HAIN & CO., General Merchants POSTOFFICE STORE, MIDWAY. Will Shortly Commence Construction From Mere to the Coast-Dirt Will be Flylnit by the First af flay. It now seems more certain lhan ever thai, dirt will hi* flying by Mny 1st for thn I'onatruollon of two linns nf railway from Midway to the coast. Among the passengers on Friday's train was .las. H. Kennedy, of St. Thulium, Ont.,and a party of surveyors, whn will lie engaged for some time in running the preliminary line of the V. V. _ E. railway from Midway west. Tht; party left on Saturday for a point about, 15 miles west of here and will work towards Midway, It is .now the intention of Mann h Mackenzie to huild the V. V. & E, whether the government, subsidy he granted or not and il. is a sure thing that, if they do, the C. P. R. will not he lung behind them in commending operations. The western terminal of lbe Coast- Koolenay railway will he Vancouver. Thu route will extend through the valley of the Fraser river, scale the Hope mountains, traverse thu Siniilkameen and Okanagan districts and a portion of the. Boundary district. Considerable speculation is being indulged in respecting the eastern terminus of the road. Both Cascade and Midway, points in the Boundary district on the international frontier, have been mentioned as lbe pi obable terminal, Hisohviims lhat the proposed railway will be useless unless it forms a connection with some other line in order lo handle through truffle ; that Jim Hill of the Great Northern has an understanding with Mann _ Mackenzie is also apparent. Th** .simple circumstances that the surveyors travelled west an passes issued by ihe (ireat Northern tells its own story ; moreover Howard Hill, a inemher of the outllt is stated to he a relative of the president of the company. Jim Hill's surveyors Lave already surveyed a line from Marcus, a point on the Spokane Falls k Northern, up tbe water grade of the Kettle river through the Colville reservation lo Nelson, Wash., a point foui and one half miles from Grand Forks, The survey also touches a point on the frontier, twelve miles east, at Cascade, II. C. If Jim Hill does noi build further wbbI. lhan Casende or Nelson the Mann k Mackenzie people will have to cross the divide hetween Boundary creek and Fourth of July creek, a feat that can not be accomplished without the expenditure of a large sum of money. Hill, however, would have no difficulty in extending his line further west, from Nelson by following lhe water grade of the main Kettle river entirely Ihrough American territory to Midway, B. C. If Hill comes as far ae Nelson, a point west of Cascade,-il is evident lhat he will also extend south to Republic and other camps on the Reservation, The best engineering talent has expressed the opinion that the alternative route via tbe San Poil valley .is impracticable owing to the cost. x+a Monument to Canadian Soldiers. A Montreal press dlspalch states that it bus been decided to erect a monument in Montreal to cost. $;{(),0(I0 in nii'iniiiy nl' the Canadian soldiers, wbo went In fight for the empire in Smith Africa. Fifteen thousand dollars has been collected towards a monument to commemorate Lord Strathcona's patriotic action. His lordship, however, has writ len lo Principal Peterson, of McUill, declining to bave a monument elected to himself in bis lifetime. He advises thai the subscriptions be turned over to lbe Soldiers' Monument fund and this lias been done, raised Whether that would affect lhe rates in British Oolumhla, and in reference to the milter a prominent insurance man, whn is considered au authority, has given the following information for the benefit of those who are interested in insuranee rates in this province : * "The recent increase of Are insurance rates in the east will not he extended to British Columbia. On account of the greatly increased Are waste of recent years, this action nf tbe companies has become necessary. It has also heen made evident to them that the cause of these fires