UNION STRENGTH
Mission of James Wilks to
Fernie.
257 MEMBERS ARE ENROLLED
Will Proceed to Elect Delegates for
the Convention to be Held
at Kamloops.
James Wilks has just returned,
says the Nelson Miner, from a trip
to Fernie where he had gone at
the invitation of the Fernie miners union to address a meeting on
the objects of trades unionism and
its benefits to workingmen. The
meeting was held in Joyce's hall
on Saturday night and waB so
largely attended that many had to
stand.
The primary object of the meeting was to revive interest in the
miners union and in this it fulfilled its object completely, aB at
the close 117 candidates were initiated, It was found that Joyce's
hall waB too small to accommodate all the miners and the owners
of the Princess hall kindly placed
it at their disposal for imetingB on
on Sunday afternoon and evening,
when the initiation ceremonies
were continued.
At the three meetings there was
a total of 257 candidates joined or
wore reinstated, bringing the total
membership up to the vicinity of
400, The members of the union
are much gratified at the result of
the meetings and passed a vote of
thanks to Mr. Wilks for his visit.
They have become very enthusiastic in their organ:zation and intend to make it the banner one of
the district.
. Steps will be taken at the next
meeting to elect the quota of delegates to the convention to be held
in Kamloops.
DEATH OF CECIL RHODES
A Great Englishman Passes to
His Rest.
EARL GREY EXPRESSES ENCOMIUM
Died Peacefully This Morning-His Political Views
and the Objects of His Career in
South Africa.
Capetown, March 26.—Mr.
Rhodes died peacefully at 5.57 p.
m. He slept during the afternoon
but his breathing became more
dilhcult and his strength perceptibly diminished until he passed
away.
New York, March 20.—Earl
Grey, before sailing for England
gave the Associated PreBB an interview concerning Cecil Rhodes: He
Baid:
"Cecil Rhodes is the only example perhaps in our generation of
thoBe idealists who in the days of
Elizabethan adventure, made the
Anglo Saxon the predominant
partner in the world's firm. The
world, at least itB governors, do
not much like euch men as those
who keep them awake at night,
and so the greatest Englishman
of our day has come to be looked
upon with somewhat mixed feelings.
He had a never failing confidence in the growth of the federal
system of the government. I personally have always opposed home
rule, being at that time in the
house of commons, I left Mr. Gladstone's party over this issue
Rhodes, however, never wearied of
assuring mo that I ought to have
gone forward, that in this direction alone was safety.
"RhodeB, in the first place was
premier in Cape Colony, he knew
Kruger would fight to the death
any federation of South Africa under our flag; he knew that either
South Africa must come under the
Dutch flag or the English flag.
If the Transvaal, arming to the
teeth continued this condition of
preparation, then, also every man
in our colony of Natal must similarly arm. It is no longer possible that a chess board of little
armed'nations'can be permitted.
RhodeB saw this; he saw that, 'independence' on the Kruger plan
was incompatible with individual
freedom; that involved all round
militarism.'"
Passing to the effect death of his
friend, Lord Grey, said:
"The world will be poorer, no
one will dream Buch dreams, and
try to draw them ot. maps; no one
living perhaps, will try as he tried
to federate the Empire on the
American system. A great genius
goes out with Rhodes; true his
work will go forward in some ways
more smoothly perhaps, because ho
had inevitably aroused great antagonism but we shall not see hiB like
again, and his passing will for me
and many others take much color
from our liveB."
MEEETING   OF   CITY   FATHERS
Work Accomplished by the Municipal
Council Last Night.
In the absence of Mayor Clute
Alderman Hamilton took the chair
laBt night at the weekly meeting of
the city council.
With the help of ex-Mayor Lalonde, who brought in a petition
signed by the signatories of the original petition for the early closing
bylaw for an amendment of the
same, the council got in and did
work.
