operation 1880 miles, leaving 1876
miles yet to complete, OF which the
Dominion government builds at its
own expense and transfers to US the
portion of road from Port Moody
to Kamloops, consisting Of 2l3
miles, thus leaving tor the company
to build 1868 miles; the resources
for which are tho balance Of the
cash subsidy from the government,
amounting to ST. 1924, ll2; the pro
ceeds Of land grant bonds not yet
drawn from government, amounting
to S13,19L,734' the proceeds Of
about $4,000 900 acres of selected
land, fit for settlement, which the
company will hold after retiring the
balance of the eXis,ieg land grant
bonds, and the proceeds of the $751;
100000 Of stock remaining to be is
sued, for which a syndicate has ust
been formed to take $4,000, 900.
The 1880 miles now in operation
consist partly Of the road built and
turned over TO the company by the
government; partly of the road ac-
quired by purchase, as stated in the
official memorandum which accom-
panied our application; and partly
of the line constructed by the CONS
pany. The latter portions and the
cost of the equipment Of the whole
line have been provided for by the
company from its own capital and
from the government subsidies ap-
plicable thereto. Under the general
law of Canada each railroad is au~
thorized to pay during construction
up to per cent. per annum to the
stockholders on their stock. The
company has paid 6 per cent. upon
the stock issued, but we propose
hereafter to only pay 5 per cent.
upon the capital stock, and that is
to apply to all the stock"

There has been commenced, in
New York, the publication of a Chi
nese newspaper, with Wong Chin
Foo as editor. He will dictate to a
Chinese scribe, who in turn will
print or paint it with India ink and
a pointed stick upon sheets of paper,
from which it will be photo>litho-
graphed and then printed from the
stone in the shape it is to appear.
The publishers say that type for
this process OF publication would be
impossible by reason Of it's great
cost. In the past it has been the
custom to engrave the whole of each
Chinese work to be published, be-
cause the GO, 900 word characters of
the language arc not represented by
type.

NAMED TO DO cut. A temporary
track has been laid over the Noun
tains at this point, pending the
completion of the tunnel. The coal

There is a rumor afoat to the
effect that the Marquis of Lorne will
soon retire from the Governor>Gen-
eralship of Canada. Such step
by the Marquis would be deeply re-
GREETED, as he has become endeared
to the people, and has discharged
the duties Of tho Office with great
satisfaction to the public and credit
to himself. The jovial Sir John Nc
Donald, the present premier, and
Lord Wolseley, who commanded
the British army in Egypt, are
spoken of as probable successors to
the Marquis. Speaking Of these
two gentlemen writer in the Ia
coma Ledger says: ave fancy that
even his best friends will be COM
PEELED to admit that Sir John is too
much zone of the boys to support
the Office with becoming dignity,
however much his political ability
and services might seem to fit him
for the honor. A much more likely
man to succeed Lofne is Lord
Wolseley-better known as Sir
Garnet. The appointment would
be very appropriate, for it was in
Canada, on the occasion of the Red
River rebellion, were he first distin.
guished himself, and began that phe
nominal career of easy and I'M
broken success, which has given
him the somewhat sarcastic nick
name Of 'Lieutenant-G General Luck.
He is man of very exceptional adj
ministrative ability, and is possessed
of personal qualities which will b.
sure to render him popular, al
well as efficient, Governor. General.

A Point ON Perjury.

On one occasion, says Oakley Hall in
his "reminiscences, q witness, to all
moral conclusions, periured himself.
and yet he seemed cool and natural.
Presently the recorder Of the court
turned in his peculiar, affable way, and
said: my friend, the room is not hot,
the day is cold, and yet You are in .
perspiration, are you not?" There
were no signs of this, but the witness
instantly caught up his handkerchief
and began to mechanically wipe his
forehead. "Are you ILL: You look SO
paleY" He responded by turning pale
and gulping down some water. Here
the counsel for the defense showed
signs Of wishing TO interfere, being
afraid Of his witness breaking down !;
but the recorder interposed with /:
Sorry to have agitated You, but my
duty is like yours" (the recorder had
an impressive voice., TO ascertain
nothing but the truth and the whole
truth" Then the witness turned and
said: "Please let me go; am indeed
ILL.," His testimony was withdrawn BY
consent. At the conclusion OF the CASE
the recorder said to me: Il knew hs
was committing perjury, for he had. {
peculiar tremOr of the eyelids, which
for my nearness to o witness, I car
always see. And this tremor may gen
orally be noticed in men and, womer

stards the mining business. A shaft
is sunk to a depth of LIS feet on the
vein. Levels were run out at f1fty
and one hundred feet to ascertain
the character and extent of the ore.
The ledge has Uniform width
of four and five feet. There are
about 200 tons of ore that came out OF
the shaft and levels on the dump.
Mr.. Abernethy is confident that he
can sort fifty tons of 800 and 400 on.
rock for shipping from this 2OO-ton
dump. The expenditure for purchase
and working so far, has been between
$1,000 and $4,000. Mr.. Bass, says he
had no idea it would cost so much
the only put his shoulder to it to help
it along. But the work already done
has demonstrated that they have a
mine that will pay even with sorting
and shipping in the absence of
mill. They are now stopping and get

serve to succeed, and it is matter OF

that they have succeeded.
