POST OFFICE STORE HAIN & CO. Iiil EASTERNERS CONFUSED Mix up Legitimate Mining1 with Share Speculation. HON. SMITH CURTIS EXPLAINS To Montrealers how They Have not Lost as much as They Thought Through War Eagle Speculations.-Nelson Miner makes Some lJxcellent Comments. In his usual forceful nmnni'r linn Smith Curtis is telling iho people bf Eastern Canada some very plain Inillis regarding tlio mining Affairs nf British Columbia.. For instance, he."ays, the people in thi* east huve confused legiti- mute mining wilh share s|ifr:uliition. He qiioh'd from ii conversation had with a citizen of Montreal who declar- pd thul tin! people of that city, hud josl $25,(100 in Ilie mining craze. An Ollawa paper itiadp tlie siatenient thai $30,(Klb,(J00 had lieen losl in lhe shjire buying of some twenty-two min* hig companies, mostly British Columbian. This conclusion ho said had lieen ariived al hy taking (lie difference be- tween ihe highest und lowest price al Which the vaiious shares had lieen quoted; for instance, the 1,750,000 shares of War Eagle were credited with a loss of the difference hetween $!i8S, the highest market price, ui.d He the lowest (then) price, or a tolal loss of Sli.5lo.000. "Let me tell ynu how wrong I Iiis conclusion is. -Gnodei ham and Bluckstnck, the promoters, have always kept a majority, prohahly $1,000,000 of the shares ; lhe puhlic got Shout 760,000 shftrfts ; nut ul $3.88 a share hut at prices ranging from (K)c up. The number of shares actually sold at S3 S8 probably never exceeded S.OIX), 'Here has been no real loss lo Guilder limn and lliuoksloeli on ill" shares tliey have kept, as, doubtless, the shares they did sell tlie public, te- eouped lliem I'm any money advanced. Tile average loss per share 10 the pule lie does not exceed $2 per share on lhe 76(1,000 shares, or a total loss of $1,500,- (KM, and 1 veatuie to say that not one third of that loss hus lieen borne hy Montreal people. So 1 could go on through the whole list." Mr. Curtis might huve gone a Utile further and shown that the money ihat wa* lost in War Eagle slock speculation was foritVd'hy another portion nf the people in Eastern Camilla and ihutil did lint go towards developing ihe mines of the Koot enuj s. The War Eagle was purchased hy the Gooder- hiiui Bluckstock syndicate for something less than $700,000 from Patrick Clark and associates, und wus reorganized In ■ .(unitary. 1807. The capital stock was increased fiom $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 and lb" shares disposi d of were sold to the public at a prolit to the syndicate until l,75O,C0O shares had been issuid to the. puhlic or thc promoters. Thei'oinpuny began declaring dividends until $515,250 hnd been dis- tubuted among the stockholders. Under the stimulus of the dividends the price advanced finally to $3.88 per share. As only a few hundred of War Eagle shares were held in the Kooleu- ays uud ns ihere wns hut little trading in them here the question is who made the money that was distributed in dividends and hy selling out tlie shares al an advance on the price pnid for tin in ? Certainly u.ot the people of the Kool- einiys. There'wus no assessments levied und no funds came front ,East- eru ('uiiuda for developnienl, lt wus a portion of the people of Eastern Canada who made the profits. So the losses caused in Wur Engle stock I cully meant that whnt emu section of the community lost Ihe other gained. So fur as Montreal is concerned Ihe rise and full of the slock simply mcunt, through ihe fortune or misfortune of speculation, that snine tif the citizens were enriched and olhers impoverished, Nu large sums were taken out of the general wejilthoflhe community by tlie speculation. The War E igle Is heiieved to he n good mine, lis ledges nre i ich in places nnd in other the values ure small. A section of the ledge whicli was low grade wus encountered und owing lo this and olher causes has ceased lo pay dividends. When another rich section of the ledge is developed it should resume payment of dividends. It is passing through a peiioil which Is common fo most mines uud Unit il will come oul nil right seems almost certain. It is wrong for the people of Eastern liana.Iii lo charge Ihe mines of Kool- etinys and Yule for their losses whieh should I'ltlhcr he set down to reckless slock speculation and is not In any way due lii lhe mines, but. rather lo over Oiipilalizutioii, to the devious ways of promoters. The experience of the War Eagle is n replica of many others on wlii.