A resolution was passed asking thai the Kuolemiy-Yale-Cariboo federal electoral district be divided at once 01. the line of the Columbia river.and thai an election for a member of the Dnui inn parliament lie iiumediati ly held iu the new dislrict thereby ciealed wesi uf the Coliiniliia river.

Ous Peterson, superintendent of the Morrison mine, located in Deadwood camp, is in the city for a few days, says the Spokesman, and stated yester day that the Boundary country was never iu a more prosperous condition than at the present time. The Morrison mine has closed down for a short lime, (lending the taking up of lhe option on the property. The mine itself is looking well, The dia uioiiil drills have 1 tin into some line looking ore bodies, but their extent is as yet. unknown. Mr. Peterson said of the property: 'The Morrison mine hns immense ore bodies. The ledges are from fill In Sl) feet wide in places, and Ihere is any amount of ore. The average values of the ores will lie about $5 or $0 to the Ion, mostly in copper and gold. We have la-en working on the 300 foot level and have over 3,1X10 feet of development work done on'lie mine. As soon as lhe railroads reach Ihe camp we can ship 100 tons of ore per day, "It is rumored that either lhe Ureal Norlhern or the Canadian Pacitlc will run into the WestVork district next slimmer, and it is also stated thnt Ihe ('amidinn Pacific lias made a proposition to the government to that effect. "One thing thnt has made the camp advance Ihis reason is the great in crease in tonnage. The Graves com pany has increased the tonnage of thai group three or four fold, while the British Columbia Copper company has doubled its production. The Mother Lode, the Ironsides and the Sunset .people are actually quarrying out the nre and are mining it at a cost of almut. 50 cents per ton. The Sunset people have been opening up stopes and aie ready to supply the smeller with any amount of ore." FIRST PASSENGER TRAIN Will Valley Run Over the Kettle Lines on April g.

The Railway Combine Said tobe After a Dominion Charter. Montreal, March I.—Application has lieen made at Ottawa for a Dunlin ion charier for a company railed Ihe Northern Securities, with a nominal capital of $1,000,000. All of the incor porntors are members of tbe legal tirtu of McGibhon, Casgrain, Ryan k Mitchell. The company, however, is the same as the American concern organized by James J, Hill. The incorporation of Ihe company in Canada is regarded by the leading lawyers of Montreal as placing the merger beyond (he reach of a United 8tales court. The company will lie enabled to fulfill in every re»|«*ct Ihe purposes for whicli il was organized, and if so desired it Will be enabled lo offer its securities for sale on the exchanges In the same manner nnd with tbe same freedom now enjoyed by a score of couiniercial institutions coming under Canadian charters. To Avoid Damaging Disclosures- Charges Against Premier. Term* of Contract With Mackenzie A Mann Have Been Submitted to the House, but Oovernrnent Refuses to Disclose Some Important Documents Victoria, March 4.-Premier Duns* mulr made a s|-eech in lhe house today in reply to Capt. Tatlow, of Vancouver, in which he accused Tallow aid Garden of a desire to enter his cabinet, if they could have lieen re elected. Hv claimed that Martin wns not the dictator uf the government hut was une of Its supporters. The terms of the contract with Mc* K'-nzii and Mann were submitlid in the house today. They agree to huild a line ti oui Bute Inlet to Yellowheud Pass, commencing work liefore June, 1003, beginning at Bute, They are to deposit $50,000 security. The line is tn tie completed within live years. Ihe company is to get $4,(0(1 per mile for the Hrsl GO miles commencing at Bute inlet; from the end of the first. 50 miles to Quesnelle, about 150 miles, Ihey get $1,001) a mile and from Quesnelle 10 Yellowhead Pass they get $4,500 per mile, The mileage grant is payable at. tlie end of each 20 miles of railway '(instructed.

They will he installed at once, as the mill is all ready to receive them, and the miners who were laid off from drifting on the ledge, awaiting the new machinery, will lie put to work again in a few days. The lower tunnel on the Waucnnda is in about 1,100 feet and running ahead live feet per day. It is hoped to encounter another hig ledge before long. Uie indications lieing decidedly good, but it is not known if this will prove to he the main ledge on the property. The Klakamas tunnel, which approaches the extension of lhe big Wauconda vein from the west, is in almut 160 feet, and may have from 100 to 150 feet further lo run before tapping*! he vein.

