To have all his hair turn gray at the

cause, has been the lot of the young
son of John Ertwine Of Eleventh street,
Bloomsbury, Pa.
About a year ago the parents notlced
that the boys hair, which was dark
was beginning TO turn gray in several
places. At first they pulled out the
gray hairs; but these increased so rap
idly that at present it would be neces-
sary to keep the bows head shaved t

British Columbia Mines,

large new boarding house is be-
ing built at the Stemwinder mine, in
Fairview camp.
During the month of. October more
than $4,000 tons of copper ore was
shipped from the Snowshoe mine,
which established a new high record
for that property.
1t is rumored among mining men
that the closing down of the CRANKY
mines and smelter will be of but short
duration and that there is a big merger
OF Boundary companies planned.
One encouraging feature in the news
OF the week was the receipt by Boun
Diary and other stockholders in the
Consolidated Mining & Smelling com
pany of Canada, Ltd, of the seventh
dividend checks Of that concern, be
ing what is known as the November
dividend payment.
Ii is the general impression in Mel
son that the shutdown ri the copper
mines in the Boundary is merely {
| matter of adjustment OF wages, anC
that if the men are willing to take the
| rise and fall of wages with the rise
and fall of copper-the Boundary
! mines and Smelters will soon be il
full blast again.
The LIE Roi, at ROssland, b. c., is

SQUADRON IN TRIM
ATLANTIC FLEET IS ABOUT
READY FOR PACIFIC TRIP
Five of Sixteen Great Yankee Battle
ships at Brooklyn Yards-EIeven at
the Yards Nearby-Great Quantities
of Food to Be Carried-Many Small
Boats Eliminated.

New York, Nov. 20.-Five of the 16
big American battleships which next
month will start on one of the most
notable cruises of the worlds naVal
history, are at the Brooklyn navy yard
receiving their last preparations for
the long Journey to the Pacific. The
other II are at the Norfolk, Boston
and League Island navy yards. Sew
eral of the battleships now at other
wards will come to New York during
the next few days to go into the dry
docks at the Brooklyn station. Eleven
and possibly II of the fleet Will rem
devious in New York harbor before De-
cember /, and will sail eithe" on that
dav or December 2 for Hampton Roads,
from which port the start TO San Fran
cisco will be made December 10, after
a review of the assembled ships by
President Roosevelt.
In addition to the five heavily armed
fighting craft at the local yard, four
vessels of the auxiliary squadron OF
supply and repair ships also are under
repair and will be ready in few days
to receive their full cargoes of sup
plies.
The task of loading the foOdstuffs
is by no means one of the smallest
of the problems involved in the set
ting out of the heaviest fighting squad
ron ever assembled under the Ameri-
can flag, a fact which is patent, when
of potatoes alone the acquisitions now
in the hands of the pay corps offices
call for 100000 pounds. The Connecti-
cut, the flagship of Admiral Evans,
which will lead the battleship column
in it's hemispheregirdling cruise, was
taken out of drydock late yesterday,
her white sides glistening with new
paint.
Quite a change is being made in the
appearance of the superstructures of
the battleships by the stripping Off OF
nearly one-half of the small boats for
merly carried. 1t was once the idea in
the navy to carry small boats enough
to accommodate a ships company in
case of wreck or disaster in battle
Such plan has long since been i'm
practicable, for the crews of the mod
ern fighters have grown to more than
800 and if small boats enough to carry
these were carried, there would be
room for little else aboard The danger
of shipwreck now is regarded as re
mote, and in the event of sinking in
battle the men, it is believed, would
have as good chances of rescue in car
ing for themselves individually, as they
would in an endeavor to get into boats
The rescue of men from sinking ships
is regarded as one of the duties i'm
posed upon the victor.

mines. About $500 men are affected.
According to information regarding
the strike of coal miners at Newcastle
the effect of the cessation of work in
the mines is being felt throughout
Australia.
How seriously the situation with re-
gard to the metal market is regarded
at Nelson, B. c., can be seen from the
fact that locally $4,000 has been
raised to complete the electric zinc
plant of the Canadian Zinc company
of that city. This plant is the result
of four and a half years work in Chi
cago and in Vancouver. The plan is
to treat zinc ore on basis of electric
reduction similar to that successfully
employed recently in Sweden Alto
gether some 100000 or $4,000 must
have been expended.
