Three Rich Strikes. Mining Around Bear Lake. The London Hill will be started up again sometime after the 15th of this month on account of the demand for dry ore. About $15,000 . has 'already been expended on the property, on which 1037 feet of tunnelling has "been driven. There are two .veins of good dry. ore insight. A large block of treasury stock has been put on the market to raise money to carry on extensive development at.the mine. This winter the ore will be rawhided to the K. & S. railway track for shipment. A. B. Docksteader is Boundary section, and are as dull there.as here.

There are now 2,000 tons of good grade ore ready for shipment. The last payment on a bond on the Belfast and Phoenix claims was met a few days ago by the owners. John Potter, John Knight and Wrrj. Ecdes to Arthur Mullen, who was the original owner. These properties adjoin the Monitor mines at Three Forks. The bond was secured three years ago, and since that time $2000 has been spent in development. A 300-foot tunnel has been driven on a well defined ledge, which is three feet wide, showing up a small quantity of carbonates. One of the most important matters in connection with mining during the past few days has been the strike at the Surprise mine. On this property a new ledge has been discovered, and so far proven for a depth of 50 feet. It consists of an ore body from 18 inches to 2 feet in width, which assays up close to 300 ounces silver is to the ton. People who have been at the property say it it- one of the prettiest showings in a district noted, for good showings. The vein has been traced for a considerable distance on the surface and it is said that the Noble Five ground catches a good deal of it. Thc Noble Five has made two important strikes within the past few days. ,They have reached the- Last Chance ledge, for which they have been driving a crosscut for some days, and found a body of ore. Besides this, they have uncovered what they believe to be the large vein of the Surprise, that has crossed the apex of the hill. They have made three or four surface cuts, and encountered the ,ledge in each, carrying a vein of high grade ore. In each cut it increased in thickness, being over a foot in the lowest one. It will lake further work,; however, to show the real value of the discovery. Work is going ahead well and confidence in this well-known property is rapidly being restored. ' 'These viens, it is thought, are a continuation of the recent rich strikes made on the Surprise on the other side of the mouiilain. A very rich strike was made on 'the Wonderful this week. A ledge twelve feet wide containing galena, clean ore and carbonates, was erioouiitred close to No. 2 tunnel near the surface of the old sluicing.