The amendment drafted gives an
exemption to the bylaw on the Le
Roi payday, the 10th of the month
or should that fall on a Sunday, on
tho 11th as well as for the payday
of the other mines for which the
15th or 10th is exempted in a
similar manner.' The amendment
waB put through two readings but
it will require two more Bessions to
become law.

SMALLPOX   IS   NOW   EPIDEMIC
Official Letter From the Washington
Health Officer.
Dr. Sinclair has received a letter
from the state health officer at Spokane who says that the smallpox
epidemic is not abating in the
State of Washington, but on the
contrary was on the increase during the month of February. The
chief centres of contagion are Seattle and Spokane.
Apparently the only remedy is
a diastic enforcement of the vaccination laws. The outbreak of this
fell disease is coincident with the
slackening of the operation of these
very laws which at one time had
practically stamped out the disease
in England, now again a prey to
the disease.

London, March 20.—Queen Alexandria started today for Copenhagen to attend the celebration on

BURGHERS IN A TIGHT CORNER
Lose Their Guns, Mules, Stores and
Cattle With One Hundred Thirty-
Five Prisoners.
London. March 20.—In a dispatch dated from Pretoria at noon
yesterday, Lord Kitchener, says:
At dusk on the evening of March
23rd the combined movement
against Delarey was undertaken hy
columns of mounted men, without
guns or impediments of any sort.
The columns Btarted from Commando Drift, on the Vaal river,
and travelled rapidly all night and
at dawn March 24th occupied positions along the line from Commando Drift to the Lichtenburg
blockhouse line, with the object of
driving the enemy against the
blockhouses or forcing an action.
The result has not been fully reported.
Kekewich's column, alter the
commencement of the action, captured three fifteen pounders, two
pom-poms, nine prisoners, and a
hundred mules, carts and wagons.
General Kitchener's column captured 89 prisoners, 45 carts and
wagons and a thousand cattle.
The troops covered 80 miles in
24 hourB. The total number of
prisoners is 186.

ORGANIZED LABOR.
The Seattle Union Uecord says
that there is no wail of hard times
in any cily where organized laboi
is strong. This fact is significant
Business depends upon the consumer's ability to purchase. He
cannot be a $2 or a $3 consumer
when his employer gives him bul
ifl. The merchant who opposes
labor unions is very shortsighted,
to say the least. When "general
prosperity" visits a town every
door is knocked upon, not those of
a few mansions. Where only a
few in a city are prosperous, it
means the city is retrograding.
RUSSIAN REVOLUTION.
The latest intelligence from many
and widely-parted districts of European and Asiatic Russia is to the
effect, that there are signs everywhere of the likelihood of a general
revolt against the present ruling
autocracy. Not only tho masses.
but also the classes, are thoroughly
disaffected, and even the army,
which has hitherto never failed to
put down disturbance with an iron
hand, iB now stated to be showing
many signs of aversion to the pres
ent governing system. It is, indeed
said that were active revolt to become widespread, the Russian
army could not be trusted to suppress it, but would be quite as likely as not, largely to the fraternise
with the insurgents.
Industrial depression and agricultural dearth—amounting almost
to famine in many worn-out farm
districts of European Russia—are
fomenting the seething turmoil of
the community, and there is no
longer unity of action amongst the
Tsar's ministers, one at least of
whom, M. de Witle, favors tolerably liberal methods, whilst others
still cling to despotic rule.
The Tsar and his advisers will
seemingly be forced, in order to
avoid something very like red revolution, to grant social reforms
and to make some approach towards lhe conferment on the Empire of constitutional government,
based in part on an electoral franchise of some kind. Meanwhile it
appear on the whole likely that Russia's home troubles may have one
outside good effect, in restraining
her fiom hostile aggression in the
Orient, whether it would appear to
be unsafe to transport hosts of
troops, whilst at home the people
rage furiously and threaten to attempt the subversion of all authority. Hence Russian's home un-
reBt may tend to peace abroad.—

TOURIST  ASSOCIATION.
