BRITISH COLUMBIA.

For several days negotiations have
been pending for bond on the Blue
Jay group of claims, in Skylark camp,
the amount involved being $4,000.
A vein of good shipping ore has been
struck quite by accident in the shaft of
the Nickle Plate at Rossland, one of the
B. A. c. properties, placing it on the
list of prospective shippers
The shipments of ore from the B. C.
mine in Summit camp to the Trail
smelter amount thus far to 1900 tons.
The new plant being installed compris-
es two SO-horse power boilers and half
OF twenty-drill compressor.
The work of enlarging the st. Eu-
gene concentration goes steadily along,
and at the present rate of progress it
will be ready to run by April 18th. The
st. Eugene air compressor, which was
started up four weeks ago, is working
alone.
The Taylor Air Compressor Company
has put up one of its patent 500-horse
power compressors on Coffee creek,
near Ainsworth, and expects to deliv-
er air to the neighboring mines this
year. The air is compressed by a col
umn of water falling into shaft sunk
in the bed of the creek.
The final payment has been made on
the Banner claim, owned by the Grey
Eagle Mining company, the new corpo-
ration organized by the Miner-Graves
syndicate to operate the Grey Eagle,
Banner, Tip Top and Triangle fraction,
all of which properties adjoin the Old
Ironsides, Knob Hill and War Eagle.
Parties interested in the Pontifex
group of mines on Huckleberry noun
tain, have known for some time that
work which has been steadily prosecu-
ted all winter on the claim known as
the Phoenix has been in a great body
of ore. Assays recently had show that
the average values run up to something
over $50 per ton.
The miners are leaving Rossland rap
idly for Butte, Cripple Greek, Sumpter,
the Occur d'Alenes, and other points in
the United States. Not few are go
ing into the SLOGAN, Boundary creek
and east Kootenai sections. Some are
awaiting the opening of navigation,
and will go north to Nome as soon as
the steamers commence to leave the
| coast cities for the north.

Yokohama, Japan, via Victoria, March
l9.-The persistence with which the west
ern press clings to the imminence of war
between Russia and Japan is attracting
much attention here Thus far there has
seemed to be no foundation whatsoever
for the rumor. The fact which now i'm
presses the public is the arrival of repre-
sentatives of some of the prominent New
York papers, they having been sent for
the express purpose of being upon the
spot when the outbreak comes. This, to-
gether with the activity prevailing in the
Russian squadron in eastern waters, as
sembling in force as it is in the Korean
straits, and the reports constantly coming
in of extraordinary doings at Port Arthur,
has at last forced the conviction that
where there is so much smoke there must
be some fire, and the people and press
are correspondingly on the qui viye. In
official circles, however, the utmost calm
is manifest while everybody is wondering
what it all means.

Beautifyine Tortoise Shells.

Tortoise shells as they are unloaded
from the ships are far from beautiful,
To be classed as trough" they must be-
just as they were when taken from
the tortoises' backs. 1t Is not until
washed and secured with acids that
their exquisite coloring shows. The
same is true of the beautiful sea shells
which come from the shores of India
and other tropical lands. There is al-
most as much difference between them
in the rough and when finished as there
Is between uncut diamonds and those
that have passed through lapidary's
hands.

The colored population are leaving

Bryan. There are several reasons for
this, and one is that Teddy Roosevelt
is strutting about the country claim
inc for himself and his New N~rk 1e-
giment all the credit for the taking Of
San Juan hill. AS a matter Of fact
Roosevelt did t arrive until the
nights were taken. His own regi-
ment faltered under the storm Of fire
that met them from the Spanish
trenches and it was no reflection on
their bravery that they did for no
troops in the world ever met a more
whitening blast of lead than they.
When they faltered, however, the
colored troops swept through their
decimated ranks and carried the posi-.
ton. They deserve the credit of the

HAS HIT HOME.

The effect of trusts are not always
felt by the people in the country but
occasionally an object lesson comes
to the fore without asking for it. Yes
t. rday a party walked into one of oui
drygoods stores and asked for few
yards Of cheese cloth and although it
is cheap goods at best the information
was handed out that it had advanced
Ia cents per yard. 1t die mt make
much difference but it proved the
work of the trust system.
Has any other line Of goods ad-
vanced?' was asked.
Advanced! we'll yes. You see
sheeting has gone up IL cents per
yard, and some other cotton goods
have been advanced to higher
figure Now there's the Cults spool
cotton. They are the tIust and we
are notified to only sell S spools in
stead of 7 for rs cents, and if we
break the price the thread company
will notify us that our contract with
them will be cancelled"
This is the effect and now that
housewife is dragged into the evils Of
trusts there is liable to be heap O
thinking. The man openly gets GU,
