The euit of Henley vs. Reco Mining Company was-settled without any evidence for tlie defensei being submitted: Had the case been fought to a finish tho evidence would have been decidedly interesting. As it is, the story of the visit of Lew Houck, the king of gamblers and card sharpers, to Sandon, will not be told in the witness box; unless it should come out in' the course of a -new suit instituted after the settlement in Henley vs. Reco. The case opened yesterday morning when court resumed. ' D. W. Henley, of Spokane, the plaintiff, was represented by L. P. Duff, of Victoria, and R. fc>. Lennie, while defendant company was represented by W. A Macdonald and N.'E. Nnyum, of Spokane.' J. Morgan Harris, president of the company, was in attendance. The morning session of court was devoted to the examination of plaintiff Henley, who is a Suokane attorney. His story was that became into., possession of the Reco stock given>by Harris to Houck and Arthur, through advancing'money to the latter, and that he was entirely unaware of the facts which placed Arthur in pos- - session ofthe ..certificates. Witness was subjected to a Jengthy cross examination, but his evidence was not impaired. When court opened Mr. Macdonald applied for leave to amend his defense, by adding a clause to the effect that the were not valid because thev lacked the war stamps demanded under Ihe State of Washington, and also putting in certain by-laws of'the befendant company. The application was refused because these matters were not included hi the original defence, and would not, even if set up, determine the real question in controversy. After the noon adjournment the litigants cairie together with their counsels and agreed on a settlement. Plaintiff received^under agreement one block of .3,500 Reco shares and the costs of the action.' The second block'of 2,600 shares in dispute is to be returned by Henley to "'S.T.'Arthur without prejudice to "the latter's claim, if any exists. Then J. M. Harris commenced action against Arthur and the Reco Mining Company, to , .compel Arthur toi deliver up the shares to be cancelled, and to prevent the company from, honoring the certificates. Judge Walkem approved of the settlement, remarking that the evidence of tlie plaintiff was so clear and straightforward as.toremove all, doubt as to his bona,fides.���������Tribune. Development on the Reco. Mr. Harris to a Tribune reporter: In connection with the recent strike.on, the Reco property at Sandon, ' J. Morgan Harris, president of the Reco Company, gives some details of interest. The strike was made iii the lowest' level on the property, a tunnel having been driven to tap the rein 200 feet lower than had been reached previously. Somedifficulty was encountered in finding the lead, a couple years elapsing before it was definitely located. The leadjs oniy 12 icehes wide, but in places it is solid galena carrying silver up in the thousands of ounces. At other points the galena is mixed with sulphide of porphyry. Where the galena is clean no assays are taken, but at a couple points where it was thought to be indifferent in quality samples were taken and gavere- turns 414 ounces in one instance and 549 ounces in another.:. Mr. Harris was notified of these figures on Tuesday. He states that it is possible to secure assays of 10,000 ounces at almost any spot in the mine, and that.assays of twice this amount7 are not uncommon.., The property has not shipped extensively in the ordinary sense of the term, its mining season being limited to a few months of in each year. Great bulk in shipping is not essential to the prosperity of a. property like the Reco, however, when the average carload gives half a ton of pure silver. One banner car ran 500 ounces over a ton.of silver bullion. The total output of the property has been $550,000. Mr. Harris states that the company will recommence.-��������� mining in December and will take out ore for two or three months. Mr. Winstead left a strike was reported on the Sunset of 18 inches of high grade ore. This was in a different part of thc mine from where they they were already getting out ore. They also had two carloads of ore mined and ready to ship. Mr. Winstead reports that the Sunset mine on Jackson Creek has been'sold to George Hughes for $10,000 cash. It was sold by Spokane parties. This is a silver-lead property, and will net $2,000 a car. There is one carload ready to ship and enough ore in sight to pay for the mine. fllNES AND fUNING. mines From Far and Near. Queen Dowager Margherita, of Italy, has just completed the distribution of her personal ^effects and has finally retired from the world. Pier 