-li slock losses have been experienced hy '.hose who speculated in their shares. It Is doubtful, however, if $80,000,000 of outside capital has been put Into legitimate mining In tlie Kooleuuys und Yule. In conclusion Mr. Curtis points out how rapidly the mining inlerests of the Kootciinys and Yule, nre increasing iu value und in-ks the people, of Eastern Canada the pertinent question if they are going to allow tliis increased value to go entirely to outsid.'irsor not. —Nelson Miner. G. P. R. HASJFILED PLANS FOR RAILWAY EETWEEN MAIN LINE AND MIDWAY y. V. & n. INJUNCTION CASE. Written Decision will be given alter Sitting of Full Court. The adjourned argument nn the application of ihe Yule Hotel Compuny, Limited,.and the Grand Korks & Ketlle River Hallway Company, us plaintiffs for au injunction restricting the defendants, the V. V. k E. llailway Compuny, from entering upon lands of the plaintiffs, wns lieurd liefine Hon. Mr. Justice Wiilkem. Mr. W. H. B. Clement, for the plaintiff, completed his argument on Saturday. Tlie Y'ale Hotel Company own about a mile along the tight of-way, and thr* Grand Forks k Ketlle River Railway Company object to the V. V. k E. crossing their line on the I'hoenix liranch. The grounds of objection are common to both plaintiffs, the main contention being that ihe defendants have no right lo build the line thev are now construpliug. Tlie plaintiffs further object, that the defendant's Charter has lapsed, inasmuch us no work has been performed wil hin the two years specified by Iheir charter. The defendants in answer to this say that cert aiu wmk wus done in the neighborhood of Pen ticlnn in 181:8, but the plaintiffs enden- vot lo unci ihis liy contending that this work wus done by Mackenzie & Mann under their .written em tiuci wilh tlie British Columbia govern ment, and not uiuler lhe V. V. A E. ulmi'jt***, Another irasuii julv.ue eil by the plaintiffs for tbeir injuue.iion is that t he defendants have nm llled plans of Iheir line. The defenelcnt's answer to ihis is thut ii"cording to I lie Railway Act it is not necessary to Hie plans for the entile line, and that il. is sufficient if plans are Hied for the particular section ou whicli work is lining proceeded A furlher ground of lhe plaintiffs is that ihe line being built is not author ized hy the charter, which only provides for one branch line lo Intersect tlie boundary, nnd whereas the line which defendants are now construct ing crosses the Inlerinition.-il boundary ut three points within a dislance uf 10 miles. The final contention of the plaintiffs is.that the work is being car ried on ill the name nf the defendants liy tlie Great Northern Railway Com* puny, whose engineers havechaige of tlit* work, whose contractors are i lidding the line and whose money is paying for the work. The plain tiffs suy this is an abuse of the defendants' churl er und Unit the law does not permit such u practical transfer of the defendant company's powers In a foreign cm pot ul ion, or the use. of defendants'chui ter for such a collateral purpose. The defendants argue Unit the arrangement helween lie msclvcs and the Great Noi tln-i n, under wliieh lhe work is being done, is perfectly legal and proper. A. II. Macneill, for the defendants, took lhe ftuther objection thut by reason of plaintiffs laches, they ure nol entitled lo an interim injunction, and that even if ihey jire right, Ihey allowed defendatils to go ahead and do consideralile work on ihe properly liefore taking any objoc- tion. lu the injunction case of lhc Y'ale Hotel Co., Ltd., and the Grand Forks Hallway Co. vs, tne Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern Railway Co., which has occupied the ulletilion of Justice Wai keni, and which wus adjourned on Ttnsday when Justice Walkr in announced (lull he must lake some lime to carefully look over ihe papets und examine the authorities quolrd liy counsel hefore giving judgment, a decision was given yesterday, Justice Wiilkem allowed lhe motion miido for the cnnliniiuneo of tlie injunction in each case nnf.ll the hearing of the aclion.

