Array ';** y Edition No. 1259 Nelson, British Columbia, Thursday, February 6, 1902 it Eleventh Year SECURITY COMES FIRST Lord Salisbury Points Out Weakness of Dutch Note. Ireland Armed a Greater Menace Than the Boers. London, FeD 5.���Lord Salisbury unveiled a life-sized marble statue of the late Queen Victoria at the Junior Continental clnb tonight. At a dinner after the unveiling, the premie referred to the recent Dutch note in a tone, for him of unusual flippancy. Lord Salisbury said that doubtless some ot his auditors thought it a bit of luck to cateh a cabinet minister anil extract from him some information concerning that abortive crisis which had lately filled columns in the newspapers. Tbe speaker said he doubted, however, if they would extract much from himself. He was unable to imagine the objection of the Dutch government, fur whose friendly feelings he had the greatest admiration, bat he oould not see the precise object they hoped to gain by this curious step. It was clear that the Dutch, continued Lord Salisbury, had no authorization from our enemies ou the continent, sineo from the moment this action on the part of the Nether- land's government was announced these enemies vied with eaoh other in declaring the Dutch action to ba undesiretl. The premier explained that his only reason for alluding to such tilings was that a time was coming when the people must think more of tbo suggestions of their intelligence and less 01 tho suggestions of their emotions. There is no longer any question of sentiment, continued Lord Salisbury, we have entered upon a matter of business which we must push through, what ��e aie now seeking is security. Any peace which recognizes fully the rights of the sovereign and gives us security for the empire, we should accept not only with willingness, but with delight. It is useless to tell us to behave so as to leave a pleasant reuollection in the minds of those with whom we are fighting. The only reason that can compensate for the sacrifice of blood and treasure is that for the future there shall be security n that part of the empire upon which the ambition of Mr. Kruger has procured tbis abundance of sorrow and desolation. Lord Salisbury said he had no misgivings for the future and that he believed the war had made the country more confident in its external polioy, more convinced that its opinions would receive due consideration from the committee of nations. But when the present strain had passed nway, continued the speaker, there would still remain duties which oould not be shirked. The existence of hostile fueling in Ireland was a signal that the efforts, upon which depended, in no slight degree, the glory and continuance of the empire, must not be relaxed. The , maintenance of our position in Ireland is the most vital object the empire has and it can only le attained by strenuous exertions, said the premier. The premier asked 11 the Irish people love the government better than they did formerly and replied himself that they did not. He said the feelings of hostility which had been expressed were more uncompromising than any expressions which had ever issued from the lips of 1'arnell or O'Connell. An Irish government with power to accumulate arms and ammunition would constitute a more serious threat than had the Boers, James Mackay, the British commissioners and those of other Countries in conjunction with local merchants of the countries interested. lie considered the negotiation of the cominei- cial treaty a matter of far greater moment and difficulty in whieh many conflicting interests would be involved, rendering a unanimous agreement hard to be arrived at. He also expressed doubtB as to Chinese official willingness or ability to apply the drastic measures which might become necessary. The fundamental features of the new treaty would, he said, be to open a fresh treaty ports, secure to foreigners the right to ouild and own property, to work mines, construct lailways in the intcrior,and generally to seoure better trading facilities. CHINESE TRADE. U. For 8. Commissioner Hopeful Satistactory Settlement. Victoria, Feb.5.���General Sharretts, United States trade commissioner to China, interviewed by North China Bally News, Hong Kong, said regarding tariff questions and the new commercial treaty: It seems pretty well settled that there will be no obstacle in the way of a speedy settlement of tbo tariff question. He felt that United States interests were Baft) in the hands oi Sir Ernest Satow and Sir FATAL GAS EXPLOSION. Eleven Persons Killed and Several Buildings Shattered. a Chicago, Feb. 5.���By an explosion of illuminating gas in the basement of a two story frame building at 30 Twenty Second street this evening, a number of people, the total said to be 11, lost their lives and the building was blown into kindling wood. By 8.4!