Creek Liberal-Conservative ABSocia lion, which arranged for holding the convention, was one delegate for every 100 voters or fraction thereof in each of the following places, according to the numlter of voters registered on the roll on March 81st: Anaconda, Carson, Cascade, Columbia, Eholt and vicinity, Greenwood, Urand Porks, Gladstone, Midway, Phoenix, Bock Creek, Rossland, Trail and West Robson and vicinity. Nearly all these places were represented, so that numerically the attendance at the convention included within live or six of the possible total number under the arranged basis of representation. The Boundary part of the riding was represented by the following 15 delegates: Grand Forks, Messrs. C. Cumings, Jeff Davis, F. H. Knight, Ernest Miller and R. F, Petrie; Greenwood, Messrs,Clive Pringle, Jas. Kerr and Jtoht. Wood ; Columbia, Messrs. R. M. Nisbet and A. W. Ross ; .Kholt, Mr, M. Tebo ; Gladstone, Mr. A, Belgrove ; Midway, Mr. E. Jacobs j Phoenix, Mr. W. B. Cochrane, and Summit City, Mr. W. C. Haywood. Rossland had 17 delegates present and Trail five, so the tot il representation was if}. No proxies were allowed, so Phoenix which sent a proxy, whs restricted to the one delegate in attendance. The convention met in the Board of Trade room .ind Mr. A. W. Ross, of Columbia, whs chosen as chairmen. The committee on credentials did rot take long iu performing its duties and presenting its report, which was promptly adopted. Before proceeding to nomination Dr. Bowes read a letter he had received fio u II.ii, CH Muck' intosh, as follnws: April I), WOO. "Dr. Edward Bowes. President, Li ■■end Conservative Association, Hossland, B. C. : "Deai- Sir : From articles, in various newspapers, nnd inliniatloiispersonally conveyed by leading members of the Conservative Association, it seems altogether probable that my name will lie introduced at the forthcoming convention as a candidate, for the Rossland Riding of West Kootenay. In view of this 1 deem it only fair to state my position. "1 xiu nnt solicitous of nomination, ami only what my friends have convinced me is a duty to the Province of British Columbia could for one moment induce men to enter the political arena nt the approaching political campaign, nor shall I attempt, with Ilie design of advancing the interests of a political party or gaining the conti deuce thereof, to misled any member of the convention or any elector in the constituency. "While I believe the Conservative party has at all times endeavored tb keep inviolate anti-election promises; while from my experience I have learned tn love and respect that party, 1 -am free to confess that the mellowing influence of public life in various -msi ions tin* taught me, in times of emergency, to he willing to adopt broader than mere partisan views. I lielieve the present crisis in the affairs of the Province demands patriotic self- denial on the part of those who have con fid ne- in the future of British Co* liiinliin, mid while I do not presume to sit iu judgment upon the opinions of my fellow citizens who differ from ine, instinct prompts me to suggest a halt, tonsk the que* tion. "what does duty demand under existing circumstances?' "The uncertain state of puhlic opinion is practically demonstrated hy the various platforms erected by those who profess a desire to advance the inteiest.s of thc Province; and, not, unnaturally, electors might be lost in the miize of noslrums offered as a panacea for the ills now perineal ing the body politic. Under such circumstances, 1 prefer the counsel of the mnltituile.ratherthan to accept the dictum of those who breed political platforms with the fecundity of rabbits. 1 am convinced thatil is lietter to have something iu the windows liefore the shutters aiti taken down, thus enabling tho e whose hearts warm to the work of developing our great mineral and Industrial resources, to cast a reason ing. I therefore feel that I would be false lo the traditions of the Conservative party, and to the counsel of duty and conscience, were I to accept a Conservative nomination without certain reservations, enabling me should the opportunity arise to fulfil my promises to those who are manfully anxious to cooperate In an effort to redeem the Province from its present position. I regret that a general convention was not held, a lender nominated, and a Provincial platform adopted, instead of the opportunity being vouchsafed those who aspired to leadership, issuing independent appeals and, like prospectors, blanketing the country with scores of claims, irrespective of values. This being the case, it is incnuihenl upon every candidate to state bis views and abide by the will of the majority. "1 am quite aware thnt the present lamentable condition of affairs furnishes an opportunity for those ambitions of legislative honors, ils well as offering a temptation to men who earnestly and honestly believe in party government. 