CHRISTINA LAKE MINES A Spokane Capitalist Invests Liberally in Local Mining Properties. E. L. TATE SECURES CONTROL OF FOUR Claims oi Christina Lake--Flve-olaths la Champion, Heleoa No. 2 and Mlonleball Fraction Two-thirds la Crackerjack, and One-fourth ia Qranitc Butte. Last week a hig deal was consummated hy which title to five-ninths interest in the mining claims known as the Champion, Helena No. 2, Minnieball Fraction; one-fourth interest in Granite Butle and two-thirds interest in Cracker Jack, located in what is known as Christina lake district, passed from J. W. O'Brien to E. L. Tate of Spokane, a man of large means, and already engaged in mining development. These claims are, we understand, all contiguous to each other, and extend from the lake eastward up Baker creek, hetween McRae and Sutherland creeks, all of which streams dehouche into the lake. These claims have been more or less prospected already. There are' a great many rich mining claims in the basins of all the streams emptying into Christina lake, all of which are commanding the attention, to a greater or lesser extent, of various, investors in min-, ing properties. The Record is informed that it is the intention of the purchaser to commence systematic work on several of the properties. Taking into consideration the great amount of prospecting and developing work now in progress along the lake shore, up the creeks which flow into it, on Shamrock and Castle mountains, one must conclude that sooner or later one or all of these centers will at no distant day become the scene of mining activities on a grand scale. No better prospects are found anywhere. Heretofore the owners have been, are yet, largely, men without means to turn their prospects into mines. These conditions are gradually changing���as fast as the einglehanded persistency of original owners can develop their claims with limited means. D. C. Beach was in town Sunday from the Victoria mine, on Christina lake, south of McRae creek and opposite Lighthouse Point. He has been prosecuting work on his tunnel contract steadily all winter. He is now in on the ledge 70 feet, and has from 80 to 35 feet to run yet to reach the ore shoot. When his contract is completed the entire length of the tunnel will lie 112 feet. Mr. Beach says the ore revealed is improving with every blast. The Record was informed Tuesday that the Tate syndicate had also purchased a half interest in the Victoria for 1)150,000, and an important condition of the sale was that the purchasing parties agreed lo expend one half of the purchase price, or $25,000. in development work immediately. If this report be founded ou fact, it may be said this is one of the most important mining deals that has taken place in Christina lake mining district, and portends much for Cascade, as there is no doubt that the Victoria, when thoroughly exploited, will prove a very rich properly, and the effect will be to give an impetus to mining transactions all along the lake and the various creeks. Should this he the result, which is very probable, our city will put on an air of: activity that will paralyze the local pessimists. WILL BUILD A RAILROAD. Toronto Capitalists Will be Granted a Charter by OrdeHa-CounclL A special dispatch to the Nelson Tribune from Victoria, under date of April 17, says that Hon. Smith Curtis has confirmed the statement that the government proposes to issue an order-in-council under {the Tramway Incorporation Act to authorize Toronto capitalists to build a tramway to serve the purpose of the Kettle River railway project. He said he had suggested this course. It will be made a condition that the builders must sell the road to the government on application, and the government will take steps to post themselves on the exact cost. A Rock Falls oa Domlnlck Csroose. Thursday morning Dominick Caroose was brought to town on an improvised stretcher from tbe flume works of the Water Power Co. A rock had rolled from the face of the cut above onto him, bruising his right leg below the knee severely. He was taken to his boarding house and a physician summoned from Grand Forks.