Nowhere perhaps in the world
can be unfolded to tlie eye of a
tourist anything like the magnificent panorama uf scenery that is
stretched before the visitor to the
Kootenays. There is only one
place to which it is comparable
and that ie Switzerland and even
that country has not the majestic
variety of landscape presented
in the enormous stretch of mountain country known as eastern
British Columbia. Add to this the
attractions presented by the hunting and fishing and the Kootenays
can be said to be without peer in
the pleasure resorts of the world.
BesideB the enormous Btream of
travel that is yearly increasing as
it swings around the world there
are the millionaires of the eastern
Btates of the union who would on-
Jy be too pleased to pay the coun
try a visit did they only know of
the varying attractions undoubtedly existing.
Yearly thero passes through
Hongkong, the stopping off place
for tourist travel where new connections are made, some 20,000 to
40.000 tourists,the great majority of
whom pass through Chicago and San
Francisco on their way west or San
Francisco and Chicago on their
way eaBt. None of theBe ever
hears of the Kootenays or how to
get there or what to do there or
how to live when there,and they go
on thi ir way to the Orient or back
to Europe thinking only of the
Yosemite Valley and the Yellowstone ['ark as the sights that ought
to be takon in. A very large percentage of these people are British
who would gladly pay Canada a
visit were it only to see the country did they think it was worth
seeing.
Where these people pass they
leave money and no Bmall sum
thus accrues to the treasury of the
places visited. To attract this
highly desirable class of transients,
globe trotters, holiday resort seekers, is the aim of the newly formed
tourist association. It is entering
into communication with the great
agents for tourist travel, Thomas
Cook and William Gaze aud it
purposes to have printed a folder,
well illustrated, giving mapB and
means of communication, hotel accommodation and prices, shooting
and fishing statistics, available
guides, and to send ihis to all convenient places on the world tourist
route so as to divert the stream or
some considerable part of it to our
own province. The idea is excellent, it is money making, and it
is being approached in a busines-
like way. It should be encouraged.
Island Britons have just appreciated the fact of the existence of the
colonies. They are curious about
these strange people, the colonials
and want to see their country. Let
us encourage this curious animal
and show him our country—for a
consideration.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
There has been a great deal of
talk about Methuen's mishap as if
mishaps were strange to British
arms at any period of their history.
It seems however that mishap had
so little consequence that Kitchener
had not to alter the disposition of a
single company of his beleaguring
forces. All Delarey got was the
Btores he captured, but which he
has since lost.
The only logical inference from
Mr. Brewer's statement of the condition of things prevailing at the
Crow's Nest coal fields is that it
lies wilhin the power of the Crow's
Nest Coal company to close down
every smelter in the Kootenays
whenever tho fit takes it. Such a
course might be insanity, but at
the same time the power left in the
hands of the coal company is tremendous, and furnishes a Btrong
argument in favor of government
ownership.

Report From a Mining Engineer.
IT DOMINATES THE SITUATION
Description   of the   Present
Fields Mining by W.
Brewer.
Coal
\V. Brewer who left here last
evening for the coast on his way
from the Crow's Neat Pass, gave
some most interesting information
tn the Would as to the situation of
the eoal holds at the eastern boundary of this province, especially iu
reference to the influence they are
likely to exert upon tlie mines and
smelters of the Kootenays.
He says the coal is mined all the
way from Morrissey creek, the
most western point within the province CG miles east, to a point four
miles beyond Frank in Alberta.
Tlie coal belt stretcheB right across
the Rockies.
The Crow's Nest Coal mine
at Morrissey, Coal and Michel
creeks, all west of the mountains.
The Morrissey fields are on the one
side of the creek only, whereas the
company is mining on both sides
of Michel and Coal creeks; practi
cally, therefore, [occupying the
wholo of the available coal land
with the exception of that to the
south of Morrissey creek
At Morrissey it has begun to
open up the fields. There iB a line
of railway about eight miles in
length connecting the Morrissey
openings with the main line of the
C. P. Ii. This track is owned by
li*e coal company.
