A press dispatch from Phoenix saym While rumors to thai effect have heen in circulation fnr some lim*, it ia now definitely known that lhe Marcim Italy estate, nf Butte, owners of the Nickel Plate group of mines In ihe lower Hliuilkameen, have placed an order for a 40 stamp mill, which it ih expected will he in operation some time late this fall or early thU winter. The mill, which ia now in proees* of maun fact ure at Shethrooke, Quebec, will have a capacity of about !*») Ions nf ore per dav, which can lie readily in- cream d by the addition of mure stamp* to the battery. A location for the site for the mill has heen "elected, near the mouth of | Twenty Mile creek, which la ahoul Ave miles from the Nickel Plate mines, Th* location Is Indian land, adjoining Hedley City, and negotiations for Unacquiring of the laud, which have heen in progress for some time, are nnw about completed. When installed Ihi* Will be the flrst stamp mill erected in the Similkituieen district, the others nearest heing at Camp Mckinney and at the Ntemwinder mine in Camp Fairview. Owing to the secretive policy pursued hy the management of the Nickel Plate mine, little that is definite ha* teen officially given out in regard to the property. For the past tour years, however, a force of from 20 lo 91) men has been steadily employed at the mine and some months ago an air compres •or was placed on the property for the purpose of pinning development at a faster rate. The Nickel Plate ha* the reputation nf heing the richest mine in that section, and ia the only one tha* has heen systematically worked foraeveral years The ore Is said to run high in copper and gold, large bodies averaging 170 per ton. On the dumpare many thou sands of tons ot ore awaiting treat ment at the ne*v mill, he*ides murh ore fur smeller treatment. One inrii caiicn nf the value nf the property Is the fact that the owner*, for the la*i two yean or more, have heen buying up adfnlning mineral claims, until now they hate a large Mock. The Nickel Plate itself cost the present nwners IflO.OOi) some four years ago, and tbi* last spring two adjoining claim" were bought fnr 960,000 cash from parties residing in Phoeuix. Other claim* were bought at lower Hgiires. a decided improvement, Fiom the crushing of 2IAH t.ma taken froni 'lie dump the average value was $2.82 per Ion, with «n ext-action of 78 per cent.

A two week*' leal, of oie taken from the 800foot, level, the lowest working*, returned $8.60 per ton. The llW* in slime* amounted io about 10 per item in the values, This, however, will be saved when the new cyanide plant i« in operation, Kor the present the tailing* are heing aimed and Snpei-in tendent Charles O.itmih.irg estimates that the value* in name '.-ill more than repay the cost of the 200-ton cyanide plant. **■* .. ■ Danlei Backing Bennett.

At the present time only 14 of the 48 stamp* are in operation, and until ihenewJOO-too tyanlde plant ii Untitled, sometime alxmt the end of the year, no attempt will be made to run the big mill to its full capacity. Meanwhile the policy of the management Is to fully develop the resources of the Stemwinder mine. The slopes on the second and third levels are lieing pushed forward and a winie is heing sunk on the vein from the 300- foot level. At present there is over 8000 tons of ore broken down in the mine, so hy the time the cyanide plant is in operation and the 48 stamps dropping there will lie an abundance of quart* on hand to supply the dally requirements of some 176 tons. During the past few months several improvement* have been effected with a view to reducing the cost nf treat-I ment and mining. A Pelton water wheel, with a flume from Iteed creek, has been installed, and a saving over the costot steam power will shortly be had. An electric light plant has heen added. The numher nf stamp* ha* heen lncrea»»d from 20 ta 48 and an experimental cyanide plant put in. This last has demonstrated tbat the low grade concentrates and tailings can he treated and a handsome prolit thereby derived. Altogether President Richard Russell ha* heen bending hi* energies to place the Stemwinder mine on a profit-paying basis, should the English parlies fail to purchase th* properly. Without a doubt the mine I* one of the biggest low grade free milling properties In the province, and with carefnl management should pay large profits on the comparatively ■peaking imall amount of inverted capital It is alio satisfactory to note that tb* values, a* depth ib attained, ihow A.

