Vancouver Iron and Big Oregon Company are
the Current Talk This Week.
VANCOUVER IRON PROPERTY.
Pennsylvania Mea Said to Be Buying
for Development.
Seattle, July 18. The Post Intelli
gencer states that managers of the
McKeesport iron works, in Pennsyl
vania, have been visiting the Pacific
ooast, and have secured sites for new
iron works at Port Angeles, after an
unsuccessful attempt to locate in Vic
toria, B. O. The belief is expressed
that the iron deposits of Vancouver
inland have attracted the attention of
these iron men and that raw iron will
be taken from Barclay sound, and else
where in the island, down to Port An
geles for working. It is known that
the McKeesport iron men have secured
options on three properties in the Barc
lay sound country, namely the Ander
son Company, another owned by Wil
on, Braden, Irving and others, and a
third the property of Thompson, Bra
den, Logan and Kains. An option has
been secured on these claims until the
end of the year, and before the begin
ning of next month between 400 and
600 men will be taken up to Barclay
sound to exploit its mineral wealth.
If development proves that these
properties are at all equal their prom
ise, it will mean ranch for Vancouver
island and for Victoria. The proper
ties in question run about 72 per cent
in pig iron, a very high per ceutage,
and one which envoked enthusiastic
expressions from the visiting magnates.
From these the raw material for the
Port Angeles foundries will be drawn.
The Galena, one of the premising
claims on the Gordon river, passed re
cently under bond to a number of East
ern capitalists. Active work will com
mence on this mine on August 1 and
will be continued .until the end of the
year. : A large sum is involved id this
transaction should it go through.
WILL WORK THE CLAIM.
Owners Waal a Showing; Made la the
, Hard Cash.
Oreenood, B. C, July 18. The own
ers have bonded the Hard Cash mineral
claim for f 20,000 to John Bodgers.
The bond is a working one, and so
much work must be made before the
first payment is made. The Hard Cash
U a fractional claim, containing 23
acres, adjoining the Golden Crown,
Winnipeg and the J. and K. The lat
ter claim is owned by John Rodgers,
and he recently uncovered a ledge on
the property near the Hard Cash line.
He, therefore, secured tbe Haid Cash
that both claims might be worked to
gether.

tion highly mineralized, giving assays
each day running from f 3.74 to 37 in
gold. The last shot at the face broke
into a well defined ledge, . showing
much blue quarts full of mineral which
may prove one of the most important
in the history of the tunnel. This
ledge is in different formation from
that of tbe other 22 and tbe good values

Gold Mining la British Celasabla.
The first authenticated discovery ol
gold in British Columbia, according to
Dr. G. M. Dawson, occurred at Mitch
ell or Gold Harbor, on the west coast
of Queen Charlotte island, in 1851, a
nugget weighing several ounces having
been accidentally picked up by an
Indian woman on the seashore. This
nupget was brought to Fort Simpson,
and, coming into the possession of the
officer in charge of the Hudson Bay
Company's post at that place, was for
ivttrded by him to the company's head
quarters at Victoria. An expedition
was at once fitted out, and, proceeding
to the spot, succeeded in locating a
quarts vein seven inches wide, "report
ed to contain 25 per cent gold in some
places." Tbe find was worked for
some months and then abandoned, the
i narrow vein ' entirely giving out; no
other indications of mineral were aver
found on the island, notwithstanding
that this extraordinary little seam ol
quarts had yielded in a few weeks it
was worked a value of 20.000 on tbe
word of one aathority, or 975,000 oo
that of another. About the same time