300 snperb costumes have been apportioned among her friends.' Immediately after King Humbert's'funeral she sent to ''the' museum at Florence the .exquisite embroideries which made'so 'fine an exhibit at the Chicago exposition,'and all her jewelry has been given; to relatives. Young Queen Helena has' received Margherita's royal diadain, valued at nearly two hundred thousand dollars. Sir Francis Plunkett, the new ambassador from Great Britain to Vienna, will be-more pleasing to the Austrian court because of the fact that he is a Roman Catholic, and the first diplomat of that faith to be accredited to Vienna for a long time.. Sir Francis entered the Bervice in 1855, and bis record as a diplomat covers secretaryships to the legations at Yeddo (1873-70) and Washington (1876-77), the mission plenipotentiary to Japan (1883-87), and the Swedish mission which he filled trom 1888 to 1893. Since the last named year he has been minister to Brussels. Sir Francis is tho youngest son of the ninth earl of Kingall. Lady Plunkett, his wife, was a Miss Morgan, of Philadelphia. The Arlington since resuming opera tions- has shipped 700 tons of ore. So far this year the Rossland have sent out 170,000 tons of ore. G. T. Kane thinks he has a tin mine of great value in the Dayton group, near Kaslo. The Enterprise has shipped over 1,000 tons of ore this year; and its! staff is to be largely increased. Silverton has about 120 miners at work altogether, while the Payne alone; at Sandon, has more than that number. Ore shipments from McGuigan for the month of October v. were: Rambler 178; R.;E. Lee, 22; Soho, 2L%. Total 221^ tons.. ;'��������� The Bondholder, nf-ar New Denver, has resumed shipping after ft long rest. Its last shipment ran 218 ounces of silver to the ton. In one of the' Emily Edith^s tunnels the ore body is 16 feet across. The entire property, is now showing up in most satisfactory form. Y The second payment has been made on the Fletcher group. This is a gold property, and was reported to have been sold for $30,000., The owners will start work in a short time. The Corinth mine, near the Queen Bess, after being idle for the. most part of several years, started up a few weeks ago with a force of ten men. They have now over five tons of ore ready to ship, and expect to ship from 200 to 300 tons this winter. The ore body is a very valnable one. The mines around Slocan City, Silver- ton and New Denver are keeping up | their shipments. Last week the Arlington sent out 40 tons and the Enterprise 20 tons. During the winter the Hewitt will make a considerable showing in the shipping list. It has 160 tons ready to send to the smelters. W. R. Winstead returned last Friday from Whitewater, B. C, where he is extensively interested in mines, says the Spokane Chronicle. He reports the outlook in the Slocan is better than it, has been for the last two year's, The day, THE LOCAL GRAFT.

The C. P. R; agents at Cran- brook and Moyie made up their minds to do up the railway, and. this was .the modus operandi. One agent would ship goods to the other town without making any entry in the books, and .the agent receiving would make out regular expense, bills and collect the freight; When it came to dividing the spoils they fell out, and one complained on the other, leading to arrests and trials. . It may bo of interest to some of our readers to be informed that voters ia the coming Dominion elections need not necessarily go to the local' constituency in which their names are registered to poll tlieir votes. For instance if a voter, now in the Slocan, is registered at Rossland, he can vote in the Slocan. In other words, a voter registered in the Yale-Kootenay constituency can vote in in any part of the riding. ���������'��������� ��������� ��������� j The Methodist congregation of this town is making an effort to build a house of worship that will cost about $1,700, when completed. A parsonage has already been purchased at a,cost of $950, and the lot upon which our church will be erected, cost $500. Upon these properties there is some indebtedness, but we wish to open our church without any incumbrance,upon it whatever. Knowing that.the fire must have seriously affected the .resources of many persons^we have7 decided not to make an individual appeal. We do not wish to tax your well-known liberality, but we would at the same time beg leave to urge that, our enterprise receive your attention, and whatever support you feel.inclined to give. Any contributions will be thankfully received,by the members of our Trustee Board, and acknowledged in our reports issued quarterly. A. M. Saxdford, 7 Chairman of Board. G. H.

