A:I tha city councillors were present at last night's uneventful, bat
prolonged meeting, not adjourning
till after ten o'olock. Several points
of publio interest cropped np,
whioh are detailed herewith.
Superintendent Morgan of tbe
Oreat Northern wrote in reply, to a
communication from the oity counoil, with regard to the swamp on
the northern part of the city, that
he would look into the matter of its
draining, at hit first visit to the
oity.
The Attorney General wrote in
reply to a communication from the
Ratepayers Association, begging to
have an enquiry into the administration of last year, with especial
reference to gambling. He said
that he was not fully acquainted
with the circumstance!, but that
the City Counoil, which body was
the natural representative of the
ratepayers of the oity were, and if
that oouncil would recommend an
enquiry he would order one under
the Public Enquirers Act
Alderman Embleton asked that
a letter be sent to the Underwriters
saying that a connection along the
air pipe connec ing the Niokel
Plate and Black Bear compressors
had been established between the
city and Le Roi, water systems.
This connection was merely temporary, but in any oase could not
be used in the winter, as the line
ie exposed. The point for the underwriters is that a permanent
connection is contemplated along
Kootenay avenue and the connection made yesterday showed what
the pressure would be. It was 52
pounds at the Black Bear, and a
stream oould be thrown clear over
any building in the vicinity.
The assessment bylaw was then
dif cussed in committee of the whole
Alderman Dunlop being in the
chair.
A rate of 23 mills on the dollar
was levied for general purposes, on
rateable property, exempting 50
per oent of the total value ot improvements. This was divided up
thus, sinking fund and interest
14.8 mills, general expenses 5.2
mills, schools 2 mills, health 1 mill.
A rebate on ...e general rate and
on health and schools of one-sixth
will be given on rates paid on or
before September 30, After December 31, interest at six per cent
will be charged on all taxes unpaid.
A point arose that the debenture
rate might be made less by making
the water department take care of
its own debentures, whioh represented 5.6 mills of the special rate
on whioh no rebate of one-sixth
could be made.   That would make
the general rate 10.8 and the debenture rate 9.2. By adopting
this plan a reduotion equivalent to
about ten per cent on the whole
rate of 23 mills would be made to
those ratepayers who settled before
September 30.
The committee of the whole
finally decided to revert this mat-
Mr on the final reading.
Owing to some negotiations in
process conducted by the oity engineer, the resolution to connect
the city water system with that of
the Le Roi was laid over for a
week.
.Alderman Daniel suggested that
the oouncil took into consideration
the question of appointing a city
solicitor, on the ground that the
present absence of suoh an official
was costing far too muoh to the city
for legal advice. Mayar Dean
thought that such conditions would
be merely temporary.
The matter was laid over until
next week.
Chairman Armstrong, of the
Board of Works, thought the watar
ought to be turned on at once.
Alderman Dunlop thought the
city might afford to buy a drinking cup.
Having the council evidently
against him, the mayor allowed the
motion to be put, which was forthwith unanimously carried.

FATHER PAT MEMORIVL
Chairman Nelson Puts Up
a Strong Talk to the
Council.
Roaion of tho Daiay at Longth Dla
ojositd
Alderman Daniel proposed and
Alderman Talbot seconded, that
the Father Pat fountain be opened
at once. Mayor Dean explained
that the permanent faucet had not
as yet arrived, that there were no
oups, that the sidewalk in front of
the / Han Hotel had to be renewed,
and also the crossing in front of
the fountain, that these renewals
would interfere with the fountain's
use.
Alderman Daniel thought that
the time to open was now. Didn't
know when the crossings would be
finished. Thought ;the faucet
would would not arrive until the
snow flies and the water will have
to be tamed off.
Chairman Nelson and Secretary
Drewry of the Summer Carnival,
were present at the - mooting oi tlie
city counoil last evening, to present
their request on behalf of the celebration, that a sum of money be
granted in aid, and that the council would provide for the protection
of onlookers during the Btreet
games and races, by stretching
ropes along the sidewalks so as to
keep the road free, in case permission waB given to use the public
thoroughfares for some of the
sports.
Chairman Nelson made a strong
speech asking for $500 in view of
tbe special circumstances surrounding the Summer Carnival, especially in view of its conciliatory features, and strongly condemnatory
of any attempt to put him off with
a "miserly $300," taking into consideration the heat of the evening.
Finally after a humorous speech,
during whioh no person could keep
a grave oountenance with the exception of the austere chairman, the
eloquent advocate consented to take
$•100, an unworthy weakening.
The mayor wanted a programme
submitted as to location of events.
This the Carnival chairman consented to do at the next council
meeting.
As to the grant in aid the mayor
thought that ten per cent of the
total subscribed, would be sufficient.
No such sum as $500 bad ever
been granted. W. J. Nelson retorted that this was a special occasion,
working for unity, for resuscitation
and renewal of confidence. He
then weakened further to $300.
The mayor said he would take
the oouncil into consideration oi
the question, and do the best he
could. He would ask for a week
to deliberate.

