The cost of treatment by its means is reduced to 111 per ton, but it will smelt nothing but Le Roi ore for a lung time. Its capacity is 200 tons per day, which, with the amount banked waiting for tbe opening of the smelter, will keep it going for a good many miHiths, and if Le Roi produc- tion continues incieaaing possibly per- oianently. 1 believe that there is room in the Trail Creek camp for a doxeu smelters as big as the one at the Landing. The only other smelters I know of in llritish Columbia are the smelters at Nelson and at Pilot Bay. They are for silver and lead ore, how- ever, and the one just put into opera- tion is the only one for gold. "Tbe greater part of the ore has gone, and still goes, to the smelters aoroaa in the United States â€" Kosislaiid is only about eight miles from the boundary line â€" at racuina and Helena, and as far as Salt Lake. Tbe state- ments of production can only be veri- fied by the returns from these smelters, but the most conservative es- matu of the golil pruduvtiun of the dis- trict this year is «5,UOU.U0U. It has been put at |7,0OU,U0U, but that figure is, 1 think, not warranted by fact. NO FICTITIOUS GROW iH. Ore was first shippad in 1891, and ^ce that time development has bwen wonderfully rapid. Tbero are at pres- ent ten miuen m which machinery is U-ied to furnish power tor tbe com- pressed air drills and for hoisting tbe ore. That machinery has all been pur- chased in Montreal aud Sherbrooke, tbe greater part from the iugeraull Drill Co., and Rand Drill Co. The aver- age cost cannot have been far short of |oO,UOU per outfit. Le Koi mine has Ibu largest engines aud loilers ever used in a mine in Canada, power Ijo- ing provided tor 50 drills. This mine is run night and day with three shifts of men, aud there is ore enough to pay dividends of |1U0.0U0 pur mouth when tbe new machinery and Ihe tramway are in full operation. The dividend now paid to Spokane men chiefly is iii.OW per mouth since January last and 9-^.- WU extra for one month, ihe capital is 92,50U,UUU in 95 sharea aud the prices i.t expected to doulde. l°he War Ka^fle mine has paid divideudji of 9t87,UUU in tba past nine moulhs, but there is not 80 much machinery used in it. and uia- cbinery is a pretty fair test of per- manence. Speaking generally the in- dications are that there are enormous quantities of low grade ore iu tbe dis- trict and that it gets richer Ihe fur- ther down it is worked. At :^0U feet Le Roi ore begad to look well aud at lOU the vein is 6U feet wide aud stead- ily l)ecoming richer. Kmiuent experts of Europe say Le Hoi is the richest gold miu» in the world. "The trouble has been that Canadi- ans have txteu too slow to get it. The Americans who, like myself, entered tarly will, in tbe sale of uiiues alone, without taking account of dividends, re- ceive from $5.U0U,000 to Jf7,0;;0,OO0 iu ca,ah lieforo September 15tb this year; most of this money will go to Spokane. Cau- adians are slow yet. but are bcgiuuiuij to come in, while Knglish influence is liecoming quits active. Air. R. U. I'ope, M. P., was one of the largest aud ear- liest Canadiau investors; aud Mr. Ives, late Minister of Trade, is interested with me iu tbe Joae mine. . "As to tbe queMt'OU of labor there is little to say. Of course as a mtne- owuer I am interested in getting as many laborers as possilde thereâ€" it low- ers wagesâ€" Imt there is no surplus j'Ct and we often have to skirmish lur mvu. I do not think there will lie a surplus of laborers this year or next for devel- opment is going on rapidly. Lalwrers in iho mines get alout 93 pt^i* '^^y B'Ud wood-cutters aliout 92.50. There is al- so a good <leal of work tor carpenters at from 9- 59 to 93.50 per day. The cost of living is not more than it gen- erally is through the west. I can't speak a« to the IxMird of the working- men, but I cau get as good accommo- dation as 1 \»Lsh at Rossland hotels for 92.50 per day. A SOLITARY VOTER. The development ot the town of Ross- land and Trail has been wonderful. Roasland has from 3,500 to 4,500 peo- ple, and Trail, which in January ot this year had three houses only, lias now 1,500 inhabitants. \'ou can under- stand how upid haa In-en the develo^)- ment when 1 tell you that there was only one vote at tbe recent election in thU town of 1,500. Railroads are what we most need. As 1 have stated the nearest railroad point is Northport on tbe S|)okane road, au<l Spokane vKblf, 145 mtles distant, is the commercial c*ntre. The main line of thvi "C. K R., is away north, far lieyond reach, and the Columbia River is a poor suli.itltute lor * railway. Sir Wm. Van Uorne, experts and are invest- ingr. One of these experts, coming out of a mine, sat do^vn and wiping bis forehead aiid. "It's amazing; South .\frica is not in it." Another, without giving any opinions, Ixiu^ht a block of 5,000 shares. These aje incidents that prove a good deal more than general itfcitement.s alout the wealth of the jiiines. Tou can depend upon it tbe Trail Creek camps will produce more gold b the next few years than any other district of the •u.me extent in the world." USING DOGS IN WAR. AasbaUkce Work la tke RsMlam Jazer â- csluirai?!. During the French military operations at Tours in 1890, competitions were in- stituted between racing dogs, carrier pigeons, horsemen, bicyclists and tricy- clists. The pigeons completed a giv- en distance in the shortest time â€" 5 min- utes 50 seconds; the riders took 7 min- utes 57 seconds; the dogs, 8 minutes 8 seconds; the bicyclists, 9 minutes 15 seconds, and the tricyclists, 10 minutes 10 seconds. On the same occasion ex- periments were made with dogs carry- ing ammunition. It was found that a large mountain or sheep dog would carry 500 charges with the Leijel rifle to the front with the greatest ease and rapidity. Against this advantage must be set tbe fact that