Slocan Ave. Nelson showed more than its wonted activity last week, by reason of the holdinir of the autumn assizes, before Mr. Justice Crease, necessitating the attendance of innumerable legal luminaries, witnesses, clients, etc. The docket was a light one, yet the time consumed in the disposal of the cases'was so extended, that a redistribution of the tabulated sittings of the court in other places is incumbent. Among those present' at the assizes were: Mr. Justice Crease and wife; Hon. Theodore and Mrs. Davie; Messrs. McAnn & McArthur, Kaslo; li. D. Kerr, New Denver; atnd C. Wilson, Vancouver. The following grand jurors answered the roll-.call: Messrs. Selous (foreman), Robson, Holt, Lemon, Fletcher, Farley, Houston, Hodgins, Neelands, Rolfe, McGregor, McKenzie, A. Fletcher. Henderson, . West, and Proctor. These were duly charged by His Lordship as. to their duties, and,- after finding a true bill in the- case of Regina vs. Thomas, for indecent assault, made their presentments In this attention was called'to. the absence of crime in the district during the past year; impossibility of procuring evidence in the case of Regina vs. Kerlin; dangerous location of a powder magazine near Nelson; inad: equacy and poor management of the county gaol; pressing need of a Court Judicial District, owing to increased mining interests, and a registrar's office; necessity of a Petty. Debtor's Act; the urgent need of a Land Registry office for West Kootenay; requisite amendment to the' Mineral Act regarding- annual assessment work on claims; unsanitary condition of the city of Kaslo; and lack of proper police protection in the Slocan. The case of Regina vs, Ediams, for alleged stealth of ore from the Bon Ton mine was, at the suggestion of the Attorney General, thrown out, because of "the absence of incriminating evidence. Croasdaile vs, Hall, a suit for commission for arranging the sale of the Silver King property to English capitalists, resulted in a verdict of $5,750 in favor of the plaintiff. Regina vs, Thomas, for indecent assault on Mrs. Hesketh, the principals hailing from Nakusp, came to an unexpected end. Attorney General Davie, for the Crown, proved that the accused had committed the assault, but R.B. Kerr, of New Denver, who defended, succeeded in nailing the date of the assault down to the 18th of last January, and on tlut day he proved a perfect and clear alibi. ' Under tlie circumstances the accused was advised to plead guilty to common assault, which he did, and was dismissed with a few cautionary remarks frqua the Bench, to appear for sentence when called on. Mr. Kerr was warmly congratulated upon the able manner in which he handled the defence. Hendryx vs. Hennessey, for an interest in the Noble Fh e group «..f mines/ in which the former alleges he grub-staked tlie latter when the property -was discovered, was still occupying the attention of the court when last heard of. WANT SLOCAN ORE. Various Smelting Comr antes Negotiating for Supplies. Capt. Fitzstubbs Exonerated. Just now a keen competition is existing between the rival smelting companies to control the output of the Slocan mines. So' far, however, the Grant-Oma ha Smelting Co., of Omaha, Neb., represented by E. J. Matthews, formerly of Kaslo, has the inside track. They have contracted'with the McNaughts for'800 tons ofthe Al- p a ore, from Four-mile creek, and this is being rapidly handled by way of Roseberry and the Nakusp & Slocan Railway. The first shipment psssed up to Revelstoke last Thurs-, day, amounting to CO*tons, while 90 more followed on Monday. There is a strong possibility ©f this contract negotiating , Mr. Justice Crease, who. sat on the recent investigation into tho charges j being enlarged to over 1,000 tons of alleged malfeasance in office, made against Gold Commissioner Fitzstubbs by John Sanderson, intimated last week that he had forwarded his report to Lieut. -Governor Dewdney, and that he had reported strongly in favor of the Captain,, and' exonerating him entirely from . ,all suspicion of wrong-doing. " Capt.. Fitzstubbs has resumfii^hi&^dtttefis?*. as, -gold commissioner, which he was?, compelled ..to relinquish some months;ago owing,to ill health. Ore Shipments. Ore is coming into town at a lively rate, several carloads each day being billed. ( The first shipment out was made on Thursday, via" Revelstbke, followed by still heavier shipments this week. The ore is from the Alpha mine on Four-mile creek, and is pon- signed to the Omaha smelter, E. J. Matthews being the representative bu;f er. Each week a tabulated account will be kept • in these columns of thev amount shipped, as below; DATE. MINE. WEIGHT. VAX.UE. Sept 18 Alpha 120,000 lbs. § G,000 Sept. 17 " 189.000 P,000 Sept. 19 ". 220,0)0 11,000 The value is reckoned on the basis of the release manifest of $100 per ton, but this will be found to be <>elow rather than above the actual worth of the ore. Nakusp sent a numberof representatives to the Hot Springs on Monday to attend the grand ball, given by Bruce Craddock, at the opening of his'palatial sanitarium. A most enjoyable social hop took place at the Leland House on Monday evening. Upwards of 30 persons were present, and they had a huge time. Open-handed hospitality was shown to all by mine Host and Hostess McDougald. There is some sham for the handling of the Slocan Sta • output, to the extent of 2,600 tons, and it is believed that Mr. Matthews will capture that for his firm.t Other buyers are treating for supplies from different mines, on behalf of the smelters at Tacoma, Great Falls, San Francisco, etc.- It is known also that .Mi*; Young, -owEer*. of: the,* Golden- smelter, is in the Slocan, seeking to contract for about 2,000 tons of second class ore for his works, to bo shipped out via this town and Revelstoke. The rate quoted for shipment is $6 per ton to Nakusp, fience >}lb' to Omaha; $8 per ton to Great Falls or Tacoma, and $10.50 to San Francisco. Shippers are somewhat dubious of the Revelstoke route during the winter, owing to the uncertain transfer from the head of the lake to the Wigwam, a point on the R.& A.L.R. some 15 miles below Revelstoke. The C. P.R. have undertaken to build th!-* sleigh road and maintain commu; - cation nil winter, and will accept all ore proffered. If they fail, Kaslo will again experience the benefit of the ore traffic. In any case it will get a share, but as it costs more to haul it that way, the odds* are in favor of the Nakusp route. Mr. Matthews-states that the American'' tariff changes have benefited Slocan mine owners to about $12 per ton on all ore exported to the other side. Relative to the Pilot Bay smelter, he failed to see how its operation could be made a financial success, owing to the lack of proper fluxes, the-cost pf. importing .fuel, and the similarity of the ores to be offered for treatment. A number of small capital ists, from Puget Sound, have gone into the Big' Bend in the past two weeks. •s *T) '.-.-■-rr:•.--r'^l::^■^rJS•J^-•;'*-.:l.->lli^lir^^i*i■■- ^1JJi^ff>mw,-.w-w.«. i },1 fVi.