AUSTRALIA.
The depression in Australia,
largely due to the prolonged
drought that paralyzed industry in
many sections of the oountry and
brought many to absolute ruin,
has been bo marked that it is surprising to discover that in spite of
all drawbacks the commonwealth is
in a financially satisfactory condition. The revenue for the past year
was £12,126,000; the expenditure £11,784,000. Of the revenue,
customs and revenue provided £9,-
681,000, being £640,000 above the
estimate; postal £2,445,000. The
items of expenditure were: Customs £270,000; defence £743,000;
postofBoe ,£2,571,000, and paid to
the states £8,200,000, or £880,000
above the estimate. It will be
observed that the postal service
showed a deficit of £126,000.
Taking the several states separ
ately the New South Wales revenue
returns for the year amount to
£11,522,133, an increase of £353,
919, though this does not prevent a
deficit on the whole of £50,000 for
the year.
The revenue of Victoria for the
year amounted to £6,936,392, showing a decrease for the year of £70,
QOO as compared with the previous
year, the principal item of decrease
being the railways, thiB amounting
to $325,000. For South Australia
the returns are better and give a
surplus of £20,000, the full revenue
being £2,472,466, an increase of
£43,700 over last year.
From these figures it would ap
pear that Australia is emerging, I night
perhaps not as rapidly as one
might wish, but nevertheless
emerging, from the lamentable con
ditions whioh have obtained there
for so long a period.
sells dry goods, another boots and
shoes, and another groceries; this
Sahara is relieved at times with
specific announcements of particular sales, but by no means sum
ciently emphasized to educate the
people what they should impress
namely that they can do quite as
well for their customers as any
large store, no matter in what
eastern city it may be located. It
is not enough to say this once, it
has to be repeated bo that people
will begin to think of themselves.
There is a story told ot hew an
illiterate Frenoh fisherman was
met one day on a village pier by a
orowd  of curiosity mongers, and
wishing to put up a job on them,
said in an off-hand manner, that a
sardine had blocked the port of
Marseilles. They were carried
away by the news, and one by one
went qff to Bee this remarkable
ocourranoe, till at last the fisherman was left by himself. Thinking over hiB own yarn, he exclaim
ed "suppose it's true after all," and
he, carried away by his own put
up imagination, went off himself to
see this wonderful occurrence,
Which shows that if you think
hard over a thing you will believe
in it after a while even though, as
in the case of the mail-order business, a merchant may see no im
mediate solution.
NOTE AND COMMENT
A good point is made by the
Seattle Post intelligencer in referr
ing to the anxiety of United States
captialists to introduce Chinese
labor into the Philippines. It says
that the only justification of the
United States being in that country
is the eduoation and uplifting of
its natives whioh will not be the
case should Chinese be introduced
to further degrade them by their
competition. Whether commerce
suffers or not is beside the issue.

MAIL ORDERS.
The remedy for the mail order
business evil of the weBt, says the
Nelson Tribune, of whioh all merchants complain, will enly be found
along business lines. There is too
much false sentiment dragged into
the disoussion of the matter. So
far as a town is concerned, merchants expect and have a right to
receive reciprocity from those
with whom they deal; but they
overlook the faot that there are
always a large number of people
who are quite independent of them,
and who, be it said, having no axes
to grind, do not oare a brass farthing about all this sentiment as to
dealing at home. They will buy
where they oan find the best market, on business principles; not
that they do not get most unmercifully fooled in dealing abroad, and
in many cases pay far more than
they would have on the spot; but
that does not alter the principle.
People think they can buy better
east, and it is therefore the duty of
home merohants to show that
therein they are mistaken. How
many do this?   As a rule the  ad-