must he removed so far as possible and greater protection supplied. To accomplish the former a system of specific ratings has been adopted hy them for the eastern cities, similar to tbat at present, in use in British Columbia. Specific ratings are separate rates, ptihlished for each building, and made by an inspector after a personal and thorough inspection of each building, taking into con sideration construction, occupancy, surroundings and condition of the building. The advantages in this system to the owners and companies alike can readily he seen. A well conditioned, constructed and protected building will enjoy a low rate of insurance, while one adjoining il, which is poorly constructed and in alittered and untidy condition, must pay for such deticicn cies and neglect. The owner of the latter will want to know why bis rale is so much higher than that of his neighbor, and unon learning the company's reasons will recognize the consistency of the difference and willingly correct the limits, so far as it mny lie possible, in order to obtain a lowof rate, Thus much of the fire hazard is eliminated. The system formerly in use in the east has lieen to establish n rate for each of four classes of buildings in a city and apply such rale, regardless of the many deficiencies and causes from accumulation of combustible litter and rubbish frequently found iu huildings." m TWO DAYS' SESSION ra mm placers A Company Has Been Formed to Search for the Yellow Metal. UN MILES OF ROCK CREEK Have Been Acquired for Their Operations-Work Has Already Commenced. Date of Prince's Visit. It is learned froni an official source that the visil to Ottawa of His Knyal Highness, the Duke of Cornwall and York, will lake place in the'middle of Septemher, An intimation to this effect, has, il, is understood, been received at the vice-regal residence, Ottawa. The Duke and Duchess will visit Canada nn their ret urn from the ceremonies of the Australian confederation, and, after I om iiigtbe Doniinion, will go to Newfoundland, sailing from there for England about the middle of October. Insurance Rates. On account nf the big fires in the east the insurance rates have been increased for the country as far west ns Winnipeg, Thc question has been Of the Associated Boards of Trade Held In Oreenwood on Friday and Saturday. The third annual convenlion of the Associated Boards of Trade of Eastern British Columbia opened Friday morning at Greenwood, After the report of committee on credentials was received, C. Scott Galloway, of Oreenwood, was elected presi dent, and H. W. C, Jackson, of Rossland, was re-elected secretary. An adjournment was then made to allow the delegates an opportunity of visiting the Greenwood smeller. < Friday afternoon was taken up with business relating to the mining indus try of the interior of British Columbia. The recommend ition .if the association, asking the Dominion governiuenl. to bonus a lead refinery, received the unanimous support of the members, The question of recommending a railway charter to tap the Fernie coal mining district by the Great, Northern system was fully discussed. The priu cipal speakers in favor of the charter were Messrs. Ross, Curl Is and Bently, and Messrs. .Goodeve, O'iver and Topping against. The delegates finally passed a resolution favoring the Hill chart er hy a vote of 31 io 5. The following resolutions passed at tlie second annual convention weie reaffirmed, viz: Placing the words "Boundary district" on government maps, platting city additions, government maps of occupied lands, a Supreme court judge for the interior.min ing roads, city limits, lead industry re distribution of provint ial repri sentation immediately after the completion of the census, wagon roads and hails for the development of mining sections, the "open dour" policy regarding railways, freight rates on farm products, and amendments to the Companies Ad and Rivers and Streams Act. In the evening the delegates were entertained by the local hoard to a