Tuesday morning the ladies of the party were driven to Fort Steele where they will visit a few days with friends. The visit of Mr. Maun has been looked forward to wiih great interest hy the people of Cranbrook, and several railroad contractors, since it was understood that on \h\s coming depended the final decision, as to when work would commence on the branch toad tbat is to be built from Craubrook to the North Star mine, in which Mr. Mann is heavily interested. A representative of The Hera_,d had a brief Interview with the gentleman justjbefore he departed for the mine iu company with Mr. Curran, business manager of the North Star Mining company. He said that he had never been in Cranbrook befote, and hadjiot seen his mine for two years. -'What is going to be done relative to work on the branch''" "That I cannot tell at this time. It will, however, be settled this week as to when work will begin. I want to see the mine and see bow much ore we have got in sight before I do anything else.1' "Is there any question about the route?" "I know nothing about that, as It has beeu bo long'since I have been here. I cannot say anything about the Hue located, as I am not Informed." Mr. Mann then spoke of the weather and a few other matters that had no bearing whatever on the branch road, and a few minutes later jumped into a buggy and left for the mine. He expects to return to Cranbrook next Saturday or Sunday. Aa Easy Roid to Build. The work of locating the line according to MUWjf" **___S 1uy jK;l_Jioeer_tlc*J: ardson will be completed this week.

MINES AND MINING. 8 THE LAST SPIKE DRIVEN The Unfortunate Experience of Mr. Cross- dale Receotly. Mr. Crossdale, representing the Halls Mines company, met with an experience some two weeks ago that nearly cost him his life, and may yet result fatally. He wauted to go to Cranston where he was to meet Mr. Proctor, another representative of the company. He took the train at Cranbrook in the evening and arrived at Cranston after dark. The one hotel there is located back from the railroad a short distance and to reach It one must pass through a narrow strip of limber, Mr. Crossdale got turned around and soon found himself complete* ly lost In the woods. The night was quite cold aud he had no wraps or blankets. He tramped around until be was worn out and uot until daylight did he find tbe hotel, and then he was nearly exhausted. The gentleman Is a little past middle age, snd the exposure proved too much. He was taken down sick aud after io days was taken back to Nelson by the way of Macleod. The Herald Does S *£ dt S Fine Job Work The People of South Eaat Kootenay Do Not Favor tbe Move. It is evident from the result of the vote taken last Thursday on tbe prohi bi tion plebescite, that the people of South East Kootenay are nearly all of one mind regarding tbe question. Through. out the district the vote was very light, and the majority returned at each polling place was overwhelmingly against prohibition. At some of the precincts, no votes were cast, and at all the others the vote was very light The returns were as follows: For Aj-iiiimi Cranbrook . - - - n 17 Wardner I K Port Steele • - • • M M Kimberly « 4 Mnyla 1 _ Building Notes. The Perdue block is now ready for occupancy. Work is progressing in good shape on the Aikin block. An addition is being built to the St. Charles restaurant Work is being pushed on the block that is being erected by Mclnnes & Co J. C. Brown's new jewelry store is nearly completed. It ia going to be a very neat and attractive place. The addition to the Cranbrook hotel is rapidly nearlng completion. The fronts are being placed in the two lower rooms. The store building that is to be occupied hy the Fort Steele Mercantile company, is about completed. It will be one I of the very best in South East Kootenay. It is estimated that Rossland will soon be shipping lo.ouo Ions of ore a week. The Empire mineral claim on Sand creek, known as the Major Steele property, is being surveyed. O.J. Johnson is now developing the Aurora claim on the west shore of Moyie lake. He has a 60-foot tunnel witb a good showing of ore. McVittle iv Hutchison say that they are convinced ihat the mineral belt extending inst from Archie McLeod'l j.lace, will in the near future add seveml shipping mines to South Bast Kootenay. Pr. John Bouiall Porter, head professor of mining and metallurgy nt Mi-Gill's university of Montreal 1 is now making n tour through West Kootenny, and will return to Kast Kootenay this month, and will visit Cranbrook. The professor is anxious lo gain a more thorough information, of mining conditions in the Kootetiays. Mr. Sprague, one of the best known mining men iu South Kast Kootenay, and one who has done as much as anv man iu British Columbia for this part of the Province, paid hi-* first visit lo Cranbrook last Saturday. A year ago Mr. Sprague did yoeinan service in llie States spreading the knowledge of this district's richness, and thousands of iol* lars have been invested here as a result of his work. Moyie Leader: The 70 ton ore bill at lhe Lake Shore mine is finished and lhe trestle for the car truck is well under way. Work hi the tunnel will begin about Monday. , . W, J. Tierney relumed from Craubrook Friday. He was over to inspect the workings on the Gertrude and Kmtiia claims, Which art- located about five miles from lli.it place, near the" Union Jack mine, and owned by himself aud Charles Diamond, Work to the extent of a 12-foot shaft has been done and there Is uow a 6 foot ledge of excellent looking quartz in sight. Jerry Murphy brought a fine sample of ore iuto THE HERALD office this Sjgek, It is from the Copperine, one of IheTwin claims owned by j. R. Harvey and himself on Perry creek, about four miles from old town, and eight or nine miles from Craubrook. It is from the surface and shows heavy streaks of copper, while au assay gives over $10 in total value. Jerry says that they have got a large body and that it grows better us depth is secured. They will develop* tbe property next spring, and f_el confident that they have a good thing. Mr. Kean, who is extensively interested on Tracy creek, drove in Saturday, com- ine dlrert to Cranbrook. Speaking of that district, Mr. Kean said: "Cranbrook would do well to look for tbe business In that section. The government road from Bummers Flat to Tracer has just been completed at a cost of ttioo, A road could be easily secured from Cranbrook to Tracy. Going from Crrnbrook to the Mission the road is uow all ready for travel. From the Mission it Is a level stretch down the St. Marys to hummers Flat, and there you strike lhe new road to Tracy. This route is eight miles nearer than around by the way of l-'ort Steele, aud no hills except the one at the Misslou. There will be plenty of business from there this winter and next summer from the Estella mine, also camps on Lewis creek, Wasa, Luroy and Speculators, Several of these will be shippers, ond it would pay Cranbrook lo have tbe ferry put in again for use ou this road." The North Star. The North Star mine, owned by D. D. Mann, has been a constant shipper for tbe part three years, snys the Fort Steele Prospector. The development work consists of about 1500 feet of tunnels, drifts; and shafts. A new hoist has been placed on the property during the past week. Ou the 22-foot level a large block of ore has been determined by tunnels and cross-drifts, considered to he the largest body of silver lead ore on tbe American continent. Ore has beeu struck on the ioo foot level. A large double compartment shaft, now under construction, will be sunk 300 feet, A road bed has been commenced at the new shaft, connecting with the main tunnel, for the tramway down the mountain to connect with the railway. It is reported that the North Star will btcome a constant shipper as soon as the railway to the mine is completed. Wlonlpci Letter. Editor Thk Hkkat.d: The eyes of all having money or enterprise to go on with are turned to the rich country opened up by the building ofthe Crows Nest Pass Railway line, and tbe towns which are springing up along its route. Amongst the latter Cranbrook comes in for a great share, Fernie making a goad second. In spite of all that has been said and done in regard to dissem- enating of the facts regarding these go ahead towns, the reports that are brought back by visitors are at times conflicting as to their respective sizes, The completion ofthe Crows Nest Pass railway as far as the bottom ofthe Kootenay lake, within the time set by Mr. M.