> p. m. five bodies had been recovered from the ruins. They were all of one family, not a member of the family escaped. Two other explosions of gas followed t; quickly that it was hard to distinguish them. The first to explode was a main at 22nd street and Archer avenue. Then the manhole half a block south of Archer avenue was thrown into the air by a loud explosion. Flames leaped and roared from the hole. The fire spread below the street and smaller manholes blown in the air. The fiamea from the first gas main reached the Tbustle butcher shop. The building was a threo story frame structure and it had beeu weak- ed and nearly wrecked by the shock. It is supposed that the occupants of the building were knocked unconscious or were too panic stricken to rush from the plaoe. The dry and ratting wood was food for the fire and in an instant the flames had enveloped the structure. With a roar the building collapsed and tho occupants, with one exception, were carried with it to the basement. The adjoining building also soon caught fire. It seemed that the whole block would be wiped out before the firemen could get the blaze under control. A fire wall of a brick building on one of the burning structure held the fire in that direction. On tha others were two oue-story eottagas separated by a few feet from tbe burning buildings and that gave the firemen an opportunity of beading off the fire. On several street cais near the place the windows were smashed and the passengers severely shaken up. When people in the cars saw the flames gush from thi ground they rushed for the doors. TRAINS AGAIN RUNNNG. Rochester, N. Y., Feb. 5.-The Erie is the only railway yet closed as a lesult of the big storm of Sundoy and Monday. All of the other roads were open during the last 24 hours adn are running trains regardltBS, however, of schedule time. Not since 1878 bas the Erie suffered as in the present storm. It is completely tied up sonth of this city and not a train has arrived or depaited sinoe Sunday morning. KILLED BY COAL GAS. Little Falls, N.

A TRAIN WRECKED. Several Cars Derailed By Broken Rail on the Crow's Nest. The wreck of a passenger train ocs ourred on the Crow's Nest Pass railway on Monday morning at 5.50 at a point two miles west of Seven Persons station. The accident was caused by a broken rail. Dominion Express Messenger J. II. Spooner, was at his post of duty, and as the trucks of his car lett tho track he was the first to give signals aud to bring tbe train to a stop by putting on tbe emergency brakes. The engineer immediately did likewise. On investigation it was found that the tourist, Pullman and the dining cars had been derailed and left 200 yards in the rear, where tbey had been thrown on their sides. Fortunately no one was seriously injured, though all were badly shaken up and a few receive bruises and cons tusions. The passengers and crew were carried on to Medicine Hat by the express car. It took nine hours to clear tho tracks of the wreck so that the west bound passenger train No. 4 eouid pass. It is thought that the froBt broke the rail wbicn caused the derailment of the train.

This afternoon I have had a long conference with tho Minister of Foreigu affairs and huvo communicated to him your circular telegram concerning tho last verbal note presented by the minister of the United States. I told him that us tbe crisis hud reached its highest point and demands rapid action, I thought that besides actively co-operating to obtain a European concert, the most efficacious thing in these moments would be that France should address England, invoking the traditions ol international politics regarding Cuba from tlie beginning of the century and proposing that both nations act iu common with a view to peace.

Among the guests at the Phair yes- te'day was Thomas McGuigan, manager of the American Boy, in tbe Slocan. Mr. McGuigan stated that the ore shoot found at a depth of 500 feet In the Amerioan Boy is tho largest and best body oi silver-lead ore he has yet seen in the Slocan so far under ground. Nearer the surface ho says. he has seen larger oro shoots, but none that eomo up to it at the same vertical depth. The ore shoot is 2 1-2 feet in width and has beeen drifted on (or a distance of 45 feet and it looks as though it is going to widen out. The ore is of u high grade, too carrying about 150ouncees in silver to the ton and from 75 to SO per cent lead. The ledge in which the shoot was encountered in the American Roy is the ' -me one that runs into thc Last i i' .nee and from which so much high grade ore has been extracted by the Last Chance management. It not tne same ledge, however, as thc one on whicb a strike was made at i depth of 1,000 feet in the Last Chance Mr. McGuigan has been on a visit to Spokane and is on bis way back to the mine. Hon.

