IQIHI HAIN & CO. The air in full of railway rumors, nml it would appear Unit there is good {•ji use for their circulation, I. will he remembered Hint James I. Hill ii short time ago in his speech ni Orand Korks stated thai he intend- ■il lo Imilil the Coast-Kootenay rail- nay, ahd although no definite time was given fcr comnieticitiK construe- Iiott, ll, whs ihe general opinion that his remarks were very significant, and i hat ere long the work Would lie com menced on this long-looked for line of railway. Mr. Hill Is always credited with being sincere in his remarks, romancing living entirely foreign to his mil ure, so when he told the people he was going lo build the mad Ihey believed him, and subsequent events have strengthened thr belief. Theie are always a tserlain nunilier of pi'cliiuintries to be gone ihrough frnui lbe lime any new line of railway is Hist projected up to when actual construction takes place. The lime occupied by these preliminaries varies accoiding to the extensiveness of i he iimiei taking and the obstacles that have to lie ovei-ome tu getting mallei s well under way. Of course people grow impatient while these mailers are being arranged. So soon, as a ■ruivey line is run the interested puhlic looks for immediate construction mid the lime seems long until it actually takes place. Fur year* the people of the Boundary country have been waiting for the construction of the Coasl-Kooteuay railway, and no place in the district, perhaps, has suffered by this delay more than Midway, for railway coin* iiiunicatinn with the west Is hadly needed, which haa made the |ieriod of waiting seem all the longer. Hut il now appeals reasonably certain that the time occupied by preliminary Work ts drawing tu a close and lhat lhe time for construction Is getting very dose, for J.i*. H. Kennedy, chief engineer oil he V. V. & E. railway, has stated definitely that the ponion of the road fiom Curlew in Midway will be built this year and lhe following dispatches from Vancouver nnd (Irand Korks refer to the remainder of the road and are self explanatory. They art' as follows: Vancouver, Aug. 27.— A special from Ottawa says : J. N. Greenshields, solicitor for Mackenzie k Mann, and Norman McLean and I), tt. Macdnnell of Yamouver, are arranging wilh the government regarding the proposed t'oast Knuieiiiiy railway. Itis stated that Mackenzie k Mann, who have a charter for the same route, previously purchased from Vancouver parlies, have wit lull awn tbeir opposition to McLean brothers. With Mackenzie & Maim, the (ireat Northern is acting, ami Mr. Greonshiolds claims that they have, a bona fide intention of building tlie line. The withdrawal of opposi tion to the new plan of McLean brothers is said to lie due lo an understanding airived nt. between all the parlies, io the effect that the line will be built as a Orent Northern proposition by McLean brothers, lucked locally by Mackenzie * Mann. The line will also have direct connection with the Crow's Nest, where President Hill, of the (ireat Northern, is hugely Interested (IRANI) FoRKB, Aug. 27.—.lames II Kennedy, chief engineer of the V.

Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Lupfer, nr rived in Midway on Friday front Orand Korks and loft the same day on Iheir journey west. The building of this road means much, not only to this district and those through wbich it traveises, hul to the entire province. It, gives us competition in railways, which is the only means of getting anywhere near a reasonable rate for either passenger nr freight traffic, Railway companies like all other corporal Ions are out for making money, and if tbey have the monopoly of the trade for nny one place it means a regular ''hold up." Hut competition equalizes in.itters. It gives the people the advantage of a rate ihat is not prohibitory and ut ihe same time a rale t lint enables tiie railway Cntupaliiesto make gond money. The Coas'.-KootetiHy railway will open up a lich mineral country mul cause prosperity to reign uie re Hereto* fore it was a stranger, for no other reason than lack of tnilway facilities. . * A B. C.

