THE KASLO MINES.

An Encouraging Letter Received From
Across Our Northern Border.
A private letter from Kaslo, B. g., to a
gentleman in Philipsburg gives few
ideas as to the condition Of that country
at the present t1me Everybody seems S
to think, the writer says, that the coun-
try will boom in another summer The
Kaslo City railroad is making fair pro-
gress. The right. .of-way is almost clear
the entire distance, and the engineer has
gone over the road for the purpose Of
experimenting the bridge work, crib
work, etc. The Spokane Northern rail
road has been completed and is now run
ming It's trains on schedule tune.
Among the mines there is not much
activity, yet there Is good reason to be-
l1eve that the opening Of spring will find
considerable work under way. The sur
prise mine, located near the Washington.
was recently sold for 6O,OOO-one-half
cash, and the balance to bepaid in thirty
days. The Sapphire has also been sold,
for $4,000 cash.
The removal Of the tariff will no
doubt make this good field for invest
ore. Mr.. Finch, European capitalist,
has bought a number of mining claims
and proves to be very energetic man.
| received THE PH1LIPsBURG MAIL,
and was very glad to get it; will send
you by this mail the Kaslo Examiner
and the Nelson Tribune. They will give
you more news than I can begin to
write,

Country Before Parry

Bitter Root Times: The Atchison,
kas., Graphic, a popu]ist paper, finds
that many sincere men who believe that
the populists are honest and earnest in
their friendship for silver are neverthe-
less opposed to the adoption of other
populist ideas. Such opposition may be
due to prejudice, but, says the Graphic:
I'VE must take people as we find them.
Thus 1t might be that reorganization
and change of name might lead to i'm
mediate success. We are willing to say
that IT such action will advance the
masses one step, we are in favor Of it. Tt
would not be retrogression by any
means. We might gain some new blood
and skilled leadership, and take the op-
portunity to lop off few faulty limbs
and get rid Of some rubbish that is now
impeding our progress. A mere objec-
ton to changing the party's name savors
too much of that to which we often OBJ
]ect IN others-more loyalty to party
than to country. The new movement
may be mere breath, or the silver men
men may conclude to come into our
camp and make assurance doubly sure.
Whatever. may be the outcome, let us
stand ready to forward any good work
Be patriots, not partisans. The time
calls for true and steady hands, clear
heads, and broad and deep statesman
ship.

Mark Twain.

Mark Twain's hair has grown white
and his physique is not SO stalwart as it
was a few years ago, but his mind is as
juvenile as ever. He has a hacking
cough, which, when he gives way to it,
is almost convulsive in its tendency, but
the humorist seems entirely Indifferent
to its violence. He sat in il prominent
New York club a few days ago, running
spasmodically from one story to another
and commenting upon the talk of his
companions, with perpetual smile lurls-
ing around the corners Of his mouth.
Yet at short intervals he was bent over
almost double under the violence of his
cough. When his companions referred
to it, as they did on one or two occasions,
Mr.. Clemens seemed quite unaware of
the fact that he had been arousing good
deal Of sympathy as well as incessant t
laughter.

The Congo Railroad.

The opening Of the first section of the
Congo railroad passed almost unnoticed
in this country, chiefly because it is due
to Belgian enterprise. But for all that,
British traders already realize the vast
possibilities involved and are actively
to obtain share of the new
trade. The road at present extends from
Matadi to Kenge, and thence will be
pushed as rapidly as possible to Stanley
pool. The list of freight charges has
been published in the chief European
ports, and two British and one German
line have made Matad; a port
Of call. It is confidently predicted that
a Congo boom is about to commence,
and that King Leopold will soon be
within measurable distance Of reward
for his courage and patience.

Drained q Lake by Boring Holes.

