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

Kennedy will shortly iraffsfcr his

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.

sent to the smellers ill quantity frnm
Boundary mines, the It. 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

WATERLOO CHANGES HANDS

The news was received from Patrick
Graham, lawyer anil official ageiil of

lu bis Idler. Mr, Graham says ihnt
he is unalile lo ascertain upon what
ui "inui Bennett, has jno pid lhe claim,

Graham ndils that the mining 11-coiilir
jii Camp McKinney "advises me In
advise you in have the ground crown
granted at once."
The news that the claim Intel been
jumped wss a great suipiise lu the
officials of lhe company In Spokane,
inasmuch as I here is fully $16,000 wm th

mill. The mine h is been developed to
tbe depth of 150 feet.
Several months ago theold Waterloo company sold out to the Wai, Hon
Consolidated Company, hut neglected
to make a deed until ufler the old
mining company's license in British
Colunihia had expired, after which its
title to thu claim lapsed. The new
company, to protect ils interest,
jumped tbe claim iu its own behalf.
There has been considerable litigation
over the mine.

Manitoba and the Territories.   All the
nlher resources of this great Dominion
have been forgotten.   They marvel at
the productiveness of the prairies and
are blind tn all else.   They wire that

the rieh mineral wealth nf (his Prov

them, a country of marvelous wealth
They will l*e able lo give a description

At a meuting of memlieis of the

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,

0. _B. Shaw, 0. 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.
