sOn Vancouver Island at Alberin and
other points active mining is being carried
on. But the island has only been partially
prospected. The indications are, however,
that it is rich in the precious metal, gold .
The finest coal found on the Pacific Coast
is on Vancouver Island and there are also
immense deposits of iron ore.

full experience in the past and your State
is yet immensely rich in mines, but DO
not be surprised If your record is eclipsed

II was surprised at the great manufae-
turing facilities en- joyed by San Francisco,
and think certainly your mining
cry men and your merchants dealing ID
mining supplies should give attention at
once to the great district TO the north OF
ated in the matter of freight to send in
supplies to us. Your factories and
machine-shops are large enough to COM
pete with the East. Why, then, don't you
men get in on the ground floor and secure
trade which otherwise will be lost to your
City?
mining machinery is admitted free
from the United States so long as it is not
similar to what is made in Canada. Now
very little of your machinery here is like
anything made in Canada, so customs
duty does not stand in your way. think,
and have in fact all along thought, that San
Francisco is specially good supply mart
for our country. Southern Kootenay
owes much to American capital in its de-
veIopment, and we are not the people to
deny it, but we have wakened up to the
fact that we have one of the richest min
ing countries in the world, and while
Americans led the way we are not slow
and the Canadian people are becoming
greatly interested in our mining develop
ment.

THE NEWS Of SAN JOSE,
A Crank Writes to the Super

Suffrage.
The Tiraie of Such a Character That
the Board Dispenses With
Its Reading.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Oct. 1.-The Board of
Supervisors has received q long TRADE
against woman suffrage from John Atkin-
son of st. Louis. Mo. In his letter he
urges the voters 10 work against the eleT-
enth amendment, as he says should the
women agitators once obtain the balance
of power their long list of imaginary
grievances would be speedily redressed by
measures so extreme and unreasonable as
to cause an:agonism and hate, if not
worse, between the sexes.
The board refused 10 listen TO the read
ing of the letter. Mr.. Atkinson is not
known here. but he is evidently a crank
who imagines his mission is to work
against woman suffrage.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Oct. lie.
G. Fish, miner in Colorado River coun-
try, writes that last Sunday he found the
remains OF Jack Curley, lost from the
Adams camping party about year ago.
Curley had set out from camp on mule
to go to the river. A few days later the
party found the mule in the Chuckawalla q
Mountains, but never discovered any trace
of Curley, though a systematic search was
made. The skeleton. with papers and
trinkets to identify it, was stumbled on
near Mule Springs, in the Chuckawalla
range, between boulder and Dos Palmas.
The same letter contained mention of
the finding of an unknown body by man
named Blackburn. The remarkable part
of this discovery was that Blackburn
found the body near Coyote Hole, where a
few weeks ago he found the watch and
trinkets OF Staubenmiller.