On the southern side the railroad
of Jim Hill is now being completed.
It is graded right up to the international boundary, but beyond
that point it is only completed in
patches, as the contractors on the
various sections are finishing up
their work.
The company, says Mr. Brewer,
expects to have a capacity, when
the developments are completed of
about 4000 tons a day, at this point
alone.
At the present time no coal is
being shipped from Morrissey.
On Coal creek the C. P. R. owns
the branch to the mineB. Here
there are three openings from
which are being shipped just now
about 1500 tons daily, the record
being 1859. Within the present
season it iB expected that the out
put will be increased to a little
over 2000 tons daily, which shipments will eventually be brought
up to the standard set for Morris-
Bey, namely, 4000 tons a day.
On Michel creek the openings
are right upon the C. P. R. track
and there is an output of some 500
tons daily which will alBO be in
creased after some time to 4000
per diem.
At Fernie, which is situated at
the month of Coal creeks are 424
coke ovenB, and at Michel another
212, which make either 48 hours
or 72 hour coke. The percentage
of coke to the coal is as 60 to 05 is
to 100.
Michel is just thiB side of the
summit, but BeamB of workable
coal have been found right along
the track to a point 18 miles east
of the summit in Alberta.
The firBt location is that of Blair-
more, 12 miles east of the summit,
the next Frank, two miles further
on and the McVittie property four
miles beyond Frank.
At Blairmore a French syndicate has a large block of coal land
extending Bome seven miles to the
north. Immediately adjoining the
southern boundary of this property
comes another which belongs to
MesBrs. Fishburn' and Proctor,
and to the south of this is another
piece of valuable coal land which
is held by an English syndicate.
No work has been done at Blairmore. The Frenchmen are talking of laying a track some six or
aeven mileB long, and the Fishburn
3'roctor people say that they will
want a track of about a mile or under to develop their property.
At Frank eome 225 'tonB a day
are being mined which is almost
exclusively used by the C. P.R. for
steam purposes.
On the McVittie property nothing is done.
The coal streams east of the
mountains vary from a vertical dip
at Frank to a dip of about 45 degrees at Blairmore. East of the
mountains, however, the- dip seldom exceeds 12 to 15 degrees and
is in some eases much  smaller.
The Crow's Xest Coal company,
sayB Mr. Brewer, practically dominates the whole of lhe smelter situation in the Kootenays. The
o her companies to the east of them
cuinot compete, for, in the first
place thore seems to be a lack of
cipital to develop their properties
and in tho second place the angle at which the coal BeamB lie to
the east of the Rockies makes development more expensive than
the horizontal bodies existing
to the west, in this province. Furthermore any ore coming from the
east of the monulains to British
Columbia must necessarily be
dragged over the summit of the
Rockies and thus placed at another
disadvantage, beBide the others
enumerated, with the mines of the
Crow's Nest Coal company.
The only place where the government can possibly work to any
advantage is on the other side of
Morrissey creek. Every other
availablo spot, says Mr. Brewer,
haB been occupied by the Crow's
Nest Coal company whose officials
have shown the finest of mining
judgment in occupying the ground.
THE MINERAL TAXATION.
Severe Comment   Upon  the Associated Board of Trade.
That bombastic body of commercial cure alls, says the Slocan Drill,
known aB the Associated Board of
Trade, have come in for some
rough handling because of the fool
proposition they made in their resolution on the mineral tax, passed
recently at Kaslo. Not only has
the press jumped on them severely,
but the boards of trade at Nelson
and Kaslo have hastened to disclaim any part or parcel in the
scheme advanced, of further increasing the financial' burdens of
the prospector. The two burgs
named have repudiated the actions
of their delegates to the Kaslo con
vention and have Bought to undo
the evil work theie done. A stirring lesson has been taught the
over zealous disciples of trade, and
in future they will be moro guarded
in their actions. The prospector
may be poor, but he has hosts of
friends.
