Prior to Juno 1st tho men had been "working undor what was known as the old Slocan Bcale, iixed in 1900... On June 1st thoy had received a very material increase, but did not receive the samo rate of wages as wns being- then paid in the Boundary district! Tho men maintained that tho rate of increase as given was not sufficient, that they Hhould receive tho same rate of wages as that paid in the Boundary district, and thut the in- crcasoasgiven discriminated in regards to certain classes of labor. Thoy based thoir demands for an increase on the fact that tho cost of living-had materially increased since the old scale was fixed, that the wages lu othor departments of Industry had increased during the last 10 years from 25 to 100 por cent.; that thoy woro entitled to tho eaino rato ot wajjoH as that paid in tho Boundary country, whore conditions are practically tho samo as at Moyio, whlid nnd that moro especially in tho caso of muckers, in Hosslnnd and tho Boundary tho In- crcaso has boon from 1G% por cent, to 80 por cont,, while In Moyio tho increase has only boon 8)tf por cent. Tho com* pany mot this isiuoand maintained thnt not only should an increase not bo granted, but that thu prosont scale of wages wat» oxccislve under tho condi* tions, and that tho old Slooan scnlo, which prevailed prior to Juno 1st, should bo rostorod. •• On that dispute wo then proceeded on the 10th and 20th days of Octobor to take evldonco at Moylo and then dealt principally with tho prices of coin* moditlos, and tho cost of living of tho present time as compared with tho po* rlod from 1000 to 1004.

The travelling and haulage roads and the airways through the worked out portions of the mines where the roof and pavement have come, together, have been kept open by taking down the roof or taking up the pavement and are now practically rock tunnels. In this system of mining there are no old workings left in which any accumulation of gas can occur. - o ■ From these facts I argue that no further subsidence of any importance will occur in the surface overlying the seams so far worked, and as the workings at present extend to a„ point under the brow of the hill—back of which the surface is more nearly, level—any further cracks due to subsidence will bo in tlie flatter country and free from nil bus-- picion of danger. As to any danger from the subsidence which has slrendy'taken place, I would say there is none, for the reason that tho strata forming, the mountain nre hard, solid bedsof sandstone, conglomerate and argillite, quite unaffected by water. These,strata arc merely horizontal, such dip _ as-they have being into the hill, which'/eliminates any possibility of there being any gener'nl slide of the hillside into the vullev of Coal.-Creels. The fissure, which was the immediate cause of the investigation, occurs'in a sandstone bluff some 75feet high, which forms the brow of the hill—some 1800, feet above the level of the'railway' tracks—nnd cuts across a point of this 'j bluff in a, direction parallel with tho j main creek, The fissure in' the solid j rock i.s about 18 inches wide, biit whore. ] the rock is covered wilh earth the earth j has in j.l'ijc'es run gown, giving the ! nuuresoion- to a casual observei-. of a ; dt-hure of several feet in/widrh. ; ' This fissure evidently occurred in the early p.irt of'the past, summer.

Mines, Coal Creek, had «aused a subsidence of^ the hill above theso seams, which subsidence was manifested by the opening of cracks in tho higher rocky beds of which the mountain is formed, and it was feared by-many of the "inhabitants of. Coal Creek that thoso fisBuree—some'of which wero in rocky cliffs—would causo largo fragments of,, the cliff to bocomo detached and that these would roll down upon tho houses in tho valley, causing a disaster Bimilar to that which occurred, somo years back at Frank, Alberta. As far as Mr. Biggs know, or I could hear from others, there was no insinuation or expectation of danger in tho minos mentioned, and tho supposed danger' was entirely from tho surfneo timtorial which It was thought might roll down upon tho houses. . On tho 5th Inst. I went up to Coal Creole nnd examined tho whole of tho ground In question, As your information hnd boon (rom tlio Secretary of tho local Union, I t.t considered- it advisnblo that tho Secro* If! tnry nnd two other momboru should * accompany mo, which they did nt my request. I wm ftlso accompanied by Mr. McEvoy, tbe Geologist nnd Engineer of tho Crow's Nost Pnsa Conl Company, and by Mr. Morgan, tho Inspector of Mines for tho District, I lind that the mountain In question is on tho north eido of Conl Crook—its highest point somo 1800 foot nbovo mllwny trucks, bolng almost duo nortii nf tho tlpplo—from whloh tlio hill' Hhiih with n vory uniform slop.* of about WT with two or three snndstono or conglom* or'nto bluffs from thirty to sixty feet hillh, standing nearly vortical, mnl'ing the nvorniro nnglo from tho top to both of about \W to »7".

From this bluff.to the nearost buildings is a horizontal distanco of.about 2,4r'6o feet. ; , .. ■ Ab to the underground workings—] could not,,enter No. 1 Mine as It, had been abandoned for somo time and is now nearly choked up, but I I* now It from"previous inspections. I went .through No. 9 Mine with the ovorman, tho inspector and Mr. Biggs, nnd found everything in good ordor nnd as safo ns coal mining can bo made. I Include with this roport n section of tbo hill In question, Bhowing location of fissures, etc. In conclusion, I beg to ropprt thnt in my opinion theso fissures do not offor or suggest any dnngor from slides or rolling rocks from tho hillside, nnd that no further Investigation is required. I,might any that I found somo 1C0 men hnd boon frlghtonod from their work by storlos of tho oxtont of thoso fissures, consequently I considered it ndvisnblo to glvo n stntomont of my findings to tho local press nt once nnd before making my report to you—of which action J Informed you by tole- grnph.

Put the Right Spirit Into Your Work " - and Keep Your Ideals High. , Put the right spirit'into your work. Treat your calling as, divine,, as a call from principle. : If the thing Itself be not important, the spirit in which you take hold of it makes all the difference , ln the world to you.' It can make or mar the man. You cannot afford .grumbling service or botched work in your life's record.. You cannot afford to form a habit of half doing things or of doing them in the spirit of a drudge,,, for this will drag its slimy trail through all your subsequent career, always hu* mlUatiug 3-011 at the most unexpected ' times. Let other people do tho poor Jobs, tho botched work, If they will. Keep your standards up, your ideals high. * The attitude with which a man approaches his task has everything to do with the quality and efficiency of his, work and with its influence upon his - character. What a man does is a part of himself. It is the self expression of .what he stands for. Our life work is an outpicturing of our ambition, our ideals, our real selves. If you see a man's work, you see th(5 man. No one can respect himself or have ON THE FARM.

Description | The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905.
