Vote for Mackintosh and Good Government- Mr. Curtis at Greenwood—He Makes Statements Which He Cannot Prove—Time and Places for Polling. Vote for Mackintosh. The Rossland riding at tlie present time, and for the next year or two, will need nn active representative in the Legislature who should he ahle to secure what it wants from the Government. Roads and bridges are needed and many other favors will have to lie secure,! in a growing section like this. These are of vital Importance to the region, The trend of political affairs and all the signs, political and otherwise, make it certain that Hon. Joseph Martin will not have nearly a majority in thc House of those who will be elected on the 9: h of J une, lf he get half a dozen supporters he will he fortunate, indeed. Then, too. it isdoiihtful if Mr. Martin himself will lie returned in Vancouver, owing to the fact that there are four sets of candidates in the Held io that ciiy, and there is a general political mix up there, so lhat ii makes lhe outcome any man's vii-tury. Therefore, when the political dice are shaken, Mr. Martin may not come out a winner in thc game. Under the circumstances, to elect the Hon. Smith Curtis in this riding would he an egregious blunder ou the part of the electors. This would be so becuuie he would be simply a unit in a small minority, and a very little nne at that. Those who are opposed to Martinism, we are convinced, are cer tain to have a large majority, nnd a representative of Martinism, and Martinism in the aggregate, would have no weight, and could obtain but scant favors from a Government so made up. Why Mr. Curtis, under such condi lions, would be worse than no representative at all I In the language of the streets he would "uot be in it," and strive as he might to serve his const ituents.he would be unable to dn anything fur them. The effect, of having him there would, therefore, he to retard the riding-and to keep its material interests in a languishing con dition for a considerable period. None of lhe remote hut rich mining districts in the liding could be opened for want of roads, and it. would be difficult lo induce the Government I o keep in repair those trails and highways which are already consi ructed. It, thueforc, seems palpable that to elect Mr. Curtis would be to throw away un opportunity for helping the section in which we live. On the other hand, every elector should strive to return Hon. 0, H. Mackintosh, as he will hem touch with and huve lhe full confidence of those who will be in the majority in the next Government. He will aid in giving ihe Province a stable and reliable Government, and one which will inspire ihe confidence of foreign capital. As hi- will have the confidence in the majority in the Legislature, thc Rossland Riding could get anything reasonable In the way of trails, roads, hridges, etc,, that it might ask for, and this would result the quicker in the development of the new mining fields within the riding, which are now unproductive because they are Inaccessible for want of avenues over which to reach them. Therefore, I he electoi s of the riding, if they eleci Mr. Mackintosh, would be doing the very hest possible thing for the good of the section in which they reside.—Hossland "Miner." *-•-« Mr. Curtis at Oreenwood. Hon, Smith Curtis held a meeting of electors at Greenwood last Wednesday night, The afternoon and evening had heen given up by lhe citizens to an impromptu and thoroughly spontaneous celebration of the arrival of Lord Robeilsand his troops at Johannesburg sn that a lively meeting was looked for after the previous rejoicing, This expectation was fully realized, manifestations of party spirit interrupting the meeting. These might have in a large measure lieen avoided had the chairman been tactful and a litlle indulgent, but he lacked these characteristics und so unintentionally piecipitated confusion. However Ihe meeting passed off without, the serious trouble that at one time seemed imminent, Mr.Curtisspokelli'st.htil.hissp'-echwas one long tirade against that portion of Ihedistricl press that Is notfn vocable to his candidature and against Mr. Mackintosh, and that gentleman's puhlic platform supporteis, notwithstanding that the speaker claimed lo lie tilled with a desire to avoid personalities. He was followed liy Mr. C, Foley, of Rossland, who had just returned from attending a meeting of the Western Federation of Miners u! Denver, Mr, Foley was a decided disappointment. He talked for a long time, Indulged in a lol of rambling generalities,admitted that he was not posted on thi' chief issues of the campaign, told tedious and stale annecdotes that sorely tried the patience of a considerable propor tion of those present, grossly misrepie- sented Mr. Jas, Kerr, of Greenwood, and