Will Begin at Midway and Run Through West Fork, Similkameen and Nicola Country. Arrangements are being perfected by ihe Canadian I'acilic Railway Company for the eonsii'iiclion of a line of railway connecting Spence's Bridge, ou tlie mainline, and Midwny.the presenl terminus of the Colunihia k Western, says the Victoria Times. Plans were recently llled showing the route of this new railway, After leaving Spence's Bridge il will take a southerly direction, passing tlirough Nicola and Ashen Grove to Priucelou, the chief town in the Siinilkauieen mining dislrict. Tlie railway will ihen take an easterly route towards Penticton, at the fool of Okanagan lake, and from there will climb the divide separating ihu Okanagan river from Ihe West Fork of Ketlle river, It will follow the valley of the West, Fork to Kock creek and thence to Midway. While the contemplated railway whi nnt make tlie most direct route from the coast to Kootenuy, the conipany contends that it wiil afford as quick und easy means of communication he- tween the coast and Kootenay as can be secured by any competitive route. Tlie railway will pass through distiicis that have been only awaiting Hans- portal ion facilities lo ensure rapid development. Siinilkauieen is rich in copper deposits and coal measures ; the country to the north, Nicola, offers many inducements to the cattle man ind agriculturist, and the country Iriiiutnry to ihe West Foi k of Ketlle river is rapidly coming to the front because of the richness of ils mineral resources. In this connection, it may he staled thnt tin re is un uueoulirmid rumor that the Canadian Pacific Railway Coinpaiiy will secure the Midway i- Vellum charter and build this liue in oub r Unit the West Fork country may he more fully opened up, The C. P. R.

One of the questions which W. A. Galliher M. P., will 'ake up when the Dominion house meets is that of pulling a mail clerk on the Boundary train lietween here and Nelson, the quantity of mail handled being now sufficient lo justify the necessary expenditure. This would be a very great convenience and it is to.he hoped that Mr. Galliher is successful in obtaining tbis great need for the portion of his constituency effected by the addition of this improvement to the railway mail service. Another important matter, arising from his constituency nnd one which will receive his attention, is the question of imposing un ini port duly on rellned lead and lead pro. ducts, that Ihe way may be opened for development of all industries wiih whicli lead is connected, Mr. Galliher stales that he has read with satisfaction the news thai the Canada PuintCo. had in mind tlie corroding of lead and tlie making of paints therefrom. That company does not seem disposed to ro ahead until there has been a duty imposed on the goods it will manufacture, The Murysville pi ople also state that they will make white lead and as it has beeu the understanding that protection would he grunted as soon as auy fit-in was in position to supply Ihe needs of the country, it is probable tbat the necessary legislation will lie passed this session, The west has heen paying duty for long enough to help oul Ihe eastern manufacturers, und lt is about lime that the east helped out Ihe west to this extent. .'ouulry abounding iti nearly all classes if precious metals. It may not he as easy to extract them from tlie earth as to wash the gold from the creek, but Ihere fire less uncertainties about it. As a comparison of how much more certain it is to make money out of quartz than out of placer, we huvt; only to refer to the old timers of this country. Uow many old timers are tliere in this country, who located claims in the early days uud sluyed with them, thut ure not either well off today, or have made money out of their properties ? They are very few indeed, and are the exception rather than the rule. Dot if we follow the history of the placer miner we Ilml that it is entirely different. Of the numher that engage iu placer mining, lint few ever make a fortune out of it. Then taking tlie experience of those who have engaged ill quartz mining and those who have engaged in placer, and observing lhe large number who have made money out. of the former, nnd the equally large number who have lost money at the latter, is it wise, we ask, for miners to leave this rich country that is so full of promise, to go north nml face the dangers and suffer the priv.ition. incidental lo prospecting in a country that is away from civilization, iu an endeavor lo belter Iheir condition. We have iu this immediate country much territory that is only partially explored and where a man stands as good a show of making a Hnd that will bring him more money than will he made unt of the hest placer in the Horsefly. It would lie well for those, who are contemplating leaving this country (n the spring lo explore the Horsefly, to remember the old adage "Fiir off fields look gieen" and to consider well lhe rich resources of ihis greal mineral country, und the vast Held it affords for prospering, hefore they definitely decide on chasing the rainbow in search of the mythical pot of gold.

