the richest silver fields in America and its
natural outlet is through Spokane, so that
the United States will derive most of the
benefit of its development.
Fred T. Kelly, who has been in that
country during the four years that it's
resources have been known, is at the
Palace on q visit in search of a little city
excitement after staying for months in a
town called Sandon. 1t was built last fall
on the snow and now has q populatian of
700 with full expectations of 1000 before
next September.
'The average payroll dumped into that
town is between $4,000 and 100000 a
month" said Mr.. Kelly. "This last win
ter we had twenty-three paying mines
round our camp, and all within two or
three miles of it. There are others COM
ing to the front every day. This winter
will see the number of dividend-producers
doubled.
what is better 80 per cent of all the
mining properties is owned by Ameri-
cans. They control the best mines.
British Columbia laws are very favor
able to miners; much more favorable than
our own. Then there can be no labor
troubles or strikes. The Government will
not allow them.
Everybody connected with a mine or
engaged in mining there has to pay a
Government tax of S. year.
1.-THE mineral belt of this district is
about 8 or 10 miles wide by 80 or so miles
long. 1t is very rugged, mountainous
country, the hillsldes being at an angle of
As degrees. There are no farms. 1t is
strictly mining country.
1.-THE winters are not severe, although
it is pretty far north. The average temper
ature during the cold season is 10 degrees
above zero, but IL is so high and dry that
you do not mind it. In winter there is
plenty of snow - between fifteen and
twenty feet
at is the finest trout fishing country in
the world. The lakes and streams are full
of fish, and there is any amount of grizzly
and black bear. Down by the lakes there
are deer, and in the mountains there are
carriboo.
There is plenty of water power. Most
all the mills are operated that way.
II have bought the machinery for an
electric plant that my partner and in
tend to have IN operation in Sandow within
the next sixty days. 1t will be run by
water power.
About 100 milessou of the Slocan dis
trict is the Trail Creek country, which is
100 miles north OF the international
boundary line. 1t is a large gold and
copper country. The ores there average
about $50 gold and from to IL per cent
copper. That region has developed in the
last year more even than the Slocan
country, because everybody is looking
for gold.
"Rosslandi a town Of 5000 people, is the
center of the Trail Creek district In time
it must equal Butte, Mont, as the lodges
are very large and strong, and are I'M
proving both In richness of ore and size of
leads as the mines are deepened.
There are numerous other mining
camps in British Columbia ad lacent TO the
SLOGAN country and Trail Creek district,
and they are all coming to the front fast.
In the two large districts there must be
10000 miners at work, most of them from
Spokane and Montana.

SYSTEMS.
Methods of Establishing Tele.
phone Companies
Exploited.
What the New York Advertiser of
May "a Has to Say on the
Subject.

Regarding the establishment of new
telephone systems the New York Adver-
tiser of May IA says:
Several ways and means have been dis
covered for making and losing money by
phones since the expiration of the funda-
mental telephone patents. One way is to
start large and imposing concern with
nominal capital enough to run the United
States, acquire few obscure detail patents
and then sell stock and State rights to
credulous investors. Another is to start
local company and put in plant
bought from one of the various telephone
construction companies that have bios
somed forth from electric-beiI makers es-
adjustments during the last year or two.
Still another is to organize one of these
construction companies and trade on the
in experience and lack of technical knowI.
edge of the managers of the new telephone
companies by supplying them with phones
and materials of the quality and design of
the year 1880. A few men get together
and organize, making themselves presi-
dent, manager, and SO on. The business of
their lifetime may have been medicine,
law, livery stables or groceries, but with
the few thousand dollars they and their
friends have got together they purchase
lei6puOu0 pldHb ITOJn one OF J0e various
mushroom construction companies that
have appeared in anticipation of just such
customers. By appealing to popular SEN
timent against monopolies and to the love
of cheapness, and by abstaining from any
thing in the nature of signed contract,
they secure q mum ber Of "subscribers''-
that is, persons willing to allow them to
put phones in their houses and to make
verbal agreement to pay 81 80 or 90 month
for the service. The wires and cables are
strung; the phones put in place generally
by inefficient inemen unable to
keep a regular job); the central is
fitted up, and then the troubles
begin. The wires won't work, the
switchboard won't switch, the phones
won't talk, and of course the people won't
pay. The worthy president and general
manager are helpless, and the only thing
they can do is to send for an expert of the
construction company that has already
vlctimized them, who proceeds to suggest
alterations and additions involving more
outlay. This is the history of several
small telephone companies in towns not
very distant from New York, and of many
in Western States. Those who without
technical experience or training embark
in telephone enterprises to-day are simply
setting out from the point that the estab-
lished concerns started from when the
telephone was a novelty. Their money,
or the money intrusted to them, will be
sunk in trials and experiments ana in ac-
curing the experience and knowledg ge of
the business, which, so far, remains the
monopoly of the old companies"
There is food for reflection in the fore

