Among the Miners
With the trail now being built
from Norway mountain, to strike
the Columbia & Western two or
three miles above Gladstone, it
looks as though the Burnt Basin
would have direct connection with
Rossland in a chort time. It is
said that a trail is also being built
by the business men of Gladstone
to connect that town with the Norway mountain trail.
News from the Burnt Basin this
week continues to be of a, most satisfactory nature. A. J. Littlejohri,
manager of the force at work on
the Mystery group, came down from
the property yesterday with Chas.
Willarson, one of the owners. The
tunnel is now in about 90 feet, and
one lead has already been cut. In
about 20 feet more a second and
larger body is expected lo be
reached. Then a No. 2 tunnel will
hi'started some distance below No.
1, and later a third tunnel will be
driven still further (b'wn the hill.
The management are more than
pleased with the outlook and results thus far, and intend to push
the work as much as possible, two
;shift now being at work.
A short time since work was
stopped on the Ennismore, the'raen
being transferred to the Mystery,
the same people controlling both
claims. A new force will soon begin
work on the Ennismore and will
explore that claim.
Mike Shick has gone to the Lar-
do, and Mr. Alexander, from Rossland, is now iu charge of the work
on the Mother Lode. Thus far one
vein of free milling ore ha�� been
stripped for some 200 feet, and
another of high grade ore, from
five to six feet wide, has heen un
covered. Still another vein, said
to assay 13 per cent in copper, hai>
been stripped nearly 1000 feet. It
is the plan of the management now
to run a 300-foot tunhej 'for the
purpose of crogscutting these ledges.
New and commodious buildings
are being built for the accommodation of the workmen.
T. 6. Elgie, manager of the
Pleasures of Hope claim, returned
from Rowland this week and
stopped over a day in Cascade.
He is pleased with the result of the
development, thus far. the shaft being down 25 fee��, and the mineral
increasing with depth. This, claim
is under bond to the St. George
Mines Development Co., Ltd., of
Toronto, which has made one payment on the h.��nd, and has the
money in Hank for others.. All the
treasury stock of the company
offered was taken up at 25 cents,
the par value being one dollar.
Mr. Elgie believes the property will
eventually justify nil that has
haen said about it. It lies between
the Tarvmany and Mother Lode
groups.
Dan M. Clark came in on Wednesday from the Burnt Basin
where he has been working on the
Hill Top, which adjoins the well
known Tammany group. "Dan"
does not say muoh, but he evidently known a good thing when he
i-ees it. The samples that he
brought speak for themselves. He
reports a 7 foot ledge of quartz,
which has every appearance of be-
in/; rich iu values. We hope to be
able, in our next issue, to report
tbe Hill Top as one of the rich
claims of the Burnt Basin district.
A contract has been let on the
John Bull, and the contractors
Itavs begun work. The tunnel is
now in about 25 feet.
Christina Lake Mines.
Al. Peon has been doing work on
the Alphnnse, just north of Shamrock mountain, that is showing
that claim up iu splendid shape.
Those who have seen it, claim it
will surely make a mine. There
are twelve feet of ore now in  sight.
J. E. Mills was in town Wednesday, having just come down from
old Shamrock, where with W. I.
Patterson,, he has been working
the Sultana and Prudential. Mr.
Mills is quiet reticent, and believes
in letting the claims speak for
themselves, but believes he has a
good thing;.' That the values in
gold are there he found by pulverising and panning some of the ore,
the*result, being a string of colors
and some small nuggets.
The Tennessee, up Sutherland
creek, owned by J. K. Kelly and
others has a ninety-foot tunnel,
and by many is believed to be a
most meritorious property, all
four sides of the tunnel being iu
ore.
J. P. Graber has received assay
returns of $72 84 in gold and silver,
from samples of rock from the
Glen Craig claim, located about
two miles from Cascade, just above
Minton. No work has been done
yet. but the railway graders cut
the ledge for him. On the Dyke
Head, close to town, the satisfactory assay of $40^ in copper and
gold, has recently been gotten.
The claim has a tunnel to a considerable depth, having been
worked most of the winter.

and Christina lake sections, and
aims to give the most reliable information in regard to ibis fast
developing country.
LOCAL AND GENERAL.
T. P. Gaine and J. H. Good left
over the Dewdney trail for Rossland. Mr. Gaine will visit Nelson
before be returns,
��� J. I. Daniel, the stage man, says
that he will soon have two good
coaches on the route between Bossburg and Grand Forks.
The cottage of Purchasing Agent
McLeod is rapidly hearing completion, and he expects to .occupy it
with his family in another week.