following the example set hy Mr, Curtis, indulged in personal abuse, Mayor Goodeve, of Rossland, being his chief victim. Mr, Duncan Ross was the next speaker. He opened by asking Mr. Curtis whether he included the tii een- wood '-Times" among the newspapers he had alleged he had been asked to buy and elicited an assurance from that, gentleman that he did not. Mr. Ross next pointed out that the only Labor Union man who had spoken in the district in favoi of Martinism had to go lo Denver, Colorado, for his instructions whilst such loyal Briiish subjects as Messrs. Ralph Smith, Thus. Foster and other friends and supporters of labor did not receive direction fiom a foreign source. Then he called attention to the insincerity of theproteslulions of Mi'.Smilh Cm tis that he avoided personalities and yet his speech that evening liJid lieen little else than a series of pel sonal attacks ou Mr. Mackintosh. Mr. Curtis, too, was doubtless responsible for the scurrilous pamphlet, thai had been distributed (hut evening attributing to Mr. Mackintosh the onus of alleged non-payment of moneys due on account of lhe Regina Exhibition, whilst he had a telegram from the mayor of Calgary stating thai the various Committees and nut*Governor Mackintosh were responsible for the d-flcit. and that all liabilities were afterwards discharged liy the Government. He had as well Ihe authority of Hon. Sidney Fisher, Dominion Minister of Agriculture for it that all Ihe accounts were audited and approved before being paid liy (lieGovernment. Hon. Joseph Martin's changeahleness was next dwelt upon. He lmd changed his policy in regard lo borrowing money for public woiks; as lo Government ownership of railways ; as to redistribution and in respect of lhe Eight hour law. Mr. Martin would not remain steadfast, to any political purpose whatever hut would at any time change his policy to suit his own ends. Mr. Rots declared lhat he would himself vote for Mr. Mackintosh and gave his reasons for doing su, He closed by reading a telegram from lhe president of the Gatineati Railway declaring that Mr. Mackintosh had at nu lime been responsible for payment of moneys ilue by that railway, so had not, been guilty of default in connection therewith. Mr. Curtis replied at length to much of the criticism lhat had been directed against himself, and made a strong appeal to the voters for their support, At thc close of Mr. Curtis' speech at midnight. Mr. Ross announced lhat a cable had just been received' by the "Times" announcing that Pretoria had surrendered, and tlie meeting broke np after giving rousing cheers and singing "God Save the Queen," THE MINERAL WORLD.

Time and Places for Polling. The attention of voters is particularly directed to the fact that the polls will be opt n in incorporated cities at 9 a.m. on Saturday next, Oth inst., and will close lit 7.110 p.m, The incorporated cities in the Rossland Riding of West Kootenay are Rossland, Grand Forks, Columbia and Greenwood. The other poHing places in the riding will he at Trail, Gladstone, Cascade, Eholt, Phoenix and Midway, and at these the polls will open at 8 a.m. and close at 6 p.m. A voter whose name is on the revised Voters' List may vote at any polling place in the riding, no matter what his address appearing on the roll, ► ♦« "Dead to the World" with Joe Martin in the lending role, will bo produced in Victoria on the evening of JuneO, is the way the Nelson "Economist" puts il. Thc third annual session of the United States International .Mining Congress will be opened al Milwaukee, Wisron* sin, on Tuesday morning, .lime lllth. The St. Petersburg "Messenger of Finance" states that Knglisli capitalists have recently invested$0,000,000 in the Russian petroleum-producing territory between the Caspian and Black Seas. The latest thing in the way of a strike is one by the colliery surgeons of one of the English coal Holds. The reason of it is the Inequitable division of the medical fees subscribed by the miners, which have been equally apportioned among the surgeons quite irrespective of tlie nunilier of cjtses each had attended. Au official report from a foreign consulate at St. Petersburg slates that the value of Russian gold mines has been greatly exaggerated. Experienci d mining engineers have visile I Siberia in thc interests ot Knglisli and American capitalists during the past three years, but though they made extensive examinations of the conditions not a single company, so far as is known, has heen organized as a result of their reports. There is very little foreign capital invested in Siberia. At the International Mining Congress, which is to meet in Puis, June 18-2.1, 1900, discu-sions will take place upon subjects under Clio following headings: Mining; Explosives in Mines; Use of