AN INSULT TO BRITAIN. Chamberlain Deolines to Make a Statement Until After Meeting of Cabinet Council���Situation Serious. London, Sept. ll.���Mr. Chamberlain, remained nt the foreign office nntil shortly before midnight. He declined to make a Btalemeut regarding the Transvaal situation, but expressed a desire to see a copy of the follow-ng transcript of the Transvanl Government's reply issued by the Transvaal agent iu Brnesols tonight, which was furnished to him by the Associated Press. In reply to the dispatoh of the British Government, tha Transvaal Government, on Saturday, handed to the British agent at Pretoria a response of which the folowmg is the purport: The Government ot the South Africa Republio regret that Groat Britain is of opinion thut it is unable lo accept the proposals made hy the Transvaal dispatches of August 111 and 21, by whioh the term for obtaining the franchise was fixed at Hve years and the representation of the Witwaters- randt and district was included, the Government regrets the nine inasmuch as it considers itself, to deduce from the negotiations previous to its formal proposals, that the latter wonld be accept d by tho British Government In these conditions the Truns- vaul considers its proposals are annulled and iiuds it necessary to submit them to the Volksraad and the people It remains of the opinion that its proposals are extremely 1.1. "al and more than those presented by rhe British High Commissioner nt Bloemfontein It is also of the opinion that the eruditions attached to these proposals are reasonable. The Transvaal never desired Great Britian to abandon any rights possessed by virtue of the Louder, convention of 1884 or by virtue of International law. The Transvaal still hopes that these declarations will lead to a good understanding andsn- lntinn of the existing difficulties With regard to Ihe question of suzerainty, the Transvaal Government refers to 'be dispatch of April Hi, 1808 and considers it unnecessary to repeat that dispatch. Tho reply then proceeds to say: "The Transvaal Governmeut has already made known to the British agent its objections to accepting the proposals contained in the British High Commissioner's toleg'am of August 2, suggesting the appoiniuent of delegates to draw up a report ou the last electoral law voted by the Volksraad. If the one sided examination referred to iu the last British dispatch should show that the existing electoral law can be made eflicaoious the Transvaal Government is ready to make a proposal to the Volksraad. With this object it is also disposed to furnish all the information aud enlightenment possible, but is of opinion that the result of such an inquiry, so far as regards appreciation of the law will be of little value. Nevertheless, the Government is very desirous of satisfying Great liriitain in tho matter of the electoral law, and the representation of the mining distriots." The reply then refers to Mr. Chamberlain's proposals respecting a joint inquiry and sayB: "Consulerng that by these proposals, Great Britain does not aim at any interference in the affairs of the Transvaal, ami that this actiou would uot be rugarded as a precedent, but bas solely''for its object to ascertain whether the franchise law fulfills its purpose, the Transvaal will await the ulterior proposals nf Groat Britain as to the eventual constitution of such coinmissiion as well as the place und time for the meeting.'' The Transvaal Government further proposes at au early date, to send a reply to the letter of July 27, and expresses satisaotion that Great Britain has declared a readiness to negotiate on the question of a court of arbitration. It says it would like to learn, however, whether the free state Burghers would be admitted to such a court and What would be the scone of tho couit's discussion, it appearing to the Transvaal Government that the restrictions impose will prevent the attainment of the objeots aimen at. With regard to the ulterior conference, the Transvaal awaits the communications of Great Britain. The Brussels agent of the Iiansvaal olaims that in making its recent proposals the Transvaal Government has acted on the advice of [lie British agent in Pretoria, Mr. Umyinghum Greene. Early this morning tho Colonial Office began to receive the reply of the Transvaal Govornmant direct. Mr. Chamberlain on being again requested to roako a statement declined to do so nntil after the oabi- het council meeting Friday. Durban, Natal.

Mr. Kruger replied, promising compliance. President Stein, of the Orange Free State, is aUo urging President Kroger Recording to The Daily Mail correspondent to come to terms with Great Britain. Vancouver, Sept. 6.��� Major Holder, Renter's representative here, fought with the Boors in the eighties. He say lhe Burghers are playing a waiting game. They want to keep the Britishers from commencing hostilities til I the bad season commences iu November when they will have an inestimable advantage over the troops of the Empire. He reckons that Cere aro 10,000 Boers in the Transvaal,55,000 in Cape Colony, 20,000 in the Orange Kree Stale aud from 5,000 to 10,000 iu Natnl. Of course, all those in Capo Colony and Natal may not prove disloyal. A question of importance he says is, "what arc the blacks waiting to do?" There are two millions of them.

