Some Rossland properties.

The daily trains into Rossland are over
crowded with people and the town is get
ting overrun. Thousands of prospectors
are In the hills. Many are leaving every
day for Murphy creek, Sullivan Christina
lake and the Boundary country. The Iron
Colt company has made definite arrange
ment with the Alberta company for the
lease of its tunnel and will work the prop
erty through this tunnel. The tunnel is
now in 354 feet and is the largest tunnel in
camp, being run for double track service.
The Iron Colt company will continue the
tunnel on the Alberta property for the
distance of $50 feet, and 800 feet before the
Iron Colt lead is struck. The depths OBJ
tanned by the Iron Colt company on it's
lead will be S21 feet. The Alberta company
has spent considerable money in the de-
velopment of it's property, and at the dis
lance of 354 feet in the tunnel it drifted on
the vein for II feet, and is said to have en-
countered fine body of clean shipping
ore. 1t has 1876 feet of stopping ground and
before long will be among the list of ship
pers. The company has the largest drill
In camp, being 35-inch Rand slugger,
and gets its power from the Kootenay d
Columbia plant. The Evening Star will
again start shipping ore as soon as the
road from the mine is in fair condition.
1t Is sinking on nice 44-inch body of
clean shipping ore, which, 1t is reported.
is defraying all expenses of mining.

Miss Shillaber, of Boston, following
the example of many others in the field
of literature, is about to go upon the
platform with "reminiscences OF her
fathers life and readings from his
writings. Such a venture should be
great success, for there are many who
remember with affectionate pleasure
the sayings of Mrs. Darlington, the de-
lightful American Mrs. Malaprop,
which Mr.. B. p. Shllaber created. Mrs.
Partington's humor was delightfully."-
refreshing and the reader soon learned
to love her for her goodness Of heart
as we'll as for her solecisms. While
Mr.. Shillaber's fame grew out of his
creation of Mrs. Darlington, he was n
writer of stories which pleased the
readers of a generation ago with their
quiet sketches of character, their pa
thos, and their pure and elevated tone.

MINES AND PROSPECTS
DEVELOPMENT, BONDING AND
SALES OF PROPERTIES.
A Look North. South, East and West
Over the Mineral Producing
Sections of the Northwest.

One Of the most important stock trans
actions yet recorded in Spokane was con-
summated last week when 10000 shares OF
Noble Five stock were sold to Toronto
purchasers at price close to $4,000. The
Noble Five Is one of the best known OF
the SLOGAN properties. 1t was located In
1892 and was developed largely, and a
large amount of ore was marketed. Last
August, by consolidation of the Dead
man and Noble Five groups, an incorpora-
ton was effected. The mine is largely de-
veloped by eight tunnels, all run on the
vein. A large amount of stopping has been
done. From August to January l. aside
from developing the mine and exploring
new ore bodies, but little work was done.
but during that time tramway 6100 feet
long and concentration was installed.
This tramway has an elevation of 200 feet
above the mill. At one point, over the
Noble Five slide, the tramway is 430 feet
above the ground. The installation of the
tramway and mill involved an expendi-
ture of nearly $4,000, and at the same
time $4,000 was expended In the develop
ment of the NINE Since January ore to
the value of $4,000 has been shipped, and
there is now 400 tons of concentrates at
the mill ready for shipment. The COM
pany has rs men on the pay roll at the
mine and in the. mill. The mines compris-
ing the Noble Five group are the Maude
E., Worlds Fair, Bonanza King, Knox
vile. Noble Five, Deadman, Wild Goose
and Lucetta.

One of the most important and fruit
full directions in which scientific ac-
tivity has lately been turned is In the
prevention of disease, rather than IN
waiting until maladies have obtained a
foothold and then trying to cure them.
The reduction in the rate Of fifth" or
zymotic diseases in recent years proves
how much can be accomplished in this
direction and to how great an extent
the sufferings of humanity may be re-
lieved by the proper observance OF SAN
itary regulations. The recent activity
o. the board of health in detecting ana
furnishing those who adulterate FOOD
products, or offer such products FOR
sale, is an effort in this direction that
will command the hearty approval OF
all who appreciate to how great an eX-
tent this abuse has developed.

The deep-sea fish live at great depths,
where the pressure of the water is
enormous, and are constructed so as TO
be comfortable at that pressure. If one
of these fish happens to ascend beyond n
certain level, its bladder becomes dis
tended with the decreased pressure.
and carries it, in spite of all it's efforts,
still higher. In fact, members of this
unfortunate class are liable to become
victims to the unusual accident of fall
Ing upward, and, no doubt, meet with
violent death soon after leaving their
accustomed level and long before their
bodies reach the surface in distorted
and unnatural shape.

After the Venezuelan boundary is
carefully riveted down so that it will
stay in one place, 1t will be time to
mark out the Alaskan line so that the
British official can see it without spec
tacles. AT present he comes across it,
where there are any valuable mineral
deposits, and levies a tax on our min
CTS before he will allow them TO pick
up the gold which lies around on their
own territory. 1t is obvious enough
that the frontier, in spots, at least, ,e-
quires more visible and precise deiin-
ition than the Boundary Commission
has given to it. We have as yet No oc-
casioa to join the VOLTS long howl on
Unalaska's shore in resentment of
anything which our neighbors have
done, and probably will not have, but
the lire ought to be blazed anew when
1t INNS through or near territory with
9nything valuable on it.

coincidence that the prize fight was
also heinous violation of law was
naturally overlooked in the excitement

The results of the somewhat comnro-
hensiVe experiment in the free deIiv-
cry of postal matter in rural regions
have been instructive. Free delivery
was instituted in forty-two postoftices
The cost of the service varied from sew
en- mills per piece of mail matter TO
more than six cents per piece. 1t was
estimated that free rural delivery
would cost the government somewhat
more than twenty million dollars n
year; but the results of the tests made
indicate that the cost would be nearer
forty million dollars. The lesson of the
experiment is that free rural delivery
must be very judiciously and yery
gradually introduced.

1t Is question in the State Legislature

II. D. Booge, a Topeka man, has
adopted a unique plan for getting
"eyen." Recently he lost his handsome
home through foreclosure. He owned
the adjacent vacant lot, and he built a
barn on it within twenty feet of the
front door of his lost home. The loan
company thus finds it impossible to
rent the house, and Booge takes secret
satisfaction in seeing it remain vacant.
