FATAL POWDER EXPLOSION William Price Uses His Life While Thawing Powder. HORRIBLY MANGLED AND DISMEMBERED The Body was Hurled 80 Feet���An Arm and U| Torn Out���Part ol Head Blown ON ���Remains Buried Following Day. It's the old, old story. William Price, who has heen employed here for Borne time on the Cascade Water Power and Light Co's. works, met with instantaneous death Tuesday afternoon last, about 2.30 o'clock, while thawing out blasting powder by an open fire. His head with the exception of the back part of the skull was torn off by the force of the explosion, and one arm and one leg were wrenched from the body which was otherwise horribly mangled, and thrown 50 feet from the place of the accident. ��� The accident occurred ov the rock work in the open cut leading from the dam to the proposed tunnel under the railway track near the bridge. The remains were gathered up and brought to town and placed in a coffin at the Cosmopolitan hotel, from where they were interred, .(tie following day. The deceased was said to be 28 years of age and a native of Manchester, England. He had no known relatives. He came over from England in the charge of the Dr. Bernardo Orphanage Home, and was at one time a resident of Belleville, Ont. On coming to this coast, he was in Spokane for a time, being a member of the Salvation army. Mr. S. F. Quinlivan, the contractor in whose employ the unfortunate man was at the time of his death, says the deceased was familiar with the handling of dangerous explosives, having been iu his employ for a year or two in railway construction work. Mr .Quinlivan says this is the first accident of this kind to a man in his employ during his fifteen years experience in rock work. The remains were interred Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Jos. McCoy conducting the funeral services. Mr. Quinlivan laid off his men during the day that they might attend the obsequies. Fire In Buffalo Hump Camp. Tbe Buffalo Hump Syndicate suffered the loss by fire of its bunk house and store house Feb. 1st. Tht lois is estimated at 115,000. The syndicate had a saw mill and a 10 stamp quartz mill stored in the houses that were destroyed, besides other machinery, tools and supplies, and 200 pounds of giant powder, which exploded with a terrific report. The fire was caused by a defective stove setting fire; to the door. The loss is quite serious, occurring at this time of the year, as it is almost impossible to get supplies in, and it was the intention to set up and operate both mills this winter. Maurice O'Connor, Whiskey and a Qua. Last Saturday, at Grand Forks, Maurice O'Connor, with a stomach loaded with fighting whiskey and a >un well filled with bullets, started in to clean out the Windsor hotel. At the end of a protracted spree, O'Connor, who is one of the legion of chronic .drunks peculiar to our boasted Christian civilization, locked himself in a room of the hotel, his bedclothing took fire, his sister went to his relief, fleeing when he attacked her; a brother appeared on the scene and was shot three times; then came the police, who found O'Goiino/s 'Galling coughing up lead at a dangerous rate and range. They turned their hatterjss loose, shot the stairway hall full of holes, and accepted O'Connor's surrender after bib ammunition had been exhausted. .The Nelson Tribune says that Maurice O'Connor, who shot hiB brother at Grand Forks recently, is known to the Nelson authorities. On June 15,1896, he was tried here for using an axe on the head of a man named Langton with serious results. O'Connor was acquitted on the plea of insanity, but was confined in the criminal ward of the asylum at New Westminster for a year and a half. He was afterward* sued here by his counsil to recover 9800 for fees and costs incurred in the trial. Northern forces here from 1861 to Chicamauga in 1863. Also, why in the name of goodness don't our own generals get the niggers whipped in the Philippines? It teems about time the war in the Philippines was finished. You need not worry about the Briton in South Africa; he will do his best, and you cannot do more. If you want the Boers to whip the British, say so in your next issue; then we will know your colors. Ephram Rigg. Germantown, Phila., Jan. 29," STRIKE IN BURNT BASIN. On the question of incorporating the town, the citizens