A few shots were put in the face this week and a shaft sunk about 10 feet. This has proven tlie continuity and certainty of the fissure Yt-iu and it also demonstrates, as at Trail creek, that the ore gets richer as they descend.

Pitts, representing a syndicate of Portland capitalists, who went into, the Cariboo creek placer fields a few days ago and became enthused over tlie indications, has determined to bring his enthusiasm to a practical test. Pie has secured the Vader claim and engaged men to sink a. shaft to bedrock. Supplies have been ordered and good wages will be given the men. Pitts, who is a mining man of experience, believes that the creek is destined to prove one of the richest placer and mineral camps yet discovered. He has telegraphed to H. A. Anderson, of Spokane, another expert, to come in at once and help develope the property. ^_o "Another G-ood Strike. . . During the past two weeks D. A. McDougald has had a couple of men prospecting on the hills to the foot of the lake and to the head of Mineral creek. Towards'the end of the week they4 returned bringing with them sonic fine samples of white quartz, taken from a ledge located by them on this side of the big hogback and in sight of the town. The lead is 10 feet wide and well defined. Mineral is prominent throughout the samples shown, but the assayer's returns have not yet * been received, though it is believed to carry gold in paying quantities. If so" it will prove abo ; nanza, as there is an abundance of ledge matter. The claim has been called the Nakusp. ORE SHIPMENTS. This Week's Export Shows a Fall- in_r Off in Quantity. This week's shipment of ore to the outside smelters, via this town, show a decided decrease against thc re • cords of that "previous. This is due to the Kootenai having* been temporarily laid off awaiting a greater inrush of ore from Silverton. The str. W. Hunter, on Slocan lake, has been engaged towing lumber, hence the scarcity. Something like 175 tons have come in, but only -15 tons of this has gone out, the Lytton taking up a load ■ on Monday. Next week tiie Kootenai is expected to again be running. During the ".veek thc Ee Roi, on Trail creek, shipped 37 tons to Everett, and tlie Josie 30 tons to Tacoma. The Silver King, on Toad mountain, sent 1-14 tons to Denver, while the Surprise, in the Slocan, shipped out 22 Ions to Great Falls by wav of Kaslo and J Conner's Ferry. Value in all, £ It), &">'.).

Both hail from the province of Que bee,- the former from Ste, Anne de la Parade and the latter from Stonehani.

They took passage on the Lytton for Nelson on Tuesday, where they will spend some time. Returning they will fake up their residence at Roseberry, at which place Mr.NauP has extensive business interests. The Ledge .joins with its readers in wishing the gallant couple a prosperous and happy married life. Provincial Officer Fauquier arrived down from Revelstoke on. Tuesday with Albert Littlejohn in ..charge, who had been arrested ajt; that poin7 on receipt of 'a telegram* from D. Dunn. Last week Littlejohn paid, a visit to Dan^s place on Broadway, in the hitter's'absence, and appropriated to iiis o vn. use the contents of a .jewel cas- ket valued at about #00 ). 'When the robbery became known, suspicion a t once .'fell on Littlejolin, and when he skipped out on Monday's boat the telegram -for his appi'ehe'nsiotr fol lowed. When "arrested tiie ... jewelery was found on him. His trial took place yesterday before E. Mohun and F.W. Jordan, J.P.'s, who committed the prisoner to a higher court to be held at Nelson. A branch of the Bank of 3\Iontreii 1 is likely to lie opened at NewDenver. Snow is falling rapidly in the hills in the Cariboo creek district, interfering greatly with prospecting. There will be a rush into the country next spring, if one may jiidge .from the talk of men during the week. The Tottenham Company, on Cariboo creek, has a shaft down 19 feet and are expecting to see bedrock this week. Joseph Dereham, the manager, was in town last week, and says he called this claim after his native town in Ontario. / Pasre 2. THE NAKUSP LEDGE. .' '■.*.' Published every Thursday. R. T .

Most of papers, as they grow older, increase in size and advertisements. This journal reverses the order of things and today it is only half of its former size, but the quality of the paper is much better than formerly and the information given as abundant as ever. We • have passed through a year of stirring incidents. Snow, flood, wind and fire have caused us to witness many brilliant and thrilling tableaux, too large for stage indoors. We have had a prosperous year, scarcely a month passing by that some honest member of thc human family did not call ia and pay us a subscription. We have kept out of jail and no one has sued us for injuring his feelings. Peacefulness has -reigned supreme, and our private cemetery still sighs for a tenant. We have found the people square—that is, most of tii^m —and we, have the proud distinction; of saying that no other town in Canada better supported a paper, considering its size—the town, we mean— than have the citizens^bf^^Takusp. During our stay in the town no serious calamity has occurred, to mar its quiet progress. It has not moved with the celerity that some towns do, but no one has died of starvation, and the musical jingle ofthe silver dollar is still heard in its business places. We anticipate a great future for Nakusp, and for that reason we ring up the curtain on the second act and announce to our small but select audience that we will stay witli tlie proposition and Nakusp until Hades freezes over and we can walk on the ice.

Wilfred Laurier will continue to use his little wooden musket to get him into power at Ottawa ? He must needs use stronger and purer .ammunition to make a lasting impression on the electorate than that employed on his recent gunning expedition for popularity in this province if he does. Why, enthusiasm can be raised up over anything —a Brown speech, for instance—and it is so cheap. The darling idol of the Victoria people is" the British Pacific, or Canada Western, Railway scheme, and they as devoutly worship it as any South Sea islander his block of wood. Periodically the promoters give a spasmodic kick, merely to keep up n. .'semblance of existence. The most recent effort appeared last week, in the shape,of a four-page' supplement to; the Colonist, setting forth the aims; objects and ad vantages of the undertaking. New blood is said to haye- become interested hi the charter- Baron Hirseh: and ;the Rothschilds, This scheme will become one of the burning questions of .the day ere nniny moons have past. As we mentioned • two weeks ago, the Government has decided upon calling an autumn session of the Legislature, and a proclamation to this effect appeared.in last week's Gazette. The date set for the opening is Mon day, Nov. 11th, and the reason: "the dispatch of business." This may be taken to. mean,.in brief, an empty' treasury. Matters of vital interest will come before- our legislators, chief]y in regard to public works. In all probability the ^session will last until Christmas, affording ample time for the new members to prepare and deliver impressiveand elegant maiden speeches. Perhaps none will shine more than the esteemed member for tlie south riding, J. Fred Hume. If not, then the svstemaDic poaching anil wiiiness of John7-Hou&^ ston and DavidB.