MINING NOTES. Connection I* being mude, hy menu* nf a drift on the vein, lietween the old and new shaftsof the Providence mine, near Greenwood, The ore was found to lie a little broken up nl the if) font level so the shaft was deepened a few feet With the result that clean ore w.t* met with and this I* heing drifted on towards tne old shaft, distant about KM feet. This nre occasionally shows fr-e gold, whilst silver occurs in it plentifully, so good return* are expected from shipments to he made shoi-tlv. Altogether the outlook for the Providence I* regarded as satisfactory. Much satisfaction I* felt a' the prospect of the Snowshoe mine ere long considerably increasing its output. Geo. S. Waterlow, dj-puty Chairman nf the Snowshoe Gold k Copper Mine* Ltd.. after hi* recent visit In the mine and l-efiii-w leaving British Columbia for England rabled the secretary of lhe'Company in London that he was quite aaiafled with the prospect* of the. Snowshoe, and that afler the large hoist and other new machinery tn he shortly put in, shall have been installed, the mine will l»> in shape tn ship at the rate of 16,001) Ion* of ore n»r month, «Present shipments \\o not average more than one I bird that quantity, chiefly fnr the reason that the local smellers have not heen able tn accept more ore from the mine owing to fluxing nerersitie* calling for a larger proportion of irony nre, Information ha* been received from Fairview to lhe effect that ir. will pro- bahly he found necessary to stop some of Ihe stamps at the New Fairview Corporation'* (lamp mill, al its Stem- winder mine, until such time a* the cyanide plant in course of installation shall be ready for lhe treatment of the lulling*, for which the storage room ptnvided is already taxed .0 it* utmost capacity. As these tailings are estimated i.i contain value* to the amount of ahout $4-00 per ton it would Involve a loss should Ihey he permitted to escape, so it is considered hest policy to reduce the quantity of ore being put through the stamp mill foi- the few week* neces.-ary incomplete ihe cyanide plant and get it iu operation. Thereafter it will I*' practicable to keep the whole nf tha 48 »laiiips In the mill dropping. The lowest level of the Stem- winder is stated to he showing still fm ther improvement, wl.'h the ore body widening out beyond earlier expectations. ■i. i Boundary Ore Shipments.

