Hamilton, who was ill at New Westminister, has returned to Winnipeg. The B. C. Syndicate, as will be noted elsewhere, have started a new branch store,.thje,-.time at 54jn,tcn, on the lake. Mr. W. H. DJehrowe is in charge. This makes four stores run by this enterprising company. The B. C. Tobacco Co., Messrs- Watson, Kennedy & Cameron, proprietors, opened up this week on First Avenue. They will carry* $7000 stock, and eell at wholesale and retail. A branch will be opened in Greenwood in the near future. The boys are hustlers amd will doubtless do a good business.

He had placed two fuses in the hole, as is the custom, in case one is bad. As the fatality proved one was a poor fuse���very poor ; for when it was lit, and before the other was touched, it exploded the blast, the top of Hanson's head being blown off. John Nelson was also working about 25 feet from where the accident occurred, but most fortunately he escaped with a few scratches. Constable Dinsmore, of Grand Forks/was-in^he city at the tim�� the explosion? occufretlc ,&s'-the telephone line was out of order he will notify Coroner Smith at 'the Forks, when he reaches there this afternoon. STABBED NEAR NIAGARA. John Lawler and Harry Green had a quarrel last Sunday, six miles beyond Niagara, near Fobs & McDonell's camp, and the former, who has the reputation of being an athlete or pugilist, stabbed Green several times with a pocket knife Green was brought to the Cascade hospital, but the wounds are not dangerous. Lawler is now in the Grand Forks jail. A hearing was held this afternoon, but adjourned until next Thursday, when it is likely to go hard with Lawler. RAILWAY NOTES. The tracklaying machine and engine have now gotten up the Columbia as far as McCormick's Landing. Jack Stewart, superintendent of construction, came over the line this week, on a visit of inspection. C. P. R. surveyors have been setting stakes up to the very line of the King Soloman, D. C. Corbin's gigantic copper mine in Copper Camp. J. G. McLean & Co. have moved the entire outfit from their late location near Gladstone and gone to Goat River landing on the Nelson & Bedlington line.

McPherson, of McPHerson Jlll\TJros"'ife Stout, who have the timber contracts along-a large part of,the new railway line, stated to a Rec- jorrf ma/i this week that the various 'reports pablshed atpululiy'times, about his' fifni'1 making headquarters at this, that or the other town town hereabouts, were absolutely without'foundation. He further said that headquarters would be with the mill, now located'M)#iad- stone. ,r Edgar W. Bradshaw, walking boss for Fobs & McDonell, near Niagara, was brought to the Cascade hospital last Sunday, having received serious injuries from a premature blast on the work the day previous. It was thought he .might lose his left hand, but it is now believed it can be saved. As Mr. Bradshaw had already lost his,!r)ight: hand some time before, the accident is pecujlityly,.. unfortunate. ������j;'. , . ��� ; To Locate Permanently,. , %ast Wednesday evening Rev.

Bradshaw. of the Grand Forks Methodist church, will hold services at the school- nouse in the afternoon. Mail Route to Gladstone. The enterprising residents of Gladstone have been endeavoring for some time to get a mail route established between Brooklyn and Cascade, and post offices located at Gladstone and English Point, on Christina lake. Inspector Fletcher asked for tenders from the stage lines for carrying the mails twice a week, and they were put in. Wills' stage line had the lowest bid, but it was considered too high by the department. Accordingly new bids were put in, which it is expected will be soon acted upon. If the route is established it is likely that W. Forrest, J. P., of Gladstone, will receive the appointment of postmaster, which it is needless to say will give general satisfaction. J. B. Wilson, general merchant of Kaslo, was in town this week, looking up a new location. He says Kaslo is a pretty quiet place nowadays.

This was pleasing news to Mr. RoBe. especially as it carried with it an increase of salary���a matter that should have been attended to long ago, if the volume of business and amount of money handled here are any criterion. The telegram from Minister of Customs Patterson, at Ottawa, also conveyed the information that Mr. Grierson now located at Bonner's Ferr>, had'neen'drder'e'd here' as Hh assistant This will tterYd ttl'relfeve the "in t' n'se strain ' ori the small force���only two���that have had to handle"the increasing custom's 'business at this' pbint'' ''It has been ad- solutely out of the question,'PoY the last few month's,' for"Mr'"R6se to keep up with* nis office work at all, although much has been accomplished during,the last week, with the able assistance of Mr. Shaw of the Nelson office. Ae> showing the importance of the custom house, and the immense volume of business handled here, it is interesting to learn that 'the collections for four days of this last week, amounted to nearly $5,000. and a check for that amount has been forwarded to the department at Ottawa. This should certainly be sufficient to satisfy the powers that be that additional help and increased facilities at this office are positively needed. This week Hewitt Bostock, M.P., advised Mr. Rose that he had applied to Ottawa for relief for the Cascade office and that the matter would receive attention without delay. ������< Hutchins & Wingard of Bossburg, have ten four-horse freight teams on the road all the time, and make a specialty of freight in small lots, as well as of large contracts. This should prove a great convenience to small shippers who have had trouble to get in goods. T. F, Gaine arrived in the city Sunday, and now ha�� his wholesale liquor stock at Bossburg, awaiting the completion of the addition of his building. As a result, he has been a busy man this week, and has crowded the work on his building as fast as possible. THE CASCADE RECORD Queries and Answers.