banquet at the Windsor hotel, Saturday Me. Koas introduced a r nlution recommending the gianting of a charter to Robert. Wood and other fora railway connecting the Columbia k Western with ihe Shuswap k Okanagan, which met the favor of the asso elation and was endorsed. The pro posed line will nun from the present terminus of thc V. k W. at Midway through the rich milling districts of the Wesl Fork and main Kettle river and lhe agricultural region ou tlkaua gan lake, tapping the Shuswap &■ Okanagan railway al Vernon. This ■line will prove beneficial to both the mining camps of Boundary and the agricultural districts along Ihe Okana gan lako, as well as opening up the great mining regions of the West Fork and -Kettle river, and also give the people of this dislrict more direct rail communication with the const centers of commerce, The 'historic .Rock creek placers are again being exploited. Tbis time not In lhe manner of the early sixties when the first feverish prospectors cradled Its sands in their search for t be yellow metal, hut hy a system known as "booming." H. M. Keefer, mining broker, of this city, and C. W. V'uhba; of Spokane, have formed the Ruck creek Consolidated Placer Mining conipany, limited. The undertaking is capitalized for $7,500 in 3011 shares of the par value of DBK per share. Tbe first hoard of directors has tbenames nf Mayor It. W. .lakes, M.jD„ex-Miiynr Robert Wood, P. P. Sliaipe. A. ,E. Ashcroft, O.E., C. W. Vcdder, H, M. Keefer and H. 0. Shan. Wiibin a week over UX) shares were subscribed for locally and a force of men bus started operations. The company has acquired ten mill s nf creek digging leases ulnng.thc course of Rock creek, from'"Unljy Jink's bridge" to within a mile and a quart v of Rock Creek posliiflice, at Ihejuoc- tion of that stream with the Kettle river. Albert E. Ashetoft, C. E„ Wbo thoroughly examined the creek jiikI knows its conditions says I bat the only previous attempt to reach bedrock was made at the nioiiih of the creek a il aliout a mile up, here the ground wot worked liy a hydraulic plant. Since, its discovery all the other bins ami benches have been prospected by shafts and wooden pumps worked by waler win-els. During tlie early sixties a large floating population of miners was supporti-d by its gold, and since then many Chinamen and a few whiles have made wages. Willie Mil estii'jjti.e is obtainable bearing wilh accural;)' on Ihe amount of yellow metal secured since ils discovery Rock creek is-gem r- ally credited wiih from ilSIMHJO up. wards. Millers are apparently well satisfied that if bedrock could lie rem,lied and worked, coarse gold in nhun* dance wnuld lie obtained. With this end in view it Is proposed liy the company lo work the ground by "boom* ing." Briefly this consists of cons: i n t- ing a dam at a suitable point in the canyon, having a gate so built, tha when Ihe reservoir is full, thecal i is automatically opened and closed itgi.in when the subsequent rnrh of-watHrttiiM passed. This process is com innetlf ir days or weeks, so long as ii is necessary, the object being Ioc plelely scour the stream bed for some cniisiif cable distance below ihe dam, thus exposing bediock which can then be cleaned as in ordinary placer mining, 'JDbissys* tem is in vogue in the placer mines of New Zealand and Iris been proved an unqualified success under conditions similar to those obtaining at Ruck creek. Where thc wash overlaying the bedrock is in the nature ofa Kind cement and the gold is flaky aud fine, ihe system does not answer, tint itis believed that Whal gold is on the bedrock is coarse, and the wash, even if deep, is such a character as to he moved hy the process mentioned. Aneroid readings show that the rise in the bed of Rock creek along tlte course of tbe proposed operation-, averages rather more than 1(H)feet io lhe mile, Ihe rise being less Inward the mouth of ibe stream, nnd ut the tipper end of the property, being as much as three feel per 100 feet, or 151) feet per mile.

