One man waB killed and four wounded. The prisoners were released. Am holding an inquiry. I have received a long letter from Steyn, containing an argumentative statement of the Boer's case and saying he will continue Ogling; also a short letter from De Wet to the same effect. Botha writes acknowledging the receipt of my proclamation, and protesting against it. He says the Boers intend fighting. On the other hand the surrenders lately have increased considerably." THEGRANBY COMPANY i82. tf O. M. FOX & CO. Columbia Ave., near Queen St, First General Meeting- Election of Directors and Officers. Montreal, Aug 27—The first general meeting of the Granby Consolidated Mining and Smelting and Power Company took place yesterday in the'head office of the company in the Canadian Life building. Mr. Miner occupied the chair. The company's by-laws were adopted, and the annual meeting was fixed for October 2,1902. The following directors and officers of the company were elected: 8. H C. Miner, president; Jay P. Graves, vice-president and general manager; J. H. McKechnie, Fayette Brown and A. C. Flumerfelt, assistant general managers; W. H. Robinson and A. L. White, secretaries; N.

It is rumored "on change" today that a well-known local broker, has been appointed consulting engineer to tho Northport smelter. Last Sunday the broker in question, made an official inspection of the works and will make suggestions to the London board of some needed changes in gold saving devices. His report as to the management will be highly laudatory,and no doubt willactasasoothingsyrup at the extraordinary general meeting, to be held on the 29th instant. Slocan Stur Peuple Arranging With the Selby and Trail Smelters. Slocan, Aug. 27.—The Byron N. White company is cutting down the foice at the Slocan Star mine. Negotiations are on with the Selby and Trail smelters for a rate which will permit the White Star company to ship the ore in a crude slate and save the cost of milling and tho loss which always attends tbe concentrating of the high-grade ore of the Slocan. There is reason to believe that the 3melter people will give a rate away below anything ever before offered for lead ores. GREENWOOD ACCIDENT A Narrow Escaps For Jef- fres Robertson-Tried to Stop a Runaway. Greenwood, Aug. 27.—A lad named Jeffrey Robertson, son of the C. P.

Young Robertson seeing them Btart endeavored to stop them, but-was knocked down and rendered unconscious.

THE SITUATION Bratnober and Braden Go South This Morning. A. GEISER AND HIS CONTRACT Edwin Durant Arrives from London —A Meeting with Manager Macdonald. (Special to the World.) Baker City, Ore, Aug. 27.—It is reported here today that the Rossland Great Western Minos, Ltd., of London, Eng., and Rossland, B. C, a rich corporation with $13,000,000 capital intends removing their head office to this city. Mr. Al. Geiser having closed a contract to operate their mines for three years. Bernard M&cdonal, tho old managing director, being unable to operate the Great be Roi and sister mines, recommended the Geiser, appointment. It is also understood that Whitaker Wright, the great London financier is iiltereBled in the Geiser contract, and may locate permanently either here or in Sumpter. . Geiser's rake-off is not known, but "Al." says it will run into six figures. Baker City, Sumpter and Buffalo Hump campB will be denuded of a number of their best citizens, and will look forward tojan era of prosperity after the clean up. "Some men arc born Tinners, some acquire wildcats, and others have mines thrust upon them." Henry Bratnober the San Fran- ciHco mining engineer, and E. B. Braden, the smelting expert left- for Spokane at noon today. Yesterday both gentlemen visited the surface workings of the War Eagle and Center Star, and there was a rumor current on tho street all day that a deal was in progress for taking over the Gooderham properties by an American syndicate. This is merely arevivalof the story persistently circulated some time ago. It is said that Bernard Macdonald met Mr. Bratnober last evening and that the former declared he had no intention of attempting to import men here but admitted making a contract with Al Geiser, of Oregon, by which the latter agreed (o turn out a given quantity of of ore per day from the Lo Roi mine and treat it at the smelter. The mine manager, it is said, stated that he was in no way responsible for Mr. Geiser or his acts anil lhat the Le Roi company was fully protected against loss or damage in the mailer. It is further rumored that the San Francisco man warned the Le Roi manager against attempting any radical move in view of the known situation in Loudon and pending the outcome of the shareholders' meeting on Thursday next. Mr. Bratnober is said to hive expressed himself aa satisfied with the present outlook of affairs here and in London, and it is understood he will return here later in tho week. The arrival here of Edwin Dur- rant this morning is another incident iu the Le Roi episode. Mr. Durant had nothing to say for publication. He learned of Whitaker Wright's retirement on arriving in New York and said it did not surprise him, as the feeling in favor of a change was very strong in London before he left. Mr. Dur- rant was warmly greeted by all his friends but all he had to say,laughingly, to the Would was, "Yes, I left you on Marcli 30 and you all seem to have gone wrong without me, I hope you will be good now I have returned." Al Geiser, the Baker City banker, who has contracted wilh Bernard Macdonald and tho Le Hoi company to run both the minis here and the smelter al Northport, moved up to (lie Lc Roi quarters during the morning. ■ Al Geiser hold a long conference with members of the Miners union at the hall this afternoon. Nothing definite was arrived at but the contractor seemed very friendly disposed towards the men and will meet them again in a day or so.