Electricity In Mines ; Working Conditions at Great Depth; Reduction of Hand Labor in Mining and Metallurgy ; the Progress of Iron and Steel Metallurgy since 1899; Application of Electricity to Metallurgy—(a) Chemical Application, (h) Mechanical Application ; Progress in the Metallurgy of Gold; Recent Improvements in the Mechanical Preparation of Ores. "Mines and Minerals" gives the following summary of the coal output and employes for the various counties of the State of Washington for tlie year 1899: Tons Employees King County, 807.030 1,402, Kittitas County, IH5.S18 911 Pierce County, -172,1-15 882 Whatcom County 8,060 32 Skagit County, 0,558 25 2,018,007 3,315 An increased output is anticipated for the current year. A mining exchange, In an article urging that it is as necessary for modern miners to utilize modern mining machinery as any modern process of metallurgy, remarks that there are no more economical hoiler plants anywhere than arc at some of the up to- date American anthracite conl mines, while the hoisting engines, pumps and ore dressing machines of the Lake Superior iron and copper mines, nt ihe mines of Butte, of Colorado and of California are admired by tho entire milling and mechanical worlds. The United States Commercial Agent stationed at Stiinhrldge, Quebec, has reported that a mineral discovery which may lead to important results has been made in the Laurentian Mountains, where a seam of coal has been found on the land of the Shawul* gan Water and Power Company. The extent of the coal, the stratum bearing which is about fifty feet below thc surface, has not yet been proved, lt Is stated that geologists have always maintained that no minerals existed in the Laurentian Mountains, and thnt those granite hills contained nothing more valuable than the iron-like stone constituting their formation. About 450 men are employed at the Wabana iron ore mines, wbich aro situate on the north shore of Great Bell Island, an Island ahout eight miles long hy two miles wide, lying in Conception Bay, on the east coast of Newfoundland, and distant thirty-five miles by water from the town of St. John. These men are stated to receive as wages 10 cents per hour, thc usual working shift being 12& hours. Tbe output of the three mines averages about 2,000 tons per (lay. The cost of mining and delivering the ore to tlie ship is less than 50 cents per ton, and the ocean freight to the furnaces of the Nova Scotia Steel Company is 50 cents. 0.

And yet Mr. Curtis Immediately afterwards called ntrentlnn tn the respect then and there paid tn the re|iresent:ilives nf the law. No wonder his si If lauded sincerity is freely disbelieved in. last Wednesday night falsely atlrlbu- ted to one of tbe oldest and most, respected residents nf this district a statement that the: latter never made and also imputed to him huso motives, Yet when the gentleman assailed essayed lo mount the platform to challenge the verticil)* of his detractor the chairman shuttled out, as he slond above him in a threatening attitude, "you shan't get.on Ihis platform, I'll knock you off if you do," The chairman and the agitator sitting near him evidently hnd one idea In common, viz,, "brute force," Mr. Smith Curtis Inst Wednesday night, stated as an evidence nf the linlil ical purity of himself and nther Martin Oovernnient mitkeshlite thai hnd their object been to gain votes they could have named Greenwood, as the terminus of their projected Coast railway instead of Midway, But he was cunning enough to point out how easy il would be to obtain running powers nver the 0. k W. railway frnm Midway lo Greenwood Piuxv Mr, Curtis. Mr. Smith Citrus slated last Wednesday night (hat he hnd heen licked tn buy Ihe newspipers that are opposing him In Ihis riding and had refused tndosn. He was challenged liy Ihe editor of the Oreenwood "Times" nnd admitted that he did not include ihnt pnprr. If he Intended to convey tae impression Mint The Advance in any way at all npproaehnd him or any nne connected with him he did so knowing it In he absolutely uni rue. Mr. Curtis has announced that he experts to be in a minority at the Midway pulling place, The electors who will vole here will dn y>ell to show Ium in a most emphatic manner that ilu* Injustice done tliiscoinmnuiiy in removing the Government office and in depriving the town and vicinity of the police protection it hid previously had for live or six years; tbe boorish- ni'ss of Premier Mai I in in driving through the lown without showing the commonest courtesy to even one of ils lending residents, and the hypne- ri-y of Mr. Cutis, « ho liefore the faces of residents wns complimentary, hul. behind their hacks publicly indulged In sneers at the town—that these 111inifs, coupled with Hie more import* nut fact that a continuance