The Dominion Government proposes to guarantee five-eighteenths on Sfl, 000,000 towards the cost of. laying a cable lietween Canada and Australia. It is very satisfactory to know that in the course of a few days lhe members of the Chinese Commission will leave Ottawa for the coast to begin the investigations, wbich has been entrusted to them, Mining men will be interested in the announcement which has just been made lhat the Provincial Government has determined to increase tbe size of placer claims lo 250 feet square. A great deal of lhe provisions of theold net emanated from Atlin mid oilier northern districts and this will now be removed. The Provincial Government has pledged itself to support the Coast Kootenay Kailway and a party of surveyors are already iu the field for the purpose of making the survey for this line. Tbis certainly looks as if the V, V, „ K. would he built, at no late date for Mann k Mackenzie have promised lhat, if the Dominion and Provincial subsidy be granted, 100 miles of Ihe mad will he built Lefoie the end of the year, It is almost a certainty that if the V. V. k E, coin niences to huild tbat tbe C. P. It. will be forced to extend its line from here to the coast, because Ibat corporation will never allow any other road to have a monopoly of ali the traffic between here and the coast. Veidi'p will contains one curious item. The residuary legatee is his niece, Maria Verdi, who Is married to Siguor Carrara. To the infant asylums and tbe hospital for the blind at Genoa he bequeaths £4,000. Large sums are also lefl to the charitable institutions and lo the poor of his native village, Roncole, and also to those of Hussein, where he lived for many years. Then comes the following uncomfortable re quest,: "In the dining room of my villa. St. Again, will he found two large wooden lioxes of great antiquity. I de- sire that neither shall be opened, hut that both he burned immediately aft* my obsequies." What these mysterious boxen contained can be mailer only for wildest conjecture. .M.8.S. of unpublished operas is what the majority nf the guessers are pronouncing. The Federal Government afler making a diligent enquiry into matters nf establishing a branch of the Royal Mint of Canada, has, il is understood, decided to begin operations in connection therewith, so soon as the necessary preliminaries ace arranged. Of course it will take some lime to com plete all Ihe preliminaries, but nevei theless the tact remains that Canada is to have a mint, * It will not, how ever, be located iu the west as was at first supposed, Imt in all probability at Ottawa, ii being the capital, where the paper money, postage stamps, inland revenue stamps, etc., are. printed. People in this Province would like to have seen it established in British Columbia, hut would much rather see it established at Ottawa than not to have it all, us a branch of the Imperial Mint will greatly benefit the entire Dominion. A Oovernnient assay office is to he established at Vancouver, and it is most likely that W. Pellew-Hai vey will be placed in charge. The Dominion assay office will lie a distinct und entirely separate institution from the Provincial assay office now conducted by Mr. Harvey at Vancouver. This action of the Dominion Government is looked upon with satisfaction by ull Interested in Ihe welfare of the Piovince, and had the Government taken this mutter in hand u few years ago and established nn assay oflice of the kind that is now going to I* built, much of the gold that has been taken inM-u _,w,vn DHim the Kootenay country it will result in the building up of the city of Spokane, and the national spirit is appealed to prevent the c nisyuiioatlon of a project fraught with so much injury to Canada. In the east we are told that the interests of one railway company imperatively require a change which will result ih the building up of the city of Portland, in tbe state of Maine, and hy another company that its policy may require it to assist in adding lo the prosperity tif the city of Boston, We think i he railway companies shnuld be told that they cannot play fust and loose with policy and logic in that way. and that they cannot trade on national sentiment to prevent access to tlie United States in one locality und train pie on tbe same sentiment in order tu reach United States territory in another locality. The Parliament of Canada must decide, on broad lines of pol icy, whether the trade and commerce of tbis country is to lie built up hy running a Chinese wall hei ween us ami the United Stul.es or by having free access to that territory and that market so far as'railway communication is concei ned. There cannot he one policy for the east aud another for the wesl By what logic can it he shown to be proper that Portland should be mad.