FACTS AND FIGURES. The simulated fear that is expressed by sjmo journals, which are pleading the cauBe of the Canadian Pacific railway company that tnere will be a coal famine is as ridioulous as it is foolish. A glance at the existing situation will show how utterly groundless is the apprehenion. The output oi the 630 ovens of the Crow's Nest Pats Ooal company is 1,000 tons of coke per day, and the number of these ovona is being increased from time to time. The cntiie Canadian demand tor this coke is less than 2110 tons per day. What would become oi the surplus ol 800 tons a day which is marketed iu the States if the Canadian Pa ciflc railway weie to have its own sweet way? The mines of the Crow's Nest. Pass Coal company are at present turning out 2,000 tons of coal a day and have a capacitty of 3,0o0 tons a day. The rtpntire demand fur this coal in Canada only equals about 500 tons a day. The remainder is maiketed in the United States. If the market for the pioduct of these mines in tho United States were 6'.iut off at least three-quarters of thc force employed would have to be deprived of emplcymont; in other words, placing the force at 1,000 men T50 would have to bo discharged, leaving 250 men to supply the home demand. This would be for what purpose? Simply to serve the selfish ends of the Canadian Pacific railway in its anxiety to hurt the business of a rival railway line. That the Crow's Nest Pass Coal company has honestly and energetically pushed its business in the past is evidenced from tho way tlie uutput^oi its mines has increased steadily from the time the company maue its first shipment of coal. The output for 181)8 was 8,yOO tons, for 1809 110,200 tons; for 1900 232,345 tons, for 1901 425,350 tons. R. G. Tat ow, M. P., despite these conditions, advances tho following absurd proposition: Thnt the tux on coal should bo increased so that the Montana smelters, which, he says must havo Crow's Nebt Pass coal, be compelled to contribute more revenue to British Columbia or move to this side of thu lino. This tax could be icbated should the coal be coked or used for manufacturing purposes on tbis side uf the line. Tbe increase in tho tax would only bave one effect which would be to increase the hardships of the coul companies, cut down their production ami would not have the desired offect of causing iho smelters of Montana to remove to this bide of tlie lino. All the gold copper ores ot British I'uliiiiiiii'i are reduced at homo. The production of silvor-lead ures in British Columbia last year was ubout 50,000 tons and a largo proportion of it waa smeltud at the Hall Mines smelter lu Nelson aud the smelter controlled by the Canadian Puciflie railway at Trail. Another sliver-lead smelter Is being built in East Kooto nay and this will iitill further cut down the amount of B. C. silver-lead ores reduced uliroad. Lead refineries are to be erected ut Tiail and in East Knotunay. When these refineries are in operation it is doubtful if any silver-lead ores will be sent across the line for treatment. lhe smelter capacity ul the silver-lead smelters uf li, C. is already more than sufficient to reduce u'l of tlio silvor-lead ores produued in the province. It is true that sumo of the silver lead ore is still shipped abroad and where this is done it must bo that the mine owners think thut it, is tu their advantage to sono it thither. Oondition nre huw- over. shaping themselves so that nu silver-lead ore will be sent out ot the country fur treatment, and within a few months lho bullion will also be treated at home, instead of sending it to thu rs'flnories in the Eastern State! to have thu metals seperated. The qnantitv of oro which tho American smelters now receive from British Columbia is merely an incident U There is another side to this picture whicb Mr. Tatlow has not taken into consideration and which may cut quite a figure in the matter under consideration. Within a very few weeks Grand Foiks and Republic will be connected by rail. Republic is by far tbe largest mining camp in the state of Washington. It bas �� number of mines which have reached the productive stage, but is unprovided with proper reduction facilities. Republic ore^must be smelted instead of being reduced in quarUjuills and oyanlding plants. The ore will all, therefore, be sent to the smelters at Nelson, Grand Forks, Trail and Greenwood for treatment. It is more than probably that the quantity of ure received from Republic and the camps close to it will be muchjlarger than the amount of 6ilver-lead ore that is being at present sent to the American smelters. In this'^way the coke matter would adjust itself so as to produce an equitable balance between the two countries and is a good reason why Mr. Tatlow's plan should not be put into effect. There is but little danger of the tax being increased on coal us proposed by Mr. Tatlow. The Crow's Nest company is paying ten cents per ton on the coal which it extracts. The coal at the coast escapes thia taxation. If a larger revenue