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.

The following letter which appeared in the Philadelphia Record,
is more forcible than polite:

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,

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,.-

BEGINNING OP THE CENTURY  PROBLEM.
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."

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.

������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.

MAGNIFICENT WATER POWER!
Y)ow under development. Look at the immense
���yfc dam, 400 feet long and 50 feet high, now under construction. The flume and tunnel to convey the water will be
16 feet wide, 13 feet deep and 1000 feet long. The water
will be conveyed from the mouth of the tunnel to the water-
wheels, through two iron pipes, each 8}4 feet in diameter and
2000 feet long, with a perpendicular fall of 156 feet.
Excavation for a power-house is now in progress near
the wagon road bridge, and the excavation alone will cost $10,-
000. Development of this power is now under construction
and will be prosecuted as rapidly as possible. A 10,000
horse power will be obtained, which will be used in developing electrical power to be transmitted to all the mines in the
Boundary and Christina Lake Districts.
Estimated cost of plant, complete, is $500,000.

MESSRS. 0'HEARN AND BARRETT
Will be Employed Oae Year on Government
Works at Kamloops.
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.

ECHOES FROM BOSSBURO.
The Journal.
��� . i ]
J. 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. The force
consists of four men;