of Republic will have an opportunity to express their sentiments at the polls on May 8th next. They have plenty of time to soberly consider the matter* , Not Polite but Painted. The following letter which appeared in the Philadelphia Record, is more forcible than polite: "Editor Record: "Pardon me for saying that you make a h���1 of a racket about the British losses in South Africa, and allow me to ask: Is the Record a Boer or a British paper, or a mugwump ? You fellows forget the disasters that happened to our WAR NEWS STILL fiLOOMY The Boers Holding the British At Bay All Along the Line. IS CECIL RHODES A BOER PRISONER t Large Body ol Pay Ore Found In a Claim There. A strike is reported in the Burnt Basin on a group of properties owned by Messrs. Bellgrove, Montgomery, Beller and others. These properties have been operated all winter. On the North Basin claim a shaft was sunk on the croppings of a large lead to the depth of 40 feet. At this depth a crosscut was made from wall to wall. Next to the footwall there is a body of almost solid galena, four feet wide, the clean ore assaying 37 ounces in silver and 61 per cent lead, Then there is 20 feet of mixed ore, composed of iron, galena, copper and1 gold. Between this and the hanging wall there is a two-foot streak of gold bearing quartz. Average samples from across the 22 feet were taken. There was 140 puonds in the lot, and it was sent to Trail for a smelter test, and the returns gave $21.50 in all values. There ie on the dump about 30 tons of a good grade of ore, and the owners are now preparing a trail with the view of rawhiding out. a carload, to be sent to the Trail smelter for a thorough test. If this is done they will he the first party to have shipped ore from the Burnt Basin, although there have been others long before now in a position to do likewise if they had felt that way inclined. There is a standing offer of two town lots in the. townsite of Gladstone to he given to the mine owner who ships the first carload of ore, so in all liklihood they will be the lucky individuals.���Uossland Miner. First Train Through Bulldog Tunnel. The first train was run through Bulldog tunnel last Monday. The completion of the tunnel has shortened tbe running time about one hour and the passenger train from the east now arrives here st 1:05, and from the west at 4:52. This will give the Kootenay people one more hour's time in the Boundary towns, when desirous of making the round trip in-one dey. The Amount el the Jameson Raid Indemnity to be Doubled and SIOMfcOM win he Demanded for Rhodes' Release. The war news ie anything but pleasant yet. The Boers still hold the British forces at bay at Colesberg, Rensburg and Colenso. The- British army has a 25-mile frontal line in the form of a horseshoe. The total British casualty return* at London, up to Feb. 14, are: Officers killed, 152; wounded, 380j missing 112; men killed, 1,477; wounded, 5,050; missing, 2,781. Other fatalities reported, 563. The dispatches of Feb. 15, report that Gen. French had captured five Boer camps. The Boer General Delarey telle ��� correspondent of the London Newt that they have an army of 120,000 able bodied soldiers in the field. , Three Canadian volunteers slept while on guard. Being court- martialed, one was admonished, the second reprimanded and the) third got 80 days. The latter will probably not sleep on duty again. The friends of Mr. Cecil Rhodes are becoming alarmed at his possible fate, and have sent an emissary to see Dr. Leyds, the diplomatic agent of the Boers in Europe, in regard to the probable course the Boers would pursue in the event of his capture. Dr. Leyds Said the Boers did not intend to kill Mr. Rhodes, but they would certainly hold him as a hostage until the indemnity for the Jameson' raid should be paid. In view of the development since tbe raid, -tbe Boers have decided to double the amounfnf the indemnity demanded, so that Mr. Rhodes' friends would have to hand over $10,000,.- 000 before he would lie released.. The Globe correspondent at Belmont, South Africa, announces the death of Private J. C. Purcell of B company, of London, Ont., at the Orange River hospital. Over 200 American soldiers have been returned from the Philippines in a demented condition, and placed in the federal asylum for insane in the District of Columbia.