IS PASSING AWAY The Boundary Question Being Tamely Settled. REPORTED AGREEMENT. New York Paper Understands lhat the Two Interested Governments Have Come ti UnderstanfiDg, New York, Sept. 8.���A special to The Herald from Washington says: Great Britain and the United States bave practically agreed upon a temporary lino defining the boundary between Alaska and Canada. Negotiations now in progress relate only to minor questions growing out of the definition of the line. One of the unsettled questions relates to the status of minos owned by Americans whioh may lap over territory which has been under the oontrj of Canada. Representatives of American mine owners say that it would be unfair to Amerioans if no provision should be made for tbem in case their property should lie half on the American and halt on the Cauadian side. The prospective settlement of the bonudary question is due to concessions made not onlv by Great Britain, but by this Government alsi. Secretary Hay has not decided the matter of excluding Canada from the Lynn canal, but a port of entry on the Oanal will be given should thu final setilo- imriit fail to giv Canada a permanent harbor. Special Commissioner Kasson, wbo is u memVr of the Joint High Com mission, conferred with Secretary Hay today regarding the boundary negotiations. The modus Vivendi has nothing to do with the other questions pending betweeu Cauuda and the United States. Washington, D. C, Sept. 0. ��� While gratifying progress has been made toward the arrangement of a modus Vivendi temporarily defining the boundary line between Alaska nud British Columbia, and the officials concerned in the negotiations are hopeful that snecess will attend their efforts, it can oe stated that at this moment negotiations aie still lunniiig, and therefore it cannot he said that an amangement has been reached. It is still possible for the whole scheme to be disarranged, owing to the injection at this print of some such counter proposals as wrecked the modus thought to have been arranged by Ambassador Choate aud Lord Salisbury. State Department otticials insist that while it is not withiu reason to expect that any arrangement fair aud satisfactory to both parties should be arrived at, still it will be found when the result is made public that the United States has secure a majority of tho points in contention and that, the opposition has made concessions of the greatest importance. But one of tbe difficulties of the situatioan is that the department is excluded from making tbat fact officially known out of legard for the obstacles that would be placed in the way of any agreement by those element! in Canada and this country, who aro opposed to any sacrifice. Londou.

Connellsville, Pa., Sept. (i.-Fifty persons were injured, many of tbem seriouBly, in a rear end collison on the Baltimore and Ohio R. R. tonight at Coniiellsville station. The presence of mind of Engineer John Haggertv alone saved the lives of many. The first sec- tiion of train No. 5, a special of eight Wagner sleepers, ran into the rear end of the Cumberland accommodation, Both trains were west bound. Engineer Murray of the special train, lost control of his ongine, the air brakes refusing to work, nnd crashod into the rear end of the accommodation, which wns standing in front of the station, and was crowded with passengers. Engineer Haggerty, who was oiling his engine, saw the runaway train coming and sprang aboard his engine, throwing the throttle wide open. The accommodation train lurched forward but not. quick enough to escape a collision. Two coaches of the timntiniio- dntion were wrecked The coaches were filled with people. Many were covered with the wreckage, aud had to be helped out. WILLIAM'S PEREGRINATIONS. Stuttgart, Sept. C���Emperor Wil ham arrived hero today.

ATLIN IS PROSPERING- Supt-Mai pole's Vi it to Rossland���Mclnnes the your ger MakeBan Ioflarnoia- mdoiy Speech at Nanaimo. Victoria, Sept. ti. ��� (Special).��� The Globe, this ov?uing, publishes the following editorial: "There is much speculation in political circles its to what Lieutenant Governor Molnues will do in regard to the charges preferred against him by The Globe. Shoul I he remain silent, should he refuse lo employ the rneaus at his disposal to disprove tbem if they are untrue, the inference that he i6 guilty will be natural and justified. On the other hand if he should hearken to the appeals of Tho Globe aud other Opposition papers, and do his duly by insisting oa an early session of the Legislature, or dismiss the Government, he will ie placed in the position of oue who is compelled lo confess to having been whipped into action against his inclination. The statement is made in some quarters, that The Globe's outspoken criticisms of the Lieutenant-Governor's criminal apathy are libellous. Well, The Globe had no intention of uttering a libel. It does not want to libel anybody, but it dees want justice Aud if this country cannot get it trom the bauds of Lieutenant-Governor Mclnnes, it purposes ascertaining the reasons why. If it be libellous to raise one's voice against tyranioal conduct on the part of servants of the people ; if it be libellous to cry out against the spectacle of high officials prostituting their positions for the furtherance of personal ends; if it be libellous to revolt against those who would tear our constitution to tuttura and violate every principle of constitutional governmeut, then it means nothing that the British flag floats over out beads; it means nothing thnt we are supposed to be governed according to the practice of British people; it means nothing to declare that we are free men and Thn Globe's statements are libellous But we tell Lieutenant- Governor Mclnnes that he will not be permitted to close his eyes, and stop his ears to the protestations of the people with impunity. We tell Lieutenant-Governor Meluuts lhat ho will not be permitted to scheme fur purposes of his own with the miserable clique of incompetents wrecking this country, without beingjtold in uumis- takeablc language that such things must cease. Victoria, Sept. (i.