In this match there were nine possibles. Sergeant Cavan of the same reg- ment, with a score of 33, won a prize of $3. BRITISH WORKMEN Will Tour America and Study Its Trades-Sent by an English Paper. New York, Aug. 27.—On the Bleamship Ethiopia, which arrived last nighrame twelve British work- inenien, to tour the country and study its trades. The men wen; selected hy popular vote. A. Nicol Smith, nn, who will act as conductor for the expedition, says: "We sliall visit, Washington, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Cleveland, East Liverpool, Buffalo,Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. The delegates came over here to study questions in which the British artisan is"vitally interested. We will inquire into the conditions of the American wage earner, how they are housed and live, their hours, unions, antl other things of interest to US on the other side." SMELTER RUMORS More Plants at Morthport— Recent Purchases Made -Breen's Friend. Northport, Aug. 27.—A special to the Tribune this morning says: ^Unless all indications .fail, other smelting plants are to he built near Northport in the near future. Dr. George II. Wells, owner of the hospital here antl a close personal friend of James Breen, the pioneer smelter man of this city, has recently made purchases of real estate in the Onion Creek vail »y, about five miles south of town. One of his investments was tho Peter Ellison ranch, which lies on the south bank of the Columbia river at Little Dalles. Dr. Wells paid $6000 for the ranch, and it is said that it is intended for a smelter site. At Little Dalles, the whole volume of the Columbia river passes through a narrow gorge, and it would be possible to dam the stream and se- ourealrnosl unlimited power. It is claimed that Dr. Wells and associates have seen Ihe excellence ol the location for a smeller antl intend to erect a plant there which will utilize the power furnished by thc Dalles, ami thus add to their profit! and cost of steam power, which amounts to a very considerable sum in the coufse of a years opera" lion of a big smeller.

O. box 558, Rossland, B, c AGAINST CANADIANS. It has been estimated by a well known metallurgist that at least $250 a day is passing off in the furnace fumes at the Northport smel ter. This is no doubt true; but what of the amount that is passing into the river? An assay has been made of slag taken from the river which gave results of from $2.50 to $7 per ton. If this be so the poor shareholders must needs exercise patience before expecting any dividends. Managing Editor Macdonald complains to some that be is not receiving fair play. The very fact that he remains in the camp proves that a long suffering public are charitable and tolerant. How would Bernard Macdonald feel if he were a British subject, and discovered that the persistent policy of a company was to favor aliens against his own countrymen? When he has a few hours to spare, he devotes them to embracing Al Geiser of Oregon. Next, bis attentions aro turned to Bela Kadish the ore sampler of Oregon. Contracts fo_ wood, iusurance ancl mining supplies are awarded only to alien firms, and the people who protestagainst this are charged with persecuting Bernard Macdonald of California, Colorado, Idaho, and formerly the well known engineer of the "Dufferin," the "Payne" the '"Republic" and a few other failures, not omitting the "Gertrude" and the "Coxoy." NOTES AND COMMENTS. It haB been said that prevaricators should have long memories. Rossland could furnish, a significant illustration. A few weeks ago Managing Editor Bernard Macdonald of the Daily Miner and Le Roi, was broadly asserting that he had the entire confidence of his directors; that there was to he no change whatever in the directorship, and virtually suggested that the London board was recording agent of his mandates. Presto! Whitaker Wright resigns, and Barney forthwith announces that he was "aware Whitaker Wright contemplated taking such a step several months ago." Which Barney are we to believe ? R. C. Clute of Toronto, chairman of the royal commission appointed to investigate the Chinese and Japanese immigration question, is coming in for a good deal of abuse from newspapers, like the Rossloml Miner, because he had the hardihood to say that Samuel Robins of Nanaimo is a worthy citizen of British Columbia.—Tribune. The Tribune today gives much news from the section of the province of which Nelson may fairly claim to be the most central town, and its managers aim not only lo keep up this news service, but to increase it, so that no one residing in sonthern British Columbia need subscribe for the Spokesman- Review in order to get the news of British Columbia.—Tribune. A gentleman named Colistro lias received two months' hard labor for hooting a scab in Rossland; there have been no arrestp in consequence of a gentlemtm having incited a London crowd to lynch Whitaker Wright. The one set of men have lost their money, the other merely their means of living through his actions. —Victoria Post. A Whlto List.