C. shipped about 10,500 Ions of oie of excellent grade to Trail. The output for 11*11 was about 18,000 tons, and tlie comparatively small shipments dining the current year sent the gross output of the mine to date to about 7I),I)(X) Ions. The precise figures of tonnage lo December 31st last were 07.180 ions, giv ing an average assay of 0.015 oz, gni'l, 2,li> oz. silver, and 5.8 par cent, copper (wet assay) per ton. Aboui four-tenths of this ore went to lhe Trail smell ei and the remainder to the Hritish Col- uiubii, Copper Company's smeller al Greenwood. Tlie ore is cbalcopyrite, pyrrhotile and some pyrite, with small quantities of gold and silver. About. 7,000 lineal feetof woikili all bave been done iu underground devoloptnent of the mine, the deepest shaft on whicli is 4U0 feet in depth. The mine Is equipped with a sufficient power plant lo break and hoist more than 21*1 tuns of ore a day through tlie |ii escnt main shaft. This plant includes four boileis, together ahout 225 horse power, a sitaigbl line Katld 4-drlll nit'compressor, half of a class (, Ingersoll Sergeant nil' com pressor rated Ht 10 drills, one huge and two small hoisting engines, two No. 5 Cameron sinking pumps, etc. An electric engiitamid dynamo have also been installed.

The company owns ion other miner al claims, tbe-11 forming 11 group adjoin iug the B, C. mine. During tbe past IWO months several men hive been employed in surface prospecting 011 these claims, on some of which ii Is thought valuable sllllles of ore also occur.

This is the first Instance "f any one taking the train for the west out of Midway. At a meuting of memlieis of the Greenwood CmiingOluh, held Monday evening, it proposal to endeavor to organize a joint stock association with the object of innking a good skating and curling rink in Greenwood, and erecting idl necessary huildings in connection with same, was submitted for consideration. Jas. Russell was in the chair and there was nn excellent attendance of curlers. After discussion it was decided to make a canvas of residents to ascertain whether or not a capital of $5,000 tii glO shares can la- raised locally for the purpose in view, and the following were appointed a committee to canvass for support aud to report at another nieeling to lie held almut u fortnight heme : J.

V... of Greenwood, has just returned from the ninth end of Christina lake, where he ran the boundary lines of Ihe timber limits on Wilbur creek, near where that stream flows into lhc lake. These limits have Is'en held fur several years by Rnl-prt Winid, of Greenwood,whn lately made an arrangement to transfer them to Barnard Lequime and a business associate. Tbey comprise some BOO acres of timl-cr lands, A lot of Due cedar and some white pine make these limits valuable, these timbers being in addition to Iir, yellow pine, and a little hemlock and yew. Thereare numbers of cedars thai will give from 10(10 to 8000 feel of excellent luinl-er, whilst a few contain even a larger quantity each. The white pine range up to four and live feet in diameter at the bull. A man named Sanders has a small shingle mill in the vicinity, Imt Le- qnime ft Co. propose putting in a larger one near the south end of the lake, and later, should conditions war rant the outlay, a ssw mill to cut cedar and pine lumber. Tliere is aroad with an easy grade Irom the lake al-ont two miles lo the Cascade City railway station. Rev. A. S. Thompson relurned on Friday from attending the semi-annual meeting of the Presbytery of Kootenay. which convened at Grand Forks last week. The meeting was largely attended as the territory included within lhe hounds of this Presbytery is very large, extending from Fernie nnd Michel nn the east to Camp McKinney and Fairview on the west. Considerable, business was transacted amongst which was the dealing wil. h the refusal of the Crow's Nesl. Coal Company to sell or lease a lot upon which to erect a place of worship. A resolution wi*passed reiniMtiirj the coinpaiiy to sell to the Presbyterian Church of Canada ai whatever price is adjudged lo be fair and reasonable, ■i suitable site on which to erect a liullding wherein to conduct public worship. It scarcely seems creditable ihnt the company will refuse lo grant I lie request when it is brought liefore, it iu this manner. ►»« Received—A nice assort■ini'tii of Robert son's and Ramsay's Chocolates mid Hun Horn, nt'l'huinus.lresh antl toohsonie.