Procter, of Vancouver, hai published a small book on the financial' position of the province, or, ns he lulls it. The Financial Crisis iu British Columbia. Iu this the slate ot the budget of th1! province is reviewed from the standpoint of un expert accountant, The author opens with a general statement of the revenue and expenditure f '!• past years under topical headings and analyses the probability of the in crease or decrease of each, He argues that it is unlikely that in nny department of expenditure much reduction can be effected except in thut of public Works, nnd under this head the amount spent imw is noi as large as it should be. Foi the foot years previous to 11)00 the annual deficit w_sabout $115, 0110 uml the average excess of expenditure over receipts for the past fourteen years wasnlioul !J7 per eent. The author then passes under review the various items set down iu the financial statement us assets, and ij rgiies that i hough these cost money it is doubtful whether such things as road*, trails and bridges can be called realisable assets, while asio wild lauds, th° receipts from these have been in eluded intbe receipts of the year. The amount, contributed Ip tbe Do minion treasury in Ihe customs and other duties levied hy lhe federal au thoritles is then commented upon and il is shown that since the province joined Confederation its people bave paid into the Dominion treasury $15,- (KM.lKKl more than the Dominion has expended in I ho province, From these figures he almost approves the foresight of those who opposed ihe union and contends lhat the terms should he adjusted. The terms are now unjust and an injustice should be removed or remedied when it is found that an injustice exists. He advises tlte members from the province sitting in the House of Commons to stand together ou this point, independent of party, until just ice is secured, With so large an area to develop us this piovince bus, its presenl revenues nre inadequate and a basis should be arranged by which t be province would procure a definite proportion of the revenue rolled ed liy the Dominion, not thai the Dominion should spend more money in the province. Mr. Procter jtloscs hy urging nil persons interested Ud together until this most im IJtistment of linaucial re- feted. There is little doubt Init when spring opens I here will be a rush tothe Horsefly placer diggings. People from all parts of the province will start for tlie new Eldorado in hopes of making a fortune and as bus been the history of ol her great placer strikes, some wiil make a slake, while tliere will he the ordinary quota of unfortunates, who will experience nothing imt bard work. It is reported that the discoveries on the Horsefly excel those of California in 'III, ot those of ihe Klondike, which in 1897 so startled I he world, and which since then hus heen such an abundant gold producer. To those desirous of following mining as a means of milking a stake and who are nt present living in other than a mineral producing district, it might he advisable for Ihem lo go to lhe Horsefly country, but it might he well for anyone living in the Hoiindary country to consider the matter seriously before they decide on leaving litis country .'to try their luck in the Horsefly. Did 11 ever occur to those who are contemplating abandon- ingthis rich mineral country to go north that they have a Klondike or Really the Americans do love something Royal. Tbey are not satistled unless they have some scandal connected with the Royal family to gloat over, or else having some little Royalty from some other country to play with and iiiaul about, nnd in these things they show their appreciation of triumphant 'democracy, According to Carnegie, in bis now forgotten book, America is lbe one country in the world where perfect conditions of government exist. Republicanism has solved the worries of Com t nnd King and Empires, and in the moderately economical rule of l he musses nn fur ther improvement could lie made, and in the enjoyment ,nf tbe system tin* American has come to realize that Royalties are, after all, hut human and only, at ll.e best, mere men and women. Thul sounds nice for a theory and in some instances might become good electioneering mailer, but alas, bow far is il trom lhe actual condition of things, and bow awfully uuiiisini* it becomes when we think of the past nnd of the present, of the people when brought in contact with what one American culled the unclean thing. When our own King wus in America many years ago didn't the American people rave about him, and even today we hear stories of fabulous sums paid fnr seats near him in the theatres, fortunes spent for introductions und for invitations todin