Turton Killed While Birring Down Ore. Tlie double conical drum hoist for the Snowshoe mine has arrived and is being put in place over the new 400-foot shaft. It was manufactured by thetf)enver Engineering Works, of Denver Colorado, and is rated at 150 horse power, being one of the largest in the Boundary country. Skips will be used in connection with the hoist, each holding two tons of ore, and the machine will raise from 400 to 500 tons of ore per shift from the 400-foot level or deeper, the main shaft now being down nearly to the 400-foot level. With the hoist was sent a large electric motor, by which it will be driven, the power being furnished by the Cascade Water, Power & Light Co., now in operation, the lines of which run close to the property. The shipment arrived in two carloads, and the machinery when installed and in operation will give the Snowshoe mine ample capacity to increase the daily shipment of ore by at least 100 per cent, with ease. Tlie mine management reports that the total ore shipments for the last year was 20,- H00 tons, nearly all of which was sent to the Sunset and Mother Lode smelters, and most of which was sent out in the last, six months. The shipments of ore for 1903 promise to be very much larger than for 1902. Last Monday morning about nine o'clock a miner, named Fred Turton, met with almost instant death at the Knob Ilill mine, in I'hoenix camp. With a partner, Charles Smith, he was barring down some ore at the top of the No. 4 raise, from tunnel No. 1 to the glory hole, when Smith advised him not to work there any longer, as there was great danger of tha ore giving way under him, Turton, however, paid no attention, and a few minutes later the ore suddenly gave way, taking Turton with it, and almost burying him. He died a few minutes after the accident. Turton was a native of Yorkshire, England, and a member of Phoenix miners' union, having been employed in Rossland and at the Knob Hill mine since last April. He was well liked by his fellow workmen and employers} He has relatives in Springfield Illinois, and in the state of Washington . May Revise Canadian Tariff. Ottawa, Jan. 3.—Signs continue to multiply that at the approaching session of the Dominion parliament important developments may be expected in the direction of revision of the Canadian customs tariff. Tha probabilities are that tariff walls will be strengthened generally to provide more adequate protection to Canadian indrustries. Canadian iron and steel interests demand better protection in thisparticular. The manufacture of steel rails and structural steel may be cited. Steel rails can be purchased from either the United States or Germany for delivery in Canada cheaper than consumers in either of these two countries can buy them, and can now be imported into this country free of duty when weighing over 45 pounds per lineal yard. The total iron and steel consumption of the Dominion now amounts to upwards of 1,000,000 tons a year, of which hardly one third is the product of- Canadian works. The proportion produced in Canada is the output under protection. C. P.

R. is Unable to Handle Freight Promptly. A dispatch from Pluenix sayR that for some reason not explained t<> the satisfaction of the mine and smelter operators in tho Hoiindary country, the 0, P. R. appears to be totally unable to move the ore and coko tonnage called for in this section at this time. Since and before the first of the year nearly all the shipping mines have been complaining of a shortage of cars and when received and loaded they are not taken away with the promptness required to keep everything in tho best of running order for the mines and smelters. This year the snow for this part of the season has beeu unusually heavy, there being three to four feet on the level in many parts, and this, coupled with tho shortage of motive power on the part of the railway pany, has aggrivated trouble. Although the C. P. R. has so- cured some lomocotive power from the Kettlo Valley line, and is using it as far as possible, it does not seem to relieve the condition. Unless the railway people make special efforts at once to relieve the situation, some of the furnaces in the smelters will have to be blown out temporarily until the tonnage can be promptly handled. As itis, the mine managers are complaining loudly. Congdon will Govern Yukon. Ottawa, Jan. 3.—Mr. Frederick T. Congdon, K. C, Crown Prosecutor for the Yukon Territory, will succeed Hon. J, II. Ross, as Governor. News that this apointment will be made within a few days was officially confirmed to-day, and the next issue of the Gazette will probably contain notice of the passing of the order in Council. Mr. Congdon arrived here a few days ago from Dawson, aud will not return to the north until the early spring. In tha meantime affairs are being administered by Mounted Police and other officials at Dawson, who keep in touch with Ottawa by wire. Mr, Congdon was chairman of Governor Ross' executive committee at Dawson during the recent campaign, and as such achieved consideralile political prominence. As Crown Prosecutor, he is said to have done excellent work in the cases against Labelle and Founder, the murderers of Bouthillctte and others, during the past summer. Mr. Congdon is a young man, and was a prominent supporter of the Laurier Government before he went to the Yukon. Broke All Previous Records. Pekenix, Jan. 5.—Yesterday the Granby mines again broke their own record for one day's shipment of ore. Christmas Day these mines sent out 00 cars of ore. with eight cars from the Snowshoe, making over 2,(H!0 tons for the 24 hours, which was the record for one day from this camp up to chile. Yesterday tto Granby mines alone sent out 73 cars of orb, or about 2.2l.) tons. As far ns I known, this is the largest tonnage ever sent out from one group of mines from any camp in the province in a single day. coin* the Chris.