Night Watchman Pat Kennedy, who shot Sullivan nearly two weeks ago, while the latter was trying to release one Miller from the jail, had his hearing last night before Justice Rochussen, and was discharged. Dan Buckley, who saw Sullivan and Dub, gave his testimony and so did James Fitzpatrick, of Russellville. The latter had been detained several days to testify in the case. Officer Dinsmore appeared for the prosecution and J. H. Good for the defense, Mr. Kennedy being exonerated. The hearing lasted from 7. p. m. till 2 this morning. Fire Wardens Elected. Pursuant to instructions issued by Government Agent Leonard Norris, of Vernon, dated November 26th, to James H. Good of this city, an election was held last Monday to select three fire wardens for the city of Cascade. There were only three nominations, and consequently no poll was required. The nominees were: George K. Stocker, townsite agent; John Earle, mill man, and F. Elkins, late provincial constable. There being no other nominations by 11 a. m. the above were duly declared elected by the presiding officer. Mr. Good has duly notified the government agent of the result. Plenty of Ice. The suggestion made in last week's Record that aome enterprising person should put up ice for next summer's use, ia being taken up. G. W. Worby and Ben Soules are arranging to build a 30x50 ice house at the lower end of Christina lake, and as soon as the ice is thick enough will store away some 300 or 400 ton* of frocen Adam's ale for use next season. B. F. Van Cleve, it is also reported, is preparing to put up 300 tons of ice, which he will cut from Kettle river near town. If both of these plans are carried out there will be no lack of congealed aqua pura when warm weather comes again. Death from Paralysis. Henry Gatau died this morning, at six o'clock, from the effects of a stroke of paralysis, at the Grand Central hotel. He had been working for some time at his trade of a carpenter for Ira Black, and was engaged to make the coffin for James Carroll, who died a few days since. Early yesterday morning he was stricken down in the rear of Black's hotel, and was at once cared for, receiving every possible attention, but could not survive the shock. He was well known in Kaslo, New Denver and elsewhere. Trouble at the mils. This last week both saw mills have been crippled, and surfaced lumber has consequently been scarce. The Thomason Mill.across the river, had its water supply frozen up again, but this has been repaired, and the mill is once more O. K. The Cascade Saw Mill, while running steadily, is awaiting the arrival of new knives for the planer, which have heen wired for and are expected daily. Both mills have an immense amount of work laid out for them. Jail Contract Let George C. Rose, at the request of the attorney-general, has called for tenders for a jail and provincial headquarters, and several bids have been put in. The building is to be 20x30 feet in size, to have 3 cells, officer's quarters and a convenient court room. The contract was awarded this afternoon to N. Robinson for $445. Divine Service. Rev.

F. R. Crocker's water system has been frozen up, and made considerable trouble for the proprietor as well as his many patrons here. The chief trouble was the freezing of the intake pipe to the tank. With his customary energy, how* ever, Mr. Crocker now has everything in running order once more. IN AND AROUND CASCADE. John McLaren, of Rossland, recently appointed chief of police of Greenwood, is ill at Rossland. S. P. Shaw, of the custom house at Nelson, has been in the city several days, assisting Collector Rose. There is a good opening for some enterpring man to put up ice for Cascade's consumption next summer. Niagara is to have a concert hall, with a seating capacity of 300, work on which has already begun. Following the lead of Cascade, there is talk of placing the needs of Grand Forks before the provincial government. Donald McLeod, purchasing agent for Mann, Foley Bros. & Larson, spent several days in the Gateway City this week. The new wagon road from Grand Forks to Niagara is one and a half miles shorter than the old one. It cost $402.75 to build it. The Spokane Falls & Northern have increased the rate on oats from Spokane to Bossburg 10 cents per 100, making the rate now 25 cents per 100. The Greenwood Times states that the eight-inch pipe ordered for that city has been either snowed up in North Dakota or stolen by Montana cowboys.

