����ZW4 THE CASCADE RECORD Published in the Interests of the Boundary and Christina Lake Mining Districts # Vol. II. CASCADE, B. C., MARCH 31, 1900. No. 21. OLD HUCKLEBERRY KOPJE *��� - Another Army to Do Battle on Its Mineral Heights. ����v. THE SECOND RUSSELL CO. FORMED The Moonlight, a Monster Ledge, said to Be an Extension of the Original Russell Lead, to Be Developed. Another company has been incorporated to operate a claim in Camp Russell, on Huckleberry mountain, near Cascade, which is said to be an extension of the famous Bunker Hill, which has caused a sensation in that part of the reservation within the past few months. The new company is to develop the Moonlight claim and the corporation is known as the Moonlight Mining & Milling company. The claim lies between the Bunker Hill, which is owned by the Russell Mining company, and the Silver King, which is owned by the Silver King Mining company. The officers are: President C.G.Brown; vicu-preoident, C. D. Bihbins; secretary and treasurer, Charles White. The company starts with $1500 in the treasury, contributed hy the incorporators. ThiB leaves a treasury of 400,000 of the total 1,000,000 shares intact. Grant, Stewart, who was one of the original owners of the claim, said to a Spokesman-Review reporter: "The development work has been slight, but has served to show up a fine prospect, while the development of the Bunker Hill assure? us still more that the Moonlight is a promising claim. We have a 45-foot prospecting tunnel, which did not cross the vein. The ledge is from 80 to 100 feet wide, in granite, porphyry and serpentine. We sank a shaft on the incline 18 feet in well-mineralized vein matter. Then we started a shaft in a more favorable place, and at a depth of 14 feet thi�� is in a full width of solid ore, highly mineralized with copper and iron, and no wall in sight. This shaft is to be continued. Two shifts will be worked by a contractor who has a contract to sink 100 feet." Little news comes from Camp Russell, as it has been the policy of the chief operators there to work much and talk little. All indications, however, point to a season of great activity, with much to show for it. A Burnt Basin Mine Will Ship. Mr. T. B. Kellar was in Rossland the other day buying supplies for his camp in Burnt Basin. He tells the Miner that the Harlam claim has been developing all the past winter. The shaft is down 43 feet on the vein, where crosscutting will begin. The ore so far met. with averages $61 to the ton. The intention is to commence shipping from this property early in April. Messrs. Dickson and Forrest, on a claim which they own in Burnt Basin, have found several senilis of native copper in the ledge. Some of the pieces of copper weigh as high as 10 pounds. Mr. Cooper is gathering together a carload of copper ore on the Jennie Lind property preparatory to shipping it to the smelter. PIERRE LAKE DISTRICT BOOMING. The Canadian Patriotic Fund has reached a total of $215,000. the field have not allowed themselves to be cut off with their heavy guns, which are needed in the forts at Pretoria. The majority of the Transvaalers are ignorant of the gravity of the situation, and though tired of remaining so long from their farms, will fight hard, believing that their liberty and property are at stake* and confident of ultimate success- His Pitiful Condition. D. M. Purdy, a woodchopper for the Republic Reduction company, was frightfully injured by the explosion of giant powder caps, Tuesday. The caps had heen sitting in the sun and when he picked them up they exploded. Both arms had to be amputated and he will lose both eyes. It is thought by the physicans that he will live. WHERE IS MAYOR MANLY? Capitalists from the East Taking Great Interest in its Rich Prospects. S. G. Whalen. a mineralogist of New York, who has been looking over the mining districts of Washington and British Columbia in the interest of eastern capitalists, has recently visited the Pierre lake district, of which he says: "I have not a doubt but what this district will prove to be one of the most wonderful camps in the northwest. The control ing interest in the leading claims are chiefly owned by B. F. Woodman, jr., of Helena, S. C. Bradbury of Marcus, and J. Martin of New York. Parties who are now interesting themselves in the district are J. W. Martin, a multi-millionaire of New York, and W. A. Walton and Geo. Walcott, Boston capitalists. They expect to visit the country in May and will be looking for other good properties." Hope for Intervention. A Durban dispatch says it is learned from authentic sources that the Boer leaders are aware that they are beaten, but think they can hold out for four or six months, within which time they firmly believe foreign intervention will force Great Britain to grant favorable terms, including independence. They expect Germany or United States to interfere. The mission of Messrs. Wolmarans, Fischer and Wessels to Europe is to hasten this so far as Germany is concerned. The Boer plans include a stand at Kroonstadt, the Vaal river and other points, culminating in the defence of Pretoria, which has been preparing for a siege. The ranges of the guns have heen tested, mines have been laid, and the forces in What Has Become of the Grand Forks Railway Push? The Kettle River Railway bill has been three times before the Dominion bouse committee to which it was referred, but those favorable to legislation of this kind fear that ihe necessary backing is not behind the proposition this time to push it through, says a dispatch from Ottawa. So far no one in favor of the hill has been seen there working for it, while the fierce opposition to its passage is said to have heen active frim the beginning of the session. The bill has many friends in parliament, and many outside, but it is claimed that so far no one has put in an appearance who has identified himself with the measure. Mr. Manly may be as large as an elephant in the eyes of his townspeople, hut at the Dominion capital is shriveled to an infinitesimal