-W. W. S. Mc- Iunes, M. P., was somewhat inflammatory in his speech at Nanaimo on Labor Day,when he said he would resign his seat because of the Laurier Government's aotion in vetoing British Columbia's anti-Mongolian legislation. Ho said that with the next session the matter would come up again. If the Government theu refused to do anything they must take the matter in their own hands. It was a serious thing to counsel violence, but there would havo been no other recourse open to them. The text ot the resolution passed by the Nanaimo people is as follows: "Resolved, that this meeting views wilh alarm tho recent decision by the Privy Council, which pronounces it ultra vires of the Provincial Government to legislate against Chinese. That we believe lhat uuless the Dominion Government aids the Provincial authorities by enacting legislation, which will restrict Oriental immigration, an incalculable injustice will bn done tl the labor and to the business interests of tho country. That the Dominion Government and the people of the East generally, do not seem to bo aware of the gravity of the situation and thnt it is necessary for us in British Columbia to initiate mis- siionary work in the East to open its eves. Therefore, we pledge ourselves to support morally and financially, any scheme looking to the accomplishment of the above aims and would recommend lhat one or more able speakers he sent to the East and supported there in active campaign along the suggested lines." Tho work done by the Provincial Lands and Works department in thn Atlin district has I een much commended by the repesentntives of European capital interested in the Northern British Colunibian gold region. In the first place, tho Provincial Government saved the townsite from the land grabbers. Then the Lands and Works department turned its attention to having roads made from the town to the gold creeks That the work was done well is certain from remarks made by Messrs. E. Jamie de Lamare and E. Orom. They have just returned from Dawson and Atlin, a'ter spending four months in tbe north. Mr. da Lamare, in particular, is enthusiastic over tho good roads to the different Atlin crieks. The two gentlemen rep resent nn influential French-English syndicate. They have secured hydraulic rights over 1200 acres cf rich gold bearing gravel land, and have also secured over half of the Atlin townsite, and are the largest owners of town lots in the country. Thev are enthusiastic over the future before Atliu City and its gold fields, and are arranging for hydraulic machinery to lie shipped to their resident engineer immediately, General Superintendent R. Marpole of the Pacific division of the Canadian Pacific Railway has heen to Ross bind looking over the property of the company with some of the engineers. One of the main objects of his visit was to arrange for additional loading facilities and sidings for the War Eagle, Ceuter Star, and other mines on the same belt. A few days will see it remarkable change in the facilities afforded these mines for handling ore. because the policy of the o lupany is m endeavor to keep all wages iu the country aud not to allow any other Canadian smelters to (rent ores. Vancouver, Sopt (I ���James McMnl- len, M. P., for Nortn Wollingto , Out., arrived todav from the east. He says the Canadian Pacific Railway is to him a marvel The equipment anil everything connected with it is first class and up-to date ill every respect and the line has proved itself to be a great colonizer of the greater Canada of ihe west. He returns east with favorable impressions of the future possibilities for the west which he doclared to be simply illimitable. It is to be hoped many other representatives in the House of Commons, will pay tho west a visit in order to famil iarize themselves with the great couu- try which lie* between the lakes and the broad Pacific. One of Mr. McMnl- len's sons accompanies him. Victoria, Sept. (I. -The full court today allowed the appeal for a new trial in the pack train case of Bord vs. Veith, ou the grounds of that Justice Drake erred at tne trial in ordering the defendant's exclusion from the oourt room while the plaintiff's case wus being given. The couit decided as follows: "In our judgment tho parties to an action have the right to be present during the trial, unless some good reason is shown why any of them should be excluded ; and the mere circumstance that these defendants would, or might, be called as witnesses did not entitle the plaintiff to require their exclusion. It is sufficient for the disposition of this appeal that no reason whatever was even suggested fur the exclusion other than the plaintiff's supposed right to call for it." John Weiler, the founder of firm of Weiler Bros., of this city, died tbis morning as the result of an illness, extending over six months. He was iu his 76th year. Mr. Weiler came to America when a young man, from Mayenco, Hesse-Darmstadt, settling first in the state of New York. He joined in tl, s rush to the gold fields of California in i860, and in 1801 niifteri north to British Columbia. Shortly afterwards he commenced in a modest way the business which has since become the largest of its kind in the Province. Iu 1800 he turned it over to his sons, who with his widow survive him.

