C, SEPTEMBER 16. 1904. $2 a Year In advance NO. 1. WESTBOUND EXPBESS STOPPED NEAR MISSION JUNCTION. The C.P.Ri west-bound transcontinental express, known as No. I was held up by three masked men last Saturday night, ut 6.30, a few miles west of Mission Junction. The train was lale and was travelling at rapid speed to make up time when engineer Scott was stir- prised by a masked man, who pointing a gun at him commanded him to stop tbe train. The engineer at the same time noticed two other armed men climbing into the cab from the tender. Seeing, resistance useless, he complied wilh lhe command and stopped the train. While one man remained on the locomotive lo guard lhe engineer, the other two lock the fireman and made him cut off Ihe mail and express car from other part of train. Conductor Ward noticing that Ihe train had stopped, looked out, but was promptly told to keep inside or be would be shot. Heat once saw that the train Was held up, and the btake.y was told to warn passengers to hide their valuables, while Ihe other brakeman was sent back to Mission Junction to notify the operator there to send word to Vancouver for assistance. As soon as the train bad been uncoupled lhe engineer was ordered to draw llic express car ahead a short distance. Then lie and the fireman were forced to get off the engine and accompany the robbers to express car under threat of blowing thc car up . with dynamite, when expressman Mitchell opened Ihe door and was promptly disarmed. From the express car the robbers secured a package containing $4,000 in gold dust, consigned to the U.S. Assay Office at Seattle, another package containing 62,000 in gold dust consigned to the bank of Hrilish North America at Vancouver, and about $1,000 in currency. They next visited lhe mail car and secured registered mail bags, contents of which arc at present unknown. Having secured thc booly lhe men retired into hush and slrtick oft in thc direction ol' Fraser river, their intention evidently being to cross It ,and make lor Ihe American side. . After thc robbers' departure the engineer ran back lo lhe main portion of the train and coupled up and proceeded lo Vancouver. A special 'rain was made up there, and a posse bf C.P.R:, city and provincial police lefl in pursuit ol lhe robbers. Passengers vVcro not molested and nunc ut' lho train crew were robbed of any personal effects, li is thought ihe robbers imagined lhat the clean up of Ihe Cariboo Consolidated Hydraulic Company would be on lhe train as they seethed surprised at the small amount of gold dual obtained. The train crew slate lhat the robbers did liiiie talking. Fieni the prompt manner it which they did their work, they think the uffair must have been carefully planned. Prospects are being converted into Shippers. High values are being obtained from Trial Shipments. The Lardeau is the most falkocl- Of Mining Country in B. C. ni glass at Poplar has been purchased outright, and the company operating there arc bent on business ol the right kind, last month's pay-roll at this mine was $1,2110. lt must be remembered lhat Poplar is but fifteen months old, and that lhe camp has had lo buck up against litigation, claim-jumpers, and an army of knockers. Poplar is alright, and two years hence will be a great city. Of other properties-and mines which have recently added fame to the Lardeau, and from whence local enterprise is about lo reap its reward, may be mentioned the Win- slow, a free-milling property located last fall which is yielding enormous gold values and improves wiiit development ; tho Silver Dollar, on which a fine lead.- of steel galena some 20 inches in width was uncovered a few day:; ago, and at which mine a ten-dliM compressor has been"inslailed ; the Mammoth, where rich ore is being sacked and the lead is improving with every shot ; the Jumbo and Union Jack, two wonderful concentrating proportions ; thc Rambler, a recent rass-root shipper; the Raven, a properly in which we have unbounded confidence ; the Tonawanda, Equitable, and Mountaineer, on which properlics we lately reported rich strikes; the Invincible, As you like it, Rosy P., Horn Silver King!, and Golden Kagle group Thcsl; and a few olhers arc being conjSinuqusly developed by local men. Td-jtlo justice to most of the last named properties capital is required, hut the outlook is exceedingly bright. Ferguson will become lhe most important mining town in the province, because we have the mine We are in for a prosperous time. Throughout the world there has been alistlesness in matters mining for the past year. Several reasons are given, lhe main cause being the prolongation of hostilities in the cast, and thc near approach of the U.S. Presidential elections. Again, rumors of a Dominion election fill the air, and this tends to keep capital dormant. Local enterprise has not been found wanting during the past few weeks, and syndicates have been formed for the purpose of obtaining leases and bonds on many excellent shippers. This is a very praiseworthy procedure, and capitalists will find in it an opportunity to watch smelter returns. Our unfair critics will also receive an answer to their assertion lhat we show a decided apathy to continue working at depth. Prospectors are not financiers, and locai enterprise is filling the gap to no small degree. Our large mines, chiefly the Silver Cup, Nettie L, Triune, Eva, Oyster Criterion, Goldfinch and Beatrice are being worked Vvi.h financial success. The lormer has now resumed all its old-time activity ; the tramway which was wrecked by the snowslide of early |. spring has been repaired, and is now running like clockwork ; the Silver Cup with recent development is showing up splendidly, and values at depth are increasing, The Nettie L and Silver Cup are yet in their in- lancy, but still the output tosmellcr for 1903 realized $1313,891.41, and the recent heavy shipments of bullion from lhe same company's mill derived from the treatment of low- grade base ores, will have reached high up six figures. With tho advent of capital, similar mills will be constructed, and the illimitable low- grade properties in the Lardeau will 11c yicklers, to the lasting benefit of lhe country. Success is bound lo come. A country such as ours will stand any test ; even lack of capital and troublesome litigation cannot prevent its progress. Better transports ion facilities tire promised us, and in the interval the primitive modes ol transport will go merrily on, Tl,*; Old Gold| shipping high-grade ore as last as a pack-train can bring it down, the Mohican is being mined by a large lorco of men, and shipments arc about to be made ; the company controlling'the Surprise group are I determined on pushing for a winter j campaign, and every available man 1 A rich six-loot lead of pay quartz will be employed; the Badshot i.i was encountered on the Nelson a i'.iliiiloii A Smart Pieco of Engineering to Supply Power for tho Silver Cup Mill. The scarcity 0!' rain this summer has been a serious matter for mills throughout the Kootenays, and in several instances lhe drought has necessitated the laying oil for a time a large number of men. The Silver Cup mill at Ferguson has had ils troubles in this respect, and the lack of water has been responsible for the mill not doing justice to itself and the management. This week a smart engineering feat has been attempted, and every available man from 5-Mile, Nettie L and Silver Cup mines has been put on lhe scheme. From the summit of Nettie L to the mill at the loot is a distance of a mile and a halt, and the course of the creek whieh flows due north past the Nettie L lower tunnel has been altered to a southwesterly direction, and brought down to the mill by a series of dams, Humes and ditches. As we go lo press we learn that although hardly completed, the scheme is an assured success. Some Prominent Canadian Pacific Officials in the Camp Last Saturday.

