Houston Challenges Smith Curtis to
Resign and the Challenge
Is Accepted.
Victoria, May ».— ThU afternoon and
evening the house whs treated tn a
Hiirring delate on the reporl. of the
loan railway liill. The I.ill wuh completed in committee at two o'clock
thin morning. Tallow's motion practically excluding the V. P. R. from the
Const to KiHilemiy contract was then
defeated liy a vole of 2(1 lo l;i. On report this afternoon, however, Tatlow
revived his resolution in a modilled
form liy moving that in giving a suhsidy for the Ooast to Kootenay road
preference should he given to n compel itive line.
During a speech hy Curtis some very
sharp passages took place hetween lie
and the premier. The latter said it
was uot the intention of the government to give a contract to ihe (,'. P, It.
hut t.n Ihe road offering the hest hin-
gain, and added that if the V, V. k K.
would agree to Ihe terms of the hill
they would give it to the V. V. A: E.
lo night. Furlher questioned by
Curtis the premier said that lie did
nol agree with Miirtin that, the (.'. P,
It. was the only road which could
huild the line, lie added that, the
piovince could not have a competitive
Ihu-, hut that the only way to get a
competitive line waa to have ihe control of rales.
The premier finally lost his temper
anil said he was willing to rei-ign to-
nit-hi and go lo the country on the
lii 1. (lur'.is retorted, "Do It, do it."
Houston then followed with a challenge to (Hii tis ihal, he resign snd uu
hack to his constituency, Curl i.s immediately took it up nnd offered to
t'l-sigo and tun in Vancouver in opposi
lion to Martin und if allowed to make
one speech, declaring he would heat
Mm i in out of his hoots, Mclnnes
followed Curtis and ki lacked him as
Inconsisient iu a muling speech. He
referred to the fact that compel ition
iu coal hetween Dutisnitlir and tlie
company headed hy Kohius, al-i. one
of the greatest philanthropists in
Canada, had not kept down the price
of coal.
Eherts spoke for the government,
holding that on Saturday tin- V. V. k
E. promoters had a conference with
lhe government, at which Dunsmuir
offered lo give them the contract for
the Coast to Kootenay roud al once if
ihey would accept the government's
terms. Instead Ihey had otf ned lo
huild Hu miles ut euch end.
McBiide also spoke and the division
resulted as follows : Ayes— (iiltnonr,

properties in that section of the conn-
entered the Columhlan office ahout
seven o'clock and informed the malinger, Mr. Taylor, that he would have
to tak° possession.
He asked for the keys, hut Mr. Taylor refused to give tip possession,
Mr. Kennedy hroitght iu a carpenter
and ordered him to take off the old
lock and put on a new one. Thts carpenter wus warned hy Mi. Taylor to
leave the door alone, hut the workman did as he was told hy Mr. Ken'
nedy, and when he had finished handed
the key to him,
Mean while Mr.Taylor had telephoned
for Mr. li. I.. Reid, thi solicitor of the
company, and Capt, Pittendrigh, S.
M. Both these officials having arrived
hefore Mr. Kennedy left the premises,
a warrant for his arrest wus sworn out
hy Mr. Taylor.
OfH-.er Johnson made the arrest and
Mr. Kennedy was taken to jail, He
was seen hy a representative of Ihe
paper hut refused to make any statement fnr publication. Mr. Kennedy
was let out on a hail of $500.
The case was called at 11 o'clock this
uiorning, hut was adjourned till Thursday, the adjournment heing mude tn
allow tin- interested parties to procure
some documents which are necessary
to hu hrought hefore Ihe court.
Mr. Taylor is authority for the statement thai civil suits would he started