* the Atlantic port of the city of Mon treal and one great railway, that could not mak" the olher Portland tbe Pacific port for another great railway in the west ?" We notice in Eastern despatches that Dr. Horsey M. P. for North Gray, bus mt induced a hill at Ottawa wilh the object of making May 24th an annual public holiday in Canada. This is a good idea from several points of view—it being a very fitting tribute to ber late Majesty to commemorate her glorious reign in this manner, and again from a practical side, a holiday at this time of Ibe year is most desirable lieing conveniently situated between Easter holidays and Dominion Day. In speaking of this matter a correspondent to ihe Toronto Ololie says :—"I think the most beneficent, ihe most enduring, memorial Canada ran make to our Queen is to keep the 24th of May as her birthday it will always he, and what so calculated to inculcitte and foster loyalty and im perinlisui in out nation from generation lo general inn than continuing to connect the life nf Victoria with what has heen to our furthest memory a day of rejoicing? After a long winter, which brings restrictions to all, privations to some, spring surrounds us with her genial influences *. green woods, sunny fields and sparkling waters invite us lo enjoyment. Whal a cold chill will (all upon our hearts if the next 24th of May brings us no holiday, no pouring fourth of young and old for Ihe first day in the year of universal, honest, outdoor pleasure I For the flrst time in our lives no Queen's Birtbduy 1 In a long experience I have felt that morality and re ligion are more injured by the ever- increasing rush of work (bun t realized. Few comparatively now n days misuse a holiday. If tbe employ ees of lahor object, let those employed and those who purchase the products of lahor claim, not a new privilege. but one sanctioned by 03 years posses sinn, nearly one-third of the period oi our colonial history and half as long again as the duration of our confederated Dominion. Ask our French brethren jf Ihey do not want the boon of a holiday on the 'Hi h of May, ask Ontario, ask the wvst. Let them speak through tbeir mouthpiece, the ubiquitous press; let tbe Provincial Legislature declare their wishes, and then surely our wise and patriotic Oovernnient will see its way to make what il is haul to bring our- solves to believe was only a transient good, a permanent blessing. The Pacific Cable. Hon. Win. Mu lock gives notice of the following resolution with respect to the Pacific cable : That whereas hy thu Pacific cahle act of 1889 His Excellency in Council is authorized to guar antee payment of five eighteenths nf the principal sum of £1,700,000 sterling, to he applied in establishing direct submarine telegraphic communication between Canada and Australia; and ._,_.-■ . whereas, in iieu of said sum of £1.700. loSmitruncscoandSeulllebymiuers ooo, it ls estimated that for he pur- returning from the north would have af*,*es„id thw _*„ M been kept in the country.

Discussing the methods and policies of Canadian railways, the Winnipeg Five Press says : "The methods ot intimidation adopted by the railway companies are not always the same. In the far east one compuny threatens to take its business lo a port in the United States if the Government does not, agree to do whut the compuny wants. The same conipany in the far wejjt sets up u cry of danger to Canadian interests if any communication With the iJnited States is opened up. These two positions are utterly inconsistent, except from the poinl of view of a raliway company, whioh cares fevy little for consistency so long us tJ guarantee payment of five-eighteenths uf the principal and interest of and upon the securities to be issued hy the Government of the United Kingdom for raising the said sum, namely, $2,000,000, to he advanced. of London, Bug., with a view lo bringing British capital into touch with investments in Canada, undertakes lo publish, free of charge, the leading points of information concerning mining properties, farms, ranches, house property, concessions, water rights", or any kind of industrial venture intended ror su le, and which offers u suitable opportunity for such investment.

Armstrong, B. |, a son of Mr. 0. N. Armstrong of pronto, who has for a number of ar* been in charge of the fortiltca- |ns at Sierra Leone, on the west t of Africa, has just heen ordered lout h Africa and plnci'd in charge ie work of construction of four forts, designed for the hetter pro- lion of Cnpe Town. His brother, ptain Ohas. J, Armstrong, wbo lit out to South Africa as a solial* n iu lhe Montieal company of the ysl Canadian Regiment, is also iu ulh Africa on the staff of Lieut-Col. rouard, Director ot loiiieiial Mill- Railways. Lieut.