The Bar has one of the largest stocks of Wines, Liquors and Cigars in the Country. The Dining Room is up to date, and Travelers should always give the Leland. a call. D. A. M'DOUGALD. Mrs. E. W. Ferguson, 7 wife of onc of the proprietors of the Surprise, made a trip into the Slocan last summer, and was the hist woman;to cross the Noble Five divide. She;showed remarkable nerve and pluck to do so, but then Chicago ladies are equal to any occasion, ■even.'if--'they do walk on carpet when they are at home. She tells her experience in the Chi-, cago Inter Ocean as follows:— Three years ago a ■'.few*hardy men who had mined in California, Colorado and Montana started on an exploring tour through what, was known as the Slocan. Indians twere their guid es " and pack horses. T hey soon discovered that the mountains ovpr which they were traveling were teeming with precious metals. - The Indians, frightened away by the blinding snowstorms, left the prospectors to care for themselves. The rugged life to which they/had become innured, made it possible for them to endure many7,hardships, and claims were staked wherever ^prospecting warranted it. Today, the advance that has been made in opening up the country and' mines sho wsihe wonderful elasticity of hope. Our party left the Great Northern Railway at Bonner's Ferry, Idaho, took a boat up Kootenay-river and lake 7-throughll-UDeaiitifiilXmountain*, scenery. A day's ride brought us to Kaslo, B. C., a niining staifcicm recently established. Kootenay lake is of unknown depth, 1,50J feet having been sounded and bottom not reached. Its waters are of emerald hue, surrounded by white capped mountains and overhead is the cloudless blue of the northern sky. At. this time of year no ;more beautiful landscape could be imagined. Early in the spring Kaslo had been half burned down. A -lew weeks later came several days with the mercury at 90 degrees. The surface snow in the mountains melted so rapidly that the mountain ^streams became raging torrents, carrying everything before them, pouring into Kootenay lake, causing' a rise of 36 feet, which submerged all landings and twisted the houses from their, frail foundations. The day after our party reached Kaslo forest fires started up and swept over large tracts. The flames were so fierce that they jumped hundreds of feet. The trees are covered with a hanging maze that in a fire is like tinder. High up the-mountains,-'where, the lire did nqp reach, our travelers were afterwards told that the men thought it was a volcanic eruption, the sight was one so grand and awe-inspiring. .Droves of mules used as pack animals and men who had escaped tlie fire half clad fled down the hills into Kaslo. It. was several days before our tourist rlared to continue their journey. The incoming people would tell, how the trails were blocked by the fallen trees, and tiiat.it would be foolhardy to attempt to go over them, especially with a lady in the party, as no fell, a',e had ever attempted to make th - ascent to the mines, even when all the trails were open. Finally a detour of the mountains round "the. fire was determined on, which made the trip more arduous than it would have been had tlie trails been open. Mrs. Ferguson felt that it would be impossible to ride over these steep hills in a lady's ordinary costume. She attired herself in a bloomer outfit and'found it both comfortable and serviceable. She said her unusual costume did not elicit any would-be humorous remarks from the miners. On the contrary, they praised her and told her she' was sensible to discard the cumbersonie skirt. She continued the story of her travels as follows:— Nine miles from Kaslo a mineral spring was reached, whose limpid waters are .so highly charged tliat they sparkle like champagne. Even novv its, wonderlul curative ' powers are known throughout that region, and unlike many mineral waters the taste is delicious. \r. The people: to whom it is known say it is a cure-all. All along the route our party came across prospectors intent upon finding ■something' richer than had yet been discovered. - At the. Noble Five' group of mines, the owners of which were the hardy men who were the first to prospect the Country, thousands Of tons of ore, assaying from 200 to 3,000 ounces of silver .to the ton, have been uncovered. The owners do, hot seem at all anxious, aad: they say they intend to ;l&e^fcopeuihg7tip"ftew Tedgeis and JY$ins"uiitif 7eltprtal is>attracted "and ready to invest; They have no fear ofthe ultimate result, even with silver close to the 60 mark. • Mi*s. Ferguson said they climbed up and down ladders, through wet tunnels, down into mother earth 312 feet, being shown veins and ledges of galena and carbonate silver until her bewildered eyes were dazed. She said the party were frequently stopped and questioned, for the opportunities for news from the outside world were few and far between. She continued:— Reaching the timber line it was necessary to turn- the animals loose. The mountains higher' up are too steep and slippery for tame four-footed animals. The rest of the journey was made on foot. The summit being reached the party slid 400 feet down on the snow;*-. All around are glaciers, whose age none can. tell. The objective point reached, tlie highest mine in the Selkirk mountains, the altitude prevented sleeping to our novices. The beds of fir boughs were not uncomfortable. The -water-got for bathing froze into good solid ice within a few feet of the beds. We did not tarry long, and must confess that Chicago seemed a very comfortable place on our return, even with the thermometer in the 90s. The management of the Great Northern Railway must realize the possibilities ofthe country, for even now a survey is being made and a railroad may be expected in the spring. At Pilot Bay, in the heart of the mining region, a smelter is being built. MINING- NEWS. What is Being Done Among » Treasure Vaults. he There is an increasing stir noticeable ih. the Boundary creek camp. The last consignment of machinery for the smelter- at. Pilot Bay passed- down oil tlie Lytton Tuesday. Two lneii'are working on the, Gallop claim on Howser Lake. One of the leads on this claim is 15 feet in width. Half a-dozen assays on ore from the recent strike on the War Eagle, Trail creek, ran from $24 to $161 in gold per ton. : The War Eagle people are putting - in a compressed air drill on that pro perty. It will be in running shape by the middle of the month. .-■,- E, J. Matthews, Ore buyer lor the Omaha smelter, estimates that 2,500 tons of ore will find its way out via this town by the end of January. ; About two weeks ago 24 tons of ore were shipped from ■ ■ t- le Antoine to Great Falls. Seventy-five tons more will be shipped in a short time from the same property. It is given out that J. A. Finch is anxious to take up the bond on the celebrated Reid & Robertson dropped by -him some time ago,, after an ''expenditure in*.wor.k of $10,000. Ad S.7Fairwell is applying for a certificate of improvements for the Cariboo claim, located in the Best basiii. It is owned by Belle Coy, A- L. Davenport and L. D. Wolford.'. The final consignment of material for the concentrator, rear Three Forks arrived Tuesday. It was, from Chicago and consisted of water"pipes and smoke stacks, 50 tons in all. ( C. D. McKenzie.. is working the Isis, a gold property, between Whitewater and Goat creek. Wood used at this claim has to be hauled a mile, as the location is above the timber line. The chances are favorable that the dispute over the celebrated Nickel Plate mine, Trail creek, will soon be settled. Development work on the property will then- be prosecuted vigorously. S. T. Walker has made several overtures for the purchase or working ofthe Daisy, a a'eni of a gold property discovered during the year to tlie south of Sil verton. The owners want a big figure for it. Nelson Dcmars has been in town during tlie week, having come up for supplies from Cariboo creek. Tic'says the. frost has put a stop to placer mining, while quartz work has been laid over till spring. He has been showing some pretty samples from the Promestora, a mineral claim in which lie is interested. Nels. will'-winter on the creek. The Leland House will give a ball to its patrons during Christmas week. Str. Arrow is temporarily tied up, but will sail at any time on sufficient business offering.

Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper, Min- of Marine for Canada, is on his way to the coast. Acting upon the discussion which lately transpired in the ^provincial press upon the subject of a mining bureau, Mr. -Kellie submitted this re- solution to the: attention of the House: Resolved, that in the opinion of this House, it is advisable, in the interest and;development of the mineral resources of this province,that a mining bureau and a school of mines be established: —This . is;, a; step in the right direction, as the people should have the means afforded of becoming educated in the principal industry of their country. - Winter is here. We recognize it. It has the same frosty manner as the other- members of the family we ha ve in et. The situation has changed'- with us somewhat since last we met Mr. Whiter and his blood relation, Jack Frost. Then our woodpile was big and fat and loomed up on Broadway like a.miniature mountain. Today it is so attenuated and full of holes that every time the wind whistles through it it sighs and groans as if bothered with cholera morbus. We still have plenty of air and water, and as these two things are great necessities, wo are-thankful. If the air or water plays out on us in Nakusp, we are ruined. Two Seventh Day Adventists are preaching to the people "On. the Sound that the world is coming -to an end next year. They say tliat the United States will be destroyed before Canada, and advise all people who desire to gaze upon the wreck of this beautiful mundane sphere up to the last minute to get into Canada as speedily as possible. While this is hard ' on "God's country," it may swell the Dominion's population, if belief in the report becomes general in Uncle Sam's domain. When the floods occurred last spring we thought that the last call was being made, and daily expected Noah the Second and his ark to arrive at Nakusp. Since the waters subsided we have come to the conclusion that the planet we are tied to will last some time, at least long enough to allow us to ride just once on the Kaslo & Slocan Railway. The Opposition representative Of the south riding has before Parliament a resolution, which, if carried into effect, will lessen a crying evil. It reads thusly: That whereas, owing to custom, the Indians in the State of Washington, in the United States, do annually come into British Columbia and hunt along the Columbia river and Arrow Lakes, and by so doing exclude the Indians of Kootenay, in British Columbia, from following the chase in those portions of the Province above mentioned: And whereas there are known cases of maltreating of settlers along said river and lakes:' Be it tnerefore resolved that an hum-? ble address be presented to his honor the Lieutenant Governor, praying him to move the Dominion Government to take such steps as may be deemed advisable with the .United States Government to exclude these. Indians from crossing the ^International boundary. ]'xd - a New' Ptistoffice. By Friday's mail,: F, W. Jordan & Co. were advised to take charge of the po^toffice.

WINTER The name of the Globe Cafe in Kaslo is a name synonymous with good living*. It was in Existence5 before the fire, and although 'that 'Calamity was the indirect cause of the establishment being closed for. a few months, its proprietor has again come to the front as a caterer to the inner wants of man. This popular cafe is now located on -the corner of Fourth street and Avenue A,■ and its door never closes. Theproprietor, Geo. Paquin, has had several years' experience in Helena and other cities.

Strangers when in Kaslo should not forget the Globe Cafe.
