For County Court cases Fernie holds tho record for this year. Half the town talk of going to Nelson during the Fair week. There is uo chance to skip your ante in Fernie.

It may be a false alarm, but it is reported that Bill Tuttle has leased the Hume hotel in Nelson. Larry Doolan ia again roadmas- ter, after an absence of four months spent in recreation. The main street is littered with ,building material, and the sound of the hammer is the only music in the air. The glare from the coke ovens at night gives the scenery a tint that makes it resemble a pastoral scene in Dante's Inferno.

The end was painless. Since he ceased to be foreign minister on the retirement of his father in 1890, Prince Herbert Bismark had taken part in public affairs only as a member of the Reichstag. His attitude has been that of a man not appreciated by his sovereign and who was waiting in the back ground for an opportunity to resume his career. His delivery as a parliamentary speaker improved year by year. He always declined to join any political group, steadfastly calling himself an independent. Prince Bismark's father trained him for his successor as Chancellor of the German Empire and advanc ed him rapidly in his diplomatic Affairajn,jwJ^ichL„D08ition he took H.

Mr. Edmunds was accompanied by W. M. Kiddie who was also struck by the tender of the engine and is at present in a critical condition. Both men had heard the train coming but supposing it to be on a "Y" failed to get out of the way in time. Edmunds was a member of the Prince of Wales Lodge Number 517, F. and A. M. An inquest will be held. ARCHBISHOP CONSECRATED Borne, Sept. 18.—Father Agios, the newly appointed Apostolic delegate to the Philippines, was today consecrated Arch-Bishop of Palmira.

There has been no fighting Bince Sept. 1, with the exception of artillery and qutposfc exchanges. The Japanese shells have done great damage to the hospital and other buildings in Port Arthur but the loss of life from these bombardments has been very slight. Madame Stoessel is at the head of the Red-Cross work. She is in constant attendance at the hospitals. The soldiers consider her the guardian angel.

General Sakharoff reports that there has been no fighting in locality of Mukden Friday or Saturday, but notes the arrival of reinforcements for the Japanese along the whole line. The interval of quiet has afforded General Kuropatkin opportunity to strengthen his defences, and he haB received large reinforcement- since his retreat to Mukden. There are indications of a revival of the struggle for the powtmion of Port Arthur.

His common-sense utterances are paraded in big type by the servile press in order to catch the pennies from those who stand in awe of anything dressed in robes and called a bishop. J. Pierpont Morgan accompanied the bishop, but w'aB scarcely noticed, so intensely is Toronto stuck on any great figure in tho religious world. Morgan is a man who has made millions, not by toiling with his hands, but through scheming with his brains to gain possession of more wealth than he could use in a million years. Through stock deals that many times were nothing more than legalized robbery ho crushed hia opponents, broke many n heart, and is now probably travelling with a bishop in order to stick balm on * wounded conscience. Wealth covers a multitude of sins, and we are certain that both Morgan and the bishop consider themselves real good men, one with hia millions, the other with his S75,000 a year, whilo out in many a cold street tonight a shivering child is longing for a crust, or the soft side of any kind of 1ml.

It is allright provided you have a conscience. Conscience is a product of civilization and training. Without what is called conscience a man is just the same as any other animal.