SATUKDAY, JANUARY, 10, iM Aresicfoabof tb'a districl. has received a letter from Premier Prior in which he states that it is the government's intention to build (woof the bridges for the West Fork wagon _6_i< this winter. Was Mr. Killeen making false promises when he said they would all be built? Premie.• Prior is in favor of liberal land grants to encourage the construction of railways, but he is not, in favor of building a railway to Fort Simpson to compete with Victoria and Vancouve.', especially Victoria, This means that Mr. Prior proposes to donate the laud, which belongs tlie people of the province as a whole (?) to build up a particular section (bis section) of the province. This shows the breadth of the premier's mind, and also that he will have the support of the coast grafters. To celebrate the accession of King Edward as Emperor of India, the Viceroy, Lord Curwm of Kedleston made his state entry into the capital of the Moguls on the morning of the 20th of Dec. ultimo. At: the head of the elephant procession rode Lord and Lady Curzon on the state "Grand Tusker," 12 feet high. The Duke of Connaught, who represented King Edward, with the Duchess of Connimglit followed on another "(irand Tusker." Then in order of precedence, came the Niinan of Hyderabad, the Maharajah of Tra- vancore and seventy other ruling chiefs. In the rear of the procession rode General Lord Kitchener wit1) a brilliant staff. They received a flattering reception. The Bureau of Provincial Information has issued a bulletin containing a report of a lecture delivered in London, England, by the Hon. J. 11. Turner, agent general for the province. Tbe report contains much valuable inforinatioii that should be of interest to those who are think- in;: of immigrating to Canada, and should be inst rumental in inducing a large nuinhor to leave the old country, where it is* altogether too crowded* and settle ill western Canada, which offers good inducements to young men, who are not afraid of work, or to the capitalist, who is looking for good investments. Too much attention is, perhaps, paid to the scenery of British Columbia. This is a mistake made by nearly all who write or lecture on British Columbia.

These lands nre supposed to belong to the people, but if an individual desires to purchase or preempt land in B. C„ he. of course, is requested to have it surveyed and to pay a good price for the land. In nearly all, if not all, the other provinces and territories there are free home- sti ads. Every effort is made to induce settlers to settle on the public lands, the government realizing that every industrious settler becomes both a consumer and producer, and thereby adds to the wealth of the country. In B. C. there is no organized system for the settlement of the vacant lands. Even in some of the practically settled districts, there has been no survey of the land. Settlers looking for land cannot get the desired information. There are no ii]) to date maps. We occasionally hear about H scheme to settle Malcolm island or Bulkley Valley or some other district, but, as stated above, tliere is no regular system. There is the same crudeness that characterizes the management of public affairs in British Columbia generally. The idea AMERICA'S BEST Kditornlly Fearless. Consistently Republican.

C. governments, that when a land grant was given to the C. & W. Railway, that no provision was made for the survey of thi! rail- i Way lands. If a settler applies fora pre-emptionclaim, if there Is any possibility of it being in the railway belt, his application is refused on the ground that it has been crown granted to the C. & W, Railway Co.

Witli the object of running to earth u desperate gang of freebooters operating on the International boundary, tlie Canadian Northwest Mounted Police and the Montana civil authorities have decided to ignore the 49th parallel till tlie job is done. The outfit is known as the Johnson and Jones gang, which makes its headquarters on the Montana side of the boundary, south of the Willow Bunch tmd Wood Mountain territory in Alberta. Johnston nnd Jones are outlaws, equally handy with gun nnd rope, and for a long time have terrorized the district and plied their calling of cattle thieves on a .small scale. With them are associated frequently other undesirable characters. Early last summer they held up the foreman of the Crane Lake ranch, and in Oc- tober last robbed a halfbreed near Willow Springs, well within Canadian territory. For Ihese doings the Mounted Police were keeping a sharp watch upon the gang and so rendered it very risky for them to operate on the Alberta side of the line, ity way of reprisal, doubtless, a shot was fired at Constable La Chappele, orderly to Inspector La Rocque, as he was walking toward the Mounted Police headquarters near Willow Bunch, The outlaws, thinking him dead, rode away and left him lying in the road, Ho was badly wounded. Reinforcements were at once sent to the Wood Mountain detatoh- nient, and as the infested district is on the boundary line, a fact of which the outlaws made shrewd use, an arrangement has been come to whereby tlie Canadian and United States authorities may operate on either wide of the boundary while in pursuit of the gang. m__-m__t____twm3t MINERAL ACT.