-Cnl. Gordon, liuei'l) D. 0, C. al. Montreal, is refining in South Africa, General llrhener having required his scries, giving him command nf an luge River Oniony dislrict. The Vinel was in Cape Town, ready to Ive for England with Strut heona's fise, when bis new appointment— > sought after by Imperial officers— I given him, The Whole Town In the Hand* Of a Receiver. The entire town nf Molson, Okanoganicounly, Wash., is at present enjoying Ihe unique distinction nf heing in the hands of a receiver. Molson is a small town in the Okanogan mining district which is owned or claimed to be owned by one Geo. Mecham, And "there's the rub," for there are a number of people who do not believe that Mnlsun is tlie lawful property of Mecham. The occupancy of the town hy J, f). Mitchell, as receiver, and a numher nf deputies Under his orders is the sequel to the proceediiiKN begun in Spokane on Ilie lilt.h of this month. Happy ft, Hindman of Spokane and A. G. Neill of Chesaw represent the creditors of George Mechnin. These attorneys in behalf of theft'clients on the liiih day of February, 1001, Hied a petition of involuntary bankruptcy against George B. Mecham in the United Slates circuit court situated in Spokane. The petition was granted hy Judge Hanford, and J. D. Mitchell was subsequently appointed receiver. Upon receipt of the order from Judge Hanford appointing a receiver I he Spokane attorneys telephoned word of the court's aclion lo Mr. Mitchell, who proceeded to act out bin part iu the little drama, The affair has caused no end of excitement in Mnlsun, us well as in Ihe surrounding towns, nnd every detail is being paid the closest attention. Thc Tuesday issue uf the Seattle Post-Intelligencer snys : "Monday night, acting under an order of the court, which was telephoned in from Spokane, J. I), Milchell, as receiver, accompanied .hy a host of deputies, swarmed down upon the unsuspecting town of Molson and proceeded tu take charge of aff iirs ann^j make ao inventory of Ihe liquors in saloons, lhc furniture nf the buildings and closed up the Colville 'Reservation syndicate's offices. ' They also took charge of the Hotel Tnnavket, one of the finest hotels in Okanogan country. "The affair which precipitated the action is recited in the fact that George B. Mecham Ave months ago left fir New York to nrgnnize'a company for the purpose of raising money to develop the Poland Cliinn mine and also to greasy the wheels for the further growth of Molson and its tributary mines. Whetr Mr. Mecham left he was considerably in debt, and the petitioned set forth thnt it is their belief thai Meibnin iloi's not intend to return, in spite of lhe aulhoiitativ, statements given out hy hN agents at MiiNoll that he hart been successful iu financial unit ters in the east nnd that his return would he n matter of bul a short time. "Ernest Peck, counsel for the On!- ville Reservation syndicate, of which Mr. Mecham Is the controlling spirit, stated to-day to the Post-Intelligencer correspondent that, he had imt been officially informed of the proceedings yet, hut Ihnt the case would be fought ont in Spokane al an early date. The company intends lo resist Ihe charges made, and il is hinted thnl proceedings have l>ecn irregular on lhe part of the receiver so there is a prospect of a big legal fight Id determine the equity of Ihe case. Mr. Mecham is now on his way from New York to Molson." W. W. Hindman, of the firm nf Happy k Hindman, Spokane, when asked about the mailer snid : "We telephoned the inforinatioii concerning lhe order of lhe court, np to Mr. Mitchell, and I guess, he did the rest. We have not heard from Molson directly, but from what, we hear in a roundabout way everything seems to las going all right. Our lino, working in conjunction with A. G. Neill of Chesaw, represents three of lhe creditors. As this is a rase of involuntary bankruptcy I do not know how many uioie creditors there are and I can't tell how long it will he before we will be ready for trial, as Mecham is not here and we don't know where he is." me* Columbia River Bridge. The work of construction on the tl. P. R, bridge across the Columbia river below Robson, is progressing satisfactorily. The east and west abutments have lieen completed and piers No. I and 8, which adjoin Ihese, have also heen finished. The foiinda Won for lhe pier upon which the pivot will be placed, being No, 4, has been completed to the level nf tne water. The caissons for piers Nns. 2 and H have l«en constructed and will he sunk into place witli concrete within a few days. The masonry work Ih also gel ting along well. All the piles that will he required Jo complele the work have been delivered. These will be used chiefly in the construction of pier No. 5, and also for dolphin, to which a schooner will he anchored, from which the masonry of the deep water piers will he done, A new consignment of cement to bu, used nt the bridge Is now on the way from Vancouver. There is now no doubt that one and probably two railways will be building out of Midway as soon as spring opens, and Midway is destined to become the commercial and railway centre of the Boundary country.
