Next spring he STOCK A BRICK Fred Stock tho original lessee of the Chapleau mine has given The Ledge tho particulars about tho man E. E. Savage who recently skipped from Slocan City with a $900 gold brick. Some time ago Mr. Stock transferred his lease to a Seattle company. W. E. Fry of tho Seattle company engaged a hard-faced individual by the name of E. E. Savage to build bridges at the Chapleau for a wage of $3.50 a day with authority to hire two men for assistants at $2 a day and board. Savage mined some ore and ran the mill without any authority whatever, and a short time ago skipped out with a $900 gold brick without paying tbe men he had hired or the other bills he had contracted. The Chapleau mine and mill has had a troubled career, but its bright days will soon be here. The police in Seattle cannot find Savage, but it is only a matter of timo until he is located, with or without tho gold brink. JAPS, OLD CHAPS Tokio, Oct. 2.—The Japanese generals who are directing tho campaign against the Russians are by no means youthful. Marquis Yamagata (field-marshal) is sixty six years old. Marquis Oyama .(.field-marshal) Js-'sixty-twOj^Count Nodzn is sixty-three, Count Kat- sura (premier) is fifty-seven, Viscount Sakuma is fifty-nine, Baron Knroki (first army) is sixty, Bar- Oku (second army) is fifty-eight. The September excitement has passed into history with nearly all good marks to its memory. The second annual Fair held in this city was .a pronounced success, and caused an immense amount of satisfaction. The hotels were crowded with guests, although up to the timo of going-to press wo have had no report af anyone sleeping on the street. Even those who played blackjack in*some of the hotels evidently had enough left to get a bed. The streets wero lit by stringers of electric lights while on the corner of Hall and Vernon streets alone caudle sput and sputtered, a dim, but forcible sarcasm \ipou this city'B feeble electric light. Visitors came from many parts of the couutry. A preacher and a policeman came in from New Denver, but Rossland was not represented owing to the walking being sloppy. Of course, the only Maxy waB here, but he does not count. Sandon sent a fine lot of farmers, and from the smile on Ewie Cameron's face he must have got a prize for something. Bill Brandon, who has a forty acre farm back of Silverton got pointers enough for a lifetime, although if the truth wero known he probably BM-vftd his time on a ranch near Guelph long before he mined silver oro in Colorado and the Slocan. Kaslo saved the vegetable exhibit from an appearance of lingering consumption, and Theo Adams filled his sack with prizes, besides the baby show. At a Fair babies should receive more consideration than any other exhibits. Without them we can have no /airs, but even the dogs got better quarters at the Nelson Fair, and few bachelors were on the directorate. The babies should always come first, and everyone should get first prize. That is the only way to successfully run an exhibition of babies, and may often .-»ve lives, for there is no telling what some women will do to a judge. The poultry exhibit was the best this far west of Bruce, and gives great promise for an abundance of fresh egg in the near future. With bread baked in his Dutch oven on his ranch far'away from women or their China cooks John Miles, the veteran prospector secured first prize. For a country that depends so much on Mining the mineral exhibit was nothing extraordinary. W. A. Jowett, the well-known musician had charge of it, and ores from Ymir, Slocan, Nelson, Rossland; Lardeau, Boundary, and East Kootenay were shown. The Trail and Nelson smelters had their products well displayed, consisting of silver, lead, copper,. SCAltOKLY CRIMINAL E. Radley, on trial before Judge Spinks on Tuesday for shooting a Chinamen whilo intoxicated a fortnight ago, was released on suspend ed sentence. Ho had been guilty of gross negligence but his offence was scarcely criminal. The judge, though ho could not make an order to that effect, suggested that Radley should reimburse tho Chinaman for loss of time, doctor's bills, etc.—• Vernon News. UOBHLANO MINKS etc. more ways than one the Chinese procession was a winning feature of the two days' show. The Chinese entered into it with great enthusiasm and spent their money freely in providing one of the most unique spectacles ever seen in Canada. The procession represented a wedding march in China. To the writer it looked like a combined 12th of July and Kalithumpian parade, or a pictorial supplement to a New York yellow journal. It most certainly was an orange processioni. The music was grand and resembled the bag-pipes on the morning after St. Andrew's supper. The success of the parade upon the first day was so great that it was repeated upon the secoud day with the addition of the Chinese wedding ceremony upon the grounds. The famous marshal of the day, Charles Waterman, led the procession and his skilful manipulation of the Celestials had much to do with increasing the gate receipts. In some respects tho Fair was rather tame. No.pockets were picked, and not a hayseed got a chance to bet on the shell game, although the limit was raised enough to let some of the gay boys look at the hole cards. Not a sin- WAS OUT W72.000 Sheridan, Wyo., Oct. 1.—Joseph Leiter, the Chicago millionaire, is about $4000 richer as the result of a wild all-night play in tho faro bank. Young Leiter came out here from Chicago a short time ago to get a little rest and recreation and, incidentally, to look after the big "U" Cross Cattle compauy's affairs in which he is interested, near Clearmont. A few days of ranching palled on him and he came up to Sheridan from the Clearmont ranch last night for a little excitement. , Shortly after midnight he strolled into Fred Littleton's saloon and casually began to play the faro bank. From bets of from $50 to $100 on a card they increased as tho wheat plunger went deeper and deeper into his cheque book. Finally as much as $8000 was played on the turn of the card. In less than three hours Loiter was $72,- 000 to the bad. Through* it all, however, he chatted laughingly with Littleton. Luck finally turned and when the game broke up at 4 o'clock in tho morning Leiter was the winner by $4000.