The question us to when the twentieth century begins is being discussed with great vigor at the present time. We do not think there can he any doubt as to the correct solution of the problem, however. The twentieth century will undoubtedly begin on Jan. 1st, 1901. If an aged man were to be asked his age, and were to reply that he was in his hundredth year, he would certainly mean that he had lived ninety-nine years and p;irt of another year, but that he had not completed one hundred years of life. The second century of his life would therefore commence with his one hundred and first year, the one hundredth year being the laBt year of his first century. It takes 100 years to make a century, and 1900 years to make 19 centuries. Only 1899 years have passed by since the Christian era began. We are, therefore, now in the last year of the 1900 years necessary to make up 19 centuries. When this year ends the 19 centuries will be complete, and we shall enter upon the twentieth century. It is interesting to know that this is not a new problem. It was discussed with vigor in A. D. 1599, A. D. 1699, A. D. 1799, and it is probable that it will be discussed in 1999, when those who are discussing it now will all be in their graves. The following editorial, -which appeared in the London Times on Dec. 26th, 1799, will be read with interest: "We have uniformly rejected all letters and have declined all discussion upon the question of when the present century ends, as it is one of the most absurd that can engage the public attention, and we are astonished to find it has been the subject of bo much dispute, since it appears to be perfectly plain. The present century will not terminate till Jan. let, 1801, unless it can be made out that 99 are 100. Eighteen centuries are 1800 years, then how can 18 centuries be completed till 1800 years have expired ? What is the meaning of a century but a clear, distinct series of 100 years ? How pan 100 be completed by 99? Some persons assert that the first year of the present era stands for nothing. At ilvis rate, indeed, they will prove the present century to end with this month, but we know not how they will prove such ii fact. We see no pretext for the assertion. Every century begins with 1, and the next century will begin on January 1, 1801. One correspondent, 'G, B.,' puts a case: 'Suppose, says he, a person wus born on January 1, 1700, and was alive January 1, 1800, would he not have lived a century ?' No; he would not have lived a century of the Christian^ era, although be would have liv��ad 100 years. He would have lived one year in the last and 99 in the present century. We shall not pursue this question further, nor should we now have said so much upon it hid not several applications been made for our opinion. It is a silly, Hiildish discussion, and only exposes the want of brains of those who maintain a contrary opinion to those we have stated, in which we are supported by the first authorities in the country to whom wagers have been referred." labor strike, in which 7000a:tisiins me involved. WHY NOT LOCATE HERE? SCHOOL SYSTEM REFORMATION. With reference to the recent action of the provincial legislature relative to school matters, the Nelson Tribune says a bill has. been introduced in the legislature to this end. The object of the measure is to relieve the government to a certain extent from the responsibility of furnishing the children of incorporated cities with a common school education. The bill makes three classifications of the cities of the province���first, second, third��� based upon their school attendance and upon the cities taking over and defraying the cost of the school the government pays a per capita allowance upon the average school attendance. In the case of first- class cities the government per capita is $10, second-class $15, and third-claps $20. All the cities of the interior are rated as third- class, so that they will be entitled to receive from the government a per capita grant of $20 per annum upon their actual school attendance. The cities will also receive the school lands and buildings, at present held by the Crown, within their limits. Viewed as a commencement in the remodelling of the educational system, the present measure cannot fail to give satisfaction. It may be accepted as the inauguration of a system which will eventually relieve the province altogether in the matter of providing a common school education for the children of incorporated cities. A big strike is reported from Chi cago, not, however, of the nature of the "big strikes" so familiar to readers of mining camp newspapers in this section of country. It is a While the proposition on the I ait of the Jenckes Machine conij any, of Sherbrooke, to establish a branch in the Boundary country is being mooted, we would call the attention of the company to the fact that Cascade has superior advantages for the location of its branch works. It is central; it u I ready has the requisite transportation facilities, and will have more and better in due time, while motive power will be abundant and cheap. The Record invites not only the Jenckes company to investigate Cascade's inducements, but all parties proposing to engage in the manufacting business in this part of the province. Down in the states all of the numerous political parties are marshaling their forces for the coming presidential contest. The battle will he fought to a finish, and to say that it will be fast snd furious would be putting it mild. Marcus Auielius Hanna, the great American despot,will lead the Republican forces on the one side and Willian, Jennings Bryan those of the Dtn.- .ocrat cohorts on the oilier. The Populists and Silver Republicans will swing in the chin:rigging of both sides until they sight land. In Calcutta, at a meeting in the city ball, it is reported that over $20,000, or 63,000 rupees, were subscribed for the Mansion House fund, the Hindus and Mohammedans alike being enthusiastically patriotic. Private Lindsay, son of James Lindsay, of Bracondale, Ont., was killed near Ladysmith, Januray 6th. The victim belonged at the time to the First Manchester now at Ladysmith. Contractor Stewart has been gathering machinery and imple--, merits this week at Greenwood and Bulldog tunnel and shipping them to Balfour and Nelson, lo be used on the contract work between (hose two places.