X Eleventh Year THE LEDGE, NELSON, B.C., SEPTEMBER 19, 1904. FoTTy oF lirip^HaTfsfin From tho day when tho Slavs and kindred tribes accepted as their Czar, the brigand prince of the Varangians (a wandering1 horde of land pirates) to this eventful hour, Russia has persjs tently pursued the policy of Imperial Expansion What has it done for her!' After all these years of seeming success it has brought tho imperial government to the verge of destruction. There has not been one day in all those centuries that Russia'..hand, wero stained with innocent blood. Practicing oppression abroad, she established and maintained a despotism at home as dovilished and damnable as ever cursed a race, or nation. By fire and sword she has won to her standard the broadest expanse of territory ever brought under tlie dominion of a Hag, Tho "glory" of expansion is here, The governmental policy of of Russia is black with infamy, red with cruelty, and saturated with blood. Her throne rests not upon justice but brute force. The Czar governs not by law, but by prison bar and bayonet. The ruling classes,'the lirienl des cendants ot the Varangian pirate princes are well pleased with themselves aud their Czar. But the people —their victims—hate and abhor, while they wait, work and pray for the hour when destiny shall bid tlietn strike tho shackles from bowed necks and bleeding limbs, and become free men. Standing erect in God's sunlight, armed with righteous miglit they will smash to smithereens Russia's reeking throne and mangle to junk both scepter and crown. That fateful hour will come at no distant day. Who knows but what, driven from America by the sword of imperialism, Freedom may find a refuge in Russia? Surely she must visit all lands ere she is banished from the world. As yet her smiles have never beamed on the land of the Czars. Possibly some country where she has hitherto been unknown may receive and make her queen for over. —-W^shingtoii-rtiid-JcffersonTiierlin_tiro belief that they had established her throne m-Amcrica. They little dream ed that she would be driven into exile, sia's military reputation is lost forever. Her valting pride has been humbled in the dust, and Japan has won undying glory. Her Deweysand Schleys have taken their places in the world's annals;. Her Hobsons are too numerous ,to mention, while her Grants, Logans and Lees, have each carved for himself a niche in war's temple of eternal frame. Japan is fighting not for territoay, but for a principal. She is trying to put a stop to Russia's •'criminal aggression." Here is where she gats my sympathy. Japan deserves the applause of all lovers of liberty. Like the British lion the Russian bear, hitherto in his career of Imperial Expansion haB had to deal only with weak people, poorly armed. In most cases tbey wero naked savages, who opposed their spears, to mausers, and gat'ing guns, England went up against the "real thing*'in South Africa, and it took her nearly three years to whip a handful of farmers. It was necessary then to pit five of her cheap heroes against one Boer, to win. The Boer war brought England to the very verge of financial ruin, aud saddled her people with eternal debt. * Russia can never whip the Japs. Trouble is brewing at home. Hell is liable to break loose any instant in the very shadow of the Imperial palace. The Jap soldier is a freeman. The Russian soldier is a serf. This tells the tale. The Jap has something for which to fight The Russian private is asked to fight for his oppressors. Natural sympathy for the white race has robbed the Japanese of much glory clue them for the way they havo conducted themselves irs the war with Russia. Had any white nation, who.«-e whole country comprised less territory than the. State of California, accomplished with the Japs have, the civilized world would be filled with their praises. War brutalizes people, but it is said the Japsare the most humane soldiers in tho world. Kvon when the great Russian admiral was slain at Port Arthur, the Japs at home held public meetings and formed funeral processions throughout the land in honor of their dead enemy. Was the like ever heard of before? They practice Christian virtues without professing them. The Russians profess Christain virtues, but don't practice them. Russia is to receive at the hands of Japan, the red reward of criminal aggression, and oppression. Her peasantry, her Polish and Finnish subjects glory in her defeat and humiliation. Let us hope that all nations may learn from her expert ence that Imperial Expansion does uot pay.—Windlo's Gatling gun. •SO % The Spyglass In accordance with a request from owing that amount and also $22,000 due if —.... — and the god of commercialism enthroVm. ed in her stead. They could not believe that the American Eagle would be transformed into a buzzard and feast upon tho dead bodies of men who died for the belief that government derive their just powers from tho coiiBenJr of the governed." f Lincoln's words are true: "They who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves and under a just God cannot long retain it.'' Lincoln might have added: "And when once lost, it can never ho recovered,'^ When exiled by any people, freedom never returns to "cast her pearls before swine,'' For this reason, if for no other, American patriots should be careful lest they bo deceived hy the glamor of imperial expansion, and endorse a policy which denies to Filipinos the rights they claim (or themselves. RotiHtioau'tJ warning should blaze from every editorial page, ami Hash from cvnry pulpit iu the land. It should be printed In every school book, and committed to memory by All who love the Hag of stars. Hero is It: "Oh ye people who are free, remein* her tliu maxim Hint liberty may be acquired, but never recovered " Thi) world's history confirms tlie truth of these burning words, ' Liberty msy be acquired, but never recovered.'