Is not this the name man, whom th"Ckintiervatlvea in tfn-ir fruit ic efforts to regain power and 'he spoils of office, maligned and held up for t'xectraion on the ate uf the general election two year* mm? Why is it tbnt Mr Tarte is meeting with so wartn ji reception!' It i* tteC-ilM the people like tti hear What he bat* to say- He advocatel a higher tm iff. n national policy, Canada foi the Oanadian*. Th- Onttterttttlvr* say the Uheral* stole tbeir tariff, th-ir pnHfltiri cloth i ing. Hon, 0. E. Pnstet sUU*d that the theft includeil all but a friction of one per cent or one per cent and a fraction, we do not. remember which. it does uot make much difference, for Mr. Tarte proposes Ui sJe.tl this small remnant of tbe Omnerxatloet stock iu trade of political clothing, andjio leave Mr. Borden and Mr. Foster and the other Conservative* in pu'dic and pii- vafce life, stark naked hefore the world. If Mr Tart* succeeds in lii* scheme, it would appear that, the Conservatives might a* welt close up r-hnp and go out of business. The Ubai-al* of the old sch'sil have pa«sed awav, or are in a hopeless minority. The energetic courageous, forceful, Minister of Public Works is prohahly the most advanced thinker, tbe ablest e_|»nent of the new school of liheral thought, more in touch with the newly awakened thtole hing life that has come to Canada, than any other man in puhlic life. The cry of free tnde, tariff for rev enue only, of commercial union, reel- procity «ith the United State* is beard no more in the land. When the Con servative* were in power. Hon. Edward Blake and other Ibeorjtf* went through Canada promulgating their doctrines of free trade. They would prove in the most conclusive manner, that the workiuguian's shirt would cost less under a revenue tariff than under a protective tariff, yet ttie majority Mworklngineti would gn 10 the poll*, at the next election and vote for a conservativecanditate. The lil-eral-, when the conservatives were iu power, persistently advocated close commercial relation* wiih tlu- United States, and accused tile conservatives of pot lieing sincere in their effort* to obtain reciprocity. Frnm 1855 to WM there wa* a treaty in force hetween the Un iU-d State* and Briiish provinces, under which certain natural products were recinrocally admitted free of duty Within this period, the American civil war took place, and the dfferent province* enjoyed a large and profit able trade with the United States. This treaty was abrogated by notice jjivi-n hy the United States, (n 1871 tint Treaty of Washington was nego- liateil between (Ireat Britain and lhe United Slates: among other matters, it wa* agreed l hat the fisheries should he thrown open fora |K-riod of Wn years, and that lish and fish oil should lie reciprocally admitted free of duty, and that the United States should pay a stun, to he determined hy arbitration, for the privilege of fishing in Canadian water*. The arbitration was held at Halifax in 1877 j and the sum of Nve and oue half millions of dollars was a warded to Canada, which lbe United State! pnid. The United Sta'es authorities refused to renew the clauses of the Treaty of Washington relating to the fisheries. In ISSS, under the first administration of President Cleveland, the British and American authorities endeavored to settle the fishery question hy negotiating a new treaty, hut the United State Senate, which had a republican majority, refused to ratify it. Some time prior to the general election in 1888, there was a liberal convention held at Ottawa, and n platform was then adopt eil for the puny throughout, the Dominion. There was a pant, graph in thai platform in which which it was slated that the lilierals would, If successful in the approaching election, tin all in th-ir power to bring about closer commercial relations wilh the United Slales. There was no Mention nf iu'ei-provin cial intercolonial or Imperial trade mallei* In that platform, They also promised to reform the tariff, It I* doubtful if that platform brought victory to the liheral party It is more likely that the coercion pol Icy of the conservative party brought succes* to the liheral* and defeat to themselves. The conservatives had been in power for 18 years, and like all parties or men who are eni rusted wilh too long a lease of power, they wanted to coerce somebody. Moreover the conservatives were disorganised i Sir John Macdonald and his two successors In olBce were dend, and there was trouble about the question of leader- 'Ip, Sir Wilfred Laurier and the »if- men be took into his r_!>in_t, a gad piupoitiuii of wluw were not all thai time luesu t«rs of Pkrlhuueet, l.m wen Pnt-iDciai precuim, ko*-*- fell «**l tjjat tbe majority of Uw Canadian people were not inf»*s*r of free tr-nic or aiiytning approaching it: if lbe* had any doubts al-c-ot it, they bad on)}- Ui :«_e.(-1 upon the results of tbe elections between lWSatid IS* Tbey promised 'o reform tbe tariff, and they did reform it, but it is a question if ihey ever promised to reduce lhe tariff; ther reduced it cm att **-empe • nit very little, and jl mum lie borne in mind tbat to reform doe* not mean i,o miuce. aJid it mav nie«n ihe reverse.