A  Former   Proprietor of  the New
Westminster Columbian Attempts
to Take Possession of Plant.
The vagaries of the tlolumhian of
New Westminster have contributed
much to ihe gaiety of nations from
lime to lime, hut it is safe lo say that
tbe last prank played under il-auspices
quite outdoes anything hi its previous
record.
As everybody knows, the Columbian
used lu he a sluing supporter of Ihe
Lilieral party when Ihe Kennedy
brothers owned ii. One of Ihe Ken
nedy*. became pnsiniusier ami the
paper. In-ill-; acquired hy thu Columbian Printing company, wilh Mr. .1. 0.
Taylor as managing editor, became I he
chief ex lion, nl of Ooiiset'vntism in Bt-i
lish Columbia.
During lhe lasl. Doniinion election
tbe Columbian wan an ardent opponent
of the governiuenl. The tight It put
up in favor of Hon. Edgar Dewdney,
the Conservative nominee, wus dis
linctly poor, mid the Liheral candidate,
Mr. Aulay Morrison, wiisclected by an
overwhelming majority. From that
I line on, It is understood, things have
nol, Ineu pailti'tiliiriv happy, hul mat
lew came to it crisis last night when
Mr. Koheil Kennedy, on., of the former
owners, attempted lo lake ovei the
ownership of lhe paper again, and as a
result was arrested tin a charge of des-
inning pioperty.
According lo Mr. Tayloi-a payment
of $6,(100 principal and $17oln'pi'.-sl was
due to Kennedy Bros, nn May 2. A
check for l lie amount was tendered by
Mr. O. I.. C .rhdiild, president of lbe
conipany. bin was refu-eil. Then the
amount was tendered in gold, hut, the
a.'ceplani'o was i-i-fti-.-il ow ng In a difficulty ahoul a uioi'lgag" on th-properly which was to have been assumed
by the compuny.
A Large Body of High tirade Ore Has
Been Struck at the -oo-l-'oot Level.
A rich body of ore has been struck
on the 400-foot level in the west end of
the Cariboo. The face of the drift nl
Ihut level showing six feet ot high
grade ore. The marked success of the
development work in the Cariboo dining ihe last two months has been phenomenal, and has thoroughly eonvinc
eil tbe utaiiitgeinent of the future possi
bilities of the pioperty, depth giving
greater solidity and richness to th
ore hody, and though dnuhtless breaks
or faiths will be encountered, they will
occur with less frequency, and the
plans for increasing the output of the
mine, which have been for some time
in contemplation, may now he carried
out with tbe utmost confidence.
The Cariboo stands pre eminent as
the free gold mine of Briiish Columbia.
Ils unbroken mill run of over seven
years, its constant record as a dividend
payer, with its present remarkable
showing nf a large hody of high
grade ore in the levels, must place this
properly in the premier rank as one
if not Ihe most successful of the milling
undertakings of the province.
Though the Carihoo overshadows all
other properties of Ihe camp, then
are many claims of undoubted merit
whose owners have as far as means
permitted, endeavored to develop, but
owing to lack of capital many of these
properties hnve scarcely mm* than
passed the prospective stage. Tbe
huilding of the new wagon road this
summer from Camp McKinney to Rock
Creek will pass thinugh one of the
most promising mineral seel tons in the
vicinity of the camp, and when finished
will lie the stage road, being shorter
and a better grade tbanthe old road,
and its construction will be of the
greatest benefit to tbe camp, more particularly lo the owners of the War
Kagle, Le Hoi. Homes take, Triangle,
Dayton, Night Hawk, .Inn Crow, etc.,
lo whom it will give means of transportation, and whose pro|ierties are
well worth the attention of mining
investors,

WILL RESUME WORK
On the Okanogan Uold nines,   Ltd.,
at Oroville.
Tbe Okanogan (iold Mines. Limited,
situated near Oroville, is again to resume work on a large scale. Tin-
affairs of the company have been iu
lmd shape for some time. A large

tin- placing of the properly in the
hands nf a liqiiiiljilor.
An extraordinary general meeting
of the coinpaiiy has heen called at
Hossland for May 27 lo organise the
coinpaiiy and to resume work.
The reports from the Okanogan mine
show that at present Ihere is a considerable amount of ore in sight of
sufficiently high grade to pay off all
the debts of lhe company. The uttli/.-
ni inn of ibis nre, along with the,money
available under l he plan of reconstruction and the placing nf development
work always ahead ol the requirements of lhe mill, will, in the opinion
of the directors, Boon dear the mine of
delil, and ll can nol. he very lung hefore the mine is placed on a dividend