• The Israelites, acquired liberty- were led by a pillar of cloud by ilny and n pillar of lire by night," but when through lust of power and love of tr«>ld they l"»t liberty, It could not be recovered. Greece acquired liberty, anil while free tilled the whole world with light. When she !<>*t lt,recovery was absolutely lmpo«t»ihle, and today her greatnflMi and „ glory aw fading memories Thi* Roman llepuhli, acquired lib orty, but who believe* that the denim* danlf of her Cieeio* and Caesars conl«l recover it in ten million year*'/ We might continue the march backward over the path of human progress and point out the crumbling ruin, of republic*, empire*, throne, and systems of government and find no exception to thi* rule. In all land* whtfi'e frwlmn hits tu'vef reigned, there I* hone. ll«vfn*r*t**<mlr Tho Nugget, Mr. J. A. Magee, manager of the Spyglass company, operating on Poplar creek, has furnished the following information in regard to development done, and other matters in connection therewith. Tunneling on the Spyglass has cost slightly over $12 a foot. The payroll at the mine last month was $1,200. To those who are familiar with tho mine and the work done Mr Magee's report will, perhaps, appear rather under than over tlie. rn¥rkT-We*liope in future issues to give similar reports on tho Lucky Jack. Swede, Marquis and Gilbert, Mother Lode, Copper King, Broken Hill, Morning, Calumet and Hecla, and other properties, thus showing that although tho camp is but fifteen months old, a largo amount of development has been done with very satisfactory ro- suits. Following are the facts in reference to the Spyglass company's properties, and facts, only: "As requested by you, 1 herewith hand you a report of what has been dono on the Spyglass company's properties— tho Spyglass, Globe and Hawk mineral claims, since the first of June of the present year, on which date wo commenced work with a few uir-it. excavating a place for tents and cook camp, near tho site of our present tunnels, as at the timo we took possession of the properties tho only possible place to pitch h tent was about 1,500 feet down the mountain, in the valley of 1'oplar cieek Tho slope of the mountain is about 4ft degree*, and in order to get from the camp In the valley to when; we wished to commence work it woe necessary to make switch-backs (n zig-zag trail), which made tho distance about double, ami caused a loss of about HO minutes time on each shift, in two payments—December and February, besides some stock. Soon after securing the extension, August llth, we encountered the native silver, and after driving in that until near the end of the month, and making sure of its continuity, Mr. McLeod and myself went to Trout Lake to see Mr. Win- quist, and after a visit to the mine and considerable dickering we succeed in the un- securing a libera! discount on lnatumd_paymQ»t8r-for-«casnr"cn6reoy making a considerable saving to the stockholders. "Since purchasing tho property we have turned our attention to building camps, so as to have tlie men well housed before the fall rains set in, the only work iu the mine being two shifts driving an upraise to connect with No. I tunnel, which w'jll give better air in No. 2, Considerable ore will be taken out of this upraise and that, with the ore taken out of the tunnels, will be shipped as soon as wo can get it down for smelter test, The first pack train with this ore will arrive in Poplar Friday afternoon. "In conclusion, I might say, the Spyglass Company have built oi.o mile of new trail this month, from the mine down the mountain, connecting with the old trail in the valley. This gives us a fairly good grade and should we secure the government aid we hope for to make a wagon road, we will endeavor to continue shipping.' Always have a bottle of Sandon beer in your pocket when you go lifsbing. Write to the Now York Brewery ami get a case. "As soon as wo wero able to camp near our work wo stArtcd a tunnel to tap the lead sixty feet below No. 1 tunnel, which had been driven about thirty feet on tho leatl hy the original owners, and I may here 'explain that they had alio made n few open cuts across the lead hi.her up. In all there cuts there is more or hss ore, and on which showings we bonded the property. Tin-tunnel marred by myself, which we call No, 2, was driven about forty feet along Hie foot-wall, at which paint tho lend cuimi in, and we have tdiicu driven on it We encountered ore where we struck the Wad and had (rotii '_ to •! inches of gray copper, which tarried an average ol 2t« oz silver and a half ox In gold to the ton.

In support of it we print the following letter: "Pleased to know that you have a chance to place my property, but I an. doubtful about your being able to get your man through Nelson. Nelson is a bad spot, for several men I got that far were persuaded by men in your city to do nothing. Some of the business men in Nelson were so much afraid of anything starting up in the country that they succeeded in stopping them from investing, or drove tliem out of the country. If your prospective buyer calls at Nelson stay with him until you get him saftily out of the city. Otherwise the knockers will spoil the deal." This certainly is a nice reputation for a city with the men who are doing all they can to bring capital into the country. The knockers hurt Nelson more than any other section, for this city draws its business from the territory surrounding it for two hundred miles, and everything possible must be done to develop the resources of the country if we wish for a continuance of prosperity. 20th Century Clothing Is without an equal in cut. finish, price and durability.

A force of about 25 men is employed at the mine under the foremansliip of A. P. Garrett. Milling operations are iu charge of A. G. Street, a successful millwright of many years experience.