IS February 17, 1900 THE CASCADE RECORD *1 WANT ANOTHER RAILROAD. ������All the Traffic Will Bear" a Railway Policy Which Kllli the Qoldeo-En Bird. Without saying Grand Forks has or has not superior natural advant- iigeb, we are compelled to admit that whatever the city lacks in that direction, is made up in the push and enterprise of its citizens. Grand Forks sees the need of better, more extended and liberal transportation facilities. It is a well-known fact that railway accommodations under control of individual greed or private ownership, where the leveling influences of competition are wanting, are a delusion and a snare. Their graft is as the bite of a serpent and the sting of an adder. Hence, Grand Porks, realizing herself in the meshes of railway kings who enjoy a monopoly graft at her expense, is casting about for relief, and her promoters are actively engaged in working out a salvation from the the fate that awaits all i.on-competitive towns on railway lines whose insatiable maws are like unto a maelstrom. There is a proposition on foot to construct a railway line from the Columbia river either at Northport or Meyers Falls up the Kettle river via Cascade, Grand Forks and Republic and on south to a point on the Washington Central railway, at Wilbur or Davenport. Such a railroad would benefit a large stretch of new country, while prov ing a relief from the merciless exactions of a government-pampered monopoly. The road will be built if the government will give its consent in the form of a franchise to that portion traversing Canadian territory. No subsidy from the government is asked. The permit will he granted if the government has more regard for its constituent!* at large than for the powerful political force known as the C.P.R. Grand Forks���we admire her spunk and activity, her get-there- Eli disposition���is determined to leave no stone unturned to secure the advantages that will accrue from the building of the road for which a franchise is asked. At their own expense they have sent a commission to Ottawa to forward the movement. It is to be hoped the commission will be successful and that the road will be built. Its construction would open up much rich mineral and agricultural land tributary to Cascade. THE PLACER MINIO. ACf To be Subilltued by An Act Enabllnf Aliens to Take Out Free Miners' Certificates. February 8th, in the legislature at Victoria, an amendment to the placer mining act was submitted by Henderson, which not only permits aliens to acquire mining property by purchase, but by altogether repealing the act of the last session it makes them eligible to as before take out free miners' certificates, and stake and hold property. SLOCAN MININO FLOAT. From the Ledge. Last week's ore shipment totaled up 351 tons. The Wakefied tramway ha�� been completed. Ninety-tine men are now employed at the Payne. On the Rambler the force has been increased to 45 men. A 75-foot tunnel has been started on the Lone Jack claim. The Neepawa, Ten Mile, has a small force of men working. Ore shipments on the Payne have risen to 40 tons per day. The American Boy made another shipment Inst week of 21 tons. Ore shipments from the Slocan during January amounted to 1218 tons. Plans have been drawn up for a 100-ton concentrator for the Ivan- hoe. The Emily Edith has shipped a car of ore, the first Four Mile property to chip this year. The Payne is gradually increasing its shipments, 330 tons having been Bent out last week. There are 14 men working at the Enterprise and some life is now apparent in tbe Ten Mile camp. Forty tons of ore were shipped by the Rambler last week, bringing the total for the month up to 232 tons. The Get There Eli group, on Twelve Mile creek, has been stocked. Work will commence at once on the property under the direction of C. W. Harrington. The Donrielley group of five claims, clone to Sandon, has been bonded to Major Hackett, on he- half of eastern parties for $25,000. Two tunnels will he driven and 12 men employed. PUTTING IN MACHINERY. Wankegan Company Will Operate on a Big Scale. The Bossburg Journal says the Waukegan and Washington Mining and Smelting company are going to rush operations on their property on Sulphide mountain. The company has ordered a compressor plant with Burleigh drills and steam hoist, which will he in Bossburg iu a few days. Jas. Mof- fett and A. E. Stripe, of the company, who were in town Tuesday, say that the plant is an extensive one. This is the company which owns the Etn-ter Sunday, and it has erected about 15 buildings on the property, which will accommodate a large force. The properties here referred to are o.ily about six miles from Cascade. The Dominion parliament will vote two million dollars for the benefit of Canadian soldiers. P.