It is the declaration of the returning officer in an election held at the town of York, now Toronto, on the 19th of October, 1830, "in the first year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord, William the Fourth." It declared that William Batsford Jarvis was elected to represent York in the Parliament to meet in that town during the same month. The reluming officer was Claude Gamble, father of Mr. Gamble, and the successful candidate was the grandfather of Chief of Police Jarvis. There were nine signatures in all on the document, and of those whose names were on it only Mr. Gamble still lives. He is 94 years of age, snd an interesting fact is that his signature now is exactly the same as it was 69 years ago when he declared Mr. Jarvis elected. The document was loaned to Mr. A. G. Gamble by A. B. Jarvis, the chief's father, who is now in Nelson.���Nelson Miner. Of Canadian Soldiers. A correspondent with the Canadian contingent at Bloemfontein, under date of April 15th, cables as follows : "Captain Beattie, Toronto, formerly of the Queen's Own Rifles, and Private R. Harrison of the Montreal Garrison Artillery, died to-day of enteric fever. Beattie had been ill since March 29th. Just before he was stricken down he was transferred to A company as acting color sergeant. The following sick and wounded have sailed for England, by steamer Donne Castle, March 24th : T. Pep- peat, Quebec company; Corporal T. P. R. Tappeau, Montreal company; Private H. J. D. Andrews, Western company; Privates R. H. M. McLaughlin, S. M. Ward and James Kennedy, Toronto company. By steamer Oratavia, March 31st: Corporal James Smith, London company; Private A. S. Batson, Western company; Private J. H. Sutton, Toronto company; Private MacAuley, Ottawa company. Lieutenant MacDonald arrived here to-day from Canada and ie posted with the Quebec company. The whole regiment is being fitted with new clothing and accoutrements." Nearly 24,000 British troops have been put out of action���killed wounded, sick and missing. A dispatch to the London Daily News from Pretoria, says a Russian prince was killed at the same with General Mareuil. AN AIRY OF AM MEN Ready Under Lord Roberts to Hard oi Pretoria. TROOPS REPORTED IN Q00D CONDITION The Advance Northward from Bloemfoatiea Will Begia Soon la Two Parallel Col- umaf'Roberts Severely Criticises Bailer aad Warreo���May Be Recalled. London, April 19,���At last General Roberts seems to be on the eve of making his main advance toward Pretoria. Unless all the usually reliable sources of information and indications smuggled past the censor are at fault, the British armv within the next few days will be marching northward. There is even in the best informed circles considerable hesitancy in settling upon, the day Lord Roberta ie likely lo leave Bloemfontein, but there iB a settled impression that it will occur either at the end of this week or the first of next. Long, weary waiting in the Free State capital has apparently effected much needed rehabilitation, and the necessity of advancing is seen in the Boer activity which compels Roberts to proceed northward to preserve strategic advaiitages. Critics agree in the supposition that the advance will be made in parallel columns with a broad front west ot the railroad, the Third and Eighth divisions sweeping northward to the extreme northwest, the entire force amounting to 75,000 men. In his reports to the war office,. Gen. Roberts deals severely with Generals Warren and Buller. He points out that General Warren seems to have concluded after consultation with his officers, that the flanking movement ordered by Gen. Buller was impracticable,and therefore so changed the plan of operations as to necessitate the capture and retention of Spion Kop. Roberts says: "As Warren considered it impossible to make the flanking movement recommended, if not actually prescribed in the secret instructions, he should have acquainted Buller with his proposed action.'* Regarding withdrawal of troops from Spion Kop, Lord Roberts says: "I regret to be unable to agree with Buller in thinking Thornycroft exercised wise discretion in ordering the troops lo retire, l am of the opinion that Thornycroft's assumption of responsibility and authority was wholly inexcusable." The Canadian Patriotic Fund now amounts to $240,000. THE CASCADE RECORD April SI, IMS NECESSITY FOR RAILWAY COMPETITION. To the Editor: Your corres- p&ndent Mr. Simpson is a thrifty theorist, and his beliefs that the C. P. R. is a philanthropic institution and Mr. Shaughnessy the Guardian Angel of the Boundary country are worthy of note. When Mr. Simpson has converted his many theories into a little practice he may change his views, In replying to his bald and unconvincing array of theoretic dogmatisms I will endeavor to confine myself to actual commercial facts and experiences. Please excuse my stating that I am considerably interest ed in one private firm shipping railwise 20,000 tons per annum and part proprietor of another which pays freight on 30,000 tons. Mr. Simpson is I belieye a professional man. He contends that freight competition has a tendency to increase prices. Let us see I There are three railroads between Liverpool and Manchester. After long competition these roads are, to ordinary observers hide-bound by their agreements under the Associated