to James Jarrel and w. B. Bower on a
$27 900 bond on the j. S. claim in Sum-

Russia One Huge Farm.

IN a sentence, Russia is huge farm,
comprising a seventh of the land sur
face of the globe and twenty-sixth OF
its total area 1t has half a dozen men
to manage it-according to the policy
of one of the six-and the people are
divided into 100000 of men and
women of the more or less comfortable,
more or less educated class and 49,
100000 of citizens, the mass of whom
form the dullest, rudest, least ambi-

BRITISH COLUMBIA.

An effort is being made by some OF
the heavy stockholders in the Hum

reorganize the corporation.
There are many rumors regarding
probable deal between the Kilo and
Chapleau properties on Lemon creek.
M. Mougues, engineer of the latter, has
inspected the former property recently,
which doubtless gave rise to the report.
The Similkameen country of late has
been noticeable for the interest taken
in it by outside mining men. The real
ization that this section of the province
is capable of producing both valuable
minerals and coal is gradually dawn
ing upon those who are looking for
virgin fields for the safe investment OF
capital. The solution of the transpor-
tation problem is practically solved.

on a picture taking expedition. While
sauntering along Sheep creek Petch
saw a log projecting from the cliff 90
feet above, and giving his kodak to NC

was crushed.
The mining belt around Similkameen
City is about 80 miles in width, run

east side of the Keremeos valley. The
ores in Camp Headly are chiefly ARISEN