Recent developments in the Wilcox mine at Ymir, owned hy the Broken Hill Mining & Development Company, have served to show up a tine body of ore. The .shaft on tbo Fourth of July olaim adjoining tno Wiloox and owu- ed by the same company,in on the same vein as No. 2 tunnel on tho Wilcox.. This tunnel has now been driven 255 feet nnd it is the intentiou of the company to drive it another 700 feet, when it will reach the ore shute on which the Fourth of July shaft is sunk. Tbis shaft is down 00 feet and has opened up a fine shu'e of oro consisting of ga' lena and oxides mixed. Two average samples taken across foul feet in this shaft gave respectively $85 and $00 in gold and silver pet ton. When the Wilcox No. 2 tunnel has reached below this shaft a large bi dy of high grade ore will have been developed. Tunnel No. 1 is now in 340 feet and a raise has been made to the surface, a dis- tiuce of 110 feet, from a point 300 feet from the mouth of tbe tunnel. A shaft has been sunk to a depth from tbe surface of 170 feet. Another tnnnel will be driven below this tn connect with this winze, when another large body or ore will have been developed. No. 8 tuunel has been driven a dis - tauce of 75 feet, making a total of 800 feet of work); accomplished on the property, all of which is on ledge matter. A valuable discovery was made a few davs ago when a uew vein was uncovered 20 feet from No. 3 tunnel aud running parallel with it. This new vein carries ore exactly similar to the parallel vein No. 2. A large block of ore, has been developed between the No. 1. tunnel and the Burfaco and that two other blocks are pnrtially developed below No. 1 tunnel aud on the Fourth of July. As by far the larger proportions of this ore is free milling it has been de cided to install a 10-stamp mill at the earliest possible date. A mill site has already_been secured; and surveyed aud water rights have beeu acquired over Wild Horse and Avalanche creeks. The road from Ymir to the mine will be oomplcted in the course of about three weeks. DEPENDS BIS FATE Potentates Have Power to Free Poor Dreylus. M. LAB0RIS APPEAL. It Is 3enerally Considered That Emperor William Will Allow tho German Attache to Give Evidence. Rennes, Sept. il. ��� The salvation of dipt. Dreyfns hangs on a word from Emperor William. This is the general opinion here tonight. If the Kaiser consents to allow Col. Sohwartzkop- pen, the German military attache iu Paris, in 1894, to testify before tbe court martial, or to send a deposition, or what is considered still more probable, to allow bis deposition to bo accompanied by the actual documents mention d in the bordereau, then Dreyfus is saved. If the Empcror.how- ever, decides thut it is uot in the interest of Germany for Col. Schwartzkoppen to intervene, then Dreyfns' chance is hopeless and his condemnation certain. Tonight the eyes of Prance are looking across the frontier to Stuttgart, where the Kaiser is staying, and anxiously awaiting his decision At a late hour he had given no sign either way. To all intents and purposes Emperor William stands today, the. arbitrator of the internal peace of France, for every one anticipates Humbert will follow his is piobably the explnua- delay. Emperor William Wurtemberg from Alsace- Loriaiue and King Humbert is at Turin. Communication between the two monarchies is therefore, somewhat complicated, and as they will uudoubt- edly agree upon identical measures in replying to M. Labori's appeal, it is p'issiblo that some days will elapse before their decision is known. The Opinion generally held here is that Emperor William aud King Humbert will allow Col. Schwartzkoppen and Col. Panizzardi to be examined by an in- terogatcry commission and their dispositions to be sent to Rennes with supplementary evidence from the originals of Esterhazy's treasonable communications. The anti-Dreyfusards are extremely exasperated at what they characterize as M. Labori's '"trick." He bad long been seeking an excuse to invoke the intervention of the German-Italian sovereigns and seized the appearance nf Gernuschi as bis oppurtnuity, declaring that tbe admission of the evidence of tbis foreigner justified his application regarding Sohwartzkoppen and Panizzardi. that Kiug lead. This tion of the has gone to TROUBLE IN FRANCE. Londou, Sept. 7���The Paris corre- sppndent of The Daily Telegraph, referring to the report which the public prosecutor will submit to the Senate sitting as a high court to try the persons charged with conspiring to bring about a change in tbe form of Government, says: "The report will include written evidence of the collusion between the anti-Somites and Royalists. A letter from the Duke of Orleans to M. Andre Buffet has been seized proving that the pretender has been subsidizing and tormenting the labor agitation with a view of provoking tbe Governmnt to call out the troops and thus produce a revolutionary outbreak. SPEAKS WELL OF NELSON. The Spokesman-Review of yesterday chronicles the arrival home of Mr. H. Bolster, manager of tbe Spokane Industrial Exposition, aud publishes in full The Miner's report of tbe meeting which Mr. Bolster addressed here. Following the report, the Spokesman-Review says: "That meeting will result in much good to the Spokane Exposition," said Mr. Bolster. "I believe it will be well to combine International day with Governor's day and have the two on the 10th. The people of Nelson talk of bringing down a band of Sootch pipers in full Highland dress. It is said that tbere iB one of the best bands of Canada in that vicinity. If tho 10th is selected it will give many of the visitors of the North a chance to remain over for Elks' day, on the lltb. Tho Rossland Elks will he down very strong." Mr. Bolster says tbere are $300,000 worth of brick buildings going up in Nelson now and that tho total front- ago of business blocks under construction is as great as in Spokane at the present time. "Nols n is almost twice the size Spokane was when I came here, in 1885," said Mr. Bolster. _P WeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemWeeeWeWI NELSON DAILY MINER, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1899. i -i Nelson Daily Miner I'lbtisned Liaily except Monday.