Carriers Corporation. One of them is the L. & N. W. Ry, a gigantic success; another the M, S. & L. (oft times called the Money Sunk & Lost) and the third the L. & Y. One of these corporations has for years allowed us as a secret trade inducement free use of an enormous fire proof warehouse; another, entirely privately, four miles free hauling; and a third, equally surreptitiously, longdistance first-class contract tickets. Mr. Simpson argues, and apparently believes, that if only one of these roads existed, we might expect from it all the above luxuries and lower freight rates besides. ���Beau Brummell's reply to the man who called him Mr. Smith : "Sir, you if believe that you would believe anything," may be commended in Mr. Simpson's case. But in spite of their great railroad facilities the commercial men of Manchester were dissatisfied. They believed better and cheaper service could be secured, and in face of tremendous opposition the Ship Canal Bill was at last passed. Furthermore, in spite of appalling financial and engineering difficulties the canal was actually constructed. There was a slight mistake in the estimates; what was expected to cost ��6,000,000, needed ��17,000,000. One of the biggest financial fiascoes and the greatest of engineering feats of this century were simultaneously achieved. This is a direct case in point for Mr. Simpson. He says: "In the long run it increases rates to build competing lines, as the competing lines must either stop running or the people served must pay the expense of running all of them." According to Mr. Simpson the canal ought either to have "stopped running" or conspired with its fellow carriers to "simply charge such rates as will pay the running expenses and interest on cost." It has done neither; it cannot, and no one but a deluded theorist would ever expect it to. On the contrary, its mere existence caused a reduction of rates, which resulted in an enormous saving to freight-payers, $12,000 per annum being my own firm's share. The world ought to be strewn with disused railroads, according to Mr. Simpson's theories, but somehow they are hard to find, and it will doubtless astonish your correspondent to learn that the commercial men of Liverpool and Manchester are again taking horrid chances and submitting to the construction of yet another road. Mr. Simpson says "railroad owners are not such fools as to rnn them at a loss when by a friendly agreement they can avoid doing so." Indeed 1 Are there no such losses, or are the friendly agreements scarcer and the fools more numerous than Mr. Simpson believes ? There are admittedly friendly agreements now between the C. P. R. and certain U. S. lines as to through freights, there are also certain other still more 'friendly agreements" with freight payers, which I need not here particularize, beyond remarking that 25 per cent covers a multitude of tins. Improved methods and reduced cost of construction find no place in Mr. Simpson's platform. It is only about a dozen years since the Mersey Railway was built and today experienced engineers offer to duplicate that road at half its original cost. Yet the new road would need to charge increased rates according to Mr, Simpson, which is of course absurd. A Kettle River Valley road connecting the Spokane Falls & Northern with Cascade would cost about one tithe of the Robson-Cas- cade route which was expensive to construct and is costly to maintain, and Robson and Bossburg being common points the American line could afford to cut existing rates considerably, secure the trade and earn the profit. Competition is the soul of business, competition and its satellites,improved methods, have together brought the local smelter rate from $11 down to $4.50 and will bring it still lower. Mr. Shaughnessy's statement that he could well afford to charge less if he had a monopoly of the Boundary freight may sound logical in un-commercial ears, but there is certainly not a merchant or mineowner in this region who feels disposed to consider such claptrap as anything but the veriest nonsense. It is just that kind of a story that Rockefeller may have one day told about his Standard Oil and to-day the American people pay for that oil four times as much as the Britisher (with Nobel as a friend) gets it at; it was probably that kind of a terra diddle that Carnegie may have foisted off on unsuspicious lay minds, to-day he "can well afford" to charge the United States government $300 per ton more for armor plate than foreigners get it for. That's his interpretation of "interest on the cost of construction" coupled with a chance for profit. May I close with another writer's views on this matter published in a recent number of the Canadian Mining Record. "It behooves the Government to do everything possible to foster railroad and smelter competition in the Province. It would result in the building of many smelters and refineries and give to the prospectors and mineowners the transportation and smelting facilities which can only come with railway and smelter competition." The Government ownership of railroads, so long as it can be made universal and not piece meal throughout Canada, is a consummation devoutly desired; at present we are a long way from that achievement, indeed all we can boast of iB a pitiful example of a railroad-owned government.

