The City Engineer reports that are normally not more than 100 inches 0, water to be found in Trail Creek. If the concentrators above divert sufficient water into the creek it is possible 500 inohes may be obtained. This has yet to be done. He therefore reoommends that the city pay on 100 inohes of water and no more and he has been instructed to apply at Nelson for this amount on the original reoord if possible. Tbe instructions given to Major Van Busbirk by tbe late mayor bave issued in the form of a plan whereby 100 inches of water could be diverted near the Valley House from Trail Creek, conducted a mile below, securing a fall of 300 feet, and thus generate about 100 to 150 horse power. * ' , On the other hand it is maintained thnt it would take about 700 horse power to run the eleotric lighting of Roesland on the present basis where, by an excessive oharge for the lights, much fewer are used than would be the oase if the rate were cheaper. Power might be obtained from the West Kootenay or the Cascade Power companies and figures are to be got from .both. MUCH ENTHUSIASM OVER VICTORY A BOUNDARY SMELTER James Breen, Ex-Rossland er Returns to His Old Time Project. 50 Cents a 8ox nf MANUFACTURED BY o Or. Bruhn Medical 6o. W NEW YORK W £4 Sole agent for Rossland, T. R. MORROW, The DNggiSt rj OO ' CALL FOR A TRIAL BOX CC BKSxssajfcsgsxsxsgsi Vancouver, Feb. 24—Mr. James Breen, one of the best known and most suooessful smelter men on the oontinent, and who, with Mr. H C. Bellinger, established the smelter at Crofton, on Vanoouver Island, is making arrangements to either purchase or build a smelter on Boundary creek in the Boundary district. Mr. Breen oame over from Viotoria yesterday morning and lefl iu the afternoon for the interior. A few years ago Mr. Breen secured control of the Dominion Copper company, and [spent much money in developing the properties of the oompany. He then figured on the erection of a smelter for the treatment of the Dominion Copper company ore, and went so far as to seoure an option on a smelter site at the mouth of Eholt oreek, about one and a half miles above Greenwood. He went to Toronto to discuss the projeot with the officials of the company and an agreement oould not be reaohed. Mr Breitn then turned his attention to other interests, and the mines of the company remained idle some time. Japanese Troops Are Marching Northward Over Korea—News Today Is Very Con. flictlng. St. Petersburg, Feb. 25.—The 1 ed herself with glory. wildest rumors have been afloat here regarding the reported Japanese repulse at Port Arthur, but up to midnight nothing official could be learned It is reported unofficially that the Japanese while attempting to land at Pigeon bay, lost two cruisers and two transports. St. Petersburg, Feb. 25—It is officially announoed from Port Arthur that four battleships and two Japanese transports have been sunk in a fresh attack on fort Arthur. The attack was repulsed. Paris, Feb. 25—The Russian embassy here has received a communication to tbe effect that a Japanese squadron duriog tbe eight of February 24th tried to block the entrance of Port Arthur, at the same time attacking Russian warships there with torpedo boats and trying to set them on fire. The Russian battleship Retzivan, supported by the coaBt batteries, repelled this attack, forced the Japanese to retire and succeeded in eiuking four of their vessels. The news of the Russian victory was posted in the lobbies of the chamber of deputies tin-' the Ben ate during the sitting today, and caused great enthusiasm. Praie, Feb. 25—A despatch to the Ha vas agency from Port Arthur ' says four Japanese cruisers and two Japanese transports bave been sunk in a fresh attack on Port Arthur.

There is a persistent report abroad that several Japanese warships have been disabled, but so far it iB unconfirmed. Another steamer passing Dalny about the same time that the Governor Jaescei was off Port Arthur, reports that she heard no firing. Thirteen warships are said to have passed WeiHaiWei today heading east. There were 10 ships in the original fleet. St Petersburg, Feb. 25 It appears that tbe announcement from Port Arthur that four Japanese battleships and two Japanese trans ports had been sunk in a fresh attack on Port Arthur, was given out 1O5 official by mistake. There iB nu official confirmation here of a Russian victory at Port Arthur. Both the report of the sinking of the Japanese ships and the denial that the announcement was official were sent out by the semi-offioial telegraph bureau, the Russian News ageucy. Shanghai, Feb. 25 -The Japanese army corps landed at Chemulpo, Korea, totalling about 30,000, have alreany been deployed between Seoul and Piugyang. Ihe advance guards are even northward of the latter place. Owing to tbe partial thaw, the roads are bad and the transportation of provisions and war munitions is most difficult.

The Nelson Newe declares that the good times are not coming, they are already here. It shows that the Providenoe haB deolared a div dend, the Rambler-Cariboo like wise, the Granby company and the Le Roi No. 2 and theCentre Star, Le Roi and War Eagle are all showing profits. Too little consideration is taken as to tbe manner in whioh the majority of the mines of the Kootenay bave been treated. Take the Le Roi, the Le Roi No. 2, the Centre Star, the War Eagle, the Granby and many another mine of like nature. Facts show that theie mines in order to deal with lie huge bodies of refractory ore have had, at a heavy expense, tosche the question of treatment of tbe ores, have had to install heavy and expensive machinery at the cost oi millions of dollars and have had to do this out of the profits of tne mine, or by running it into debt. If the profits have been paid immediately, then the shareholder? bave been without dividends. If borrowed money has paid the bill then the profit in after years will have to pay back the loans, and the shareholders will be without dividends until the borrowed money is replaced. The Le Roi, to put up its plant and to purchase its smelter, has spent within the past Jfour years a million and a half dollars. This now has been practically repaid, and the mine is now getting iu a position co pay dividends. What would be thonght of a shareholder in a hotel company buying a Buitable building, but negleoting to provide the furniture and expecting the hotel to procure furniture out of its profits, and yet pay a dividend? That eminent financier would be looked upon is a lunatic, but wherein is he worse than the shareholder in the mineB of the Kootenay? manner. Such a word as Canton ia hopelessly Anglicized, and the correct spelling, Kwangtung, would no more be recognizable than Kalkhuttha for Calcutta, although both cities pronounce their nameB in the manner indicated. The addition of "fu" or "foo" (city) and "kiang" (river) ia unnecessary aud merely prolongs the agony, espeo Lally aB journalese often has it the ■'City of Chaoohaofu" or the •'Yangtsze KiaDg River."

The Spokesman-Review speaks of Newohwang commanding the railroad to Port Arthrr. Now Newchwang and. Port Arthur are the two ends ol the two lineB, both running from Mukden. If Newohwang passed out of the hands of the Russians as far as the railroad was concerned, there would still be through communication from Vladivostok, Harbin or Mukden to Port Arthur.

The general publio is muoh confounded by the practice too prevalent in English countries of printing Chinese names with a capital for each syllable. Hongkong and Shanghai, Amoy and Swatow are usually printed as one word instead of Hong Kong, Shang Hai, Swa Tow and A Moy, and the rest ol the Chinese names of places should be spelt as one word. The reason of the mistake is that the Chinese language is monosyllabic and each syllable has some signification But if it comes to that most other names of whatever language can be analyzed in muoh the same way. Hong Kong means Fragrant Streams and Swa Tow, Bank Tail (the tail of the bank), but there is no more reaeon why they should be spelt in syllables than for doing the same with West Minster or Grace Church.