"Then you went on to say" said Critten-

Baldwin said ne didn't think so but she
had been writing like that to him and he
thought he ought to respond in kind.

very improper to do SOL

Baldwin, a little testify, and every one,
including the plaintiff, laughed.

called upon to elucidate his epistles when
Judge Slack was called away to attend the
Grand Jury. He adjourned the case until

Tariff Bill Sbupted.

Washington, Feb. 25.-Senator Mor- Till to-day formally moved to bury the Dingley tariff bill, which has been pend- ing before the senate since the Christ mas holidays.
 The venerable chairman of the com lnittee on finance stated that he still believed that the government needs ad- ditional revenues, but 1t was evident that there was no prospect of the bill receiving favorable consideration at this session. He therefore moved to proceed to the consideration of the bill
 It was noticed that nearly all the democratic seats were vacant, while the republicans were present in force. Messengers were sent out in all direc- tions to hunt up and bring in the ab- sent democrats.
 Senators Carter, Dubois, Mantle, and Teller continued to vote against taking up the bill.
 The populists also voted against the bill, 50 that the combination success fully destroyed all prospects for a tariff bill during the present session.
 As the roll call proceeded the demo- crats came into the chamber, and the temporary fear that the Morrill, mo- ton might carry was thus dispelled. The vote as recorded was B to 22 against taking up the bill, so that the tariff fight is over for the present.

Great Crowd About he Bow Street Folice
 Court--The Charge Against Him.
 London, Feb 25.-Dr. Jameson land ed at Firth. on the Thames, by means of a tug, from the troop-ship Victoria his morning and took train for Lon don.
 The excitement here is very great. A large crowd assembled in the vicinity of the Bow street police court early this morning, rumor having been circu- lated to the effect that Dr. Jameson had been in London at a leading hotel since Sunday, and that he was to be arraign- ed this morning. As the time passed and the prisoner did not appear the ex- citement increased, and there was much cheering and shouting.
 After having traversed a circuitous route in order to avoid the crowds as much as possible, pr. Jameson arrived at Bow street police court at 6:25 p. I'll. He was loudly cheered on entering the court room, the entire audience rising when he appeared.
 In the police court Dr. Jameson and fourteen of his fellow prisoners were charged with warning against a friendly state.
 The case was eventually adjourned for two weeks, the prisoners being ad- mitted to bail in 92,000 ($10,000) each.

The Story of
 Puritana.

Prof. Dixi Crosby, M. D., IL. D., who for thirty-two years was at tho head of Dartmouth Medical College, belonged to the famous Crosby family of physicians, which forseveral gener. adons has furnished more distin- guished medical men than any other family in America. His father was Dr. Asa Crosby, of Dartmouth, who procured tho charter of the State medical society, of which he was for thirty years Q conspicuous member; ono brother, Dr. Josiah Crosby, ir- vented tho invalid bed and themethod of making extensions of fractured limbs by adhesive strips; another brother, Dr. Thos. R. Crosby, was chief surgeon in Columbian College Hospital during the war, and later professor of animal and vegetable physiology at Dartmouth College; while Dr. Dixi Crosby himself was the inventor and discoverer of various important improvements in medicine and surgery, including Q new and unique mode of reducing metacarpo- phalangeal dislocation, opening of ab- SSSoo esu Atp-JOilIu, OtSs3 ClCs
 At the early age of twenty-four his extraordinary skill and success in over coming disease had already attracted the attention of medical men through out the world, and won for him the highest honors. His greatest achieve inent was the discovery of an original method for perfecting and compound ing in permanent form what has be- come known as his ss prize formula" and which, under the name of Puri- tana, is legally protected.
 The foundation of this remarkable medical discovery consists Of simple New England roots and herbs, and tho original family recipe for it has de- seconded to tho long line of Crosby physicians from their Puritan ances- tors. Its peculiar vegetable compost ton rendered it necessary to brew it whenever needed in the early days of its history, and after the scattering of the Puritan families to remote locali- ties, where tho necessary ingredients were not to be found, many attempts were made to put 1t up in permanent form, all of which failed until Dr. Dixi : Crosby discovered means and methods, the result of which is: Natures Cure compounded in Che laboratory of Cou1nan,a Sense.