NOTE AND COMMENT. Are the people to have a printed copy of the voters' list ? They have heen in the hands of campaign steerers for some time. Grand Forks is endoavoring to have the provincial Liberal fon- vention held in that city. ' The action of its local Liberal association precludes such an event. Some men are so good they look just like angels, with one slight ex ception, ttbsenceof wings, all efforts to sprout or .araft them having failed utterly. This failure is fatal to their angelic aspirations. The commercial man who thinks he is saving money by not advertising himself and his wares, will always remain at the bottom of the ladder which leads up to fame and wealth. He is penny wise and pound foolish. Mayor A. S. Goodeve, Dr. E. Bowes and Messrs. Alexander Dick and A. Sharp of Rossland, have been in the Boundary country this week, extolling the virtues and presenting the claims of the conservative candidate for M. P. P. honors in this riding, Hon. C. H. Macintosh. The Greenwood Daily Times, usually a very good and readable newspaper, is suffering just now from a severe attack of anti-Martin- phobin, a disease epidemic at present in this province. It is said the attack was brought on by an overdose of anti-Martini exchanges. It even becomes hysterical a ttimes. Hon. C. H. Mackintosh, immediately after he received the nomination at Rossland for member of the provincial parliament from this riding, took his departure for the east. Possibly Mr. Macintosh has had an experience with impecunious candidate boomers heretofore, and, taking time by the forelock, has fled the country to escape their importunities. The Conservatives of this province have resolved to move on party lines, and there is no other course left for the Liberals but to follow suit, for they will be no where in the outcome of the election now on unless they do. There can be no stable government in the province until party lines are adopted, and one or the other of the fiarties held responsible for legis- ativeacts. The reported lowering of the Dominion Express Co.'s rates applies only to through charges between Robson and the western terminus of the C. P. R. Local rates, or from intermediate points, remain the same���extravagantly steep. Nothing so retards the growth of new regions as unreasonably high transportation charges, whether they are exacted by railway or express companies. An article that costs five cents at retail in Vancouver or Rossland, should not cost fifteen cents here. In such case, either the transportation companies or the merchants, or both, are taking more than a fair profit. This is an inopportune time for any candidate to seek the suffrages of the voters of the Boundary on a platform that hedges in "glittering generalities" in its statement of principles. The temper of the people on the railroad question, due to the defeat "of the Kettle River Valley charter application, will brook no uncertain declaration on that score. In Rossland, Nelson and the Slocan districts the same is the case as between the miners and the mineowners. To trot out an old riddle, as a platform, on which any kind of a tune can be played, will not pass muster in this riding. i\-i- BRIEF LOCAL MENTION Who stole C. H.' Thomas' brand new turkey-eggs ? Dick Darrow reports a rich find on Castle mountain opposite town. Travel by way of the Bossburg- Cascade stage line is increasing. Some days it is found necessary to run two coaches. J. T. Lawrence, trainmaster on the Columbia & Western, savs the passenger service on this line will shortly be greatly improved by the putting on of new passenger coaches. The purpose of the Liberal meeting tonight is, mainly, to select a delegate to attend the Liberal convention to be held in Rossland next Thursday, April 26, to nominate a candidate from this riding for member of the provincial assembly. Voting at primary meetings and at elections are the times only when the people can have a hand in governmental affairs. Those who do not improve these opportunities have no right to complain of bad government. While delivering a trunk for a new arrival in the Bon-Ton section, James Glaiser suffered a severe sprain of one of his ankles, and a rattling tumble. In removing the trunk from the wagon, his team became frightened and ran away. The wagon and harness were more or leas broken. The horses narrowly escaped going into the river over a high embankment. While this hit of out of the ordinary commotion was attracting the attention of some, others were rushing to the home of Mrs. Scott, in answer to the cry of "Fire!" Luckily an incipient blaze in the roof near the flue was speedily extinguished, else there would have been no Cascade