Thursday saw the termination ol the present contract between the Omaha smelting* works and the Slocan Star people, the last of the ore stored at Three Forks for almost a year having* been sent forward on that day. The Kootenai and Lytton each took-out-a big- load, 295,0C0 pounds in all, at the release value of $14,750. This has all been forwarded without a mishap of any kind, and in ; good • order. As intimated last week, the Alpha mine, on Four Mile creek, which commenced'the season's shipments, has resumed its export, though in smaller quantities. The ore, as at first, goes to Omaha, and its returns are certain to convince Alex. Mackenzie of the value of his excellent property. Three carloads of ore from this mine were brought in oh Tuesday's train, having been re- shipped from the steamer W. Hunter at Roseberry. The Le Rbi mine, on Trail-creek," made its usual weekly shipment, amounting to 44 tons, to East Helena, at a valuation of $2,200. Lane Gilliam forwarded from Kaslo 25£ tons to Great Falls, the-value ber ing $2,550.. Locally the shipments stand;—' v - - - ' of satisfaction, from 6 to 8.

Horace Smith, a half breed- who shot a white man named J. McKay in a quarrel over a squatter's right, near Looinis, Wash., has fled into this province. McKay's life was saved by a happy accident, Smith's bullet passing through his arm and lodging in his pocket book that he carried in his breast pocket. Thanksgiving Dinner. Following up the success ofthe Hallowe'en dinner, the Hotel Nakusp has an elegant spread prepared in honor of Thanksgiving day, as will be gleaned from a perusal of the menu published in another part ©f this issue. Mrs. Whyte superintends the details and guarantees to all who attend—everyone is welcome—the best' the road is ready to take it E. Mohun, C.E., Government inspector, who has returned to .Victoria from an official visit to Nakusp, says, in the Colonist, that the Nakusp & Slocan Railway is practically fiaisjied trains having been running upon it for several days, the length of the road being 37 miles. From three to six carloads of ore pass over it daily, machinery for the concentrator and other freight being shipped by it. He has no doubt that in every way it will be a success and meet the requirements of the district. It is a capital r6ad, but owing to the mountainous character of the country some ,of the grades are very heavy. Nevertheless it makes from 15 to 20 miles an hour with ease and safety. The bridges are well built and there is a good solid..road bed, so that in all probability it will be possible to cover the whole distance before long in two and one half hours. The company is building a wharf 800 feet long at Nakusp, and a wharf and freight shed at Wilson creek The buildings at Nakusp and Three Forks are of first class construction, much the same as those at Kamloops, every facility being afforded for the handling of heavy freight. The road is reached 15 miles by rail from Revelstoke to Wigwam, thence by steamer to Nakusp. Mr. Mohun came down to Victoria from Nakusp in 39 hours, including a six hours lay-off at Revelstoke. At present the ore shipments do not equal the full carrying capacity of the road, for the reason that the rdad is not run up to its facilities. But there is plenty of ore so soon as Rossland Will Undoubtedly Get the Works. It is only a question of a short time when Trail creek will have a smelter. At the present time it costs $4 per ton to take thc ore from thc mines to the railroad at Northport. The total cost of transportation to,Tacoma and treatment is SflG per ton. . Bergstown, an assaybr'from Butte, visited the'eamo 'fchisfa-lV^nd oifered to smelt'thc ore for $10, He afterwards dropped his price-to ^7-.per ton, and wanted the Le. Roi company to guarantee him 20,000 ton's of "ore before he would set up-hjs HO,G00'.plant.* The Le, Roi people are looking: for the best of it, ' and by investigation discovered that their ore could, be treated for $4.50 per ton, and in consequence did not close any deal with the Montana man. When the ore can be treated so cheaply at the mines, it is a foregone conclusion that the owners will not ship much of tlieir product to Tacoma. -Northport is putting forth its claims as a- smelting point, but it is more than likely that thc smelter or smelt- ers-'will nestle in the shadow of Spokane nlount^_;^yQ4-Ja^^^.QlltLol, the ^jacenf town "of' Rossland a second Butte," if there is to be a Butte in this country. Have Known Him. Many prospectors in the Kootena}' country knew Mark Twain when he breathed the sage brush air of Nevada and did penance on the Aurora Standard and the Virginia City Enterprise. A Slocan veteran said the other day that when he knew the noted humorist, Mark was in hard luck and bached one winter in a cabin with two miners at Aurora. The trio had hard work to keep loaded with pork and beans, but Mark was proud, and in order to keep up appearances and leave the impression with the neighbors that they were wealthy, Mark would take a gunny sack and gather up the empty cans at the rear of the restaurants. He would then take them to the cabin and strew around it the cans marked roast turkey, pineapple, bciled elephant, corned sausage, fried shrimps, and other names suggestive of princely living. Mark flanked the cans with oyster shells and bottles labeled Dry, Extra Dry, and Very Dry. In this way.and by not giv ng dinner parties, or allowing strangers to visit the interior of the domicile, Mark and his partners led the people of Aurora to believe tliat they were worn-out millionaires desirous of living retired lives. It was reported recently that Mark was again in hard luck and that he could not work the saine racket in Hartford with th_ same success that he did in the Nevada gold camp, many, many years ago. _____ Mrs. Breeden, an aged widow, died at Three Forks and was buried Sunday, Rev.

From present indications it looks as if there would not be much snow, between New Denver, and Three Forks" this winter. This would be New Denver's luck. Build a good sleigh road and then have the fleecy reruse to remain for the season. Instead of the Government making the holders of property in New Denver settle up in full, they should throw off the balance due, and give each man a ' clear deed who would build upon his property.