flee by the gorgeousness of his surroud- ings. Paris Exposition Opens April 14th. April 14, the anniversay of Abraham Lincoln's assassination, the World's Exposition of 1900 will be opened and the public admitted. Coming Across the Line by Thousands. Canadian immigration agents report that during the past six months 14,000 emigrants from the middle-western states settled in Canada, and brought with them assets of the value of $2,000,000. General Joubert Dead. General Joubert, the famous Boer warrior, is dead, having succumbed to a disease of the stomach on the 25th instant, aged 68 years. The state of Virginia has adopted capital punishment for thecrime of highway robbery. SUTHERLAND SIDING CAMP There are Eleven Good Claims in That Near-by Mining Center. NEW STORE AND HOTEL BUILDING Our Minnie, Sunset, Dykehead, Mountain Chief, Rattler, Louisiana, Teller, Big Chief, Lincoln, Tennessee and Caledonia Claims. Sutherland Siding is located on the Columbia & Western, about four miles north of Cascade. At present the town consists of a side- tract, the home of Vir. Thos. Price, and a hotel and store building in course of construction. But this is not saying the place will continue as at present. The mining prospects in the camp are being quietly developed, land is being taken up in the vicinity, and Mr. Price says a depot will be built there and a postoffice established. Sutherland is well situated, and as the mines improve so will it as a convenient trading post. The growth of tbe Boundary does not now wholly, and will less in the future, depend on mining, although that industry will for many years be its main stay. It will not be long, however, before the live stock business will form a prominent feature of this country's industry, and fruit and vegetable raising will develop as time goes on, and localities that now appear to pine in the midst of desolation and decay, will then thrive. The influences that make toward the building up of suburban towns are a direct benefit to Cascade. T. Markinson, we hear, has secured a contract to do the cross- cuting work on the John Bull in Burnt Basin, where the work of sinking has been in progress all winter. Mr. Cooper, owner of the Golden Age and Havannah claims near Gladstone expects to be able to ship ore soon. William Jennings Bryan has been touring the Paiific coast states the past week. He was in Spokane yesterday. Late dispatches say that(General Botha, and not President Kruger, as at first announced, will succeed the late General Joubert. The oldest postmaster in Nova Scotia, Wm.

It has heen disproved a thousand times; it is a case of airy fancy. It doesn't take money to run a newspaper. It can run without money. It is not a busi- ness venture. It is a charitable institution, a begging concern, a highway robber. A newspaper is a child of the air, a creature of a dream. It can go on and on, and any other concern would lie in the hands of a receiver, and wound up with cobwebs in the windows It takes wind to run a newspaper; it takes gall to run n newspaper. It takes a scintillating, acrobatic imagination and �� half-dozen white shirts and a railroad pass to run a newspaper. But who ever needed money to conduct a newspaper? Kind words are the medium of exchange to do the business for the editor���kind words and church sociable tickets ! When you see an editor with money, watch him. He'll be paying his bill and disgracing his profession. Never give money to an editor. Make him trade it out. he likes to swap. Then when you die, after having stood around for years and sneered at the editor and his little jim crow newspaper, be sure and have your wife send in for three extra copies by one of your weeping children, and when she reads the generous and touching notice, forewarn her to neglect to send in the 15 cents to the editor. It would overwhelm him. Money is a corrupting thing. The editor knows it; what he wants is your heart-felt thanks. Then he can thank tho printers and they can thank their grocers ! Give your job printing to the city printer, and then come and ask for free puffs. Get your lodge letterheads and stationery printed out of town, and then flood the editor with beautiful fraternal thoughts in resolutions of respect and cards of thanks. They make such spicy rending and when you pick it up filled with these glowing and vivid mortuary articles, you are so proud of your little local paper 1 But money���scorn the filthy thing. Don't let the pure, innocent editor know anything about it. Keep that for sordid tradespeople who charge for their wares. The editor gives his bounty away. The Lord loves a cheerful giver! He'll take care of tbe editor. He has a charter from the State to act as doormat for the company. He will get the paper out somehow; and stand up for the town and whoop it up for you when you run for office, and lie about your pigeon-toed daughter's tacky wedding, nnd blow about your big-footed sons when they get a $4 a week job, and weep over your shriveled soul when it is released from its miserable hulk, and smile at your giddy wife's ���euoiid marriage. Dont worry about the editor���he'll get on The Lord knows how���but somehow.��� St. John (Kansas) News. Premier Martin is after the C. P. R. He has seized a quantity of piles and ties forming part of the Crow's Nest Pass Railway line, and says it is done to at once bring to an issue the long-standing refusal of the C. P. R. to pay royalty on timber cut on government land. Lumbermen in Kootenay have complained that, while the C. P. R. escapes royalty, it is always collected from them, and Martin proposes to make the law apply to all alike. There may be trouble ahead for the local managers of the Hall Mines company, limited. The report is current that the directors have decided to send out from London an expert accountant to examine the books of the company. It is mooted that considerable of the company's money has been paid out for purposes other than that of mining and smelting ores. A strike of free milling quartz is reported near Carson, B. C.