on the map now. The Liberals of Grand Forks, al a meeting held last Wednesday evening passed a resolution against party lines, and one proposing to support Hon. Smith Curtis for the assembly if he would fall in with the present fad of British Columbia journalists, and cuss his present chief, Hon. Joseph Martin. Mr. Curtis will not do that we trow, and it is not a manly thing to ask of him. And thus is more mud thrown into the already muddy pool of politics in the province. This is the time for political jobbers. While the people are split into innumerable factions, the jobbers will get in their fine work and come out on top. DOMINION SUPPLY CO. SELLS OUT. BENEFIT ENTERTAINMENT/ D. D. Ferguson and R. 0. Ritchie the Pup chasers. The rumor prevalent in town last week relative to the sale of the Do minion Supply Co.'s store to local parties, has proven this week to have been well founded, though the final transactions in the matter did not take place till Thursday night. Mr. D. D. Ferguson and Mr. R. G. Ritchie, two well-known and highly respected citizens of Cascade are the purchasers. As the town grows so will their alread profitable business, and The Record bespeak* for the new firm a prosperous future. Official List of Voters in Rossland Riding.

Hector McPherson Says He's In It The political fight in the Rossland constituency promises to be keener and more, complicated than at first expected in the conservative ranks. Mr. Hector McPherson is in the field. He it a staunch Conservative, and has been so all his life, and while his candidature will be conducted on non-party lines, his standing in the party and bis popularity with his fellow citizens will draw him many votes if the party managers do not hustle bim out of the field. Mr. McPherson said to a reporter of the Miner: "I have been urged to stand for tbe riding repeatedly not only by men of undoubted influence in Rossland but also in the Boundary country, and some of those who are here as delegates from Grand Forks, Greenwood and other places in the Boundary are;.aiming ��iy warmest friends and supporters. I have decided to let my name come before the electors, and I am sure of a large and loyal support. My candidature will be a non-party one, and in the interest of the people as a whole as opposed to class interests and I shall issue my platform in a few days, and am satisfied that it will appeal to the intelligence and meet with the favor of every citizen who is loyal to this district. I am in the field to stay until the last vote is polled, and I confidently expect I will be returned. You can announce this to the electors in tomorrow's issue of your paper if you so desire." The 50 recruits called for the Strathcnna Horse will be 'selected from Western Canada. Another Big Bonndary Scheme. Last Saturday morning a party of engineers commenced making preliminary surveys for the line of the Greenwood & Phoenix Tramway company, from Greenwood to Phoenix, a distance of seven miles. George H. Collins, secretary of the company said: "The approximate cost of -seven miles is $150,000. We shall build branches .into Greenwood, Dead? wood, Wellington and Summit camps, and between here and Midway on the international boundary line to connect with the Great Northern. Over half a million dollars is required and the money is being invested by prominent American railroad men who are shareholders in the local company. We will push the wor^'to^ speedy completion. Arrangements have been completed with the Cascade Light & Power Company for a supply of electricity by long distance transmission. Duncan Mcintosh president of the company, is now east purchasing materia! for the tramway. '��������� The undertaking has heen kept quiet until a charter was obtained. This road means competition for the Boundary and we-have the funds to build it." The promoters are Duncan Mcintosh, George H. Collins, Duncan Ross and Ronald Harris, M. E. E. McCammon and Professor Richards, who purchased the Lucky Strike claim, on Gilpin's ranch, six miles from Cascade, and who have staked two adjoining claims, believe they have struck a winner. P.

The Redistribution of the constituencies on tbe basis of population, allowing to sparsely populated districts a proportionately larger representation than to populous districts and cities. 4. The enactment of an accurate system of Government scaling of logs, and its rigid enforcement. 5. The re-enactment of the dis. allowed Labor Regulation Act, 1898, and also all the statutes of 1899. containing anti-Mongolian clauses if disallowed as proposed by the Dominion Government" 6.

With regard to the Eight- hour Law the Government will continue to enforce the law as it stands.

