How American Mine Owners Lost
Their Property.

VANCOUVER, B. O.. June 8.-Trouble
has occurred at the international bound
ary line, in the Mount Baker mining
district, and as a result American own
ers of mines who are suffering are pro-
testing to the Canadian government au-
thorities.
When the American government
boundary line surveyor, Mr.. Sinclair,
finished determining the line in this
district he found that it was 3,840 feet
farther south than it was supposed to
have been for the last three years. Two
thousand feet of two Of the most valua-
BILE mines i'll the district, the Golden
Charm and Golden Star, owned by Sc
attic and New York people, were showed
over into Canada. Canadians jumped
all this ground which had not been
taken according to Canadian regulations
and was not recorded on this side of the
line. An appeal was wired to the au-
thorities at Ottawa by the American
owners.
The claim jumpers are still busy, some
of the claims running very rich.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the

the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities Of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP

Horse Leased to Whitney.

The papers have printed New York
dispatches saying that Mr.. Whitney
would take VolOdyovski to America,
but he cannot do that. He had simply
leased the horse for $4,000 cash and a
half of what the horse might win at
three and four years of age, after which
he was to be returned. Had Lady Meux
cared to sell the colt outright on an
offer that was made he would now
stand at G25, 200, the offer being 915,-
900 down and &10,000 more if he won
the Derby.
In these matters she has not looked
on money at ALL Her great desire was
that as Huggius had borne the heat of
the day he should reap the reward. For
that reason she accepted an offer that
would admit of VOlOdyOvski's s. remain
ing in his stable. The only thing that
might have altered all this was if King
Edward had continued to be Prince of
Wales. But for his accession to the
throne we should now see him credited
with what no living person has been

An AngIo-American Triumph.

The Derby was an Anglo American
triumph, but not so the Oaks, which
was American, pure and simple. It is
fact that the rivalry ran high in Amer
lea last year between Mr.. Whitney and
Mr.. Keane, almost amounting to bad
blood when a colt of Mr.. Whitney's s
beat Olympian for the Futurity. Under
the circumstances, it is not little sim
gular that Mr.. Whitney should have
won the Derby and Mr.. Keane the Oaks.
The Derby running of Olympian told
Darling he had the Oaks in his pocket
with Cap and Bells II.
To add to the American triumph, the
Tammany chieftain. Croker, ran third
in the Oaks, while an American jockey
rode the winner of the Derby, and the
first three i'll the Oaks were ridden by
jockeys of that nationality. Henry,
who was imported by Mr.. Keane, who
brought Sloan to this country, has made
rare beginning.

LONDON, June 8.-London Is still
talking of the Derby and the Oaks. The
discussion of the relative merits of
American and British methods of train

must be confessed that the British COM
ments are generally very fair. They
sorrowfully admit the superiority of
America on every point. The Sporting
Times says:
1.-The Derby has been won by a
French horse and an American horse,
but never until Wednesday was it won
by a horse who had other than an Eng
ish jockey in the saddle. Whatever
our horses might be, the supremacy of
our jockeys was deemed complete. But
that fallacy is now exploded. Thus,