A Miner Killed at the Rambler. Three Forks Mining1. The Monitor mines are working with an average payroll and are just doing development work. At the present timo the shipments aae few, but when the rawhiding commences lurge outputs will go down from tIic_.rii.iio regularly. There is a big body of ore in sight, according to statements made by people who have visited th������ property. Four cars of ore were shipped to the Hal of operation at Dawson City. Mr. Scott from Skagway has taken charge of bank here. . ��������� ��������� There was a bar-room light on Sunday in town in which one man got his leg broken, and no word of a policeman around. If this had occurred in the days of Stubbs, there would . have been no end of changes rung upon the incident. On Monday evening the young people of. thecity, to the number of 35, took possession of the residence of Mrs. Cliffe, and held the fort till midnight. The old man went to bed early, and gave them all the scope in the world, which they employed to advantage. ,A dreadful accident occurred at the Rambler-Cariboo mine near McGuigan on Monday night, by which J. Trusch,a Swiss miner, lost his life, arid Fred. McDonald received severe though not serious injuries. As the two men only were on the scene of the accident at the time it took place, no one except McDonald knows how it occurred. He says it was simply by their remaining too long after the torch was applied, and not giving thein time to escape���������that no blame attaches to any one else. Tho deceased was known as a-sober, industrious man, and had considerable money saved in the two or three years he was around these parts. His only relative known of here is a brother in business in San Francisco. When the accident took place Dr. Power was telephoned for but refused to go. He has not said so, but we fancy his reason was he does not, want to be mixed up in business considered to belong to the hospi.tai and its mamurement. Dr. Gomm went out, but the man died in a few minutes after he reached there. Ho was so smashed up by rock, that no medical skill could have done anything for him even if on hand the moment the accident occurred. His remains were brought to town and inferred by the Miners' union on Wednesday in the Sandon cemetery. McDonald is in the hospital, and will, it is thought, be around in a. short time. The mine was closed for two days to do some fitting up work, and gave all hands a chance to attend the funeral. The Whitewater mine tons of ore for September. Last month's shipment from Three Forks were: QueenBess, 45 tons; Monitor 135. The Alhambra group and the Helca, promising prospects at Sproules aie to be opened up. Four men stared up the Bondholder a few days ago. This property will be developed all winter. At McGuigan the Sunset sent 20 tons of ore to the Everett, and the Ramhler 40 to the Selby smelters the past week. The Hartney group closed down for a short time, and will resume operations again when Chas. Sandifcrd returns from the coast. The Slocan Star mine is to increase their output to a car and half a day. The force is likely to be largely increased in a short time. The Fisher Maiden' is to be .worked this .winter.with a large force of men. A new bunk house and other buildings will be put up at once. ": Mr. Warner says that the Mountain Con has IS inches of good ore in sight and development is being kept up by a small force. A quantity of ore is being sacked which will be brought down and shipped next week, A force of 40 men are working at the American Boy. ��������� Large quantities of ore are being sacked. The shipments are avering close to 200 tons every month and netting an average of ffSO a ton: Alex. Smith says thatthe Summitand Bird Fraction properties have proved to be among the best in McGuigan basin. The workings are down 40 feetand there are two and one-half feat ore in sight, steel galena and carbonates. Seven cars have already been shipped, netting returns that will pay for all past development work, besides leaving a balance on hand for future operations. This is a good showing for prospects. John L..Retallack returned to ICaslo on Tuesday. He expresses himself as well satisfied with the way in which the Washington mine is turning out under his system of development. The property remained idle since IS98 until Mr. Retallacksecured a lease and bond upon it this summer. He is now working a development crew of 12 men on it. During the course of the past month he has taken out three cars of high grade ore which is now on the way to theNcl- pon- smelter. The ore carries 100 ounces in silverand in the neighborhood of GO percent in lead. Just what his programme for tlie winter is depends very largely upon how the property continues to open up and the condition of the metal market. Mr. Retallack says the outlook in the Slocan is much brighter than it has been for some time.���������Tribune- Sandon Ore Shipments.

Prof. Matthew Flinders Petrie Sums Up the Latest Evidence. Prof. Matthew Flinders rciric, in a lecture in London, summed'up in a few sentences of intense interest tho latest evidence of ,thc antiquity of the human raco. Antiquarians now have to deal with Egypt alone. There is an unbroken chain of historic record from 5000 B.C., besides actual objects which carry history back 2,000 years further, thus giving 9,000 years to' human history; but this is yet far from the bctrinning. There were traces which showed that civilization must have come from another country, but where no one has the slightest idea.. Thc earliest graves have iigurcs of a race of bushmen of a type discoyercd similar to those found in France and Malta... proving that the race extended from Africa inlo Europe. Then there are figures of women who were captured from still earlier "races, .which probably wero of the palaeolithic age^_^pyog.d this ttjero was a time when the climate of Egypt was totally different from to-day. when a rainfall fertilized what is now a desert, and when animals, of which all trace has been lost, inhabited Lho country. ' Other lands might show the ago of man lo be more remote by physical evidences but nowhere could wo feel more plainly the certainty of lho antiquity of man than where 9,000 years' continuous remains did not yet bring us into lho vast periods of those clinmtic nnd geological changes through which man had kept up the chain of life to the present day. ^ I-TIS ONE SUCCESS.

