PROJECTORS ORGANIZE.

The British Columbia Prospectors
Protective association has been or
ganized with a membership Of IS and
with headquarters at Nelson, B. c.

Silver Disappears in France.

European nations are experiencing
trouble with their subsidiary currency.
In France boarding of small silver
change has resulted in the withdraw
al from circulation of such an amount
Of metallic currency that a serious
problem has beset the government in
spite of the fact that more silver coin
age has been minted in the past five
years than for over a decade. Depre-
citation of French exchange and specu-
ulation are reasons for this situation.
Expectation Of silver coins and their
melting into bullion for manufactur-
ing purposes seems to be prevalent.
Normally France produces only about
OF per cent of the worlds production
of silver and must rely for practically
all its supply on other countries.-Bu-
reau of mines.

silver quotations, but at this writing
the price per ounce is above the old
parity value of $L2929, and as long as
this figure is maintained, which will
be for years beyond a question of
doubt, silver producers will certainly
be in a position to operate upon a
regular and extensive scale, with the
result that many old mines will be
reopened and operated, while new
producers will be developed in many
localities
Lead has made consistent advances
of late and the outlook for this branch
OF the mining industry grows brighter
and brighter Lead is associated so
extensively with other metals in ores
that even fractional advances in price
means much to the producer, as, ac-
cording to a late popular song, Every
little bit, added to what we have
makes just little bit more"
With either silver or lead as a by
product in ores, or with either pre-
dominating, there is a bright OUTLOOK
for the producer and conditions are
to say the least; and,
with zinc showing greater strength,
there should be no tagging or delay
on the part Of mine owners This be-
ing the case three S-hour shifts, with
every available man at work, should
be the order Of the day with them; for
now is their harvest time.

IN A MISERABLE MIDDLE.

Dr. S. P. Ortiz, professor Of political
science at Cornell university, writes
The treaty is composed of two parts.
the treaty proper with Germany ana
the covenant Of the so-called league
OF nations. The very great majority
OF sensible American citizens desired
that the two be kept separate. If
that had been DONE the treaty would
have been ratified long ago and time
could have been devoted to the care
fun rearing of an adequate interna
tional structure, a task that at best
can evolve but slowly. However, foI
reasons best known to himself, and
which are just now being disclosed,
the president of the United States,
who, through the conjunction of
events held the balance Of power in
his hands, desired to so intermingle
the treaty with the covenant that
they are virtually inseparable. He IS
willing, apparently, TO trade the au-
tonomy of his own nation, for an un-
known quantity in the perplexing
equation of world affairs. We are
now therefore, in a miserable mud
die, and for sheer expediency's sake,
l think the treaty should be speedily
adopted, amply safeguarded to pro-
tect the American nation. You will
find that no sooner is the treaty in
force than the structure it rears will
begin to go to pieces. And then,
All the Kings Experts and all the
Kings men,
Can't put the old league together
again.
Then when normal conditions have
and when a sane and sensi-
BILE government has been restored to
our nation. we can set about to recti- /
" the outrageous anomalies contain |
ed in the treaty; and the like-minded [
iations of the world can proceed, in
rational and orderly manner, to
perfect the procedure of information
i intercourse. In other words, 1 be-
ieve that the orderly course Of ma
ure can provide a better balm for
he worlds ills. than the panacea of
mug and self-contained politicians"

The Builders
cHenry wadsworth Longfellow)

All are architects Of Fate,
Working in these walls of Time;
Some with massive deeds and great,
Some with ornaments of rime
Nothing useless is, or low;
Each thing in its place is best;
And what seems but idle show
Strengthens and supports the rest.
For the structure that we raise,
Time is with materials filled;
Our todays and yesterdays
Are the blocks with which we build.
Truly shape and fashion these;
Leave no yawning gaps between;
Think not, because no man sees.
Such things will remain unseen.
In the elder days of Art,
Builders wrought with greatest care
Each minute and unseen part
For the gods see everywhere
Let us do our work as we'll,
DOAAi TIC uAoCGI anu lAlG SG6AAg
Make the house where gods may dwell
Beautiful, entire and clean.
Else our lives are incomplete,
Standing in these walls of Time.