letsund parlies, and for yeai* afterwards we hear of many who could uot, or would not, talk of anything save what the dear Prince said or did in the land. And now another potentate is coming and the land of the stars and stripes is getting ready to show its worship of Ihe triumphant democracy hy dancing attendance at the heels of the Prince Henry of Prussia. It will he a Duke of York tour over again, wilh just the same gush and expedition the same satisfaction and the same sore heads and disappointed trumps, hut, it won't be so long nor so much chronicled, at any rale, in our Canadian papers. The purpose, too, of the visit is of sueh vast Importance, ihe tremendous lusk of naming a ship for the German Emperor, and, nn tlieside, the gracious job of clawing While House Teddy's buck and getting the Ini|ieiiiil hide clawed iu return, Diplomacy has many crimes laid to its share already, and this show will lie one more and perhaps tlie silliest, uf them all, lint then, you know, Germany is niter Mends nnd this chance of wheedling in is too g i to loose and so, of course, the "Iron Hand" has to come and suy "how much William loves you and how anxious be is to be your friend, and incidentally take yon in and do for you," We pity Prince Henry. He is not a hud soul in his way and not quite so great an egotist as bis Imperial brothel', and weure surehe must shudder at the prospect of having the men and dames of the American plutocracy paw bim over as if be were a different lieing from other men. We are sure be must devoutly wish his present visit was like his lasl, when he went through the country unknown lo anyone but the police force, uud wc imagine he will enjoy the recollection of his hold up hy the cowboys at Denver depot much moro than any of the ceremonies al the present trip, It is only a question ofa short time until that portion of the Coast-Kootenay Railway from Curlew to Midway will be constructed. . This line would be now being built, but for the scarcity of laborers, When this road is built, most of the spur lines to the different mining camps will start from here, making this the railway centre of this district. With the advent of more railways into Midway the prices of real estate will advance, and the choice lots purchased and taken off the market. Show your good judgment by buying now.

' George lingers, of Winnipeg, spent a few days in Midway last week looking over the town aud gathering information relative to the locality, Mr. Rogers, who has had poor health for some lime, has decided to leave Winnipeg and locate somewhere in Southern Briiish Columbia and Is looking over lhe various towns and districts liefore dollnitely deciding on a location, lie leH on Saturday's train for Vernon md after visiting the Okanagan Country will return lo Midway. He is very much Impressed wiih this town and iu all probability will decide on locating here. J. A. Fraser, of Grand Prairie, neai Kamloops, was iu Midwav on Saturday. Mr. Fraser is acting in Ihe capacity of a delegate tor the British Columbia Settlers Association, whose headquarters aie at Hav.eluiere. He is visiiing the various agricultural districts of tlie Upper country and solicit ing membership, and it is hoped that with au itu leased nieiuheiship repre aentalive uf lbe ranchers throughout Ihe province that the association can Induce tlie provincial governiuenl to advance money to ranchers at a low rale of Interest and thus enable them lo carry on ranching on a much more profitable lasts than tbey uie doing at picscnt, owing to many uf them being lladly handicapped for lark of funds lo obtain the liest possihle resldls from the cultivation of their farms. A similar sysiem to the one wanted by the association is now In vogue in New Zealand and has greatly advanced the ranching industryof that colony. Mr. Fraser left yesterday lo canvas the country west of here, where lie will doubtless meet with great success in securing an increased membership, as there are but few engaged in ranching, especially on new ranches, wbo would not he greatly benefitted by being assisted in the manlier here referred lo.

A rich strike lias been made ou the lloimty, a claim Ibal until a very short time ago was considered but a mere speculative prospect, but now bids fair to become a shipper. The Ram Wer, which ix now iu a position to ship, wus until recently looked upon as an uncertainty, but its owners had implicit, faith in its value and continued development with the result, that it is now in a position to command a large llgiire. These tno only a few instances, there are bin • divds of just as good properties up the West Kork that only require a little development to demonstrate their real worth.