towns in tbe districl recognize this
nnd instead of holding celebrations In
rivulrv to Midway, now look forward io
coming to tiur town on lhat duy and
having a good time. ("Ireat harmony
exists among lhe towns of iheiBound-
nry district regarding holidays. A few
years ago there were only three towns
in the district—Grand Forks, Green-
Wood and Mid vny. The billet-place, as
before staled, held lhe 2ilh of May,
ftieunwood held the 1st ol July, while
Grand Porks, partly for the r.'asin of
not. continuing wiili either of the other
towns untl partly because there were a
large number of Americans tributary
to that town, reiugnizi-d the:ith of
July as their day fm recreation,
Residents from the other towns visited
the town Ihal was holding its
celebration, and so it lias been ihut
although the spirit ot rivalry has heen
displayed to a certain  extent among
iiii' three lowns n.enli d, regarding
their ndvnncemenl, yet when Imlidajs
were held all   this   feeling   was   set
aside and all united in having a good

afforded  on  the respective  holidays.
hi only mentiooing ihree lowns ii is

rapidly until now il is one of the must
prosperous towns in lhe district.   It.
has a large population and we hope
that a larger number of residents will
visit Midway on May 21th and assist
in making the celebration the grandest sticces Mid w ay lias ever experienced
and although the 24thof May und July
1st, the two great national holidays of
Ihis country, are celebrated by towns
in the districl we  hope thai Phoenix
will select a  day  on  which  to  hold
spoils and thus allow the people from
Midway tm opportunity of returning
lhe  visit,  which  we anticipate  that

of May has been set apart as a permanent national holiday and Victoria
Day will he looked forward to by all
loyal British subjects just the same as
that date was  when  il  was  held  in
honor of our lain Queen's birthday,  li
Is our chance of paying a tribute of
Mwpect  to  our   depin led  ruler, und j
pievious years, to do all thai they can
in the way of contributions and lending their assistance both before and ou
that day, to make the celebration a
ciedit to Midway. A large crowd is
expected und we want the sports lo
exceed their expectations, so that they
will go away feeling salistied with the
pleasure the day nlfnrded and resolved
to again visit Midway when it .holds
a celebration.

Who fancies ''something hoi,"
And takes a swig of Itadwny
To touch tbo chilly spot,

Which llm tumbler has to drown,
And another drinks a bumper
To help a blue pill down ;

About  the  Local  Horses  That Arc
lieing Trained for Victoria Day.
The races on tbe 21'h of Mny til's
ye ir ui Midway promise to surpass
iliose of nny previous year. Lncnl

tit Ing their horses. W. St. Qulntin i-

It is well known lhat it requires a good
horse to successfully compete wiih
Christmas even when he is not ii
shape, so that witb the attention he i-
receiving al Ihe pit-sent lime ihere i
Utile doubt but that he will he
the winner of lhe free for-all trot. Ill
innking Ihis assertion we are guided
almost entirely by the fact that lie is
tin- favorite with tbe majority of lhe
sports uud is consequently recelyii ir
the most bricking, nnd if In- is success
ful on thai day he will,in ah probability,
llgnrc prominently at all the meets
within a reiisoualile distance throughout the season.
Tb.-re is nnly one other horse in the
immediate district thul is likely lo
hold n place with Christmas, und ihnt
is Whirlwind, belonging tn A. K Hoc

many races nnd ii is claimed by many

A few days ago n meeting wns quietly arriing.-d lietween ihe uwnins of the

weie speeded, but with whnt. result i-
tiot known, only the fact Ihui holli
nwoeis se.-in in huve such faith in Iheir
respective hnrses has given lbe iniprcs
sinn that Ihere was hul little difference
in tlie speed of the Iwo trotters.