They think this layer could be reached by sinking a shaft near the buildings, but they can't sink a shaft profitably on account of the water coming in. The black sand lays on clay, and all the layer, and the other layers above it, are, so to speak, afloat with water. So they work only after a storm or after a heavy surf, because rollers from' distant storms sometimes do the work for them when no wind is blowing there. The weather on the average keeps them busy about half tl e line. The men work the sand on shares, and do so well that, paradoxical as it inay seem, there is difficulty in keep- . , ing a full gang of "men at work. The trouble is that so soon as the men get a few ounces of gold dust to their credit they must take it and go away to Punta Arenas and swap.it for such joys as may be. had in that tiny metropolis. • Of the product of the diggings no definite statement is made. Julius ■- Popper in his pamphlet"says that his statement that he had found gold at Paramo was derided as an effort to sell mine stock until he had made two1 shipments' of dust, the first weighing 17_- pounds and the other but little.short of 30. pounds. After that he had to fight to hold his claims, . while a camp that he had started oh vthe south side of San Sabastian bay, at an expense of several thousand dollars, was wholly destroyed by a troop of Chilean, soldiers, who made: an unwarranted . raid into-Argentine territory, hoping in that way to create a disturbance that would end "in Chile's acquiring the new gold diggings. • All the wonderful stories that have been told of other bonanza districts are told" in Terra del Fuego. The tale.of the party that abandoned his mine, which after digging a foot deeper paid his companion a fortune, and the yarn of the tenderfoot who started a mine in the most unlikely spot in the district and got rich are all there. Five or ten dollars a day are scoffed at by the bold prospectors, and those who remain at the old diggings to pan out this pitiful sum are regarded with contempt. There is not a mining camp in all the region such as Cripple Creek, Colo., or Calico, Cal. The placers, though found in "almost every sandy beach in the region, are all soon worked over and thereafter pay only day wages. So no camp or village springs up, as \-?ould were a rich true fissure vein discovered. But Ushuaia, in the Beagle1 channel, the capital of Argentine Terra del Fuego, has three stores and a small mixed population, besides the troops that maintain Ar-} gentine dignity, and, with its occasional Indian visitors, its happy-go- lucky architecture, and its heaps of empty bottles, is not unlike a North [Concluded on sexe th 1 GOVERNMENT HOUSE, VICTORIA.

PLACER. Cariboo Creek Miners Developing a liiew Feature. Since the inception of the placer fever on Cariboo creek, prospectors have been scouring the neighboring, hills, seeking to ^discover the quartz lead from whence come the coarse tailings found in the bed of the strea n 1. Th at tl leir efforts ha ve been successful is amply attested by the official' records here, and, for the time «being, the placer fever has given place to the quartz craze. So far the discoveries are centred round Cariboo creek and its tributaries, and .the ledges range in width from a few inches to' several feet. In many small streaks of galena appear, with an abundance of copper stains and white iron. Barren ledges are not infrequently met with, but in the main those staked out assay high in the yellow stuff. ■ The first claim staked out was t*c Golden Eagle, by George Hardie. This is located on the Government trail, on tFe west side of Cariboo creek, one and a half miles above Mineral creek. The ledge in tNs is well defined, several feet in width and of white quartz; An assay on this went as high as #481 in gold and 6 oz. in silver . per ton. D. A-., McDougald and P.M. Yingling purchased shares in this for several thousand dollars,, and it is their intention to prosecute development work in a vigorous manner. '"Since then ■ 19, other claims :have "been recorded, quite a number coming in this week. S. Walker and D. J. Darraugh "last week located-a mineral claim to .the foot of their placer property, and from the contour of the ground it is believed to be an extension of the Ora Grand a, owned by C. Vader and A. Taisior, assays from which have' shown over $70 in gold. The former couple have disposed of a third interest in their claim for a tidv sum, upon" the strength-of the surface showings. A test sample, of 12 pounds of rock will be forwarded to Vancouver next week for assay. These discoveries are not above 1G miles from town' and could be easily reached were a trail built in from the foot of the lake, affording a quicker route than bv wav of Burton Citv.

It has about thirty steamers a month in port. Consequently supplies—picks pans, clothing and food—are cheaper here than at any other miners'supply town in the world. But while a man may get these at a low price here he lias to buy a boat instead of the bur-, ros he would buy in the States to carry Jiis outfit.

The ore would go out by ' way of Kaslo. It is quite probable that the.Presbyterian" Mission. Board of Canada will station a missionary in this section of the district , this 'fall. The attention of Dr. Robertson, superintendent of that body, who is now in the province has been called to t^e matter.