When an engineer comes out
with the statement that the Boun
dary district of British Columbia is
mining and smelting copper ore by
the ton cheaper than any other
mining and smelting of any other
ore in the mining world, even
eolipsing Mr. Carnegie's total costs
of mining, transporting and smelting Lake Superior iron ores, then
that engineer must be prepared to
have his figures carefully looked
into and verified, and even then
regarded with suspicion. That the
ore in the Boundary district is be
ing mined, transported and smelted into from 50 to 60 per cent copper matte for an actual cost of
$186, equal to 7s 9d per ton mined,
not including office expenses, depreciation of plant, &o., will be
stated and criticisms cited to try
and reduce even these costs.
First, a description of some of
mines working in that district
ought to be given, with an account
of their plants. The Granby com
pany own at Phoenix an immense
deposit of copper ore, outcropping
and continuouB, aB proven by shafts
and diamond drills to over 1000
feet deep. Engineers of high repu
tation have publicly stated that
this oompany have blocked out
70,000,000 tons of copper ore. At
a daily output of 5000 tons, ae. aa
complisbed by the Anaconda in
Montana, thiB block of ore will last
over 40 years without further development, and the bottom of the
deposit has not yet been exposed by
drills.
The ore is worked open cut 400
or more feet wide. The miners lo
cally call the workings "glory
holes," perhaps as they are among
the most glorious achievements in
mining. Maohine drills bore deep
holes on the edges of the workings
from the surface vertically, 25 feet
apart, and the walls of the quarry
are blasted down. The blooks of
ore, too large to pass the crushing
jaws built to orush a cube measur-
uring four feet eaoh way, are bulldozed or redrilled and blasted by
dynamite. The railway sidings
carrying the railway trucks are constructed into the quarries. A steam
shovel on rails moves about, picks
up the ore and loadB it into the
trucks, to be borne to the smelters.
The Mother Lode, SnowBhoe, Sunset and other mines have "glory
holes" in operation also,

The oontraot price for surface
stripping is 25 cents per cubic yard,
but as the surface soil is not deep,
the item is soon written off mining
costs. Tha railway haulage is
charged 30 cents per ton to the
local smelters.
The publio are keen to know
what are the contents of this ore
in the district. One engineer, who
has had an opportunity of knowing, says the copper contents are
from If to 24 per cent in these
masses—that is, 80 to 60 pounds
of copper per short ton (2000 lbs.)
the ton used throughout; and the
gold and silver contents one to two
and a half dollars per ton, mostly
in gold, in the mines already opened. The keis or metallics are magnetite (oxide) in some, and pyrrho-
tite (sulphide) in others,the copper
oocurring as chaloopyrites (sulphide). The gangue is a silioious
lime, and the ingredients as a
whole are a perfect self-fluxing ore
in the furnace, requiring no outside
barren fluxes of lime and iron to
form a clean slag free from excessive copper.
The district has already three
distinct smelting plants, owned by
the Granby, by the Mother Lode,
and by the Sunset companies.
They are increasing their number
of furnaces all the time to smelt
more ore, the only ourtailment to
number at present being the supply ot coke, dependent on the
rapid by building coke ovens at the
newly opened coal mines, a detrimental influence that is fast disappearing, for the mining companies
themselves have bought coal deposit* and are opening them up,
there being no limit to coal in
British Columbia.
The Granby treats daily 1500
tons of copper ore in four furnaces,
and shortly will treat 2500 tons
daily with the furnaces under construction, eventually proposing to
come up to 5000 and more daily as
arrangements are perfeoted. The
furnaces used are the ordinary
water jacketted ones, 170 inohes by
44 inches, built to smelt 250 tons
each daily of ordinary ore. By
using large blowers 400 and more
tons of Boundary ore are daily put
through, some running the feeding
oars with ore over the top of the
fnrnaoe shaft and dumping from
them straight into the furnaoe,
The amount of ooke used varies according to the sulphur contents,
and is from 12 per oent down. No
roasting before smelting is done,
but the raw ore fused direct. The
matte carries from 50 to 60 per
oent oopper, and tbe slag averages
.33, or one-third of one per oent.
The first coBt of smelting is $1.16
per ton, of which cost the ccke is
60 per oent. The smelters are so
arranged that the oharges average
nine tons smelted per man employed, including sampling.
The Granby taps its matte into
a moveable tilting furnace, from
whioh the converters are filled, and
the blister copper (98 per oent) is
■hipped to the United States for refining, until the water powera here
are utilized to furnish eleotrioity
to finish the product at home.
Under present conditions the profit
per ton is 50 cents, and more in
some oases, per ton mined, necessitating a large output and big
plant*.
Let us now examine the probabilities of reducing even these costs.
The mining and loading would appear to bave been brought to perfection. Railway charges oan be
reduoed by the mining companies
owning their own rolling stock, by
building their own railway, or by
more competition, and costs could
be brought from 30 to 15 centa per
ton. One oompany pays the railway a monthly bill ot .£10,000.
Smelting certainly oan be cheapened by cheaper coke, which at
present costs from $6 to $7 per ton
delivered. Two of the companies
have already bought coal mines of
their own, and are opening them
up. Hot blast in the furnaces
would be another improvement.
The question of primary mechanical concentration is capable ot further study; but with cheaper smelting and transportation, and a concentration of from 25 to 40 into
one in the furnaoe, it is doubtful
if mechanical treatment, with its
loss in tailings, would be an advantage. Tbe slag contents in oopper—namely, seven pounds per ton,
should be lessened.
There are many more deposits
here awaiting capital, whioh are
not being operated. What effect
on the copper market will this ever
increasing cheap copper production
have; on Montana, where it costs
more all the time to hoist from deep
levels with a lessening grade of
ore; on Arizona, where fuel is not
plentiful?
Who are operating these mines
in the Boundary district, and who is
it that have already grasped the
immense opportunities? The Snow-
shoe represents the only British
company, Boston and New York
copper magnates with Canadians
are equipping the Granby. The
ubiquitous Mr. Rockefeller controls the Mother Lode and Sunset.
Is it the old story that British oapl-
tal fails to profit by the immense
natural resources of her own colonies, and then complains of Yankee
enterprise cutting us out?—London

