copper and gold as in the Trail Creek
country, and high. grade silver mines
have also been discovered. Over on
Okanogan lake there is free milling
quartz and several stamp mills are in
operation, says the Spokesman Review.
The development of British Columbia
has hardly commenced. AS transpor.
tation facilities are afforded and cheap
methods applied of treating low grade
ore at nominal cost, districts to
which but little attention is now being
paid will yield millions to the worlds
wealth. Nor has nature been sparing
in the distribution of mineral in the
state of Washington and the neighbor-
ing states of Idaho and Oregon, whose
mountains abound with silver and
lead. The production of these sections
will be enormous this year and it will
occasion no surprise if the output will
be doubled next year. This is the
golden age and the opportunities for
securing fortune are open to all who
will work as faithfully at mining as
in other occupations. The toll is hard,
but the reward is great. Fortunes are
not made in moment, but, Emerson
says, the farmer and the miner who
wrest from the earth the treasures,
whether it be of grain or gold, are the
greatest benefactOrs of mankind,

Victoria, June 1.-The work of res
cue at the scene of the bridge disaster
was completed this afternoon, when
the last of the bodies was recovered by
divers. The death roll includes fifty
five names, and it is feared that two or
three strangers may yet be missing.
Evidence is accumulating showing
grave negligence ON the part of the
city authorities, they having been
warned the day before the accident
that the bridge was unsafe. This
afternoon was given up to the funerals
of the victims.

Battle with MatabeIes.

Buluwayo, June IA portion of
Captain Napier's column, in a sharp
brush with 1900 Matabeles, routed
the natives, killing 200 and wounding
many others. Two troopers were
killed and three wounded. Burnham,

He was cut off by large body of
Matabeles, but rode at full speed, hotly
pursued, and managed to rejoin the
vanguard, which was itself surrounded

oner, who was captured by the troop

white woman in captivity.

AN OPAL CANNOT BE LOST.
Apparent veriflcation of Virtue Claimed
For the Alleged Unlucky Gem.

For the Alleged Unlucky Gem.
A wealthy broker of West Philadel-
phia had rather singular experience
the other day. He and his family have
had in their possession for a number of
years some very handsome opals, but
the superstition which was formerly en-
tertained concerning the stone being un-
lucky prevented him making use Of tho
gems. Last year he took a trip to Eu-
rope. While in London hs met at the
house of mutual friend dealer in
precious stones, who had just como from
Gracias Dios, in Honduras, and had
brought back some fine gems.
Instead of putting any faith m the
popular superstition this gentleman be-
lieved in the opal very thoroughly and
attributed to it virtues which no other
gem possessed. Among the things which
he said about it was that the opal was
attached to its owner by invisible cords
and that it was impossible to lose it,
though it might be mislaid. The Phila-
delphia broker on his return to PhiIa-
delphia chose the finest opal in his col
lection. had it set in ring, surrounded
by small diamonds, and at Christmas
presented it to his wife. 1t was truly
beauty, and she wore it with conscious
pride.
One day on returning from O days
outing she received quite shock-the
opal was gone. Search proved vain. No
trace of the stone could she discover.
Not only on account Of its value, but
because she knew how highly her hus-
band priced the stone, she hated to in
form him Of her loss. AT last she felt
obliged to do SO, when, greatly to her
astonishment, he drew from his vest
pocket tiny package and presented it
to her. Upon opening it what was her
delight when she recognized her lost
opal.
More astonishing still, her husband
affirmed that while he was walking
down Chestnut street day or two be-
fore he felt something under the sole OF
his shoe, which upon investigation
proved to be the opal which he had lass
seen shimmering upon his wife's finger.
There was no doubt about it being the
lost one, for the jeweler who had set
it recognized it also. - Philadelphia