Major K. G Edwards Leckie,
who negotiated the sale of the B.C.
mine, in Summit camp, for $800,-
000, was in Cascade on Thursday.
Outgoing mail, commencing tomorrow, will once more leave Cascade in the early morning, instead
of at 2 p. m. as heretofore. The
cha.nge.isa welcome one.
J. H. Blome, photographer, of
Grand Forks, bas been taking Mime
excellent views in Cascade this
week, including several of the cascades. He will be in town again
shortly and remain for some little
time.
The Lake View hotel, at McRae
Landing, on Christina lake, formerly Foster's, has been reopened
by R. 8. Pearce as manager.. Mrs.
Veitch and daughter will have
charge of the dining room. The
location is a good one, and the
house should do well.
Beautiful free gold samples do
not all come from the Burnt Basin,
as was proved this week, by a big
chunk brought down by T. F. Car-
den, the Cascade assayer, from the
Grizzly Bear claim, almost adjoining the property of the John Bull
Mines, Ltd., close to Gladstone.
Mr. Carden, accompanied by
Frank Asprey, had been making a
tour of the various promising
camps and after looking over the
splendid showings in the Burnt
Basin, had gone across to the east
side of McRae creek, where they
knew the surface indications were
of a most piomising character.
Here they secured the sample referred to from the Grizzly Bear
claim, owned by James Cameron,
and situated close to Gladstone.
The astonishing showing, of a piece
of rose quartz,, fairly,, splattertd
all over with free gold particles,
simply dazzled them at first, and
they could hardly believe their
eyes. But the yellow stuff was in
plain sight to the naked eye. It
needed no more to tell that tests
were not needed to learn that the
ore was of a very high grade character, and the piece brought down
waB admired by all.
Mr. Carden says there is a vein
of about 18 inches of this quartz,
which is so rich, and that his sample was taken from the surface.
The B. C. Mining & Mercantile
Syndicate has taken an option on
the Grizzly Bear. There are other
claims in the vicinity which it is
thought will surprise the world
with their rich showings before
long.	
JIM JEFFRIES THE WINNER.
Knocked Fitzsimmons out ia Elevei
Rounds.
The prize fight, which has heen
the talk of the sporting world for
the last few weeks took place yesterday at the Coney Island Sporting Club, near New York City
Jim Jeffries, the boilermaker,
knocked out Robert Fitzsimmons,
the blacksmith and champion
pugilist of the world.
From reports received in Cascade
by wire it was learned that eleven
rounds in all were fought by the
two big fellows, Fitzsimmons being
fairly beaten in that space of time.
Jeffries, and his friends, did not
look for the battle to last much
over 10 rounds, and their judgment proved correct. Jeffries is a
Californian and is only 24 years of
age, while Fitzsimmons is much
older, being a native of Australia. THE CASCADE RECORD

GETTING   READY   FOR   DOMINION   DAY.
Grand Forks Will Celebrate in Right Royal
Style.
There will be a big celebration
at Grand Forks on Dominion Day.
As Canada's natal day this year
falls on Saturday, the event will i e
celebrated on July 1st and 3rd.
A splendid program has been arranged for the two days celebration. Over two thousand dollars
will be distributed as prizes for the
horse races and athletic games and
sports. There will be a double hand
drilling contest, for which the first
prize of $150 will be offered and a
second prize of $50. The horse
races promise to be a very attractive feature. The events will include running races notably a two
hundred yard, three hundred yard,
a quarter mile dash, half mile
and races of five eighths of a mile.

Chose a School Site.
A meeting of those interested was
held at the townsite office Monday,
to confirm the selection, of a site for
a new school building in Cascade,
which was recently picked out by
the trustees, Messrs. Itochussen,
McRae and Ferguson. The trustees
had decided on two lots in block
32 of the original survey, which is
a sightly location just north of the
church site. This was confirmed
by the unanimous vote of the meeting.
The two lots are donated by the
owners of the townsite, and are
considered to be most desirable
property. The government estimates for this year provided for
$1,500 for school purposes in.Cascade. A goodly share of this will
doubtless be used for the erection
and furnishing of a suitable building, on which work will be started
as soon as the details are arranged.

FREE MINER'S LICENSES.
According to the latent amendments to the mineral act, the law
was 60 changed as to make all
licenses expire on May 31st, it being held that this would be in the
interest of the miners themselves
as licenses have in the past been
allowed to lapse through a forget-
fulneso of their date of expiry.