Simmons, of Cascade, who was in Grand Forks lust Friday and Saturday, says the natural advantages of this place appear to be superior to those of the Forks. Geo. McKugo, who went from here with the Stratbcona Hon*, was the shortest man among those who were sworn in at Nelson, his height being 65 inches. T. H. A. Williams of Kaslo was the tallest, 75 inches Rev. J. R. Robertson, pastor of the Presbyterian society at Grand Forks, preached two interesting and instructive sermons here last Sunday, in exchange with Rev Jos. McCoy, who occupied Mr. Robertson's pulpit.

Patrick O'Hearn and George Barrett, tbe men arrested on Friday of last week on the charge of stealing whiskey and cigars from the Montana house bar, pleaded guilty before Justice Rochussen on Saturday afternoon, and were sentenced to serve six months at hard labor and to pay a fine of $50 each, in default of which payments, to serve an additional six months. Officer Darraugh took the prisoners to Kamloops on Monday, where they began their philanthropic labors at once. The rapidity and thoroughness of Justice Kochussen's court machinery is noted for the dexterity with which it can change thieving vagrants into sober and industrious workers. Owing to exorbitant railway freight charges between Hamilton and Toronto, the business men of the two cities have engaged about fifty teams to haul freight on the Queen's highway. The scheme is proving a success, but it is a sad commentary on railway management, after all that the government has done for railway promo tion in Canada. In this connection let us adviBe that Cascade and Grand Forks do all they can to put the Bossburg and Marcus wagon roads in good condition for hauling. A H0RSB FALLS FIFTY FEET Over the Dam Into the Water Below and Swims Ashore. One day this week a horse attached to a heavy dump cart, being engaged in hauling rock with which to anchor the piers of the big dam being constructed by the Cascade Water Power and Light company, backed off the tramway, falling a distance of between 50 and 60 feet into the raging waters below. The force of the fall broke the shafts of the cart which liberated the horse, who, finding himself free, struck out for the bank of the river, after having floated down stream a short distance. Being unable to land on that side, he swam across the stream to the other side where he was assisted to terra firma. To the amazement of all who witnessed the peiilous feat, the animal showed no sign of serious injury, and to-day is performing his usual duties. The cart sank and has not been recovered. A gang of bridge carpenters have been engaged this week on repair work to the upper railway bridge. Church Service Divine service will be conducted by Rev. Joseph McCoy, H.

W. Molland has been awarded the contract for hauling out the machinery and supplies to tbe Waukegun camp on Sulphide mountain. It is understood that Bruce White and associates intend to put in a cable tramway to span the Columbia river at this point, for the transfer of the ore from the First Thought. Great Northern surveyors were running lines through Bossburg this week. It is rumored that an electric road will he constructed from this place to Cascade. The power is to be furnished by the Cascade Water Power and Light Company. Jack Hanley, who made a dividend-payer out of tbe Bonanza, having disposed of his interest has resigned as superintendent of the mine. Mr. Hanley will give bis attention to his mining interests in the Pierre Lake district and the Republic Camp. James Breen has sold his quarter interest in the Northport smelter to the British America Corporation. The new manager to succeed Mr. Breen is A. W. Hudson. He is on the ground and has taken full charge. The smelter starts full blast Wednesday, and it is supposed will run continuously from that time, only closing one blast at a time when necessary to repair. The price paid Mr. Breen is not known. The Myrtle property is attracting considerable attention of late, owing to the similarity of the ore to the richest of ore from the Firi-t Thought and Republic mines. No assay returns from tlie latest strike in the Myrtle have been received but as fair assays in gold have been obtained all the way from the surface to the present level, something better than ordinary values are expected. Pea & Collins, the contractors and part owners, are making good headway, the shaft being now down over 125 feet.