is desired the coast coal should be likewise taxed at ten cents per ton tho same as the East Kootenay product, and in this way the provincial revenue could be increased considerably each year. HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY. INCOHPOBRTBD 16TO. BARGAINS PYR1T1C SMELTING. Until very leceutly it was thought that ..pyritie smelting was about to revolutionize thc smelting operations of the West, but it becomes more uud more apparent every day that these expectations are not being fulfilled, says the Mining Reporter. Owing to tbe very low freight rates on smelting material whereby lead can be brought many hundreds of miles to meet dry ores from other dis' triets, and to the moro thurough'under standing of the principles of wet concentration,tho^cost of smelting ores in a lead furnace has been so great y reduced that pyritie, or fire concentration, can hardly meet tho competition. The pyritie smelter at Leadville has come down, and in the best informed metallurgical circles of Colorado tbe idea prevails that although the pyritio smeltors are metallurgical successes, yet they cannot be classed as any too succosslul commercially. Dr. Carpenter, well known as a constuc- tor of pyritie smelters, in a newspaper interview did not speak very hopefully of tho pyritie smolter situation. If, however, advices from North- port, Wash., are to be believed, these gloomy forebodings are apt to be replaced by a more optimistic feoling. It is stated that Oscar Szontagh, tbe new manager and metallurgist ot the Northport Smelting company, has de- visud a method "of fluxing which makes lt possible to obtain a matte io tho blast furnace alone, until it reaches shipping grade, without subjecting it to uny preliminary treatment. Although we must confess we do not know what this particularly means, inasmuch, as no pyrilic smelter with which wo aro acquained roasts or otherwise gives the ore a pre limiiiurv treatment, yet Mr. Szontagh may have got or to some method of handling heavy sulphide ores very cheaply. We feol thut pyritie smelting has by no means been developed to its highest point of perfection, and those who arc acquainted with tho present condition of the mining industry hope that the day is not far distant when improvements shall have beeu made in the pyritie process so that low-grade dry ores can be lunuli. sl at u prollt without recourse to the lead smelter. MILNER IS OPTIMISTIC. Lord Milner recently said that Johannesburg would have a popnla tiou of 5,000,000 within ten years. It is feared that Lord Mliner's great tj ii tli n - i uh in fur South Africa and his desire to have in it a very large city bus made hiin optimistic. London, tho largest eity in the world, has a population of 4,530,003. New York, the metropolis of the United States, has a population of 3,137,202, Paris; the third largest cily iu the world has 2,530,831. Where centuries of accretion have resulted in the largest city in the world to have less than 5,0110,000 population it is difficult to see how 5,000,000 can be massed together in a South African town, with oven the excellent prnrpocts of Johannesburg! in a decade, Lord Milner bas made an overestimate, we believe of at lo'ist 4,000,000.

It is uleaD solid steel galena ot the highest grade ever found on the Sioean Star hill. Assays have beeu secured as high aa 1,500 ounces to tlie ton, and the oie will give net reiurns away up in tbe hundreds ot ounces. There is every reason to believe that the Hyron N White company is opening up another enormous bonanza which will in time be quite the equal of the world famous Slocan Star. The Sliver King mine is to resume shipments and Me copper stack at the Hall Mines smelter will ho blown in within a short time. J. J. Campbell, commercial manager for the Hall Mines smelter, visited Rossland on Tuesday ior the purpose of conferring with the management of the West Kootenay Powei and Light oompany relative to the installation of electric power in place of the present steam plant. The motors, etc., necessary to complete the alterations have been ordered and are now being manufactured. As the factories are considerably crowded it will be some time before the smelter plant will be operated by electricity. WHEELED THROUGH THE ICE. Ii. Heddle Had a Narrow Escape From Drowning Y esterday. A narrow escape fiom drowning occurred on the south side of the lake pear Seven-Mile Point on Tuesday afternoon. Mr. R. Heddle was making his way across on the iee on a bicycle and coining on some rotten ice broke through wthont the slightest warning, the snow on the iee concealing its treacherous quality. Fortunately Ior him, Mrs. D. McDonald, wife of a rancher, living at Seven- Mile point, ou the opposie Bhore of the lake.happuned to be looking out of the window at the time and had been watching Mr. Heddle just as he broke through, although he was fully a mile away. She called to her husband who was working not far from the bouse and he immediately ran down the hill and across the ice, arriving