1 claim to la* inspired by motives quite ns conscientious ; nor can I forget political history has proved that, when dangertIneatened the commonwealth, a union of those who be. unanimous nominee of the cnim-tithm and of thanks lor the confidence thus shown in him. The tiommntioii was then fonunlly placed before lhe c. .invention and it was adopted by all entirely unanimous standing vote. Runs. ing cheers were then given for Mr. Mackintosh, a vote of thanks was accorded the chain, an and after singing "God Save the Queen" thei-omeni,.,.,, the proceedings of which had been characterized hy earnest enthusiasm and perfect harmony, not, one dis* irdant note having been heard, wns declared closed ni.u the delegates adjourned to drink health and success to Hon. 0, 11 Mackintosh. The Public Meeting. Not withstanding that only four hours'notice had heen given the hi* tendance at, the puhlic nieeling vns large, with nearly every senl filled iu the spacious hall of lhe Miners' Union, Dr. Bowes took the chair, When Mr, Mackintosh entered Ihe hall he was given a very hearty reception. At the request of thc chairman several of the Boundary delegates briefly addressed ihe meeting after the opening speech f.-om the chair. These were Messrs. A.W.Ross.Coluuibin; E.Miller, Grand Forks; ,las. Kerr, Greenwood; M. Tebo, Eholt ; and E. Jacobs, Midway. Then the chairman in appropriate lerms inlroduccd to thp meeting Mr. Mackintosh, whn had lu wait until the cheering ami applause subsided hefore he could commence his address. Hon. C. H. Mackintosh's Speech. After thankii g'he meeting for its splendid man If esl alien ot confidence and goodwill Mr. Mackintosh pointed out to his hearers that he was a candidate for the suffrages of one of the largest, if not the largest, of the constituencies of British Columbia. He referred lo some of his earlier experiences in the Kootenay and then reminded the meeting tbathe had hrnught about the investment nf an immense amount of capital in Ihe mines of Wr«i Kootenay. He asked what had caused the widespread dis* I rift now prostruting.every industry in lieved in constitution il uicthodsresult-!Bri,ish (,"lu"'bia nnd expressed lhe ed in vcrv meat good. On the other |"pi,,i"n 'hal il wus n°l the PenI,le who hat,,!, wliere 1- present,!lives 0f the I wm" r,,HP''nH',le ful people coalesce for the purpose of p- rs uial preferment, official aggrnn- di/,, ment and methods pointing to self- it,teres!.,nothings ve disaster followed, as such cohesion is not the result of an itss rt ion of principle, hut of a despicable selfishness, and blindness to the public welfare. Events which have recently transpired, establish the potent fact that puhlic spirited electors are anxious to meet on one common ground, and all I can do to promote such policj will lie done, "I helieve the electoral mandate will sanction the latter policy ; I believe that not only the interests of the Kootenay country, hut those appertaining to every district in British Columbia, depend upon a reasoning and reasonable policy. I hnld that every latitude should be permitted those who are senl to the Legislature, charged with the responsibility of restoring that prosperity, that progress, that constitutional rule, without which no self- governing community can hope to fulfil ite destiny. "If, sir.the gentlemen composing the convention, men whose hearts, I am sure, heat responsive to mine in so far as a desire to do what is right is concerned, are of the opinion that under such circumstances I can serve tbe Province, 1 am willing to accept the nomination, assuring them that I helieve the honest way in politics, the snine as the honest way in business, is better for the representative as well as for those who elect him. "That there may lie no misunderstanding 1 will hereafter briefly state my opinions upon legislation I believe necessary if British Columbia is to participate in the general prosperity at present noticeable in every other province of the Dominion. I remain, "Ever faithfully, "0. H. Mackintosh." Mr. Alex. Sharp, who had heen chosen by the Rossland Executive to perform this privileged duly then, in an earnest and impassioned speech, proposed Hon. 0. H. Mackintosh as the Conservative candidate for election at the forthcoming election as representative of the Rossland Riding of West Kootenay. The nomination wns briefly seconded hy Mr. Jeff Davis, of Grand Forks. The nominations were then declared closed, and Dr. Bowes and Mr. Pringle were deputed to wait upon Mr. Mackintosh and invite him to address the convention, A few minutes later the nominee entered the room and wns received with enthusiastic applause and cheers. As it had already been decided to hold a puhlic. meeting in ihe evening at which Mr. Mackintosh would speak at length his remarks hefore the convention were a comparatively brief expression of appreciation of the honor done him in making him the sole and it but those of their repj-esentatives in the Provincial Legislature «hn were blind to their own indiscrei ions and callous to what iheir fellow citizens thought of thnn. He directed attention to the present unprecedented position, to which constitutional histoiy furnishes no analagous Situation since the time of the great Duke of Wellington, in which Ihe Province has «n administration only one member nf