Reobntly Mr.D.O.Corbln, President of the Spokane and Nothern railway, paid n visit to Nelson, and while there was interviewed by a representative of the Nelson .Miner. As a result of the Interview, the Miner makes Mr. Corbin say that although he intended applying at the coming session of tin* Dominion parliament for a charter for the purpose of building a railway into tli Boundary Creek dlstriot, he did not consider he would be jusl Hied in giving the district transportation facilities lor at least a time, hut that a good business might be done within tin* next two years. ».— In referring to the above wc do no do so with any intention to cull into question tlie, statement made by the Jliner, but rather tu shew lhat Mr. Corbin ditl uut wish tu disclose bis plans tun freely, nr that since his Interview with thu Minor, he has suddenly and very decidedly changed his mind, That such i.s the case, we refer our readers to a letter received by Mr. R. Wood of Greenwood, and published in another column. After perusing the letter it is safe to say nur rentiers will recognize that the railway question as effecting ihis district has entered upon a decidedly interesl ing .stage. So much su is ibis lbe case, thai the Bpeclacle is presented uf a reliable railway builder and operator, wishing lo give to lbe district transportation facilities, and tha; immediately, if unly the Dominion govern men! will be guud ennugli lu grant him permission in do so. And whal does this mean ? ll means I hat. til lost an opportunity is presented for lhe Provincial and Dominiongovcriinienls, lo forma correct idea of nol mil) lhe vnsl Importance of this district in a commercial sense, but as well of the grasping uud rapacious policy which bus up io ihe present, lieen pursued by I he land grabbing und charter-inongering fact ions, who have ever and anon cried down the possibilities of doing for years in come a profitable rail way business, Ihul lhey mighi cry up, the ueeessily of Iheir receiving millions nf acres of the public tb.main, or hundreds uf thousands nf dollars of ihe peoples money, for I hut which others oiler to furnish wilhoul anysuchconipeusaiion.

Co. Ltd. The annual generul meeting of shareholders in llu* Boundary Creek Milling and Milling Company, Ltd., was held on Thursday lust, 20th inst. There wits a numerous attendance of shareholders, and many others werojrepresented by proxy. Tbe directors' repurl and 11- liancial statement was submitted, and the secrotnay explained clearly the nu,re Important items of the accounts, The monetary position was shewn tn be that the company owes IjlJOO, in meet which it has a credit balance iu thobankof$2I3.aud Hills Rocnlvablo maturing shortly, $180, sn that its liquid assets are nearly throe hundred dollars, more than its cash liabilities, The mnl.inn of the President to adopt the repurl of the directors was opposed by Mr. D.

The president explained fully the reasons for the action taken by ibe directors in fhisi.latter, and maintained that Iheir action was most necessary, for had lhey not accepted Mr. McDonnells offer tore- fund tu the oompany all the money and shares the land hud enst tlle cnin- pauy, legal proceedings would have been instituted against the company fur the recovery uf d-bts it bud in her- wise absolutely no prospect uf paying.

They now saw that it bail dune so, and consequently tbe course taken was he considered the only way uut nf the difficulty. A lung discussion followed, and it seemed that the action of lhe dlreotors had the approval uf must if not all of those present excepting Mr. Holbrook.

It is intended to crosscut at tbe 1!!,) foot level, which it is expect t-tl, will be reach-ad about I vim February ulli. As the lode hud pre-1 viously been proved down to ID feet in - the old incline shaft every coulideuee! is felt that ,'jit the 100 font level il will be found fully equal, both as regards its sine anil the value of the ure tu *"'"* what it is nearer the surface. There is at pre-ent 10 or 20 men employed at the B. C. Suniinit camp, in connection with tha development of this very promising milling proporty, A few others are engaged on survey work aud in other ways, Tin- dimensions uf the neivly erected building, serving as both shaft hnuse and machinery house, are !-!0 feet by 70 feet and, at its highest part, above the poppet head, -Iii feet in height. Wnrk w ill in all likelihood, be vigorously pushed from nnw nn, sn with ll gnnd steam plant tu expedite development, the permanent value ur otherwise of the property should be demonstrated during the current year.