Considerable misunderstanding
has arisen as to the exact meaning
of the act, but' the intent is that
the act is to apply only to licenses
taken out after the law went into
operation. Here is what Attorney-
General Martin says on this precise point:
"The 'Placer Mining Act Further
Amendment act' was carefully
drawn and if I had to draw it
again I would not change a word
of it. Licenses issued before the
act comes into force are unquestionably good for the term for
which they were taken out, and
those who have taken nut extra
licenses in the fear that they might
have lost their properties have
just been contributing so much to
the revenue gratuitously. There is
a saving clause in the act but even
without that clause there would be
no reason to fear that the
licenses would have been rendered
invalid. The act only applies to
licenses issued after the act came
into operation. This should be
clear to anyone who reads it over.
For my own part 1 may say that
I'm holding some property on a
license taken out in February last.
It has not been renewed, nor will
it be until the proper time���and
I'd like to see someone jump my
claim 1"
000D MEN LEFT OUT.
The recent cancellation of all appointments of justices of the peace
throughout the province, and the
appointment of 401 persons to the
same positions, is far from satisfactory, even to government organs.
It was evident that the plan was
one intended largely to reward
party workers and tn let out those
not included in the list. The most
pronounced government supporters
in the press of the province are
most severe in their condemnation
of the general results of this move.
For instance, here is the way the
Greenwood Times handles the subject:
"Had the government placed the
names of the electors in a h;it and
extracted therefrom the number
necessary   to   make up the list of
newly elected justices of the peace,
the appointments would have given
greater satisfaction. A more unsuitable job lot of appointments could
not be imagined. Under the new
order of things Princeton containing two or three houses and about
double that number of residents
has six justices of the peace, while
Greenwood has none, and Midway
none. The nearest justice of the
peace to the city is Charles Hay of
Columbia. James Kerr, than
whom there was not a more con-
sciencious nor more intelligent justice in the country, is not included
in there-appointments. The only
possible reason for this is that Mr
Kerr did yeoman t-erviee in securing the election of a supporter of
the present government.
"The truth is that the present
government is composed of about
as poor a lot of politicians as can
be found anywhere. All the details that go to make a party strong
are neglected and everything is
centralized in the Hon. Joseph
Martin Members who know the
wants and requirements of their
respective districts are not consulted and every act of the government creates dissatisfaction. The
duties of the members are limited
to acting as Voting machines in the
house and apologists fur political
blunders in their constituencies.
If the government is'to escape disaster it must be disciplined by its
supporters. Its members must be
taught to recognize that they are
the leaders of a party only when
they carry out the wishes of the
party. Under present conditions
the rank and file have nothing to
do but attempt to justify actions
that they know are politically foolish and ill-timed."
One of the busiest spots these
early summer days is tbe office of
Mining Recorder Almond, atGrand
Forks. As a rule, one must stand
in line for a hour or two to receive
attention in turn. If a sub-recording office was established in Cascade, with a careful experienced
officer, it would relieve the.recorder
and be a ureat convenience to hundreds of prospectors.
Last winter the oppoMtion press
of the province howled long and
loud against the anti-Japanese legislation and the alien placer law,
saying it would surely be disallowed by the BVderal government.
The government press pooh-poohed
the idea, but last Monday it was
disallowed, as predicted, because
the Imperial government stated it
was inimical to the best interests
of the Empire. It remains to he
seen what the outcome of the alien
placer act will be.
It must be interesting to the politicians who, twenty years ago,
prophesied that the C. P. R., would
not earn enough money "to pay
for its axle grease," to note that
the Btock of the great corporation
is now quoted above par in the
money markets of the world. The
then claimed absurdity of its run
ning through British Columbia, "a
sea of mountains," is proving to be
a boomerang of the most agreeable
type to the stockholders.
NOTE AND COMMENT.
Business considerations have
forced the Loudon newspapers to
give up their Sunday editions.
The hardworked employees will
thank their lucky stars for this.
The French people have demanded the release of Dreyfus, convicted
of selling military secrets to the
Germans, and the prisoner is now
on the way home. So complete
are the changes of sentiment in
France that it would not be surprising if Dreyfus became its president one of these days.        ;   ,
In the annual report of the minister of mines, less than one page
is devoted to the Grand Forks
mining division. The north fork
of Kettle river and Christina lake
camps are barely mentioned. Of
course the country is new but the
Record will predict that, if the
provincial minerolbgist visits this
section during the fiscal year, the
next report will'show a very different state of affairs
For several seasons, according to
the New Westminister Sun, experiments have been made in sprinkling some Eastern roadbeds with
petroleum to lay the dust. Recently driveways have been sprinkled
in this way. The cost is said to be
comparatively light, as the oil lays
the dust effectually and for weeks
at a time. The British Columbia
system of street sprinkling for a
month past has shown that it possesses all -these advantages. The
dust has been laid for several weeks
now and it hasn't cost anybody a
cent.