THE DUTY OF THE PRESS.. ��������� The Nehson Miner does not think thc Mining Review's charge that the preps of this province is not doing its duty properly is well founded. It all depends on the "hisses worn. No one denies that the press has very well done its , duty in so far as representing (he resources and capabilities of the pio- inee is concerned; but how can it be properly conducting its columns in labor troubles, when two sections of it take the opposite extremes. Coininon sense and experience prove that iu nearly all conflicts between capital nnd labor the truth is somewhere between the extremes of tlio sections. ��������� The mines of this province are today to a large extent closed, and all because of depreesing legislation, and there are papers, in the country defending most strenuously every enactment of which the mine owners complain. Instead of taking up all the circumstances and conditions associated with mining in this and any other country for the purpose of mnking honest comparisons and fair criticism; a section of the press is straining itself out of existence to find one feature of. 13. C. legislation more favorable to operations than thc same feature in any other country and proving its auath.mas against the mine owner on its findings. As we see matters it is the duty of the press of the province to be honest in this matter, uninfluenced by prejudices or personal feelings, for political ends, and deal with all the facts fairly, leaning to the aide of the mines when leaning at all, as the prosperity of all the other interests of the country is depending on the advancement of mining.. How many of the papers, when editors are politicians or vote hunters, are doing this? The late memorial of the mine owners to the government embodied some inaccuracies, but why is not a laudable effort made by the press to carry out its recommendations, where it presented facts? It showed, for instance, it is too young in the history of operations in the country to impose the double tax on output, as the mine owners have to pay heavy duties into the Federal treasury on most imported machinery; it showed that recording assessments, crown grants, Ac, is heavier beie than in other countries, which is admitted by the ���������press, but no laudable effort is made by it to secure a diminution of these burdens. The memorial showed that there are penalty clauses in our eight- hour law, embodied in the laws of no other countries, and no effort is made by the provincial press to secure their modification or removal. Why should it bo necessary to impose humiliation on the B. C. people, miners as well as mine owners, that is not imposed in any other country under the sun? No one will deny that if the coun try is ever to get out of its present rut of inactivity, it can only be done by removing the legal impediments in the way of active mining. To tell outside capitalists that the province is rich in minerals, and that many of the properties have paid subtantial dividends is not aiding in the removal of hampering legal restrictions heavily felt, under the low prices of products. Let the press of this country say tho mine owners must have fair play as well as the men; that A DELICATE CHILD/ Let a delicate child take a little Scott's -emulsion of cod- liver oil after breakfast or dinner-���������not too much���������too .much will upset the stomach. Better too little than too much. The effect will be slow; it ought to be slow. In a week, you Avill-jsee it began the first day. Don't be in a hurry. We'll send you a little to try if you like. SCOTT & J.OWNE, Chemists, Toronto. we must have mines as well as miners; that the country must be opened up by the removal of all retarding legislation, and that with work plentiful and business in all lines active, miners' chances for permanent employment at the highest wages aro much improved.It appears has been for years in Canada one government owned and operated a road ���������the Intercolonial, and it not only has never paid its way, even at, the ordinary, .railway rates of the country, but in j every election it is tlie scene of more political scandals than all of the other roads in the country combined. Under the spoils system in force in thc country at every change of government:, all its offices and industrial operations are filled- with the party hacks of thc doninant party, and the <.,onnlry,.8u(l_rs accordingly. Any observing man should see Canada wants no more of this. "Competition" too has furnished its lessons to observing Canadians, and especially to taxpayers. All Western Ontario is mortgaged to tlio hi It to bonus i competing roads that are now practically under one control. The mortgages are there "for keeps" and'the "oompe- tioi." has gone "where (he woodbine twineth." . Manitoba had but one railway for the first ten years of its railway history, and in that time freight ratas were reduced 50 per conf. Rut like Eve of old, Manitobans wanted to grow wise, and have railway competition. They, or ralher the politicians of the province, racked the country to its foundations in competition cries, till Sir John A. Macdonald made an arrangement with Lhe C. R. I.. by winch tliey to us that if the press would do its dutiy in these vital respects, the , yielded up their monoply rights, and country would speedily show its appreciation in unsurpassed prosperity. pro- gov- RA1LWAYS. One section of the press of this vince is shouting itself hoarse for eminent-owned and operated railway.0, while anoth.ii is prepared to go almost any length for "competing" roads. Experience and object lessons by the score appear to be of no service to the editors of any of these prints. There He lias to. "make hay "while the sun shines," no matter how he feels. The result is overwork. The stomach usually gives the first sign of strain. The organs of digestion and nutrition are deranged. Food does not nourish. Indigestion appears. In such a case Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery re-establishes the health by a complete cure of the diseased organs of digestion and nutrition. It cleanses the stomach, purifies the blood and removes the causes of disease. It is a temperance medicine, and contains no whisky nor alcohol. "������I was troubled v.il'i iiirlijjeslion for about two vears," writes .Wm. Iiowker. _.������;., of Julia-tie. "tatnli Co.. Idaho. " I tried different doctors and remedies but lo.no avail, until I wrote to Dr. Pierce and he told me what to do. I suffered with a pain in my stomach and left side and thought it would kill me. I am glad to write anal let you know that I am all right. I can do my work now without pain and I don't have that tired feeling- that t used to have. Five bottles of Dr. 1'iercc's Golden Medical Discovery aud two vials of his ' Pleasant Pellets' cured me." Sick people can consult Dr. Pierce by letter free, All correspondence private.