Victoria, March 6.—The house is holding a night silling tonight, presumably at the instance of lhe governiuenl to prevent the opposition members from attending E. V. Bodwell's uieeting. Hon. R. McBride has a motion before ihe house asking the mivcrninent tn table forthwith alt telegrams and other data hearing on the alleged contract wilh Mackenzie k Mann, and Ihit will probably reach a vote as the government refuses to disclose the documents. Earlier in the daya motion was made hy McBride asking lhe government 10 issue a writ forthwith for the vacancy in North Victoria was defeated by a straight party, vote of 10 to 16. At tonight's session the opposition continued ils demands for telegrams hearing on lhe Canada Northern contract. R. G. Tatlow asked if Greenshields, who is pushing the scheme, was ihe same man who was described hy Col. Prior as making hundreds of thousands of dollars out of one of the most disgraceful railway deals in the history of Canada, naming the Drum- nioiid county deal, Tatlow tollowid this up with a charge against the premier that he had a side agreement wilh Mackenzie k Mann wheHiy lie sold his Coiuox and Cape Scotl charter. This ihe premier failed to deny. Mr. Dunsmuir finally moved lhat tin* house adjourn unt II Tuesday, and 1 his elicited a storm of protest from Ilie opposition, whn charge the government wilh inability lo meet the contention of lhe opposition and wilh adjourning lo avoid an exposure of the governnient. The government carried its point, however, .md the house adjourned, all the opposition ineiiiliers going to the theatre, wliere Bodwell was holding one of the biggest meetings in thc history nf the city. Here thc government's course was used wiih great effect by the speakers and the general feeling now is that Col. Prior's defeat is certain, and the government's fale is involved in that of Prior. r t .

The mineral production iu Canada for 1001 was $00,000,000, or about five million greater than for 1000, notwithstanding ilm decrease ill the gold output from lhe Yukon. The Vancouver Province has been called upon to answer for an alleged libel. The plain I ilT in Ihe case being •he Crows Nest Pass Coal company. The Province has heen neglected of late, this is the first, libel suit it has had on iis hands for several months. The Coast newspapers are greatly deploring the fact that the Nelson Tribune has gone off shift. While it is to be regretted that any individual should become fimiuci illy involved, there is no reason to make any great fins over having one le«s newspaper in Nelson. One daily paper is all that is reunited in Nelson, and the Miner is a better paper than the Tribune ever was, Tho forthcoming publication is an* tioiinced of a new Canadian journal, e.lited by Bertierd McKvoy, the well- known newspaperman, under the title, ''Chances in Canada." The principal field of publication for the new venture will be Great Britain and the United Stales, and its olij»ct wiil lie to advertise our Oanadiau advantages. It will he issued wilb the co operation of one of the foremost E iglisli publishing linns, and with the countenance and support of the Ontario Government. Chances iu Canada will lie a monthly journal of an attractive character, which will appeal to those classes in Great Britain, the United States and other countries from which desiia hie immigrants and investors may he drawn. An association for lhe protection of fish and game has been formed at Nel- boo, which is a move in the right direction for preventing the extermination of game, which is rapidly becoming searoer in the southern portion of Brit- 1-h Columbia. Und*r the present regulations, which are those of the Dom I 'lion government, it is not contrary to •Jj^-ii'y1' trout at any season of the mili, 'ncial game act not '-' ^j- ' -' fish, there- t-SJ |' ■ writ ten W I tiding hi ine uegisiaiure. The trouble ahout the seat of the leader of the Opposition arose in Ihis .way. The Government in the first instance refused lo decide who should have ihe particular seat, which by cus? torn and long usage has always been accorded to Ihe leader of the Opposi* lion. Some lime before the session on Monday began Mr. McBride's desk was placed in the position usually occupied by the leader of the Opposition. When he came in he found it so, nnd took the seat. Mr. Martin came along aud objected, but in place of referring I he matter to the House to decide, remained standing a little dislance hark of the seat. When prayer!, began and the members stood up Mr. Martin came forwaid, seized Mr. McBride's chair, pulled it back and stood in front of it. Immediately upon Ihe conclusion of prayers, and not before, I pushed my chair forward for Mr, McBride to occupy—an acl of courtesy which I had a right to do. Thereupon Mr. Martin threw himself against my chair and against me, endeavoring to puafr the chair and myself hack, whereupon I resisted and started lo push Mr. Martin and his chair over, when a number of'the other members' look part in a general scramble over the; possession of the chkir.1 There Were two acts of aggression nn Mr. Martin's part liefore I Interfered with him ; first, in his seizing and. pulling away Mr. McBride's chair ; and secondly, in his thrusting himself wiih great fone against my chair and myself. In addition to tny undoubted right, to resist force witb force, it had heen made quite apparent that the Government was utterly helpless, as it luu) not dared to decide the matter at the proper lime; and it was therefore a case of every man heing a law unto himself and protecting his rights as hest he could. There was no al tempt made by any member to hit or injure any olher member. So far as I know there was no real anger sho\vn hy any one—on my part there -vas none, but I was fully determined not to allow bulldozing to prevail, as it would likely lead to other ful ure attempts of it from the same source. Smith Curtis. Victoria, B. C, Feb. 28,1002. > a< It is only a question of a short time until that portion of the Coast-Kootenay ; Railway from Curlew to Midway will be constructed. This line wquld be now being built, but for the scarcity of. laborers.