of Martinism would be most disastrous to tbe Provinceatlarge and particularly, lo llvse mining districts, have moved litem io do their utmost to give Hon. C. fl. Mackintosh i comparatively large majority here. When Mr. Smith Curtis addressed nl public meeting at Midway he spoke of it as "a town" and said some very complimentary things about it. Thai was e ii ly in the campaign when he was confident his fulsome flattery wnuld win votes, iihlco then he has discovered thai lhe voters of this town and vicinity have no use for neithn Premier Martin nor his biiiiioiIi- Inngicd Minister of Mines, ennse- (| lently at lust Wednesday night's public nieeling at Greenwood he snneringly referred In Midway ns a Itlle village" and again as a "little place 'ilh thirty or forty voles." And yd. Me. Cm lis claims to be thoroughly sincere, instead of which he is a designing hypia rile. A roast press despatch states that "in Ills address to the electors Mr. James Dunsuiiiir snys he pays the same wages to Chinese as lo white miners and that he will discharge Chinamen as soon as he can get while men to take their places." As the Wellington Colliery Company is advertising in the district fur GOO miners and helpers for thu Wellington Extension and Cnmox mines to supercede all the Chinese ln these mines, there is at least a semblance of sincerity in Mr. Diinsinuir's profesfed intentions, lt remains tn he seel), however, whether or not this move is simply a temporary expedient for election purposes or the permanent abandonment of a policy detrimental to the hist interests of white labor. The freak editor ofa little newspaper called lbe Oreeownnd "Miner" evidently had not recovered from the effects of the Greenwood celebration when he made an abortive attempt to write the editorials for that disgrace to the press, lie seems In have had only a few words in his mind at tbat time, viz., while-shirted hobos, scab and black eyes. These he sea tiered pro iniscuously throughout that column of confused ideas. We are sorry for th it individual. At times he appears quite rational, and during these temporory lapses inin sanity has been known io write articles lhat people have read through without liecoming sick, but again the poor fellow imagines he is editing a newspaper, and it is when in ihis deluded slate that he is most deserving of pity. If he thinks by his noisy denunciations that he will he able to raise the puhlic sentiment against us he will find, lu his intense disgust, that his efforts will prove as futile as for a hilly goat to charge the rising sun. Tiik Advance is here tn stay, and will be found supplying the public with clean literature when the Greenwood "Miner" has become forgotten by ils few unfortunate readers. His reference to the small circulation nf The Advance is a base falsehood, and wns known to he such when il was made, We hope iu future lhat this dispenser of fabrications will show a iitile seme and at least tell the truth. Among other I rtitiiped-np charges ninde by Mt. Curtis against Hon. C, II. Mackintosh was one of having given a "black-rye" lo thn Sunsj't iri the Similkameen, which Mr. Curtis, on the sul hoi ity of his notoriously unreliable mining partner, says is "one nf the greatest cupper properties in British Columbia." What, aliout the "black- eye" Air, Curtis attempted to give the Boundary country wheii he publicly stated asa leason why a refinery must he established on the coast instead of in this district that "to run a refinery would need fit) ions of matte per day which means 1,000 tons of nre perdny." Mr. Curtis thus Indicclly asserted that by the time lhe Coast-Midway railway will be ready to lake the pro- duet of our mines to Iho const—say two years hence if it be binlt-i his ,)|s. trict will tint lie producing 1000 toiisof ore per day, And yel he savs tbat he hns closely siudied this question. Is thij< another 'vldunce or his sincerity? is it. another proof ,,f ins ft*. A Grand Forks press correspondent I bus reported a recent Curtis meeting held at Grand Forks : Any lingering uncertainly which may have heen exhibited as to the overwhelming preponderance of public opinion in tbis city rospocling Ihe result of the vote of Grand Forks was rudely dispelled by the attitude of the audience at the Curtis meeting. It was practically a strong demonstration by the large audience of their sympathy with Mr. Mackintosh. While Ihe audience listened patiently to Ihe weary dis. course of Mr. Curtis Ihey listened silently, hut every point scored against him wns cheered in the echo. On Ihe other band Mr. Curtis' points fell veiy flat. Mayor Goodeve, of Rossland, followed, His reply was brilliant, logical nnd convincing. As he demol- ;,hed the flimsy arguments of Mr, Curtis and exposed the insidious method* of