Mr. Ralph Smith, a member of the Ilritish Columbia Legislature, is described as "tbe recognised leader of organised labor" in this Province. If the report of his speech delivered at Rossland on Labor Day is to be taken as the maesure of hiB ability and his honesty, organised labor in this Province might easily have a more creditable representative. He emitted a great deal of very cheap and stale stuff, but our present interest is more with the lamentable lack of candor displayed in dealing with the Eight-Hour law. Throughout his remarks he treated it as if it, and what ho was pleased to regard as the principle underlying it, constituted the entire issue between tho mine owners and the mine workers This branch of his subject was introduced with the remark thnt when organised labor expressed a disposition for eight hours the operators ought to have yielded gracefully, remembering that the priuciplo was already established. If the gentleman had made himself familiar with the proceedings of a convention of the (liners' Federation of Warwickshire, England, two or three weeks ago, ho would know something of the lamentations made over the fact that neither party in the British Parliament would recognise the principle by snpporting an eight-hour day. We can overlook his ignorance on this point, however, especially as it is so obvious ou many others. Where he cannot be ignorant, and must bo dishonest, is in speaking of the expressed disposition of organised labor in this Province for au eight-hour day. So littlo was this disposition expressed that organised labor in the Slo- oan did not know that such a law was contemplated; did not know that the Legislature had any thought of dealing with it until soveral days after it lir.il beeu passed. So little was it expressed that the mine owners were kept in ignorance of the intention, and had no opportunity to put in a word for thoir side of tbe question. Like thieves in the night, some members of the Legislature, of whom Mr. Ralph Smith was one, stole in with their measure and smuggled it through. It was ill done so stealthily that it was several weeks before it becamo generally known tho law had been passed, and no one was more ignornut of its passage or surprised at it than the miners themselves. So much for that fabrication. The Issue in not over the law itself. If introduced openly in tho face of day, there would probably havo been no objection from many of tbe mine owners. What they object to is the most uujust attempt of the labor leaders to force them to pay a ten-hour wage foi an eight-hour day. With then pistols at the heads of the mine owners, those loaders have attempted to rob them of twenty per cent, of the amount of theii pay roll. That is tho issue, as Mr. tialph Smith doubtless knoars but is too dishonest to discuss. ence may approve, further than to require bim to respect the nonseieflces of Others und render decent observance of a custom that has become a part of the nature of onr nice. Nor is it proposed to ask any mini to forego t. right or commit a wrong. Tbe barbers of ihe City, for example, we anxions to have Sunday to themselves, but the nine of them ��re afraid that, if they cliBO, the leuth will not, and their business instinct will not permit them to be overreached, One of the bylaws proposes to secure by enactment what thev cannot make fast by mutual agreement. The remit is agreeable to the barbers themselves, and no; others have any call to complain. Another enactment is intended to prohibit the promiscuous trafficking in merchandise. That is in accordance with the general law anrt custom of the Dominion and of the Empire. Nelson may he a mining camp, as it is saia to be, but if by this is meant tbat it is subject tc tho sway of lawlessness aud rowdyism, there is somewhere a profound misunderstanding of the sentiment, of the Oity. There is nothing in lhe proposed bylaws lo give the least concern to any peaceable, law-abiding, respectable citizen, but much to please and gratify. All that need be said further is that if any person in the Oity, by offering ns a Mayoralty or other candidate, desires to challenge an issue ou this qnestion of a decent observance of Sunday, we have no doubt he oan be accommodated, nnd just as little doubt that by tho time he is through he will conclude that he hns had" a bellyful. pocted among those modest Territorial politicians, who go about their affairs without attracting 'he least attention from the outside. It 1ms been kuown that Mr. Haultain wns lining himself credit in the sphere sn far assigned him, bnt few, we imagine, had any idea lhat he possessed those Qualities that would (it him to take the lead in tho wider, more onerous, and more responsible arena at Ottawa. KOOTENAY ORE SHIPMENTS. Tlm officer in charge of Her Majesty's Customs ollice in Nelson has been notified that in future in no esse shall an invoice be shown to, or a copy thereof given to any person other than au importer, or his agent, or attorney, except by order or subpoena of a Oourt of Justice, He may, however, at his discretion, show the monthly aggregate returns to au enquirer. It has besn the practice of The Miner to publish reports of any shipments of ore, bullion or matte, which have heen entered at the Nelson Custom House. Through the courtesy of the collector of Customs there has never