Niagara; B.C., Dec. 16. Hanager Whyte Says So Manager Whyte,of the Canadian Pacific railway, has informed a Montreal paper that his company has decided to erect a 1,000-ton smelter in the Boundary Creek country, and that the work of construction will be commenced forthwith. The point at which the smelter will be located has not been decided on, but it is the intention of the company to select a site that will be convenient to th. minet. of the district. It is hoped that this report is true, says the Rossland Miner. If it is, southeast Yale will soon be the scene of great mining activity, the like of which has never been witnessed in the west. It has been proved beyond all doubt that there are immense bodies of copper and copper-gold ore in the Boundary Creek country. During the past 18 months the numerous mineral properties of that section have been systematically and extensively devoloped and many claims have been brought beyond the prospect stn^e. The dumps show thousands of tons of shipping ore, and the workings in not a few instances admit of heavy stoping. In short the district only needs smelter facilities to at once become a large producer of mineral wealth. It will take fome time to construct these reduction works, but if the company commences to build now, they will be ready to treat the ores of the surrounding country by the time the Robson-Penticton railway is completed. The establishment of these two conveniences is all that is necessary, and from thence on the Boundary Creek country can take care of itself. MININO PERSONALS. D. C. Beach has gone over to Rossland on business in connection with his Baker creek claims. Smith Curtis, of Rossland was a visitor twice this week to Cascade, in connection with the contract recently let on the Pay Ore. Charlie Willarson and Pete Johnson paid Gladstone a visit this week. They have a number of claims near Gladstone which they expect to develop this coming season. Bob Cramer, one of our best known and most successful local prospectors, went over to Rossland this week on a holiday trip. Billy Morrison, his partner, is wintering iu the metropolis. Mr. C. H. Thomas and Mr. Shep- pard of the contractor's store, have purchased the Nemo from Willarson & Johnson. This claim adjoins the Shamrock mountain at the head of Baker creek, and has a good surface showing. J. A. Seaman, mining partner with H. A. Denton of Cascade, is wintering at Mission, near Wenat- chee, Wash., where he owns a large stock ranch. Mr. Seaman writes that he will be on hand early next spring to assist Mr. Denton in continuing work on the Red Chief group near Gladstone. Assays from this property give returns as high as $28 in gold and 5| percent copper. Frank Hutchinson hasquitwork on the Elmore and gone over to Rossland on a visit. Smith Curtis who is assisting Frank in the development of the Elmore goes east shortly and expects to place the Elmore or Belcher Co's stock on the market. It is their intention to commence operations in earnest on the Elmore early next Spring. If surface indications go for anything the Elmore will make amine. After January First. On and after. .January 1st the new customs regulations changing the forms of oaths and declarations of importers will go into effect.

Since the Camp McKinney town- site was put on the market, a few days ago. a large number oi lots have been disposed of. The present owners of the Humboldt, which adjoins the Elmore on the west, are 1). J. Mattheson and D. D. Ferguson. They did assessment work on the Humboldt lust fall and took out some good looking ore. The L. T. K. is the name of a claim just opposite Cascade, over the river, that was staked last fall by Bill Lattah, Tom Kellar and Geo. Cameron. The L. T. K. is a copper proposition and is supposed to have the Roderick Dhu lead. George K. Stocker left on Thursday morning with Mrs. Stocker, for a business trip to Spokane, where they will spend the holidays. On their return, in about ten days, it is expected that their new residence will be ready for occupancy. The late Alexander Mason,along with George Cameron, owned the Highland Chief, on the Stewart creek opposite English point. Mr. Cameron says the claim has a tine lead on it and thinks it is likely to turn out well with development. On Monday the Cascade Drug Co. moved into the new quarters on First Avenue. Dr. Schaich, the manager, is now well settled and prepared better than ever for his many patrons. Just at present he has a tine line of holiday goods and toys, suitable to the season. J. R. Reid informs the Record that his Rossland associates in the Tammany group, Burnt Basin, adjoining the Mother Lode, have declined to accept the offer of $20,000 for a seven-eighths interest in the property, recently made by a Butte, Mont., firm. Kenneth P. Mattheson, of Cascade, is pleased with the work the railway contractors have been doing for him. The railway survey passes over three of his Castle mountain claims, the Great Western, Paragon and Wigwam. On the Paragon the railway men have already crosscut a twenty foot iron capped lead. On the Wigwam he has found an iron lead fourteen feet wide on which he intends to do some work soon. The best showing however, is on the Great Western from which assays giving ten per cent, copper and $6" in gold have been obtained. Perhaps it is not generally known, but it is true nevertheless, that the Christina lake district can boast of having among its residents one of the best swimmers in the world, in the person of Charlie Sander. Charlie is a "typo" by profession and has held down a case in several of America's big cities. At the World's Fair he won several swimming championships, and shortly after emigrated to Christina lake, at the north end of which he owns a fine ranch and prospective summer resort, besides a number of mineral claims. Charlie has a guest up at his ranch this winter, in the person of young Joe Lang of Chicago. Joe, who is an old friend of Charlie's, is a professor of yard sticks, having worked for years in one of the great Chicago depar- timentals. He was in poor health when he reached here a few months ago, but now he is robust and strong as a young giant. Joe has a genial disposition and is an excellent musician. Joe says this country is good enough for anybody as it is, but if there were a few Chicago girls around the district would be a paradise on earth. Peter Carroll Dead. Last Wednesday afternoon about 4 o'clock, Peter Carroll, an old man, who has been acting as porter at Black's hotel for a month past, died in that house of pneumonia. He had been ill for some days with erysiplelas, but was not thought to be dangerous. His son, however, was Bent for to Grand Forks, and arrived in time to be with his father when he died. Mr. Carroll leaves a wife and family in Walla Walla in poor circumstances. A collection was taken up to defray funeral expenses, and nearly every business man approached donated with willingness. The funeral took place on Thursday. Mr. Carroll was an old hotel man. Years ago he was connected with the Merchants Hotel in St. Paul and later managed the International in the same city. Then he had hotels all through the Dakota* and finally worked his way to the Pacific Northwest. He was well known among the old-line travellers. He died at the age of 55. * Know a Good Thing.