CHAMBERLAIN'S POLICY
Montreal Papor Makoa an Enterprising  Movo
The Montreal Daily Herald has
sent to England one of its editorial
staff—Mr. J. C. Walsh—to interview English publio men in regard
to Mr. Chamberlain's preferential
trade proposals, and to estimate, as
well as may be, the weight of the
forces working for and against the
proposition. As Mr. Walsh will
naturally represent the Canadian
point of view, his interviews should
elioit responses peculiarly interesting to Canadians. His letters will
begin in the Herald in the course
of a few days.
SIMILKAMEEN CITY,
Now Is the Time to Buy Lots
in Similkameen City, B. Q.
CAMP HEDLEY is the most talked of oamp in the province, and situated in the centre is Similkameen City, surrounded by
rioh mines whioh will shortly have large payrolls. Over 200 lots have been sold to business people who realize that Similkameen will become the metropolis of this district. The Nickel Plate mineB have expended $300,000 in development and are at
present building tramways and a 40-stamp mill. Arrangements are being made for the erection of a large smelter at Similkameen City whioh will oost about a million dollars. Besides the Nickel Plate group of olaims being developed by one of the richest
mining companies in North Amerioa, there are several other groups and properties whioh will shortly be developed, among them
being the Kingston Mines, Rollo, Wellington, Winnipeg, Red Chief and Pollock. Situated as it is in the beautiful Similkameen
valley, midway between Princeton and Keremeos, and protected from all opposition in the valley by adjoining a large Indian
reservation, this townsite will beoome one of the principal mining camps of the Paoifio Northwest. It was only a short time ago
that lots in Rossland, Nelson, Greenwood and other mining oentres were selling for the Bame price that they are today being sold
for in Similkameen.   Come in before the boom and double your money.
Similkameen City to Have Two Railways.
The Victoria, Vanoouver & Eastern and the Canadian Paoifio railways are starting immediate construction for the Similkameen,
whioh will make this town a railroad centre and divisional point, and when these competing lines are completed through tp the
Pacific coast Ihey will beoome the main through lines, being the shortest route from the interior to the ooast. A large sawmill is
running Btesdily on the weet addition, the only available timber for miles around. The main street is 90 feet wide, being all
oleared and ready for building purposes. All railways, roads, telegraph and telephone lines will have to come through this
townsite, whioh is located iu tbe centre of the whole Similkameen valley and will become the largest distributing point and
mining centre in British Columbia.
Similkameen City Lots Will Make You Rich.

The concert got up by Paul
Kauffmann last night was probably a surprise in its success to that
musical genius himself, and that
success certainly reflects great
not only upon his pupils but upon
him for patient aud accurate training.
Some of the work was excellent,
while none could be deemed bad,
the general average being well sustained, especially instrumentaliy.
Among the instrumentalists Miss
Olga Murohison as pianiste and
Miss Margaret McCraney on the
violin deserve particular attention
where many call for praise. A
musical futurs of promise lies before many of the young pupils if
they take up their studies in earnest.
Beginning with one of Sousa's
marches, rendered by the orchestra,
the piano taken by Miss Olga Murchison and Ira McNaughton, the
programme went on to a pieoe by
Gobbaerts, which was given by
Miss Grace Stewart, both numbers
being well received. Then followed
two piano duets, a waltz by Miss
Sylvia Doell and Miss Olga Murchison, which was very well and a