been any difficulty in obtaining the required information, There is reason to believe that the publication iu a newspaper of ore shipments from oertain mines is viewed with disfavor by some mine owners. It is easy to see that such publication can have hut one object, namely, the benefit of the country and tho public in general. It is for the benefit of the country that the output of ore from the mines of Kootenay,especially those iu the Nelson distriot, is made known throngh the press. There can be no desire on tho onrt of those who h���ve the interests of lhe Province at heart to hide the light of the country's prosperity under a bushel. It is for the benefit of the public that tbe actual output of a mine is made kuown, in order that they may bo so guided iu their choice of an investment. But it is possible that the publication of the output of any one mine may militate against those who desire to rig the market or gull the public us to the true valne of lhat mino. The Allans have added a now ship to their fleet, the Bavarian, recently launched. Tht Liverpool Post publishes a long description of tho vessel, together with a report of a luncheon given in celebration of tho event. The Bavarian is a passenger boat, but with generous freight capaoity, She is good for an average speed of seventeen knots, which will send her from Liverpool to Quebec in something less than six days. This is not up to the requirements of a fast service, but, as' her boilder said at the luncheon, if Canada wants more let ber pay for it, ami the Allans will supply what is demanded, It is thought ovei hero that three-quarters of a million a year for twenty years is pretty good pay, and the Allans might do worse than fulfill j tbo conditions for earning it Perhaps with the Bavarian they may induce Mr. Mulock to restore tbe mail lontraot recently taken from them and aiven to a slower line.

They propoHo nothing thut is at variance with the-wishm or repugnant to the desires of a very large majority of the respectable men and women of NbIhou. And it may as well be understood,first and last, that ���whatever the respectable meu anil women of this City desire they will have, for tbey are numerous enough to swamp the disreputable element when it comes to voting. There is no attempt at a revival of the Blue Laws, or of anything in the least like the Blue Laws. All that is proposed is that tbe by-laws of this Oity of Nelson shall recognise the eipedieucy, at any rate, if not the necessity, of having a day of rest.

TWO PRISONERS PLEAD B-U1L-Y AND ARE SENTENCED. Cameo- Pleads Not Guilty of Stealing Ch-que and Will Be Tried Next Tuesday, Yesterday Messrs. Kennedy, Cameron and Kelly 1 niarohod like Eugene Aril,���, "with gyvos upon" their wrists from tlie Provincial goal to the court lmnao, wliero Judge i'orin hold audience. The prisoners all agreed wiiu iiliicrity to tako a speedy trial Frank Kennedy was the first to be deii't wiih. He was charged with first of nil fito'ilin!! nine revolvers fiom the Nelson Hardware Company, and secondly with unlawfully breaking out ot tin) Oity prison. The prisoner pleaded guilty to colli charges. The judge re- nnrkird upon the prisoner's yiuth und how sad it was to see a young man in uncli a position. He (Judge Forin) knew nothing of the prisoner's past. Hern Keune iy interposed, and said that Ihe newspapers had given a history of his past record. He told the judge he had nothing else to say in answer to the charge. Judge Forin sentenced bim to two years in the penitentiary for each offence, both sentences to run oonourrently. Thomas Cameron then was placed iu the dock to answer to the charge of unlawfully stealing a valuable security, viz., an order for payment of f 16.05 from the person of John Leech. Tlie, prisoner stated that he was told to take the cheque hy Leech which amounted to a plea of not gnilty. His trial wns fixed for Tuesday, September 13 The Inst of the batch was Austin J. Kelly who was charged with unlaw fully breaking into the house of T Parr, on Cedar street with intent steal, The prisoner cheerfully pleaded guilty, and asked by the judge if he hnd anything to say for himself, said that he was "crazy diunk" ut the time the offence waB committed, also thut he did not break into the house, hut only attempted to do so. ��� Tho judge seemed somewhat exercised in his mind as to whether the prisoner desired to plead guilty or not guilty to the whole of the charge. After a short deliberation His Honor solved the question, by sentencing the prisoner to ono year's imprisonment, with hard labor, Kellv treated the whole proceedings as a Huge joke, and wns lend away smiling, with his fellow goal birds. M. to COUNTY COUKT. Today the sittings of the County Oourt of Kootenay open. There are o\er twenty cases on the docket, somo of them being adjourned cases,some probably will be settled, and some be held over till the next sittings. The major ity of lhe eases are claims for wngr s. There are two jury eases viz., Oenelle vs. Fox, a case involving a dispute on 11 hill tor lumber, and Lapointe vs. St. Denis, which is a claim for wages. George Hoi brook, the scavenger, fiRUres ns deli ndant in three cases. W. Traves is summoned to appear on a judgment summons (not. for the (list time) nt the suit of West und Emerson. The action of the C. P. B, against. W. A.