In short sodisapointed havethe peopleof that province grown in not getting in the N.P.R. what they bought and paid for that they the past year have gone up to their necks in debt for a third R.

If Bill wants to come in and' build lineson his his own account without aid, there is no very strong reason- why he should be prevented from doing' so, but the government that promises aid will only rivit another millstone around tlie neck of the country, though it has now more than it can reasonably carry.

We cannot persuade ourselves the council's systematic "pulling" ol* these west-end houses commends itself to the best judgment of the Sandon people. If the idea is to exterminate the evil, then go at it in a way to do it't-flectually by imposing penalties, the unfortunates cannot stand.

Here and Therei Thanksgiving day comes on Thursday, November 28th, this year. Lady MinlD laid the corner stone of an hospital at Kcvelstoke on Monday. We'll bet our last cent there are-a dozen ladies in Sandon who could have done it as well, but none of them were called on. The Similkameen Valley Coal Co. have bought out Smith Curtiss' town- site, Copperfield. It will be amalga- niated with Ashnola, as it is along side, and the combine will be called'Ashnola. Development work on the coal fields has been commenced. Another terrible mine disaster occurred at the Extension mine near Nanai- rao on Monday last, by which upsvards of 17 men lost their lives. It appears a lire broke out in one of the stopes of No. 3 mine by some means not very well known, and in half an hour it had made such headway that it spread into the airway and workings, which made escape impossible. .Sn_.ellfur.gus of Nelson says that because the sawmills cannot sell all their lumber they have as good a right to complain of taxes as the mine owners of the double tax. That genius it appears cannot learn it is the mining that moves the whole business fabric of the country. If the government would only remove the cause of mining inactivity, neither sawmills, men nor anyone else would have cause to complain, of busi- ness'dullness. The Nelson chap cannot ���������see it is poor policy to stand on stickles and justify them when their existence is boxing up the whole country. A singular instance of how doctors differ occurred in this province some daysago. A man met with an accident to an arm and went to a.doctor, who told him tlie arm was broken in three places. He then attended to it with the usual splint bandages, the man was told to rest till the bones knitted and the cure was complete. The arm, however, grew so painful the man could not endure it, and he went to another doctor, cele brated a as surgeon, who upon examination found there was no sign of a fracture any where in the arm, nothing beyond a bruising and loceration of the flesh. The second doctor dressed the arm, and as soon as the flesh could heal the arm became as well as ever. Certificates of Improvements. NOTICE. Morning and Bendlgo Mineral Claims.

KEEPING THE HEAD CLEAN. Keeping the head perfectly clean is t x great aid to health. An exchange | tells of a distinguished physician, | who, having spent much of his time .'at quarantine, said that a person [whose head was thoroughly wa.'.hcd : every clay rarely took contagious j diseases, but when thc hair was cil- i lowed to become dirty and matted it' J was hardly possible to escape infec- saucc or melted j tion. Many persons find speedy re- with a. dash of ]i_f for neirvous headache by washing the head thoroughly in weak soda water. Wc have known cases almost wholly cured in ten minutes by this simple remedy. A friend finds it a great relief in cases of "rose- cold," the cold symptoms entirely leaving the eyes alter one thorough washing of the hair. Thc head should b_ thoroughly dried afterwards, and drafts of air should be avoided for a little while. A Joy and. Treasure When Good Matured and Healthy., All children in every���������',home in the country need at some time or other a medicine such as Baby's Own Tablets, and this famous remedy has cured many a serious illness and saved many a. little life. Mothers insist upon having it because it con-- tains no opiate or harmful drugs. It is purely vegetable, sweet and pleasant to take and prompt in its effect. For simple fevers, colic, . constipation, disordered stomach, diarrhoea',' irritation accompanying thc cutting of teeth and indigestion, Baby's Own Tablets arc a certain cure. In fact in almost any disorder common to children these tablets should bo given at once and relief may be promptly looked for. Never give the babies so-called soothing medicines which simply put' them into an unnatural sleep. These, tablets are small, sweet, pleasant to take and prompt in acting. Dissolved in water, they will be taken readily by tho smallest infant. Mrs. John M'cEwan, Bathurst Village, N.B.,- writes : , " My baby was almost constantly troubled with colic before I gave him Baby's Own Tablets, but since giving them to him he has- not since suffered. Every mother should keep these tablets always at hand." They cost 25 cents a. box. You can find them at your druggist's or, if you do not, forward the money direct to us and wc will send the tablets prepaid. The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Dept. T., Brockvillc, Ont.

