I* 1 career as a metallurgist of high -landing lay before him. Mr. Johnson wns genuinely surprised and at first had little to say beyond tendering his sincere thanks for the testimony of goodwill and esteem he had re- ceiv-d, but by the time a couple (■of kegs of beer and several boxen of cigars he sent for arrived Be lmd collected his thought, so that he was able, as lie said, to "tell them all that was in his heart." He briefy reviewed his connection over a long series of yenrs with tlie Kansas City Works, Mo.; Leiniugton, Utah; El Pasco, Texas ; Aguns Calien- tes, Mexico: Nelson, B. C. and Greenwood smelters. Some of t.lk.wM *pve«ra«vfe \,t\.\ -cr.,i)\.x:a\ uiuler liiiii at all or nearly till of those [ places, and he assured them that if negotiations th en in pro gross looking to his undertaking the early erection of a large smelter in another part of North America should result in his doing tliis he would be happy to find room on his working force for any of. them slinulil they decide to work under him again. He was much gratified to find once again tbat harmonious and friendly feelings existed between them in their connection us employer and employed, and urged upon thoni that a continuation and general existence of this readiness to work together was a very important factor in insuring success in connection with tlie mining and smelting industries, especially in such a district as the Boundary, where all must pull together to make these industries profitable. Remarkable results had been achieved at tlie Greenwood smelter, in reducing the cost of smelting as well as in (making a record in tonnage, and in these achievements the employees hail taken nn important part liy doing their work well. In the evening Mr. Johnson entertained the men at. dinner at the Hotel Armstrong, where an enjoy aide time was spent until the party broke up just before midnight. of a delegation appointed to attempt conciliation of the Crows Nest miners' strike. The delegates are: W. G. Gaunce, Greenwood; P. Keffer, Greenwood; A. C. Fluniiiierfelt, Grand Forks; H. G. Seaman, Rossland; Chris. Foley, Vancouver, and McAndrews, Kaslo. They go at government expense. Manager Tonkin of the Crows Nest mines, when asked if lie would accept the mediation of the delegation, thanked the meeting for the interest taken in this matter. He would otter them any courtesy. He would give them access to tlie books of the company and was pleased that sueh a committee was appointed. In discussing coal lands Smith Curtis moved that the Dominion government be urged to open up tho 50,000 acres of coal lands in the Crows Nest country so that it might provide an independent supply of coal and coke and that industries might not be tied up. In doing so lie had no animosity towards any company. It was for tlie interest of the country. This resolution was carried and also one by F. H. Wollaston recommending that the dominion government open up the minerals of Indian reserves to prospectors. Another resolution passed of importance tothe people of the Kootenay country was: "That this association favors an amendment to the ininera act, that whore a mineral rtnvm Ims lieen »ubillvi_c<l ini*< townsite lots and a plan recorded, the mineral rights only, without any right to tlie surface, may be offered for sale for taxes and upon such sale being made that the government have power to vest any surface rights that previously appertained to such mineral claim in the municipality within which it is situated, as to streets, limes and highways and in the lot owners as to the recorded lots owned by them respectively," au 1 has accepted on behalf of the company the proposal t f a New York company to supply development funds. . As tliis company is itself only lately organized, and has other companies besides cur own tel finance, development funds will come to us slowly at the outset, and it luis been tlie work of ti.e secretary to try and slippli - ment the action of this coinpaiiy by means of a syiidiciile. It was not found possible to do this in the last three months, as tlie Canadian and the United States markets were very dull during the past year for mining interests, but with the advent of the new year a marked change for the better has appeared, and a circular to tbe shareholders will likely be issued shortly as regards starting development work again. i .■'-•■•'■ If you am going t© R* The Rathmullen Mines, Ltd. Tlie Kithmalien Mines, Ltd operating near Grand Forks B. C, has issued the following circular to shareholders: Since tlie last circular was issuetl on this subject (March 28,11)02), tbe directors have lieen working along the lines therein mentioned. The Knglisli proposal was laid in abeyance as, owing to the unsatisfactory condition of the London market, tbe London broker who was to underwrite declined doing so until better times. The secretary in the interim lias visited the Canadian, New York and Boston mark et A Neat Booklet on Patents We'have received from Messrs.