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING. Residents of Midway Endorse Mr. Corbln's Application for a Railway Charter. If Secured Building will Commence at once. On Thursday evening last a number of the residents uf Midway and a few visitors from Greenwood assembled in McNicol's Hall, for the putpose of discussing the railway situation. Very few hours notice had been given of the meeting, sn the attendance was not as large ns It ol herwise would have been, but what llu* ineeling lacked in numbers was inure than counter-balanced by tbe enthusiasm of those present. At about 8.30 order was culled, and Mr. .lames McNicol was elected to take tlle ehiiii*. and VV, H. Nun is was asked to act as secretary. Theclniifiiiiin after I banking Ihose presenl. fnt- the honor conferred upon Iilm, briefly antl pointedly explained tbe ohjecl of llle ineeling. which be .•'.id luui lieen called lo allow Ihe .' te residentsnf Midway an opportunity I "| giving expression to their wishes, "•'.Villi regard lo tbe question as lo wlieiher Ibey would endorse llleappll- cat loll tot* a charier to be made In the Dominion Cti.vernu.enl by Mr. D, (I. C.n-bin of the Spukane Fullsand North- em Lliiilwuy, whn is desirous of extending bis railway system into ihe Boundary districl, by crossing Uu* Inter- national boundary line at Cascade Cily, and following Ilienee up Ibe Kettle river lo Carsim and Midway, and thence on up Boundary creek for a distance of 20 miles, wbich roud would be kninvii as the Ketlle River Valley Hallway. ' For his own pact the chairman said be woe decidedly of the opinion that the Duininii mllo vern men i should favorably entertain Mr; Cochin's application, as iheroad ifhuill would he a great factor iu lhe development of lbe disirici. In response to a cull Ml-. Robert, Wood, of Greenwood, came forward uud explained thai In* had cm.it io the ineeling expecliug lo listen rather than In speak, nt tin* same time he was glad, he said, lo note the great interesl lhat was being laken not unly by the peuple uf Midway but throughout the whole distt let iu lhe mailer under consideration, He was greatly in favor uf Mr.Coi-biti gelling a charter therefore he hoped tlmt their efforts wuuld beat* gnnd fruil. He believed,l\hc speaker snid, that as wilh individuals, so wltb a community, there were]tlnies when opportunities presented themselves, and when they did, lhey should be embraced, At present he believed Boundary Creek's opportunity hnd come, and such being tlie case, everyone should lend every assistance so that it may be made possible for Mr, Ont'bni to build into th\*3 country, for should he do so, a great Incentive would be given tu others to follow his example, and that would mean that very soon the distriet would enjoy un efficient railway communication, a lack of which, was being severely felt, at the present time. Expressing a hope that all would work together, he resumed his seat amid applause, Mr. W, T. Smith who is a verynctive worker in Mr. Carbin's behalf, wns the next to address tht* meeting and in doing so said he was pleased tn endorse (he forinor speakers remarks, andito add that he believed if the people would impress itpon the Dominion Government the necessity of mulling Mr. Corbin a charter, thai the government would do so, and t hat would mean the immediate construction ofa railway. Everyone knew Mr. Smith said, whal railways had done for the Kooteoay and more particularly Mr. Corbln's road, and as the same gentleman was willing tu build in here wilhoul receiving any assistance frnni the Government, it was to be hoped his request for a charter would be granted, Upon a doubt being expressed by someone present that perhaps if Mr. Cut-bio got a charter he would not immediately commence construction, the chairman asked If anyone present could furnish docuineiitery evidence of Mr. Corbin's intentions. Replying to this Mr. Wood handed the following letter tu the secretary, who read it to lhe meeting:— Spokane, Jan, 15th, 1898, Mr. Hubert Wood. Greenwood City, B.C. Dear Sir,—As to ibe charter for ilie Keltle River Valley Railway which I propose lo ask the Dominion Parliament In grant, nt ils coining session, I desire to suy that I believe I shall tneel witli strong opposition, considerable of which will come from members of ibe Government and iu such action as your people may take in presenting the nialler through yuur representative, Mr. Bosloek, ynu cannot dwell two slrungly upon tbe following propositions: That while the Canadian PaciHc will probably build into thai counlry within the next year or two, your interests demand thai, you should have a competing line in order to iissute reasonable rates ; that tbe Ketlle River Valley Railway company propose to haul ores front puinls in llie Boundary Creek country to any smellers that. may he located on the lines of the Nelson and Furl,.Sheppnrd and Red Mountain roads at as reasonable rales as it will haul ores lo smelters located tin ihe Coluuiliia River is lbe United Slates, this practically making it a Canadian line of transportation in order to enable you to wt.tk them nl. nil I and that lbe Ketlle River Valley Railway with its connections will give ynu a competing line connecting wilh the wholesale markets uf Eastern Cnnitiln, fur the purchase of supplies, machinery, etc. Beyond a doubt, if the Canadian Pacific was the only line penetrating lbe Kootenay counlry to-day, llu* pro- ducers of ore would be paying $5 a tun fur freight and treatment charges, more than they nre paying, whether llu* ure wns sent out of the country or wui-ked in Ibis country. I wiil [be entirely fair nnd say Ibnl if the Nelson nnd Fori Sheppard and lied Mountain roads, were I be only lines penetrating llml country, the mines would probably he doing the same thing; antl this will apply to your country its well, I would like In be ndviseil of what ncl ion your people lake, and have copies of the proceedings of any meet- 'ng yuu may buld, ami of such pelilion as you may send to Mr, Bosloek, and it is desi.able ilmi.

Slimri", Haing, said thut he believed tlmt the majority of t-hepPople of ilie distriet favored Mr. Corbin getting a charter, and it whs well that he should, for if he built in here, other roads would also come along, and if Mr. Corbin was nol given the opportunity to build, then the dbtriet might he without railway connection for some time to come. Mr. Rickards spoke in very much the same'strain, ami others followed. The chairman then suggested that a commit lee be formed to take the mutter up and push it along, working in unison with olher committees in different parts of Ihe district. To ibis committee Messrs.James McNicol, C.J. Lundy and A. K. Smart* were 'li'i-h'il, With the unanimous wish of tbe meeting the above committee with iluee other mem hers added, Messrs. W. B.
