SHOULD HAVE .News has been received by the Presbyterian board ^of foreign missions from Oroomiah, Persia, that an Amenian christian had been brutally murdered by a native mob. The victims name is Agah Jon, an Armenian by u birth. He was a prosperous merehant in the city of Oroomiah and a prominent member of the Presbyterian church in that place having been converted to Christianity sometime ago by the missionaries of the board at that station. According to the accounts, Agah John acted as the agent of a Mohammedan woman j who wished to purchase a piece of property;"' She called at;' the shop of her agent on the day in question and he reported that he had not as yet been able to Make the purchase of the .lands she desired to obtain. Much angered by the delay in carrying out her wishes the woman wreiit to some of the most influential among the natives and told them that Agah Jon had grossly insulted her. These people quickly spread the rumor abroad, and in a short time a howling mob gathered in front of the unfortunate merchant's store. The crowd broke down the doors and dragged the poof man but into the street and carried him to the mosque. There ft hey offered him his life and a large,.-, sum of money if he would renounce Christianity. He refused t& comply with their demands, and after^tortur- ing him they dragged him to the top of the mosque and,threw him bodily to the ground. AJsri^f lay prostrate •and scarcely breathing, a heavy stone was dropped upon him from a great height, which crushed all the life out of him and broke every bone in his body. Not satisfied with their accomplishments, the mob savagely attacked the corpse with knives and daggers. A wife and children survive him. More dwelling houses. yfc The trade of Trout Creek Valley.

The Chinese Exclusion Act, better, known as the Geary Act, is about to be superceded by the ■ McG-reary Act. Mr. McGeary is a representative from ^Kentucky, and he is chairman of the committee, on Foreign Relations. The chief feature of the, new . bill is that it extends the time for registration six months after its pas-: , sage. The new law, it is contended,- will give the Chinese in the United) States time to, register. The sup-; porters of "theTre^ry law ask, very; naturally, what guarantee is there that this new law will be better observed by the Chinese than the. one now on the statute book? It may be that the Chinese, depending on their govermnent to protect them, will not observe the new law any better than thev did the old one. it is pretty certain that the Geary law, which is now generally discredited, throughout the union, lias a history which has not yet been made public. The United States government evidently must have been deterred by something, besides the fear of offending those who regard it as iniguitious and unworthy a Christian nation, from, putting it in force The course pursued by the Cleveland administration with respect to the Geary law is, to say the least, unusual, and, one which it would not have ventured to. pursue if the law had been a popular one. The secret will no doubt, leak out before long. It is not known- with anv decree of certainty what is the precise attitude which the government of China has assumed with respect to tlie Geary law.—Colonist. BONANZA CITY HOTEL. SLOCAN LAKE.

The fault with a majority of the people who write lip a mining country is that they know nothing about mining, and what they have to say disgusts instead of attract mining men. 'Here is another country,' they say, 'boomers are trying , to engineer a rush into.' I have had occasion lately," continued Mr. Fisher '.'■'to make a practical estimate for a practical man of the number of men actually at work in the Slocan, and of the probable outputs of the mines with their present openings and without any further development work being done. I found, as nearly as I could estimate it, that there were 140 men at work, and that the put- put of the mines wouln not be less than 900 tons a month from now till the 7rst of July next. That is at the present price of silver. Of course if silver improves or if improvements in transportation become available the output will be very much larger. -'-Ncy-' I cannot say anything about the individual mines on which my calcu- lations are based, as I do not care to talk about other people's property in that way.

Title | Nakusp Ledge |
Publisher | Nakusp, B.C. : R.T. Lowery |
Date Issued | 1893-10-19 |
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. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919. |