exhausted but with enough strength left to render the assistance which came just in time. He took off his coat aud holding one sleeve extended the other to Mr. Heddle who had been vainly struggling to climb out on the ice, and was utterly done out. After severe exertion tho rescue was accomplished, and Mr. Heddle was assisted to a cabin on the shore. Here his rescuer took off bis own dry clothing and insisted on putting them on tho half drowned man, partially clothing himself in a ion old clothes and a blanket found in tbe oi.liin. Mr. Heddle stated that if help had not oome when it did he would bave gone too the bottom, as the cold water was fast benumbing him. bicycling on the ice is a sport that is indulged in to quite an extent in some parts of the continent when the climate conditions permit, but tbe number of airholes on Kootenay Lake make it anything but a safe place to indulge iu tbis amusement. Mr. Heddle had been riding aronnd for some time on the Dicycle before the acoident occurred, and had intended riding into the city, but is not likely to do Bny more riding on that wheel, as it is hardly possible that it can be fished "P. A SATISFACTORY YEAR. The Anglo-Amerioan Fire Insurance oompany, which does a large local business, has had a profitable year, according to the annual report just issued. This is a new but strong Canadian company,and has shown* net profit of $:)4,000,and a loss ratio (luring a year particularly bad for fire underwriters of only 48 por cent. Tho compnny has declared a dividend of 7 per cent. LEGISLATION WANTED. Matters Nelson Hoard of Trade Will Bring llefore Associated Boards. At the special meeting of tbe Board of Trade which was held yesterday afternoon the resolution whieh had been drawn up by the committee to be submitted at the meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade were read and approved. They were as follows: 1. Whereas the present mettiod of levying the royalty tax on ore weighs very unequally on the mines of the province, be it resolved, that in the opinion of this meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade of Eastern Rritish Columbia the cost of mining should be deducted and the tax levied only on the net value of the ore. 2. That in view of the most unsatisfactory mail serivce now rendered in tne Kootenay district whioh is largely due to the geographical difficulties oi the country, it is the opinion of the AsMM'ialru Hoards that a resident assistant post ofliee inspector should lie appoin ed at once witli a view to having the mail service of the district under the control of an official who would have some peisonal knowledge of the conditions, and the post otlice department is hereby respectfully urged to have such appointment made at the earliest possible date. It was aho decided that the delegates from Nebon should be instructed to support the following resolutions which will be brought up by the Kaslo delegates: Resolved that in the event of negotiations for reciprocity with the United States being renewed the Dominion government be urged to appoint a representative of this province as one of tlie commissioners. Resolved, that whereas mining companies are compelled to pay royalties on timber used from their own ground in their own mines, be it resolved, that the government be memoralised that no royalty be collected on such timbor used for mining purposes. Resolved, that the Associated Hoards of Trade in response to the invitation of the executive council of the Dominion Hoard of Trade appoint two delegates to attend a convention of the representatives of tho commercial bodies in the Dominion to be held at Ottawa early in the year 1902, to take into consideration the question of Improved trade relations with Great Britain. Whereas, the experience of another year has demonstrated the utter inability of government officials whose timo is wholly occupied with other duties, to give attention to the prevention of forest fires or thc prosecution of those responsible for the lame; Resolved tnat the Provincial government be memorialised to make provisions at the present session for the appointment of timber rangers, whose duty it sha'l be during thc summer months to enforce the law in regard to bush fires and where possible to have incipient fires extinguished. The delegates were also instructed to support the following resolution submitted by the Trail Hoard of Trade: Whereas, Canada is becoming a large producer of pig lead and its product is being sold to a very limited extent in Canada, while tho bulk of it is being disposea of in China, Japan, Germany, and other foreign countiies, nnd whereas, Eastern Canada is today importing from Germany practically all of the white lead it consumes; He it resolved, that tho Dominion government be again requested to so increase Its dutleB as to make the manufacture of white lead and other manufactured lead possible in Canada and so allow the produeoi of pig lead in Canada an additional raaiket in his own country for his products.