Martinism the entire audience h.irst into cheers. Mr, Curtis seemed tn appreciate his position very keenly. He paraded Ihe Mongolian spectre, delivered a pan egyric nn the Hon. Joseph Martin, and declared for Slate-owned railways. The Minister of Mines did not disclose the method hy which the Martin Gov- eminent proposes lo raise Ihe $20,000, 000 required tn carry out ils pet pro ject. Mr, Curtis absuredly declared that Mr. Martin would make theC, P. It. a State railway within Hve years. But a few momenta before he had ad* mittedthattheprojected railway would connect with the C. P. If., and would in a measure he dependent upon that railway fnr the providing of low freight rates nn transcontinental business, Mr. Curtis, in fart, became hopelessly involved on the railway question when cross-examined hy an individual in the audience He admitted that it wnuld lake several yenrs to make Ihe railway survey though the Hope Mountains, and the Similkameen district. Thus the relief promised by the Martin Government is not tobe thought of. The meeting closed with cheers for Mr. Mackintosh, Promises and Performances. Of what uso are n politician's theories if his record and his actions are opposed to those theories? Premier Martin is endeavoring to ride into power on a policy of government ownership of railways, What is ther borrowed $1,500,000 to do this woik. Shortly afterwards, to the disgust of those who believed in government ownership, nnd who also believed thai the Government Would stand by its announced policy, sold the road to lhe Northern Pacific, and gave a bonus of tl7M it mile for 2.VI miles tn get rid of It. In 180(1 Martin was a candidate for the representation of Winnipeg in the Dominion Hnuse. The members of the Trades and Lahor Council, whn knew Joe Martin and who always keep in close touch with public men und public affairs, prepared a series of questions for Martin to answer, lho first two following: 1. Are you in favor of constructing and operating the Hudson's Bay Railway ns a government rond ? 2, Are ynu In favorof I lie governiuenl owning and operating the telegraph and telephone systems uf Canada ? Martin's answers are given below i Willi White, Esq,, 80 Hallett street, city: DEAR Sin,—Yours of the 25th nit, at hand, I am very willing to attend any public meeting tlmt mny be called with a view of discussing the question that you submit to me, In thn meantime I will give you my views on the said questions: 1, 1 am not in favor of tlie Government constructing and operating railways. I think this can be done much hetter liy private individuals and that any Oovernnient aid should be given as a bonus or subsidy. 2. For the same reason I am not in favor of the Government owning and operating telegraph aud telephone systems. This occurred less than four years ago. Martin's answers are definite enough. Has he changed his mind since then, or is he simply trying to secure power through a policy which he thinks popular hut which lie does not believe in ? Is it not safer to follow the advice of sensible men like Ralph Smith when he says, "1 do not < are a snap ahout a man's theories, if I knnw that yesterday the man did something contrary to those theories. The man then must perform the action above before I will have any confidence in him." r*. Opposed to Martinism. From tlie Rossland "Miner" it is 1'limed that last Wednesday evening the people of Rossland were to have the privilege of hearing tlie issues now before the electors discussed liy iMr. E. V. Bodwell, of Victoria, who at the solicitation of influential citizens there consented tn address a puhlic meeting in lhe Miners' Union hall. Perhaps no man in British Columbia has the same strong anil comprehensive grasp of Provincial affairs which Mr. Bodwell possesses. His intimate acquaintance with almost every inlerest in British Columbia- in I he interior ne well as on the coast-covers a period of many years, and Iiis character for frankness and integrity in his puhlic utterances hns never been, nor could it he, brought into question. He has nothing to gain in the political warfare In I lie Province liy the defeat of this Government except that which every good citizen hopes to gain in seeing an honest and stable administration in office. Ill common with every one interested in the passage and enforcement of good legislation, Mr. Bodwell is anxious for a change of Government nt Victoria, A close observer of provincial events, be has heen ahle to appreciate very clearly the disastrous results which have followed tlie public actions nf Hon. Joseph Martin ill British Coliiniliia, and he recognizes that if this gentleman be returned to power his influence on public affairs wiU'heofa most calamitous nature. Mr. Bodwell is a Liberal in his political