The lumber Industry throughout the Lardeau was never in a more flour- is],ing condition, it is to be deeply deplored that the line mill at Troul Luke should be in trouble, but that is a coincidence, and does not iu ihe least Indicate that thc country is in any way responsible, Wc have the men, tho mineral, and the timber right hero, and there is no better country under Ibe canopy of heaven lor tiie careful investor to cast his lot in wl'.'a.

Gold and Sil verBrieks A party of C.P.R. officials, consisting of Robert Kerr, passenger traffic manager, Montreal; VV. R. Mclnnes, freight traffic manager, Montreal ; F.

Thc party are investigating traffic conditions in the west, and have lately visited Nelson, Rossland, Revelstoke, etc., for the purpose of eceiving deputations an;! hearing their grievances. Immediately upon arrival here thc party were driven lo the Silver Clip mill at Ihe 5-mile point, where they were met by Mr. A. J. G. Swinney, he courteous manager ol lhe company, who piloted Ihe visitors through the various departments. 1'luv were shown tlie low grade ore which was being tilled into tiie 'ins by thc buckets as they retched this point from lhe Nettie L mine, and the various pro.:.- ses required tor the reduction, concentrating and chlorination were watched witli keen interest. Proceeding to the ground llooi* the party witnessed the prevails molten metal spurting like ivater from llic ejectors into p.ia- likins, and much favorable com- nent was forthcoming from '.he railway magnates.