The Madison: This property purchased by the Slocan Sovereign Co,, of Mentreal, about a year ago, is situated as the crow flies, about one mile to the north ; of Sandon. , It consists of ^ a eroup of five claims, of which, however, the Madison and the Argenta are;the only ones on which any extensive work has been done. .. The Madison has now three tunnels in 425, 170 and 95' feet respectively, and is without wenzes or upraises. So far it has shipped, no ore, but has quite a quantity on the dump. Lately in prospecting, a vein of. very rich cube galena has been found in a cutting. No regular work has been done for some time on the property. Considerable work is now being done on the Argenta, a staff of ten or twelve men being steadily employed. The property has five tunnels in 800, 225, 200, 95 and 75 feet respectively, with 325 feet of upraises and 50 feet of winzes. All told some 45 tons ot ore have been shipped from the workings, with an average value of 135 ozs. silver and 10 per cent, lead. The general impression is the property will prove a valuable one. Sandon Ore Shipments. Sandon pre shipments this week were: Payne, 399; Last Chance, 99; American Boy, ; 19; Slocan Star, 40. Total 557 tons. Y.

IL Is probably the basis of civilized society, it is certainly the culminating- point of all stories, and tho points of scenic arrangement and dramatic effect receive much attention from romance writers. In fact I am free to confess that I had not reached my twentieth-birthday ' without having- occasionally dreamed or tho hour when Sir Launcelot would come riding down. I even pictured in fancy the gorgeous drawing-room (not our own) or the romantic .glen, when a manly voice should repeat nonsense and plead for the boon of my regard. He should plead in right good earnest, too, for it was my privilege to be delightfully cruel once in my life. The girl of the period is much 'too easily won to be valued. My lover should fully appreciate the worth of my consent, it would be so long withheld. But in my most improbable fancies T had never imagined the possibility ���������that upon a wild and terrible February ntsrht, on thc way homo from the lecture of a popular humorist, as we clung- together nnd hobbled over the icy pavement, Frank Moore should remark, ln his usual terse, practical manner : "I've been promoted, Kate. I'm junior partner now. and father has given me entire charge of the warehouse. That means a great deal to mo now." "I suppose so," I answered, intent upon balancing myself. ��������� ���������Yes���������hadn't . we better take the middle of the street here ?���������It means enoug-h for two, if she isn't killing J rather���������well���������childishly for a girl of your age ? You are not children any more, and yet you tilt and quarrel as you did ten years ago." ��������� "Fred Moore Is the most disagreeable young man in town. He is a perfect bear and I detest him," I girl, and dropped his' eyes. "Good night ; call me_if you need help." When we were alone In the blackness of the night, with the water climbing up the starway and beating against the doors, I could have cried out in my longings for the suf exclaimed, unbuttoning my boots with! flcient presence that had been our re- extravagant. I shall go east the first of April. c Can you get ready to go with me by that time ?" The suddenness of the suggestion and the high wind took my breath, but T was able to answer with groat dipnity, "No, I think not." "First of May, then ? " "No, sir." "Good heavens! You don't mean to say that, you won't have me,' Katie?" Why couldn't he call me Katherlne, as I made every one else do, and spell it with aK?: ������������������ ;'��������� ....--.. "You don't mean to say that you thought I would ? "���������''��������� < -i ''��������� " Why, no, I���������well���������yes, I rather thought that you might." I could not see Fred's face in the Egyptian darkness; the. little quiver in his voice I did not notice until I recalled it afterwards. We were both so occupied in keeping our equilibrium that neither could analyze the mental a vigor that sent the buttons flying across the room. "Katherlne !" cried mamma, "you are abusing your most faithful friend. He has been like a brother to you for years. You owe him too much to say any such thing." '��������� "I know he has teased and worried and scolded rme as devotedly as the most horrid brother would have done." \ "Katherlne, you shall not go to