The fact that the election to be held in this province in June next, will be conducted on Federal party lines is becoming quite patent. Partizans are gradually shuffling themselves to their respective ranks and lining up for the approaching political contest. While the press of the province, almost as a unit, is arrayed against Premier Martin, he i�� bravely facing his opponents and holding his ground. If he had anything like an even standing with the newspapers he would surely route his enemies in short order, and undoubtedly have a formidable following. That he will from now on grow in favor with the voters, there are many reasons for believing. His platform voices the progressive spirit of the country and day, although some of its propositions may he thought too sweeping by the ultra conservative. He is, amid all the adverse criticism, bearing himself in a dignified and thoughtful manner, sometimes artfully ''playing to tne galleries," it is true, but the ablest of political leaders find it necessary to do so occasionally; thereby bringing strength to a worthy cause. Mr. Martin's political knowledge has been acquired hy long experience, which, with hjs remarkbe energy and indomitable perseverence, may yet win him laurels. Of his efforts at Victoria on the 27th instant the press dispatch says : Martin's public meeting tonight was quite a success from his standpoint, the premier being well received by seven or eight hundred citizens who crowded the hall. He appealed for support as the leader of the Liberal party, declaring that this is to be a contest between the Liberals under him, and the Conservatives under Wilson. He dealt at considerable length with the deed of coals lands to the Crow's Nest Pass company after his ejection from the government claiming that had his policy been followed these lands could have been made to pay the whole expenses of the government of the province. Referring to the Colonist's opposition, Martin alleged it was inspired by the disappointment of editor Lugrin at not having been himself called in by the lieutenant- governor. THE WAR. With the masses, the Transvaal war is becoming a secondary matter. There have been no important events in the Held the past week. Generals Roberts and Kitchener are still quietly manoeuvering for position, settling their claws in the act of getting ready to make another jump at the enemy at Pretoria and Mafeking. At this writing Mafeking is said to he in a deplorable condition, yet without relief. The Union Jack waves over Bloenifontein, the capital city of the Free State, whose inhabitants seem to, as a rule, submit kindly and philosophically to British authority, and are glad to be relieved of the hardships and dangers of trying to bluff John Bull. While there is undoubtedly some severe fighting yet to be done, the Boers are virtually whipped, but Oom Paul is reluctant to admit it. Advices from Cape Town say rains are general throughout South Africa, and rivers which have been dry for years are being flooded, Many camps are being transformed into swamps. This will still more militate against an immediate British advance. Sickness among the Boer prisoners on the transports is increasing. Four deaths occured March 26th. The bodies were buried by the British with the Transvaal flag on the coffins, tbe leading Dutch of Simons- town attending the funeral. Typhoid fever alone claims one hundred victims among the prisoners and the population of Simons- town fear an epidemic. Ont., with four cars of effects. When the train on which these homeeeekers arrived left the east there were 45 cars of settlers and their effects hound for the west. Some disembarked in Manitoba, and at other points along the main line, the balance coming to Calgary and leaving the train at way stations nnjtheC. & E.���Edmonton Bulletin.