Tho August clean-up at the Oyster-Criterion mill at 'Camborne owned by the Great Northern Mines Lid. resulted in a 86,500 brick. Mr, Barney Crilley recently informed us the main body ot ore now being worked is exceptionally rich in gold, and Mr. II. J. Baron, staff representative of the Mining Reporter, who visited tho mill and mine recently, remarked that the quantity of ore warranted thc installation ol 20 or 30 more stamps. About two dozen men arc employed at the mine under thc superintendence of A. 1'. Garrett, whilst the milling operations are in charge of A. G. Street. From the Silver Cup mill there were shipped last Saturday seven bars of gold and silver bullion to the Trail refinery, This was the result of a scratch clean-up.

The report that the C.l'.R. westbound transcontinental express had been held up came as a great surprise. We had schooled ourselves to believe that such an event was extremely unlikely. Canada holds a splendid record in this respect, as but one instance is known of a similar hold-up, that, oecti- being twenty-live yoars a��0 whon a passenger train running between Hamilton and Toronto wus boarded by bandit- who succeeded in getting away ���with 9100,000. It is passing strange that the west, which Is supposed to be muc i wilder, should compare so favor- with the east. Our mounted police are responsible in no small measure for tho clean sheet of the west, and thoir watchful eyes ever directed towards the International boundary lino ba; influenced for the common good by keeping the undesirable element on the other side. Train-robbing in Canada will never become a popular pastime with the thugs of America, as scant courtesy is extended them when run to earth. Their selection of .Mission junction which is but a few miles from the boundary line, and their modus operandi lead to the conclusion that thoy are old hands at the game. It is up to us to thank the Nelson Dally News for the consistent manner in whieh they stand by the Lardeau. Scarcely a day passes but that, tiie Says tho Daily Nows-Advertlser under ths heading " A Contemptible Action " : An opposition newspaper In tho Kootenay district recently resorted to a contemptible course with a view to prejudice Mr. Green, the Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works, with tho people In that part of the province. Using an Item that appeared In somo of the Coast newspapers that a Mr. Green (with different initials from those of the Chief Commissioner) was building a line residence In Vancouver, the newspaper in question quoted the item to the effect that Mr. R. P. Green was building himself an $8,000 residence In Victoria, winding up with a query aB to " where the money came Irom 'i" Those who know Mr. R. F. Green will feel only disgust at sueh 1 moro than One' newspaper has lost no timo in condemning such contemptible attempts to injure a political opponent and expressing their opinion of a journalist who would resort to them.

Scotty O'Neil is buck in town. The front gardens of Mrs. J. Kirkpatrick nnd Mrs. S. Shannon are uow bedecked with bloom, and tho taste displayed reflects the highest credit upon both ladies. Mrs. Anderson, late of tho Prospector's Exchange, Beaton, accompanied by Mrs. .T. Maillioxj wus visiting in town on Sunday. H. Sehofeeld; representing a Now Westminster aiffar manufactory, was bi town on Tuesday night creating a local connection. We would suggest that Pete Sennett has no rival in thc country handling tbe ribbons. Pete's finesse in takingj a four-horse team round corners at tbe double is littlo abort of remarkable. Sam Cavenaugrh is In town. The recent firearm episode at Trout Lake goes to prove that the old*timo' mode of argument stilbnas its adherents. Tho culprit was let down very lightly, and he must consider himself a fortunate man. A colored barber struck town Inst night, but finding no opening loft this morniug to operate at Circle City. Sum, Will and Ilubo Shannon arc doing development, work on the Sharon po Silver Cup slopo.

Tourists v, ill find the present time most opportune for sport among the bear, Prospectors .report thoir presence in largo numbers, and several local men havo been treed. The C.P.R. officials who visited us last Saturday bad ample illustration of the pressing need of a railway. During thei:-drive front Trout Lake to Ferguson, they passed over 50 pedestrians and horsemen. Messrs'. J- Cameron and C. H. .Little visited the Triune mine last Saturday. "Both now lay claim to the title of mountaineers. Developing work is proceeding briskly on tbe Mohican group. A, L. Houston has :i large force of men employed. A tunnel Is being driven some 000 feet which will tap tho main ore chute at from 260 to 350 feet. Mr. Houston believes the Mohican will prove one of the finest shippers in the country. The King Lumber Co's. Xo. 1 mill on Nlggor Doc crock, Cranbrook, was totally destroyed by .lire last Sunday morning, Thc mill h.xd a capacity per day of 50,000 feot, and. is valued about 825,000.