which represents a constituency. In these circumstances he had come to the conclusion ihal the best men in the Province musl be asked to assist in the work of emancipation from such a condition of affairs. He snid lhat he was well aware lhat an effort is lieing made to array the working classes against those who join issue with the present administration. He had represented workingmen for ten years in the Dominion Parliament, nnd had always found them reasonable and reasoning, open tn Ihe teachings of common sense, and anxious to meet capital half way. He had yet to find that ihut same instinct does not inspire the working classes of British Columbia, He appealed to these, as he also appealed to all interested in the progress of Ihis country, to strengthen bis hands and the hands of those who believe in a brond Pro* vincial policy, thus bringing about the formation of au administration composed of the best, practical minds in lhe Province. He next enlarged upon several of lbe planks in his platform, which is published below, and then in fervid and patriotic terms alluded lo tbe part Canada is taking in fighting Ihe battles of lhe Empile, lie closed his address wilb ihe following references lo "the dear old flag," " Tis only a small piece of hunting, " 'Tis only au old tattered rag; " But thousands have died for its honor. "And spent Iheir best blood for the flag." "We Canadians love that flag just ns dearly, Justus loyally and Justus sincerely as our Inei.hien at. home, and those Englishmen, those Irishmen and those Scotchmen who came across the water believing they were still part and parcel of lhe mother country have left behind Ihem a generation willing to dn and dare for the honor of Her Majesty Ihe Queen, and we in the West will ever be prepared when tho storms and passion* of envy and hatred heal about (he motherland, to give our dearest anil best in the cause of human liberty, will always be prepared to hear our Gracious Queen through the dark clouds of advorsity into the glorious sunshine beyond." Por several minutes after Ml. Mackintosh took hi.-, seat, the applause and cheering found free expression. Afler quiet had been restored Mr. Alex. (Cominuod on pjige 2.) THE ADVANCE.

One result of the recent overflow of Boundary Creek at Greenwood wat to make tbe Oreenwood "Miner" facetious, ln last week's issue the following paragraph appeared : "On Saturday last lots on Copper street below Deadwood were for sale at so much per front, gallon."

We publish to-day a copy of the Lord Bishop's mandate convening a meeting to ratify thc basis of agreement, adopted at the last session of the Church of England Diocese of New Westminister, to divide that diocese and to form a new diocese to embrace East and West Kootenay and a part of Yale, Aside from its particular im port to members of the Church of England, this matter is of more general Interest since it is a tribute to the growing importance of these interior mining districts, which are each sue. cessive year becoming more nnd more populous. Mr. necior jMi-rm-i-eui.,... »»«™ last week announced bis intention to contest the election In lhe Rossland Riding of West Kootenay, ss an Independent. Tbe Nelson "Miner" re tentlyremarked tbat: "Tbe expe-'- enceof Canadian Legislatures has heen that 'Independent' candidates are men who seek the election in order that l hey may put themselves up for sale to the highett bidder. Several enquiries bave teached us in connection with a recent appointment as a Notary Puhlic of a resident 111 this district wbo is alleged to be an alien. In reply we have to stale that we are informed the Act under which notaries are appointed does not provide for other than British subject* being permitted toact ill such capacity. If the allegations are true there surely must have heen either mis-representation or concealment on the part of the applicant, It may interest supporters of Hon Joseph Martin's Oovernnient to know lhat this seeming irregularity, if nol remedied, will be used against tbem in ihe forthcoming contest hy at least one voter who has hitherto voted on the Lilieral side. The Rossland "Miner," in its report of the remarks made hy the Midway delegate at the puhlic meeting held at Rossland last Tuesday evening to ratify the nomination of Hon. 0. H. Mackintosh ss Conservative candidate for the Rossland Riding of West Kootenay, did uot correctly report that speaker in quoting him as stating the amount ex|iended on public works hj the Provincial Oovernrnent last year in the Bou udary country as heing "something over $1,000." What he said was, in correction of a previous speaker who had claimed that less than $1,1)00 had been spent on roads nnd trails, that certainly more than $1,000 bad heen spent in the dislrict on these works Of course the total spent last year in the district on puhlic works Was fnr in excess of this. It fair to the late Government knowledge this fact. is hut to lic it is reported from Victoria that Hon, Smith Curtis, Provincial Minister nf Mines, stated last Thursday thul unless his plans change he will seek a seal in Rossland Hiding. This accounts