The effort of the Rossland Board
of Trade, to secure an additional
representative in the Dominion
parliament for the Kootenays, will
meet with general approval. In the
redistribution bill as brought down,
British Columbia was left out in
the cold. This province is also
unrepresented in the Dominion
cabinet, notwithstanding its growing importance. These things are
bound to be changed, as the importance of British Columbia
gradually but surely asserts
itself.

Everyone in town was startled
by the ringing of the tire alarm
last Thursday morning, but fortunately the incipient Maze was put
out before serious consequences ensued. It should be a plain lesson,
however, to the few in Uuscmle who
have thus far failed to place barrels of water on their roofs, as requested by the tire wardens. A
pailful or two of Kettle river liquid,
at the right time, might save many
thousands of dollars worth of
property.
Several weeks since Jack Stewart had a valuable horse stolen
from the stable in Cascade, though
no effort was spared to recover the
animal, thus far they have been
without success. It also appears
that recently a number of similar
thefts have'occurred, but until
this week no trace of the thieves
was found. Thursday, however,
four men were arrested at Pull
man, a small town south of Spokane, in the Palouse country, the
names said to he Harry I'oole, two
Hoskins brothers and one VVauson,
having three four-horse teams, one
two-horse team, four wagons, a
trail wagon, harness, etc., in their
possession. It in said that the
outfits were stolen from Greenwood on May 22, the prisoners
being the freighters in charge.
They drove across the line, through
the Okanogan, through central
Washington and down into tho
Pamuse country, a distance of 1200
miles.     They * were   tracked   by
Thomas McNeil, who claims to be
the owner of the stolen property,
and are now in custody awaiting
requisition papers.
Hoskins has been freighting
through this country for some time
and is well known in Cascade. The
B. C. store attached his outfit some
time ago on a merchandise account
for $600, which was paid into
court pending the result of the
action.
It is to be hoped that, if the
charge is proven, the horse thieves
will get a speedy and heavy sentence., In the state of Washington
it is well known that horse stealing is a crime for which a severe
penalty is meted out. We have no
room on this side of the border for
that kind of people, and the sooner
they realise this the better for all
concerned.
The Record was the only paper
in this section last week that contained the announcement of the
taking over of the International
Flyer stage line by the Columbia
Stage Company. It appears, how
ever, that the stockholders of the
Marcus & Republic Transportation
and Express Company, the corporation owning the Flyer, are all
at outs over the sale, and thereby
hangs a tale, with several amusing
and interesting chapters. During
the week several exciting episodes
have taken place, and all the details, if gathered and published,
would make spicy reading for the
general public.
J. I. Daniel, a large dtockholder
in the old Flyer line, seriously objects to to the transfer of stock,
stages, harness and other ictas to
the Columbia Stage Company, and
of cuui>e has the bucking of U rand
Forks, the people of which did
everything to help the new line
along. He claims ownership in
some of the outfit and has tried to
retain it, but thus far Manager
Rogers, of the Columbia line, has
come out ahead in the fight.
Messrs. Plummer and Ridpath of
the M. & R. Co., secured an order
from a Spokane court restraining
Daniels from interfering. On
Tuesday, four Flyer horses, claimed
by Daniel, were driven down to
Toulou's, but Daniel ordered them
brought hack to this side of the
line. This was done and the animals were tied to trees just north
of Russell. Wednesday an exciting raGe occurred between Daniel
and Rogers to get to the horses
firit. At Hall's Rogers jumped on
a saddle horse, got to Russell
ahead, secured the horses and
brought them to the barn in Cascade. The two men nearly came
to blows here, and it is said did
have an encounter at the Forks
In the meantime. W. A. Ragsdale.
acting for Daniel, was arrested in
Bossburg for bringing the horses
hack to British soil.
It is probable that the controversy will be thoroughly aired in
the courts, and also that the Grand
Forks people, thoroughly opposed
to anything that savors of Columbia, will move heaven and earth
to establish a new stage line to run
to Bossburg.
While the counter injunctions
are pending in the courts between
the Kaslo & Slocan and the C. P.
R. in regard to building their new
lines through the Duncan pass, to
get into the Lardo country, both
roads have large forces at work on
other portions of the line, some
800 men altogether being employed.
Duncan City and Argenta are consequently lively points at present.