that skating rink another night. It makes you nervous and cross all the time. I knew you couldn't stand' It." I vouchsafea no reply, but stretched out my slippered feet to the fire and meditated. We sat in silence for nearly half an hour. ��������� At ,the end of that time there was a ring- at the door-bell, and when I opened the door there stood Fred Moore. A flash of triumph came over me. He had come again. I knew he would. Now he should make love In the most approved manner, and he would, for he looked so grave and resolute. He stepped into the hall, saying, "I came over to give the warning. Rob has just telephoned up to get ready for a flood. The river is on a tear and is rising fast. It, will be as bad as It was last year, and perhaps worse." '"But it 'won't come up to Third street," I said. * It is over Second now, and rising. Front and First are six feet under. It is coming fast. Full up your car- I pets, there's no time to' lose. I will get help for the ' piano arid heavy things if I can, but there's such a panic, I may not be able to. Hurry now," and he vanished into the darkness. We tired to think of the most important things to do, but found ourselves with trembling, uncertain haste, doing the least necessary. Fred returned very soon with two or three strong men.^ and under his uuick, business-like directions; preparations were made like magic. The piano was hoisted into wooden chairs, the library taken apart and packed'upon the din- ing-table, the carpets were piled upon these, arid the parlor furniture Was carried upstairs. Mamma and I .bus-I led ourselves in carrying provisions j and cooking utensils up to my room, which had a grate, the others being heated by registers; In twenty minutes the cozy sitting-room looked like the debris of a hurricane. Then a thin stream of water came under the state'of the other. We walked on in front hall-door, for our house was low silence, and I was obliged to depend upon Fred's sustaining arm more than ever. I wondered if he had expected me to be so anxious to take the "trip" with him. that I- could, accept his loveless, unromantic proposition. How I wished that I could tell him, that my heart was another's, but it wasn't, and he knew it. I might have said in calm kindness that we should always be friends as ln the past,,but^he gave me no opportunity. ��������� His only further remark being. Y'What a.'thundering .night!" a striking figurative one, by the way. And I vowed a vow, in the depth of my injured fancy, that .before, I said "Yes" to Fred Moore that easy-going young gentleman should literally go down upon his k^s In the most approved' manner,$pn*d tell me that he worshipped the ground I walked upon, and that his only hope of life was in my smile. I meant that he should - do It, too. If I was hot too. lightly won, neither was I to be lightly dropped. He left me at my door with a quiet "Good-night. Katie," and a moment later I heard the great hall-door of. the Moore mansion slam with, much energy, and then the well-known liKht appeared ln his own room. Mother7looked-up as I entered, and asked "Why didn't Fred eome in ?" "I 'didn't ask him." T "* shortly. "Don't you think you I returned treat Fred and old-fashioned. Fred turned to mother on the stairs, saying; "Mother is anxious to have you, come ovet and stay with us until the danger is over. She does not consider it safe for you to - stay here alone, es^ pecially as you are so delicate, Mrs. Burhett." Mother was about to accept the Invitation, but I answered from the top stair, "Oh, no, we shouldn't think of such a thing. We are perfectly safe here, and we have everything we. shall need." - "You will both get sick or lonesome," said Fred, pulling his cap over his eyes, and ' looking at mamma. "No, we are accustomed to livlns alone. You had better come upstairs, mamma, I urged." She came, reluctantly, up a step or two. - Fred came upon the lower step. : "I shall leave my window open, Mrs. Burnett. It is not over ten feet from yours and if, you should want help just make a noise. I shall hear you. Good night." . . "We shan't disturb; you, my dear boy, we are so much indebted to you already," said mother in her sweet voice. "I shall not try to thank you," | liance for so many years. What would life be to mother and me without Fred Moore ? One foot on the parlor floor stood the water, two feet, three !' and the piano began to float; the library .was bumping around the dining-room. The 