FROM BOUNDARY MINGS.
New Machinery at the No. 7-Kepub-
llc's Qood Showing.
The new machinery lately installed
-on the No, 7 mine in Central camp is
nnw running smoothly, sleain having
been got tip for the  first  time nhout
ten days ago.   The No. 7 is the only
mine heing worked in   thnt  camp at
the present time.   It is owned hy the
No. 7 Mining Compuny, of New York,
the principal shareholders heing also
leading members of lhe Briiish Colunihia Copper Conipany, which has done
such extensive and successful work in
developing the Mother Lode mine in
Deadwood camp.   The No. 7 was acquired under bond hy Col. John  Weir
for himself and New Yoik associates
about the same time as they secured
the  Mother Lode and  il   was  first
worked, concurrently with the latter,
in 1808-7.   A shaft was sunk 130 feet,
and between 100 and 600 feet of cross-
cutting and drifting was done at that
depth, this work resulted in its being
conclusively shown that the lead gave
excellent promise of proving permanent.   The ore is quartz, iitineralixed
with   galena   and   carrying   values
chiefly in  gold  and  silver.    Surface
croppings indicated that tlie lead was
continuous for about 700  feet  in the
northern part of the claim, hut higher;
up the hill, lo lhe sooth of  the shaft,
an old ravine, filled wilh wash, cut it
off.   A prospect shaft sunk still farther
south picked up the lead again.   After
the. year 1897 very little work was done
on the claim, only  sufficient In  fulfill
the requiienienis of the law in Ihis
connection, until a crown grant was
obtained, and since then no work was
done  underground   until   Ihis  year.
When ihe No. 7 Company was organized, a year or more ago, mine build- j
ings were erected,  mine timbers and
cord wood were cut and other preparations were made for further opening
np the mine, hut Ihis intention was
abandoned for a time, and attention
was concentrated on the Mother Lode.
Now, however, conditions being more
favorable, Ihe No. 7 is to be developed.
A carload of ote from the Republic
group, near Boundary Fulls, has been
sent to lhe Gteenwood smelter, Ihis
heing the flrst shipment made from
thnn«'«»l».**-»    an          ■
locations made in thc dislrict before
the Non Such but it to they were nut
kept on record from time of first record
to tbe present,
The group hat been owned for the
last five or six years by the Kepubli
MTHJE 8P FOHFEITUBE.

The claims are all crown granted and
consequently there haa not lieen any
necessity to do work on them during
the last two or three years.   The development work done nn them to date
is as under : Republic, shaft 100 feet;
Last Chance, shaft 100 feet and crosscut 25 feet; Non Such, shaft 80 feet,
raise 07 feet, lower lunnel 360 feet ami
upper tunnel 'Ait) feet; total 1,022 feet
of underground woik.    Only surface
prospecting   has heen done   on lhe
Hidden Treasure.  The ore is generally quartz, containing values in gold
end silver,   That front Loth Che Republic und Last Chance is freely mineralized with galena and iron  pyrites
and is generally in appearance one of
the nicest looking ores yet found   in
the   district, although   it does   not
show sn much  native silver as that
from the Gold Bug and D. A. claims,
located north-west of Grenwood by D.
A. Holbrook.   It is intended to continue making small shipments of ore
from the Republic group to the Greenwood smeller.

An  Ottawa   correspondent   of the
Mail, says an Knglisli gentleman visiiing Ollaiva, tells a good story almut
Mr. Dan Mann, I he railway contractor,
which he vouches for as correct.   It
was when Mr. Mann was in China two
years ago looking after a hig railway
concession.   One evening at Ihe eluh
in Tien-Tsin an altercation broke out
lietween a Russian and a French of
fleer.   Mr. Munn, who was present,
was appealed to as umpire, and gave
his decision in favor of the Frenchman.
This so incensed Ibe Uuwian that nnxt
morning he sent a second to Mr. Mann
demanding satisfaction,   Only for  u
moment was the sturdy Canadian railroader surprised, and then recollecting
thul according to the code governing
duelling Ihe choice of weapons lay with