for his reputed promise to remove the Mining Recorder's office from Midway to Oreenwood. Even should he do so we decline to believe thut be can thus buy a majority of the votes of electors iu Oreenwood and vicinity, notwithstanding the negative as*crtionoftheGreemvood"Miner"that it will not lose him any votes and that "Curtis is all right." To thus try to purchase votes by doing nn injustice Ui the greater part of the Kettle River Mining Division is, in our opinion, evi deuce that Curtis is nil wrong. The Greenwood electors will doubtless he pleased if tbe Mining Recorder's office lie removed to their town, but we have a far higher opinion of the honesty and intelligence of most of them than tn believe thut their votes can thus be Wight by Mr. Curtis or any one else. The Phoenix Liberal Association last month passed the following resolution : "Whereas Phoenix Is situated near the divide between ihe Kettle River and Grand Forks Mining Divisions ; and whereas the most important mines in both divisions are at or near Phoenix ; and whereas the record offices of both divisions are many miles away and very inconveniently situated, this meeting respectfully requests His Honor the Lieiitenant-Oovernor-in-Council to lie pleased to appoint a Deputy Mining Recorder for both divisions, lo be resident in Phoenix." This resolution recommends a course far more just and reasonable than the projected removal of the office of tbe Mining Recorder for lbe Kettle River Mining Division from Midway to Oreenwood. Midway being about 15 miles distant from Phoenix on the one side and Grand Forks a similar distance on the other—the record offices for the respective divisions being situate in these towns— the course recommended in the foregoing resolution has the merit of containing an eminently sensible proposal. If it be a good argument in favor of opening it record office at Greenwood that in that town it would bo near the mines, it is surely a better one thut at Phoenix it would be still nearer most of the mines now being developed. In fact there is no legitimate reason that can lie assigned in favor of a record office at Oreenwood but what can be applied with- even greater force to Phoenix. If tbe Provincial Minister of Mines have in view only the convenience of the larger number of mineis and prospectors he 10C UUiisonawu «■■■»■—. (Continued from page 1.) Sharp moved and Mr. D, B.

The meeting heartily responded, and then after three cheers and a tiger had been given for the candidate, "God save the Queen" was sung and tbe large audience dispersed, Candidate'* Platform To the Electors, Rossland Riding,West Kootenay. Electors: 1 am a candidate for the Provincial Legislature at the approaching elections, and I favor the following policy: 1, An administration composed of those whose practical experience will enable them to deal prompt ly and efficiently with all details connected with the departments over which tbey preside. 2. Sanctioning no large expenditures other than really necessary, until the ability of Ihe Province to hear such is cl»arly ascertained, This should not apply to bridges, trails and roads in newly discovered mining camps. 3- Preparation of full, authentic und substantial financial statements of the position of the Province, together wiih laud and forest areas and tbeir probable values, 4, Convinced of the wisdom of assisting railroad construction as proved hy tbe expel ience of other provinces, I would favor a system of bonuses, surrounded by reasonable checks and safeguards. Without feeders to main Hues, the settlement in the interior must naturally he retarded, the Coast cities heingdeprived of many supply advantages accruing from colonization, immigration and internal improvements. At the present, juncture no thinking man would commit hlmielf to a snap derision in connection wilh the subject of Government ownership of railways. It is plausible, but I would be unwilling to hind the Province to such a gigantic proposition involving so many complex issues, unti I convinced that the resources of British Columbia justify such an experiment, 5. The erect ion and maintenance of a Technical School of Mines. 0. Amendments to the mining law, perfecting the existing system of mine inspection, thus making it. effective and of greater puhlic advantage. Furthermore, legislatinn hearing upon placer claims, claim jumping and assessment wnrk, relieving as much as possihle the prospector from pn>- tructed litigationand consequent legal complications, 7. Preparation of carefully compiled maps, showing trail, water and railway routes traversing mining districts, together with such official information as would assist those en rising gem-!!..■■,,., the Province and loyalty to the British Empire, and to commemorate the deeds of those who have surrendered their lives in defence of that Empire, as Well as those who are now fighting its battles. Wilh this intent, I would advocate such legislation as would make statutory provision for tbe floating of the British flag during the hours of tuition, overall schools throughout tbo Province, I remain your obedient servant, C.