leanings, lint, like all good citizens, he has decided at a crisis like the present to cast aside party affiliations and work for the good of the Province, ►•-. A Sabbath Circular. There is no lietter method of testing the honesty and sincerity of public men thnn that furnished liy their own acl ions when driven into a corner, Tliis is signilic-an'tly illustrated hy a circular which has lieen sent hy mail tn hundreds of electors throughout the Rossland Riding nnd signed by J. A. Yerex, chairman of tlie Provincial Government campaign. It ia dated Vancouver, May 27th, 1000, the postal date on the envelopes huing 23rd and 21th of May. It will be observed that the 27th of May was a Sunday, and this date was no doubt adopted to sireng'hcn the nefarious object the writer had in view, which was to show that it wns only published after iiomin- tioo day, and it is on a par with tlie rest uf the Martinite campaign. One paragraph says: "I desire io know all your requirements, nnd imsnm you they shall be met as soon as possible." This of course is nn intimation that money could be obtained if necessary, as well ns n furl her intimation thnt the programme of promises is not yet exhausted, The flushing touch Is na fnllows: "We havo tha opposition on the run, and judical inns at present are lllllslllllg iuiicii vo »""' •*■■■■■ — -- flrst place, lirlng at tlm coast aa he does, lie must know that Martinism is already spewed out of the mouth of all honest .electors In British Columbia, mid Mr. Smith Curtis, the Martinite candidate in tlie Rowland Ridlng,miist assume all responsibility for this Infamous document. He (Mr, Smith Curtis) hns pledged bis word that Hon, Joseph Martin is the paragon of perfection socially and politically. In tho second place, he has expressed himself willing lo accept responsibility for tho Government's actions, and those who think can readily make up their minds as to the character of thc man now seeking to control the destinies of tills Province Here we find a circular, proved, by the envelopes to have bum printed a week ago, dated ahead, und Sunday declared the'day of publication so far as the electors are concerned, It is unnecessary lo comment at length upon these disgraceful tactics, and l his only goes to proclaim, trunipettnngued, that If Hon, Joseph Martin should by any chance be sustained in oflice, the interests of British Columbia will at all times Ik* in jeopardy, If any eleitor lias up to lhe present time heen in doubt, we think this shameful effort lo mislead and misrepresent should be sufficient to suggest llm candidate lie should mark his ballot for.

Nevertheless, why should u man who aspires to represent a large constituency like that of Rossland riding descend to so low a deplh as to endeavor to besmirch a man who bas met him lu a candid, open, honest and manly fashion on every occasion possihleP Yet there are some of the electors who imagine they c.iii vote for Mr. Smith Curtis without endorsing the Hon, Joseph Martin, eo * KETTLE RIVER MINING DIVISION. Records for the Week Ending flay 31st, 1900, Unmanly Tactics. Mr. Smith Curtis has for some time posed as an honest and upright believer in fair play. At various meetings throughout the Rossland Riding he has declared that under no circumstances would he indulge in personal ities, and would stand or fall by the Martinite platform. What do we find ? Atn meeting in Columbia recently he suited that "Ex-Governor Mackintosh was the servant of the Dunsuiuirs and the C, P. R-" Of course, his opponent wns not present; but Mr. Curtis knows Well as tlie electors know that Mr. Mackintosh has over nnd over again publicly repudiated this assertion; that he stated he had never had a conference with Mr. Dunsmuir; that he did not approve of Mr. Dunsmuir's policy bf employing Chinese or other Asiatic labor; that he hud no connection, directly or indirectly, with the 0. P. R. ; that he was a candidate in the interests of the Kootenay country, and that he would stand or fall by that pledge. What could hn mealier than tliis policy ol del ruction ? What could more thoroughly prove thut Mr, Curtis Ib u beaten man? Over and over again, in tlie presence of Mr. Smith Curtis, thc ex-governor has proven by documentary evidence that the slanders directed at him bad no foundation whatever. To refer to another subject: At Grand Forks on Saturday night last the-Martinite candidate was accompanied by one. R. A. Brown, the partner of Messrs. Martin and Curtis in a properly known as the Sunset in the Similkameen district. He (Mr. Smith Curtis) introduced tho Sunset question a,s a. factor in this campaign ; and upon written evidence being produced, signed hy Mr. Brown, showing that Mr. OurUs and Mr. Martin were ,,,-l.ml.. ho ii'.-xn) I'i'l Uexlxd OKBTIKICATKH OF WOllK.