A salvation lassie plus the poke bonnet and tho belle of New York expression struck this benighted burg on Friday night. Old-timers looked on the fair damsel in tbo red sweater with amazement as she s-pi uug lightly from the stage. Dud Dubay fell through his overalls and Chummic Johnson sat down on tho oold oold ground. Jim Orahame gat a move towards tho summit, and Sandy Laughton put up the shutters. Dave Morgan's cayooso just looked and smiled. Charlis Little's terrier hid under tho sidewalk, and found a nail, The street was dosei- ted until tho fair figure had vanished. There was no big-drum-tamhourine arrangement forthcoming, aud it was gratifying to see that ra'amselle was shortly afterwards raking off from the boys towards a-rescue work scheme. With Revelstoko, Nelson, and one or two other points scrapping for the wholesale trade of tho Lardeau, we are wondering whero wo get ofT at. Our local tradesmen are somewhat surprised that tlie wholesalers who have this field to themselves do not expend even tbo fringe of tho rake-off with tlVe local advertising medium, Thc printer Is a jolly good fellow, and all that sort ot thing when he advises his readers lo patronize western enterprise. The wholesalers would have a very poor show woro it not for the press and its continued appeals to the loyalty of of the peoplo. The advertising patronage bestowed upon the Lardeau | apers in this respect would starve a mouse. 'Tis the simplest thing in tho world for a western journal to carry fyg fal ads. of eastern mail-order houses, but tho average western journals too loyal to local interests, and at tiie samo time a heavy loBer in many respects. Kelson and Revolstoke houses should tako note that the Kagle is loyal, and an ad. helps us to play tbe game straight At tbo criminal court held at Camborne on Thursday of last week, Join Madison, the Camborne barber, wa: tried for alleged burglary committee some weeks ago. Tho ovidenee was Insu-tticlent to warrant a conviction and Madison was discharged. Fred C BlHott, barrister, of Trout Lake, acted for tho defence. We understand that Madison is opening up a barber stand at tho Kva Hotel, Camborne. Inventors and manufacturers ure frequently puzzled to know just how to proceed to proteot their invention}., and much valuable timo is lost in acquiring information required. There is pro- ably no profession in which technical quOStlOHB are of such frequent occur* renco as in puteut soliciting, and tbere Is no Hold, of speculation In which greater care should be exercised beforo tleeiding upon a courso of action. A valuable invention, whon properly protected by Letters Patent, procured by (jualilled technical experts, means a fortune to its lucky owner, hut tbe samo invention putented by unskilful persons may be practically of no value because of failure to properly protect tlio essential features of novelty which aro of most value. Tho reason for patent monopoly; possibility of secret use of an invention: nature and policy of patents; time required to procure a patent nnd tlie course and treatment of an application in the patent office are Interestingly discussed in a recent publication issued by Messrs Marion & Marion, Patent Solicitors of Montreal, and called 1 The Inventor's Adviser." In addition to giving a summary of tho law and practice relating to patent matters, the book contains a large number of court decisions relating to patent law both in Canada, tbe United States-and other countries, and much interesting matter not to ho found elsewhere. Tho book is issued to answer questions of frequent occurrence relating to patents and inventions, and will be of great servico to manufacturers and inventors. The price of tho book is ono dollar, but we havo mado arrangements so that our subscribers will be supplied with copies at 25 cents each provided the/ name this paper when writing to Marion & Marion of Montreal for copies, i A stranger lately visiting 5-Mile noticed that the cockney dialect was rather provaleut iu tho camp there, and in conversation with a, resident of Ferguson tlio samo evening, the stran ger related of his visits to mills in other places, mentioning tlio Slates, Australia and England, bnt ho hinted that 5-Mile aud tbo latter placo wero synonymous.