Mackintosh aaa candidate for election as representative in the Pro vimial Legislature of Ihe Rossland Riding ef West Kootenay, wbich includes the Boundary country, is a [Witter for -.inrere congeal ulal inn. Al* liotlgh there are several r ther pronii* ient iiieiiil-ers nf ihe Conservative party in lhe Hiding who deserve consideration, it was fell thul none would he so generally acceptable as Mr. Macintosh, consequently it was agreed that his name alone should he submitted M the convention wbich met at Rossland on Kit h inst. In nominate a Conservative candidate. Mr. Mackintosh has had many years experience in public affairs—municipal, parliamentary and as Lieut enant-Governor of the North*West Territories, He is in close touch with capitalists in Kuglaml, having been instrumental in bringing aliout the Investment nf a lurge amoui of Brit sh capital in mines in the Pi x • vince. And too, he is likely lo receive generous support from the miners, who recognize that be recently played nn in,|,oiiiint part in settling Inhor difficulties at Rossland. Further be is a clear, forcible speaker and has a presence and manner that attract favorable notice, whether on the public pirn iniin or in private conversation. Space restrict ions prevent our givinga full report of his speech at the public nieeling in Rnssiand last week, hut we publish his plulfnini which we coin* iiiena lo the careful attention of our readers, who will later have an opportunity of hearing him enlarge upon it. Meanwhile we bespeak for him the support and influence of Ihe voters in tbe Boundary country, sincerely believing that he merits them and that. DO better representative can be found. The Kamloops "Inland Sentinel'' last week remarked in connection witb the "good roads" question, "the real cause of dissatisfaction in the matter of tbe public works policy of the Pro vince in the past has heen the entire lack of efficient methods. There has been, generally speaking, plenty of money spent, hut it has not heen wisely expended under efficient supervision," The soundness of this contention is exemplified in tbe poor judgment displayed in expending the money available lust year for making a road up the West Fork of Kettle River and in trying to construct a hridge over the West Fork, There seems to lie n, doubt that a very good wagon road was made for nine or ten miles, hut more than twice that distance was left with only a trail. What is wanted in these new mining districts is not so much a short well-finished wagon road to nowhere us a passable bush road to one or more of the mining ramps. The money tbat was expended in making the short road to the West Fork would in tbe hands of a man experienced in bush-road work, unencum- liered by the stereotyped methods of a civil engineer and at liberty to employ thoroughly good men at a living wage, huve gone fnr towards giving Beaver ton road connection with the Midway* (.'mop McKinney stage mad. And, too, the money that has been wasted in trying (and failing,) to put in tbe hridge, would easily, under the direction of a competent man accustomed to such work, have built a bridge similar to the one over the Kettle River at Midway. As it is a lot of money has lieen spent, a season has heen lost, and the West Fork mining camps are still without roud and hridge, both of which aro urgently needed to facilitate the development of the promising, mineral resources of that section of the Kettle River Mining Division. Provincial Legislature Dissolved. Un Tuesday, 10th inst., His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor dissolved the Provincial Legislature. The following dates were fixed: May 20th for Humiliations; June Oth, for the general election; June 30th. writs to he returnable, and July 5th for the meeting of tbe Legislature, 8.

Development of farming, dairying, stock raising and fruit growing resources, by increased encouragement to agricultural socities, when hy such assistance it may he demonstrated thai reasonable benefits will accrue to tbe Province. 11. Increasing tho usefulness of a Bureau of Lalair and Mining Statistics by the appointment of a competent official, whose services could lie utilised in harmonizing conflicting interests and arbitrating upon i»*u3s threat, eninglo disturb the peace and progress of any community. 12. Ministers of the Crown and their officials, being stewards acting for the public, I would insist upon due expedition in the issue of Crown patents, and prompt departmental settlement of disputed claims; the tarn paid by unincorporated settlements In he devoted, as far as possihle tow'ards assisting the laxpaying districts. 18. Careful consideration of the rearrangement, of various constituencies, removing if possible tlie question from the political arena, hy such legislation as, under tbe circumstances, may he advisable, due care being taken to secure to outlying districts, as well as rapidly increasing towns, just representation. 14. To deal with various labor questions on rational lines, favoring no hasty legislatinn, but consulting all interests likely to he affected, Thu result of recent mediation, particularly in Rossland, is an object lesson, conclusively proving that all parties tre willing lo settle vexed que* linns upon a broad and therefore practical basis. 16. In the present campaign I sea no necessity for alliance with, nor hostility towards, Federal authority; nor am I willing lo commit, myself or those wbo support me to in unreserved pledge in favor of measmes propounded hy the present leader of ihe Government or others who have announced themselves as leaders.