At a meeting he rose to say a >few words, and said them to some purpose wh_n he asked a. vote of thanks to be given to the chairman for his "r.fliciou_- ncss in the chair."

In England, 515-of every 1,000 people are women. million- extend a helping hand to hundreds of fellow-creatures,, but it is something greater to have invented an industry which ^provides thousands of men and their families with daily bread.... It is computed that nearly 2,000,- 000 men, women, and children depend for their daily: bread upon making typewriting machines, and all these people are therefore living on thc ingenuity of' one man, Sir Charles Wheatstone, for it was he who, fifty years ago, produced the first real writing-machine, of which the modern typewriter is but an elaboration. Tens of millions of dollars have been made by mechanics who have developed the idea from which thc Wheatstone typewriter evolved,, and the machines produced have saved thousands of years of the world's time and affected commerce in all parts of the trading world. Yet the Wheatstone was a very unhappy-looking' machine, and failed to put a cent into the pocket of its inventor. A somewhat similar industry is the sewing-machine trade. There arc hundreds of thousands of families supported by this trade, and gigantic fortunes have been made by men who have succeeded iii producing improvements, of the machine. Wilson,- the father of thc sewing-machine, invented it more than a hundred years ago. Thc sowing-machine is generally supposed to be an American invention, but, like the typewriter, the reaping-machine, and a host of other labor-saving appliances, it is only American by improvement, being thc invention of an Englishman. One of the biggest fortunes in thc United States is due to the idea Wilson had in mind when he contrived his unwieldy stitching-machine; and to Howe, who about ' fifty years later improved upon Wilson's idea and produced a lock-stitch machine. It is"said that the trade of which Wilson's crude machine was the germ is represented by an aggregate capital of about 5100,000,000 ! Whereas Wilson never benefited to the extent of five cents by his machine, Howe reaped a fortune of 32,500,000 [by practically forming the huge industry with his lock-stitch improvement. Owners of Precious Bicycles���������Why and Where They Were Made. ��������� To the average man, who very properly thinks a sum of $50 a sufficient price to p������-y for his bicycle, there is more than a suggestion ' of the mythical, in thc stories of bicycles which cost their owners ' far more than if they were manufactured in solid gold, says the London Daily Mail. ' There is, however, at least one bicycle in existence which is worth four times its own weight and two- thirds of its rider's weight in gold. In its original form, as seen at the Vienna Exhibition, its value was only ������500. It was purchased by a South African millionaire, who was so struck by the beauty ,of its lines that he spent no fewer than ������26,- 000 in adorning it with costly stones���������diamonds, rubies, and emeralds���������from the handle-bar to spokes an..: wheel-rims. An almost equally sumptuous machine is ,i.n. the, possession of an Indian Rajah. This bicycle is literally decorated with "the''wealth of ��������� Or- mus or of Ind." Every part of it is thickly plated with pure gold, and ei'ery part is encrusted with rubies aim turquoises, even the saddle itself being a marvellous mosaic . of these precious stones. A BICYCLE OF GOLD. The wife of one of the Russian Ambassadors, a man of immense wealth, is said to have a bicycle made entirely of 15-carat gold, whilo each handle bears her monogram and coat of arms in-emeralds ana diamonds. The actual value of the metal in this remarkable ��������� machine is at least $5,000; and its entire cost was 19,000 roubles. From bicycles as sumptuous; and costly as these to thc pet machines of some of our society lady riders is a great drop. Some of these machines are most exquisite productions in silver and ivory, and can be bought for tho comparatively modest sum of ������500. The frame of such a machine is plated with silver, chased in beautiful designs. . The cranks, pedals, and. handle-bars are of pure silver, and the handles arc of ivory; while the saddle, and tool bag'-'1 arc of morocco, with so.id sil- v.-r mounts.' The Sultan of Morocco has a coolie-cycle, which is as remarkable' for .���������- its size as for its costliness. It is no less than 30ft. long, 6ft'. wide, and 7ft. high, and is propelled by coolies. The framework is nickel- plated throughout, rind the body of the "cab" is beautifully decorated in green and.gold. For this truly remarkable cycle 81,575. He also possesses plated throughout studded with vnlue of this the Sultan paid a bicycle thickly with gold and precious stones. Tho beautiful machine is Good mortar [least one-third must te_ consist of at Of 3,491 millions of British capi- said to be at least ������5,000. ' GERMAN MUSICAL BICYCLE. Perhaps the most remarkable' of all known machines is the "musical bicycle,"'which is appropriately "Made in Germany." Attached to the handle-bars is a kind of glorified barrel- organ, which is worked by the front wheel of the machine. When the rider begins to pedal he sets this truly dreadful machine in motion, and his spirits are exhilarated by an endless succession of operatic and dance music, which might well convert'a sane rider into a raving lunatic withing thc limits of an hour's journey. The tiniest bicycle in the world is the property of Count Magri, tho well-known Italian dwarf, who not only succeeded to the mantle and fame of Tom Thumb, but married his widow. Thc Count's bicycle has wheels ten inches in diameter, and it "turns the scale" at ten pounds. As the Count is only a short head taller than a two-foot rule, even this lilli- putian is' quite large enough for comfortable riding. A very remarkable' contrast to this is that of Harry Lyo'ps. While the average rider is- content with a gear of from sixty to seventy inches, Mr. Lyons prefers one of two hundred and eighty inches, and finds that he. can use it with perfect comfort and .Y������- .