The Boundary country is on the eve of an era of prosperity, the like of which has never been seen before in British Columbia. For years mining men of determination and push have steadily and quietly gone on developing and showing up the mammoth gold-copper lodes of this country, confident that time would justify and reward them for their confidence in the district. For years they have clamored for transportation facilities, and their requirements in this important matter are being complied with. A railway is being constructed through the very centre of the mineral belt as quickly as unlimited capital can accomplish it. All this means an era of good times, of which we have only Been the beginning. The district, in its gigantic ledges of mineral, almost surpasses belief. But they are here in very truth, and will be the source of great wealth to the entire district and to the province. The railway ��� now building is only a beginning -a starter as it were. Plans are now maturing���to be made public shortly���that will almost gridiron the Boundary country with railways and branch lines. There will be no more crying out for transportation facilities, as it is practically already here. What is needed now is development, and it is going on at a surprising rate. The ore tonnage from the Boundary district will be a genuine surprise, in our opinion, to even old timers in this country. Capital in the east and to the south is waking up and realizing to some extent, the size of the fortunes tied up in our mountains. It is coming out here with increasing confidence, and will, beyond a doubt, reap its own reward. An era of prosperity is just dawning. MINERAL ACT CHANGES. Hon. J. Fred Hume, provincial secretary and minister of mines, has requested gold commissioners, mining recorders and others to send him such suggestions as it would seem best to make, as regards changes in the mineral act. The idea is an excellent one, for while it is not likely that a tithe of the suggestion? will be acted upon by the legislature, yet some ideas for the better, along the lines indicated, ought to be brought out. All mining men agree that the act is far from satisfactory in its present form, and yet any changes must be such as will benefit the many and not the few. In other words, the welfare of the trail- blazer and prospector muBt be looked after as well as that of the capitalist and investor. In several sections meetings have been called to consider and recommend changes, and great interest has always been evinced. Among other things that ought to be considered are claim jumping, reduction of recording fees, unlimited locations by one person, lawB governing corporations, assessments, etc. Our legislators will be watched closely as ti their standing on these matters when they come up for consideration by the provincial parliament. the rushes. In 1889 Colorado and old Mexico saw the miners come in crowds. From these precedents he anticipates a great year in 1899. BEGINS ON CHRISTflAS. On Christmas day���next Sunday week���imperial penny postage goes into effect; That is to say, if one wiBhes to send a letter from Cascade to Cape Town or Australia, it can be done for two cents; but if the letter goes to Grand Forks or Rossland, it still costs three cents. Postmaster-General Mulock has not yet explained, so far as has been reported in the public press, this paradoxical state of affairs. However, Mr. Mulock certainly deserves and will receive great credit for originating the imperial penny postage idea, which is so soon to be adopted. It cannot but assist materially in bringing the many widely separated parts of this vast empire closer together, and cement them firmer than ever before. It is a step in the right direction, and while it may not prove profitable at first from a monetary point of view, its effects for the good of the empire will be far reaching and will be felt in due time. The treaty of peace, between Spain and the United States has finally been signed at Paris. One of the prominent features of the closing scene of this one-sided drama was the scramble for the pens with which the famous document was signed. The relic hunter always gets in his fine work on such occasions When you wish to address Canada's new governor-general and desire to give him his full list of titles, here they are: His excellency the Right Honourable Sir Gilbert John Elliott Murray-Lynnynmond, Earl of Minto and Viscount Melgund of Melgund, County of Forfar, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, Baron Minto of Minto, County of Roxburgh, in the Peerage of Great Britain, Baronet of Nova Scotia, Governor-General of Canada. Nearly every town in this part of the country is to have a smelter on paper. But very little is heard of Cascade in this connection. It is as well, however, to remember that the hunter who is after game does not hunt ducks with a brass band. He's not built that way. No let up on the Heady sawing of wood will be noticed, nevertheless. Cascade has the necessary power and the location for a smelter��� something that no other town in the district possesses.