The Canadian Pacific telegraph line has been completed to Midway. The smelter cough is snid to lie present in Grand Porks to an alarming extent. Operator 0. W. Dey, of Robson, will probably be placed in charge of the station at Midway. The firm of Olsen & Phelan, general merchants of Greenwood, have assigned for the benefit of their creditors. Customs Officer Geo, C. Rose, of Cascade, visited in Grand Forks Sunday and Monday, being the guest of F. A. Sinclair. On Easter Sunday, indicative of a new life, Nature was adorned in her new spring attire here, which inspired the romantic to romance. F. A. Sinclair, .of Grand Forks, was in Cascade Sunday. "Doc" is a jolly good fellow, and made his *tay here pleasant for all his old time friends whom he met. A report has gained credence in Cascade that Dr. Sinclair, of Rossland, will he a candidate before the Liberal convention to meet in that city next Thursday, April 26. ���X- -S- Hubbard raffled off a small hog Saturday evening, realizing about $55 above expenses. James Nesbitt became possessed of his swineship by virtue of a dice throw. Rev. D. A. Stewart, for some months past Presbyterian missionary, with headquarters at Phoenix, left on Thursday last for Winnipeg where he will take a three-years' theological course at the Manitoba university. The Liberal Conservative Association of Grand Forks selected these delegates to the convention at Rossland: George Fraser, Jeff Divis, R. F. Petrie, E. Miller and Charles Cummings; alternates, W. B. Fisher and W. F. Agnew. It did not take Hon Smith Curtis long to settle the labor trouble in Rossland. It is now said that both sides are agreeably surprised at the benefit derived from that settlement. The contract system gives both employer and employe better results. Freighting bjjjlie Bossburg-Cas- cade road is increasing. It is no uncommon thing to see from eight to ten four-horse teams halted in front of the customs office here at one time, and several times a Meek. From one to a dozen teams pass through town daily. Most of this freight is billed for Republic. We were misinformed or mis- Supply We Company ARE Headquarters for Groceries and Vegetables. Out AIM is to carry the Best of Everything.

CASCADE CITY, BRITISH COLUMBIA understood our informant, last week with regard to the camping tour of Mr. Roderick McRae into the Similkameen. He will not be accompanied by his family as stated in The Record, the other members of which will remain here until Mr. McRae returns. Citizens of Grand Forks who visit Cascade say it is very quiet in their town���not much doing. For all of that, Grand Forks must certainly have huge piles of money��� to throw to the birds as it were. Just now they are prewiring to expend $10,000,000 or $15,000,000 in scooping out a three-mile tunnel through Hardy mountain. Perhaps some of the Grand Forks millionaires might be interested in a scheme to tunnel under the ocean to somewhere beneath Oom Paul and his whole outfit, pull the earth from beneath him and capture the old duffer that way. Mr. D. C. Beach has taken in hand a contract for a certain amount of development work on the Round Tower claim belonging to the B. C. M. & M. Synd. Ltd., and adjoining the Victoria on Christina lake. The Victoria, as evidenced by the financial transactions which have recently taken place, has passed the doubtful state and in the minds of competant observers may now be unhesitatingly described as a mine. Signs are not wanting that the Round Tower is also a- property which will in the near future attract some attention and prove of great merit. The proximity of both claims to the railway is a welcome feature. Wm. Brown has been creating a cloud of smoke and dust on hid homestead between the railroad and the river this week. He is clearing a couple of acres of land which he will plant to potatoes. There iB enough good farming land within a short distance of Cascade to make garden truck, eggs and poultry in this market reasonable in price. The range for live stock is practically unlimited and bunch grass abundant. In case of an open season like last winter, stoke thrives without shelter. A dozen hay farms could be made within from one to six miles of Cascade,'which opportunities will not long go unappreciated. Then will come fresh "homemade" lieef and dairy products, and our citizens will not have to endure the privations and extortionate demands consequent upon the present necessity of importation of these products. J. Nelson, of Rossland, commited suicide at Northport Tuesday morning last by shooting himself in the mouth.