I have often wondered, said a leading official of St. Mart m's-lc-C. rand, ' London,' that it has never occurred - Lo anyone to -write a book on the comedies and tragedies of telegraphy. It would certainly be more amusing than some of the books which pass as humor nowadays. Can anything, for example, be more ludicrous than this true story'?. A business man, when he was touring in a distant part of the country, was horrified at receiving ' this ��������� telegram: "Your wife has had a child. No danger need'be anticipated unless it is followed bv another shortly." Here was a "bolt from thc blue," with a vengeance; , for thc good husband was by no means expecting an addition to his family. He took tho first train home, which he reached in the very early hours of thc following morning, only to find that his wife was suffering from a slight '' chill, which meant a few days' confinement to bed at the worst. The telegram was received exactly as thc doctor had written it, with , this exception, that the word "chill" had been converted by the operator ' or receiver into "child" with disastrous and alarming consequences. It was simply, the omission of a "dot" that did it; for, according to ��������� the code. "1" is represented by a dot, clash, dot. and the letter " d " by a dash, dot, dot. ANOTHER HUSBAND had a similar scare a few months ���������ago. He had arranged for his wife ��������� to call for him and drive him home after business hours; but .his programme was upset by this telegram: " "I flee with Mr. A. to Dover straight. Don't expect mc." ���������What, could a jealous and alarmed husband do but take the first train to Dover to stop the fugitives? It was late that evening- when he reached his home in the last stage of fatigue and despair, and to his'amazement and relief, found his peccant wife there awaiting him in a great state of alarm. : Happily this tragedy ended in farce, for he learnt that his wife had simply been drinking tea with an old friend, and that her telegram as written was: "I tea with Mrs. A., Dover Street. Don't expect me." , Only the other day a. poor woman received this telegram from a foreman at the works where her husband was employed: "Your husband nicely crushed to death. Come at, once if you wish to see him alive." Surely a more heartless message was never received by anv wife. The poor woman made her way to the scene of the tragedy as fast as a cab could take her, and found that her husband was not only alive, but ��������� had a fair prospect of recovery. The telegram, as sent by the indiscreet foreman, read thus: "Your husband nearly crushed to death," the word "nearly" being changed into ly" during transmission. One of the most amusing of perverted telegrams was that from India by a ^ress agency, published,in nearly alb thc En agination of thc editor. What tho telegram thus freely translated really said was: "Zulus have taken umbrage; English forces ha.vc had to retreat," a- very different message indeed. . It was not the same sub-editor, but another, equally imaginative, who startled the reading world one day by announcing "A Terrible British Catastrophe. 2,4.68 soldiers killed." Thc only authority for this alarming announcement was a cablegram for the casualty list: "Casualties, killed, 2.468. Private Smith." 2,46S being, of course, thc number by which thc unfortunate private was identified. Occasionally very strange telegrams result from the blending of two distinct messages, where the operator has hail to pause after sending part of a. message, and on resuming takes up another form. Thus a lady received from her absent husband this message: "Sorry can't return to-nigh I. senriiiig feeding-bottle": and an old lady who wns expecting two of her grandchildren by rail was horrified vto receive this telegram: "Children coming cl.dO : can have dozen barrels at 25s. barrel."