One of the oldest of the old timers spun this half prophetic yarn to a Spokane reporter: "Every ten years we have a mining excitement in this country. These events have beenj occurring regularly every year that ends with the figure 9 since the eventful year of '49, when the famous rush to California took place. There has not been a single break in all that time. There have been rushes between times, but the nine years never miss. Some of the rushes, stampedes, excitements- -call them what you like--have been more noteworthy than others, but all have been of such importance as to stamp the year plainly upon the memory of mining men who participated in the events. "Now I mention this because I feel it in my bones, see it in the signs of the times, scent it in the air around me that the rush which is due next year will start in the early spring. It's coming, sure as fate. Now, just look over the past 50 years, and 6ee if my theory of these periodical mining stampedes is not correct. One of you at least, can remember the rush to California in '49, when 150,000 men dared perils of plain and sea to reach the scene of Marshall's discovery. Ten years later, in 1859, the miners of California stampeded to Fraser tiver iu British Columbia. It was a mighty rush, and one that was well rewarded. It was a Yankee rush too, I believe between 75,000 and 100,000 men went to the Fraser and the districts north of it in that year. "The two stampede? which I have mentioned were caused by discoveries of placer gold. The one of the next decade was a quartz excitement, and was due to the discovery and development of the great Comstock ledge at Virginia City, Nev., a ledge which set the world to talking. The rush of '99 will be like it. " Silver had its innings ajain in 1879, when the tide of mining excitement set strongly toward Lead- ville. But in that same year the free-milling gold ledges of Tombstone, Ariz., also attracted many. "The last excitement we "had upon a year ending with the figure 9 was caused by the famous Har- qua Hala gold mines on the Colorado river, and the silver mines at Chihuahua, Mexico, both of which events occurred in 1889, and caused many thousands of old time prospectors and miners to get the stampede frenzy in their veins once more. "I am not alone in the belief that these rushes come every ten years. You will find many an old- time prospector and miner who remembers the stirring years I have mentioned, who is looking forward to the coming year as one which will see the world stirred again with the intense interest in mines." First Grave in Cascade. A lonely grave enclosed by a neat picket fence, just acrops the river on the bench land and close by the Dewdney trail, marks the last resting place of Sam Swanson, a pioneer prospector. His was the first white man's grave dug in this vicinity. Swanson came from Vir- den, Man., to Trail during the spring of '96. In Virden he had built and owned the Grand Central, the first hotel erected in that town. But business reverses came and he movod west, leaving his wife behind. He did not meet with much success in Trail, and the following spring, '97, he came out here along with Cameron Brothers to prospect. He had only prospected a few days when he was taken ill up in the Lallah Rookh cabin on Castle mountain. He received every attention that his fellow prospectors could give, and it was not thought that his condition was dangerous. But on the third day of his sickness he died suddenly, the trouble, it seems, being in flammation of the bowels. A coflin was provided and his friends, by dint of indurance, carried him from the mountain. The funeral Kervices were read by W. McKay, the carpenter, and were quite impressive, the handful of pioneers then in the neighborhood being all present. Swanson was 47 years old and was admired by those who knew him for his sterling qualities. His widow now residep at Ashcroft, where she has relatives. Development to Begin. J. W. O'Brien, who recently sold out his interests in Rossland, arrived in the city Thursday. He is interested with D. C. Beach in several Baker creek prospects, and will arrange shortly to begin work on those promising properties. Mr. O'Brien has already put in considerable cash in developing these properties and believes he has a good thing. When work is started it will be on the yictoria, and will be continued all winter. Grand Union Hotel For several weeks Captain Ritchie has been pushing work on his hotel building, which is located on Second avenue, opposite the B. C. stables. It is to be called the Grand Union, and will be ready for business in a short time in all departments. The structure is two stories and a half high, and well adapted to the purpose intended.