Last week's story of Jolly Jack's par tlclpallon in the rush to the Big Bend of the Columbia made it appear that, this took place in 1889, but the old man's memory waa at fault aa regards the year, for upon looking up some further information relative to the diggings on French and McCulloch creeks it was found thai these attracted attention In 1885-68. Writing early In 1888 J. W, Northey then ed iter of the Roaaland "Prospector'' contributed the following information to the B. C. Mining Record : "Thirty vearaagoBIg Bend waa a busy place, a population variously estimated at from 8,(100 to 10.000 having heen then busily engaged in ettracting the precious metal from Ita ancient bed. And many of them were successful, fbr it was stated that between 94,000,0110 and 98,000,000 worth of gold was token out by placer miners in 1885 and 1808. Only placer claims were worked. No one thought of looking for gold In the benches or in quartz. Besides the methods of hydraulicing in those days were crude and unsatisfactory. Placer claims lhat did not pan out more than 910 a day per man were unproflt able. Provisions were dear, and the scenes enacted in the old Cariboo days were also characteristic of Big Bend. A steamer, the '48 was fitted out at Little Dalles wiih a curgo of supplies, and some passengers made what musl then bave heen a most venturesome voyage up the Columbia River as far as Lapnrte, where further progress was barred hy Priest's Rapids and lhe terrible Death Rapids,GO miles north of Revelstoke —as far north as ever steamer went nn lhe Columbia. The '49 afterwards came tn grief on a sunk en rock in what is now known as .Steamboat Rapids ju»t below Downie Creek. "The gold seekers in the Bend, loo impatient and perhaps tno impecunious (with provisions at. famine prices) lo try the deep diggings, heaid rumors of rich gold finds in other parts, and ihen there was an enslus, only a small percentage nf the pnpulal ion heing left io continue srrairhing the surface gravel here and there, mostly on McCulloch ahd French Creeks ;tributaries of Goldstresm, which empties into the Columbia about 54 miles north of Revelstoke. The Year Book of British Columbia however, tells a very different story to that of Mr, Northey aa regards the gold yield of the creeks of the Big Bend. Mr. Oosnell's account is this: " The flrst discovery on the once famous placer diggings ot the Big Bend was in 1885, at the time when the Cariboo eicilemeiit was at its height, and the chief rush was lu the following year, when several thousand miners flocked in from the south by steamer and from the west by a fall constructed from Seymour, at the head of Seymour arm of Shuswap Lake, to La* pone on t he Columbia. Placer mining was'in Its Infancy and the methods were crude, t rench Creek is reported to have yielded 932.000 In 1885, and 9100,000 In 1808. Four, six and even twelve ounces to the bsnd per day were obtained on some claims, and one nugget worth 9B3. was found. Its neighbor, McCulloch Creek, is credited witb another 9100.000 in 1808. and some ot Its claims yielded 9101' a day to the band. On French Creek asmall town sprang up; a sawmill was put up. and a very lively mining camp, with all the usual concomitants, waa in existence i while 8eymour at the bead nf Shuswap Lake, was another prosperous town, as the hase of supplies for the guldflelds. But the era of prosperity and activity was brief." But to get back to tbe perigrinalions and experienced of our old friend .lolly Jack, With others he pulled up the Columbia proceeding along the Arrow Lakes en route. He accouuts for the name of these lakes lu this way-the Indians passing up the lakes in their canoes used to Hre many arrows, nnmbei sot which the pioneer white men found sticking in the crevices in tht rocks along the sides of tho lakes, and so they named the lakes the Arrow Lakes. This statement is an ingenious one, at any rate, to account for tlie name, so il is given for what it is worth. Jolly further states that Indians, probably Crees or some Red Hiver tribe used to come across the Rocky Mountains to light the Columbia lakes Indiana. Other tribes he used to meet In his wanderings, were the Colville. Spokane and Kalmp.ll Indians, He always got along well with tbe Red men. for the reason he says, that he almyt "treated them white." Well, Jolly made for the Big Bend, and he relates at Wilson's Landing, at the head of Death Rapids, "an awful place, where lota of life was kit, he met one Jim Thompson to whom he had lent 9500. In 1851 in California. (Oontlnuoa on pagoU One of Life's Pleasures. There is nothing In life more enjoyable and at the same time so beneficial to Imth mind and body, as traveling.

Fifty cents a drink Wh had to pay there in those dayti." Over the di ink Thompson mude himself known; w.nt to South Amenca after Jolly lent bim that 9500, and had. Iieeu knocking alinnt ever since. Said he couldn't pay hack all ihe money then hut offered to share his gold duel .wltJi Jolly on account of the loan.' $n the gold mas divided and Jolly got. $291. worth, and that when he was aliout •Inoke"and needed it hadly.

Many a gond time they had togith i so Jolly says—"used to play crihhage fora week. He was a good, fellow, too; used to send home lo theii' friends thr gold watches and other vnlual>l»s of ihe men who got drowned." Jolly remained ahout two years in the Bin Bend country, hut says he never made more than a living although the < diggings were good "in planes, Then he went hack to Colville, For years afterwards the old man, after the manner nf that class nf pioneer, prospected, taking provision! fnr a week or two and going into the Slocan, Lardeau, or one or other of the luany sections of the Kootenay country on both sides of thn Boundary line that the wandering placer miners of twenty to thirty years ago used to intermittently prosdect. Eventually be made his home on Boundary Creek with which he has heen associated ever slnre, He ig no one of those given to telling ,uih fairy tales as those sometimes published to the effect that this creek yielded millions in the early fixlles. His caliin near the mouth of Douglas or Nor wegian Creek, for it bears both names, Is on a placer olalm staked many year* ago, but now bis connection wiih the Boundary uay le ; regarded as at an end, for in all human probability be will end hit days in tbe Institution to which he was lately taken. As mentioned at the beginning of this narrative of tome of his experiencea, the old man has so long been a familiar figure in the district that it is with genuine regret those who have known him for years pw see his cabin vacant, But there i [is consolation—It is liest. for him it fn his old age he he placed where will have proper care and comfoit NOTICE.
