About $70,000 came down on the City of Seattle. Accurate news of $he cleanup Is difficult to obtain. Claim owners keep the results very quiet. It is the opinion of the Canadian customs officials at Caribou that much gold dust is surreptitiously being run down the Yukon to St. Michael when the officials are not on the alert. Such gold, of course, does not pay the roy alty now In force, and therefore will never be classed among the output of the Yukon district. BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Frechevllle, the stockholders have sent another committee to Rossland to examine Into conditions here. The committee has sailed from London and should reach the Kootenay metropolis In about a week. For the last week the Sunset, Jewel and B. C. have rejoined the list of Boundary shipping mines, although total ore shipments for the week are somewhat less on account of one fur nace at the Granby smelter having been closed because of lack of coke. Shipments were as follows; Granby mines, 6,117 tons; Mother Ix>de, 188 tons; Sunset. 120 tons; B. C. mine, 840 tons; Jewel, 240 tons; total for the week 9,206 tons; flrand total for 1902, 228,120 tons.

The Trade Dollar has been actively at work for a year, and is ready to do its part in providing tonnage Ben Hur is awaiting machinery. The Tom Thumb ia not only at woik now. but is building ore bins, and every thing will be ready for business when the railroad reaches the mine. The Black Tail and San Poll com panies have been waiting for machin ery before doing any more mining, and are waiting for the railroad to bring it in. Ore will undoubtedly be shipped as soon as the road can haul it, but nothing in the way of general development will be attempted. The Lone Pine expects to ship immediately. In addition to these properties that will be shippers when shipping Is in order persistent rumors assert that Patrick Clark has again taken hold of the Republic and will begin the re habitation of the mine soon.

Charles Huaaell Makes the Plea la Behalf of the OefeadaaL London, July 16.—Bow street police court was crowded when the investi gation Into the charge of high, treason brought against Colonel Arthur Lynch, formerly of the Boer army, wa8 begun.

"Lynch was in Pretoria January 16 1900," the solicitor continued,''. and wrote the Transvaal authorities notl tying them of his desire to take up arms.

Some Remark, on .the Practical Use of Bind ing Twine., What appeals to the .farmer, in th< matter of Twine, is satisfaction in use. and its economy. A poor article ii dear at any price. A clean, strong twine is a pleasure to use. In economy note the following fig nres, and see that a pure Manila, G5( feet to the pound, wilt tie more bun dles at a given cost than any othei brand. Estimating the cost to the consume! at the following prices we have: Allow ing 2ft per sneaf llbwill. bind I F •j!

Owing to its superior quality many consumers think the brand known a? Four Leaf Red Clover is the product o' some Eastern manufacturer, whereas it is made ill Portland, Oregon, as can bt seen from the tag on each ball. From Eastern farm journals it can be readily seen that the large Eastern manufac turers are responsible for the high price of fibre and maintaining the value ol Sisal and Standard twine. They con trol the Sisal fibre situation in Yuca tan, where all the fibre for the world's consumption is raised, and holding the market up to a price that prevents the smallei mills from getting fibre at a low enough price to compete with them. If farmers will only remember that 650 feet Manila is the cheapest in the end and use this quality of twine, they will develop our trade with the Philippines, which means an increase of population on the Pacific coast and broadening the market for farm products.