C 8 THE CASCADE RECORD I PASSING THRONG Apropos the much talked of Mother Lode group of free milling gold claims in the Burnt Hasin, and its co-owner, Mike Shick- - whose name is a familiar one in West Kootenay���it might, perhaps, be interesting to Record readers to know just how Shick happened to stub his toes against the free gold quartz of the Mother Lode. It came about this way : A year ago last summer he cast his fortunes with the Snowdrift and a couple of associate claims, things having gone bad with him on Murphy creek���in other words, the Murphy creek iron caps were not yielding a revenue commensurate with the idea of a man who wouldn't stand pat with anything short of aces. The Snowdrift, which lies on the top of the mountain which forms the McCrea creek boundary of the Burnt Basin, was, and is yet a big proposition, but it is not a child's nursing bottle. Tons of iron ore, carrying high values in copper, bestrewed the sides of the mountain from McCrea creek clear up to the Snowdrift ground, and in a matter- of-fact way Shick reasoned that he had found the reclining spot of the "fickle goddess," and all that remained for him to do was a little wooing with the pick and shovel. * * * Shick left Rossland early last May, accompanied by Marshall Jackson, a kindred spirit, who like himself, had followed prospecting for many moons, and knew what it was to have dame fortune smile as well as frown. They came to Cascade, and, after purchasing supplies, engaged C. H. May, the liveryman, to pack the outfit to the Snowdrift, where they expected to spend the season in trying to prove the Snowdrift a mine. They left Cascade early in the morning intending to reach their destination that night, but the trail waB heavy with spring mud and the cayuses not equal to the emergency. About a mile beyond the Edison cabin, on the east fork of Josh creek, and about two and a half miles from their destination, a big snow bank was encountered and the cayuses quit. It was already growing dark. Aft r unpacking the animals they pitched tent on a dry knoll above the ravine. In the morning, while Jackson was cooking breakfast and the cnyuse man was limbering up his live stock, Shick sallied forth to see what kind of float the mountain above was in the habit of parting with. Before many minutes a large piece of rose colored quartz arrested his attention. Returning to the tent he drew a rock hammer from one of the packs and proceeded to demolish the quartz. ��\ Jackson had breakfast ready when Shick again put in his appearance. But it was not the same Shick who left the cabin a short half hour before. It was the Mike Shick of palmy days, minus the No. 10 gaiters, flowing broadcloth, plug hat, immaculate shirt front and gold headed cane; the wrinkles of age had all left his manly bn.w, and smiling as only Mike can smile, he handed a piece of quartz to his partner, remarking, "ldreamed about thip stuff last night." This was the free gold quartz that awakened Rosslands interest in the Burnt Basin. That boulder was The Merchants Bank of Halifax ��� INCORPORATED I8����. - Paid-up Capital, $1,500,000.

V The Snowdrift had no more immediate interest for Shick and in less than two weeks he and Jackson had the Mother Lode group located and several parallel gold bearing quartz leads uncovered, one of which at least is as rich as the boulder that led to the discovery. V R. T. Daniel, one of the pioneers of the city of Trail, was in town last Thursday, taking in the district. Mr. Daniel is a man who has been identified with Kootenays for many years, and is quick to grasp an opportunity. He believes with Shakespeare that the time to act is when the chance is presented. This he proved only the other day, when nut in East Kootenay on the C. P. R. business men's excursion. The train stopped at Fernie, the coal town, for two hours, and most of the visitors went to look at the coal mines. But |Mr. Daniel did not. Instead he sized up the town itself and did a little stroke of busi- nes on the side. During the brief stop, he bought several lots, let a contract for a building and actually leased the buildinc���all inside of two short hours. He did not know this story had leaked out, but confirmed it to a representative of the Record. * * * John B. Wilson, the Kaslo merchant, who visited Cascade this week, was addicted to the newspaper habit before he took to merchandising in the Kootenays. Although a native of Canada, he has lived in the States, having been connected with the Salt Lake Tribune, the old Spokane Review, the Fairhaven Herald and others. It was while with the latter that he was struck by lightning as it were; that is, he got $15,000 in the Louisiana lottery. Then he went to Kaslo in the '92 boom, and at different times has stores at Three Forks, Nakusp, Duncan City and Sanca, when each of those towns���now in a semi- moribund state���seemed to have a bright future. Even Kaslo now is too quiet for him and he is out prospecting for a new location. Special Postal Notice. The Record has received notice, dated Dec. 2nd, from R. M. Coulter, deputy postmaster-general at Ottawa, that no parcel can be sent from Canada to any other country by parcel post, unless accompanied by a customs declaration, setting forth the nature and value of the contents. As the acceptance of a parcel without such customs declaration, setting forth the nature and value of the contents, will mean its consignment to the dead letter office, the advice is given to postmasters to accept no such parcels, and to the public to govern themselves accordingly.

Last Monday evening Bossburg had a sensation. It occurred at 9:45 at the railway station. J. C. Williams, former , agent of the Spokane Falls and Northern road, at Marcus, arrived on the noon train to take charge of the Bossburg station, succeeding W. T. O'Brien. Auditor J. T. Critchett, who was making the transfer of the station, had been in the office all the evening with Mr. Williams and Operator Morris McCarty. Shortly after 9 o'clock Mr. Critchett left the ottiee, and a few moments later Williams and McCarty, who were standing with their backs to the ticket window, were startled by a command coining from behind them to throw up their hands. At first, however, they believed it to be an attempt at a joke by an acquaintance, and paid no attention to the firsi or second command. The third was accompanied by the click of the revolver and four arms went up as one. The robbers immediately asked that they be told the combination of the safe but as Williams had not yet been given it he could not comply with the request. One of the robbers then stepped to the safe and tried the knob and was surprised to find the safe door unlocked. While the second highwayman covered with his revolver the two thoroughly frightened employes, the first kicked to pieces the two wooden drawers of the safe and appropriated everything contained therein. What amount of booty was secured it is impossible to say, but nothing was left behind. The robbers did not molest the personal property of either Williams or McCarty, but left with the remark : "Boys, you are all right." The robbers were safely away before the alarm was given but Deputy Sheriff Terry is on their track. Both robbers were heavy-set, one about 6 feet and the other about 5 feet 7 inches tall. The railroad company offers a reward of $200 for their arrest and conviction. J. D.