Vancouver island as far back as 1835,

THE DULL SEASON.
Railway earnings Are Good, However,
and Business Failures Few.
Brndtareote' says: Business is unus
ually dnll at this season, and this rear
no exception to the general rule la re
marked. A teview of the past six
months, however, gives little comfort
to pessimsts. Bank clearings, it is
true, are smaller by about 11 pr cent
than they were in the first half of 1899,
but railway earnings are about 10 per
cent larger, and business failures,as re
ported to Bradstreet's, are the fewest
reported for 18 years back, with liabil
ities of failing trades tbe same, with
one exception, and that last jear, since
1892. Winter whest has about all
been harvested tn tbe Southwest and
the yield tbere has been very large.
Copious tains in the Northwest, too,
have apparently worked some Improve
ment, judging from the more cheerful
tone of advices received from thenoe
this week. 1
Wool is dnll and manufacturers, are
supplying only actual wants.
In manufacturing lines dullness and
weakness are most marked In products
of iron and steel.
The settlement of labor troubles is
ejected in the better demand for build
ing materials at affected centers, while
rains in the Northwest have allowed
white pine manufacturers to open their
works, aud give employment to many
thousands of men. '
Sugar has been marked up again this
week, coffee is higher, while tea holds
the full advance scored on the outbreak
of the Chinese troubles. Wheat, in
cluding flour, shipments for the aggre
gate 8.018.832 bushels, against 8,184,
144 bushels last week.
Business failures in the United States
(or the week number 196, as compared
with 183 last week.
Business failures in Canada number
25 as compared with 18 last week.

A BUSINESS VESTRYMAN.
figured Oat How Much the Parish Lost
by Mialeterlal Kacnanaee.
, A clergyman who failed to recognise
the fact that his "settlement" Included
business as well as spirituality, was re
minded of his relapse, by ' parishioner
who did not think a two-thousand-dollar
man could afford to allow a fifteen-hundred-dollar
man to do his work.
"Harper's Drawer" tells how tbe cler
gyman was made to see the business
side of his calling.
. Some years ago, In one of my parish
es, I had a vestryman who was an ex
cellent man and my warm personal
friend. In the neighborhood lived a
clerical brother, an excellent apd popu
lar man, with whom I often exchanged
pulpits. His salary was fifteen hun
dred dollars and a rectory, while mine
was two thousand dollars, with a simi
lar provision for my shelter. N
One very hot summer, not being tn
good health, I exchanged several times
with him, so as to save preparing ser
mons. Ons day I went Into tbe large store
of my restryman to have a chat with
him, which be opened as follows:
"You have lately exchanged a good
deal with Mr.
"Yea, sir." I replied. "He Is a One
preacher, and every one in the parish
admires him."
"I know that," said he. "I like htm
rery much; but what Is his salary 7"
"Fifteen hundred dollars and a rec
tory." ' A "
"But what are we paying your
I told htm.
"Well,,, he put In, "have you consid
ered how much this pariah loses by
these exchanges T"
I told him I had not made that calcu
lation. "Nine dollars and sixty cents is the
toss per Sunday," was the statement of
this careful guardian of the financial
Interests of his parish.
RECOVERED HER TEETH.
Chase ef a Woanan Altera Pug that Bad
Takea Her Molara.
FhUadelphlans on Diamond street
were rery much interested the other
day la watching the chase of a young
woman stylishly dressed after a pug
dog. The wind was high and during a
gust that came around a corner the
young woman sneesed, gently at first,
and then with some degree of violence.
cry of alarm escaped her lips as
something resembling a string of pearls
fell from her mouth to tbe pavement
For an Instant the object glittered on
the sidewalk, when tbe frisky dog
bounded to the spot, picked up the
glistening thing and bounded off again.
Blushing, tbe girl, in ber perplexity,
east a wistful glance at tbe dog In tbe
distance. Quickly she placed her
trembling hand over ber mouth and
kept It there, while she started In pur
suit of ths dog. The chase wss excit
ing. Pedestrlsns paused to watch.
After many turns, rushes, dodges and
halts the pretty maiden caught the dog
at Tenth street Tbe animal fell pros
trate at her commands.
"Drop It Fldo; drop Itr she cried.
The dog obeyed, opened Its mouth
and dropped upon the pavement with
great reluctance the proud maiden's
set of false teeth. Exchange.