'current had grown swift in the street and all night long came cries for help from boatmen who were upset by lhe whirlpool at the corner lamp-post. ' We could not sleep, but, like thousands of others, sat by the fire and awaited the worst all that weary Thursday night. It did not take many of those waiting hours to show that I had loved Fred Moore all my life. A childish terror lest he should die or be drowned or go away before I could see him overcame me. Higher and higher swept the flood. Another foot would reach the parlor ceiling. The frail old house shivered as the waves beat against it. At last the gray, awful dawn of that February morning revealed the "abomination of desolation" that had been wrought by the angry river. A turbid yellow lake lay between us and the brown tops of the hills���������a lake that was navigated by a'pitiful fleet 'of lost houses, homes to which some of -the inmates wore yet clinging as they swept on .to destruction.. How, long before our home would, be swept from its foundation and'swept down the river?. Mother looked wistfully at the staunch brick walls only twelve feet away, but twelve miles would not have seemed farther then. She busied herself about breakfast with the calm adaptability of her nature. It was hard to think that she had ever cooked upon anything but a smoky grate, or .used a larger table than the toilet stand that she spread with a towel. , Suddenly she gave a cry of alarm, "We forgot the bread, dear." "Make pancakes, then. I brought up flour," I suggested, in my -, miserable idleness, as I curled up my hair. "Did you think of baking powder?" '. "No, nor soda." "What shall we do ? " , ��������� ., , ���������*,-������������������, '"Hello," cried a voice. I ran to the window. '' ' ������������������' "How are you this fine morning? Got plenty to eat,?

Y '���������'"'���������",. . "Now catch them ; or starve," he called, as one by one he fired them into my hands with the accuracy of a baseball pitcher. "Shall call for you. to take a walk this morning; don't forget your rubbers, {it is damp/' 'This was. an example of the execrable jokes, that flew back and forth . during the day; but they, had a''mission, for we < should have died of pure misery if we hadn't joked.: A slow rain fell most of the day, and the river rose several inches before nightfall. We slept that night from sheer exhaustion, and the next morning looked upon the terrible, flood that, had wrought,such havoc. Our own hastily-gathered supplies began to fall, and Ave hailed the news that 'the Government boat was on its way- up the river, and the sufferers would be fed. We had not yet considered ourselves sufferers. Looking out at a sound, we saw Fred shove a long plank from-his bay-window to our verandah roof and walk , across upon it. Tapping at the window he entered, saying-: ��������� "Mrs. Burnett"���������all his,, communications were addressed to mamma now ACHE If you have Backache you have Kidney Disease.

How good the Moores had always been to us. When Fred put his arm around me to help me In at tlie.window I warited to tell him how sorry and ashamed' I was for my speech of Thursday night, but he helped me down and hurried back for some of our treasures. The house was rocking plainly now���������it swayed with every wave. "Oh!. Fred, Fred, come back; it is not safe," I called. He came to the window in answer to my call. "Dear old home," moaned mamma. "I was married there, and my children were born and died,; there, and '7 husband lay in that very room." and she waved; her hand in a piteous fare.- :, well.!

Sho would be a protty little housekeeper, no doubt; keop tho place neat and spotless, and cook the daintiest little dinners in tho world. But would tho average man be content with that ? Does he marry oecauso he wants a cook or a kind of suporior housekeeper? Let us have a better opinion of him than that. He marries ' because he wants a wife and a companion, and as long as things aro fairly comfortable, he is not particular aa to the condition of his home���������in fact, he objects to fjussiness, and grumbles at having to change his boots or clear up his papers. A pretty wife does not satisfy a man nowadays. ,Ho wants to be entertained and amused. To be happy, he must havo a smart wife, a lively wife, and a wife with plenty ot fun as well as cozmnonsense. h'or that ho has to seek further than tho girls who have lived a butterfly existence at home.