The iron on tin* Crows Nest Pass road uow extends from Lethbridge, Alt., to the Kootenay lake in West Kootenay, a distance of 360 miles. A little more than n year ngo there wns nothing more tlmn Indian trails between many of the points along the liue, nud last evening- party arrived iii-Crauhrook traveling in all modern comfort in a well equipped sleeper with a dining cnr. O'l the i;th of July of last yeir the first work was done on lhe road at Lethbridge. Last night, October 5, the last spike was driven at the lake. A year ago, when Mr. Haney said lie would have the rails laid to Kootenay lake by the first part of October, railroad men scouted the Idea, To build a ro id through a mountainous country iu such a time they said was Impossible. The road has been built withiu the Lime and trains ure now running over the entire line. A Party of Visitors. I.n-d evening about 7 o'clock, a special pu-led up nt the foot of Baker'street, On board were M. J. Ilaney, manager of construction, Mr. Schriber. deputy minister uf railways nnd canals, the Hon.

Charles McNally, oue of the meu working in the railroad yard, was found dead in bis bunk Wednesday morning. Commissioner Armstrong was notified, but after investigating the case decided an Inquest was unnecessary. The man hud died from heart disease. He leaves a wife iu Algona, Ont. Over to tbe Operating Department. It is quite probable tbat the Crows Nest Pass line will be turned over to tbe operating department af the C. P. R. the first of November. If not at that time, it will be done December 1, President Van Home Is Coming. President Van Dome, of the C. P. R., is iu Vancouver. He will take a trip over this road about Lhe middle of the mouth in company with other officials. SALAD and.* dt DRESSING 5K-> -*+•) The guests .it th.

