Smith was resumed here yesterday.
Major Waller of the marine corps
testified to receiving from General
Smith the orders to "kill and burn"

said Major Waller, were more

the tribesmen of the Soudan.
Without General Smith's drastic
measures the war would not have

Gambling Cases Still  Occupying the Attention

The gambling cases at the city

yet remain to be disposed of, those
against Harry Mcintosh and Hugh
Henderson. The latter will be
taken tomorrow. No decision, it iB
understood, will be given until the
whole of the evidence has been
tendered in each of the cases,
The dilliculty with regard to the
establishment of these cases iB apparently not that gambling was
not going on, but whether the men
charged are keepers of the houses
in which gambling was lately carried on. There are numerous
lawyers in the case, and the witnesses seem to be legion.
London, April 29.—"Soft soap

in the house of commons regarding the proposed Americanization
nt the Atlantic.
Referring to yesterday's statement of the Shipping Gazette,
"The Westminster Gazette" voices
ihe public inquiry as to the difference between the sale and the
transfer of White Star line has to
lie shipping combine. In .the
meanwhile, another "authoritative
statement" in today's Liverpool
Express may serve for a subject of
further guessing on the part of both
he public and the ministers.

CHARLTON'S RESOLUTION.
The resolution of Mr. Charlton
in the Dominion house the other
day asking that Great Britain
should give favorable terms to the
Boers was well put down by Sir
Wilfrid Laurier. As Sir Wilfrid
cogently remarked, if the Boers
heard of any such resolutions being
presented by the Canadian government they would immediately be of
the opinion that the Canadians
were with them and so break off
negotiations. Mr. Charlton re
ferred to the maganimous way in
which the North dealt with the
South after the great civil war, but
he has evidently forgotten that the
surrender of the South was unconditional, and the magnanimity displayed by the North came after
that surrender. Whether there
would have been quite as much
magnanimity displayed if Gen.
Robert Lee had taken refuge with
the shattered remnants of his troops
in the hills of Virginia instead of
Burrendering,in like manner to the
spirit displayed by the present
Boer leaders, is another question
altogether. It is, however, quite
possible that the North might have
called those mountain refugees
banditti in just such a way as the
Filipinos yet fighting in the islands
of the Far East are today styled in
the press dispatches. Mr. Charlton
has no right to think that the
British government is any less
magnanimous than himself or the
nation to which he at one time
would fain ally Canada.
FREIGHT AND   TREATMENT.
"The present conditions of high
treatment and transportation
charges," sayB the Fort Steele
Prospector, "have materially retarded quartz mining during the
past year in South East Kootenay.
In British Columbia there are no
mining camps of equal richness to
those of Southern Kootenay. It is
reasonable to suppose that the district will be traversed by a north
and south railway before very long,
and when this is accomplished,
the cost of prospecting, mining,
treatment and transportation will
be reduced, and a greater tonnage
of both high and low grade ore produced."
The remarks of our Eastern
Kootenay contemporary are not
only pertinent to the condition of
things aB obtaining in hiB part of
the province, a little developed
district, but also to conditions in
placeB where the mineB have advanced to a later stage, such as in
this camp. Freight and treatment
is the very breath < f the mining
industry whether in its beginning
or in the full strength of its development. For an example take the
conditions prevailing upon the Le
Roi mine, which is the largest producer in this province. Freight
and treatment is as much to it as it
can possibly be to any mine in
East Kootenay. The wild rumors
that prevailed yesterday on Columbia avenue can well be taken as
proving the point advanced. It
was asserted that the fall of one
cent in the price of copper, was
sufficient to cut off the margin of
profit. This would affect the ore,
not immediately of course, to the
extent of 30 cents per ton. As the
margin of profit is over $1 per ton,
the ore shipped being over $10 in
value, it is evident that the assertion iB unwarrantable. But even
this could be met by a reduction
in its freight to Northport. The
C. P. B. charges $2 for the freight
of 1 ton of coke 300 miles from
Fernie to the Granby smelter. The
charge is perhaps excessive, but it
compares favorably with a charge
of oO cents pcr ton of a distance of
17 miles. In the one case the
charge is two thirds cent per mile
per ton, and in the other it ia three
centB, or more than four times the
amount.
Then take this very question of
the transportation of coke. Now
coke can be transported from Fernie to Nelson or to Grand Forks
for $2 per ton. To take it on from
Nelson to Northport costs another
$1.50 plus a duty on entering the
States of 20 per cent, amounting
in this case to 80 cents per ton,
making a total charge of $2.30
more to the Northport smelter than
to the Granby. As a matter of
fact the Northport smelter, though
it oan apparently get coke from
Fernie at $8.30 per ton, is paying
$10 per ton for Duluth coke. But
perhaps the Crow's Nest company
cannot supply the 200 to 300
tons daily required ior the North-
port smelter, despite its vehement
assertions to the contrary. This is,
however, another story.
The point of the matter is that
the price of coke could be much reduced regarded from the point of
view of the freight alone. But
when the price of coal is taken into consideration another reduction
ia self evident. Coal, screened,
at the pit mouth in Pittsburg, Pa.,
is but 90 cents. At Fernie unscreened coal is $2 a ton.
Another cut of at least
75 cents is possible, which
also makes a similar reduction in
the proportion of two to three in
the price of coke. In other worda
if coke at $4 a ton is made from $2
a ton coal then coke at less than
$3 a ton ought to be made from
$1.25 a ton coal. Putting the matter shortly coke ought to be obtainable at $5 a ton at Northport,
which would mean with a percentage of 25 tonB of coke to 100 tons
of ore, a reduction in the treatment rate of Rossland ore at
Northport of at least $1.25 per ton.
Add to tbis" an additional reduction of 30 cents on the freight of
ore, and it is seen that the worda
of the Hon. C. H. Mackintoah in
an interview with the Nelson News,
setting the possible treatment at
a profit of $7.50 ore, is no idle
chimera but sound horee^Benae.
But this would either mean the
maintenance of the present rate of
shipment from Rossland even if
the bottom were to drop out of copper altogether or, if the metallic
value of that metal remained
s ationary, the shipment of at least
thrice the present output and the
employment of hundreds of more
men.
The question ia therefore not
one of idle interest to the man in
the street or the quidnunc in hia
office but is of vital moment to
every Rossiander and to every citizen of this province. So far no
public body, with the exception of
the convention at Kamloops, has
dared to handle the matter, and
the only satisfaction that convention haB obtained from some of its
would be wiae critics, auch
aa the Vancouver World, ia to be
styled an assemblage of "enthusiastic chumps" or "sentimental
dreamerB*'. But is it no dream
but stern reality, and the sooner
Rossland wakes up to itB real in-
interesta and compares the action
of ita delegates at Kamloops with
the verbosity of its more pretentious delegates to the coaat, the
better it will be for the city and ita
industries.