According to some, Aid. Fletcher Bhowed that be is accommodating biniself to the habits of his now political associates, by indulging iu a flow of Billingsgate, at the meeting on Tuesday night, when Aid. Beer's by-laws were under discussion. It was quite like old times lo hear such language iu the Council chamber. Who Aid. Fletcher's opponent will be is not yet apparent. To The Miner yesterday, Aid. Beer said ho had no intention whatever, of running for mayoralty honors To start with no ono had asked him to do so, and even if he wore asked, he would havo to refuse, as he has no I deRire for the honor, and oould not give thejtime to the City, if he were elected. He also stated that he would not offoi himself for re-election as alderman. He hoped to see the by-laws, which nre now before the Council, passed, and carried into effe-t. Asked if the by-laws concerning Sunday closing, which he is] fathering, will include bars and saloons, as most people seem to think, Aid. Beer snid that such was never contemplated by him. Such matters wero covered by the Licensing Act,nnd it was the work of the License Commissioner!) ro see that its regulatious were carried out He did not intend to urge the Oity Council to dn anything, but mind its own business. It is well known that His Worship Mayor Norlands, will have hnd all be wants of mayoralty honors by the end of the year, nnd that he will not contest the honor for a second term. So at present the representative of the Houston forces is the only one in the held. There will certainly, however, be a strong effort made to persuade Aid. MoKillop to become a candidate. NELSON ELECTRIO LIGHT. The ujw thick copper wire, to be used as the high tension feeder from the new dynamo, is being put up in Mill street. This wire will he carried along Mill street, down Josephine and along Carbonate streets, then down Hull to Vernon Btreet. All lights south east of this boundary will be supplied on tbe new alternating system from this high tension wire. The peonliar advantage, of th s particular system is the great saving in copper wire. The reason why such thick wire is used for the feeder is owing to the high voltage, which will be 82(H), whereas that in the old wiles is 120. The uew dynamo should arrive this woek, but tuo Oity Engineer in- t'nds, as far as possible, to have everything ready so that immediately the dynamo is put iu place, connections can to mado. AT THE HOTELS. THE COLUMBIA FIRES. Since, the hearing of the charge preferred against Charles Mt.llen aud Robert Cameron for setting iiro to the Columbia Hotel, the latter has signod a full confession Stating thut be received the money from parties to burn Mthe hotel, and that he hired another ..man to tlo the work. He implicates Mullen, Mauley and others. Ho states that ho reoeived tho money on Tuesday, tho 18th of Jnly, and promptly divided equally with the man who did work. A warrant is said to have th been issued for the arrest of JohJ A. Mauley, who is now supposed to be at Republio, undjwho is understood to be nl the bottom jif the whole matter. 'i'he arrest of Mullen und Oamerou was siiiiulatnoons though tbo men were in different places.