Finally an Investigation was Instituted, and it resulted in the discovery of McMillan and Frith wearing shirts that could be heard to Fort bteeie and Moj ie. The guests are thankful this week that the shirts nre in the wash.

George Nelson, who has been contracting with Major Bowles on the Crows Ntst line, has been in town the past week. He eipecls Lo take a ttip west soon, "Jack" Fraser, for a long lime storekeeper at Wardner, has taken Mr. Charleston's place in this city. .Mr. Charleston will leave this week, taking a trip to the coast before going east. J. C. O'Neil returned last week from a trip to his home in tbe east. One of his children has been quite sick but was nearly recovered when he lelt. It is said that the C. P.

Paymaster Bernhardt has gone to Van cou ver to bring his family back to Macleod. He will be away nbout ten days nnd his assistant, Mr. Latter, will remain and look after the business in Craubrook. J. Haney, viz., 14 months from tbe start, ts looked upou by railway men as quite a record breaker in its class. The power to be able to ship freight straight through from Winnipeg to Rossland without transhipment is undoubtedly a great benefit to those directly interested. G.H. School Inspector. William Burns, Inspector of schools for the Kootetiays, was in town Wednesday for a short time. He was anxious to learn of the conditions existing al Cranbrook so far as they related to the school question, and expressed tbe opinion that this town would surely be given a school within a very short lime Thinks Well of This Province and Cranbrook. li, J. Walsh, of Ottawa, who has been interested iu properties about Cranbrook for the past lwo years, arrived Monday, lie will spend several dnys looking over bis interests. Speaking of British Columbia, Mr. Walsh said that he expected to see the time come when Brit* isb Columbia would be tbe empire province of Canada. "Vou have the wealth here, and its development means the development ofthe province in both riches and population." Mr. Walsh was very favorably impressed with the appearance of Cranbrook.. aud looks to see this become an important place. New Money Order System. Manager Smylbe, of the Canadian Bauk of Commerce, has received an installment of blank money orders Lhat have been issued by the associated chartered bauks of Canada. Under (hia new system a money order from $t to $50 cau be had at prices ranging fom eight cents to 14 cents. These orders are payable at auy of these banks at par, and presents a most convenient and economical mode of sending money away, which also possesses the additional feature of being absolutely safe. Tinner Wanted. Practical tinsmith. Apply at once to G. H. Miuer, Craubrook, "Jim" Cronin. of tbe .St. Eugene mine, was in town Thursday. Cronin is a mau that has iitt.e to do wiih newspapers, and doesn't care a snap whether tbey have anything to say about him or his mine. Well, we are difitient. If we had ss large an Interest iu tlie St. Hu- geue as has Mr, Cronin, there would come a day when wt would say to a.l tbe newspaper men in the Kootetiays, "Boys, jou poor devils have plugged right along for Ibis country with mighty small dividends. Vou bate helped to bring p-Oj.de iu here to look at our mines, and yotvnave given confidence to capital; now just meet mc al Nelson, Cranbrook, or any oil) -r Central point uL any time you say and we will cat, drink and be merry for out ui,;iit." Bnt Cronin is modest, and Ik- thuns newspaper noterlety. Bul his heart is in the right place. P. J. Smyth, editor of the Moyie Leader, arrived ill town last Sunday, uud naturally in the course Of his rambling* over the city landed in the Tiik I1i.kai.ij office. We had 11.ver seen Smyth before, and now we know why lie spells his name with a "y." He is the best looking newspaper man in the Koole- nays, and what is more he is a hustler and is giving Moyie a __-karat paper. If wo had enjoyed bis good looks in our youth, we would have been married years ago, nnd we dont Understand how he has escaped so long. Dau Mann, the railroad and mining magnate—and you will notice we tall him "Dan," not because we know him so well as all that, but simply because all Canada dots so—came into Craubrook this week, but failed Lo find our ollice, We had fixed up an easy chair, pul n full bend of ileattl on ihe stove and sat down to wait hi•- arrival.

HIS ROMANCE. Cranbrook will soon havercgularover land trains bringing patsctigers direct from the Atlantic toast.

Somehow it didn't serin right for lie fellows to grool them 011 the street with n fnigUlnr ship on the shoulder ind a "Hello, Kit, old girl, how you is?"