Graves is reported In the Forks "Gazette" to bave said New Plant for the Mother Lode. On March Oth tbe British Columbia Copper Co. signed at its head oflice New York, a contract to purchase from the Jas, Cooper Manufacturing Co.) Ltd., of Montreal, Que., the largest compressor, boiler and drilling plant yet ordered for the Boundary country. The further statement has been made that there is none larger now in oper atlon in Canad i, but whether this be true or not there is no doubt that the directors of the British Columbia Cop. per Co. have, in ordering this additional plant after nearly four years' systematic prospecting of their Mother Lode property, given practical proof of their conviction that the company owns a mine that is full of promise for permanent and profitable operation, lt is nearly two years since the com pany purchased from the Jas. Cooper Manufacturing Co. the following plant and equipment; Two 00-horse power boilers, with feed water heater, pumps, etc.,one It)drill Ingersoll Sergeant air compressor, with complement of machine drills, hose, etc., station and sinking pumps, and pump for water supply, an Edison electric light plant, a Lidgerwood hoisting engine, 90-incb drum, a half mile or more of pipes, and all requisite cars, buckets, rails, machine and hand tools, etc, Uti-r two auxiliary hoists were obtained from the Jenckes Machine Co., and quite recently a cage, supplied by the Wm, Hamilton Manufacturing Co., was re calved wit h thef ore going plant the mine hus been opened up liy a two-compartment vertical shaft sunk to a depth of ifio feet and by ahout. 2,000 feet of nn derground work in drifts, cross-cuts, stations, winzes and upraise. Adding the cross-cutting, etc., done prior to the piuchaseof the power plant, the underground wnrk done totals about 2,710 feet. With this much work to its credit and with results in ore bodies exposed that appear to amply warrant the preparation for operations on a much larger scale, the following Ingersoll- Sergeant compress, ,r plant,etc.has heen ordered : A cross compound Corliss condensing air compressor, wilh compounded air end and receiver inter- rniiler.lhe high and low pressure steam cylinders to he 22-inch and 40-inch diameter respectively, the air cylinders to be of the piston inlet type, high and low pressure, 19} inch and 32} inch respectively and 48 inch stroke, the machine to have a capacity of 80 to 40 drills,and to weigh 108,000 lbs; two 06x10 horizontal return tubular boilers, each 100-howe power for 125 lbs, working pressure, and to have horizontal smoke connection and nne stack; a 64x12 air receiver; a feed water heater of sufficient capacity for 830 horse power boilers ; ten E 21 drills ; two double-screw and ten single-screw columns with arm and clamp; two iron safely platform cages with safety device and shield roof; Iwo six-foot sheave wheels ; 1,600 feet of li inch wire rope, and six steel ore cars with McCaskell wheels and axles, Delivery of this plant is contracted to he made within three months. It may he here remarked that the compressor is lo be fitted with every device known to mechanical engineering for the economical production of power. A new hoist is also to lie obtained of a capacity sufficient to work the mine down to a depth of 1,600 feet. This has not yet heen ordered, hut will he shortly. Meanwhile a site for it north of the shaft is being blasted out so that there need be nn delay in putting it in position after it shall have lieen received. The site chosen for the new compressor plant is on Mother Lode Creek about 160 feet helow the level of that on which the machinery now in use stands. Economic considerations have influenced the choice of this lower site, the adoption of which will render it unnecessary to so enlarge the main shaft dnwn to the 200-foot level as to provide roomfornlhirdcompartment in which to place compressed air and steam pipes. As both existing compartments will ere long he required for the two cages that are to lie installed it has heen decided to run a tunnel from tho present 200 foot level of the mine out to the oreek, a distance of about SOO feet. Across-cut hnd already been driven 100 feet towards the creek, and this is now being extended so as to serve this purpose. MINKIIAI. LOCUTIONS. APIII1, 10. Josephine, Klinlieily camp, 8. Bond.
