A lats London dispatch says: Lord

oriil in favor Of Anglo American arbi-
traion of the Venezuelan question
adopted by the peace society at meet
ins in Queens hall. The reply is adj
dressed to Rt. Hon. James Stansfsld,

at the meeting. Lord Salisbury said:
JHNlad to be able to inform you
that .Nne stion 10 rsceIving the CON

The Diily News (Liberal) has an sdi
torial on Lord Salisbury's reply to tn,
memorial of the peace association fo
arbitration of the Venezuelan dispute
in which it says: Lord Salisbury
letter is the most hopeful word we have
had for long time from the premier
We Rope that it portends a definite
clearing Of the international situation in
one of the stormiest quarters. We may
even dream that it will presage a new
and brighter era in the worlds history
1t is not perfectly clear whether the
question has been advanced TO a stage OF
whether the government has merely con-
frmed and adopted Lord Rosebery'l
policy. II Lord Salisbury is able to con-
vert his words into deeds, he will go far
to make his present term Of offic illus

There comes time in the History Of

A VITAL REQUIREMENT.

What is most manifestly needed, and
what may reasonably be considered
Clusters most vital requirement, is the
means whereby the important fact may
be clearly and unmistakably demon
strated to the satisfaction OF the world
that her outlying mineral deposits have
sufficient merit to warrant their reduc-
tion with profitable results. This fact
may only be conclusively shown by the
actual operation OF a plant specially
adapted TO the treatment Of the char
acter of our ores. All the efforts hither-
10 made to convince a sksptical world of
the merits of our mines have signally
failed, and the result is that We are, at
present, practically as remote from the
.-s s.-.s.. ss-laa--i s-.--l
Our situation is peculiarly unfortunate
in this, that our camp is the oldest in
the Hills, and a failure to reach the
productive stage which would naturally
be expected in an old camp. fact due
to the adoption OF methods Of ore treat
ment unadApted to the character Of our
ores, has sngendered feeling of dis
trust which nothing short Of practical
demonstration will, dispel. Rich dis
coveries, which in more favored dis
,ricts would create the widest excite
msnt, are comparatively unheeded /;
and whyf Simply because We are
under the ban of distrust, induced by
our failure TO demonstrate the merits Of
our mineral resources by actual opera
ton. The mining world is weary,
waiting upon US for satisfactory proof Of
the validity of our claims as to the value
Of our mineral deposits. In the face of
the situation which now confronts US, it
is the esscence of folly to anticipate
successful results under the methods
adopted in the past to attract the eye of
capital to this unfortunate, but never
thelsss promising district. This fact
requires no proof; it is self evident; il
is written in the mould that marks the
interior surroundings Of our dormant
mines, in the confusion and decay OF
mine workings, where, for decade, the
sound OF pick or drill has been unhsard.
The world is tired OF hearing of rich
strikes in locality where there is not
sufficient enterprise to make them pro-
ductive. We have reached that morti.
flying stage where we are not even
classed among the mining possibilities
which is evidenced by the recent ap-
pearance of an exhaustive ten column
article in . prominent mining journal
Of the northern Hills. treating largely
upon the future mining possibilities oi
the region, in which this district re-
csived no mention whatever. Handi
capped as We are, it may not reasonably
be expected that capital will come to III
without the most unmistakable evidence
of the value of our ores, which may onl,
be shown by their practical reduction
In this lies our hone. and the sooner ",
imbibe this important fact the better i
will be for all concerned.

A Cello With a History.

Signor Patti has a magnificent
"Strad'' cello of date 1920. 1t is known
as the "red 'cello," because of the very
rich red tint of its varnish. This, too,
is an instrument with history-a his
tory which the signor has courteously
sent from the shores of the lake of
Como The instrument was first brought
to England by Spanish wine merchant,
who placed it for sale with Regent
street dealer, asking e150 for 1t. For q
long time it failed to find purchaser
even at that low figure. When Patti
first saw it, it was in the hands of q
professional musician named Pigott in
Dublin. The eminent virtuoso at once
recognized in it magnificent instru-
ment and accordingly he "kept his eye
on it.. When Pigott died, he was un-
fortunately unable to purchase it, but he
brought it to the notice of a dealer,
who secured it for $500. 1t was shortly
afteryard sold to General Oliver for
$3.50, and the general, being friend Of
Patti, ultimately presented the cello
to him, with the remark, "I always in
tended it for you.'
When Vuillaume saw it some years
afterward be offered $500 for it, and
the experts now believe that if put into
the market today it would bring near
$4,000. Signor Patti, it may readily be
understood, takes precious care Of his
possession. He never runs the risk of
carrying it out Of London and has it
most carefully bestowed during his alb
sence.-Cornhiu Magazine.

Extravapant young Britons..

My! What some of these young men
spend on their clothes! You would open
your eyes if you saw some of the things
got ready for theml Fancy pink silk
nightshirt, with roses embroidered On
the chest. Others have openworked
fronts, and one that ma and saw was
trimmed with lace on which forgetme-
nots were embroidered. Lace fronts to
evening socks are another item. Such
extravaganza as they indulge in must
make them conceited creatures. There's
my young man. Ma and and Emmie
and Susie went for o'clock tea to his
rooms the other day, and when we went
into his sleeping room to settle our hats
and wash our hands we found the Dress
ing table mass Of gold and silver and
turquoise. He had his monogram in dia-
monds on the tortoise she'll backs Of his
brushes. A gold box Of lovely workman
ship held his rings, and perfectly ex-
quisite old carved ivory casket was hung
on the wall for medicine chest. I'm
afraid I shall have some trouble in
breaking that young man In. He has

him see things in proper light.-Lon-