What waB once the centre of business, conducted on business principles by W. A. Carlyle; % has-been transformed into a hive of treachery, conspiracy and double dealing. The sound of revelry escaping through the the casements of the 13. A. 0. ofTiees, night after night, reverberates through the splendid properties now in course of destruction by Bernard Macdonald. Even in the absenco of the great panjandrum of the mining universe, the flow of bowl, if not the feast of reason proceeds. Nickel Plate Flat was startled by the howl of a solid body of mino managers, swearing allegiance to tho Bernard Macdonald, Kadish, Bela Thompson outfit. It was there ond then, between drill1.8 and gorges, unanimously decided to telegraph Bernard, who was supposed to be in sackcloth and ashes in Spokane, assuring him of the loyalty of those who might have labor troubles of their own in the near future, One prominent dignitary emphatically declared that he was prepared to spend all his company's money, and shed his mother-in-laws blood in defence of Barney and human rights; still, at the same time he thought it was better for mine managers to pay the regular scale of wages i n other districts. Another of the high priests of harmony and conciliation, full up to the top of his shirt colar, was a little more candid, staling that of course they wou'd have lo pay the regular scale of wages outside of Rossland, but he must admit that tho troubles fn Rossland caused a great deal of satisfaction to those who had properties to sell in outlying camps, therefore he for one would never bend the knee. It was then unanimously decided to have another drink, and following this, another resolution was passed, duly signed and cabled to London expressing confidence in Barney, Kadish, and the entire Corsican program. More drinks followed. The "Star spangled banner" was then rendered with hideous effect . Three cheers were called for the champion smasher "Barney", and after the rendering of "He is a pirate king," the guests, much to the satisfaction of the residents of Nickel Plat fiat, proceeded down the hill—and some of them haven't Stopped yet." paper in the same community and he went out to see the kennel own ed by Common Sense.

On arriving tho mining man found seven pups knocked on the head hut their eyes were wide open. "Why, Common Sense, that'B a queer thing," exclaimed the great mining man, "Not at all, not at all" replied Common Sense, "pups are like some mon; you've got to knock their brains out to open their oyes."

FAIRLY ASCERTAINED FACTS Many Behaved Heroically and Some Few Badly — The Pilot Was Intoxicated. By comparison of ten or eleven different published stories and some that were not published concerning the recent loss ot the C. P. N. steamer Islander, the following facts seem to be fairly authenticated: '• 1—The Islander was steaming about seventeen knots in the dark where there was a lot of ice in the water. There is great difference of opinion about the presence or absence of fog. 2—She was in charge of the pilot who had come on board some hours before so dumk that his condition was noticed by everyone. 3—That the captain was in the saloon with a convival party. 4—That the ship struck behind or partly behind the forward bulkhead, so that nothing on earth could save her. 5—That when the captain took the bridge he did not realize the imminent danger, ordered the passengers not to be disturbed, and negatived the mate's order to lower the boats. n 6—That through this falal mistake precious minutes were lost before the mate started to get the boats out and the steward to rouse the passengers. 7—That when the passengers realized their position there was little or no lime left and they acted no better and no worse than a crowd of panic stricken people would, without a strong head, and hand to direct them. 8—That many individuals behaved heroically and that a few behaved badly under lhe influence of fear. azors!