Tho Boundary did not get In to any extent, and lost a grand chance for a free ad, Some fruit from tho Okanagan was exhibited unofficially, but really almost auy- thing grown on Al Gray's rauch would mako it look like a star at high noon. Many local merchants mado fine displays, but most of their names we do not know. Wadds Bros, showed views of scenery that intoxicated every orll«t iu the crowd, whilo McArthur & Co. displayed their furniture itt a way that is liable to increase matrimony, and Patenaude occasionally (lashed diamonds that wero worth thousands of dollars.

It is now in Spokane and will eventually be sent to the Toronto nuiversity musetfm.' Specimons from tho Ottawa, Cripple Stick, Reliance, J.

The brick was chained down when our report or went through tho building, pro bably owing to tho fact that Dave Carley lives near tho Fair grounds. High grade copper ore from Whito Fish crook in East Kootenay was shown by Mrs. Jennie E. Harris, aud her son, O. M. Harris. One specimen carried 29 per cent, copper.

Such a record is hard to beat even in ParadiBe, and shows that the far west has lost its wool. After the show was over several exhibitors complained that their exhibits wore stolen or destroyed, and their prizes and entry cards thrown in the discard on tho floor, and annoyances of this kind should bo prevented at all future fairs. The Nelson Fair has cOmo to stay and should grow in greatness with each passing year. Next year the timo should be extended to three or four days.

Mr. Wilson in that pleasant and winning way of his explains tho matter thusly: When Carlson & Porter went on the rocks of adversity their creditors placed accounts in the hands of various law firms for collections. Some accounts were sent to Galliher & Wilson. When tho, government decided to pay the accounts the cheques wore sent to tho various law firms and and in settling with their clients they deducted the usual 10 per cent. Creditors who had sent their claims direct to the government saved the 10. per cent. Mr. Wilson says that while ho may be unfortunate enough to havo an M.P. for a partner ho fails to soe why hoshouldnotbecntitlod to the usual foes paid other firms in the country. From a legal standpoint wo believe Mr. Wilson to bo justified in collecting his commission, but do uot think that any lawyer should have been paid for collecting tho accounts against Carlson & Porter. If tho lawyers had collected tho money from Carlson & Porter it would be simply businesh to receive their 10 per cent. When the government paid the bills in full we fail to see what tho lawyers had to do with tho collecting. All of them simply took advautago of tho situation to make a lawyer's honest dollar, and (Salliher & Wilson did no morn than the balance of the gentlemen who live upon the mistakes mid troubles of mankind.

If they contribute to its needs, ,it is through pure condescension. They sojourn in the state solely to be protected, respected, remunerated; they do tho state honor enough by honoring it with their presence, aiding it with their prayers, enlightening it with their wisdom, and relieving it of its money-bags.—Voltaire. The preservation of health is at least not less important than the preservation of Hebrew mytholagy; and communities who force their children to sacrifice a large portion of their time to tho study of Asiatic miracle-legends might well permit them to devote an occasional hour or two to the study of modern physiology.—Felix L. Oswald. The affections of the higher animals aro not less tender and warm than those of man. The fidelity and devotion of the dog, the maternal love of the lioness, tlio conjugal love and connubial fidelity of doves and love birds are proverbial and might serve as examples to many men. If these virtues are to bo called "instincts," then they deserve tho same name in mankind Lastly, with regard to thought, the comparative consideration of which doubtless presents most difficulties, this much may with certainty bo inferred—especially from an examination of tho comparative psychology of cultivated domestic animals—that tho processes of thinking here follow the same laws as in ourselves. Experiences everywhere form tho foundation of conceptions, and lead to the recognition of the connection between cause and effect. . . . Many Christian missionaries, who, after long years of fruitless endeavor to civilize these lowest races, havo abandoned to attempt,- oxprcss the same harsh judgement, and maintain that it would be easier to train the most intelligent domestic animhls to a moral and civilized life than these unreasoning, brute liko men. For instance, the. able Austrian missionary Morlang, who tried for many years without ihe slightest success to civilize the ape-like negro tribes on the upper Nile, expressly says that any mission to such savages is absolutely usolcs s They stand far below unreasoning animals; the latter at least show signs of affection toward them, whereas Uicbo brutal natives are utterly incapable of any feeling of gratitude."— Haeckol.