Agent, Nelson Vanoonvtr ____________H__H_RMI NELSON DAILY MINER, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1899. ��� j MINES OF I | KOOTENAY j *********+**>*>���*******���**+*+* The Rossland Miner states that the first discovery of coal in the Boundary country, it is alleged, has been made bv Robert Olark. a well known randier nnd prospector. The seam is enjd to average .? feet in width. It is located on the Lanrier mineral claim on Ihe north fork of Kettle river. Jay P, Graves, the well known mining und .melting magnate, has purchased u half interest and the development of the property will be commenced next week. Mr." Clark looated the Lrinr- ier seven years ago, and has done considerable work in opening tip two ledges, which give good assays in gold and copper. He sold a half interest to Campbell Johnson, of Nelson, B. U. For a long time pnst Mr. Clark bus been aware of the existence of a darkish slate colored ledge on the Laurier, bnt'.nntll recently never seriously considered the possibility that it might contain coul. The lead at various points is over 100 feet wide. Two weeks ago lie re-examined the show ing, and at a point where it strikes Fisherman's creek fonnd what lie con siders to be lignite coal. The pay streak, or seam, in tho cut banks cf the stream is about two feet wide. Tests showed that the product burned very well, and emitted a strong heat. Mr. Clark in accordance with the law re-staked the claim as a coal location, and also recorded similar locations ou adjoining mineral claims belong ing to other parties. He now holds 640 acres. It bas transpired that Jay P. Graves has secured the half interest after the find had been examined by A. B. W. Hodges, superintendent of the smelter, now building at Grand Forks. Mr, Hodges is also a mining engineer. He declined to discuss the matter.coutent- mg himself with the observation that a coal mine in the Boundary country would result in the reduction of smelt ing charges to |a. 00 per ton. Mr. Graves took several samples of the^coal to Spokane last week, iu order to have it fully tested and examined by experts. * _ ��� A. L. McEwen, a Nelson mining engineer,representing the Consolidated Mines Selection Syndicate of London, England, is in Sumpter. Ore., looking over mining propositions with a view of investing. Mr. McEwen states that be finds that camp the most prom ising field he has ever visited, aud be has been in all the mining districts of Canada, Ontario, and British Colniu bia. He will probably remain there some time, as he has under consider;! tion a property, and if the deal is closed, the amount of the sale will rnu up into six figures. Colonel S. W. Ray, of the banking firm of Ray, Street & Co, of Port Arthur, Out., ib also there looking for properties that are already developed or will buy promising prospects to develop He has under oonaideratior two or three different properties which are partially developed, and there is every probability of bis taking ono of them, and possibly two, He is much impressed with tho immense possibilities and enormous ledges of that camp. Colonel Ray will be remembered as the party who so successfully engineered the affairs of the Molly Gibson mine, that that property will ship this winter. He is also connected with the Dardanelles mine in the Slocan camp. �� * * The Excelsior Gold Mining Company is pushing things on the Joker, up the south fork of Kaslo creek, in the Slocan. It has this summer built a trail connecting with tho Government wagon road up the oreek, and has four buildings complotetd. It is now building a shaft bouse 40 feet square. It is the intention, as soon as this last building is completed, to put on about 15 uiiuers and pay $3.60 for eight-hour shifts. This 'company is composed of French capitalists who apparently, are not afraid to spend money fnely, as they have great faith in their property. Tbey will put in a stamp mill abont three and ione-half miles down the trail from the Joker. * * _ Work has been commenced on the flume for the Wakefield concentrator, ou Four Mile, in the Slocan. * * * Last week two feet of ore wus struck in the west drift of the Silver Bell, McGuigau Basin, Slocan. * * * Development on the Arrieu group above tlm Mountain Chief, in the Slocnn, has uncoveied a strong lead,with a sprinkling of ore. * �� ��� Work is tn i.e .commenced on the Mol- .io nuglies, in tne Hlooafi, at oneo bv the owners. The tools are on the ground for a small force * ��� ��� Hill BniH, have an rider from the Wakefield Mines, in the Slocan, for "oo.oou feet of lumber. It will not be deliverod until tho lubor troubles are over. * �� �� A wagon road is to be built to the Emily Edith, in the Slooiin, W. Kooh having the contract. BnnkhouseB will also be erected and next year a concentrator. * ��� ��� Both the copper and lead furnace at the Hall Mines smelter are now working at full blast. DAN GODFREY'S BAND. Programmn For the Two Concerts to Bn Givon on Saturday. The much looked for advent of Dan Godfrey's band iB at hand. On Saturday Nelsonians will have an opportunity of hearing one of the finest military bands in Europe. Heretofore the professional troupes of musical and dramatic visitors to this town have not been of a very high order. Doubtless the greater artists fear that it would not be worth their while to come to Nelson. If therefore the people of this City want to encourage tho visits of good musicians and theatrical companies tbey must unite in patronising any first class entertainment the management of which has been ven'uie- some enough to include Nelson in a toor. Godfrey's bund should surely command a hearty reception here aud there should not be a seat left unsold. The music ns set forth in the following programme is of a distinctly popular obnrnoter and certainly will not be above lhe least musical of lhe audience. AFTERNOON PROGRAMM10. I.