First Avenue, Cascade- 10 THE CASCADE RECORD SIDE, i BY THE WAYSIDE Some narrow minded individuals have an idea that the sphere of the local paper is limited by the boundaries of the town wherein it is published. Still others���poor, deluded souls���are sure that no one reads it, and therefore representation in its . columns cannot benefit their business. But there is a little tale of recent occurrence that points a moral to both the above-mentioned persons, and it came about in this wise. As every one knows, the long distance telephone system was out of "whack" for several days. That is, it could not be used to advantage by Boundary business men. This, it was stated, was caused by need of a new transmitter, which had been sent for some time previously, but failed to arrive. Accordingly, the Record, in the issue of December 3rd, called attention to this exasperating condition of affairs. A few days after the issue had been mailed, Mr. Hodge, of Nelson, received a message from Vancouver, asking about the case, and was blamed for the trouble. -%��� ��� But it ib only fair to state that Mr. Hodge was not to blame. He ordered the required transmitter from Vancouver when so requested. It must be that the coast business men have not yet learned where Cascade is, for the package was sent to Penticton, and calmly reposed in the Dominion Express Co's office there for some time. Finally it was found and forwarded to Rossland, then to Northport. Here it was held a couple of days for a war tax (to help trounce the dons) of ten cents. Finally it reached Cascade, after a series of vicissitudes only equalled by the famous history of a cent. +> Two important facts can be learned from this story, the first of which is that the Record is a thoroughly digested and widely read paper; and second, that nine out of ten of the coast merchants need to take a course in the geography of their own province. Apparently *ome of them know as little about it as they do of Central Africa. If they had spent less time in fighting the Kettle River Railway bill, and more in cultivating the trade of the mining districts, they would now have both more business and more friends here. -%- Several shipments for Cascade from Vancouver have been sent via Penticton of late���one to the Record. In more than one case the shipper will have the privilege of paying the cost of getting the goods from Penticton to Cascade by team, a little item of five cents per pound, that will, it is believed set the Vancouverites to thinking. And well it should, for a parallel for such bungling in snipping goods would, indeed, be difficult to find. Provincial Constable Humphrey holds the record for quick travelling in these:parts. At 2:15 last Sunday afternoon he left Brooklyn for Niagara to arrest Bernardo Vincenzo, an Italian charged With stabbing a fellow countryman on Nov. 1st. Humphrey travelled by the Wills stage line as far as Gladstone, reaching that town about 11 o'clock the same evening. There he got a horse and came on to Cascade in a short time. Here he took a cutter and reached Niagara by 7 o'clock the next morning, having travelled all night. Going at once to Pat Welch's camp, he found his man, put the bracelets on him, and started for Brooklyn, catching the Wills stage on its return trip. If there is a bitter or faster trip known, over the same road, the Record would like to hear of it. Deal for Mother Lode. Messrs. Trethewey and McKen- zie, well known mining men and residents of Kaslo, have been in the Burnt Basin this w ek along with Mike Shick, examining the Mother Lode group. It seems that Shick and Jackson who control the property have made a very satisfactory deal subject to the report of Trethewey and McKenzie. Although the snow is deep now in the Burnt Basin tho experts will have little difficulty in arriving at a conclusion, as the different quartz lodes traversing the group have been pretty well exploited and numerous cross cuts made. If the deal is consummated sinking will be begun at once on the principal free milling lead, and the results will be watched with keen interest, not only by the other property owners in the neighborhood, but by the public in general, for the fame of the Burnt Basin surface showings has been sown broadcast.