In Florida Life is an article from the
pen of B. W. Partridge of Monticello
with the above title. In it he describes
the effect Of the drought of 1901 on Lake
Miccosukie, one of the largest lakes in
middle Florida, when about 5000 acres
OF water became dry land for spell.
The rainy season of 1892 filled it with
water again.
Mr.. Partridge conceived the idea that
the lake could be drained by boring holes
in its bottom and organized company
to try it.
Experts were engaged to examine and
report on the plan, and the result was
that the company has bored number of
holes in the bottom of Lake Miccosukie,
and the water is rushing down through
them via a subterranean passage to the
gulf In a few months they expect to
permanently drain the lake and THUG re-
"crTA~ 10 600 acres of valuable land.

A Chinese Exodus.

Prominent Cinnamon ON the Pacific
coast are predicting big exodus Of their
countrymen from this continent and all
other lands to the Celestial empire within
q year or two. They will go to be pres
ent at the big fair which occurs there
once in 60 years and at which every sub
Ject OF the great emperor tries to be pres
ent Hundreds of thousands, maybe
millions, of Chinese from all parts of the
empire and theworld will be there, saws
Interpreter Pom Sc Of San Francisco
"All nations will be invited and every
body ought to go, for it will be the sight
OF a lifetime" The fair, he says, was
founded many centuries ago and has been
held regularly since. He is not sure Of
the exact date, but is within two years.
Great preparations are being made for it
all over the empire, and announcement.
nf it will soon be made to the world.

FARMER And SILuKR
Why He Should Be a Free
Coinage Advocate.
FARM VALUES BASED ON SILVER
The supply of Wheat Has Decreased
Since 1854, While the Population
of the World Has Increased and
Wheat Has Deprecated One-
Half on Account of Silver

In 1873, when the white metal was de-
monetized, the silver dollar was worth
three cents more than the gold dollar,
since which time silver has gradually
depreciated in value, and along with it
wheat, cotton and all kinds of farm
products. until now nothing remains to
the farmer or miner of remuneratiye
value. The following statistics clearly
prove that the characterization of silver
has carried with it the depreciation of
all kinds of industrial productions Of the
country, and brought about crisis
which no one can prophesy the result.
In 1884 the worlds supply of wheat
was 9o,69o,00o bushels; 1885, 2,1o4,-
034,000; 1886, 2,198,o97ooO 1887, 2,227,-
415,000; 1888, 2,150,063,Oo0; 1889, 2067,-
$4,000; 1890, 2,111,927, 900; 1891, $685.
$4,000; 1892, 2,253,86o,0o0. Ihe year
Of 1884 produced larger visible supply
than the world has had since-and since
that year the worlds consumption has
greatly increased. Notwithstanding,
wheat in 1884 brought S1.1O per bushel
and to-day, with more densely popu-
lated world and a smaller product Of
breadstuffs, wheat is quoted in Chicago
at Sc cents per bushel.
Is this partly caused by a shrinkage of
money values brought about by short
money medium and partly by specula-
ton in silver by Europeans who buy our
silver at few cents an ounce and make
3 good profit by having 1T coined into
rupees with which they buy India wheat?
Let the American farmer study the sill
YER question.

Mixed the Brides.

While two wedding professions were
fighting for the road at one Of the gates
Of Hankow the chairs holding the brides
got mixed and each lady was taken to
the wrong bridegroom. The gentlemen
never having seen their brides before,
according to Chinese custom, knew no
mistake until the mothers of the brides
came to call upon them. Then it was
found that one Of the brides, who was
rich and intended for rich husband, had

The problem remains unsolved.

An Artist In Snow.

A young artist of Boston, after the re-
cent snowstorm in that city, made a
snow model in one Of the public squares
that attracted much attention. It rep
resented a girl dressed in the height of
fashion, standing with her arms folded
At her feet crouched bulldog. The i'm
age was modelled in elaborate detail,
and though the thaw destroyed some of
the fine lines succeeding cold weather
preserved the figure. a young Swede,
John Jepson, was the sculptor; he spent
about three hours on the work. He is
hoping for another snowstorm to enable
him to put up a snow statue of sorae
prominent Bostonian on the Common.