The association will also ask thn Attorney-General to Introduce a bill to amend the provincial game act Chang Ing it so as to bring these fish named under tlie act and to add a clause to prohibit the sale or exposure for sale of trout at any time, and to provide a penalty fnr the offences. The assocla tion is called the Kootenay Fish and Game Protective Association, and ils Intention is procure the organisation nf similar associations at other points in l he district. Nelson is deserving of greal. credit for taking Ihe ini'iative in endeavoring to have the present laws pertaining to game amended so as lo prevent the streams which no* abound with trout and nther kinds of fish being lishad nut, and the association should receive every assistance to carry out its good work from the pro vincial and Doniinion governments, as well as other associations heing formed to work in conjunction wilh it. We have evidence nf the necessity of such legislation as proposed by the association here in-the Boundary country, where trout are caught nt any time of the year that those who enjoy angling find it convenient to catch them. Not. only would this evil he remedied hy the proposed legislation, but the offering of trout for sale would also lie prevented, and this would, perhaps, lie of more real benefit in protecting the fish than the observance of a close season, for during the months not included in Ihis portion of the year, Imt comiiara lively few llsli are caught, and although these lew are caught at an unfavorable time, yet the greatest draw- lia-k lo increasing the number of fish in the streams in this portion of the piovince is Ilie large number of able bodied men who devote Ihe whole summer season tn catching lish and offering them for sale, There are many men who make a regular bus! ness of tliis sort of thing ; they have certain places lo supply with their catch, and by this means gain a livelihood. But if ihe required amendments he made lo Ihe present laws as requested by the. association, and the laws strictly enforced, the si reams of British Oolumhla will continue lo teem with I rout, where ru the other hand, if no sleps were taken tn change the present regulations, in a very short time there would lie a noticeable reduction in the large stmii of fish for which the streams of ihis province are fn moils.

As the snow lias f-one from Ihe lower hill-sides an exchange from sleighs to wagons is necessary at present, hut later the haul will lie on wheels all the way from the mine to the railway, The Jewel has a large quantity of ore hlocked out on several levels down to the 341-foot level, and is opening up mora from the second shaft, known as Howe's shaft. The death is announced of J. H Illume, photographer, wbo was well known in Ihe Boundary country, having for a numher of years visited the different towns, where lie would tak photographic views, and his familiar face will lie greatly missed. Speaking of his death the (irand Forks Gazette "J. II. Illouie, the photographer, died at the residence of M. H. Burns,' in the North Addition, on Monday alteitiiHin, death lieing caused hy a complication of diseases. The deceased was 47 years ol age and was well known here, having been iu the photograph business here for the past three or four years, He was well liked and respected liy l hose who made his acquaintance, and his demise will lie deeply regretted. Mr. Illouie came hetc from California, hut nothing i* known as to his antecedents, Shortly More he died he was asked if he had any word to leave for his relatives aud replied th.it he had not a relative in the world lhat he knew of. He mad- a will More he died, leaving his real estate and olher property to friends. Work was commenced last Monday nn the new piece of road lieing built lietween here and Ingrim's to avoid the steep grades of the old wagon road. This is a much needed improve ment, and when completed will admit of much heavier loads being buuled than could formerly he brought over the old road. It is generally the cast- when any work is done on the roads in this district the men employed to do the work are brought from elsewhere, and the present work Is no exception, for all the men employed to build this piece of road wete brought here by road foreman Finley, with the exception of thiee, who arc from Midway. There is no excuse for importing labor io carry on any governnient. work around Midway, as there are plenty of good wen In tho lown who aro only too anxious to receive employment, hut when they asked Mr. Finley for work were informed that he had all the men he required. The government should not put nien in charge of work who employ men outside of the district where tho work is lieing done. Of course there may be au excuse for giving employment to a few outsiders who may Iw thoroughly familiar with road and bridge construction and can render more efficient service than those unacquainted wilh such work. hutto have the majority of lbe laborers brought from other places, it W decidedly unjust to Ibe workingnien of the district where the wurk is goi.W -vvnun,,, VI1L Cllll l.l_-|-iv_-e mmm__m--__m_-___________m_m_________ammtm The tonnage of ore shipped by the mines of the Boundary I-'strict during 1901, is asunder: TONS Old Ironsides and Knob Hill group 231,762 Mother Lode 99,548 !)■ C 47.5*7 Sunset , goo ., Winnipeg ,,040 King Solomon 850 Snowshoe 1,731 No. 7 665 Jewtl 325 Sundry small shipments 2,500 Total 386,738 Shipments during 1900 totalled 97,837 tons, and during the year 1901, to December 31st, 386,738 tons, making an aggregate of 484,575 tons.