C.< ���is v> THE CASCADE RECORD 11 NEW ERA FOR THE BOUNDARY. Coming of Railways and Smelters Harks It. The news from Montreal, that Jay Graves has formed a strong company to build a large smelter for the treatment of the ores from the great ledges of the Old Iron* sides and Knob Hill mines, marks the beginning of a new era for the mining camps of Boundary creek��� the productive era. It has been known for three years that the elements of great wealth were present in that section. The enormous ledges of gold and copper ores were the wonder of mining men, and development which has been steadily carried forward for the past two years has demonstrated the permanence of these ore bodies. There have been wanting transportation and means of economical treatment. The one will soon be provided by the construction of the Boundary Creek line of the Canadian Pacific ; the other will be provided by the smelter to be built by Mr. Graves' company. These vast ore bodies were discovered by American prospector", and they have been largely developed by American skill and capital. Now Canadian interests are stepping in to reap the benefit. The American lines will be shut out, because they have shut themselves out, because they lack the daring energy of the Canadian Pacific. It is hoped that President Hill of the Great Northern is not so intensely conservative as his recent expressions on the subject of construction of branch lines would indicate. This northern country is his natural field. In the Spokane Falls & Northern he owns the only American line penetrating the Kootenai country. That line ought to be extended into the Boundary district, and into Republic camp on the Colville reservation. There is such a thing as waiting too long in railway contruction. A point comes always in the growth of a new country where development waits on transport "ion. That point came in the Bou iry country, and the Canadian !ric has come forward to bridge ths gulf. Henceforth there will be no more lagging. New spirit will possess labor and capita], and we may look for a season of great activity and large production. What the Canadian Pacific is doing for the mining camps just across the border, the American lines ought to do now for the rich camps in Stevens and Okanogan counties. If they fail to do it, the Canadian Pacific's next step will be to invade the mining camps on this side of the border. It is hoped they will. We want the Canadian Pacific in Washington, and the British Columbia people should want the Great Northern in Kootenay and Yale.- -Spokesman-Review. EARL OP MINTO AS A 5P0RT. Canada's New Governor-General Won Fame. The Earl of Minto, our new governor general, is, and has always been, since his schoolboys at Eton, one of the keenest of sportsman. As a gentleman jockey, both over jumps and on the flat; as an oarsman, aB a nailing good man to hounds, and in field atheletics, Lord Minto has won renown. Before succeeded to the peerage Lord Minto used to figure in the pigskin under the assumed name of Mr. Roily. He was then a Cambridge undergraduate. His pseudonym was a nickname he had gained at Eton, where he was a very respectable oar. At school he was a second in the single sculls, and later gained distinction as an active member of the Kingston Rowing club. While an undergraduate he was aho prominent in athletics, and won the mile race in third Trinity sports at Cambridge. It was as an amateur jockey, however, that Lord Minto particularly shone. His aspirations were high, and in 1874 he rode Defense, owned by the famous English turfman, Captain Machell, into fourth place for the Liverpool Grand National Steeplechase. The same year he won the Grand National Steeplechase of France, run at Aut- enil, on Miss Hungerford. He rode over hurdles���an exceedingly more difficult feat than steeplechase riding, though not commonly supposed to be so--with particular success, and won many hurdle races with horses trained by Mr. Richardson. In 1875, at the Lincoln spring meeting, he passed the post first on five different mounts. The packs of hounds with which he is especially well known as a bold horseman, are the Grafton, Lord Yarborough'B and Bleester. Lady Minto also comes from a sporting family���the Greys of Northumberland. She is the daughter of the Hon. Charles Grey, and a cousin of that rising young statesman, Sir Edward, who even as a schoolboy won the commendation of the famous Francis Francis for his skill with the fly rod, and has since become celebrated as a golf player. When Lord Minto was military attachee here, his sporting proclivities were well known and popular, and as governor general he is sure to advance the cause of high class sport of all kinds. Columbia and Western Subsidy. A rumor comeB from the coast to the effect that the government ap predates the justice of the C. P. R.'s contention that the subsidy shall be granted for the construction of the road beyond the approximate 80 miles mentioned in the B. C. Loan Act. The government feels, however,that the act cannot be construed into legalizing the subsidy for the additional distance without beginning construction from Penticton, and consequently will, shortly after the legislature opens, introduce an act amending the B. C. Loan Act of last year. Such an amendment will facilitate the completion of the Robson-Boundary Creek road. The work from the Summit to Greenwood is comparatively easy. There is but little rock work and the grade is very light. The grading will be made very quickly, as a nnmber of contractors have finished their work at the Robson end and are anxious to move their plants and men over here.���Greenwood Times. Hal. Livingston, of L. M. Livingston & Co., general merchants of Brooklyn, was a caller at the Record office last Monday, on his way to Niagara, where his firm are putting in a branch store. Rev. G. K. Bradshaw, of Grand Forks, held services in the school- house last Sunday evening.

Twplve men are now working on the Winnipeg, over 1000 feet having been done. On the Morrison mine the shaft is now down 70 feet, all in ore, and samples run from $30 to $352 in gold. The only medal given at the Omaha exhibition for free milling gold ore, was to the Lemon mine, located in Camp McKinney. The British American Corporation will soon have 450 men at work on its various properties in and around Rossland. Over 100 tons of ore are awaiting shipment on the dump of the Mother Lode, and work is being steadily continued. Pour men are now working on the Pathfinder,on Pathfinder mountain, 13 miles up the North Fork of Ketile river. It is a promising gold-copper property. The recent settlement of the Paris Belle case at Rossland makes the surface rights of that promising mineral claim worth $400,000, the company being capitalized at $800,000. Manager Harrison says there are 20,000 tons of high grade ore in sight on the B. C. claim in Summit camp. This is the property recently reported bonded to R. G. Edwards Leckie, for the Montreal Goldfields Syndicate. A bond for $15,000, of which five per cent is cash, has been given on the Ruby to Alex Dick, the Rossland operator and expert. It is located in the Skylark camp and has a 50-foot shaft. It is a gold- copper proposition. The Lexington, in White's camp, has been bonded to Jay P. Graves at a price said to be $40,000. It has a good showing of copper ore, and is located close to the international boundary line. The venders are Geo.