Recently L. L. Patrick, reprsenting George B. Mechem and associates of Montreal, staked out a claim on ground said to belong to Mr. Evans. The matters were brought before the courts for adjustment, but nothing was agreed upon. Sunday evening the residence being built upon the ground by Mr. Patrick was blown up by dynamite. Now the matter is again in court and war rents are being procured at Concunnally for the arrest of the parlies connected with the dynamite outrage. Tbe end is not yet.

Mining Notes Gleaned from Pheenlx Pioneer. It is reported that the ore body has been struck on the 70-foot level of the City of Paris, in White's < amp. Drifting is now going on at the 100-foot level on the Norfolk in Central camp, owned by tbe London and B. C. Gold Fields. The freight and treatment rate thus far charged by the C. P. R. on Boundary ores to the Trail smelter is said to lie $7 per ton. The shaft on the St. Lawrence, Deadwood en nip, is down 75 feet, and will be continued to the 150- foot level before drifting is begun. Three carloads of Winnipeg ore, recently shipped gave returns of $18, $22, and $24 per ton respectively. Altogether nine cars have been shipped from the property. On the Eunset, in Deadwood camp the new half of a 20-dri!l compressor, with the two 80-h. p. boilers are working in good shape. From a large number of tests, an average value of Golden Crown ore is $35 per ton. A car daily, from development only, is expected to be shipped from the mine, as soon as steel is laid to the ore bunkers. A strike of 18 feet of good ore is reported from the Banner claim in Franklin camp, at the head waters of the north fork of the Kettle river. The property was bonded last year by Henry White, one of the old timers in Phoenix and other Boundary camps. Superintendent Buck of the War Eagle, who is also in charge of the Red Rock and Bald Eagle, has re ceived instructions to begin development work on the latter properties as soon as they can be gotten at to advantage. This will probably be in a short time, as the snow, even at that altitude, is fast disappearing. The annual meeting of the stiok- holders of the Mountain View Copper company was held at Eholt Monday night and the following officers and directors were chosen: President, P.Welch; vice-president, and managing director, J. C. Stafford; secretary and treasurer, J. B. Mcintosh; John Dorsey, V. Monnier, J. W.O 'Brien and G. A. Ren- dell. It is expected that tinders will be opened and a contract let for development work on tbe property in a few days. Tbe Winnipeg mine, which closed down a few weeks ago, as it was given out thru, pending negotiations for consolidation with the Golden Crown, will resume operations shortly, returns of from $18 to $24 per ton on the ore thus far more than realized the expectations of the stockholders. The Winnipeg, which has been continuously worked for two years and a half up to this time, is developed to the 300-foot level, and has about 2000 feet of work done thus far. Christian sentiment is growing in the United States. By a combined effort it has succeeded in barring Roberts, whose religious faith allows him several wives,outof congress. The same sentiment per- mitsgambling and bawdy houses to exist throughout the country, so so long as those institutions pay a part of their earnings into the public treasury. P.

Thomas returned from an extended visit Jo Spokane yesterday. John Earle, of the Cascade sawmill, is shipping another carload of lumber this week. There is beginning to be considerable travel through Cascade to the Similkameen country. Work on the Cascade depot and section house is about completed and the boarding house car will move out of the yards here about Tuesday. We are informed the coachs of the stage line between Cascade and Bossburg will start out Monday, and will be run regularly from that date on all summer. Peter Pugsley, formerly of Cascade but now of Kettle Falls, Wash., was in town this week. Also, Jack Woodruff, who passed the winter in Spokane. Prospectors are in and out of Cascade quite numerously, and from present indications this section of the country will be given a pretty thorough going over this summer. Mr. Gerald Upton leaves to-night for San Francisco. He will go by way of Vancouver, Victoria and Seattle. At the latter place he will be met by a brother, with whom he will visit a few days. Mr. D. McLeod came over from Nelson Thursday to look after some of his business interests here. He thought from appearance this community was improving and that it had quite an air of activity. Seventeen pupils are now in attendance at the Cascade school. All the pupils vaccinated by Dr. Jakes are better and are back at school. Of the pupils vaccinated at the school the vaccination was successful in every case except one, and those successfully vaccinated have received certificates. Next Monday the hours for opening and closing the schools of British Columbia will as usual be changed. According to the school law of this province, all public schools must lie opened at 9 a. in. and closed at 3.30 p. m. from April 1st to Oct. 31st,. During the rest of the year they are opened at 9.30 a. m. and closed at 3 p. m. Next Monday the Cascade school will, therefore, be opened at 9. a, m. and closed at 3.30 p. m. Work on the water way of the Cascade Water Power