MONDAY. FEBRUARY 21, MM. EDITORIAL NOTES. As might have been expected, due consideration being given to lhe evidence adduced before the Co...mission which recently sat in connection with the alleged mat-administration of justice oo the pan of Ilis Honor Judge Spinks, judge nf the Co..nly Court uf Yale, tbe Minister of Justice after reviewing the.suid evidence, lias rendered a decision in which Judge Spinks is completely exonerated. T'huse of our readers who paid attention to the case, and perused the verbal in. report of the evidence .published in this paper wuuld no doubt long ago have conic to conclusion lhat if the matter was weighed impartially, that only cold justice he n.eled uul, by the rendering of such a decision. Some adverse criticism having appeared in other than provincial papers, re the standing of the Tin Horn Quartz Mining company of Fairview, llie principal shareholders and managers of the company have deemed it advisable toiiiakei;a statement as to the condition of affairs as they are at, the present, time. They sav as follows: "We have mil iced the report Iu tlle Toronto World of January 20lh thai all ihe Tin Horn miners hud been discharged and tbe inine closed inilclin itely. Also a statement in some of the niining journals ihal tin-mill had heen built where water could uol be obtained to run it. Both of the statements are untrue, We discharged some men who were working in our niines who were not giving us satisfaction. The Tin Horn is being worked and the mill is running. Tne position of affairs is ns follows; In taking oul lbe me the superintendent considered Hint the cnuntry rock wns well enungh mineralized to mix il wilh the ore and sliil have a good average. Therefore the ore was nol. sorted. This was a mistake. As the dumps are covered with snow at the present lime il is in.pussilile to assort it now, We are con* tldent thill the mine will prove a paying one, We may suy lhat we have spent $i*i,0OI of our private money m. i. already. Work is progressing on the mine and a new engineer placed in charge. Il will take snme time to rectify the mistakes made, and in tbe meantime an arrangement has been effected by Which the mill is working on the ore of the Wluehesterand Stem- winder properties, and the runs are proving very satisfactory. We bold two-thirds of I he slock of the Tin Horn company, and while we cannot expect Immediate results, still we are sattsMed with ..or Investment. We have lhe hest mill iu British Columbia Jand it works perfectly. The shareholders can rest assured that everything will be done to ensure success." Dinit. Davidson & RUS8EL, With regard tn the above statement, we may say that we are able from personal observations to bear out tbe assertion made, that, much country rock was ...ixed wilh the ore placed in the bins prior to the starting of the mill, and iu fact so much cnuulry rock was there mixed wilh the ore, thai it elicited our surprise. As to whether the ore will prove to he of a paying grade when sorted we will not pretend to say, but shuuld il. not prove so, Ihen would we l.e much surprised, fur it certainly looks of good qualify. As lo the adverse criticisms appearing in iln* press, it may be well lo discuss ibis question a lillle, and in doing so we must.say that it is often the lnuii of the management of public companies and is the outcome of loo conservative a policy being extended tn llu* press and public. Willi regard to co.por- ..lionsof a private nature,naturally nu one expects Informal loll ns in their affairs, hut it. is rlilfeie.it will, com* panics seeking public support. Willi these, it should l.e the aim of every management to keep ihe public thoroughly acquainted will, the standing of lb*, coinpaiiy, the circumstances In connection will, the development of the properties iiu.li*.' their charge, and lhe probable and ultimate success or fuilu.e of Il.e enterprise. If at all times such a policy were pursued, ... greater amount of confidence would be engendered, and lhe press and.public would be less Inqusttive and more inclined to be tolerent. when taking into consideration any little mistakes made of lent lines with the best of Intentions, by not only Inexperienced but as well experienced mining men. These remarks need not necessarily be applied to the above mentioned company, in fact, as lhe ni... held ill view, is the discussion of the subject in [a broad sense, we would that our words be so construed. Re the management of the Tin Horn Quart''. Mining company, however reticent they might formerly have been, they certainly, having made a public statement, have made n perfectly frank one, and ns the lion-success of,'this company so far, is bused on lhe error made ill not soiling the ore before putting it through the slump mill, the public ami those directly interested may reasonably look forward to a greater measure of success, when the mill is again operated upon Tin Horn ore, *♦ FAIRVIEW NOTES. (From our own correspondent.) As u resull of the splendid success attending the recent run of Stemwinder ore through the Tin Horn Quartz Mining Company's mill, there is every reason to feel that the halcyon days of old are gliding buck to