" You would got tired of her in a month. Take my advice, and when you do marry, choose a wife, whose charm lies in her self-helpfulness and her, developed mind. Select a wife for everything but her ignorance, and you will not go far wrong." And there is a great deal of truth in this.

The girl he has married is vain, simple, and Darrow-mind- ���������sd. She has but few ideas in her head; and those he knows by heart. He cannot imagine h'ow. he could possibly have been attracted by such a very uninteresting woman. Yet she is as pretty and as well-dressed as when ho first saw. her. Thus the girl who spends the best part of her li'fe in a city office has far better prospects of married happiness. The strain of daily travelling , and close work may have stolen the bloom JCrrorn her cheek; she may make hideous failures in her first attempts at cookery; but she has every advantage of keeping a man's affection.

Tlie Mining Review. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1900. THE ELECTIONS. As far as visits from Candida' eS'go, the people have but little to show 'them an election is pending, Mr. Foley, the Labor candidate, being the only one who has visited tlie place. All the same, however, a general election is on, and the people are to say whether or not the Laurier,government is to be given a new lease of power., Although some features of his administration have been very fair, he lias seriously disappointed even many of his friends, and defections have followed by the wholesale, John Charlton, the veteran standby, being one who has left his leader.' There is no doubt but,'that after all the promises about free trade, the country had a right to expect something 'different froiii tlie old national policy practically retained. Y The N. P. was an advance of duties to prevent Canada from being flooded,with American products at slaughter prices; and the assertion that they have lowered tlie duties on British goods is no assurance they have carried out their pledges. They used, in opposition, to tell the farmers of, the eastern provinces they were robbed by the Canadian manufacturers,, because competition from the States was shut out by the extortionate duties, and after five years of rule the agricultural implement duties remain in most cases unchanged, hay actually raised iii some cases, and so all along 'the line.. '��������� ��������� . . . Again, the pre-election pledges were jobbery and corruption would be put down, and still it is known scores of Mr. Sifton's friends have become wealthy by one haul alter another from the Yukon cow. Even Mr. Sifton himself, who compromised with some of his creditors be- fore he became a memberof the cabinet, is nowc< known , to be a wealthy man, though at Ottawa he gave party after party,' that it was known should have consumed most if not all of his salary. Exactly how all this wealth passed into the pockets of himself and friends, we do not know; but the mere fact it is there iis proof the.;i'igid economy promised in opposition was never practiced in office.

Mr. Foley, the Labor candidate, says he is not educated, but has common sense. It is not every man's fault that he has not received a good high school or college education, but if a man is not well posted on all public matters, in this age of cheap books and cheap papers, it is absolute evidence lie is lacking in tbe qualiflcutions that are necessary to make a good representative in parliament. College training does not give a man the incentive to acquire information, it only assists the natural abilities of the man ; and without information and knowledge no man can properly discharge the duties of an M. P.. It is not enough for a man to say he is a working man and knows the wants of the working men���������-he should also know whether these wants are just and fair, and if they can be satisfied without infringing on tlie rights and liberties of others. In doing this he must be familiar with the history of his country���������its legislation, past and present, the legislation of other countries, bearing on the issues and how they work���������the conditions and surroundings fully considered. If Mr. Foley is familiar with these matters, the mere fact of whether or not he is a B. A. from college is a matter of secondary irnT portance. The ivelson'\Tribuno represents tliat as the rest of Canada goes in tho general elections On the 7th inst., so will this province go on the 21st. This is a very strange system of political morality, to say the least of it. For instance, it is well known to every..well informed person in British Columbia, that, this province never got money grants or public works in proportion to the revenue il; gives the Federal treasury. It is just as well known to the people, tho province is unfairly treated in representation in the House and the cabinet by the present government.
