MINING NOTES.

An"w shipping mine, the Preston, is
added to the Boundary, B. c., list last
week.
The introduction of a bill at Otta-
wa by the representatives of the
Lords Day alliance of Canada, or at
its instigation, to close all industries
in Canada on the first day of the week,
is agitating the minds of the smelter
superintendent of the Boundary, who
freely state that such law is out of
the question for smelling works, which
must be operated continuously, owing
to the great cost of blowing in and
blowing out the blast furnaces.
The greatest rush the world has
ever known will be made into central
Alaska within the next few years, u

In an editorial communication upon
the relations between Governor Nor
ton and General Lew Wallace. the
Indianapolis News says:
\ citizen of Morgantown thinks
Gen. Lew Wallace should occupy II
diana's vacant niche in Satuary Hall
at Washington because Morton is
already there. He thinks las they
were together in war and peace it
would be fitting for them to be IN the
Hall of Fame together" The Hail of
Fame is at the New York University
and Indiana has no representative
there yet. There may be good reas-
ons for placing General Wallace III
Statuary Hall. but his relations with
Morton do not furnish any argument
General Wallace continued TO act with
the Democratic party for several years
after Governor Morton left it. He OPP
posed Morton when the latter ran for
Governor in 1886, and said many harsh
things of him between then and 1860

There has always been a belief
throughout the country that govern
ment employees are highly paid, and &c
a certain extent that has been true III
the past, but the experiences of a res
ident of the capital city the past few
years has been far from pleasant. Res
ignations are assuming alarming pro-
portions, and as is always the case
the government is losing some of its
brightest and most efficient workers
Hardly a government employe is sta
toned in Washington but has been
met with the answer, You are il Of
fee, are you not; you can afford TO pay
good prices when protest has been
made to excessive charges for the ne
cessities of life. The scale of salaries
today is practically the same as paid
during the cheap-price period of So
'95, with ordinary living expenses rails
ed from 20 to $50 per cent.

Representative Victor Murdoch. Of
Kansas, has revived the periodical
mail-weight scandal. but it will die
aborning. The railway-mail employees
tell the story thuswise: The periods
for weighing the mail are known in
advance. Ii hundreds of sacks Of
franked mail leave the capital city
during that period, of course it is 4 co
incidence. The government sen Ids
out thousands OF tons of books which
have been sacked and ready for deliv-
cry for some time. Ii member OF
Congress sends to his district several
tons of these books during the weigh
ing-in period, of course that is coinci-
dence, too. Stories are rife of large
publishing houses who happen" TO
have large shipments of books in sin
gle wrappers at that time for delivery
through the mails instead Of sending
them by express. Mere coincidence
A friend of the writer living over three
hundred miles from New York City
sent a postal card TO one of the gen
eral passenger agents at that city in
quiring about rates for a round trip 10
California. To his surprise a repre-
sentative Of the company called at his
home and talked him into buying the
ticket, and then scooted' back to the
big city. Now the proposition is, If
railroad will send an agent 800 miles
to sell a $500 ticket would it not be
wise to see that large shippers of
mail matter send out a goodly bulk
during the weighing-in period the
average of that weight TO continue TO
the next weigh-in?

Washington, Dec. 22.-(Spl If an
amendment to the alcohol bill offered
this week in the. Senate is accepted
every farmer in the country wiz be
enabled to have a still in his barn lot.
Under the provisions of the bill as orr
ginally framed, each distiller was com
PEELED to have an Individual ware
house, and the inspection of a regular
ly appointed revenue officer was neces-
sary This entailed such cost that
the farmmerS of the country would
not have enjoyed the advantages With
respect to the manufacture of the dc
natured alcohol for light, heat AMI
power purposes which it was original
ly intended they should have. The
amendment seeks to remedy this by
authorizing the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue to make special ar
rangementS for the denaturing OF al
cohol in such small quantities as not
to justify this almost prohibitive ex-
pense. The amendment seeks to es-
tablish the German system of distilla-
ton, which does away with great
amount of government red tape and
permits individuals or groups of far
merS to engage in the manufacture Of
alcohol at the lowest possible cost for
governmental supervision.

The special inquiry which is being
made by member of the Interstate
Comerce Commission in Minnesota,
concerning the transportation condi-
tons in the Northwest, is being watch
ed here with great interest 1t seems
that not only are entire communities
suffering greatly from the inability
of the railroads to transport coal, but
the inquiry has developed the fact that
the great grain growing section is
financially embarrassed by reason of
the lack of cars to move the corn crops
to market Farmers who had ample
means to meet all obligations had they
been able to turn their products into
cations, and the depression is felt all
along the line. That such a situation
should arise in the hey-day Of the
greatest prosperity that the country
has ever known is direct rebuke
to the government for its supine policy
with regard to the waterways of the
country Had the Mississippi and the
Missouri rivers been developed as they
should have been in the past, the
vast crops of the Northwest could
easily have been transported TO mar
ket, independent of the railroads. This
situation is to be remedied as result
of the missionary work done by the
National Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress, and the passage of bill at
this session carrying $50,000,000 or
more for preliminary work will insure
the beginning of active operations.

Pity the poor government CLERK. II
half the letters that are being written
to the local newspapers speak truth,
the condition of Uncle Sans employees
is pitiable indeed. To judge by this
epistolary complaints, the average gov
eminent clerk in Washington lives lit
tie bette than serf and at his death
there awaits him only a yawning hole
in the potter's field. All of these COM
munications have for their subject
the proposed increase of 20 per cent in
salaries, which President Roosevelt
some time ago declared he might Zee
ommend. The President is consulting
the members of Congress on his pro-
position, and this week had a lengthy
conference with Representative Lit
tauer, member of the Committee on
Appropriation. Mr.. Roosevelt is I'M
derstood not to be in favor of a blan-
ket increase of 20 per cent, bat IS
convinced that there should be some
general raise in the clerks pay. Mr.
Littauer is distinctly opposed to gen
eral increase in government salaries,
but he has acknowledged that there
are men in the service, particularly
those at the heads of bureaus, who dc
serve better wages. AS a matter of
fact, Uncle Sans employees are wofili-
~ underpaid.