A battle of no ordinary deetruc-
tiveness took place in the United
States on the Fourth of July.
Eighty million people were in the
fire zone, most of them as non-combatants. Very little attention was
paid to the matter at the time as
the sanguinary nature of the encounter was disguised under the
name of a celebration. Returns,
however, have since been collected
from 200 cities, and the summary
■hows that 52 persons were killed
and 3665 injured in the patriotic
demonstrations of the Fourth of
July. The Iobb of property by fire,
moreover, amounted tn $400,625.
It appears that the celebration this
year was of an extraordinary de
sfructive character. The classifies
tion of accidnnts makes a Btrong
case against tha toy pistol, whioh
injured 559 persons, but shows that
gunpowder as it is used in homemade bombs and fireworks is a still
greater source of danger, claiming
765 victims. Firearms, carelessly
handled, injured 562 persons, prob
ably as many as many as are hurt
in hunting accidents during an entire year. Skyrockets caused 206
injuries, cannon 319, and runaways
81, while "fireworks," unclassified,
brought disaster to no lees than
1170. Evidently the efforts made
in many places to secure a more
quiet and dignified observance of
the anniversary did not meet with
conspicuous success.

The directors of the Boundary
Coal Mines, limited, at a meeting
in Spokane at the office of the oompany a few days ago, decided by a
unanimous rote to bond the proper
ty of the company to J. R. Carling
of Exeter, Ont. The director present were: 0. E. Mitchell, president;
E. T. Bartlett, vioe-president; W.
H. Meyers, treasurer; Percy F.
Goodenratb, secretary; W. E. Wing
and George A. McLeod, J. R. Carling was also at the meeting, accompanied by J. A. Mackay,   of
Saginaw,    Mioh.   The   gentlemen
mazurka by Miss Helene Buiritt1 represent New York capital whioh
and Master Kenneth McDonald,
whioh waa better. The "Heather
Rose," a piano solo, was fairly well
rendered, and a recitation by Mies
Helene Burritt, words written by
the "Poet of the PineB," was well
done.
A vocal solo was next rendered
by Mrs. Baxter which received
praine, and then oame a violin solo
by Robert Kenning, accompanied
by Miss Murchison which was very
good,especially the accompaniment.
The firBt'part of tbe programme closed with a violin duet by Miss Alice
Fox and Ira McNaughton and the
Carnival of Venice by the whole
orchestra accompanied on the
piano by Mies Nettie Lingle. Both
were good, especially the latter.
The second part opened with another orchestral effort, with Mrs.
Kenning and Mrs. McCraney on
the piano, which was very good,
and a piano solo by Miss Nettie
Lingle, which waB much applauded.
Next followed a vocal solo by Miss
Ina Urquhart, with a violin obbli-
gato by Miss Margaret McCraney,
which waB excellent, although the
singer was somewhat marred by a
not unnatural nervousness.
A piano solo followed by Miss
Olga Murchison, whioh was one of
the best numbers of the evening.
Next in order waB a quartuor melody which was very gocd, the different parts being sustained by
Miss Margaret McCraney, Miss
Blanche Raymer, Robert Lenning
and Paul Kauffmann. Ira McNaughton, followed with a piano
sole, which gave him much credit.
Miss Rena Anderson showed the
possession of fine voioe of great
power in a vocal solo next rendered,
while a violin duett between Mies
McCraney and Paul Kauffmann,
with Mrs. McCraney at the piano
delighted the audienoe.
Mendelssohn's wedding maroh
ended the musicale, being rendered
with great effect by the full orchestra, accompanied by some brass instruments.
The orchestra violins during the
evening were taken by Mrs. Baxter,
Misses  Kate McDougall, Margaret
ie eaid to be going into the mines
of the   Boundary  district upon
large scale.
The terme of tb.6 bond provide
for the expenditure by the purchasing parties of sufficient money to
put a diamond drill outfit upon the
property and to thoroughly exploit
the olaims. Work is to be started
within the next four week", by
which time the property is to be inspected by experts.
The deal provides for the forma
tion of a oompany to be capitalized
at $2,500,000, in which the Boundary shareholders reoeive share for
share. Of thiB oapital stock $1,
500,000 is to remain in the treas
ury.
The company was formed a few
months ago by Peroy F. Gooden
rath and a number of local men.
The capital ie 1,200,000 shares with
500,000 in the treasury. The prop
erty comprises 2560 aores in the
North Fork coal baBin, 50 mileB
north of Grand Forks. George A
McLeod of Grand Forks, was instrumental in interesting the eastern parties.