Indifference to many of tho plainest health laws '^niaTur«~ls^nrilio~repToaciroT called civilization, about tho golden DKVE_.OP-lI.NT OF MINUS While undoubtedly the miners' maxim, "follow the ore", is a good ono, and as a general principle is a better ono than that which advises vertical shafts and mine workings laid out with absolute mechanical accuracy, it is unwise for tbe mine operator to follow the ore so closely that no prospecting beyond the walls is undertaken, says the Mining and Scientific Press. Many, good mines have been closed down and abandoned for years, simply through "the failure to extend the work 'of exploration beyond the walls of the vein. Ore shoots in veins pinch out, overlay, and send out branches, and it should bo the aim of the careful mine superintendent to keep in Bight all the possibilities of his mine, by moans of properly-disected crosscuts, as well as to explore the single fissure in which he chances to find a body of pay ore. Some years since a mine operator bonded a mine in the Southwest, pushed development work expeditiously, but always in the oro shoot, stopping work as soon as the workings ran out of oro. As a result the extent of the ore shoot was soon determined, and tho mine was disposed of at a price much below that which had beon anticipated. A short timo thereafter the disappointed operator described the conditions found at the mine, saying that the oro shoot "feathered out" on the edges, the wall not being in sight—there being heavy salvages of clay present. A mining engineer to whom these conditions wero described. at once gave it as his opinion that the ore shoot was only one of a series and that another would be found by cross-cutting either to foot or hanging, and this proved to be tho case, for within 6 foot a second shoot waa discovered by crosscutting to the hanging side, and this proved to bo characteristic of the occurrence of oro in that mine. When a mine is first opened, it-is wise to have the workings follow the vein closely, but later, when tho development of the vein justifies it, it is often economical to sink a vortical shaft in the hanging wall, which will intersect the vein at considerable depth, or to sink an incline at a uni form angle in either foot or hanging wall, preferably the latter, that.tbe ore might be hoisted at less expense and in greater amount than through a shaft having numerous changes of dip and other irregularities.

On the west side of Poplar creek, opposite the Swedo group, is what is known locally as the Marquis & Gilbert group, comprising the Gold Park, Ochro, Ophir and Ophlr Fraction mineral claims This group was ono ol tho first locations on Poplar crook and is one ot tho best. There aro two largo loads on tho property, besides several small ones. The two largo leads lio between walls about 200 foot apart, so this wholo 200 foot may safely bo called ledgo matter, as it all carries freo milling valuos, On tho foot wall thoro Is a load 22 foot in width, which has been opened up by surface crosscuts for a distancn of between threo and four hundred foot. Tho lead is quartz carrying arsenical iron with freo milling values. Along this (hero havo Also been a number of crosscuts mn through the schist—carrying carbonates—which pan freely. Between tho lead and the hanging wall there is a small quartz Ioail, averaging about 12 inches in width, which carries high values. On tho hanging wall thoro is another largo quartz lead, It feet in width, which gave 112 75 in gold—mill tost—to tho ton. This If ad has Also boon opened np by crosscuts for a distance of 800 feet. Thnso nnd Also four small loads north woflt Af those, from one of which a shipment was trade to thosmoltor Uit fall. Although the owner* do not care to hAVA the returns from tho shipment published, the values were more than satisfactory. Tho load from which the shipment was made has been stripped foradistancoot250foot, and a 20-foot shaft sunk on it. Somo very rich specimens have been takoiv from the group, ono sample running $11,600 to tho ton In free gold. From Cascade to wost ot Rapid creek there appears to be a continuous belt of freo milling ore, running east and west, and from n milo to a mile and a half iu width. Tho Golden Eagle on Cascade creek, has tho same formation as the Swcdo, Marquis and Gilbert, tho Broken Hill, and across Rapid croak on the west through tho Morning group, and possibly much farther west, as sullicent work has not yet been done as far as Rusty creek to determine whether tho lodgosand values continue. On tho Broken Hill, Rapid crook thoro is tho arsenical Iron carrying vory high gold valuos, just tho same as on the Swede and Marquis & Gilbert group. On the Calumet and Heels, Rapid creek there Is tho samo largo quarts lead with free milling values in tho schist alongside, as thcro is in tho Marquis and Gilbert, Development will probably prove that tho high grade bolt extends east and west o distancn of from twelve to fifteen miles.

Numerous other properties are being worked in this section. The Fort Steele district is underlaid with deposits of the precious metals and it only needs a little perseverance aud the expenditure of capital to bring them to tho surface and double the already great production of mineral wealth from the mineg of the district. Many properties on Tracy, Wild Horse creek and Buil river are already past the prospect stage and will become paying producers upon tho completion of the Kootenay Central railway,, while others" are giving great promise of developing into producers. Wild Horse creek is a gold-producing camp, and has the basis for a mild boom upon the completion of the K.O. railway. Great activity , continues in the construction of a smelter at Marys- ville.

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. |