Several of the minor differences between tbe company and the miners hive already been over com3 mil there is every reason to believe that shortly after tlie arrival of the conciliation com mtttee a satisfactory settlement will be arrived at and that work will be a' on n rosim il. There is nothing new regard ing the V. V. & E. railway company to report this week beyond the removal of the surveyors from wliere they were camped, n'jiiir Molson, to a point near Boundary Falls. It is reported that they are running the final line between here and Greenwood, and that they will im- mediately commence cross-section but it is difficult to under stand just what they are doing or what their next move will be The C. P. H. company evidently did not prolit by the teach ings of the sedticminen two years ago, when that organixa tion compelled the compauy te recognize them as a union otherwise it would not have provoked the strike now in force in Vancouver, by refusing to vo- cogni/.e the brotherhood of tJ.:B.It. E. The strike wa. forced on the members of thai organization, they did not wisli to go out on strike but the company acted in such a manne; that it was the only course left for them tn pursue. No requests or demands for increased pay, shorter hours of service or conditions differing from those hitherto in force have been mule by the brotherhood or by the division in Vancouver, so tbat nothing has been done on tlie part of the men to bring about this strike. On the other hand the railway sompany has been dismissing employees for practically no other offence than that they belonged to the organization of U. B. R. E. The company's object is to crush the brotherhood, and for an employee to belong to it is sufficient to cause his dismissal. Lately a number of men have been discharged for ficticious offences and the organiiation has taken up the matter and refuse to serve the conipany and appeal to all union men in Vancouver and British Columbia to support their cause. As proof of the company's unwillingness to deal fairly with the men the Vancouver board of trade offered to namo a mediatory committee to seek to bring about a reconciliation between the brotherhood and tlie. company. Tlie president of the organization, on behalf of the strikers, expressed entire willingness to leave the adjustment of diffiereuc.es to that body or any other promising an impartial bearing and an early termination of the interruption to business, but when the general superintendent of the railway company was asked to leave the ndjusim.ntof differences to that body be refused to submit to it, invoked the strike by its un reasonable a stiors in dismissing employees. It hopes to crush the bretherhoo 1 before that o gani/«u o gains a stronger foothold, but it will never accomplish its object, the organization must be recognized The same cause that brought on the trackmen's strike two years ago has brought on the present one and the result will be the same, tlie conipany will, by its own actions, be compelled, and rightly, too, to recognize the the strikers as an organized brotherhood. The company in prolonging the strike shows eVen leas common sense than it did in invoking it It is unable, with everything running smoothly, to handle its traffic and every hour that freight is not moving increases its inefficiency to handle its business. Right here in the Boundary we have evey evidence of the company's lack of facilities for giving a good train service. There is scarcely a day but the passenger train is late going out as the engine has to work elsewhere along the line un. does not get through in time to return and pull its train out at the proper hour. This is only one instance of the C. P. It company's inability to give a service that is in the least satisfactory. With this state of affairs existing it would naturally be thought that the company would do all in its power to prevent a strike, but it appears that it would rather concentrate its efforts to crushing the brotherhood of U. R R. E. than to attend on jn-vrvidii&j- citlti. Hint cars for the removal of freight it has contracted to haul. Chas. J. Andren, one of tlie furnrce foremen at the B. C. Copper Company's smelter, soon after he came into the district in 1899, purchased from the late John Lindsay, of Rock Creek, 180 acres of land adjoing that held by Robert Wood and known ns the Rock Creek coal lands. Last week Mr. Andren sold his holding to the Ashnola Smelter Company, Ltd., whicli organization recently acquired Mr. Wood's land.

Early last Tuesday morning a futal accident occurred at tho Knob Hill mine, Phoenix. As the men were coming off shift about one o clock, two of their number_were found to be missing and a search revealed the fact that they had drilled a missed hole, the explosion killing one man, William Watson, outright and so seriously mangling thc other, John Salmon, that he has since succummed to his injuries. Watson was a young man about 23 years of age, whilo Salmon was some ten years older. Both men were natives of Nova Scotia and had worked at tlie mines in that camp for many months, and were capable miners and well liked by their comrades. Watson's father, who lives on a ranch near Republic, took the remains to that place for interment, on Wednesday. Salmon's funeral took place yesterday to the Greenwood cemetery.

The above is tho title of the painting reproduction presented by the Free Press, Winnipeg, to the renders of its weekly for the month of February. The rough, shaguy cpated cattle of tbe Scottish Highlands, so different fn ni the cattle of our .'anadinn Northwest, are admirably depicted ■•■ this excellent copy of Watson's celebrated painting. The animals are grouped in the foreground and have the form pf an irregular pyramid with the leader of the herd.a picturesque figure, at the tipax, a-ulj this is agree. ably balanced by the masses of mountains to the right and left o (he picture. Clouds floating tlirough the misty atmosphere give a pleasing variety of color and value byi the shadows v, hich they enst upon the landscape. The pictures of W. Watson are seldom seen in exhibitions for the reason that his success gin the painting of animals lias l.iicii so great that for ninny years his work has bien pur chased before it. left his easel. He rarely paints more than three or four pictures a year and all are executed with the completeness and painstaking attention to detail shown iu "Highland Cattle."