dogs, as well as men, are likely to be bit in tbe line of fire, and that a dog which has once l)et;n wounded can never Lie broken of its dread of returning under fire. In the first instance it is difficult enough to accustom the animals to the sound of firearms or camion. At tbe begin- ning of their training the fiercest dogs will either liolt altogether or crouch in abject terror at the slightest dis- cbarge, unable to attend to any orders. Still, even here, use and kindly persua- sion will eventually make the dogs in- different to the loudest firing. Once the fear is overcome the dog will stick to his post more firmly and unconcern- edly than many a young soldier In bis first year of service. less and ghostlike, rise on either hand. At the door\vay of the Vizier's house we di:imount, and, passing through empty balls aud wide passages, severe and austere in their grim whiteness, wo are ushered Into one of those small and aiiAUTIFULGAKUENS which tbe Moors love :io much and know so well how to render attractive. Between the dark cypre:^s trees and tbe trellis work that line < he paths the fitful light of moon ami many lanterns tails, whde the shadowy figures of the members of the Suluui s court pass and repass. A dark man, with a small beard aud mou^itaube, s\vathed in the fiueiit of white wool and silk garments greets us. it is the Giand Vizier. A minute later aud we ojre ensconced in tbe reception room, leadiiig from tbe garden by an arcade of horseshoe arches au a^nrtment rich iu delicate inlaid tile work, iu arabesques, and inscriptions in lacelike phuter. and with a ceiling ot gorgeous painted wood, rising in arches aud domes of intricate carving and delicate color ; here a puy.zling geo- niftiic design ot gilded beams, and there falling in ' stalactites" to end in drops of gold, or disappear into tho project- ing designs of tile or arabeeque. Now, at last, one cannot help thinking, the laud of the ' Arabian Nights" is reach- ed. In a domed re-cetM in tbe garden, lit with fantastic lunicms, are tlio mus- icians, their voictM and music .it this distance rising aud falUug m weird har- moii.ous ca«l>;ncee, an effect tkit is quiikly di'scroyed on their approiiching nearer, for the Moors cannot discrim- inate between singing and shouting or callor of tbe £xrh«iuer and two of I he under secretaries of State dined -ifrilh us at table. A lull in th« music in the garden without tells ua that the muaiuiana have not been forgotten, but are feasting apace. Then Ijack once more to the recep- tion room, to seat ourselvjM upon a -semicircle ot chairs arranged a e<iual uiatances one from the oilier where we are sprinkled with roee and orange wa- ter from long necked silver sprinklers, and refreshed with the heavy scent of incense. Trays of green tea, in min- ute cups and tumblers, such as we would <ise for liqueur, follow, tray after tray, until the three cups apiece prescribed by Moorish etiquette are drunk. Then the musicians approach an<l seat them- selves under the anade without, a long row of men with inlaid guitars and violins and strange instrumeinta that have no name in English. But the proximity is too great, and what was music at a distance lieeomes noise at elc«e quarters. Beyond them is the garden, seen through the archee, half lost in sha<ly ghxim, halt appar^'ut in the bright moonlight and brighter flash of nimibera of lanterns. Again, the white-robed figures come and go, pass- ing and repassing each otlier, like ghosts among the trees, and the mem- IJers of the court and their attendiint soldiers and slaves w under at will along the tiled paths. A move is made, and, bidding our adieus to our host, we mount once more, and, surrounded by soldiers and servants bearing lanterns, seek our home in the SJaimounieh Palace.

During and after the liatllo tbe dog might scour the field looking for the woimded aud summoning help quickly. It would carry round its neck a flask containing a refreshing drink, and as soon as it found a wounded man the auimal would stand by him and bark until gome of the ambulance corjw came to the rescue. .After all, this is only a different version of what the famous St. Bernard du^s have lieen doing frum time immemorial when succoring worn- out travellers on the pass. So that the ambulance work is, perhaps, the easi- est lesson the dog learns, and it haa lieen brought to a very perfect con- dition by tht Kussiau Jager regiments. Wolf hounds aud sheep dogs are lest for this service, lieing especially valu- able in rocky and woodeil districts, where a wounded man, lying amongst uuiterwood or stones, is not easily seen by tbe members ot the ambulance corps. I'o teach the dogs their duly a dif- ficult piece of ground is chosen and a numlier of men, representing the wounded, disperse themselves about at the most out-of-the-way spots, lying face downward on the earth. I'he dogs are then sent in search. When an an- imal finils a wounded man he is taught to put his forefeet on tbe Liody and stand there, liarki'ig loudly. Au am- bulance cart is stationed at some dis- tance, and directly a dog gives tongue a relief party starts in the direction of the sound, the dog lieing trained to continue burking until the l>earers reach the s|K>t. II tbo 'vouuded man is only slightly hurt he finds ample material in Ihc! dog's aint'ulance pouch for a tem- porary dressing ot wounds whilst wait- ing for the ambulance liearers or a do<-tor, and can further gather strength from thoi soup or brandy in the flask around his canine deliverer's neck. As soon as the. ambulance lieaieis have car- ried away the wounded, tbe dog starts off anew to seek another subject of re- lief. It necessary, he is barncsaed in- to a little hand cart to ilraw the wound- ed to the field hospital, or to carry stretchers and provisions about the bat- tle-field. GUILTY AS CHARGED.