A vast amount of enterprise and Sl.1,500',000 has already been expended towards this end and the demands for'space have while Gcr- forced the authorities to still fur- argest in- ther extend their plans. The, south is taking a new start ; they need many" things that wc ;can supply. Our corundum is rapidly taking the place of the failing supply from 'Georgia.' Arsenic, the only manufacturers of which in America at this time are situated in Deloro, Ont., is required in many branches of the arts and they will undoubtedly require our nickel in the manufacture of nickel steei. Undoubtedly a portion of the splendid collection of material in the Mines and Forestry Department of Ontario at thc Pan-American, if !removed to Charleston, would con-, itinue the good work of bringing our ! resources to the notice of the world iat a proportionately low cost to thc I province, as thc railroads are owning practically rree'transportation. Canadians wiil be glad to learn, on the authority of Edison's Electric Superintendent at the) Pan-American that more specialists from Mr. Edison's laboratory are on their way to Sudbury, where Mr. Edison has rented a house and office and intends conducting exp.ri.ucnts with Canadian nickel ores.

Sm-llfungus, of the Nelson Tribune, now learns that Freeheville, the lately arrived English director of the Le Roi mine, endorses Manager M_I)onald'_ actions towards the Miners' unions, and he has litterally grown wild with rage, threatening to lick everything in sight, including wasps, hoi nets,'cockroaches and piesmires. Here among other things is what he says: "But, then, what does it matter, so long as a few gin-guzzling managers and superintendents and directors succeed in making white men in British Columbia as denendent as , blacks are on the West Coas't of Africa." It is misreprasentation and falsehood like this all along that has created the antagonism now known to exist in the province between capital and labor, where all a couple of years ago was the best of good feeling. Houston knows as well as any man can know, no mine manager in B. C. ever tried to make men work for him on his terms; but can the same be said of prints like the Tribune and the unions on the other side? Have they ever employed steps to force mine owners to' pay the .wages the men ask? Have the latter ever tried to prevent the mines from being worked, when the owners found themselves unable to comply with the wishes of the men? It may be that if some of the 'mines were less heavily stocked, and the directors less liberally paid, they could meet the demands of the men and pay dividends besides; hut these things are beyond the power of the Canadian people to regulate. "What the public would like to know is: Are the press of the country and the public men doing what they can to find work for the labor of the country? Are they advocating a diminution of Federal duties that the mines may yet machinery as cheaply as American mines get it? Are they urging as cheap registration and crown granting as prevail in other countries? Are they advocating the same conditions in the eight hour that exist in other civilized countries? Are they demanding, equitable provincial taxation with other taxable property? If they succeeded in these respects, and as they would succeed with united effort, it would be immaterial to the Rossland miners whether the. Lc Roi was operated at all, as there would be so many other old and new properties working that men would be in demand elsewhere, getting every cent the mines could pay them, and no fair man could expect more. Can smellfungus understand things this way, or will it be necessary, to open his prejudically tree pannd brain and show him there are ways of getting votes from the labor element besides through hoodwinking, lying, deception and fraud.