The. tiii-lnlliirgy of gold wiih not. regarded as n very complex ni-t 25 yenrs ag i, nor win it very generally considered thai there wort many possibilities of improvement and changes in it. Gold hearing ores at lhat lime were olnssifled ns heing eil her ores the gold iu wliieh was principally recovei-uhle by amalgamation, or ores the gold in which would nut amalgamate. The former made gond mines, the latter made very bail mines. Thai was about nil there wis to it. When the ore in a mine changed in character to that the gold was no longer ainnlgaiiialahle the mine was no longer any account. The really goml miner of iliose simple mining days was the one who knew enough lo quit a mine after Ihe ore turned bane, before lie put back into the mine, iu the effort lo amalgamate gold that would not amnlgaiiiate, the profit that he had gained from ores the gold of which did amalgamate. The chlorination process and a trifling amount of smelling were the only openings onto ollu-r lines of ore. treatment, and they were quite limited in application. Smelting was associated wilh costly and complex manipulation and wns really only suited lo silver ores carrying a great deal of lead. Chlorination had a limited application to conceiitrulHS from certain ores which lirst gave up most of their gold to amalgamation. Concentration of tailings was considered dilHrult and uncertain, uud a report on a gold mine lo tlm clfi-cl that the tailings hud lo he concern rated and chlorinated was enough lo discourage its exploitation. Ali this is ji resume of history familiar enough, when recalled', lo thu older gold miners, but to some extent at least, news to thu younger element who have been nursed into a master- ship of the art ou the cyanide process, ijonce.nl nit ion and matte smelting. Quite unconsciously, yet naturally, the beginnings of an art are apt to he considered our beginnings iu it, aud advances in thc art are apt to be unconsciously regarded as being nnly the advances we ourselves made* The total of advancing changes in gold metallurgy is an exceedingly great, one when Ihe beginning stage and tlie present condition an- contrasted. Looking nt tlie intervening stages it becomes comprehensible thai the inesent coiulillon is itself a stage or step from wlilllh still olher advances are to lie inaile. The end of what can bo done is not yel. Much successive discovery thai, cheapens the cost of recovery of gold fiom ores adds in a geometrical rutin a new muss of oris from which recovery run be made,' It cannot be alliriueil i hut, the limit of |jhiapncsK has been attained, The cyanide process when first applied commercially claimed to lie. the end, yet the cyanide process as now applied is cheaper. Also there is now a snhsti tute for the cyanide process, cliloro hromiiratinn, which i*i claimed still cheaper at both points, percentage of gold recovery nnd cost of treatuient.1 It may be possible thai it may not today be all lhat is claimed for it, but it cannot be affirmed lhat it will not I*) tomorrow. Concentration, when the Hrsl I ravelling bplt machine was invented, was claimed to be at the summit, of possible perfection. The safne claim for that, machine today would he considered a jest. It would he an iinwar- anted assumption to consider that today's hest concentrating machines would not live years from now be cabinet curiosities. There is no reason why a worker, skilled in the art of gold metallurgy, should consider bis Junction merely directory of what it is, in the practice of it. Many workers will not need this suggestion. All the workers should comprehend their wider function. They must feel thai, they can gain from what is now unknown something that will lie both new and valuable lo the practice of the all. Belief in the ability lo do this is the longest of tlie steps towards doing something. Because progress must now he measured in tents where a few years since it was measured in dollars does not make the value of the gains less to tlie industry, for its Held is many limes wider now than when the dollars of advance wore made, and cents saved or gained are as large a per cent of totals us dollars once wer». The reward to the doer from I he mai gin of i he eeni s of ad vance made now ia also more than came tn Ihe doer from the dollars of gain he made. With the chlorr.broinnralion process of gold recovery amalgamation is not employed, the tri-al ment being made immediately afler stamping or after concentration. The uml hod is claimed to give a high percentage of gold recovery, particularly from auriferous mlspickel. It is being promoted ns a rivid to the cyanide process and claims lower cosl a of treatment as well as higher percentages of recovery.—Milling and Scientific Press. Will Produce Steel Ralls.