and Light company's great enterprise is progressing rapidly,and the vastnessof the undertaking is beginning to be more and more apparent to the casual observer as the plans of the engineer are developed. The development of the mineral resources which is being prosecuted with so much vigor gives assurance that there will he a great demand for all the light and power the company will have at its disposal, giving the investors profitable returns for their enormous outlay. Boundary Freight Rates Lowered. Orders have been issued by the Columbia & Western to cut all rates between Rossland and the various points in the Boundary. The cut on general merchandise is equivalent to about 40 per cent. On produce a special rate is given which gives a further reduction, and generally amounts to another 25 per cent. Freight rates to Grand Forks were $4 per hundred and are now $2.50. To Eholt the charge was $4.50 and is reduced to $2.75; to Greenwood the figure was $4.50 and that has been reduced to $3. On market produce, butter, eggs, etc., the special rate makes an average cut of 25 per cent on the rates as quoted above. Tbe Nelson Miner Says it Is Poppycock. The Victoria Colonist maintains its right to freely criticise the Lieutenant-Governor, notwithstanding he represents the Sovereign. It will be a bad day for Canada when the people's mouths are closed against just criticism of the arbitrary acts of any of its rulers. But it is well to understand that this talk of a Lieutenant-Governor representing the Sovereign is all poppy-cock. Mr. Mclnnis represents the Governor-in-Council at Ottawa, and that alone. On Sir Wilfred Laurier's recommendation Lord Minto can send him about his business any day. He no more represents the majesty of our gracious Queen than he does the planet of Jupiter. He is the servant of the Ottawa Government, appointed to represent it as Governor of one of the Provinces, and has no more of the divinity that hedges kings than has a goose. London, March 29.���-Arrangements for the Queen's visit to Dublin are nearing completion. Two detachments of Life Guards left London this evening to act as royal escort, and the trials of the royal trains have been completed along the entire route. Mr. Gerald Balfour, chief secretary of Ireland, who is just recovering from a serious illness, will leave to-morrow in order to welcome the Queen, who will probably be accompanied by Lord Lansdowne. the secretary of state for war. Calcutta, March 29.���The deaths from the plague on Tuesday num- 217, and the new cases reported, 157. The total number of cases is 801. The British Military authorities have discovered in a Free State government chest realizable securities worth $500,000. Lord Roberts refuses to shave his lower jaw, in conformity with an army regulation. He says he does not tight with hiB chin. Kruger's generosity surpasses that of Artemus Ward, who was willing to sacrifice all of his wife's relations to save the union of states. Kruger has two hundred relatives who will have to submit to slaughter before he will surrender.

CASCADE CITY, BRITISH COLUMBIA The B. C. Mine in Summit camp shipped 100 tons of ore last week, making a total of 1900 tons. -~A\ Minnie, the 11-year-old daughter (pf General Botha of the Boer army is a pupil in a school in Highgate, London. Up to last Sunday the total British losses, exclusive of the invalids sent home, are 16,418 killed, wounded and missing. Railway discussion in the city papers conveys the idea that the Canadian Pacific may take a hand in railway matters on Cuhan territory. The Liberal-Conservative convention held in Nelson last week resolved in favor of "party lines," and endorsed Charles Wilson as their leader. An intellectual scintillation from an Eastern paper: "It takes more than one swallow to make a summer, hut one Martin can make it very warm for British Columbia." In Alberta the C. P. It. is helping the settlers along its line hy distributing free pure-bred boars, bulls and rams. To the settler it is a great present help, and in due time the road will reap its reward in stock-hauling. Immigration from the east is the main hope of British Columbia for increase of population. The Canadian Pacific, in this relation is greatly favoring the province. It has steadily refused to go into a combination with other roads to raise the rates overland materially. The C. P. R. most generally refuses to enter into combines with freeze- out games common down in the Yankee horse-swopping country. United States immigration statistics just issued show that among other nationalities, Italy furnished, during the last quarter of 1899, a large per cent of immigrants. The figures given are : Of Italians, 18,- 148, or 24.2 per cent, landed during the quarter. The Hebrews numbered 10,615; Poles, 6,641; Slavs, 6,226; Germans, 6,118; Scandinavians, 4,536; northern Italians, 4,- 140, and Irish, 3,741. From indications on development work Italian immigrants are finding their way into Southern British Columbia in large numbers, where their presence renders it next to an impossibility for a native born laborer to find employment under conditions that enable him to support a family, while the tariff regulations, aimed at everything but cheap labor, raises the prices of the common necessities of life. Are such conditions good for the country ?
