust is stationed, though its owners are the big Chinese companies of tho United States. . Chinese representatives in Montreal furnish to each individual China-man bound for the other side of the boundary line, by the underground route the necessary cash with which to pay for being smuggled through. ThL* money has. to be returned out of the first earnings of the immigrant, and as failure to pay would simply lead to the defaulter's being denounced to tho American authorities and expelled from the country, no risk is run by; the advancers of the money. The total cost of smuggling a Chinaman from. Montreal to the United States is about 13200, of which $85 goes to the individual who actually puts, tho Chimaman across the line. Foe a year or two there was' a lull itn the actual smuggling methods ad- opcea> ��������� autiing that period baing the swearing of their countrymen into the Uniited States by means, of-Chinese witnesses procured by border .law-; -yeira'.'-. The* discovery of the fraud in a few- instances, and the necessary ' locking up of the immigrants, dur- img the investigation of each case, in Plaiitsburg Jail, have, resulted in a return to the direct plan of smuggling.- ';..... The boldness' wibh' Winch' the white mua employed .in this business in Montreal are now acting, encourages the hope that somei of them may .fall into the hands of the United States authorities: ere long. Yet so well da they lay their plans', that in the last tern years; only two white-men of this class weir& ever caught red-handed by ; the United States officials, and thcFe two walked out of Plattsburg Jail one rainy night, about a month after they, ware captured, and returned to Montreal. ���������;���������������������������' ..,' ��������� ��������� ��������� ' '"'U' A STRANGE FLOWER.- One of the strangest botanical curiosities in the world is the "Wonder- Wonder" flower found in the Malay Peninsula.

Well, we believe it has, and so has the destruction of the Slocan. The one will no doubt compensate for the other. Jobbers and Retailers in Does it ever occur to Messrs. Green and Houston that if the owners got the same return for wage expenditure they got four years ago, and that the increased government tax was wiped out, all our mines would be running today to their full capacity.

HL Q-ieger^ioti, RECO AVENUE. W. E. Gooira, M. D., took a certain party into his confidence the other day, and told him all the statements in the Mining Review, with regard to himself and city matters, were a whole tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end. If this is the case, W. E. Gomm, M. D., with all his oratorical brilliancy should have no trouble in proving it. Come, W. E. Gomm, M. T>��������� let us have the proof: that's just what the people want. Head Office- Stores at -Nelson, B.C. Nelson, B.C. Kaslo, B.C. Sandon, B.C. Some people say they smell a revival of business in the air. As far as we can see things the revival is limited to the 8inell. One of three things has got to happen beforo business in the Slocan will revive. Either lead or silver has got to go up in value to the producer, or the government has got to relax its mining laws. The people are powerless to effect either of the first two conditions, but they can the third, and it remains to be seen whether or not they will stir in the matter. Of course, if men of the Houston stamp can help themselves they will hold the country down by the neck for the votes the destruction of business may bring them. Labor organizations have some very inconsistent streaks in their makeup. John L. Wilson, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trackmen, who has been inciting C.P.R. trackmen to strike, says the C. P. R. is paying higher wages than other roads, but this is not the question. "The question is, is the C. P. R. paying its men a fair share of the wealth they are helping them to create?" Then Wilson thinks hiring men is simply taking them into partnership. If this is so, and all partners are to receive share and share alike in all profits, with their employers, they must also share in losses when losses are the result of operations. To be consistent, Wilson should go down to the Intercolonial railway and tell the men on that road they must refund part of their wages to the government from the first, as the road has been run every year since its first operation at a financial loss. It Wilson wants .laborers to share in profits when they are made, he must also see they share in losses when losses are the result'of operation. There is nothing new in this principle; it has existed from the time of Noah. G. W. Grimmett wishes to announce he has escaped the foregoing disasters and is ready for business in the old stand.