FIGURES TALK.
The fi th annual meeting of the shareholders
of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal company was held
in Toronto on March 7th.
The net profits of the year after paying all
operating expenses and all charge of every kind,
amounted to $207,848.39. After paying a dividend at the rate of ten percent per annum, a balance of $28,142,89 was carried forward to the
credit of profit and loss.
This company's assets are their coal miivs
and tbe townsie of Fernie. Four years ago this
company had no transportation facilities, and their
stock sold as low as eleven cents per share. Today their stock is selling at $90.
The Similkameen Valley Coal companv, limited," assets are coal mines, timber, water.power,
agricultural and horticultural land, city water
works, electric light plant and the townsite of
Ashnola, surrounded bv the following resources:
gold, copper, silver, lead, iron, lime, fire clay,
platinum, and a fine stockraising country, and it
is the smelting center of the Similkameen valley, with a climate that is all that could be asked,
You can secure an option on this company's stock
by paving 10c per share down, and ten cents per
month until fully paid, wi:h non-forfeiture clause.
This price is subject to twenty-five cents advance
without notice as soon as transportation is assured.
The present price is $1.10 per share. Do not wait
until it is too late, but get in on the ground floor,
and make a han'lrome profit, A purchaser of
one hundred shares now, may gain a profit of
$8,990. Crow's nest shares as an example. Tbis
would be a fair profit on an investment of ten
dollars per month for eleven months. We invite
the fullest inspection of the company's affairs by
intending purchasers. For further information

TO RELAX
DISCIPLINE
Methodist Ministers in Approval of Card Playing and Dancing.
New York, April 29.—Deep interest has been aroused among the
Methodist ministers of this city by
a recent meeting of ministers in
Chicago, when it was urged that
the church laws prohibiting dancing and kindred amusements ought
to be modified to meet modern
ideas of the people at large. That
a large number of Methodist ministers of the city, believe that the
church laws againBt dancing, the
theatres, card playing and so on, do
more harm than good, ia apparent.
There is a large number of tlie conservative element among the ministers, however, who think that a
relaxation in church discipline
would work to the detriment of
morals.
Rev. C. L. Goodell, of the Hanson
Place Methodist church, Brooklyn,
said: "I think that the sentiment
is such at present that a law should
be passed to eliminate the prohibition against such diversions as
dancing and card playing, which
can of themselves be conducted in
the most innocent manner."
Several other ministers voiced
similar expressions.

MAY BUILD CUSTOM   SMELTERS
Hon. C. H.  Mackintosh    on   Freight
and Treatment,
"I consider it preposterous that
better facilities," says Hon. C. H.
Mackintosh, in the Nelson News,
"so far as Bmelter charges are concerned, are not vouchsafed those
who invest money in the production of ore. I believe that in Rossland within  a very short  time it
will be demonstrated that the ore
can be mined, transported and
smelted for from $7.25 to $7.00 per
ton and if an effort is not made by
those who now control the smelting
facilities to practically convince
ore producers that the conductors
of the sme'ters are anxious to meet
them on reasonable terms it will be
necessary to establish custom
smelters for the reduction of the
ore."
If vou want first-class bottled goods
go to the International Family Liquor
Store.

CONSOLIDATION IS IN VIEW
Dominion Copperand Snowshoe Gold
May Amalgamate.
There is a deal on for the consolidation of the Dominion Copper
company and the Snowshoe Gold
and Copper Mines, Ltd., whose
properties are situated in Phoenix
camp. The control in the former
company is held by Senator Cox,
Robert Jaffray and Mackenzie &
Mann, all of Toronto.
The properties in the group include the Brooklyn and Stemwinder mines upon which James Breen
last year expended $100,000 in development work in return for a
large interest. Mr. Breen was to
have received control for doing certain work, but abandoned his contract owing to a disagreement with
the Toronto people.