Fairview. A 100 ton sample of ore was tested, with the result that $1,000 was taken from the plates and it is said concentrate were saved of an equal value. Thus it will be seen the ore yielded at the rate of $20 a ton, which to say the least is something unusual, Work is progressing favorably on lbe Joe Dandy mill, and if the present rate nf progress is kept up, it will not be long before the stamps will l.e dropping. The uprise in the Smuggler will soon connect with the shaft, having only IS feet furl her to go. Mr. W. II. Smith, of Matheson k Co London, Eng,, who is with them at Deloro. Out., is here examining the Smuggler .nine with a view to furnishing the directors of the Smuggler Company with an exhaustive report of the property, 4,4 Shuswap and Okanagan. The revenues derived from the Shos- wap and Okiinagan line show am Increase ns sliited in Il.e public accounts, the returns being for lhe year ending 30l li of June 1H07, $10,1-17.10 as against $0,071.87 in 1SIIII. Even with the Increase n balance $311,1101,(11 is left to he made up out of lhe revenues. Examining these figures nnd nl the snme time hearing in mind lhe very large iucreuse in traffic which is apparent to all ami as a consequence of the rapidly pi'ogresslngdevelopment,(ifthe southern portion of the Yale district,' one is" forced lo wonder that the revenues derived by the province fro... the S. k O, Is so iiisignilicent. To the casual observer it would seem lhat this line which extends from Sicamous to Okanagan Landing, on the Oka- n.lgan luke, should be a paying une, and many who lake the trouble todiscuss lbe .nutter at nil, wonder thnt itis not. Thut it is not is suggestive that a very poor bargain wns driven wilh the C. P. R. with regard lo tlle share of revenues to be derived from tlle traffic. Just why it is these subsidized lines are such an unrrniuneruiive Investment as far as the province is concerned should be made perfectly plain In the electorate, anil if Ibis were done without the slightest reservation, a peculiar state of affairs might be shewn lo exist. Before gnu.ling aid In projects of a si.nil.ir mil..re il. would be well fur the government lo take the public a lillle more into its confidence um n Ihis question. OSOYOOS MINING DIVISION.

A." is a vein about 'iu inches wide, with a pay-streak of 4 to 12 Inches; from this S,(*$l lbs. of ore was shipped to the smelter, giving $103,16 gold per ton, silver 74 7-10 ozs., and 2 per cent. lead. A tunnel is lieing driven on this vein from which ore is being taken. On the snuie property is a larger vein (quartz) carrying galena and pyrites. The " G. A. 11." has a 30-foot shaft sunk on a 2-foot vein, heayily mineralized with an intimate mixture of iron and copper pyrites, galena, blende and silverglance. Tbelincst pieccsofwiresil- vet-found onBoundaryCreek were taken from this shaft. Average assays fro... different places across tin* vein gave $S.0O gold, 50 oz... silver; also $8.00 gold and 130 ozs. silver and one, the Ial est return—$16,05 gold and UXI-l-5 ozs. silver per ton, On the "Big Ledge" is a 10-foot, quarlz vein, mineralized with iron pyrites. This vein has been opened iqi by cross-cuts on the surface for 600 feet, A narrower vein has been opened up; being one foot wide, carrying considerable copper pyrites, and runs into the main ledge as a spur, on wbich a tunnel of -10 feel has been driven. Average assays gave $33 gold and 11-10 ozs, silver, and $40,86 gold' 171 ozs. silver, 2 per cent, copper. Tl.c "S. F." lies l.cl weed the G. A. II. and D. A., in lin. direction of ihe strike on the G. A. ti,. vein. This location has a . u tie on a vain of py.'.'li otite. The "O. B." has two distinct veins i one 23 feet wide whicli, from its strike and general character would seem to lie fhe same vein as thai on the Big Ledge, all hough sufficient has not been done to make this conclusive. The second vein hns at, present a width of nearly three feet. Assays have shown values in gold from $4,00 to $170,63, while a conservative sampling liy Mr. S. S. Fowler, M. E. gave $20.00 in'gold, On the "*S. II. B." are two converging veins of copper and iron pyriles, on which work is now lieing done. An average assay gave, gold $1.31), silver 10? ozs., copper 11,06 per cent., or $1(1.41 for all values. The " Fred ti." was located ill De ccinh.T,' 1805, more as ground for a basis for mining operations for lbe olher claims than for its present value, although there is little doubt that the large vein on Ihi* O. B. runs through it. The... isa small vein of galena on this claim, The ".I. A. 0," has a large iron- capping riiniiiug through if frum the Anaconda, at a deplh of a few feel, '11..* ore carries a considerable percent age of of copper and $10 in gold, The remaining slxflalmsare all good prospects, but as yet very little development work has been done on llieni. r f This company is registered under the Companies Act, 1890, and amending acts, in the office of the Registrar in Victoria, B. C, for 1,500,000 shares at $1.00, non- assessable, of which a portion of the Treasury stocK is now offered at 10 cents a share on application to the company, \k 4 Certificate of Improvements. Notice.
